Alessia watched with sadness as the shadow of Leon was dispatched so quickly. What had this world come to, the ghost of a child turning on the living? This was cruel. Poor Leon... How sad for him it must be, to be without a father like that... She wouldn't have got by without either one of her parents. They were too important to her. As soon as she got home she'd write a letter to them telling them about this. They'd be proud of her she knew, for helping someone in trouble out like this. She knew they'd be happy with what she'd have achieved. They had to get Leon out of there though. That was unquestionable. He couldn't be allowed to stay inside Ander like he was. Or whatever he was doing. He wasn't all that sure what was happening. "Do we need to exorcise him again?" Alessia asked. "Or do we need to do something else to stop him forever?" The last question wasn't an easy one. It would be like killing him if they did that, but what were they to do?
Child's Play When they rushed downstairs into the living room, it was immediately obvious something had happened. All the furniture was flipped over upside down and scattered around the room messily for some unknown reason. The entire room was a picture of chaos, apart from the Vase they had used the orb on earlier which had managed to set itself down perfectly untouched by the chaos around it. So, something is definitely active in this house. It's moving quickly too. Then, Caliborn's excellent sense of smell picked up a strange scent. Something that wasn't the familiar floral smell that accompanied the house useful. Smoke. And where there was smoke there was fire. Immediately, Caliborn ran into the kitchen where he found Zarine standing there, the perfect image of shock. The stove was bursting up in flame all by itself somehow, and the woman clearly had nothing to do with it. There was something else in the flames though. He could see it in the shifting fire- The face of a girl. "Everyone! Protect Zarine and kill that ghost! I'll go take care of Elayne!" Caliborn ordered, backing away out the room. He rushed up the stairs to Elayne's room. It was entirely possible that there was more going on in this house. Satoya High School Dale shook his head and sighed disapprovingly. Those girls are going to be the death of me I swear. Sighing audibly and frustratedly, he turned around to the two again. "Enough!" Dale barked. "You can solve your pathetic squabbles back at the Guild! We are on a job! Have you no sense? People need us, for real things and you two are too busy being childish? Perhaps I should leave you here at this school, because evidently you still seem to think you're at it! Now cut the nonsense we've got work to do!" Dale considered their next move for a couple of moments. They had got two leads. The mysterious supply closet and the haunted desk. Someone should always be in this room to deal with anyone else coming forward with a story and then they could investigate that. Meanwhile he could handle himself and head out on patrol around the school just in case he found anything strange going on. It was entirely possible that he could find this strange 'white hand' that they had mentioned appearing around him. it wasn't entirely clear whether these hauntings were local to these areas of the school or if they were general all around the place. A patrol should answer that question. However... How to divide the teams up? He had to keep Beucette away from Lucia and Scarlett that was for sure. Other than that, it was probably fair game. Scarlett and Carmen seemed good, Calxiyn and Lucia would complement each other nicely because of their respectable attitudes and then Beucette and Zwei, because he was sure that Zwei would be safe from her strange behaviour. it seemed directed entirely towards females so a male partner would do her good. It also kept her nicely out of his way. But where to send them? Scarlett and Carmen could go deal with the desk. Zwei and Beucette could go handle the track room and then Calxiyn and Lucia as probably the most sensible people here could stay and keep an eye out. "Alright here's the plan. I'll be dividing you up into pairs. Scarlett and Carmen, you two can work together. You're going to be checking out this desk that Kiyomi mentioned. Zwei, Beucette, I want you to go to the track room and find out what those kids doing their test of honour or whatever it was found. Calxiyn, Lucia, you two can stay here. I need two people I can depend on to be sensible to stay back here and take in any extra information we get and if necessary, follow it up. I'll be out on patrol to keep an eye out for any other strange happenings around here. Understood? It was less of a question and more of a statement and before anyone could even reply, Dale turned neatly on his heel and opened the door. "Good. Everyone get to what I've ordered you to do."
Accepted
Oh, okay. She said to me that she was still voted there, but okay. I assumed she knew where her votes were but apparently not.
Mak, Cal never actually unvoted Cat~. She just said that she would eventually.
