Araris Valerian he/him Posted March 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Cycle 1 ends in just about 10 minutes!

Araris Valerian he/him Posted March 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 After poking around their strange collection of objects for most of a day, J'aman voiced his own suspicion that Jariel was the killer, citing the fellow's partly empty flask of acid as a potential murder weapon along with a Korathi pendant tucked into Jariel's back pocket. An immediate impression filled J'aman and the other SPFers' minds that the accusation was incorrect, and the other folks refused to make their own voices heard. Whether this was due to an unwillingness to press forward so early into the investigation, or for more... nefarious reasons, remained to be seen. The Ja, sensing his communication had been successful, refocused his will in an attempt to give an extra clue to the Investigators. The effort exhausted him, but perhaps someone had received the message. xino, Cinnamon, Wiz, Bookwyrm, and Shining all failed to post in C1, and have been removed from the game. Xino has been replaced by @Whysper, so welcome her to the game! I'm waiting to hear from Stick and any other pinch hitters, but after a bit I'll announce any other pinch-hitters and where Accusation attempts have been redistributed to. Remember that removed players can still be Accused (and removed as the Witness). Spreadsheet The cycle will end at 5PM Eastern Time on Sunday the 19th!

Amanuensis he/him Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Corpse Condition: Twisted (Not Warm, Stiff, Decayed, Altered, or Intact). Interesting... List: Spoiler Edited March 18, 2023 by Amanuensis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|TJ| he/him Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Naked and Twisted, huh. Hut/Shack could be a Parshendi settlement. IIRC there's some Parshendi war ritual. Naked and Twisted fits the bill. Could also be a kill via Whitespine in a Parshendi settlement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer he/him Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Debate topic: when someone is ritually sacrificed, is their body Twisted or Altered? Altered carries a connotation of intentionality, but Twisted introduces a perversion element. I'm going to argue against Fire being a possibility now because Still Warm is the obvious choice for that one. Twisted fits nicely with the plant attacks or spell trouble possibilities 26 minutes ago, |TJ| said: Naked and Twisted, huh. Hut/Shack could be a Parshendi settlement.

Parshendii is also Aman's tile, and I feel like the Assassin wouldn't have helped us out by burning their guess like they did last cycle. He also has Fire and Rathbone Monk, for the record. My holdup about animal attacks is that I agree with Kas' comment that animals would have had Wilderness associated with them instead. That also puts a damper on my plant theories Edit: I'd also like to argue against acid based attacks, since they decay the body.

Ashbringer he/him Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 I’m inclined to read things literally, so I wouldn’t call something simple very Twisted. Most wounds would be Intact. Soulcasting would probably be Altered but idk what other things fit Twisted over Altered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Paradoxical Phenomenon he/him Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 What I first thought of when I read “naked” and “accident” was died while on the toilet or something, it doesn’t just have to be something that destroys the clothing (wait did I already say something like that?

Naked and Twisted fits the bill. Fits the other rituals as well. Though I think if it was a ritual Araris probably wouldn't have removed the In Progress tile over, like, 'Noon'. That to me suggests that the time of day is more important than the religion clue. 53 minutes ago, Archer said: Debate topic: when someone is ritually sacrificed, is their body Twisted or Altered? Altered carries a connotation of intentionality, but Twisted introduces a perversion element. As Kas would say, potayto potahto difference for me. I think the more important distinction is 'not intact' as opposed to 'not altered'.

I thought the religious connection was too tenuous, but I guess not. I mean. Araris did take it out, to be fair. I really thought Hut/Shack would throw people off (especially when compared with literally every other location title) and Naked I didn't think would be connected either. I thought that picking two unrelated things would benefit me, but in picking the clues, Araris went for individual ones (such as Manmade for DW, Accident for HS) instead of trying to combine them. I think you got lucky in picking DW over the many other Manmade things I have but I guess there was Archer's point that Mug of Ale and the like would have more naturally been paired with Feast. It is fitting that I would be bested by a tunnel :P. But it isn't a tunnel if it's right, eh? :eyes: Anyone want to guess my teammates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I was feeling good yesterday and today I think we were gonna muddy the waters with one of us guessing like Mat/Highstorm/Mug to throw people off with the 'no' but we... did not get that far xD Yep! :D.
