Long Game 77: A Political Trap

[Biplet she/her]

Question: how do you add one of those fancy line breaks to a post? I keep trying to figure it out. I'm probably missing something obvious

It's the icon second to the right that looks like a notepad. If you're on mobile, you need to tilt your device sideways to see it.

I am reasonably happy with how this game is launching, but you know, I think there are two things we need right now.

First of all, come on guys, the activity rewards are fairly generous in this game! We can do better than three pages, right? 

Second of all:

Vote Tally
Araris Valerian (1): DrakeMarshall
DrakeMarshall (1): Matrim's Dice
Experience (1): Archer
Matrim's Dice (2): manukos, Araris
Dannex (1): Flyingbooks
Azmine (1): Szeth_Pancakes

The voter turnout is decently good, for which I am grateful, but the cycle is more than halfway through and there is literally only one person with more than a single vote on them. I also don't think it's a great idea to remove literally the only player so far who has shared more than one or two reads, regardless of if those reads are wrong. I know it's D1 and lord ruler knows I don't have much to go on rn, but as the end of the turn draws near we do need to start taking the vote seriously.

Therefore, Experience, you have been nominated to share the chopping block with matrim until such a time as you speak up or somebody else breaks the tie. No hard feelings, but if I want to follow my own advice and not spread the vote between like 6 players, my choices are: one of the most active players in the game who hasn't done anything particularly sus, two players I have never played with before and would like to get a chance to meet, and a player who still hasn't posted anything.

You say the turn out is pretty good, but let me look at those again...

• Archer voting Experience- a poke on a player who has not posted.
• manukos voting me- a pointless retaliation for my now-retracted poke.
• Araris voting me- a poke in a (somewhat failed) attempt to get discussion started- no reasoning.
• Books voting Dannex- a poke vote (no reasoning) on someone who has posted already.
• Szeth voting Azmine- a poke on a player who has not posted.
• You voting Experience- a poke on a player who hasn't posted (with some other reasoning of course, but it's still on someone who is inactive.)

Leaving my vote on you the only one that is a remnant of an actual vote, and even then I share not wanting to kill off a fellow active player such as yourself. I'm keeping my vote for now though, but will reread your posts (especially your conversation with Araris awhile back) to see if that still stands.

I'm totally confbiasing this as TMI, which is a paradox because I'm reading Drake as elim anyway  But I'd say e!Drake means a greater chance of v!Araris or v!Jondesu.

Oh you think I’m checking these manually.

I have a fancy little program (not made by me) that just puts all the posts into a tab in the spreadsheet and gives me the word count and I mark if it belongs in the RP or discussion category (or both) and the sheet does all the math after that.

Ah, that's good  I was worried for your sanity after you leafed through all of these.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

@Matrim's Dice, if there isn't much voting that goes on before cycle end, we can probably assume that most of the people who currently have votes are village, since there is vote manip in this game, and I doubt the elims would want to risk losing a player this early.

Yay people posted that means I can reply again.

Bit of a mindmeld here- it crossed my mind that Drake seemed more excited than LG66. I didn't have the reference of MR43 (which is... probably why I didn't say anything. Or maybe I just need to share my half-minded thoughts more :P) so this is a nice bit of info imo.

Yeah this is just me assuming the kandra has the same mechanics as they had in the original run of the game, which probably isn't fair seeing as Striker didn't say what their mechanics are and he said there are secret rules.

manukos

Back to Drake, not sure what to think of the him-Araris interaction. I'll probably be watching those two together more closely than I would otherwise, to see if anything else comes out of it. I also don't know what to make of Drake outing the Gasper thing (which, granted, is kind of obvious anyways :P) and also outing a potential elim strategy, which okay, we've had the discussion on whether that's suspicious or not but it is not helpful to the village in any way even if it isn't directly an elim action.

I saw some people do this in the MU Champs and it looked fun. Rainbow time!

