    Well, if he wasn't the one to die, then who should? I really don't think anyone has done anything to merit death shy of blind accusations.

    And I have sort of helped everybody by letting everybody have a say in who dies. Can you say that about anybody else?

    There never was a point. This is just revenge from the people who wanted him dead yesterday, starting a bandwagon to get support of people who think it will be funny if he kills himself. If we can get him elected again he'll be immune to his kill vote though.

    No, I won't be immune to my own kill. That's why I want people to elect me again today. So if they change their minds later and decide to kill somebody else, they can vote again tomorrow. And if they don't change their minds, nobody will be in power, especially not somebody from the opposite family.

    Look at the bright side: if you win the vote, then technically, no one dies(I think).

    Well, the final decision is still the person in office, but barring them being elected again (and thus immune to death for that night), I'll say that they can order themselves to death.

    And also, since that put me into thinking other ways the elected person can die. If they're one of the lovers, and on the night they're elected (immune to death), their lover dies, then they will commit suicide to join them. That's the only way the elected person can die on the night of their election. That's the only way the person elected can die.

    Of course, on their way out of office, they're fair game.

    If I win both votes, I guess I won't be killing anybody.

    Executive veto. The person in office has to kill -someone- not immune to death.

    This sounds like quite the bitter conclusion, especially since no one seems to know where each other's allegiances lie. Unless, perhaps, you happen to know something we do not?

    Are you joking? I know that yesterday Cowboy was a worshipper of precisionk in his election run, and brought up the suicide vote to discredit thorgot's democracy policy. Then thorgot won the election and Cowboy immediately sets out to make him kill himself. I wasn't aware this connection was difficult to see.

    Letsee, if I recall my history correctly...

    Only Cowboy, Archonex and Digger Dude gave that, or a similar reason, for voting for your execution. It would be quite unfair and manipulative to lump the majority for the crimes of a minority.

    The only justification anyone has ever given is that they want to put his promise to the test. Which is meaningless because if he's proven trustworthy, he'll be dead. No one has provided a reason for this vote that actually makes sense.

    I also !vote for Cowboybot67 twice because the idea of proving thor true to his word by making him kill himself is counter-productive and dumb.

    The justification I've given is that Thorgot stated that he's a minor noble and therefor expendable.

    I've got another justification:
    Yesterday Thorgot was elected. Therefor he became the mightiest person in the game (although he lost that power by playing democratic). Probably both historians researched him that night. Killing Thorgot is reducing the historians knowledge and therefor their power. And I don't want the historians to become too powerful.

    You know, he says its a democractic system but its far from it. Last I knew of a democratic system, you dont give people who support you double the votes. But meh straws and needles I say.

    I'm here to make an interesting game, and thorgot and precisionk both came out and said HAI GUYS VOTE FOR ME. Unfortunately, Precisionk had the right stand. Not some voting bullshit that convolutes the game more.


    If you vote for anyone BUT thorgot, You may kill a family member who has a freakin special power. Thorgot said he's a noble, why would you want a simple noble to live?! In my humble experience that makes him expendable.

    Unless he states what family he is in, my vote to kill him still stands, there is no reason to vote for anyone but him to die. A sad little king on a sad little hill.

    Well, I would disagree that he's expendable because he's probably the only person that will leave his power in the hands of the rest of us instead of playing by his own rules, which makes me much more nervous.

    As for the historians, in this game I don't think they are very powerful at all as long as they're not elected(precisionk claims to be a historian btw), because they can never prove their identity to the rest of us, even in death.

    Someone claiming to be a spy contacted me right after the vote yesterday to say that Rygar was investigated last night. He didn't name any families. Rygar immediately changed his vote over to Digger Dude.

    Does that help sway anybody's vote?

    tl;dr: Digger Dude is almost certainly a historian. Since he hasn't contacted anybody but Rygar, the odds are good that he isn't in your family, whatever it is. That is why I am voting Digger Dude for execution.

    There are other ways to collect knowledge and being no historian I will utilize them. And feeding is easier once the big fish are gone.

    Leave his power to the people...or his plans with his successor...


    Psycholarry:

    I don't mind the votes psycho larry. But lets keep it clear, I asked him an honest question, and he had all the power in the world to tell me thats a retarded idea and he wouldnt do it. He painted his own corner. Everyone else wanted to see a funny show.

    Thorgot:

    Not particularly, so Rygar was investigated...and he changed his vote quickly to Digger...which so did you...

    Still not enough information.

    Rygar voted for him for election, presumably after he was told he had been seered. I voted for him for execution, because of what this "spy" had told me.

    You simply sidestepped the issue: that Rygar supported Digger just after Rygar had supposedly been investigated.

    Man...good thing we dont jump to conclusions quick....

    If we voted to kill anyone who voted or changed thier minds and voted differently, We'd all be DEAD by now.

    Digger Dude claims to be a historian(supposedly by mistake, thinking he's calling out precisionk). A historian investigates Rygar that night. Immediately afterwards, Rygar changes his vote to elect Digger Dude.

    But you're right, I'm sure it's a coincidence. Let's go back to killing people when it's funny.

    Digger and Rygar have 10.5 people on their team.
    Any other particular person has 11.5 people on their team.
    (The .5s come from the odd person)

    Therefore, there is a better chance they are on the other team from any particular person who is still alive. That includes me, and that includes everybody else. People who have contacts, such as brothers and lovers, have an even better chance that he is of the opposite family.

    Therefore, there is a better chance they are on the other team from any particular person who is still alive. That includes me, and that includes everybody else. People who have contacts, such as brothers and lovers, have an even better chance that he is of the opposite family.

    here buddy who is emperor and can't read.

    You stated digger and rygar have 10.5 people on thier True. True we all have 10+ people on our sides,if we were already on sides...so who are the other 8.5 on thier network?! You don't know how many people are in thier network.

    How do you propose to know how many people are on thier team, you can't know.

    The way I see it, yer on the choppers block and need to come up with more than just numbers and reasons to not vote for you.

    *edit* Changed team to network
