Elenion he/him Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Boris woke up to a horrible sight. Out of the narrow window, he could see Booken's body tied to a pole, face bloodied. That surely wasn't something you saw every day. Then a wave of nausea hit Boris, and as he leaned back in bed his head hit something hard. A bottle of cheap gin. That explained everything. Boris allowed himself to fall back to sleep, paying no more thought to the dead man, or to the shift that he was missing. Those could wait. *** Hmm... right now I'm suspicious of Stick, because I think that Orlok is village for reasons I specified yesterday, meaning that if my gut is right, both PK and Orlok were village. That's the possibility that Stick left off of her list of possibilities yesterday. Also, I don't think a Hazekiller blocked the Elim-kill, because Hazekiller isn't a very powerful role, so any Hazekiller who did perform a roleblock N1 doesn't have much reason not to announce their action and target to the thread. I find it more likely that the elims chose not to put in a kill to either deprive us of information, or to ensure that all players at least had the chance to experience one day cycle.

TheMightyLopen he/him Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Okay, only about 15 minutes left, but I wanted to say, if you don't have anything to do, you could at least order one of the 2 metals available to give to a player with that ability later(specifically, getting a lot of pewter vials for Thugs would really help us up our chances of them blocking an elim attack on themselves). I don't have much to say about the PK lynch, because I haven't really had the time to go over things. I don't have many suspicions or trusts yet either. I'll try and get more involved next Cycle, if I'm still alive.
Seonid he/him Posted June 3, 2017 Author Posted June 3, 2017 This cycle is over! Day 2 will be up shortly.
Seonid he/him Posted June 3, 2017 Author Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) Day 2: Shipping Disputes Beet Asper was annoyed. His contact hadn't showed in days. Lord Ruler, what did it take to get reliable suppliers in this country town. It was almost like there was a manor-wide crackdown on Allomantic metals or something. He hated moving out here from Luthadel. But tonight, he was hopeful. Just maybe, his contact would show and he'd be able to get some metals for his buyers. They were almost starting to think he was holding out on them, and that certainly wouldn't be healthy. And when you'd been around as long as he had, you learned to value your health. A dark shape moved under the nearby tree. Beet almost jumped, before realizing that he was waiting for just that sort of thing. He called out. "Lord Ruler, man. You nearly killed me. Maybe give a guy a little warning next time before you just sneak up on him." The plain looking man stepped out of the shadows. "Only almost? Pity. Guess I'll have to try again." His hand flickered and something glinted. Beet had just enough time to realize that it wasn't his contact before the glass dagger took him in the throat. As he gasped his last breaths, his killer walked over, joined by another figure, hooded and cloaked. "Sloppy work. You might have given our whole operation away." The first assassin might have said something back to defend himself. But if he did, Beet Asper never knew. ------------------------------------------ Day 2 has begun! It will end at 10:30 PM, Mountain Daylight Time, June 4th. Beet Asper (Ornstein) was killed! They were a Metallurgist! Player List: Marv (Hemalurgic_Headshot) Barry Allen (The Flash) Jeff (Manukos) - short for Jeffonimo Lance (Ecthelion III) - The Second Nameless Booken (Paranoid King) - a victim of the "common word + en" method of naming Village Seeker Garshin (Yitzi2) Ribis (cloudjumper) - the bored second son of a noble from the Remote Dominance Stick McStick (_Stick_) Remart (Jondesu) Beet Asper (Ornstein) - an old timer who knows his stuff Metallurgist Locke Tekiel (OrlokTsubodai) - a scion of a well - respected noble house Absolen (StrikerEZ) - a skaa worker in the Conrad fields Jay (DroughtBringer) - a blind young man attempting to keep his blindness a secret Boris (Elenion) - a guard known for laziness and general apathy Hadrian Penrod (Araris Valerian) - hoping to ascend to Ruin Mehir (Metacognition) - a mute and paranoid guard Cluny (Cluny the Scourge) - a man who believes he is a rat with a spearhead on his tail Valbar (TheMightyLopen) - who always gets ignored despite his large stature Mila (BrightnessRadiant) - a girl from the country Sorren Karidor (Dalinar Kholin) - an old guard who's been here longer than any of you whippersnappers Argyle (Sart) - a very clumsy man Edited June 3, 2017 by Seonid 6
StrikerEZ he/him Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Ugh, we lost a metallurgist. That really sucks. And what does the RP part about there being two killers mean? That two elims tried to kill the same person? Or can the elims only do one kill collectively? Sorry, I forget how elim killing works. Honestly, this was kind of shocking for me. Not quite what I expected. I'll get back on later once I've slept and thought about this.

