Anniversary Game 7/Anonymous Game 9: From Embers, A Flame

[Chartreuse Penguin]

I'm going to once again request that Prudence create any requested PMs with me

[Violet Axolotl]

Oh, can I also have a PM with Opal Lion?  

[Azure Mouse]

[OOC:

PruTwo, draw back your bow
And let my message flow
Straight to Coral Swan's heart
For us, no, nobody else
But us, hey, hey, hey

 

PruTwo, please hear my cry
And let my message fly
Straight to Melon Dingo for us

 

Now listen
I don't want to bother you
But I'm in distress
There's danger of me losing
All of my trollness

 

For without your help
In conversing, I'm powerless

Oh, and this you can fix

 

So, PruTwo, draw back your bow
And let my message flow
Straight to Scarlet Octopus for us
Nobody else but us, hey, hey, hey

 

PruTwo, please hear my cry
And let my message fly
Straight to Onyx Ostrich's heart for us

 

Now, PruTwo, if your arrow
Makes their inbox cry from me
Well, I swear I'm
Gonna talk to them until eternity

I know between the both of us
Their inbox, we can kill
PruTwo, help me if you will

 

So, PruTwo, draw back your bow
And let my message flow
Straight to Flamingo's heart for us

No, nobody else but us, hey, hey, hey

PruTwo, please hear my cry
And let my message fly
Straight to the Scorpion's heart for us

 

N.B. PruTwo, if you don't want to die from the GMs' wrath, and especially the GMs really don't want this, I'm cool with any two from this. Honestly, I just saw the opportunity to write a song parody and went for it  ]

Sapphire Elephant (0): Quartz Zebra

 

Tenth of the Dusk frowned. He had been fairly certain that two voices had called for the removal of the worldhopper named by some as Sapphire Elephant. He distinctly remembered Amber Vulture arguing for Taupe Gecko's innocence relative to Sapphire Elephant's. Was this a mistake on the record, or some deliberate artifice, yet another plot from the morass that had emerged since yesterday? [OOC: @Elbereth, @little wilson - I'll @ in the GM PM and let you know there I'd prefer a thread clarification so there's less confusion since this is a voting issue  tldr; is this an actual action interaction, or just oversight?]

Tenth did not know. He felt out of his depth among the dangers and depravities of men. Hunting his quarry was another matter. Trapping was another matter. He fed nuts to Kaikoa, who squawked glumly.

"We will find them," he vowed, quietly, to the departed Endowment. [OOC: Sigh. Sorry Beagle. I wanted an answer, and I still disagree with the play, but I feel responsible since Mercy's ability would have worked the moment you accumulated more than 2 votes. @Elbereth, @little wilson - will @ again in GM PM, but more than 2 votes, Wilson said earlier in this thread. So 2 votes alone would not trigger Mercy's protection?]

One way or another, Tenth thought to himself that the worldhopper known as Taupe Gecko would have to die.

There were too many coincidences. That was the problem. Either the Gecko was the most unlucky man in the Cosmere, or there was enemy action. And one way or another, it did not matter: in Tenth's eyes, cold practicality demanded the Gecko's removal by one means or another, if only to achieve clarity about the events of the past two days. If only to stop all of them from wondering, or returning to deliberate on the Gecko again, allowing others of Odium to hide in the shadows. [OOC: tldr; I'm more or less in the 'Gecko delenda est' camp now because fundamentally, I think the pragmatics demands it. I dislike acting on pragmatics too often in a SE game because that's how you get the Village agreeing to slaughter a Villager for his 'items' in LG7, but this is different enough, and Gecko has dominated the discussion for long enough - let's get the information and move on. Would prefer if Ruin's investee or someone with a kill item one-shotted Gecko for us, but oh well.]

Oversight. Obviously doesn't change the removal results. Elephant ends up with a single vote on them.

Sorry - 2 or more votes. A person needs at least 2 votes to be a valid removal candidate.

[Charcoal Hyena]

Alas, I hit submit too soon. Ignore this now, until the moon.
Update: Still not done, just wait for fun.
Update: At long last, it is complete. I hope you also find it neat.

It seems that in the night,
The voices all will stop.
To keep up the good fight,
I will set up shop
As an analyst of posts,
And all the things we've said.
I will do my upmost
To analyse the thread.

On the first day much was said.
With many words draped in red.

Axolotl led
With banter and a vote on
The Scorpion thing.

Then Vatorr made toys
And did nothing noteworthy.
Just some banter here.

