Quick Fix 76: Judgement on the Shores of the Purelake

[StrikerEZ he/him]

Man you talk a lot Pizza lmao

Not a diss, just an observation. You're like a more casual Kas basically. It's neat to have another wall-poster here.

Anyway, I think I'm leaning towards Booknewt being innocent now. Also, I could have sworn I had read Twinstorm sussing Book, but maybe I just conflated all of Pizza's posts about Book in my head with Twinstorm somehow. Wouldn't surprise me, since I haven't been putting in the most effort into this game, admittedly. 

Coder definitely feels village to me, I refuse to vote her out.

Iced has got to be an elim at this point. If Iced flips town, then I reevaluate. Probably would go after Aet next.

Twinstorm could go either way.

Polly and KSacue are extreme neutrals to me. KSauce is Starseeker right? They've been putting in a lot of effort on that RP, but not a whole lot on the game itself. If we exe a villager today, that puts us at LyLo tomorrow. Which is too close to comfort for me, and we really should be focusing more on solving right now than RP. So slight sauce on KSauce actually. Polly is basically MIA, which has me worried. She's an experienced player. Almost wonder if she's intentionally avoiding the thread to let us go at each other's throats. here.

lol yeah a game with Pizza and Kas on opposite alignments would be crazy

Kaladfin crashed through the bramble. He was close. He could feel it. The woods that surrounded the Purelake were dense, but nothing Stormlight and a Shardblade couldn't solve. The evildoers were said to be hiding in the woods. 

Fractal pulsed, hiding on his sleeve. You are angry. he noted.

"Angry? Yeah. People died. Javert died. I liked him. Too many died. That's why I'm angry."

Good lie. But wrong.

Kaladfin froze. What? Wrong? "Fractal . . ." he tried. "I'm angry because they're dead."

Worse lie.

"What . . . fine. Okay. I'm angry . . . because of what they did to me. Some time ago, Fractal, before I met you, in Kharbranth, I was mugged. These people . . . they stole my money, beat me half to death. I want justice for that. In some ways, I am a Skybreaker."

Good truth.

Oop sorry, I thought I saw someone else say her in reference to you. My bad!

Okay, this is my count of votes so far, correct me if I'm wrong.

Aeternum: IcedPenguin (1)
IcedPenguin: CD, TwinStorm, Starseeker, Striker (4)
Booknewt: Pizzaguy (1)

Still working on reads, however I'm wondering what people's reasoning is towards IcedPenguin (which... prob makes me look guilty given people saying that if Penguin's elim I am, but still curious what people's reasoning is). Kinda getting a wolfy read on him, bc he is randomly popping up with votes and nothing else today, and he was online an hour ago, but I want to hear both his reasoning and what people's reasoning is against him before I vote.

Pretty certain Pizzaguy's town. There is no reason for an elim to be drawing attention so much by refusing to vote, and he's been lifting fog-of-war. In a world where he is elim: he is an amazing elim, and I have no idea what that world would mean frankly.

I'd say I was leaning elim on Striker, but my rational would sound decidedly hypocritical, soooo yeah. The non-hypocritical portion: Kinda voting for who people suspected a lot - People were suspecting Penguin, then he voted Penguin, people (okay mainly PizzaGuy at that point) were suspecting me (which made sense honestly, I don't have a grudge about that) and he voted me, but then CD backed away from suspecting me and Pizzaguy did somewhat, and he switched back to Penguin. Similarly, yesterday lots of people were voting HoidSlayer and he voted HoidSlayer.

CD: Leaning town on him. Not sure why - might be slight bias bc he's the main person here I've talked to a lot outside of SE, but still leaning town. Partially bc he's new as well. Still working though him fully though.

Those are the reads I've got so far, still working through TwinStorm, Aeternum, Starseeker, and KelsierApologist. I'll prob have those in 20-30 minutes.

So ig right now my elim candidates are HoidSlayer and Striker, along with a third unknown person. Not going to vote for now until I hear people's responses to those though, and until I finish working through my reads.

Also abbreviations I don't understand:
LyLo, dome.

You'll all have one more cycle to catch an Elim after voting me out. You'll have to deal with it on your own

[Ookla the Newt she/her]

Okay, updated reads (aka the reads where I go a bit too deep into wine-in-front-of-you):

I'm like 85% sure that Penguin's elim, not sure how he can be town at this point. Bc... yeah that was not at all a helpful defense, to the point that it's more incriminating than anything else. Then again, if he was elim maybe he'd be more defensive, so maybe he's too elim-y to be the elim. Prob more like 60% actually. So I'll wait to vote until @StrikerEZ says his rational. (bc Striker's my other good read). 

Additional Reads: (hesitant to say for certain many people are positive, hence the "leaning" for positive ones until an elim's found bc then it gets a lot clearer)
Aeternum: Leaning positive, however I want to hear more about what he thinks during this cycle. Mainly leaning positive bc Penguin's been solidly against Aeternum this cycle, and everyone he's been against is either in my certainly positive category or has been proven town. In a world where Aeternum's elim, then either Penguin is town, or it was a planned action in the hopes it would clear Aeternum if Penguin was voted out. I might be reading too deep there though.

