The Rules (stolen from somewhere):

• Votes must be in bold. If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted.
• Please be attentive and unvote, if necessary, before casting a new vote. Your vote will not be changed unless you unvote first.
• Executions will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, his pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. You may vote: no lynch – majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without a death.
• The game is not to be discussed outside of the thread unless your role specifically states that you may do so.
• Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead. Stop typing.
• Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts
• Don’t quote any private correspondence, including emails, from me.
• If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. I will not wait for you – if you do not submit a choice to me, tough! No choice will be made.
• If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
• Remember, it’s a game. It’s supposed to played. It’s supposed to be fun. Do your part.

ADDITION OF NEW RULE:
• Don't pester the mod into revealing information that may or may not be general knowledge. Any emails that ask for game mechanics information will be ignored.

Use common sense and all will be revealed once the game is over.

Since we can’t lock threads in heaven, please refrain from posting during game nights. I know it can be done as I followed ConLao’s game where everyone obeyed the rules

Reck & I can lock threads if you think it's necessary (this doesn't count as talking at night - it's answering a point in the header post )

We'll see how it goes without locking threads, Gill, but I may take you up on the offer later

Apologies to everyone for posting during Night, but this is mildly important

I will be away (and almost certainly without internet access) for the whole of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and also for part of Monday. Assuming I'm still alive, I'll do my best catch up when I get back.

Sorry 'bout that

Alan

WESTLEY: This will all soon be but a happy memory because Roberts' ship "Revenge" is anchored at the far end. And I, as you know, am Roberts.
BUTTERCUP: But how is that possible, since he's been marauding twenty years and you only left me five years ago?
WESTLEY: I myself am often surprised at life's little quirks. You see, what I told you before about saying "please" was true. It intrigued Roberts, as did my descriptions of your beauty. Finally, Roberts decided something. He said, "All right, Westley, I've never had a valet. You can try it for tonight. I'll most likely kill you in the morning." Three years he said that. "Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning." It was a fine time for me. I was learning to fence, to fight, anything anyone would teach me. And Roberts and I eventually became friends. And then it happened.

WESTLEY: Well, Roberts had grown so rich, he wanted to retire. So he took me to his cabin and told me his secret. "I am not the Dread Pirate Roberts," he said. "My name is Ryan. I inherited this ship from the previous Dread Pirate Roberts, just as you will inherit it from me. The man I inherited it from was not the real Dread Pirate Roberts, either. His name was Cummerbund. The real Roberts has been retired fifteen years and living like a king in Patagonia." Then he explained the name was the important thing for inspiring the necessary fear. You see, no one would surrender to the Dread Pirate Westley.

-----

Well, the Dread Pirate Ryan, also known as the Dread Pirate DarthBane, decided that the good life was too good for him and came out of retirement. He wanted to scare people into revealing some secrets and perhaps find out whose interest they had in mind. Since Westley had left the Revenge anchored, Ryan had a place to go. Sadly, the Dread Pirate Ryan did not get far as he was cornered by some folk who would rather see war with Guilder than a happy Florin.

DarthBane – Dread Pirate Ryan (No not Westley) has been killed and Guilder has been framed for the murder.

In other news, it looks like Angel Reckless Rodent has a nasty bite on his leg. He can walk, but it does hurt.

With 11 people alive, it will take 6 votes to lynch.

Away: Caesar Alan until Monday

I'll have irregular access until Tuesday morning, but I'll try to stop in at least a couple of times between now and then.

Now start playing.

OK - I'm seeing that the Dread Pirate is gone At least it wasn't Westley.

What confuses me is the 'framing' of Guilder... That sounds like something Prince Humperdinck would do. In which case that is our 'scum-kill' for the night. Assuming the scum group is a set of three (standard), with no other kill last night, I'm thinking we got lucky with a protection last night and a possible SK (or 2nd scum group) was stopped.

Definately OK, Considering all the facts.

Random Vote: GillB

vote conlao who will always and ever be my first day vote

*Jumps on bandwagon*

Not So Random Vote: ConLao

Just finished reading the entire script. Wow, that was not what I expected it to be like

Framing Guilder definately sounds Humperdinckish, considering how that was the whole point of plotting to kill Buttercup. So if he's "mafia", maybe it's with Yellin and Rugen ?

It sounds to me like Darth was a cop, since he was trying to find out which side people were on.

And what in the world bites ? The shrieking eels?

Random VOTE: Ovidius. Speaking of which, Adder, why is voting for CL not random ?

CK

Well it's the first day. We ought to rid ourselves of someone and unless someone has something really important to say I figure I might as well jump on a bandwagon and vote for someone who's already been voted for.

Quoted from ConLao:

Perhaps you can explain to me?

Vote Adder the Second

Care to explain why your vote was not random???

Poor Darth, he didn't even get to post! And from what people have said and Jag's story, it seems we may already be on the back foot having lost him.

[displays ignorance of the story]
CK, would the "shrieking eels" be candidates for SK or something?
[/displays ignorance of the story]

Anyway, random VOTE: GC.

I must confess I know nothing about the story... but we will be taking the DVD out this weekend, hopefully. So please bear with my present cluelessness.

Sorry for the double post.

ARR, Adder did explain his 'non-random' vote in post #11:

Quoted from Adder:

Quote:

Stuck in a rut already, I note

Quoted from Ovidius:

Oops...so he did. Colour me stupid.

Oh well, I'm leaving it there for the moment.

I'll read that movie script this weekend, then I'll be able to follow this a bit better.

For now: Vote Merepatra

Just my way of saying: welcome!
