@A Joe in the Bush, can alignments change?

PAFO

[Ecthelion III he/him]

Just looking at his post history, I'd be interested in hearing more from Assassin. He's voted conservatively with the wagon, he's been active a lot in other threads without much analysis in this one, he defended me a little (probably to gain credibility if I was killed and turned out to be a villager).

Sart might die of the filter, so I wouldn't recommend wasting a lynch on him. [Also, Rae]

 

[Magestar he/him]

The vote is so spread out right now.  It's somewhat worrying.   I feel like I should keep mine where it is, however, I am slightly worried that DA has three votes, and then there are a large number of miscellaneous votes hovering around.

If we could decide on a person to definitely lynch, that would be great.

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

What's the tally at?

You could check as easily as I could.  

-sigh-

DA:  Dani; DA; Mage

Rae; Ecth

Ecth: Rae

Sart: Lopen

Mage:  Stick

Assassin:  Ecth

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

Yeah, all right. Darkness Ascendant. That should be enough that tampering and isn't worth the cost.

Would you mind telling me what about my posts seemed off?  If @TheMightyLopen could do that as well, that would be great, as I've seen both of you list me as a suspicion.

I thought lynching Len was a good idea.  I was wrong.   Not a lot I can do about that now, but I only voted for Len twice this game, and the second time was after other people had voted for him, so I voted for someone I thought we should lynch instead of someone I thought would die by inactivity.  

Mostly it's that I'm not suspicious of everyone else. Your posts haven't really given me any village vibes so far. But like I said, I'd like to go over your posts again(which I haven't done yet).

I guess I can move my vote to Darkness Ascendant as well, since it appears that's who's being lynched. Sart.

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

Shouldn't the cycle be over?

I posted in the OP that I would be moving Rollovers back an hour from now on, but due to formatting, it got stuck in the player list. It is quoted here.

I am moving Rollover and writeup back one hour to compensate for the lost hour. Sart did not die of inactivity.

 

 

[TheMightyLopen he/him]

In case I die, I'm a little suspicious of Stick. She hasn't been participating in the lynch much, like she said, but she did vote one time. For Nathan, when Ripple was up for the lynch. She removed it a little later, but it could be that she was afraid of lynching a villager(if Nathan is in fact a villager).

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Time!

Cycle 6: Ok, this is geting out of Hand.

Jack leaned back in the chair, arms dangling limp at his side, his mouth and nose covered in thick, alcohol soaked fabric to keep the plague out. He hadn’t cared when the other three had died. While he had known them, he hadn’t been friends with them. They were co worker’s, nothing more.

 

But not Sartiarty. Not him.

 

Sartiarty had been there through thick and thin. He had helped care for Rebekka after the Austere’s had killed his wife in the last war. He had helped him escape the riots the night the Lord Ruler died. He had been there through everything, always with a level head and a plan to get by.

 

Now he lay in a broken bed, wrapped in a coarse blanket, air rattling in and out of his lungs. His skin was stretched tight against each bone thick, sticky saliva ran a path down his chin and neck to the bed. His once fantastic hair was greasy and clumped together from prolonged bedrest. He looked the picture of a corpse.

 

Doc, Aurore, and Quintus’s deaths had been hard, but none were as hard as this. Arboreon’s betrayal of them hadn’t even been this bad. Jack was losing everyone. Despite everything, Quellion was winning. And the remaining Nobles were still no closer to finding Rebekka. It was time for Jack to take action.

 

He stood up, patted Sartiarty’s head one last time, and left.

 

---

 

He found Newt in the upper floor of an abandoned Skaa Kitchen. His forehead was against the wall, and he was apathetically kicking the base of it. He paused when Jack walked in, but kept at it after he saw who he was. “How’s Sartiarty?”

 

“Dead by now. Plague got him.”

 

“Good riddance.” Jack’s fist clenched, but Newt didn’t notice. Or didn’t care. “That’s one less man i need to worry about.”

 

“What’s wrong Newt?”

 

“They’re dead Jack. That’s what’s wrong. Doc, Aurore, Quintus and Stink. They’re dead because we stayed in this damnation city to try to help you and Arboreon and the others. And then it turns out that Arboreon betrayed us to Quellion, and was happily working for him.” Newt stopped kicking the wall. He stood there for a long moment, then straightened up and turned to face him. “I need your help Jack.”

 

Memories of their rooftop conversation during Quellions speech last week. “Anything. That’s why I’m here.”

