I'd like to apologies. I did not speak clearly. I do make it my aim (in life) to never call a person dumb, only their actions. Admittedly it's a fine line to draw. You are not dumb (or superdumb). Though I hope you agree, for the doctor to announce on the first day would be a bad move for the town. Clearly you are not the doctor, I am mistaken and my facts are confused. I am surprised that there is a roleblocker, I had thought that we would not have someone able to do this. If true it is good news. You are right. It would be ironic if I, the summoner, in charge of finding witches was in fact a witchbreed. However that would be confusing the kittehs again. As for my story... I'd like to hear what you think my story is before I feel the need to work on your perceptions of it. I have tried to be clear and up front with everything. Have I done anything suspicious other than to vote for you?

Regarding Puzzle Pieces and Scum I wonder though if some scum did get peices but held onto them for fear it would reveal who they are. Or at least one way to find them. As it turns out the message just gives a number, but if the scum only saw a few pieces at the start they may have been wary and not shown their pieces. This means that those currently holding pieces back may be considered either lazy or scum... Or they could just lie and say "I didn't get a piece" (maybe that's what Wife of Darth is doing).

After reading from his book of witches' confessions and the ecclesiastical court papers, Christos says.... What you're saying here doesn't make sense. Perhaps you mean you're the doctor. If so, you protect one person and can't protect yourself. It would only hurt town if the doctor announced themselves. Either you are town and the doctor and are super-dumb for revealing your special role. Or You are town and vanilla and just regular dumb Or you are witchbreed and sowing confusion and panic and misinformation. My feeling is the latter. I'm not 100% convinced, so feel free to reply as to where my reasoning might be faulty. But for now. Unvote: Cuslo Mizzle (The Customizer) Vote: Wife of Darth (Darth Nihilus)

Ow. That sharkling was quick. But we are done. Nerwen gives 5 gold to each of the heroes. Nerwen heals Sarick at the cost of 1 ether. I'll hold the potion until we need to distribute it. We all have a potion at the moment anyway. OOC: isn't it handy that characters have their own disticnt speech patterns. It is a shame to lose Fenimor, but it is good that we will have another joining us.

Well, that means we need a battle order. Knifk Nerwen Fenimor Sarick Dak Guts Should I just go ahead and call Fenimor's action, since QM said he's not around? If so Fenimor attacks sharkling thug from front row

Christos Knight, after finishing one of Franklin's eclairs that he took, but left in the sun all day is feeling all talkative. Perhaps the cream has fermented slightly. Perhaps it's just the two bottles of wine. Perhaps he's just a competitive bastard who thinks this is all a game... Spotting scum 101: Spotting scum takes work. Only dumb scum fall for easy tricks. You might think you can spot one because they don't know something obvious, or because someone says "only a scum would do that" and they do it... no. The way to spot them is when they reveal they know something they shouldn't reasonably know. Of course, what you think is unreasonable, may in fact be reasonable. for every argument there is an equal and valid counterargument (Newton's law of conversational inertia). Which brings us back to the talking. Lots of talking. The more we get the scum to talk, the more chance we have of catching them out. That's why the quiet ones get picked on. (and why "I've got a life, I can't play all the time" is understood, but doesn't completely excuse a person). You can tell someone is worried if they've got a bunch on unanswered questions directed at them. So ask questions. especially questions like 'how do you know that?' How do I know to ask that question? I'm not just a pretty face you know. I do my share of reading

And like I said, I can see that there isn't. But until I have a better target, my dot is on you. Not because I dislike you or I'm dead set against you, just because I've already rolled the dice and poked someone. If you want the dot to move, poke someone yourself, perhaps you'll stir up a discrepancy that makes them a valid choice.

I guess that sounds reasonable enough. And I don't want to be unreasonable. But I also don't want to be seen as flip-floppy or vote jumpy. So I'm going to hold off my unvote until you suggest who you think might be scum. It's nice of you to offer apologies to WifeofDarth and SirCarrot. Are you so sure they are both in the clear? what have each said specifically to clear themselves. From my point of view, SirCarrot has done more, but I'm still uncertain... There is still 30+ hours of day to go. Plenty of time to poke people.

Guts. attack the sharkling. That way if you roll a mug you'll get more than one little gold piece. Dak, same with you. Leave the pegleg for Sarick to get from the back row.

I hope sarick struck the thug with his knives, hurting him rather than with the staff and thus healing him!

