Mid-Range Game 14: The Canim Fury

[Bugsy he/him]

Cloudjumper, I see you lurking down there. Any thoughts on the game so far?

[Bugsy he/him]

Oh. Just realized you posted the vote count. My bad. Cloudjumper.

Sorry for the double post, GMs have said you have to cancel in a new post IIRC

[Araris Valerian he/him]

Well, I honestly don't think either Elodin or Joe is a good lynch at this point, although if forced to choose, I would probably say to lynch Elodin since I am more familiar with Joe, so if he is a traitor it might be easier to pick up in the long run. So I don't have too much to base that on. I guess I am suspicious of HS and Conquestor for poking on me, but maybe that is selfish. I just wanted to get some stuff down so that whatever happens the next 30 hours or so, you guys have a little to read on me. This will be my last post until Thursday.

[Burnt Spaghetti she/her]

I agree with you Winter on Strawman. I'm going to be "burning some spaghetti"(age old saying) and vote for Burnt Spaghetti. I'll ask you the same questions: Thoughts about Joe and whoever else is currently up for the lynch as well as thoughts on what powers Hael and Elb might give the eliminators? 

 

Thoughts on lynch..... Personally im not a fan of D1 lynches, well at least, i don't participate in them, but i'll give my thoughts anyway.

Joe- I'm not sure... honestly, he is probably good. But its Joe. Be paranoid people. Oh. You are already? That's good. Keep it up.  He might be evil, he might be good. Idk how to tell and i don't particularly wan't to give me a headache trying to analyse his playstyle with a fine toothed comb. I do agree with Araris about Joe probably being easier to determine later on.

Elodin- personally think he's more likely to be the evil one if one of the two is evil. His jumping on bandwagon make me frown. But idk. 

 

 

Hm..

That would depend on how much of a troll Hael was feeling i guess....

 

So there's probably 4-5 eliminators right?

1x I wouldn't be surprised if they had a tier 3 watercrafting because that would allow them to poison people, spy on pms and make pms. Sounds pretty useful for evils IMO.  Though... T3 air.... Hm.

I doubt they'd have extra kills so if they have fire, only a T1

Honestly, i think they also might have a T3 Earthcrafter. A evil scout could be useful to them... and knowing Hael like I do....

Hmm....

 

So i think at least:

1x Water or Air T3 

1x Fire T1

1x Earth T3 

1x Woodcrafting T2

1x metalcrafting T1

 

But then, each person has multiple possible roles....

Hm. I'm going to make some more guesses then:

 

1: Water/Air T3

2: Fire T1, wood T2

3: Metal T1, water/air T1, earth T1

4: Earth T3

5: Wood T1, Fire T2

 

Thats my guesses. I'm probably completely wrong, but eh. 

Hm. I've given them a lot of protects though....

Yeah i'm probably pretty wrong there. But you did ask what i thought they might give the evils.

 

Can anyone post a vote count? Also, how do you burn spaghetti?

Don't know to be honest. I assume you just douse it in kerosene then light it on fire? I've not actually burnt spaghetti before. I burn pancakes regularly, but burnt pancake doesn't feel as nice a username

 

 

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Hmm. . .  I don't really want to lynch any of the people currently lynch-able, and I asked Hael, a Tie results in a coinflip lynch, not a no lynch.

 

Actually, I'm going to try something. Elodin. I am not going to move a vote. The vote is now tied at 3 apiece.

[Hellscythe he/him]

What are you trying Joe

Burnt Spaghetti

[Master Elodin]

Eh, if I get lynched it's not the end of the world. Or my life. Just part of my usefulness.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

I'd bet that the eliminators would jump at a chance to get me lynched, and I know of X numer of firecrafters who are going to switch a vote from me to elodin. So lets count how many votes are moved from me to elodin and vice versa. That will give us a good estimation of hiw many firecrafters the eliminators have, and how many the village has.

I'm fine with that. I feel kind of like Koschei right now, but I'm #helping.

[Hellscythe he/him]

I personally won't be changing any votes. Oh and if anyone wants to make me their heir in any fury I'd be more than happy.

 

Vote Tally

Edit: I have Wood Tier 2 in addition to my primary Fire 1 so don't heir me if you have Wood 3.

Note that a tied lynch will result in a coin flip to decide on who dies.

Someone actually told you they were gonna move a vote off of you? Why? Why don't they get in here in the thread and move a vote off of you by talking us out of it instead of being sneaky about who they want to survive by using vote manipulation? 

[Conquestor he/him]

I don't think that people should reveal their power tiers or if they have multiple powers. It gives an advantage to the eliminators, as they have a better idea of whom to kill.

Information and misinformation Conquestor. I didn't just claim for no reason.

Not if the person who reveals is an eliminator!!! 

[Haelbarde he/him]

Cycle is over. Write up coming in about half an hour.

[Conquestor he/him]

Not if the person who reveals is an eliminator!!! 

That is very true Lopen. It would might or might not be worth telling everyone, it might put suspicion on you or take it off.

Information and misinformation Conquestor. I didn't just claim for no reason.

That is also true and now everyone might be able to guess what you are not. Just saying, it might get killed by the eliminators sooner if they think you are dangerous and they believe you.

I said X number of people. X can equal 0.

I would say more, but I'm not actually certain I can. Can I say game effecting things after a cycle had ended but before the thread is locked?

Cycle 2 - A Shared Nightmare

The march was sullen. They had to keep quiet, but usually there was still conversation. But today, no one talked. Maybe everyone was dealing with the loss of a fair portion of their century. But for some reason, everyone was being wary, not just of their surroundings, but of each other. That needed explanation.