 

“You heard about Richelle? That sociopathic Skaa who does all of Quellion’s dirty work?”

 

All too much. “I know of her.”

 

“She caught the plague. About when Eoldren did. But she survived. Went through enough pain that she snapped. A Thug.”

 

Jack winced. That was just about the worst power he could imagine Richelle getting. “What do you need?”

 

“Men. All the men you can hire to kill her. Any lies you can tell to get them to put the dog down before she bites off one of her hands.” He chuckled once, without any humour. “I want to bite off one of hers first.”

 

---

 

Richelle knew something was wrong the moment she stepped into the small house that she had claimed as her own. It was easy to tell what was wrong, considering that the house was empty of all the furniture she had moved into it over the past four weeks. It was just bare stone and doorways.

 

She pulled out one of her daggers, yanked the cork out of a vial of pewter shavings she had stolen from Quellion, and chugged them down. She dropped the vial, and pulled out a second dagger. The pewter flamed to life inside her, and she took a step deeper into the room, her eyes going from side to side.

 

“See that boys? Told you she was an Allomancer. A Noble, living among us this entire time.”

 

She pivoted around to face the still open front door. Somehow, without her hearing, a group of men had appeared. One of them, at the front, she recognized as Jack, one of Quellion’s City Officials. The crowd with him looked angry, and all had weapons of one kind of another. This would be fun.

 

“Kill her boys! For the Survivor! For the Skaa!”

 

The group roared, and charged forward. Richelle grinned. Her birthday had come early apparently. She dashed forward and met them, her daggers swooping high over makeshift clubs, her body sliding low under legs and through gaps. Wherever she went, a club was flung down at her, but they hit stone or someone else, never her.

 

By the time she made it through the crowd of twenty men, to where Jack had been, a full third of them were bleeding out on the street. But the other dozen odd men were still determined, full of anger. Way to angry in fact.

 

They charged her again in full force. She ducked and weaved and slashed and hacked, killing who she could, maiming anyone else.

 

As she lunged back to avoid three clubs, her foot landed in a puddle of blood, and slid out behind her, sending her to the ground. She tried to leap back to her feet, but was tackled from the side by one of the skaa, quicker than the others. He knocked her daggers out of her hands, and squeezed her tight. She flared her pewter, and tried to break free, but more skaa piled on.

 

THey began to club her over the head, trying to kill her, or at least, beat her into unconsciousness. Pewter helped to stave off the darkness, but it’s power wasn’t infinite, and it was blocking so much pain. Most of it, oddly, centered around her wrist. She managed to twist around, enough to see, a man sawing at her left hand with a jagged blade.

 

Her hand came off, right as the last of the pewter burned out in her belly, and she sank into the Abyss.

Well, I was right about DA being inno.

Why are the Coinshots not doing their jobs?

I'm still sticking with Assassin and Daniyah as the elims (for now at least).

Burgundy, your thoughts, please.

[Assassin in Burgundy he/him]

Ok. I've been voting with the group just so I wouldn't get killed via inactivity. I haven't been paying total attention to this game. I'll read the first post and then just scroll down from there. Sorry. You can lynch me if you want. I'm a regular citizen. It won't help the villagers at all but if it makes you feel vindicated, @Ecthelion III, then go ahead. 

[Ecthelion III he/him]

@Assassin in Burgundy How would me lynching a Normal Villager help me feel vindicated? Vindicated means "to be proven right; to be cleared of blame or suspicion" and I would have none of those things if you were actually a Normal Villager. That just makes me more suspicious of you. Secondly, I've seen you viewing this thread more often than you're letting on. I've even seen you on during cycles you didn't vote in. I believe you are somewhat paying attention to the game but don't want others to know. Thirdly, you said "I've been voting with the group just so I wouldn't get killed via inactivity", yet if the write--up tallies were correct, the first cycle you voted in was C4. You didn't even vote the first three cycles despite the inactivity filter. This directly contradicts your previous statement.

[Magestar he/him]

-sigh-  I'm going to vote for Assassin as well, simply by process of elimination.  My suspicions are Assassin, Ecth, and Stick, in about that order, simply because everyone else is basicly cleared in my mind.  Although I intend to go over that today to make sure I'm not missing anything.

[TheMightyLopen he/him]

Darn it. I was so close to asking Rae to protect herself. I just didn't think the elims knew about her being a Thug. Me and Alv were the only ones who knew about her I believe, and I don't think Alv would tell anyone and I know I haven't. I guess they just got lucky. 

