LG112 - Metacycle Ten: The Final Day

It was a deadlock. They traded blows every time the Shard came online. It was simply a matter of who would run out of members first.

~

The cycle was nearly at an end. It looked set to be another boring one. A flurry of posts came in.

The Unknown Diety gasped.

“Oh. My. God.”

“Yes?” Said The Unseen Deity “This one got Interesting, although not what I originally hoped for, I somewhat like where things are going

~

Kit Kat has died! They were an SE Player Thread Controller 

Xino has been executed! They were a Roleplay Character Retiree.

Vote Count:

Xino (3): Araris, Dive, Hoid

Kit Kat (1): Xino

This cycle will end on Friday the 26th of June at 11:00 AM Central Time. 

Players:

Well, based on those results I’d say it’s pretty obvious that Hoid Slayer is the convert.

I disagree for obvious reasons

Chat, reread the end of the last cycle, I changed my vote to Xino immediately before rollover when I coulda left it as a tie and won if I was the Convert

The Kit Kat vote I started was a ploy to try to get you or Dive, whichever was elim, to join at the last minute, upon which I would switch my vote to Xino and the Convert would have revealed themselves

Araris, despite what I said yesterday, I feel inclined to trust you now since you coulda just backed me up when it was just me and you

The Convert is Dive

…

I am also in agreement with shortening the cycle

…

I’m at the beach, will RP later

So, completely unrelated to everything going on:

Yall should trust me more

I managed to hit both a meta and pseudo Elim C1 with a coinshot kill.

I am incredibly proud of myself for that

That is a valid point. I’m not sure that tying the vote like that would be been a certain win for you though. Kit Kat had vote manip, and you have no way of knowing if Divergent or I also have some. Also, Kit Kat could herself gotten on at the and of the cycle like she has in previous turns.

I’m not sure why e!Divergent would not just join you in voting on me though. That seems like it would have won him the game as well.

I trusted you bruh

You were pretty wrong though about the meta-elim bet

I’m not keeping track of roles at this point

I doubt Kit Kat was around to use her vote manip

I’m not sure either, but it’s him or you.

I have to assume Dive just never read the full thread and didn’t process my analysis

He did say he would come back to look at it in depth and never did

If there’s no way to convince you, then you’re gonna have to choose for yourself what you think I would do, and I’ll have to hope Divergent sees differently

Except if I’m right, Duve will just vote with you to kill me and end this, so you’re the only one I need to convince

Tough situation this is

Yeah, I’ll see what Divergence has to say for himself. I’m not 100% settled on you as the last elim, but I’m definitely leaning significantly in that direction.

Out of curiosity, how does it feel to write in the third person?

@Hoid Slayer, clarification, I meant writing yourself in the third person, not in general.

This drama is delicious. It's always fun to see games go to such a low amount of manpower. Good luck, you know who you are!

It not me

 

Why it's not me

1. Although I haven't been very active, I have been able to post AND vote every single cycle that I was alive. I would not have missed a kill nor would I have reason to benefit from doing that

2. I do not think the elims benefit from recruiting me. Outside of the first two or three cycles, I haven't been active enough to exert any influence over the votes and have mostly been listening to what others proposed should be the correct vote. They would much rather recruit someone who has more sway

3. I did try to make an effort to get the meta elims out post Pseudo Cycle?

Here is me saying we should vote Xino four cycles ago

Here is me trying to reconsider that Star might not be the right vote

Although unsuccessful, I have been trying to help out with finding the meta elims

 

It is between the two of you and I'm unsure not which it is. Hoid I could see since he seems like he could be closer to the people in the elim group? Especially that he started off as a pseudo elim as well. Araris I could also see since he has had a lot of sway over the votes and had a lot of trust built from getting out elims before the convert would happen

Also Hoid, yes I was not able to read what you said, but I was already leaning voting Xino regardless since I was on that train of thought several cycles ago and by process of elimination, once we've kept axing everyone in the pseudo elim group, it made even more sense for it to be Xino

@Through the living Wahr @The Unknown Medallion could we shorten the cycle to 24 hours if Hoid and Divergent agree? I’m not sure that we have 48 hours of things to discuss here.

