Flyingbooks Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) (OOC: I voted Gears because I wanted to switch from a poke vote onto someone who I'm at least a little bit suspicious of based on a not extremely attentive first read-through. It was never meant to be permanent, just a sort of informed poke vote until I made this list. Making reads lists is so much easier when there are so few people. Gears: Null. Suggests a terrible idea, but says that it’s a terrible idea and that it should not be done. Is using the plan we all vote for ourselves and kill anyone who doesn't. Wants the crossbow, which I now think is NAI after reading through the thread again. Random Bystander: Null. Is planning to vote for herself to get the crossbow because she only trusts herself, but that seems typical for her. Reading: Null+. Seems to be committed to a simple, straightforward, non IKYK-y plan, which I give slight village points for. Also has a secret code role, which I think would be less likely for an elim because they already have lots of deception on their hands. On the other hand, my paranoia is telling me to not trust my village read and my assumption and is thinking that his sticking to a straightforward plan is just an elim trying to blend in. Does anyone have any information on how troll-y a GM Archer is? TUO: Null-. They only have 2 posts, one saying that Mat should read them as village (which makes me gut-read them as suspicious) and one responding to Archer jokingly(?) suggesting that there could possible be only one elim. Dannex: Null- to Mild elim. He came up with a plan that’s really tenuous and maybe-ish (that’s not even a word, but it’s the impression that I’m getting of it) and seems too eager to find a reason to defend it. He mixed up odds and possible options, which isn’t suspicious in and of itself, but here it seems like he’s trying to fabricate good features of his plan. On the other hand, he did suggest a plan that similarly depends on the elim response to it a few MRs ago, but this one seems much more easily manipulatable and based on little evidence than the other one. Ashbringer: Null. His only non-rp-only thing was just saying that he wants the crossbow, which I think is pretty NAI for him. XP: Null because of inactivity TJ: Null+. In favor of the simpler, non-IKYKish plan, slight gut read Mat, Quinn, Illwei: I’m not even going to try to read each of them by their posts. It’s too late in the night for that. If anyone has reasoning for any of them being village/elims, I’ll probably just take that for my reads of them. Sorry if I missed some people's posts, this took a while and I didn't want to lose all of it to the Shard, devourer of reads lists) "On second thought, Gears isn't as suspicious as I thought before I replayed this. At least the butterflies are good for replaying pasts scenes. On the other hand, Dannex's plan is looking pretty suspicious, he's pushing it very hard to be the plan that everyone follows. He's ignoring its flaws and it seems almost like he's trying to play off its dependence on the elims' knowledge as a feature. Does that seem like non-dragon-bait to you? I think not." The butterflies stopped swarming in the shapes of people talking and returned to their usual maliciousness levels. (OOC edit to avoid double posting: Well, I sure am good at appearing suspicious on D1 when I'm a villager. I blame it on all of the elim games that I've had recently. I think that I've forgotten how to think like a villager and I need to get back into the habit.) Edited March 2, 2021 by Flyingbooks

Illwei Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Okay the reads list honestly isn't helping me it's not the content but the fect that it exists at all but we wait and see mmhm
The Unknown Medallion he/him Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Mat, I'm never active from 4-9, I'll post if I see a reason to post.
Quintessential she/her Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 @Illwei my vote was still on you because I had to go to bed, and you hadn't removed your vote yet anyway. Illwei I don't like either of the options right now; Gears and TJ? Seriously? I don't see the reasoning for TJ at all--can you really blame him for the faulty argument? Barely anyone has said anything now and that was hours ago. Gears... idk about Gears... Know what? I'm just gonna leave this a tie. We'll see what happens ig.
Mat he/him Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Awake now. Too early ...Alright, I'm kinda with Quinn on this one. Not loving the TJ or Gears trains after sleeping on them, including how little resistance they had other than me :P. I thought we agreed to not vote out the actives as much; this cycle's PoE was virtually the four active people. I'm nervously voting Dannex... I had sort of come to this conclusion before I saw Books' post, and I don't think it changes too much for my vote- I had sussed Books for their bandwagon, which they defended there and switched out with a vote that I found reasonable- Dannex's inconsistent plan was not a good one and he seemed to want IKYKs for some reason. Which is not a village thing imo. (Also, I'm gonna disagree that the reads list isn't helpful, Illwei- I found it helped my read of Books pretty good.) I have a morning workout from in twenty minutes to twenty minutes before rollover. I should be on before though.

