Quick Fix Game 25: A Sundered Sky

[Darkness Ascendant he/him]

@The Young Bard I was curious at how someone would respond to something like that Did as I expected, disappointingly . Alas it is hard to be surprised (and in a good way) in this day and age I'm kidding you did a wonderful job. 

--------------

 

Beleglared at the man.
He most definitely was NOT short. Unless. His mind was hazy….what had happened during Stasis...how long had it been...OMEGA….what…

He shook his head, it most certainly was clearer than it had been before the man bumped into him. He blinked quickly as the man began an energetic tirade at how much he had enjoyed what Belegaer had been saying. He ruffled his brow.

What had he been saying?

“Uhh..T-thanks...I guess”

He looked at the man...Melonin…Melatonin…He shook his head again

“I-I’m B-belagaer,” he managed to stammer out. “I...I don’t even know where I am, I woke up and I was s-sort of drawn to here, they told me I had s-signed up for this. I can’t remember a-anything”.

He stared blankly into space for a moment as the man waited patiently.
“I’m sorry, I should go...b-big day tomorrow eh?”.

Melonin seemed to remember himself, “Ah yes, I was just leaving myself, see you around!”

0600

Journal Entry 1

Training.

Nothing...nothing….

Can’t seem to remember much.

Two Deaths.

Kenara and Draen.

Arrow and blade.

Sharblade.

Didn’t know them

Their deaths seem important.

I don’t know how

Nothing….nothing….!!!!

GAH

---------------

Wew two deaths.
Don't know how I feel about that, I'm sort of out of everything, don't know what is going on...also haven't played SE in a while so forgive me for being a bit lost, lets see how long it takes for me to get into my gears.

I'm kinda dissapointed with my role  Just a New Recruit

Eh, Idk how to feel about

Well, I'm not certain but since it's an elim team we're talking about, I'd think it would be an idea for at least one to make an appearance early and try to get on the village side.

I could be totally wrong. I haven't played enough yet (3rd game). Just a thought that occurred so I mentioned it.

And I'm guessing no one's going to say they're an elim right 

  Reveal hidden contents

Okay. I got village (again, I havn't been an elim for maybe a year or so). Currently I'm waiting for more thread discussion to pop up. I'm kind of bored, so I'm prodding people to talk. I saw someone asking similar questions in the MU game, and I figured that it's better than awkward silence where everyone is waiting for others to speak so we have something to analyze.

That makes sense.

 

Messed up on the editing cuz phone.

Never played with them before, but elim read here. I'll be keeping an eye on you  

Will say more later maybe.

Melonin looked around, suddenly realizing that he had made a very, very bad choice in staying behind. One person tried to take charge, calling for pushups - Melonin moved away quickly from that person. Did he not just realize that someone had just died? (El - the writeup is unclear, but I get the sense that Hael's murder happened somewhere else, so Melonin isn't aware of it yet. Correct me if I'm wrong.) This wasn't the time for pushups! He sighed. "We're doing it all wrong." No-one heard him. No-one turned their heads, to listen to his words. How did the heroes do it, managing to effortlessly sway the crowds without even breaking a sweat?

Nope. Draen got shot with an arrow in the middle of everyone, and then Kenara went to look at him and died while kneeling over his body. 

[Stick. she/her]

Dan hangs back as the crowd erupts in chaos. Two dead. Dan figures this isn't common, by the reactions of others. Though it seems par for the course to Dan. But then again, the last few months of his life have been pretty weird, so maybe that's just him.

A short man tries to take command, yelling "Alright, you lazy bunch of meatbags, let's see if you can handle the stress of the navy. I want to see 50 pushups each!"

...right. Dan stays where he is. Two people dead, he thinks it's better to prioritise digging up the culprits than doing push-ups. Besides...Dan isn't sure if he can survive a single push-up with all his body parts intact.

Dan glances at the corpses, still slumped on the ground. Dan heard rumours about Draen's head's value. Should he take it? How unsettling... Hm. Maybe I'll come back here at nightfall, before they take the corpses away but after everyone here leaves, he decides.

