  1. Yes. According to Kel at least, I am Kas impersonating Araris, which I've been running with but won't make any claims as to the accuracy of for the sake of staying anonymous.
  2. This didn't even come up until you asked in our PM if Dyring had a porch. Never even crossed my mind to do it before then. I'm pretty sure you just insulted more than half of the players in this game. But that's not even the point. Guessing who I was impersonating doesn't count either, since that's not actually me.
  3. By the way, I object to claims that I didn't hold to my anonymity. Kel was the only person to figure me out because he had already spent time practicing to impersonate me.
  4. Hey, you're interrupting Kel and me from co-opting the thread into a rerun of our PM! Not cool . I haven't played much since MR5, so no guesses for me.
  5. But it would have been believable if village me did actually take a game to chill Also, if I was being a responsible philospher, it would be unnecessary, since I don't have power. And it would have been a dead giveaway that I was me and not a bear with very little brain. Edit: And I left out that "o" deliberately for you misspelling me.
  6. I'm pretty sure my advice to you involved mostly sitting on a porch with Dyring. And I don't know about that Araris guy. Did you know he hadn't even GMed a game before they made him a mod? IDK whether he's very responsible. He might have just sat on me and Archer because he enjoys repressing people.
  7. Wish I could have done the same with the elims to spend more time chatting with my buddy Kel. Also, want to say that I enjoyed my PM with @Charcoal Hyena, and would definitely enjoy playing games with you in the future if you are up to it. Definitively not because I don't want to be the most distrusted player in every game .
  8. After reading through the monster of a dead doc, I'm glad to see that Meerkat and the GMs enjoyed our PM as much as I did. That was definitely one of my favorite parts of this game. I still only got like one sarcastic comment from Fifth in there though, so that was a little disappointing.
  9. Great game everyone! I have some thoughts about the distribution as well as some meta things, but overall I greatly enjoyed the game itself, my RP (which I'd like to do a bit more of to wrap up), and a couple of excellent PMs. Having played in Tyrian Falls before, I'm a bit sad to see the end of the Curse, but also glad to have been a part of ending it.
  10. It's the long post directly after the one where you voted for me. I agree, and think that there's probably some value in looking at both you and Alb again, probably next cycle.
  11. Can you explain why? I feel like I addressed pretty much everything you mentioned in your ISO of me, and you never responded to my defense.
  12. I mean, I probably have one of the more powerful roles. Like I mentioned, the elims pretty much have to hit Zebra tonight. If we have no Thug, no Seeker, and no Coinshot, what role is particularly bad to lose whenever the elims get around to it? Edit: Knowing the role distribution could help us avoid getting to the end where risky plays would do something, because we'd win before then.
  13. I still hold that everyone should claim publicly. We don’t need roles to win at this point, given that Zebra is going to die in the night anyway. And knowing the whole distribution (or at worst missing 2 elim roles) should be a lot more help than any costs, particularly since we probably don’t have any Thugs or Seekers.
  14. I'd say 2 remaining, and at most one of those slipped by us by doing something unexpected/accidental. But yeah, I'd wager at least one of the remaining elims is in Mouse/Dingo/Elephant/Dragonfly. Maybe both, given the lack of resistance to the non-Gorilla elim trains this game.
  15. I suppose I should mention that as a Rioter, I will use my ability in self-defense. So if y'all actually want me dead, you should probably aim for a 2-vote margin between me and the next strongest train (or 3, if I'm not on said train). That is a good point. Both Hyena and Cham mentioned the possibility of an elim Coinshot (unprompted), and that seems like a particularly odd thing for a villager who is disconnected with the game to speculate about.
  16. I can’t remember why I originally picked Cham. I do think I decided that I was more suspicious of Gorilla than Iguana, and specifically didn’t change the order (which I think I sent about 6 hours prior to my last post). I wasn’t online after I made that post, or at least not in the last couple hours of the cycle, so I missed all the last-minute votes.
