So Jacques de Molay was the last grand master of the Knights Templar and was executed by King Philip IV of France in 1314, bringing to an end the order of Templars.

The message we have been given of "Jacques de Molay' tu seres venge" roughly translates to:

Jacques de Molay, you will be avenged

It would seem likely that we are lookinging at an attempt to re-establish the Knights Templar and the books shared below may help us to understand our foe.

I'm beginning to think that The Guv may have played Assassin's Creed: Unity...

Could all Mayoral candidates confirm or deny if they are willing to be submerged in the Etang tomorrow after being elected today?

More than happy to take the plunge tomorrow and indeed I'd encourage tomorrow's mayor to put me in so you can be sure of my good intentions with regards to the set up of the pool today.

I think a good setup would be to make an initial short list of 5 people and then if there are any freedom fighters in the initial list then we can rotate new people in/out two at a time as whenever we get a switch in color from that point on it should narrow down our options to a 50/50.

it depends a bit on how many daily kills there are other than the guillotine, but this is a bad idea

Well, since we can't use the etang today, it gives us the chance to see how many get killed during the night and whether such a plan would be feasable.

What we need are 5 players to come forward and volunteer to go in the erm, thingy.
If we get 5 that go in and don't trigger the machine we have a base to work from.
I'd happily go in.

Isn't it very likely with 30ish players that a wrong'un will have posted on the first page anyway? I'd be stunned if that wasn't the case. You'd probably get a similar hit rate by collating the players that didn't post on the first page tbh.

Gouverneur, what time is the Bourreau voting deadline?

I don't mind going in the thingy machine, if we're looking for volunteers

i am happy to be etanged

anyone who isnt is suspicious tbh

32 players, minus 1 for t odays guillotine and well lose at least 1 from night kills

that means 30 players when the etang is in play

meaning we can semi seer everyone in the game in six days

if we waste days putting repeats in the etang it gives the ffs chance to evade being killed and waste our time

there is victory in death remember

best endgame scenario for us is being in a position where the players all know the subgroups in which the ffs lie

lol just realised ffs not the best way to refer to freedom fighters. ffs

Mayor Ballot:
Ryan Reynolds - Guillotine Dev Patel
2 - Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer

Brad Pitt - Guillotine Unknown
1 - Brad Pitt

Since Zendaya has appeared and is posting im just going to update my target to the next person who hasn't made an account, Dev Patel. Think Kate Winslet is up after that.

Do you have a better plan for the etang Karen?
Edit: Nvm thats a decent idea tbf

I will gladly strip to my undergarments and plunge my supple, ripe body into the mysterious waters. Anything for King Louis, he's such a hunk

I think this might be too simplistic.

Let us say, for example, five individuals go into the Etang tomorrow and it glows red. We then know that at least one of the five is a FF, we then would need to spend days working the guillotine on those five until we snare a bad guy. Then it becomes a case of, "we got one, are there any other bad guys in that group?" etc. This is not going to be as cut and dry as it first appears.

Time to role claim

Please don't update your platform without removing the votes. This is very egregious. You could be a freedom fighter with Zendaya on your team, put her up for the lynch while nagging her to make her account. Then you swap to someone else and suspicions are allayed.

Removing my vote from you because I don't like that you swapped candidate, didn't inform me and kept my vote.

Officially the vote is just for the mayor, so I don't think your vote is removed unless you remove it yourself.

Just catching up. My partner will not be happy if I am spending my Valentine's evening on GR, so I am unlikely to be about after work hours.

Would it be fair to conclude that there are no/minimal seer functions in this game? The river seems to perform that role. So assumedly the Alpha Freedom Fighter can be dipped without setting off the river?

Apologies all for my tardiness, had a bit of a mishap with the boat I was arriving on.

The Etang seems like an interesting mechanic. Ideally we want to get 5 confirmed loyal citizens as early as possible as we can then test others with more confidence.

True, but I don't want to encourage bait and switching the platforms.

My bad, you stated you were happy with going for inactives so I assumed you'd still be on board.

Oddly strong response though. My ballot was always to go for an inactive on the basis they're not helping the 40% lynch majority so since Zendaya has arrived and started posting it makes sense to update to the next on the list.