So! First order of business: is this just El being a troll?

" Due to later game balance thoughts, the no-secret-alignment-or-role question is now a PAFO.  "

 

6 hours ago, Arraenae said:

The clarifications post, which now says that questions on secret roles or alignments is PAFO, was updated 8 hours ago, if it helps.

I remember reading the rule about secret roles being PAFO in the signups thread under 'Clarifications' about 11 hours before the game started.Never-mind this...

I like my role. It makes sense for me RP-wise. Alignment-wise, I'm a villager, just like everyone else wink wink nudge nudge.

Rae's posts till now seem NAI to me.

Rae outed me for hanging out on Discord She asked me my alignment, which is Squire, though of course I'd say that whichever I was. Also how I feel about it...pretty good, I guess?

*ba dum tss

This makes me suspicious for the reasons Drake has stated. I can confirm that I didn't get the word 'Squire' in my PM and think that an elim is more likely to phrase it this way than a villager? Tentative elim read.

I'm an elim! 

But wait, I quoted PK above and implied that I was village! Now y'all are confused and don't know what alignment I am for certain.  The answer is village though. I'm village. Though it doesn't hold water because everyone will say so.  

4 hours ago, Eternum said:

What's the plan here? We Europeans have a head start, it seems. There don't seem to be many clues, but the one we do have (Kenara getting murdered with a Shardblade wayyy faster than the eye can track) points towards Flash, as somebody else mentioned. I won't vote yet though, maybe there's something else.

The vote on Flash is probably just a poke-vote. The write-up's just RP. Besides, i doubt any of us killed Kenara, as Hael's murderer seems to be Alv...And they're both spectators so...and so is Wilson. So we don't really have a reason to suspect Flash  

 

Edit:  wow six posts appeared as I hit submit so reading those now...

Albion sighed as he walked around the two corpses now laid out on the ground. 2 assassinations in quick succession. What is going on here..?

"Certainly one way of beginning training, I suppose," he said, looking around. There were others studying the corpses near him, one of the ardents was kneeling on the ground near the two corpses, praying, and... Were those people doing push-ups?

Almighty above, how green are these people?

He grimaced, debating whether to try and call for order or let the Highprince try first. The Highprince did have more authority. People knew him, and they were more likely to listen to him, so he just decided to walk around a bit more.

As far as disasters go, this was beginning to seem like a big one.

Ummm... There were the Stonewards, rumoured to have the skill and the power of Cohesion - if you think that might be you, then I think we need to know you exist, and that you're with us, without you claiming and perhaps being targeted next by the murderers. So, you should probably use your powers in a subtler way, let us know you're here in a way that doesn't influence anything, at least for now. If you could, say, make two peoples suspicions count as one when the suspicion doesn't change the result of whatever we decide to do, at least for today, that would be fantastic. Umm... who else was there?"

I think we're likely to have at least one Stoneward. But I feel we have multiple, and all of them manipulate the votes, could that accidentally lead to actually having the lynch effected?

49 minutes ago, The Young Bard said:

"There were the Dustbringers, capable of Division and Abrasion - I think you should do something similar to the Stonewards - let us know you're among us so we can plan for it, but try not to influence what's going to happen - at least not on this early cycle, anyway."

@Elbereth Do the Dustbringers cause a player's vote to be invalid on the same cycle they target them, or does it apply to the cycle after?

52 minutes ago, The Young Bard said:

"There were others... Lightweavers, Elsecallers, but there powers were reported to be subtler, and I have nothing to say about them other than to wish them luck, and to ask them to please use their abilities wisely, and to the best that they are able. Lightweavers, in particular, your actions, while subtle, can only benefit us all no matter who you protect, so please make sure you always use your actions, regardless of everything else that happens. It can only help us."

I agree with this; there's nothing the Elsecallers can do, and the lightweavers should probably protect whoever they think is village.

[Ecthelion III he/him]

Not entirely relevant, but calling it right now, the cycle names are going to be a ketek.

