MagPiesRUs Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 / Day One / Day Two / Day Three / A now-familiar figure was roaming the halls in search of their victim once again. The axe-wielding figure came to the door that his target was behind and readied himself for what was to come... He went to open the door, but it wouldn't open. He pushed harder. The door was heavily reinforced tonight, and try as he might, it wouldn't budge. "Damn! If only my arm was stronger tonight..." the figure sighed. Another figure had less difficulty in finding their target however... Wary the Black (Waterbrick Down) did not hear the footsteps of the figure closing in behind him... Wary heard a whisper from behind him: "our master sends his regards. Die, traitor!" The figure then jerked their sword into Wary's neck. As Wary sunk to the ground in anguish, the shadowy figure escaped into the darkness... As morning came, the einherjar were welcomed with the familiar sight of a dead body in the hall... "My friends, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that Wary the Black was none other than a Neutral, attempting to take matters into his own hands... "The bad news is that after examining Dufa the Godless, it appears he was a Servant of Loki!... No, wait, that's also good news..." "The true bad news is that you still have a lot of work to do if you are to catch all of the Servants of Loki. I mean, the einherjar still have a lot of work to do... Wait... That's still not quite right... That is to say, WE still have a lot of work to do in order to catch all of the vile Servants of Loki! Yes, that's it!" Harald's ramblings were interrupted by a rumbling in the sky. "I will not hurt you or harm you," a thundering voice boomed down over Valhalla, "Just give me the hammer back. It was a good hammer and I like it. You know hard hard it is to find a hammer that you like." The voice continued to echo through the skies of Asgard... "I will not hurt you or harm you. Just give me the hammer back. It was a good hammer and I like it. You know hard hard it is to find a hammer that you like."

Hinckley Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Nice! We're down one Scum and the Serial Killer. Wary the Black, that little Dickens. (Sorry, watching A Christmas Carol) This was a much better night than the last two. With a dead Scum we can start making connections, which ironically is what Wary promised he would provide today if Dufa turned up Scum. Unless Wary was blocked, his target was protected. We won't know for sure until the conclusion, but if I'm right, good job protector. So, Snotra's not the serial killer. Wary killed Gofraid and Mist.
Hinckley Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I wish there were three different weapons and it was clearer who is doing the killing.
CorneliusMurdock Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Awesomesauce. I think there'll be several good leads today as well. Stay tuned, faithful viewers.
CMP Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Anyone seeing the conspicuous lack of a scum kill today? Did Naemr nail one again?
LegoDad Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Excellent news today, about time. Once we're able to regroup and figure out exactly what happened last night, I think we're going to be in good shape to nail down some more scum. Freaking Wary, I went after him Day 2 about his behavior on Day 1 but let it go. Looks like first instincts right again. Glad we were right about Def as well. Patrekr, why again did you feel that Dufa didn't deserve your vote?
Hinckley Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Snorta - normal self but providing no real info or direction, wishwashing on info that is provided, seems more interested in defending attitude than helping us find scum I think it's funny that you keep calling Snotra Snorta. But, what do you think of the investigation result then? And what has he been wishy-washy on? He appears to me to be 100% sure of all of his suspicions which is what I originally found suspicious about him. naemr (if dufa is not) - over and over i've stated my reasons for this, early uncalled for defensiveness and dispearing at key times And now that you know Dufa was Scum, what's the possibility of Naemr also being Scum?
Hinckley Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Wary heard a whisper from behind him: "our master sends his regards. Die, traitor!" Master-servant. Is this the Scum kill then? The backstabber is the Scum killer and the beheader is the vig. Yes?
fhomess Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Hey, now that's progress! So Dufa being scum clears Naemr in my mind. Wary being the SK clears Snotra and whoever the mystery person cleared yesterday was (not Rurik). Mursi is basically cleared now, too, based on his attacks on Dufa. I was a little concerned he might actually be the SK, but that clearly is not the case. The investigator told me about my result yesterday during the day, first like there was someone else who was the investigator, later letting that wall down. The reason that was given to me would probably be a valid reason and I am not going to reveal that in the open, but it could also be a fabrication. I can't think of a reason for that to be done, except if they expected Rurik to possibly die (and they're scum together). However, it'd be an aweful lot of trickery just to trick little old me. Rurik was indeed more suspicious than the person that was investigated, and obviously still is. I assume that you meant yesterday as in Day 2. I presume that Wary was blocked last night and that is why he wasn't able to enter the hall to kill anyone. Naemr, was Wary your target?

Darkdragon Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I think it's funny that you keep calling Snotra Snorta. But, what do you think of the investigation result then? And what has he been wishy-washy on? He appears to me to be 100% sure of all of his suspicions which is what I originally found suspicious about him. I guess I keep twisting those letters around, I have thought it was Snorta this whole time. I don't trust the investigation result, the whole way it was brought up, or how he keeps insisting everyone should trust him. And now that you know Dufa was Scum, what's the possibility of Naemr also being Scum? I'd say it clears him pretty well. Much moreso than a self-proclaimed investigation result at any case.
