I think what rubs me the wrong way about it is the sentence "because [coder is] busy"

Like, he (edit: coder) just popped on and said nothing of the sort, so where are you (edit: grubby) getting that ?

I pulled my vote from him because he wasn’t responding. I figured it would be better to place pressure on someone more active. In my first draft, Coder hadn’t posted yet, so I just assumed he was busy. That word carried over ig.

In fact, I'll come forward and say that I have a preexisting item that I can use to deal with the favor today.

I’ll be part of this. I have a way to gain favor, and am using it.

[Mystic He/Him]

Illwei really is right about how this is not the time.

Rollover is in less than 2 hours, like, go ahead and use it, but like, if we’re gonna coordinate we need to be doing that earlier 

[Illwei]

Also sorry for another post, meant to out in as edits but then people posted!

But where exactly do I keep seeing the post where myst says we can ask the thief nicely not to steak from us

Because thats just. Idk if its funny, or....

Anyways ill eventually wanna hear from whoever said myst felt v- tj? Because I have the opposite opinion but can be swayed if they say the right words.

I was saying we should like, offer them other rare items, in exchange but pretty much yeah, ask nicely. Because it’s a lot better if we have the letters and agreements(side note, I find it interesting that Qian didn’t bring up letters when we were talking(letters aren’t useful to the mafia, Agreements are)) than an expertise book(IMO. There are other ways to get expertise) so depending on how nice the Thief is, we could

So sort of both

It is also a funny concept of just asking them to be nice to us

edit: I should mention that if we did do this, depending on how, since we don’t know who is/if there is the Thief, we could be giving stuff to the Elims.

But yes, I might be tunneling a bit. It’s a fault of mine(just ask Coco)

Can confirm lol

Struggling to catch up a bit but I’m not loving that TUC is winning the vote right now even though I’m seeing a lot of people saying they have village lean on him. Can somebody explain what’s going on there?

[Ascended Grubberfly He/Him]

So, I got no idea on who to vote for. There’s currently a 4 way tie, but I’m reconsidering my TUC vote. However, I don’t know who else to vote.

another new VC

Qian (2): Hoid, Myst

Wahr (2): TJ, Illwei

TJ (1): Hopper

TUC (2): Grub, Qian 

Hoid (2): Mint, Wahr

I mean, I’d like for you to vote Qian, but I doubt you’ll do that, for now, here’s a post so you can change your vote if you so choose.

[Qianweilian He/him]

It looks like the TUC train is dying, so I'm going to switch to Wahr, for the purposes of self preservation and the fact that I don't think Hoid is elim, mostly based on vibes. I'm also beginning to trust Illwei a bit, so there's that as well. Also, I can take responsibility for one favor this cycle, to avoid the risk of a roleblock.

It's partially because I forgot about them, and partially because that although letters are more beneficial, agreements are more important to not have elims get.

Edit: Ninja'd by Myst.

Generally, if you make another post to change your vote, it's not nearly as frowned upon as in the rest of the forum.

The Thief isn’t Elim though?

Also I’m starting to get worried that we’re using all our favor. That’s 3 people who have said they would, 2 hours before rollover

Don’t we want to make sure there’s a couple people doing it though? Otherwise an elim could day they’ll do it and then just not and we’re already on one rebuke.

Oh, I didn't see Grub saying that, should I not?

Don't we start with no rebukes? Or am I misunderstanding your comment?

We start with none, yes. I think you’re just misunderstanding. Sorry if my wording wasn't great. I’m saying if an elim says they will add favor and then doesn’t, and they’re the only one “doing” that, we would end up with a rebuke. And we don’t want that especially not in the first round. 

[Illwei]

Tuo is using his and is gone already. So I would say one of you at the least shouldnt use yours. Maybe pm to decide if you want to do that, or whatnot

Edit

Or just say it in thread, idk!

Rollover is in 25 minutes. 

Given how laggy the site has been today, you might want to leave some buffer time for last minute posts and orders. 

For administrative purposes, I'm going to start responding in GM PMs with what I have as your action/bonus action orders.

I’ve already got it in, so you can save the item for next time.

If you've noticed, he is no longer in thread. So of he responds great, if he doesnt then maybe you should be the one to retract.

Archer just PM’d me, so it may be a bit late.

[Illwei]

You can change it up to the deadline unless im mistaken btw, not that im saying yoi have to but for the future AFAIK you can change it to the deadline unless stated otherwise. 

His responding is confirming, im sure. 

[Archer he/him]

You can change your orders until rollover, don't worry about me boss

This round is now closed. Please stop PMing, posting, or editing posts. Rollover will take at least an hour. 

An Azish mutiny was an orderly affair. 

Captain Ado rolled a garnet chip from finger to finger. “Come at me then. I’m ready ta meet the santhids.”

Their crew, hastily hired for the voyage, conferred in whispers. “We’re sorry, was the paperwork unclear?”

Ado crushed the sphere in their hand. The stormlight flitted away into the night. “I got the gist. You want me gone.”

Jawick, the ship’s cook, handed Ado more papers and a new sphere to read by. “This merely conveys our intent to strike. We will of course continue to work during the notice period.”

Ado threw the sphere into the ocean. “You’ve got me over a barrel here.”

“We understand the imposition. Siksi will recuse themselves from negotiations to assist you with the rebuttal forms.” 

Ado’s hand was bleeding. 

“You can still re-apply for the position. Your essay will be sent to our proctors via spanreed. Would you like some bandages for that?” 

Seeing where this was headed, Ado launched themself overboard. 

[Ascended Grubberfly He/Him]

Gah! Qianweilian is even here now!

I think it’s too late. Yeah, next time, let’s coordinate sooner.

Wilson was talking in the discord, there seems to be a significant uptake in bots on the site.
