Mac-K Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 My gods...still alive? I can't believe it. I wish I had something to share, that would help in our battle against the Nizam. If only there were some safe way to reveal the identities of any survivors who were blocked! Considering the words of our most benevolent Grand Vizier Shadir, we were unsuccessful in even blocking a Nizam, let alone killing one. I can't see any way that revealing such information would be helpful though, except maybe to our insidious enemies.
Lord Arjay Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Well I'm ready to go over everything for every single possible strand of evidence. I'll start with the description of last night. Across town, Sandy is dancity dancity dancing towards her home, unaware of what is waiting there. "Oh, my poor feet are killing me," she sighs. "It isn't your feet that will kill you," says a voice from the dark as another group of citizens step into view. The two people who were secretly escorting her turn to run off, but professor flitwick trips on a pot and the assassin who was following him takes the opportunity to finish him off with a nearby camel. You don't really want to know how. Meanwhile, the assembled crowd grabs Sandy and tosses her into a nearby furnace where no matter how quickly she dances, she just can't stop the fire. As the mob disperses, The Legonater remembers an errand he needs to run and goes off on his own, unaware of the trap ahead. As he steps on a pile of palm fronds, he falls into a spiked pit and dies a horrendous death. Big Cam chuckles from above then leaves, only to find his own fate lying in wait around the next corner as a pair of street thugs grab him. "Big man in town, eh? Not for long." After gagging him, they use their swords to cut him into 142 pieces, which they then toss in various fires and plants and vases and pots and cauldrons and pretty much anywhere they'll fit. "Now you're a little man all over town," they chuckle. "That was so much fun," thought Burman, "I hope he was Nizam. Oh well, no matter." As he entered his house, he didn't notice the person standing behind the door, but he did notice the rope they strangled him with. "I hope he was Nizam," the killer thought, "Oh well, no matter." He quickly departed. Badboythe88, beautiful as ever, is still standing in the market looking for a camel to rent to get the hell out of Persia. "This would never happen anywhere else!" she proclaims angrily. "Beautiful women aren't supposed to have problems!" Her problems were about to end. "A camel," her killer mutters, "I'll give her a camel." He quickly opens a nearby gate, releasing Abdul the Mad Camel of Persia, the one camel in the world with a psychopathic hatred of blonde women. Galloping towards badboytje88, he can only think of how much he's going to enjoy this, and she can only think of the nail she broke earlier. The two thoughts merge into one as he breaks all of her nails, and 82% of the bones in her body, leaving a blonde and bloody mess in the market square. Small skirmishes break out across town, equally numbered mobs facing off and retreating in stalemate. Pots are broken, fires started and put out, carts toppled, monkeys molested, ostriches ostracized, camel dung thrown, and for the most part, a lot of hiding in the shadows and missing targets. Still more citizens prepared to leave their homes to perform their duty, but found themselves locked in. 16 of them, to be exact. Others went to find their targets, only to find them already dead. Notice the common facter? It's obvious. The camels are out to get us. Vote: Camel Or someone to do with camels. I know it is not very good but it's the best we have got so far.
pedro Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I shall nap now, near my friends, so I can remain wide awake later on this evening. I do miss the screams of CallMeFried though. I could easily drift into a deep sleep listening to those cries. Haha! You've had the privelege of experiencing pre-emptive revenge! When you wrote that down, did it ever cross your mind that the Nizam will cover each other and name their Nizam companion(s) as the ones NOT to attack... And this is a problem we all face: the Nizam know who each other are, and with organisation will always guard each other. V Redwater wakes up."I...............I..........I survived." "I thought I would never make it! " Looks around "I better help clean up this place." While you remove those carcasses, hw about about a beautiful song about lovely Persian maidens... or something...? Do we have any other options of revealing the Nizam by day? A wouldn't that be just so convienient? So helpful? If only life were so... strum, strum, strum...