TwinStorm: Leaning slightly elim, but like Pizza said (came to this conclusion independently though) very dependent on other readings. I don't think him and Aeternum are the same alignment - TwinStorm's been decently anti-Aeternum - unless it's meant as a diversion tactic. In a world where TwinStorm's elim - given he voted Aeternum that means that Aeternum's either town, or it was a hope that a train wouldn't pile onto it and trying to space out elims and such, and Aeternum's elim. In a world where he's town, then too much can't be read into that though. Similarly, he's been consistently anti-Penguin, so about the same conclusion but sub Penguin in for Aeternum (don't really want to type all that out again.)

KelsierApologist: I have no clue. Been radio silent since Cycle 1, but there's no point in voting a person who's about to get hit by inactivity filter, soooo yeah. If town, is just busy, if elim, is prob trying to either increase fog of war, go under the cover, or let us go at each others throats, but Striker said that he suspects Kelsier, so if Kelsier's elim, then Striker isn't, and vice versa. Unless the elim team thought that ppl'd think that. @KelsierApologist, what's your perspective on recent stuff?

Edit: Since I finished my reads, I have time to type up some rp (in italics to distinguish) (this is prob real bad bc it's basically off the top of my head):
Booknewt looked around, scanning all those on the shores of the Purelake. She couldn't let herself be wrong again. Not after what had happened the night before. She had panicked. And it had cost Wishikk. 
Someone had killed Seth and Javert, though. Someone among the group's number was false. And she had to make a decision on who she thought it was. Not yet, though. Not yet. 

Edit 2: Wow this is dead for 2 hours before the cycle ends

@Aeternum: At this point, I'm kind of scared for you chances as village. D1 votes don't hold against you, and an elim team generally contains one veteran, leaving <Striker, Pizzaguy (technically), and you.> All of Pizzaguy's reads and lots have seemed fairly town standard, and Striker is too gone too do anything abt it. At this point, I'm gonna have to vote Aet, tho I want you to defend yourself, since I definitely missed something in my reasoning.

1) Aeoryi has already mentioned she randomizes who is picked as elim. It is possible there are zero veterans on the elim team.

2) Town can be wrong. In fact, I am very, very good at being wrong. You can ask Pizza for my credentials on this.

3) You are saying here that because I am the only unflipped person on a dead town wagon, where there were two other town voting, I am always an elim for that. Which is just not how it works, especially because TOW wagon effectively became relevant at EoD. I already semi talked about VCA yesterday and the fact that e!me does literally not need to make another wagon there unless I'm exactly e/e with Iced (given wagons were me/Iced ish iirc), which... should be pretty obviously not possible atp given our treatment of each other.

Not really in the mood to analyze anything rn, which is unfortunate in a 24/0 game. Atm think it's better to resolve in me/Iced today because if we're v/v that's probably just losing.

@Booknewt LyLo is when town needs to vote correctly or lose. Dome is like saying one of us is always an elim and forcing other people to vote between us (it never works).

@IcedOutPenguin if you're town, stop flailing and solve the game smh. It is very hard to figure out your alignment if you are not going to solve, and if you're town, ideally we find that out before you die.

All right, I get that. What's v/v and e/e? (Sorry I'm asking about so many abbreviations)

Also, until he shows up to explain what I pointed out: I'm voting Striker. Iced seems too obvious to be elim, quite frankly. Almost feels too easy (also I don't like voting on trains much.) Very subject to change though, this is possibly just going to be a poke vote. 

So 2 hours before, the voting stands at (correct me if I'm wrong on any of this):
Aeternum: IcedPenguin (1)
IcedPenguin: CD, TwinStorm, Starseeker, Striker (4)
Booknewt: Pizzaguy (1)
Striker: Booknewt (1)

Yet to vote: Aeternum, KelsierApologist. 
Yet to post: KelsierApologist

[Aeternum]

v/v refers to both players mentioned being town. e/e same but both players being elims together.

Starseeker, Ive been really... really struggling to get there. i don't like sneaking from one day to the next, I like it when everyone collaborates and is open and active, as much as possible. I was wary of this person on both previous days, but I wanted to find them innocent if possible. I am leaning this is the case, because they are putting in both the RP and the effort. It's just hard for me to be super solid about it.

Yeah I'm Starseeker. 

Well, you see, in my evenings when I have the most time, Pizza is like the only one that's both awake and online, so after I've responded to important things that've been said before, I don't have much else to do besides RP.

This doesn't sound like an elim to me.
But then again, could be intentional...

I'm wavering.

To me, Coder does not sound like an elim any longer, just a confused villager. 

I still think it could be Iced, and I don't have anything better, so I'm keeping my vote on him.

As for Booknewt... a little suspicious to me, though it could just be what she's said.
