Mauve Crocodile Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 I had a great New Years Eve, which means I've had a terrible New Years Day. :P. Unfortunately, I'm tight for time right now so this will be quick: -Mouse Heron I actually think they might be teamed, but I'm not going to focus on Mouse anymore until we see what Heron flips. -Plum Rhino didn't comment on the Tineye message. I'd expect a villager to express their surprise about it. Rhino, are you the Tineye? -Tonally, I felt Swan's PM felt overly confident that they would/deserved to be trusted. I don't think I was being double teamed in that PM though, so I'm not sure what to make of it. -Flamingo's D1 vote retraction that wasn't a retraction seemed to be more about RP appreciation, and as everyone knows, I hate RP and refuse to engage with it. :P.

Charcoal Hyena Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) Aylia sat at her writing desk, her surroundings awash with pens of every hue and size. She had always been a stickler for finding the optimal writing instrument, and this occasion was no different. She reached for a pen with a fine nib, testing its ink on a sheet of waste paper. However, the script was too light, the ink fading rapidly and failing to meet her expectations. Disappointed, she set the pen aside and moved on to the next. This pen had a broader nib and seemed to flow more smoothly across the page, yet the ink was too dark, the script too bold for the delicate hand she had in mind. Aylia sighed, setting the pen aside in turn. One by one, she tried each pen, but none seemed to satisfy her requirements. The ink was either too light or too dark, the nib too fine or too broad. Aylia cast the pens aside in frustration. "Why, oh why, can I not find a pen to my liking in this accursed place?" she muttered to herself. Rising from her seat, she began to pace the room, her mind racing with potential solutions. Perhaps she could try a different shop, or import one from a neighboring town. Yet as she rummaged through her desk for her laptop, the feeling that no matter where she looked, she would never find a pen to suit her purposes weighed heavy on her. "Maybe I'll just settle for a pencil," she thought. [OOC: Been busy with celebrations and suddenly got swamped with work today. I have time to say a couple of brief thoughts, though. One of the most interesting things to me is the way discussion preceded toward EoD, which as some have pointed out, might imply lower-activity or less-vocal Spiked. At six hours to EoD, the five-way tie included <Hyena, Mouse, Dingo, Penguin, Iguana> and at three and a half hours Tuatara's unvoted me and removed me from the mix. Different people have covered the way the votes preceded after that, so I won't cover the exacts, but the important part is that this tie was maintained until seven minutes before rollover, when Croc moved from Mouse to Kangaroo. I think for this I'll put Mouse and Penguin to the side for now, along with some players players that I've gotten good vibes from at some point or have a good gut feeling about (Mouse, Swan, Tuatara, Dragonfly, Lion, Rhino, Meerkat, Toucan). This good-list isn't exhaustive as I am having some trouble connecting posts to the many many PMs I have had. I think it's fine for purposes at the moment, though. This leaves <Scorpion, Falcon, Ostrich, Weasel, Albatross, Croc, Heron, Flamingo, Lion, Toucan, Chameleon, Rhino, Meerkat, Elephant>, of which <Heron, Weasel, Flamingo> have votes. Honestly though, I've not enamored with the cases for any of the three. Slightly unnerved by all the Heron votes, but that's normal for me. I don't feel a need to add to those. Looking back, Weasel has felt somewhat genuine (though not enough to put him on my haphazard good list and remove him from my temp voting pool). I suppose I'm fine with voting Flamingo This has been experiments with voting methodology with Hyena] Edit: 2 minutes ago, Plum Rhinoceros said: can some one explain me tin eye thing i dont understand question PMed you Edited January 2, 2023 by Charcoal Hyena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuchsia Ostrich Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 [OOC: Hi. Sorry for disappearing. I will likely continue to disappear for a little bit due to a combination of some sudden real life issues and my mind deciding to give out on me. I can't muster up the tonal inclinations required for Koros to be done properly, so you just get me. I feel like I'm lost already, and that's mostly my fault. See apology. Luckily, the game's been fairly terse so far. Let's go page by page D1 Page 1: Mostly RP, poke/joke votes, and frivolity. A fun read, though. Page 2: The only notable thing in my opinion is Elephant spontaneously busting out Smoker advice. Not the advice itself, but the way it's framed. Might just be in my head. Page 3: Falcon frames points in very strict terms without much to back it. Particularly the Tuatara read. Also their "point 4", which seems to be attacking Dragonfly for not moving a poke vote despite the victim not satisfying the conditions for release, particularly when the individual seems tonally at odds with this narrative. Heron frames things oddly. It