The Unknown Medallion he/him Posted March 27 Posted March 27 49 minutes ago, Amanuensis said: Yeah, IMV I pretty much derailed early discussion with my initial misunderstanding of when alignments were given. I don't quite think it's into GM PM Etiquette territory as some of us were confused by the non-standard D0, which is more a reading comprehension problem on my part. I would say it's a topic not worth exploring further but I have personally formed some reads from the early reactions to my misunderstanding. Interesting. I'd love to hear those reasons. Araris could very well be one of my fake lean greens, and you could very well be one of my fake lean reds. 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. Curious who else is sus of you besides Qian (also another reason I picked you was them expressing minor PM suspicions of you and coco). Qian was the only one I noticed 30 minutes ago, TwinStorm said: im sus on TUM, but im always sus on TUM at the beginning of a game, smth abt vibes hey @The Unknown Medallion you mentioned you sus on Araris cuz of PM, what specifically? I don't like Araris volunteering for Head Boy. Normally I'd say it's a rather bold play for an elim, but not for Araris I don't think. It's kinda odd for a villager to do imo, but fits an e!Araris playstyle Edit for roleplay: After the first years had gone up, Siannain came back down. "Azalea ( @Doc12 how much did you see earlier?"

Verdance he/him Posted March 27 Posted March 27 (edited) Orry is about to mate Trance when professor Sprout bursts into the Hufflepuff common room. “Thank goodness you’re alright,” she says, out of breath. “Someone’s attacked one of the ghosts. I don’t know- where’s Cedric?” Orry shrugs. “He wrote me a letter. Says he’s come down with some unidentified illness and St. Mungo’s won’t let him out for a few weeks at least. Not like me and Trance here were about to win the House Cup anyway.” “A new student? In Hufflepuff? So now we have three. I swear, if Albus weren’t so attached to that hat I’d have shredded it and used it for fertilizer. It has a vendetta against me, you see, after I fed some of it’s rats to the Venomous Tentacula.” currently, and this is not my vote but what my vote would look like: +3 Mist, -1 Aman; -2 Araris. purely vibes, honestly i have zero idea what to do Edited March 27 by Through The Living Grass 3

Myst He/Him Posted March 27 Posted March 27 So. Mippo, I am a bit concerned on the lack of Ravenclaw right now. Using a bit of profile stalking, all of them have been on today. Most in the last hour.

Yes, your net score (sum of positive and negative numbers) is what determines your placement. * Voting in your GM PMs is for fixed values. The only tiers you have available are: 1st suspect (which I give -3 points to) 2nd highest suspect (-2) 3rd highest suspect (-1) 3rd highest trust (+1) 2nd highest trust (+2) 1st most trusted (+3) You don't have to submit votes for every tier, but you can't assign an unusual number of points to someone (+4 etc).

Slytherin undoubtedly has an elim or two, but its also going to be hard to find them, wheras ravenclaw almost certainly has one elim out of four. Im pretty sure I can trust Mist and if Gryffindor has an elim i would be surprised.

Mint11 she/her Posted March 27 Posted March 27 11 hours ago, Doc12 said: Now with updated robe trims! I'm not too happy with how Amara looks, might toy with that a little more. this is so rad I don't want to look at inactivity too early in the game, but I'm also wary of how little we've seen of Ravenclaw so far. Posting votes does give elims more of an edge than villagers IMO. I'm interested in thoughts around sharing votes in the house PM, instead of in thread, to help deduce which houses the elims are in. The downside of course is that if elims have access to all the house PMs, then this will give them an edge over village. I'll share reads later when I can get on a computer/have some more energy.
