Quick Fix 75: The Tower's Pressure

[|TJ| he/him]

I just realised my activity in this game is going to be quite erratic. I work from 7am to 3pm and my rollover is at 4pm so essentially travelling back home. I'll try to catch up at work when I'm free but essentially, my activity is going front-ended in a cycle.

I need to know how many votes can be redistributed. @RoyalBeeMage, @StrikerEZ and @IcedOutPenguin voted me. Myself, TJ himself and @ThatOneWorldhopper voted TJ. I can retract my vote if I won't die doing so. 

Okay I see the issue - as soon as TJ votes, you get exed. Missed he still counts as self-voting. Given TJ is on GMT, I kinda think he should be able to vote but no guarantees, and don't particularly feel it implicates his alignment here as he's been getting busier.

Lmao literally ninjaed by TJ, go me.

Interestingly, I got a PM from TOW earlier asking about my TJ vote. I need to check against the votestate at that juncture but I doubt it's a pivot; TOW was phrasing it like "oh hey why do you sus TJ I think TJ sus too." Not really considering a TOW/TJ E/E world but it's an interesting choice if TOW's team said "Hey PM Kas and tell him that"

I get exed anyway - ties mean both are out. So I may only like if my voters retract or someone else votes TJ. So the only difference for me is that I get hanged alone. I'm going to be sleeping soon, so if I don't respond before rollover - wait for some 7 and a half hours before I'm awake and on the Shard.

It is almost 10PM in AEST. It is most likely a little earlier for Roy, so I'm going to hope he unvotes me. I have no idea about everyone else's timezones though.

2 hours and 6 minutes remain...

@A Jo in the Bush can I get a speech before I'm hanged? Or Shardbladed or whatever?

What?

Can you retract your vote please?

See the above discussion.

I might be leaving any minute now.

EDIT: Yep I'm gone.

I see two options here: 1) KSauce is a particularly desperate villager who just doesn’t want to die (which is valid). Or 2) KSauce is a desperate elim whose teammates are not active and he’s floundering. Either way I feel kind of bad, but I think I’ll stick with my vote. Someone’s gonna die today no matter what, and I think my point from earlier still stands and I’m leaning towards desperate elim here. Which should make things interesting in regards to vote manipulation.

Okay, Penguin can stay in the Citizen Maybe tier.

This is actually wrong no matter how you cut the cake btw. 

Yeah, I have no idea what I was thinking there. I managed to get back on, so I’ll actually contribute my two cents

personal theory of mine maintains that exing the counter train being more likely than usual is a good thing. 

Why is that? I’m curious now.

I can see this, or else he’s getting absolutely hung out to dry by his teammates. I can see a world where they’re all on TJ already, but excepting that, I expect some reaction.

Also, isn’t Sense of Humor Spren new?

I feel like it’s kind of trashy to have this exe d1. We can revisit it tomorrow. TJ

Where'd you get Russia from? I thought it was obvious the name comes from Talenelat'Elin. They aren't even the same latitude

I meant Longitude. I was basing it on your comment about Rollover being at Midnight.

If you want to write up a Roleplay speech, I can edit it into the writeup. Is that what you were asking?

 

I'm going to double check that this vote count is accurate, but I believe it is.

Ending Vote Count: |TJ|: 4 KaladinsSenseOfHumorSpren: 3 KelsierApologist: 1 The Unknown Order: 1 YEVAD: 1 IcedOutPenguin: 1 RoyalBeeMage: 1 THE DEMON: 1 StrikerEZ: 1 Aster: 1 Kasimir: 1

Dang, I really expected that to group

Ninja’d by Jo, too

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Yup. My vote count was immediately inaccurate. Fixed now.

[Negative_Null They/Them]

Well I'm glad I didn't end up making a tie. 

[|TJ| he/him]

I just realised the rollover is 3pm and not 4pm smh.

Striker can keep the V credit for the moment. I want to give Aster credit for the pushback but /shrug as well.

I actually found something iffy about one of his posts, hold on lemme see if I can find it.

So, we use this thread to chat and cast votes on each other during the cycle (which lasts 24 hours). At the end of the Cycle, whichever player(s) has/have the most votes will be executed. You can also set up PMs with other players (they must include yourself, one other player, Jo the GM, and Araris the IM) to chat with people individually. If you're an elim, you should have also received a link to an elim doc in your GM PM, where you could theoretically chat and scheme with your fellow elims.

Or just do what Kas said, which is just party

Something about this is bothering me, but I'm not sure what. I know what he means here but idk, something is off. I donno.

This is my reason.

I still don't want see what was the reasoning at that point, but guys, I really don't want to vote KSauce here, evil or village.

Then why the f aren't you fing voting either of these people 

Bhai you are literally in this state because of your vote on you. If you don't like Ksauce you can resolve it here. If you can post, you can vote gdi

EDIT:

Like I feel I'm supposed to make an E TJ would gaf more in this landscape read here but tbh I don't remotely understand why you wouldn't go "x looks Evil", slap a forever vote down on them, and stop self-voting at the same time. 

[|TJ| he/him]

edit to merge: I actually don't know who to vote for here. I remember something about RBM as well, but I don't have the time to go through the thread again. Polly? TOW? Striker? Sighh

[Kasimir he/him]

...Pollyvot anyone?

EDIT: I honest to god don't like TJ's opening vibes I just also don't feel like this EoD comes from E!TJ.

[StrikerEZ he/him]

I have no idea what TJ is doing lmao

[Kasimir he/him]

Bro makes me wanna self vote so I don't gotta deal with this crap
