Anniversary Game: In the Re-Wake of the Koloss

[Araris Valerian he/him]

@Ash: You should really RP yourself as a ruthless character, and then it would probably come much easier. Just find a thread that someone argued with you in or someone that killed you in a previous game and make up something about why they should be killed today. If you claim to be a seeker, you probably would be believed long enough to pull of the kill. You have to have some sort of discontented feelings towards at least one of us.

Okay....I can finally get around to posting here. Been on my phone all day, and the mobile site just doesn't have the capabilities needed to quote multiple posts....

Dom: (3) Maill, Clancy, Riew, Peng

Eoladdin: (2) Maill, Ostrich, Melend, Ostrich

Satrams: (2) Wyra, Wilson

Odustren: (1) Rent

Damon: (1) Aralis

Herwynbe: (1) Karnad, Rent, Aralis, Odustren

Ostrich: (1) Wyra, Reeco

Ashette: (0) Maill, Senn, Ament

Jain: (0) Wyra

Joe: (0) Clancy

 

Sorry I haven't posted yet. I've been busy in real life. Anyways, on to discussion. I'm going to move straight to voting for Kassad. He's been very active in the thread lately, but he hasn't been active in voting for anyone. Furthermore, he's voted for himself, which makes me very suspicious of why he's trying to buy trust. It's mostly a gut feeling, but I don't think I can really trust him this game.

 

Kas was the first vote of this day...He voted even before Hero said that he wasn't voting for anyone, so...that logic doesn't hold up under scrutiny. At all. Why are you really voting for Kas? To save Hero? Is he your evil teammate?

 

Hero, in the beginning, chose not to vote for anybody. At the time, there truly was very little information to go off of. Also, casting any solid suspicion without much evidence to back you up at the very start of the game is almost a sure way to get yourself suspected as well. In fact, I did suspect Kas, if only because he was so quick to accuse. I don't see why Hero should be targeted any more than anyone else who hasn't voted.
 
Also, Hero has adamantly stated again and again that he is not a Spiked without being prompted. I don't think the Spiked would be so quick to say they aren't spiked when they aren't even being suspected, especially this early in the game. They might say so if they were confronted, but not on their own volition. That being said, I'll be extremely wary of anyone who directly claims not to be a Spiked from now on. 
 
On that note, I vote for Ostrich.  

I'm wondering why he wanted people who were "falsely accused" to contact him- almost as if he wanted to narrow down roles himself?

 

As Maill already pointed out, there are times when people claim to not be evil when they are, in fact, evil. Regardless of being prompted or not. It's actually one of the easiest ploys to do. (Which is precisely why I tend to avoid it when I'm actually evil. Too obvious). The fact that Hero's throwing that out there, without any prompt whatsoever, is interesting to me. I also find it interesting that some people are suspicious of Kas for voting for himself because he's clearly trying to gain trust, but not suspicious of Hero for doing exactly the same thing.
 

As for Ostrich. That request was, I think, more an appeal for those contacted by Eol to get in touch with him. Not necessarily trying to narrow down roles. However, I do think role reveals went on there. In fact, I know some did. And now that it looks like Eol is innocent, I'm really starting to look at some of the early people involved in that mess. Who benefits the most from something like this? The Spiked.
 

 

One thing that I am kind of surprised hasn't seen too much attention in the thread is the Wilson/Claincy strategy with decently sized group PMs. My group had a little talk about our opinions of the effectiveness of communicating like that, and I have seen several people saying that the bulk of conversation should go in the thread since the spiked work best in secrecy. One thing that I am considering is whether or not we should let everyone know who is in what group so the whole village can be a little more involved with using those PMs to the best for the whole group.

 

I'm not sure how wise it would be to reveal who is in what group. Working off the assumption that both Claincy and I are clean, to reveal that would be to let the Spiked now everyone who is in the PMs that they are not in. The exact PMs. They have a group of people as it is. But they don't know the distribution. If they have that information, they can pick people off and completely kill an entire PM group. Goodbye clean communication. Not that there's a lot of communication going on in the group PMs. Some talk a bit, some not at all. Personally, I've been talking more one-on-one lately than group...

 

Would voting for Dom be a thing to do? Or should we wait for the spiked to murder him?

 

A few people have talked about this, but I just want to say that voting for Dom is completely and entirely pointless. Not only is he a buffer if he's good, but he's also a target for the Coinshots to prove themselves, if they get in contact with someone. "If you're actually a Coinshot, kill Dom." Then we don't waste a lynch.

