Ashbringer he/him Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 ... I can confirm that I got stolen from, but I haven't been able to find the willpower to do much here today. And tomorrow I'll be quite busy. Like, four-different-things-to-do busy. So I'm not sure what I'll do.
DrakeMarshall he/him Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 11 minutes ago, Illwei said: it might be worth looking into the Araris voters depending. tbh i see that more e/e than anything else Clarify? I would assume that E/E would have to mean Araris is an eliminator and I wasn't under the impression that you thought this was the case. And besides, Books at least gets a pass for their vote on Araris, since I don't think they have come online since their initial vote after revealing that Araris killed Manukos.
Flyingbooks Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 I will take my vote off of Araris because of his claim. I haven't really been paying attention to the game since the beginning of this cycle due to IRL stuff, but Matrim feels more suspicious to me than Biplet.
DrakeMarshall he/him Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 A tie it is, then. Well, I'm certainly fine with that.
Devotary of Spontaneity Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 Lying about being stolen from isn't going to work anymore since both thieves are public knowledge, largely as a result of those lies. So that's not super helpful. I'd imagine that the missing vote off Matrim from D1 was manukos storing duralumin, as his vote for Matrim didn't seem like he thought Matrim was evil, and manukos later said we couldn't presume anything from the D1 vote manipulation. That means the D2 vote manipulation that removed a vote from Biplet was from a different source. It definitely wasn't TJ or Mist, but either Drake or Matrim could have had those votes removed by storing, or there could be a soother as anyone, though the only reasonable soothers to have removed a vote on D2 are Biplet and Araris. However, since Matrim's D1 vote target also has a vote removed, there's a chance that Matrim was storing both D1 and D2 and that's what caused votes to be removed. The counter is that Matrim almost died D1 and knew how much danger he was in, so almost certainly wouldn't have cancelled his own vote D1. If someone did vote for Biplet D2 while purposefully cancelling their vote, I would assume them to be an elim partner with Biplet. While Biplet/Matrim is entirely possible, Biplet/Drake isn't unreasonable either, although obviously both depend on Biplet being evil which is far from a guarantee. I'm feeling better about Matrim since he's been stealing during the day, which earns him fewer boxings than if he stole at night, which seems like something that would come up in an elim doc. That's weighed against the high likelihood that a thief would be caught at some point, at which point pointing out this exact thing could be used to show innocence. Overall, I think Matrim being evil makes it likely that Biplet is also evil, while the reverse is less true. Of the four non-Kandra options, Biplet flipping village is the least informative, while Matrim flipping evil is the most. However, a village Biplet would make me feel better about Matrim and Drake. Also, I just want to vote for Biplet for some reason, so between the two, that's what I'm going to do.
Mat he/him Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 7 hours ago, DrakeMarshall said: To be clear, are you saying suspicion did play an important part in deciding who you would target, or no? Like, I was under the impression from your posts earlier in the turn that you didn't steal from me basically because you were just waiting to fatten me up, not bc you village read me more than you did Archer. Also, I am a bit curious whether or not using theft for scanning is a thing you were thinking about / if you agree with it at all. I mean, I don't think it played zero parts in deciding who I would target, but it certainly wasn't the forefront of my mind; like a subconscious thing more than anything else. I was mostly waiting to fatten you up, (which is awful to admit that :P) but my reads might have influenced like, my choice to wait on you over Archer or something idk, I'll say not an important part, but maybe a small part I didn't really notice? When I implied that earlier it was probably more so than it actually is. That's not something I was thinking about, and is something I generally agree with as there's no real reason it wouldn't work. But it hadn't crossed my mind; I haven't thought a lot about my role, if that wasn't clear :P. 7 hours ago, DrakeMarshall said: So yeah it's time I said that the whole thing about me getting stolen from was complete BS The goal was to give thieves a reason to hesitate from stealing from me. As far as I'm concerned there is nothing dishonorable about bluffing off a prospective thief :thonk: So you're telling me you still have a whole lot of boxings? Kidding, I'll leave you alone for now :P. I wanna try out that kill scanning thing and I'm not too paranoid about you yet. 6 hours ago, Illwei said: it might be worth looking into the Araris voters depending. tbh i see that more e/e than anything else So you see me and biplet as e/e, and the Araris voters as e/e, and Lotus obviously was e, and that's five plus people, and you're fine with that? I was guessing four as the team size that made the most sense.
StrikerEZ he/him Posted June 6, 2021 Author Posted June 6, 2021 And that's the turn! No more posting or submitting actions until the next turn is up!
StrikerEZ he/him Posted June 6, 2021 Author Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) You will not die. Shara had to remind herself of this throughout the day's meeting. Many people were suspicious of her for some reason, and they were being very vocal about it, as if she wasn't even there and couldn't hear the things she was saying. Yet, she carefully took notes throughout the day, keeping track of who was saying what and when they said it and what could be motivating them to say it. It helped distract from the fact that they were talking about possibly executing her. It came as no surprise to her when, at the end of the meeting, some guards began to make their way towards where she was sitting. Iden seemed uncomfortable next to her, and eventually started fidgeting as well. Well, Shara thought, I guess this was going to happen either way. You will not die! Once the meeting was over, the closest guard to Shara lunged for her to try and force her head down. Instead, Shara dodged out of the way, slipping out of her chair. The guard was surprised by this sudden movement and she stumbled and fell. Another guard came from behind Shara, and wrapped his arms around her neck. Shara slammed her head back into his face, and he yelled as he let go and fell to the ground. I hope he's okay, Shara thought as she stumbled backwards from the force of the hit and the fact that the man nearly took her down to the ground as well during his fall. She used the momentum from her nearly falling to kick another guard that rushed her, and quickly turned around as another guard came from her side with a baton. She threw her arm out, aiming for the shoulder to knock him off balance- BANG Everyone stopped, people in the crowd who hadn't left the building yet ducked and some began to scream. Others turned towards where the gunshot sounded like it came from to see Goren holding a gun up in the air. There was a new hole in the roof of the building. "Can all of you stop for just one minute?" He yelled. "Shara, I'm going to give you one day to explain yourself, because Harmony knows I don't think we're going to be able to put you in a prison cell without killing you in the process. And, without more substantial evidence, I'm not about to execute a woman, or man for that matter, on matters of hearsay." Shara nodded, letting herself be escorted by the guards who were still able to stand towards where Goren was. "I've got a lot of questions for you." Goren said as they walked out of the building, heading towards the constables' office. ~ Biplet was attempted to be removed, but survived!

