Current VC is: Wiz (2): Pyro, Raven Sart (2): Mat, Fifth Mat (1): Exp Raven (1): Violet JNV (1): Sart Non voters are TKN, JNV, Wiz @The Known Novel and @JNV got anything to say? A tie probably isn't the best for us, but I'm not really feeling Wiz or Sart rn. If I had to pick one to vote, it'd prob be Sart. Ravens response to Wiz's vote reads village to me. Mat seems okay. Mostly villagery vibes, but idk. Ig for now I'll leave my vote where it is. Ninja?
Mat he/him Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Okay actually I think Exp is a villager based off that Like 90% sure

If it's the Smoking Gun, it counts as a refusal to use the gun, and you die To be fair, most of the local lawmen would say trying to shoot Warn is a deathwish... There are games where shooting or exeing the GM does something. This is a simple, non-blackout game so it ain't it Edited to add: Current votecount according to my tally: Quote The Wandering Wizard (3): PyroPhile, Ravenclawjedi42, Violet Experience (2): Sart, The Known Novel Sart (2): Fifth Scholar, Matrim's Dice Matrim's Dice (1): Experience Edited October 15, 2023 by Kasimir

Kasimir he/him Posted October 15, 2023 Author Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Cycle Two: Shots Fired At some point, Warn had gotten bored of hovering threateningly over the gathered members of the Red Band and had left with a smirk and a gesture—pointing at his eyes, and then two fingers drawn across the throat, sharply—at the outlaw who still held Warn’s Sterrion in hand. The message was clear: Warn was watching. Someone was going to have to die. “The rest of you, keep searching,” Warn said. “You think you’ve figured out who the turncoat is, you let me know. Beefing those lawmen hiding among us…we ain’t safe until we do that.” He turned and strode out of the room, moving deeper into the hideout. The remaining members of the Band stared at each other. Some began to get up and leave. “We still have to find someone,” rasped one of them. “The Mistress—I mean, uh, the Chief won’t like it if we can’t hand over a name to him.” Violet squinted at him. “You seem really eager to hand someone over. Sounds like a lawman to me.” Rajib was playing with a cravat. Well-dressed, unusually so in the Roughs. Something that stood out, like that Elendel accent. The Urbain looked up, eyes narrowed. “You’re unusually eager to be pointing out people. Almost as though you’re choosing targets.” There was a burst of bright red smoke, thick and choking. Everyone in the room doubled over, eyes burning and watering and coughing. There was the loud bark of multiple shots fired, going off almost all at once. Stench of gunsmoke. By the time the smoke cleared, Violet, Adze, and the outlaw whose name no one could remember but who’d been going on about sacrificing others to his dread Mistress—they all lay flat on the ground, bleeding out. Doug dashed over to check on each of them in turn, but it was too late. All three, stone-cold dead. “Well, Ironeyes’s gaze,” Kern said, at last. “I thought Warn was pulling another one with his paranoia. Looks like he’s right. We got some lawmen among us.” He bent down and picked up a metal orb from the ground. It had cracked open, and a puff of red smoke leaked out from it. The blackened fuse was burned all the way down to a stub. “Smoke bomb,” Rajib said. “Haven’t seen one of those since—” Kern hefted it in his hand. “Yeah,” he said slowly. “It’s city-make. No one in the Roughs uses that sorta thing. We got trouble.” ✯ A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, Something beyond shadows stilled. For a moment, the Mind Walkers heard the calling falter, silenced. It resumed, for what is a moment but a teardrop in the palm of the infinite? Next to that, what is a solitary life? ✯ Quote The Wandering Wizard (3): PyroPhile, Ravenclawjedi42, Violet Experience (2): Sart, The Known Novel Sart (2): Fifth Scholar, Matrim's Dice Matrim's Dice (1): Experience ??? / @The Wandering Wizard was exed!

