I have an announcement to make!

There will be an additional few hours added to this cycle, because I won't make it to end it on time.

Yeah, I have school during the end of it, so I won't be there.

Also, everyone, send me your actions! If you don't send it to me before the cycle ends, you won't have an action for this phase.

Alright.

--

The prosperous region of Darmas, lying near the southern reaches of the continent and along the lines of the Greyscale Mountains. Because of its position near the jagged landscape, they have quite the monopoly when it comes to the numerous mines and veins littering the face of the mountains. This has lead to having a culture of miners and gold-diggers, seeking their fortune. Of course, many find nothing but empty pockets, yet some, sporadically, find a high-profit vein, and leave the mountains with enough coin to live a wealthy life.

Now, this region has long been under the divine rule of Pelor, shining brightly on all those with a rightious mind. The god does not meddle, and helps the locals prosper and flourish. Everyone is content with the situation... If they are natives.

Along the darker corners of Darmas' society, sneak the followers of the shady Olidammara, waiting for the right time, and attack with opportunity. These figures, consisting of thieves, rogues and other scum, loom around to lift the naïve of their hard-earned gold. They take what they can, and dart back to the shadows when the treasure is had. These criminals and other unfortunate folk do not ask for more. Their only dislike is the light of Pelor, which illuminates their backhanded business.

However, even though the scum does not pose a real threat, the other participants for the gold do.

Two conquerors, both with different goals, have also set their eyes on the rich lands of Darmas. Nerull, the god of death and decay, wishes to rid the world of Pelor's licht, and does not mind to reap the bodies of all who stands in his way. Olidammara, Hextor... He does not mind it. As long as he remains to rule the pyres he is content, and to him, bodies are all the same, whether they be holy or rogue.
On the other hand, Hextor, the deity of tyranny, wishes to claim the prosperous lands for his own. He has been waging an endless conquest to have the whole of the continent fall under his borders. Nothing will stand in his way, not even death itself. He does not care for wealth, nor happiness. The only thing that matters, is dominion, and power.

As the war unfolds, four scions, all imbued with the divine power of their respective masters, are send to Darmas, to claim the lands and reach their respective goals. None but a single deity will remain. The others? Burn them, nail them to the cross, and tear them apart. There will be no respite. Only extermination.

CYCLE ONE HAS ENDED. CYCLE TWO WILL BEGIN AFTER THIS POST.

Dead:

Nobody.


Happy hunting!

Okay, I'm going to step up to the plate on this one.

Knowing the past history of games, I'd like to nip this at the bud and vote out Zephyr. We have no idea what role he has or what kind of cataclysmic plan he has up his sleeves, so I say we take him out early. I'm sure the other 2 teams would agree.

Vote: Zephyr

Oi, the fuck?

The fact that I'm good at faction games isn't a reason to vote me out. It's a reason to ally yourself with me.

Feel free to PM me if you're interested. This is an open invitation, but I will only ally myself with one other faction to avoid...undesired situations.

Nyon, I won't counter vote you because I don't bear you any ill will. Seriously, though, the fuck? This isn't a game for cataclysmic, all-encompassing plans. Not yet, anyways. We're just getting to our feet right now.

Well, barring the points raised by Zephyr in his post, which is full of the minor gambits and claims that make him so potent, I'd like to take the opportunity that the early stages of a faction game provides to discuss something else.

The cult of Zephyr.
Right now, in every game that we run, Zephyr comes to the game with an advantage over everyone else. We expect things from him. We expect him to mold our actions to his desire, we expect him to turn on us three turns before we learn of it, we expect some damn scheme. To say this reputation is unearned would be a lie because he does have skill and he has played us before. Unfortunately, as true as it may be, we really shouldn't act like it's true. We shouldn't act like that's true because it gives him more power. If our actions towards him in these games are determined by a set of expectations we have of him, he in turn is able to form expectations of us.

To summarize, Zephyr can predict our actions because we fear him.

