Long Game 34: Allomancer

[Steeldancer he/him]

So why did you detain me orlok? And the elims must have killed Lopen. He was my best bet for a villager darn it. And if orlok didn't detain me, who did? 

Ok, you know what? All cards on the table. I'm the Village Mistborn. I burned steel this last turn to kill Cluny, because I don't trust him with a spike, (and I kind of wanted to try hemalurgy/allomancy duality). I think Orlok is elim. He is a captain, and he's been acting suspicious. Whoever detained me is the bane of the village. I hadn't burned anything yet, so they couldn't have known that I was mistborn. But I AM. And now I have no metals. I need metal; I would hugely appreciate steel and pewter being passed my way. StrikerEZ, the elims will definetly want to kill me. We need to stop them. If we lynch orlok and if I could get some pewter and get protected by iron, I might survive this. I wanted a PM so badly because I need metals. And now I need them even more. Please guys, believe me, and focus on lynching Orlok today. The elims almost definetly have a captain. And only the elims would have killed Lopen this time, because he looked village. I didn't get a PM created by stick, which makes me suspicious. Unfortunately, we need to focus on Orlok. He is the greatest threat to me, and I am the greatest asset to the village (when I have metals again). Thief, if you work with us, I promise I will help you. If you pass some metals my way, or something, I will do my best to protect you. Please don't let me die. I will prove my worth to the village. If you pass me whatever metals, I'll burn them and prove that I am a mistborn.

I havent read any of the posts yet -I'm kind of in a hurry- but @The Flash sorry about the lack of PM. I usually send in my orders this game when I'm in school; a few hours before rollover (probably not the best idea). I forgot I didnt have school today, thus didnt really send the pm order. Really sorry :/

Huh okay just caught up with last night's thread. I'm down with lynching  Orlok today. Now that Flash has revealed his role [which I think was totally the right thing to do, btw. The elims probably know now, as detainment informs them of what metals their target possessed. Considering the captain who detained Flash is an elim, of course, which I think is the case, here], I say we should have someone burn Iron on him. Someone who isn't Striker, as I suspect they'll have their captain detain them. If the captain in question isn't Orlok, it's likely the elims are trying to frame him. But as I said, I'm fine with lynching Orlok today. @The Flash did you use Tin and/or Bronze on anyone in the past night turns? If yes, if you found anything suspicious, please say so. We could use that info. @seekers, @tineyes, if you've found anything suspicious-worthy, and if you have a PM with someone you trust, I'd advise you to tell them of what you found so that they could pass that info on to the thread. Maybe we can work something out with the results, then.

No. Trying to burn Steel was the first thing I've done. I wasn't sure who to target, and I didn't have a lot of metals to waste. I only had one of each type after all.

Oh, makes sense. Kind of frustrating now that all your vials are gone :P

 

[StrikerEZ he/him]

Hah! I knew I was right to suspect Orlok!

Or, at least, kind of. As of right now, it seems like Orlok is the most likely to be the one at fault, but I was almost starting to get a village read on him after I voted for him the last day turn. Actually, it doesn't even make sense that, if Orlok was an elim, that they would have him detain someone, which would draw unwanted attention to him, if he didn't explain his detainment and/or explained it suspiciously. It makes more sense for Orlok to be a village captain, and the elims actually do have a captain of their own, and they're just framing Orlok. Or maybe that's the exact strategy they'd know we come up with, and Orlok actually is an elim, and they still had him detain Flash. Ugh, I'm not sure what to do about this. If you truly are Mistborn @The Flash, which I believe you are because I've been getting a solid village read from you, then this is not okay. @_Stick_ we really need those PMs ASAP. Of course, I'm kind of suspicious of you, but that's just a gut feeling not really based on anything.

EDIT: @OrlokTsubodai Hey, if you were the one who detained Flash, now would be a good time to come out and say it so we can confirm whether or not Flash was Mistborn.

Well now that I've revealed my role, I might as well do RP. 

His metals had not protected him. They had been taken from him. 

And in the jail, he remembered the night he snapped. 

House Allen burning. His wife screaming. Watching his parents die...

And he had snapped. And what did he do? 

He had run. Ran away from his dying family. Run so fast with some latent pewter that had been in his system. 

It was the true reason he had been hired. Barry Allen was a mistborn. But for what? 

He sat in the jail, fuming. He knew that the captain was Venture. He would have revenge for that night. As soon as he got out, they had better beware. 

Because the Mistborn was ready to rain down judgement upon the Ventures like one of the ashmounts. 

Edit. StrikerEZ, I'm still a mistborn lol. It's not "was" a mistborn, it's "am" a mistborn. And I'm pretty sure the captain was not expecting to catch a mistborn when they detained me. 

Also to confirm me a mistborn, just send me a metal. Any metal you want. Anybody. And ill be able to burn it. I don't have any spikes at the moment.

