"Let me spin you a tale," the tea master sat perched on the bar at a little tavern just outside the city. She looked forwards talking to nobody in particular.

"I lived in service to a Queen whom truly I adored but one night..." she seemed transfixed like she was there again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"My Queen," the tea master burst into the throne room tears in her eyes.



"Yes I've been expecting you, " the queen said smiling. "I know what you and that...postal carrier of yours have been up too."

"I'm sorry my queen it was the only way..."

"It wasn't the only way, " the Queen tapped her throne impatiently. "It was the way you chose. You must take responsibility for your actions."

"I'm sorry my queen, I just thought that... we could throw the perfect tea party. Just you, me, and her but now you've had her arrested, you've let so many out of the jails, look..." she was cut off by the queen.

"I know what you want, she's waiting for you outside the main gates but if you choose this path too there's no coming back. If you choose this path you will never set foot in this kingdom again," the queen stood and walked over to the tea master kissing her on the cheek. "I would hate to lose you, you were the best tea master I've ever had but I understand," she whispered. "I would never blame you."

The tea master nodded tears rolling down her cheek.



She grabbed her tea set from near the throne and ran out the doors down through the city to the main gate jumping into the arms of the royal postal carrier.



"Your looking extra cute love," she said.

"And your crying, did someone hurt you, do I need to kill them?" The postal carrier asked.

"No, no I'm just happy that you're here we can go anywhere we want now, we are free. Where to my love?"

The two looked out over the horizon "I guess wherever this road takes us?" The postal carrier said "for however long we travel it together." And so the two headed off down the path to who knows where.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The tea master finished her story opening her eyes and looking forward at the nobody who she was talking to. To her left she heard a whisper "truly a beautiful story," the voice said softly.

The tea master turned looking at the person standing beside her. It was the queen clad in steel armor. Sword in hand.

"We've not stood in violation of your orders," the tea master said. "We've not stepped foot in the city."

The queen chuckled. "I know Abigail I'm here to give you this, " she handed the tea master an invitation. The master of teas opened it and stared. The note beautifully penned simply read 'who should be invited to my party?'

The tea master smiled. "If it were I in charge I'd invite the Hyrulians and Amber." The queen nodded.

"And what will you do?" The queen asked. "I can't help but notice the mail carrier isn't here."

"Oh she's out hunting," the tea master said smiling "she should be back soon."

"Hunting... what exactly?" The queen asked.

"I mean... you probably know the answer to that, " the tea master sipped from her cup slowly.



"I see, she always was savage, " the queen nodded just as the door to the tavern opened the postal carrier entered with a smile. She walked past the queen brushing her off and up to the tea master. Where the two kissed.



The queen turned to take her leave. "I see your doing well," she smiled. "I hope you enjoy retirement." She exitted the tavern hopping on her horse and riding away.

"What did she want?" The postal carrier asked.

"Nothing important," the tea master smiled. "Let's go have a private tea party." The tea master winked walking out of the tavern off towards the forest and further still from the kingdom she once called home.

Zenon has left the game. She will be replaced by the diety RNGesus. Well mostly.

cool post

so has this game ended yet or

Nah, everybody is sitting around waiting for somebody else to decide who the winners are gonna be.

speak for yourselves im doing my best out here
i only didn't vote yesterday because i thought there would be more input on what we wanted to do
im telling you right now my intent is to shoot wilgy tonight, vote fred tomorrow, and then flip a coin on who gets shot after that

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT WILGY

he was a perfectly good boy

how could you do this

It's ok my friend.

I've enjoyed my life and time with you all.

I have no regrets. A good honorable death is all I could ask for.

from a purely pragmatic standpoint it was honestly not much of a choice :d
killing a solo faction player reduces the number of active factions, plus my role prevents the game from ending if any akkadians are alive and they aren't the only faction so mine and his survival are mutually exclusive
the alternative answer is i die instead, but i'm the one with the gun :v

if we believe hard enough we can all win the game together

we just have to find the faction switcher

surely there's one in the game

Surely. <_<

Anyways, Doc W has been killed. They were The one that knew too much.

You have 48 hours to discuss and vote or until some majority is reached.

Rip

Things we need to do:
Test Wilgy's role to see if it can give anyone a win sans invitation.
Try to find the invitations and spread them out to the people we are going to have win.
Figure out if there's any role that can be used to split up invitations in the case of multiple invitations on one person. This might be possible using some kind of thief role but I've never read the details of any of them.
Determine winners.

We have the ability to swap roles pretty heavily, so we should hopefully be doing that tonight.

How many thief roles are there? I'm guessing that's our main way of doing the thing now that Zenon is gone.

im ~90% that the survivor wincon is tied to the akkadian faction and not any of the roles

i think there's like 3? thief roles, and assuming nothing was swapped last night then one is on dusky, one is on dark, and one is on aargh
i don't know the details of any of them except one of them targets dead bodies and one of them also protects

as for actual invites i believe as of last night before she left zenon had one to give and the other two were on dusky's body, i don't know what was decided last night but if i had to guess invites were reclaimed and should start going out tonight; if anyone has an invite now would be a good time to let us know

between swaps and thieves it should be fairly trivial to get invites into the correct hands, so we can decide now who should get one and react to whoever ends up with one
to streamline this i believe we should exile fred or myself today then use the remaining one as the anchor to prevent the game from ending until invites are out

There should be two invites on Dusky now. I dunno how to separate them. Queenie said I couldn't give one away myself. So if someone could steal a single one that would be great.

I feel like there were a few roles that can steal items but I don't know if they are all all or nothing items

I can fetch the invite from dusky
surprised dead people can get invites but that neon didn't give me one

You might not want to depending if you can grab just one invite instead of all of them. The roleswap ability also transfers items so that's probably the invite originally given to Amber. I'm more interested in finding a way to remove the stockpile that had built up on Minish at one point.

dusky should have had minish's two, haze had mine
i think they've been reclaimed, but i could be wrong
im still probably gonna vote fred today though