Rick Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Finally some good news. Like most, I expected the axe killer to be the vig until today. From the account of last night's events, it looks like the SK's target was protected. Looking back at Wary's targets, Gofraid seems like an odd target for an SK, but maybe he expected him to have a role or he agreed with some people's suspicions and was looking to take out a Servant to balance the numbers a bit? Anyone seeing the conspicuous lack of a scum kill today? Did Naemr nail one again? What makes you think the scum kill is the missing one? Given the amount of dead Einherjar, I think it's more likely we lost our vig somewhere along the way than that the scum killer was prevented from killing two nights in a row. Kolgrima, Jarni and even Wary don't look like obvious vig targets to me. I think Dufa's reactions to his lynch suggest we were convicting him for the "wrong" reasons in his eyes. He wasn't the Servant's killer who got blocked. What we effectively caught him for was him acting scummy, especially since the start of day two.
Hinckley Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I'd say it clears him pretty well. Much moreso than a self-proclaimed investigation result at any case. Pretty well? So you think there's still a chance he's Scum? Vote: Dufa the Godless (def) If Naemr is bluffing, it's a certain death for him tomorrow. Dufa is one of your top suspicions, yet you vote with only a warning to Naemr. I was, and then this whole night action thing with Naemr happened. Since he was top of my list, I am wondering if anything I have thought this whole time is correct. I've stated a few suspicions already in the day and even got one OMGUS vote for one, musta hit a nerve there. With no facts and having been wrong at least three times already in as many days, I'm seriously doubting my ability to figure anything out this time. OK, but the suspicions you listed right before the day started match the suspicions you told me in private 4 days ago except Wilhalm has been removed. Why do you no longer suspect him? You weren't willing to list your suspicions then but you're willing to copy in the same suspicions now. Why? I think you're being quiet because you're afraid to slip and give yourself away. It's convenient that you kept your opinion of Dufa to yourself until after he was lynched.
CMP Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I thought the whole reason we caught Dufa yesterday was because he was blocked and one of the kills didn't go through? That kill was the longsword kill, which was also absent today. So...either the blocker or protector prevented that kill from going through (whichever one didn't prevent Wary's kill). If it was the blocker, we have another scum. If it was the protector, it confirms the target they failed to kill. I think Dufa's reactions to his lynch suggest we were convicting him for the "wrong" reasons in his eyes. He wasn't the Servant's killer who got blocked. What we effectively caught him for was him acting scummy, especially since the start of day two. Do you have information pointing to this, or are you really just basing it off his reactions?
WhiteFang Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Yea!!! Finally, we have some good progress!! I am very glad that Wary is dead which mean I am relieved of my main duty. However, something worried me greatly, I am very concerned that and pretty confident that Wary is murdered by the scum, because of this sentence, "our master sends his regards. Die, traitor!", which give me a strong concern that it could belong to 'Servant of Loki' with the direct meaning of Loki being the master. I think this is how it went.
Hinckley Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Do you have information pointing to this, or are you really just basing it off his reactions? I can't answer for Rurik, but I assume it's based off of his reactions. Look at this: Well, this is an unfortunate situation. I have no action, and was not the reason someone didn't die. As Patrekr put together, Jami was likely killed by scum. That places the finger directly at Lefsi and Finn because they knew his night action. At the very least, we should be testing Wilhalm's fishy claim first. As it is, with eight of us dead, it's quite possible a vig has died, and no killer was blocked, nobody was protected. There's a major lack of thought and discussion about this situation, just the typical rush when a bandwagon forms. The town should be at about 9-5 against town right now, it'll be 8-5 tomorrow. With a scum kill, and one or two others, town could lose it tonight. But, it is an unfortunate situation. With Naemr's claim (which is dubious at best, especially his 'results'), this is hanging over my head, and I know that some here wouldn't believe I was town at this point even with an investigation proving it. I've seen it happen before and been on both sides (lyncher and lynchee), and every time it resulted with a lynch, or at the very least, a vig kill. So, the town can't go forward with me around. As I said, I'm vanilla, so it could be worse. I hope the vig chooses wisely tonight and doesn't cost us the game. I'm not going to hold myself all that responsible, since it's been nearly impossible to communicate with some here, and I've been as clear as I could be. I tried to be an active vanilla 110%. So I wish the town good luck. ... You're right, there is no argument when a vanilla gets 'blocked.' No 'evidence' either He suggests the vig is dead and then appeals to the vig to make a good choice at night. He seems frustrated to have been caught for the wrong reasons. I also assume there are four Scum remaining by this quote. Though that could be misleading, 5 Scum and a Serial Killer is reasonable considering the original numbers.