Yeah. For now, I'll hope you are village. Do the village a favor and scan me during the night. I'll show up as not being a hemalurgist, and therefore if I burn two metals, I'm confirmed mistborn.

Ugh I so did not want to reveal my role. I intended to lie about it to keep the elims off of my back. But right now, this is the best bet for success. I might not survive this game, because the elims will kill me as soon as possible. But I'm not going down without a fight.

They sort of had to, since it would have been more suspicious if he didn't (a second time) after I asked him to.

[Steeldancer he/him]

@OrlokTsubodaiI see you lurking. Care to tell us if you detained me? Care to lie and say I'm not a mistborn? Or perhaps maybe say you didn't do it? If you're a villager I would imagine you would feel bad about detaining me. Especially as it would be revealed to you that I am a mistborn... And it's unlikely that the elims will have mistborn. It seems OP. 

If I had tin I could see if you targeted me last turn...

[Jondesu he/him]

Wow, this makes for quite the turn of events.  The Elims continue to be unpredictable, which sucks, and makes things harder for us, but then…

Flash, what a reveal.  If you're telling the truth, that is a big deal, but you also just painted a target on your back for sure. Except, now you don't have any metals… ugh.  I was convinced of Orlok's innocence before, and I still want to be, so I'm going to wait until he posts (hopefully) before I vote, but this detainment is certainly at the very least unlucky.

That said, if Orlok didn't know you were Mistborn, Flash, then I don't see any ill intent.  I was and still am suspicious of you, though if you genuinely are Mistborn, I agree that it's very unlikely that there would be a Venture Mistborn (though if the others were all Hazekillers, or if there's a smaller than normal team, it's possible Seonid would do that and still keep the game balanced).  It's still possible this is another case of a villager detaining another villager, and one of them getting lynched, just like our first day.  It's worrying, but I don't know that I think it's more likely that Orlok is Elim than that he simply misjudged you, Flash.

Well if he's a villager, he would speak up. He would say "I had no idea. Here, have this metal vial so we can confirm you're a mistborn."

I'm aware I've painted a large target. But if the captain is an elim who detained me, then the elims already know. I might as well expose myself. I can't really die until the night turn, and hopefully I can get useful information for the village before I die. 

This is my plan: I want a steel vial. Even if I die tonight, maybe I can take an elim out with me. If someone could protect me, that would be fantastic. The elims will be willing to spend their resources in order to get rid of me. They might even Hazekill me tonight, so keep an eye out for that. The people I'm most suspicious of are Elenion, Brightness, Orlok, Cluny, and Manukos (mainly he just confuses me). Brightness, your conversation with Lopen is somewhat incriminating in terms of his now being dead. Elenions mysterious knowledge of the spikes is also mysterious, and he freaks me out. Orlok said he is the captain, but I'm concerned that he revealed that just to try and clear himself. It's also weird that Lopen and I were targeted in the same turn, given both our general village vibe. Why not detain someone more suspicious? Like Cluny, who still also is just giving me elim vibes in every post. I can afford to be frank, because I'm going to die anyway, probably within the next two cycles. Might as well do as much as I can. 

I thought this morning briefly about waiting for someone to claim detaining me, but decided I need to get as much support as I possibly can. I'm not lying guys. And when I die, as the elims WILL kill me eventually, you will see that I am a house conrad mistborn. And part of the reason I had such a good day when this game started was because I'm a mistborn! I kind of nerded out a bit.  any way I hope that my last day and night are productive. And perhaps that as much as possible of the elims resources will be used up killing me. 

Edit: or you know, elims, you could just not use your resources. You could leave me alone. Please do that. Please *evil grin* I promise I'll make your deaths painless. As painless as a coin through the eye socket can be.

Well, I have to say that I am rather disappointed in the votes this cycle. Three votes on somebody with a helpful role because they targeted a suspicious person with their ability? Especially early in the cycle before there has been any time for said person to hear what has been said about them?

Also, Flash, while you can afford to be frank, the only people that can afford to believe you are the Venture Agents, since only they can be confident that you aren't on their team.

I'm going to vote on _Stick_ since he isn't frustrated like Flash is, and thus should have thought through his vote better. He was also part of the pointless bandwagon on Dalinar last cycle.

Wait, you were giving general village vibe?  Since when? I think only Lopen said that, and several others (including me) have been saying we're thinking you're a little suspicious.  Putting that into your post sounds like trying to make yourself sound already cleared, which just sets off alarm bells to me.  Your little back and forth with Cluny is suspicious to me too, as if you're playing off each other and trying to make it obvious that you're not teammates, when you might both be.

You know what?  I don't believe you.  Until Orlok confirms otherwise, I don't even believe you're a Mistborn, and I don't think you're a villager.  I think you're a Venture Agent, Flash.  Never figured Barry Allen for the traitorous type, but I guess you wouldn't really think you were, just a spy doing his job.

