Seonid he/him Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 In retrospect, it's also possible that they're dead. Which would be annoying.

Seonid he/him Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 4 minutes ago, The Flash said: Well then. That eliminates that option. Not necessarily. If it was Randuir, then he might have passed it D1 and been kidnapped d2. Plausible. And it would make sense given his rather detailed generosity plan - if he'd held it, he might have been more inclined to explore plans for it 1
BrightnessRadiant she/her Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Yeah it does make sense that it could have been Randuir who held generosity...since his plan was so elebarote and came out of no where. Drat! I wish we could have had him as a confirmed villager if it was him! That would have been helpful...maybe the elims wondered if it was him? Or is that too far outside the box for anyone to have considered? Even without that, he was being super helpful with ideas...the elims could have just wanted him gone Don't let this stop us from passing generosity! We need to find the elims using the plan randuir left behind! @randuir we will also find you my lost pony pal! I would ask that the honesty pony try and scan the ponies who are not being revealed that they held generosity and passed it on...that way we can find the elims twice as fast and once the honesty pony is added to the trust group they can share who they suspect? Does that sound safe? I don't want anypony revealing their element if they don't have to, but we will need honesty to trust somepony eventually, right? We need them to work with the trusted ponies to find the elims. So we still have generosity, kindness, magic, and honesty left...we should try to figure out some more ways to use each one as efficiently as possible.
Steeldancer he/him Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Excellent points! I hadn't considered that. Magic, remember to trust NO ONE. It's not worth it to the village for anyone to know. But also don't let us lynch you. Because your ability wouldn't protect you then (according to what I understood of the rules). It only protects you from one kidnapping.
Quiver he/him Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Cycle 3?! damnation. There is a REASON I don't play these games, and I'm starting to remember what that is. Apologies for my inactivity, just... yeah. I admit, I find it hard to keep up with you guys.
Elithanathile he/him Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Okay, I just really felt I had to share this. You guys are saying that since they took out the experienced players, they must be new/less experienced. Why? Rand was an obvious threat, giving us really helpful strategies. So why wouldn't they kill him? And with Joe, he hadn't offered a whole lot in the thread that I recall, so if new players were Elims, they wouldn't know to kill him before he added more. There might be new guys as Elims, but I don't want us to be thinking that they must be Elims. There's other options out there. Happy Birthday Flash! And the bouncing pony was gone, leaving an annoyed Prism standing over Razor Shard. He didn't know her that well, but she didn't really seem like the type to get upset so easily. She forgave him after he didn't attend her party after all, so why was she so upset about him being attacked? Maybe she just really didn't like being interrupted? Well, he figured he'd only known her for a few days, so there was probably plenty that he didn't know yet. But now that the strange pony was gone... actually, make that both strange ponies were gone. At some point the poetic one had wandered off somewhere. Well he didn't know what was up with that. Maybe Prism knew the guy? Regardless, Razor Shard got to his hooves, a little wobbly. "Hey, you don't have to mind too much. I don't know what was up with that pony, but I'm fiiiiiii..." As he stood fully, suddenly everything started to spin and spiral down into blackness. He distantly felt his head hit something hard and could make out the faint sight of cobblestones. Oh right, head knocked into the ground, that could cause a head inju- Blackness 2

There might be new guys as Elims, but I don't want us to be thinking that they must be Elims. There's other options out there. Yeah, I'd almost argue the opposite. Someone on the Elim team must know that Joe is a potential threat and a good player, but he hadn't been posting enough to draw their attention if they didn't know his rep. Someone who's been playing at least a few games is likely to know that, but more importantly, someone in the Elim team usually ends up being the one the others look to for a decision, or at least the main candidates for things like the Elim kill kidnap. That someone is probably relatively experienced. The problem is there's too many people that could fit that criteria for it to be very helpful. I don't think that the fact that experienced players were kidnapped is going to help us, like you were saying (I think), so we need to look at other things to find suspects. I'll try to comb over the thread later and come up with some suspicions if I can.
Elithanathile he/him Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 You'd argue the opposite? I was arguing that it might be an experienced player or an inexperienced one. What's left? An AI? You seem to be saying that there is at least one somewhat experienced player in the Elims, which makes sense. We probably have only 4? Maybe, people who aren't that experienced. So unless the GM specifically put all inexperienced people there, there would be at least one experienced player. We can't judge our suspicions on their experienced, but by their actions. Which I think is what you were saying in your post. And on a separate topic, I know that we need to vote to kill someone this cycle, but after lynching an Element twice in a row, I know that I, at least, am a little wary of voting again. But I know that it needs to happen or we'll never win. So does anybody have suspicions for players that we could discuss?
Hemalurgic Headshot he/him Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Ironpies was yet again alone. But he didn't care. Solitude was best for the Master to contact him with the next task in his master plan. The cookies had failed. No one had noticed him, or had been too afraid to talk to him. Perhaps the spikes were too intimidating. 2