Mat
Archer
TJ
Dannex
Everyone who hasn't posted or has only RPd or I forgot about
Araris
Jondesu 
Drake

Albeit an ugly rainbow to avoid using red :P. Archer/TJ for the mindmelds and points, Dannex for... some reason I should go check my notes again, Araris for paranoia... I don't think it's cause he voted on my but maybe my brain subconsciously went that direction :P. (yellow=null minus but it's slight) Jondesu because I always get bad vibes from Jondesu, and Drake for aforementioned things and something else.
Edit: manukos is probably in between TJ and Dannex also

So Drake is where I'm at I guess. Hope everyone who hasn't posted shows up soon!

Mindmelds in specific cases is a good reason to trust somebody, bc if you're indeed a villager then you assume other villagers will think along some of the same lines as you, but from there is always hard not to fall into "I agree with what they said so they must be good." Not saying that's the case here, but, from how you described, it sounds like neither of you guys were actively searching for a change in playstyles among players, it's just sorta a thing you noticed about me. And while intentionally cross-referencing players to find something like that is definitely villagey, just sorta noticing a thing is more something that an elim can do too. Just in general, I'm kinda wary of arguments of the form "X is a thing a village would do" or "X is a thing an elim would do" because they don't always cut it, it's gotta be "X is a thing a villager would be more likely to do than an elim" or "X is a thing an elim would be more likely to do than a villager".

The reads rainbow is pretty and I approve of it, even if for some reason I'm on the bottom of it. Seriously, I've already said something like this in my PM with matrim but this is really for everyone: posting reads lists, even without much justification (and even if they're sometimes wrong), is a good thing for the village, full stop. Matrim's kinda ahead of the game posting one this early, but this is really something we all should be doing.

Uh... let's see.

Backstory of LG66:

• D1-D2: Faleast started as a loyal, if distant, PRE member (villager) and Pulser. He was fairly paranoid about the kandra's existence, and ended up contacting Lafay and Pyria Young (Ventyl and The Young Pyromancer).
• N2: A lot of things. Faleast made a deal with Lafay, swapping role names, so Lafay knew Faleast was a Pulser and Faleast knew Lafay was a Leecher. Faleast didn't trust this, and made a plan to test the theory the next day with Pyria. Meanwhile, the Kandra (Araris) was killed by the village Coinshot (TJ), and they had an ability that made a random person the next Kandra, which of course picked me. I wrote it as AraRaash, the kandra, used a special spike to kill Faleast and gather some of his memory - but, somewhat unintentionally, also captured his Cognitive Shadow, resulting the . This also made Faleast not a Pulser anymore.
• D3: Faleast nearly got Lafay executed, believing his Leecher claim to be a lie, but ultimately realized there was a scenario where all parties were telling the truth. However, Faleast was "outed" as a Pulser, despite not being one anymore... which was quite bad for AraRaash.
• N3: A Leecher died, which led to Faleast suspecting Lafay again. Unbeknownst to Faleast (or Ash), Lord Cauthon (Matrim) had alignment scanned Faleast, learned of his Kandrafication, and was promptly killed by TJ before he could tell anyone. 
• D4: Faleast got Lafay executed, and learned he was in fact a Loyalist (Eliminator).
• N4: AraRaash bought a Nicroburst Spike, and attacked and killed Kynedath (who was also an Eliminator). TJ had also attacked and killed Kynedath... Faleast and TJ had an interesting relationship.
• D5-N5: Faleast had to talk his way out of a few holes, but managed to do so... not much else. He bought a Bulletproof Vest.
• D6: Another Loyalist falls, as Reginald (Magestar) survives to try and find another using Augury. Faleast is asked to Nicroburst him, but realizes it's a bad idea for the village and doesn't. Instead he Nicrobursts TJ and lets him Archivist twice, which allows him to uncover another Loyalist who targeted Mage in the day turn.
• N6: Faleast realizes the Loyalists are in trouble, then attacks Pyria Young, who was a good friend to Faleast. Unfortunately for him, Pyria was also a Loyalist.
• Aftermath: The remaining Loyalist was killed, and AraRaash revealed himself and killed Darson (an NPC leader of the PRE) and fled.

