Haelbarde he/him Posted March 1 Posted March 1 6 hours ago, Divergent said: Can you elaborate more on how you define coasting? I could see how that applies to Coder, but neither Archer or I have been coasting at all. If you had any questions for me to, especially with things you wanted clarified, let me know (Trying to iso on mobile is horrible) Coasting wasn't really the right term. I think it was more a feeling of your posts feeling safe. You don't feel like you're struggling or have a strong urgency regarding one outcome or another despite being fairly active. I'll try and be more specific, and the above can probably be said of plenty of others too, but I've got to try make my bus so I'll need to cut this short. 6 hours ago, Divergent said: Had the same question for you as one of the non-voters in Loop 1, why didn'tyou vote at all? It's a fair question and I don't really have a defence. Didn't realise it was a short D1 and wasn't caught up enough to throw a vote down. D2 I think I was unsure whether we wanted to execute a strong villager candidate in case the elims went for the victory, or if it was still better to find an Elim candidate. D3, I think was a mix of fatigue, and I didn't think it mattered anymore for that loop.
DrakeMarshall he/him Posted March 1 Posted March 1 4 hours ago, Archer said: If you pick someone to vote on, I'll be your +1 * @DrakeMarshall Side note on masks, I think it's best to keep them secret because the elims need to know who is safe to NK (non explosive). Anyone know how many they need to NK this cycle? bold of you to assume I wasn’t already bidding on the explosive mask and just lying about it …this may be a hot take but I think talking about things is still good even knowing some people will probably be lying for tactical reasons I’m also against making everyone claim what they’re doing, mind. But I mean there are real benefits on the table for talking a bit about who is bidding on what. We don’t all bid on the same things and leave other things up for grabs. The elims will certainly coordinate amongst themselves if my profile of their team is accurate, all we get by making everything Top Secret:tm: is that they’ll generally earn more masks on average cuz they coordinated and the village didn’t. in the spirit of honesty (as you all know I am very honest) the postman’s hat is no longer my top bid because I realized it’s really not as good as I thought it was technically it was never my top bid due to some confusion over the bidding rules but that’s not important I’m now much more interested in the Bremen Mask Anyways I’ll be back at some point I just wanted to respond to the @ alright peace
Burnt Spaghetti she/her Posted March 1 Posted March 1 7 hours ago, Divergent said: Hahah somehow I thought you had reached 20 because of your interaction with Mistfallen mentioning dead meat and I was like, I guess you got the dead doc mask?? I'm fairly sure I was asleep when people were voting Wahr (my timezone's UTC+8), so I think it's more NAI. But anyways, I had voted Wahr because I felt that some of his statements and actions were contradictory (being suspicious of people moving away from Wonko/Archer and then doing the same; believing one of them to be elim and then voting Mistfallen), and also that Archer's one of my village reads, so I didn't want him to go either I wanted to ask, why didn't you vote at all the previous two days? It really just comes down to i only had mild reads on people, it didnt feel confident in any of my reads. I typically try not to vote on someone unless I can put some amount of reasoning behind it, unless its more of a poke vote. Also doesn't help when my strongest suspicions simultaneously read village to me. Like mist for example, their behaviour makes me sus, but also their actions read village to me. So while I feel I have good reason, the vibes are wrong. So I dont vote because im conflicted 6 hours ago, Doc12 said: Ok, clearly I missed a lot >> You should have received two, yeah. @Archer can you confirm? So. I think I really like Drake's performance. Asking questions in thread and making uninformed assumptions to get corrected makes for a compelling village read. Leaving that aside for now. We're getting different CWs to Mist, which is good for options. I think as others have pointed out it does seem like a bit of an overreaction - as LGs tend to go, the first wagon usually doesn't last because people get worried halfway through the day. Love the player historically known for not voting til the last few cycles calling me out Not sure what you want me to say about it. I suppose I do like to vote later in a cycle because more information also making ties are fun, but I voted early this cycle! Yeah, looking back my votes have been off-train, and you can argue that voting for Hoid Slayer and TJ would do nothing, but for the first I was hoping for EoD shenanigans from Hoid, which kind of happened D3. Does anyone ping you as being e! motivated this cycle? ---- Vote count Mistfallen (3): Ash, Wahr, Stick, Dive (2): Araris, Hael Burnt (2): Archer, Dive Wonko (1): Doc Stick (2): Mistfallen, Wonko TJ (1): Burnt Interesting that the confirmed villagers are sticking with Mist. On the whole, something I noticed is that both Burnt and Mist have expressed a willingness to be exed and go into the dead