  1. It wasn't a stroke of luck, it was pure skill. As much as I'd love to return for this game, I have finals coming up this month. I'll take a link to the spec doc, though.
  2. I think that from a physics standpoint, under makes more sense though. You're going to naturally pull the paper towards you, and you have the underside of the roll providing the friction to make a decent tear.
  3. I, like any sane person, have seconded "under".
  4. Look, under normal circumstances, I'd be unlikely to believe that you'd be able to manipulate that many people myself. But you're saying that Wilson, a player who tends to be very knowledgeable of the rules, decided to protect a player who she knew to be Arrested, when the rules state that all actions targeting an Arrested player fail. Which would include her own protection ability, as well as all kill actions. If she was ambiguous about this, I'm almost certain that she would've brought it up with Joe. (Emphasis mine) From what you've said, Wilson willingly left herself completely open to attack, in order to protect a player that she couldn't have even ended up protecting in the first place. While I find the possibility that you manipulated Wilson into doing this doubtful, the possibility that she willingly did so herself seems even more doubtful.
  5. I voted for you because things seem far too convenient right now. You're saying that Wilson believed that Magestar wouldn't be protecting you, but that still doesn't quite line up. If you weren't Arrested during the Night, Wilson should've just waited for you to say something in-thread as confirmation. And despite the fact that Jaime apparently had quite a bit of trust in you, she did not trust you when you said that you'd be protected during the Night? And in addition to this, you had no codes or anything set up to confirm to Wilson that you were being Arrested in the first place? After all, you were in a doc with Magestar, and you could've quite easily passed on coded confirmation of your Arrest so he could post in-thread. This just seems awfully uncoordinated.
  6. I can't know for sure, but there's several very jarring pieces of evidence. One of which to comes to mind is that Magestar seemed rather certain that Aman was being protected last night, and considering that Mage is a Legionnaire and was killed, it makes sense that Aman was the one who was attacked. Edit: Also, according to Wilson's trust list, the only players she likely would've protected are Aman, Eol, Emerald, and herself. Wilson clearly didn't protect herself, and I highly doubt that Eol or Emerald received that many actions.
  7. Alright, I’m slowly sifting through all the game’s contents. I mean, it’s great that we’ve had a lot of discussion, but there’s been so much irrelevant discussion that it’s really making it difficult to determine what is actually important. Though I suppose that I will give my take on the game so far, especially with regards to the Night kills, in case I end up dead after tonight. Okay, so one of the Night 1 deaths was Straw, which is fairly self-explanatory: this was a ChayShan warrior that claimed to Aman. Given that this player targeted a highly-voted player and revealed their role fairly early in PM, I’d say that it is likely that they are a Citizen (or at least neutral); though, there’s always a possibility of them being converted by the Jeskeri. The other Night 1 attack was on Ecthelion, as a religious-philosopher person. On one hand, I’m inclined to believe this is a serial killer, because the write-up seems to imply that the person who killed Ecth was also the same who killed Conquestor, and Conquestor seemed inactive enough to not hamper any eliminator plans. On the other hand, it could just be the same eliminator performing both kills, and it is very unlikely for the eliminators to forgo a kill action (unless someone was protected by a bodyguard on Night 1 and the bodyguard hasn’t revealed this). One of the N2 kills was on Conquestor, killed by the same religious player/faction that killed Ecth. Con's been pretty inactive, even after being attacked, which makes him an odd target for the eliminators/SK to hit, unless they’re going for low-profile targets. This could perhaps mean that the eliminators/SK were already aware that there were a number of protective roles in play. Either way, I think it would be beneficial for us to know whether @Conquestor revealed his role to anyone, and why he’s still been fairly silent after being attacked. Alvron was attacked despite not talking at all on N2 (implying that he would be Arrested), which likely means that the killer was either really scared or suspicious of Alvron, or believed that he wasn’t actually Arrested. The latter of these two is certainly an interesting possibility, but would again likely involve some private information that I am not privy to. Finally, Emerald101. Unless he’s lying (which I doubt), he was attacked and protected on N2. I feel that this is a ChayShan kill, considering that Emerald was a pretty high-priority target, which doesn’t really give us any clues as to his alignment. It does reveal that there is a second ChayShan warrior (assuming the one that talked to Aman wasn’t lying about not killing anyone N2). The interesting thing to note of all of these kills is that they have all been on relatively low-profile players, or players that have previously been discussed as possible lynch targets. Unless there are some other blocked kills that haven’t been publicly revealed, this means that the eliminators and neutral players/factions have been playing it safe with their kills, or were wrong with some of their role-reads on some players. What this ultimately means is that if this trend continues, we may end up with a well-protected trust group of players, which I usually tend to dislike, but find extremely dangerous in this particular case, where there is a faction with a conversion ability that could potentially infiltrate this group if we aren’t careful. At this point, it is difficult to tell who might have performed any of these attacks, but given that we seem to have quite a few protective roles in play, I’d be cautious about immediately clearing any player who gets attacked by an eliminator team.
