The itsy-bitsy spider
Climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
And the itsy-bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again

Like all sentient weapons, The Sword of Kas has its own personality, desires, and goals, and has the ability to exert its own will on an unwary wielder. According to both the Ioun, it is bent on the destruction of its enemy and his followers. Ioun specifically stated that a “powerful evil drives the sword, but to a just end.”

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey;
Along came a spider,
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away
Little Miss Muffet,
Sat on a Tuffet,
Eating her Bread and Jam,
Along came a Spider,
While she was Drinking her Cider,
And she ran away and her shoes fell off!

End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.

To market, to market, to buy a fat pig,
Home again, home again, jiggety-jig.
To market, to market, to buy a fat hog,
Home again, home again, jiggety-jog.
To market, to market, to buy a plum bun,
Home again, home again, market is done.

Do you know I'm faking
When I'm lying next to you?
Do you know that I am blind to everything you ever do?
Must be something on your mind
Something lost for me to find
Do you know I'm faking
Then she told me she had a gun
It sounded like she'd used It once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
It sounded like she'd used It once before, oh man
I guess you know I'm faking
When I tell you I love you
I guess you know that I am blind
To everything you say and do
Must be something on my mind
There's nothing left for me to hide
Do you know I'm faking

[brainbomb]

Jocko says "Yes" and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standing in each other's way
You're tripping back now to places you've been to
You wonder what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave 'em all far behind

'Cause it's the new mother nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new mother nature taking over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all

[brainbomb]

No time for a summer friend
No time for the love you send
Seasons change and so did I
You need not wonder why
You need not wonder why
There's no time left for you
No time left for you

[brainbomb]

Jack be limbo, Jack be quick
Jack go unda limbo stick
All around the limbo clock
Hey, let's do the limbo rock

[brainbomb]

I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh, all my friends are turning green
You're the magician's assistant in their dreams
Oh
Oh and they come unstuck
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

[damo666]

I hardclaim serial killer.

I havent decided who im killing yet

It's painless

[brainbomb]

Im open to suggestions however.

whichever side argues better for my shot tonight gets it

[brainbomb]

At this point im getting lynched so maybe if I choose a towny scum wont rb me and maybe theyll enjoy my help. or maybe town makes a killer suggestion and ill do it.

gms told me im allowed to claim since conceding at present isnt allowed.

this kid is good. little too flawless almost.

I find him mightily suspicious even though I cannot produce any proper reasoning.

maybe because I'm less active than usual and I am more confident in my reads ... or this is just a try to pocket me by giving a compliment, who knows.

congrats!

Did nobody else try to decrypt this brainbomb post?

hmm im just now realizing how rediculous the second part is lol

actually, stuff like this is done here. In that case it's bavaria, but people around here get a huge load of money from tourism, Austria is 7th most visited country in Europe with over 30 million, in contrast germany has just 39 mill, britain 36 mill and france, number one in the world, has just about 90 million visitors a year. Currently, Austria has around 8 million inhabitants, so for every citizen there are over 3 visitors a year.

By the way, you should visit Austria, it's a very nice and friendly place. Just not the servers in Vienna, but that is a special charm, being rude to their guests, just so you are informed. (Yearly personal tourism advertisment quota: fulfilled.)

One small thing I don't like about Kakarroto's post is that it responds to a bunch of different questions in one conglomeration. I think that makes it less likely people will engage, or that it will spawn subsequent discussions on interesting points. I wonder if that's a deliberate choice...

well I like the style, when I come back after I missed some stuff I can look at that, give my thoughts and replies, so I can focus on the flowing game. I can see though what you are meaning. I personally don't like the style to reply with one post at a time when there is ongoing stuff I might miss, also, short posts with repeating stuff or one thought or statement I don't like too much, just a personal preference. I can see why it is done sometimes, but it looks most of the time just messy to me. I think you can compare that to my other games, there are for sure some wall posts from me with stuff like this.

Bunny carrotcake rdr ?

There’s carrot cake? Where? What are you talking about?

Yeah, I know, I'm not as active as in other games.

And where is kitsune the ?

of course, a prey would love to know where there is a predator

but yeah, it is a good question. Another good question: where is flash?

[...] brain's reads [...]

How can you read Kit? She’s barely been here.

and flash ...

Has Kitsune gone missing?

and flash ... what is it with all the people missing kitsune but not flash?