Sure Zephyr is a skilled player and we should be aware of that, but don't treat him as the defining voice of the game. The only thing that accomplishes, is making him the defining voice of the game. Personally, I'm not going to vote for Zephyr right now. Depending on his actions in this game I may yet choose to vote for him later. I'd rather not let him write his own legend.

I may yet be interested in running alliances later, but that's something I've yet to discuss with my allies, so it'll have to wait.

Well, this is certainly interesting. And that was a nice bit of rhetoric Talon :V

Of course, it's pretty simple to poke a hole in your logic Talon: if we just lynch him, that removes any threat at all that he poses. Though, of course, that's true of almost anyone. I'll refrain from it for now.

This game's started at a really bad time for me - this next week or so is full of assignments and exams. While I would love to get some alliances going, and some serious plays in order, I simply can't. Hell, I might even come close to being inactivity killed. Best of luck everyone.

To be perfectly honest, there is no reason to lynch anyone right now, since nobody has died. A random lynch could work, of course, but it's never any fun to do that.

If we want to lynch someone, it would better to ensure that their role is a dangerous role, or a scion role. Right now, we have no grounds to go on for a lynch. If we were going to lynch, I would prefer it would be because someone claimed or found out someone else's role through some means or another. Perhaps one of the investigative roles could shed some light on the situation.

Then again, I have no idea what to work toward in a factions game. There's no clear enemy, and since you already know all your real allies, it's difficult to know what to say in the thread.

Thats the thing there is no clear enemy, you can either bide your time and wait until the right moment and then everything goes to hell, or you could try and spread out the hell over the course of the whole game by slowly voting everyone out. I for one like everything going to hell in one big hand basket, so I will bide my time. Vote No Lynch

Alright! A close call, but due to my late arrival, Zephyr was saved. How lucky. :l

---

Little happened during the cycle following the first arrival of the scions. No deaths, no reaping of what had been sown just yet. Even during the blackness of the night, the lands of Darmas were left to their devices, with little disturbing the sleep of all the innocent.

Call it the calm before the storm, if you will.

However, as everyone slept, something not even the gods could have foreseen took part. In a flash, the heavens tore apart, with thunder raining down down and scarring the lands. From the epicenter, a monstrous hand reached out, clawing the sky in otherworldly convulsions.

''A pity! Have you forgotten about me, mortal?! I am Syrassil, the Emperor of Creation. Do you think you can ignore your maker, scrawny bug?! Cower in fear, tremble and embrace your final salvation!''

With inhuman speed, the hand soared downwards, squashing the human under his majestic thumb. All that remained was a humble heap of human waste, with blood staining the walls. Hyp-R was no more.

---

Dead:

Hyp-R - Carl Deathstrike - Follower of Pelor (Inactivity Kill)

Go and destroy the opposition, but don't leave me hangin', mortals!

Cycle three, start!

Okay, after careful consideration I've decided on who I'm going to lynch today.

Vote: Zephyr

P.S: No hard feelings for yesterday's attempt. This one's for different reasons. :)

Well, Zephyr isn't on my side, and I didn't take up his offer of an alliance, so I don't see why not.

I'd just like to say that no one's PM'd me, so I'm basically not a threat in this game. If you guys would like to go after the real threats in this game (i.e. the ones who are actually playing it, unlike me because SO MUCH SCHOOL), then you should vote with me for Nyon.

The primary purpose of this vote is to set the number of votes at 6, just in case Nerull is fishing for a night kill. Will revisit later.

I was confused on how setting the votes to 6 will prevent Nerull from getting a night kill.

Then I reread the roles and it made sense. Now to make certain they can't get a night kill.

Thanks for outing yourself, Talon. I'm now positive that you're the Scion of Pelor.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Scion of Pelor has the ability to stop all of our powers this game. Since their side is almost eliminated anyway, it seems only fair that we eliminate this side once and for all before resuming our previous feuds.

Vote: TalonJay

EDIT: Change of plans. Q is the Scion of Nerull, and as such is much more dangerous.

Unvote: TalonJay
Vote: LordQ