Well that was a screw up on our part. Sorry Cat~. In that case... ##Unvote: Cat~ ##Vote: KeyToTruth12
And you're not giving us many reasons to lower you on the read list.
It's safe to say that in the event that we do kill you, Key will be on our radars. At the moment however, for the bigger picture knowing your exact alignment suits us far better sadly. It allows us to look at what you've said in a clearer light. Trigger and Tummer may be worth looking at depending on what your alignment turns out to be (Although I'm getting more convinced that you're town). And yes, the slideshow was very, very helpful. I'm starting to consider who is on the death list for this particular game night and I think that Midnight is probably the one who is going to die. Judge Sunrose was a productive Town Member as is Midnight so far, which would then make her the next logical kill. Considering that we have no Watcher role of any kind there is nothing really to stop the Mafia killing productive players one by one at night. They'll find it far easier to kill productive people at night and less productive people by day with some careful suggestions by my reckoning. I assume that at least, is part of their plan (although it's not what I'm keeping under wraps). It makes sense to me, which would therefore lead me to conclude that the Mafia are hiding in the mid-range to low post rate players. If you think about it on a scale of Productive to Inactive (Or Judge Sunrose to Spike), then neither suits them. A productive Mafia player while they can seize control of the town could also arouse suspicion by being the only super helpful person still alive later. With too low a post rate they become a target for policy lynching which leads me to believe that they are best suited scattered in the mid range. Can someone pull together a post total for me? I know there's one on each page in Cat~'s slideshow. An up to date one would be nice in particular because I don't know if Midnight's is up to speed with current events. If we take a look at the mid rangers in post count then we can examine them, figure out who is suspicious amongst them and then come to a conclusion. It's probably a little early to be considering who is going to die tonight but I just had the idea and I wanted to get it out here in the thread for discussion since we're pretty much set on the lynch for today and we may as well use this spare time we've been blessed with for some useful discussion. I would definitely like the up to date post count that's for sure. Any thoughts on that folks?
I think I unfortunately may have to agree with you there Midnight. Currently, all of my theory is confused by the issue of not knowing whether Cat~ is Mafia. Whichever she turns out to be it's valuable information. It's a shame though because she's been quite useful here.
Just to answer the question you have, I'm keeping it quiet for now just to see if they play it out today. If what I'm thinking comes to pass then we may get an idea of who the Mafia are and if I'm right, I don't want to lose the chance. The idea I have is admittedly a little complex but it's one that I think could work, especially now we have this dead time between now and Friday although the activity in the thread is really not high enough by the looks of things for it to happen. In any case, I'll keep it quiet until Friday and/or when and if I see it working.[DOUBLEPOST=1417022375][/DOUBLEPOST]"seems to restate/agree with other posts most often, though he does thoroughly justify the points he focuses on" If people make a point that I agree with, then I may as well agree and explain why I agree with it and then move on. At least that way people have an understanding of why I do as I do, and in the process of finding out whether I agree I may well come across something that's useful. As for your reads, you and I agree on KeyToTruth at least and you're highlighting him as your best read. To be honest, this makes me a little less suspicious of you because if you are both Mafia, you're playing a pretty risky game by throwing your buddy out there as your highest suspect. Key is now a higher read for me than you are, but my eyes are on you. That all said, curious about Zelda's last minute vote switch. In the event that you are Mafia Cat~, placing them there in the ambiguous yet suspect actually works out quite well. If you put them as town, that would come out as a little suspect and if you put them as Mafia- They're a suspected Mafia of course they're suspect. Hmm... Zelda is another one to watch I'll agree with you there. But then again, why not simply ignore...? This will require some thought. I may just have to put a few potential Mafia combos out there soon, see what people think.
Yeah, Cat~ you need to make it an open document. We can't actually see it at the moment. I do appreciate the effort and I'll look forward to taking a look at it.
Child's Play "I have to agree with Siuan there, I don't see how Elayne could have done it." Caliborn said immediately after Siaun stormed out in a rage. Then Elayne spoke and immediately Caliborn felt something wrong. She referred to herself in... The third person? That was strange, too strange. "Elayne are you alright?" That's when Siuan screamed. Caliborn's head whipped around and his body twisted to race down the stairs. "With me!" He barked, before charging down into the parlour.
