It would have made sense, say that there are three votes, one for each person. At the end of the day, all three are killed? My boy, does that not seem a bit cruel?

I think he's saying that you were the deciding vote before Mairn stepped in and cast the deciding vote very very late in the day.

I could not agree with you more,my friend. The only thing that is quite bothersome to me is that the late Mairn cast the final vote with a grand total of 8 minutes remaining in the day, otherwise it would have been a tie lynch between myself and the late Corporal, i.e. a No-Lynch. Here's a basic timeline, because I'm not quite sure how else to explain it, and I quite enjoy creating timelines: I vote at 6:44 PM CST, giving the Corporal the second vote, and creating a tie between him and me for lynch victims At 2:05 PM CST, good Sir Mairn (rest in peace, my friend) casts a vote for the Corporal, ending the tie, and putting the Corporal as the lynch victim. At 2:13 PM CST, the day ends. Now, you said: "I didn't feel the lynch was in jeopardy due to the fact that the player with the most votes would be lynched." Which I understand, but for just about 7 hours, the day was looking like a no-lynch, i.e. exactly in jeopardy. It just seems rather...risky, in my opinion, to not vote when those stakes seemed so high. However, addressing Berdam's suspicions about Sir Eustace, I must side with Sir Eustace on this side. - it just seems as though he was just role-playing, nothing more. At least, nothing more that stuck out to me, but that's the magic of humans - we all have different opinions. So, friends, opinion away!

An issue has been rattling about in my brain ever since the previous day - a whopping six of you didn't vote. That's half of our numbers! If any of you could speak out as to why you did not, I shall hark your reasoning. Was it because you did not think that lynching someone on the first day would be the brightest idea? Or did you run out of time? I realize that there is no majority vote in this particular situation, but it's still seems quite queer to me.

'Tis just a suggestion, Sir Eustace. I don't see why else there wouldn't be two kills unless the vig was killed, or we don't have one at all. Or the assassins don't have the ability to kill, or they chose not to. But it seems unlikely either way to just have one kill last night. As for the fact that Klaer has been vig in a past life, as the good Seargent Radford has said in his previous life, past lives have no effect on the present. I'm not associating Klaer with anything that she had done in the past, and I believe I also grouped dear Sir Mairn in with her as both potential vigs. Really, I am a bit shaken by the fact that you would even accuse me of letting past lives affect our present ones. It seems to me that you are simply groping at a more sinister reason for my association, when in reality my association is based purely on what little we know. Also, I must add that I am trying to make sense of your comment, when in fact I am not very sure of what you said at all. "As you said no one in particular stood out yesterday, so I don't really see why you would first suggest the possibility that the vig was killed, hence the lack of a second kill, and the randomness of an assassin kill when in fact in a previous life Klaer was indeed the town vig." I did say that, aye, but what in God's name does that have to do with the fact that I am speculating that the vig has been killed? And what does that have to do with Klaer's previous life? I do admit that I am a tad confused here. If you could clarify for me that would be absolutely splendid!

Alas, a fourth of our numbers down already! We must stay vigilant, lads! I was thinking along the lines that the good Corporal was a Daytime bomb, that explodes if lynched during the day, but venegeful definitely makes sense. My question is this - why would the Corporal - God rest his soul - not say that he was? Usually when someone is about to be lynched, if they have something kind of role like that, it would seem benefitial to say so. Or at least it seems so to me. I had quite the sickening thought, Sir Eustace, I must admit. What could the chances be that either Mairn or poor Klaer were the vig? I see no other reason why our vig would stay in bed during the night... And I would simply guess that the assassins' kill was a random one. No one really stuck out yesterday, I say, so my money is on that it was simply random.

Well, we don't have much time left, and, honestly, I don't think lynching me today is exactly what I'm interested in...but we have to lynch someone. Thus: Vote: Corporal Banning (Tariq j) Your reasoning for voting for me definitely felt like you were trying to start a bandwagon against me (incidentially, exactly what you accused me of doing). And you attempt to condemn me for "copying" Marin despite my very drawn out guidelines about my reasoning for voting when I did vote. It really just looks like you took the first jump that you could at lynching someone the second a vote started up. I'm very interested in hearing what you have to say now, my good man. Speak up! I do admit I'm also interested in seeing what's developing between Felix and Sir Skarbin. One vote has no reasoning, the other is a quick turn-around OMGUS vote. Sir Skarbin, you speak up, too, lad! I want to know what's rattling around in that head of yours!

