I knew what weasel was doing with the apples, it was pretty obvious... Also yeah I was the one who soothed heron so, as I've just soothed to make my vote stronger each time. Noted, I figured it was likely you but didn't see it. Fwiw I looked through the game expecting to find Mint Heron/Ivory Dragonfly as not e/e, and came back with them looking insanely e/e despite having the same claim. I do think in a world with e!Mint Heron specifically, elims are voting Mint Heron today. In an e!Mint Heron v!Ivory Dragonfly world, there would likely be more push on Ivory Dragonfly (although it would depend slightly on what role Mint Heron flips I think). In an v!Mint Heron e!Ivory Dragonfly world, Mint Heron obviously gets pushed over Ivory Dragonfly, which can be a lot like what we're seeing here, but can also be a lot like world 1 with bussing. Point being that there's likely elims voting for Mint Heron right now. Mint Heron (5): Indigo Weasel, Melon Dingo, Ivory Dragonfly, Coral Swan, Mauve Crocodile Ivory Dragonfly (2): Mint Heron, Emerald Falcon I lean town on Coral Swan I think. I put them low in my reads because they can be paired with a lot of slots that could be elims, but I socially townread them enough. Mint Heron/Indigo Weasel are unlikely e/e pretty much ever, outside of fringe hellbussing worlds that I don't think are real in this gamestate. So Ivory Dragonfly or Mauve Crocodile make a lot of sense to be a partner bussing here, and both do work as e/e with Mint Heron.

At the very least, it's pro-town. Elims atp are doing fine at blending in, given we've misexe'd three times in a row, so the effort isn't necessary for an elim. Compared to town who is genuinely trying to solve. I like their worldbuilding efforts. Do you not see this burst of energy at endgame as suspicious though? Like that's where my own assumptions come up from; we have not killed an eliminator this game, why is this town energy as opposed to elim energy at the final stretch? Ivory Dragonfly For wagon reasons but I'm still cautious here.
Amber Vulture Posted January 21, 2025 Posted January 21, 2025 Sauve Chad speaks: "I believe my letters [PMs] with Ivory Dragonfly contain useful information. Within them: I asked how the magenta albatross wagon even happened. Dragonfly said (Paraphrased): Quote - Mouse voted on Magenta Albatross for voting first. - Tuatara role-played their vote - Maybe Magenta Albatross thought he wasn't a vanilla after claiming he was a vanilla. (Whatever this means) - Hyena was the one to break the tie for no reason. - Falcon encouraged "this" (Likely referencing Hyena's behavior) I stated that from the summary provided, Charcoal Hyena and Emerald Falcon were likely to be elims. Ivory Dragonfly affirmed this, citing their growing paranoia of Falcon. When I asked whether they were actively causing chaos or just trying to encourage it, Ivory dragonfly told me (paraphrased): Quote - It was neither - Falcon seemed to be actively encouraging complacency. - Falcon's keeping the thread focused on what he wants - Falcon isn't looking for other suspects All of the following took place 6-7 days ago."

This doesn't really affect anything that's happening in the thread but I thought you all might like to know that the end time of the Day, hypothetically-speaking, might have been corrected to the appropriate date, and will still be happening in a bunch of hours so if you were somehow using this as a referent, yeah it's fixed now. If you were actually just adding 48: Spoiler It is unclear how such an copy-paste error might have occurred but hey, it's at least not a missing vote or something right?

Let it be known that I'd have been campaigning for Hyena's head otherwise. Praise the Ja @Mauve Crocodile, can you talk to me about Hyena a bit, or link me back to there abouts?
Melon Dingo Posted January 21, 2025 Posted January 21, 2025 Rind frowns, slightly concerned at how close the votes were getting. It wouldn't take much for a soother/rioter to tip the balance.

They are just saying words that look villagery, but there's no discernable process behind their thoughts. It reads like classic elim posturing - more on it here: @Amber Vulture why the dragonfly vote? @Azure Mouse what do you mean by 'for wagon reasons'? i.e. what are the reasons and what have you gleaned from this? Praise the Ja
Azure Mouse Posted January 21, 2025 Posted January 21, 2025 Hm, I'll uh. Keep it in mind for the future but I'm not sure Hyena can be an elim at the moment, but I'd have to-recalculate why. Intuition tells me that could be paired with Falcon but I'm not sure how much I believe that. And for wagon reasons, I mean, Dragonfly's wagon was lesser from last tally I saw.

I see a lot of town players go through a cycle of high energy d1 -> don't do anything for d2+ -> wakes up and tries to solve the entire game in lylo. Vs elims usually just drop off and continue to drop off, because they have nothing to actually need to solve in lategame. Mint Heron (5): Indigo Weasel, Melon Dingo, Ivory Dragonfly, Coral Swan, Mauve Crocodile Ivory Dragonfly (4): Mint Heron, Emerald Falcon, Azure Mouse, Amber Vulture

Yes but it would be cool if you switched to Heron instead, then @Coral Swan can soothe Dragonfly and we can see if they have indeed turned their coppercloud off as they claim Praise the Ja

Coral Swan Posted January 21, 2025 Posted January 21, 2025 I am slightly worried about a world with e!mistborn that has vote manip this turn. Not sure how likely that is tho

"I don't think someone being slightly less accused than the other is a good reason to vote. We outnumber the spiked, if we're right then of course that will happen. Bringing the vote closer only makes it easier to manipulate. How quickly you jumped on 'wagon reasons' after Falcon gave it as their justification gives me a bit of pause."

I don't mind your observation here though.
Emerald Falcon Posted January 21, 2025 Posted January 21, 2025 I'd rather vote manip not mess things up today, on a day where there is a real chance wagons are important.
