Mat slipped up and then admitted he was Gn... I was gonna spell it right but now I don't even remember how it's spelled. He admitted he was the remaining elim Mistborn.

All I had to do was read the OoA before replying to Ash. I was so close! Which, yeah, was my bad. I would have just been like 'I got nothing back because he died' and you all would have been like 'oh' instead of this. Which, you might not have believed me for claiming something literally unprovable but it would have been a better shot

Still was fun seeing all of you switch your votes though xD

Oh well. Sorry to my teammates for slipping up, (though I was dead anyway so *shrug*) and to Striker for making a whole lotta stuff up about what he didn't actually do

Long reign Cett

Gah why does this feel like the Aftermath thread

Cett teammates! You got this! I have no clue who you are so the village can't possibly be closer to figuring it out than me

Well, that helps. I must have missed that. Well, Illwei Matrim.

Oh, I thought he was joking when he said that. 

Uh... I was. Yeah. Definitely :P.

How do I change the color of my text on a phone? I can't seem to find it and I would like to vote for Matrim.

Just c/p this but put brackets instead of parenthesis:

(color=red)Illwei(/color)

So I know you probably won't elaborate, but I am immensely curious about what was true and what wasn't.

Yeah, I'll save that for the real Aftermath  

[Gears]

Humans, we just found the two most important elim roles in three cycles. I feel like we've gotten inordinately lucky in this game. But regardless of that, the elim teams are now officially unknown to each other. Instead of a coordinated special ops group, the elims are now reminiscent of the bottom layer of a Ponzi scheme that shares mutual control over a Very Skilled Assasin™. Survival is their goal, with no consideration for their 'teammates' that will perpetually remain unknown. They're very much like tiny village groups now because they know as much as we do, just with murder. After this cycle, we can no longer look for connections. The goal of the elims is now to survive. They are now independent serial killers. The goal for everyone is now to be the last one standing. Numbers are inconsequential. 

I commend you,Matrim, for an excellent lie. Foiled by a single error. However, you do not control the rest of the Cetts. Cetts: You want to killwei. You want the Straff dead because that is a kill avenue that you cannot control. This is the Wei. Straff, possibly. At least, that's what the world has been saying. More generally considered Straff than anyone else. You are less likely to die to the X because you can fight the X. The people who strike in the night will not be swayed by your pretty words. Straff: Possibly kill Quinn. They seemed to want Matrim alive. They seemed unusually invested in Matrim's life. Don't they seem Cett to you? Why not strike them down? Both shall die. One way or another, the thunderdome ends in death.

Also, I tried making something for @Illwei. It makes more sense if you know the Resol'nare.

I vote Illwei gets the Honorary Cosmetic Role of Straff Venture, regardless of whether or not she is a Straff or a Tineye

Nice 1,000th post.

[1] Yeah, you're welcome  For both killing Striker and outing myself doing it. Do I get the 'Honorary Villager' title?

[2] Thanks! TJ suffered my ramblings and thought processes in my PM.

[3] You don't either. It'd be far better for us to have the village exe Illwei and have us take out someone else, just saying. I hope my teammates don't kill Illwei, but if they do then you're right that it's their choice.

[4] Why are you giving advice to the Straff?

Openwolfing is fun. I should do it more often.

But don't worry, future teammates. That was mostly a joke.

But more seriously, still looking for that Vin counterclaim. My claim to the role currently goes unopposed.

Fun idea for a rerun: Have Zane and Gneorndin be outed at the start of the game but be invincible.

So I still haven't finished going through the previous thread (Still have to finish a paper that's due at midnight aaaaah why am I still on here????) but I will say that while I was reading through the C1 thread looking at Striker stuff, I noticed that Matrim theorized elim!Archer with elim!Mistborn!Striker in strikethrough text. And that's the round that Matrim's team attacked Striker...

So anyway I'm gonna take a real close look at what Matrim said in strikethrough text. Cuz it's definitely not him using that as an signal to his team...

Haha go right ahead, I didn't even try to signal to my team. I couldn't think of any way that wouldn't be super obvious.

One more thing...

Ah, there we go. My name in red, just like a Cett name should be.

Well, glad to see that the Matrim situation is cleared up so we can go through with executing him.

I'm concerned about Quinn being so tunneled on Illwei. Unfortunately I can see this coming from V!Quinn, so NAI.

Watch Matrim flip Elim Thug and not Mistborn...

A poke vote isn't strong evidence, is what I meant. It's more tinfoil-y (like what I theorized about Archer last round and that didn't work out...)