So, we've got 8 players left. Assuming none of the inactives were eliminators, that would mean there's likely 2 eliminators left. So we need to get this lynch right, especially if the eliminators have a Soother/Rioter(vote manipulation/Coinshot redirect). I'm gonna try to summarize what each player left has done and how they've interacted with players that could tell us about their alignment.

1. Lopen. I think I'll just pass on reviewing my own posts, as I might be a tiny bit biased.
2. Daniyah - Said she'd voice her thoughts this game, which was immediately followed up by Jondesu(Noble) saying basically the same thing. Said she had a bad feeling about Doc. Voted on Jondesu after Wonko answered her question about Jondesu's timing with the PM to me and Wonko. Voted on Nathan for inactivity filter dodge on C2. Removed after he explained. Talks to Ecth about online times and such. Voted on DA.
3. Wonko - Was the first vote on Doctor, stating he seemed off. Didn't think me or Ecth was suspicious. Later said he wanted to drop his vote on Doc, but that it would create a tie. Voted on Jondesu on C2, but said he was less sure about it. I suppose he meant he was more sure about the Doc lynch? Even though he wanted to remove his vote later? Me and Wonko were contacted by Jondesu on C1 when he asked us to remove our votes on Doc. Kept his vote on Jondesu, saying he thought it likely Jondesu was trying to save Doc based on posts/that PM. Seemed very confident Jondesu was a Noble, after saying earlier that he wasn't very sure about him. Jondesu tried to argue his case at the end of C2, but Wonko didn't back down. Stated suspicion of Ripple and Ecth on C3, then voted on Ripple. Said he wasn't very certain about either of them. Voted on Sheep for inactivity. Justifies his vote on Sheep. Asks Ecth to elaborate why he voted Mage on C5. Asks Ecth to elaborate on suspicion of Rae and Dani. Also states suspicon of Sart, but didn't vote on him. Voted on DA on C5 to avoid vote manipulation/tampering. 
4. Ecthelion - Ripple(Noble) voted on Ecthelion with her first post. Distancing? Or was she genuinely trying to lynch Ecth? I'm leaning towards actually trying to lynch. Doctor(Noble) also called Ecth out as being different than usual. I don't think 2 elims would bus a teammate so early. Jondesu also commented about Ecth during the first Cycle, saying he seemed lynch happy. Based on these interactions alone, I'd be inclined to think Ecth is a Citizen. If Sart was a Noble, he defended Ecth to a certain extent, but I'd say it looks more like a buddying up post than a defend a teammate post. That's only if Sart was a Noble though. I just don't feel that the Nobles would have said as much about Ecth if he was one of them. Said Rae and Jondesu were prime targets for the lynch, but voted on Rae. If Sart was a Noble, Ecth is basically cleared, as Sart asked a Coinshot to kill him on C2. I guess that's a moot point though. Voted Rae on C3. Votes on Mage on C5. Says Dani and Rae are suspicious for stuff. Voted on Assassin on C5.
5. Magestar - First post of note was him defending Jondesu, stating that it was a massive bandwagon and he didn't like it. Also said he thought Doc might have contacted Jondesu telling him that El was either a ruthless villager or an eliminator, but there's really no reason for him to think Jondesu was the other villager. I don't think Jondesu ever responded and said whether Doc contacted him or not, which is kind of interesting. His reads on that post were that Orlok(village), Aman(village), Elenion(village), and maybe Ripple(Noble) or Wonko(???) were suspicious. But then poke voted Alvron(village). Stated suspicion of Rae, Orlok, and Ecth(< all villagers) at the end of C2 and didn't like the Jondesu lynch. Voted on Len on C3 and said Rae was suspicious too. Again, both were villagers. Voted on Rae when Ripple was tied for the lynch with Rae. Said he couldn't tell about Ripple and didn't seem to think the evidence was condemning enough to lynch her. Said a coinshot could kill Nathan for the filter block post, because it looked really bad. Removed vote on Rae, stating her post persuaded him to not lynch her at least. Also said Nathan cleared up his suspicion of him. Voted on Len on C4, saying he wasn't too suspicious of Sheep. Classic "vote on a villager and defend a different villager" tactic? Wait, that's probably not an actual classic tactic.  Defended Sheep again, saying Len was a better lynch. I feel like he was defending Sheep a little too strongly. Could be he already knew Sheep was a villager. Changed vote to Sheep just because. Then removed it, saying he was worried about him being a Jester. Says "also" a lot(not that that means anything ). Votes on DA, but says Sart is the second best option. Says me, Rae, and Wonko are basically cleared. Not sure about Stick. Thinks Ecth is a Jester. No opinion on Assassin really. Asks Stick and me why we think he's suspicious. Said he thought it was pretty likely that DA was a Noble, and that if Sheep had survived another Cycle, he would have been fine with lynching him.
6. Stick - Said she was not suspicious of anyone during C1, even though there was some interesting stuff going on. Also said it'd be nice to lynch 2 or more elims on the first Cycle, which is kind of odd. Posted a percentage list of each player on C3 and voted on Nathan. Could have been a defense of Ripple, considering she was up for the lynch. Removed her vote from Nathan. Voted on Mage on C5, and says she's suspicious of Nathan.
7. Assassin - Asked about average amount of elims during C1. Amazed at quickness of QF's. XD Said he didn't think Ecth was a Noble. Asked who was the one hesitantly defending Jondesu(it was Ripple, but he thought it was Rae). I answered him directly after that, but he never responded. Voted on Sheep.
8. Nathan - First post was at the end of C2, just saving his life. Said Bugsy told him to post to avoid the inactivity filter. Asked for game advice in thread, to which Wonko replied, then Nathan followed his reasons and voted on Sheep. If Wonko is an eliminator like I think he is, this makes me lean village on Nathan.

