Okay guys, hold on tight. This is gonna be hilarious...

I oppose the public seer vote because the masses are far too easily led astray. They may glean some truth from the results, but how can they use this power to its fullest potential? They will not find the answer within themselves, nor each other. Such a thing must be carefully controlled - entrusted to those with greater knowledge and wisdom. Believe not in yourselves. Instead, believe in me. Follow the path I carve for you. Do not falter. Do not hesitate. Remain strong, for A STILL MORE GLORIOUS DAWN AWAITS!

I feel like it's a reasonable inference, yes.

Tired of waiting for his words she continued, turning and bringing her blade down upon TheRoadVirus Matthew Steinfin's skull. Pushing him off with her foot she stood above the bodies, wiping her blade with the folds of her cloak.

"This lunacy has gone on long enough," she calmly told the shocked student body. "If you cannot ensure that the school will be safe, the Golden Dawn will. Return to your quarters. I will deal with you in time."

Good job Anon...

Invictus

Hm.

Pending a pretty good explanation of what's happening here, The Anonymous. Care to let us in, TA?

Invictus

That's to say, your kills are goldenrod. I normally interpret that to mean kills that are not village-aligned, as Grunt's kills were in green.

kime

But probably not mafia at least

Iron Weasel

TA

Iron Weasel

To elaborate, TA not only used his power to kill two villagers, he also cancelled two debates that had the potential to be hugely beneficial to the village.

This is going badly enough without bloody neutrals picking us off, too.

ObiFett

I think its safe to say that the goldenrod color of the kills is due to them being tied to the debates. It would be a little OP if TA is village and it confirmed him, a bit stupid if it was a mafia power and it outed him, and even more ridiculous if it was a neutral ability because it goes completely contrary to any type of neutral survivability.

What I am saying is that the color of the kills is probably goldenrod as a way of obscuring the alignment of TA.

Invictus

But there have been goldenrod kills on other days, and the one here was described in Latin, similar to the description "Gaudium in Veritate". Similarly, looking at all of the goldenrod kills, they've been described in narration as being associated with gold and the sun, and 'A Still More Glorious Dawn Awaits' is pretty clearly associated with that same thing.

TA's a member of some other faction, associated with the sun. I would like to know the details of that faction.

Ah, I missed that

TA then

Uh, yeah. You don't want to do that with only nine players left. It's a bit unfortunate things ended that way, but at least let me explain what's going on.

As you've seen, there are certain players designated as [Mad]. It's something that is spread by an ability, though I think I've taken care of that in the Madman. My wincon is to take out everyone who's gone mad. Since, as I said, it's spread by an ability, there should be only one more person who's gone mad. I...wouldn't be very impressed if you killed me when I'm this close to leaving anyway.

tl;dr leave me alone, killing me is a waste of time and I'm about to win anyway.

ObiFett

So you win when you kill all the mad players?

Invictus

What other abilities do you have? How did you find Sega?

I don't have to kill them personally. I just have to be alive when no mad players are left.

Iron Weasel

There's only 9 players left because you're a putz.
You can go down with the rest of us, as far as I'm concerned.

This is not playing to our wincon.

We need to vote out mafia, Iron Weasel

The goldenrod kill, which effectively has only killed Sega, and a bonus to arguments about empowering only me. That's the extent of my power set.

Also an Epiphany, which killed, in goldenrod, TRV and Lockeout. So you've killed Sega and two others, and also have an Epiphany. You also know that being 'mad' is spread by an ability.

I understand wanting to try to understate things to save yourself, but man, basically you're begging for your life atm.

So let's try this again, and probably you shouldn't lie this time.

What are your abilities? How did you find SeGa?

EDIT after game-end: pretty sure this post was out of line, too aggressive.

Invictus

For everybody's reference, from the flavor text bit of the OP:

The Golden Dawn:
Though citizens of the world are now privileged enough to know the truths about gods, previous civilizations have had their own heresies. Some occultists have found themselves enchanted by the notion of the sun lords worshipped in the Osiron, and a minor organization has slowly spread throughout Vernland nobility. The Golden Dawn advances their agenda politely, but remain in the shadows.

EDIT: unrelated to anything, that last sentence up there has subj/verb agreement issues. "The Golden Dawn advances...but remain..."

MrTLicious

Looks like TA has some 'splainin' to do?

I don't actually know if that's true.
