LG112 - Metacycle Six: I'm Not Lagging, You're Lagging

LG112 - Metacycle Six: I'm Not Lagging, You're Lagging 

The Shard kept going offline. They'd get it running long enough to do a little investigating, then the Roleplay Characters would take it down again. Luckily, it seemed like the Roleplay Characters were frozen while the site was down.

The mods decided to make a plan.

“When the site next comes on, we need to just start banning like crazy.”

“Who do we even ban? We only have so many shots, we can't waste them on real Sharders.”

Everyone was silent, thinking.

Then one person stepped forward. “We'll only do one shot. We'll hold a vote, whoever has the most votes, we ban.”

Someone started a poll. Votes came in.

“Everyone vote?” Everyone reacted with a thumbs up.

The Unknown Character clicked reveal result.

Coco.pudding 

He typed the command, and as soon as the site came online, he pasted it.

/ban @coco.pudding

~

Coco was executed! They were PseudoIM Roleplay Character

Vote Count:

Coco (6): Slayerman, Araris, Star, Striker, Dive

Slayerman (1): Qian

This cycle will end on Thursday the 16th of June at 11:00 AM Central Time.

Yip yip hooray

[Araris Valerian he/him]

Off the top of my head I’m thinking we exe in Kit Kat/Lettuce/xino today. I’ll need to go back and see if anything from any of them looks suspicious, but Kit Kat stood out with the Verdance thing I think.

[|TJ| he/him]

No kill means that there was a conversion this cycle. Thought there was a chance they might delay it but it appears not. 

I think we should go after the potential Coinshot today and I think that is Qianwellian

ed1t: I will note that giving the elims a pseudoGM AND a starting Coinshot in Xino is also a tad too OP, I might be leaning village by that. And by the fact that they did not use their kill.

Why does no kill mean there was a conversion? Back when I was asking for clarifications, the conversion didn’t take an action, which I’d assume means it doesn’t conflict with the NK. @The Unknown Medallion could you confirm? If this is right, I’d assume that the Elims are inactive to a large degree (not really new info, TBH).

Coco was already dead in the pseudogame, right?

So yeah, Qian

Hmmm? Not sure if you understand my statement or I understand yours. 

I meant that giving them a pseudoGM in Verdance and ALSO giving them Xino who started the pseudo-game as Coinshot is a tad too OP for them. If they changed one of theirs to Coinshot in the very first cycle, they would have 2 Coinshots in the very 2nd cycle which is quite strong. 

ed1t: ahhh nvm you were making sure it couldn't be coco who shot star, got it

[Myst He/Him]

Hmmm, yeah, both a GM, and a IM is a lot. I think we should go with Qian today.

Also, to make sure we know there is a mole: Did anyone ever say anything about Star being pseudo Elim? If not then there has to be a pseudo Elim mole. Just want to check to make sure before tomorrow.

We’ve just been assuming there’s a mole and I want to make sure we have some basis for our reasoning

You are correct. The absence of the kill is irrelevant as to whether there was a conversion or not

[Araris Valerian he/him]

Can someone explain Qian to me? I feel like I missed something somewhere.

A coinshot killed Star. That Coinshot is Elim. And after cross referencing the people dead in the meta game with the people alive in the pseudo game, Qian, Mippo, and Dive are the only people who could’ve submitted the coinshot kill.

We took Mippo off because inactivity/they’d been brought up before and dismissed. And then I personally feel like Qian is more Elim than Dive is. 

[|TJ| he/him]

The Coinshot who killed Star could only have been Changed in M-cycle 4 while also being alive in P-cycle 5. The only players who fall under these criteria are Qian, Divergent and Mippo.

It's truly between Qian and Divergent - I find Qian's survival from Star's shot suspicious and feel like they've hidden on Sel the whole game. They also voted for Hoid over Coco last cycle early on when it wasn't clear who unanimous the coco vote would be. 

[|TJ| he/him]

ed1t: huh I wonder if it was just a 3-person team and either they used some PoE to narrow their options to arrive at Star being the pseudo-elim

[|TJ| he/him]

[Star, Hopper, CadCom, Divergent, Mippo, Araris] is the PoE elims would have had if we assume e!Qian. Hmm, I have no idea how they'd go about narrowing that PoE to Star. I guess there had to be a mole then.

And of the Elims: TJ, Star, Xino, Hoid, Lettuce

TJ is hard cleared, Hoid cleared because 2 GMs is way too powerful. And then Star and Lettuce because they didn’t self target. I think the Mole has to be Xino. Furthermore because Star targeted Qian. And E/E doesn’t make sense there as we’re exing Qian with that as some reasoning.

So unless pseudo Elim wants to say that they told someone Star was pseudo Elim, Xino might have to be.

Also. Remember the conversion, we’ll need to watch people who are changing their minds. Though I suppose that we’ll soon be in a situation like that QF where it was just Doc. Hmm

That’s what I was missing. Kit Kat Qian.

If we’ve figured out all the current elims then I’d guess the last one will probably just convert on the way out. Which is gonna make solving functionally impossible . But if not then they probably already used it.