Dominus called for a stop around midday. “You’re all quiet today,” he commented. “What’s wrong?”

Thelus shook his head. “Bad dreams.”

“Really?” said Praetoria. “I had nightmares too. Something about a battle...”

“Me too!” exclaimed Postea. “Everyone was fighting each other.” He gulped, turning to Dominus. “I killed you.”

Dominius frowned. “I remember…”

Everyone started talking. Aldric accused Araris of butchering him, while Gammax glared at Stella, who shrank back.

Luxet murmured to Dominus, “Sir, we are still in enemy territory...”

He nodded. “Quiet!” he ordered, and everyone hushed. “It seems we all had the same dream last night. So? What can we learn from this? What does it mean?”

“We have traitors among us,” whispered Thelus Ascheion. “That’s what it means.”

“Or, at least, a strong fire or earthcrafter trying to get us to think about killing each other...” said Gammax, turning slowly to look at Thelus. “Like you, maybe?”

“W-what? No! I’m not a traitor!”

“Aren’t you?” Amuro Ray said, advancing on him. “You certainly seem to be trying to make us distrust each other.”

“I’m not! I promise! Great Furies, I just had a dream like all of you! That’s it.”

“A dream which you brought up in the first place,” Luxet noted quietly.

“So? Does that automatically make me a traitor, just because I talked about having a bad dream?”

“When that dream seems to have been shared with everyone else in the camp, and you draw the conclusion that there are traitors among us? Yes. It does.” said Amuro.

And before anyone could stop him, Amuro Ray plunged his blade into Thelus Ascheion’s neck.

Dominius froze in horror for a moment. Then, “Legionare Amuro Ray!” he called sharply. “What was that?”

Amuro Ray stared at the corpse for a moment before he turned. “Sorry, sir,” he said shamefacedly. “I don’t know what came over me. It was just... he seemed like a traitor.”

“Seeming is not good enough to murder someone,” said Dominius, frowning. “You have latrine duty until we get back to camp for that, and I’ll have to include that in my report. But we need every soldier for now, unfortunately.”

“Sir.” Amuro Ray saluted.

“Let’s get moving,” Dominius commanded, and everyone packed up and headed out, just as quiet as they had been before.



The night was uneventful, fortunately. No dreams came to haunt Dominus’ sleep, and even the Canim didn’t howl.

Unfortunately, the morning definitely made up for the quietness of the night.

Dominius was woken by Luxet shaking his shoulder. She’d had the night watch, he remembered. “What?” he whispered.

“You should really come see this, sir,” she whispered back.

When he got up, the last thing he was expecting was to be led over to Straw. Straw’s face bulged out at Dominius in a grimace of horror. It seemed he’d been strangled with his own sword, warped all out of shape and wrapped tightly around his neck. He looked up at Luxet grimly.

Dominus shook his head. “Bury the body. Don’t-” he cut off at her gesture.

“There's something else,” she said softly. She led him past the rows of sleeping bodies to the sentry. He saw that  Mulciber was on duty. She acknowledged them as they approached. 

"Tell him what you told me," Luxet ordered.

"Sir! While I was doing a patrol around the camp, I got jumped from behind by someone. I managed the dodge their blade, but was having trouble doing much better than that. But then someone else came along and pushed my assailant away. By the time I got back up, both of them were out of sight.  They came from behind, and they had a sword. Sir, I think one of the soldiers in our company. I immediately told the Tesserarius, who went and told you."

Dominius frowned. “These can’t have been traitors,” he said. “Why not just slit all of our throats first?”

“Perhaps vigilante justice?” suggested Luxet.

Dominius shook his head. “Regardless. I’d hoped to keep one death secret, but I have a feeling there's going to more death before this is done. Organize a burial detail, then, but make it fast. I want to be back at camp before seven more sunrises.”

Luxet nodded and withdrew, and he stood staring down at the corpse for a long moment. Straw hadn’t been killed in battle, or even probably by traitors. He'd been killed by his own men, in some twisted sense of justice or revenge.

It had to stop.

No evil kill. Interesting. Metalcrafters seem to be going at it however.

Conquestor did you attack Burnt or Strawman?

[phattemer]

Well, my protection scheme seems to have worked.

[TheMightyLopen he/him]

Darn, that's too bad Elodin. You were unlucky.

 

It would appear that either the Traitors attacked a Wood player/was blocked by a Tier 2 Wood player. I think.

[Bugsy he/him]

The Eliminators don't seem to have killed anyone. Just to confirm, they do have a group kill, correct?

Edit: Upon looking at the player list, along with the data I have on myself, all players appear to only have T1 on their main fury type. Not sure how useful that is to know, but it might slightly clear "main" metalcrafters like myself from being the vigilantes

Edit 2: Yep, they do. I wonder what happened (and apologize for my laziness)

Edit 3: Wow, lots of edits. Anyways, the eliminators must have either killed someone who was protected or maybe someone who was also vigilante killed. I'm not sure which takes precedence, they appear to be on the same tier order of operations wise

You should go check the OP. . .

 

Edit: Bugsy, I wasn't trying to berate you for laziness or anything(I ask questions like that all the time), I just noticed that the OP was all colored weird and Hael said up above to give it a look, so I thought maybe it was some type of code or something and you should look at it.

[Burnt Spaghetti she/her]

Well that's interesting.

 

I directed all actions against Seonid to myself so either I was attacked or he was.
