Darkness Ascendant he/him Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 @Straw I guess I am tunneling, only because my read on you is the only solid thing I've had this entire game, which has left me thoroughly confused and unhappy, I'm more than willing to change my view, let's see as I go through your posts. I'll also admit I've been trying to go for more analysis and such and actually help the game move forward, in the past I haven't paid much attention to how you usually play, but it feels like you always have a convenient reason for everything. And the two posts which you made on the day Joe were lynched. See, this is what really pushed my alarm button, your jump from Jon to Joe. I still stand by my reasoning that the elims told Straw to vote on him, perhaps they don't have any vote manipulators and saw Joe was going to be lynched and decided that they better make at least one of them tip the scales at the right moment so others see him as a villager. Which I thought was a shoddy excuse. I didn't trust them at all. I think I responded to this. The stuff on Walin also feels like a way to solidify people seeing you as Village. *shrugs, my vote still stands.
Straw he/him Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Joe had one vote on him and Jon had two before I switched. How does that indicate that Joe was going to be lynched?
BrightnessRadiant she/her Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) Sorryyyyy I hate being inactive but I've been dealing with some personal stuff and then got sick again >> Anyone, wanna fill me in since there's only like 3 hours left? I gotta go to dinner soon, and then have other plans. I feel really bad for bombing on y'all. @randuir also, when did I vote Straw? I think I was only active on day 1 really and I voted on Joe.

How does that indicate that Joe was going to be lynched? You know its not a matter of the votes, more so that Joe messed up bad with the PMs and things. Get in early and all.

TheMightyLopen he/him Posted October 29, 2017 Author Posted October 29, 2017 Night 3 Gaz stormed up to the sorry Bridge 11, who were tromping back from the rock duty. "You! Deral! Didn't you hear that laziness will get you strung up? You either do things, or people will tell me that you aren't, and you can be given to the Stormfather!" Deral said nothing, staring blankly, as he had all afternoon. Perhaps he had been poisoned, or traumatized by so much death. Gaz cursed, and grabbed Deral. ---- The highstorm raged as night came on. Trapped in the barracks, fingers were pointed. "I bet it was Silver Feather. I saw him talking to Gaz. He probably told him that Deral was being lazy just to off another one of us!" A chorus of agreement came. Trying to reconcile with them, Silver Feather said "Yeah, sure I did. I told Gaz. But not to off another one of us. I just thought he would knock some sense into him!" "Well, let's let the Storm knock some sense into you!" They shoved him into the raging storm. And neither man's body could be found when the Storm abated. But the bridgemen couldn't seem to care. They had long since grown numb to the constant deaths. Roadwalker was lynched! He was a Unlucky Unremarkable! Eternum has died from inactivity! He was a Unlucky Con Artist!

DeTess she/her Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Apologies, @BrightnessRadiant, I meant to say you where the first vote on Joe, not on Straw.
Jondesu he/him Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Two false Elim claims... can this please stop? Doing that only hurts us and makes it more likely the Elims will win.

