Savage Dragon Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 (edited) wow, with this new vote-for-the-winner rule everybody is trying really hard to be likable, it almost make me want to be truly evil just to be different... but it doesn't fit with the character i already setup... i dunno maybe ill do something to him to make him less sociable... and if everybody is this nice, then howcome we got all these assasins??? and whats with the blue eyes?? seems like everyone has them Edited April 8, 2006 by MeThinksUFoolish
Gryphon Posted April 8, 2006 Author Report Posted April 8, 2006 I guess there's someone out there who values their ascention to the throne above any 'friends' they might have to have killed in the process of getting there. Strange that.
cryptomancer Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 It is called diplomacy, the art of talking nice and carrying a big stick.
Mynx Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 ...and suddenly the world of politics makes sense...
Gryphon Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Posted April 9, 2006 Patrick Durham - Johann of House Wererathe was the assassination target over this night phase. Day phase begins, you all have 48 hours to interact, plot, scheme, PM me 'lynching' assassination votes and generally try to survive the day. The interaction is going great guys, I love the careful feeling out of potential allies and the careful attempts to get support against each other. Please keep it up. ~~~ Current Scorecard: Mynx - Samantha of Aldwin Akallabeth - Ciroth of Hendrake Gwaihir - Choseyre of House Aricline Tanuchan - Katelyn of House Minobee Venefyxatu - Karen of House Minobee - Missing presumed dead Patrick Durham - Johann of House Wererathe - Carelessly seems to have stumbled into the lair of some chaos beast JDRollins - Denor of House Helgram MeThinksUFoolish - Duke of the house Munich Vahktang - The General of the House of War - Deceased: poisoned in his rooms by persons unknown. Quincunx - Cid of Tarquin - Deceased: A most unfortunate accident with a hunting fire angel Azuran - Sol of House Sepharis Cryptomancer - Sabastian of house Sawall
Savage Dragon Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 i believe i heard it described once as "the art of saying nice doggie until you find a big rock"
Savage Dragon Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 yea, so i noticed that for some reason, prolly because everyone is so wrapped up in their own story, that the game seems kinda in seperate parts and no one is paying too much attention to the other parts (but thats just what it seems like to me, excuse me if you are paying attention) so anyway i added this part about a meeting to encourage a more streamlined storylined that included everyone. if you dont wanna be a part of it, well, then just dont come to the meeting
Gryphon Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Posted April 9, 2006 Of course you've been summoned into an ambush... and if you don't show up you're obviously the traitor... but that's just the suspicious bastard in me talking. I encourage everyone to attend Duke's gathering - it'll make for some good opportunities to interact and get the politics flowing as a group once more.
cryptomancer Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 *Calls PA* "Shift my 11'o'clock to three, tell my three I need to cancel as I will be out of town, send flowers to my 12'o'clock and ask her to meet me at 6, and tell the golf club I will need to pospone my urgent morning 'meeting'."
Gryphon Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Posted April 10, 2006 Here's the deal: Because this party is taking a while to set up, I'm extending the current 'day' phase by 24 hours to let it all get underway properly. That puts end of phase at about 38 and a half hours from the time stamp on this post - plenty of time for you to all get your day-phase votes PM'd to me. In addition to this, once the party is underway feel free to keep it going instead of closing it down with end of phase - so the party should still be going when I call for your night phase votes, but that'll happen later so don't worry about it now. This has the additional advantage that you can all share your reactions to the kills that I make at the party.
Patrick Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 Now that I'm dead, but still have inspiration to do another post I have a few questions. Are funerals held for the dead in this setting. If yes, would Johann's house have skilled enough shadow masters, who could retrieve his body (or what is left of it)?
Gryphon Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Posted April 10, 2006 Funerals are definitely held - bodies are returned to the primal chaos from whence you all came. As for getting Johann's body back, that's a good question, and I'm afraid that since corpses can't be located by means of the trumps or Logrus summonings, about the only person who knows where the remains are would be the person(s) who set up that rather nasty pit trap. I suppose you could try summoning his ghost to lead you to the place of his death... that might work. ~~~ On another note - as usual all daytime 'lynch' votes are welcome at any point during the day phase. If you decide to alter you vote after you've PM'd one in, just PM me again making it clear that it's an updated vote. I've had one suggestion that the lynching take place on the way to the party. If I get enough votes coming in I'll think about making it happen.
