Who says a female can't be the lord over all lords? Now back to Witch Trials, lol

[Heald]

Ah, but define lord please.

lord

A man of high rank in a feudal society or in one that retains feudal forms and institutions.

I'll think you'll find that I am, as in all cases, right.

[Dark-San]

[b][size=3] The last thing we need here is a battle of English Language. Seriously lets get back to the game.

*Psst Kirst*

People are arguing over your nick. High time you might want to change it now.

[Weasel Overlord]

[color=thistle]BASTARD!! PROFANITIES!! I go away for the weekend, forget to post that I'm going to be away for said weekend...come back, Placebo-shell-shocked, only to find that I'm bloody dead!

Not only that, but being assured that I am male...and that I should change my bloody nicky...GLARGH! *ahem*

Heald, don't be sexist. That's what that little thingy next to my nick is for, see? *is peeved at missing a language battle* ><

*mauls Z from the grave* GRARH!

...and now...I leave! *drifts away on torn and tattered Daemon wings*

[Heald]

Sorry, I forgot using the English language correctly was sexist, since the first proper dictionary of the English language was written by Dr. Johnson, who was a man, and all men are sexist yada yada yada. Lord is generally a male term, just as Lady is generally a female term. I didn't write it, but it is written thus.

[Greyfox]

The sign implies that, no matter how "male-sounding" the user name, that the user is indeed female... well, unless they're pretending, and there's no reason to do that on a web forum unless you're trying to pull a Misty1...

[Plantae]

You are right Heald in case of the first, archaic definition.

I think she is referring to your not paying any attention to the modern definition (the second). I think we can all quite agree that the feudal system no longer exists, and so adding connotations of "male" or "female" to a title which is listed to have a plain androgynous definition of "an absolute ruler" is rather silly.

But spot-on... time for the death list.

It seems you have lynched yourselves another human. Oh well. Have a pleasant Moonshine III, cheerio.

[Heald]

Feudal?! Archaic?! I actually live in England and we still have Lords and Ladies and yes, only men are called Lords and only women are called Ladies! I refuse to sit here and have my country's political system insulted by a bunch of slack-jawed yahoos!

But in all seriousness, I hate our Lords and Ladys as much as the next guy. Damn unelected idiots blocking any decent legislation.

[Plantae]

I honestly apologize. I had forgotten about the United Kingdom's lords and ladies. Suffice to say there is a second definition, and since she is decidedly female, that was the one she was referring to.

But as for the rest of your political system... no one goes into Parliament with good intentions. And then there is Bliar...

Not to say the United States hasn't its own problems.

[Heald]

Don't worry, I'm not really being serious at all, I just don't like being called sexist when I'm clearly not.

Anyway, enough of the political mumbo-jumbo, this isn't the Misc. forum.

[Plantae]

I know you well enough to know you are not be entirely serious, Heald, sir. But I cannot help but take the happy moment to insult Blair.

And speak of archaic... that "happy" is "opportune." But yes, back to the game.

[Plantae]

Strange happenings and a double kill this Moonshine.

Will Sunshine IV be a massacre of its own?

[Zcade0]

NOOOO!!! I MISSED 2 TIMES!!!!! Oh well.... Lets see... Um... Hearold I curse only being on the computer once a day... I miss everything.... poo. btw, hearold was random, I don't really pay enough attention to figure out someone real, I'll bandwagon later.

BYE!

[The Blue Avenger]

What do you mean, "missed two times"?

[Vulpix.ck87]

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH! NOT AGAIN ><

*is a gracious loser*

[Plantae]

I think the real question is: "Who is Hearold?"

[Heald]

I think he means me because an old in-joke was that people used to misspell my name Herald. But anyway, Zcade0 seems to be the first person to post after each Moonshine in a flagrant attempt to profess his human-ness and this makes me suspicious. Anyone, I vote ZCade0, perhaps in revenge, but he does appear to be acting incredibly suspiciously.

[Magmar]

I vote Zcade0 because I still think something's fishy.

[Dark-San]

[b][size=3] Zcade0, simplest vote of all.

You spoke too soon and your intention is clearly to sow bad seeds and spark disorganisation among the players here.