 

I'm going to go back and once again vote Eoladdin, as I still have my suspicions about him.

 

Could you expound on those suspicions? I thought he explained himself rather nicely, and as other people pointed out, what he did and his reasons for it don't seem like something a group of evil conspirators would condone. Beyond that, someone that I happen to trust slightly told me that before Eol started the experiment, he was in communication with this person and told them that he was going to try a "social experiment." While he didn't tell them what he was going to do, they knew to expect something. The fact that he told someone is even more indicative that he was being straight. Sure, he didn't tell me or Claincy. I don't mind. If he doesn't trust us, he doesn't trust us. Fact is, he seems good, and I know I'm not the only one who thinks that. So please, I'd like to hear your suspicions on him.

 

 

As for my vote. I've withheld it this entire cycle, going back and forth on multiple people, and not wanting to participate in any bandwagon. I thought Eol was evil. Now I don't think he is. I thought Hero was evil. I still think he might be. I'm also suspicious of Sart. And Ostrich. And Winter. And Ash, a bit. But who to vote for? I think I'll go with the person whose reasoning has been the most faulty. Satrams.

I really don't like waffling, but I guess I can't keep my vote on Eoldren in this context.

 

Honestly, it seems like everyone's reasoning is pretty shaky at this point. I suppose that a lynch would be better than nothing, but I'm not sure how to call it.

The same time the thread was started for you. 10?

That's pretty standard this early in the game. There's not enough information to have real reasoning, but it's the lynch discussions (and the lynches themselves, although with an incredibly fruitful discussion--which I wouldn't say this has been--the lynch isn't entirely necessary) that garner the information necessary for more solid reasons. I'd be worried if someone had a completely solid case against another player this early in the game, and the other player had no defense at all.

[Ashiok]

All that would mean is that a seeker found a spiked really early, and notified you. Odds of approx 2:5 assuming 1/5th eliminators and two seekers (that trust you)

I meant solid in terms of information base. Not solid in terms of role usage.

[Claincy he/him]

For the reasons that have already been outlined quite well I am retracting my vote from Dom now that he has posted.

 

As we still have a couple of hours to go, I'm going to continue doing what I've been doing for now. Macen, you haven't posted since recruitment but you were online yesterday. Care to explain why and share any insight you may have?

[WeiryWriter he/him]

Hmmm it will be useful to have a buffer going forward so I hereby rescind by vote for Dom.  Right now I've been thinking about how emphatic Hero was by saying "I am not spiked".  He could be a Villager desperate to make sure people know it, or a Spiked overcompensating, though both of those are kind of rookie moves (in my opinion as a rookie).  What if he's doing a double bluff?  If I remember correctly he's played a number of these, right? So I don't think he would draw attention to himself in that way unless it was a diversion of some sort?  Does that make sense?  He's disguising being Spiked by being the obvious choice?

 

So I vote for Hero.

[Eolhondras he/him]

As it stands then, we have 4 people each on 2 votes. Ash, Hero,  Kas and Sart.

Of those I find Sart to be the most suspicious. Saying that Kas had been active in the thread but inactive in the voting is simply wrong. He opened with a vote on Hero, and then followed it up with him about his suspicion in various posts. His activity then, is an extension on his voting early in the cycle.

 

 You also talk about him voting for himself as a method for gaining trust amongst the village, when other players have been doing exactly the same thing. Hero saying he is definitely a villager, Wilson giving reasons to trust herself and Claincey in certain PM’s. Myself with an open explanation of my actions. I could go on and on, but my point is, this game is an exercise in buying trust. The fact that you find that an appropriate reason to “move straight to voting for kassad”, I find suspicious.

 

I agree that we need a lynch to gain information and move forward in this game, so because of that and my suspicions of Sart, I will be placing my vote there.

"Draw attention to myself"??? I already had all the attention on me- just as much if not more than Eolhondras, and all because I agreed with the most sensible player and lobbied for a no-lynch strategy.

As far as it being a rookie move- well like I said this is only my 4th game- and the last game I played was several months ago- so yeah, I'm rusty, but that's besides the point.

The point is that I'm NOT spiked, and I don't want to be lynched simply for doing the best I can to help out team good. Now if you want to go ahead and lynch me, well unfortunately there is nothing I can do to stop it other than vociferously defend myself- which I've already done. But if and when I die, and you see I was telling the truth, maybe my arguments will hold a bit more weight.

