Sart Posted February 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) The Night was quiet. Perhaps daunted by the slaughter of their masters, the Wild Chalklings horde only timidly nibbled at the Camp's Defense, being repelled at every turn. The town was on guard, and they prevented any more death. No one died!

Burnt Spaghetti Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Oh that's interesting. Camp defence was at 3, so +1 from the bucket during the day, and I decided to ward, giving the other 2. (I realise it wasn't needed but figured it was at least an action that could be easily confirmed, and confirmable actions seem valuable at this point. Though. Now that there was no NK, this, makes this not as useful ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 I'm okay with the shortened day. I buy that Flyingbooks attempted to pass the SB, so their action could not have been used for defence. It could have been a few different people, but Devo with their Warding specialization is a good bet. Flyingbooks knew of the scan plan. We said, take your pick of Burnt and Devo and scan them. They chose Devo and specifically said they’d do the specialized version. They committed to that at 7pm, before Kas mentioned at 8pm that they planned to do LoM+. That's a risky gambit if they weren't their teammate because Devo's action would have been hard to predict. On the day Connie was exed, barely any elims voted. Everyone who voted then has either flipped or been soft cleared except Devo. I know Devo's style is to vote late, but to me, it looks like they've been bussing. Two people told me they tried to RB Devo last night, so that explains how they submitted a NK and no one died. Gears posted halfway through my typing all this and sealed the deal. I don't think there's any way he could have gotten that as a false result, so they're either lying or Devo is evil. Devo was getting exed either way, so there's no reason for Gears to lie. Devotary I taught Araris a specialization last night to prove I'm not evil. Gears, any update on your chalk situation? That's a loose end that still confuses me.

I would be told that I failed, not that I was roleblocked if I was Vigor+-ed, which is the phrase I got, so... Maybe Books engaged in a final revenge? I too would be amenable to the shortened cycle. Doesn't seem like we'll need the extra time. The Servant of the Mad God smiled as the webs of lies began to crumble around Kaniae Moreau. It had seen them try to stab Elysian, even as Elysian fought them off in the dark. He knew, and that knowledge was sweet, like honey and velvet and charcoal. Their eyes would make a delightful trophy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we know for a fact that Gears got a false result, since Gears didn't have any chalk according to Kas's spreadsheet, Araris claims to have roleblocked me, and nobody else has the LoM+ specialisation or rainbow chalk so they would have just seen no action taken instead of a LoM+ at Mist. If it's Gears claiming to have personally scanned me that's just a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's Gears claiming to have personally scanned me that's just a lie. I had 1 Chalk on N5, took a Chalk N5, and took a Chalk D6 before going into my standard pattern of using at night, taking in the day. I have so much Chalk. Your words are false. Unfortunately for you. As an aside, then why didn't you vote me? The Servant of the Mad God watched as Kaniae grasped at straws, scrambled at lies, ferociously tried to evade the inevitable fate that awaited them. Fascinating, what a person will conjure in times of desperation. The words gleamed in the light like shattered glass, cutting at the fingers of all who tried to grasp them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making sure that you were committing to the claim of scanning me so they'll know who to vote for next. Gears. I'm fine with a shortened cycle. Started with Chalk D1. I did claim Chalk, but I suppose Kas never updated the spreadsheet. See here. Devotary, you did well. Based on your actions alone, I would not have discerned your identity. The flaw was in Books grabbing the Shadowblaze [forcing everyone to cover them], submitting kills despite the action scan claims, and submitting this kill now. You and Mist were the only targets, and several people had scans. Then again, we were planning on X-ing you first, so perhaps this latest kill didn't help. Killing Kas during the mass scanning was probably the beginning of the end. [Is this demeaning? I don't mean it to be demeaning. It's a compliment. You and the elims did wonderfully. In fact, if you hadn't killed Kas when all the scans were being thrown about, Books probably would have made it to the end with the Shadowblaze trust.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sart Posted February 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) The camp cornered Kaniae Moreau. "We know you're the last Forgotten!" shouted Elysian. "Just give it up already." added Tria Noche. Kaniae scowled. "Humans, always so unpredictable. Do you really think you've won? We've decimated your numbers. What can six survivors do against an army of Forgotten?" "We'll adapt and learn, just like we always have." spoke Evan Wallace. A random bystander nodded silently, head down in her book. "We'll fight on till our last breath!" argued Tia Vuur. "And when all is said and done, we'll desecrate your corpses." whispered the Servant of the Mad God. With no way out, Kaniae sighed. "I accept my defeat." Her body writhed, and exploded in a mass of chalklings. The survivors had won this battle. Now, it was time to win the war.