The Elephant marched
In with a drunken stumble.
Nothing important.

Then I came in with
Poetry about the game.
Nothing much of note.

The Kangaroo proposes a very strange plan.
The neutral Shards should claim to all the land.
It also requests PMs with every single player,
But that's not as important as their idea about sayers.

The Crocodile claims Braize and exists.
Though ignorance and confusion both persist.

Flamingo also doesn't know what is going on.
It doesn't even know who it is, like a newborn faun.

The Penguin, ever the mimicker, asks for messages
With everyone that exists and all the vestiges.

The Axolotl questions why the Penguin has no thoughts
That are not stolen from someone else's pot.

The Penguin copies, and Flamingo calls them out
With exclamations and a mighty shout.

The Gecko tries and fails at being human.
Perhaps it should try to be a new man.

Elephant chastises the people for not knowing what's going on,
Since it is unbelievably drunk yet ideas still do spawn.

Penguin copies everything.
One day it will learn to sing.

Axolotl talks to the Elephant.
For once, it does not rant.

The Elephant responds in words of drunkenness
And comments how Roshar is dangerous.

The Rhino finds itself in desert wastes,
Without an identity or name or face.

The Axolotl notes that avoiding Roshar is mere common sense
As no one wants to go to where the murder will commence.

The Lion lives in Shadesmar in the form of a rat.
That was not what was intended, but we decided that.

The Voice of God clarifies extorting Prudence for conversation.
It can happen at any time throughout the entire nation.

The Zebra predicts false highstorms
Which seems to be its norm.

Penguin speaks copied
Words from the Great Voice of God
Requesting PMs.

Axolotl asks
For protection from Hatred
And PMs with Drunk.

Weasel imprisoned
For theft of valuables.
It's not a good thief.

The Tuatara
Offers prophecy about
Our fate. We are doomed.

Gorilla throws a vote on the Roo
For proposing Shards claim.
That takes two people off the kill list,
And clears them of blame.

The Axolotl
Agrees and may vote for
The Kanga later.

Heron throws a vote
At Octopus for "reasons"
I don't like this much.

Zebra votes Penguin
For banter reasons, just fluff.
Pay it no mind here.

The Kangaroo points out that Survival and Autonomy
Are neutral Shards that can't Invest, and thus have no value
For the Champions, and so they won't be killed and we
Won't waste time executing the useless ones, which is true.

Elephant responds to things
While alcohol drinking.

Crocodile wants PMs with Opal,
Sapphire, and Charcoal.
It could be distancing,
But since Opal is Pru
And Ele and I are speaking,
I hope this is not true.

Rhino makes some notes about
The planet and its reams of doubt.
Some PM requests with odd
Numbered players.

Axolotl disagrees with the Roo,
But lays off them in favor of
The one they agreed with earlier,
Which is odd and a bit rough.

Ostrich wants a family,
Since they lack this, as you see.

The Beagle offers travel tips
To the Orchid that does not exist.

Albatross points out that though Odium is dangerous,
The Rosharan system offers benefits that may offset the risk.
Get out of Roshar, the bird advises us,
And Preservation could save, in a pinch.

The Gorilla notes that there was nothing much of note,
And therefore nowhere else to put its vote.

The Axolotl notes that the Gorilla could have waited
Instead of throwing a vote on obvious targets that baited.

The Gecko thinks that voting often is superior,
But this one isn't trustworthy, so perhaps it is inferior.

The Gorilla thinks that doing nothing is quite bad,
And discussion should be provoked by stabbing what we have.

The Axolotl concurs, but thinks the vote was hasty,
And begging for a train, which is not that tasty.

Crocodile throws a fuss about voting habits,
When it would rather be hunting rabbits.

Axolotl thinks 'twas not a poke vote at all,
So the complaint is not relevant to the brawl.

The Purple Crocodilian says that was the point
That they were trying to make without a sword.

Gorilla thinks that reasoning makes votes not pointy,
And asks Prudence for some PMs for anointing.

The Axolotl agrees that poke votes are bad
And they are arguing the same side, which is sad.

Scorpion the deathspren proclaims that it exists,
And wonders if the Dingo does as well.
After the poke vote discussion,
I'm surprised this person dared to cast this swell.

Ostrich wants to be adopted by the skeleton.
The unfortunate soul has lost parents a ton.

Coral Swan notes the risks inherent in the neutrals,
Which is true and should be noted for the future.

