Signing up as Le Flambeur, roughly translating to 'the gambler'  

You might have to lock the spreadsheet at EoC, to prevent players from accidentally changing their votes after the cycle ends. 

Edit: lmao the tag xD sorry sir for being a worrywart :P.

The tags fill almost two pages of my phone screen. Also, it’s a greater than sign, not a arrow (i think)

You know, I never really liked that memorization technique. They look like arrows, why not just remember them as arrows that point at the smaller number?

No one is safe from the tags.

[Ashbringer he/him]

I will join as the Human, who is human.

[Mark IV he/him]

Lamron rolled his eyes. He half wished to step out of the bendalloy bubble himself - all this talk of magic cards and exploding spheres the minute the bubble went up. But where were the exploding spheres before all this happened. Could've thrown it at them at the enemy but nooooo, we wanna play games in bendalloy bubbles. 

He sat down at the edge of the circle, bored of the drama and wanting to leave and continue with the fight outside the bubble - the dummies will sort it out eventually anyway. At least I won't go down with them. 

---

Welp, signing up as Lamron, a gang member who just wants to fight and not deal with backstabbing gang members or whatever the kids have come up with now. 

(Can you step out of a bendalloy bubble without trouble? Been a while since I touched era 2 stuff )

Also, what in the world is that list of tags. That thing ... it scares me
(Though I love that first attempt at counting the character limit XD)

(Edit:The Page format option makes a new page !?  )

Sorry that cycle one's not out yet, something detained me. Working on it now.

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

Once they were inside the bubble, they fell quiet. Each of the bandits looked into the eyes of those around them. No one wished to speak and thus be the center of attention. 

They didn't have long before the bendalloy ran out though, so they had to talk eventually.

The Enforcer took off his sunglasses. Not in a cool, epic way though. He certainly tried, but the glasses epically slipped off of the bridge of his nose and awesomely clattered to the floor. Quickly picking them back up, he pointed them at Exp, and said, “We trust the cards. Let’s feed him to the wolves.”

added more epic and awesome, realized we were accusing in red

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

The Suspicious Man nodded in agreement. "The cards are the fairest way of deciding this, unless someone saw the betrayal happen. So, Exp, give us a reason not to vote for you."

(Why isn't Exp in the player list?)

Idk tbh, he was on my mastersheet but I guess I forgot to ever @ him. 

[TwinStorm He/Him]

The Crazed nodded in agreement. He sighed inwardly. People never thought his jokes were any good any more, and he hated it. Some of his jokes were good! When he acted insane, at least they laughed! He didn't like the insane act though. Not anymore. Too predictable.

Why don't you give us a reason for why you messed with those cards? Why were you trying to set me up?

[Ashbringer he/him]

The Human shrugged his coat a little bit tighter. This was not exactly what he'd been planning to do today, being caught in a bendalloy bubble with a bunch of... well, other humans. Being caught in a temporal anomaly was certainly interesting, but he'd had enough of those in his time-around-time. Besides, he'd brought the wrong bones along.

Someone gave him a sideways glance, and the Human heard a muttering of "koloss-blooded" under bare breath. Well, that was an interesting mistake. The Human supposed it was inevitable with the codename he'd chosen for this encounter. But, if he wanted it to stick...

"Who said that!" the Human roared, temporarily exposing some too-blue skin around his neck. "TheRavenHasLanded, was it you? How dare you!"

[TwinStorm He/Him]

"I don't know, you don't know, we don't know!" the Crazed cackled, faking insanity for the fun of it. "It's all random, so random murder ought to solve it!" he said, pointing at #1 Taln Fan. "It's nothing personal." he staged-whispered. "Just good business."

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

A reminder that votes in thread but not in the spreadsheet will not count.

[xxGaea They/Them, Fae/Faer]

The Nameless Whisper sighed, glancing around the circle of people inside the bubble--this job was truly an arduous one. Turning towards Exp, she propped a hand on her hip. "What makes you believe he tampered with the cards? He laid them out, and we each chose one at random. Did he have some way to manipulate your hand into choosing the card he wished?" There was an undertone of mocking to her words, making it clear she thought the man was a fool.

She made a show of contemplating the possibility of The Suspicious Man having set the cards up to intentionally turn suspicion onto someone besides himself--she smiled behind her mask. "Then again...It is quite suspicious of you to have put about a game of roulette with cards, and having them so readily available. Almost like it could have been a planned decision?"
