KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren He/Him Posted July 20, 2025 Posted July 20, 2025 Chanarash appeared at the entrance to the caverns. "I must see Lord Yomen," she said to the guard. The guard eyed her. To him, she looked like she might be Terris, but not at the same time. "Why..." he began. "Now!" Mist coalesced around Chanarash as a Shardblade appeared in her hands. The guard jumped, then nodded, fear visible in his eyes. Chanarash needed to speak to the authorities here before she truly began her crusade. It wouldn't do any good if she unknowingly went against some law they had here. ----------------------------------------------- Hmm... don't expect much from me this cycle, I've got some unexpected stuff happening. But I'll see if I can find time tomorrow.
Through the Living Hopper He/Him Posted July 20, 2025 Posted July 20, 2025 (edited) Worlder wiped the muck out of the glass. He wasn't sure whether or not he liked this new… situation. Did people even need bartenders while the world was ending? One of his usuals came up to him. What was his name? "Can I have my usual?" the man asked. "Sure thing, …uh…" A grunt was all he got in reply. Soon he had more such fellows coming, asking for drinks. Worlder smiled at this. Yes, the world would always need bartenders. Even if it was ending. "Hey! Gancho!" He heard a voice calling for him. He ignored it for the time being, content with his newfound surety. Yes, the world would always ne… Shouting. "Ahhh, lines." Worlder stood up, and grabbed a covered bottle from behind the counter. He had really wanted to save this for later. Worlder ran toward the yells. Edited July 20, 2025 by ThatOneWorldhopper
Sart he/him Posted July 20, 2025 Posted July 20, 2025 Soundtrack: Spoiler DJ Sart strolled into the cave. He had of course considered being a bard. However, he had been told that there was a young and hale one. Or perhaps there were two of those. Regardless, he had decided on his own niche. He would play songs others had found, rather than composing new ones. It was a worthy pursuit, preserving the records of past generations. The quiet in the caves unnerved him. He selected one of the tracks, etched in metal of course, and let it play. There, some livelier music to help the mood. And he should follow with an accusation as well. He had seen Biplet down here, but had yet to hear from her. It was the end of the world after all, and everyone needed to be accounted for. 1
Doc12 Posted July 20, 2025 Posted July 20, 2025 So, I'm not familiar enough with the usual mistborn games. I've got a couple of questions that anyone can weigh in on. We have 11 roles and 12 players. Is it usually the case that each role only occurs once, or can there be multiples of one role and some roles don't show up? Is there one roleless person or does everyone have a role? Is it the case that if the eliminators have a coinshot that they can do two kills per round? That seems like it'll make the game over very quickly considering the small amount of players.
Araris Valerian he/him Posted July 20, 2025 Posted July 20, 2025 I’m very skeptical that we have a Coinshot on either side of this game, because as you say it would make things go a lot faster. I thinking there could well be more than one vanilla player, it just depends on how a striker was feeling when he cooked up the distribution. The main thing roles-wise to be concerned about right now is eliminator vote manipulation. It would be best to aim for a 2-vote margin to deny the elims the ability to disrupt things (and I’d suggest village Soothers/Rioters use their abilities to support the current execution target).

There tends to be no limitations on capacity of each role in each game (i.e there could be 9 golems lurchers and 1 thug) 2. Unlikely eliminators have coinshot from a mathematical perspective. I won't yap about it for too long, but essentially if there's an elim coinshot we could potential see game over even if we vote out an elim the day before 2 hours ago, Araris Valerian said: I’m very skeptical that we have a Coinshot on either side of this game, because as you say it would make things go a lot faster.

Through the Living Hopper He/Him Posted July 21, 2025 Posted July 21, 2025 (edited) I don't like Sart's music gimmick.

