I'm not bad, and you are making me really regret some things I've done in this game.

I'd guess that there cannot be more than 2 baddies left. Who do you guys think they could be? The absent players, like Ishar or untamed?

#3859

Damn it! *sigh* Long live The Horde!

This will not be disclosed.

#3861

I am considering, since we are well into "speed" territory, making the Day periods now last 24 real time hours. Unless there is any objection, that is what I will likely do. Let me know.

#3862

By the way, great posts, Epignosis. Brilliant writing

#3863

I thank you all for your kind words. I haven't responded to each of your compliments, but know that they do make me feel good.

I'm still quite sure that Dom is bad.

Sounds good to me too. Things seem to be going a bit slow right now.

Night 14: Blood River

The party prepared themselves to cross the rickety bridge that hung over the Blood River. They moved over it single file, holding onto the ropes, trying to stabilize it by force of willpower as each step made it turn from side to side.

A massive bat-like creature, red and black, swooped down and plucked Flyin’ High off of the bridge as though she were but a defenseless rodent. Those traveling with her gasped, a couple of them having barely escaped the winged thing’s talons themselves. They watched helplessly as the monster carried her away and then circled back around.

They saw it nosedive into the opposite bank.

Forgetting the unsteadiness of the bridge, they rushed across. The aerial fiend remained motionless on the black, barren earth.

Flyin’ High stood up, wiping the blood from her twin scimitars. “The Horde should know that their shadowy brutes are not the only things with claws.”

There were two missing PMs.
It is now Day 15. You have 24 hours to lynch someone.

#3868

No night kill is what I call good news.

#3869

#3870

Hehehe, nice try baddies.

#3871

So who do you guys think are our baddies? Could it be Dom?

#3872

There's only one Horde Member left, Shadow Weaver. It could well be Dom. There could be as many as three Snake Mountain members left. I'm not sure why everyone seems so sure there is only one. Personally, I think SpaceDaisy was Snake Mountain, which would mean there are two left. Might be AceofSpaces, might be the_untamed, might be Ishar. It's hard to know since no one is really posting anymore.

#3873

Is anyone here? Is anyone going to vote today? The silence is making me a little nervous.

Just voted

Maybe I'll get to unilaterally choose who gets lynched.

That'd be cool.

#3877

So, we know for a fact that we only have one Horde member left, correct? And there could be as many as 3 Snake Mountain members left? I agree that SD was very likely bad, so she must have been Snake Mountain...so 2 Snake Mountain left. I'm thinking Aces or DP might be the final Horde member left, and Dom is a Snake Mountain member. I do think that the final Horde member is someone that is at least showing up....aces/DP.

But of that group, I am most sure that Dom is bad.

I'm pretty sure the final Horde member is not Aces, but Aces could easily be Snake Mountain. In any case, we agree that Aces may well be bad.

#3879

Totally not Snake Mountain or Horde. Is there any reason you think I am bad?

'm going to vote for Dom.

#3880

I suspected you earlier, but it was so long ago I can no longer remember why. I'll have to do a reread. Anyway, I am voting for Dom too.

Nothing you've posted that I can point to, no. It's more of a process of elimination. Of all the remaining players, the only ones I'm unsure of are you and DP. I guess Elohcin could be in that group as well. I'm pretty sure llama, FH, BF, and Kate are civs. It's become apparent that Timmer is the indy. No idea on the untamed or Ishar Morrad Chuain, but I doubt they are horde since the horde tried to kill FH on the previous night.

But today, I will vote Dom as I'm pretty sure about him being baddie.

#3882

Here's my issue with voting Dom, and maybe it's too late to bring this up, but isn't it pretty clear that Skeletor is still alive and up to his nasty tricks? Which means Skeletor is someone who has actively sent in their PMs every night. Also, didn't someone say after the night where we all learned stuff (from picking Lover, Shield, Crown, etc.) that there was only 1 Snake Mountain left? Maybe that was faulty information or I'm remembering it wrong.

I agree that Aces can't be Horde because the Horde tried to kill him early on.

I actually think reywaS might be Snake Mountain. He's been actively posting and I have reason to believe he's not a civvie. I've been so focused on finding Horde members because they were the bane of our existence for so long, but now that we've pretty much crippled them, I think finding the last active Snake Mountain member is the most important. And based on my spreadsheet, I think rey is the best candidate for catching Snake Mountain.

I can't decide on DP, but I don't think he's been checking in enough/been active enough to be Snake Mountain.

I will be voting rey unless people can give a compelling reason not to.

#3883

Woah, I thought the poll ended tonight and literally got my vote in a minute before the poll ended!

#3884

So I literally just got in the minute the poll ended. Fuck my luck.

#3885

I also thought it ended at night... x(

#3886

I agree with you, FH. Of the remaining active posters, reywaS and Aces both strike me as the most likely SM players. And I know that SM has to have at least one active player. I remember people saying SM only has one left, but I see no reason to believe it.

linki: only 4 out of twelve living players bothered to vote. Troubling.

