LG112 - Metacycle Five: AfterPseudo

The servers flickered. Every page refreshed in unison.

The Unknown GM was back. When had that happened?

The Anniversary Game was over. Already, every player felt a hole in their lives where that game had once been.

But more importantly, they waited anxiously. They wanted to know if they had won. And more importantly, if SE had won.

The Shard was still buffering. As every one of them clicked to go to the new post, it wouldn't load.

Then, the page did load. But it was no longer an ordinary page.

The back end code was revealed, templates and placeholders were all that was left. Then the templates and placeholders were replaced, not with the Shard that everyone was so used to, but with a single phrase.

THE k01055 COME

~

The Unknown Player clicked refresh for what was probably the fiftieth time. Stupid internet. The page flashed. He saw the message, and dread filled him.

The k01055 were coming. They had lost.

The page loaded. 

He had won the Anniversary Game. But at what cost?

~

Star was killed by a Coinshot! They were an Elim Tineye. 

Lettuce was executed! They were an Elim Vanilla.

Vote Count:

Mippo (1): Coco

Lettuce (3): Araris, Qianweilian, Divergent

This cycle will end on Tuesday the 16th of June at 11:00 AM Central Time, there will no longer be a Pseudogame Cycle. This is essentially an MR now.

Now, the moment you've all been waiting for.

~

The Unknown Deity flipped a coin. It hung in the air for an unnaturally long time. 

“Heads or tails?” He asked the Unseen Deity.

“Heads.”

The coin clattered to the ground. It was on tails.

“Well, that's unfortunate.”

~

The Roleplay Characters have won the Bet!

They now have a single conversion that they can use to make an SE Player into a Roleplay Character. Trust no one.

[Qianweilian He/him]

Sorry Lettuce. I guess I was wrong. I don't really love Divergent's switch from mippo to lettuce two hours before rollover though.

[StrikerEZ he/him]

Huh. Well. That was unfortunate.

Qianweilian.

[Stardust She/Her]

Well, I think it's safe to say whoever killed me is Meta Elim, so if anyone knows a coinshot, they should say something. 

I'll add all my thoughts later, I don't have the time right now though. 

[Myst He/Him]

Alright, I think we should still exe Coco, and then be careful to make sure no one suddenly changes their minds randomly. Remember, they don’t have to use their conversion immediately so they might hang on to it for a bit 

Also my bad

[Hoid Slayer He/Him]

Who killed Star

And how quickly can we kill them

Wait lemme do some solving real real quick

There are two PseudoGMs

My guy made me and TJ Coinshots

Xino and Myst started out as Coinshots

That means the other guy (Verdance) likely made Coco, Coder, and Star Coinshots

This should be easy

I mean, what is Coco even still doing alive

M-Cycle 1: 

X pseudo-GM -> Changes TJ's role to Tineye
Verdance -> Nothing

M-Cycle 2:

X pseudo-GM -> Changes Hoid Slayer's role to Coinshot
Verdance -> Changes Coco's role to Coinshot

M-Cycle 3: 

X pseudo-GM -> Changes TJ's role to Coinshot
Verdance -> Nothing

M-Cycle 4: 

Verdance -> Changes someone's to Coinshot

 

I believe the way this has gone is - they've been cautious at the start, not converting at first to check if there was a pseudo-IM, then going ahead with it when they though there isn't one, then again NOT converting in the cycle they killed me because I could see who was getting converted and then converted someone again after I died to kill off Star. 

I believe Coco is evil along with a mole from the pseduo-elim doc.

I think we can say Star is not that mole(she may be converted in the future but she’s not right now)

Since I'm only alive in the Psuedo-game, can I still talk in the Meta-game when the Psuedo is over?

Yes, you can, you just cant Vote or use Actions

@The Unknown Medallion for the purposes of PMs, are folks still considered "alive" in the pseudogame even after it has ended?

We have 12 players, and if the same numbers were used across games, 4 meta-elims left. With a conversion, we are really at 7-5, which means we're kinda hosed. We would need perfect executions every turn for the remainder of the game, which seems hard enough without a conversion taking place.

@Through the Living Hopper Did you ever provide a list of the folks you scanned? At the very least, no more than one person from that list can be elim post-conversion.

I'm going to tentatively disagree on Divergent, or at least on his vote switch being alignment indicative. I think the majority of vocal folks wanted to end the pspeudogame sooner rather than later, and it wouldn't make much sense for an elim to out themselves to achieve that inevitable end. Not to mention that it's likely there was enough investiture floating around to do a vote manip without switching votes in the thread.

I'm currently fine with the coco exe, since I think there are multiple lines of evidence that support her as an elim. After that, I'd say I'm somewhat convinced Hoid is elim as well. That would fit as the pseudo-elim mole.

Qianweilian.

I would like to point out that I was the first to vote for Lettuce, and I adequately explained my point. I, for one, am suspicious of @Divergent among the lettuce voters. switched from mippo to lettuce really soon before rollover, and, if I were elim (which I'm not of course), I would have no guarantee that lettuce would've been exed. (Especially so early in the morning for me)

I doubt anyone will unfortunately, as the elims killed TJ pretty soon after he revealed he was pseudo IM. If there is another one, they're probably elim.

So, yes, I agree. However, I would avoid using "conversion" to mean pseudo GM action as we have an actual conversion in play.

For the mole, I doubt it was Star, for obvious reasons, TJ, because you're hard cleared, or Xino, as he's not really been active. That leaves Slayerman and Lettuce. Of those two, I'd lean towards Hoid being the mole.

I agree Coco is evil.

Honestly, I might lean towards 3 elims left. The pseudogame had the issue of coinshots opening the possibility of an extremely quick end (and probably at least one melim was a coinshot). Assuming TUM predicted that, I think an extra pseudoelim is reasonable. So, I would like to think we have hope. This, combined with the conversion, would put us at 8-4, which is a much better matchup. (although still not great)

I mean, that could be true ig. I'm not supposed jazzed about it either though. Probably, at least, worth exeing Hoid or coco first though.

She’d just use the Elim NK to kill herself

edit: also she didn’t flip coinshot, so I highly doubt she’s meta elim.

I think the pseudo elim mole is Xino. So:

Xino, Hoid, TJ, Star, and lettuce. 

we can clear TJ, Star, and Lettuce as the Elim mole. And I don’t think it’s Hoid, so that leaves Xino

Didn’t flip as a coinshot.

Speaking of Coinshots, the only person who could be said coinshot is Qian, Dive, and Mippo btw

The mole and the Coinshot can definitely be 2 separate people.

True, but again. The Elim NK wasn’t used, and they could’ve used Star or Lettuce to kill themselves instead(and just say they were convinced by my reasoning) but that didn’t happen, so I’m clearing them

[|TJ| he/him]

edit: but yes, leaning Qian as the Coinshot over Diver over Mippo

Ehhh, it would be very obvious and suspicious, and the reasoning you gave (if they said they were convinced by your reasoning) would be v v tame

They had an evil Coinshot who was hidden. Why wouldn't they use that over revealing their hand by killing themselves?

Why would they reveal they have an Elim coinshot?

We already knew there was a mole. They gave us extra information for no reason.

[|TJ| he/him]

Just checked the elim doc for the first time after I died. 

Star said they have something else to do and asked if Lettuce could submit the kill. 

And I've just realised, I don't think Lettuce said anything in the doc after C1. Like, C1 is the last time they spoke in the doc.
