Artemisia

Four points for wolbre.

Civs did really well here. That is a pretty brutal scum team to contend with and there was a period early in the game where they were all cooked.

Of course, the scum team won and for that they get

The sacking of Sardis

Athens and Eretria, the Ionians all joined up

and burned up Sardis like a sardine

This is more what I am looking for. The Athenians reinforced and supplied the Ionian revolts.

Five points for wolbre.

Rip your wifi sloonei

Six points for wolbre. This guarantees him a majority of ten possible points, and so he is the pop quiz champion.

I think you'll find it is actually Frank Miller's account most scholars treat as the definitive work on the period

I meant that it's Herodotus's primary claim to fame as opposed to he's the primary authority (in the modern era he definitely is not).

For a second I read Frank Miller as Arthur Miller. I’d read that.

I was set to fall on the sword on Day 2. I never expected to make it to the end of this game

Congrats, Wolbre, on the quiz (and the ass class win). You're one of the best new players I've seen around in a while. Can't wait to play more with you!

Thanks! Excited to play with y'all more too

1) Congrats are due to Sloonei, dunya and speed for some of the best scum play I’ve ever been privvy to. Sloonei wriggling out of it when he did especially means I will never trust him again!

2) Kudos to town for lynching me when they did; I still disagree pretty solidly with the rationale, but it worked so it obviously wasn’t that bad. You guys gave us a lot of scares and got closer than I would have liked pretty much the whole game.

3) The next time I have the chance to vote off wagon again, you better BELIEVE I’m doing it, regardless of what team I’m on!

Notable: this was novaselinenever's first Syndicate win in 9 tries. Great to see him get off the run of bad luck.

That's one of those things where you'll get lynched as town 5 times before anyone believes it isn't alignment indicative, since it caught you once

thanks the banner. i have quite a few of them but sigs are the worst. #teamneverputasig

oh did I win? man Im good

I thought it was a good one all things considered.
I still miss the original rym mafia. This is more typical mafia sure but RYM mafia was something special.

Sorry I tried to lynch you, coitus.
also sorry your name became coitus.

Your welcome for that, Coitus

hey [mention]novaselinenever[/mention], did you have any guesses who the scum team was

I had suspicions of Colin and Sloonei during the first cycle (D1, N1), but that was it. I figured you out only way later when you refused to talk about me. My push on Colin was genuine, because I was initially thinking about joining Town lol. It was ironic how it was perceived as bussing after I had sided with Mafia. After his lynch, I had a change of heart about my allegiance and then dropped my read on Sloonei. I had a strong feeling he was my buddy