[Zcade0]

By two times I ment I mised a sunshine and a moonshine, and why is everyone yelling at me? That is just the time I'm on the computer so if it is sunshine, I say something. If you check my postes, they are all basically within 1 or 2 hours of the same timeblock with the stray one later because I have some time after I eat. and srry to Heald, I thought it was herold, as in a kings herold. Srry, I'm to lazy to ever check anything.

[The Blue Avenger]

Everyone is yelling at you because they find you suspicious. Not to say that I disagree. I'm voting for Zcade.

[Plantae]

Goodbye.

Dead
Zcade0 - Daemon

Have a pleasant Moonshine IV?

[Plantae]

Another heathen human has fallen.

TheBlueAvenger - Witch

And with this, a new dawn comes.

[Zcade0]

Wahahahahahahaha!!! Why does everyone know I'm a bad guy all the time?? I was even active this time!!! Wahahahahahahahahaha! Oh well. *goes to munch on witches corpes*

[The Blue Avenger]

NOOOOOOOOO!

FOOLS! YOU CANNOT HOPE TO ESCAPE THE WITCHES' WRATH!

I'M MELTING, melting... oh what a world...

*cough* Right, see yas later, then. *heads to the afterlife*

[Plantae]

I have missed a dooming out.

Dead
Mega Horny - Theurge (Formerly Marked)

Continue.

[Heald]

Ace64. He's been too quiet since the other demons bit the bullet and he saved Zcade's hide earlier in the game by shifting the bandwagon, killing an innocent human in the process.

[Ace64]

Quiet? Just felt like taking a break from throwing votes out until I see a reason- instead of just following bandwagons. You went along without a word in voting out YT as well, remember?

Heald. Don't blame me because you followed the crowd.

[Magmar]

I'm going to also vote for Heald. I usually initiate votes.

[Green Lanturn]

Heh, might as well Tie things up, as I usually do.

Ace64.

[Plantae]

I apologize, but due to extenuating circumstances, this round must end early lest it not end until about fifteen hours from now.

Dead
Heald - Witch

So begins Moonshine V.

[Heald]

Wow, our plan cocked up. Surely it would've been fairer to let everyone vote? After all, this game is nearly over, 15 hours won't hurt none.

[Magmar]

In the rules for Axis Mundi, it says that a cycle is 15-20 hours, anyway. Ah well, you snooze, you lose.

[Ace64]

And by 'everyone', you mean Dark-San, right? To get the 3-2 vote, I'm guessing? Oh well.

[Heald]

Ah, the rules of Axis Mundi now apply to Witch Trials? Fair does.

Also, had the sunshine been a full day, as the previous five sunshines were, then yes, everyone would've been given a chance to vote. As it stands, because of time-zones and such forth certain people were unable to vote this sunshine due to its early finish, whereas normally they would've voted in time.

[Plantae]

Please read the times of both posts before you make a conjecture as to whether or not my length was fair.

I typically try to have a time limit of twenty hours which, I apologize, was not clearly stated in the Witch Trials rules of the game. But as they are similar in structure, one could assume the explicit statement of this in Axis Mundi would serve to give you an idea of how it would work. The fact that the previous half-cycles were longer than twenty-four hours was a lapse in attention on my part.

I am not inclined to believe giving you twenty-one hours and ten minutes is in any way "cutting it short." I apologize if it threw a wrench it anyone's plans... but it happens.

[Plantae]

The results of Moonshine:

Dead (respectively)
Dark-San - Witch
Green Lanturn - Green Man

Currently it is Sunshine VI but it may be short-lived.

[Magmar]

Well it's no surprise that I'm a Marked Daemon that has ascended to Mortal Daemon, and that Ace64 is the other Daemon. Since we're both daemons, can't we just ally and end the game as an alliance? I mean, it was our last-minute teamwork that killed the Witch and the Green Man. I'd rather not kill him.

[Ace64]

And, our abilities kind of prevent either of us dying in a tie this Sunshine.Kind of interesting, when you think about it. He escapes during a tie, but I pick the loser of a tie. Who wins?

[Plantae]

If the situation had arisen, I likely would have flipped a coin as if neither of you had an ability. But, since alliance has been formally corroborated, the game is now over.

Victory
Ace64 - Daemon
Magmar - Marked (Mortal Daemon)
