Horse Merchant

Strength: 2
Race: Human
Victory condition: Innocent
Personal goal: All the elves must die
Ability: You can make it seem like there is no day, making people forgetting to wake up and as such skipping a day. You can only do this once every 5 days though.
Items: Drum – needed for ability
Gender: Male

You are a horse merchant. The reason you came to this village is simple. There is a girl breeding amazing horses here. She sells some to you and you sell them on to more affluent people. The horses she breeds are good for pretty much anything, some are among the strongest workhorses you can find, while others can race faster than most other animals and yet others are among the best warhorses that can be found. It is unfortunate that you are caught up in these events, but you just have to weather the storm and make the best out of it.
The killings aren’t all unfortunate. There are some people you have nothing to spare for: elves. They are always pretending to be better than humans and they think they know everything. It would be better if they were all dead. Besides they always steal and kill and make life harder for humans. It wouldn’t surprise you if there were some elves that were behind the killings in the village. Even if they aren’t though, odds are they are up to no good. The world would be a much better place if just all the elves in the village got killed. You are sure there are some here.
You don’t have any abilities with helping figuring out who the killers are, but you might be able to speed up the process of exterminating the elves. You’ve picked up some magic over the years. It is middle of the winter, so the day isn’t long to start with, but with the help of your magical drum you will be able to make people stay asleep for longer than they should and as such miss waking up for the day. When they do wake up they will think it is night and just go back to sleep again… This requires you to stay awake 2 full nights and a day so you can’t use it too often (and the day before that as well), you figure you can use it ever 5 days, though you are tired after traveling here so you won’t be able to use it for 2 days at least.
While traveling, you have picked up a thing here or there. You should be stronger than most other people. Hopefully this will help out in some way.

Frozen In Ice · Aug 19, 2009

Yay, an innocent win! But why did that person have to kill Sepuku after all the work I had done to save him. :mad:

Methos · Aug 19, 2009

Excellent game everyone. I wish I had survived to the end though. It's a good thing that Pinman and I never told TFA who the real curer was. That's one secret that never got out!

Renata · Aug 19, 2009

Ah, vengeance is sweet. Even if getting stee lynched *didn't* remove my killer, Pinman. (

, because you did great.

) Yay innocents!

civplayah · Aug 19, 2009

Why, there were no werewolves (besides Nictel and Sepuku)!
By the way, when I said there were two prophets killed, I meant Winston Hughes.
Pinman killed you, Renata?

Sprig · Aug 19, 2009

i had to get 11 people killed to achive my PG - 11 !!!!

I should have told people about kulko being a prophet earlier, though i wasn't sure who to tell or how to go about doing it.

mythmonster2 · Aug 19, 2009

EDIT: Ah, misunderstood.

Pinman · Aug 20, 2009

Innocent Win!

Yah, I knew you were guilty Niklas- Chand had scanned CCRunner. So no intention of switching my vote.

It was an absolutely pleasure working with Methos, Morgan, Sepuku, Chand and Catharsis. (And I guess TFA too

). Congrats to Oyzar for hosting a game with lot of intrigue, its unfortunate so much of it didnt come out.

Anyways, I guess I should write an AAR eh? Oyzar has been bugging me about it from the begining. :lol:

PaulusIII · Aug 20, 2009

Well done innocents!

Shame of my untimely exit; didn't even get to use my ability...

Seon · Aug 20, 2009

Poor Paulus ;_;

This game was crazy as, the most active people I talked to was revealed as bad guys, demons, or outright killed in the first 6 turns. Leadin to a complete insanity when I was talking with pinman.

Niklas · Aug 20, 2009

Ah well. I was screwed the moment I converted TFA, since he seemed to have decided to work against me :run:

. After stee and TFA died, I was just trying to survive as long as possible and kill as many as possible just for the fun of it. I knew I was doomed :sad:

Why do I always trust the bad guys :confused:

@Pinman: Sorry, I should have trusted you more... but my personal goal was pushing me in the other direction :sad:

Thanks for the game Oyzar :goodjob:

Cheers

Actually chand had used his ability on Niklas (only problem was that chand had spent most of his mortal life and then some on magic, while niklas had spent most of his immortal life and then some on magic, so it didn't actually work. His ability wasn't actually ever ment to find the demons. Only reason it worked on stee was because Niklas forgot to send a kill).

