It's one of the lower ones on the list, I think. All the other scumtells that come to mind just now (lying, trying to cut short scumhunting time, saying shit like "you'll be sorry if you lynch me!") are stronger.

Not sure what you mean by "active lurking", it seems to be one of those things that has multiple contradictory definitions. Or maybe a lot of people are just using it wrong. Either way.

Active lurking is where someone posts a lot of times but never actually does anything when they post.  Basically a ton of pointless posts.  So what do you mean by the scum tell of lying?

[billybobfred]

Active lurking sounds like trying too hard not to be accused of the regular kind. I'd put that above regular lurking.

Lying is lying. Saying things that you know aren't true. Town wants the truth to come out, scum would prefer everyone remain ignorant and/or confused. Simple enough, right?

[Darvi]

Darvi: you seem very focused on 'Bd as a cult leader.' Do you think he could be regular scum?

Read my previous posts again. I do in fact think he is mafia.

[Toaster]

Due to lack of Internet, the day is modextended to 10 AM EST tomorrow. Sorry.

[Think0028]

Darvi: Hrm. Guess I misread your posts.

Otto: You've done nothing since suggesting the shorten. Any contributions you want to make? What's your scumlist?

After a day of arguing, you all decide that the best course of action is inaction.  Separating for the night, everyone retreats to their safe spot.  What will the morning bring?


No one has been lynched!

Night 2 has begun!

Night 2 will last until Thursday 7/28 at 11 AM EST.

As dawn rises of the Tower of the Necromancer, a strange music fills the air.  Ottofar and Kilakan sit on top of a pile of rubble, the two bards playing a haunting melody together. 

Think0028 and Billybobfred walk in.  “Where are the others?” Think asks.

Ottofar just smiles as he plays.  Kilakan laughs.  “Before you two could wake / Their lives we had to take,” he sings.

Billybobfred pulls out his dagger.  “Bastards!  You’ve backstabbed us!”  He charges the pair, but stops in his tracks.  Kilakan laughs again.

“Too late, my friend.  While taking out that money-grubbing merchant Bdthemag and that silly ranger Darvi last night, we found what we needed to give our music true power.  Now dance for us, fools!”

The two innocents begin to dance to the music, unable to control themselves. 

A fell power falls over the Tower of the Necromancer once more.


Game over!  Ottofar and Kilakan have won!

Ottofar and Kikakan

The two of you have always known that music has a magical power of its own.  What you didn’t know is just how powerful it can be.  Working together, you two bards have discovered that music, properly managed, can give power over life itself.  There are many critical components you need to gather before you can attain true power, and most of them should be available at the Tower of the Necromancer.  You joined a party of adventures with the intent of leaving them to die at the hands of the undead.

You didn’t expect that damned ghast to reveal your plan to the rest of the group.

As the arguments begin, you realize the two of you will have to convince everyone else that you’re not trying to betray them for long enough to overpower the survivors.  It won’t be easy.

You can communicate privately via music here:  http://www.quicktopic.com/46/H/GHSNthC3r6J

Ottofar has brought with him a wand to keep things secret and an amulet to keep things safe.

Kilakan brought a scroll that influences the weak-minded and a powerful protection wand.

Ottofar:
Wand of invisibility:  Makes target untargetable by anything else. Can be used on yourself along with an additional item- doing so takes two charges from the wand.
Amulet of preservation:   All your items can't be destroyed by outside sources

Kilakan:
Wand of the Guardian:  You may guard another player.  The first time that player is targetted with a night kill tonight, that kill is prevented.  You and the person who performed the kill die instead.
Scroll of Command:  The target actions you tonight.

You win when it is impossible for you to lose.


Town:

You win when all the anti-town killing or converting roles are eliminated.

Darvi:

You are the ranger of the forest nearby the Tower of the Necromancer.  Though the source of the blight is gone, the undead still befoul the air and upset the beasts of the forest.  You have joined this group to clear out the undead and bring order back to the forest.  You’ll need to survive this ordeal first, however.

An oak dryad gave you a magic wand before you left.

Wand of Slow:  Target's action that night is performed last.


Bdthemag:

As the merchant of a magic goods store, you know the best way to increase your inventory is go out and get the goods yourself.  That’s why you signed up for this adventure.

Sadly, things have gone badly, what with the revelation that someone is working against you.  You hope the wand you brought will help solve this mystery.

Wand of Probing:  Learn what items, if any, the targeted player has.


Max White:

Most rangers like yourself are dedicated to patches of forest, but you have not settled in one yet.  While you wait, you are going from town to town seeing where your skills are needed.  A tower full of undead needs to be cleared out, so you answer the call.

You’ll just have to get through this trial first though.  You brought a wand you found on your last adventure.

Wand of Inspect:  You are informed of the target's alignment. Possible results are Town, Mafia, and Third Party.


Think0028:

Life is tough in your city, so even your merchant business is suffering.  You’ve closed up shop and taken up adventuring as a side business.

