Dark Souls 2 Night Five – Undead Purgatory The reckoning comes for Suburban Plankton at a stone gate in the heart of a dark forest. They have followed the Chosen a long way to reach this place, through an impossibly dark forest guarded by unholy, stitched-together abominations with curved swords and strangely beautiful, toxic insects. Somewhere along the line, they have lost track of the Chosen. Suddenly rudderless, the strange company travels through a deadly valley and across a decaying bridge to reach what appears to be a giant, oval stadium, with an enclosed track traveling its circumference. From within is the sound of what might be thunder.
There they seize upon Plankton. He does not argue or fight. In fact, a few of them notice curiously, he seems not to have moved at all for some Days now. He stands utterly motionless, a strange engraved staff raised slightly along with a single sardonic eyebrow. With a collective shrug, they lift Plankton and place him just inside the gate, then retreat.
Around the track comes the lone resident of this place: a demonic horse, standing twice as high as the tallest among them, snorting sulfur as it sprints eternally. The beast is hitched to an enormous chariot the wheels of which have been fitted with dozens of blades. The squeamish among them look away as it bears down on Plankton, but they needn’t bother; by the time the horse and chariot have passed, only a fine mist remains.
Suburban Plankton, who was Straid of Olphais, part of the Dragon Remnant Covenant (Hostile), has been lynched.
As they walk back across the bridge, Bufftabby narrowly avoids stepping on a loose board and plunging onto the deadly rocks below. Then somebody pushes her over the side. When she makes it back to camp, she is waterlogged, irritated, and quite a bit deader than before.
Bufftabby is now HOLLOW. --- Night Five begins here, and will end at 12:30PM on Saturday, September 13. I have made a few more modest tweaks to the game under the hood to ensure that it does, in fact, end at some point; I do not believe that these will affect the balance of what remains. Also, a few players have been totally nonparticipatory for some time; if this persists beyond Night Five, the modkills will commence.

Okay so good result...
To go back to yesterday's conversation, you will have to forgive me. I'm in RL hell right now with school starting. I'm on the PTA executive board doing all of their web and technology, and my brain is full of mush and arguments of why one committee can post a Paypal link, but another can't. Holy hell and then I send out the weekly newsletter, and they send 50,000 changes all at the last minute. So my mind isn't all there, which is why I asked for a recap of the Suburban voters.
I went back and looked (now) and no, now that you reminded me, the situation hasn't changed. I was working off of the current scenerio, because that's really all I can manage mentally right now. Ugh. I need a second person.
<vent over>

Dizzy needs to go next I think. maybe not. that assumes she was protecting him and she is in also a member of that covenant. if the Rats are traditional scum, having three members for the other hostile group seems large. just had a thought that perhaps one group has the Night kill and the other is a Day kill.

If that is the case, maybe one group is dead? I don't think we have had a night death since Patricia and Chameleon died?

I am confused by these statements. Why would you assume that dizzy was protecting Bill? Did I miss something important here? gnarly do you have knowledge that dizzy visited Bill on the Day he died?

by the way does the attack on bufftabby indicate that she is town and her attacker hostile?

I'm afraid I budgeted poorly (or expected to be Killed before now : and am now almost completely out of Toys. I hope some friendly Townie has a white soapstone or two to spare that they can gift to me. (I'd also like souls so I can use my Power again, but I realize that's too much to hope for. Maybe it's better to be soul-less and hence Vanilla -- Scum have no reason to Kill me now.)

Given Colby's result of wotb on Bufftabby, and Sinjin's information that no recruitments have taken place, I don't see why a non-hostile player would attack her. swammerdami, did you heal yourself or did someone heal you last Night? As for the kills, I have: Day attacks D1 - Patricia was poisoned D2 - Bill was attacked D3 - Bill was attacked and killed D4 - MentalGuy was attacked and killed D5 - Bufftabby was attacked Night attacks N1 - Guiri was attacked by Chameleon (hostile) N2 - Patricia was attacked by a merchant (Suburban?) N3 - Swammerdami and MentalGuy were attacked We only see the poison once, there's a single Day (successful?) attack every Day since. At Night there was a single attack Night 1 by Chameleon, another attacked Night 2 -supposedly not Chameleon but maybe another dragon, and then two attacks Night 3, after Chameleon had been lynched, indicating at least one additional attacker although with unclear alignment given that both targets are/were pilgrims. Suburban's inactivity may be related to the lack of Night attacks since then.

I was healed AND blocked last Night, by unidentified Player(s). I also attempted to use my Power, which is why I assume I'm now almost out of Souls. Again, I may be grasping at straw, but I assume it was one Player and the same Player who did this to you.
(Perhaps the Blocking also Blocks my loss of souls? I don't know and storyteller hasn't kept me up to date.)

BTW, I received no additional info from Storyteller regarding the nature of my hollowing.

Did I miss something important here? gnarly do you have knowledge that dizzy visited Bill on the Day he died? i see i was unclear with my use of my pronouns. the 'him' i was referring to was Suburban . And I explained I most certainly DID NOT try to save Suburban. I voted him the day before as Guiri pointed out, all I was doing was aski for clarification since 4 people in a row voted him without any reason. I've been super crazy busy and couldn't go back and refresh my memory and I thought it was odd. I almost always readd my reasoning for voting people on subsequent days. I fully explained my confusion above. I'm really struggling in real life right now, and I snuck away from my anniversary trip to post now.
