That's terrible logic and frankly sounds like the desperate ramblings of an evil-doer unmasked.

It looks like everyone else is sticking with voting for Zerg mind you so you live to fight another day, bad man.

Confident of Zergrinch's identity as a man-eating monster (he gladly confirms it!), the mob strings him up for the second day in a row. As the body dangles on the rope, the crowd waits expectantly for the fabled Silver Sword to appear and end the terror once and for all.

And so they wait...

and wait...

...and wait...

Soon the moon rises, and Zergrinch tears free of the ropes and escapes into an alleyway. At least he won't hunt tonight, but nothing has been done to stop the serial killer (or killers!) that are on the loose.

I would have left a window for the sword's owner to intervene, but they already PMed me with their intention of not doing so.)

Night 3 Ends In 48 Hours.

(Did I say 24, how silly of me)

Day 3

Disgusted with the total inexplicable failure of the jackass with the silver sword to step up, the villagers seek out the visiting Wizard from out of town — he'll identify the lazy asshole responsible, and then they can say rude things to him. Alas, Diss has been asphyxiated, his own crystal ball forcibly jammed into his mouth. The serial killers are getting a little creative.

Without a lot of options on the table, the villagers decide to try their luck at the temple of Vecna. Things couldn't get any worse, after all. Sadly, nobody's home — except LZ the Abductor, pinned to the wall with his own thumbscrews. Everyone politely tuns their back while someone rifles through his pockets for his Wand and Holy Symbol — law and order is definitely on the back burner right now.

Diss the Wizard is murdered by a Serial Killer. He owned nothing.
LZ the Abductor is murdered by a Serial Killer. He owned the Wand of Magic Missiles and the Holy Symbol, and both items change hands.
The Eye of Vecna was used, and changes hands.

Nobody killed Zerg during the night either, what the fuck.

Day 3 ends in 48 hours. Lynch vote begins now.

Zergrinch is the Werewolf. Lynch him dead.

Go Team Orcus

Vote changed.

Deni wanted Zerg lynched clearly, suggesting he had the sword. But he didn't use it. Why so?

Fuck knows, probably because he's evil.

Voting for Denicalis

Nice cover, Shin. Who was the most vocal about not lynching zerg? Maybe because they -had- the sword and knew they weren't going to use it? Maybe so they could gun for someone they know isn't a threat to the people.

Shin for being the least convincing evil guy pretending to be good in the history of time.

Shin certainly seems keen on seeing Denicalis dead, and I have to wonder why. Sure, he started the bandwagon against Zerg yesterday, but that was the most logical thing to do. Since the Cleric is dead, maybe Shin has some otherworldly knowledge of Denicalis' role?

A wolf in sheep's clothing. It's in your best interest if everybody keeps re-lynching Zerg, because it keeps us scared and guessing. Easy pickings for the Serial Killer or the Doppelganger. The only thing I can't understand is why the Doppelganger didn't just copy his teammate the first night.

Deni, you're telling and telling it badly. I also don't trust nutty, but that's a lynch for another day.

'Cause he's lol stupid

Or cautious. Since there's a 50/50 chance he's gonna die if his double gets killed.

The odds of him being targeted randomly the first night were smaller than any other night just by nature of there being more players in the game. lol stupid.

Good point. So maybe they were gathering intel about roles. Needed to know what Skills was and do it to you.

In any case, any arguments about "good and evil" are moot. This is faction vs. faction. Let's look how close to victory each faction is:

1. Town - 3 peasants left, and they win if Orcus/Vecna cultists die and I'm neutralized. Chances of winning are slim.
2. Adventurer - 1 bard left, and he wins if he amasses all the items. Very improbable without the warrior.
3. Vecna - necromancer and vampire lord alive, win if they discover everyone's roles and items. Chances increase the fewer players there are left.
4. Orcus - team is intact. They win by outnumbering town and adventurers (4). With 2 kills per night, they'll win after tonight if the serial killer or doppelganger is not neutralized.
5. Werewolf - wins by being the last survivor. Impossible to win since the last guys standing will have the silver sword.