Okay, well, I know I didn't do nearly as much in depth analysis of everyone's posts as I did for Mage and Wonko, but that's because I think they're elims and I feel there's enough evidence for Ecth and Dani's innocence that I don't need to go into much detail. As for Assassin and Nathan, they don't have much to analyze. Stick, well, I'm just not sure. If Mage is a Noble like I think, I don't think she'd vote on him on C5 if she were a Noble as well. So I guess I think she's a villager.

Oh, forgot to say, Dani told me that Wonko said he wanted to remove his vote on Doc, but thought it would be too suspicions. I realize Wonko helped lynch 3 Nobles. But the way he did it looks like bussing to me, with him being hesitant and trying to find ways to get the lynch off of them but not finding any un-suspicious way to do so. He then lynched Sheep for inactivity and didn't post very much last Cycle or this one yet.

Anyways, after all of that, I'm even more suspicious of Magestar. Speak of the devil, haha. Ninja'd. XD

Oh Boy.   Well, before I start, I'd like to say I like the tone of your post.  It's not super accusiatory, just stating the facts, which is nice.  And I'll admit it looks sort of bad for me.

It was a massive bandwagon.  I didn't like it.  I'm not sure that there was another person that it looked like Doc PM'ed.  Another thing is, Doc was in contact with Jondesu, so I was right, even if he was an Eliminator.

Ok.  My voting patterns look unfortunate, but I did basically start the game on C3 with like no information.  I guess I've had a bit of a bad streak of voting, but if you look at my votes, I've always tried to back them up, I've not just voted on Villagers (I don't think?) and I think that I did not vote sometimes when villagers were lynched.

I only voted Alv to try and get him to talk.

Rae's post defended her pretty well.  I'm not sure that that's a point against me.

That's not a classic tactic.    You might consider, possibly, that instead of being a manipulative mastermind, I had no idea what was going on, and I voted on the person I was suspicious of instead of the inactive person.   I don't remember defending sheep super strongly.  I just remember saying basically what I've said, that I'd rather lynch an active suspect than an inactive one.  And wouldn't defending a villager be in my favor anyway?

You yourself said Sart was a good option.  I said second best for the same reason I said I'd rather lynch Len than Sheep.  DA was more suspicious, but also more active.  Looks like I was right about lynching the active person instead, anyway.  Although DA did end up being a villager.  But I always have trouble reading DA.

Had Sheep survived and not posted, it would have made a lot of sense to lynch him.   The people I listed are basically cleared.   I still think Ecth is a Jester.  I doubt that there were more than 6 elims, and that there are more than two or three left.  I wouldn't be surprised if there's only one.  We've killed... 3?  And an inactive was probably an Elim, at least one.  So two more would make six, which I don't think is unlikely.

I'm rather curious, why do you think I'm an Elim? Apart from that I show up as viewing the forum home page for too long.