The rest of his backstory is really stuff about Lamentation (the AG), where Lamentation appeared to Faleast and AraRaash after this and essentially hired them to...

Well, that's what I'm building right now, aren't I? 

 

I very appreciate this. I played in LG66 and there are still things in here I didn't know about

With all due respect, I rather resent the statement that yours is the only actual vote 

But really, I mean it. I don't think you've explained your vote on me much better than anyone else has explained their votes. And at the end of the day, I'm pretty sure what constitutes an actual vote is the willingness to see the person you voted for actually be removed. And if nothing changes, I really do believe Experience is the best place for my vote to be for the rest of the cycle. I am pretty sure Araris had some real intent behind their vote as well.

This is sensible.

I would only invest a very small amount of trust in those voted because of it, but even so, we might have better luck mixing things up and voting for new people.

Do you have any suggestions?

Fair enough  Call me biased. Really, I just wanted another 200 word post :P.

Actual willingness behind my vote? Maybe earlier today. Now not so much. Drake, though I wouldn't say my read has actually changed all that much.

Ventyl I think could have been more willing to read through two pages, but that's a bad vote.

[Biplet she/her]

Shara’s eyes drooped. The single candle lighting her work burned low, the tiny flame licking at the last bit of charred wick. She couldn’t remember how long she’d been at the desk, pouring over her analysis, making lists of people she barely knew. Iden snored softly in the farther bed, the book he’d been reading half open on the tiny side table between their beds. Occasionally, he’d let out a single loud snore, mumble something incomprehensible, and turn over. Shara had long since learned how to tune him out.

A few names stuck out to her. Earl Euphemie, the reporter along for the ride. She knew a fellow observant person when she saw one. The keen look in his eyes set her on edge, or maybe it was just that she didn’t particularly like reporters. One too many bad experiences with sensationalized headlines.

The Lafay Etteax. Quiet, seemingly a bit out of it in the meetings. Occasionally leaning over to the people next to him to ask questions. She’d have to talk to him more, get a read on him. Maybe he was just tired. 

And then there was the issue of the silent few. Those that had sat in the meetings, watching but saying nothing. Some she’d seen scribbling notes, others just sat there. Lumen, Shara could write off. She was a secretary, a bit similar to Shara’s role. However, Shara was often permitted to add in her thoughts in meetings, while Lumen would tend to be more silent. Shara put a star by her name. Get to know her.

That left Magrait, Walker, Azmine, and Zara. She didn’t know much of the first three, but Zara… well, Zara normally talked more.

Shara circled his name.

Alright, so, we haven't heard from: Experience, Devotary, Azmine, Mist, and TUO. In LG74, I was village and we lost in part due to village inactivity. And in Striker's last MR, I was an elim and we won partially thanks to village inactivity yet again. I'm not gonna lose this game the same way!! No thank you.

I trust that Devotary, Azmine, and Experience will show up. I know that TUO tends to have some internet issues (he's mentioned it before) so I worry if he'll show up D1 or not. I haven't played enough games with Mist to know their standard level of activity. Have I played any games with Mist? Time to go look lol.

In an effort to not drag yet another name onto the voting list, I'm gonna vote Experience. @Experience consider this a poke vote for now. I have no way to justify voting on you otherwise, since you haven't posted, but join us!!!

Jondesu because I always get bad vibes from Jondesu

What did Jondesu ever do to you?

A very uncomprehensive reads list:
Archer - village (for good analysis right off the bat. Useful! Thanks friend)
TJ - mild vil (not much reasoning, just good vibes)
Drake- mild vil (solid reasoning)
Araris- mild vil (nice pm conversation!)
Mat- null- (Mat you're giving me weird vibes this game)
Szeth- mild elim (not enough to vote on him, but the announcement about going straight for Lerasium makes me feel weird. Also, give us some analysis!! I wanna know your thoughts)
Ventyl- mild elim (I know you've got more thoughts than that my guy. Sus)

Excellent, thank you for posting so I can make another 200 word post.  We should have more debates in the thread, this is very profitable.

