GAME OVER POST 733 - WW - The Jihad of Muad'dib

[The Jackal]

I see no reason to move my vote at the moment. I would like Schmidty to check in though, in case he has an important role..

[Raiders Army]

With four others left to go, I'm going to leave my vote where it is. I'm out until deadline.

[Coffee Warlord]

I not sure I'm in favor of it, but with the tie rules being secret...do we think about chancing it and finding out?

I'd generally say no. Usually it's either a no lynch or a lynch of all tied parties, and I'm not sure either of those benefit us.

[PackerFanatic]

I'm with Jackal...that seems dangerous, especially so early.

[Autumn]

Lately tie rules have involved a random killing of another party. No way to know if that's the case here, but it's the sort of thing that makes me think no way.

[The Jackal]

Who has not made their vote?

Heh, that's hardly different than most day 1 votes.

[Danny]

Me. And a tie is a bad idea

[Danny]

Vote MartinD

I'm not voting Autumn and either Schmidty or MartinD look to not be around.

[Autumn]

Crazy votes today. I'm heading downstairs and don't know if I'll check back in before deadline. I'm obviously not going to move my vote at this point. Hopefully enough people will be around to shift votes if necessary.

[Telle]

So it comes down to Autumn or Schmidty as decent vote candidates at this point. I don't like the idea of voting for the person who hasn't shown up yet on the first day, especially since we didn't have a firm start date for this game.

vote Autumn

[The Jackal]

Does anyone have a vote count? I'd do it but the friggin caps tied this game up. I'll be in character for the majority of this game, I swear.

[Raiders Army]

Back before bed. I take it that Danny's vote is the tiebreaker and MartinD is the lynch tonight.

[Telle]

Well there's still a lot of single votes out there that can move if people come back on before deadline.

[Raiders Army]

Well, I'd say we have less than 30 minutes to prevent a tie. Sigh.

UNVOTE DARTH VILIUS
VOTE MARTIND

Just because he doesn't have a space in his name and I gotta stick with a fellow Raider fan, Danny.

[Raiders Army]

It sure is quiet in here.

[Raiders Army]

Anyhow, I'm gone for the night (for reals this time). Good luck Fremen.

[Passacaglia]

VOTE AUTUMN

[Coffee Warlord]

Hoookay.

[Telle]

And, now we're back to a tie...

[PackerFanatic]

UNVOTE NTNDEACON
VOTE MARTIND

I'd rather not see a tie.

So why Martin?

[saldana]

7 minutes to deadline

[The Jackal]

The real question is why do -you- want a tie?

[The Jackal]

Pass might be trying to see if someone is saving Autumn, but still very fishy.

[Passacaglia]

You didn't quote my post, but I think you're talking to me? I don't want a tie -- there's still time for stuff to happen.

[The Jackal]

I was talking to you, yes.

[PackerFanatic]

Truthfully, no real reason - just picked one of the people on the docket. Nothing against either Martin or Autumn.

[The Jackal]

Tough to vote for people that aren't here to reveal, both ways. Martin wasn't in immediate danger when he left, so he could have felt he wasn't pressured to make a move.

[The Jackal]

I'm going to sit on my vote I think, I don't want any shenanigans.

[Passacaglia]

Closest you can get to saving Martin is a tie at this point anyway, unless others change.

I don't want to save anyone, I think it likely they are both vanilla.

[Passacaglia]

Then why don't you want to save them?

[The Jackal]

Mostly I just don't want a tie, which is what was about to happen. But looks like we're going to avoid it.

[The Jackal]

Hah, yes, well, voting for one or the other isn't going to make a difference, just saying I'm not trying to save one of them in particular.

[The Jackal]

We will take MartinD's water tonight, let us hope he is a traitor.

[saldana]

deadline, results shortly

[saldana]

With the loss of Naib Saldana less than a day ago, the lack of leadership amongst the Jihadi is evident, and most of the day is spent with accusations, followed by counter accusations, followed by more accusations.

The walls of the Sietch reverberate with the names of those who could be enemies of the Fremen, but as the day comes to the close your haunting blue within blue eyes focus on MartinD.

