D3: Do nothing. N3: Take an Ambition charge. D4: Do nothing. N4: Take a Prudence charge. Stillll on Silverlight.

He was likely to need all the focus he could get in the coming days. Now, one might say that he should be staying awake at this point -- his mortal danger had never been higher. But Trukal didn't actually have a wakefulness stockpile at the moment, and he had a rare moment of downtime in which he didn't have to watch his back for researchers or Shards deciding to put a hold on his current state of being alive.

Walin he/him Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Yeah a summary would help, especially considering the other inactives! But I still probably won't be on here for long enough at a time to make a difference until my exam is over so don't worry about it in my case; maybe for the others, if they start entering the game again.

Amanuensis he/him Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Day Five is now over! Standby for Night Five!
Ashbringer he/him Posted June 21, 2023 Author Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) LG95 Night Five: Unanimous Antagonist Lorn was having quite a week. Frost had waltzed in and taken control of his organization, then gone into hiding. Autonomy was loose and creating childish Avatars Braize-knows-where, and Braize wasn't even there anymore. They'd found Khriss, but with her tricks he couldn't even be sure she was dead, just that she wouldn't be a problem for the near future. They'd found another of her co-conspirators, though. Telan. That was a decent start. * * * Elandera was executed! They were a Standard of Unity Researcher! The Avatar TROMBONE was created by an irresponsible parent on Threnody! Vote Count: Elandera (6): The Bald Brandon, Kasimir, Szeth_Pancakes, |TJ|, DeTess, Araris Valerian Hopefully that's accurate but I may have missed votes somewhere. The end result should be the same. * * * Night Five has begun! @Channelknight Fadran is being warned for inactivity! If you don't post this turn, you will be replaced by a pinch hitter or killed. @The Last Fæ and @Turtle, you will get an official warning for next turn if you don't post this turn and will be replaced/killed end of D6. This turn will end on 10:00 PM PDT / 5:00 AM GMT (+1 Day) on June 21st, in ~24 hours.

