You still have yet to convince me you are something more then a Lucavi.
To those who would vote for me under the false suspicion that I am the Lucavi..well, we shall see what happens when our time is up. I have made my case. I have not changed my story multiple times, or "regained" my senses. I have stood by my claims and will continue to do so until the bitter end."

Then you shall die a liar.
"Your insults fall upon deaf ears.
Alas, I won't be here to witness what the fates have in store with us. I have to deal with a certain Pirate problem tonight."
Please, give strength to the Goltana forces, so that the Goltana banner may fly proudly in the wind. Give them guidance to find their enemies. Give them the will to carry out what must be done. For Lord Goltana's victory...
*smiles and draws her sword as she rushes Shamus* Die, traitor, in the name of Lord Goltana!!!
Well, it's been a pleasure, but I'm not too expectant of my chances to live yet another night.
But fear not! For there is another confirmed Goltana that will step up and he has my implicit trust. If I shall fall tonight, you will all be witness to my proof as a loyal Goltana noble. Combined with my post-humous validation, the oracle through me exposing a foul Zodiac Brave, and my vouching for another Goltana, hopefully you will be satisified. Please, fellow Goltana loyalists, work with my successor. You should expect Lignisse to step up and fill this role, my work here is done.
Heh, I thought you were going to wait until vote close to name me, Infidel, but it's all good. Welcome, Goltana loyalists! It will take me a bit after narration to figure out what's happened and sort out seer results, but we shall march to Goltana victory; this I promise!

I made the assumption that Infidel was a traitor, because of Shamus' comment, and that sent me down the wrong path which I couldn't recover from.
The major problem was that the Oracle never trusted me, Infidel never denied Shamus' comment, and no one ever contacted me. I hope the Oracle makes it through the night.
B:L still not changing her story? Hmm. That's unfortunate. Well, not much to do now but wait for the narration and seer results. Apologies in advance if your unbelievable and convoluted story turned out to be true, B:L.

Apologies for your lack of will to unwind the story, see all the clues and facts, and figure out the truth, instead trusting in an obvious fake knight such as Shamus.
An interesting narration, here. Members of the dead thread contributed sections of it.