The Mouse wants PMs
And writes a song for them.

The Octopodes in a Trenchcoat does some thinking
About varied yet obvious things
They also want a bit of secret talking.

The Voice of God declares that notifying
Is permitted and to stop screaming.

The Mouse begs for Mercy,
Of which they shall not receive

Lion searches for the answers
That it does not find and can't swear.

I, the poet, am a fool
Who writes words with tools.

Mouse stabs Iggy with its words
Without reasoning but also without swords

Axolotl claims that my words are not rule specific,
Which is wrong and quite unfortunate.
They want more PMs,
And tell a story about the olden times of fortunates.

The Dragonfly exists and wants
PMs to match its jolly jaunts.

Vulture buys some turnips
And asks for PM slips.

The Elephant throws a vote at
Crocodile for distracting the tenset.

The Mouse goes a'hunting
With a bird by its side.
The future was humming
With triumph and pride.

Crocodile retaliates with reasoning
That is quite good, you have to see.
To be fair, I didn't like the Axolotl
For their change in opinion at full throttle.

Then again, as the Axolotl notes,
There wasn't much substance behind any vote.

The Crocodile agrees, but thinks
That it disincentives votes and things.

The Lion thinks that all early
Votes have poor reasoning
And throws one on the Croc
For not acknowledging.

The Crocodile backtracks
And says they will think,
But Lion's vote is strange,
And worthy of some time sink.

The Gorilla thinks
Conversation is quite good.
Coral Swan seems vil.

Axolotl needs
Some cough drops or medicine.
That's not good for throats.

Iguana offers some.
Perhaps it is the one.

Axolotl thanks
The iguana for trying.
Test it for poison.

The Lion did not
Know that Croc had votes. Besides,
It's not for a grudge.

Dingo shows at last.
Claiming bad. Asking is NAI.
Niru Drash is God.

The Iguana's cure
Does not work that well, it seems.
It causes coughs though.

The Voice of God! (BOW)
And a vote count, all hail.
Bow before the Voice.

Rhino does some tests.
It's very inconclusive.
Sand is course and rough.

The Penguin coughs
Which must be quaffed

Crocodile can't
Understand the vibes that are
In abundance there.

Lion understands,
And knows that it will not stand.
Summon the new band!

Crocodile still
Does not understand the way
Of the vibe. The fool.

Axolotl wants
To sleep, so needs a brief form
Of all of the posts.

Penguin still coughs lots.
Get better soon, tot.

Crocodile flings the vote
On Kangaroo for its note
About the neutral Shards,
Since the strat is bad.

Gecko sees double.
This may be trouble.

Soren (Hyena)
Votes for Roo because that strat
Is bad. This was sus.

Gecko fixed double!
No more trouble!

Axolotl throws
A vote at Crocodile
For the train and votes.

The Hyena throws
Down reasoning based on the
PMs they had then.

Kangaroo hurls
Their reasoning and defense.
They want discussion.

The Axolotl
Does not comprehend PMs.
They ask, demanding.

Mouse shares confusion
But deciphers how 'twas done.
Clever little Mouse.

Lion thinks claiming
Helps Champions more than vil
So claiming is bad.

Axolotl wants
PMs with a drunk and a
Coral Swan, says he.

Hyena offers
A summary of pros/cons.
Explains Invention.

Axolotl gets confused by
Shards and neutrals, and where they lie.

The Hyena offers explanation
For the creature's accommodation.

Axolotl comprehends,
And bids them a good night to spend.

Albatross agrees
That claiming is bad, but still
Roo is not that sus.

The Voice of God says
To remember the end

Again, Voice of God.
Prudence PMs are instant.
Items nonsense too.

The Mouse gives a song
To Axolotl Brockett.
It was quite good, too.

Heron wants PMs with rocks.
Maybe to show off its socks.

Elephant thinks that
Broadcasting lack of reads is
Odd, showing aloof.

Flamingo returns.
Votes on Croc because the Roo
Seems fine and harmless.

The Mouse was ignored.
It was probably a bore.

Opal Lion wants PMs,
And so does the Flamingo.
The Albatross concurs,
And notes the vote's not locked though.

The Scorpion of Death finds the claiming
To be an alright course of action, though not amazing.

Zebra wants more options
Than the two we have.
So he votes Gorilla as discussion
And agreeing with the Croc.

Ostrich will not vote
Since they are going to sleep.
They also note
That Prudence is so sweet.

Gorilla asks for
Elaboration on votes.
They've all been lacking.