Night 2: Open the Taps

 

Satrams breathed a sigh of relief when he woke up the next day to a clean tavern. For some reason, he had tossed and turned all night in the fear that some would defile it. He chalked it up to paranoia over the supposed saboteurs that were running around in the town and opened up shop.

 

It didn’t take long in the day for people to start pouring in, tracking ash everywhere and making Satrams twitch. Some of his early clientele had the red-rimmed eyes and drooping faces of people who had been up all night. Whether that was due to helping put out the inferno at the barracks or from other, more nefarious purposes, Satrams couldn’t guess. He just kept the taps open for everyone and tried to sweep away any offending dust.

 

By the time news of what had happened to Vron had made its way to the tavern, a decent portion of the town was already there. Satrams had been hesitant about letting Recco use some of his space for his so-called food, but ever since he had set up, the tavern had become the place where everyone came for a bite to eat as well and now they both made a nice little profit.

 

That also meant that it was where everyone started fighting over the events of last night as well though. It started innocently enough, with guesses and assumptions. There was even a little friendly banter between people who disagreed. All that changed when Eoladdin showed up. If Satrams hadn’t had his Coppercloud up, he would have assumed that the crazy lunatic was Rioting people! Suddenly the arguments started to turn ugly and there were threats and daggers were there used to be chuckles. Satrams just sat silently behind his bar, silently hoping that this tension would break before it erupted into chaos…. or at least that everyone would leave the tavern before then!

Eventually, what he feared would happen, happened; they asked him his opinion. Such a precarious place to be in, especially with as unruly as things had gotten.

 

“Uhhh, well, ahem! I suppose that Karnad does seem to be trying to win people over. Might just be because he’s new in town; might not. I guess we’ll have to see. Would you like another round?”

 

As the crowd went back to their arguing, Satrams heaved a sigh of relief. It wasn’t a perfect answer, but hopefully that would satisfy them and they’d leave him and his bar alone now.

 

….It didn’t. Before he knew it, they crowd seemed to trying to read so much into his answer, that he was surprised they didn’t accuse him of specifically stating that he had burned down the barracks last night too! He checked again. Yes, his copper was there, burning steadily. This wasn’t due to any emotional allomancers; this was just a frightened and confused group of people.

 

Just before the rising tempers reached their breaking point, Satrams made what he knew would be his final decision. If he couldn’t save himself, he could at least save his tavern from being pulled down around him!

 

He ran. The crowd surged after him as he bolted out of his tavern and into the street.

 

He didn’t make very far though. Captain Teys had been waiting outside, likely just waiting for the mob to break before re-establishing order.

 

Great, Satrams thought. Now I won’t be able to convince them and my bar wasn’t likely in danger anyways! Lord Ruler, help me for being a fool!

 

After the hanging, Captain Teys performed the check of Satrams himself, but he found no spikes.

 

“Alright lads,” he stated gruffly. “That’s enough for one day. Get some sleep. We still have a town to defend!”

[Kasimir he/him]

Lord Ostrich put a vote on Eoldren. He's also not recorded as a no-vote. Meta, may I clarify that your standing list is correct? And does a Seeker's nullification turn the person's vote into being recorded as a no-vote, or will they simply vanish?

If so, it appears that some vote shenanigans has happened...and on Eoldren, no less :S I don't see where else the vote may have gone to, so it isn't Rioter action that we're worried about. Of course, that doesn't mean we didn't have some weird case like a Rioter and a Soother hitting the same person, or two-Rioter action, or...

[Metacognition he/him]

Nope, just a missed vote on my part. I thought I had caught them all, but missed that one. I even went through thread twice! >.<

 

To answer your question though, If a vote is Soothed, it would show up as a "No Vote." Similar with Rioting. The vote itself will be moved, including the person who was moved (The Rioter's vote would drop off similarly to a Soothed vote). 

Edited January 5, 2015 by Metacognition

[Claincy he/him]

Well, as cold-hearted as it sounds, that was a reasonably good day 1 as day 1's go. It would have been much better if we had hit a spiked, but that's a really rare occurrence on day 1. But we did get a remarkable amount of information from the day and, again as cold-hearted as it sounds, at least we didn't lose one of the more important roles. Sorry to see you go though A Smart Guy.