Anyone actually looking in here or am I pasting this over and over again for nothing? You may only pass one Charge of Investiture or one Shard in a Passing action. Charges of Investiture (whether Autonomy Charges or other Charges) held by Autonomous Players do not count towards the Autonomous Sudden Death Win Condition. Multiple factions can win at the same time if they complete their (Normal or SD) win conditions at the same time. I don't think there's a way to get all 4 main factions to win at the same time, but if you all find one... congratulations? Invention's Investment Ability can be used on Avatars, which will grant Invention an Autonomy Charge. All actions are limited to once per cycle, unless otherwise noted (Autonomy's Shardic, Whimsy's Shardic, and Researcher returning Shards to Containment). Vessel Action and Vessel Shield do not stack. Vessels can "gain" them from other sources, but that only matters if they pass their Shard while they would still have Vessel Action/Vessel Shield from another source. Avatars can exist on the same Shardworld as each other. Shardworlds get a new Doc each time the player list on that Shardworld changes. Avatars and players will be put in the player list for each Shardworld Doc (i.e. you can't pretend you're not there). Shardworld presences are not publicized in thread. Hoid and Khriss's Conversions take place before Shardic Inheritance from Breaching (or other reasons). Consuming Investiture does take actions. Charges of Investiture that are used then Roleblocked are lost, as are Charges of Investiture used on a Roleblocked Shardworld action. Hoid and Khriss do not lose Conversion Charges on Roleblocked or failed conversions. In the event that Hoid and Khriss target the same player for conversion, both conversions fail. The only abilities that contribute to Shardic Breaching are Researcher Siphons, Khriss's double-Siphon, and Hoid's Sabotage. Returned keep the alignment and win condition they died with when they Return. Valor Charges cannot be used on yourself. Worldhopping is only a Day action. Two players using actions to create 1-on-1 PMs with each other will consume both Charges/actions/etc and only create 1 PM. Avatars only count as players for the Autonomous win condition, not for other factions' win conditions. Avatars in Shardworlds and Ambition in the Cognitive Realm should speak in bold - other players should not (a bit for emphasis is okay, just don't write entire sentences). You cannot create PMs with Avatars. You cannot cut players in half. Whimsy has Breached. Ignore previous statement, Whimsy has not Breached. Edited June 21, 2023 by Ashbringer 5
Kasimir he/him Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 56 minutes ago, DrakeMarshall said: I sometimes read your clarifications I always do.
DeTess she/her Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Okay, so, Elandera was with Khriss. Give me a moment to figure out wtf went down D4 then. So the final vote-count was Archer (6): The Bald Brandon, Kasimir, Szeth_Pancakes, |TJ|, DeTess, Matrim's Dice The Bald Brandon (1): Archer But at an earlier point it was something like: Archer (5): The Bald Brandon, Kasimir, Szeth_Pancakes, |TJ|, DeTess Wizard (3): Archer, Matrim's dice, Elandera note: the following people did not vote but were active in the thread: Drakemarshall, JNV, Wizard, turtle, Fae So in theory with 3 more votes, Hoid's team should have been able to make that 6-5 in Archer's favor, or even worse if any Hoidites were voting Archer. Of course, you could argue (correctly) that a dog-pile like that would look mightily suspicious, but it still stands out that no member of Hoid's team tried to save Archer. Some possible explanations: Hoid's faction thought Archer was unsaveable In this case, hoid's faction just assumed Archer could not be saved from the execution and let him go. In this case there might have been some bussing, but I don't think more than one Hoid faction member Voted Archer, because any more and it would have been trivially easy to dissolve the Archer wagon without having to go all in on voting wizard. I'd say in this scenario at most one of <The Bald Brandon, Kasimir, Szeth_Pancakes, |TJ|, DeTess> was with Hoid's faction, and quite possibly none. However, this would also mean that the remaining hoidites would be among the less active/inactive players, so the group of <STINK, walin, Fadran, Araris, Fae, turtle>. More on them later Wizard was also in the Hoid faction In that case, the Hoid faction was literally stuck between a rock and a hard place and due to the suspicion on Archer might have decided letting Archer die was the lesser of two evils, especially because it could give them a way to then push Mat and Elandera as suspects for the counterwagon. It has the downside of sacrificing a vocal player for one that is mostly inactive though, and if they had successfully flipped the wagon onto e!wizard it could have been used to take heat off of Archer and even put suspicion on those who voted him. If wizard wasn't just in the Hoid faction but actually Hoid, it would make more sense to preserve wizard over Archer. In this scenario more hoidites might have been voting Archer than in the previous one as suddenly the Hoid faction isn't just uninterested in Saving Archer but actively wants to bus him to protect wizard. However, I would also expect Wizard to be voting in self defense on Archer. the Hoid faction is very inactive In this scenario the Hoid faction simply didn't have the number of active players required to do anything to save Archer. This could be either because Hoid himself was barely active and did not have a full pool of recruits, or because the people recruited by Hoid went inactive, or some mix of the two. In this case once again I don't think more than one Hoidite was bussing Archer, because any more and the Hoid faction should have had the numbers to turn things around. In addition, it would constrain the pool of players that the remaining hoidites could reasonably be in to: <STINK, walin, Fadran, Araris, Fae, turtle>. The ones in italics are people I think are pretty unlikely to have been recruited due to lack of activity so would have to be Hoid or Village, so it would be more like one or more in <STINK, Araris, turtle> and at most one in <walin, fadran, fae>. In conclusion, the first and last scenario are actually pretty much identical as far as likely groups to hold the remaining Hoidites, and I think these two are the more likely ones, though Wizard can't be cleared of being a Hoidite just because they were the Archer CW because the wagon was made up of members of Khriss' faction. Furthermore, I'd probably be most willing to execute one of STINK or Araris next cycle. The <STINK, Araris, turtle> is potentially the most Hoidite dense, and turtle might just die to inactivity so isn't up to consideration for me right now.

Szeth Pancakes he/they Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Good morning Village points to DeTess for the big unprompted analysis post. I’d be more cautious of removing all inactives from the conversion pool — if I were part of Team Hoid or Team Khriss, I think I’d want a mix of inactives and active players. That being said, that may not be the elims’ meta, and since purging inactives didn’t really work for us earlier in the game, we should probably focus our efforts elsewhere for a bit. But I think it’s likely that there’s at least one elim in <walin, fadran, fae>, so we shouldn’t discount them from discussion, especially since the village alt wincon is looking pretty viable.

I'd lean strongly against Fae for SoU, probably a bit for AC as well due to intense inactivity both in this game and all known past games. Mat's profile as a converter indicates he would've not liked that at all. I could see an E!Walin world, FWIW. Archer was strangely lenient on Walin - voted him briefly on D3, which could be a temporary distancing vote. Walin was next to TBB (dead bottom) on Archer's readslist, but Archer strangely listed him as "reads pending." TBB got way more flack from Archer and you'd expect E!Archer to seize on Walin as an easy bushwhack target. Probably more that can be said about this, but tonight I'm at an Apocalypse Rave and wanna just chill after the analysis explosion of last Turn >:D
