    I can read, breathe, and talk--those are just a few of my many talents. For real, I like wasting time by taking tiny breaks very, very, very often. Right now, that is done by browsing 17th Shard 4 hours out of every day, yet never posting. Hopefully I'll either start posting more or stop browsing so much.
    AS OF 7/7/18: Actually, for the past few months I've been browsing reddit 4 hours out of each day. I'm switching out of both until I get better time management skills.
    AS OF 5/10/23: I have gotten better at estimating the time I spend on the Internet. It is even worse than in 2018, and I switch my time from Youtube, Discord, and other online media platforms. Don't do the Internet, kids.

  1. Wait, Braize went kablooey? Alright, I’ll read the other cycles. Also, joining a hammer is both e!me and v!me behavior. Especially considering that in that first hammer, I voted out TWW who was Hoid. I’m playing by the seat of my pants right now, everyone. Or, was. I’m going to read the rest of the rules and cycles and maybe get caught up enough to contribute. Just to repeat my reasoning that’s I’ve checked the rules for—if there’s 7 alive players and 5 Avatars plus Bavadin right now, then a death of two non-Avatars means Autonomy wins. I don’t see how erasing the last Hoidite is a higher priority than reducing the number of Avatars. Now that I know Braize is gone I don’t have any plans and likely may not be very helpful from here on out, but me dying seems less productive than going after an Avatar. Me being Bavadin is a much scarier alternative, and I’d understand if you go after me for that, but I don’t get going after me for being a Hoidite. ————— Trukal had some oatmeal.* ————— *Trukal is not an exact representation of me and my actions during the game. I did not have oatmeal.
  2. Weeeellllppp. Trying to go for the train is a tried technique of mine but in this case not a true one. I can’t remember the last time it did work, anyway. Also TJ, I’m not a Hoidite, if you’re basing that conclusion off my last post. Looking at the roles I don’t really know what the Hoidites can do right now, and removing the Avatar almost-majority seems like a much higher priority. I’m going for a charge tonight (I have 2 with me), worldhopping to Braize, and killing an Avatar, if uninterrupted. I haven’t been following the game closely but that seems pretty cut and dry to me. As far as I can tell it will be easy to get a Researcher win once the Avatars are taken care of. I haven’t looked at either Odium’s or Ruin’s win conditions but Drake seems to want to give up his shard, so that just leaves Ruin that I need to brush up on, and Autonomy appears (to me) to be a clear population-threat. I’m going to go read over the relevant rules sections tomorrow and get back to you. I’ve got time tomorrow to go over the threads as well but I can’t guarantee that I’ll do that. ———————— Trukal awoke sleeping in a cot. This was a guest room in Silverlight, it seemed; had he wandered so far from his sleeping quarters that he just fell asleep in a random abandoned room? No, as he awoke he realized this was deliberate. Continuing to avoid any way he could be tracked or betrayed, discussing with other researchers over the Coppernet or in groups. Yet another researcher had been killed because of a disagreement on guilt. Well, now that he was up, it was time to do some research.
  3. Oof I’m sliding in under the bell, sorry everyone I’ll add on the train on Araris to counter any Avatars, but I’m really surprised no one’s been going for them the last couple cycles. Hoid needed to get all 16 Shards and wasn’t even close. If we lose one more villager after this we may lose to Autonomy. ——— Trukal got rollover’ed and did not do anything interesting.
  4. Yeah I’ll go for an Endowment breach! I…don’t think I’m thinking of the same player to revive that you are. But anyway best of luck to getting it if E breaks out. ——— Trukal joined another group chat to vote, this time hopefully better informed. They were going to attempt to breach the Endowment shard.
  5. I guess I’ll vote Wizard because of the train rn. I don’t have time to check for what I should actually do. But I was asked to vote and I said I would, so here it is. ——— Trukal sent a message within the system. He didn’t know what or who the researchers were talking about, but a standard “I agree” should cover his bases for a few minutes while he got his bearings.
  6. Sorry will vote in a few minutes. I’ve been busy the last few days, and I totally should have expected a lack of free time but neglected to make plans for my remaining time. Aka I forgor. ——— Trukal forgor
  7. I'll join in on the game again tomorrow. Still very busy today. -------------------- Trukal made a quick phone call. "Oh, and how is Lorn Haemtes? To shreds, you say. Well..." The conversation continued after that point, but the first few moments were a good indicator of how it would go. Some condolences, some bafflement (silently kept in), and some overall disappointment that now would be a bad time to ask about that zincmind medallion he had lent the man. Well, as far as personal survival went, he would probably be alright just having wakefulness available.
  8. Yeah a summary would help, especially considering the other inactives! But I still probably won't be on here for long enough at a time to make a difference until my exam is over so don't worry about it in my case; maybe for the others, if they start entering the game again.