I am okay with shortening it to 24 hrs, but since idk if either of you will be back tonight, might be better to make it 36 hrs instead, so I can have time to hear out both of you and give time for Hoid /Araris to respond to my post

If I had to guess, just the fact that you’re actually active, good, and not Araris (who was the obvious choice) oughta do it

Pre-Conversion

You were likely converted at the start of Meta-Cycle 8

So still Pre-Conversion

Exactly why e!you you would see his exe as inevitable and vote him because of it

Dive, though I would like to kill you more than anything, I will vote for Araris if I must if you will back me up on it because however low I see the chances of him being evil they are certainly higher than the chances I see of me being evil

…

If rollover stands as it is (in thirteen hours), I’ll be shopping for the last stretch before it (which is suboptimal)

I am happy I found the time to write a good chunk of Aftermath RP earlier this evening though, so that’s a weight off my shoulders

This is false. We know the latest the conversion could have happened is the cycle where we exed Qian (metacycle 6), since xino was inactive for metacycles 7 and 8, but there was a NK on metacycle 8. And there wasn't one on metacycle 7. So whoever the convert is, they + xino didn't send in a kill on metacycle 7.

1. The three of us have all been active, so that doesn't help sort things out here
2. If I had been an original elim, the consideration for converting you would be a stealth thing, rather than thread control. The elims were pretty exposed after the pseudogame ended (coco+Qian+mole), so they could have just been concerned with survival
3. You could have been converted after going after xino

That's mostly to say that you don't have a foolproof alibi. The main thing in your favor, at least in my eyes, is that you voted for xino pretty easily last cycle, in contrast with Hoid, who was trying to get me killed all day against solid evidence and without any good reasoning of his own.

Sorry

That was a genuine mistake of mine

Thank you Araris for the calm clarity

The Shard remained.

Though that didn't bring Hoid much relief, it did bring him hope.

Of course, both Araris and Dive were against him here, so he didn't know how much he could believe that hope.

For now, however, he was concerned with something else. Reading.

When he had awoken to find the truth about Xino, he had also found a new PM in his inbox. The sender of this one was clear.

TAUPE GECKO.

Why the roleplay characters had sent him a message, he didn't know. But curious nonetheless, he had opened it. Contained in it were nothing but links. They led to posts. His posts. Hoid read:

On 4/16/2025 at 7:50 PM, Hoid Slayer said:

The clock was the first to break the silence.

Evinir felt the urge to bury his head in his hands, but this time, he resisted. He had shoved his emotions aside since his previous tirade. Now, he felt… nothing. Only coldness.

The mystery was like a game of Colorchess. The Assembly, the Followers. Starkeeper, the Priest. Evinir had spoken in private to many of the pieces. His move was made. All he could do was wait.

Evinir was not usually one to pray. But in this moment, in that room, alone with Elydir, a man he had bet his entire plot on, he prayed.

The silence grew between the two diplomats. Evinir felt like something should break it. Come in, and snap the tension, revealing all the events of the past week to be a dream. A trick. Anything but what they were. Painfully, irrevocably real.

Evinir knew he might not last past this day. The old him would have run away long ago, fleeing to a neighboring nation. But he knew that if the plan he had so carefully put into place had any chance of succeeding, he had to stay. Even if that meant greeting death itself with open arms.

The clock ticked again, and Evinir didn’t flinch as the door slammed open. A pair of servants rushed past, then left them alone again. The night grew, nearing its climax. And Evinir waited.

He fingered the knife hidden in the coils of his cloak. Alone in this room with a man he was betting his life on, he knew they would not both make it out alive. Perhaps neither of them would. It would all be over soon.

The clock struck again. By now, the moon was high in the sky. Yes, it would all be over very, very soon.

”Goodbye, Elydir.”

Hoid felt the dampness again on his cheek.

Again, he shut his computer.

Unlike Evinir, Hoid had no master plot. He felt like something should come in, disrupt the shadowless light in the guest bedroom. Snap the tension, revealing all the events of the past week to be a dream. A trick.

Anything other than what they were.

Painfully, irrevocably real.

And all of a sudden, the full weight of what was happening fell on him.

These beings were alive. Thoughts, turned into words, become now capable of thought and writing of their own. The implications... he couldn't even think of the implications. As he lay on the bed, Hoid began to see a new angle to the whole situation. An angle that could, perhaps, grant him some measure of relief. And some measure of fear as well.

Perhaps there was something glorious in what they had done.

It was the only consolation he could find.

He thought again of the tab that remained open next to the Shard on his computer, the document, carefully prepared. It would indeed all be over very, very soon.

"Goodbye, Evinir."

Ohh and yeah I do not see why the elims would have withheld their conversion for that long either

And yup, if I were elim with Xino, I could have won last cycle instead of trying to get to an F3

I think it is just Hoid Slayer. I do not see it much of a possibility either for Araris to go after Xino when the game is that close to being in his hands