 

(Pst Meta, your updated player list is missing the update )

[Kasimir he/him]

Some questions I'd like answered. Will follow them up the next morning where possible. Of all the things I'm most wary of, it'd be narrowing down on our suspect pool at the moment. At this point in time, we don't have enough to have tunnel-vision. Keep 'em fluid, as the Lord Twinborn Almighty would say!
 
1. Peng, you voted for Dom in a quick one-liner. Do you suspect him, or did you feel that using him as a buffer for Eliminator kills is pointless? What are your other suspicions? Did you have nothing to say despite the few debates going on in the day?
 
2. Wilson. When I did up my vote trackers, I recalled that I'd only really put one vote: that on Hreo, and that'd stuck, until I shifted my vote to myself. In other words, despite being active in discussion, I had low vote flexibility. Given that, I'm curious about why you considered that part of Sart's logic to be faulty?
 
3. Ostrich. This is in connection with something I felt Wilson didn't give enough weight to. She noted that Sarcomere had asked a somewhat legitimate question about exactly why Ostrich felt the need to communicate privately with all involved in Eoldren's stunt. I find myself with the same question, and I think it shouldn't be ignored. I'll take Wilson's word for it (...a dangerous sign, Kas, stop that now!!!) that role reveals happened in that clusterchull. My question is: why then take it to the PMs? Why not bring it up publicly in thread?
 
4. Newan. As far as I can tell, you've had a single post in the Day Cycle, and that was a one-liner which can be read in many ways. You asked why the dogpile on Hreo. Which could mean just about anything from the fact that you think it was a bandwagon, that no-one had any good reason to go after Hreo, or that the last few people didn't have any good reason to vote for Hreo. I find it interesting that you didn't take note of the different motivations aired for voting Hreo, nor that some were more shaky than others. The lack of specificity in your one-liner and the fact that it can be passed off as being confused about what is going on in-thread really makes me wonder. More to say, have you, Supreme Lynchmaster? Hmm?

 

People I'd especially like to hear more from and who've yet to be pushed on this: Jain, Joe (I know he's said he's busy with homework--but you've also said you generally find innocents rather than suspicious people. Who are you increasingly convinced by?), Cleo.

 

If there are people you feel I'm leaving out, feel free to shine the spotlight on them too. I'm simply highlighting those who, at the moment, appear to be flying under the radar--generally a sweet spot for an Eliminator to be in.

[Wyrmhero he/him]

It's a shame that Satram didn't get back on and explain why he voted for Karand. Might have actually managed to get some of the votes removed if he had (though mine would've stayed, since it would've been early morning for me). Regarding that vote, I would like to ask Eoladdin why he decided to go for Satrams out of the four possibilities for a lynch, rather than Herywynbe, Ashette and Karand.

 

I would also like to press Jain for information. After being so eager to vote, why did you not in the end?

[Lightsworn Panda he/him]

Apologies for the inactivity. I didn't have anything particularly good to contribute yesterday, and I spent most of today writing essays and such.

 

Peng, I second Kas in calling you out. Ever since the game started, you've made only one post, and that was:

 

 

 

Okay then... dom

 

You gave no reasoning for the post, other than hinting that you were swayed by someone's opinion. You haven't given a reason for your inactivity, and you've been active elsewhere on the forum.  Could you please pop in and explain your actions?

 

Wyrm, it's the Night Cycle. As for why I didn't vote, I didn't have any particular conviction in any of the suspects being evil. Also, I wasn't exactly very eager to start the lynching. I just wanted to win the award of being the first person to vote in the game    (My award list is feeling a bit empty after My Goodie Two Shoes Award was finally struck off).

Welcome to the the club, Wyrm.

I'm well aware that it's the Night Cycle - I only put that in red this Night Turn because you did the same during the first Night Turn .

But I'm still not buying that as a real reason. You say you weren't eager to start the lynching, but that's entirely the point of the first day. I was pretty sure that, as the Right Hand of the Inquisition, you were behind the whole 'voting to get people to talk' thing. To come back and say that you didn't want to lynch anyone... Well, that's suspicious to me still.

Also, while I remember. I mentioned to Wilson a thought I had about Satrams maybe voting for Karand to save someone. Now, obviously we know that's not true now, but it was a possibility (actually, in hindsight, it's a pretty terrible idea to do that this early in the game, unless the person you're saving has a really useful Role). But regardless of that, I find it interesting that Wilson went and used that idea to vote in the thread, without discussing it in the group PM at all.

