The third night of the Convergence found most of the Ascendants cowering in their homes. The previous dusk, one of their number had ambushed Anomander Rake, and now Dragnipur was in the hands of a total unknown. And now the one known as Drain Bead had threatened to unleash a terrible power this night.
As the night wore on, some began to doubt the veracity of Drain Bead's claim. No warrens had been opened. No conjuration had been attempted. The bravest of the Ascendants had just begun to venture out into the Night when they all heard a thousand terrible screams echoing in the distance.
Within ten minutes, the Ascendants had found themselves at the centre of a nightmare. An veritable army of bhokarala had invaded their city, wreaking havoc. The Ascendants winced at their ear-splitting shrieks and the sounds of breaking glass. Those foolish enough to chance peeking out of a window or doorway found themselves bombarded with mud, feces, and whatever else the bhokarala found at hand.
It should have been impossible. Bhokarala aren't even native to Assail. But come they had, answering the summons of their insane god.
This ends the third day of the Malazan Game of the Fallen.

@ Bill, you seem to believe the quoted snippet of your conversations with Total is evidence that she is the MotDoD. Can you please share the context with the rest of us so we can decide for ourselves how incriminating this secret is?

I don't seem to believe anything. I know she is the MotDD.
The most incriminating evidence will be Mahaloth's Sword. Who ever has it has some explaining to on how they came into its possession.

OK, you know she is the MotDoD. I don't know that.
The most incriminating piece of evidence may well be the sword but, until that person pops in and explains, can you share any slightly less incriminating evidence? You were pretty confident that Total was guilty yesterDay, before Mahaloth was killed and his sword was taken.

Oh well, if that's all you need, then I have a cunning plan. OK EVERYBODY, LISTEN UP. I'm looking to purchase one long-bladed sword. It's big, it's pointy, and it used to belong to that day-killing scum called Mahaloth. I will accept no substitutions and no imitations. Only genuine day-killers' swords here. And how much am I willing to pay for this trifle? FIFTY virtual dollars? What do you think I am, a cheapskate? A HUNDRED virtual dollars then? TWO hundred virtual dollars? THREE hundred virtual dollars? FIVE hundred virtual dollars even? NO! I, Moley, will pay you ONE THOUSAND... wait... ONE MILLION VIRTUAL DOLLARS for Mahaloth's sword. ONE MILLION VIRTUAL DOLLARS, PEOPLE. And as an added bonus I will even throw in THE INTERNET. I can't give it to you on disk, but send me the sword and you will be able to access it, the whole thing**, through this tool called a "browser". Seriously, HOW CAN IT GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT?So send me Mahaloth's sword TODAY!!!**Except for the parts you pay for. But really, those parts are just a load of pictures / videos of naked people, and who'd be interested in that?

A "friend" of mine came up with a plan for me to help figuring out who the MoDD is. I'm more than willing at this point to share some of the results from Night 1-3 and also if others would post their names in this thread/other threads/PM it to me, I'd be more than happy to help us all get more data from this mess. I'm very close to voting Bill - not because I know anymore about him than others. But he really seem to want to get rid of me. Now that is one big threat to my personally wincon

You were pretty confident that Total was guilty yesterDay, before Mahaloth was killed and his sword was taken. yes and I posted why I think that and indeed, we could have cleared this whole thing up last night either by investigation or death, but drain appears to have put a stop to that.

quick question, bill.
yesterday you had like this super hard on for story even ending the Day with your vote on him.
but then right after Day end you announce that ulla is the motd.
i am just curious about the timing. i mean if you knew that ulla was motd why were you voting story.
plus i still don't get that whole post. i still don't get how if she is the motd that she would have any fear of herself even if it was secondary to me and maha and apparantly ulla as well.
so it seems most likely that maha died because of his targeting of drain than any other reason. and it also appears that you and her were working together.