Archer Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Some time later. They had a nice garden, this – Evan looked down, checking the address on letter in front of him – Hougetsu. Flowers lined the walkway up to their door, reds, blues, and whites just starting to bloom. He had practiced what he was going to say on the journey to Japan. Shimamura was brave. They were caring. They were… He paused as he pictured the response. Sobbing. Screams. And questions. How did they die, Evan? How did they die? They had a nice doormat too. It wasn’t well worn. He wondered if they got many visitors. Evan stood still for a minute. It started to rain. No, that was just tears falling on the page. The sun was starting to set. How long had he been standing there? Inside the house, he heard a thump. The boy made a snap decision. Ding dong. Ding dong. He was out of the garden and up the street by the second ding. Sakura’s letter lay on the mat, waiting to be found. *** A week later, a different letter arrived in the mailbox of Ms. Emilia Wallace. Hey mom. I made it to the front lines. The people there are nice, but I didn’t find Dad. There was a problem with the defence and people kept I’m okay though. We went to an old building that had supplies. I found a map. It had a spot circled on it that we never ended up going to, further away from the fighting. Mom, I know what his circles look like. I know Dad marked this map. I need to follow it. I’m going back now to pick up the trail. They gave me money so I’ve bought some better gear this time. I’ll write you when I can. One more thing. There was something else in the envelope. A photo. Not old and smeared, no, though it bore a striking resemblance to the one Evan still carried in the pocket over his heart. It was a young man in a crimson coat, posing with a vial of acid and a spring-powered crab. I paid a man at the station to take this. Hang on to it for me? I Evan had hesitated before he wrote the last line. There was a smudge where he’d lifted his pen before finishing the sentence. I don’t want to become forgotten. All my love. Evan. *** General Notes: -Woo hoo! Thank you for running this, Sart. I initially thought that four elims would be enough to balance, but it worked out with five, so that was ultimately a good choice. In retrospect, the ability to scan or NKs was a big boost for the village, especially near the end. -I enjoyed playing my role. The restriction to only being able to teach at night was a good addition. I also liked that it wasn’t a death sentence if I told the wrong person (or the whole group), as the possibility of conversion provided some incentive to not NK me. I’m kicking myself that I was duped into teaching two elims, but that’s how it goes sometimes. -Speaking of which, Flyingbooks grabbing the Shadowblaze was a fabulous gambit. I was certain they were village. -Lotus grabbing the gun to kill someone as they died was also a clever move. -Apologies for shooting you Ventyl. That was a combination of you having a similar playstyle to what many of the elims were doing and me making a bad call when I felt pressure to use the item before I was converted. (I’m happy I didn’t end up shooting Araris though. Wow did I flip flop on them a lot throughout the game) -Devo, I respect you submitting the NK last night and not switching to just playing like a villager. You and the rest of the elim team played a good game. It's always nice to see a long elim doc. -Thanks for posting your notes, Kas. They were very helpful! -I much enjoyed dueling people in PMs. You know who you are. -This whole game is still less pages than QF50. Ha. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbringer Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 What I was planning on posting before I was killed: Faleast lowered a trembling hand to the ground. It had been a gambit, learning to sketch Revocation lines. They were new even to the world of Rithmatics, and tended to be rather... frowned upon in existence, even if he had no Rithmatic abilities at the time. Time to see if it had paid off. Weren't we doing something else? Something pirate-y? AraRaash asked. "Fairly certain you gave yourself an eye infection from wearing an eyepatch all day," Faleast whispered. "Or will give yourself. However time works." That's... not how that works. That's essentially the opposite of how that works. But I'm not allowed to break the fourth wall on that one. Medical records and all that. Can't have me given away. Faleast had a brief chuckle at the thought of anyone "allowing" AraRaash to do something. There were only... what, five people that he actually listened to. One was dead, one was missing, two were Shards, and one was... something more than that. Suddenly he wasn't chuckling as much. "Anyway... here it goes," Faleast said. He didn't start with the traditional Line of Vigor. It didn't feel... right. Plus he already had some idea what he was supposed to, thanks to the arena those months ago. So, he drew a chalkling. A mistwraith chalkling. Mistwraiths, in a way, were easy to draw, because it was almost impossible to make a mistake. Any misdrawn line could just be an extra limb once properly shaded and given bones for structure. But Faleast was still quite careful, as he'd seen mistwraiths before, and he knew that for all their reputation they were not random. So he gave it a pair of heads, one on each "end" - one the head and neck of a horse mostly intact, the other a grotesquely beautiful combination of a boar's skull and human ribs. Along the sides, little skulls with their mandibles missing to act as eye sockets, for the primitive eyes mistwraiths had. And a series of legs, some long and spidery made from multiple interlocking femurs, some short and stubbly that split at the end from the humerus, radii, and ulna. And a few internal structural bones for good measure. Faleast and AraRaash took a deep breath, then raised their chalk from the stone floor. Together. The chalkling twitched. Then its legs found purchase on the surface, and it turned around to face its maker. Faleast started blinking rapidly, and AraRaash let out a whoop. The combination of those actions probably looked ridiculous, but they didn't care. Faleast ran over back to the group, excitement overcoming common sense. "Guys! I did it! I'm a Rithmatist, I found a Shadowblaze! I can draw lines now!" He paused, chalk still triumphantly in the air. "Why is everyone looking at me like that?" Mission Accomplished I have an idea for something else, too. Stay tuned. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrikerEZ Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 I just want to say that I really had a blast playing this game. Even if I do wish I'd actually gotten a chance to use some of the items and stuff I'd hoarded up, it was really fun PM spidering and doing stuff like that. And while I can understand why everyone thought I was suspicious...I also want to know why people kept thinking I was suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