doc. Is that something elims want this cycle? I suppose the question is if we win would the exed players or nk'd players be more under suspicion. My gut was to say I'd investigate the exed because the elims don't have control of that. But is there a world where an elim would get themselves exed d1 because that's the day we'd probably pay least attention to? I'm retracting on Wonko. Glad to see you driving discussion again. Willing to vote on Burnt. Of the two Australians, Burnt has been more active in thread, but said less - though pressure this cycle has her saying more. Though as I say that Hael's back in with a vote on Dive. They're both equally fair game in my book. Interested to see what Hael has in the morning. ---------------- Thistle relaxed into Cindra's hug, tears unexpectedly pricking at their own eyes. Yes, she knew Cindra, had confided in her, even if they hadn't really... had a conversation before today? But Cindra's own cheeks were wet... what was going on with today? "Flower crowns sound great!" Thistle chirped. "Do you have a color in mind? a specific bloom? Why don't you come around to my shop -" Thistle blinked as Zymni left their shadow to tug insistently at Cindra's leg. "Oh, my apologies," They smiled at Cindra "Zymni really doesn't like being out in the sun, Why don't we talk at my shop?" A quick glance at their shadow, "Is that alright with you, Zymni?" --- Inside Fairy Flowers, Thistle hurried to brew a pot of elderflower tea, having settled Cindra in the sitting room. "So what's got you so interested in our musician, Zymni?" "Also, are you thinking warm or cool flowers for her hair? Warm safflinas to complement or cool to set it off?" I can see the elims wanting to see what's in the dead doc, but id have thought captains would be the way to go personally. Im happy to go because I can have much easier conversation there (i know im an older player but ive never liked being vocal in thread >.> its harder for me to vibe check carefully written posts vs more relaxed chatter), plus I know theres a bunch of people here who will permanently be suspicious of me, so while I know it realistically doesn't benefit anyone for me to die so I can get a doc, if it means im more in my element and the people who dont trust me can get a chance to see im fine then great, just yall better send elims my way to chat to :P 3 hours ago, Mistfallen Soldier said: It counts all rupees earned and spent, I’ve gotten max each cycle so far (Edit: besides, if I hadn’t sent PMs, I’d be able to get another red mask) You are aware that this isn’t a tie? (edit: I know Burnt got max rupees that first two days, but I don’t remember about day 3. It is possible this is a tie, in which case it’s either random or comes down to who gets the most rupees today, and I get 6 from today so far) Ohh i missed that. Then yeah that's fair. --- Cindra loved being in Thistles flower shop. It always smelt absolutely divine. As she looked around, she shuddered slightly as she remembered how Thistle had so frantically packed up everything. She would have to have used up pretty much everything by the end... A gorgeous boquet used for its abilities rather than beauty. She browsed the flowers, pausing by the Violets and safffinas, hand drifting to where they had stayed crumpled in her pocket in that... dream I guess? She sat back down in the chair Thistle had showed her to. This all just felt wrong. But she smiled anyway. 1

Speaking of not dying, it seems like that’s going to happen, so I should get my RP posts in for some Rupees. ———— Kieran shook his head, this expedition had been a catastrophe, the mask was stolen. People had even been blaming him. It seems that they had come to their senses though, but still. “We’ve got to figure out what’s going on, we have to get the next mask” Unfortunately, he didn’t know how to do that yet, masks hadn’t been widespread in his adventuring days. “Guess it’s just one more thing I’ll have to figure out” 2
Araris Valerian he/him Posted March 1 Posted March 1 The folks currently on my mind are Divergent, coco, Archer, and Wonko. Earlier on I had the latter two as village reads, but I think they both fit the profile of the elim team I've got in my head, which has an emphasis on strategy and thread control. Both Archer and Wonko were clearly thinking about the strategy of L1, and while anyone could be thinking about that stuff, it's fairly clear that the elims were thinking about it, and so it could have bled from their doc into the thread. 4 players didn't vote during D2a or D3a: Ash, Coder/Drake, Burnt, and Hael. I think we should ignore all of them for now. Aiming for a L1 win is a risky play with low/inactive teammates that aren't voting. Hoid, Archer, and Mistfallen all had 2 votes during D2a, while Wahr had 5. Wahr is confirmed village, and the odds mean it's pretty likely that at least one of Hoid/Archer/Mist is elim. Mist/coco/TJ/Divergent/myself voted for Wahr, and probably contains 1-2 elims. Archer uses a weird mechanical analysis to rule out Divergent and coco from his POE. I'm not a fan of that. Anyways, I'm sticking with my vote on Divergent but would be happy to switch onto Archer or coco. Also, all the folks that died should at least consider going for the Blast Mask. That puts pressure on the elims to not repeat the L1 kills.

