Sart Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 I have a policy of only playing one game at a time. Luckily, I just died in the Long Game, so I'm free to sign up for this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Well, unfortunately I'm going to drop out of my first Co-GM and just play, as this seems like it needs it, and give it a chance to actually run I'll run/help run one later, when school didn't just start for everybody. I'll sign up as Martim, a fat and lazy Obligator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gears Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Alas, my village streak continues. Ties result in no death, and there is no vote manipulation. Make sure to avoid ties so we can learn from the lynch. The following is an analysis of metals: Pewter: Protect from one kill. I would expect few vials as kill protection is valuable. If targeted with 2 kills when burning, you will still die. Note that you must burn your pewter to receive this bonus. Tin: You know one person who targeted you. I would expect many vials as learning one and only one person that targeted you seems less than useful. To question someone about why they targeted you, you must claim. Steel: A kill. I would expect few vials as a kill is valuable. Iron: A protect. I would expect few vials as a protect is valuable. If your target gets killed twice, they will still die. However, the Lurcher is vulnerable to being killed. This is announced in the write-up. Bronze: Learn if the target used a metal action [so the kill will not be known], which metal, and if they targeted someone. I would expect some vials as this is very informative but NAI. Copper: You+1 immune to brass, zinc, and bronze. I would expect few vials as this ensures an action going through. @Straw, would a Seeker scanning a person shielded by copper see them using no metal action? Brass: A roleblock [doesn't stop the kill]. I would expect some vials as this is a decent option but doesn't stop the kill. The target still loses the metal charge, so perhaps this could become a war of attrition. Zinc: A redirect [doesn't affect the kill]. I would expect some vials as this is informative but doesn't affect the kill. 2 Riots cancel each other out, so choose wisely. Gold: Tells you what targeted you. I would expect some vials as this is informative but doesn't tell you who did it. 2 actions. Conclusion: Nothing can affect the kill except for the protects. There is no vote manipulation. Nothing allows one to trace an action to a person. This will be difficult. Malcolm Anerchis was new to the Steel Ministry. He hadn't even gotten his spikes yet. However, according to the higher-ups, there were skaa in the class. Before anyone got their spikes, the skaa had to be eliminated. He was so looking forward to having a spike for an eye, so he began to ponder methods of catching skaa. However, he came up short. Gold allowed one to know what was affecting you, but not what caused it. Bronze detected if someone was using metals, not who they were using them on, and it couldn't even detect those filthy skaa's kill. Tin told who targeted you, but not what they did, and if the kill targeted you, obviously you'd be dead. It seemed that Iron usage could protect someone else from the skaa and be publicly known, but again, the instigator was unknown. Multiple metals would have to be used in conjunction, but none of them were Mistborn. Would they have to trust each other? He shuddered at the thought, but couldn't think of any other ideas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Well, I'm back an hour earlier than I had thought! So that's good. Nothing much yet. Some role analysis, and an Araris Stab Vote™, (which I do understand isn't a poke.) The analysis by Gears is NAI, as well is the vote. I'll wait for other people to say stuff before I do, as per usual Let's get those Skaa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sart Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 @Straw Is there any way to gain additional charges of your metal? I didn't see it anywhere in the ruleset, but I just wanted to be clear. Gears. It's sometimes a tell if a player vocally complains that they are a villager after a streak of being a villager.

It's sometimes a tell if a player vocally complains that they are a villager after a streak of being a villager. I forgot about my plan to mislead and confuse the village by claiming elim. What a shame. I suppose claiming now would be pointless, so I'll do it anyways. I am an elim. Huzzah, praise Harmony. I am a low-down skaa-blooded individual with no right to be entering the Steel Ministry. I shall kill you all one by one in the night and there is nothing you can do about it since the roleblock and the redirect don't affect the kill. *evil laughter* Strike me down and another shall take my place. This world is nothing but pain under the Lord Ruler's rule, and you Obligators reinforce his rule. We'll bring you down, then we'll bring him down. It's only a matter of time. Fear me and my ilk, but know that we are the ones who will bring down the whole regime. [It actually would have fit my character to be an elim. He's dating the Anarchist somewhere in the timeline, and he may or may not be a professional assassin.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elandera Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Hello. I'd offer a flourishing bow, but I'm afraid I'd break something or someone. Myself included. I am incredibly sleep deprived at the moment, so nonsensical things will be expected for at least a day or two. Sorry. But I am here. Sort of.

Said it partly out of the annoyance when I realized I couldn't get any vials of metal But actually, that's all a lie! I actually am a coinshot! Edit: Hey, Vapor! @Vapor Come join the party!
