Alvron Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Lopen. I'm not 100% sure of Lopen being evil but at same time I can't see why Ec3 would reveal himself as the Truthwatcher if he's lying. I don't see what he gains from it. Sure Lopen is sent to jail but Ec3 wasn't really in any danger that I can tell. But I also don't want to be lynched so I have to vote on Lopen. Joe, just what have I done that you find suspicious? Apart from survive a couple of lynches that is. Oh and, Drake, Ari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jondesu Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) By my count we have 6 votes to free Drake, but we need...12. 11 if Aman rounds down. Yeah, sorry, Drake, but the Unjust wouldn't let us get to that based on numbers. Not changing my vote of course, since I want to see Arin's alignment, but I do find myself a bit sad we didn't pull it off largely due to inactives. @Elbereth, @TheSilverDragon, you were here, can you please come back and play? And if we didn't have a strong lead on someone, I'd say we'd have to imprison the inactive @JUQ and @The lazy anarchist, since they're going to make it difficult to even execute someone, which means we'll have virtually no hard information except from Elim kills, which is a bad situation. Hopefully the Dustbringer will be village and can help us out. EDIT: We also only have 7 votes to execute Arin. With 15 free players (I almost said active players ) we need 8 to execute, so we're okay with my vote manip, but it'd be nice to see that more decisive to avoid any shenanigans beyond the Elsecaller blocking us (but they'll be revealed if so, if I understood Aman correctly). EDIT 2: @A Joe in the Bush, I just wanted to let you know I did go back and confirm that I was just somehow way off on your Honor count. I think I counted 6 instead of 5, but that just means Aman must have been stricter on something one of those rounds. Didn't want you to think I'd forgotten, though. EDIT 3: While I'm tagging people, we need votes from @Assassin in Burgundy, @DroughtBringer. and @Shqueeves as well, in addition to the people I've already tagged. EDIT 4: RP! Kintas pulled himself up short as he noticed the storm. He shouted to the nearest of the Alethi soldiers, telling them to go warn the others that the storm that was nearing was the Everstorm, in case others hadn't noticed as well. It was easy to get mixed up in this type of fighting and not notice something like that, especially since the stormwall itself wasn't visibly different. He turned back to determine what Shallan was doing, exactly. It seemed she was headed for an area near the top of the Rysharock itself, and as he watched, her arm disappeared around a perfectly smooth cut in the rock. That must be where Kaladin was; if he'd managed to cut himself a windbreak and a hiding spot before running out of Stormlight completely, he'd still be up there but could be in bad shape. Shallan had spheres with her, though, so he was certain Kaladin would recover soon. In the meantime, the storm was far too close, and they had to either drive away the Voidbringers or flee themselves, and either way, they would need a miracle to help them weather the Everstorm. There wasn't a whole lot of cover out on the Plains, and he certainly didn't want to be down in one of the chasms during this flood; it would make the flash flood they'd experienced the day before look like a puddle. He looked around and noticed the strange spren sitting on his shoulder again. He felt it pushing him to do something, say something. "I will go where others will not, and learn what others have not." He felt something shift, and drew upon his spheres, and inadvertently, the spheres of a number of Alethi solders around him. His skin glowed and when he exhaled, Stormlight flowed out with it. A faint glyph appeared in the stone beneath him, one he recognized now as the glyph of the Willshapers, stylized to look like… a flower, perhaps? He dropped to his knees, acting on instinct and the spren's urging, and pushed downward. The stone flowed as he did, molding itself into a new shape, rippling around him and causing short walls to appear between the soldiers and their opponents. It wasn't much, but it would throw the Voidbringers off further. He didn't know exactly what he'd done, but his mind filled in the basic conclusion: that was the surge of Cohesion! He'd come to study the Surges, among other things, but had never dreamed of experiencing them first-hand, considering the strict requirements of being Initiated here. He shoved aside his scholarly mind again, with more effort than before, and began to hunt for ways to use this new power. He wasn't sure exactly how he'd done it, so he hoped he could repeat the feat again. Edited March 2, 2017 by Jondesu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeTess Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 10 hours ago, TheMightyLopen said: Yeah, I messed up with that whole situation last Cycle. There wasn't any one thing that Alv said to me that changed my mind. 10 hours ago, Alvron said: Honestly, I have no idea what I said that made Lopen change his mind. He did say he wasn't sure which of us (me or Ari) was an Elim. Right before he changed his vote he asked if I was the Willshaper and I said I wasn't going to say and since it seems I'm going to jail he will just have to execute me and find out. Then he said he was confused and I said that if he's taking suggestions then I recommend Ari. He then changed his vote but said he done so before reading my last PM. He hasn't responded to any of my PMs since then, although to be fair there was only two. So let me get this straight. You, Lopen, let Alvron, someone who you had been suspecting since cycle 4 or thereabouts, go because he asked nicely to vote on arin? I'd say you where smarter than that, only I think this was pretty much exactly how the conversation in the elim doc went. So, Lopen. I'm pretty sure now that both Alvron and Lopen are elims, but given that Lopen has been claiming that alvron was the elsecaller, I highly doubt alvron actually is.

