Oh, and I so thought we had lost when my attempt to pretend to be a roleblocker failed because of Bau.

So, I wrote up an after-death post, which I will share with you all now.


DAMN YOU, YOU DISGUSTING FILTH OF A DAUGHTER! I knew I should have drowned you when you first cried out, mewling, disgusting baby that you were. We are NOT DEFEATED! THE TAINT STILL FLOWS STRONG and shall consume you, the maggots feasting upon your rotting flesh, your rancid bones. I will be back, I will be BACK! MY GHOST SHALL HAUNT YOU FOR ALL OF ETERNITY! Enjoy your peace now, you wretched beast - mark my words, it shall not last!

You are Captain Vlath Symfale and boy do you love your apricot brandy. Each night after you’ve partaken in your favorite drink, you wander out in a drunken stupor in search of your old friend Lolly Pringle, hoping for a good chat. The best part is, if you find him, you get to have a chat with him every night afterwards too! You win the game when the Taint is eliminated.



First night I posted, right after I came in as a replacement, I'd just gotten back from D&D so I started in with the accent thing. Told Ibby on IM how I was apparently a drunken merian with a brogue or a drawl or something, and she pounced on the idea as a good one to keep me post restricted with because Lolly'd been killed and she'd been thinking of post restricting me anyway. And yes, I did write those posts ... do you know how difficult it is to try and write like that?! blink.gif Took me at least 2-3 times longer to compose posts that way, else I might've made more. And it turned out that the ghostly communications were indeed from Lolly, but just the sharing of suspicions ... if I'm remembering correctly what I was told.

Anyway, count me in for the next game! (Think I already told Ibby that, but just to note it somewhere here as well wink.gif ) Must run to go work on an assignment due in 4 1/2 hrs now fear.gif

tongue.gif I was doing so well at first, and then started screwing up time and again.
Bau2005-10-17 23:39:30
I did good!
Bau2005-10-17 23:40:03
Except the not paying enough attention and letting you bastards lynch my poor Etanru whom I trusted enough to protect!
Eyod2005-10-17 23:46:07
Shorlen, Suhnaye and Bau did amazingly well. excellent game, I wasn't expecting there to be four tainted.

I thought you were shifty from the start, but Shiri kept vouching for you and I trusted his judgement doh.gif .

Hey, I was happy I could at least attempt to communicate what I wanted. Wouldn't've surprised me to have Ibby restrict me ONLY to rambling drunkenly about Lolly. happy.gif
Suhnaye2005-10-17 23:47:55
it was 5 tainted and an SK acctually... And five tainteds was hell to get everyones vote in...
tsaephai2005-10-17 23:48:07
i wonder, might i ask for some advice? would you people have been more likely to believe me if i'd claimed to be Lord Trogak of the Krokani, and either had a skill or the claw of (something)?
Eyod2005-10-17 23:50:01
5 tainted and SK, Ibby you wierdo!

is that biased to the tainted or something?
Suhnaye2005-10-17 23:54:21
Maybe... It would have been better than what you did... What you did made it look like you were just copying something that'd already been completely done...

My Claim was that I was a dwarf named Tarrawen Falgirn who was the Dwarven Ambassador to the King of the Mountains, I'm a lone warrior returning to the various dwarven kingdoms from Hallifax to convey the news to the Dwarven Kings when the Taint is released... I took the northern road to get to Rockholm from Hallifax, and my role allows me to choose one person to protect any night I choose, and once I choose that person I follow them as their personal protector... Making it so I die if they are attacked at night.

I thought it was a decent sounding claim... Not sure if it woulda worked late in the game, but early on it would have I think, also it'd have given me a good reason to not protect someone early on.

Yay for Tainted. I knew Munsia would come to my aide so it was worthwhile giving myself up to cast some confusion. Yay.
Shorlen2005-10-18 00:07:40
Oh! My claim would have been that I was Rudzine, chancellor to the Emperor. Being the chancellor, I had access to the royal records, and the spy network of New Celest. I could scry one person per night, and if I scried them twice, I could discern their role, if they were untainted. I dropped that near the end though, since I saw one last opportunity for us to win...

I was SMART. Shouldn't have made me claim.

You are Princess Marilynth and have vowed to keep your people from the harm of the Taint. Using your abilities as a newly risen Vernal Goddess, you may choose someone to protect each night. Given that your value is so great as the Goddess you are, you may also use your power to protect yourself instead of another. You win the game when the Taint is eliminated.

Well, I am glad the only person I protected was someone on my side smile.gif

And to explain what I meant when I said I wasted all my turns...

-I scried Xenthos at Night 1 and then he got killed dry.gif

-I then protected Bau because I believed her claim (but then she was protecting herself as well making my protection useless dry.gif )

-I scried Branwyn because her votes looked so damn suspicious... all for naught dry.gif

Then I got killed.
