"Ugh, fine. Let me contribute to your hoard, then." Guts counts out 50 golden coins, and adds them to the pile.

Guts sighs. Not again. Guts uses the power of his dancing shoes to perform a dance before the dragon.

"Relax, dragon. I've learned a long time ago that giant hoards of valuables are either cursed, a trap, a mirage or owned by someone that can snap you in half without breaking a sweat."

"Maybe we should convince it it's not, you know, to make it parts with it's treasures."

Sorry for the delay, update tomorrow morning!

"Bloody... I don't think even Guffington possesses this much wealth. Hmm, too bad there's a dragon attached to this, you sure the dragon was classified as 'friendly'?"

Keep in mind that Gofraid was most probably blocked, that seems pretty clear to me. If say Hervi has Artemis under his control (for now), why not deal with the more immediate threat first?

That was layed out yesterday.

Right. So. That Gerrid was scum is a pleasant surprise, that our vig got killed, not so much. But the fact that is most interesting to me is that this (I assume) Serial killer, decided to kill Mursi. It kinda makes sense, as it was layed out in thread that he was vanilla. Which would make him an easy target. I'm just thinking out loud here, but what is the chance the voting pattern is useless because the scum voted for her to appear innocent themselves? Hervi, could you perhaps tell us how people were able to figure out Gofraid was the Vigilante, it might be important, because the scum, if you are telling the truth, figured it out too, if they didn't know already.

"Exactly my point. Watch your back, there will come a time someone won't take so kindly you liberated his slaves, and will seriously pose a threat. Been there done that. I've been meaning to ask, as you probably know, there was almost a riot in the hovels earlier today, do you know anything about it? The ones that fired up the crowd were trained combatants, probably hired help."

"It's good to see you still live. I won't get in your way. You do good work here."

"Mortimer? You mean the 'archeologist'? I know the guy, he lives up near the temple of Mercutio, on the other side of town. Now if there's nothing else, I will have to take my leave. It was good to meet you. Good luck with the sellsword business." The party now has directions to both the Dockmaster's office, and Mortimer's house. Edward then walks off towards the north. The party sees the Anubian has wandered off too. Purple hands the Keystone over to Atramor, and starts talking: "Right, the Dockmaster's office and this Mortimer's place both seem like good places to start. If you don't mind, I think it's best while you visit them, we look around for a place to set up base. We'll be here for quite a bit, and I'd like a safe place with no ears on the walls. I suggest we meet up back here, preferably before sundown."

Guts steps back slightly, and whispers to the Metasimian: "Slaveowners, probably, these sods ran away, can't say I blame em much, but I fear something worse, if these are the same group I met a while back, they are planning to go out and cause a slaughterfest, and judging from the conversations earlier, that might very well be tonight. I hope I can talk to their leader, both discourage them from doing that, without bloodshed perferably, and hopefully get to know something about Shaun's whereabouts."

First my original quote from the private conversation with Hervi, the second the part he adjusts his statement about exactly this, in thread, not two pages back. You know, I actually want to see a lynch. I honestly, can't think of a situation at this poinr where a lynch is inferior to no lynch. Unless Gerrid is a power role. In which case I will cry. Perhaps if is she is innocent it will make some people believe I'm not a total nutcase. Unvote: Hervi Pudding-Head (Hinckley) Vote: Gerrid (Captain Genaro) Gerrid is realistically the only one that can get lynched at this point, anyway.

This sort of thing actually pisses me off. How about you read the damn thing, and then come back. BYE.

That ain't true and you know it.

"Where's Kulkulkhan, or whatever that guy's name is. He knows me, let me talk to him, he seemed reasonable, last we met."

Sorry, I'm not meaning to be a jerk. But I don't call people names for no reason. I can't change things until you give advice and what needs changing and point out where I'm going wrong. Twisting words is something you can factually do, being a jerk is just so... general. Backhanded insults like you and others make in posts are no fun for anyone too, there's no need. If I'm being treated bad, of course I'm going to not go out of my way to be nice to them. That's how it goes, cast the first stone and all that. But shall we try to keep it closer to the game, thanks. I don't think that's true, first off, he did not know that until after he offered it, the votes were not piling up, he had plenty of oppertunity to make me change my mind about my viewpoints, but instead he did not. Kept it a secret instead. So not revealing you only because I would vote for him, does not seem like enough reason to me. I read what I read, and in this perspective, what is being called out as twisting his words by him makes sense, yes. I did not call it out, because I had no need, and could get no explanation. You already responded to it, thanks for that, by the way, but I don't think there was anything to do. As I said, there was no point to bring it up, you weren't involved in any lynches, and of course when it became relevant, I did mention it. I could of course keep public hourly records of all my suspicions, but I don't see the point and I think it would just be a lot of work. If you want to call it leveraging my vote, I call it wanting to know what is going on. If making me want some clarity before I vote instead of word against word from people who could either be scum or even both be scum, if that makes me a jerk, I will gladly bear that title. I will also accept the mantle of the master jerk and the associated salary. Okay, that's fair enough, but to me that looks like certainty, and that's suspicious. I think you might be too trusting of Hervi, but that's my skewered viewpoint, of course. I'll be honest, I don't know what a potato message is. Your cryptic message was in thread.

