Long Game 104: The Flame of Tar Valon

[Ashbringer he/him]

Well, that's not particularly what I wanted to happen. Might have been a good idea to set up a Still on Jo, since he'd be leaving anyway, but too late now.

I’m going to vote on ASHBRINGER. I find that vote to save BridgeBoi from losing his immunity really weird. It was unnecessary and honestly illogical. You basically said that you would vote for him because people want to remove his immunity.

Yes, I did.

Because so far the only reason I could see people gave for Stilling him was the fact that he had immunity. That's... not a very good reason, in my opinion. Several games so far in SE have had Thugs who have that extra life, which BridgeBoi is somewhat an equivalent of currently - and while an Elim Thug is annoying to deal with for the Village, so is a Village Thug for the Elims, and just stripping an extra life from a Thug is spending another vote round not doing anything.

But also, my vote was also meant to make more people vote, considering that we're supposed to have everyone vote for the Seat every Night Cycle and... five people didn't?

 

I'll vote Illwei for the moment.

[Steeldancer he/him]

I kinda forgot to vote last night lmao
Unfortunately it wouldn't have helped with me getting stilled regardless. But whatever its fine. 
Unless I get killed. 
Then I'll be sad. 

[STINK he/him]

RIP to those three they will be missed etc etc

Happy to say now that there's no chance of Drake coming back that I was in his Ajah and yeah there was no chance of Drake getting elected and I imagine he thought the same way as me so we just kinda didn't speak about it but long may BridgeBoi reign. If BridgeBoi is teammates with Drake then there was no chance of me doing anything there anyways but I'm still kinda ambivalent about my mighty Sitter.

Still think there's definitely a Black Ajah somewhere in the Mark/Aet/3rdPersonSorryIForgotYourNameIfIEverKnewIt but happy to drop the 3rdPersonSorryIForgotYourNameIfIEverKnewIt if it turns out it's someone I like so let me make it all formal and people will read it and be like ah yes makes sense:

<Mark, Aet> has bad energy

<Stink> has great energy wow what a guy you can just feel the coolness radiating of this guy like just wow I'm wordless really what can you say?

I am also trying to remember that in terms of possible elim compositions we need to account for the fact that Drake was definitely AFK when TUN and Nameless3rdElim where planning on killing the person who shouldn't have been so I'm still slightly biased towards the one left being someone that might not have known better because Drake was probably supposed to have been stepping in there 

I'll believe there's a 2nd elim we have to catch when the game doesn't end but until then I reckon we only have to catch just the one actually. 

 

And let's get some posts going people jeez I shouldn't be the one saying let's get some paragraphs here maybe a few of you can post an image and get haha some memes flowing amirite

Most people don't bus like it ain't no big thing man 

[Terrisman]

@Sart do you have a read on Wizard or Hopper from your doc? I think all the ajahs have been claimed at this point except yours so process of elimination. 
correct me if I’m wrong:

Spoiler

Blue: BridgeBoi-sitter, Drake, Stink

yellow: Jo-sitter, Kasimir, Ashbringer 

white: Steeldancer-sitter, Teldris, illwei

Brown: TUF-sitter, twinstorm, KelsierApologist 

grey: Terrisman-sitter, aeternum, mark 

green: Sart-sitter, Hopper, wizard

There seems to have been a lot of suspicion on Hopper. Has he seemed suspicious in the doc?

[Terrisman]

Okay I’m changing off Ashbringer and will be voting Steel. Been reading through the game and have got consistent e!vibes throughout. Particularly D1. It felt like Drake was getting wagoned and Steel was there to be the deciding vote and then it felt like there was a Polly wagon and steel switched to be deciding vote. Nothing conclusive but I just think he’s an elim 

edit: @Illwei has there been anything in your doc to suggest either way? How did your Ajah vote go? I know you weren’t there but what can you tell us about it?

Edited March 28, 2025 by Terrisman

[Illwei]

I disagree that BB has been villagery, but I disagree with the idea that green should Still him. I'm not a huge fan of Terris suggesting this.

Waiting to hear back on some rule clarifications around Stilling and the Amaryllin seat though.

Note that we at this point don't know if it actually randed onto bridgeboi and then reranded, we don't get to know.

@Terrisman I talked about it previously, as did Steel.