Walter Kovacs Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Well said. I remember Grand Vizier Shadir the One Eyed talking about people almost getting killed if it weren't for 1 or 2 protectors to prevent that from happening. The Nizam are probably covering each other well since they seem to know that they are Nizam. It could be that they protect their weakest link or biggest target so he/she will stay alive.Also, we are still kept in the dark about the number of Nizam around. All together, there were 52 players. With 18 people killed, 34 of them are left. How many of them are Nizam? It could be 2, maybe 3, perhaps 4 or 5, but also there could be a strong alliance of say 8 - 10 players although that is highly unlikely since we did not even kill 1 during the first night. I agree their number must be small... Or our attacks were too unfocused: if no two people attacked the same Nizam, then he/she was probably protected and repelled the attack.So keep in mind who you tried to block last night, for they are not Nizam! I have certainly removed a suspect from my list. I would name him, but would you believe me? Let's think a moment about how the Nizam are likely operating. They aren't any more well protected than you or I: each still can only protect one person. So either the Nizam are putting one person out there as bait, and everyone throws their protection towards that person, or they are each protecting a different member, in a sort of ring. E.g. Nizam 1 protects Nizam 2, 2 protects 3, 3 protects 4 and 4 protects 1. If the latter is the case, then we only need two non-Nazim to take out one of their members. Assuming of course that one of us good guys aren't stupid enough to protect one of their numbers. Now for their attacks. We started out with 52 citizens. If there are only 6 or so Nizam (a reasonable guess), then it would take them at most 46 nights to take out the rest of the group if they all focused on one target, maximum. That timetable seems a bit long, even considering that we will be doing their job by mistake. So it makes sense that they are likely splitting their attacks, and trying to cast aspersions on certain individuals to help them in their cause. That way, they get to maximise the dead on any given night. I think we are looking for those that are taking a low profile, perhaps individuals that are trying to make others look guilty. It won't be easy to ferret tese individuals out, but I think it can be done if you read between the lines. as I think about what I just said, I realize I painted a big huge target on my back. It's been nice knowing all of you. Best of luck against the Nizam. Would someone please qualify this as a jihad against the Nizam, so that thoughts of those virgins waiting for me in heaven can give me peace through this long day and night?
Fugazi Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Notice the common facter? It's obvious. The camels are out to get us. Vote: Camel Hehe funny, I hope my camels aren't conspiring against me at the moment! I'm curious as to who might have killed Burman? It would appear that his killer wasn't a Nizam, as he didn't know Burman was innocent: "That was so much fun," thought Burman, "I hope he was Nizam. Oh well, no matter." As he entered his house, he didn't notice the person standing behind the door, but he did notice the rope they strangled him with. "I hope he was Nizam," the killer thought, "Oh well, no matter." He quickly departed. Killing Burman was an awful mistake, but I'm sure we would be grateful if the killer were to come forward and admit his crime? After all, this might clear him/her of being a Nizam. Let's think a moment about how the Nizam are likely operating. They aren't any more well protected than you or I: each still can only protect one person. So either the Nizam are putting one person out there as bait, and everyone throws their protection towards that person, or they are each protecting a different member, in a sort of ring. E.g. Nizam 1 protects Nizam 2, 2 protects 3, 3 protects 4 and 4 protects 1. If the latter is the case, then we only need two non-Nazim to take out one of their members. Assuming of course that one of us good guys aren't stupid enough to protect one of their numbers. So it makes sense that they are likely splitting their attacks, and trying to cast aspersions on certain individuals to help them in their cause. That way, they get to maximise the dead on any given night. All true. We need to cooperate and strike at targets with the strength of two or three (for one of us might die before he gets a chance to strike). And if the Nizam are about 6, then they probably can't kill more than 3 of us every night, since they too need to strike in groups (assuming each of us is protected).
The Crazy One Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Hmm....I just picled up a lot of evidence from last night. There is trickery going on here.
