BrightnessRadiant she/her Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Mkay it's been a long day and I'm having trouble holding two thoughts together at a time xD I'm gonna vote on Shqueeves because his vote on Mac doesn't really explain his vote very well, especially since I totally get where Mac is coming from and I try to avoid tipping the village's suspicion radar as well when I'm a villager because(as we've had perfectly good examples with Mac and a few others) we do jump on anything and everything so even villagers have to avoid suspicion. I literally just played an entire game defending myself as a villager because of something that happened on the first cycle. Also, not caring who dies isn't exactly a beneficial point of view but technically it can be NAI I guess xD (not every good guy is a nice guy LOL) I'm gonna be crazy busy during this QF so please don't expect high activity for me which is normally what I strive for.
MonsterMetroid Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 The room was filled with the constant chatter of discussion. Roid was pleased to hear people talking but Roid's head, well not so much... Roid want real talk, but this much hurt head Roid thought. "Roid need chair to sit" Roid mumbled as he glanced around the room. Unfortunately the only chair not take was the one he smashed yesterday. Roid decided the floor would do just fine as he plopped unceremoniously onto the floor face scrunched up in concentration. Annnnnnd right when I write this much my friend that is the most distracting person came over haha SMH Roid think Straw respond like Idrian not Hallandren Roid thought, Roid also noticed that Coop switched his vote anytime pressure was applied to him, Sal opinion weak but maybe just not like argue, or maybe try to hide? ------- Ok I can't rub two thoughts together until he leaves I will get back on in a bit sorry though @Elenion you gonna vote? Ok ok I have to write one more thing -------- Roid looked to BR "Roid think your last village had real jerks in it" 1
Coop772 Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 "Well Roid, Sal don't argue unless Sal is confident in his data. Still trying to collect data atm, so maybe you should back off." Hmm, thought Sal. Maybe that was a little bit harsher than I meant it to be. Then again, I'm not in a very good mood with these stupid spies making me question the only people I've ever really gotten to know.
Bort he/him Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Honestly, I have no idea who to vote for. It's been ages since I last played, so I'm just trying to get a handle on the game again. So, I'm going to put my vote on RippleGylf. I don't have much beyond an unease about how she called Mac out for doing something we should probably all be doing - trying not to be suspicious.
Elenion he/him Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Fear not, gents, if there's anything that I don't struggle with it's getting votes down. (I'm known for moving my vote around and general aggressive play). I don't want to vote on Mac because he's supplied reasoning for his vote. I don't want to vote on Shqueeves because his seemed like an apathy vote more than anything. I think I've detected a change in Straw's playstyle this cycle. He's been a lot more aggressive, challenging views on him when he usually stays silent.

I'm trying to explain my reasoning behind doing what I did and show you guys that in my mind it was the least suspicious route available. No matter who I put my vote on, I would have been suspected for something. Placing a vote like that will give people suspicions. Placing it on someone without any votes or justification as my last post for the night would have been weird. Setting the outcome of the lynch by placing it on someone with 2 votes would have been ultra suspicious. Being the only person in the cycle who didn't vote on someone would have drawn suspicion like bee's to honey. I couldn't find justification in my mind for one remaining person over another so I used an RNG so I wouldn't feel guilty. Even if the person didn't die, that still would have been suspicious. Using an RNG is not the least suspicious route available, in my opinion. If you go through the thread and you honestly don't have any suspicions, then I think it's okay for you to admit that and simply not vote, or at least place your vote on a player without any votes at that point. What I consider suspicious is when someone does something solely for the purpose of drawing attention away from themselves. In this case, laying out your thoughts like this makes me trust you a little more I think. 4 hours ago, Straw said: Interesting. If I end up dead, I’d recommend considering lynching Joe, Coop, or Mac. The two sudden votes for me could definitely be Joe and Coop trying to save Mac from being lynched. Also, @A Joe in the Bush, does that reasoning also apply to everyone who put the first vote on a player who turned out to be village? @Coop772 would you mind explaining to me why you’re suspicious of me? This reads slightly village to me, because of the suggestion of looking at Joe, Coop, and Mac if he ends up dead. 9 minutes ago, Elenion said: Fear not, gents, if there's anything that I don't struggle with it's getting votes down.