Just a rule of thumb - in my games, the writeup doesn't actually convey any reliable information. If you want to know the GM-confirmed information - look for the stuff under the dotted line. Or, to use another analogy. My writeups have the same relationship to what actually happened that Star Wars Legends has to the new!Canon. 1

My writeups have the same relationship to what actually happened that Star Wars Legends has to the new!Canon. Ah, okay. Makes more sense. Sorry, I didn't get very much sleep last night, and I had a long day (even with it being summer).
TheMightyLopen he/him Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Well that's sad for Ornstein. :/ And for us, since we need a Metallurgist to get metals for our Allomancers. I'm hopeful that there's another one out there though. Seonid, am I right in assuming that was the eliminator kill at least? Like, will you differentiate between the Venture kill, Coinshot/Mistborn kill? It appears to have been the Venture kill(multiple killers), so I'll assume that it is unless Seonid says otherwise. It's kind of an odd kill, and I feel like they probably wouldn't knowingly kill a Metallurgist already. It's possible I suppose, but kind of ruthless, considering that the Metallurgist only needs to survive to win, and if they knew he was a Metallurgist, it seems like they'd try to work with him to poison a villagers vial. It seems more like a "let's kill a semi-active/inactive to not give the village any information" kill to me. Anyways, I will do my absolute best to look over Day 1 and it's posts tomorrow, and hopefully find something useful from PK's lynch(considering the amount of votes piled on him, we definitely had some eliminator voting, though the circumstances might make it extra difficult to tell them apart from the village voters).
Steeldancer he/him Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Are you kidding me *facepalm* this is why I mentioned earlier the possibility of the metallurgists just speaking up and saying who they are! The other one, I would highly recommend encouraging both us and the elims to not kill you. Because otherwise, no more metals. Now I have been waiting to start this train. I would like to vote cluny . His posts have been very suspicious. He is suspicious of me, but when asked to explain his suspicions he doesn't respond. Furthermore, I saw that for extended lengths of time, he was looking through the thread. He could have responded, which would have reduced my suspicions. But he has not, and unless he does, my vote stays on him.
Dalinar Kholin Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Sorry guys, my computer spontaneously fried itself, it looks like I'll be borrowing families for the rest of the time, that combined with finishing up farmwork/spraying/replanting because of all this dang rang has kept me offline. I promise to be more involved @Lopen @Jondesu What has been so suspicious about Cluny's posts? (I'm still working my way back through the past couple of days). I agree with Lopen, looking through day one at PK's death is about the only information we have (losing a seeker is rough, I doubt they knew, but if the Venture's have a mistborn/seeker they could have gotten lucky).
Stick. she/her Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Rip, Metallurgist. The elims are one annoying group this game >> We don't have nearly enough information. They'll probably go for @Dalinar Kholin or @DroughtBringer next. Try to post, please? We want useful information from your deaths We need more discussion and the village to be as active as possible. Now that I think about it, they might go for Orlok next, since he's the closest to a confirmed villager. PK expressed suspicion on Lopen and Flash. I'm already wary of Flash, and I don't think Lopen has done anything suspicious. Now, PK said that all this Bronze vials were stolen. Did this mean they were stolen by a thief, or like, one of the effects of detainment? Quote Captain: During the Night Turn, you may detain one player. This detention is publicly announced at the start of the next Day Turn, and you are told what metal vials this player possessed. A detained player cannot take any action, and their metal vials are removed from the game. If you detain a Metallurgist, then the Metallurgist cannot provide metal vials during the next Cycle. Of the players who voted on PK, these are the ones who voted on him before Orlok role-claimed: Orlok, Flash, Cloud, PK. Players that voted after: Stick, Len, Meta, Sart, Ecth, BR, Striker, Araris, Manukos, HH. I think we should keep an eye on the players who voted after the role-claim, but...sigh yeah we didn't really get much info from PK's death with nearly everyone casting their votes on him :[ Ninja'd by dalinar
Steeldancer he/him Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) Yes but PK also said he wanted to clear me, stick. The only reason he didn't is because I am new. And dalinar, I would note the unfounded accusations and changes to his one post that cluny made. I'm ok with being voted on, if they have good reason to do so. I also appreciate having a discussion about why they think I'm suspicious, such as the one I had with Orlok due to some somewhat hyperbolic language I used. However Cluny only said that I had a "weak defense." I asked him more recently why he still suspects me, after I put up a much larger defense. I saw him read the thread, yet he did not comment either way. I want answers. If he would like to explain his suspicions properly, I will retract my vote, like I said before. And mind you, I would due this to any person who put up unsubstantiated accusations up, and failed to ever address why they said so. That feels extremely elim to me. Quick question for seonid: wouldn't a rioter reveal themselves automatically if they riot after voting? Their name would no longer be in the list of people who voted on who, while the target would be moved. That seems pointless. Because then you are exposed. Edited June 3, 2017 by The Flash
BrightnessRadiant she/her Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Okay, so no metallurgist is bad for both sides, right? I think I agree with Lopen that it seems like an elim attempt to hit a semi inactive player so as not to provide us with any information. If the metallurgist is neutral than he could have been very useful to the elims as well if they could get him on their side. This really does lower the villagers potential for using their powers though...so maybe they do have a seeker who got lucky as Dalinar mentioned. I'm trying to figure out where to go from here, but I need to read back through the thread to get a better feel for what's been said so far in this game. I will be back with a hopefully more helpful post and probably some RP. I just wanted to check in real quick to let y'all know I'm not absentee in this game lol...just trying to balance two SE games and rl.
manukos he/him Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 so , now that i haven't posted too late i would like to get the block train running if you think it is a good idea , blocking randomly won't work becase after a succesful block i am out , but if weagree on a suspicious person and he agrees not to use sis ability this night , i can verify it , hmmm now that i think about it , less people using abilities could cost us some hints , so i don't know , i would like to here your opinion on the matter however as for voting i do not think anyone is acting espicialy suspicious so i'll hold my vote for now