[STINK he/him]

I think that just as I ignore role advice, my advice to the roles is to ignore the advice given to the roles.

[Overlord Jebus]

Tera watched as the body of the first man dropped. Driven by instinct, his sword was in his hand as he dropped into a basic sword fighting stance, whirling to face the direction the arrow came from.

Tera tried to quick intake of breath, to see if he could draw that power he felt that night a few weeks back... But nothing came. 

Like a Recruit on his first day of training, I still have no idea what I'm doing.

Scanning the nearby environment, Tera tried to find the source of the arrow. After a few moments, sounds of alarm started rising from those around him. Tera turned to find Brightness Kenera's body now slumped over the body of the man, her eyes burnt. 

What in Damnation?

In a moment of stunned silence, Malnar ran towards the body, proclaiming her as dead as a king at a Parshendi feast.

"Who here is next in command?"

Tera was about to speak up before the strangely dressed man Spiff shouted something about the navy and push ups. 

Some of the other recruits dropped down and followed his instructions. Tera tried to voice objections but Spiff ignored him and started berating those that had decided push ups were the perfect reaction to witnessing a double murder.

Nearby, the nervous man from earlier was rambling about the orders of the Knights Radiant. Tera went over to listen.

"You make some good points Melonin. We need to organise ourselves in some way. Find the person who did this. I am worried about that man claiming to be a Highprince though. You ever heard of a Highprince Tekiel?" Tera said, nonchalantly eyeing "Highprince" Tekiel. He also noticed that Dan, who was definitely human, was eyeing up the corpses in a strange manner.

-------------------------

So this is my first SE and I'm enjoying RP'ing but I'm still not 100% on the inner machinations of these things, so I'm probably just going to be asking a lot of questions of people.

I'm not suspicious of anyone... yet...

[Jondesu he/him]

As usual, the QF shows it’s tendency to gather tons of posts before I even see the thread. 

Who first asked someone to post their alignment, or posted it without being asked? I couldn’t quite tell the timeline, but that’s pointless for the village and can be helpful to the Elims, so it makes me suspicious. I’ve asked people in PMs before, but only jokingly and never telling them to post it in the thread.

My vote will depend on what I can find out about that. Also, I haven’t even opened my role PM so I couldn’t asked the question even if I wanted.

Emphasis mine

how is useful for the elims? The elims already know everyone's alignments.

[Eternum he/him]

@Jondesu Arraenae was the first person to ask role/alignment, and that is kind of suspicious. If anyone else has any other ideas/thoughts, share them. It's only helpful.

storm it, that's not the right word

[Eternum he/him]

They know alignment, Stick, not role, and knowing roles is useful.

The person I mentioned also asked for role, if I'm not remembering wrong.

EDIT: Nevermind, I was mistaken. Nae might just be village.

Edited August 3, 2017 by Eternum

[Eternum he/him]

I'd also like to mention that Megasif asked for Arraenae's role, which is kind of suspicious.

[Stick. she/her]

Yeah, Rae only asked for alignments, and if that makes people talk and post, there's nothing wrong with it.

[STINK he/him]

This statement looks wrong, because the discussion it makes isn't a good discussion. 

First premise:

All discussions are not good discussions.

No one should disagree with that, right? If I talk about the qualities of potatoes while you all talk about the game, my discussion is clearly less useful.

Now we look at what discussion has spawned from Rae's question. Was it that maybe the people answering Village maybe aren't village? Of course not, everyone's gonna answer that way no matter what. 

Instead, the discussion leads to whether Rae is good or not, and if someone asks her that then the cycle goes on forever. Discussion from this question is pretty bad for the village, yes, but I do see some use in it.

As a villager, asking this question leads to no worries because you're village and what can go wrong. However, if you're an elim then you will worry about people discussing your alignment back at you, and probably won't ask the question.

So my second premise that I'll likely hold on to for the rest of the game is:

Rae is town.

And I'm likely gonna suspect those who all just said Rae is sus for asking. LogicSTINK out.

