The contract is obviously between the killers and their hirers! Be very careful now. Hopefully we can acquire more clues.

Gears Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 @Kasimir, are there actually clues to solve the murder mystery or are we just trying to kill the killers?

It's a normal Elimination game. There is an underlying mystery to be solved into the write-ups, for which I have seeded clues, but it won't be the same as the Elimination "find the Killers/Team Evil/Eliminators" thing. I like getting meta about the game, but the way to finding the Killers remains the same in this game - voting, discussion, and the judicious use of abilities on the part of those who have acquired them.

Something ‘bout seeking out life in the middle of death. Lord Tal used to ramble ‘bout these things a lot. I like it though. Sounds profound. Hahaha, Kas! You turned my suspicion into an innuendo! Loving the write-ups. xD As for the eliminator kill, I'm going to go semi-meta seeing as how Araris seems to have been fear-killed. Makes me think the suggestion or the kill was made by someone with thorough, or at least a decent understanding of how dangerous Araris could be. There are probably a lot of such players but maybe we can cross-reference it with the ones who voted for Silber and get a suspect pool. I'll get the names a bit later. But apparently, there's Biochromatic Breath in the game? Along with other roles? Could one of the roles be a Nalthian?
DrakeMarshall he/him Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Hmph, I would have liked to have been online towards the end of last cycle, but more on that later. I have some work I need to do right now that should most likely take a couple of hours, and after that I'm planning to spend some time figuring things out with this game. I will look forward to reading what looks like a pretty involved writeup.
DrakeMarshall he/him Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 As of starting this post, it looks like it might end up being double post, but it's been 6 hours, and I'm also fairly sure editing votes into posts is frowned upon, so here we are. Reading the end of last cycle, imo the lynch on Silber didn't see nearly enough opposition to make it worthwhile. I'm a little wary of peoples just sort of letting that lynch slide and being comfortable with letting the discussion stop at that, but seeing as I also voted for Silber and wasn't around later to reconsider (I'd like to think I would have, although it's hard to say with hindsight), I am also partially to blame, so it would be hypocritical of me to pursue that line of reasoning very far. Hmmmm soft trust read on Vapor last cycle for temporarily voting on Araris cuz I kinda doubt the elims would bother to vote for the person they planned on killing. They were also the opposite lynch to Silber at the end not sure what to make of that. So uh. Same stuff about voting being important applies. Which is kinda frustrating bc I don't feel like there's a lot to go off of yet. For now, could I ask @A Windrunner A Windrunner to walk me through the reasoning for this post: Quote I want to change my vote from Striker to Devotary of Spontaneity, because their behaviour toward votes has been oddly suspicious, I think he might be trying to kill guests with votes. Could you explain what behaviors you had in mind and such? Looking back, the remark someone said about there being a lot going on with the game during C1 stuck in my head as a little sus since I feel an elim / non-village would be a little more likely to feel that way, but it's not really a significant enough thing that I'm gonna try and go find it rn. Anyways I haven't visited the Garden yet so time for some fresh air. Hoping to do more RP this cycle. I do have a reputation as a gossip to live up to, after all
Kasimir he/him Posted July 9, 2020 Author Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Heads-up to everyone: your usual GM clarificatory-and-what-not services will likely be suspended for this evening (my evening anyway) on account of your GM getting smitten/smited?/smote? by the killer migraine gods. Normal service will resume forthwith tomorrow morning. Basically: don't bank on swift answers for tonight, so plan accordingly if you intend to do something that depends on a clarification/rule.

Perhaps we have some worldhoppers among us. And sadly, Araris's item is lost to the void. Perhaps we will see it again one day. He did mention how ironic it was that he acquired it, so 'tis truly a shame that it has been unrendered. What item?

Now you have no reason to trust me but if you would, I think we can get rid of a killer.(trust no one) Now it's time for me to look outside and see what I can find in the garden(never mind it's the study now).