does feel less evil framing and more 'trying to seem like a good villager' framing. Maybe I have too high of a bar for evil players. Tangent: RIP Dingo, a blasé player with cool RP. I liked talking about glassware with you. Meerkat has a tone that instinctively makes me look twice, but that might just be anonymity at work. Or the use of the word "gosh". Page 4: I did enjoy Albatross 1.0's forthright-ness. I strongly dislike Dragonfly's last-minute vote but struggle to understand why evil would act in such a manner when a low-temperature cycle implies a lack of necessity. N1 Page 1: I'm going to slide past the meta discussion and note the second instance of Elephant giving spontaneous advice. Page 2: See above (excluding the Elephant bit). D2 Page 1: The Tineye messages are 1. a humorous aside about our status as animals and emotional Allomancy, 2. a note of existence, and 3. an interesting philosophical editorial. Page 2: For some reason, my eye is caught by Penguin's lambasting of Shard mobile. Possibly because of the exclamation points. The Heron votes are framed in a very static way considering the singular point. I somewhat agree on the Falcon point in that I cannot comfortably village read them. Page 3: I do not understand Crocodile's point about a Mouse Heron team. And now the time comes to use these limited and likely somewhat erroneous conclusions to vote. I am tentatively shelving Weasel because I cannot imagine a world where Weasel has teammates and they don't tell them to tone it down after the spew of meta discussion. I don't like the Flamingo vote. I can somewhat understand the Rhino vote but do not enjoy it. So the question is whether I think Heron is a player subject to suboptimal and perhaps panicky phrasing. My instincts say no. My instincts say that evil Heron would not couch such a vote in hesitance. This might amount to nothing more than protest, but Falcon. I have to go now. I'll see you on the other side.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapphire Elephant Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 12 hours ago, Sapphire Elephant said: I still need to do a reread of Night 1 for game relevant discussion, and I've only done a cursory read of this cycle. But posting it this now before I go work on that. Alright, here we go. Night One Iguana musn't have been very engaged if they could have saved themselves but didn't. Toucan commenting on E!Dingo = V!Dragonfly and E/E Dingo/ (Mouse or Penguin) seems villagery in light of the Dingo Spiked Kill. Not sure what to think about the Swan ask for Lurcher protection :thinking: Day Two Interesting that there's a trigger happy Coinshot on the loose :thinking: Muses about Spiked Mistborn. Dingo seems an odd choice for the Spiked kill though... Perhaps they put more credence in the village reads players were given rather than the collection of votes that had tied Dingo for execution. And 3 tineyes/mistborn. Interesting. Slight village read on Croc's list of reads. Getting bad vibes from Rhino. Appreciates Toucan for explaining the RP. On 01/01/2023 at 4:43 AM, Sunburst Toucan said: [OOC: All three of Elephant’s posts contain general game-related advice or mechanics-related thoughts, but they have not thus far expressed opinions regarding other players, the flips, or the votes. Our PM hasn’t been too insightful either. Their second D1 post in particular pings my elim-dar as seeming to appear helpful while mostly just being fluff in disguise. If it helps, I may have mentioned all of these things in the signup thread if there were a signup thread, as a matter of gameplay things that I care about (PM safety), or things I've seen go wrong before (Smokers in AGs). Fully admit they were easy to quickly post without commenting on thread, because I didn't have the time/energy the last few days to do that, but those were important enough to make the effort to post. Trying to be a bit more on top of being active in thread from now. Notes Tuatara opting to tie things in defense of Weasel. Though they did speak of Weasel potentially being framed. Going to continue to keep an eye out here I think. Well possibly I didn't need to do my votes break down, if Dragonfly and Lion had already done similar. But then that was mostly for me to get my thoughts in order. Penguin, any chance of getting that reads list you promised? Oh, nevermind, you posted them eventually. Enjoying Meerkat's posts, but not sure if I'm getting a vibe off them. Tuatara again with the tie. Goes looking for Alv posts to compare for style. Continuing to feel weird about Rhino following people to votes. 1 hour ago, Mauve Crocodile said: -Mouse Heron I actually think they might be teamed, but I'm not going to focus on Mouse anymore until we see what Heron flips. Confused by Croc's unvoting of the vote they never placed on Mouse... Takes Heron to 4 vs Weasel/Rhino/Dragonfly at 2. Mouse follows on to Heron, taking Rhino out of the running. Ostrich prompts a change of votes to make Falcon a rival to Heron, Rhino once again following Tuatara. Really not sure how I feel about this last minute voting. Need to look back at Heron vs Falcon specifically I think. Will post this now and try and vote soon.
