I've been in imre for the last few turns. 

Edit: also,I doubt HH and I would vote on each other if both of us were skindancers.

But you are a Skindancer, not I. So there is nothing wrong with voting Stick Stick.

[BrightnessRadiant she/her]

Oops sorry @_Stick_  you're right! You were elevated twice...my bad

[Amanuensis he/him]

Mainly Steph, it's because I can't figure out how both Burnt and Arin could have been detained unless A: Alv was a Sympathist or B: Both HH and Stick are Skindancing Physickers (or there's a third no one is telling us about, or the elims have an ability to redirect HH's detainment)

[Arinian]

I'm 90% sure that HH is elim. Also I think that's not bad idea to kill Alvron(if we can do that). It's will clarify some things... and we will get info about his field if he will die?

Yknow.

 

If hh is a master

 

 

Votes do nothing to him.

Masters are kinda in control of the dp. They cant be expelled....

Oh snap...if he is a skindancer than the students at the uni are in trouble!

Also I keep forgetting about straw and Eohl but they're both still around somewhere (have like zero read on them)

@Amanuensis how come if you were on the streets all this time it only mentioned it once in the writeup? Maybe elbereth just decided not to reveal that anymore?

[Amanuensis he/him]

Straw and Eol are unlikely a problem since they would need to be participating to put orders in to sabotage people.

Wait. Are either of them on the streets? I feel like I remember Eol going on them but if Straw isn't, he's a potential candidate.

And I'm pretty sure that the write up only says that when someone gets out on the streets. Although it would be very useful if each new thread had a list of the homeless.

Also nah on me putting lodging orders in. It's probably a really bad move on my part, and might even cost the village the game, but it really does amuse me to see how long I can survive, and I really can't dedicate more time and energy to this game than I have the last couple days for a week or so at least, if not longer.

@Amanuensis I'm genuinely confused as to why you're suspicious of me ? I have been suspicious of HH for a while (because of his Field) and then I switched to Stick because of her field/she voted on PK/and I think I had another reason but I don't remember lol. Anyways I hired an assassin to kill Aonar (wouldn't have wasted my money on that if I was a Skindancer), The cycle before Stink died I even said I was suspicious of him, and I've been trying to help this whole time and have given all of the helpful info I have in the thread. I'm pretty positive that either Stick/HH is evil (or both honestly) and I just chose to vote Stick. Also Archives isn't even very helpful to the Elims besides researching to find out who has what ability. OH I just remembered the other reason why I'm suspicious of Stick is because she has school records and I feel like she probably didn't put any more EP into Archives after she got that ability and that's why I was elevated again this turn. 

Queensteph. Your defense are weak.

Mmmmhmm lol

I seriously am not sure who is evil at this point..bleh

I think I would say stick is my biggest suspicion cuz her vote on PK last turn made no sense

But I'm really not sure about anyone else any more 

 

[Amanuensis he/him]

Eh. Honestly HH, if you are a villager, you really should argue your innocence / contribute more. Making posts like that doesn't help any of us establish a good read on you, which means people will continue to tunnel on and try to kill you, which might be just what the Skindancers need to win. 

Unless your an SD and just don't care, which is the vibe I'm getting right now.

Edit: Ah right, Stick voting for PK... bleh. That and her "not using an action" makes me uneasy. Sigh. I wish I could help more guys, but I don't have the time or energy to check back logs.

I still would like HH and Steph to die the most, I think. They're my best bets, knowing what I do now.

My next two suspects would be Stick and Cluny. Everyone else, I think is clean.

Edit2: Oh right. Arin. Killing Alv at this point isn't a very good option, I think. We are getting low on numbers and not going after the sane Skindancers first could maybe cost us the game.

[queensteph she/her]

@Cluny the Scourge Your defense is weak.  I don't have much to defend myself against though. Aman's reasoning for being suspicious of me is that I could be lying about Alvron. So I can't really defend against that because I can't quote a GM PM so like? What do you expect me to say.

Edited May 18, 2017 by queensteph
misspelled Aman's name

[Sparkrunner he/him]

I will not remove my vote, I do not think, I have had some suspicion of you since Randuir was suspicious of you a few cycles ago, (HEY RANDUIR) and that has not dropped. I do not take notes so I can't do a ""read on you, though.

[Amanuensis he/him]

There is certainly a chance you're telling the truth, Steph, but if you are than the only explanation I can think of is if HH and Stick are both Skindancers.

Edit: Or one of Burnt / Arin is lying. Probably Burnt.

Term 5 is over. Term 6 will be posted in 6 hours. Do not post or PM. 

