so I'd guess 5 maybe even 6 if the village got a lot of roles

I agree with this estimate FWIW. Not scientific, entirely vibes-based but whatever we ball.

I did actually run computer simulations to help get the elim numbers right, otherwise I might've had the game up half an hour sooner  sorry for being too much of a nerd for my own good

No thoughts just vibes we ball

I don't really have the energy for serious analysis because somehow I'm still so tired (getting into proper sprammar mode is something mentally exhausting IDEK anymore), I'm just off the benches and rusty af, probably spread myself and my SAN too thin maining two to three games consecutively for a decent chunk of this year hence crashing out in both of Drake's games at once (RIP bro.) I don't think I realised how much I overdid things until I chilled out.

I can't full-Kas this so I won't. Anyway the set-up isn't really conducive to it and I imagine there's diminishing returns and I don't recall anyone's meta so soddit we ball

[Kasimir he/him]

Spelling out some of my earlier thoughts:

Divergent - I like the energy of the thread entrance. Happy to be there and easy in a way IDK an Elim immediately feels. I've felt Divergent's second post is more reserved so IDK where to go, but I will stick with the V lean for now because Vibe Economy.

Lotus - Hesitate to ascribe a read. Theoretically I like being willing to come into thread and make a no killing joke (?) That's a casual kinda position I feel an Elim would not wanna assume off the bat because it usually gets you side-eyed. But IDK Lotus's experience level and Lotus later asks the vote question and then subsequently votes so I guess I need to rethink this player. (There's a world where E!Lotus says it because Elims have the kill anyway.) I wanted to V!lean based off the subsequent vote question but ngl I'm aware it's very thin basis. Don't feel comfortable ascribing a read, let's move on.

KSauce - Pretty measured entrance. Difficult to read. The randomly question in later post feels a bit weird and I'm trying to understand the mindset it comes from. Probably a v. weak negative lean if forced.

Argenti - IDK. 

Storm - I don't want to give too much credit because I think any competent Elim has incentive to vote here. Nonetheless I usually will always accord a lil V credit this early for being willing to get the ball rolling in a tepid thread. We can revise later if necessary.

Doc - Great to be playing with Doc again, I kinda like the mood and the joke. Relaxed attitude in the thread off the bat. We'll go with positive vibes for now, so V!lean but Doc is good enough that I'm not gonna expect to see much difference regardless. Won't be ride or die (tbh true of most vibe reads.)

STINK - chill but no cigar

TUH - I have thoughts about that post. I'm not fully sure how I feel about this and TUH's subsequent, but it's not a V lean, that much is for sure.

Exp - Just existing, very reserved. I kind of feel like I'd wanna see more energy from Exp coming in (IDK if this is meta or what) so this doesn't leave me feeling positive, the hanging back feels a tad palpable.

That's about it, I don't really feel like anything else jumped out to me and I don't feel constructive going further so this is it.

I now have PMs with every single person in the game, I am unstoppable.

That's fun Kas, reading people based on their entrances isn't something I've seen recently  

Also apologies if I dip in and out I am very busy playing a karkton of Hades 2  

Unknown, you're a fossil, but I think unfortunately Kas and I and maybe Fura are even bigger fossils

I played in a game where we were limited to, I want to say, 5 or fewer posts per cycle with a strict character limit in each post. (Don't recall the exact number but it was dire.) There's just no back-and-forth to be had under those conditions so a lot of people had to go off early vibes and put more stock in them. I'm still surprised we found one Elim that way.

I like this. I always find it difficult to read people early game because there’s too little that’s said to see where people’s alignments lie, so it’s nice to see you articulate reasons for your early reads (might be something I want to learn from)

[Doc12]

@KaladinsSenseOfHumorSpren does it really matter how the distro is picked? I feel like I've noticed in more recent games (Joe's MR, Aman's LG, this game) people asking how the GM picks the distro, which is kind of a weird question, really. Seems like the main way its used is to kind of ask 'did you put two vet players together' kind of thing? Agree with Kas its a weird question to ask, but it does seem to be a question that's being asked more recently.

