hang Nevill

 

[Nevill]

I thought the vote was about eating, not hanging.

Why do you feel the need to insist on my candidature? Where does the bloodthirst come from?

Anyway, if anyone wants my observations again... Doktor Best and Grimgravy are likely to be innocent.

Not a lot can be inferred from the posts of others due to low user activity, but I would keep an eye on Corporate_Jew_Master because of how quick he was to add his vote to eat someone. This behaviour is atypical of innocents, who usually want a rationalization, first.

Viata is unusually low-key during this session. That does not indicate anything in itself, but it is a somewhat sudden change.

 

[Viata]

Because there is no one to accuse. You saw I was innocent at the end of day, my actions being crazy or not was still to accuse people who had any indication of being the killer. As in clues left during the assassination.

Your "eat everyone who isn't a chatterbox" mentality conveniently excludes yourself. It's like if I campaigned to eat anyone who had a chonson shorter than nine inches.

 

[Nevill]

Your "eat everyone who isn't a chatterbox" mentality conveniently excludes yourself.

It has a logical basis, though. What's yours?

"eat everyone who's suspicious"

Well you drew "first blood" by accusing me out of the blue, and people love me you know

But its also suspicious that people are so eager to jump on the bandwagon to kill you off. So i will stick to my plan not to vote for anyone today.

 

[Nevill]

I do that a lot. Accuse people and see how they react. It tends to draw attention and ire.

Not a whole lot of reactions this round though, and if I push my luck any more, I am afraid I'll piss too many people and risk being eaten.

I guess I'll have to be content with filling 2 profiles and see what the next day brings.

Uhm Nevill

While I'm most likely not a killer this round, you are actually one of the prime suspects this time around

A: As the former priest
B: As the guy leading the charge to find out who the killers are. A role you have taken once again.

Anything to say to your defense?

 

[Nevill]

Anything to say to your defense?

Yes.

I am always taking a pro-active role. Being the priest in the last game actually made it harder for me since I got the attention of the killers fast (they tried to use it against me), and got some flak from the innocents.

Why exactly would I step down now, if I didn't do it last game? That's how I play, and I am sticking to it. And you can't deny that whatever you think of my role, I am doing the innocents a favor by providing them with data they could chew on. Without dialogue, what would we even have to go on? Nicknames?

Why should I refuse leading the charge? Finding the killers is what the game is about.

The downside is that sometimes I can charge in the wrong direction, but the reason for this is the very same. Not enough data to come to the right conclusions.

Not sure what being a priest before has to do with being a prime suspect. I got a special role then, so I get a special role now? Not seeing the logic here.

So I said my part. Now you say yours. I am seeing you doing the same thing I do, accusing random people (Jew, Grimgravy, and now me, though it's not official). If you think this is suspicious, what does it make you?

 

[Grimgravy]

Seems we go hungry tonight. Ah Well. Perhaps this will help us ferret out the killers.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

So are we playing this tongue and cheek or are we supposed to be roleplaying? I thought we were just goofing around in this game, but it seems some people are taking it a bit seriously. Reading the rules once more, it looks like we can skip each day instead of killing and eating someone, while a killer (Neville?) takes someone out each night. So normally the game goes one death the first night from the killer, then two the second from killer and hungry crowd, then one again, right? Like 1-2-1-2...etc. In that case the game should be over in four or five days at the most.

DAY 1 IS OVER.
Which of you deserves to become meat, and which deserve to live? It is not easy to decide: after all, the Codexers are mostly united in their depravity. After much squabbling, tentative attempts are made towards carving up Nevill, who in turn is busy trying to carve up Doktor Best. But as night falls, the two are left licking minor wounds - with no food to go with the drink. Had the troupe come tantalisingly close to hanging a killer, only to back away - or had they saved themselves from thinning the number of innocents? Who aroused the attention of the stalker, currently licking his toes in one dank corner of the cave?

But the hunger is starting to become unbearable, and that night, two intrepid Codexers decide to take matters into their own hands....

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

Killers get one kill per night. Refer to OP for rest of rules.
All those with night actions, please get back to me ASAP - within 24 hours at most. Would like to begin Day 2 and have it run over Christmas.