DeTess Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Ranatar twisted aside from another Shardblade strike, his lifeless left arm flopping through the air. The Voidbringer general had managed to finally land a telling blow on him several moments before. Ranatar didn’t have much Stormlight left, so he’d intentionally blocked it from flowing into his arm. He knew that the moment he ran out, he’d be dead anyway. However, between him and the initiate that had saved him, they’d started to wear down the Voidbringer. It’s armor had a large number of tiny cracks leaking stormlight, and the wound to its leg had noticeably impaired its mobility. Ranatar doubted they’d have been able to stand up against it if it had still been able to run and leap around like a shardbearer normally could. With the mobility advantage squarely on their side, he and his rescuer had been able to start wearing it down. It wasn’t happening fast enough, though. Ranatar’s stormlight was running out fast, and despite the numerous cracks in the creatures armor, they’d yet to destroy any part of it. Time was squarely on the creatures side. They'd have to figure out a way to take it down, and fast. @DroughtBringer, I think we've left Eshonai waiting long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecthelion III Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Fifth ran as fast as he could back to Rysharock, hoping that he could make it back up before anything happened to Shallan. With a surge of fear, he noticed that some of the Voidbringers at the base of the rock formation had begun to climb up. Toward Shallan. Fifth broke into a full-on sprint. He had to-- Suddenly he found himself sliding to a stop. He had veered too far to the right, and standing between him and the tower was the Shardbearer. 'd by Ranatar.

Droughtbringer Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Petrik spun around the Shardbearer, his energy quickly leaving him. As the Shardbearer swung their blade towards Petrik he lept upwards, catching his left hand on the flat of the blade and flipping his legs around to kick the Shardbearer in the helm. As the shock reverberated through him a pain shot up his legs, but quickly faded. As Petrik landed on the ground his energy seemed to run out, he nearly collapsed from the sudden lack of energy. The faceplate now was seeping stormlight, and the Initiate seemed to have gotten in another blow at the Shardbearer legs during the movement. @randuir, @etchelion (won't let me tag you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecthelion III Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 ...and you, my faithful Hunter, are here for that purpose. When all other means have failed, you are to eliminate them. - Using the immense velocity he had built up, Fifth launched himself into the air and landed between the Shardbearer and Petrik. The latter was sagging with exhaustion; clearly he'd used up most of his Stormlight. However, the effect Petrik had had on the battle was noticeable--the Shardbearer's faceplate was cracked and leaking light. Fifth half-smiled and raised his twin hook swords. The Voidbringer raised its own Blade and sang. Fifth could tell it was laughing at him. The creature swung its Shardblade almost casually. Fifth held up his swords to parry. The weapons connected. With a yell of surprise, the Voidbringer fell off balance, expecting its Blade to shear right through the swords but instead meeting resistance. It quickly recovered and fell into a proper combat stance. Fifth did the same. Finally, a fair fight. Their blades connected again. The combatants danced around the battleground, thrusting, slashing, parrying. Despite Fifth having one more sword than his opponent, neither gained the upper hand. The world around them faded to black as Fifth's focus turned exclusively to himself and his opponent. As the Voidbringer brought its sword down, Fifth spun to the side, using one sword to parry and keeping the other one open for attack. He thrust it forward but the Voidbringer dodged, paying him back with a slash from the Shardblade. Fifth hooked the end of it with his own sword and pulled it to attempt to throw his opponent off balance. The Voidbringer stumbled back and brought the Shardblade forward for a parry. This met one of Fifth's swords, but it left him open for another attack from the side. Fifth could have hit the creature's faceplate, likely shattering it. Instead, he curved his sword downward and sliced its already exposed forearm. Voidbringer blood splashed onto Fifth's cloak. The two combatants paused for a moment. The Shardbearer changed its song to one that sounded almost like a jeer. Foolish Alethi, Fifth could almost hear it say, even when the opportunity to kill is staring you in the face, you still can't pull it off. Fifth responded by running a finger across his blood-streaked cloak. He pulled back his sleeve and used the Voidbringer's blood to draw a little symbol on his skin. A circle surrounded by runes. He heard PRIME's voice: Mental Connections are the easiest to forge, and knowing the thoughts of another can be a powerful psychological tool and weapon. The more martial of you may brush aside the Mental powers, but do not underestimate their usefulness in combat situations as well. The place on Fifth's