This is why I told you to lay your cards on the table yesterday, to avoid such situations. But alas, your hearing is selective.

To be fair, this isn't really to KoD's detriment. More everybody else's. Yesterday could have gone differently.

Um, most definitely. I think it is good that the kingdom is about about to be under new management. Good luck finding out what civilian life is all about Queenie. Unless.....KoD has something else special in mind.....

Nope. Nothing special. Tevish is right.

Time to retire from royalty, Queenie. Your besttea goes first though.

I've already made arrangements to become a vigilante knock off in the next installment: Queenie Steals the Tea Party.

Was held up all weekend with busy life stuff. :sweat: :bigeyes:

BUT ALSO, I just checked, and, surprise-surprise, not everyone requested it. :teach:

Sooooo, technically, I'm in the clear about that.

Day 8 ends without a Lynch. It is now Night 8.

Will replace this with some fancy post tomorrow morning.



The land of Dominaria stood quiet. Those who remained were sullenly accepting their fates. All hope was lost...

From her castle the Queen pleaded with her friend, the Tea Merchant, to leave this doomed land while there was still time, but the Tea Merchant steadfastly refused.

"I'm with you 'till the bitter end," she said, and the two embraced one final time.

It is now Night 8.


During Night 8, Neon Abigail was killed and her soul was consumed by the Lich. She was the Town-Aligned Tea Merchant.

Meanwhile, ExLight was revived as a Zombie. Welcome back, Ex.

The sun still rose on the barren land of Dominaria. The Lich King might have sucked all life there was left to suck out of this place, but still, the sun shone on, itself seemingly immune to KoD's great evil.

As Queenie looked upon her desolate landscape, she gasped to see her friend, the Tea Merchant, lay dead and on display, undoubtedly just for her.

"You monster..." She whispered to herself.

As if on command, the Lich King of Dominaria then did appear, with his undead army that seemed to grow larger with each passing day.

"It's over, my sweet waifu," the monster said. "I have taken everything from you but your life. Now, I have come to take even that. Its been a fun game, but the pieces are done being played with. Better luck to you next time. For now, it's checkmate."

"Just make it quick. I can't bear to listen to more of your gloating," retorted the Queen, defiant to the end.

"As you wish," KoD replied.

And then, in what could only be described as the one act of mercy the monstrous tyrant had ever done in life or death, KoD consumed the soul of his beloved wife.


The Queen is DEAD!


GAME OVER; KoD WINS!

Flawless Victory...




The WINNERS: Tevish Szat, KingofDominaria, Ragnarokio, OGSniper, ExLight

The LOSERS: L41N, Paranoid King, SteveThePirate, Rubik, Mint Elv, shadow amber, Neon Abigail, Queenie

GG

i was trying to goad KoD into soulcrushing me b/c i was hoping it would end up freeing me from his control instead of killing me, but it didn't happen and eventually it seemed like the game was inevitably going towards a necromancy win so i decided to stick with it

at one point ex mentioned the possible presence of a necromancer and i replied saying that if there was a necromancer pursuing them would be the best course of action, which is probably the closest i got to helping town. that post seemed to have been mostly ignored though, and i didn't feel comfortable bringing it up without prompting so i didn't say much after that.

I did pretty much nothing and was rewarded!

Honestly I was terrified through the midgame. We had to get a cop dead because it was known to be coming in on me, I got arrested by OGS, and even though OGS died the block from that arrest stopped me from raising him which I thought would be a red flag. It honestly felt like, at any moment, I was going to go down. And I don't know how critical that was, all I really knew was my own role to resurrect the dead and that I was mod-confirmed to be coaligned with KoD

Well, that was something, wasn't it? :party:

Y'all are probably wondering "What the hell even happened?!"

Well, KoD and his faction (the never-revealed Necromancy-Aligned death cult) achieved a flawless victory, so it's only natural that you are left with more questions than answers. Even standard mafia games (which this wasn't) in which the scum team achieves a flawless victory often leave the rest of the players wondering what they could've done differently.

This game was a tad complicated.

Tevish was essentially a full-blown Death Cult Leader (revives dead players onto his team). KoD was essentially an unkillable Serial Killer aligned with him who would die if he ever failed to kill someone even just once on any given Night.

There were so many protective roles in this game that at one point literally HALF the players had access to a doctor/bulletproof type ability at the same time. Yet, despite this, KoD was never prevented once until Rubik's death, where it was revealed that No Lynch Days made his kills unblockable. That piece of knowledge was what you were in theory missing most of the game to be able to mount a successful defense against him.

I guess I should give out some MVPs... Here goes.

Town/Crown MVP: shadow amber - for being the only player to NOTICE there was an unusual amount of protective roles in a game this small. Amber noticed this and pointed it out as early as Night 2, but despite catching on to this BIG CLUE, nobody other than her really picked up on it. Sorry, Amber. You were this close to solving the logic puzzle.

Runner up: OGSniper, for arresting Tevish. If only Tevish had been Lynched, it would've upgraded you from a rookie Knight to a full-blown one.

Necromancy MVP: Tevish Szat - For playing such a strong game that even when there was LITERALLY NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU who could've been KoD's secret accomplice, the remaining living players still didn't think you were Sus enough to Lynch. Well done.

I will post all the roles in a moment.

...And then there was poor, poor Ragnarokio...
Doomed Prisoner


And here's my list of all the Night actions taken:

I do believe that is everything... :sweat:

seems like no-lynching was probably the right move for town then, since otherwise KoD would have effectively gained an extra life every night until tevish was killed, and that makes the LyLo math pretty rough

i haven't read every role yet though

I like that Zinger has not only created a game series, but built lore which has been added to it.

Truly a testament to the players of this community.

gg on losing though

*Highfives the Necrobros.*

Death! Hell yeah!
