Moral of the story, don't read Daganevs posts.


What!?

Maybe Rika was right about you...

You know, I agree with those who are pointing out the discrepancy between Lowe's claimed role and the text for his action. It doesn't make any sense that Balizar would make that important a mistake and not correct it, as I'm sure he realizes how misleading something like that would be. I think Lowe is lying to us, and I found him scummy to begin with.

Vote: Archer2

I don't really find Daganev especially scummy at the moment, he's just being Daganev.

Oh, yep., it seems I have a longsword, not an axe. I was paraphrasing heavily because 1) I only reskimmed my role to remind myself and 2)There were several other claims previously that sounded very much like mine, so I spiced it up a little.

And in terms of the difference between my role claim and what we actually saw I was paraphrasing pretty heavily (good thing, as I didn't end up like you-know-who) and also, it was pretty vague about what actually happened when I used my power, I didn't know it had anything to do with a badge. I also assumed it didn't involve other people, since it said I was able to lynch someone on my own.

It's called Lawman's Oath.

Just copy/pasted the three relevant Archer2 posts so you don't have to go looking through all the thread to find them (like I did).

*sigh*

Ok, I didn't want another roleclaim, but my name is Uther. I am a hardened veteran from the empire Tuczonia. I have fougth in alot of battles, along with groups of heroes and agaisnt evil sorcerors. I am really macho. Some of my items are armour, an axe, a nice white horse named Joopz and some gold.

I am a Supreme Combatant: My mastery of the axe is unparalled.

I doubt this is going to end well for me, so I'm just going to do this because he's suspicious and to prove I have no "tentative link" to him.

*Flexing his giant muscles Uther glares at Shiri*
Say goodnight, you scum.
*Uther draws his weapon, leaps onto his horse and rushes at Shiri, axe raised*

LYNCH: Shiri

SIGH

Archer2 convinces the group to lynch Shiri with a flash of his lawman's badge and drawn sword. Hesitantly, the group starts throwing pebbles at Shiri. Small pebbles turn into full-blow rocks. Soon an innocent attempt at making him leave is warped into a full-blow stoning. Shiri, trying to shield himself from the onslaugh of rocks, starts to spew vicious words. Within a matter of moments he's a raging madman, convulsing on the ground as the rocks pummel him. The group pauses for a moment, as if to show mercy on this strange character. Archer2 finds a large-ish rock nearby, almost a boulder, and carries it over to Shiri's head. He looks up, as if to hope the stoning has stopped, only to find a large rock falling before him, obscuring his last few moments of vision.

Ugh. You don't paraphrase to "spice things up," because it will inevitably be used against you. This is even worse than (potentially) being on the side of the fellowship and lying or deliberately omitting information to protect yourself or mislead opponents of the fellowship about your role and abilities.

I didn't do it "just because", I did it so it sounded a little more believable and also so I didn't break any rules. Also, I obviously really did think I had an axe, as seen in my lynch Shiri post.

What rules would you be breaking? As long as you don't directly quote your role from Bali's PM (or quote it and just change the pronouns, poor Rika) you're fine, and you did say that one of your reasons for doing it would be to spice things up.

There is a short-list of suspicious people right now, and you're on it. I believe this is your first game (please correct me if I'm wrong), so I'm really trying hard to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you aren't helping your own case.

Unknown2008-07-20 22:21:57
Haha, no this isn't my first game. I'm really curious how mixing up axe/sword and not even knowing that I had a lawman's badge, assuming that I lynched someone with my muscles (since I'm a vet warrior).

When I say this, I didn't mean I changed it just because. I just made sure it had the elements in my role that made my unique to the other people who were "Supreme Combatants" , etc.

I'm not saying you're not part of the fellowship. The fact that you have a lawman's badge (even though you either didn't know, or didn't mention it) seems to indicate that, at least to me. If it isn't your first game, though, you really ought to know better than to change information in your roleclaim and then say that you just skimmed it to begin with.

So, for the moment, Fos: Archer2.

Daganev and Silvanus are also sketchy in my opinion, but I'm having a hard time deciding which of the three seems worse, right now.
Unknown2008-07-20 22:31:05
Now your role is not making much sense to me. You are a veteran warrior but your skill was called "Lawman's Oath". Maybe you should try and roleclaim with a little less paraphrasing. I really feel like you are not giving us the whole story on the role.

Nope, I gave you everything.

Ahoy-hoy, what's the current vote count?
Arix2008-07-21 05:50:50
Bleh, I'll read it tomorrow, I gotta go try and sleep. Please try to stay alive until then
Amarysse2008-07-21 08:42:51
I'm honestly at a bit of a loss.

Either Archer2 can't tell us more, because he's already said everything that's relevant, or he won't tell us more.

It doesn't help that so few people are talking, and if it's just the same handful of people reiterating the same things over and over, we're not going to get anywhere. We already have a fairly limited list of suspicious people, and narrowing down who seems the most suspicious is almost impossible without more people participating.

We have to choose someone to leave behind.

Currently, Archer2, I'm having a lot of trouble believing you're telling us the whole truth about your identity. Doesn't it seem a bit strange that nothing remotely involving a badge, or an oath, or a profession that involves either of those things would be in the description you gave us? And that you would still insist that you told us everything? The fact that it's a lawman's badge would seem to indicate that you're part of the fellowship, but the inconsistencies in your story are starting to point me to a different conclusion.

I'm going to check the vote count, since Arix asked.

The explanation given was pretty unsatisfactory, mainly because from his phrasing, it sounds like he was making up his role -

Trying to make it seem unique, spicing up, and making it sound more believable all seem very shady. If you're a part of the fellowship, I don't think any of those would be your first priority, except maybe not breaking the roleclaim rules. I'm not convinced.

Vote: Archer2

Oops. A proper one now.

Vote: Archer2
Amarysse2008-07-21 08:55:46
As far as I can tell (and please double-check, if you're not sure! I don't want to cause a ninja-lynch), the votes are:

Archer2: (Shamarah) 1/8
Daganev: (Thul, Archer2, Lorick, Zetsu, Othero) 5/8
Requiem: (Silvanus) 1/8

Ninja'ed by Silferras!

Archer2's now at 2/8 votes (Shamarah and Silferras)

I'm going to take Othero's suggestion and roleclaim again abit clearer this time.

I am Uther, the Battle-Hardened Vet. I come from the human empire of Tuczonia and I'm one of the strongest fighters that ever lived. I've been on countless adventures, fighting evil Orcs and maniac Warlocks. I'm on the quest, so I can retire in a nice small village with some slave gals (O_o). I win with the fellowship.

I am a Supreme Combatant, as in an unparalled fighter and no one dares to get in my way.

And my power is called Lawman's Oath, whereby once in the game I can lynch someone myself and that finishes the day. (THAT'S ALL IT SAYS)

I have sturdy iron armor, a shield, a longsword, a horse named Joopz, a pack and 500 (now 0) gold.