  9. Alright, so I should be more active now...but I have my class final in two days and I didn't anticipate how much I would be trying to put off studying for it. I'll be mostly gone for the next two days, just skimming and barely reacting to what's in thread. I can spit out a bunch of word salad, but reading and retaining anything coherent from threads will be near-impossible for me--and that's just in general, but it's worse if I'm only skimming like I will be for the next two days. All I remember now is that Fifth was the something-shooter, Mat died going into this cycle, and something about Fadran being distanced? Anyway, Kasimir asked me and other lurkers for an action schedule so here's mine. Stillll on Silverlight. I don't know of anyone on the same world as me and I don't think I'd gain anything from using the charges anyway, so I'll hold onto them until further notice. --------------- Trukal stored wakefulness for a few hours in a pocket medallion. He was likely to need all the focus he could get in the coming days. Now, one might say that he should be staying awake at this point -- his mortal danger had never been higher. But Trukal didn't actually have a wakefulness stockpile at the moment, and he had a rare moment of downtime in which he didn't have to watch his back for researchers or Shards deciding to put a hold on his current state of being alive.
  10. I don’t have anything to say, really, since I committed to read through previous posts but have not actually done that yet. Also, I’ll be busy for the rest of tomorrow so I’ll probably not post in-thread. But I will confirm I’m on Silverlight, if that helps any factions make decisions about whether to kill me or otherwise take an action. —————— Trukal sipped on an algae smoothie, cultures from the Elantrian moss on Sel. It supposedly increased ability to process foreign Investiture, much like how certain intestinal bacteria were responsible for breaking down given foods. He was still coming down from the headaches from the lab incident earlier, and suspected he might soon be exposed to Stormlight or another Investiture that chose to disagree with his biology. He had talked to another researcher a few hours ago, but the details of the conversation slipped his mind. All he knew was that it wasn’t relevant to the situation about the Shards, so he could file it away in a copper ring for later. He couldn’t spare the trouble to try and remember that manually even if it was personally important, because he had to first be alive to respond to it.
  11. Cough. I completely forgot to put in an action, and I haven't yet caught up on the thread. I'll do that soon enough, but for now I also have some other stuff to do today so it'll probably be after rollover. ---------------- Trukal learned the basics of juggling two roughly spherical objects while he considered his next move. It turned out that this was harder than it seemed at first glance, but that it lent itself well to transitioning to three objects. He was probably going to die before getting around to three, but a man might as well try.
  12. Alright! I’m happy to be here! I don’t think I’ve participated in a Shard game before, so this is going to be fun. And not only that, but since Drake Inferno didn’t have a character I get to bring in Trukal (I assume). I’ll be catching up on the last few cycles today; I don’t think I’ll have time for analysis but I’ll definitely at least submit an action, so you can work that into your theories. ——— Trukal came to after a particularly long hallucinatory walk around the halls of Silverlight. It appeared that he had inhaled the fumes from a Scadrian Investiture research lab. As soon as he felt steady, he resolved to tell them to properly ventilate their experiments. Come to think of it, why *were* they still experimenting at a time like…this…oh. The “hallucination” that multiple Shards had breached containment was actually true, and he was just now processing the implications. Games were afoot, it seemed, though he didn’t see how research into metallurgy and Feruchemy could possibly lead to a hidden faction’s benefit. Maybe those researchers were just really dedicated. And if his rapidly returning memories were correct, he had actually walked into the lab despite a “USE FILTRATED AIR” sign taped to it. They were following procedure, and he wasn’t. Trukal was zoning out when walking in and hadn’t registered the importance of the sign, and the researchers sent him out before he caused any damage to the equipment or himself in his haze. In the current situation, no one had the time to sit him down until he became lucid. It had been a full Rosharan day since Trukal had last been truly conscious. I’ll probably need some sleep, thought Trukal. I’ll be sure to do that as soon as I avoid dying to a rogue Shard in the next week.
  13. I'll sign up as a pinch-hitter. In the unlikely event, if there are RP agreements with whoever I pinch-hit for or funky mechanics interactions, that I can replace their role but insert my own character, then I'll be pinch-hitting as Trulak. He's just a guy who's here to have fun, and also wield devastating power where he can find it. I'm happy to pinch-hit the normal way; I just wanted to have a character to put in the pre-game thread.
  14. Welp, one hour until rollover. For the sake of self-preservation, I'll keep my vote on Mat, so this is mainly just an update that I'm looking at the thread. --- Jen did something uninteresting.
  15. Sorry for the inactivity. I'll get back on later tonight, but for now I'll put in a vote for Mat since as far as I remember, my two candidates were Mat/Araris and one of those is dead now. ----- Jen did something that could possibly be construed as interesting. No one saw it because it was offscreen. Blame the narrator for forgetting to record this event.