Of course, here is my Hervi-suspecting side, which some of you know as the omg-you-are-such-a-dick-stop-picking-on-poor-Hervi-he-is-such-a-delicate-boy. What if he is actually scum, but Hervi knows he won't get a conviction in time, so he is a safe bet for if he ends up dying another time. If you look at the things that happened today (In before: you are weak, listen to yourself, stop deriving things, gooood) it can be constructed that Hervi and buddies deliberately try not to get someone lynched. Cui bono? Exactly. I was talking about Gerrid being scum, if that was not clear.

Right, So Hervi & Pantheon want to get Gerrid lynched. So let's assume in the around 4 hours that this day last they can gather the (by my count, it is a definite possibility I can't count) 7 votes they would still need to get a conviction. What then? If she is scum? That would be great, would go a fair way to clearing Hervi in my eyes, and of course another scum down. If she is town? We would have a lynched a sheep. I can't see any other benefit from that. Keep in mind this is all based on the use of a different font and a slightly more well written part than we have seen before from her, without an explanation from her yet. If that explanation comes, do you think it can sway enough votes to get someone else convicted? Well no, I don't think so. While I would like a good, well written explanation like any other, the change in style is definitely odd, would it mean anything, really?

Honestly I am getting really tired of people saying I'm an megablock and a dick and a jerk while they are no better themselves. Where have I offended you now?

If you don't want cryptic messages, don't make cryptic may or may not mean something messages in thread. And splitting the vote further, because that's terrific. Scum are laughing their megablocks off.

I said I agreed to knowing Aphrodite's name, but hoped it would not be you indeed, Mursi. Am I being a jerk? Why? Because I am calling out Hervi on his behaviour I think is scummy? Am I jerk for suspecting you? Am I jerk for doing what I think is right? Perhaps, because you won't win then? is that your logic? Explain that, please. The logical thing for him to say would be, "yes Aphrodite is Mursi, good eye, I lay down to get lynched now. What do you mean? How does Mursi implicate me?" Because that's what we should do, if you think a fellow townie is wrong, and Hervi has repeatedly said he assumes I am a townie, you try to correct that, right? Not doing that only makes me wonder if he wanted to hide that fact, as not to imply connection (scummy connection). He said he would rather have my vote than endanger his trusted, but you were/are never in any danger, are you not? And please tell me, what harm is there now that I know it is you who is Aphrodite, Mursi? Hervi obviously wanted to hide that, so please tell me there is a logical TOWNIE explanation for that. Look, Mursi, I still suspect you, your whole defense against Danr's allegation that you made was basically: I don't think I was twisting his words. That does not cut it. You said he was being confusing. Reading back, I don't think he was, really. There's not really much to go on there, I have to say, but a dead man's words, whose words were absolutely 100% true, should be taken attention to, at least. What was more worrying was that you just seemed SO SURE of Dragmall's guilt, throughout the whole thing, up until Hervi and Dragmall call it a day, and you follow suit. In itself not a very convincing argument, and I don't dare try to get you lynched on that, but fact is that only the scum at this point can be sure of anything, so I am taking it into consideration, treat it as a valuable clue, and treat you with the right amount of caution for it. I'm sticking to my vote.

The only ones I doubt exist are Poseidon and Aphrodite, and Hervi has no way of trusting either of those, so according to his own logic, he would never trust them. So what he is saying is that he is breaking his own holy rules in order to get two failsafes if both he, Artemis AND Demeter die. What. I can't see the reasoning there. I can't believe people are not seeing the fact Hervi goes out of his way not to answer me. That in itself should cause for suspicion. "I don't want to be pressured." Really? Really??? Come on, we all know Hervi is a big boy. My conclusions aren't 'weak' Besides the fact that that is an opinion, read. You aren't reading. Because some people really don't like to do just that, here are my arguments in a nice format, easy to read! Hervi occupied us all throughout the day with the case he set up against Hades, aka Dragmall. Now, for no reason, STILL NO EXPLANATION GIVEN, he calls it off, and instead votes for a sheep. What makes it all that more strange is that people seem to follow him on a whim on this matter. He, in this (part of a) private message, was about to tell me the identity of one of his allies, which would make me trust him a bit more, reveal nothing but a vanilla townie that Hervi trusts. Win/Win, Right? Well no, since this is his next response (My response in between is that I said it better not be Mursi): What's the problem here, the sudden change in attitude? I hit a nerve when I suggested Mursi was one of your accomplices? I never said I want to be part of the town block, really, (I don't think there is one, perhaps people being tricked into the scum's grap, but town block, nah). If you are part of it and have an action, take a long hard look at Hervi, Mursi and whoever else is a part of it. His responses in thread deliberately avoid certain things, YOU CAN'T DENY THAT. In a little book called the Temple Mafia or something a criminal mastermind did the same thing and bluffed his way to victory that way. You have his responses to read through, to me they worry more than they set stuff to rest, but that's a personal thing, I don't like how he treats me like an eight year old in private, but that's a personal thing too. Don't make compliments and then treat me like I'm mentally ill, you maybe do that to your pigs, but I'm a strong woman, okay! If it still classifies as weak for you, I would have to ask what people find so strong in the case against Gerrid. So the suspicious thing is that he is using a different font, which may or may not imply his speech was written by someone else. Not to play devil's advocate, but maybe he wrote some of his stuff on say, Word, maybe he just misclicked a button? And how does this case differs from Bergulf whose words suddenly sounded a lot differently according to some people? Note that the person accused of doing that, was Hervi, and Hervi & Friends are lobbying against another sheep, Gerrid. I'm just saying.
