Long Game 14: To Shatter a Shard

[Guest]

May I have a PM with the new holder of Cultivation as well?

[RavenRadient7 she/her]

Same here, please?

[Seonid he/him]

Dear cultivation, I would be much obliged to you if you would be willing to instantiate a new PM between myself, Wilson, Kipper, and you. (If you'd rather not be a part of it, that's fine as well, one with Kipper and Wilson and myself would be fine.)

Thank you.

Yes. I support that request. Not that I don't like talking to you, Cultivation, because you're an utter delight, but....Seonid and Kipper have been my buddies this entire game and to forsake this partnership would be a travesty.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Culty, Wilson and I please. Maybe one with you if you want.

[Seonid he/him]

Thank you, Cultivation.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Come on, Stink, pleeeeaaasssee?

[STINK he/him]

I'm not seeing anything particularly nice unlike Seonid.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Por favor, can you make a PM between myself and the lovely Wilson, though we are ultimately inferior to your wishes, O Lord Cultivation? If you would deign to hear my thoughts, I would appreciate also the opportunity to talk to you directly. Bitte? S'il vous plait?

[phattemer]

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Thank you, Mailliw, and good night!

[little wilson she/her]

I don't know if you should grant that, Stink. He sounds too desperate. Plus, I'm inferior to no one, even if I'm simply a Normal Worldhopper. How dare you call me inferior?!

[Mailliw73 he/him]

You gave up your power, and allowed yourself to succumb to regular humanity while he has been thrusted into power.

[little wilson she/her]

Details. Those are irrelevant.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

They are all that's relevant.

[Guest]

Excuse me? I'm quite relevant to this situation as well.

And since when are the dead allowed to make cryptic comments that might ultimately change our actions? Hm?

[Mailliw73 he/him]

New Odium, think very carefully who you Invest in/kill. Actually, just kill the person you Invest in. Still be careful though.

[Guest]

Mailliw, that's rather...harsh. Here I was all ready to ask for the Investment, but if I'll just get killed for my willingness to serve, nevermind.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Don't Invest in Kipper. It probably won't work.

 

Edit: I hope my liaison communicated with you who holds Shards and who doesn't, because Investing in a Shard won't work. Don't Invest in Hoid either, he's got no interest in keeping the game fun and balanced.

Your comment about balance indicates that the game itself has balance issues, which it doesn't. At least, not the way you're thinking. I got incredibly lucky, but I guarantee that if I hadn't gotten that lucky, the village would be screwed right now. If Alv and Hael hadn't been caught so fast, they would've used Dominion to create all sorts of havoc that would've made it almost impossible for the village to win. So the balance? It's fine. If anything, it was balanced slightly in favor of the eliminators, but only slightly. Don't mistake luck for balance issues because they are two very, very different things.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Sorry, I meant balance as in the current balance of good vs evil players, not game balance.

[Guest]

Y'know, this whole game, I've been saying I'm not a Shard. It's still true. The Investment would work.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

I request an extension.

[little wilson she/her]

Sorry, I meant balance as in the current balance of good vs evil players, not game balance.

Ah. That explains why you were really in support of helping the PK in LG 4 when it was 1 against 16. I see. Or in LG 13 when it was 1 against 12. This is 1 against 6 (since Seonid and you are neutral).

Most games have between 4-6 survivors with some games falling slightly under that and some slightly over with a handful above 10. This is nearing the average mark.

So...what's the problem with balance? I'd say it's fine. Nothing as bad as some games have been.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

I'm neutral, that's exactly why I want it balanced. That's a lot more fun to watch.