Do you agree with the reasoning? Because eliminators probably give reasoning for votes more often than villagers. I'll clarify. I started off suspicious of Mac because I thought "Mac claims to use RNG, but what if he's just an elim looking to put a vote on Rand? We can't prove that he actually used an RNG." Now that he's given reasoning for why he wanted to use an RNG, that supports the case that he actually used one, so that drops my suspicion of him down a notch.
MonsterMetroid Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Ok I'm back sorry for the half a post but writing while he is talking to you was putting myself into Roids shoes way too literally. @Drake Marshall can you post peoples RP names in the next player list as wellif its not too much of a bother? finding some of them is kind of hard Current Vote Count: Mac(3): Ripple, Straw, Shqueeves Straw(3): Joe, Mac, Elen Arinian(2): Drought, Mac Shqueeves(3): Devotary, Coop, BR Drought(1): Arinian Devotary(1): Lopen Elenion(1): Ecthelion Rippleglyf(1): Bort ----------- Roid drifted back into focus from his daydream. "Roid got hard time concentrate" Roid said. "Roid agree with the Lopen that Straw response seem Idrian, Roid want to see if Straw run but straw fight, straw not weak" Roid was surprised to see how many fingers had followed his to Straw though. Edit: I am the worst at these vote things it turns out, tune in for part 3 of MM's worst post yet on the hit Idrian Drama "Days of our Lifeless" Edit Edit: I give up I'm too dumb for these vote counts Edited March 2, 2018 by MonsterMetroid sigh I tried to fix the the stupid vote coutn and pressed enter before done with post grrrrrr
livinglegend Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) All right, I'm back and caught up. I'm not sure why, but Arinian always feels elim to me. For that reason alone I don't want to vote for him. On top of that, I don't have any real evidence against him so I don't want to lynch him and have him turn out to be good. Straw(4) Monster, Joe, Mac, Elenion Mac(3) Ripple, Straw, Shqueeves Shqueeves(3) Devotary, Coop, Brightness Arinian(2) Drought, Mac Drought(1) Arinian Devotary(2) Lopen, Legend Elenion(1) Ecthelion Ripple(1) Bort Darn. I was hoping to do this vote tally to find the person to send for the gods of luck and chance, but the person I would put up from this list is Arinian as well. Drought also made a good point about elim vote cancelers (which I am neither confirming nor denying the existence of in this game) would taint the purity of our offering. In the interest of staying alive I'll vote for Devotary. I've got a slight elim read and I think it's just because I disagree with you on the use of awakeners. I understand your argument that eliminators might want the awakeners to claim so as to kill them quickly, but if we never end up asking the awakeners, we miss out on a lot of valuable information. As a word of advice. I would ask any awakeners to pick the two or three people they trust the most to claim to and wait until the very end of the cycle to tell each of them who the other was. That way the eliminator team wouldn't have enough time to switch the kill over to the other trusted person/people. Edited March 2, 2018 by livinglegend Beat by seconds to an outdated list by Monster

Awesome. In that case, vote analysis. Ecthelion voted because of busy-ness, which means it's NAI. Arinian voted on Drought in retaliation because he doesn't understand why Drought is suspicious of him. < don't agree with reasoning here Drought voted on Arinian because he didn't try to explain why he isn't an elim. < somewhat agree with suspicion Bort voted on Ripple for calling out Mac for trying to avoid suspicion. < neutral read on this one. He's staying out of the main voting, but so am I... Hm, I think I'll do the rest next Cycle, since things will be clearer then(maybe ). Overall, my top 2 choices are Shqueeves and Devotary I think. Of course, Devotary is voting on Shqueeves, so I don't really feel like switching to him... :/

The reason I left them off is because I am in the habit of removing RP names from player lists when I make lists of reads in other games, and I thought it might be able to save people some time when they make their lists. But if that is backfiring, and using up more of your time, I can put the RP names back in the next batch. To keep it from getting too cluttered, I will leave off the player descriptions present in signups, unless people ask for that as well.
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Too busy at work to be online at the end. Someone please watch the thread for any last minute voters.
RippleGylf she/her Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 I got your back, Joe. I probably won't move my vote unless there are last-minute voters, but Straw is also among my higher suspicions at the moment. I probably made the whole avoiding suspicion thing seem like a bigger deal than I actually believed it was, Bort. Can't blame you for voting on me.