And finally I can tell you about what almost happened night 1. There had been loads of problems during the day with sepuku as we all know. Come night, morgan wondered if he could do something more than just curing sepuku. He couldn't get rid of the book, but he could use it up. He got the brilliant idea that if he got sepuku to send a pm to partake in his ritual, he could actually sacrefice him. The target to turn into a demon? Himself. Sure enough sepuku sent a pm back saying that he would do whatever it takes. Sadly TheForestAuro changed his target from Frozen in Ice to Sepuku sometime later that night and Sepuku never got to leave his house to be sacreficed. As Pinman was scanning morgan that night, you might imagine his surprise when he expects Sepuku to be cured, but instead find him ritual sacreficed to summon a demon (and yes morgan would lose his curer ability, which would have let the vampires lose on the world).

TFA never decided to work against you. He was actually happy to be a bad guy. Only problem was that stee ran straigth to pinman and told him some of the info that TFA had told him. Not particulary good for the demons... Though TFA killed himself anyways by failing to send in a target (due to getting injured by the amulet, he would die if he didn't send one). And that is all she wrote for the rest of the demons...

Niklas · Aug 20, 2009

Well, according to Pinman, TFA also ran straight to him saying he had been approached by a demon prince but that the amulet kept him from being converted. Wtf?? :lol:

It was his explanation for what happened that night, since there wasn't any kill. And he said that the amulet saved him from being killed, not converted.

Izipo · Aug 20, 2009

Haha, excellent game Oyzar.
I could have played better, but the Sepuku debacle early in the game stalled me a lot. I didn't know who to turn towards to be converted.
Near the end KingMorgan gave me a glimpse of his book and I thought I finally had a solution, but sadly I didn't convince him to lend it to me.
Then I talked to Nik on MSN and, again, wasn't convincing enough and ended up dead.
Turning out 'non innocent' was a surprise though, but I thought it was extremly funny.

Anyway, congrats to the same old gang : Pinman, Methos and Catharsis.
I wish I could have played better, but I lacked the time.

:goodjob:

Stuck in Pi · Aug 20, 2009

Good job Oyzar. It seems that the game balance got slightly messed up from day one, but still a good game.

Congrats Pinman et al. At least I ended up alive at the end of this one...

Pinman · Aug 20, 2009

Morgan told me Sepuku was going to be sacrificed.

My AAR is coming.

The Night of Blood- A Pinman AAR

My PM:

Spoiler :

Day 1

Before the game started up I had a discussion with Renata about my ideal character. I noted that I was sick and tired of playing evil characters, and of deception in general. This was to be a theme throughout this game in general, as I tried to be as honest as possible.

In any event, my ideal character going into this game was a prophet. This would allow me to be in the thick of the innocent problem solving attempts. Thus you can imagine how ecstatic I was when I got my starting PM and discovered that I was a Night Ability prophet.

Another resolution that I made pre-game was to stay more in the background and in general talk less. In our discussion, Renata wondered if this would indeed be possible for me to accomplish. However, this resolution governed my thinking going into the game, and explains me not contacting everyone I could early on. In general, most of the people I spoke to contacted me, not me them.

My first contact in the game came early on from Frozen in Ice- almost an hour after the PMs went out. He and I were having a discussion about his upcoming NoTW, and the subject of this NoTW came up. We didn’t discuss any of our stats, but I told him a bit about my background, This discussion is significant, because Frozen told me about an incident that occurred one day while he was in the forest. He told me that he suddenly heard a scream, and rushing to its source, found the butcher’s father dead and the butcher wounded after an animal attack. Frozen apparently became aroused after the attack and came to love the butcher. I also asked if the butcher’s father was the mayor, but frozen said that he didn’t think so.

Later on, I was to have my first of many discussions with Sepuku. One of the most interesting points in this discussion was that Sepuku denied being present at the scene when his father died. This discussion was before Winston posted, and I was slightly suspicious that the animals had been werewolves, and Sepuku was one of them. I mentioned these suspicions to oyzar at the time. At this stage, Sepuku claimed to have no ability, but did admit to the existence of his Book of Werewolves. He claimed that his character found the book among his father’s possessions, and from the information inside, believed that his father was killed by werewolves. This contributed to my early suspicion of him. Of course, Winston’s later actions rendered this suspicion irrelevant.

