  1. That's fair, I probably could have waited but I have always been a coward. I didn't know that my research was going to end the game though, there had been turns where no new commands were researched so I didn't know if I would have to do both researches to end the game. I could've not researched and risked it but I had already lived longer than expected when everybody knew I had a kill and I was expecting to be a target for the execution next turn (and I didn't trust stick fully which was probably unfair of me). Long story short I'm making excuses for being a bad friend and I should have waited. Some other random thoughts It's always tough to balance a faction game and the cowardly elites make it so much harder. The addition of Araris made the cult win condition so much easier but you can't really make all the factions win cons based on the chance that a CE joins. So all in all I think the balance was done quite well. (from the dead doc: I was not trying to gloat when messaging stick and JNV last cycle. I was hoping that if they combined their breath that day and the Archer breaths would pass to the right player it would be enough to get them the breath they needed. If I just told them that there's a good chance the cult would end the game then they could try and move the lynch. I didn't have all the information to know that the win was guaranteed like people watching did) Thanks for all the help kas, (even if you claim not to know how to play faction games) it was fun while it lasted!
  2. Thanks for running the game Steeldancer and Devotary! It was fun! I'd like to apologize to the adjuncts. As soon as Araris joined the cult the endgame started coming along much faster than I thought possible. I was worried that Stick was actually the infiltrator not Archer and that things would go poorly for the cult in the next night. I guess I was just paranoid.
  3. Yes, I am a cultist but not a serial killer. The cultist win condition is much more forgiving than the infiltrators and I've been working to make sure as many of the factions can win together as possible. Sorry for being quiet in the thread. I feel like most of the games been playing out in PMs so I've been focusing on that. I'm happy with getting rid of the infiltrators but I won't add my vote to Archer unless I have to. There are others who need the breath more than I do
  4. Well it looks like the lynch is pretty decided. I'll vote for Young Bard for the chance for some free breath
  5. TUN Voting for self proclaimed eliminators always seems like a safe bet to me. This kind of bandwagon doesn't really give much new information but this game doesn't really seem like we are learning stuff in the thread based off voting patterns. Instead people are just straight up telling everything about themselves
  6. Wow, looks like I missed a lot at the end of last cycle. Sorry I wasn't too active I shouldn't drop off for two days anymore in this game. So Mat is claiming that the followers of edgli are purely defensive and have no contradictory win conditions with any of the known factions? It seems like it could be reasonable. I have no idea what the distribution of roles is like. If all 5 scholars are in the game and other returned then that's a lot of people available for them to complete the win condition. I would think that at least their would have to be something else to it then. Unless one of the other secret factions win conditions is to kill all returned and they have a night kill. But like, I think Kas, said, there's easy ways around that with the double lives and protection action Mat mentioned having a history of making claims in some other games. I wasn't in those games so can someone who was around for that maybe summarize/ give a bit more info about how these claims went? Were they lies to cover being an elim or what?
  7. OOG stuff currently half of my country is without internet or even cell service so it's tough getting to be too active in this game. Hopefully it will comeback soon but I'll be basically off the radar till it does. As for in game stuff I'm unsure of how exactly to go forwards in a game like this still. It's tough to tell what's someone playing as an eliminator vs just a different faction than you let alone with the three secret factions. What is your reasoning for why you think it is only the cult and edgli groups that could be single player factions and not the the adjuncts of scholars? Both "The Adjuncts of the Scholars" and "The Followers of Edgli" are written as if they are a group and not an individual. As for "The Cult of Colors", a cult with only one person in it isn't a cult, I'm pretty sure it's just a delusion at that point. Unless you have some specific knowledge that might tell you this then I'm interested in where this came from.
  8. Well... That went horribly. Good game everyone! It was a fun way to get back into the game even if it was super quick. Thanks for running things Xino! I'll have more thoughts later when I get home form work
  9. vote=Stick I do think sticks been acting weird and I can't figure out what the plan is. It does seem like sticks trying to save mat, but mat has a vote on stick? Maybe something will change if they are tied in votes
  10. Only one of the people on your elim list could even afford to try and buy the bodyguard though. Don't worry I'll be changing my vote. I still haven't decided who to go for yet so you might still be disappointed. I am almost thinking that this whole "I'm definitely assassinating someone" thing is a ploy to try and get the elims to kill you when your actually going to spend all your boxings on the bodyguard instead. But honestly that sounds a bit convoluted It is a bit weird of stick, but if I remember correctly (which I probably don't) doing weird stuff was always kinda sticks gameplay style regardless of alignment. I do think it was odd to move the vote off of me so quick. Maybe nobody has me as their number one target but I think more people have thought I was leaning elim than village and maybe could've been conviced to vote for me. It does seem like sticks trying to get mat out of execution territory though
  11. Looks like there's nothing weird about TUNs activity that makes me less suspicious than before. I'm not new, I'm just very old so I seem new to everyone but Stick. So Sticks POE didn't technically only have new people on it. I'm pretty sure saying who you think is an elim while also saying that you plan to assassinate someone is very close to actually suggesting kill targets in the thread. But it's possibly also just a ploy to try and get people to spend money on the bodyguard while also stopping anyone from trying to buy the assassin. Seems like everybody is confirming that this type of activity is normal for TUN, I'm still getting more elim rather than villager vibes from TUN but that does make it less so. I might change my vote in a bit once I go through everything to make a full reads list. I think Devo being comfortable without doing any voting manipulation is slightly more elim feeling than villager, If you know that the person with more votes than you is a villager and they didn't have enough boxing to buy a bribe then you wouldn't have to worry about a teammate of theirs bribing the vote against you. Yeah, most of my posts were rule/mechanic and strategy based early. I find that's the easiest way to get into discussion because there's not much to base suspicions on. I will try an put together a quick reads lists now. Reads: Archer: Lean village. The self vote strategy from cycle one could be a bit odd, if everyone followed that then we don't get any good discussion early. But did move the vote off later Luckspren: ???. New player, hasn't done anything really suspicous and seems to be acting like I expect a new player to (confused). I don't think the GM save is anything more than because of being new Mat: Neutral. Didn't get too many thoughts after cycle 1. I don't think the post about hoping Tani is village is an elim thing. Just a weird thing. The quick double vote against in cycle two has me interested in devo Stick: Lean Elim. This one is mostly vibes, and maybe since Stick is the only one I've played with before I just have some bias Devo: Lean elim. Don't like the quick second vote on mat in cycle two, seemed like an attempt to get a bandwagon going early. The lack of self preservation with bribes was weird (I talked about it above) TUN: Lean Elim. Leaving the self vote on round one was odd to me. The change in activity is apparently normal so I won't look into that much. Hasn't really done anything this cycle so haven't had any new thoughts
  12. I don't think it's strong evidence. It was just the change in activity for TUN that made me think about it. It was a big change and I'm interested in why. I don't expect everyone to respond to everyone every cycle. As for me, I thought I had responded to 7 people. I lost one boxing because I made a list in response to JNV that the website didn't pick up as a response and I forgot to get up to 50 words in my response to stick.
  13. Yeah sorry about the double post. After my first post you edited your post with something that I wanted to respond to. I don't like adding fully new thoughts to a post since people can easily miss it if they already read the post once. I forget the rules about double posting here. Is that bad form? If so I will avoid it in the future. I just think it prevents confusion rather than editing in completely new thoughts. You're correct nobody could have actually bought an assassination this turn. I edited my post about the assassination purchase just before you posted this(which is a good example of the confusion of editing) because I realized the same thing you said and there was no way for anyone to afford to buy the assassination. The infiltrator kill even happens before the assassination so there's no way JNV could've bought it before dying.