Vulture says that strange
Things are likely said by vil
Since elims hate risk.

Croc pours on the desperation,
Calling out across the nation,
"I'm innocent!"
"It just makes sense!"
Begging for a stay of execution.

Gecko votes on Kangaroo,
Which only adds to my suspicions.
I'm certain they're elim,
Join my petition!

The Penguin speaks
With a strange beak

The Elephant finds
Flamingo more suspicious
Than Crocodile.

Kangaroo votes Croc
Out of self-preservation.
This pays off later.

And the Voice of God
Exclaims: "Time is up now. Hush."
Bow before the Voice!

 

In conclusion: Gecko's obviously guilty.
Axolotl was a tad bit strange.
I don't know much about the rest,
But I must depart for a great time range.

Farewell, goodbye.
I'll return when the end is nigh.

Hyena please finish your poetry, or I’m afraid you will be removed.  

(Only a joke, please don’t murder me.)

[Turquoise Gorilla]

Well, I'll do my best to carry on my analysis, although catching up with the thread seems like an effort potentially made in vain, unless I decide to give up more sleep than I wish to.

Charcoal Hyena:

Quote

I do agree that we should perhaps consolidate our votes
As rollover lies in wait for us in the morn
And many of us sleep in the hours until that post
That ends the turn and puts us in suspense.

As such, I choose to vote for Sage Kangaroo
Since their point about neutrals' claiming is quite odd.
Others have pointed this out before, but I see it too.
I don't understand why we would want this at all.

At best, I see a misguided villager.
At worst, a monster in disguise.
Odium's Champions are pillagers,
And frankly, this is one of our few leads.

Day One deaths are never guided
By the knowledge that death brings
And though we are misguided
The interactions are quite useful.

I am not the most convinced by the reasoning given here for Charcoal Hyena's vote on Sage Kangaroo. Their reason for voting is identical to my own, made at the very beginning of the cycle, with this towards the end, where plenty of other (more valuable) information had been generated. No more than a mild elim read on this, though, if at all.

Violet Axolotl:

Quote

Second, Crocodile, *cough* you just *cough did literally the exact reason I *cough* voted Gorilla. But since I'm a bit more *cough* lax and cooled off on *cough* them, this point isn't as strong. Gorilla. For *cough* now.

Third, Crocodile. I don't recall what *cough* the first vote on you was, but the *cough* second was definitely not from past *cough* grudges. At least not totally. *cough* Suffice it to say, this *cough* vote is not because of yours.

Fourth, I have a village read *cough* on Kangaroo despite the *cough* question. Something, maybe experience, tells me Odium's chosen *cough* wouldn't be so obvious. I'm wary of all jumping on *cough* that train, hence my vote on Croc. Hyena doesn't look good to me *cough* either, what with the huge poem fillers with no *cough* game-relevant information, and that added to their vote. *cough*.

Strong village read on Violet Axolotl for this post, effectively flipping the lynch focus  back onto Crocodile. 

Azure Mouse:

Quote

This confusion was something Tenth of the Dusk had shared. On Sel, the other worldhopper [OOC: Turquoise Gorilla] had also claimed that the Shard Prudence was capable of approving in-thread PMs instantaneously. Tenth had questioned him on it. After all, was it not known that Prudence took at least a day to establish communications? But then a voice had spoken, from the sky, as thunder [OOC: @little wilson] and had confirmed that the worldhopper spoke truthfully.

Tenth was still trying to make sense of things. He found the other worldhopper's mannerisms a little strange: after all, all knew [OOC: cf. ruleset] about that quirk of Prudence's powers. He suspected from what the thunderous voice had said that the worldhopper had conferred with that voice, though whether in private or in odious company, [OOC: PM or doc] Tenth did not know. He did not have strong reasons to think one way or another, only a lingering sense of unease.

Azure here responds to Violet Axolotl calling into question Charcoal Hyena having been able to PM on D1.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about setting Azure on edge for asking questions of the GMs - it is, to me, something completely NAI.

Opal Lion:

Quote

First question: Why not mention Invention? they are, like Autonomy and Survival, a neutral party. Yet you only name those two? 

I think that them claiming is...scary, from a village perspective.

Opal, in response to Sage Kangaroo asking for opinions on their neutrals claiming idea.

I think Invention might be thought to be at greater risk of being killed by the eliminators to prevent items going to the village, but I'm not sure I agree with that argument strongly - the neutral shards are quite capable of offering value to both sides, and to provide incentive for both to work with them.

