The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 That was a very specific scenario. As long as you vote with some amount of reasoning, that makes things work.

Hah, that’s usually my strategy, or I’ll just look at others analysis and see if I agree with them. Also, I would make my own analysis if there weren’t so many pages.
Experience he/him Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Anyone want to jump back into the RP? I think we were at the point when Harmonies Chosen walked up to the table, and then the hazekiller did as well. Also, I really would like to see a vote count, if anyone has one please.
Emi she/her Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Yeah, now I know it. I will try to do this in the future, but now I’m on the phone, so it’s hard to understand harder words...
The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Pyria trembled as her arms strained to hold the meat pies on her head. She had always liked meat pies, and wanted to eat these ones, but she couldn’t move- No, it was okay. Just like those practices daddy had taught her to keep her back straight after she was slouching. It was one of those games! Maybe the person who put it on her head was a friend of daddy’s from work? That must be it, otherwise he wouldn’t know the game! All she had to do was stand up straight, then someone would come and she could stop and eat the extra yummy food as a prize! But if she spilled it on the floor, she couldn’t eat it because it was dirty. Then her daddy would get mad at her. The meat pies were heavier than anything she’d ever balanced before though. They were beginning to tip. Pyria struggled, and was just falling over when someone knocked the pies off her head. The young girl crashed to the ground, dishes shattering. Thankfully, her head didn’t hit the ground, but the crash immediately caught everyone’s attention. If they frequented the building, they might actually recognise the girl. As Pyria stared at the splattered food in front of her, her eyes began to sting. Big girls don’t cry,she told herself. Big girls don’t cry! However, a young girl’s sobbing began to fill the room regardless. Had to justify why she was holding still for so long here, and it got kinda dark O.0 1
Emi she/her Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Didn’t you just said, that you are posting short posts, pyro?
The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Just now, Emi said: Didn’t you just said, that you are posting short posts, pyro? Generally. That was one I was working on since yesterday.