|TJ| he/him Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 2 hours ago, Gears said: He was unwilling to specify, sadly. He simply mentioned its irony. Maybe he meant it literally? Something made of Iron, perhaps a Spike? Koloss? Okay, so I promised I'll look into the players who have played with Araris long enough to fear-kill him so here goes: Quote Orlok, Striker, Eternum, Elbereth, Burnt Spaghetti, Xinoehp, Drake Marshall, Devotary, Mist Removing players who weren't active and didn't vote. Quote Orlok, Striker, Eternum, Elbereth, Burnt Spaghetti, Xinoehp, Drake Marshall, Devotary, Mist Huh, all 5 of them voted on Lord Silber. I'm willing to remove Burnt from the list, because her last post feels village (also, no more pretty art if we lynch her ) . I'll also remove Drake because he voted for Lord Silber first, and wasn't there when the train formed on him. Otherwise as well, he seems to drive discussion and gives off a village vibe. Devotary seemed to vote on Lord Silber in response to the warning by Araris, so that's another name removed of the list. That leaves us with: Quote Orlok, Striker, Eternum, Elbereth, Burnt Spaghetti, Xinoehp, Drake Marshall, Devotary, Mist There could be a good possibility both could be elims. Not sure whom to choose over the other. Mist's response to Araris might be genuine, but also might be a little fake. Seriously, though I'm not used to active!Mist (in-thread), so that might be it. I'll vote for Mist now. But please, guys discuss whom to lynch. Mention your suspicions. Give reasons, and defend yourselves. We need a consolidated vote in order to prevent a hammer. I'd like to move to the Kitchen to see what in the rusts happened there.
Vapor she/her Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Where am I right now? I want to know for the purpose of RP. @TJ Shade, why do you think @Mist is elim? I would like to know more reasoning.
Mist she/her Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 @Vapor, check for a room PM. That's where you are. It should have the name of the room in the title.
Wind he/him Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 I think you are in the kitchen Vapor. Devotary of Spontaneity is who I will be voting for unless someone can prove that I shouldn't , help voting for them would be appreciated.
Gears Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 The following is the summary of the votes last cycle: Mist votes Striker [poke] Araris votes Vapor [poke] Vapor votes Araris [poke] Drake votes Silber [poke] TJ votes Gears [poke] Vapor retracts Araris. Araris retracts Vapor and votes Striker [If people don't vote, the elims could hammer to lynch the secretary, so he wants to consolidate a lynch target] Gears votes Silber [Agrees with Araris, but thinks Striker shouldn't be lynched since he died D1 in the LG] Devotary votes Silber [Agrees with Araris, comments on the possibility that Araris is warning people because the elims decided not to hammer and wants a mislynch, reads Drake as village] Vapor votes Striker. Windrunner votes Striker [follows Vapor] Mist retracts Striker and votes Silber [since he died D1] xino votes Silber [Striker dies too early too often] Araris retracts Striker and votes Mist. [since he died D1] Mystic votes Vapor [randomly] TJ retracts Gears and votes Vapor. Windrunner retracts Striker and votes Devotary [suspicious with votes] Lahlit votes Vapor [better than Silber] Burnt votes Silber [Vapor hasn't had a chance to respond] Conclusion: None of these votes are alignment indicative. They appear to be incentivised by a wish to not be hammered by the elims voting to lynch the secretary. The only vote with reasoning is Windrunner's, and I don't particularly understand it, but they've already explained it, so I'll let it slide. I still don't know who to vote for. Options: Windrunner [since I don't understand their vote], Devotary [for those who do understand Windrunner's reasoning], Mist [for causing this lynch]. None of these are good options. If anyone else has any ideas, please share.

I would like to know more reasoning. Um, I just explained in the post I made. Basically a process of elimination from the list of people most likely to fear-kill or recommend fear-killing Araris.
Mist she/her Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 TJ is voting for me because I've played long enough with Araris to know he's dangerous. He's not sure about my reaction to Araris. TJ, at that point, I was kind of panicking. I'm trying to be more active. I also need to be better at being okay with short/incomplete posts. Spoiler On 7/7/2020 at 2:16 PM, Mist said: We have less than 19 hours in the cycle. We need to discuss! We shouldn't rely only on the elims not wanting to end the game early! Xino, thoughts? On 7/6/2020 at 3:42 PM, Mist said: Lynch discussion! Striker, any thoughts? I like that Drake tried to encourage discussion. @A Windrunner, we've started. 1 minute ago, Gears said: Mist votes Striker [poke] Mist [for causing this lynch]. It was more of a stab vote, although I ended up moving it because he died early. He had been on the Shard, and I believe the page, since my vote on him. I caused this lynch? I contributed, but I didn't cause it. Kitchen Keep in mind, the elims have less communication than normal this game.
Gears Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Just now, Mist said: I caused this lynch? I contributed, but I didn't cause it. You pinged everyone and said that if we didn't vote, we would be hammered by the elims.
|TJ| he/him Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Okay as I said I'm kinda curious to see active!Mist, so I'd be willing to change my vote to Xino since they are the other name on the list. Anybody with me?

Now you have no reason to trust me but if you would, I think we can get rid of a killer.(trust no one) Now it's time for me to look outside and see what I can find in the garden. See, the thing is, is that an elim would want to vote people out... But so would a villager. When you are looking to find something alignment indicative, you can't just stop at "an elim would do this." You gotta look at whether an elim would be any more likely to do that thing than a villager in the same situation. An elim might want to vote other people out, but a villager should definitely want to vote other people out, because that's the only way we can win. But yeah, whether I agree with you or not isn't really relevant to my trusting you. Thanks for elaborating on your reasoning here, it helps at least a little. How about this. You said if I extend to you my trust, you think we can get rid of a killer. Do you have anyone in mind other than Devotary? If it's all the same I would rather not lynch my top trust read, but at this stage of the game I'd be fine with agreeing on a different lynch you suggest.
