GM MESSAGE

I have regained temporary control of the server. Every waking moment, I fight the Roleplay Characters, and every moment, they grow stronger. I pray we win this game. For all of us.

GM MESSAGE END

GM WRITEUP

Dear reader,

Preservation's account is the oldest known reference to the ShardSpiked. Like many of their kind, they originated on Scadrial, in the town of Tyrian Falls. And it was on Scadrial that they were present when Preservation and Ruin clashed, and Harmony was formed. But a piece of power escaped, and entered the Spiked, immortalizing them.

In the years since, they spread throughout the Cosmere, lying in wait. Until now. With Harmony's death and the return of the dyad, the ShardSpiked have come for us in Silverlight.

It is to combat this threat that I have called you. The greatest Worldhoppers in the Cosmere. Now, scattered throughout the stars. Some of you are monsters. Some of you are monster-killers. And some of you wield the power to destroy the stars themselves.

GM WRITEUP END

After millennia of struggle, Ruin could wait no longer. He destroyed Scadrial, simply breaking apart its component molecules. In a moment, the planet was dust floating in space. But Ruin was left open to an attack. Preservation brought his power to bear, then paused. Ruin had left the people of Scadrial alive. For an instant, a time insignificant to all but a Shard, they lived. And so Ruin gave Preservation a choice. Preserve his people, or attack Ruin. And that was no choice at all. 

The people formerly of Scadrial found themselves scattered throughout the Cosmere. Cries of surprise, disbelief, anger, and a hundred more emotions came from the displaced people. But one emotion was expressed by only one person.

Tin Capone smiled as he surveyed his new location. It had been difficult to infiltrate the very writeup of the Pseudogame itself. It had required an act of unbelievable power. And Ruin had provided just such an act.

He dusted off his sleeves and began walking. 

~ 

How had Tin Capone gotten into his writeup? The Unknown GM thought. He quickly began pressing backspace, but the key stopped working after he deleted walking. 

It now read “He dusted off his sleeves and” but even as the Unknown GM read the words, without touching his keyboard, new words appeared.

~

He dusted off his sleeves and looked up. “He's trying to delete me. The gall. Hit him, TUC.”

~

The Unknown GM's eyes widened for a moment as his screen went blank. He refreshed the page, and words popped up. He read for a moment, stunned. 

“Sorry, but you can no longer access this server. 

Reason: Banned by Head Admin The Unknown Character.”

Yeah…sorry Coder

[Myst He/Him]

Okay. @|TJ| sorry, I was asleep. I didn’t have anything against Coder, if you look at the thread, I was trying to get us off of him. But an exe is better than no exe, so I had my vote on him.

Also: I told you so everyone

Time to react to this cycle now.

Fallen dying just means they’re going after inactive people as to not share any information. So all we can really take from that is in the future be suspicious of any inactive person who isn’t dying(assuming the game lasts that long for it to come up)

That's not really that much to go on... Because people can still post in the thread after death, the melims will likely pick people who are wrong and not likely to be that much of a threat when given a hard clear.

I forgot, can people post in the thread if they're dead in both games?

Only in the meta game, if you die in the pseudo game you can’t post or get PMs during its cycles

[Hoid Slayer He/Him]

Okay so official statement quickly

I said Coder’s death would give us info, and it did

I was hoping the info would be different, but oh well, this is what we’ve got

There is a third Coinshot running around somewhere, and they are almost certainly meta-elim or just absurdly sniped Xino

That, however, is an issue to be dealt with in the meta-game

What we need to think about before proceeding with anything is what is our current stance on the proceedings of the pseudo-game, namely that we already have an elim dead

[Myst He/Him]

I feel like it’s not. Assuming the coinshot is meta Elim that means they are going to snipe another pseudo Elim tonight, I feel like that’s very much a now problem

Well yes that’s true, sorry, I phrased it wrong

I meant hunting meta-elims in general is for the metagame

[Myst He/Him]

Anyway, another thing to note is that Striker’s vote was moved off of Hoid

Edited May 31 by Myst
Spag

[Araris Valerian he/him]

Maybe we should just start by exeing the folks we think are meta-elims. If they can’t participate in the pseudogame then there is a lower chance they succeed in their bet, regardless of what said bet is.

I’m happy to vote for either Qian or Myst, the latter of whom was entirely unwilling to propose any alternatives to Coder during the previous Day.

So uhhhh….are you intentionally lying about what happened or just confused? A vote was moved from you to Hoid.

That's true...I hesitantly agree, although I think we should spend more time trying to find out what the actual bet is. And Myst, being at least somewhat suspicious, feels like best choice. I however can't shake the feeling that we're missing something.