coco.pudding she/they Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Huh yeah that is an interesting count. I think the ones I’m most suspicious of would be Burnt or Divergent atm, Burnt has been semi-active but not all that mechanical/solving minded it seems like? And then Divergent has also been active but idk something feels a bit weird about some of their posts. Stick I feel pretty good about since both Mistfallen and I scanned them and they weren’t doing anything. And Mistfallen I think I’ve made my thoughts pretty clear on. So ya I really just haven’t voted yet bc I don’t know who I want to vote for. 3 minutes ago, The Unknown Medallion said: Thoughts on what mask I should buy?

Myst He/Him Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Hmm, so currently Dive and Burnt are tied with four votes, but Dive would be voted out. I’m alright with this, as I don’t have a specific read on him. TUM brought up how I could be E, and Burnt is a counter wagon, and I’m a bit confused by that, considering only the confirmed Village seem to be set on that. Everyone else seems to think otherwise. I assume yall had a conversation in dead doc about it, but I’d like to hear reasoning(remember, you can still be wrong) so @The Unknown Medallion @Wahrheitswächter I’ll ping Ash as well @Ashbringer

Amanuensis he/him Posted March 2 Author Posted March 2 (edited) I am off work already and about to start working on the write up. Just over one and a half hours remain to vote, bid for Masks, and RP (which I'd appreciate, as I'm going to really try to incorporate y'all more :P) So far I think only Link the Goron has alerted the Clock Wards of the explosions? Seems Amora is on the way to see Commander Vicsen, and Zymni + Thistle + Cindra are looking for Ap. Ap is looking for Squircle, whom went to the Happy Mask Salesman earlier than the first Loop and became a different person. I imagine Heroshi is having an existential crisis rn, although one unrelated to the world almost ending and him dying violently to Odolwa. Sorry if I forgot some RP, it's been a pretty discussion heavy day Edited March 2 by Amanuensis 1
Ashbringer he/him Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Eventually Coliver made it back to her feet. Or at least a group effort of feet, still leaning on Makazi. Makazi, who'd been alone in the temple. Makazi, who'd been left with bloodied hands. Makazi, who right now seemed mostly concerned with the fact Coliver had "fainted" and that the first batch of cookies was probably ruined. And she was saying she could make another! It was like nothing had happened to her. Indeed, as Coliver looked at the Goron home she was in, her friends returning from worried looks to giggles, it was as if nothing had happened at all. "Mak... how long does the festival go?" Coliver said, thinking she knew the answer that was coming. "Three days. The opening's tonight. We have a booth soon, we'll just need to probably postpone with two of us a bit under the weather," Makazi said. Three days. So it started... today. Two days ago from when she'd... she'd... No. Not again. Something else. Something else to think about. She'd heard stories of the Hero interfering with time, but she'd never thought she'd end up living in one. Then two things, not including her memory of death, made Coliver's blood run cold. Earlier memories, of fire and explosions, the first day of the festival. That was the first. The second was seeing Marton's body wander in sheepishly looking for cookies, sporting a limp he hadn't had when he'd gotten on that boat, and sporting a grin that was oh so ready to get away with something. Something in Coliver was already broken, but something else snapped. She grabbed the sheet of ruined drybread and threw it at Not-At-All-Marton's head. "You! You did this! You took my friend, you killed my friends, you ruined everything!" "Col!" Makazi started, but Not-Marton interrupted. Not with a complaint or an argument, but with a look of such stark surprise that Coliver couldn't help but believe it. At least part of it. "... what?" Not-Marton said. "You're helping them! The faces in the night! The ones who destroyed the city... who will destroy the city! Again!" Not-Marton just stared at Coliver, mouth agape. "Col, what are you saying?" Makazi said, taking her in part back to the first part of conversation. "Mak, we need to leave the city. Get everyone you can - find Vale! Please. Please remember. The South Gate, we need to get out. Someone's going to attack. Very soon." As Coliver half-dragged Makazi away to go fetch the others, she heard something else that made her cold-blood freeze. Not-Marton was laughing. 1
Wonko the Sane he/him Posted March 2 Posted March 2 I am... unnerved by the sudden spike in interest in Dive. It feels like a hasty effort to defend Burnt, except that it would be almost TOO obvious to countenance. Still, it definitely makes this feel like a reasonable play: Stick. Burnt. There are other things I'd like to respond to, but I don't have the time right now. I'll do it after rollover instead. I'll try and be back on in like 45 minutes to react to anything last-minute. @Burnt Spaghetti @Doc12 I for SURE don't have the energy or time to write RP right now, but if you feel like continuing, the post I WOULD write would be Zymni appearing to Cinder and demanding she play her flute. Then, as soon as Zymni can confirm that it isn't the sound of Ap's Ocarina, she rudely interrupts, complaining that Cinder isn't the one, and demands that Thistle take her out searching again. 1