  17. Here's a read's list from Beagle: Looking at the yellow category, we have e!Cham, v!Heron, v?Albatross, and e?Dingo. It's nothing real big, but a teammate would probably want to give their pals a positive read while lumping them with some actual villagers. Hyena makes a comment a bit later: Seems odd that Hyena says e/e then ignores Mouse. Mouse is inactive at this point, idk. Beagle inconveniently lumps all the inactive players in one group. Not sure if that's because none of them are elim, of because of an expectation that we won't start looking through them for a while. Or because it's the totally normal thing to do which v!Heron does 2 posts later. And that's it. Sticking with my vote. I'm reading Elephant as slightly more village based on that last post. The combination of blatant bandwagoning and not knowing that Beagle is dead is pretty odd. It could be deliberate elim misdirection, but definitely looks like a villager that is totally out of the loop. Dyring stepped back from the window, satisfied that it was fixed. Glass wasn't cheap around here, and the current... state of Tyrian Falls didn't help much with that. Still, he was well off, and everyone expected Dyring's Inn to be neat. Couldn't have broken windows, especially not facing the street out front. As he turned to head downstairs, a crash sounded from the next room over. The very distinct crash that a window makes when a brick has been tossed through it. Entering that bedroom, seeing the broken glass, Dyring's rage boiled over. During the last day his anger had been warring with the depression caused by Kel's death, but now the anger won out (will note that any emotions expressed by Dyring here are purely RP and do not reflect the emotions any theoretical person that may be writing what he does). After sweeping up the remnants of the second window in two days, Dyring headed outside the inn, where a small crowd had gathered, most of whom were muttering angrily amongst themselves. He lifted the brick up and cleared his throat, drawing the attention of the crowd. "Why would the owner of an establishment like mine ever freely admit to being a Rioter? It would give lots of folks funny ideas about whether they'd been forced into buying my drinks, and certainly not give me any good will, what with the current state of things. And another thing. I've lived here longer than most of you. You know who I am, many of you have guessed at my past and what I'm capable of. You really think that if I was a Spiked, I wouldn't go about it a little more competently? I mean, what fool do you think I am that I'd draw attention to two of my fellow saboteurs and then fail to follow up? Surely the whole point in picking on some people that would eventually be confirmed as evil would be to cash in on the goodwill that earned. And yet, there I was, doing an about-face for no apparent reason." Dyring's face grew redder as he continued. "But the worst thing is, by calling me a Spiked, you call me complicit in Kel's death. I will not stand here an be accused of the murder of my oldest friend by a bunch of fools aren't a tenth of the man he was." (again, this is RP and should not be taken as an attack on anyone) He ended by angrily tossing the brick at the feet of the crowd, and as he did, the frustration fled, leaving him empty and exhausted. "The inn is closed if you don't already have a room. I'll be waiting on the porch if you need me." And with that, Dyring walked over and sat in his chair, closing his eyes and trying to block out the noise of the crowd, Outside of the RP, my about-face on Pearl had a couple of causes. One was that with Gorilla's flip, I felt that the elims wouldn't have stacked multiple votes against him. The other was that my reasoning for my suspicion D2 was honestly really weak. If you consider a village me that thinks Gorilla and Iguana are village, then I don't really have anything great to go on, so running with this for a while makes sense. But several cycles down the road when Cham actually gets voted out, we have a lot of other things to work with than a random hypothesis about a theoretical elim strategy D1. A couple of other miscellaneous things worth noting: I was with family and/or traveling during the first few cycles of the game, which means I didn't start doing rereads until recently. There was a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff in my PM with Meerkat, since I was bouncing ideas off of him rather than posting things in the thread for a bit, especially when we had 3 practically uncontested votes in a row, there wasn't really much to say. I kinda wish I'd pushed harder to defend Hyena. I'd ID'd him pretty early, knew that he hadn't played in quite a while and also that it would be pretty crummy for village!him to get voted out, at least partly, for a rep that was quite ancient and kinda irrelevant. The thread was pretty nasty that cycle for a while, and I was trying to argue his case with Meerkat in our PM as well (although more along the lines the people should hear him out, not really that he was village). I wish someone who was actively participating would have stepped in like Fifth did earlier, but it can be hard to think about that sort of thing in the middle of the game. I think that given the lack of opposition pretty much all the trains on elims we've had this game (barring Gorilla, and we've flipped or soft-confirmed most players that voted then), it makes a whole lot of sense to look at the inactives. Based on what content those players have provided, I think Dingo is the best bet for this turn.
  18. Doesn't everyone know that Meerkat and I were trying (for at least part of D6) to bait people into a non-Beagle train? That's part of why I used my ability rather than just switching my vote onto Beagle. I'm in the middle of rereading the Meerkat Gambit right now, haven't seen anything yet that changes my mind about my vote.
