[Darkness Ascendant he/him]

How exactly was Elantris attacked? Is this a player's doing?

Yeeaaah, that was me.  I've no reason to use the items, I just need lots of items for one of my goals. Do you need to have these back, or would you be so kind as to let me hold onto them? Pretty please?  I'm planning on only stealing from inactives or players who don't need items to complete any of their goals after this. I was just rushed when I sent in my orders last Night, so I picked 3 people from my World randomly(the other player I stole from had no items ).

[Darkness Ascendant he/him]

I don't mind you keeping my alerter, don't need it.

Thanks much. If I can, I'll try to return the favor.

[Haelbarde he/him]

@Lopen, I don't need it back necessarily, but I do need to a random unique item. Should you get your hands on one, I've another relatively useful item I'd also be happy to give you for it in addition to letting you keep the gun.

[Nyali she/her]

I apologize - I forgot to include in the writeup that one Independent has accomplished all of their goals. If three do, the game ends as if a Faction Goal was met.

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

@Haelbarde, I've got a a unique item. It has one more use in it; after that it will just be dead weight. I'm willing to part with it.

EDIT: I don't suppose you'd be willing to give your life for it at some point in the future? After you've completed your goals, that is? I need to kill one more person. It doesn't have to be now, just sometime before the end of the game.

First, I'd like to comment that Lopen managed to survive my attack by shard blade, in fact he did it so thoroughly it wasn't even mentioned in the writeup. Does anyone know how this is possible? He also did it while managing too steal multiple items. So either people are protecting him or he has enormously powerful protective abilities. Regardless, my vote is going on Lopen. Either he is a ghost blood, and one of my win conditions is to stop him, or he's a GOH using a ghost blood claim as an excuse to avoid being targeted. Also he mentioned he'd given up on his objective on Roshar when he clearly hasn't. 

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

Is it possible you were just Roleblocked?

Also, when did Lopen claim Ghostblood?

Then how would he know I attacked him? And why would I have been roleblocked out of the blue? I caught him spying, he stole pattern, which gave me a part of a win condition (have pattern on a ghostblood). Plus he said he needs to get a bunch of items, which is the ghoostblood win con.

Well, I know for a fact that Dalinar has a unique item, so if we lynched him, maybe we could get you that!

My enormously powerful protective ability was just a one-use item, which you so rudely broke by attacking me(it was passive). I had said I'd mostly given up on my goals yes, but then I decided to just go ahead and try to accomplish my 2 individual goals rather than just stop playing(since my team got wiped out by the 2nd Cycle, my faction goal is practically impossible ). Anyways, one of my goals is for you to die, hence the poisoning. Actually, the goal was for both Mraize and you to die, but Mraize is dead already, so you're the one player left in the game that I need dead.

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

He stole a spren? That seems wrong, somehow.

I don't know why you would have been Roleblocked, but it doesn't mean Lopen knew you would attack him. He might not even been the one to do it. But the fact that it didn't show in the write-up implies that the attack was prevented, not defended against.

I think you're probably right about this, but it isn't as certain as you seem to think.

EDIT: Ninja'd. Lopen, what ability kept the kill out of the write-up? And if you're not Mraize, Iyatil, or Shallan, who are you?

It was actually an item. A Sword, to be specific(I think someone else has one of these). I like to think that as Shallan(Dalinar ) summoned her Shardblade to kill me, I quickly threw my Sword at her which forced her to jump out of the way and drop her Shardblade, giving me just enough time to escape being killed(in other words, my Sword was a passive, one use item that roleblocks the first [attack] action against me).

I dropped a hint in my World PM. I can't just reveal. Where's the fun in that?

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

Yeah, okay. I've revealed in PMs, but not in the thread. I understand.

I still don't understand why that wouldn't be in the write-up, but I'll accept it.

[Haelbarde he/him]

@Wonko - I have one goal complete, the item would fulfil another, but the last goal needs a minimum of five more cycles to complete, and likely more. So I'd wager you're better off finding someone else to kill.

Curious, has Orlok done anything this game?

[little wilson she/her]

Orlok isn't playing anymore. As far as I know, he basically withdrew himself from the game, but since there wasn't a pinch-hitter left to take over for him, Locke is just sitting there.

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

Ooh! What planet is he on? Does anyone know if he has protection?

[little wilson she/her]

He started on Sel with me and I would imagine he's still on Sel.

Oh, I got *Pattern back, don't worry.;) I think Lopen learned not to try that again.

Has anyone guessed who I am?

Yeah, I decided to take a new angle. 

Seriously though, just about everything that could go wrong in the first 2 Cycles, did. Mage got lynched Day 1, Luckat got found out immediately and so got killed by Joe, and the best item(highest TV at least) I've stolen all game magically gets returned. 

@Araris Valerian, would you mind not interfering in mine and Dalinar's duel? I'd very much appreciate it if you didn't give him that healing item.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

Well, I know him IRL, so I'm kind of inclined to help him. How about this: Whoever will give me the greatest TV worth of items I will assist.

That's a problem then. I've got some items, but I don't know what they're worth and I need items for my goal. :/

Actually, forget it. I have a pistol, he has a Shardblade. We can just duel it out this upcoming Night. If he wins, he can heal himself. If he loses, well, he's dead and it doesn't matter if you give him the healing item.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

That sounds like a plan.
