Yeah, I'm totally impressed with us! Now let's see where we're headed... Oblivion, probably.

Of course you do, you silly, superiorly numbered, elitist Meer.

So now the question is, are we protecting or killing? Or both for those with a pair of stones. Or hoarding?

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 5:40 pm

I am going to go back and see who spent their stones doing what...

stessier · Post by **stessier** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 7:58 pm

I'll save you a bit of time - I probably killed Newcastle and trig (sorry trig!).

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Sun Jan 23, 2011 12:27 am

Ok, so if everything is at face value, Himmel has three survivors, Qantaga has one possible stone, Bakh is empty, King Lagom is undeclared. Erde has three survivors, Bubbles has one possible stone, and both Sectoid and King Stess are empty. Meer has all five, with a protect, 2 rezz, and a Ping used out of 10 stones. If this is all true, Meer could spread six stones across the six enemies... Of course, all of that requires the statements made thus far to be true. Newcastle is Herr Himmel if LM/Scoop aren't hiding among the Meer. LM is pretty well secure as Meer. Ditto for Prince triggercut of Erde. And lastly, mister chaosmeer the fool. Doubtful he is Erde.

Well, now it's time to find out if Izzy is really Meer and resurrecting him was a mistake.

Assuming we reach an impasse today what happens, because it looks like it should be three on three.

Wouldn't it be better to just kill the remaining King and try to win?

LordMortis · Post by **LordMortis** » Mon Jan 24, 2011 10:49 am

No wait, did we say scoop was meer?

Hell yeah.

Who is more likely to have a stone? I'm not sure so for now, I'll say

sectoid

But I'll go whichever way.

Stone needs to be attuned to win... Or presumably we need to have only Meer standing. As much as anything else we need to keep tru1cy alive to make sure he doesn't fall and let dod win.

The contestants seemed to act with impossible coordination and within moments Lagom Lite was struck dead.

His body, soon engulfed by earth; was replaced by a coin, a coin that bore the mark of a King.

Strange as it was; the warriors all looked to the rising sun, and noticed it was actually setting.

Nightly Boiler Plate:

All Contestants:
Will you use 1 or more of your Macht Stones tonight?

If more than 1 Macht Stone is to be used, make that clear, as both orders are needed before I will proceed.
I still require an "I do nothing" order from anyone that still has any Macht Stones left but plans not to use any tonight.
I need all orders before I can/will process any of the orders.

Dod:
Who will you kill tonight?

DEADLINE: All Night Orders are Due by MONDAY, JANUARY 24th, Midnight (Central) TONIGHT!

After what seemed an eternity, the gates raised again with the sun, and no change in population could be detected.

Everyone took careful note of the corpse's ranks, some for the first time, in order to better understand their situation.

The remaining contestants seemed of a like mind.

Sectoid could hardly throw up any defense as their blows beat him to the earth.

The beating continued until the earth itself gave way and swallowed the pulpy remains. Bubbling up from the bloody mud, a gold coin flopped to the surface.

Sectoid was a King.

The day was still young... and the remaining contestants looked at each other and at their alcoves. Would the gates rise? Would the sun set?

The gates did rise... But not just the 16 gates of the Contestants. All the hundreds of gates that circled the huge arena rose. This contest was over.

As the warriors walked out of the arena, they were met by the cheers of thousands of Meer citizens.

In the months that followed, the Meer Majesty waged a series of merciful campaigns realigning the allegiances of the land to their King; the Key Holder, tru1cy.

Meer Majesty is victorious.

Moderators technical note:

Tonight would have been the first night with 'no stones', and as such, tonight every living contestant would have received a single new stone. (Last night, Scoop used his last stone to protect Tru1cy)
While it is/was technically possible for any of the remaining Meer players to re-attune a Key found on Lagom Lite or Sectoid, I made the executive decision that since the Meer where the only players left alive, there was no sense forcing everyone to go through one more night in the alcove at all, however it should be noted that, technically, Chaosraven would very likely have ended the game resurrected by one of those stones. Oddly, as I never would have guessed it - but that means that this game (would have very likely) ended with every Meer alive and everyone else dead. Amazing.

My detailed notes of what each stone was used for are at home (I will share that information tonight).

Sorry again Trig.

And way to lead the charge on Lassr, oh Great and Mighty One!

stessier · Post by **stessier** » Tue Jan 25, 2011 1:41 pm

It was quite satisfying to be taken as a King and to get Sectoid hidden as Herr all without ever sending or receiving a ping. I used both my stones to kill Newcastle and Trig as I mentioned. All other talk of communication was a lie. I knew who my King was and I saw Bubbles following him around like a lost puppy. I thought LM might have been Erde because of how the tru1cy reveal went down. Everything else was just putting the pieces of the puzzle together based on stated roles.

Hey msteelers - what did you do each night? And why Chaos to start?

Lagom Lite · Post by **Lagom Lite** » Tue Jan 25, 2011 1:42 pm

Nice deception by Erde. I thought through the end that stessier was the King. Did you ping each other to conspire and discuss, or did Sectoid simply take the chance to play along?
