Since our fearless seer hasn't given us a target yet, I'm going to vote for Ashteru for the time being, mainly because Ashteru is the only person to vote for Xavius, and it seems like there's always one person who does this and they end up being a Souless. Besides, why vote for a declared seer anyway.
*shrug* Ashteru, wanna just tell us if you're a Souless or not?

We just killed Ashteru, you loser!

Abiella is confirmed soulless. That's five.

Welp, Xavius hasn't let us down yet. Soooo


Sorry boo, but byebye Abiella

Can I vote with animal sounds?

'Baaaah!'

Confirmed seers need to switch their avatars to shephards for the duration of the game.

Abiella

Well...what can I say!

Die, wench!
Err.. I mean, bye, Abiella

Err, yeah, Abiella must die. DIE I tell you! DIE!!

As the sun brightened the sky, the Elders prepared to cast their votes once more. Since this entire incident had started, over half their number had been killed or executed ... and today one more would be eliminated.

"Abiella," stated Xavius. Other voices echoed the name, and Quidgyboo's bleat was taken as an assent.

Abiella just laughed as the Elders turned towards her. "Oh please, don't bother. I can show myself out." Fire flared in her eyes and the shell of her body crisped to ash, leaving a shadowy wraith that rose a bit into the air.

Sekreh and Quidgyboo rushed to the front of the group as if to defend what Elders remained. The Abiella-wraith hissed and swiftly retreated. Just before vanishing from the village, she cried out, "You think this is over? All you've done is won this round, Elders!"

As the wraith passed the boundary, the guardians glanced at each other and nodded once. A shimmering shield sprang out in a bubble around the entire village, to serve as a ward against further invasions. For now, in this area, the Elders had triumphed and were safe.


Fin.

Eliminated: Abiella ... and the current Soulless threat.

Did I have to be a soulless three games in a row? :/

Also, that plan I was talking about really *was* my plan, the soulless just didn't go along with it. Was amusing to see that I would have tricked a few people if they had More than their way did.

We have a weiner!

SEE! I told you I was still an Elder for a third time in a row

It's all Ashteru's fault.

Problem with the Soulless that I sensed this time was lack of communication seemingly both within the group (from the votes I got) and in trying to influence others (from statements or lack thereof on the thread). And then, of course, the Seers also got lucky really early on. With both of those factors, I was fairly sure how it would turn out by around the 2nd day. Clues didn't seem to do much, not that they really needed to, except for my amusement the one time y'all seemed near-ready to vote off a Guardian/Seer.

Convenient timing for me, on the ending, since classes started again just this past Monday so I'm getting busy again.

I disagree. The Soulless killed themselves. Laysus and Annelia teamed up, Laysus told me not to scry her, I scried her anyways, and we put her head up on the chopping block. Annelia offered two victims as a sacrifice, which helped speed up the process. By that point, we were coordinating scries to the point where it wasn't possible for the Soulless to win. If both Laysus and Annelia just played their roles, we might not have gotten as far as we did.

You're right, Person-with-a-hairless-bear-avatar. All worked out after my plan. Everything! ...'xcept the thing with my death, that was a bit...unexpected.
Anyway, I was a bit overcharged, because I was a soulless in my first game, and I don't know that many people and so on.

Was fun, and I really like the ending...

Well, the plan could have worked. If Anneilla only told a few of the soulless, and not all of them, it would have been a viable strategy.

Yeah, we screwed up with communication and such. Oh well, no biggie.

Bwaha, yay Guardians.
