You and me can sit in the corner and admire the Roleplay without participating (without participating in the Roleplay, you do have to play the game or bad things will happen)

Are kills differentiated? Like between highguard/elim, will we know which was which

This will be answered once it has been fully considered. (I also need to figure out if blocked kills are announced or not.

It's an island nation, but you're stuck in a cramped hidden room talking to bureaucrats instead of enjoying saltwater taffy on the pier. That's all the setting you need to know.

Are you signing up?)

Actually, @Archer are you signing up? I wasn't quite certain from your post.

Dvalk let out a sigh of relief as he settled back into this chair. “Thank you, my friend. My name is Dvalk, and I remember Vitiv. We once had a nasty run in with an injured whitespine during a trip many years ago, blustering thing damaged the cargo, and nearly got us killed! Saved Vitiv’s life, and he spent so long trying to repay me, but I wouldn’t let him, didn’t feel right to have a friend groveling at my feet… but you don’t care much do you? My apologies, I find I tend to ramble in my old age. Maybe another time I can finish the story, if you wish.”

"Dvalk! Yes, of course." Tshanin tried to sound as if he knew all about the man but his face, and to tell the truth, he did feel like a hint of a memory was returning to him from Vitiv's tales. "Vitiv spoke of you in high esteem. It is a story I am sure I would enjoy to hear someday. But for now, before this begins..." Tshanin looked around, took a second to amass his confidence, then turned back to Dvalk and attempted to give him a sly grin.

"Let's roll those dice."

Ok. Standard would be that protected is announced but roleblocked isn’t, but I don’t remember which it is that the ruleset has

• If your Loyalty is Positive, you may choose a player who received at least 2 votes for their execution but survived. That player is not eligible to be voted on during the next cycle. A player may not be targeted by Parliamentarians more than once in the game. Parliamentarians may not self target

for this Parliamentarian action, will it be announced that votes on this player won't count?

14. @Mint11 as Chise Hatori, who won her seat on the council after being sold to an ancient Artifabrian as a slave.

okay well if Jo already did some of my work for me, I'll give it a go

Chise stood a safe distance back from the tide. She wished she could pretend that all was as it seemed on the Council, but the signs were there. Odium's power was growing. Secrets were a nasty business. She looked at the sea with a desperate ache to sail somewhere far away. She had never been able to bring herself to travel it again. Not after the trip that brought her to the island.

She could handle an ocean of blood but not an ocean of water. Chise could not explain it herself. Why was killing so much simpler than getting on a boat? Killing her old master was a quick, mechanical thing.

Keeping the secret, year over year, day over day, moment over moment, was hard.

 

also glad someone recognized chise from my pfp

“Truly, you worked with Vitiv. He could never resist the chance for a game.” 
Dvalk pulled out a single intricate 16 sided die, carved from diamonds. “This is my prized die,” he was glowing as much as the die as he said it “I once won a chance to speak with the Azish emperor with this!”

Dvalk always left out the fact that the dice roll that won him that opportunity had more to do with the essay he submitted, but essays never did make a good story so he always left that bit out. Never sacrifice a good story for the sake of a little truth, as his father had always told him.

Forged by the Sea: the Triumphs and Failures of Thaylenah's Greatest Pirate, by Shemyn the Accused

Page 46

It hadn't been long with Vorlin in the crew before his rise. From a naive stance, it made sense. He was smart, nimble, quick-witted, and capable. Looking back, I should have seen the signs. Barst, my loyal second, fell in a raid, ran through in the back. I thought it was just a vengeful guard at the time, and thought nothing more of it. Once again, hindsight is brutal, and often vicious. It seems clear now, who the true culprit is.

Nevertheless, Vorlin was selected as second. It was a risky decision, but to my young mind, worth it. He was popular with the crew, even as a relative newcomer, and he knew the sea better than anyone. Maybe almost as well as me.

You see, me and him are cut from the same cloth. We are both men of ruthless ambition, but we are practical, we know our limits, and we understand the sea. In that way, we are the most dangerous men alive.

'To the pain' means that the first thing you lose will be your keyboard below the fingers. Then your microphone in the headphones, next your voice-to-text... The next thing you lose will be your shard account, followed by your email. [...] Your internet connection you keep, and I'll tell you why: so that every cry of every mocking eliminator at seeing your futile efforts will be yours to cherish; every gambit that fails at your approach; every teammate who cries out, 'Dear Chaos! How bad is that thing [at solving]?' will ping in your perfect connection. That is what 'to the pain' means; it means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery, forever.

Honestly crazy quote though: “Restrictive enough to make you hate the Government, but just liberal enough to let you violently do something about it” 

——————

Fickle laughed, “True enough, there’s a reason I stayed away from the war camps. Not sure if I agree with you on the Azish, they can be rather agreeable as long as you can convince them the documents you’re handing them are standard practice” he smiled at the memory, “if you can do that you can get them to do most anything”

Yes, The Parliamentarian's Actions will always be announced at the beginning of the Day Turn. There won't be any surprises in that fashion.
