Oh, I didn't know they kept it past the night it was first summoned... wow, that's a pretty sweet summons. We need to make sure that we directly kill that thing two nights from now!

How did both Dawh AND SG both use the shield of Hephaestus?

I know you feel sick but, OMG what do you have that you must go to the hospital!? I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks itachi I suggest this as the final actions... but I am an indy, so I can't really make the final call. Odysseus Guesses: 1) Do Not Nullify- Diomedes will attack SG 2) Nullify Poseidon from attacking Ysan (they shouldn't know which summons is up, so I think this way may be safer) 3) Nullify Poseidon from attacking IDNE Summon: Prometheus -> Diomedes Era Vote: The Age of Heroes - Nearly the Present. No change to the Game Rules. Nestor Action: Boost Hades Nestor Summon: Priam Guesses: 1) Nullify Poseidon summons Apollo 2) Nullify Mnemosyne Nullifying one of IDNE's guesses Era Vote: The Age of Heroes - Nearly the Present. No change to the Game Rules. Hades Action: Targets Dawh Hades Summon: Agenor to protect PT Era Vote: The Age of Heroes - Nearly the Present. No change to the Game Rules. All of poseidon's targets are neutralized (except for me, Hades. but I have the 50% safety thing) so it may be better for me to make a successful attack against someone else

Really? we can't take out his summons directly while at the same time taking his life? Can we get a clarification on this itachi?

EDIT: nvm, you got'em covered, thanks With those new answers.... Odysseus Guesses: 1) Do Not Nullify- Diomedes will attack SG 2) Nullify Poseidon from attacking IDNE 3) Nullify Poseidon from attacking Ysan Summon: Prometheus -> Diomedes Era Vote: The Age of Heroes - Nearly the Present. No change to the Game Rules. Nestor Action: Boost Hades Nestor Summon: Priam Guesses: 1) Nullify Poseidon summons Apollo 2) Nullify Mnemosyne Nullifying one of IDNE's guesses Era Vote: The Age of Heroes - Nearly the Present. No change to the Game Rules. Hades Action: Targets SG Hades Summon: Agenor to protect PT Era Vote: The Age of Heroes - Nearly the Present. No change to the Game Rules.

Working on a few new things... BTW, who is Dawh? Odysseus Guesses: 1) Do Not Nullify- Diomedes will attack SG 2) Nullify Zeus from Nullifying Diomes' summoning of Cottus <-still subject to change. If pointless, then 'nullify Poseidon from attacking Ysan' 3) Nullify Poseidon from attacking IDNE Summon: Prometheus -> Diomedes Era Vote: The Age of Heroes - Nearly the Present. No change to the Game Rules. Nestor Action: Boost Hades Nestor Summon: Priam Guesses: 1) Nullify Poseidon summons Apollo 2) Nullify Mnemosyne Nullifying one of IDNE's guesses Era Vote: The Age of Heroes - Nearly the Present. No change to the Game Rules. Hades Action: Targets SG Hades Summon: Agenor to protect PT Era Vote: The Age of Heroes - Nearly the Present. No change to the Game Rules. itachi: When someone is sacrificed, and the Nyx returns the use of the of a certain summons (as Zeus got Hermes back) does Diomedes have that summons taken away? Or do both Zeus AND Diomedes have use of Hermes now?

Odysseus Guesses: 1) Nullify- Poseidon summons Apollo 2) Do Not Nullify- Diomedes will attack SG (since we know he will do that, but we do not know his summons) 3) Nullify Zeus from Nullifying Diomes' summoning of Cottus <-subject to change depending on Itachi's answer Summon: Prometheus -> Diomedes Era Vote: The Age of Heroes - Nearly the Present. No change to the Game Rules. Nestor Action: Boost Hades Nestor Summon: Priam Guesses: 1) 2) Era Vote: The Age of Heroes - Nearly the Present. No change to the Game Rules. Hades Action: Targets SG (since SG has himself and a summons remaining, it would be best if both myself AND Diomedes attack him) Hades Summon: Agenor to protect PT (The siren is gone) Era Vote: The Age of Heroes - Nearly the Present. No change to the Game Rules. itachi, does Agenor protect players from being nullified? (in the last game, a save was able to prevent medusa from blocking directly players... does this also work against zeus' guess-blocks?) If so, does it also protect someone's ability to summon? (not protect the summon itself, but prevent the initial summoning action from being blocked) If those answers go the way I am expecting them to, then we just opened up an additional 2-3 guesses that we can use to MAKE SURE the attacks against SG are successful.

Hey guys... WTF is going on?

Some of my thoughts... Odysseus Guesses: 1) Nullify- Poseidon attacks _______ (may be better to just try to block Poseidon directly instead of the boost) 2) Do Not Nullify- Diomedes will summon Cottus (I dunno if he has told us his most recent action) 3) Nullify Zeus from Nullifying Diomes' summoning of Cottus Summon: Prometheus -> Diomedes Era Vote: The Age of Heroes - Nearly the Present. No change to the Game Rules. Nestor Action: Boost Hades Nestor Summon: Priam Guesses: 1) Aphrodite will target Y-san 2) Zeus will nullify Diomedes from attacking _______ Era Vote: The Age of Heroes - Nearly the Present. No change to the Game Rules. Hades Action: Targets SG Hades Summon: ________ Era Vote: The Age of Heroes - Nearly the Present. No change to the Game Rules. What are your thoughts?

yeah yeah yeah, sure... at least I had a few moments of entertainment in awaiting the results

nobody likes me....