You know, we should make an (good-natured) award for making the first accidental post in a game. 

 

Pardon me for not explaining it clearly. I wasn't exactly "gung-ho" in my enthusiasm to get everyone started. I just wanted to nudge people into getting a conversation started. Also, by the time I had checked in on the forum again on Day 1, we already had a pretty good discussion going, and since I really only wanted to get it started, I wasn't particularly inclined in joining.

[little wilson she/her]

2. Wilson. When I did up my vote trackers, I recalled that I'd only really put one vote: that on Hreo, and that'd stuck, until I shifted my vote to myself. In other words, despite being active in discussion, I had low vote flexibility. Given that, I'm curious about why you considered that part of Sart's logic to be faulty?

 

Yes, you'd only put one vote, but it was also the very first vote of the day, and like you said, you didn't retract it until you voted for yourself. Let's take a look at exactly what Sart said again:

 

I'm going to move straight to voting for Kassad. He's been very active in the thread lately, but he hasn't been active in voting for anyone. Furthermore, he's voted for himself, which makes me very suspicious of why he's trying to buy trust.

 

(emphasis mine). I found it faulty because it was incorrect. You had voted for someone. Plus, he's suspicious of you for trying to buy trust? Hero was doing the exact same thing by insisting, numerous times, that he wasn't spiked. So why does that peg you as being the highly suspicious one? Because it was coupled with the fact you hadn't voted for anyone?.....except that you had. So....both points make no sense. Faulty logic.

 

 

Also, while I remember. I mentioned to Wilson a thought I had about Satrams maybe voting for Karand to save someone. Now, obviously we know that's not true now, but it was a possibility (actually, in hindsight, it's a pretty terrible idea to do that this early in the game, unless the person you're saving has a really useful Role). But regardless of that, I find it interesting that Wilson went and used that idea to vote in the thread, without discussing it in the group PM at all.

 

....Huh. I'd thought I had responded to that in the PM, but I must've seen it as I was getting ready for church. Oops. Before you brought it up, that idea hadn't occurred to me, and for the next few hours, as I kept up with everything going on (despite the fact that I should've been paying attention in church, but whatever...), I considered it. When I finally sat down to write that post, I'd concluded that it was a possibility, but ultimately, it was all circumstantial. However, tied with the faulty logic, he was the best suspect at that point in time.

 

When I listed my suspicions and said "but who to vote for?" that wasn't really rhetorical. When I typed that, I actually had no idea which of them I was going to vote for. Ostrich and Ash were mostly gut at the time, Winter was a big worry because I was paranoid about a PM, and Sart was where the little bit of evidence was. Ultimately, I went with the evidence.

 

While the evidence proved incorrect (unsurprising for this early stage), I don't really feel bad about the lynch. I saw him online, checking the thread, after Eol's vote on him, so he no doubt saw that he was leading in votes. Maybe he wasn't in a position to respond, or maybe he just didn't really care. I have no idea. But if he'd even posted a little response like "Hey, I can't respond in depth right now or even before the end of the cycle. I'll explain after the rollover," I would've switched my vote to someone else on good faith.

[Newan he/him]

4. Newan. As far as I can tell, you've had a single post in the Day Cycle, and that was a one-liner which can be read in many ways. You asked why the dogpile on Hreo. Which could mean just about anything from the fact that you think it was a bandwagon, that no-one had any good reason to go after Hreo, or that the last few people didn't have any good reason to vote for Hreo. I find it interesting that you didn't take note of the different motivations aired for voting Hreo, nor that some were more shaky than others. The lack of specificity in your one-liner and the fact that it can be passed off as being confused about what is going on in-thread really makes me wonder. More to say, have you, Supreme Lynchmaster? Hmm?

 

I actually did write a second post.  I took a Araris's post about why he was voting for Hero and started breaking down why its motivations were conflicting and didn't make sense, and that's why I was voting for him.  Then as I was finishing writing my post, I realized that Araris's post did make sense after all, and that I was talking out of my chull.  So I didn't submit it.  

 

I'm sorry I wasn't active yesterday.  RL stuff.  But I promise that as soon as I find someone who I actually do suspect, I will do my absolute best to live up to my title.

despite the fact that I should've been paying attention in church, but whatever...

You heard it here first, everyone! Sanderson Elimination is now officially better than religion!

How's the fire feel, Meta? Did you get burned when the lightning struck?