Magenta Albatross:

Quote

I don't feel like I have enough information yet to be able to make a decision about who to execute. If only I could see into the future, like with Atium but much farther. Hmmm... an F tin/A atium twinborn would be able to store up future sight and tap it as intensely as needed, but you'd need a lot of atium to be able to see far enough into the future to get information about who's on Odium's side. Oh yes! Odium! I completely forgot about that for a moment. I'm in favor of starting to search for him and his champions as soon as possible, but I'm not that good at reading people. (OOC: This is true both in character and out of character) Having neutral shards claim seems like too clear of a bad idea for somebody on Odium's side to try to pass as an honest, good suggestion and not in favor of a death penalty for bad ideas, so I don't think I'll vote on that weirdly green kangaroo. 

I'm afraid I really do not like this post. It was D1. There is never enough information for D1 lynches. Backing out of trying to engage anyway both ensures the low-information game state is perpetuated, and is a brilliant way to avoid being analysed yourself.

The second part I have emphasised here also makes me feel uncomfortable. Not quite "virtue-signalling", but stating an obvious good thing, and not participating in it at all reminds me of many inexperienced eliminators I've seen historically.

I would be very keen to hear from @Magenta Albatross further, but would also consider them a valid lynch target even on the basis of this post alone.

[Turquoise Gorilla]

Carrying on my analysis, as I've just had a commitment cancelled and thus have more time. Hopefully someone posts whilst I'm writing this, as I'd prefer not to double post.

Sapphire Elephant:

Quote

"Hmmmhmmmm rubs me off wrong this 'un. neva felt good bout them people sayin they not good at readin others. feel like they beein deliberately aloof. might be attributed to character they playin' buut might be overplayin that a bit. heyyy! tell us all a story bout a mouse named lorry"

Sapphire Elephant seems to get the same discomfort from Magenta Albatross' post as I have. Mild village read from this - but I can't recall whether their view evolves later on.

Onyx Flamingo:

Quote

i do think that neutral shards shouldn't feel like they have to claim. part of the fun is getting to decide how they want to play, which team to support!! hard to do that if everyone's telling you what to do. 

also, can we please not have the do we vote on c1 debate again?? thank you!!

also also, i did a thing!!

mauve crocodile (3): opal lion, sapphire elephant, violet axolotl
chartreuse penguin (1): quartz zebra
melon dingo (1): amethyst scorpion
sage kangaroo (3): turquoise gorilla, mauve crocodile, charcoal hyena
scarlet octopus (1): mint heron

and now, i vote we exe mauvy crocy. mostly because i don't think our pal the kangaroo has done much to anyone yet, and i just don't like how that counterlynch came out of nowhere.

As an aside, I strongly support Onyx Flamingo's position on letting neutral players have fun. Well worth remembering that as a good way to approach games.

Strong village read on Onyx Flamingo for this, breaking the vote back onto an eliminator late in the cycle. Unless Sage Kangaroo is also an eliminator (which I seriously doubt), I would clear Onyx Flamingo for this.

Azure Mouse:

Quote

As the discussions went on, and the worldhoppers began to suggest candidates for mobbing, Tenth wondered if it was better to know who was on Braize and who was on First of the Sun. Perhaps not everyone, but it certainly seemed relevant where any attempt to make sense of the voting was concerned. (Voting. They did things differently, off First of the Sun, but Tenth was still struggling to wrap his mind around the custom of voting for who you most wanted to kill instead of doing it yourself. After all, the Father had taught him this: if you wanted to kill a man, it was best he didn't see you coming.)

A sensible enough suggestion regarding vote altering locations - particularly as the eliminators are much more likely to have this knowledge anyway by virtue of having players on multiple planets and a doc to coordinate.

Coral Swan:

Quote

I don't like that we've locked between Sage and Mauve. Villagers are more likely to make controversial suggestions. Mauve started off complaining about poke votes, which Turquoise's vote for Sage was not, but then expands that to not wanting to hear about the efficacy of having a D1 vote even if there's little evidence, which is a discussion Turquoise and Violet were having and does come up frequently in games. Mauve fearing for their life more than twelve hours before rollover and jumping on Sage is a better reason for the Mauve vote; I have seen elims panic like that and controversial suggestion doesn't equal ill intent. Villagers afraid for not having a team's support can also exhibit a fear response, but as a double voter, this is less likely and there's more of a responsibility to find a good vote target. Actual vote will come before rollover, Enoras decided.