Hem. Well, hrmm. Most unexpected. Guess we're going home early, guys!

No? Well then.

I'm pretty sure it was Flash, as he was quick enough to do the deed without anyone seeing. We shall avenge. Person. Brightness lady person. I don't know her name. And someone pick up that shardblade before it gets muddy or something!

Johnny Quick is not that fast.

Also how could I have done it? It's day one. 

For that matter, how did Haelbarde die anyway? Did he even sign up? Is this like QF14? 

Also why do you enjoy poking me right off the bat? Last time you did that was in LG35... where you turned out to be an elim *gasp*

I didn't say that it's useful for the villlage, just that it's not necessarily bad.  I also said in a previous post of mine, that I consider all of Rae's posts till now completely NAI. So yeah.

Mostly because it causes confusion and chaos, which Elims can thrive on.  They can hide more easily when everyone's asserting their alignment and role.  Plus, as noted, they usually really want to find out people's roles.

I agree that it sounds like Rae probably meant it as harmless fun, but Sif strikes me as suspicious by adding to it.

[Arinian]

So I decided to write some RP... so I will describe my character.

Alrin: 24 - 27 years old, wiry, tall, short blonde hair, dark green eyes,  long scar that goes from his neck to left cheek. Dressed in: long black cloak, loose trousers, high leather boots. Always carries many hidden daggers(because there can no be too many daggers) and long aluminium sword(truly it's just steel sword but upper layer of metal is aluminium).

RP:

 

* * *

Alrin stayed and looked on the crowd around him, he knew no one of them, also he was not sure where he is and how he’d get here. Last thing that he remembered it’s that he was drinking in some dirty pub in Luthadel, yeah that’s why his head aching.

And now two dead people lay in the centre of this mess. In the Lord Ruler’s name he surely should find out what is going here and who is responsible for these murders. No one can commit murders without permission of Lord Ruler or Inquistition, no one can hide from justice.

Moment later everything started to turn into the mess. Some people started to scream, someone claimed that now he is in charge here and commanded to make pushups… some people even listened to him, someone  was talking about  orders of Radiant Knights(never heard more mad thing then that). Alrin snorted, mad people they are. It seems he will have to deal with it alone.

He turned and stroll to the dead bodies.  A group of people have already gathered around them. Alrin looked at the dead woman and raised eyebrow, her eyes was burned… he seen many deaths in his life, but to kill someone and burn eyes in so short period of time it was something very unusual.  So he just shrugged and turned to the other body, there everything was simpler, just an arrow in the chest. He looked in the direction from where the archer most likely shooted. There was couple of possible positions for archer. He recalled some people who were staying in that direction and were possible killers. Right now he has seen one of them in crowd.

So he approached to this one, boy looked nervous and scared, but as Alrin knew even most innocent looking creatures in this world can be most dangerous ( _Stick_ (I still don't know how to mention people ):

- What is your name boy? Do you have bow? – Boy stunned, silently looked at Alrin in answer. So Alrin just shouted next question putting his hand on the sword's hilt and stepping forward.

- It’s you who killed them aren’t you?

Pressure on the nerves usually worked.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Right now I will vote for Stick, basicaly it's gut read, plus her behavior looks for me as one that usual for her when she is elim.(I will admit that it's hard to guess Stick's alignment and I'm usually wrong about her... but this time I feel sure about that more then usually, anyway I don't think that others have better suspects).

Also Echt's slip with "Squire"  looks suspicious for reasons that were already stated.

Don't have anything else to say.

Narrowly avoid falling on his face? Spiff did no such thing! He took his fall like a man with the reaction time of a sloth. Which was on purpose. He needs to let his men know they could beat him in a fair fight. It gives them confidence.

I would guess Hael is in the spectator doc, so they killed him because every GM wants a chance to kill Hael.

You just have a shifty look in your eye. Like you did in that one game where you were also evil. See, I can do that too.

Also, if I voted on the exact same people in every game I'm an eliminator, I'm make a really terrible elim.