Well, how about you elaborate on what your "reason to believe" that I'm not a civvie, so I can defend myself? I'm not a baddie.

#3890

Just a note to say that the posts are forthcoming. We have to leave to get something notarized.

Well, based on how things have played out at night, I don't see a high likelihood of you being civvie.

Day 15: Snake Mountain

By the fifteenth day, much of the party was exhausted, and very little was said. Even the power of the spell they were under, which compelled them to slay one among them, was feeble for many of them.

Dom had been silent a long time. Whoever he was, he seemed to have abandoned involvement in their plight altogether. This silence and mental desertion incriminated him in the minds of three people who willed themselves toward him.

“Do you have anything to say before we do what we are compelled to do?” asked AceofSpaces.

“Are you with The Horde or Snake Mountain?” asked thellama73.

“Answer us!” shouted reywaS, who backhanded him.

But Dom did not respond. He stared at the horizon as though mentally he were not with them.

“Put a rope around his neck and tie it to that abandoned wagon. Then send him over the cliff.”

The noose went around Dom’s neck and he did not answer it. The other end of the rope was fastened to a large heavy cart that had been carrying sacks of something. It was left on a narrow road that went up a mountainside, upon which they were traveling.

Dom let them take him to the edge, where no railing would prevent his fall.

The wagon groaned but moved little.

Even as he was dying, Dom said nothing. But his skin turned the blue hue of a Gar.

As though in mourning, a heavy wind whipped by and swung Dom’s body east toward Snake Mountain.

Dom has been lynched. He was Sy-Klone.

#3893

Night 15: King Hiss

Having just hanged Sy-Klone, who lifelessly swung in the gale, the party retreated to find shelter from what could only be a storm.

What they ran into was far worse than the weather.

“Do not move, any of you,” hissed a reptilian humanoid with a spear. He wasn’t alone. The party was surrounded. “Come quietly with us and we may let you live.”

It was into Snake Mountain where the slithery warriors led the group. On what could only have been Skeletor’s throne sat an ominous character in green attire. He appeared to be a shriveled but somehow powerful man, and upon standing, he magnified that latter characteristic to a great extent. He held a staff upon which clung a live serpent.

“Who are these that you bring me?” he said in a voice that was barely above a whisper, yet somehow carried itself across the vast throne room.

“Prisoners, King Hiss,” said one of the Snake Men.

King Hiss was silent. He took the time to glare into the face of each one of his captives. Then he spoke again.

“These are not visitors,” he said. “For a true visitor would not know my new...rather, my old whereabouts.” King Hiss smiled with satisfaction at his self-correction. “At best- for them- they are a lost group of people roaming the dark hemisphere, perhaps in search of some objective that has nothing to do with my business. At worst, they are spies for Skeletor, who is seeking to drive me from my rightful place once again. Take them to be tortured. Question them!”

The guards prodded the group toward a passageway littered with decaying limbs and dried bones.

“Let my lieutenants do the dirty work,” King Hiss said. “They have many talents, but they can all extract information in their own way.” King Hiss laughed, having been met with an idea that was pleasing to him. “Let them each choose the one who will take care of them tonight.”

King Hiss grinned a hungry grin. “But if one among refuses to make a selection, then I will personally flay that person with my fangs.”

And then his torso and head metamorphosed into a nest of vipers, eager to bite into the flesh of the prisoners.

It is now Night 15. You have 24 hours to send in your PMs.

#3894

Hahaha we knew he was a civ ages ago hahahahahahahahaahahahahaha we know everything about the bad teams.

#3895

Well the info I got was clearly misleading then.

#3896

Yeah, it didn't make sense to me at this point for Dom to be Snake Mountain since it's clear Skeletor is still rearing his ugly head nightly.

RIP Dom even though you'll likely not log in ever to see this.

I feel even more certain now that rey is Snake Mountain.

#3897

I'm still waiting for some evidence, FH. You have none other than "i feel certain" and "I have reason to believe" and oh yeah "My spreadsheet says.."

Anything else?

#3898

Well, unfortunately you were conveniently turned into a goat during the days where we got the most Snake Mountain hunting done, so using things like thread evidence and voting order aren't as possible here.

How about the fact that you don't appear to have been "skeletored" at any point this game? And that skeletor is clearly someone who is active enough to send in their PMs every night still in a game where we have very few active players still alive.

#3899

So, you are saying that I'm the only person left in the game that hasn't been skeletored? Aces, DP, llama, Elohcin, BF, Kate, Timmer, and yourself have all been skeletored, is that what you are saying? He Man was skeletored, was he not? Wasn't he on that team?

#3900

Sorry I missed the vote

That's a good point FH. Self targeting in this game isn't allowed.