Rick Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I thought the whole reason we caught Dufa yesterday was because he was blocked and one of the kills didn't go through? That kill was the longsword kill, which was also absent today. So...either the blocker or protector prevented that kill from going through (whichever one didn't prevent Wary's kill). If it was the blocker, we have another scum. If it was the protector, it confirms the target they failed to kill. The narrative suggests it was the protector that prevented Wary's kill last night, as it was the target's door that couldn't be opened. Do you have information pointing to this, or are you really just basing it off his reactions? No, I'm sorry I didn't make that clearer. It should be read together with the sentence preceding that (i.e. "I think...").
Palathadric Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Well, I was wrong about Dufa, but not disappointed in the slightest. Patrekr, why again did you feel that Dufa didn't deserve your vote? Because I didn't think it was the scum that was blocked yesterday, and I still don't. I think you all got lucky lynching Dufa, but I'm willing to ride on your luck. Pardon me, I meant I don't think the scum kill was blocked. Perhaps Dufa was blocked from performing another action. And since I forgot to mention it again. Good riddance to Wary. No matter what his allegiance he was clearly a threat. Could the reference to Wary being a traitor, assuming the killer was scum, being linked to the fact that Wary was converted scum in the last game.
Scubacarrot Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I assume that you meant yesterday as in Day 2. No day three. There's a comma in there somewhere.
Scubacarrot Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 So we caught our first scum and a neutral was killed, probably serial killer, I think it's safe to say. This is top. But we're not there yet. I think Dufa played his end pretty well, even trying to incriminate me at one point. There are probably four more scum, at least that would be a logical number. As for who? I think the list of candidates for them is decreasing at a satisfying rate, but at this exact moment, I think it's possible if not likely if Dagstyrr and Baulf are scum. I think there can not be learned a lot from the vote yesterday, it's more than likely that the other scum were told to vote for Dufa asap, because he knew exactly in what kind of pickle he was in. Dufa's post where he's posted is interesting. He brings up his likely scum: Wilhalm, Helga, Naemr and Dagstyrr. Likely one or two of these can be scum. I'd say Wilhalm and Dagstyrr at this point. If not for Dufa, Wilhalm WOULD have been lynched today, but, that doesn't really clear Wilhalm in any way. His claim is perhaps slightly more believable now that Wary's been found out, but it'd be a convenient claim still. If I were to vote now and nothing'd come up, I'd be voting for Dagstyrr.
Captain Nemo Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Yah! One down! It's good to know I was right about Dufa--the lack of a scum kill from my block and his own scummy behavior tipped be off. I'm again happy with the lack of night kills, though as a town we may have been lucky this night. Wary being neutral is good, though I'm almost certain he's not the SK, since he was killed by the SK's short-sword. And as Canute brought up we are missing the scummy longsword, perhaps they failed because of a protection or block--at this current moment I cannot say for certain like I could with Dufa, but I'm getting there. I presume that Wary was blocked last night and that is why he wasn't able to enter the hall to kill anyone. Naemr, was Wary your target? That was not my doing. I didn't block Wary, so he either failed (target protected) or perhaps was scum blocked? (And on the way off chance didn't send in an action). I'll say who I blocked soon, Once I think about what happened last night a bit more, since it may be a good lead again. Pardon me, I meant I don't think the scum kill was blocked. Perhaps Dufa was blocked from performing another action. Well aside from the fact that I didn't block him again, Dufa could not have preformed another action because he was dead before last night.
Hinckley Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Wary being neutral is good, though I'm almost certain he's not the SK, since he was killed by the SK's short-sword. What do you propose Neutral Wary was doing trying to get into that room with that axe? The text describes him as axe-wielding and once again looking for a victim. I think that leaves no doubt he was the Serial Killer.
Rick Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 There are probably four more scum, at least that would be a logical number. As for who? I think the list of candidates for them is decreasing at a satisfying rate, but at this exact moment, I think it's possible if not likely if Dagstyrr and Baulf are scum. I think there can not be learned a lot from the vote yesterday, it's more than likely that the other scum were told to vote for Dufa asap, because he knew exactly in what kind of pickle he was in. For once, I fully agree with you. It's good to know I was right about Dufa--the lack of a scum kill from my block and his own scummy behavior tipped be off. As I said before, I think it's likely you didn't block Dufa from performing a kill and the scum killed Kolgrima, Jarni and Wary. Wary clearly was the axe killer. This leaves Chlodochar as a vig kill and makes it likely we already lost our vig.
Bob Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 It would appear that my feelings about a bandwagon not always being successful were not warranted after all. This is pleasing to me. What is also pleasing is that the serial killer is dead. Good riddance to bad trash.