BrightnessRadiant she/her Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) Found some time to catch up Okay caught up on the previous cycles...it was weird lol. 2 elim claims when they were villagers. That's just...why? That doesn't help anyone but the elims. I've seen a lot of suspicion thrown at Striker throughout the cycles when he hasn't been very active. Seems a bit odd to me like maybe the elims were just trying to push a villager into the suspicion spotlight for later cycles or they were trying to distance themselves. Or, that he's actually an elim and why isn't he getting voted on if people are suspicious of him. Oh, maybe because people are claiming elim and keeping actual suspicions from even having a chance to form. From reading through I'd say my top suspicions for now are somewhere in: 1. Either Darkness or Straw (have been at each other the whole game and I doubt they'd be teammate elims, but one or the other still could be) 2. Possibly Rand (still haven't ever seen him play elim and I don't see much that he's said or done that would clear him, but I never lynching him because he's so active lol) I could totally see him being elim this game just sayin. I'll try to go back through maybe next cycle if I can and do analysis. If I die this cycle then don't be hard suspicious on Rand because I flip village but I just want to try and watch him because the thought of elim!Rand scares me. xD Also, if he is one then I'm mad cuz I wanted to be elim with him haha. 3. Maybe Striker (has received plenty of voiced suspicions from other players, and yet he's still not been voted on really) I'll try and add more next cycle if I'm around (by which I mean alive lol) Edit: forgot to add that Drake is my other possible suspect because I was doing all of this from memory after doing a read through of the game. I don't see much that he's said or done to clear him and I just found myself putting him in a possible elim box as I was reading lol. For some of these players, it'd be nice to find out their alignment to help me get a read on other players. We've not gotten a lot of info like that this game because of the two wasted cycles where people fake claimed. Seriously two wasted lynches could cost us the game considering there are so many inactive. Edited October 29, 2017 by BrightnessRadiant
DeTess she/her Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 I've Pm'd Sami and Shqueeves this cycle. I haven't heard anything from Sami yet, but Shqueeves told me he's had a very busy week and is resting up today. Hopefully this means that he'll return to the game soon.
Hemalurgic Headshot he/him Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 So Road wasn’t lying about being Unremarkable... This is really bad, guys. And all you inactive need to come back! You’ll be essentially killing yourselves for the Elims. Thanks Rand for PMing them.
manukos he/him Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 hmm yeah sry for missing this day i literaly have no excuse . i read up on what i missed but i think i'll want to re read it cos there are some ppl like straw that i cant make sense of/settle on an alignment , i will return the next morning
Orlok Tsubodai Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 I’m exhausted, and whilst I’ve managed to stay on top of the Long Game, I haven’t managed to catch up here.
TheMightyLopen he/him Posted October 30, 2017 Author Posted October 30, 2017 Night 3 is over! Cycle 4 is going up in a moment.
TheMightyLopen he/him Posted October 30, 2017 Author Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) Day 4 The storm passed. The bridge awoke to Gaz slamming the door open. Horns played in the distance. "You idiots! Get up! You're on bridge duty, and the scouts have spotted a Gemheart! Out! Out! Now!" The bridgemen stirred themselves quickly, knowing that punishment would follow if they didn't hurry. All except for one man. Gaz stormed over to the his bed. "GET UP YOU SORRY CHULL-RIDDEN... oh." Div's face had turned purple. He was no longer breathing. He had been poisoned. "Well then, stop standing around, and MOVE!" Shouted Gaz. "I'll send some members of Bridge 17 to help you carry the bridge. They're too large, anyway." The bridgemen hurried to their bridge, and stood to deliberate who should stand where. Jondesu was killed! He was a Tough Unlucky Con Artist! Drake has received the Unremarkable vote! PM's are closed. Thanks to Steeldancer for the write-up! SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - This Cycle we're doing things a little differently. Considering you really don't trust anyone, your normal schedule for who goes in the front of the bridge is up for debate. There's 5 empty spots at the front of the bridge, and you all need to decide who goes there when you charge the plateau where the gemheart, and more importantly for you, the Parshendi, are waiting. You can place anywhere from 1 to 5 players on the front as your lynch, but understand that the more crew members on the front, the better chance for each of the individuals to survive the charge. Also, it's a long way to the plateau, so you have 48 hours instead of 24. A player needs 2 votes on them to be placed at the front of the bridge. Have fun! Player list: Spoiler 1. Darkness (Nuatoma Akihiko) 2. Randuir (Tenodin) 3. Straw (An Explosive Gerbil) 4. Brightness Radiant (undecided) 5. Hemalurgic Headshot (Kurt Barnacles) 6. Jondesu (Div) Tough Unlucky Con Artist7.

Darkness Ascendant he/him Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Ooh, interesting mechanic @TheMightyLopen!!
manukos he/him Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 hmmm what an interesting and flavorful idea i should say that i am curently suspicious of straw(i get the feeling that joes sacrifice was planned from the start to exhonorate one of his teammates as i said before and straw makes the most sense ) and striker ez (for normal reasons) i will return later today to place my vote demending on how things evolve
DeTess she/her Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 I'm happy this thread today is 48 hours, as this is probably my only post for the first 24 hours of the thread because I've got an exam coming up today. Anyway, the two people I'd like to see in the front of the bridge are Striker and Lemon ( @StrikerEZ, @Lemonelon). I'm voting Striker as I'd preferably want to see Lemons response to the thing I noticed last cycle. I also understand that she (I think?) was having some real life trouble so I'm willing to give her(?) a bit longer. Also, @Manukos, you're the second person to mention this suspicion that C1 was set up by Joe on purpose. Could you elaborate more on why you have this suspicion? I really don't see how this would be worth it for the elim team. I thought Orlok wouldn't do a double WGG last QF either, of course, but this theory about Joe seems to be a whole other category of wasteful(for the elim team) and unlikely.
Megasif he/him Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Okay this sounds interesting. So the more people that we have the less the chances of them dying. In this case, I would suggest that we put people up that are quite suspicious, but don't fill it up completely. Maybe limit upto 2-3. But that would give a much higher chance of them getting killed and could play into the advantage of elims. On the other hand, if we do 5, there's more likely to be an elim in there but more chances of hitting just a villager. Very likely that only 3 deaths at most in that case, I'm guessing.

I think chances for death in a full front row are even less, probably no more than 2 in total, but we'll see. I agree that we shouldn't fill it up, and 2-3 sounds just fine.
Darkness Ascendant he/him Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 I would feel bad for anyone I put up at the front at this stage

BrightnessRadiant she/her Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 @Manukos I've actually been considering the possibility that Joe might have wanted to get some teammates trusted early if he knew he couldn't be very active. I know he's been really busy irl. I don't know if he would, but I wouldn't completely rule it out because I want to look at every option. I wanna go back and look at my suspicions before I put anyone on the front line.