  8. (Emphasis mine) You said on Day 1 that you knew that a Duke (Elenion) would be voting for Straw, which means that Elenion claimed both Pirate and Duke to you on Day 1. In that case, what motive would he have to pretend to be a role that can survive a kill, and then go back on that claim within the same turn? I'm not particularly suspicious of either of you, I just don't know how this information is helpful to anyone in a PM, when it is already public knowledge that Elenion is (at least allegedly) a Duke.
  9. Vote Tally Maill (5): Aman, Orlok, Lopen, Kipper, Bard Emerald (3): Wilson, Conquestor, Jaime Elenion (2): Sart, Ren Elbereth (1): Araris We still have the Noble vote and at least one Duke to take into account, as well, if we want to end up with this vote as a tie. One thing I note is that while Elenion sort of promised to be less aggressive after being voted on Day 1, he’s been much less aggressive now, something I see as someone who wants to try and fade into the background after a close lynch. But if you’re a Citizen, how is that possibly going to benefit us, even if you are just attempting to survive?
  10. Well, Day 1 votes are always a bit of a wild guess, but at least there’s been enough discussion today to make a semi-educated guess. And at this point, my best guess (by a small margin) is Ecthelion. Though, I am inherently suspicious of all the players who have barely posted anything, or anything of importance to the discussion. Ecthelion accused Elenion of bandwagoning, everyone who voted for Elenion for bandwagoning (Emerald in particular for tunneling), and Elenion for being arrogant. This last accusation in particular is rather suspect, because none of Elenion’s posts have struck me as pretentious or anything of the like. It sounds a bit like something of a fear tactic to get us to distrust Elenion, while in the same post acting noncommittal towards Elenion. Other than that, I find Ecthelion's focus on bandwagons to be a bit suspect, especially since the eliminators would have no reason to bandwagon onto anyone this early in the game.
  11. Aftermath: Ashes Rise, Empires Fall [Well of Ascension spoilers ahead.] Sazed awoke from his cell at the metallic sound of a door bursting open. Even before he saw the three figures walking down the hallway to his cell, a chill ran down his spine. He somehow knew that something had gone horribly wrong. That these weren’t the cronies of Ashweather Cett or Ferson Penrod. No, these had to be agents of Ruin himself. The three figures walked into view, and Sazed narrowed his eyes. There was no way that Hadrian Penrod himself would work with Shara, a well-known member of House Cett… unless they were spiked. “Olvar, Shara, Hadrian Penrod,” Sazed said, nodding to each person in turn. “What is the meaning of my imprisonment?” “Ruin figured it’d be best to have you out of the way for a time, lest you figure out where the Well of Ascension is,” Olvar responded, his face impassive. “That’s ridiculous. We all already know that the Well of Ascension is somewhere in the Terris Mountains. Vin should be there any day now.” Olvar chuckled. “I’m afraid your ancient Terris prophecies have lied to you. The Well of Ascension is nowhere near where you believe it is. It’s here, in Luthadel.” Sazed’s eyes widened. “That… can’t be true.” “Unfortunately, it is. And it is a matter of mere moments before Ruin will be able to escape from the prison that has he has been trapped in the past millennium. You, unfortunately, will not be able to see Ruin’s ascension.” The three spiked unsheathed their swords, and Hadrian Penrod stepped forward, unlocking Sazed’s cell. Sazed stepped back, trying to make sense of the situation. Maybe he could… A figure flashed down the hallway at an incredible speed, knocking all of the spiked to the ground. Sazed reeled back, then leaned out to face the person who had saved him. The person in question was a tall, hawk-faced man in black robes, a thin silver sword at his side. Sazed instinctively trusted the man, and fear slowly melted from his mind. “Who… may you be, sir?” The man smiled. “You can call me Hoid. Normally I would not intervene in such a brutal fashion, but things are not as they should be. Come along now, before they awaken.” Sazed stepped forward, and the two men walked swiftly down the hallway. “So… what exactly are we to do, in order to stop Ruin?” Sazed asked. “Those three said something about the Well of Ascension being in Luthadel.” “Yes, yes, I know,” Hoid said, rounding a corner. “Went there earlier today.” “You… you’ve been to the Well of Ascension?” “On multiple occasions, yes. Now is not the time for that. Now is the time to minimize the damage.” “The… damage?” Hoid nodded. “I cannot stay here for long. Ruin will escape, unfortunately, no matter what you may try to do at this point. It is too late now. But have hope, in the days to come. Many others will lose it, but you cannot.” “Why not me?” “I cannot say. But keep your head up. Things will be alright in the end.” The pair emerged through a large metal door, out into Luthadel itself, which was alight in the night with thousands of fires. Ash seemed to rise through the mists, rather than fall. “By the Forgotten Gods,” Sazed breathed. “The city’s worse off than before.” “And, unfortunately, it will only be worse with the arrival of Ruin. However, I cannot really be around for that. Ati and I used to get along well, but now…” Hoid shook his head, then took off at a run. “I must leave. Good luck, Sazed.” With that, Hoid was gone. Sazed glanced around, immediately discovering that he was at the base of Kredik Shaw. Maybe Hoid was wrong. Maybe he could reach the Well before… I’M FREE! a voice boomed from the ground, and the entire city suddenly shook, flames arching higher. Sazed looked around, eyes frantic. So this was it. Ruin was free. And he was the only one left, in the middle of… The door behind Sazed crashed open, and a coin slammed into Sazed’s chest. Sazed crumpled to the ground, the forms of the three spiked standing triumphantly above him. “I’d consider this day a success,” Olvar smiled, then turned to Shara. “Finish him off.” Shara grinned, unsheathed her sword, and slammed it into Sazed’s chest. “Today shall be the end of two empires. An empire that has existed for a single year, by that fool Elend Venture. And an empire that has long opposed Ruin, foolishly trying to prevent the inevitable. The end of all things. But today, that ending begins.” Hadrian and Shara nodded. NOW GO, a voice boomed from the ground, and the three immediately dispersed, going off to serve their master. Ruin would not be stopped. Not anymore. - - - - - The Spiked have won the game! Congratulations, and good game to all. I think the game went pretty well, minus the late-game inactivity, and a minor error I made with Venture’s koloss (they should’ve had 1 koloss survive after cycle 2, though this wouldn’t have changed the outcome any). Anyway, here are all of the game docs: Spreadsheet (with 5 tabs) Venture (Venture 2.0) (Venture 3.0) Cett Lekal Penrod Spiked (Spiked 2.0) Dead Doc Spec Doc