This treachery will have to be dealt with, however.  Good thing you brought your last magic wand with you.

Wand of Roleblock:  The target is blocked.


Dariush:

A Thief like you is often the one responsible for dastardly events.  Not this time, however- while you were planning to run off with more than your share of the treasure, you didn’t want to kill anyone.  Looks like there will be death before this is over.

You snagged a magic ring early on in the quest- you hope it’s enough to help you.

Ring of Free Action:  You are immune to all roleblocks.


webadict:

Peace, love, and music- the only things a free bard like yourself needs!  The undead of the tower are harshing the mellow of everyone around, so you want to freak them out.  Finding out that some of the group wants you dead is a real bummer.

A couple of magic items will help you make sure everyone is friends at the end.

Wand of Tracking:  You are informed of any player the target targets tonight.
Scroll of enchant weapon:  Target's kill gain additional 20% chance to ignore kill resistance.  This does not stack with itself.


billybobfred:

Tavern performances don’t pay well enough for you, so you’ve set off on a quest to slay undead and find great treasure.  Someone is out to kill you all, but you’ll live to see it through... right?

You have your lucky amulet, and you found a wand on a corpse on the way.

Wand of Inspect:  You are informed of the target's alignment. Possible results are Town, Mafia, and Third Party.
Amulet of clarity:  You are immune to any action that would change your target.

Scum:

Kilakan finds time to slice open a few zombies.  On the corpse of one, you find a Scroll of the Ninja Looter tucked away.  Interesting find.

Ottofar searches down a dusty hallway that leads to a dead end.  Hearing a noise, he backs against the wall... pushing in a loose brick in the process.  A panel in the wall slides back, revealing a hidden room.  Going in reveals a statue of a young woman.  An inscription at the bottom reads:

    “To my beautiful wife, gone before your time.  Alas, my magic could not save you.  Traveller, sing a dirge for her.”

Compelled by the beauty of the statue, Ottofar grabs his lute and sings a lovely song about the love of a woman who had died.  As he finishes, the statue... seems to smile?  There is a grinding sound, and a tile at the bottom opens, revealing a box with an inscription.  The inscription reads:

    “Thank you for settling my soul.  Take this boon, traveller.”

Inside the box lies an incredibly detailed silver sword- the legendary Grayswandir!  This will be most useful!

Scroll of the Ninja Looter:  You take all the items of the next player who dies.  Due to your thieving intent, you are a miller until this effect triggers.

Grayswandir:  Grants you a kill so strong that the target is killed twice.

Inventory:

kilakan: Wand of the Guardian   Scroll of Command    Scroll of the Ninja Looter

Ottofar:  Wand of invisibility    Amulet of preservation    Grayswandir


Darvi:

You follow a trail of moss in the dungeon to a smashed treasure chest.  It is mostly empty, but down at the bottom is a Scroll of Mail.  Surely there’s something useful to do with this?

Scroll of Mail:  Lets you send an anonymous message to one player.  PM the mod with the message and target.

Inventory:  Wand of slow    Scroll of Mail


Bdthemag:

Not all undead are evil, as it turns out.  You found a ghoul that just wanted to survive.  You helped him along by trading some herbs to him for a Scroll of Insight.

Scroll of Insight:  The next time your target would be changed, it is not changed.

Inventory:  Wand of probing    Scroll of Insight


Max White:

An arrow through the eye socket drops a skeleton warrior that tried to creep up on you.  Going to retrieve your arrow, you notice a Wand of Paralysis lying on the ground.  Good find!

Wand of Paralysis:  Target's action is delayed until the next night.

Inventory:  Wand of Inspect    Wand of Paralysis


Think0028:

Finding no one to trade with, you resort to searching for hidden treasure.  Luck is with you, as you uncover a Scroll of monster detection under a pile of bones.  Hurrah!

Scroll of monster detection:  You are told all players who actioned your target tonight.

Inventory:  Wand of Roleblock    Scroll of monster detection


WUBA:

You find a window with a beautiful view, away from all the fighting.  Why can’t everyone just be friends, man?

You sing a song of love and peace out the window, then return to the main halls before you’re missed.  On the way, you trip over a Scroll of mail.  You can send a message of peace and love with this!

Inventory:  Wand of Tracking    Scroll of enchant weapon    Scroll of Mail


billybobfred:

Today, you use the power of music to bash in a few skeleton skulls with your lute.  After clearing a pack of them, you find an Oracle Scroll in a box.  Interesting.

Oracle Scroll:  At the end of the night, you receive a list of all artifacts that are currently in the game.

Inventory:  Wand of Inspect    Amulet of clarity    Oracle Scroll

Scum:

The two of you set out on your missions of death.

Ottofar sneaks up behind Webadict.  He is focused on something, and therefore distracted.  With a clean swing, his head flies off.  That’s one less problem to worry about.

Kilakan heads off to where Max White is hiding.  Crouching down the hall from him, Kilakan pulls out his lute.  Chanting quietly, he begins to strum up a song of death.  As the refrain ends, a stream of musical energy shoots out at Max.  He is blasted over.  Kilakan steps over to him- with blood rushing out of his ears, he won’t last long.  Kilakan ends it with a stomp to the face.

