This game is getting scary, Everyone is suspicious.

Ok, I don't get this. How is anyone "suspicious" in this game. You know for sure that you want everyone but who's in your house dead. Nothing else to it. There's no suspicion of someone being evil, because you know that they're out to kill you too! So, no one's suspicious. There's only people you want dead sooner than other ones.

You don't know who is talking behind your back, or who is plotting to kill you, besides the general everyone. I mean organized conspiracies.

[Elandera she/her]

Dera sat in her carriage outside the grand home, debating if it was really worth it to go to yet another ball. Maybe Malcolm had the right idea. Maybe it would be better to run and hide from everyone. Dera steeled herself. She would go inside, and she would present a strong face.

After entering, keeping a stoic expression and glaring at anyone who drew too near, she sat at a corner dining table and enjoyed the food. At least that couldn't betray her... unless it had been poisoned. Dera shook her head. That was ridiculous. It would be too obvious to poison someone here. The House leaders were much more fond of daggers in the night. It was what happened after the party she needed to worry about.

[CadCom he/him]

So I just want to point out that it seems there is bias against those who are on the bottom of the player list. I say we vote for people on the top starting pretty soon. 

Of course I'm only saying this because I am the lowest person on the player list still alive.

[+ElephantEarwax he/him]

Well Araris had been voted on a bunch, the bottom is just who died. Odd though.

[Dalinar Kholin]

Well, rioters are now very scary. Only one orater voted today, and only one anonymous. Curious.

[CadCom he/him]

Yes, Rioters became very scary

Lets say Person 1 has 3 people voting for him, People A, B, and C. Now Rioter D can tie the vote. Rioter D votes for Person 2, and Riots Person C as well. Now all of a sudden it becomes

Person 1 (2), A, B,

Person 2 (2) C, D 

This gets magnified if person C was an Orator. What would have been 

Person 1 (4), A, B, C

Person 2 (1)  D 

Can now become 

Person 1 (2) A, B

Person 2. (3) C, D

That makes Rioters very powerful, and scary.

[Elandera she/her]

Dera breathed a sigh of relief as she woke not to assassins, but to the light of day. Ash was drifting down outside as skaa workers trudged about trying to keep the streets clear enough for travel. One of her own skaa servants entered, delivering terrible news. Two people dead in one night.

Lord Ruler, she thought. When will this end? When Luthadel is broken? Will the Lord Ruler ever step in to stop this?

[MacThorstenson he/him]

Malcolm crawled out of a dark alley somewhere. He glanced left and right, then sprinted down the empty street. ucking into alleys for shortcuts. He had been on the streets for a couple of days now, they were trying harder then ever to find him. If he could just avoid the guards for a few more days, they would stop looking, then he could hide in his bunker the rest of the war. He was going to make it, he just knew it.

[Bort he/him]

Poor Lekal, possibly down to their last member.

I think we should lynch an Elariel, since they've lost the least players.

I'll be back on later in the cycle with real thoughts, but now it's bedtime.

[+ElephantEarwax he/him]

That is a good plan. Regrettable but good. Rend, crawls from a wooden shack, against the wall of the canton of orthodoxy. 

[CadCom he/him]

I'll start things off, with Mac for two very important reasons that should not be overlooked!

1. He is on the top of the player list, and not near the bottom.

2. He isn't in my house.

And one less important reason.

1. I've found that the quicker the first accusation goes out, the more fun the day cycle is. Don't worry Mac, I plan on changing my vote later on. I just want to get the ball rolling.

Well, IIRC, Araris claimed Arinian was in his faction? So, that would be Araris you'd want to vote for. 

You up for it?

Because I'm down for it.  Third time's a charm, eh?

[Steeldancer he/him]

Seems smart to kill off Araris this cycle, then. 

[Mark IV he/him]

Agreed.

Araris.

[Steeldancer he/him]

What really needs to happen to keep this fair is to determine which houses had 5 individuals, because even with everyone having lost near the same number of members, those houses will have an advantage in votes and survival ability. 

[CadCom he/him]

Anyone want to admit if their house had 5 members? Mac Araris

[+ElephantEarwax he/him]

Solid logic. Is there an effective way to find someome's faction? Araris

Only if we triangulate and coordinate scans, with 3 different seekers. That way if one is lying to protect a house member, the other two can confirm that the first is lying.

So basically no, unless you have an effective way of finding 3 seekers and getting them to work together for the rest of the game.

[+ElephantEarwax he/him]

Dang, anyone want to admit to being a seeker?

When did Araris claim that? 

[Mark IV he/him]

He said Arinian told him in the doc that Itiah threatend him.