Now I can get a little bit of a kick out of this!

If I want to offer my vote, I will offer it... But today, I'd prefer to just amuse myself by playing the game of chance... At least there's some sort of entertainment value for me. Roster: 1) Brandonb - voting for IDNE 2) dawh - voting for Impervious 3) grey cells - voting for Impervious 4) IDNE - voting for IDNE 5) Impervious - voting for Impervious 6) Kat - voting for Star Tiger 7) Prof. Templeton voting for IDNE 8) SomeGuy - voting for Impervious 9) star tiger 10) Y-San - voting for IDNE

OH, btw... I think I remember you all saying something about using the Vigenere cipher? This could help immensely to speed up the process.

Actually, I wouldn't be AT ALL surprised if he is only pretending to have cracked the code, so that they will not pass any more secret messages

yeah... that would out me.

Well the only reason Briars would have been blocked was if they were attempting to use Ares... So we will not seeing Ares again for at least 3 days So what's the plan with Today's lynch vote? If I do not vote with Impervious (per his request) I will be outed as Hades.

OK, these are my suggestions: Diomedes is attacking someguy.... Odysseus Guesses: 1) Nullify- Zeus will use Hermes to send a message to Aphrodite 2) Do Not Nullify- Diomedes will target SomeGuy 3) Do Not Nullify- Diomedes will summon Briares Summon: Oceanus-> Diomedes Era Vote: n/a Nestor Action: Boost Achilles Nestor Summon: Agamemnon Guesses: 1)Aphrodite will target Y-san 2)Poseidon will target Y-san Era Vote: n/a Hades Action: Target Ares Hades Summon: Achilles-> Hermes Era Vote: n/a What about this? It spreads it out a little more. Diomedes has his 50/50 against Aphrodite, and I have my 50/50 against Ares (if he dies, that give PT a freebee summoning to sacrifice without loss).

I like the previous version better. Tonight is Nyx, and this is just overkill. bbl... grrrr I wish I wasn't so busy

Oh, I didn't know Aphro was out of summons! There's no way I would ever have Diomedes attack her. It's pretty much a certainty that Zeus will be blocking Hades and Diomedes from attacking her tonight. The only real chance (without getting into wasting nullifications) would be to have one of the Hades' boosted summons attack her. I believe that the Hermes attack will be expected. So I believe Aphro will probably be protecting him b/c they MUST keep Hermes if they are going to be recruiting Indy players. I just wish it wasn't too late to get Diomedes to attack a different target (hermes if you really wanted to push it).

Hey, sorry. I haven't had much time lately and all of my gaming efforts have been going into VNA since this game was put on a 48hr delay. Now, finally getting around to posting what I have spent the passed couple days assembling... OK, I finally have a decent amount of time to respond in a good manner... My thoughts are that all game long I have been thinking that taking out the opponent's method of recruitment (Hermes/Oceanus) through a direct attack should have always been the #1 priority. Because of this, I feel confident that we are wasting time if we attack Hermes directly. The reason I did relatively well that last game is because I stopped trying to take out the enemy's life lines. It's too predictable. The enemy has a big freaking shield that he is holding in his dominant right hand... protecting his entire torso. So we could constantly keep whacking at his right hand hoping to get a good shot in, OR instead, we cut off his left and let him bleed out for a while. If we are going to take shots (with the very few that we have), we need them to be unexpected. Namely, we concentrate on directly taking out summonings. To start with, I would suggest taking out Impy's lesser summons, this will make it much more costly for them to recruit players when he runs very low on summons to sacrifice. Instead they will begin sacrificing eachother's... making them weaker as a whole. However, we have already sent out our message to Diomedes, and have chosen to boost his attack on SG (if he was going after her, he should have been targeting Eros directly). So we cannot begin this plan tonight unless instead we boosted one of my attack summons (less likely to be blocked or nulled) and then I attack using my reg attack. But then again, this being the Nyx night and all... it may not be a great time to do much of anything. I think it's safe to assume that whether they believe that Ysan is Hades, or that I am Hades, they will be targeting one of us with Aphrodite's nullification. More too add later... now... lemme check the most recent actions you two have been working on... bbl

when was he recruited?

Hey, sorry for being inactive (I will be a little inactive for the next few days) So what's the plan? Odysseus Guesses: 1) 2) 3) Odysseus Summons: Era Vote: n/a Nestor Action: Nestor Summons: Era Vote: n/a Hades Action: Hades Summons: Era Vote: n/a I'm used to laying out all preliminary actions first, then discussing how to tweak them. I will happily fill it all out with my suggestions fr discussion... but I do not know which Summons were sacrificed to achieve my recruitment.

Hello... And sorry for stressing you out yesterday with my vote. I just want to come across as neutral as possible.