MonsterMetroid Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 We now continue where we left off from Part two of "Days of our Lifeless": Roid started to lower his finger and said "I tink that...." When Shqueeves finger immediately shot up pointing to straw to take its place. Roid blinked stupidly for several seconds then remembered he had to say something cause the captain was fingering his sword while looking at him. "I tink that Straw be Idrian or more Idrian than some. Tings do move quick for Roid to understand but he tink the Lopen is right that Devotary say tings, and dont say other tings, to blend in like drab to awakener." Roid nodded "He also was watching with his finger til the very minute final decision made" "Roid is tired now, roid watch people last night and not sleep much now roid sleep" and Roid immediately fell asleep with his finger still pointed at @Devotary of Spontaneity This concludes this weeks episode of "Days of our Lifeless" Tune in next week to find out the important questions like Will the Lifeless come tonight? Will some votes be changed in the morning? How did Roid become a Drab? All these questions will be answered next time on "Days of our Lifeless" I will be up for a bit just so devotary can respond but I do need to go to bed sometime so please be quick if you do

DrakeMarshall he/him Posted March 2, 2018 Author Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) "Awaken to my breath, Serve my needs, Live at my command and at my word." -Invocation of Lifeless The creature watched Amaranth with lifeless, colorless eyes. Frost was clinging to its bare arms, but it didn't seem particularly bothered, content to bide its time, watching the marshall with a disinterested expression, hand rested on the pommel of a sheathed blade. It was not the only one. Amaranth had reports that the lifeless had formed a loose perimeter around the camp. Each of them, like this one, merely watching, gazing into the camp, waiting. Amaranth turned back towards the camp, and the creature did nothing to follow him. He shivered, only in part from the cold. Several people looked up from the fire at his approach. "Marshall Incarnadine," a soldier acknowledged. "I would like a volunteer to test the perimeter of these lifeless. Try to get past them, or at least figure out what we're dealing with." The soldiers were silent. "Anyone? You have my word that there will be soldiers ready to intervene if this goes south." The mass of soldiers withdrew, leaving a pair of soldiers standing forward. Their eyes widened as they realized what just happened. "Shu and Fahmexa. Thank you for your willingness. However, I only require one volunteer." "I can stay," Shu said quickly. "No really, that's fine, I can stay back," Fahmexa replied. "Shu is our only real cook, it may be for the best if he stayed back," a voice interjected. Amaranth glanced at the speaker. "Very well, captain." Fahmexa started out trudging across the snow to the perimeter, coat held tight around her to counter the chill wind. Even a normal day seemed, well, drab to her eyes... But this landscape was already pretty bleak to begin with. As she reached the edge of the camp, she noticed eyes on her. One of the lifeless marched her way, stopping several paces in front of her as if on an invisible boundary. She met the creature's eyes, then stepped backwards. It was commander Jaaver. His throat neatly stiched up, still wearing his Idrian captain's uniform, now completely devoid of color. He stared at her calmly, standing with exactly the same posture as in life, the same scowl on his face he used when somebody was breaking the rules. Was this the fate waiting for all of them? She gritted her teeth, then stepped forwards. Jaaver didn't react. She broke into a run, dodging to the side and sprinting forward, around Jaaver, past the perimeter... Something struck her in the back, and she went down, winded. Jaaver picked her up, walked back to the perimeter line, and deposited her on the other side. Then he walked back to his original position, lifeless eyes forward again as if nothing had happened, daring her to try to cross again. "So we can't leave? Just like that?" one of the soldiers asked, incredulous. "That is correct," the marshall replied. "You need only look to Fahmexa if you are inclined to disbelieve." There was murmering among the soldiers at this, and more as Amaranth departed to his tent. "Hear that? We're stuck here 'til we catch the traitor!" "Easier said then done. Unless you're admitting you did it?" "Oh for Austre's sake, you're can't be serious. Don't be stupid." "WHO STUPID?? ROID'S HEAD NOT VOID!!!" "It's okay Roid, I don't think they meant you. Here, have a cookie, it'll make you feel better." "I tried one of your cookies and it's making it hard to paint. What do you put in those?" "Anyone up for another game of craps?" "The last time we did that we killed Jaaver, silly. Or maybe you wanted to kill Jaaver, hmmm?" "How could I even have known what he was gonna roll? I didn't do anythin'." "No, I don't think you did. I bet he did it." "Me? That's INSANITY! What about that fellow who took my scarf? I bet it was him!" "I think you're being too quiet." "Oh yeah?? Well you're being too loud!" "If I don't accuse you, I might get sick." "If I don't accuse you, I might be the one who gets picked." "Well that's just what a Hallandren would say!!" "STOP!!!" a voice shouted over the din. And they did. Everybody froze. "Thank you. Now, we could be at this all day. Lets count up who is pointing at who and make a decision." When all was counted, Straw had the most fingers pointed at him. Four in total. "Alright. There is your traitor." As one, they seized him.

