NOTW XL: Return of the Baron (Game Thread)

[Autolycus]

Morning Day 10​

The day dawned dark. Few stirred in the once thriving town of River City. Where nine had gone to sleep in the area, only six arose. The first to be found was the Animal Feeder. He lay atop his traditional bet of straw, but it had frosted over, as had he.

Spoiler :

Takhisis was a circusman!!!

He had a side of beef, which would be given to someone that day.

The innkeeper lay all around his inn, parts of his body strewn across the place.

Spoiler :

Kennigit was Town!!!

Finally, the mage lay between the town and the circus camp, a look of terror on his face, blue from lack of oxygen.

Spoiler :

Winston Hughes was Town!!!

The few remaining looked warily at each other, and at the Knife, still lying point first in the ground, then at each other once more.

[Takhisis]

Feck, I'm dead.

 

[choxorn]

Well, great. By my count, we now have 3 innocents, 2 wolves, and 1 cultist remaining. We need to get one of them, now.

I know myself to be innocent. Robbiecon and Southern King seem too lurkery and disinterested to be a scum, although there are sometimes inactive scums. If that's true, though, they're almost certainly one of the two wolves and not the remaining cultist, or they wouldn't be around to send in orders and the kills would drop. BL voted for cpdwane early when the vote was close, so he's unlikely a cultist, and rhawn, but that was probably after he was already pretty much dead, so there's some possibility he's a wolf. Skooma didn't vote for cpdwane, but he did vote for both BSmith and rhawn- both after they were already looking like the very likely lynch candidate. Nictel voted for rhawn twice, and the first time pushed him a bit when he wasn't yet a confirmed wolf, making him look less wolfish, and he also did a lot to get Romanichine killed, making him a very unlikely cult. Had he been Roman's teammate, it shouldn't have been too hard to get someone besides the two of them lynched with the low activity that day. Nictel, despite being Nictel, may very well be the most innocent person remaining.

I conclude that the most likely scenario is that some combination of Skooma, BL, and one of the lurkers are the 3 remaining scums. Based on vote analysis, Skooma is the most likely to be the cultist- which, if true, means we can't lynch him. If the final cultist is lynched, we get 2 wolves and 3 townies remaining, granting the win to the wolves.

Therefore, I must vote BananaLee.

 

[Nictel]

Items to the lovely handsome Nictel.

Circus: 1 Werewolf, 1 cultist
Town: 1 werewolf, 1 cultist, 1 demon, 1 angel

So if there are still 3 killers on the loose, I feel one might be a vigilante but still. The town seems rather over represented. So I feel at least one of the circus is also guilty. I am still alive ergo choxorn is innocent so: BananaLee

 

[BananaLee]

choxorn, how dare you accuse a fellow circusman when it's clearly a problem within the town?

 

[Skooma Addict]

Three kills between four people doesn't make much sense. (2 inactives) I know what I am, and with Nictel being a thief, it is doubtful he killed anyone last night. There's a good chance at least one of the kills came from the deceased leaving two kills between the four active players. Nictel is looking pretty innocent at the moment. I know I'm innocent. Between Choxorn and Bananalee, I don't mind either getting lynched. This is assuming our inactives are truly inactive and not just non-voting/lurking in cowardice.

 

[Skooma Addict]

Also, Nictel can receive the items, being the handsome devil that he is.

Midday Day 10​

The overwhelming consensus that morning seemed to be that the juggler was bad. Even he seemed to be getting brought around to that point of view. In addition, while cleaning out the animal feeder's tent, two more pieces of ore were discovered. They too would have to be distributed.

Accusations
BananaLee: 3 Choxorn, Nictel, BANANALEE
Choxorn:1 Skooma

Knife
Nictel: 2 Nictel, Skooma

Beef
Nictel: 2 Nictel, Skooma

[choxorn]

Nictel can have the Knife and the Beef. He can also have the ore if he's running out of it. If not, can I have it?

 

[BananaLee]

Oh not cool....

 

[Nictel]

Oh not cool....

I love ore! Really I do!

 

[SouthernKing]

I am somehow still alive

End Day 10​

It was a quiet afternoon, except for the shepherd wandering into town and declaring his aliveness. The juggler came into town like a lamb to the slaughter, and the slave picked up his new knife and slit BananaLee's throat.

Spoiler :

BananaLee was Circus!!!

Nictel took the beef and the ore as well, then left for the vacant banana plantation, Choxorn went back to the now otherwise vacant circus, Southern King lay down in the town square for a nap before returning to his flock, and Skooma headed home.

Accusations
BananaLee: 3 Choxorn, Nictel, BANANALEE
Choxorn:1 Skooma

Knife
Nictel: 3 Nictel, Skooma, choxorn

Beef
Nictel: 2 Nictel, Skooma, choxorn

Morning, day 11​

The sun rises, and four people rise with it. The wheat farmer, however, does not. All that remains of him are some knawed bones.

Spoiler :

Skooma was Town!!!

BananaLee had had a piece of ore at the time of his death, so that would be allocated, though somehow it didn't seem all that important at this point.

Vote on the ore in Dark Orange​

 

[Nictel]

So Robbiecon lurkers don't get to win. Also Nictel luves ore.

 

[robbiecon]

I lie, steal, cheat and kill as scum. Lurking, I do not do. Yesterday was the first day I returned home since doing exams, and was busy with LA Noire. Let me jail someone to prove that is what I do.

 

[Nictel]

Yeah. No.

 

[choxorn]

If there are two wolves left, then Nictel cannot be one of them. If he was, then they'd have won right now simply by controlling more than half of the votes due to Nictel's vote-changing items. I can't see how it makes sense to have 4 cultists but not 4 wolves.

I am not a wolf, so therefore, robbiecon and Southern King are the wolves.

 

[Autolycus]

End Day 11​

The consensus was clear. Nictel, as usual would get the ore, and robbiecon had to die. Bracing themselves, the few remaining headed for the jail. There, they found robbiecon sitting in a rocking chair, somewhat mesmerized by the setting sun. Then he turned into a wolf and leapt at them. Fortunately, they were sort of hoping and expecting that, so they were ready and pounced on him and soon he died under the knife.

Spoiler :

robbiecon was a werewolf!!

The three remaining split up once more, hoping desperately that it wasn't too little, too late to save their skins.

Final Morning​

Slowly, cautiously the remaining people came out of their homes and trekked into the ghost town. Each in turn arrived at the square, first the trapeze artist, then the former slave and finally the shepherd. They looked at each other, their faces betraying relief that they were still alive. But something still wasn't quite right. So slowly, they began to circle each other, knowing that when the sun set, at least one of them would never walk again.
