Flyingbooks Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 "Even if we can't agree on a plan, we should at least know which plan everyone is using. All of us - though not the butterflies, you horrible fluttering miasma of insects, you might be thought of as beautiful by people who don't have to deal with you all the time but you aren't official members of the dragon hunters so please don't mess up my written vote - should write down the plan that we're using in purple and cancel using a plan in orange. I think that, at the very least, we should all announce who we voted for tomorrow so that the dragon bait can't hide their votes no matter which plan we choose." Hop writes down "Vote for someone other than myself and announce it tommorow" on a piece of paper, which is suddenly covered by a swarm of butterflies that smudge the fresh ink. Hop sighs in annoyance.

Gears Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Just now, Illwei said: Gears name the last game you died early in? LG73 - Survived MR48 - D5 QF50 - Survived AG - Survived QF49 - Survived LG72 - D7 MR46 - D5 QF48 - D4 If this is wrong let me know lmao, but the earliest you've died in the last 8 games is D4, and that's not 1) that early or 2) enough to warrant people giving you a break for it :P. especially when you've survived half of the past 8 games lmao LG71. Look, I just really like the idea of being in a position of power and needed a way to justify it. Imagine the visuals. Wielder, flint, steel, "Stand down!", life upon the elder stair, knives, blood tracing paths down empty skin. It's beautiful, Casper, listen to me. Velvet and charcoal and siren's song, and imagine the taste of metal in your mouth. Now, while I have your attention, thoughts on my proposals? Visions of bloodshed dance behind your eyelids with teeth and claws, gleaming in the moonlight. You remember the Empires of old, the great Conquest, but you also remember their Downfalls. You will Take and you will Kill, but you will not Tithe, you will not Punish. You will carve your mark upon this Land, but you will not set it afire. This, the mark of a Lord. First, the bow. Then, the dragons. Next, the world. [OOC: How did this happen? This wasn't supposed to be the RP arc. It was supposed to be subservience, not conquest. This game is like Monopoly. I didn't mean for the game to be like Monopoly. This is so weird. Why do all the shadows have teeth?] 1

Mat he/him Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 "Good sir, I would like to agree with the plan you have concocted, for its logic is sound. Unfortunately, your butterflies have covered the formatting- odd that those things hang around you- and I cannot see it. As it is, I will simply bold it. Vote for someone other than myself and announce it tomorrow! If someone has a better idea, I'll italicize it and bold the new one."
dannnex male Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 oh heck, the dialogue only RP is looking fun... belatedly signing up a character. And ya know what? Just for the lolz, I'm bringing back "Notani N Quisitor, Murder Hornet Trainer and Comically Large Sunglasses Enthusiast", because this game already feels like it's going to be pretty silly, so why not bring back my silliest character. "Hello all, it is I, Notani N Quisitor, Murder Hornet Trainer and Comically Large Sunglasses Enthusiast. Would anyone like a bee? I think we should all just vote for ourselves, and then vote out whoever wins, since that person will most likely be Dragon Bait! Wait no, then the Bait will purposefully give it to someone else so they get a free kill... Hmmm. Okay I'm not sure what to do."

Shard of Reading he/him Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 "Hmmm.... I've always wondered if Dragons could be vegetarians. That means they would be friendly. Right?

dannnex male Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 "Hmm, well, I think the best plan is probably to just have everyone vote for themselves, and then we maybe vote out whoever wins. The Bait might vote to give it to one of their own, or they might give it to someone else. That's a 50/50 chance of randomly finding a bait, which is a lot better than the current odds of 3/12. I say that we should only maybe vote out whoever wins to make sure that we have some suitable ikyk going on. Because there's only a chance we vote out who gets it, the Bait has to actually decide to give it to one of themselves or one of us. Also @Flyingbooks your code phrase is "butterflies,". Sorry."

Reading, you seem incredibly attached to these "grammar police" of yours, and Books seems attached to butterflies, and based on what you said in that spoiler... Is this a secret? Reading, do you and Books have a secret? Give me your secret. I must know. Secrets secrets are no fun unless you share with me. The fangs protrude, the needles gleam, all comes to threaten thee. Sidenote: I'm almost certain that this plan will fail, and I say we all vote for ourselves and kill anyone who doesn't [demarcated by a person without a vote on them].