Okay so maybe we have gotten into the game enough that I can start trying my hand at a reads list, huh? Can't let you have all the fun.

By necessity, the degree of confidence / magnitude of my reads on people are quite small, this early in the game.

Here is my color key of reads:

• Village Read
• Slight Village Read
• Very Slight Village Read
• No Read
• Very Slight Elim Read
• Slight Elim Read
• Elim Read

And here is my read on the player list:

1. Ashbringer - Has mostly been involved in RP, and also responded to my poke. The RP is great and entirely NAI, so my read is close to neutral. But I'm just a little wary of a player who is active enough to be doing game discussion but whose main game discussion post was responding to a vote.
2. Biplet - My read on them was neutral. But then I read back their initial post, and I have a slight village read from how they said it would make sense for the elims to have 3 players if one of them was a thug or bloodmaker or something. I figure an elim might be less jazzed at the idea of only having 3 players, extra life or no.
3. Szeth_Pancakes - Basically they just seemed village in our PM. I sorta asked them a lot of questions.
4. Matrim's Dice - They lead the votes for a while and nobody tried to hard to shift the vote, and they have been more forthcoming than most about reads.
5. Lotus - Has made an RP post and a one-line question post. Not much to go on.
6. Araris Valerian - I approve of raising the stakes by placing a second vote on somebody, but I am fairly sure Araris would do this no matter what alignment. I'm a wee bit suspicious of the comment about vote manips, because of how it was framed. Almost assuming that the elims wouldn't have any vote manips, only the village might, which could be a case of TMI. But I am also inclined to trust the impulse to mix things up with the votes when nobody has really spoken up to contest them for a while, so... Yeah IDK.
7. The Unknown Order - Their name is accurate. @The Unknown Order care to comment on the game any?
8. DrakeMarshall - I cannot analyze myself for you  This one's in your court.
9. Jondesu - It is common for players to give advice on how to use roles, cuz it is early in the game and hey, not much else to talk about, right? This is something both village and elims do. But, I kind of like that their advice was literally just for everyone to use their roles. Because, literally just not using the roles we have is honestly a legitimate problem the village can run into. In my experience, this isn't as much a thing to worry about for the elims.
10. Archer - I have sort of a conflicted gut read on them, and I'm not seeing much in their posts that tips it one way or the other.
11. Ventyl - So far they have just asked for a summary, which I would call NAI. Hopefully the flashbacks from LG66 do not unduly bias me into thinking they are an elim.
12. Experience - Has not posted. @Experience are you around?
13. Devotary of Spontaneity - Has not posted. @Devotary of Spontaneity how bout you?
14. Azmine_king - Has not posted. @Azmine_king what bout you?
15. Mist - Has not posted. @Mist how bout you?
16. |TJ| - They have said some analysis posts that look good, but I don't really have an alignment read yet.
17. manukos - I would call it mostly NAI to not request special treatment, although some may disagree.
18. Dannex - A bit of commentary on kandra, and has expressed an intention to focus a lot on PMs. If that is where their focus is, I am hoping to get a better read off of our PM eventually.
19. Flyingbooks - Non-RP content consists of a poke vote on Dannex and a request for PMs. Like for Dannex, I am hoping to get more of a read from our PM.

So... Yeah. That's where I'm at. I reckon I could either vote on one of the yellow-orange peeps I have very slight reasons to suspect (who, oddly, are people I already voted on once?), or I could try and vote one of the people I have no real read on and just see what happens. Welp, that's D1 for you I guess.

Also Biplet just ninja'd me and voted for Experience. Hm. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

Sweeper wandered the meeting hall, broom held at the ready. After all the cleaning he'd done the day before, there really shouldn't have been much of a mess today. But, politicians being politicians, the place was in even worse condition. One might think that arguing about trains and murdering folks would be a low maintenance activity. One might think that, but one would be mistake. Why, just a few hours ago Sweeper had been dusting the floor, paying absolutely no heed to the conversations about rebels and so forth, when his broom got stuck in some spilled juice. He certainly hadn't been distracted about talk of killing folks, so he wasn't quite sure how he'd missed seeing it. The sticky stuff had taken hours to clean off, and he'd left the floor the way it was. No self-respecting sweeper would lower himself to using a mop, after all. 