Voting Inferences

1. LZ (abductor) had a choice between Denicalis and myself on Day 1 voting to save his skin. His refusal to vote against Deni leads me to believe that they're teammates, and that Deni's a Vecna.
2. Mutual vote between knkwzrd and Shin; they're probably not on the same team.
3. Mutual vote between a lurker and nuttyturnip; they're probably not on the same team.
4. Chaotic voted against Garr (warrior) and is probably not an Adventurer.
5. Garr (warrior) voted against ZiggyGo, suggesting that the latter is not an Adventurer.
6. Nothing can be inferred from Day 2 voting, except suggesting that Shin and Denicalis are not allied.

By your logic then Zerg, anyone wanting to kill you, as the only player left who can upset Orcus' victory tonight is more than likely Orcus, reaffirming my choice of Deni as a lynch target. The sword's still out there and whoever had it can kill you if they want and the only people you're useful to alive are those with no night time kill actions yourself. Obviously, I'm not Orcus so it strikes me you're more useful alive and killing than neutralised, although if you kill me I'll be fucking unimpressed.

There's also an equal chance that I can take out a Townie/Adventurer, since I'm solo and don't know anything other than voting patterns. Problem is, both townies and Orcus can claim to be good, since there are three of them on each team :(

I guess as proof, people claiming to be good can try posting the role description Pang PMed you. Whatever's more sarcastic is the real deal.

If Deni doesn't get lynched, I'd like to eat him tonight.

That being said, I like to root for the underdog. So go town!

But I guess it's in Orcus' best interest to keep lynching me to hide vote patterns, all the while eliminating the Town/Bard at night.

Yeah, ok, gonna vote for Shin again.

You know what? I'm outing myself. I'm a villager, and I used the eye of vecna last night. Shin and Lurker's continuing attempts to look past the obvious fact that going for zerg was an act of preservation and nothing else makes me think they're working together. I'd put down money that says both of them are either Vecna or Orcus. I'm pretty much a dead man walking anyway, so whichever team out there doesn't have those two on it? Have fun with you slaughter of them.

I'm casting my vote for Shin. Why? Because I think he's the dick who didn't use the Silver Sword yesterday or last night.

This strikes me as pretty much an admission that he left Zerg alive, and if not then he's likely Orcus pulling the opposite of the old hide in the shadows tactic. Do I buy Deni's story about being a Villager? Eh. Moreso than I trust Shin's words, at least.

If I have Shin to thank for living, then obviously I owe him a debt of gratitude. It's currently 4 against 2 for Shin / Denicalis. Let's narrow the gap a bit. :)

Throwing out a vote for Denicalis.

I'm throwing out a vote for Deni.

Can't imagine this day being any better than the other days.

Today's vote goes to Shin.

Debates rage long into the afternoon, but the issue of whom to hang seems unresolvable. Both Shin and Denicalis seem to be equally hated.

Then, a figure draped in a gorgeous cape asks for a moment of the crowd's attention.

"Friends, we are all agreed that both these men are super evil and should totally be murdered to the extreme. However, is it not also true that Denicalis is just the worst guy ever and also probably some kind of demon? Plus I think I saw him stealing some of your lunches. Also, he beat a nun to death on the steps of a church. With a folding chair. This is documented fact."

With that, the crowd turns on Denicalis en masse, tearing him limb from limb rather than affording him the dignity of the gallows. Alas, when all is said and done it seems that Denicalis was just an innocent peasant as he claimed.

He had no possessions.

Votes:

Shin / / / / /
Denicalis / / / / / /

(Cloak used.)

With only two peasants and a bard left to oppose Orcus, does the town have any hope? Worse, the werewolf is on the loose again! Perhaps the evil factions will turn on each other. It's not impossible. Shut up.

Oh well, game and set for Orcus.

I sent in a kill against someone I think is undeniably Vecna or Orcus, so let's see what happens.