arm where he had drawn the symbol glowed with a faint light, increasing in intensity until its rays were almost blinding. Fifth's face changed for a split second, taking on an inhuman form. It was the form of the Voidbringer he was fighting. Fifth could see the its thoughts taking physical form. The creature swung its blade down, and Fifth brought up his hook sword to parry, predicting its exact movement. Knowing when the Shardbearer would be off-balance, he swung with his other sword, connecting with the flank of the its Shardplate with a crack. Its Shardblade swung once again, but Fifth could see it move before it came. He spun to the side leaving plenty of time to spare for his counterattack that batted the Voidbringer back and broke its armor in a couple more places. The enemy changed stances, but Fifth, knowing its exact movements, dealt a slash to the head, cracking the Plate there even further. The tide had turned. It wouldn't be long before-- Fifth was so focused on his personal battle with the Shardbearer that he failed to notice a slash from another Voidbringer until it had already hit him. The blow sent him crashing to the ground. The Shardbearer raised its Blade and sang louder than ever. In the face of this, Fifth half-smiled. "You really should pay attention to who is behind you..." - @randuir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from survive a couple of lynches that is. Oh and, Drake, Ari. Well there is the idea that the eliminators might be about to win and another villager lynch might secure the win. You can't see that as a possibility? Of course, that would mean one of their own was in danger of the lynch, meaning he'd have to pull this gambit, and I'd say you were definitely the most likely lynch target this Cycle. Also, you personally may not have done much that's suspicious, but you haven't done anything village either, that I can remember at least. 16 hours ago, randuir said: So let me get this straight.

I've played with Alv a lot. Something like 20 games or so? Maybe more than that. So I felt I could read him to some extent(turns out I can't >>), and I thought Ecth was going to scan him, so we'd have proof one way or the other. Is that really so hard to believe? There's still the problem of Ecth's claims. You either believe him, in which case you think I Bonded the Inkspren on C5, or you don't believe him, which means I'm being framed. How can you ignore that? Instead, focusing on a mistake I made last Cycle that seems fairly reasonable a mistake to make for a villager. 5 hours ago, Darkness Ascendant said: *sigh This is all very confusing.

Darkness Ascendant Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 The Phantom Stranger found the main chamber in a few moments, aided by the convenient brackets on the walls. The Oathgate had to have some secrets behind it, what was it that allowed it to travel vast distances within a single moment? The whole contraption was an ancient fabrial of some sort. The key was in the spren which the Initiates had. The power was the stormlight...the channel the fabrial....but what where was the direction? What determined the physics of the jump? How did it know where to go? This storms cur- since when did he use their rusting swears? They didn't even mean anything! This whole world baffled him. Giant crabs...magic fish...strange people. If only he could attract a spren! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeTess Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Ranatar gathered what Stormlight he could from his surroundings, breathing in from nearby gemstones and the light that bled from the Shardbearer’s armor. Then he struck at the opening Nameless had created for him. The creature’s helmet was cracked to the point of bursting, so a single solid blow would break it and go through, splitting it’s skull and killing the brute. Ranatar didn’t know what had warned the monster. Maybe it was some sense unique to their species. Maybe it was the triumphant glint in Nameless'eyes. Maybe it was a warning note sung by the creature’s companions that where rushing in to help it. Whatever it was, it resulted in the creature whirling around and taking a step back, placing its head out of the reach of Ranatar’s blow. His word travelled through the air, missing the target and… A shock went through Ranatar’s arm as his blade connected with the raised sword-arm of the creature. The plate protecting it had broken in the battle, and his blow cut straight through. The Shardblade disappeared in a puff of mist as the hand holding it started to fall. Ranatar started bringing his sword around for another strike at the creature’s head when a blow to his back send him sprawling against the hard rock. Several Voidbringers had broken contact with the Alethi forces and had rushed in to protect their leader. One of them had struck Ranatar with some kind of mace, but rather than bothering to finish him or the other initiates, they simply formed a protective wall around their leader and escorted it away from the fighting. Ranatar tried to get up and chase them, but his remaining Stormlight was used up repairing the damage from the blow to his back, and he collapsed back to the ground, fatigue almost sending him into unconsciousness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
