[Legate of Amon Lanc]

In case anybody was starting to think that there is too little adrenaline in this game nowadays, here comes the second special event.

You have been all locked in the sacrificial chamber. It is necessary that you sacrifice one of your own to open the door and get out of the place, otherwise you all die here without oxygen. After you get out, though, you will lynch one person as usual. That means technically two "lynches" toDay.

In addition to the normal lynch vote, you get the chance to vote somebody for sacrifice toDay. Each player has one sacrifice vote. The vote is cast similarly to the normal one, but highlighted (you highlight a piece of text by writing [ highlight ]THE TEXT YOU ARE HIGHLIGHTING[ /highlight ] without spaces inside the brackets), like this:

++sacrifice Legate of Amon Lanc

You can choose not to cast your lynch vote for toDay, if you wish, and instead cast only your sacrifice vote (it both counts as if you have voted toDay for the purposes of having to vote). You can even choose to go for no-lynch toDay and only for the sacrifice, by voting thus:

++no lynch

just as if you were voting for a person. If there are more "no lynch" votes in total than lynch votes for any other person, no lynch is going to be made. (But the same cannot be done for sacrifice.)

The votes are in absolutely no relation to each other, i.e. it is like two totally separate lynches going on at the same time, not influencing each other at all. If the same person is voted for both sacrifice and lynch, he/she is going to be sacrificed (sacrifice takes priority) and the second person with the most lynch votes is going to be lynched (it can even be a "no lynch"). If there are lynch votes only for one person (if the voting was unambiguous) and the person is sacrificed first, there will be also no lynch (as there are no other votes).

Otherwise, sacrifice works like a normal "lynch".

EXAMPLE

Frodo, Sam and Gollum are the three last players who have not placed any of their votes on Day 7 yet. Sam has already 1 lynch vote and Gollum has 1 lynch vote, Gollum and Frodo have also 1 sacrifice vote each.

LYNCH: Sam (1), Gollum (1). Left to vote: Frodo, Sam, Gollum.
SACRIFICE: Gollum (1), Frodo (1). Left to vote: Frodo, Sam, Gollum.

Gollum votes to sacrifice Frodo, who has now 2 sacrifice votes, but when it comes to lynching, he does not think Sam is guilty, and he does not want to vote for himself (obviously).So he votes for "no lynch".

LYNCH: Sam (1), Gollum (1), no lynch (1). Left to vote: Frodo, Sam.
SACRIFICE: Frodo (2), Gollum (1). Left to vote: Frodo, Sam.

Frodo is fed up with Gollum, so he votes to lynch him and also to sacrifice him. That puts Gollum in the lead in lynching, but Frodo is still in lead for sacrifice, as he was the first one to achieve the highest number of votes.

LYNCH: Gollum (2), Sam (1), no lynch (1). Left to vote: Sam.
SACRIFICE: Frodo (2), Gollum (2). Left to vote: Sam.

Sam wants to get rid of Gollum, but he does not want to lose Frodo. So he votes to sacrifice Gollum, thus putting him in the lead. In this case, Gollum would be sacrificed, but Sam, having the second most votes for lynching, would be lynched. So he votes for "no lynch", making "no lynch" the second option after Gollum, who is sacrificed and so he cannot be lynched. Because of that, "no lynch" is "lynched" instead of Gollum - so no lynch is actually made toDay.