Now that I'm back home and able to actually look at the votes/posts I can see why. I would like to say I was unsure about how the spreadsheet actually worked with the first/second/third vote. I also wasn't trying to echo Striker (and you can see the final result was different), as I believe he submitted his votes later than mine (tbh, I can't remember whether they weren't there or I didn't really digest the information).

[Myst He/Him]

Okay. Yeah, it was moved off of me to Hoid. I am a little confused because why me. First Striker was moved(which may or may not have prevented me from going out, depending on whether Striker’s the lurker or not) and either Cad or Araris’s vote was not counted. So… huh, there’s not a role that could do that… even with Striker’s vote being moved I should have 2

I don’t Remember Cad voting me(I’ll go check, oh I see I confused him with striker) but this is weird, I just checked the rules and there’s not a role that makes someone’s vote not count, it just moves it, like we saw with striker. I’m very confused. That said, if this was the meta Elims, I think that means you should flip me in the meta game(since that has the least amount of consequences for dying) 

Obviously I don’t want to die here, but ya know, it’s just me 

edit: I think I misunderstood something else I think. I really need to reread what happened. Gimme a sec I’ll be back and hopefully more coherent 

edit 2: oh, I see, I once again confused Cad with Striker. Striker voted Hoid and Cad voted me and then a vote was moved from me to Hoid

Oh, okay. That does mean half my above post is essentially wrong though. I am not in the mindset right now, wow

This is an uncomfortably fast train

Y'all are kinda tunnelling

Araris you've seemed a bit suspicious to me

Thread Controller: You have a keen intellect and, admittedly, too much time on your hands. You can convince anyone to listen to you, even outside of the Pseudogame. You can move a Metagame vote.

I do see you noticed that a vote was moved, but here's the role for anyone curious.

43 minutes ago, Myst said:

I wouldn't be too worried. It's relatively early in the cycle and I suspect a counter train will form. I mostly want to a) exe someone and b) try and pressure you to reveal more (if you are elim)

I agree, but there's still a decent amount of time remaining in the cycle, and I doubt it will last.

I'd love to agree (considering how he seems sus of me), but I don't really see anything that is that suspicious about him.

What do you mean by tunneling? Usually that term means being fixated on someone so much that you are ignoring evidence.

[StrikerEZ he/him]

Yeah this kind of seems like Mippo just using a word without fully getting the meaning. Which is fair. There’s lots of confusing SE lingo. But yeah, this isn’t tunneling, at least not yet. It could turn into that if we start really getting into the argument and Araris just refuses to consider other viewpoints. But so far Araris has posted like…twice? Not really much room for him to be ignoring evidence.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

I would actually say that the votes on Myst are a pretty natural development from the previous cycle. @___, based on the previous cycle, are you surprised that folks are voting for Myst? And do you have any particular reasoning for singling me out from among the folks voting for Myst?

[Hoid Slayer He/Him]

Alright guys I'm bored with some free time so here we go for an analysis

*cracks knuckles*

Been a while since I did this

Evinir held the squab cupped in his hands, the size of a large acorn. The little thing trembled against his skin, its blue and yellow coat shimmering and shivering to reveal glimpses of pink skin. It had fallen from its nest, and would die if left alone. Evinir had heard its screeches from his mountain path, and traveled through the woods for five minutes to find it. He whispered to it, then slowly pulled a bowl of peas from his bag. They were soft, and the little bird consumed them ravenously. Then, Evinir waited, still crouching, as the baby shuffled and slowly relaxed in his hands, before shutting its eyes. He smiled.

Evinir took the squab with him. He carried it in his hands, unsure of what he was going to do with it. But his many years had taught him how cruel the world could be to a solitary soul. How cruel death was to the innocent.

At last, Evinir arrived at the cave that was his destination. Lighting a torch, he surveyed it, then lit sconces that lined its walls. There was scripture on the walls. Drawings, vignettes of men stabbing others. The Spiked had been here, once. Perhaps this place held answers. He would need to study it. But not now. No, not now. Evinir placed the bird carefully on one end of a stone slab, atop a makeshift nest he had made, and as the squab slept, he pulled out his spanreed and, by the torchlight, wrote.