Okay, bearing in mind it takes 6 to Hammer, I want a MAXIMUM of one more vote placed. However, it may be prudent to only do that at the end of the day just to avoid the risk of a nasty accident with a sneaky unvoter. When does the day end?[DOUBLEPOST=1416858092][/DOUBLEPOST]Addition: It may also be wise to keep it at four for now just so we don't get any 'accidental' hammers. I wouldn't put it past the Mafia to pull such a move off and a confused townie might well make the same error.
Everyone has made good points on Cat~ that I find myself in agreement with. I'm with you guys on that one. I'm considering KeyToTruth as well as many of you, but I'm thinking about this. Key has already got a vote on Cat. In fact, he's one of the only two people who have actually voted at this stage, the other one being Mish. I'm not getting a Mafia vibe from Mish, I just think he's a fairly aggressive townie in terms of throwing down votes but I do get something weird off Key. His votes have been well... Pretty unfounded for the most part and I'd almost say that it's desperate grasping at straws. To me, it looks like he's trying to gain favour with everyone and promote his "town-ness" by seemingly aggressively seeking out "Mafia" on his "Hunches". He's already admitted to be bad at case building, but the problem is there's seemingly no basis for any of them and there hasn't even been an explanation for what gave him certain impressions anyway. A hunch has to start off from something, even small right? We haven't seen anything at all. Assuming Cat~ is Mafia, I believe it would be safe to say that Key is not. The fact that he's already got a vote on Cat~ is a somewhat risky play in the current environment because people are expressing a lot of doubts on Cat~ so leaving that vote there has the potential to foolishly get his team-mate killed. Now, this could be part of a fairly complex play in order to make him seem innocent, but that feels just far fetched to me. I'd be cautious with voting him at this current time based on that. it could be just that his play style differs from the perhaps conventional means that the majority of us are taking. I would suggest keeping a very careful eye on his votes though. Depending on what way Cat~ flips in the end, I'll deal with Key. I'm just confused by him in a way because there doesn't seem to be any real rhyme or reason to him other than questionable hunches that seem to have dead ended in every case. I think that the only reason that he'll stick with a vote is because of popular opinion. The way I see it, he puts a vote on me at the very start of the day because of a hunch. It seems really weird to me that he doesn't even provide even a post or two of mine to suggest what gave him that impression. This has already been addressed, mentioning that he felt Judge Sunrose (Clearly Town at the time and later proven town by death) was most Mafia. There's one line here that has really got me though. "I'll list my reasons why when I get back from school." Where are those reasons? It's pretty hard to justify a very town person being Mafia and providing Moksha as an offset to Judge is actually beneficial for him if he's Mafia. A way out of the park suggestion with Judge, and a more reasonable, popular one with Moksha who wasn't being very helpful at the time I think we can all agree. If he was Mafia, he'd be well aware of Moksha being Town and by following that popular line of thought, he could easily dispose of a town member and the Judge thing could in theory be passed off as a silly error. Except two errors in the same post? Seems a little too much. There's too much popular opinion being followed which under most circumstances would be fine, but there is a distinct lack of additions on to cases, or even opinions on why he agrees with popular cases. Looking at everyone who has voted, for the most part we have all at least said I agree with X's point before voting but otherwise it just seems blind. If we lynch Cat~ and she turns out to be town, then I'd like to see a case followed up on Key. Even if Cat~ flips Mafia, I'll still be keeping an eye on Key. It's the lack of reasoning on anything, and any reasons are "hunches" which seem to be frankly baseless. Sure, we all have our theories and they turn out wrong sometimes (see me with Hyuge in Mr E's), but still... In reference to the more current issue of Cat~ ##Vote: Cat~ If we're going to go through with the lynch we need to get the vote total on her to be at least Soft Lynch + 1 just in case we get a surprise vote dropout and if it's possible without Hammering her, Soft Lynch + 2 (I don't keep up with the vote maths very well). That will ensure a vote so that even if the two other Mafia drop out (assuming they vote) we will still get a lynch. If they do that, then we'll have a nice idea of who those individuals might be.[DOUBLEPOST=1416853830][/DOUBLEPOST]Note: I also have a theory on the Mafia that I am going to keep under wraps for now. I'll explain at the end of the day or when applicable today.[DOUBLEPOST=1416853945][/DOUBLEPOST]I should also add that I have no idea on a third suspect at the moment, rather I'm focusing on what jumps out to me the most.
