He's also made (at least) two group PM's, one with the players with prime numbers, and one with the players with fibonacci numbers (which I previously wrongly attributed to straw). ninja'd by a stick Edited June 25, 2017 by randuir 1
BrightnessRadiant she/her Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) @_Stick_ @randuir haha never mind then lol So hmm has he even been online recently? He's not the only person who's been inactive. So why would he be your main suspicion? Edit: I have 13 hours to go back through the thread and I'm still lacking a full post of suspicions lol...so I'll definitely be considering others before the cycle ends. Edited June 25, 2017 by BrightnessRadiant
DeTess she/her Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 He has been online, given that he has responded in QF 24 a couple of hours back (15 hours, to be precise). Like I said, this is a very slim lead, but his relative inactivity after asking someone else to be more active (which an elim might do to appear to be helping, though it's by no means alignment indicative one way or the other) and the random PM's (which where apparently a good enough reason for some to start lynching Straw ). There are some other people (Elbereth and maybe Wilson come to mind, as both have made substantial posts) I might be able to form an opinion on if I took the time to go through their posts with a fine comb, but right now I don't have the time nor the mental power for it. I should have that by next cycle though.
Elenion he/him Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 8 pages of discussion. 8 pages. Ain't nobody got time to read that! (But I did anyway.) I'm going to put my vote down on Straw to avoid alienating any Neutrals and because that's where STINK's vote is at, and STINK is reading village to me in PMs. I just spent most of my SE time writing an RP post for LG34.
Seonid he/him Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Also, this is par for the course behavior for Stink too, just in case anyone was curious. Or perhaps it's a reversion to an earlier playstyle (if things changed while I was out...)
BrightnessRadiant she/her Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 @randuir yeah it's annoying when players go inactive for a while after asking others to participate. I think I'll have the time so I'll try to get a suspicions post up for everyone else. @Seonid hey I wanted to be the 200th post lol
Straw he/him Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 @Elenion So, your only reasons for voting on me are that I'm not a neutral, and that STINK voted on me? Also, Joe to STINK.
STINK he/him Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 hey guys dont forget to roleclaim to me in your pms
StrikerEZ he/him Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 So, I'm gonna do some RP first, then I'll finally go back and analyze everything (which is gonna be a pain). As of right now, Straw seems very suspicious to me. Darius walked past several Friends of the ABC members helping organize and set up the barricade, but he decided to go to another section of the barricade where it seemed far weaker and help out any other rioters there. On his way there, he could've sworn that he saw a girl staring at him very intently, though she could've just been staring at any number of the other men helping out with the barricade. It was quite unnerving, to say the least. He decided to wave to her and see whether or not she was staring at him. Even though he was a tough fellow on the outside, he tended to have a funnier, and sweeter touch to him on the inside. He figured that if the girl wasn't staring at him, waving at her couldn't be too awkward, though it would be a little awkward. He turned back around, getting back to work on the barricade. He managed to accidentally poke himself with a sharp nail and let out a very undignified yelp. Now he wished he hadn't drawn the attention of the girl. @BrightnessRadiant I didn't know if Darius was the dark figure or not, so I just went with this idea. Also, I'm really bad at RP. 1
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Haha, wow. A lot happaned while I slept. I love it. Yes, I am the convict, I have been claiming convict to several people (Straw, radiant, lopen, drake, amanuensis, brightness, rae, haelbarde, orlok, my ward) in order to find eliminators. Did I have any intention of joining the elim team? No. Of helping them? Yes. Just as much as I planned to help the village. Wilson said it best. I play for a good game, not a guaranted win. So, there's only one vote on me now, and it happens to be the person I most want dead. Randuir, as many people have said, I'm not village. I don't need to work with you. I was going to, but you're encouraging me to only work against you. I don't like it when a faction tries to force all neutrals to work with them. It makes for an agravating game with bitter players. Now then I do fully intend to continue to look for eliminators to help out both teams. If anyone wants to contact me, I will not reveal your alignmemt to anyone else. To everyone who I asked for help in finding the PO, thank you, but I don't think it matters now. See you all in pms! 1
DrakeMarshall he/him Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Hmmmm... So I think I mentioned earlier that a convict claim has a lot of fascinating implications. Obviously a real convict would have reason to claim convict... But it's also a great hiding place for elims and the parole officer. So... Joe could definitely be the convict claiming truthfully... But he might not be. I think there's a risk that he's just an elim playing for protection as a neutral. The convict is a great choice to hide as. Nobody really wants to lynch a real convict, and the parole officer isn't hardly going to argue with a fake convict claim because it just makes their job easier. Point is, it's very plausible that an elim could think up this lie. It's a pretty easy and profitable lie to claim a neutral role, and there are plenty of reasons the real convict might not counterclaim (one of them being that the real convict is already working with the elims). To be safe, I say we go through with lynching Joe. Worst case scenario, he's a neutral. Oh well. Best case scenario, he's an elim, and we just foiled a plan to avoid an elim ever being lynched.

