Shard of Reading he/him Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 "The simplest plan would to just vote for your most village trust and try to not over think the IKYK stuff. It could probably backfire, but it saves us from having to do a bunch of checks on what other people vote for, and if they're lying, and yay." 3 minutes ago, Flyingbooks said: butterflies *Mentally checks rules for any mention of butterflies*

On second thought, let's just not, the butterflies would probably just mess that plan up somehow anyways. Yeah let's not do this lol 2 minutes 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 Why are you voting for TJ if you don't trust him? Isn't that kinda... not the point? Honestly though that almost reads a village points for Illwei there just cause I can't see an elim putting that in the same sentence :P.

And it's two hours after I was supposed to start school and I haven't yet so I'm gonna disappear for an hour or so.

How about this: Everyone agrees to vote for someone other than themself. Everyone also agrees to reveal who they voted for after the crossbow has been distributed. That way, we probably won't end up having to roll a die to decide, and we discover liars more easily. And there's no chance that the bait will try to mess with our plan because there is no plan!"

I don't want to have to hurt my brain to understand what is going on with the votes, and this is definitely going to be a bit more difficult for the elims to manipulate.

Reading not elims with quinn more likely because he's the first to approve of the plan Edited March 1, 2021 by Illwei

"Not true! Because of the first part. We all agree not to vote on ourselves. So the bait only has two votes, because if they want to win the crossbow then they have to avoid having unexplained votes that would make the person holding the crossbow look suspicious. Two of them can vote on the third, but since all of us loyal hunters will be using our best judgement about who we trust to hold the crossbow, and I would guess there will be someone that more than two people trust, it's only a slight advantage for the bait."

Random Bystander she/her Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 1 hour ago, Flyingbooks said: Hop poked the random bystander. "What's some random bystander doing here?" they said, a few butterflies alighting on the random bystander's shoulder. Ugh, not the butterflies again! I must have one of the most annoying talents ever to exist. Butterflies flying onto every single thing I touch? Come on, it's not even useful! Being dragon bait would have at least given me a relatively stable job. *Glares* "Don't poke me." I just worldhopped from Scadrial... I sure hope that this doesn't turn out like that did. "And I am not just any random bystander, I'm a musician. A worldsinger." She grinned. "I almost died on the last world I was on. I won't die here. I would like to see some dragons." I vote to give myself the crossbow. I only trust myself right now.
Ashbringer he/him Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 "What was the plan again?" "We were just going to talk back and forth. You know, like the actual story does." "... you know literally everyone else is doing that, right." "Yeah, but there's two of us. We get the tactical advantage of actually having... paragraph breaks. Those are fun." "We use them too often." "Well, we got to make it grammatically correct, right? New Paragraph for a new speaker and all that?" "We barely make a line..." "Anyway, crossbows. Crossbows are cool. Not as cool as a Shadowblaze but they are cool." "Still, with only twelve bodies around, removing one is a potent ability. That's one-twelfth of the entire population." "Nice. You can do math." "Thanks for that... I wonder, do you think they'll be able to guess which one of us is the one talking?" "Do we even know?" "Don't know. Let's find out." 1
Gears Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 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. You watch them laugh at themselves and tear at themselves and stare at themselves and lunge at themselves and hurt. None of them are worthy. In the absence of a Lord, you must act in a Lord's stead, and so you must act as a Lord would: conquer. Empire, the only justification you'll ever need. You shall take the Bow, and the Dragons, and the Land itself, and you shall crush those that attempt to stop you. You are your own Lord, and you shall Conquer. [OOC: The Monopoly arc continues! This game is like Monopoly. Why is this game like Monopoly? How did I make this RP about Monopoly? It's so weird. I didn't mean to do this! It was supposed to be about Fate/stay night! How did this happen?] 1
