  1. Know No Fear isn't just a good Warhammer 40k book, it's also a genuinely good book on its own right. Great introduction into the grimdark universe.
  2. Once again, I must profess my sincere apologies for my spate of inactivity. I was called away yet again yesterday, and will be so for most of today too. I will most likely be able to contribute again tomorrow. Panda signing off.
  3. Originally, blue text meant out-of-RP or game-related discussion. If you look at some of the earlier games of Sanderson Elimination, you might notice that a large majority of the posts are written in blue text. This rule has somewhat been loosened up, and now black text is acceptable for in-game discussion (although it technically has always been so, it was just that blue text made things more distinguishable). Some players (generally the "older" ones) still adhere to that rule. Ahh, blue-text. Brings back memories.
  4. I'm back. Vote Tally (Even though we're late into the Cycle) Phattemer: Lopen (1) Polking: Clanky (1) Creccio: Zas, Lopen, Venture, Ripple, Feligon, Elkanath (6) On a similar note, you could also go to the search bar, make sure the area of search is "This topic" and search a player's name. This pulls up every mention of that player's name, and makes Inquisitions much easier. I believe it's also possible to pull up every post a certain player has made in a certain thread via the search bar, although I've forgotten how. I habitually highlight pages for this reason.
  5. (Twitch) (TWITCH) Thank you for the TL;DR, Adavantos, although I prefer to go over a post by myself. Words cannot describe my tears of gratitude when I saw your vote tallies. Switching playstyles isn't that easy, from my experience. You'll find your SeriousSTINK will still have traces of SillySTINK all over it (For example, your point 2. If you wanted to play the game seriously, you would have held on to your cards longer and not revealed your role, especially not just for the thrill of it). It took multiple games and a couple of throws before ErraticJain finally started stabilizing. I'm rather undecided regarding STINK's reveal. He hasn't exactly given us much in terms of explanation (admittedly, I do have Wilson-thesis level expectations), so there really can't accuse his reasoning, although we certainly could accuse his lack of it. For now, I'll just put it down as a game-opening gambit. STINK's long post seems somewhat inflated to me. 3 of its paragraphs (The WGG, Radiant and Protection one) are rather unnecessary, or just stating the obvious. To me, you're attempting to look like a helpful and contributing member. Your motives are up for debate, of course, although I won't judge you for them just yet. What intrigues me is how Hellscythe and STINK jumped on Creccio. Their reasons of accusation mainly appear to be A) Creccio is attempting to not die and Creccio is being suspicious. Reason A) Is understandable. Wanting to stay alive is perfectly normal. I mean, I know the service and community in the dead docs are great, but it just doesn't beat being alive, you know? We shouldn't be condemning a player to death just for suddenly having a spike in survival instinct. Sure, Creccio could be trying to stay alive since she had just gained an important role, but it's equally possible that she's fed up with dying early so often. Also, Hellscythe and STINK's reasoning are also rather hypocritical. Both have been suspected, targeted and voted for. Attempting to bandwagon Creccio just for trying to stay alive doesn't appear to be very selfless to me. As for reason , you could slap anyone in the game for that one. For now, I'm willing to buy Creccio's "Lost" and "Trying to help" stance. I advocate that we give him/her some time to prove herself, and make judgements then.
  6. > Finish Shadows of Self > Why Brandon Why > The feels > Sacrifice own brother to Brandon for giving us yet another excellent book > Sacrifice a puppy to spite Brandon leaving us with such a cold ending > Immediately go to 17th Shard SoS Spoiler Board > Hunt down the first chapter of Bands of Mourning and inhale it > Left satisfied yet unsatisfied at the same time > Enter cryosleep to weather the long wait for BoM
  7. On a side note, I believe Roshar doesn't have cows and pigs. No wonder why Hoid somewhat dislikes the place.
  8. Short for "Crying". Meant as a joke, of course, since Alv is indeed a far better player than I am. That being said, feel free to scan me first. Currently, I'm a bit time-gated, so I have to play passive and reactively. Once I get enough time, however, then I can start being more proactive and aggressive. And, like I said before, if I actually wanted to hide, then I wouldn't just be passive and defensive. That'd be far too conspicuous.
  9. Did QF 11 just become a tag... I've already explained why I apparently voted for a "No-Death", so I won't go over that again. Math isn't my strong point, as you can see. Nevertheless, scanning is a slow process, and remember that this isn't an entirely mathematical game. You've got to make space and allowance for stupidity, inactivity and other human factors. We can accelerate the process that with discussion. I don't see how I'm following my own agenda. If I wanted to, I'd just hide and turtle it out like i have done in other games. All I'm doing is advocating an opinion which you don't seem to be fond of (which is fine, as you are entitled to your own opinion of how the game runs.) (Cri)
  10. I sent in a "no-vote" near the start of the cycle, then changed my mind after reconsideration. I forgot to change the vote afterwards. Sorry, I don't seem to understand. I've never said that I didn't want anyone to die. I believe you're questioning me for a "no-vote" like Meta. My reasons have already been stated. I haven't been able to read over the sign-up thread in detail, so pardon me if I repeat a question, but can a Jindonese soldier protect themselves?
  11. My Jax and Yi are equally happy with this new meta (Hybrid Yi and Jax FTW). I myself am a big Zed fan. For a time my signature as "The Unseen Panda is the Deadliest". I understand that playing passive and not lynching someone on the first day might minimalize our casualities. In some Long and Mid-Range Games, this strategy could be viable. Unfortunately, we are currently playing a Quick Fix game, which encourages faster and more aggressive gameplay. Having a Day 1 lynch provides us with much more data, in the form of votes and reasoning, and can also kick-start discussion. By not having a Day 1 lynch, we are stagnating our own information pool. Letting the scanner/s do his job would take far too long. Statistically speaking, the Priest has a 1 in 4 or 5 chance of finding an Elminator, so it could potentially take the scanner multiple days to tag an Eliminator. Leaving it up to luck is too risky. We must make advances too.
  12. So my fly-spitting kangaroo-riding crocodile-hunting dropbear Epic won't be out of place then... Pardon my slowness, but by the set game-time:Real-time ratio, do you mean that if a day passed IRL, a day would have passed in the Wastelands?