Worlder is offended. That sounded like a strike at his character. He stalks forward toward Aralis. "Now listen here…"
Araris Valerian he/him Posted July 21, 2025 Posted July 21, 2025 Aralis holds up his walking stick warningly. The polished wood is quite sturdy, and to anyone paying attention, it's clear he doesn't need it to stay on his feet. "That was not a intended as a slight toward you, though you might know better than I do. No, I was referring to both of the folks I have proposed we remove so we can get this foolishness about the supposed Spiked out of the way as soon as possible."
Doc12 Posted July 21, 2025 Posted July 21, 2025 Mara looks up. Takes stock. She's been moved. She can't see Jessa. There's dried blood on her hands. Blood and more blood. It was all revolving around that noble. First Jessa, her best friend, cut down before her eyes. Then another soldier had apparently tried to assassinate him and had been killed as well. And now said noble was demanding another death, to be voted upon by the remaining assembled. They had been split into groups of a dozen or so, and one of them would be killed come evening. It had already begun. People throwing out names. Snapping at each other. rolling rusting dice to decide another skaa's fate. It was the end of the world, and nothing had changed. "I don't trust this." She says, more to herself than anything. "Even if there's a... spiked? like an inquisitor? even if there's one here, why would they be targeting us? We're not nobles. Why should we sacrifice someone just because the lord says so?" "Information," says Aralis. He was gruff, but kind. He'd stopped the soldiers from trying to move her from Jessa's corpse, even as he threw out the first accusation. "I thought you didn't believe in this." Mara said. "You thought it was a trick by the nobles to get around King Elend." "Spiked or no spiked, someone did try to kill that noble. Someone that the noble believes has ties to some people in this group." Aralis waved his stick again. "And if someone has to die, perhaps we choose someone who's lurking in the shadows, eh?" "I...suppose." She draws back, closer to the fire. Most of the assembled had spoken, but a few still remained beyond the firelight. "TJ" She hoped they spoke up. She really didn't want more blood on her hands.

It's either a ploy, an exaggeration, or she picked up on tell I don't know about. Or overconfidence, since I've played a few games where players expressed similar opinions without much reasoning given (even later on). I'm of the opinion that you can almost never find elims D1 except by accident, though those accidents do happen, and we have to force the elims to engage or we'll never make any progress.
KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren He/Him Posted July 21, 2025 Posted July 21, 2025 (edited) Well, I don't like day 1s, so I'm going to RP some more. Chanarash found Lord Yomen deep in thought. "Do I disturb you m'Lord?" Yomen, startled, looked up at the expressionless Skybreaker. "So it's you. They said you were a world... hopper?" "Yes. I am here to enforce law and order." Yomen nodded. "What was your name again?" "Chanarash. Chanarash Thevar." What an odd name, Yomen thought. Edited July 21, 2025 by KaladinsSenseOfHumorSpren
Walin he/him Posted July 21, 2025 Posted July 21, 2025 Walin had survived through so much to get here. So…much. After the Pits of Hathsin were destroyed, he was in a daze. Food was scarce in the Pits, but it did exist, and outside the necessities of life were less of a guarantee. The two greatest boons were fewer beatings and executions. It still didn’t find him a place to sleep or something to eat. He didn’t know the streets well enough to barter away his bead of atium for a fair price. After days of starvation, he sold it for a place to sleep for a week. The irony of bartering such a treasure for no greater than he would ordinarily receive was not lost on him. But it was enough to get him on his feet. Bartering and scavenging for months, making deals when he could and fleeing when he had to, Walin found himself in a shelter enduring another systemic collapse. How funny it was, that he thought the Pits were the worst it could get. Of course, they were, for him personally, but now the world was at stake. That had to count for more. ——————————————— Uhhh I vote TJ. Bandwagon time. Sorry to do this to you D1.

Must we exe TJ d1 what sourge has been inflicted upon the village now Hopefully TJ can show up, but I kinda feel bad now.
|TJ| he/him Posted July 21, 2025 Posted July 21, 2025 (edited) Yeah sorry guys, I had a horribly busy, sleep drived weekend and just caught up on it rn. I don't remember the last time players were okay to kill an inactive person on D1. The first poke is okay, I guess. I'm suspicious of at least one in latter voters. For being ~40 hours into the cycle, the discussion about the anyone (including me tbh, it just looks like someone voted and everyone else joined in without any discussion) or about the game itself is horribly non-existent. Latter voters on me are - Araris, Doc and Walin. Doc and Walin are playing after a while so, wouldn't want them D1'd. Although in Walin's case, I found their phrase "sorry to do this to you" to be suspicious. When they made their post, there was still ~13 hours left in the cycle, and it's implied in the post that my exe is a foregone conclusion. Mrrghhh, fair I guess 4-1 lead is a bit much, but much has happened in lesser time in SE, so not really liking the confidence that Walin's words inherently shows. But like I said, I want them to play longer than D1, so Araris Edited July 21, 2025 by |TJ|
Doc12 Posted July 21, 2025 Posted July 21, 2025 (edited) A poke vote's a poke vote. I was more interested in getting people to talk than attacking a random person. TJ Biplet I am interested in what Aeoryi said about having a solid suspicion already, but not voting on them yet. They've told me who they suspect, but haven't changed their vote. If they're willing to put their vote where their suspicion is, I'll back that, but since they haven't, I'm a little wary. Edited July 21, 2025 by Doc12 didn't want to double post