Can't have; seekers in this game only tell what power was used the previous cycle, so night 0 it would be useless in any case. (Otherwise, Booken would have been much less suspicious, as there's no way an elim seeker would be the one to send in the kill if he could use his power instead.) Regarding the impact of losing a metallurgist: On the one hand, powers generally favor the village because there are more villagers and therefore more villagers with powers. On the other hand, the elims are less likely to have to worry about metals, since their hazekillers can order and transfer to teammates more reliably than village hazekillers.
TheMightyLopen he/him Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 We need more votes people! I'm still working on getting some analysis done of the Day 1 voters, but I'll stick a vote on Stick for now. She did some analysis about Day 1, and which group she thought was more suspicious, but then she didn't put a vote on anyone. Kind of feels like she doesn't want put her neck on the line by voting first. Obviously, there's a lot of targets in the group you mentioned Stick, but you could have picked whoever you were most suspicious out of that group.

I often, as a villager, don't vote early until I have a clear read. Leaving aside the advantages in terms of meta (planning ahead for games where I am an elim), I prefer to let someone with a better read do the early-game determination (I am very weak at early-game reads, and in fact at reads in general except when they come from a PM).
Ecthelion III he/him Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 Scadrial. The site of his brother-in-arms' death. Granted, he wasn't directly in Tyrian Falls--it had been Fifth's assignment to go there and recover the ring. The package containing the ring had reached First before Fifth went rogue, thank goodness. He tapped his own ring. This was how he knew all of that: direct communication with PRIME through it. There was a drawback, of course; the ring couldn't ever be taken off. Nor, he had learned, could it be broken, chipped, or affected by magic. This was meaningless to him. PRIME had commanded he wear the ring, so that's what he did. The grey stone set into the ring pulsed briefly, and a voice spoke in his head. "HOW ARE THINGS ON THE SURFACE?" "Fine, sir," he replied to the air. "A metallurgist has died, I haven't seen any of Ventures. No sign of Fifth, either." "THE VENTURES ARE OF NO CONCERN TO ME. IT IS FIFTH YOU SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON." "Yes, sir, I'll remember that." "IT IS RATHER A SHAME THAT THERE MIGHT NO LONGER BE A METALLURGIST AROUND." Second chuckled. "HOWEVER, AS WE BOTH KNOW, YOU HAVE NO NEED FOR SUCH PUNY MATERIALS. YOU HAVE MUCH GREATER TOOLS AT YOUR DISPOSAL." Second fingered the bright silver sword-coin in his cloak pocket. "Yes, my lord." 1

I think she was just planning to go read up on us, the people who voted after the role claim, before she decided who she wanted to vote as an elim. The fact that you'd vote on her simply for deciding to go do some research before she votes seems a bit fishy to me. Heck, everyone before her didn't vote either, including me, but you didn't deem any of them suspicious. That seems kind of fishy to me. 7 minutes ago, Ecthelion III said: Scadrial.

Ecthelion III he/him Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) I'll be like JK Rowling at the beginning of a Harry Potter book. The Second Nameless entered his room, removed his black cloak, and immediately sat down and began composing a letter. He did all this rather stiffly; some might think him overly formal, but that's just the way his kind was. There were five of his kind, to be precise. The Nameless. He couldn't remember where he came from except for vague images. His true memory began with PRIME. PRIME. Lesser mortals might shudder at the title. PRIME was an all-powerful being located somewhere in the cosmos, and the Nameless were his agents, each bound to Him by an indestructible ring. It was the goal of the Five Nameless to do whatever, wherever PRIME demanded. Only three of the Nameless remained: "Third" was killed by a rogue Hemalurgist when trying to form alliances on Scadrial in the village of Tyrian Falls, and "Fifth" had been deployed on the planet Roshar when suddenly, inexplicably, he had lost connection with PRIME. Gone rogue. It was the mission of The Second Nameless to search the Cosmere and kill him before things got out of hand. His kind had special capabilities as well: access to the magical art of Soulbinding, and certain...unique pieces of equipment. Like the coin in his cloak. The Second Nameless finished the letter and put his pen down, smiling. It was time to make a deal with the devil. Edited June 4, 2017 by Ecthelion III 1
