You alright Kas?  Maybe you need to take a nap as you seem to be about 12 hours early for that post.

I'll come back again and maths, I kept reminding myself to do the 11 check and forgot, thanks for the catch  

[Alvron]

You are feeling sleepy, very sleepy.
You want to take a nap.

[Steeldancer]

Alright, settle down, settle down. Thank you for coming today, I know this report has been greatly anticipated. [Waits for applause.... none comes]
I will note that usually, these independent investigators report directly to me, and usually I don't share everything they find with everyone. But in the interests of being open with my voters, I want to share everything the report found this time. 
The independent investigators have come to a very clear, very unique position: Matrim's dice is 100% being bribed. His interactions with Striker and Elandera, when you read back through, are clearly indicative of planning together and working to get each other voted. He practically oozes evil. 
After looking through Archer's record, it seems very clear that he is trustworthy, so I'm going to second my own vote on him. 
I am also pretty certain Tani isn't evil. Although they could be just trying to win my trust. As a result, I'll vote Tani. 
Tani, I'd like to trust you so I can get you that Fanta you requested. 
Alvron, as usual, is my favorite person to play with. It's always NAI, but I enjoy his quips. So I say we keep him alive for now and don't vote him. Cuz he funny. 
Fifth, I'm very wary of. I'm probably not going to support him anymore, because I feel like he's just too dangerous at this point. I would appreciate his promise regarding his character to be fulfilled at some point. 
Szeth, feels villagerish, sort of. Some of their comments feel a bit suspicious to me, but on the whole they have a nice, wholesome village vibe. 
Biplet also a bit sus, although their activity is a bit low to tell if their interactions are NAI or just... sheeping. 
I trust Mist, sort of. 
Lotus might be evil, if Biplet is evil. Idk. 
I think that's about it for now. 
So as we can all see, we're in a precarious position. 2 elims voted, 2 villagers. Max two cycles before lylo. Archer seems a safe bet, but what will we do when Archer is gone? The Tineye cannot even truly clear us all, for there is a little birdy among us (lol I finally read the role list and learned about that today). So, we need a new leader. One we can trust. 
At the end of the day, the person I can vouch for the most is me. I know I'm village. If Archer is village, then I know that I am a safe bet for winning the game. I know my record isn't totally clear, but I have been trying my best to have fun this game. So, my friends (and enemies, if you feel so inclined), next cycle, vote for Steel! Bring equality to the factories! Bring justice back to our community! 
 

[Kasimir]

Hi guys,

Your actual, non-false alarm 24 hours left (well, slightly under 24 hours) warning is here. Get those votes and actions in!

[Alvron]

When I said to take a nap, I only meant Kas not the whole thread.
Wake up people!
*points finger*
Not you Kas, you go back to sleep.

♪♫♪♫♪
Hush, little Kas-y, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light, enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
♫♪♫♪♫

Hello and welcome to KAS radio, the best source for local and regional news.

Our normal hosts, Jim and Bob, are out right now. I'll be filling in for them.

I seem to be suspicious most of Steel and Araris at the moment, although really I find everyone except for Alvon and Illwei to be suspicious, so thats not much help.

I believe I did already vote Archer and I stand by that vote, but going to have The unknown order for worker leader.

Thats it for now but stay tuned for more KAS radio!

Still not in the game

I'm gonna make a prediction. Everyone who's forgotten that Illwei isn't in the game anymore is an elim.

The Steel Election Commission would like to ask why you think the campaign is untrustworthy.

Tani has exactly the same take on Steel as me.

Very good point. But I'm out of clean people to trust besides Liranil

Relatable content. I can't wait for the spreadsheet reveal so we can see how the roles have been affecting this game.

I'd guess the elims would notice if their teammate was swapped out. So e!Illwei/Mist = village forgetful people. 

If Illwei/Mist is village, the elims are more likely not to have noticed because they're faking their analysis and nkt trying super hard to solve the game. 

I'm village and I totally just forgot though. Luckily I'm done with the LG so now I have plenty of time to... I'm being exed??? Travesty! Ah well :P.

My friends, I feel my mind has finally broken enough for me to consider entering into politics. While some leaders claim to have a vision, I have visions! Last night, I saw a figure thin as a pole, all white, carrying a crude bow, dancing through the streets. The sight of it gave me... conviction. I require a seat on the council and a modest salary so that I may take the time to study what the gods are telling me must be done. It is not often one sees an assassin in white. I feel directed, likely towards some delightful acts of violence. I'd stake my reputation on this feeling that death is on the horizon. 

Also, I must commend this fabulous Bar for its wonderful selection of drinks. I have finally sampled them all. Twice. The honey mead is especially thirst quenching. 

Tonight, fellow workers, drink a toast to liberation! I'll see you when the chalk dust settles. 

- Chalkboard 

[Mist]

Hmmm. My top trust is Illwei, though I'm wondering why she isn't talking at all.

 

[Quivil]

That's easy: you replaced her.

I've done a thing-where-you-color-alignments-on-the-votes.

Inb4 the Tineye was a lie and it was only ever vanillas  No, no, I'm joking, each role is in the game...

Time-check: 40 minutes to rollover. Make the changes and submissions you need to!

Me, while counting votes:

Yes, but have you also considered that my gut has been medically confirmed as a Darkfriend by several reputable sources, most notably the Board of GMs Wondering How the Village Managed to Lose LG46?  

Now I feel old when I remember I was down for the original Fanging of Dellan's gut and it still feels like I'm that darned new guy who crawled out of two games in a row getting shot/stabbed by Wyrm

[Biplet]

Yeah i can get behind Archer

[Kasimir]

The cycle is closed, and I will express my disappointment in all of you for needing to make me go consult RNGesus for your Worker Leader. Seriously guys?  I know y'all like ties and I sure like wearing a good tie but a five-way has got to be extreme.

[Kasimir]

Cycle Six - 13th Doxil, 237

Archer was elected to the Inner Circle by the biggest landslide since RIP Drake in LG78! Technically the same as TUO I guess He was aligned with the Workers!

Alvron has been elected Worker Leader! (C'mon y'all made me RNGesus this did you really expect anyone else to win...)

The cycle has begun, and will end at 2300hrs (GMT+8) on Wednesday, 7th July!

Heh

Tbh I’m open to suggestions cause I dunno what to do and we’re this close

I guess I’ll start with Liranil and Alvron again because I literally trust no one >>

[Fifth Scholar]

(I will provide feedback on attempted solutions to any of the puzzles, if people want to take a shot ) 

Since apparently nobody agrees with me on Bip besides Araris, whose voting record is as bad as mine, I’ll take Archer’s advice and go Liranil. I’d like to examine her more carefully before the end of the cycle, though, as nothing she’s actually done has made her very clear in my eyes. With that said, I still think Bip is pretty much impossible as an eliminator, so I’m fine with her being WL in the eventuality that we’re wrong and this drags to a seventh cycle, even if we’re not gonna put her up for the IC because y’all don’t trust my plan enough despite it producing exactly what I said it would  

[Steeldancer]

Vote for Steel! Win the game!

[Quivil]

Vote for Steel Tani! Win the game!

Steel.

Edited July 5, 2021 by Tani

[Ashbringer]

You know, I’ve got a mind not to listen to any of these people.

Hmm.

[Quivil]

I wonder why.  Probably because both of us are being sillygoofs.

[Kasimir]

Please be reminded that a successful Villager election this cycle does not end the game in a Village victory  

I can neither confirm nor deny the motives nor alignment of the Steel Campaign.