 

[Tigranes]

DAY 2 DAWNS.
The Codexers wake around noon, as is their circadian rhythm from long years of professional basementing. The hunger has gotten significantly intense after the long sleep; everyone is cold, weary, and the threshold for deserves-to-be-made-a-sausage has just gotten a lot lower.

It is thus a rather intoxicating smell that wafts in through the open entrance. A smell which is now faint, but nevertheless unmistakeable: meat. Cooked meat. Not stopping to consider the meaning, the Codexers as one swarm towards the source of the aroma - a few minutes' trek into the desolate Polish woods.

What they find is a rather impressive sight. Somebody had lugged a giant cauldron - big enough to fit a pig - all the way out here, and used it to cook a meal for themselves. The burnt branches beneath show that the stew had gone through a thorough, slow-cooking recipe. Abandoning all reason, the Codexers launch forward as one and start slurping at the now-cold soup. Mr. Pink reaches deep to pluck out a piece of tender meat - oh, it's bigger than he thought -

"Uh, guys?"

The Codexers slurp. hello friend has buried his face in the cauldron.

"GUYS."

Mr. Pink finally gets their attention. And the Codexers, in turn, find themselves staring at a large piece of arm, well braised. Marinated. But definitely human.

"Who.... who is this?"

A quick count follows. Who is missing? Is it one of us? Grimgravy? Nevill? Viata? Doktor Be- wait. Viata? Viata?

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

Search the area.
1. Cauldron.
2. Body.
3. Ground.

Where the victim was cooked. Well made. Zerrikanian craftsmanship. Who could have brought this here?

Search the area.
2. Body.
3. Ground.

Some body parts didn't make it to the stew. Hmmm. Bloated. Wrinkling.

Search the area.
3. Ground.

What's this? A brain. Probably the victim's. And a recipe for... Swallow?

Search the area.
1. I know what happened.

Viata was drowned first, and then cooked. The brain was removed before the cooking.

The killing would have happened during the night. The stew would have taken hours. The perpetrators must still be here.

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

The Codexers are shocked. Who would have thought that the Codex would have such proactive, skillful go-getters? The killers among them have now taken Viata, an innocent - as innocent as a Codexer can be - and they will be back for more the next night.

"So... we should still finish the meal, right?"

 

[Viata]

Thank you for killing me before eating me, guys.

 

[Tigranes]

Edited to include the rather important information that Viata was an innocent.

 

[Grimgravy]

So the killers were patient enough to kill poor Viata before eating him. Who amongst us is that patient? Plus they cooked him. Who has posted in the cooking thread?

 

[Doktor Best]

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

Looks like someone couldnt wait the night!

 

[Mr. Pink]

Yum yum eat em up

 

[Deuce Traveler]

 

[Mr. Pink]

As the resident gourmet, I would know that humans taste better when boiled alive, like lobsters.

So it can't be me.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Right... makes total sense... <takes a few steps away from Mr. Pink>

 

[Nevill]

Swallow, drowners... are we looking at a potato LARPing gone wrong?

 

[Doktor Best]

You know Nevill, you were the first and only one to suggest killing Viata. And now hes dead... hm. You wouldnt put yourself out in the open like that if you were the killer, or maybe you would? Maybe the only chance of you winning this hide and seek game would be to hide out in plain sight? As someone we rule out in advance? As we all know, as you have established over and over, killers are taking a more reserved role. They are on the brink to lurking, just enough to be in the game but not all too active to draw attention to them. We all know youre talkative and active, so it couldnt be you, right?

If i were Tigrane, thats exactly why i would make you the killer. You would make a very interesting murderer, and therefor a very interesting game. You were talkative and active before, we all know that from the last game, so you would still be forced into this role. You couldnt reduce yourself because that would make your behaviour appear unnatural, and therefor suspicious.

The only way you could do this was throwing out some accusations, some names of people you wanted us to believe you would like them dead. That would be Viata, your victim, and me, to blurr the lines and to make it less obvious. People should rule you out, people should think someone wants to see you dead, see the obvious trap laid out for them. The best way to outsmart someone is to make him think he outsmarted you.

You know im not mad that you ate Viata, i am mad that you didnt share with us. Christmas is about sharing, sticking together, so we shall share your flesh. Lets have ourselves a nice christmas roast guys, we earned it.

I ACCUSE YOU, NEVILL (i dont know how the fuck to mention someone on this board)