[Elbereth she/her]

LG33: Term 6, Month 1 - Sticks and Embroidery

“I am a stick,” said the stick. It sighed, thinking of the futility of its existence. It was only a simple stick, after all. How could it ever hope to compete against the wonders that were human beings? 

It quivered for a moment, sensing danger. “I am a stick?”

“You are a stick,” a soft, dangerous voice agreed. A dagger embedded itself into the stick.

“...I am a stick,” said the stick, undamaged except for a slight nick in its midsection.

“...um. I’ll be back later?” the assassin said, and the Stick heard footsteps retreating..

It sighed, and would have rolled its eyes if it had them. “I am a stick.” 

---

Amelia shivered. The last weeks had changed her, once she’d been expelled. Being alone in the world was frightening, and she didn’t know what she was supposed to do without her studies. 

She sat in her room, shivering in the night air. She should close the window at some point, she mused, but she didn’t feel like getting up just then. She stared down at the embroidery in her hands, something she’d tried to take up to keep herself occupied.

It was intended to be a field of flowers, but with the sympathy lamp distorting the colours and the state of the embroidery, it looked more like an array of droplets of orange and crimson. 

A particularly cold breeze blew across the back of her neck, and she turned to get up. 

The dagger aimed for her neck caught on the embroidery still in her hands, barely stopping it from nicking her. 

“What in Tehlu’s name...” Amelia gasped.

The assassin groaned. “Not again.” He - or maybe she, Amelia couldn’t tell - turned and ran for the window.

Amelia was left thoroughly confused with a horrible piece of embroidery and a dagger stuck through it. 

---

Varda looked down, mostly in confusion. “Who, exactly, thought that it would be a good idea to allow an inanimate object to attend the university?”

No one answered, though several Masters looked away.

“...very well. You are henceforth expelled and banned from the grounds of this University. I... suppose.” She paused. “Would someone mind throwing that across the River?”

Stick was attacked, but survived, and was expelled!
Brightness Radiant was attacked, but survived!

Raaggee

No sabotage?

 

[BrightnessRadiant she/her]

Hey no one went insane or died? That's good I guess...although to be honest I sent the assassin on stick ...I tried to see if she or HH were evil by sending an assassin on one and using fae lore on the other (HH), but my fae lore action said it failed. So I guess either someone blocked me, or he's not a skindancer. Also someone tried to kill me ...tbh I was expecting that a long time ago, but I'm glad I was protected

So when I used fae lore on burnt I was notified that I used it on her but i wasn't sure what that meant? I'm not sure if it just meant I wasn't blocked or it was successful and she is evil? Anyone have thoughts?

Also I literally laughed out loud when I read the writeup! Cuz el said Amelia didn't know what to do with her studies and I will admit I've been having trouble understanding some of them lolol... @TheMightyLopen @Elbereth @DroughtBringer thanks for being patient GMs 

Ninja'd by stick (I would say please don't be mad...but I literally hired an assassin to kill you hehe

From the rules:

"Unless an action specifically targets a player to learn something about them, you will not learn whether your action succeeded. "

 

Edit-

Also im pleased to say i wasnt blocked this cycle if anyones interested.

[queensteph she/her]

@BrightnessRadiant It said your Fae Lore action failed ? I used Fae Lore on Burnt this turn and it didn't tell me it failed. 

Interesting. HH could've used Medica Detainment (which I'm sure he probably did since he figured he'd be targeted since he was in the line of fire last turn).

But it's interesting that it told you that it failed.  I wonder if it only tells you it failed because it was blocked ?

Like, say someone used Fae Lore on me and I didn't block it but I also wasn't a skindancer.....would it still say it failed? Or would it only say it failed if it was blocked?

It seems like that would make it too easy to catch the skindancers.  

 

Edit: Ninja'd by Burnt. @Burnt Spaghetti Could you possibly tell us what action you used that could verify that you weren't blocked? Then you would be confirmed good.

Well, for one, i bought a curiour. And sent it to you. Sooo that anonymous message you just got? Thats from me id tried to send that earlier. But when i was detained it was also blocked. So i assume fae lore blocks the same things as a detainment so... theres my evidence

Hmmm that was a good idea burnt...I'd like to hear if steph received it, but I'm thinking more and more that you are a villager. Unless steph is evil too, but I don't really think she is.

[queensteph she/her]

@Burnt Spaghetti Yay! It's always good to have confirmed villagers!! @BrightnessRadiant I did receive it this cycle. 

Also I'd just like to say..... @Cluny the Scourge you little thief

He pickpocketed me  luckily i was actually kinda poor bc i had bought the assassin to kill Aonar so he didn't get much.