Well certain folks had already made is quite clear that even if I named the MotDD they still wouldn't vote that way no matter who it was. So no point revealling that information at that time. As we have already established, neither Story or Cap were any threat to the Ascendents with their non-exclusive win, yet the meta-clan was quite happy to go after Cap despite knowing Story was HoC as well. I think it brought things into the open as to where folks loyalties lay. As I stated to Story, and in the night thread, kill or investigate Total to clear it up -- but Drain prevented any of that. As Story has already confirmed, there is only one HoC left. And he is it. So I am not HoC. If I was the MotDD then it would be pretty stupid of me to go after Total so hard, as if she flipped Ascendent then I would be dead pdq after that. So I am an Ascendent. Why would I go after another Ascendent so hard? If they had a great power that threatened me - but a name investigator? Nothing to fear from my name. plus i still don't get that whole post. i still don't get how if she is the motd that she would have any fear of herself even if it was secondary to me and maha and apparantly ulla as well. Total feared Maha and you. Total did not appear to fear the MotDD. The only player not threatened by the MotDD is the MotDD themselves. Total is the MotDD so it seems most likely that maha died because of his targeting of drain than any other reason. and it also appears that you and her were working together. Since you didn't redirect Mahaloth back on himself - say Story, and Mahaloth didn't think you would interfere, then you are implying that Drain somehow killed Mahaloth.

I've read it all (gosh, you talk a lot about me) - but must have missed it somehow... What is the little secret that I revealled in the main thread that I should have kept secret longer? I won't ask you about the side bet with Peeker, as you know you would lose that.

He could also be implying that someone else somehow intervened on my behalf. Clearly some crazy shit went down yesterDay. I think the only person who understands it is the one who was responsible for it, whoever that is.

vote storyteller
I am very confident that story is a member of the HoC. I am not confident that Total is the MotDoD. In fact, the whole Bill vs Total exchange feels to me like it's manufactured to distract us from eliminating HoC members.
I'd rather lynch a known threat than chasing a possibility based on one player's accusation.

Do you deny that you're a HoC? I neither deny nor confirm that, at least not to you. You have been singly focused on the subject of getting rid of me since literally Day One. You have directed all your efforts toward this narrow goal. You have at least twice, and probably thrice, attempted to use your power on me. You are manifestly not on my side. Why in the world would I give you any information about my role? I know that she didn't vote for me yesterDay, and I know a bunch of folks who did. In this game, that is important. Without reference to my own identity, your single-minded focus on HoC as the boogeyman has been a major problem with your view of this game. If you can't see the answer to your own question, I can only refer you to your own win condition and suggest you give it some more thought.

You have been singly focused on the subject of getting rid of me since literally Day One. This false statement shows how duplicitous storyteller is. On Day One I was focused on lynching Special Ed. It was only because of storyteller's unprovoked attack on me that I switched focus to him on Night One: Sure, why not? I am neither the Master of the Deck of Dragons nor am I a member of the House of Chains. Now. My vote is for luvbwfc. This is nothing personal, luv, and frankly I'd rather keep you alive because I think your power and your gameplay would both be useful in a Clan. But right now it's down to you or Special Ed, and for a variety of reasons, I would prefer that Special Ed remain alive. On the basis of a variety of private and semi-private discussions, I think that there are a fair number of players who should feel similarly, by the way, and openly encourage them to think carefully before they vote to eliminate Ed at this time. ----- If I were voting earlier in the Day - and in the future, I will be, because unlike in a normal game the real action in this game is always going to be early in the Day as bandwagons form quickly and forcefully - I would be voting for Pleonast. If I thought I could swing a lynch fo Pleo in the time remaining, I would, in fact, vote for him. Here's why: Pleo has always been a player who plays a very individual game; this is a bit unfair, as it relies on previous experience, but it can't be avoided. He likes big gambits and risks, and is utterly unpredictable. He might do literally anything, if he perceives it to have benefit for his own game. This is not a good thing in this particular game, since none of us can be sure of his alignment - ever. Worse still, his power is not one that I particularly want to have around later in the game. The ability to cancel a vote basically grants whatever Clan he chooses as his primary an automatic victory should he survive until there are 8 or so players remaining, and while this would be a nice thing if he ends up on my side the odds are much better that he will not. So, to sum up: Voting for luv for strategic reasons, but will switch to Pleonast enthusiastically if there is any support for that idea. Also note his claim at the top of that post, "nor am I a member of the House of Chains". Now he's no longer willing to confirm that statement. Who's willing to trust story when he's not even willing to back the truth of his own statements?

Who's willing to trust story when he's not even willing to back the truth of his own statements? Where you make your sad mistake is assuming that what I will tell you reflects what I will and have told others. I won't confirm anything to you. If anyone else is interested, private message is still turned on, I think. I am specifically unwilling to provide any information to Pleonast that he can use against me or my allies; with others, I will generally share (degree of willingness directly correlated with degree to which you have tried to kill me or get me killed).
