NOTW XL: Return of the Baron (Game Thread)

[TheForestAuro]

((I'm unsure if the unvote matters, but just in case, rhawn bsmith just to make sure my vote is counted correctly))

 

[Skooma Addict]

Do you have anything to backup your claim that Nictel is evil, or is this flavor talk?

I'll unvote you for now, but I'm not sure what I think of you backing down from mythmonster after a case is built on it.

Skooma Addict

Mythmonster was a gut feeling I didn't want to give up on. Stubborn perhaps, but not entirely baseless. I thought he was being too coy throughout this game, but I believe Nictel is the scum we are looking for.

 

[Skooma Addict]

Bsmith needs to die more quickly then Nictel.

 

[Nictel]

After a quick look at the writeups, I don't understand what you mean by "nature kill".

N1: 1 kill
N2: 1 kill
N3: 1 kill
N4: 2 kills
N5: 1 kill

It doesn't look like one kill is missing only on Night 2. If the bad guys are capable of killing two per night, one kill is missing every night except Night 4.

Nictel I'm surprised that you are aware of the writeup kills, and which ones are missing (if true). Also surprised that you are not reacting much to Skooma accusing you of being evil. I think you're scared to.

I can't believe I am the only one who spotted this. It isn't missing kills, well that too but moreover the WAY OF KILLING. Lets look at the updates:

Morning Day 1​

The Mayor was lying in the street, mauled as though by a beast

Spoiler :

The Mayor was Town!!

[/SPOILER]

Seems like a werewolf attack.

And so saying, he slit her throat.

Spoiler :

Sonny/Irma was Town

Different kind of kill, notice the slit of the throat.

A gust of wind came up, knocking over many of the tents, including the RingMaster's, revealing him lying on the ground with a pentagram of blood around him. The crowd stared at his corpse, dumbstruck.

Spoiler :

The Ring Master was a loyal member of theCircus

Wind = nature, remember this.

Morning, Day 2​

They ducked inside and saw her dead in the center of a pentagram of leaves, tied down by vines with her heart cut out. In light of this, it is perhaps understandable that it took them a second to notice that she was hairier than the previous night, much more so, and her face had taken on a lupine cast.

Spoiler :

landlubber was a Werewolf!!

Notice the single kill and how it has to do with nature again? Leaves and vines, plus again a pentagram.

Morning Day 3​

The birds are chirping, but the town is greeted by a brutal site. The man that ambled into town the first day warning of cultists is crucified upon the sharp branches of a tree. His wings, arms and legs are all impaled, and his throat has been slit.

Spoiler :

civplayah was an Angel of the Balance!!!

Again a nature kill, the branches of the tree, but also the slit throat.

Morning Day 4​

He had been bound and then dismembered, or so it appeared, although since all parts of his body were covered in a moss as dark as night already, they couldn't be sure they'd identified each piece correctly. They examined the home carefully, but saw nothing else bizarre.

Spoiler :

atpg was town!!!

Too scared of the shadowy moss to try to reclaim the house, the wheat farmer and the miner consigned it to the torch.

Moss = more nature. No slit throat this time.

Morning, Day 5​

The assistant was lying there as peacefully as ever, except for the sapling sprouting from her chest and the ropes tying her limbs to the tent pegs.

Spoiler :

Zack was a member of the Circus!!

Sapling, really now more nature.

At the same time, a somewhat more "natural" scene was to be found in the Fortune Teller's tent, as her corpse lay there with pieces of flesh ripped away by strong jaws.

Spoiler :

Seon was a member of the Circus!!​

See the hint at 'natural'? This is another wolf kill though there wasn't any night 2 and 3. This is important!

Morning Day 6​

Another morning at the circus, another corpse. Hi-ho the glamorous life. This time, it was the merman, whose tank seemed to have spontaneously developed a large amount of mud and foliage in it. Whether this was before or after his throat was slit, no one was sure.

Again mud and foliage = more nature. Also again the slit throat.

So to conclude:

N0: 3 kills: 1 werewolf, 1 nature, 1 slit throat
N1: 1 kill: 1 nature (werewolf killed)
N2: 1 kill: 1 both Nature and slit throat
N3: 1 kill: 1 nature
N4: 2 kills: 1 nature 1 werewolf
N5: 1 kill: 1 both nature and slit throat.

So to conclude: The werewolf was blocked on night 2 and 3 and possibly night 5 as well. Or the werewolf cannot kill each night. Nature kills each night. The slit throat could be a SK that has bad luck choosing targets or it is perhaps an unblock-able kill by nature.

I say our best bet is to find someone that was blocked night 2 and 3. Rhawn?

 

[mythmonster2]

Oi, Scooma, being a bit washy here with your votes. You've changed votes twice today; two times more than most people do.

 

[Aiolos]

I feel the need to keep my slave alive. unvote vote BSmith.

 

[Renata]

Oi, Scooma, being a bit washy here with your votes. You've changed votes twice today; two times more than most people do. Not voting against you, but just thought I'd point that out.

Er, you just did.

Nictel, as far as I know rhawn was forced to inactivity on night 2 only. I'm going to have to take some more notes though, clearly.

Robbie, you're a jailer, can we chat?

And there's a certain someone throwing rocks I'd like to speak with, also.

 

[SouthernKing]

BSmith seems a little suspicious...he wanted my cheeseburgers.

 

[Nictel]

Ok in that case rhawn for now.

 

[Autolycus]

Evening Day 6​

The afternoon started with a bang, as the magician decided to perform a magic show with the theme of "School Teachers are evil." This show proved to be very popular amongst the town, and applause mounted for the final act, in which the magician, with help from some burly men in the audience would chop their very own school teacher into quarters, not into four pieces, mind you, but into small silvery coins that used to buy a gumball. The innkeeper and the farmer grabbed the teacher and started dragging her towards the stage, but suddenly there was a flash of flight and she began hovering above the ground with glowing eyes. It was then that the miner buried his pick in the back of her head. She let out a gasp, "No, this can't be... My lord..." then fell dead to the ground.

Spoiler :

BSmith was a Demon of Mammon​

Cheered by the shocking and happy climax to the show, the town readily let the animal feeder leave with the trident and gave the rope to the orphan.

Is this a typo?

 

[Autolycus]

Yes, that is a typo. I am always listing the number of players voting, not necessarily the number of votes.

Morning Day 7​

The day was broken by parallel shrieks. In the small tent village that was all that was left of the circus, the magician was dead, or so it was assumed. The tent was bloodied and slashed open, and piercing his pallet was a small and thorny bush.

Spoiler :

Renata was Circus!!!

​

Meanwhile, in the town, or rather just outside of it, the miner lay dead, his corpse savaged by a beast.

Spoiler :

ThAmo was Town!!!

He was clutching a large piece of Ore, and 5 more were found within his shack. It was decided that they would be split into three sets of two and their division voted upon.

Begin Day 7, day ends in 46.5 hours
Vote for the first two pieces of Ore in Purple
Vote for the second two in Red
Vote for the final set in Blue!!​

[Aiolos]

Renata.. :/ a harsh blow. In this matter I must vote Rhawn...

 

[TheForestAuro]

Rhawn, the night was not a kind friend to you.

...and Nictel is a thief. Nictel, care to give me my necklace back?

 

[Optical]

Nictel is a thief? How do you mean?

I have no functioning items (and in fact none at all since the boa ran away), so I'd like to see what the Ore (1) can do.

 

[Camikaze]

I've no idea who to vote for. But I'll go for Nictel just to get something out there.