Jo and the Bush all/any Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 First off, I should be asleep. It is 2 in the morning my time. Second off, a captain helped out shqueeves. Third off, there was no kill. Again. Statistically speaking, it is improbable for there to be two successful roleblocks. (1 in 16 chance of hitting the right player, times 1 in 15 chance the second round (1 in 250 about) But that is assuming 1 awakener.(1 in 50 chance if there are 2 awakeners(Maybe. I am doing quick and dirty calculations.)(for there to be a 1 in 10 chance, we would need 5 awakeners)))) So i would appreciate it if an awakener could tell someone how many awakeners are in the dead doc. Fourthly, Straw was a villager. I'll look at Elenion, Shqueeves, Mac, and Devotary today. They all had more than 2 votes, or voted for Straw. I'll do that after sleep, assuming i have time after the LG42 writeup. For now though, Good night.
TheMightyLopen he/him Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Quote Straw (4)- Joe, Elenion, Shqueeves, MacDevotary (3)- Livinglegend, Lopen, MonsterShqueeves (2)- Brightness, Devotary, CoopMac (2)- Straw, RippleRipple (1)- BortElenion (1)- EcthelionArinian (1)- DroughtDrought (1)- Arinian So, Coop's vote was cancelled, and there was no eliminator kill once again. Not sure what to make of that, but I'm fine with no kills! One thing I thought of as a possibility is that they have a Sentry or 2, so they're trying to find Awakeners/Sentries before they start making kills. That does get into IKYK territory a bit though, so I wouldn't use that as a sole reason for suspecting someone. Another thought is that none of them have really been in hot water so far, so they're confident enough to forego a couple kills to mess with us. Coop's vote being cancelled: Either Shqueeves removed the vote, or else it was probably an eliminator. Only way I see it being a villager is if it was one of the Straw voters. Shqueeves voted on Straw 1 hour before rollover. I think I'm getting the impression that it was Shqueeves who cancelled the vote, because of him telling Coop it was okay for him to vote on him for survival last Cycle. Not something you'd usually see, unless he knew he could just cancel it. Anyways, moving on, vote analysis of the Straw voters. We already know Shqueeves voted in self-defense, so no explanation needed. Mac's vote on Straw was also out of self-preservation, which doesn't help much. Elenion's vote on Straw was because he said he thought Straw's playstyle was more aggressive than normal. Monster PM'd me about this asking if I agreed, to which I responded that Straw's playstyle is fairly erratic, so I didn't think he'd done anything too out of character. So, slight suspicion of Elenion, but something else I said to Monster was that I don't think Len would say something in thread he didn't think he couldn't back up, so I'm not counting it as particularly suspicious. Out of the 4 votes, I think Joe's was the most suspicious, because it seems like a reach to have suspected Straw because of him putting a single vote on Randuir on Cycle 1. Just to be clear though, Shqueeves and Mac could be more suspicious than Joe, I'm just saying that their votes were NAI and his was slightly suspicious. At the moment, I'd still like to put some more pressure on Devotary. Same reasons: he seems to be in that category of "active enough but not trying to be a leading voice" that elims are often in.
Devotary of Spontaneity Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 My laptop screen broke a few hours before rollover, so I wasn’t able to respond to votes 2 and 3. In response to @livinglegend, I tend to be very cautious about role claiming in PMs because I can never be sure that someone is a villager unless they have been scanned or have lead a vote on an active eliminator. To @TheMightyLopen and @MonsterMetroid, is there anything in particular you find suspicious of me? I have never been extremely active in thread, I think my four posts on C1 were a personal record high.
