Possibly elim just because Xino was super inactive, but also hard to say. You’re asking all the right questions to be V. You’re just trying to get your feet under you, so it’s understandable you would join the train, especially with the stakes being so high rn, you’d have to rely on others’ reads jumping into the game like you did.

So, I’m rereading this thread and I’m noticing that for Araris not having a lot of reasoning to vote for me, a lot of people jumped on that train really quick. I’m seeing a lot of sheeping. Even Archer who was dead set on voting Turtle or JNV jumped on this wagon, and by then, there were already plenty of people voting me that even with a vote manip it would have been difficult to save me. I understand why JNV is voting me, I did rb them. With me having Pailiah’s blade, I really just didn’t feel an urgency to use it. Even still I don’t feel like it was a productive use of storm light. This case being built against me is exactly why the elim did, and should have, skipped claiming the blade. If I was an elim I would have, just so I could use this exact argument: “Well, she has the blade, so obviously she did it.” I suspect there is at least one elim voting for me, probably two. I’m thinking e!Araris could be a thing. And I still feel fairly certain about e!Turtle and e!JNV. I’m going to keep my vote on Turtle for now. They’ve been too quiet for my liking, especially since there was a solid train on them before Araris started the one on me. And assuming we’re still looking at a fairly inactive elim team they fit the bill.

I only play on SE. I’ve only played 3? games. And it’s been YEARS since I’ve played werewolf in person. I didn’t think who I picked would want to be associated with me at this point. Since it matters so much, it was Araris. Obviously, they didn’t know or they wouldn’t have started this train. As to why I am not forthcoming initially, it’s because the elims are still out there and I am trying to not give them any more information. I mentioned a while ago that I got super super sick and want on for a few days… Let me rephrase: I didn’t understand the power that blade held. Roleblocking and protection isn’t usually an ability I give much credit to.

I guess I was trying to understand how/why Araris would see me as an elim when it hadn’t really been discussed before in thread. I had hoped if I became a target for an exe the accusers would have something more substantial and evidence they’d pull from thread. Idk why. I don’t usually put that much thought into my votes. Now that I’ve had a few minutes to step away and not just gut reacting, I realize putting out my thoughts as to why I was being read elim was probably not the smartest of moves, but it’s already done. Oh well. I just picked someone at random. It doesn’t really matter. And as to why Illumination, I wanted to make sure I was safe from attacks that would steal my blade, so the elim’s couldn’t get it. But I also didn’t know who else had a blade so I just hoped I would also protect a villager who had one. I realize now it wasn’t clear. I was in the middle of writing up the post when I saw Stick’s post. I didn’t want to delete everything I’d just written, so you got my raw reaction. Not sorry. there was something else I was going to respond to, but I can’t find it now. I’ll make another post if I find it again.

Nice to meet you too! I was trying to look at it from an outside perspective as if I was just reading my own alignment from another player POV. tbh last night was the first night I used the blade. I wasn’t sure how it worked per se, and who’s to say I didn’t protect my top village read. I didn’t say anything about who else I protected. Just that I definitely shielded myself. It also just sounded more efficient to protect 2 people from potential scans than one person from getting killed when my chances of hitting the right person were extremely slim.

That is…. Fair. I’d forgotten about that being part of the reason I’d suspected Turtle. I can’t vote both of them this turn. Night turn after Illwei died. I assumed it was random.

Wait… so all you have is that I got Illwei’s blade? I was expecting something more… substantial. Blades are randomly distributed if not claimed by the killer. Let me help you with some reasons: 1. I’ve been fairly inactive. I did mention I got really sick, but with the inactive elim theory going around this is a pretty good indicator. 2. I didn’t have a blade, aand then I got Illwei’s. It is possible I killed Illwei and claimed her blade, but it’s also possible I got assigned it when the killer didn’t claim it. 3. Stick voted for me last second, to which I responded by making sure they were exed, even if there was a vote manip. Could be distancing, but even elk said it couldn’t really be alignment indicative because it’s too much of an ikyk, nevertheless, it could still be distancing between two elims. 4. JNV says they were roleblocked when they tried to scan me. I could have used Illwei’s blade to do that, protecting myself and a teammate. Anyway, I’m very interested in Turtle. I’ve been watching them for a couple cycles and I was trying to decide if I should vote for them or JNV. JNV is reading a little more villagery to me atm because of their blade claim. Turtle on the other hand still has yet to say something that makes me less suspicious of them. Everyone is guilty until proven innocent in this game Turtle

