Dark Souls 2 Day One – Welcome to Majula Somewhere, in a verdant forest filled with the forms of fallen giants, the Chosen undead goes to war. With a found sword, the Chosen cuts through the undead soldiers – still loyal, even in death, to the remains of their fallen king – on the way to a final showdown with the last of the living Giants.
The Chosen approaches a bonfire – a strange bonfire, tucked in the entrance hall of a crumbling tower buried in the deepest corner of the forest. At the same moment, though they do not know it, a strange gathering collects near another bonfire miles away. To the town of Majula they have come: sorcerers and knights, thieves and assassins, explorers and guides. It is they who will determine the fate of the Chosen Undead – and indeed, the future of the kingdom of Drangleic.
But they must settle with one another first. Fortunately, Majula is constructed on a cliff – a great cliff, overlooking the sea across which Drangleic’s king once sailed. And, equally fortunate (except perhaps for the loser of the coming day’s dark vote), though many rules have been suspended in Drangleic of late, gravity still works perfectly well.--- Day One begins here, and will end one week from today: on Thursday, August 14, at 12:30PM (Eastern Time).

Vote: Gravity
An obvious PFK alignment, if the color is to believed.

"You're... Undead, aren't you? You have that distinct scent. The smell of irreversible fate... This is Majula, it is a kind of settlement; a place where life is, almost, normal. And in Drangleic these days, there are very few places like that."

I am going on a short family trip today and won't be around much this weekend. I'll be back well before the end of Day, though.

Well, let's get this ball rolling.... I would rather not vote for gravity... Did Plankton check in? I checked in, and I'm here now...but I'm still waiting on a Role PM so I know which of you I can trust. I've PM'ed story both here and on the Dope (in case something is borked on this site), so hopefully we'll get things resolved soon. In the meantime, I'll just assume that I'm the only bright spot in the universe, and the rest of you are all demon-spawn; that should serve for now. Apologies in advance for any tire marks I leave on any teammates' backs.

Well, I am here, but I am not really sure what to talk about. I don't have any little clues to drop about my identity this time. Anyone have a good topic for discussion?

Merchants, if any, and if they have unlimited soapstone, are invited to do their dirty dealings in private. Based on the last game, caveat emptor...
I must admit to being a little surprised to have received zero PMs in the first game, having an extremely limited number of soapstones I suppose I shouldn't complain but I guess part of my annoyance with Mahaloth was due to my missing out on the entire side game - assuming there was one.
I like the new two-tier powers, I had little reason to heal myself in the last game as long as I had access to armor. I also like the split of souls across both kill events.
What happens if multiple people attempt to kill a player in the same period?
I don't understand the bit about not filtering messages through moderators, how will they know to deduct a soapstone? Or does it mean send directly to recipient with mods in cc, rather than sending to mods expecting them to forward the message?

1. It's complicated.
1A. But broadly speaking, the first kill would hollow the target and the second would finish him or her off (assuming no other powers or actions intervene).
2. The latter. Just CC me and send your PM directly to the other player; don't send me a message to send to another player.

I dealt with some stuff since April, suffice to say it Led me to think my Mafia play, among other things. I'm glad you guys got the joke. I would love to hear Cookies comment on it. Vote: Cookiesor rather not. Her comment on the "Meeko Decoder Ring" pings. You could say it's a grudge, or a meta game vote. You could say that, you'd be wrong. Cookies has used this tactic before and gained from it: Tell Meeko no one understands him, an he'll obsess over it, to his derriement, and allow me to play all over him. It has been done to me by Cookies in the past, and I already see the patern emerge here. I'm stopping it cold.

I think you're still making sense Meeko. It seems common for players to pile up on you by saying they don't understand something you've said, so you could easily be made a target by the baddies in that way.
Suburban, if in fact you are the only bright spot in the universe, then your role PM is not going to tell you who you can trust.

Unvote: swamer Vote: mentalguyyou could come up with something to talk about? why don't you start us off? For what it's worth, I saw the vote, and due to the lack of reason or explanation, I figured it was exactly this brand of random vote. That is, I saw the vote, and immediately put this reasoning to it, on my own. If I had attacked it, would it have changed anything? Probably not. The secret formula, to getting your vote attacked, is to actually give a reason for the vote in the first place. Ahem.

All I said was that his reasoning was understandable. If I had thought it was a valid vote then I would have followed suit. It's not valid to say that something is understandable?
