Still thinking...

JNV

Edit: Are JNV voters set on JNV?

I'm ultimately willing to get behind exing any of JNV, TUN, or Cash, but I'm also aware that consolidation is important. So lets talk this through but merge to a single train at most 12 hours from now.

Are these the only candidates you're willing to vote?

Yes*

*make me a good e!team argument and I'm willing to reconsider. I like this group because they fit together nicely. Cash being independently suspicious while pushing the vote away from the CWers is too good of a group connection to pass up on. When you can build a coherent team narrative, it's usually right more often than singling out a suspicious person is. 

Cash JNV

Um wow I thought the VC was different from this

[ookla the POKE VOTE Oldblood]

i don’t like this, for some reason. feels like too little activity with a too large train, and what i think we’ve been seeing from the elims is low to mid activity but voting most cycles

that being said, i’m still good with my cash vote as i think it makes sense- i don’t want to vote jnv out for similar things as what i got him mld for qf63.

edit: i mean they could have totally made the decision to bus for bus cred here, actually. e!cash means we’re relatively close to lylo from what i can gather. someone should do the actual n v n thing

I don’t think anyone has voted you this cycle?

And why do you find Cash more suspicious than Tani?

And yet, I'm listed as basically everyone's number two suspicion.

which, imo, can feel a bit like lots of people distancing without voting, but with my in active elim team credences i don’t think it’s that likely

And who do you suppose the elims would vote for this cycle? Assuming we're on the right track and their offers last cycle we're flatly rejected, I imagine they're getting desperate to find something that sticks. That's why Cash's post rang alarm bells, and TUN's last cycle too. They run counter to the natural progression the rest of us have gone through. If you combine Kas and I's pools, you get JNV, TUN, Cash, Xino, and Elk as valid options. 

Cash and TUN have been gunning for Tani and me. I put it to you that the elim team needs us to make some off the board picks so they can whittle down our numbers. They're dealing with a Shaman, kill scans, kill blocks, people who voted off an elim and probably no thread control. Their only out is the Coinshot missing a few times and the thread changing their mind about some trusts, but they're in a poor position to influence that discussion. This feels too easy because we're in a strong position and have mostly had village dominated discussions. 

I'll explain TUN's vote by noting that protecting Cash would be suicide right now, even though losing another elim makes victory less attainable in the long run.

e!cash means we’re relatively close to lylo

Wait, was your assumption that there was only two elims left until a third viable candidate entered the chat? 

We're fine for today. If we get an elim, we buy even more time. There's no need to worry if we make the right decision today, so that should be the priority.

no, assumption was that cash saying ‘our numbers are close’ or something similar made me think that lol

[Chantara Noble-Blooded]

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.

RIP Kas, you served us well and we will prevail in your absence o7

Alright, we gotta get on our game as villagers, Chana, take note of who is acting weird cause you got a fresh round of stormlight. Everyone else, note what chana does tonight. 

@JNV If the elims get Jeziren, that's a lot of power the elims have with so few villages left.....

I'm assuming we get knowledge of Blades from Kasimir's PM dumps to others

So from numbers, we have 11 left. We eliminated one Raider, but as of right now, we still outnumber the Raiders. So there are at most 5 Elims left. I'd be willing to bet that we are dangerously close to losing right now, so again, whoever has Chana will NEED to take action against a known elim to keep us ahead. 

If we do think that we have an inactive Elim team, then the most inactive player has been Tani/Ookla the Implosion over the past few days in my opinion, so I'd be willing to flip them. 

Other than that, Xino and Elk have had some weird behavior over the past days, so keep an eye on them unless we flip them

Is no one else uncomfortable with how many votes Cash has?

No, it could easily be all villagers, even if if probably isn't.

Do you have comments?

[Cash67 Misting]

I can sure as heck try

My main suspicion right now is Archer, again because he jumped on me pretty quickly after I was voicing my thoughts. However, with Xino being a secondary target for a few cycles in a row, my back burner suspicion is on them. 
 

another thing I can claim is that I have Battar’s  blade, I’ve scanned one person who is still in play and they have no honor blades (so far as I’m aware) the other person I scanned was Mat and they had nothing, so there’s that. 
 

Xino right low is probably a more useful vote, and I def overreacted with Archer, so

Archer Xino

I'm a little uncomfortable that you are asking this question...

*sigh* I'm asking cause I didn't take the time I wanted to today for this game and am a little out of the loop.

I meant to be more active today but there was some drama going on in the MR and I spend many hours putting posts together there, so I didn't end up finding time to go through on here.

Might as well seal the deal.

I mean, that wasn't a personal attack, it was a potential suggestion of violent action in your general direction .

Who did you scan other than Mat?

Ed1t: Wait nevermind, you (ed2t: probably) shouldn't tell us.

My sleepy brain is working too slowly rn, sorry

Ed2t: because just in case you aren't elim you probably shouldnt tell the whole thread and definitely the elims

Honestly tho I really hope we're not MLing you

Rollover in 2.5 hours!

[InfiniteInsanity Bloodsealer]

Buttons stopped working and weird things happened sorry. I'm just going to base my vote off of what I've seen people saying this round. Which I've noticed y'all don't seem to like much so sorry. 

But what I've noticed is that a lot of people that Kas a marked as a person they thought was village have seen Cash as suspicious. Something tells me that Kas was at least somewhat in the right track. So I'm trusting that the last reads Kas made are somewhat right.

[Cash67 Misting]

Well, I guess this do be goodbye o7

im going to sleep, it’s 11 pm where I am, so I’ve said my piece and done what I think I can. I can’t hand the honorblade off, and if my thoughts are correct it’s a coin flip whether or not it first to elims or village. It’s up to y’all to find an elim to vote off. 
 

My final accusation is Archer (assuming I get yeeted tonight)…. barring that it’s Xino.  Take that as you will, and see y’all tomorrow?

[The Known Novel King's Tester]

Cash. That continued insistence on five elims remaining feels v, as does harping on a strongly v!read Archer. If they flip elim, which I'm not discounting, I would be extremely worried about a six man team.

[Ashbringer Mistborn]

Time! Rollover is hopefully short.

LG91 Night 4: Battar Up

The death of a warrior shook the city of Earthen Truth. They may be lower in the class, but when they were needed they were loyal and true. And an expert at dealing with infiltrators. So for one to die in the night, with little more than a nameless grunt as recompense, the city was on edge even with Stick taken care of.

Egg-son-chicken had claimed to hold an Honorblade. One with Surges capable of stopping such an act. Well, that part had been true at least. The bloodthirsty citizens soon found that not every such event was a traitor over a tragedy.

 

Cash67 was executed! They were a member of the Shin High Council and the Bearer of Battar's Honorblade!

Battar's Honorblade has been redistributed!