  12. Turns out that I will be around today, so the turn will end in just under 11 hours from now.
  13. Day 9: Ruinous I can feel it coming. Any minute, any second now, my demise will come. And I can only hope that the tale of my story will survive for generations to come. But I can’t even be sure that there will be any generations to come. Ruin is at hand. Guilty felt… actually rather guilty, for being the last surviving member of Jastes Lekal’s faction. Even Jastes Lekal had fled -- the coward -- leaving him, on the top of the walls of Luthadel, to look down on the chaos and destruction on the streets below. Some of that had been his own faction’s fault, he knew. He’d been partially responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians. Koloss rampaged through the burning streets, smashing anything that they felt needed to be smashed. The factions’ control over the koloss was weakening, he could tell. Something else was beginning to control them all. One of the koloss, just beneath him on the wall, suddenly sniffed the air, and looked straight up. Straight at Guilty. The koloss roared, and began swinging its enormous sword at the base of the wall, chips of stone flying off. Several other koloss decided to join in, and they all swung their swords at the wall, chopping at it like a tree. Guilty grunted, and took off at a run down the wall. Before he could get more than five feet, however, the wall began to buckle and collapse. Guilty jumped off the crumbling section of wall, grabbing onto a secure section of wall with one hand. Guilty was now trapped. He might be able to land one a partially fallen piece of wall below, but if he missed, it’d mean certain doom. Of course, he really had no other options. Guilty blew out a breath, then let go from the wall’s jagged edge, his arms out to grab onto the ledge below. However, Guilty flew by the ledge too quickly, and his hands couldn’t grab hold of anything. Guilty found himself screaming, falling towards a small group of eager koloss below, cheerless smiles on their faces. - - - - - Parth Resnuren was having a terrible evening before the coin nearly struck him in the face. But when a shadowed figure rounded a burned hovel in the slums of Luthadel, and launched that very coin, Parth had had enough. The figure immediately reached into his belt pouch to take out another coin, but Parth reacted faster, Pulling the pouch of coins into his open hands. The figure narrowed his eyes, pulling off his hood. “A Lurcher, eh? Might be interesting.” Parth growled. He’d have nothing from this assassin. He hurled the coin pouch behind him, where the assassin would be unable to affect him with it. Then, Parth unsheathed a metal sword. The sword had cost him a fortune, and was made out of some strange metal that was completely resistant to Allomancy, something that was affirmed by the quizzical expression on the assassin’s face as he attempted to Push on the sword. In reality, the sword was mostly steel, with a small layer of the metal covering it; the metal could apparently prevent any metals inside of it from being affected by Allomancy as well. Parth moved in, thrusting his sword out at the assassin, but the assassin Pushed off of several nails at the base of several of the burning hovels around him, launching himself in the air. Parth frowned, then Pulled on these nails gently, moving them from their normal position and causing the assassin to be lurched to the side, as his anchors moved towards Parth. The assassin immediately reacted by flaring a Push at the nails on a house farther down the street, causing some of those nails to completely dislodge themselves from the wooden structures altogether. The assassin touched the ground in a cloud of dust, and whirled to face Parth, charging at him with his sword raised. The assassin gave a wicked smile, then opened the palm of his hand, revealing a small coin wrapped in a foil of the same material that Parth had used in his sword. The coin had been completely hidden from Parth’s Lurching. The assassin tossed the coin from its casing, and Pushed on it with all his might, striking Parth before he could react. Parth fell to the ground, and the assassin picked up his sword, inspecting it gently. - - - - - Guilty (Master Elodin) was killed by a koloss horde! He was an unspiked Tineye. Parth Resnuren (Conquestor) was coinshot! He was an unspiked Lurcher. Lekal has fallen! You may no longer target it with any actions. Day 9 begins now and will end in 23 hours. Good luck!