Reading and Matrim basically said elims will go for it, which is sorta stating the obvious. Illwei's post was more elaborate than that, and specifically the part "Vote for me" feels similar to "claim to me" stuff she does in her village games. I don't think it's NAI because I do not remember her doing this in MR48. Village points for this. 1 hour ago, Illwei said: still i think i said it the best but I can draw up a few graphs if that makes you guys feel better about voting for me ...graphs? what graphs 1 hour ago, Flyingbooks said: "We could potentially ask everyone not to vote and then kill the arbalist to get rid of a dragon-bait for free... but now the elims know this and they'd be able to fill up the dragons with one of our own for free. On second thought, let's just not, the butterflies would probably just mess that plan up somehow anyways. Voting on somebody who's relatively trusted then seeing if anyone has three votes on them or there are no opponents to the elected arbalist with more than one or two votes on them is probably a better plan that'd help us find the dragon bait, too." Yeah, this ain't it. This feels like you're planting the seeds to frame someone. It's like the 4th time someone has said "now that I've said this..elims know this" 1 hour ago, Illwei said: Also Im still voting for TJ so if yall all agree to not vote to try and RNG it then 1) the Elims will still get it and blame it on RNG or 2) TJ will get it and tbh I'm not trusting TJ all that much rn Okaaaay I don't know how to feel about this... It's..not a pocketing attempt nor a shade thrown? Unsure. Can't find a motive for elim!Illwei to do this. 1 hour ago, Shard of Reading said: "The simplest plan would to just vote for your most village trust and try to not over think the IKYK stuff. Yeah, I'm with this actually. Discussion's been mainly about the crossbow and we will have the elimination vote to assist the crossbow vote to find the elims, Reading feels village. 55 minutes ago, Gears said: Alternate proposal: Everyone vote for yourself. We then X anyone who doesn't have a vote on them in the end tally. This only works if everyone agrees, so keep this plan in reserve until we all agree unanimously. @Archer, what happens if the Arbalist gets X-ed D1? EX: Everyone votes for Illwei like an idiot, Illwei also gets X-ed, do we just lose the Arbalist? Alternate alternate proposal: Pick a person who has died C1 recently or has been frequently NK-ed. Give them the Crossbow so they won't keep getting NK-ed. [Yes, I realise that this is basically asking to give it to Books or Ruby, but I do solemnly swear that I don't actually want to give it to them. In fact, I'd prefer to have it myself because I die a lot, but alas, asking to have the item of immortality is basically asking to not have the item of immortality] Very alternate proposal: We kill the Arbalist. X whoever now [since no vote minimum], X the Arbalist next time, a NK, and then it's 6-3. We'd have to get an elim 3/4 cycles, but that's fine. This is a terrible idea. Don't do this idea. The whole point of the Arbalist is we give it to such a player who is dangerous as a villager, so the elims will not be able to NK them. Giving them the bow and eliminating them when they are supposed to be NK immune player doesn't sit right with me. Gears I'm not with Quinn's plan because elims might decide to frame someone, and if by chance villagers collectively vote in 3s for a player they'd be in suspicion, it creates a lot of IKYK confusion in general. Reading is my strongest village read right now, and I'm willing to vote for them now. NOT willing to vote for Books or Quinn. Both don't feel e/e together because of the coordination and plan agreement, but I don't trust them at all right now. Illwei would be a good candidate for the Arbalist (i.e. dangerous if village immune to NK as mentioned above) but the bit about voting on me while suspecting me to force everyone to vote when the cycle had just started makes me hesitate enough. Matrim fits this too, but he sorta shoehorned himself into the mindmeld and that's enough to make me not give him the bow. It sorta felt like a joke though, so not sure, but not seen enough village stuff anyway. Edit: Missed a bunch of stuff because I had checked only till end of page 2. Check next post.