I think I may have the most games actually, I believe I was in a game with some older players a while ago and I had the most then, but I'm not certain

[Ookla the Newt she/her]

alr just got home. I may be wearing a mistcloak rn bc I just got back from a halloween party, incidentally. (also I ate too much sugar so you have been warned.)

Getting a wolf read on Unknown, bc the best way to not get thought of as the rebel spymaster would be to say you're the rebel spymaster, but that might also be way overthinking "wine in front of me". Bc then again, if I were wolf, i wouldn't make a joke like that, but Unknown's experienced enough... Yeah I'm doing "wine in front of me" thinking. 

Not going to vote for him for now, bc unless my tally is wrong, he's dangerously close to being voted out rn, and I don't want that to happen just bc of a random weird line of thinking.

Going to refrain from voting until I read through in more detail, but I'll prob make up a tally so far to help clear things out (will edit this post if no other ones are made)

I'll do some rp later bc for someone who loves this show so much, I am struggling a disturbing amount to come up with stuff.

Yeah that happened in the other se game I've played (the purelake one), like... day 1 as well, so that's another reason I don't rly want to vote you out. I will if there's more indicative stuff, but not sure yet

Not sure what to make of dm behavior, since this is the first se game I've played with dms.

the votes so far are... spread out, to put it lightly.
Experience - 1 vote (Kasmir)
Ksauce - 1 vote (TwinStorm)
Lotus - 1 vote (Ksauce)

Looks like I missed Unknown getting un-voted earlier, sry about that

Nice, I’m doing my job correctly. In terms of experience, I joined the shard like 2 days ago. I occasionally play murder in the dark with my friends but that’s about it. That said, I’m an introvert, and I completely overthink texts.

[Experience he/him]

Hmm, the fact that elims don't know each other makes some things harder because they can't accidently out themselves by being extra friendly towards other elims. It's also interesting playing with a bunch of players I haven't played with before as I don't know their playstyles either which is kinda refreshing ig. I also feel like because elims don't know each other to starts it's more likely to have a distro of 4 elims with some abilities mixed in or 3 with heavy abilities.

Divergent - Idk nothing glaring, but also nothing that screams vil.

Thought - Leaning vil as they are being active and voting people, mostly gut but isn't everything at this point

KSauce - Crazy that this is the largest game. anyways, voted stink for their comment about not vote killing...and because I already said something about this part of me feels like they are trying to hop onto that bus before it takes off, but I can't really fault them for that as I said it anyways...idk what my read is on them.

Argenti - Welcome to the SE side of the shard :). (You should post more, although so should I so I can't really be saying much lol)

TwinStorm - Voted kas, must be vil  But then switched vote so could be elim. Apparently has been PMing people but hasn't PMed me I am offend.

Kas - voted me so must be vil. Otherwise claimed they weren't gonna full kas but coulda fooled me xD

Doc - Pm'd everyone, but still doesn't one up that one anon game where I made every possible three way conversation with like 25 players xD Also don't like the stink vote and it happened after the other one too.

Stink - idc if they are rebel scum we're vibing in pms don't kill them >:(. Also while I think we should vote someone off d1, I don't necessarily believe someone not thinking that way makes them elim. I would normally say the fact that they have the most votes makes them seem more cleared but there's no elim doc yet so it can't be coordinated past the fact that people may try to blend in with votes.

Worldhopper - Don't have enough to go off of anything

Ace - same

Hoid Slayer - lots of sleep rp

Woah TUA is TUH now? - Kinda existing vibes, nothing especially empiric or rebellious

Booknewt - leaning village, posts vibe good

other players haven't posted unless I missed it. 

Most willing to vote KSauce or Doc at this point I think.
