Just checking

Didnt that string begin with my death as the innocent villager?

[tanglewood]

Vote King

I, like many others have said, would like to believe Qwikshot, but he is making it very difficult. First, he dallied on revealing his role for several pages, then says he was Chubby's brother, only he claims that he neither PMed Chubby nor has he sufferred any consequences of Chubby's death. In every game I have played, when one brother dies the other does, or at least is severely affected in some way, I see no evidence of that here. Lathum has lead us to one Necro, I see no reason to not follow his lead again. The rules say that if we kill all the Necros, the Egyptians win. That is about as concrete as you can get for me.

In his defense, he ended up claiming that they did exchange PMs, and that they basically discussed votes, nothing incriminating was said.

almost, you were second...Neon_Chaos was the night kill on night 2, you were lynched on day 3 (without having used your PK, much to the the dismay of the wizarding world)

[Tyrith]

Details are what win people over in Werewolf.

And I'd like to note for everyone for the sake of it that there was a brother role in 27 that didn't involve people randomly dying because of their brother, and I caught hell for it

If I had any idea who was bad, I would have used it! I was too busy trying to convince the Seer that I was not bad! No one ever believes me

[path12]

UNVOTE KING
VOTE LATHUM

Reasoning. First, I actually am fine with any of the three (Lathum, Qwik, King) being on the block -- they are the most logical candidates at this time. Secondly, Qwik's information today -- as suspect as it might be at times -- ties nicely in with the theory we've been struggling with, namely, where are the disadvantages for the Egyptians? Third, he didn't need to come out with this today since he wasn't likely to be the one on the block. There is an argument that he might be stepping up to protect King, but I don't think it overweighs point four: If he (Qwik) is telling the truth, we could be in big trouble if we go another way. If he is not telling the truth, we have King and Qwik in our sights and the necs on the run. I don't know that I'm willing to risk the chance that he might be right about the prophecy.

[Tyrith]

At this point, I'm kind of content with anything that happens, too. I'd rather we kill king or lathum than qwik, because if we kill qwik and he turns out good it doesn't necessairly tell us either way about king. But I won't be terribly upset however the vote ends up.

[saldana]

as goes the pharaoh, so go i

unvote king
vote lathum(especially if he is the one that gave me these herpes)

I can definitely buy this, and it gives us a chance to hear king's side of the story tomorrow. But what happened to your concern with lynching the Prophecy?

I'm willing to unvote, but so far the only things that have convicted Lathum are his lies from earlier (which haven't hurt anyone, that we know of), and Qwikshot's bogus-seeming story today. That evidence against raising an Avatar and handing us a bad guy on a platter, and perhaps one more (in kingfc22) isn't quite enough to give me a different target for lynch tonight.

Fair question. Simply, the potential benefits outweigh the unknown drawbacks. I'm not comfortable with the 5% chance that not lynching Lathum could cost us the game, and I think we have the numbers on our side plus two big suspects in our sights if we're wrong here.

[path12]

By the way, you've gone way up on my list today.

[Abe Sargent]

To be fair, Lathum is the wildest wild card of them all. Tricked Dubb, barkeep came out in support, so did Fouts, Now Qwik is dead set against. He's been caught in lies. I really would not mind that the wild card is removed formt eh table. However, I still feel king is a Nec, and I find it difficult to move my vote from a suspected Nec to a wild card.

I partly agree. My vote for King is in no way an endorsement of Lathum's actions, although I do believe that he is largely working towards the same goal as us i.e. kille the necros, so is useful at this point.

[SnDvls]

unvote qwik
vote lathum

gotta follow someone who I totally trust and it's wasted on qwik today

[Chubby]

6 minutes by my watch...

[SnDvls]

need anxiety or tyrith to move or both to move to lathum

[SnDvls]

dola if that is to be the lynch

[path12]

Vote your conscience.

Man, I really want to switch my vote, but I keep coming back to "I'm 100% sure kingfc22 is a Necromancer initiate," and I just can't do it.

[Vince]

Unvote kingfc22
Vote Lathum

Not sure if it'll matter...gut feeling here.

[Tyrith]

We'll find out about Lathum, one way or another.

[Vince]

And with that, I have to leave for a softball game. Hopefully the Egyptians do better today than my softball team is about to.

[hoopsguy]

Time check.

[hoopsguy]

Results forthcoming.

Final vote is a tie.

Lathum - Qwikshot (3045), King (3128), Path (3357), Saldana (3359), SnDvls (3369), Vince (3375)

King - Tyrith (3093), Anxiety (3103), Lathum (3172), Dubb (3207), Schmidty (3322), Tanglewood (3352)

Last question -- up on the trust list, or on the bad guy list? I'm assuming trust, because I don't think I had much further to go on the bad guy list

[Tyrith]

Well, Vince, you nominated yourself for hero or goat status tonight.

[Vince]

Damn it! I have to leave

[path12]

Trust. You were my very first choice for lynch at the beginning of the day.

[path12]

No he didn't. I had already decided no matter the vote.

[Abe Sargent]

I think I know the prophecy's powers. I'll post later to see if I'm right or not.

[Tyrith]

Kinda figured the duke power was getting used tonight, one way or another.

[path12]

With the tie I still have it, so I guess that's good. I'll take the blame if we're wrong today. I thought it was a risk worth taking.

[hoopsguy]

This 7th day of hunting necromancers takes several bizarre turns with Qwikshot stepping into the spotlight to battle Lathum. Lathum seems above the fray as he points towards King as a necromancer. The people seem ready to lynch King before the Pharaoh leads a late charge against the so-called Prophecy. In the end, it is deadlocked.

Path is again called on to make a decision. He seems ready and comfortable with his decision. "Lathum, prepare to meet Osiris". Lathum walks up to the statue; the priests do not have to restrain him as they have other men. He seems serene as the statue begins to hum before him. The statue creaks and actually begins to move towards Lathum! A giant hand reaches down towards the still form of Lathum. Lathum raises his right hand just before the statue can grasp him and immobilizes the likeness of Osiris.

"I am not meant to pass from the earth in this fashion. Egyptians, this path is not open to you.". With that, he lowers his head and walks away. There will be no sacrifice on this evening.

As this takes place, Saldana falls to one knee. His body is covered in hideous boils; his condition has worsened over the past two days and a yellow substance is flowing freely from his skin. His breath is raspy and increasingly infrequent. There is nothing to be done for this man except to prepare his body for the afterlife.

Night 7 has begun.

[Alan T]

Lathum is really obi wan kanobi!

[saldana]

and i'm spent.

[Abe Sargent]

And there you go.

[path12]

Shit. Well, at least we know that's not an option. Sorry guys.

[Schmidty]

I am tired.

[tanglewood]

What a complete fuck up in the last 20 mins or so. At least today has really solidified in my mind who the remaning bad guys are.

[Lathum]

way to go guys. way to go.

That's right. I totally forgot how open you've been with us about your role. My apologies.

Regerdless of how open he has been, which I agree has been not very, it was obvious to me what the play should've been today. Anyway, I'm out for the night.

I wasn't able to check the thread, or sit at my desk after like 6:30 pm (my time) or so. I am an indentured servant to my wife.

Excuse? Yes.
Truth? Yes.

Well, I don't know how that impassioned argument in those last fucked up 20 minutes got past me.