Well my suspicions will be vindicated when I die and my alignment is revealed. I'm counting on that helping out my suspicions gain traction. And to be honest, yes I am frustrated and kind of flustered. Going from having 9 vials of metal (I had grabbed a pewter vial 2 nights ago) and feeling nigh all powerful to having nothing and feeling exposed and vulnerable? It's scary. And no. I haven't been suspicious. I have tried to encourage conversation, analyzing the thread, trying to somehow be helpful. Yes I talk a lot, but that's just who I am. And now I'm exposing myself to the elims. The elims know that I'm a threat to them. Perhaps I should just let myself die. At least then those who later read through will realize that my opinions were worth listening to. And you know what? Yes I have been going back and forth on cluny. But cluny made a good point a while ago- that he suspects you Jondesu. I ignored it, even counted it against him because you've agreed with my previous suspicions. But now that I think about it, perhaps I was (unintentionally) aligning my suspicions with the evil of a venture. But first I want to kill Orlok. If I die today... Well you'll all regret it. I am a mistborn. If I intended to lie about my role, I wouldn't take such a risk! This is my second game! I would claim to be a hemalurgist if I was lying at all. Because I'm not confident at all in my abilities to lie. My best weapons are the truth, even as an eliminator in the last game. I trust stick. I'm reasonably sure I can trust Meta. Other than that, now that Lopen is dead, I am surrounded by enemies who want me dead, and I have no Pewter to survive a lynch. If the captain who detained me would PLEASE speak up, that would be fantastic.

I trust Flash, I think I'll join Araris on Stick for the reasons he mentioned.

[Steeldancer he/him]

Barry left the jail trepidatiously. All eyes were on him. He had just confessed to being a mistborn. He had panicked, and all his metals were gone. 

And the Ventures knew he was telling the truth. He was a Mistborn. Riding the lines of blue, master of emotions, with enhanced strength and senses... all were his. But not for much longer. By exposing himself, he had condemned himself. He could sense the Venture eyes in the crowd, hoping to destroy the last of House Allen. 

Barry was scared. As scared as the night that he had snapped. He could not afford to waste what limited time he had. He needed metals. And if nothing else, he needed to write. Write down exactly who was being suspicious, and leave it behind for those loyal guards that were left. Perhaps they would be able to use his notes to take out his eternal enemies. 

"Soon, I will be with you again" Barry whispered, gripping the worn piece of a beautiful dress in his pocket. This thought brought a measure of peace to him. If he could die protecting Lord Conrad, that would be a worthy death. And then he could finally join his wife. 

He also remembered the once and only time he had tried atium. Oh, that moment had been transcendent. A metal like no other. Sadly, his guard pay did not earn enough to buy atium in any amount. And he already knew his future. He would die by Venture hand. Or the Ventures would convince the rest of the guards that he was lying. 

He fingered his glass knife as he walked into his barrack. And for the first time in a year, alone in more than one way, Lord Barry, last of House Allen, wept.

@Jondesu: I don't see any reason to vote on Flash. It's his second game, he got a cool role, and he's frustrated that he can't use it. I think that's all this situation boils down to. The people trying to take advantage of it are the ones that I'm suspicious of, you included.

@The Flash: Just because you are village doesn't mean that your opinions are right. It just means they aren't biased against the village. I believe that you are mistborn, since if Orlok or a village captain did detain you, it would be easy for him to say that you didn't have all the vials like a mistborn should.

Though since I was the one who started it, should I really be called someone who was part of the bandwagon? Also, as I said before, I didn't really expect anyone else to vote on Dalinar when I cast my own vote.

If what you say is right, I think what happened was that Orlok detained him. Now, Flash knows he's been outed Mistborn by a villager and decides to role claim in-thread before Orlok does, to give a village vibe, and is now trying to get Orlok lynched? He also might not be entirely truthful about his past uses of metal vials. If he really is an elim, I don't see a reason why he'd want to share his seeker/tineye action results, which he claims not to have taken. Keeping this scenario in mind, the elims must've killed off Lopen last night because he said he had a village read on the Flash? An attempt to make the village think the killed him off because he was getting the right vibes when he wasn't? Tbh, I'd been getting an elim vibe from Flash the past cycle, but I'm kinda leaning village, rn. And the attempted attack on Cluny was kind of random, imo, a little too random for an elim to claim to have done and admitted to do in-thread? And the fact that he kept asking for PMs is villager-y. Also, I dont think he's faking his frustration and annoyance on losing his vials and being detained. This really all depends on what @OrlokTsubodai has to say about this; whether he really was the captain who detained Flash or not. Also, Orlok -I have actions I need to take and therefore won't vote unless it's really necessary or unless I change my mind about taking said action.
