Long Game 11: Twinborn Village

[luckat she/her]

I'll add my vote to Jaelre because I'm sure he is spiked.

Also, I can vouch for Meta. Araris was spreading lies.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

I spread nothing. I was annoyed at Wonko, and he took it way farther than was intended, considering that I had already told him that Meta was confirmed to be trusted beforehand.

Jaelre! Yea! I hope this bandwagon has comfy seats!

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

The first one, Wonko. I wouldn't say my character has much of a love of history unless it relates to his family history, but that doesn't mean that he's going to abandon the friendship entirely. I'll try to do up some RP later tonight. 

 

You know, now that I look back, that's true. Somehow I'd gotten the impression that Malrick was the history buff sort, even though you never said anything to that end.

[Feligon he/him]

Presonally, I think it would be cool if we had 23 votes for Jaelre.  Apply for most wanted?

 

There are just so many votes on him, I want to see how high we can get the number.  

 

I haven't done enough scheming recently, and I died in the other game.  Maybe I should work on school... Nah, real life is boring.  

[twelfthrootoftwo]

Last night, there were at least 7 attacks made towards me.

It's my fault that you got attacked last night (though I have no idea where seven attacks came from; I was hoping for three at best).

 

This suggests to me that the Spiked have earned sizeable influence behind the scenes. Four attacks ( the ones that weren't due to Wonko) is getting unwieldy just for the Spiked and allied Kandra. It might be worth tracing the other kills to figure out if there's a common source.

 

I trust Luckat, and by extension Meta. Which means the evidence against Jae is substantial.

[Metacognition he/him]

Phew! Glad I retracted my extension! If I hadn't, we might have had to wait even longer!

 

Just messing with you, GMs, but an update wouldn't go unnoticed, please!

[Aonar he/him]

Phew! Glad I retracted my extension! If I hadn't, we might have had to wait even longer!

 

Just messing with you, GMs, but an update wouldn't go unnoticed, please!

 

...I completely missed that you'd retracted your extension. Sorry about that.

 

I'm getting to the write-up. Don't worry. (Totally didn't fall asleep on the couch while working on the write-up last night.  ) Results up momentarily, write-up coming in an hour or so.

The Night will end at 10:00 PM CDT on Tuesday. (Or maybe not. I might not have internet Tuesday night. I'll hopefully discuss things with Newan and see how they go.)

Well, that is nice, good job everyone

Another Grave complete, though Jain as he cleaned his gear. Another Headstone set. Gravedigging was quite dreary work, but at least you were paid well. At least, the corpses paid well. It's not stealing if they're dead, right?

 

Jaelre hadn't asked for a headstone, so his headstone simply bore the words:

 

Jaelre

Poor Jaelre

When we said, "Heads up," old friend, we meant it.

[Feligon he/him]

6 peoples' votes didn't count!  Wow.  Probably sleeping or something 'cuz they didn't do it during the night.

[Bort he/him]

Excellent. Another one down

[neodymium]

Great job everyone!  Does anyone have any new leads on spiked?  Or theories?

[Bort he/him]

I have a theory.

 

I believe Dowanx is Spiked. I'll admit, I could be wrong, but I have a few reasons for thinking this.

 

He helped us get our first Spiked kill, but that was after a few cycles where things were going nowhere. An honest vote, or an attempt to gain trust and kickstart the game moving? Remember, it is possible for the Spiked to gain new allies this game, so a deliberate sacrifice is not out of the question, and Winter would be a good choice for this, as he (or she?) is running their own game.

 

Since then, he has waited until the late hours of a cycle, and jumped onto the bandwagon votes for the other lynched (apart from this last one. He said he voted, but it didn't show.)

 

Also, practically all of his comments since that first successful lynch have basically been saying "Yay! Go Villagers!" But he has added nothing of significance. Occasionally, he would claim "I have further info, but will explain it later," then doesn't.

 

I'm willing to listen if anyone has anything to say in his defense, but at the moment, he is looking most likely to me.

 

Edit: Oh, almost forgot. Add all this to the fact that neither I nor those I trust seem to know anything about him.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

I am not sure about Dow. The two people that stood out to me are Spencer and Twelfthrootoftwo. But it is still night time, so we will see if anything new shows up by day.

[dowanx]

I did vote, but it didn't show so I am guessing I got soothed.  You can go back and look at the posts to verify this.  I don't believe I have been really jumping on bandwagons merely voting for the person who I believe is most likely to be spiked.  So far I think we have been doing a great job lynching spiked.

 

When you are referring to I have further info, but will explain later?  I thought I outlined my thoughts, but if I didn't I can rectify that now.

[Bort he/him]

Only one I can recall specifically Dowanx, is the one right before Winter died. You joined in the bandwagon, saying 'Yes, I'm suspicious of Winter, and I have reasons. If they don't die, I'll tell you later.' They died, so we never found out. Ever since then, any posts to add your name to a vote has been short and to the point. Nothing to give away your reasoning, which makes me think that you are waiting until the lynches are certain, then adding your name to the list to appear as one of us.

 

There was at least one more occasion when you said this ("I have info, but I'm not sharing yet"), but I'm at work here. I'm not going to trawl back through 30+ pages of posts looking for the one I spotted last night. (And yes, last night I did go through all 30 pages looking people up to see who I feel is dodgiest.

Edited May 12, 2015 by Bort

[dowanx]

I didn't really explain further about Winter because well she died.  I would of pointed out her activity as the largest suspicion.  Although there were other things such as her suggesting everyone say if they slept or not and a couple things that were merely gut feelings on how she worded her posts.  Between those things I felt she was the most suspicious.

 

As for voting only when a lynch seems certain... I don't think a lynch is ever 100% certain in this game except maybe Jaerle's lynch.  The sleeping mechanic plus vote manipulation roles makes it so lynches can go badly if people aren't careful and coordinating.  Look at how many votes went on Jaerle yet how many actually counted.  Also in Winter's case I was the 3rd vote when others had votes on them.  I don't see how that made that vote certain.

 

I hope that answers some of your questions.  If not point out what you want me to clarify and I can.

[neodymium]

I do not think we need to waste our time on Dowanx.  He has supplied information to a trusted few of us that has lead us to two of the spiked.  Also, I know that he has been very involved in PM's, which were necessary before we caught so many of the spiked.  Anyways, keep Dowanx on your watch list if you'd like, but we would all be wasting time to do more than that.  Wonko, what were you saying about some of the other kandra?  Are there any that we need to be worried about?

[Araris Valerian he/him]

There isn't anything to worry about as far as the Kandra. Our doc hasn't changed for over 48 hours now.

[Feligon he/him]

Yeah, it's looking like a pretty dead doc.  lol, I think I'm so funny.

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

Yeah, we seem to have gone our separate ways. I think it was my fault; I was the first to choose a side, which sort of forced the others to decide where they stood concerning my Team Twindra.

 

Fel, you should be ashamed of yourself.

[Bort he/him]

Ok, I'm still not exactly trusting of Dowanx, but I have been persuaded to not try to lynch him.

[Metacognition he/him]

These Night Cycles are going so long that we're discussing typical day time activities during the night, basically just because we can.

Newan is still part of this, right? Can't say I've heard or seen from him in quite awhile (I hope it's not because of something horrible in RL! If so, you have my sympathies, Newan). As such, I'd like to extend my thanks to Aonar for basically running this solo, as he's had to do.