Up you get Dak! Good hit Sarick. You too Guts. I suggest you take out Pegleg from the back row Sarick, while the rest of us try and take down the Sharkling. Don't worry Knifk, I know your shield is new and you need practice using it in combat! Nerwen leads by example whacking the sharkling thug from the front row

I humbly beg your pardon my liege but I believe Zam Kuric also has 4 penalty votes against her... Unlimited unvotes! Let's roll Vote: Cuslo Mizzle (The customizer) Sorry dude, but you've said lots, avoiding the flying under the radar accusation. But you haven't said anything of substance. You also said that scum don't know one another. Sure, that could be dumb townie mistake, but it could be scum trying to appear as dumb townie, since everyone here should have some idea of how the game works. If you've got a good response, I'll unvote, no fear. But for now... let's see where it goes.

Oops yes. Nerwen attacks pegleg'd thug from the front row. Knifk's orc friend Gorg is a level 1 barbarian. I know he signed up for the quest. It'd be easy(storywise) to fetch him, we haven't left Eubric yet.

Again 24hours w/out input from jorgevorg Fenimor attacks sharkling thug front row //Wake up Fenimor!//

Christos Knight, drunk, hungover, lonely and scarred all at once, sits in a corner watching an imaginary puppet show... I have a plan to catch witches! I'm not going to tell you what it is unless you ask. If you ask, that proves you're witch (since you want to know my plan and how to avoid it!) If some one asks, Look! I've caught a witches. Oh... wait. I just told you the plan. Oops. I don't have a plan... Exit all, to the sound of applause BURP!!!

'Yawn... stupid hangover timezone grumble' There is no need to rush. Voting doesn't finish until the 72 hours are up. We have plenty of time to consider our words, and our actions and PMs. That said WifeofDarth; You say that Carrots is just a (confused) town, that you've known that all along? That you've just been muddying the waters and that you've been lying to us? How does this help us trust you? How does it help us catch a witchbreed? Doesn't it in fact make it more difficult to catch one? I had a minion prepare a list. there are six people who have only spoken twice in the last 32 hours. Skip Pudding (once!), Dragus, Pirelly Dabito, Gilly Wooks, Bisky Partsy, and my own Master Hale. Odds are the is a witchbreed among that list. Let's see who leaps up to defend themselves...

Looking good! Hey Atramor! He stole your hat!

Order of Battle Knifk Nerwen Fenimor Guts Sarick (Dak stunned)

Ooh! A Minion! Hadn't noticed I had one. What do you think of the conversation so far Master Hale? Who sounds the fishiest?

Does the healing staff work on negative effects, such as stunned?

My feeling is that either WifeofDarth is telling the truth OR SirCarrot is. One or the other. It would seem like such a complicated plan to no only have the Godmother go out hard, but to also immediately throw blame on a fellow witchbreed. Of course the good thing about early finger pointing is that it generates leads for the town to follow...

So it is. It's just a nick name. since you can be a hot head :) For the record, I also found a puzzle piece. I wonder if the wife of Darth has one...

My head feels like it's in the wrong place. Like I'm 9hours ahead of what time should be.... urgh. At least I'm awake now, and thanks to the handy court scribe I can read what you all have been saying. Though for some of you it's not much. (and that's ok, really. It is day one) At this stage there's not a lot to go on, except for the wife of Darth and Franklin Darth on one hand, being noisy and out front isn't an obvious thing for the witchbreed to do, since it draws attention. But she has more or less upfront admitted she is not able to investigate or protect us, instead is calling for those actions to be used on herself. She's directed attention onto Sir Carrots, is that a fair suspicion or throwing someone under the bus? I guess it depends on if Carrots is witchbreed or court... Of course if Darth is the witchbreed master then she will appear innocent if investigated, which will help in the trust building. Cuzlo Mizzle isn't buying it, but Cecily wants to wait, and fair enough. On the other hand, Franklin says it's all random and pokes Wully Tintin. (who hasn't responded yet). But he does offer eclairs! I just don't know... A quick look at them suggests there's more than six pieces? I do hope there's not more than six witchbreed, we'd be stuffed! Perhaps you're right Volcanic, it's a little paranoid (but probably harmless).

Knifk! slow down, you can do it! Well done Fenimor! Well done Guts! Dak!... Nerwen checks Dak, He'll be ok, just needs a short rest. Sarick! I'm sorry, you were right. If you'd been behind us you wouldn't have taken such a hit. Your first plan is better. As for you thugs, you mugged the wrong people! Nerwen lays into the pegleg'd thug again. Order of battle when more people have posted actions.

OOC It's been 24 hours since battle started, no input from Jorgevorg. Party leader's choice. Nerwen gestures to Fenimor Attack the shark man. Front row! Fenimor attacks the Sharkling Thug from the front row.