Biplet she/her Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 WELL my alarm didn’t go off. Happy Sunday everyone. I appreciate whoever soothed the vote off me since I didn’t wake up to self pres. Alright, time to say it. I’m a Thug! And now that that’s known I’d appreciate some protection since my extra life is gone, but I doubt I’m gonna get it XD I’m sure araris is the more valuable player that needs protecting
Archer he/him Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 Interesting. That unfortunately doesn't tell us much. Thug could be from either alignment. Biplet meant to self pres, and their role would have given the elims the luxery of taking a hands off approach this round. Of the nine people who voted, most are on my trust list, so either it was v/v, e/e, or they had flexibility. Yay, lack of progress! Hey, someone bought a Vest. Anyone want to claim they? Not sure why you would, but the IKYK opportunity exists if you'd like to take it. There's not many people who had the funds for that last Night. Also, Devo is a thief??? who the bagel is the kandra then? The pool should be down to four or so by now, since we've had some claims. Ash, TUO, Szeth and Dannex, I think are the remaining options. I'm still looking to make a deal with them. If you're a neutral and your wincon isn't just to outlive everyone, just knowing who you are would be a massive help late in the game. Saves us mixing or Araris killing the wrong person. I'd rather not be at exlo and get two kandra claims. Food for thought. Speaking of food... *** "Oh Great Panini," the people cheered, "sing us a song." "This is irrelevant to the plot!" the rich patron rebuffed them. "But despite being ostensibly wealthy, my narrator needs boxings, so here goes!" "Huzzah!" the people cheered. The Great Panini cleared his throat and began to sing. Badly. "Today there was a massive brawl, I skimmed the writeup, didn't read it all. From what I see, Shara survived, That's nice, their roleplay's less contrived. I saw they softed being tough, It matches their claim of being buff." He paused, running out of things to sing about. "Uhhhh, I like cheese, oh yes I do. Like a summer's breeze or morning dew. I like grapes too, those are cool. Good for a brew, or snack 'side a pool. Walnuts also are quite nice. The favoured meal of field mice. Turns out singing takes longer to write, Than simple prose, like narrating fights." He stopped, and suddenly punched the woman beside him. She gasped in surprise, stumbling backwards into the buffet. "ARE YA EVILLL?" Panini shouted. "WHAT HE SAID," his ventriloquist dummy added, tiny wooden arms swinging wildly. The woman, regaining her composure, retaliated with a series of karate kicks! Or maybe judo! I don't know fighting! "Stop this madness!" the constable shouted, appearing out of nowhere. "Why, is it disturbing the peace?" "No," he said, snacking on a cheesey grape from the buffet table. "You've just reached 200 words, so you can stop this madness."