Hmm... what an interesting thread. So, established now is that cash is most likely an elim. I can see that based on the evidence being presented and their own posts here. It seems, and there seems to be some evidence being discussed that supports it, that JNV is also an elim. Assuming those are true, who would be the other team member(s)? A lot of people are suggesting TUN and Tani. That's possible, but I'm not really getting elim vibes from either of them per se. I don't really have solid reads on either of them. If JNV is an elim, I would propose that turtle is on their team, based on turtle's plea for everyone to reconsider JNV votes. We could also consider elk as an elim, but I'm still waffling on that one. I think I'm going to place my vote on Cash for now. Many of the reasons Archer originally called cash out were what I was thinking, but I would like to add that Cash's original post (quoted below) sounded a little taunting to me? Like hey "I'm an elim but you'll never catch me." It could be just me reading things into it, but that's what it felt to me.

Hey y’all, sorry for disappearing. I had a fever of 102 for three days (for those of you in Celsius-lands, that’s like 38-39ish). It wasn’t pretty. I’m going to start with who is being voted rn: Stick: they’re not reading E to me, but I also haven’t read through D2 and N2 yet… no time now though since rollover is in a half hour. That said, they don’t read V to me either. I also had been low-key E reading Mat (no reason, just gut), and I was definitely wrong about that so I’m probably wrong here too. Archer: I think they’re village. I haven’t seen anything from them that has stuck out to me as an elim-move. Elk: mild E read… unsure though. In the games I’ve played with them it seems like they just like to be bringers of chaos so idk. Rude. Disregard everything I said. Stick

Trying to catch up. BRB reading.

It’s just a gut feeling, and I enjoy his analysis. I don’t have a reason per se…. It’s really early in the game to have a solid read on anyone. I’ll come up with more concrete reason for everything as the game progresses.

I know I’m super late to the party here, but I just wanted to say Thanks @Matrim's Dice for running this game! I had a lot of fun! It’s not often I can just randomly stab people and not be judged for it.

Oh yay! thanks! I love pie!

I didn't really want to pick you, Kas, but I did want to give you pizza. I decided against it though. As to why Mat, I panicked. I didn't really want to vote someone out (feels bad to do that day 1), but I felt the need to vote because not voting looks really bad while voting for someone is less bad looking? And.... I didn't have words for it, but Archer nailed it for me. I'd rather have a vote in there, so as not to be accused of not participating, especially since I tend to hover over the thread, but I didn't really necessarily want someone to jump ship on a tie and have my vote be the one to vote someone out (or worse be the reason it's a tie and they have to RNG the sacrifice), so I picked someone already being voted for, but who wasn't in danger of being voted out. I'll play this game! V: Kas E: Szeth/Ookla the Omniscient- Feels sus their vote for Wiz then being so dramatic about the results at the beginning of the night. N: Stick- they could be elim, they could be village, they could just be busy. Hard to say. - To everyone who has played more than I: Would a tie be a good way to confuse the villagers of who the elims might be? Or is it a good way to sus them out? Does it depend on the game? I'd like your opinions. Edit: Dessert: atm frozen bananas and nutella

Alrighty, I came back to four pages of unread posts, and while I was catching up, a fifth one came along. It took a while to get through all of them, but I did it. There's a lot to unpack here and I have no idea where to start. PIZZA! That's a good place to start! Good bribe. 10/10 approve of this method of persuasion (as long as 9 of them are me) Unfortunately, my general fear of angering Kas twice in three days, and thus getting under his microscope, is preventing me from joining you, so, you can keep your pizza. ;P After scrolling and scrolling and scrolling, then forgetting everything, I'm here to vote.... Mat. By reason of Insanity's vote looking lonely.
