The mafia is the (mostly) informed minority against us, the uninformed majority. If we can narrow that gap, that is how games are won. I agree, I was joking. I probably would have outed us if I had posted before you
Verdance he/him Posted March 27 Posted March 27 3 minutes ago, Through the Living Mist said: Trance studied the board. The pieces chattering. He saw the move. His queen flew across the board. The Queen shouted in exhilaration, “haha, We took the Queen! Wait—“ before dying off in realization. Orry captured Trance’s Queen. ”Oh” Trance said, he hadn’t seen that Orry accepted the queen trade, then blocked a check from Trance’s bishop with his knight, simultaneously defending and attacking two pawns. Trance was winning by a pawn and keeping pressure on Orry, but he had also compromised his kingside castling pawns, while Orry could take his king to safety at any time. The pieces seemed cautiously optimistic about the game.
Doc12 Posted March 27 Posted March 27 I have a base reluctance to exe Mist and Aman right now, because the whole C0 debate is interesting and I'm glad it's been clarified now, but I think I side with Mist for zeroing in on Aman's 'alignment' phrasing, even if I don't think it was necessarily a slip. I do appreciate they got it clarified, that's less Fog of War, which benefits us. Beyond that, Aman just hasn't been in a game for a while and I want to play with him . Same thing for Mint. Related, base reluctance to exe the newbies. I think that's Grass (or Ver? Sorry, what would you prefer to be called?), Ink, Miss Fallen, Emperor. I am curious about Emperor - I didn't see them in thread at all, yet they must have made the active choice for Slytherin to be in our House. This is funny because essentially I'm not voting on anyone in Hufflepuff or Gryffindor this round. Have we heard anything from the Ravenclaw House? They've been quiet. So I'm left with a pool of Araris, Twinstorm, TUM, Qian, Mippo, Coco, TJ, Worldhopper, Wahr. I really haven't seen anything alignment indicative from anyone of those yet, really. People seem to think Qian is V! leaning for reaction to the C0 confusion. Beyond that, it's not much. Don't know if this is indicative of anything, but Araris and Twin separately nominated me for Prefect, then Araris made a bid and Twin switched to voting for Araris. *shrug* Probably nothing but I'm noting it down. I don't know, not voting yet, will check back later.

I was only pointing out that I decided to not be Slytherin after I was told I'm village, not because of it I could be evil here but that requires me pretending to have no idea elims were selected D1 rather than D0 + that I was gaslighting Mist about him being the one confusing things This is in fact why I think Mist is just V. Jumping on the "slip" and him already clearing Ver based on their PM feels more reminiscent of LG110 than my initial D0 impression of him (which was based on me thinking alignments were given D0 not D1) Edited March 27 by Amanuensis 2

O wind on the waterfall, and the leaves' laughter! Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow; Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow No, not really. I'm somewhat suspicious of @coco.pudding and @The Unknown Medallion, but nothing concrete. I think we should analyze all the stuff people said when we were confused about house selection and eliminated picks. We might find an inconsistency somewhere. What? You’re not playing chess move by move because one of you is playing online and the other using a physical chessboard? 1
coco.pudding she/they Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Okay wow there’s a lot going on, sorry I’ve missed so much lol. Been at work all day. So from skimming I’m getting that House choices are not a sign of who’s elim or not since elims were informed of their role after Houses were formed. That makes sense. I do think it also makes sense to exe a Slytherin today, there are too many of us to statistically not have at least one elim in the mix. Not sure who yet, I’ll get on that soon. I think it’ll definitely be important for us to both solve within our PM and within thread, and ideally to share some of our in-house solving with everyone else. We have an interesting dynamic here with basically mini threads added on to the main one, and it seems like something that could happen is neglecting one in favor of the other, so we should try to avoid doing that, as well as making sure everyone knows why we’re voting for some particular person if that decision came from something said in a PM.

Mint has indicated business until the weekend and Ink is still warming up to SE, I think. I have a minor tinfoil that Archer put two elims with me and this is Mint teasing me, but that's a late game problem Currently I have voted Ink as Prefect and am waiting for others to vote 7 minutes ago, coco.pudding said: Who’s in Ravenclaw?

All good! I just wanted to clear it up as much as possible ED2T: In the event of 3 elims, my gut does not think that Mint / mippo / TUM are a coherent team, but they are all slots I wouldn't mind getting flipped at this juncture. I also personally think 4 elims is not off the table depending on how Archer spread them (2 and 2 in 2/4 Houses could justify it, for one example; more likely 2/1/1 & least likely 1/1/1/1) I will also say that: I have intentionally made X players green that are actually red and Y players red that are actually green (I personally find utility in not letting some elims know if you're onto them to lure them into complacence, i.e. "reverse pocketing") I may or may not be lying about my vote spread as there is some element of the elims benefitting a lot more if they know exact vote distributions (easier for them to organize MLs if they know the legitimate counts) Edited March 27 by Amanuensis

Mostly I'm picking on you atm because you're usually reluctant to vote early and the sooner I coax a read from you, the better for my sanity.

"You'll find a lot of things in Hogwarts are going to be unsettling at first, but you will prove to be their equal. Take our House Ghost." She gestured to the Bloody Baron talking to one of the other students. "Terrifying to look at, with his gaunt eyes and chains. But a sweetheart when you actually talk to him." She got up, brushed herself down. "Why don't you get some rest? This was a very exciting first day. We'll talk more tomorrow, yeah?" She smiled, again, and perhaps Raese is perceptive enough to notice it isn't quite confident as she thinks, perhaps not. "Welcome to Slytherin, Raese. We expect great things from you tomorrow." Once Raese was gone, however, her smile dropped as she hunted for her friend. "Vera? Vera what was that? What do you think happened? Do you think it was a prank or did something actually happen? @coco.pudding