Are you saying you think these are the only possible scum teams? What is this based on?

Not necessarily the only possible but the most likely (based on VCA). However for some reason I forgot food and flash so the 7 counts are 9 counts and Food and Flash should be 2

Why would flash and foodcoats only have a count of 2? Based on their D1 votes, they could be mafia with anyone. Why do you think there is no chance that Jamie, Vecna, Kitsune, and Bob are mafia?

The working assumption was that either Brain or Bunny was scum.

I did not say I think there is no chance that those 4 are mafia, i do deem it unlikely.

emc was trying hard to avoid the lynch, I doubt he would be doing that at BunnyGo's expense if they were teammates.

He created a 3-way tie when he voted for Bunnygo, which could have been a smart way to try to generate a lot of movement that would have saved him. The person he did not vote to create that tie was Jamie...

I really don't like damo's reasoning there. Also not tying for Jamie you say ...

The voting patterns on pages 78 to 80 are very interesting.

First Brainbomb votes Bozo with no explanation or reasoning:

[...] my post is getting too long already, need to cut some things, look it up in the original post please. lover, the one formerly named steve

He abandons the Bozo wagon, starts a new wagon on Vecna with no real case, just a lot of insults, and in the process, puts himself back in the lead.

Brainbomb, why did you abandon the Bozo wagon the moment it tied with your own? Is Bozo your scumbuddy? Did you only want to bus him gently? Were you hoping to send him a signal to try to get him off you?

Yes, is bozo brains scumbuddy? What do you think now about brain.

@Steve:

I am not the Serial Killer and, in any case, I am certainly not the lynch today.

You have declared that you don't scumread Brainbomb.

Bozotheclown is the second biggest wagon after your strong townread Brainbomb, yet instead of pushing Bozo or asking him any questions, you just leave your vote uselessly sitting on me.

Discuss.

I shouldn't respond to me being called steve but I guess for this game it's a thing now.

Sorry that I wasn't there because work, I tried my best to get to EoD (well, maybe I shouldn't have with us lynching our cop but hindsight and stuff, sorry again, bozo). Anyway it's not uselessly, there just is something not right with you, but I guess I got bozo totally wrong too as my highest scumread besides you. At least I can tell myself when I go to bed, that I knew he was off, just in a totally wrong way.

Brain's countercase on Jamiet is pretty good, actually. Well, until it drags me in. It is a little odd Jamiet didn't say anything snide about my implicit scumread of him based on EMC's D1 vote...

On the other hand, what if Brain knew he screwed up with that re-vote ploy, and during N1 in the mafia QT basically told his scummates to bus him and the scum team is planning to sacrifice him to clear the air and earn some towncred for the remaining two? It's a wild idea...

But it also doesn't contradict the first idea, seeing as how Jamiet would be the obvious one to push that wagon. And since Brainbomb is so onto this idea that the scumteam all voted together D1, maybe that's misdirection so that they can all vote together D2?

so that would've been M v T v M and town got lynched? wouldn't that make everyone on bozo practically a must for mafia? And some useful blind vt's to fill up to 6? Nah, I'm pretty sure with that we don't have two maff's here. might be MvTvS or TvTvS, TvTvM or even TvTvT, with a pretty low probability for the last two in my opinion, but MvTvM I'd say that's not really the case.

=======================================

Heya, be here for a short while, at work, colleague has borrowed me a device so I can be EoD here, will go home then, but for now, I see, people already understand jamie is evil, that's good, we need to lynch jamie today

why?

I don't think Jamiet is evil. I think a tie for second place is interesting; and that if my theory is that both Brain and Jamiet are scum, I'd rather flip Jamiet first.

what in the world? How did I miss that yesterday?
========================================

by the way, I think I know now why bozo wanted this random count for names, he wanted help to know in which order he should visit people to scan, though I'm not sure if he began with the most or least count. Probably the least, because that would fit the average-ing properties of randomness. Maybe I'm completely off there though.

[brainbomb]

my thought was to just kit so she has more time to do irl stuff

[Kakarroto]

oh, hi brain, well if you in fact are the sk, then either use it on me or jamie, I'm pretty sure that would help town for now.

alternatively, you could use it on yourself, coming to think of it? I've never read a thing where you can't self target with it, right? Although, that would violate the rule of not playing to your winstyle I guess.