I was pretty sure you were arguing that the experience level of those kidnaped wasn't going to help us identify the Elims, and I was saying I agreed. I'm wary of the danger of lynching another Element holder, but the alternative is just as bad if not worse, so we have to do our best. Please, though, anyone with an a Element who is up for the lynch, defend yourself strongly!

But the first sentence of your post was, "Yeah, I'd almost argue the opposite." But then your post looked like it agreed, so I was confused. Actually I'm still confused. 1

You said people were saying that the Elims must be new. I was saying it was almost more certainly the opposite (that there were experienced players among the Elims). So I was arguing the "opposite" of what the majority of the other players were saying, at least according to your summary. Hopefully that's as clear as an ash-chocked canal...
BrightnessRadiant she/her Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 I agree that the ponies with elements should defend themselves as strongly as possible if they're voted on but remember not to be overly obvious because then the elims might figure out that you have an element and target you...just a warning to use discretion in how you defend yourself. I'm still trying to figure out who to blacklist, but I will try to vote soon. I will be busy tonight so not on too much possibly
Steeldancer he/him Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 I'm doing filming for a mutual video for church tonight, I won't be able to post much
Alvron Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 So, it seems that everyone is waiting on baited hoofs to see if anyone will claim to be the original holder of Generosity. Well wait no longer for it was I, Twilight Star, that started with Generosity. And as proof, I reveal that it was to Seeing Eye (@Seonid) that I passed it to who has hopefully passed it on. I was hoping that another would try and claim but sadly that doesn't seem very likely. 4
Ecthelion III he/him Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Crescent Thunder tried to seem as innocuous as possible standing around near the buffet, one eye open for Twilight Star. He was starting to get worried when-- CRASH! He heard a loud thump originating from where he was just standing a few moments ago. He saw Prism looking rather annoyed and concerned, and a large black mass lying next to her---wait, was that Sword-Pony? Cursing his luck for leaving the area near Twilight Star again, he wandered back to Prism. "Dost thou think it would be advisable to transport this afflicted pony to a physician, milady?" he asked gently. "I will gladly assist you." Edited May 31, 2017 by Ecthelion III 1
Seonid he/him Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 I will confirm that I received generosity last cycle, and have passed it on to a player who i won't reveal, due to the fact that he still has it. Next cycle, they can confirm that I had it and passed it to them.
Alvron Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 Halfway through the cycle so let's have a Vote Tally:Nothing Hmm, no votes at all. Guess I'll kick it off.Hemalurgic_Headshot. Why so quiet? If fact, you haven't voted at all this game which seems very out of character for you. 2
Herowannabe he/him Posted June 1, 2017 Author Posted June 1, 2017 The write-up for the cycle is now up. 1

I went to the zoo yesterday with my family, and then tried to simultaneously participate to an extent in the LG, and it scattered my brains. In more serious matters, I do need to vote. Alv, I think you are Village because of the Generosity pass, and Seonid as well for the same reason. I have good reason to suspect that Crimsn-Wolf is Village, Brightness is getting a Village vibe right now, Jon somewhat neutral. Bridge Boy is also neutral, but leaning gut-Elim. Ecth... I don't know. Ecth. I don't know where you stand, your posts have been rather vague, lots of RP. I would very much like it if you did some explaining. Don't take this as a malevolent accusation, rather a friend expressing concern that you are an evil being content with destroying the world. @Ecthelion III
Ecthelion III he/him Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 @Hemalurgic_Headshot To be honest I haven't been paying all that much attention to the strategy of this game. I'm a vanilla role with no PMs and we haven't killed any elims yet, giving us very little to go off of. After I finish homework I'll do some analysis.