You hit the nail on the head there with that deduction. Judge was probably the most productive player we had, and as you said was trying to organise us into a group and get us working. It only seems logical to me that the Mafia would want to cripple us so early on, so now we've got to sort ourselves out. Care to explain? Seems a little out of nowhere. Just had a look back at the thread to check what Judge had said/done yesterday. I don't know how likely it is that he had already come on to the trail of the Mafia, but looking back I found this: Perhaps something to consider there. Now, I'm trying to figure out what his case on Cat~ is here. It's one that I do want to chase up and I'll make another post once I've got it figured out. I also want to highlight something here. Where was @Midnight Star when this was happening? The input would have been useful and I feel like her contributions could be well, more frequent. I think that can be said of a lot of people in this game in that we could do with everyone being a bit more vocal (myself included) but I do think that she in particular could have some sort of improvement in her contributions. I mean, I can't see anything. I asked her and fair enough, she said that she didn't have anything because it was Day One and it's hard to gauge anything from Day One voting/behaviours, but still I feel like she should have said more than she did. I don't like the quiet from her. Also, it would be nice to see more from @Calxiyn. I think we will see a general rise in activity today because it's Day Two so we'll have more to judge and compare, and we've still got to examine Judge's death to see if there is anything at all that we can see that would provide a reason to kill him other than productivity. There may be something there, small and easy to overlook (Like his comment on Cat~/Moksha above).
Alright, then, so be it. You got really unlucky for the joining time there mate XD ##Vote: KeyToTruth
Satoya High School Upon hearing Beucette's outburst Dale turned around to see what was happening, the beginnings of a frown appearing on his face. It only deepened as the sound of unzipping registered in his mind and then, finally as he completed his turn, he was looking thoroughly disapproving. He looked down at her chest. Not bad at all. With that singular registration of the situation at hand, Dale glared at her. "Put those away." Dale said simply, before turning around again. After the students had left and had told their stories, he began to consider what Cal had said. "Interesting thinking Cal. It would make sense that there are people with hidden magical talent in this place, but it does beg the question of why so much chaos is occurring. I think Kiyomi's story of the ghost possessions may have something to do with it. Is it perhaps possible, that in the process of using this Ouiji Board that a rift was opened that would allow these ghosts to come through?"
Sorry to burst your bubble Maru, but the announcer ain't me. Methinks someone is trying to tarnish my amazing reputation by impersonating me and saying stuff that is clearly incorrect and makes them look a bit silly. So... Who are we voting today? It's probably Spike/KeyToTruth, despite the fact that he did consolidate the lynch on Marushi, although at that point it was probably best for any Mafia to try and save face by killing off the person that is a confirmed Maf. I'll start the day's voting by voting for him and if anyone else has any other cases to bring forward, do that and let's get this over with. Also, RIP Mak.
Okay, a few things you need to fix there: AS: Stop, Sonic Blade That's not possible. You start at level 1, so you need to choose appropriate levelled AS. Armor: Pootis.exe Get rid of. Name: Lavernius 'Leviathan' Vourmos If you're going to continue with that name, try to avoid calling yourself Levi. We already have a character of the same name, so you may well want to change it.
"Now then, to explain why we're out here and not in there. The basic premise of the plan is this, we're here to see if by us leaving, we can bait out this ghost which is terrorising the household. And we're going to use our crystal ball here to watch the inside of the house. It's one of the other functions of Cassandra's ball. It allows us to see what is happening in the area in which it was used." Caliborn explained. He placed the ball on the ground and sat down. Thankfully it hadn't rained much around here, so the grass was dry. Inside, a curved, slightly obscure image of the living room could be seen, with the vase they were using to observe in plain view. If anything happened there, they would certainly know about it. "For now... We wait for something to happen. When and if something does, then we'll figure out what to do depending on what happens. If the family are in danger then we're going in. Otherwise, I suggest we observe."
