Sorry, paleonaps, but I used the exact same reasoning as Paradox. :/

Really? You know, it's supposed to be the ASSASSINATOR'S fault that I die.
I accused EAST.

Gee thanks. I assure you it's not me. Of course, I would say that even if I was the assassinator.

Well, the little problem of an intermediary has been solved. We had a short meeting with starpug, and we voted. The choices were simple:

1. Live and continue to act as a middleman, or
2. DIE, and let the assassins return.

Needless to say, starpug was outvoted 2-1, and was quickly disembowled with a spoon. It was very slow and painful, just like the torture he had placed on this game. Fear not, we shall be managing this personally from now on, and not through some "middleman".

Now, since this game last left off, we were waiting on a vote. Well, the result of that vote was quite hilarious, as paleonaps was somehow thought to be the assassinator. No matter how much he yelled at the stake before you burned him alive, it doesn't change the fact that he is not one of us.

Also, I think it is prudent to note that the victim of the kill clue was not protected either. lllazar was sitting quitely on his bed, studying for his events. Little did he know, we were waiting outside his window. We rushed him, and before the book he was reading hit the ground, he was dead. As for the explanation for the clue, it will come later.

We are now introducing a new role in this game, the "Judge". As judge, one player will be sent the same accusation pm's that are sent to the assassinator account. They will act as a supervisor, making sure the winner of the vote gets their just rewards, not whomever we, the assassinators, think should die. This is only to keep it fair for everyone. That judge will be the first person to PM this account.

And now to continue our reign of terror, I present you with another set of clues.

Woohoo! I think this game will be much more fun now that the mediator is gone. Sorry starpug, but I think this will be a bit better! :D

EDIT: Hold on, isn't it possible that you claim that the first person to PM the account is, in fact, one of the Assassinators? We would never know, and you can still claim that someone dies, even if they were't the one voted on. How can we be sure that this isn't happening?

It will be the duty of the Assassinator to take responsibility, and assign someone other than him/herself the position

Also, the judge position has been assigned to brobo, who beat fmtiger124 by 4 minutes.

Suddenly, I'm fearful for the game. starpug may have some crazy ideas, but I think I can trust him to not do anything illegal. Most of the time...

But all of the sudden, there is no mediator, only a "judge" who may be one of the assassinators, and it seems we don't have any control over the game. Suppose we do correctly guess an assassin? What if brobo is working with them? What if they chose brobo for that purpose? (No offense brobo, but you can be easily bought... :| )Without the mediator, this game is suddenly on the brink. The two of you who did this, I urge you to return power back to starpug.

This wasn't torture, it was a fresh idea, and you could honestly have given him some respect by letting it play out. I'm ashamed of both of you.