"You are wrong! I am loyal to Muad'dib! I AM A JIHADI!" he yells, but his pleas fall on deaf ears. You, the Fremen, who do everything as a tribe, together begin to move towards MartinD, seizing him and easily overpowering him as one of you flashes the milk white blade of your crysknife across his throat.

The blood that sprays from his throat covers the bare sandstone walls of the Sietch, but only for a moment before it begins to congeal. No Outworlder would stop bleeding so quickly. Only a Fremen, who never wastes a drop of water, even in death, would coagulate that rapidly.

MartinD was a Fremen. You have killed a Jihadi Warrior.

As his water is given back to the tribe, you look around, all of you asking yourselves if you will know anything more tomorrow than you think you knew today.

It is now night one. Night orders are due by 6am EST.

[Coffee Warlord]

Not entirely surprising. At least we didn't hit a role.

[The Jackal]

Still think it likely that Autumn was also vanilla, but PF's late vote should be remembered, at least.

[Autumn]

Checking back in. Thanks for not voting me, though it would have been the same result. I'm just glad Martin didn't have a role. I was a bit worried that he may not have wanted to reveal earlier and then didn't get back on.

[Autumn]

Off to bed. I'm going to look over the votes in the morning and see if anything jumps out at me. At first glance only Pass's vote seems strange to me. Breezing in and making it a tie at 12 minutes to deadline seems an odd move, with nothing to be voting on. It doesn't really reveal anything for us as villagers since someone is bound to try to break the tie one way or another. It would be a rather bold move for a traitor though, so most likely just Pass hoping to flush a wolf.

[MartinD]

Well, it's been a while since I didn't make it past the first day - was always going to happen at some point...

Good luck with finding the enemies of the Fremen

[Darth Vilus]

Well that sucks but it could've been way worse. Hopefully we can get a good scan and hopefully a block in the night. See you all in the morning

[saldana]

The silence of the night is broken by an uncontrolled exclamation of what sounds like surprise from an unknown member of your party. Not only is the speaker unknown, but so is what is seemingly an epithet, but is yelled out in a language none of you can understand...it is an Outworlder!

You scramble from your yari and begin running through the tunnels of the Sietch, following what you recognize to be the sounds of battle...following them straight to the home of one of the Jihadis who had come from another Sietch to join you...straight to the home of Coffee Warlord.

As you reach the cave, the "battle" seems to be nothing of the sort, and you realize the Battle Language Profanity which awoke you was likely the result of the other person in the room being entirely incapable of mounting any type of legitimate attack against CW...which obviously is his purpose here.

Each thrust and slash of the knife in the attackers hand is deftly and easily parried away by CW, who stands in the center of the room with a look of almost calm serenity on his face.

Seeing the arrival of the raiding party, the attacker begins to back away and pulls a small box from his belt with one hand, and draws a small lasgun pistol with the other. As he throws the box towards you all, he presses a button on it, and a shimmering golden aura appears around it. Taking careful aim with the lasgun, he fires a single, short burst at the aura.

The explosion is deafening in the small space but as the ringing in your ears subsides, and you dust the rubble off your sleeping robes two things become apparent. The first is that the unknown attacker has escaped in the chaos caused by the explosion.

The second is the Coffee Warlord never moved. He still stands in the center of the room, unharmed, with the same look of calm serenity on his face.

He turns his brilliantly blue eyes on you all, entirely unaffected by the events that just occured, and calmly says "It will take more than that to stop this Jihad, and much more to kill the Kwisatch Haderach!"

Instantly, you all drop to one knee and proclaim a single word..."Mahdi!"

day 2 has begun, voting deadline is 10pm EST

[Raiders Army]

Well, unless I read that incorrectly, CW is to be trusted. I will be back after work today.

[PackerFanatic]

I read it that way too, RA. Always nice to only lose 1 on Day 1.

Can we assume he was able to protect himself then, being the role he is? (the full extent of the role is not known, obviously)

[Coffee Warlord]

Welllll, that was fast.

Fate cannot be stopped, Harkonnen filth. I am the whirlwind. All those who stand against the Fremen shall burn. All futures point to your doom.
