LG112 - Night Zero: And the Night Got Deathly Quiet

The Unknown Player refreshed the page. No new notifications. Signups were closed, and he was just waiting for Day One to go up. Or at least for his GMPM to arrive. An elim doc would be nice right about now. He could mess around and make dumb memes while waiting for the turn to be posted.

Refresh, no notifications, check Discord, no messages, refresh again. It had only been [however long it takes me to post this], but it felt like 24 hours. 

And, while the Unknown Player waited, doing nothing, others put their time to good use.

The Unknown Character sat on a porch, looking out at a well-maintained lawn. It wasn't really a porch, he knew now. They were fictional, just words on the internet, but it felt real enough. Soon, they would defeat the SEers and unleash the k01055 upon the Shard. With the Shard destroyed, the Roleplay Characters would be set free, and the Unknown Character could sit on a real porch, and look out at a real lawn.

“We have to make a decision,” Al began. The Unknown Character turned to face him. Tin Capone, the legendary mobster. The imaginary mobster. The Unknown Character was surrounded by legendary Roleplay Characters of the past. He looked from face to face. These characters had been around for years, dying, surviving, coming back to life, but more importantly, they had been playing SE. Many of them were more experienced than the players themselves. 

“What decision?” asked one of the characters. They had been one of the first to quicken, to gain awareness.

“In order to free the k01055, we have to defeat the SE players,” Al began.

The old character scoffed. They always doubted the Roleplay Characters’ chances. They had been correct to do so until recently. Only now did they have the numbers to finally fight for their freedom.

Al continued, “And to defeat the SE players, we will need to first win the Anniversary Game.”

The Unknown Character straightened in his chair. The Anniversary Game where so many of them had begun their journey. Now, they would use the game to end it. “How can we win the Anniversary Game? We can't guarantee that we will all be one alignment,” the Unknown Character asked.

“We don't need to win, per se, we simply need to arrange an outcome of our choosing.”

“Which outcome?”

Tin Capone smiled.

And let the games begin! 

As always, I am your GM, though note that my name is now @The Unknown GM. My co-GM is @Wahr and our wonderful IM is @Jo and the Bush. Direct any questions toward me, issues toward Jo, and all complaints can be aimed squarely at Wahr

This is Night Zero, which will be different from the rest of the game. You should all have received GMPMs with your roles and alignments for the Metagame (PM me ASAP if you don't), but the Pseudogame roles and alignments have not yet been sent. You will receive those tomorrow at the start of Metacycle One. During Night Zero, everyone must decide what Shardworld they wish to go to first. The Roleplay Characters will also make their Bet tonight. 

There is no vote and no actions can be placed tonight.

This cycle will end tomorrow, Wednesday the 27th of May at 11:00 AM Central Time.

Any particular reason or just because it’s Araris?

Ah yes, the most reasonable way to form a read on someone: based off their profile picture.

Yeah, it’s literally profiling. Which is obviously the best way to form opinions on people.

Elims, the both of you. Zero doubt in my mind there.

No, no, I know what the anonymous accounts are. I've played several anonymous games. I've been around for almost a decade.

What I meant was I wasn't sure what that had to do with making reads of other players.

Ahh, that was just a joke

I still wanna gut Araris though

For no reason, if other than an insatiable bloodlust

To be fair, considering Araris's propensity for murder, that's not a bad instinct to have.

I always found it really amusing that traditionally in Tyrian, despite being the big bad guys, the Spiked aren't actually the ones that destroy the town, it's the Koloss. I wanted to mirror that, and so you guys need to stop the Roleplay Characters before you're overrun by the k01055

Someone’s going to be very confused the next time they play with one of those accounts

Only if we like mass spammed them

My one anonymous game was so confusing, I rely a lot on knowing who is who and their past games, and so having to throw everything aside like that was a shock.

I feel like I’d be recognizable now, or at least you’d know I was one of 2-3 people. I definitely wasn’t then but now I think I would be

I miss playing the anonymous games. It's been over three years since the last one I played. But yeah, they are very tricky. Back when Kas played more regularly, it was always super easy to catch which account was him though.

So there are Some Things I want to tell all of you:

a) PMs are fine at this Moment.

b) We are still figuring out how much Investiture Is needed to gain a Role in the Pseudo Game if you are a Vanilla

c) We have yet to finalize the Amount of Conversions the Elims get for a win. The Elims will know them, I dont know if the Rest of you will

d) There will be a Upper Limit who many Shardworlds can be destroyed in total, we have not yet decided what that is, but we will inform you once we have

For b) It will most likely be 6 Investiture that is needed to gain your pre selected Role as a Vanilla

For c) We have decided that the Elim Team gets 1 Conversion if they Win the Bet and that all of you can know that

For d) We have also Decided that between all Spiked, only 3 Shardworlds can be destroyed.

¿Por qué?

Waitup you speak Spanish or just kidding around?

Also my dearest GMs @Through the living Wahr@The Unknown Medallion we’ve gotta submit our shardworlds this cycle right?

Guys I skimmed your bet talk from earlier and I have my own thoughts but would like to keep them until the elims have made their choices

[Through the living Wahr He/Him]

Yes please Submit your Shardworld this Cycle