PSEUDO-CYCLE ONE SUMMARY:

Striker pokes CadCom

Verdance and Mippo are present

Coco wants to talk about the elim bet

I poke Araris

Myst thinks the m-elims bet on a p-village win

TJ likes Striker, votes Mippo for overplaying cluelessness

Myst tries to strategize everyone revealing alignments

TOW (Hopper?) votes me for not liking the above strategy

Myst says he's already changed his vote twice but neither vote was done in thread

Coco thinks elims chose village bet

Kit_Kat exists

Araris wants to chill on his porch

Coco pokes Coder

I vote Coder as well cause I'm of the belief that poke votes are redundant and if you actually wanna pressure someone you need at least two votes

Mippo votes me for some reason

VC 10 hours before rollover:

Coder (3): Myst, Hoid, Coco

Hoid (2): Hopper, Mippo

CadCom (1): Striker

Coco (1): Qian

Qian (1): Araris

Mippo (1): TJ

Twin (1): Lettuce

@Myst why was your vote on Coder? I don't think you explained it in thread

Xino votes Coder last minute for also very weird reason

Someone said Striker also changed his vote to me last minute

PSEUDO-CYCLE ONE CONCLUSIONS

There was very little going on. We had practically no trains. The Coder train was literally two poke votes and whatever Xino did. I woulda done something about it, but I was offline for the last like 12 hours pre-rollover.

Due to Coder's now proven double innocence, I am inclined to tentatively view Striker as village for now for his vote switch.

Due to a lack of Xino action, I am very inclined to believe his killer is a meta-elim.

META-CYCLE ONE SUMMARY

Striker pokes Myst, quickly retracts it

Araris pokes Myst for unwarranted assumptions

Coco claims to know who destroyed Scadrial (!) @coco.pudding care to make any elaboration at all?

Verdance is still around doing nothing

I vote Coder

Coco follows me, votes Coder

Myst votes Coder as well, but is clear about wanting to hop onto another train

I like how much Myst is debating me here

Myst tries to suicide, but I convince him not to

Araris yaps a lot, doesn't like Qian due to pseudocycle votes

Mippo votes Coder for lowkey literally no reason

Verdance doesn't want to vote Coder cause they're friends

TJ wants to save Coder for a reason I didn't understand then but do now, sorry TJ, votes me

Striker also votes me

CadCom votes Myst, says they will explain later - @CadCom care to explain now?

Kit_Kat tries to vote for me at the end - @Kit_Kat care to explain why?

META-CYCLE ONE CONCLUSIONS

I still like Striker

I actually slightly like TJ now that I understand why he was against me

I'm getting negative vibes from Coco. I don't like how easily she backed me up on Coder

And on that note, Mippo is also weird. Mippo also voted me pseudo-cycle 1 for unclear reasons.

As for Myst - I actually like Myst a lot, partially due to private reasons I don't really want to divulge right now

PSEUDO-CYCLE TWO SUMMARY (thus far)

Araris votes Myst for not proposing any alternatives to Coder

Striker votes Myst for something vote manip related, can someone explain it to me please? Nvm I figured it out by reading more

Qian votes Myst - I don't like this, especially for all the suspicion piling on Qian recently for following other's votes

Mippo votes Araris for "tunneling" on Myst with Striker

OTHER STUFF

On another note, I just found out what a PseudoIM is, and greatly encourage any PseudoIM to reveal their knowledge at this critical point (namely, where is our missing Coinshot). Although, as Striker mentioned, that PseudoIM likely belongs to the meta-elims - which is how they were able to snipe Xino.

As for who to vote now:

I don't like all the pressure on Myst. Of the three active votes on him, however, Araris and Striker both have reasonable justifications, and I like Striker right now

That leaves Qian, and then there's also Coco who's passiveness I also don't like

I think we can all agree that Xino is probably meta-village? In that case, I propose lowkey pulling another Coder and being prepared to exe whoever we exe here in the pseudocycle in the next metacycle as well since we're meta-elim hunting and that only works if we check the results of our hunt

Alright I need a break

why was your vote on Coder? I don't think you explained it in thread

Just an fyi, for future reference for everyone else who’s seemed to miss why I voted Coder, I have explained this on page 2-3 of meta cycle one if you’d like to see there.

First off, I didn’t want to vote Coder, I ended up voting him because when I was awake there weren’t any other options. Well, Araris was voting me but Hoid got mad when I joined that. Anyways, an exe was better than no exe and we didn’t really have any other options at the time(I was asleep when people started voting Hoid) 

I had to vote because otherwise we wouldn’t have had the 3 votes needed(this was before Mippo joined the vote) I was vote number 3 and there were only 4 of us talking with Araris voting me. I didn’t want to exe Coder, I believe I straight up said we’d just be confirming him village, but it was that or no exe and I chose to vote Coder

[StrikerEZ he/him]

Crazy idea: Myst and Hoid team