General Redwater Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 While you remove those carcasses, hw about about a beautiful song about lovely Persian maidens... or something...? I would love to hear a song to keep my mind off of the horrible stench!
Fugazi Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Hmm....I just picled up a lot of evidence from last night. There is trickery going on here. What do you mean?
Ricecracker Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Holy bejeezus! A lot happened last night! Thankfully, I only have a small cut on my arm. Now let's actually try to rid ourselves of the Nizam
RileyC Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Wow 18 deaths? Its a bit over the top in my opinion. So no ones seen my camel?
Lord Arjay Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Holy bejeezus! A lot happened last night! Thankfully, I only have a small cut on my arm. Now let's actually try to rid ourselves of the Nizam At least from that scratch, we have learned that you are likely to be innocent.
Dannylonglegs Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Holy camel patties! What happened here!? You Peasants sure throw some crazy parties! But If you're the peasants, then who cleans up the mess? Well anyways, There seem to be less of you now then there were yesterday. I see that the offensive party (and not the good kind of party, I'm talking about Rougecoat) is still around. hmf if any of you peasants were going to leave (and never come back) I'd of hoped it would be you! But I didn't do anything to that end, so I guess no one decided to right his wrong for me, so I guess I must do so myself. *steps off of shaded couch* I challege you to a duel!!! I choose my right hand guard to fight you. *sits back down and begins to eat a grape cluster* ~Persian Aristocrat
Eskallon Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 wow only 18 deaths, I expected more from last night. Anyway I have no evidence to add and my body wants some rest so I will talk more in the night.

"Let us drink to the death of the Nizam!" He gladly pronounces. Edited May 12, 2010 by General Redwater
Peppermint_M Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 What Chaos, I see the gentleman who had been issuing threats has had a comeuppance, even if it seems he was innocent all along. Tis a pity.
Dannylonglegs Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 (*to himself* I'm so glad I bring a golden goblet with me everywhere I go ) To the long death of the Nizam, and the continuous service of the peasants! *drinks* And to never ever planning a revolution *pours himself another glass and drinks* You're right, tis ish good shtuf! *hands Redwater a few coins and reclines on his couch* ~Persian Aristocrat
brickme Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 *Alan talks with one of the guards* *The guard goes up to Persian Danny and takes his wine away* Guard: I think you had enough to drink good sir. Alan walks a little bit not realizing where he is going and runs into a wall. (what a klutz) Anyway if anybody you know wants to have a nice little talk about these killings or wants to hire me I'll set a bowl of potatoes out.
General Redwater Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 You're right, tis ish good shtuf! *hands Redwater a few coins and reclines on his couch*~Persian Aristocrat V. Redwater takes the coins, he stands up, cleans his shirt, pours himself one last glass of wine, and walks out of the building. He turns to get his camel, and realizes it`s not there! "NIZAM", "I shall get revenge!" He shouts.
Bob Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 When will this day conclude? I wish to kill people now. I never thought I could get so much pleasure out of causing a bloodbath.
Sir Dillon Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 When will this day conclude? I wish to kill people now. I never thought I could get so much pleasure out of causing a bloodbath. Each day lasts 24 hours. I'm guessing if everyone sent in their actions before then the day would end early though.
General Redwater Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) I never thought I could get so much pleasure out of causing a bloodbath. You get pleasure from causing 18 innocent people to be dead? I`m disgusted! Edited May 12, 2010 by General Redwater
Dannylonglegs Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 You get pleasure from causing 18 innocent people to be dead? I`m disgusted! I think he's just sadistic. Just like the Vizier. ~Persian Aristocrat
Shadows Posted May 13, 2010 Author Posted May 13, 2010 But but Grand Vizier! You keep saying that those who do not participate will have amusing deaths, but they weren't very amusing at all. The Grand Vizier will take that into consideration. He was a little tired after summarizing the previous 15 deaths. I think he's just sadistic. Just like the Vizier. I have done nothing but ask my people to defend their country. I would have expected an aristocrat to understand that. I one-eye you suspiciously now.
