Elithanathile Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 I will confess I laughed when I read the write-up for Crimsn's death. I'm not sorry. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvron Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Hmm, so we don't get to learn Crimsn's role? Does that mean we have a Bodysnatcher/Janitor type role out there as well? Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightnessRadiant Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Oh snap, Balelight's comin to the rp lol Aaaaaaand I told you, you should vote. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think even I'll vote this cycle cuz I don't want to die randomly before I can meet my win con. I'll think about it a bit more. Someone asked last cycle if the no voting was normal, but it was never answered. No, this game is anything but normal lol. It's basically chock full of different factions apparently and individual win cons probably mixed with a few group win cons. It's also a blackout game so we don't know even half of what's going on. So, yeah everyone basically turned to rp. While the rp is great, fantastic even, I'm sure we can all agree that we should really try and do something at least. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Here's what I know: 1. There's been at least 4 factions mentioned as far as I can tell: (Reckoners, Neutrals, Malcontents, Epic Cabal) 2. If no one votes than someone random will die, and that's not in my best interest lol. 3. There's either an elim faction or multiple kill roles (or both) because last cycle 3 people were attacked that weren't lynch targets. (So I'm guessing there's probably a lot of protection roles to balance out the kills) 4. Someone is passing items around and stealing or trading. So we have a thief role of some kind I guess. I wonder if their win con is to steal or pass a certain number of items ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) 5. We have no idea when the game will end. (Could be the standard elim or village outnumbering or could be when someone kills Balelight or some other condition.) Can't think of anything else....my only conclusion from what I know about the game is that we should stop letting the vote be random now. Cuz, I want to meet my win con and don't want to die to a random lynch before I can. So, if anyone has a grudge against anyone now's the time to get a lynch going and I might help ya lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree as a neutral lol....if I had a win con looking for village or elim to kill though I'd probably have a few guesses for who to vote on. If their is a standard village vs elim team or even just a win con that involves a lynch, they might as well use it heh. (I'm simply encouraging it so I won't die randomly) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sami Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Oh great here comes Balelight. Everyone, run for your life!!! (anybody care to fight her with Sandra?) Right now as a Neutral, I don't really have any suspicions and I don't know what to be suspicious of..... So yeah if someone starts a lynch, maybe I'll jump on, maybe I won't.

