In Progress The Calamitous Chronicle of the Codex Cannibals

It all started so innocently. A group of Codexians, united in their sweaty, brotherly love of the incline, on a weekend retreat to the authentic Polish countryside. Why, it's basically like playing Witcher 3 multiplayer!

But the good times were not to last. The Codexers kept getting distracted on their journey, mostly talking about Grimoire, taking wrong turn after wrong turn. They wandered off the roads, and into the woods.

And there was no compass to bring them back.

Three days have now passed, and the Codexers have settled in a nondescript cave, out of food and out of energy. The situation has become clear: the less monocled amongst them will have to serve as food for the rest. There is no other way.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ROLES
Each night, two killers will nominate a single target to be killed. The victim's plump, Dorito-filled body will sustain their ravenous hunger.

Each day, the Codexers will vote on one person to be turned into communal grub. Votes will be made by bold I ACCUSE X. The Codexers may opt not to kill that day, and starve - but may not do so two days in a row, or they will die.

One of the Codexers is an amateur doctor, having played many rounds of Operation in his youth. He may save one Codexer from murder each night, other than himself.

Another Codexer is a registered stalker, having once received a restraining order on Tim Cain's behalf. His powers allow him to discover the identity of a single Codexer each night.

You should all receive PMs momentarily. Let me know.

As with the previous game, please communicate only using this thread, except obviously for night actions & killer coordination.

It's a good thing I had the foresight to bring a banjo with me.

9 players, huh?

If we miss on the first night, we are left with 7. On the second we are left with 5, and it's a minimum threshold. Miss then and we are done for.

So we have 2 'safe' lynching days ahead of us. Knock yourselves out, Codexers. :salute:

It being kosher or not seems to have little bearing if he the one being eaten.

If doctor is competent, it would earn you one more.

I think we should cook Viata first. He would obscure the righteous lynching process anyway.

Grab the Codex by the pussy Divinity: Original Sin Torment: Tides of Numenera Shadorwun: Hong Kong Pathfinder: Kingmaker Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture
So to narrow down the choices of those I think should be lynched first, let's start off with a softball question. Which Ultima do you think is best, guyz?

Ultima VII has the best exploration, Ultima IV has the best system imo(searching the eight virtue was fun back then) but Ultima VI is best overall.

What kind of timetable this has? When can we expect the first lynching?

Hopefully this will be as entertaining as the last one.:greatjob:

Does Ultima Underworld count? Havent played much of the others, but i do have them in my gog library i swear!

I personally think we should refrain from lynching on the first days guys. I know its all super fun and, but lynching is only fun if its based on hasty and blurry accusations, and not for no reason at all. The foreplay is missing you know...

Also if we dont kill anyone today we also wont lynch any innocent or important player, so we will still have 6 players tomorrow, and therefor we'll have more time to solve the case.

The last round fucked themselves over really bad by killing the detective first, lets not repeat that. Let the special characters do their work, sit around the fire, and watch eachother with growing paranoia. That would by my course of action.

I hope all players get a chance to post in the first day, since it might be somebody's last. Let's tentatively say 11:59pm EST, 21 December (roughly 29 hours from now).