Not even sure if I would have though. If I hadn't been a thief, that would have been a bad idea monetarily. As it is, you stole what would have been 100% of my boxings had I not stolen some from you and Ash. 7 minutes ago, Archer said: I'm still looking to make a deal with them. If you're a neutral and your wincon isn't just to outlive everyone, just knowing who you are would be a massive help late in the game. We can't really make a deal with the Kandra since they want to kill everyone. If they're at all like the LG 66 Kandra, they'll have to die at some point, otherwise they're betting on coming to a night turn where they have a kill at village vote manip-elim-Kandra or village-village kill role-elim-Kandra and killing everyone else but them, both of which are quite unlikely. Counting towards parity would make it a little easier for them to win.
Biplet she/her Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 Okay, I have a crack theory. We haven't been seeing Kandra kills. We have coinshot kills and elim kills, plus the Illwei/Ventyl hema kill, but no Kandra kills. From what I've gathered, the Kandra had a kill ability in LG66, so either the Kandra is hesitant to use their ability (doubtful) or they have something else going on. That brings me to my wild theory: what if the kandra started as an elim. Look, we haven't found them yet, and everyone is throwing around wild kandra theories, but as far as I can tell, we haven't heard a peep from them. Could be bc TUO is the Kandra, but I wouldn't put it past Striker to do something screwy and way throw us off our game. This would align with Illwei's post that implies the possibility of five elims. If one of them is the kandra, that would leave us with four elims + a kandra with access to the NK. Am I wrong? Maybe. Probably. But this possibility has been sitting in my mind constantly since we haven't seen any kandra kills. Of course, I'm operating under the assumption that the elims have been doing their NKs. There's a slim chance that none of the NKs are elim but??? That's honestly highly unlikely. I'm more inclined to believe it's the Kandra NKs we're missing. I could also be crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if the Kandra is a hemalurgist (yes Illwei I think you could be the Kandra).
Mat he/him Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 2 hours ago, Archer said: Ash, TUO, Szeth and Dannex, I think are the remaining options. Szeth claimed Nicroburst and Drake backed it up, so I doubt it’s him. The pool is actually Ash, TUO, Archer, Dannex

As for you, I really don't think you had to claim over this and I'm not the biggest fan if you are wanting to hold me "largely" responsible for that, bc it was definitely your decision even if I played a role in it. Still, I can see the logic in you claiming, wanting to address a potential discrepancy. Imma say thinking "lies=evil" is definitely more of a villager move on your part. I was rather more concerned that a thief would piece things together and try to quietly steal from me at the next opportunity not that it would have hypothetically gone well for them, rather than sharing the discrepancies they found with the thread and therefore outing themselves. Quote I'd imagine that the missing vote off Matrim from D1 was manukos storing duralumin, as his vote for Matrim didn't seem like he thought Matrim was evil, and manukos later said we couldn't presume anything from the D1 vote manipulation.

Also, I just want to vote for Biplet for some reason, so between the two, that's what I'm going to do. Now that you mention it, the D2 vote manipulation is quite fascinating. Not necessarily fascinating in a way that leads to justifying a vote, idk how I feel about that, but still really interesting. Because, one of the votes on Biplet got canceled. There were four votes: TJ, Mist, Drake Matrim. At this point, you seem to be assuming one of those four people cancelled their own vote with feruchemy, which... Why? Like you said, it clearly can't be TJ or Mist. But in addition to that, Matrim and myself have both claimed, and those roles we claimed were confirmable. So you are additionally assuming one of us is lying about not having a second role. Except that is also mechanically impossible for me, or at least highly unlikely, since nobody should be able to start the game as a double ferring (or a double misting for that matter). So if we go down that road, then the only explanation is that Matrim must have lied about not having a second role. But again, why not consider the possibility of a Soother? Personally, I find that more likely, and I have a hunch I know who that Soother is. 7 hours ago, Matrim's Dice said: I mean, I don't think it played zero parts in deciding who I would target, but it certainly wasn't the forefront of my mind; like a subconscious thing more than anything else.