Personally the one thing that makes me worry about steel is his attidude toward Gaea and how often he would re-inforce that he trusted her. 

On the other hand Steel has been active in the doc even though I'm not, constantly thinking in there and even when the others were alive he was very active.

"activity isn't AI" could be your follow up, but I'm not only factoring pure activity. An elim in a dead doc needs not to try and prove themselves as solving. An elim in the doc doesn't need to be the only one actively defending kas, idk other things I'm not gonna read through that doc again it's too long.

I'm not interested in killing steel today

 

[Terrisman]

If you go back and look at Hoppers votes that everyone finds unusual, it is possible that @ThatOneWorldhopper misunderstood the voting rules and thought that you voted to still someone, not that whoever had the fewest votes got stilled. I don’t know if that’s true but it’s possible. Otherwise I struggle to understand what he posted

I’m often not around on weekends so if I don’t post don’t take that the wrong way. If I’m not online for the night cycle (I should be but just in case), I’d like to implore you not to elect anyone so don’t forget I’m grey Ajah so I’m elected with one less vote. Better to no vote then anything else

[BridgeBoi]

I would agree. Let's have all but two people no vote and those two people choose who gets stilled.

Sorry can you elaborate on this

[Through the Living Hopper He/Him]

Alkarii sat in his room, silently weeping onto his dark green cloak. He was going to die. He had no way to convince the others.

Where had the courage inspired by the Aes Sedia's death gone?

He knew. It had gone down the hallway where Sart had gone. It had gone into the burned votes for Terri. It had gone into his poor decisions.

And so he waited for the knock to come. He waited for them to take him away. He waited for the town to think that he was evil, never knowing otherwise, just because Alkarii was too inexperienced to find the words to explain to them.

He waited to learn what it felt like to die.

***

Well, bye guys. Looks like I'm getting eliminated. I'm innocent, but I honestly have no idea how to show that to you.

I will say that you guys have a perfect streak, and you're going to regret breaking that.

For the record, I still think Sart's guilty; I've thought it from the beginning.

He's a Sitter, though, so Illwei. I don't know how to identify elims, so I'm going off my gut.

Welp looks like today wasn't the day to be busy huh

Don't really get either of these 2 leads voting-wise and don't wanna kill Aeternum while they make posts sue me so I'm probably gonna vote closer to rollover but currently leaning towards idk

Do kinda like Steel rn don't think we need to kill them this early on 

If only I could bounce ideas around in my ajah doc rip

Hey guys, just a note. I will be out tonight and won't have access to my laptop at 23:00. I'll post the End of Day by phone but the new cycle will be posted ~2 hours later.

Note, it was always trust with an asterisk. I never, ever hard clear anyone based on vibes alone. Most often when I listed Gaea as a trust it was insofar as they weren't pocketing me. 
Granted, that explanation is completely out the window because if you're trying to pocket me you're doing a terrible job of it  Anyway the votes Gaea made still leave me with the impression that most likely, you're not an elim. I could be wrong, but there are definitely other avenues to pursue before voting you out. 
And, yes @Terrisman that is actually a pretty good explanation of my votes on D1. I decided to be the deciding votes on both ties. Because, as I said, I don't like ties. They give far less information than a solid vote, even if its a close run thing. If there is a tie, I will actively try and break it in order to get more information, every time. If you're interpreting this as an elim trait... idk man. As for the rest of my tone?
That's just me. Mostly unfiltered. 
Anyway, the TOW flip, even if wrong, should provide some information. Unfortunately your defense here TOW isn't good. It feels to me that you're an elim struggling with trying to find suspicions, because you already know who's V and E. So, sticking with that. Plus if I retracted my vote that would turn it into a tie, and I literally just reiterated my dislike of ties

[Illwei]

Just got home from work and the fact that people haven't really posted in almost a whole day is insane to me. 

Oh hi steel

I wrote up a whole post and then realized I didn't believe it in the slightest and now I'm here so I'm just here now. 

EDIT:

No one trying to help tow doesn't make me feel great about today but on the other hand if I say an Ajah could be all black then twin works fine as the last one pretty solidly

Losing Kas and Jo definitely hurt our most prolific V posters. Rather unfortunate. 

[|TJ| he/him]

Right, I did NOT consider that my phone would run out of battery, but yes, cycle is closed. Setting up the new cycle right now.