It was more Sir Berdam who hammered in the "second to vote" point. Or at least said it. The good Corporal Banning merely said it....without saying it.

Apologies, my dear lady Masin.

It's more of a psychological thing than an actual "summon him" type thing. Think if you only had, like, a few moments of free time. You pop in, see that you have one vote, figure it can wait, and then leave. Or you pop in, see, like you say, 11 votes for him, and then he probably would want to say something. I'm not saying that my voting for him would make him appear, but it definitely made me, at least, feel like he would now have better reason to. Okay, I also get what you're saying here, but you're acting like Manis gave her reasons for retracting her vote, and then I just copy/pasted them exactly. Which I didn't. I explicitly stated when I made my vote that I would retract it once Klaer showed up.

Think of it this way, if you will. I gave reason for voting for Klaer - the catalyst, as you say. Would it have been just as effective in inspiring conversation if it had just been Marin's vote? Perhaps, but I always feel like seeing two votes against someone makes them twice as eager to prove themself. Now, take that as you will, but that was my only reasoning - I simply wanted to ensure that Klaer talked. Based on previous experiences (perhaps those that I, myself, hosted), Klaer showed up late in the day and did not contribute much to discussion on that day. I wanted to ensure that that would not occur again - because, despite the activity that is occurring here, inactivity seems to happen just as often. And we all know that inactivity does not contribute to a good discussion and finding the assassins. And, since Klaer showed up quite nicely after Marin and my votes, why would I not remove it? I even stated when I voted for him that "I will be more than eager to hear him out." I gave every reason for voting and every reason for removing my vote when I voted. I see no reason why this is being immediately condemned, considering that I gave ample reason. And, see, above me! Mister Skarbin does the same thing to Mister Felix!

Nothing, my lady, just merely putting a soft chokehold upon you until you spoke. Now that you have appeared, my lady, I see no reason to not release the chokehold. Unvote: Klaer Messell (PirateDave84) I agree with Mister Marin here.

As the good man Marin stated, the pirate/blacksmith Mister Messell has not shown an appearance here...I find myself wishing to...ah...tighten the screws, if that is indeed how the phrase goes, with my vote. Vote: Klaer Messell (Piratedave84) I realize, of course, that Mister Messell has all the apt reason to produce himself as an innocent man, and I will be more than eager to hear him out. See this merely as a bell of awakening, my friends, just a ring to Mister Messell that he will hopefully respond to. You disappoint me...Marin. I did in fact mean water, God's gift to the earth, but now that I have partaken in some of your..."vodka"...I cannot help but agree with you in saying that it is a personal favorite.

Pirates are fun! But, please, my Lady, do not confuse mere fun facts for anything more sinister. I, too, wonder where our pirate/blacksmith is, especially as he's popped his head in here once or twice. I advocate for no man at this particular point in time, my Lady. Mister Skarbin, might I introduce you to this...clear drink? It seems to remedy the drunkeness that has possessed you thus far. I might see Mister Upswich being involved in drinking this...ah...elixir.

Ah, but say you're on the high seas for nearly, say, twenty or so fortnights. Who, then, once your weapons have been dulled, as well as your spirits, will make you weapons for you? Certainly a crew of pirates would dare not come to our ports and use our swords. Odd, I would have hoped that, based on your reputation, Alanna, you would have been more open-minded about things.

Aye, but in my time as a captain on the high seas, I experienced many a pirate blacksmiths. After all, lads, who makes the pirates' weapons?

Now, lad, your words are seemingly open to interpretation, but if my ears do hear correctly, I do agree with your valiant spirit. Although, again, 'tis quite unclear. I suppose this is why you are but a woodcutter.

Ah! 'Tis the words of a godfather! Suspicion be placed upon from the highest courts! Your numbers only confuse, yet I, the brave and clever Fitzwilliam, can see through your percentages, damned godfather!

Just chalk it up to your drunkeness this time, lad, and we'll be fine.

Gentlemen, clearly something worse than boy-hood tomfoolery is afoot! I entreat you all that you immediately give yourself up if you plot against our king - much simpler, that.

Boys, boys! Let's not get drunk off our arses, here! We need to set up patrols, obey orders, keep both eyes on each other, not on our drink! Although...I could...go for just a little sip.

But, sir, I protest! You must get your rest if we are ever to catch these assassins! Stay vigilant!

Sharpen up, boys! I say, we've got a neat fuss down here to keep track of. Assassins? Of all our luck. Keep a sharp eye out, boys.

Yay! Wacky roleplaying!

Diggity Darn!
