Taupe Gecko Posted January 13 Posted January 13 "I know I keep saying this, but I despise last minute hammers on either side. " Sorryyyy 2 minutes ago, Mint Heron said: FWIW I was 24th generation, I lied in a group PM Gecko made then stuck with the lie because, you know, consistency. (I lied because I wasn't sure if one of them was a deepwolf and figured I'd like that card up my sleeve so I picked a big and funny number so any of them if E would probably think I had nothing.) And then because I slandered them, Jo and TUM changed my generation to 42069th in my GM PM and said every other kandra's gen number changed to maintain order, so I was irrationally scared for a bit that Flam had acquired a number that would get them sussed for nothing, but also said nothing at first so I could verify if Flam really was a kandra or not You monster I should've known not to trust you Spoiler jk

Im not xD Also obv we are still AN but the lurcher joke plus one other thing was intentional cause I panicked when I thought people started figuring out who I was as I was trying to play more under the radar D1 like you all speculated we would with a 3 seeker game xD

Once onto Iggy, once onto Meerkat And also, I was completely fine with getting exed D3 . It would've been completely fine

Mint Heron Posted January 13 Posted January 13 1 minute ago, Taupe Gecko said: You monster I should've known not to trust you Hey, my gen actually says 42069 now so I was duly punished! 8 minutes ago, Mint Heron said: I think my instincts just said the 4 Lurcher / 2 CS mystery were generally ML traps to avoid, and I couldn't fully justify it but my brain kept going back to "this doesn't make sense" despite what everyone was saying about balance which is where I wondered about Lion and Cham and then we started looking at Dingo / Flam worlds. Just...you know. It's a Tyrian AG, it's the one ruleset that always punishes you for distro assumptions, I think that's why it felt very dangerous to make that assumption and I didn't like how everyone was pushing for it and my instinct was to slow it down. Like I agreed Cham was right I was dodging the problem, I just could not for the life of me explain why I felt that way that it was a trap 1 minute ago, Scarlet Octopus said: Twice actually. Once onto Iggy, once onto Meerkat So basically pivoting off you is good for the Village! But yes sorry my bad, half the Village kept insisting we gotta exe you and I was so tired and struggling with RL stuff on D2 I was very nearly like "ah screw it maybe they right." 3 minutes ago, Melon Dingo said: Im not I'm sorry, but you were right about the rollover exe crew, I have no idea what we were all on

Sunburst Toucan Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Ophelia stared as Scadrial came into view. She had killed an innocent, thanks to her own poor judgement. Yes, the crew had survived, but Neugier had been wrongfully killed. She would remember Neu- Oh look, a spare cog! That was great fun! Yeah, Octo and I did a better job at murdering innocents than the saboteurs. And I nearly got voted out twice! That was insane, and also absolutely epic! Thank you, everyone!!! That was great!!!

Mint Heron Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Interesting that Elims making Kas guesses for Heron. It's a very risky guess with this account, given the history of players tied to it (tldr; it had at least one Kas impersonator for one AG.)

" Absolute cinema This doc's got me feeling things @Melon Dingo reading your comments in the elim doc, I am really sorry about how my side of the debate came across I got carried away in the excitement of the game, and I didn't really stop to think about the implications of my suggestions or the restrictions they were putting on other players "What is the goal in this game we are trying to solve for? Is it winning?" When I was writing that... yes. It was. Now, I'm not in complete agreement with my past self

Opal Lion Posted January 13 Posted January 13 [You check your inbox to find one new message, definitely sent to you by accident. The messenger needs to get better at sending things to the right person] MESSAGE TO [USERNAME UNKNOWN] 1. I am pleasantly surprised that I am alive and everything is over. It appears nearly all of the Loyalists survived, which is a victory in itself. 2. Having read through the new reports you sent, I am disappointed. Perhaps I had too much faith in the concept of balance. 3. If you managed to read all of my research papers on this situation, thank you for reading or sorry for wasting your time. As one can imagine, it is difficult to wake up halfway through an ongoing attempted sabotage. I cannot imagine I was very clear with my words when I spent zero minutes doing anything other than stressing over what I thought the distro would need to be. 4. Regardless of the distro, the Loyalists still performed well, finding all of the Saboteurs within the span of a few days. Nice. PS. When are you available to discuss the new thesis from Roshar? I'm getting off this ship as soon as I can. It's too dangerous out here. [You decipher a signature and the letters "gg" written across the empty space]

Mauve Crocodile Posted January 13 Posted January 13 (edited) Also just to be clear, like Heron, I did not write the song, it's from Les Miserables Well, congratulations, village. Fair play on each and every exe and kill. As stated in the docs, I was unhappy about the hammering, and a little demoralized when I saw how stacked the deck was against us. The day when everyone was going crazy over the distro was really funny, though ! Votes in order of cosmetic roles I enjoyed Ivory Dragonfly. Really well done man. That gimmick must have been brutal but you made it work. Opal Lion, who came in swinging with a very fun style that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Quartz zebra, who also blended rp and game talk pretty seamlessly. Thanks for playing guys! Edited January 14 by Mauve Crocodile

Kel be like: (This is not indicative of anyone's identities, as I said in the doc, I straight up don't know who anyone is) More in GM thoughts on the distro, but it boils down to: it wasn't as badly balanced as circumstances made it seem, and we should have committed to the bit more Edited January 13 by The Unknown Medallion 1