Another early contact that I made was sprig. My in character daughter had a lot to say to me about the subject of the mayor’s killer. He indicated that his objective was to kill the person who killed the mayor. It was his claim at this time that there were outsiders in the village, also known as travelers, and that he believed most of the killers came from this group. He also indicated some concern about his estranged daughter Seon. At this stage I really wasn’t sure what to make of sprig’s allegations- in fact, a part of me wondered if it was all a ploy or a mistake, In any event, when he requested my motivation, I lied to him and informed him that it was to protect mythmonster, the wine merchant. Later on during this day, he was to give me a list of all the outsiders in the village. This influenced some of my initial suspicion towards the outsiders, and affected certain decisions later on.

Sprig also showed me his Hammer, but didnt tell me what it did till later on in the night:

Spoiler :

After these initial points of interest, I returned later to find that Winston had accused Sepuku of being a wolf. Winston informed me that he was sure Sepuku was a wolf, but unsure if that made him evil.

I immediately spoke to Sepuku. He informed me that he had lied to me earlier about not being a werewolf, and essentially proceeded to spill all. He explained that he had assumed that when Frozen and Winston were described in his PM as friends, that meant that they were on the werewolf team with him. This lead to Winston calling out Sepuku in the thread. He also told me that he could convert one person each night and had mentioned to Winston that he wanted to convert me. Later on in the day, I convinced him to give up the Book of Werewolves and received this description:

Spoiler :

This Description lead me to believe that the book would eventually make the owner a werewolf prophet. I dont know how I connected this belief with the fact that Sepuku had it. Of course, I eventually figured out it was a book of lore, that gave me new entrys every day.The existence of the book itself would later lead me to believe that a book of vampires must exist as well, and thus anybody with an item couldn’t be the vampire master.

Hoping to discuss Sepuku, I approached Frozen whose description of an animal attack on Sepuku had now become crystal clear. To my surprise, he noted that KingMorgan claimed to know somebody that could cure Sepuku. I immediately guessed that this person was Morgan himself. Ironically, this was the beginning of a major theme in the game- People lying about the identity of the curer. (Although this was almost always my play)

In any event, I spoke to Morgan with Frozen, and he admitted to being the curer. At this stage, I steadfastly refused to tell either of them about myself, and in turn, Frozen claimed to have an item which he too wouldn’t reveal. Morgan did however show me a Book and gave me some fangled story about it creating holy water. I am ashamed to admit that I totally bought this initial story.

Spoiler :

I also present a theory to Morgan and Frozen about two lone converters, and a single kill team. This was a story I would also give to Methos, in brief discussions that we would have that day. I also suggested to Methos in these brief discussions that it might be better to kill Sepuku the next day, so as to prove or disprove the existence of a cure. At this time, we did not share any information about ourselves.

Having been assured that Sepuku would be healed, I tried to help him and Frozen devise posts that would help sway people to save Sepuku. This included Frozen’s announcement of a cure in the thread. As for myself, I retained my vote against Sepuku until I thought it was safe, and told people who asked me that I wasn’t sure what to think of Sepuku. This was to be my policy for the next few days.

As for the note that created so much trouble, that was created jointly by myself and Morgan- but sent in by me. It was in a style that I hoped would draw attention to certain players, and thus remove attention from Morgan’s support vote for Sepuku. I also hoped that it might add somewhat to the belief that Sepuku was being cured, given the popular perception that he wouldn’t be able to write it himself. I distinctly recall talking to Ekolite and creating a list of players good enough to have written the list. I seem to recall that he was abit ticked off we had saved Sepuku too. I also spoke to Winston, who refused to give me his list. I had a rather sinking feeling that I was on it.

In the Night, Morgan informed me that his book was evil, and could in fact convert one person into a demon if he could get a sacrifice. He told me that he had managed to get Sepuku to agree. With inital attitude was alarmed- and I informed Morgan that I thought it would be extremely unwise to use the book. Eventually, when pressed, I suggested that if the book were to be used, Mythmonster should become a demon, and be lynched or cured the next night. This was in line with Morgan's strategy to use up the book, thereby preventing it from falling into the wrong hands. My initial skeptisism was later muted, and I actually wanted to use it on myself. This only happened after I reached other conclusions about the role of the demons in the game, which I will detail later. I had no idea that Morgan actually used the book on himself.

That night I scanned Morgan, hoping to receive confirmation of the innocence of both Sepuku and Morgan. It was with some surprise that I received this PM in the morning:
