NOTW XXIII: The War Party. Game Thread.

Morning, Day Eight

For the first time in a week, the delegates awoke refreshed. It had rained hard again, masking any sounds that might have disturbed their rest. But perhaps nothing disturbing had been going on that night. The diplomats gathered in their usual spot, reduced now to a rather motley collection of qualifications: KingMorgan, Renata’s Aide, presided, with Junior Envoy Methos and Clerk oyzar leading their respective delegations. A grumpy Icekommander had been pressed into service as scribe, and in his inelegant but serviceable handwriting was drawing up the terms of the prisoner-exchange agreement as the others looked on.

They had all rather gotten out of the habit of checking each others’ tents in the morning, none of them being eager to be the one to discover the body. But still, as one after another of the surviving delegates appeared out of the mist to join them, it gradually became clear that once again there would be no need, for no one had died.

Optimism was running high as the day began.

It is now day, and posting is open. Nothing of interest was found in reverend oats’ things. Accusations and supports as usual.

I'll still continue my accusation against Diamondeye because he questions my Svartalfar heritage. And I'll cite the fact that you said, "You could be a Ljosalfar after all." It was not an insult, you are still questioning my race. Doesn't that sound like one in the War Party?

The bowman thinks in his head. I don't want to decimate my honor guard further, but it must be done in order to preserve peace

It seems Alkazan himself might have been the only active assassin of the War Party, though his accomplices may simply be laying low.

It's an annual thing some CFCers do every April 1^st. They switch avatars and sigs with another member.

OOC: diamondeye... you had me going, there, for a sec. i was like "Wait, Why is Kael telling us Alazkan was the assassin "

then I realized.

* back to being dead *

(OOC: Glad it was as confusing as I wanted it to! Now, let's get back to lynching people!)

(OOC: Duh, guys, single-vote kills are unfun. Where is the activity?)

The Sheaim representative readjusts the birds'-nest that has appeared in the leafy foliage now decorating his shoulders. The birds do not notice, or care.

perhaps people are just settling down now that things seem to have ground to a halt on the assassin-side... it's hard to motivate yourself to vote people to death without the sense of urgency granted by the ever-present threat of being bumped off at night. not that that threat has gone away - i still think this is a trap to frame (reverend oats and) icekommander.

if accusations are what you crave, i shall renew the previous day's vote for chandrasekhar.

OOC : Yeah sorry about that. Sometimes things crop up in real life that keep you out of these boards... This time it's a good thing, a very good thing even, but I only have the time and energy to log in, do a quick read and try to understand what's going on. It's a shame because the game is really good and I was really looking forward to it, but such is life. In short, I'd like to apologize to Renata and all the players that do an amazing job of the roleplay aspect (Diamondeye, I'm mostly thinking about you) and keep this very interesting and fun to read.

IC :

Emerging out of his tent, the representative, which no one had seen for days, nearly trips on his own feet. His face his pale and sweaty, his air unkempt and his eyes feverish, he seems to have lost a fair weight in the process and thus it's no surprise to anyone that his first words are a long cough which nearly ends in a retch.

How long has it been ? The sun is very bright and hurts my eyes.
Now that I'm better, I can see that there are fewer of us, so I fear I've been out for a long time. But I heard that the killer Alazkan has finally met his maker, and that is something that makes me want to rejoice.

And yet, we still have accusations to cast... It is hard for me, because even if I could faintly hear what you all said publicly while I was sick, I missed much and I fear my vote will be ill-advised. Still, this sickness at least gave time to think and one thing I dislike the most, especially at a peace conference, is blackmail and threats.

Oyzar, you've been known to utter such threats, and you even tried that on me. So you get my vote.

Talking makes me tired, so I will retire to my tent. If someone wishes to talk to me, please let me rest first. Or even better, write me a note, I'll read it and answer it when my head is clearer.

And as soon as he utters this last sentence, he turns back to his tent.
A few minutes later, a loud snore can be heard.

I can vouch for Oyzar's innocence. He's given me pause, yes, but he has ultimately checked out. I know next to nothing about Izipo, however, nor am I aware of his nocturnal activities.

I've spent some time now trying to decipher the contents of this paper and it haven't been easy. There is some info I can say fairly certain is irrelevant, some concerning dead people and some that is hard to use. I would like an explanation from Icekommander however, before I am satisfied. Was it just renata you brought to this island and what are your intentions here?