Gryphon Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Posted April 10, 2006 Proposed timetable for this day/night phase: If everyone gets their daytime assassination votes in by the old deadline (12 and a half hours from now) then I'll have the assassination happen while you're all on your way to the party. I'm after at least half the players voting to make this happen. The 'lynching' assassination will happen either before the party/ on your way to the party/ early in the party and then I'll take the night phase votes and we'll have that kill either late in the party or as it's ending. Either way i'd like the leadup to this gathering of Dukes and the gathering it's self to encompass the next two kills if possible. That's the plan for the next 36 hours or so. How many of your votes I get in will either make it happen or not.
Savage Dragon Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 2 killings at one party? i hope i have enough snacks...
cryptomancer Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 but..... i thought it was a full buffet dinner, with wine and cheeze after.
Gryphon Posted April 11, 2006 Author Report Posted April 11, 2006 Did everyone decide to take a break all at once? I still need some lynching votes before the kill - half of you have not sent me anything and if you've all gone inactive I'd at least like to know. The lynching kill will happen as soon as I've got enough votes, so get those in! Once that happens continue posting as a normal day phase for the party/gathering that's being organised and while that's going on I'll get the specials to PM me their night phase info so that we've got everything running in parallel. I'm going to put a 12 hour limit on the lynching PM's because I want to keep the action moving in the game. If I don't have more votes by then I'll run with what I've got and someone's going down possibly without the chance to cast a vote of their own. Once again, once the 'lynching' assassination goes up the party continues and night phase begins immediately.
cryptomancer Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 The Raven lands and hands a red dossier, appropriately clingwrapped with top secret stamped in large letters across the front. Behind him a small swarm of pidgeons with aviators and sniper rifles waits for instructions. Sorry its late, but the seagull bombers canceled on me at the last minute and I had to retrain this lot for the 28th time this week.
Sweetcherrie Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 Gryphon asked me to post this for him. The pen has been down for a while, and he really had to get some sleep, so he will post the lynching in the morning, his morning...should be in about....6 to 8 hours from know, I think
Gryphon Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Posted April 12, 2006 We're now into the "night phase"... for what it's worth. Specials send me your choices, and everyone, the party is underway! So let whatever interactions or revelations you have in mind begin. I'll post a scorecard here in the morning (I just happened to wake in the middle of my night and thought I'd see if we were back online). I'll also work out when end of phase is in the morning... I'm thinking I might make end of phase seamless - so it ends whenever I get the special's PM's and the party continues finishing with the end of the next day phase... we'll see what I come up with. More later. ~~~ Current Scorecard: Mynx - Samantha of Aldwin Akallabeth - Ciroth of Hendrake Gwaihir - Choseyre of House Aricline Tanuchan - Katelyn of House Minobee - Lost in Shadow and currently unretrievable Venefyxatu - Karen of House Minobee - Missing presumed dead Patrick Durham - Johann of House Wererathe - Carelessly seems to have stumbled into the lair of some chaos beast JDRollins - Denor of House Helgram MeThinksUFoolish - Duke of the house Munich Vahktang - The General of the House of War - Deceased: poisoned in his rooms by persons unknown. Quincunx - Cid of Tarquin - Deceased: A most unfortunate accident with a hunting fire angel Azuran - Sol of House Sepharis Cryptomancer - Sabastian of house Sawall
Tanuchan Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 Cool lynching, Gryphon (Not cool that I was in it, but oh well... ) Question - can I keep posting while trapped in the nightmare? Or did that robed figure actually meant Katelyn is dead?
Gryphon Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Posted April 12, 2006 You can keep posting... you're on a bad trip at the moment and unfortunately it's affecting your ability to move amongst the shadows (alternative realities). Anything bad that Katelyn can imagine will quite possibly come real for her. I'd have sent you on a trip to a nice la-la land... but that'd make it too easy for others to come and get you. This way you're out of the succession until the final decision has been made. Have fun.
Tanuchan Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 I will... if I actually can get the time to post, now that I don't *have* to...