Orlok Tsubodai Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 I've had this post ready to send for a few hours, but have been saying goodbye to El, who is now going back to the US. I'm sure none of you will be too surprised if I express an interest in keeping Joe alive until he's used up his protection on Cosette or myself, should he be the Convict. As a neutral player, it's entirely unsurprising that he's trying to get in contact with the eliminators - indeed, I wouldn't mind a PM with them. We aren't villagers, and aren't working against the village, but need to balance support for both factions. Lynching us for the only sensible move we can make will alienate the other neutral roles.
Straw he/him Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 2 hours ago, Straw said: First of all, you would want me alive because I'm a villager. Additionally, even if I'm not doing much, at least I'm doing something, if you want to lynch someone who isn't doing anything, I would suggest voting on STINK, who's provided even less useful material than I have. EDIT: Also, Rae, you might want to check the PM group you're in, if you do, you'll see that I had a discussion with Orlok. @Arraenae, could you please respond to the above post?
Amanuensis he/him Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 It's taking me a while to catch up, so I figured it'd be best for me to let people know I'm townreading Straw and I think lynching him is a very bad idea
Doc12 Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Do you hear the GMs groan? Crying the song of dying men It is the singing of two Shards Who cannot wait to see you die! As your laughter and your glee Drown our cries of frustration There is a life about to end When tomorrow comes! Will you please extend some mercy – spare us now, we beg of you! The day is still so young, and there is so much to read through! The blood of the players is needed to appease our wrath!!!!! Do you hear the people scheme? Scheming away with endless words It is the riot of a people With unlimited PMs! When the groaning of the Doc Echoes the cackling of the throng Let’s hope that death will shut them up When tomorrow comes!!!!!! 118 new PMs, guys >> 118 new PMs when I opened the Shard for the first time. Four pages of new PMs in my inbox, plus 9 pages of discussion. You guys are crazy. I love it 8
Arraenae Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 I've reread that group PM, and I don't feel that many particularly interesting things were said. Problem is, I'd rather not lynch a neutral just for being a neutral. I rather like the idea of working with them, and would prefer not to alienate them right off the bat. Can we have a vote tally please?

Orlok Tsubodai Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 I'm not doing serious analysis this game, but would question whether Randuir is acting in the village's best interest? His actions seem set pretty firmly on alienating neutral roles for something that makes sense for them to do, which is much more likely to come from an eliminator in my mind than a villager? Randuir is highly intelligent, and I don't see him not realising the impact his actions would have. Randuir.

I kind of want to lynch STINK for personal reasons, but of course that's not fair or ideal. Not sure how I feel about a Randuir lynch. I'll give thoughts on it when I finish reading.

Straw he/him Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) So, time to make some reads! STINK: I really don't feel like STINK is being really helpful to anyone, and he isn't really helping discussion, which is why I voted for him. Overall read: Chaos causing neutral. Elenion: Got on, voted for me, and left, seems pretty typical for him but still annoys me. Overall read: Possibly Elim, most likely bored village though. Araris: Voted for me early in the game, and left without explaining his vote. Overall read: Could be an Elim trying to make a bandwagon, could be a paranoid villager, or he could just be busy. Orlok: Claimed to be neutral, and is acting with utter neutrality. Overall read: Almost definitely neutral. Joe: Has been causing chaos because it's fun, also claimed to be a neutral. Anyway, he's trying to make the game fun, which is hard to be annoyed at. Overall read: Chaos causing neutral. Randuir: Something seems a bit odd about his posts, I don't know if I'm being irrational, but I'll definitely be watching him. Overall read: Suspicious, possibly an Elim. Arraenae: Is voting on me because I haven't done much to show my opinions. Well, I guess her wish is granted. Overall read: Probably villager. Drake: All I can remember about Drake's posts is that he's being odd and pessimistic. Oh well, don't lynch the pessimist I guess. Overall read: Probably village. If I missed doing a read on someone important to discussion, ask me to do a read on them and I'll put it in my next post. Edited June 25, 2017 by Straw
Amanuensis he/him Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Just hit page 7. I'm like 80% sure Rand isn't evil, so I wouldn't lynch him either.

We all would like it if you also included reasons for why you have this or that read. Do you mind at least saying "I feel it in my gut" or "I'll explain this in my wall of text later", if you won't say now?

I think it's pretty obvious given his reaction to Joe's PMs this game. I disagree with the mindset, but it's a villagers. I'd bet money on it. People I'd be willing to lynch: literally everyone who's voting for Straw + Brightness. I'll reread each player's posts in a bit and decide on one. EDIT: Also people who are saying they'd vote for Straw but haven't (Wilson and Stick come to mind). Edited June 25, 2017 by Amanuensis

Why is that? I don't have a strong opinion either way, tbh. If I had to say one way or the other, I'd be against his lynch, because he can be really helpful later on. Ninja'd by Rae asking the same question, but eh, I'll leave it. Gosh dang, I need to post faster. Ninja'd by Aman now too. Do you mean you'd lynch Brightness too? I kind of feel like she wouldn't vote on randuir if she was an eliminator(voting on a player like Rand D1 is risky). Although other than that, I haven't seen anything that makes me lean either way for her. Vote tally: Straw(4): Stink, Araris, Rae, Elenion Randuir(3): Brightness, Joe, Orlok Joe(2): Randuir, Drake Stink(1): Straw For as many posts as there are, I don't feel like we have a lot to go off of. :/ I agree with Wilson about Yitzi a bit, and I mentioned I'm a little suspicious of Stick. But I'm not very confident in either of those reads. Edited June 25, 2017 by TheMightyLopen fixed vote tally - added Orloks vote
