MNotw VII-The Court of the Momus Game Thread

[Sprig]

The Interior Minister has put on his pointiest pair of shoes (yes he has extras in his case, why do you ask?) and waxed his mustache to a fine sheen. His clothing has suffered somewhat from the past few days, but truly, not much can be done about that.

I believe it is time for me to make my exit. To my fine friends, the best of luck. To my rivals, I wish you boils on your bottoms and taxmen browsing in your files.

Few should have an objection to this, I trust? My death will keep you all alive another day, another day closer to your goals, another day closer to this infernal contest having ended, for all of us.

the madness too much?

 

[Winston Hughes]

Oh, I completely forgot... Those herbs I got the other day are quite useless to me. If anyone else wants them, they should come speak to me as soon as is convenient.

 

[Renata]

the madness too much?

(OOC: a) I'm in a horrible mood today. b) My objective does not require my survival. And while c) Not being around to try to ensure it gets accomplished is probably not the best move, it's nevertheless true that d) removing either Methos or Diamondeye most likely gets us further from the end of the game and not closer, which is not in my interests.

So, I am actually quite serious. Anyone who would prefer the game over in the relatively near term, or whose interests are threatened by either Methos or Diamondeye dying, could do worse than to vote for me instead.)

 

[Sprig]

I honestly dont care and will vote to who ever promised that this great nation will not be distroyed. perhaps than means getting to end game as soon as possible?

 

[Blame]

That is a rather big waggon. Let´s hear from the accursed first before we rip him to shreds...

I quite like the Balseraph bandwagons!

 

[Blame]

Do we have to elect someone for president today?

 

[Winston Hughes]

Nope. We don't ever have to elect anyone, if we don't want to.

 

[choxorn]

I, too, love bandwagons. Diamondeye must die.

 

[BananaLee]

I'll just be a jester then
Diamondeye, though I don't know why

 

[Methos]

I can't recall if I switched or not, so Unvote/Vote: Diamondeye.

Lunch Day 4​

Tensions mounted as the morning progressed, with some advocating the need to unite behind a leader immediately, and most united in calling for the death of the treasurer.
"After all, the only thing that matters is that our finances are green, right?" cried the Jester.
"I always preferred blue finances, myself," replied the slave.
Things seemed to calm down a little as they sat down for a light lunch of watercress sandwiches and monkey fingers. It remained to be seen if that calm would last.

Please include me in your PMs​

 

[Diamondeye]

I'm not that worried. My odds are slim even if I survive. But I'm surprised that so many people find it in their own best interests to lynch me. I'd guess Methos would be quite a lot easier and worth less. Huh, well, you win some and you lose some, right? Let's how this goes.

 

[Winston Hughes]

My odds are slim even if I survive.

Slim? With Methos and BL passing that helmet back and forth between them, and your armour stolen (possibly destroyed), your chances of success are even worse than mine.

But you're right that lynching you makes little sense at this stage. That's just the mob mentality in action, I guess, letting the people who might actually pose a threat hide in the background, safe behind their easily-cooked-up fake VCs.

 

[Sprig]

Fake VC's? you mean like...

"You fools are all going to die, I am actually a launan and I will claim this nation for the overlords. I can not be stopped now!"

Wait, wait, wait thats not it at all. I'm not very good at this.

 

[GenMarshall]

I, too, love bandwagons. Diamondeye must die.

Everyone loves to be in a

, unless they're the victim.

Dinner, Evening 4​

The afternoon was quiet, filled with a mounting dislike of the Treasurer. As they were about to sit down to dinner, the cow let out a loud "Mooooove." The others backed out of the way, as choxorn advanced upon the treasurer. With one kick to the crotch, the cow sent Diamondeye collapsing to the ground. A few kicks to the head, and the treasurer would never again fail to balance a budget. The remaining courtiers sat down to a meal of red wine and cheese, while the cow stepped outside for some grass. After dinner, they went to examine the treasurer's room, but no items of interest were found.

Lynch Count:

Morning, Day 5​

Heartened by the distinct lack of unexpected death, the remaining Balseraphs decide to make rice waffles. After an enjoyable meal, they return to their maneuvering for power.

 

[Methos]

Once again I ask that you vote for me to be elected and since Winston seems to desire to ruin all of us, I say he should be Giggles next play toy.

I'm also curious, does anyone else have a use for the helmet? Just curious.

 

[choxorn]

I might. Tell me the full name of the items Diamondeye needed, and I'll know if I can use any of them. I probably can't, but it's possible.

 

[Methos]

I have no idea what items the DE needed, just that he needed my helm. Winston said he could scan for items and that's how he found mine. I do know that Winston said that DE was looking for two items. One was my helm. I'm just curious if DE is the only one who was seeking my helm, or if someone else needed it for some reason.
