Long Game 36: State of Being

[Alvron]

Vote Tally:
Yitzi )1): Aster, Aonar
Straw (1): Alvron
Alvron (2): Yitzi, Mega, Araris, Sami
Manukos (0): Orlok, Road
Araris (0): Clanky
Cloud (2): Orlok, Yitzi, Aster
Drake (1): Brightness

Of those voted for, only Straw is yet to talk.  He was active enough to use his Mark and has been online but has chosen not to talk.  While my vote on him was a joke/poke, it's going to stay there until I here from him.

 It wouldn't be the worst reason people have used for lynching me.

What would be, then?

That I was being quiet which is my normal state.
That I was being more active than normal just after being lynched for being quiet.
Because I told a joke.

Yeah, I have been almost-lynched in what I think might be half of my games for giving honestly-intended-to-be-good advice that many people thought was bad, which is apparently my normal state.  (In one of those games I actually was an elim and lynched later on, but the advice was still meant to be good, to try to seem more village-y.)

 

It looks like the lynch is between Alvron and cloud.  And while I would rather get information on cloud's meta before voting, there's definitely more reason to vote for him than Alvron.  Cloud.

I am not going to vote cos I never vote the first cycle but I am suspicious of someone (dont remember the name , [edit : asterion]) for his/her reaction to ytzi 

Why don't you vote for them if you're suspicious?? hmmmmmm

No, I don't think I did say that, actually. 

At least, not in this game. I might have said something like that in a different game.

My bad @Drake Marshall Drake it was actually Manukos as quoted above oops. Sorry bout that.  

[Steeldancer he/him]

As little as I like the vote on cloudjumper , it is certainly a better lynch than alvron. I don't think I've ever actually played with alvron before lol. 

Whoa Insta ninjad by brightness

heh I'm good at being a ninja  lol

Also, why are y'all voting for Cloud again? Did he ask people to reveal their marks? If that's the case I'd think he's a villager and not an elim. If he's smart he wouldn't have suggested something that would make the village go lynch crazy on day 1. Something Lopen always tells me is, the villagers are more likely to give dumb plans than the elims.  (which is usually true because the elims think things through A LOT more before posting lol...plus they get advice from teammates a lot of times.) Just saying...I've got a bad feeling about this. (yes that was a Star Wars quote...you're welcome)

I'm going to switch my vote from Alvron to Straw. Inactivity/Lurking kills, you know.

This from the High Chief Lurker?

I think the cloud lynch makes sense, he has a few sentences that really trigger my bogey-sense, but I am not sure why.

[cloudjumper he/him]

Well I'll vote on Straw. Partly because he's been on this cycle but hasn't posted anything, partly out of self-preservation.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

But I make sure to post and contribute enough that people should be able to get reads on me. And I'm pretty good at responding when people ping me. I think I just have a reputation that far exceeds my actual tendencies.

I don't think you lurk so much as you're just... invisible. I can never get a read on you. You say stuff, and then I always end up focusing on another.

@Clanky Ecth is out right now, but I'm 95% sure that there is no vote minimum. He'll correct me if I'm wrong.

If there is only one vote required for a lynch plus ties are decided randomly then there is no way that there won't be a lynch this cycle as long as one single person decides to place a vote. Just keep that in mind anyone who is still unsure about Day 1 lynches

"Death of a god? Destruction of a realm!? Burning city! This sounds like the perfect time for SCIENCE!!" The yell from the man in the mangy lab coat caused several people to stop their arguing over who to kill long enough to give a quizzical look before continuing with their bickering.

Seeing this, Dr C took up his grand lecturing pose on top of a boulder, which was covered unmistakably in bird feces. This would have been obvious to anyone who was paying the least bit of attention to their surroundings. Unfortunately Dr C was not one to observe his surroundings and once again his great mind was tarnished in the view of others by his supreme incompetence.

"Yes now is the time for your lives and this whole world to be saved by the wonders of science. And I, Dr C, the greatest of all scientists shall this day be sciences champion!" 

The small delay that came next was unfortunate but necessary as it's tough to continue preaching while slipping on a newly deposited pile of bird poo and nearly falling off a boulder. Nonetheless nothing could stop the science from spreading, the speech must go on! (Or so thought the man in the tattered lab coat rambling on a poo covered boulder)

"How you ask will I endeavor to lead you all from this terrible danger? I shall begin using the most sacred tenant of the scientific method. Mysterious, amazing, yet still full of logic.... The Grant Application!!"

With that bold and awe-inspiring revelation the speech ended. Not because the doctor had run out of words but because as he reached into his pack and withdrew a stack of messy papers he simultaneously lost his battle with the slimy boulder. Slipping and sliding off the back of the stone and out of sight.

Quick thoughts:

1. Unless an item is specified as a "one-use item", it can be used more than once. Additionally, if an item has the "Day" or "Night" indicator, it requires an action to use.

2. Remember that you can leave your items to other players in your will for when you die. However, also remember that your will is read publicly.

3. There is no vote minimum.

Alvron. I am going to refrain from voting right now as I don't really see the point of lynching someone random.

Can we request that our items be randomly distributed?

For some reason I get a really weird feeling when you call me pal... like by requesting that I distribute my items randomly the whole universe will start to spontaneously combust...

[Ecthelion III he/him]

@The Flash You know, it comes with the job. Being the fourth wall-breaking voice in people's heads tends to unsettle them a bit. You mortals need to realize that just because I can combust the world doesn't mean I will combust the world.

[Steeldancer he/him]

Perhaps I need to take the Wayne way of getting voices out of my head

But if you can combust the world, why would you not combust the world?