Rebecca Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 This is all so confusing! Maybe a blackout game was a bad idea for my first time playing SE....... Oh well, it's still super fun. Also, as a side note, I am also neutral (I know big surprise), and I may be persuaded to help anyone who needs it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen Mint Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 I suspect that no one's really been voting for the lynch, because a lot of players are neutral and don't need anyone else dead, and the others don't want to out themselves by openly trying to kill someone. I personally don't want to make the wrong enemies which is why I'm also hesitant about choosing someone to vote on. We really need information. I have the ability to create PMs, so if anyone is interested in sharing information, please let me know. And do so if you are ready to give out information, not just if you want a PM. I can't make an infinite amount. This offer includes just exchanging some info. with me and also if you'd like me to share something with the thread. I'll probably also PM some people who haven't asked for a PM, because I don't want everyone to know who I'm PMing. For the record, I am neutral and not trying to kill anyone yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elithanathile Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 So as someone who's not as involved in the Reckoner's RP section of the site, could I get a rundown on Balelight? Including powers and how to defeat her? Also possible emotional weaknesses to exploit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elithanathile Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Drat. I was hoping for some more info. I'll just have to make do, I suppose. Thanks for the heads-up though! Also I vote for hoping that Tachyon comes back and saves us all. Weighted eyelids flickered open to the sight of a cold metal floor, a rivet sticking up out of the metal not an inch from his eyes. Well eye now, Falchion mentally rescinded, the sensation of hot fluid cascading down his face and a sudden hollow feeling still all too fresh in his memory. Slowly his arms worked their way up before pressing palms flat against the floor and he started to climb to his feet. Then his right arm twitched violently, a spasm that almost bent the limb the wrong way as his body crashed down onto the injured arm, his clothing roughly grating the still oh so sensitive skin. He screamed, a sound that rasped past his raw vocal cords and ended in a heaving cough. He stayed there for a time, thinking it might be better to just stay down, wait for the pain to fade. Then he gritted his teeth and wrenched himself to his feet using his one good arm, fighting against the burning pain that still lingered. He wavered on his feet, but managed to stay standing. His left hand gripped his right arm, holding it tight through the occasional spasm or twitch, after-effects of being hit by sparking lightning. Oh look, a pun. Falchion half-shuffled, half-walked through a small kitchen and past a fake plastic throne complete with skeleton, his right leg still numb, but at least able to move properly. Inside a room dedicated to shelves and cupboards filled with everything from spare silverware to duct tape, he slumped down on a rolling desk and used his good arm to yank open a drawer, searching inside for a small brown bottle of pills. On the outside of the bottle was a hand-written label. "Do nut, eat. Dnger. Taek too for deth." Falchion considered for a moment, then downed 5 of the small brown pills. Almost immediately the burning ache in his arm began to fade and his leg seemed to recover slightly. It was only a stop-gap method, keeping his body running through almost anything for a few hours. Hopefully that would be enough. No more Mr. Nice Epic. Falchion strode more confidently to glass cabinet across the room and threw open the door, pulling out a item of black leather. "I knew this would come in handy," he mumbled to himself as he tightened the eye-patch securely around his head. "Take that you paranoid megalomaniac." Then he opened a portal and was gone. Sorry Paranoid King, but I kinda killed of your Reckoners RP character for Falchion's backstory. But hey, you've got a throne now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecthelion III Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Suddenly, time lurched backwards, like putting a tape on rewind, back to the point when Aaliyah drew her arm back to throw the knife. Amidst the chaos and disorientation, Sol's voice rang hollowly. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself," a voice said. It sounded familiar for some reason. "The name's Sol, but for all intents and purposes... Call me Tachyon." With the same abruptness as before, time jolted back to normal. Aaliyah's arm moved in real time once again, preparing to throw the knife... but something was different this time. A shaft of sunlight descended from the heavens carrying a figure. Judging by the fire in her eyes and the way she held herself, it was obvious: this was Balelight. “Now, would anyone care to tell me what, exactly, is going on here?” she asked commandingly. We're sparked, Robin thought. Where's Deus Ex Sol when we need him? Robin turned to face Balelight. "I'll tell you what's going on here, Malevolight. We're leaving. And there's nothing you can do to stop us." The words were more confident than he felt. "You saw how your lackeys fared. Just because you're an Epic doesn't make you invincible, and I'm going to--" Robin saw a flash out of the corner of his eye. Could it be...? No. A portal. He grabbed Scotty's arm and launched into full speed away from the Epics. "RUN!" - @Elithanathile @BrightnessRadiant @Seonid if you want to be Balelight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternum Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Sol's still there, guys. Hasn't left yet. And he doesn't exactly intend to get into a fight with Balelight because it would just result in a stalemate (If I have this right and Balelight's powers are airbending and shooting lasers out of her eyes) OK, now for some actual analysis. We know of 3 separate factions: Epic Cabal, Malcontents and Reckoners. (4 if we include Neutrals.) Malcontents and Reckoners both sound like they want to kill Epics. Since they usually killed low-end Epics in the books, I'd take a gamble and say they're after the Neutrals. Now, the Malcontents. Just from the name, I'd say they're not happy with how the city is ruled n stuff. They probably want to kill the Epic Cabal, because I suspect the Cabal is sided with Balelight, not against her. See: Stormwarden was a Cabalist, and was under Balelight's command. (In the writeup) Now, I think that at least the Reckoners and Cabal have a faction kill. Crimsn was killed by an epic (Cabal obv(Also I'd like to mention that the GMs seem to be using jokes from the beginning of the game, because it seemed like Crimsn was killed by Lavalake )) and the previous attempt to kill them was a sniper attack, which screams Reckoner to me. There is probably a vanilla village faction too, judging from Len saying they have no role and action. I can't offer any analysis on the players because I have no idea who's who at this point.

Sami Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Sandra froze at the familiar sound of Balelight's voice. A familiar rage welled up inside her, but with an effort she kept her head. The mist shimmered and formed an image of air, shielding her from sight. Sol just stood there, and a portal heralding the arrival of another epic appeared. Since when did this become a superpowered get-together?! Just-just epic! She thought in annoyance. The forcefield epic's companion started dragging her away in a panic. Oh no, you're not. With a flick of her wrist she snapped a mist-block around them.

Eternum Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) (I'm sad that nobody gets why Sol's Epic name is Tachyon ) Sol looked up at Balelight as she arrived, sighing. "Yeah, as expected.. Did you come here to join the party too? From the looks of it, it's gonna become one heckuva free-for-all." He said, addressing Balelight. He was surprised, though, when a portal opened and another Epic, Falchion, walked out, Didn't he get struck by lightning like... Minutes ago? Sparking determined, that guy.

BrightnessRadiant Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 "Run!" Robin yelled and grabbed Scotty by the arm, turning to run. A wall of mist began to enclose around them, cutting off every exit. I don't think so! Scotty formed a large force field as quickly as she could, stopping the mist from closing completely on the side opposite all the commotion. She struggled to keep it in place as the mist began to harden and push against her field. Each moment she used her powers brought her closer to a complete breakdown of her emotions. She could feel herself slipping, sinking into the darkness. It was ready to claim her. It would be so easy to just give in. Why not join Balelight? The darkness seemed to whisper. Why hide this glorious power you've been given? You're a god in this world of mortals. Why not show it? ....No! She screamed inwardly and pushed against the darkness, searching desperately for happy memories, good times gone by. She had to hold on....for....Robin. Grimacing, she pushed with all her might, causing the mist wall to shatter. "Hurry!" She continued to run at top speed, hoping to make it somewhere far away from this madness.