Kasimir he/him Posted October 15, 2023 Author Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Rule Clarifications: Spoiler A koloss-blooded player who has not burned that extra life and fails to use the Smoking Gun will not die. This is due to how the koloss-blooded survival works. The Smoking Gun will be soft RNGed. If a player who has already received the gun is tipped to get it again, I will reroll once. There are no action limits. The Smoking Gun lets you kill. Player List: Spoiler 1. @Matrim's Dice 2. Fifth Scholar - Adze, best shot in the Band Scoundrel 3. @Experience - Mud, a Lurcher (RIP) 4. @The Known Novel - Danji, a dirt-poor Coinshot 5. The Wandering Wizard - ???, an unnamed Aboleth cultist. Scoundrel 6. @JNV 7. @Ravenclawjedi42 - Rajib Urbain, recent refugee from the Set 8. @PyroPhile - The Doug 9. @Sart 10. Violet - Scoundrel Edited October 15, 2023 by Kasimir
Ravenclawjedi42 Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 1 minute ago, Matrim's Dice said: Gun person should claim, yeah? Probably. It wasn’t me.
Experience he/him Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 I'm guessing whoever used the gun shot Violet? Just because fifth makes more sense as an elim kill. Could be the other way around ig. I'll have some time later on to do some analysis. But assuming there are two elims, could this possibly be lylo? In a 2:2 scenario would elims win? Or do they just have to play it out to see? Cuz right now assuming 2 elims is 2:5 so if we mislynch and whoever has the gun misfires again...then we're in a lot of trouble.
JNV Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Ack sorry meant to get on an hour ago but life smacked me in the face sorry here now take this apology quokka Spoiler Anyway Ill go read the previous cycle and be back with hopfully thoughts EDIT ok thoughts um I think Violet had the gun but didnt get a kill off so they died cause I dont think anyone would shoot a new player C1 just off the cuff and cuase they were saking gun questions my other htought is its hard to get thouhgts off a cycle of fluff poke votes Edited October 15, 2023 by JNV 2
Mat he/him Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Actually, that’s a good point, JNV. Village points for you. That leaves TKN, Ravenclaw, Pyro, and Sart. I doubt Kas went with a team of two new players, so logically if we exe TKN and shoot Sart, or vice versa, we should hit an elim. Thoughts? I don’t really want to kill based on pure logic but I think this makes sense.

I'm definitely not clearing Experience yet, and that post made you go up the suspect list.
The Unknown Medallion he/him Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Yeah, that is some... interesting logic there Mat. Don't forget QF64, 3 new players and a low active. Never assume the GMs distro. I did not have the gun btw, guessing JNV’s right and it was Violet.
Mat he/him Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 I don’t expect you two to agree with it :P. I think Exp is village based of last turn, for reasons I can explain again if required. @Sart, why vote him?

Sart he/him Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Would anyone else like to vote please? I'm going to be busy this evening, so I won't be able to follow along.
PyroPhile Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Is it allowed to not vote? I don’t want to vote out another village
Sart he/him Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 3 minutes ago, PyroPhile said: Is it allowed to not vote? I don’t want to vote out another village Technically yes, but it's generally not a good strategy. It's a great way to get information, and more importantly, it's the only way for the town at large to influence the game. While we might mess up, it's worth it to eliminate the evil players.
Mat he/him Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Backreading proved mostly useless because Pyro's vote was a poke and Violet died, but I don't super love Ravenclaw's. It's definitely the worst of the bunch. Hard to tell with a train entirely comprised of new players. I still don't think e!Exp ever posts that reads list and stays on me, though. Even in writing the wrong thing. That interaction looks very good for him, and based on how his train didn't prompt any change in the VC (expect maybe Violet voting Wiz, and that obviously is a fruitless path of analysis) I'm fine chalking him up as village. This in turn makes Sart's push look bad, and I don't like his phrasing in calling out my logic-- "Your process of elimination seems off" doesn't seem like something a villager (who knows I'm wrong) would say. So I'll vote Sart despite my history with just e reading him regardless of everything, because I really don't have anything else (unless people vote TKN) and I do think Exp is village.
Experience he/him Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 54 minutes ago, PyroPhile said: Is it allowed to not vote? I don’t want to vote out another village Bad idea. The lynch is our only way to kill elims. Not lynch just gives us less information to find them. You're bound to vote villagers out, but the idea is that you can figure out who the elims are based on how people interact because of those votes. I still need to put together a reads(gut feels) list to get a better vote so I'll refrain from voting now. If it comes down to it tho, I will be self pressing.