You both catch some sleep, then head off to the meeting hall.  If this keeps up, it won’t be long until you’re in control.


Darvi:

Focusing mentally on Bdthemag, you zap your wand.  A bolt of thick energy heads out of the wand and vanishes.  He’ll be very slow tonight.


Bdthemag:

You sneak behind some rocks to protect yourself, and prepare use your wand to probe Webadict.  Suddenly, a strange force descends on you, and you feeellll veerrrrrrry sllloooowwww.

Much later, you finally speed back up enough to finish what you were doing.  It appears that Webadict has no items at this time.



Max White:

Heading over to where Webadict is, you peek out from behind a rock and zap your wand at him.   He shines in a green light- he must be Town-aligned!

As you head back to where you plan to sleep the rest of the night, a rushing sound approaches you.  Before you can react, you are blasted off your feet.  Pain pounding from everywhere, you struggle to stand up.  Before you can, a dark figure approaches you and crushes your face with his boot.  You quickly fade away...

You have died.

http://www.quicktopic.com/46/H/nmTVp3SNRuMX


Think:

After you find a secluded spot, you draw your wand.  Picturing Webadict in your mind, you zap the wand... and nearly fall over.  Images flood your mind, but eventually they coalesce into five faces- Bdthemag, billybobfred, Ottofar, Max White, and yourself.  It appears he was a popular guy tonight.


Webadcit:

In your safe spot, you wield your wand, hoping to focus on peace and love.  You zap it while concentrating on Kilakan, and see an image of him heading to visit Max White.  What’s he up to?

As you ponder this, your head is sliced off.  That totally harshed your mellow, dude.

You have died.

http://www.quicktopic.com/46/H/nmTVp3SNRuMX



Billybobfred:

You sneak over to where you think Webadcit is hiding so you can zap your wand at him.  Sure enough, he is hiding there.  You zap your wand at him from where he can’t see you, and he glows green- he must be Town aligned.  Good to know.

You sneak back and get some sleep.

As the two of you poke around for treasure, Ottofar plays a short, but beautiful tune.  Without warning, the God of Music himself steps down from his throne and appears in a flash!

“Mortal, your music has pleased me!  Take this boon as thanks for your wondrous melody!  Be safe!”

He glances at Kilakan.

“Hey, you’re not bad either.  Have this!”

He disappears in a cloud of musical notes.

At Ottofar’s feet are a pair of sleek boots that are vibrating slightly.  You can’t imagine just how fast you could run in those.

Kilakan is now holding a scroll inscribed with runes of warning.  Better be careful with this one...


Boots of Blinding Speed:  Each night you may use two actions, but they have random targets. You are informed who was targeted.

Scroll of Danger:  When you use this item, you have equal chances of getting an uncommon item, a rare item, an artifact, nothing, or dying.

Inventory:

Ottofar:  Wand of invisibility    Amulet of preservation    Grayswandir    Boots of Blinding Speed
Kilakan:  Wand of the Guardian    Scroll of Command    Scroll of the Ninja Looter    Scroll of Danger

You poke around the items that have gathered on the floor, and come across a ring!  Useful!

Ring of Free Action:  You are immune to all roleblocks.

Inventory:  Wand of slow (1)    Scroll of Mail    Ring of Free Action


Bdthemag:

Looking in the basement, you find a tribe of lizardmen whose cave has connected with the catacombs beneath the tower.  You swap some supplies for a “strange stick” they found, which turns out to be a slowing wand.  Not bad.

Wand of slow: Target's action that night is performed last.

Inventory:  Wand of probing (1)    Scroll of Insight    Wand of slow

You don’t find any deals, but you do find a scroll on the corpse of a zombie that jumped you.  It may be helpful!

Inventory:  Wand of Roleblock    Scroll of darkness


billybobfred:

Another day, another set of skeletons with their skulls crushed with a lute.  One of them had a scroll that matches your wand.

Say, where does a skeleton keep a scroll, anyway?  He wasn’t wearing clothes...

A much swingier game than the last one- I get the feeling this gametype doesn't like a 9 player game.

Ottofar became the first and second person to find an artifact.  Getting Grayswandir on N1 let the scum have two kills, making D2 the LYLO that no one knew.  Funnily enough, I thought the game heavily favored the town at start, with two inspect wands available.  N1 they both targeted Web, along with half the rest of the game- in all, five people targeted him that night.

There were no third parties.

[webadict]

And no one used a protection spell on me...

[Toaster]

Well, the only person who had one was Kilakan, and that might have been counterproductive...

[Ottofar]

There were two kills of which neither was claimed by anyone. So yeah.

Also, Max, it is not mindreading if you think I'm scum in every game ever.

[Toaster]

Not massclaiming at "MYLO" was a bad move.  Think knew who all targeted Web, so if Otto had claimed something else, he would have been found out.