Biplet she/her Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 Sat in the tiny room that served as her prison cell, Shara had absolutely nothing to do. They’d taken her notes, her extra paper and pencils, and her vials of metal. Her secret, so well kept before, was out. Shara was a thug, and now everyone knew she was defenseless. She picked nervously at her pants, craving something to do with her hands. But without paper and a pencil, she had nothing. She paced. How to get out of this situation? Surely there was a way to pick the lock on the door, though as soon as she tried it she found it wasn’t a lock at all, but rather latched from the outside. So that was out. Maybe she could bust down--nope, no pewter, right. Maybe-- Stop it. Shara took a shaky breath. Escaping into the night wouldn’t look good on her. She could never return to Elendel again. The most logical and beneficial solution then was to stay and testify to her innocence. Surely Goren would believe her. Her reputation of calm, collected, logical thinking would precede her. It had to. And, of course, Iden would testify on her behalf. All Shara had to do was stay calm and she would be fine. She hoped.

I did mention the possibility of a Soother, but since the Biplet train happened late, the only people who saw it but didn't vote for her were Araris and Biplet, who were my two soother possibilities. I suppose it could have also been you or Matrim, but that's functionally the same as cancelling your own vote by storing. Biplet couldn't be a Soother if she's a thug and Araris voted for Biplet last turn, which at that point if they were e/e it's more likely either full bus or let Matrim die, especially since they would have known she would survive an exe.

Hm. How do you know that Araris and Biplet were the only ones who saw it? They might just be the ones who posted. Somebody else could have seen and responded to it without feeling the need to post anything. But possibly a more likely explanation... What if the order to sooth one of our votes happened before we voted on Biplet? I had been on Ashbringer for quite some time before then, for example, and at least for some of that time it looked like Ashbringer might be in the running for the exe. If that is the vote that got soothed, that would be... Interesting. I still think a Soother is more likely tbh. And I will do my best to find them, if they are to be found, for the sake of my role analysis bingo sheet. But if it turns out that there isn't a Soother, then I'm pretty sure that means Matrim lied. Which would be pretty funny and might also explain why they decided to emphasize that they are "just" a Thief. But I'm not sure what would be to gain from lying about this, is the thing. Also for the record I am confused by people saying things like E/E on people who they don't particularly think are eliminators.

DrakeMarshall he/him Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 Juno sauntered into the room, which honesty compelled her to admit was more of a guarded office cubicle than a proper cell, sporting a black eye and a dingy journal under one arm. Some nutter with a doll had decked her by the refreshments table and things had gotten a bit out of hand, but the only important part was that as far as Juno was concerned she came out ahead in that kerfuffle. The coppers were such spoilsports sometimes. "Sup, Shara," she greeted her friend. "I'm here unofficially, 'course. Not really my job on the board. But I figure you might be able to help me with some questions I been asking myself, yeah? Or at least, maybe you'd like some company? I brought food." Juno extended a plate loaded with cheese and bread from the refreshments table, or what was left of it after her fight anyways. She also ditched the empty journal, since it was mainly just for show. Juno had no need of such devices to remember her conversations, not with the polished copper wristwatch that adorned her arm. "Ah, maybe just don't tell the coppers bout the food, though. They wouldn't like it. They get funny ideas bout people sneaking in metal filings that way." "Anyways, um, how have you been doing?"
Biplet she/her Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 14 minutes ago, DrakeMarshall said: "Anyways, um, how have you been doing?" Shara raised an eyebrow. She hadn't seen Juno since the night Josephine died, right after they all left the tavern. She'd had it in good mind to think Juno was Josephine's murderer, though the Sweeper had claimed that, a hard claim to disprove. And what would Juno gain from interrogating Shara now? She obviously wasn't just here for the fun of it. Like all of them, Juno had a goal, and she liked to shove her way through to get to them. Without her notes, Shara felt exposed, unable to guess what could happen. Unpredictable. Open ended. Would Juno follow the pattern? Shara's breathing quickened. She couldn't remember if she'd marked down any irregularities in Juno's disposition. Had Juno come to kill her? Did she think Shara would spill some important information in her interrogation? She'd mentioned the food hiding something. Would it hide weapons? Shara forced herself to calm down, yet again. Vials of metal or not, notes or not, she would not crack now. Obviously, she had something Juno wanted, and that gave her a slight upper hand. And, even without pewter, Shara knew how to put up a fight. She smiled and relaxed into the seat. "I am as well as I can be. What brings you here?"