While making his rounds, Sweeper had accidentally overheard some mention of walking back to Elendel. But that was preposterous! After all, there'd be nothing to sweep while they were walking. He supposed that there was the road, but roads were bothersome to clean. Especially dirt roads, which tended to stay dirty regardless of how long one spent sweeping them.

Rays of reddish light filtered through the windows as the sun touched the horizon, casting the meeting hall in sharp focus. The meeting hall of Garmet was basically always in disarray, but what with the tension between Elendel and Garmet representatives, plus all of the bustle over the whole rebellion thing, it was even more chaotic than usual. Folks standing up and yelling at each other til they were red in the face, scraps of paper and quiche crumbs that only accumulated after the sweeper had apparently abandoned them to their fate following an unfortunate incident with a juice puddle, and several overturned tables.

The problem was, everyone was just shooting each other's ideas down. Walk to Elendel? They said incredulously. Preposterous! Too far away, not enough supplies, risk of exposure, the tide of complaints just never seemed to end. These people had no appreciation for genius. None at all. Well, that was on them. Juno was patient. She would keep on suggesting good ideas until somebody finally had the good sense to follow them.

"We should just rebuild the train tracks. How hard can it be?"

"We should order twice as many refreshments tomorrow."

"We should try bribing the kandra."

"We should barricade the meeting hall against intruders."

"We should execute an absentee."

Wait. That last one actually has support? What.

Anyways what I wanna say is that if you look at my playstyle across more than just those two games (have we really only played two games together btw?) you might see something a little more nuanced. And by nuanced I mean wildly chaotic and generally just slightly confusing to myself as well as to others. I can definitely remember elim games I've played that were uncharacteristically passive (actually, that probably tended to be one of my biggest tells, at least at the beginning of my career as a dirty no-good eliminator). And I can definitely remember a lot of games I've played as a villager where others might have called my playstyle "proactive" or even sometimes "aggressive" 

Yeah he tend ed/s to post fewer reads as elim.

So you look fine and I'm leaning village for you right now.

This is my thing. I don't do analysis early Day 1, because, while frustrating for other players trying to get a read on me, I can get a good read on someone else without being judged for any bad decisions I made early D1. *cough* LG76 *cough*

He didn’t much care for the grim of the now isolated city getting on his nice new chasmfiend skin boots, but what could you do? The people of the city were in an even more destitute state than his boots. Moral, food, and present leaders were all low. However, if Lafay could do anything, it was cheer up a crowd—mainly through use of his patterned cloak colored red, a slightly darker red, another lighter shade of red that could almost be called pink if one didn’t have enough Breath to tell it wasn’t pink, orange, burnt orange, pastel orange, piss yellow, sunshine yellow, lemonade mixed with water yellow, barf green, normal green, a green so green all you can think is “wow, that’s green,” forest green, sky blue, baby blue, dark blue, navy blue, ocean water blue, that weird purply/green/pink color thing you see all those cool knifes colored in, purple, light purple, indigo, violet (but not like the flower), violet (but like the flower), a red so pink that if you didn’t have enough breath you’d think it was red (but it’s actually pink). Indeed, the glances and gazes of the street urchins, whores, businessmen, and midwives alike told him that he was making a difference. Sure, they might think he was an idiot, but idiots are funny (unless you’re one of them).

Lafay hummed happily with satisfaction as he continued his walk through Garmet with no particular destination in mind.

Now, all he had to do was the get the people, to throw some fruit at him...

Ok, so I just asked Ventyl if they wanted to trade roleclaims, and they said yes. Then, I roleclaimed, and they refused to repeatedly answered "Yes" to each of my posts. I would say that this is more than a little suspicious, and I will welcome any votes that come towards my cause.

Experience Ventyl

I'm being blackmailed in PMs. I'm not sure if it's joking or not, but it's uncomfortable.