Wait, you think the reasoning I had is NAI? How, explain? And Quinn agrees that it was NAI okaaay 18 hours ago, Matrim's Dice said: I mean, we have this cycle to determine if we trust the crossbow person, too. We just won't know who it is until tomorrow. We have only this cycle to trust the person, as according to Gears' plan which was to "X someone else this turn, exe CBP in the next" (I'mma start abbreviating) This post here was a headache to read through, this strong push but vastly different from the MR48 C3 push on Quinn because elim!Illwei would not be in such a pressure to push and it's C1 rather than C3 so it would be an odd push for an elim to do. 17 hours ago, Quintessential said: lso, what if they decide to just kill the person who would receive the Bow? @Archer you were the one who proposed the voting plan originally, right? Is it possible that the bait could manage to kill the person we choose before we can give them the crossbow for their own protection?" There's no C1 elim kill. I don't know if this is genuine or an act to make the village paranoid, but I get the feeling that it's the former. 16 hours ago, Quintessential said: I'm not attacking you, I'm attacking your plan. That's why I'm not voting you. 15 hours ago, Quintessential said: Illwei @Illwei @Archer because you actually have no reason to be voting for me at this point, or if you do I can't find it, and the tone of your most recent posts feels off and way more... not even defensive, because I think I've made it clear that I'm not even attacking you? So there's nothing to be defensive about? I don't even know what it is, but it's there. Suspicion for this as she says she's not voting and then immediately votes for Illwei in the very next post. 12 hours ago, Quintessential said: Don't see why this is a reason to attack me specifically, seeing as you're the only one in this game so far who has expressed any willingness to announce their vote beforehand in-thread. Yeah, not true, as I've literally stated that I'll be voting for Reading. 10 hours ago, Archer said: Vote Count: (I think this is right. Let me know if I missed anything) Gears (1): Flyingbooks Quinn (1): Illwei Illwei (1): Quinn I've got my vote on Gears, though the vote count has obviously changed. 9 hours ago, Matrim's Dice said: I know I said earlier that this seemed TWTBAW but wow it's incredible how many bad vibes I get from this. So many incorrect thingys. Yeah, I disagree with this btw, Dannex feel like his usual village self. Disagree with the whole post obviously, but feel like that's a usual thing for village!Dannex to make. 10 hours ago, Illwei said: Hi welcome to static vote central TJ Shade Yeah, I think it sorta settles the village read on Illwei *checks the is-illwei-sus doc* village points longer than sus points and definitely NOT in font size 67 :P. Mindmeld between Illwei and Mat feels genuine, like in QF50. 9 hours ago, Ashbringer said: TJ's only posted a few times, voted for Gears and seem unusually combative If it appears so, it's because of: 9 hours ago, Ashbringer said: "Gears?" "NAI as ever. I'm really not at all comfortable with how many people are writing off Gears' as NAI because that post had 3 plans of which none are exclusively helpful for the village?They were - A. Random chance (personally bad idea) B. Give it to someone getting killed early often, then falsely puts forth the notion that he gets killed early recently C. Kill CBP (which had contradictions which I mentioned earlier while replying to Mat) Also, I'm not really liking use of PoE to eliminate elimination candidates because it's a very easy way to remove your elim teammates from the pool by giving any reason. 2 hours ago, Quintessential said: I'm just gonna leave this a tie. It's a not tie right now. I'm on two, everyone else is one vote. So village reads on Illwei and Mat, but definitely NOT voting on them for the bow because I feel like they're gonna pew pew me if they get it. -_-' Mild suspicious but not ready to vote out this cycle unless for self-pres - Quinn (feel like she should have caught the flaw in her plan if she was villager, feel like she voted for Illwei because she was prompted by her), Ashbringer (for using PoE to narrow elimination suspects, vague reasonings for the vote, but I'll let it slide for now, because keeping stuff to yourself is NAI) If it becomes clear that I'm going to die anyway, I'll change my CBP vote to Illwei. Edit: Ninja'd by Quinn and Mat, I'll wait to see if someone goes for Gears before self-pressing. Edited March 2, 2021 by TJ Shade
Archer he/him Posted March 2, 2021 Author Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) As TJ pointed out, I'd missed their vote on Gears, so here's a VC update: Gears (1): TJ Shade TJ Shade (2): Illwei, Ashbringer Dannex (3): Flyingbooks, Matrim, Quinn General reminder to green out your previous votes, Illwei, and to submit your votes and Crossbowman picks before rollover in an hour.

I don't know if this is genuine or an act to make the village paranoid, but I get the feeling that it's the former. Yeah I didn't read the rules very thoroughly, that's on me. 29 minutes ago, TJ Shade said: Suspicion for this as she says she's not voting and then immediately votes for Illwei in the very next post. First of all, I didn't say I wasn't voting. I said I wasn't voting on Illwei, at that particular moment, because (insert my reasons here). It was in response to her asking me why I wasn't voting her. Second of all, you make it sound like it was a two-second turnaround or something, but there were two hours in between those posts in which I actually sat down and thought about this whole thing. I really honestly don't know what I think of Illwei rn but I don't read her village at all and I'm not sure why so many other people do? 29 minutes ago, TJ Shade said: Yeah, not true, as I've literally stated that I'll be voting for Reading. Oh. Sorry, I missed that : P the point still stands though--not enough of us were going to agree with that. You and Illwei are 2 out of 12. 29 minutes ago, TJ Shade said: feel like she should have caught the flaw in her plan if she was villager, feel like she voted for Illwei because she was prompted by her You seem to think rather better of my logical thought process, and rather worse of my elim decision-making, than is really merited. I miss holes like that all the time--for example, in LG72 I proposed we intentionally tie two players to see which one was elim, and genuinely didn't consider that it was possible they were both village. And elim!me, assuming she'd seen that hole, likely wouldn't have proposed the plan in the first place. It's probably easier for an elim to win if everyone just chooses who they trust most, because the elims can just all vote for the most high-profile, trusted member of their team and say they weren't sure who else to pick. Yeah, that's basically why I voted Illwei. Is there a problem with that? Edit: Wait when did Books vote Dannex? huh? how did I miss that... Edit edit: ohhh it was in that giant bolded reads post that I only skimmed because it was like 7:15am and I was tired and bold is hard to read.