Friday, October 5th: To Kill a Chocobo
As the nobles gathered in the Great Hall to discuss the events of the past few days, tempers were running hot. The murders had continued unabated, and the yet-to-be-settled question of the succession loomed larger each day. "My life for Prince Goltana!" shouted Shamus as he shot to his feet. "You're even more of a fool than the prince you claim to follow, Shamus," retorted cj iwakura. "You're nothing more than a devil in knight's armor."
The argument was cut short by the clanging of steel plate as B:L suddenly leaped atop the table. "Listen, friends! I am Prince Larg's Holy Knight! Place your trust in me and together we will root out the demons among us!" Silence reigned for a moment, and then Infidel spoke. "Milady, have you taken leave of your senses?" "Yes... I mean no!" she exclaimed. Her hands moved to unbuckle her breastplate as she continued. "The truth is that I am actually Prince Goltana's Knight!" And indeed, the black lion which now stood revealed on her breast appeared to lend its strength to this last statement. "Kill me now if you must, for in death I will be vindicated."
cj iwakura turned back to Shamus as he spoke. "Perhaps you truly serve Goltana after all. It appears that a lust for one's own death is a hallmark of that company." Shamus merely smiled.
Meanwhile, several of the assembled nobles noticed that Last Son had been conspicuously missing for quite some time. Lignisse, Inquisitor, and Shinto decided to form a search party for their missing brethren, fearing that he had fallen victim to the treacherous schemes of the remaining Lucavi. For near an hour they wandered the stone halls, and with each passing second they grew more and more sure that the worst had come to pass. Their fears were temporarily alleviated when they spotted the shrouded figure of Last Son standing at the end of the hallway. “Ho!” Lignisse yelled as the party approached. “It is not wise to travel the halls alone in these dark times.” Last Son’s mouth began to move, but the voice that it produced was not his own. “Indeed. Not wise to travel alone at all,” the dread voice said. “Nor in threes.” It was then that Last Son emerged from the shadows, and Inquisitor noticed the demon hand thrust into his back, manipulating him like a puppet. “Last Son danced for me, and so shall you all dance!” The Lucavi flung the bloodied body at the search party, flooring both Lignisse and Inquisitor. “So shall you all dance…” the Lucavi said with a grin as he disappeared once more into the shadows.
Later that night, Bliss 101, Serpent, and Balefuego, along with several other small yet well-armed groups of nobles, had decided that it would be better to seek out and destroy the Lucavi hiding amongst them rather than search for some missing person. To this end, they had taken to searching the upper levels of the castle. Several hours had been spent thus, in a fruitless cataloguing of empty bedchambers and audience halls; all that was left at this point was to ascend to the parapets and conduct an inspection of the towers. Bliss 101's group was in the middle of inspecting the central tower when a scraping noise from above froze all three in their tracks.
"Did you hear that?" hissed Balefuego.
The others nodded, their weapons already drawn. The trio positioned themselves in a defensive stance, their eyes casting back and forth along the roof of the great castle. They heard another scrape--metal on something, perhaps--and then a loud, jarring series of bumps and thumps. Something was rolling down the roof towards them...
"Look out!"
Bliss 101 and Serpent sprang to each side, heeding Balefuego's shout of warning; however, he was not so lucky. The whirling object had picked up quite a bit of unexpected speed on its way down the steep decline, and with a final clanging bounce, it planted itself decisively against Balefuego's forehead, knocking him senseless. Robbed of its momentum, the helmet--for that was what it was--bounced straight into the air, landing heavily enough on Balefuego's torso to pop open the visor and reveal the horrified face of Shamus. Both of the conscious nobles paled, staring at Shamus's contorted features. Whatever had killed him had not been gentle.
"Such a shame..." The mournful tone, and the loud BANG that accompanied it, shocked Bliss 101 into looking up from the severed head. It seemed that Serpent had grown a third, clawed arm from the center of his chest. Bliss 101 could only stare in shock as the screaming Serpent feebly tried to force the Lucavi's arm into retreat. "...and here I was hoping he would have been a little more pleased to see me! How rude, don't you think?"
The arm flickered, and suddenly Serpent was sailing over the parapet, screaming all the way down. The Lucavi didn't even spare the late noble a glance, instead busying itself with an inspection of its metal-scuffed claws. "Seems I got a little too hasty," it muttered to the stunned Bliss 101. "Tell me if this hurts too much, all right?"
"...jump."
The Lucavi blinked. "Hmm?" He barely dodged out of the way as Tabasco came plummeting from above, driving his spear into the ground where the demon had been but a moment ago. Cursing, he retreated into the shadows, electing to run away and live for another day. Tabasco immediately chased after the Lucavi, but upon turning the corner was grabbed by an unknown figure. He raised his spear to defend himself, but found himself breathing through a slit in his throat before he could act.
The council, certain that B:L had masterminded this, were quick to drag her to the courtyard, presenting her with a coil of rope around her neck for her honesty. It was a sad thing that this war had caused even the noblest of knights to be murdered simply for being slightly suspicious.
The Spell Edge was used. It was ineffective. It didn't break.
Last Son - Goltana Oracle (killed by Lucavi) Shamus - Goltana Noble (killed by ninja) B:L - Goltana Knight (killed by council) Tabasco - Larg Calculator (killed by ninja) Serpent - Larg Noble (killed by Lucavi)
The hell it was all about was people being too dense to put together the fact that no one other than B:L had a reason to gaurd plutonium and tons of lies and deceit followed.

I apologize if I confused you earlier, but if you were looking at it from my perspective, it was the only choice I had.
You still have a choice, however.
You still have yet to convince me you are something more then a Lucavi.

Die bunny! :P
I have this feeling that I am not going to live the night.

And for good measure, !die B:L
DO NOT TRUST LIGNISSE.
We killed a Knight. Damn.
Don't be so flaky next time, B:L!
QFT if he's not been lying.
I made the assumption that Infidel was a traitor, because of Shamus' comment, and that sent me down the wrong path which I couldn't recover from.
The major problem was that the Oracle never trusted me, Infidel never denied Shamus' comment, and no one ever contacted me. I hope the Oracle makes it through the night.
I usually took longer than this though, so I won't complain.
!vote Gnasty for Captain Whiner ;-)

You have failed me for the last time.
Why did the Lucavi only get two kills?
Gotcha bitch, trying to seer me
oooooOOOOooo
Whadda mean, trying? I seered you good =p
My dying request was not fulfilled, I am now sad... and dead.
OOoooOoooooOOO
I am this court's mime, I am this court's fool! How could I see something so plainly and you all could not?
Also, Shamus, why in the world did you lie like that? Now we have no seers and only one guardian. Great.
