The Reavers have motivation to seek them out, but there isn't much reason for the Alliance to do so if the Reavers don't contact them in my opinion. Can you explain this more? I don’t think the Alliance will team up with each other either, but I think that’s cause they don’t know who their teammates are. If I were to guess I’d assume you’re talking about the Reavers teaming with the the Alliance, but your first sentence isn’t phrased that way.
Szeth Pancakes he/they Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Ok. I really don’t feel like getting exed here because I’m sticking to a gut read. Mat.
Elandera she/her Posted December 22, 2021 Author Posted December 22, 2021 You have an hour and a half to get your votes and actions in!

Illwei Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Hey mat, want to kill archer, lotus, and Seth with me? In that order?

Advice I’d give would be to not vote me Archer did already ask, but any particular reason you did? Thanks! Well, I mean your username is Matrim’s Dice, but you also say that you aren’t actually dice... How can I trust someone like that? All jokes aside, I just kind of picked at random.

Archer PMed me under the impression I was an Alliance member. I’m not. He, however, claimed he was also Alliance, so I claimed Alliance too to see what would happen. After some back-and-forth, I convinced him of my claim, and he told me he was actually a Reaver, and wanted to form an Alliance with the Alliance and go for a joint win . My vote on you was to further convince him I was Alliance and could be trusted. I was hoping to get more information out of him, but I can’t do that if I’m dead. If I get exed, you will see that I’m Crew, so you know you can trust the following information: Mat, Dannnex, Illwei, Ash, and TUA are not Reavers. They could be Alliance or the Operative, but they are not Reavers. Thank you for your time. Edit: Yes, it has crossed my mind that Archer could be Crew posing as a Reaver to get information out of me. However, I think this is the less likely option, so… Edited December 22, 2021 by Szeth_Pancakes

I said I don’t usually exe higher actives D1, but I think this time I’m willing to give it a shot. Szeth, Archer. If Archer flips Crew you’re next, though. I can’t imagine why Archer would PM you and claim Alliance but the rest of that is complex enough that I’m trusting it. Maybe that’s a mistake, guess we’ll see. Why that group as not-Reavers specifically? Illwei, your post I quoted before Szeth’s looks kinda TMI; why’d you suggest the order you did? Edit: Szeth’s edit does make me nervous though… it’s setting up a failure to backlash less at Szeth. But I guess there’s no definitive way for Szeth to know Archer’s alignment unless they’re both Reavers, and I’d say that’s definitely not the case lol Edited December 22, 2021 by Matrim's Dice

Why do these things always happen at half an hour to rollover and not like yesterday Talking to Archer now. I do feel a little like he could be village, but I'll keep you posted
Devotary of Spontaneity Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 This would be a weird thing for Szeth to do if he wasn't crew, so I won't vote for him. I have to leave now so I can't wait for Szeth and Archer to figure out what's going on there. Out of the remaining options, I'll vote for Ashbringer I guess since if Szeth is village it's marginally more likely Ash is evil and Matrim was exed C1 last game.
The Unknown Medallion he/him Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Szeth. more to come, but Szeth feels village because of that. Same with Archer.
Archer he/him Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Okay so basically I PMed Szeth with a message saying I think we're both Alliance, and then Szeth responds in a way that genuinely made me think they were Alliance. So naturally I tell them I'm a Reaver. The plan was to go deep cover and find the Secret if the exes went poorly, or to figure out who the team was through them. I'll try and explain it better next round but yeah. That backfired. :D. And I genuinely don't know if it was because of E!Szeth being worried and pulling their ace or v!Szeth playing me
Ashbringer he/him Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Well, this is weird. Archer and The Unknown filling in behind me is unnerving, but if we’re mostly down to a mess between Archer and Szeth I’d mostly want to stay on Szeth. I don’t know how he’d be so confident in my non-Reaver-ness unless he or R!Archer decided to out the entire Reaver team. Well, that and it seems like I’m option #3.

Elandera she/her Posted December 22, 2021 Author Posted December 22, 2021 Got caught up in spreadsheet stuff. This cycle is closed. Please stop PMing.
Elandera she/her Posted December 22, 2021 Author Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Cycle Two: Losing My Undefinable Allure Turns out you can't trust everyone. I learned that lesson plenty over the years. It's a good one to remember. Still, never thought it'd end up like this. Companions were supposed to be independent. Outside the political structures. Yet here we have two that ended up dyin' because the Alliance is so desperate to hold to their secrets. What else are they hidin'? Who else will they use as their pawns? Ashbringer has been executed! They were a Companion with the Alliance! Dannnnnnex has died! They were a Companion with the Crew! Vote count: Ashbringer (3) - Illwei, Devotary, Archer Szeth (1) - Ashbringer Archer (3) - Matrim, Szeth, Dannnnnex Matrim (1) - Tiea No pieces of the Secret of Miranda have been revealed! Rule Reminder: All PMs will be reset. You can choose to use the same thread as last turn to keep from cluttering inboxes, and I will simply count it against the two of whomever sends the first PM this turn. Araris has also asked to not be included at this time in PMs. This turn will end Friday, December 24 at 12 p.m. (noon) PST. Player List: Spoiler @Illwei Ashbringer Alliance Companion @Matrim's Dice @Lotus @Szeth_Pancakes @Devotary of Spontaneity @The Unknown Aon @Walin Dannnnnnnex Crew Companion @Teia @Steeldancer @Archer Edited December 23, 2021 by Elandera 1
Mat he/him Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Oh lol Good job I guess I got distracted after my last post and didn’t see anything after it but I probably wouldn’t have switched off. Though today I’m not really interested in voting either Archer or Szeth. I appreciate the elims killing my paranoid trust. Thanks. Wonder how many Alliance voted Ash
Elandera she/her Posted December 22, 2021 Author Posted December 22, 2021 I fixed a minor problem with the vote count. It should be correct now.
Archer he/him Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) I killed a baddie, so I'm obviously conf town. :P. Just kidding. I feel like I have some questions to answer, so fire away if you have them. That end of round was... a lot! EDIT: Oh I forgot Danex was voting for me. Good thing I didn't stay on Szeth huh Edited December 22, 2021 by Archer