The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Eh, more like I kept being interrupted.
Araris Valerian he/him Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 3 minutes ago, Emi said: I just don’t want to say something wrong, like this thing with Kynedath. In response to this and perhaps other players who feel the same: There's a party game out there called "Wits and Wagers". Each turn, there is a random trivia question with a numerical answer, such as "How tall is Big Bird" or "What is the date of such and such event". Instead of rewarding players for getting the correct answer, the players win by betting on any answer, so long as it is closest to being correct. I think we should aim to treat this game similarly. Throw out some suspicions, even if they aren't much better than random (this can be useful because the elims probably won't give random answers). Then let the rest of the players sort through what they want to agree/disagree with. If all the villagers didn't say anything about their suspicions, then the elims would run away with the game. It is a (extremely minor) downside that whoever we end up lynching is out of the game, but that shouldn't deter us too much. After all, military governments aren't built from sunshine and daisies, but the blood of innocents. Also, as the SE player with the most games, I can say that I began to have more fun once I stopped worrying too much about lynching the wrong person early in the game (it's the late game where this really matters). 5
Shard of Reading he/him Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 In response to Pyro's post ______ Reading looked up and saw a little girl crying. "Hey, guys, could you give me a moment?" He asked the people at his table He got up and walked over to the little girl. "Hey are you O.K?" He asked her. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Experience he/him Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 The hazekiller started to walk towards the table, so Shard excused himself from the table and went to get some food. He glanced back to see if the hazekiller had noticed him leaving, and as he turned to see where he was walking he walked into someone. That someone fell over, as did some meatpies that Shard guess they had been holding. That was when Shard realized that it was a little girl that he had run into. It made sense, because there wasn't really any way that he could have knocked over an adult. "I'm so sorry," he said to the girl. Shard was about to help them up when they started to cry. Shard didn't want to the adults to reprimand him for an accident, so he fled from the room, trying to find a place to hide.
The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 I agree with Araris here, and I like the analogy. Right now, I've already thrown out my (vague) suspicions on XP, but I don't want to tunnel here, so I won't talk about that. Elbereth has been very nice and open to me in PMs, which feels a bit off, as she should have been more careful if she didn't know my alignment (aka was village). Drake and I had a nice back-and-forth, and I'm village reading them for it. Ventyl seems like they're trying to copy how XP and I are acting to some extent, which could just be a new player trying to fit in. Still, XP and Ventyl are probably not elims together.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 I’m not usually one to post much player analysis on the first cycle… or, well, ever, really… but I’m trying to do better. I’m going to vote anyways, to get the money, so might as well at least try to make it reason-driven. There have been several votes so far, but the only remaining ones that I can find with an explicit stated reason for suspicion are Karnage’s vote on Araris, Magestar’s vote on Coda, Experience’s vote on Coda, and TJ’s vote on Magestar. 17 hours ago, Magestar said: No idea. I'm sure he's got some reasons though. In all seriousness, though, I've been keeping an eye on a couple of people as the cycle progresses, and despite there not being a whole lot to go on, I've got a couple of ideas. I'd rather not discuss them in too much depth, as I've said previously, but I'll talk a little bit about Coda and Xino. I have a tendency to be suspicious of people who play very safe with their posts. I've talked previously about how discussing the roles in the game is a good way to seem like you're contributing without drawing a lot of suspicion to yourself. So Xino was really one of the people who I was most suspicious of. This has been nullified somewhat by my own realization that this appears to be Xino's play style in general. Coda, however, acted similarly, which is apparently different from their usual play style. This, in concert with a few things they've said, along with their activity right at the beginning of the cycle, gave me a weird vibe. I wouldn't say they're necessarily the person I'm most suspicious of at the moment, or even that they're the person who I think will give the most information from a successful lynch, but Coda is the person on Araris' list I'm most willing to lynch/discuss lynching. This is actually a fairly good point. I don't think it makes me suspicious enough of Coda to vote for them quite yet, but they're definitely on my radar. 17 hours ago, Experience said: Yes, the thing is that we may not want to suck up the action. As I said before, I'm leaning village for araris, and they thought that coda and I weren't on the same team. This means that Coda must be an elim. (ILuvHats) 17 hours ago, Experience said: I know right?! Maybe you should just take some time to do some 200 word posts. That way I can just not have to worry about winning. Oh. Ok. Ya, that makes sense. I'm going to keep my vote on them for now, mostly because I don't want to die and you thought they were a good canidate. Of course, you also thought I was so not sure what to think. Just because someone is a good alignment doesn't necessarily make them right. While there certainly may be quite valid reasons for Coda to be lynched, it's best to try to discover them for yourself. 14 hours ago, TJ Shade said: How are you guys getting reads out of people when everyone is just yelling "Do not worry about the kandra!"? The only thing I can think of is @Ashbringer and his kandra analysis. They started with a solid kandra-could-impersonate statement, but then recanted it saying they didn't want else to worry, and then they recanted their recantation. I would say it's suspicious but I understand a new player's eagerness. Araris and @Magestar are likely to be on opposite teams seeing as they are the most experienced players. They could both be eliminators but I don't see them both being villagers. I know it's not an analysis based on "read", but it's the best I can come up with right now. In the spirit of maintaining the tie, Magestar. I'm fairly certain elim teams are almost always chosen by pure RNG, which makes trying to meta them pointless. On 6/4/2020 at 11:45 AM, Karnage said: Hey y'all I still here! For a while I might just have to meet the minimum requirements to be active because I have been busy, but we will see. First off there is going to be a lot going on in the game. A lot. I suspect that we won't be able to trust anybody's role call (if they do make one) since there are many roles that can have similar results while going about it different ways. I think that the best way to catch eliminators is by catching them in the act of lying (as they don't want the villagers to know anything) which will requiring some sleuthing which I know many of y'all are good at and goes over my head some of the time. So either catching them lying or finding them going under the radar. The radar part being a hard route to find them since there will inevitably be some villagers who won't be active in the game. The thief seems particularly troubling in the elims hands (as Magestrar said), honestly they could probably just target the person who has made the most posts so far and gradually just get more and more money till they can get the most powerful items to use. As for the elim team. I suspect that there might be 4-6 people on the elim team with 1-2 of them being newer players, 1-2 of them being mid-experienced players, and 2-4 being experienced players. I don't really want to vote on Mist since they are newer to the game. I will place a vote on Araris since they are pretty experienced form what I know and in the MR the most experienced ones seemed like those that could hide the best and make themselves the most invaluable. (Looking at you Straw). I feel like getting a more experienced player lynched could be a good thing and a bad thing. The good part being that whatever they end up having done they would have done it in the best interests of whomever side they are on, a second good thing is that if a newer player is on the elim team then it is harder to get a read on what they have done or were trying to do. The bad part is that we get rid of an experience player who can help out a lot more that a non- experienced player. I'll throw this post in because it has a similar argument to the one before. Maybe I'm just biased because I'm "experienced" but I dislike voting on someone because it would be bad if they were an eliminator. Well, I haven’t found a vote target yet. Time to go look through Coda’s posts... 1

The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Glad that we're slowly moving back towards analysis. Also, Experience.
Lahilt he/him Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Early on we had 3 votes on mist. that strikes me as a bit odd, was there a reason for that. or did they do something suspicious that I missed.