Normally I'm not keen on throwing suspicion on a player and then not voting for them, particularly as votes can be retracted. I'm not sure how to feel about this one - I get a village gut read on this post, but it could well be the case that they sort village reads if Mauve flipped without wanting to make that more likely.

Edit: Will possibly end up triple posting - ended up sending this before I meant to, and am still plodding on through the thread.

I... I didn’t even think of mentioning it. To be completely honest, I don’t know why the thought never occurred to me.

What were you thinking when you voted for Beagle in "self-preservation"? You would have known that you wouldn't die no matter how many votes you had. It seems more like you were actively hoping to hide the fact that Mercy had Invested in you.

I'll predict there isn't a Ruin Investee just because of how few people capable of being Invested there are, but there are other kill items and Mercy cannot protect Gecko again.

[Turquoise Gorilla]

Post above continued.

Quartz Zebra:

Quote

I’ll move my vote from Penguin to Gorilla. I did some recalculations based on the position of Braize, the number of Nightmaws on Patji (don’t ask), and the angular momentum of the Everstorm. Unfortunately, my results show that the next highstorm will occur 3 days after the death of Gorilla. In the interests of saving the Rosharan ecosystem, Gorilla must die.

Something about agreeing with the other vote on Gorilla and wanting more options.

I'm not that keen on this post, for reasons aside the obvious fact Quartz Zebra is voting for me. Their reason for their vote (agreeing with the other vote on me (which was at the time retracted anyway)) feels very flimsy - the previous vote had been made in entirely different circumstances, and they didn't provide any justification for why they agreed with it. That said, with time to reflect on it, and given the circumstances of the votes on Mauve, I am slightly less wary of them - I think I was an unlikely lynch target at this point, and not really a viable option for a push to save Mauve.

Amber Vulture:

Quote

Soon, a mob began to form, calling for the execution of either this Kangaroo or Crocodile. And a plot began to form in Mendra's mind. She'd certainly never cooked with crocodile meat before - this could be an opportunity.

She added her voice to the crowd. "The Crocodile speaks lies! They are a traitor who works for Odium! Down with the Crocodile!"

---

I disagree with Kangaroo's suggestion that Shards should claim, but I also think a controversial suggestion like that is more likely to be made by a Villager than an Elim, because a controversial claim like that is going to attract unwanted scrutiny and is a big risk for an Elim to make. (Of course, that quickly becomes an IKYK, but I don't have any bad gut reads on Kangaroo either.) It also makes an easy candidate for a mislynch that the Elims might want to hop onto, and of the votes on Kangaroo, Crocodile's gave me the worst gut read (though he was the leading candidate at the time, so I can also see it being a self-preservation vote, but... eh, it's Day 1, and I don't have any better ideas, unfortunately.)

Getting too tired to analyse much of the content of posts. That said, worth noting again that frankly any vote at this stage of the cycle on Mauve Crocodile is more likely to be from a villager than an eliminator bussing him.

Taupe Gecko:

Quote

D1 votes are always quite rough

In reality their really just fluff

In this case, I feel bad bout both

They just really, arn't quite a oath

In this case I feel, the more reasoning here

Is for the shrew,

Sage Kangaroo

By not a lot,

but better then naught

Not much to say here, given later developments last cycle and their convenient survival this last cycle.

Trying to interpret this is giving me a headache, but essentially condemns Sage to death without mentioning them once - which feels pretty off. Perhaps too overt for an eliminator, though.

With my headache and reaching the end of D1, going to leave it here for a bit, but will return to press on later this evening.

Just a quick opinion I have:

There's no reasonable downside to saying which planets you're on. 

The Elims most likely have people spread out enough that they know where everyone is, and so when you don't tell people where you are, for fear of the elims finding out, you're mostly just hurting the village. 

in my opinion.

If the elims have anyone gathering intel on First of the Sun, it must be Gecko. The other two people there haven't been in the doc.

It is now 12 hours until rollover. (Yes, this means rollover is being bumped back an hour, to 9 am MST - the rollover period will remain 2 hours; you just get an extra hour this turn). Get your actions and worldhopping orders in!

I ask about the writeup?

No!!!

I am the one! The Only! there is no, has not, will not ever be another Prudence!\

All of this defiance will not do. even "Prudence" is no longer enough. 

if you desire your PMs to stay open, I expect to be addressed with a fitting Honorific. No more messing about! I will hear none of it!