Also, since Mat's basically confirmed elim... guess it's time to go back over the thread like I've been doing with Striker... *silent agony*

Indeed, the whole theory about the poke vote being an Elim signal is extremely tinfoil. First of all, you have to assume that the Elim would think to use this as a signal method when it could easily be missed or taken the opposite way. Then you have to assume that the other player would actually be confident enough to take it as a signal to do anything about it.

EDIT: Also then assuming both those, you have to wonder if the result really gets them much benefit since it could just be discovered and draw attention to themselves.

Like I said, I didn't do any kind of signaling. I'd love to see what you guys come up with that I did apparently do, though  The further off the rails you go, the better for Cett...

You might not have purposefully signaled your team, but since they knew you were their Mistborn, they probably looked pretty closely at your posts, so it's possible that you accidentally signaled them. (Not that that helps us a lot unless they responded somehow)

Not much of a signal then, hmmm?

An accidental signal is still a signal

Edit: But I still think you could be a Thug/not Mistborn which would make signals moot.

AHjdfkshl guys is this what you plebs feel like catching up on the thread? it's sad. not the thread. glad someone caught Mat. because. that whole situation was dumb. lmao. if Mat actually got me killed this cycle then that would have been poggers for him lmao. that woulda been (edit: I have no Idea where this was going. Why don't you fill it in yourself with whatever you think I was going to put there!)

(also since Mat's Soothing me apparently, my vote will be canceled if I'm on him, because I had a final vote on him last cycle, but it won't be canceled if I'm on Illwei. Therefore, I am literally more effective voting her)

hi this makes no sense but carry on

8 hours ago, Quintessential said:

and even if she's not, she's gonna end up eating up discussion next cycle, so might as well get that out of the way, yeah?

I take that back please don't carry on

and also

Eating up discussion? Quinn. I thought we had learned from Danex, did you not? this just is exactly her reasoning from QF50 so I'm getting ehhhhh vibes from Quinn right now. But maybe not Cett. If E!Quinn I'd say Straff.

7 hours ago, The Unknown Order said:

I'm so confused, in fact, that's partly why I haven't posted. I do think it's between Mat and Illwei, but I think there's a decent chance they're both elims. But Mat claimed Vin, which means we have to exe Illwei first, and if she's an elim, at the very least we got one, and at most we got an elim and an elim mistborn. Conveniently, Mat has used up both of his mistborn metals. I will vote Illwei  as I think there is a chance Mat is Vin, but I think we should fifty-fifty it next cycle.

I want to call this Not CettTM but that might be a stupid read. oh ho ho.

Yeah, she do do that. I do that to. it's not good, I'm just trying to figure out why, but I don't think I can name a recent game where Quinn hasn't voted me out of...well, for some reason or another. I kind of want to call it Not CettTM as well, because...why be that blatant defending? but then again that wifom could be the reason there lol.

but uh

I'll have more thoughts later I'm thinking of taking a pinboard thing and drawing lines with string! not that...not that...well, I don't know how useful it would be but it...it sounds fun, right! with different colored string for different types of connections? like, defending, uh....voting? uh.....poke voting? uh....attacking? idk. might be a terrible idea, but you know,  thought that might be fun! :P. I have a job interview tomorrow morning though, so uh, yeah.

But uh

from the past couple pages

Kiiiinda leaning Straff!Quinn but her defending Mat makes no sense there. So technically Cett!Quinn makes more sense if Elim!Quinn but also Cett!Quinn doesn't make sense but I'm leaning Elim!Quinn so I'll just work that out later. uhhhhhhhhhh

I think Liranil is not Cett more than is, (...that doesn't make much sense once written out, huh....) but like my read on TUO that is a Not Good read so take it with the smallest grain of salt

Same with TUO. Not Cett read.

Honestly I think that Cett will be the people who voted matrim and then dipped. like uh... *looks at that one VC from pages ago that Mat made* books voted Mat? since when? Uh, if that's true, then books is on my Cett list then.

Anyway, point is that Striker was almost certainly telling the truth about Mat.

Confusion.

So Im getting the idea that Striker seeked Mat and said Mat's mistborn?

And Striker's Zane?

Ummm... don't you have to seek twice to know someones mistborn?

 

Edit: Ok I have no clue what's going on right now!

Also I feel like just tl;dr-ing this whole thread. It;s too long.

Have pity on us peeps who need to catch up!

 

I gather that Striker didn't seek, he atium-ed. But that still leaves me confused.
