Ooh, I feel honoured. The mighty Kasamir, forced to actually think to decide if I'm an eliminator or not. Does it hurt, Kas?
-
They can't??? damnation propaganda machine, lying to us... That was five minutes of pure awesomeness on a scale that would make even Lift proud. I do hope we get the Osgoods in again. I think they were great.

I'll agree that Felicity is awesome. Hot too, although not as hot as Thea. They have announced that this season they are going into full-on crossover mode. Both Flash, then Arrow, will host both teams in a two-part episode that covers both shows, this is only a few weeks away, and will be before the mid season break (which idiots decided a mid season break was a good idea? I want to watch a series, I don't want to watch half a series, then have to wait a month for the other half). A twit from Stephen Amell commented about having nine superheros on the screen at the same time. I reckon they are... Green Arrow Black Canary Speedy Flash Vibe White Canary Atom Firestorm Hawkgirl Now that is a group of people you do not want to upset.

In Australia, Supergirl was picked up by the Fox8 channel, and is due for broadcast next year. I'm afraid I cannot find an exact date for you though. If you prefer though, I can send you to a site that streams the episodes? PM me if you want the link.

Oops. Creccia. Creccio. Better? You're right, I don't trust you. Why? "I have my reasons, which I won't share, but all will become clear" - This is basically what you said to me in our PMs. How much dodgier can you sound? Your evasions whenever someone asks you a question (Kas asked if my arguments had won you over. Your reply said nothing, and just asked Kas what he thought). Even your explanations contain no information (see your above post about your PM with Maw for example). How was he suspicious? What did you explain? Did he share suspicions with you (besides yourself?) Now, as for your initial comment, about how I think last day cycle's vote played out, it looked like this. Lynch train starts forming on Shallan. You come along, add your vote, arguing for balance, and to force a tie to allow the (assumed) traitor feruchemist (it is feruchemist isn't it? The vote manipulator role, I mean) to work unchecked. Another dodgy moment from you I thought. Why would we want to allow the traitor feruchemist a chance to do anything unchecked is beyond me. We wouldn't have even gotten any solid information from it. All we would have seen is that someone manipulated a vote. I've been an eliminator vote manipulator in a previous game. For the first few cycles, I manipulated votes, yes, but I did it in a completely random way to keep myself hidden (worked for a few cycles, but then I made a silly mistake). Then, along come others, and Shallan collects more votes. You retract your vote from Shallan, still claiming that a tie would be the best result, yet you do not add your vote to Bridge Boy to even up the numbers again until Ada suggests it, at which point you quickly do so. Why, when arguing for a tie, would you hesitate there? Why not add your vote to BB as soon as it was off Shallan? At that point, it was still close enough that your vote for BB would have kept it as a tie. Then, finally, during the closing minutes of the cycle, you retract your vote completely off Bridge Boy, so you don't vote at all. Now, you could argue that you removed it because having it there was pointless. By then Shallan had already accrued more than enough votes to be executed, so what was the point of voting for Bridge Boy? You're right. Of course, the inverse could also be asked. Shallan had more than enough votes to ensure her lynch, so what was the point of taking your vote off Bridge Boy? The only thing I can think of is that there was an Eliminator already voting for Bridge Boy, so you tried to retract your vote unnoticed in order that two of you didn't appear in the same voting list when they were used for future reference, something eliminators tend to be very careful about. So, what single line deflections are you going to use this time, or are you actually going to answer these accusations? Edit: Oh, nearly forgot... Also, by the sounds of it from what you've said about your other PMs, and from the PM we shared, you were fishing for roles. Granted, there are a few reasons why you might want to, but the obvious one is you were hunting for Kandra and hemalurgists. @Elkanah: What do you want to know? I shared my suspicions earlier in the thread. They haven't changed much since then. In case you hadn't guessed, I'm currently most suspicious of Creccio. After that, I'm currently looking at either Wilson or Kipper being an eliminator, but I don't think both of them. I don't have anything solid to offer, but I'm leaning more towards Kipper at the moment. As for Maill's death, it wasn't me I feel guilty for Shallan's death since, as the third vote on her, I feel it was probably me that cemented the lynch train. Maill, on the other hand, I haven't spoken to him, PM'ed him, and had no idea to his role. Unfortunately, I can't even advise on who I think was most likely to pass the intel of his role on to the eliminators, since all of my current suspicions are on the list of people who knew. Captain, can we take everyone that knew of Maill's role, and push them out the airlock? We may lost a few loyalists, but it's pretty sure we'd get at least one traitor among them.

Lopen, I'm sorry to say I'll not be coming to you for lottery numbers again. You managed to get one, plus the bonus ball. Not bad, but we needed at least 3 to win. I'm unsure on Stink being a traitor,but after the D1 vote, and a PM conversation, I'm currently wondering about Creccia and Bridge Boy. Towards the end of D1, the votes are fairly well stacked towards lynching Bridge Boy. Then along comes Shallan. When Wilson, Kipper, then myself vote against her, it is a good opportunity to get votes away from Bridge Boy and onto someone else, assuming BB is an eliminator. Creccia comes into the thread, places a vote on Shallan, arguing for a tie between BB and Shallan. Shallan collects another few votes, so Creccia removes hers, but does not go back to Bridge Boy to maintain the tie she wanted until prompted to by Ada. Then, in the closing moments of the cycle, she goes and removes that vote so she isn't voting for anyone. Why? Near the start of the night cycle, Ada asked why her voted had been removed, and she replied she had reasons and would only share them in a PM. Ada, did she share those reasons with you? She started a PM with me in which I asked what her reasons were. She replied that she had them, wasn't going to share, and all would become clear in time. Then she asked for an analysis of her posts, what in them made me suspicious off her? It may just have been how it was worded, but it sounded like she was looking for things she'd have to work on to remain undetected. So, until I hear something that suggests otherwise, my vote for this cycle is on Creccia.

So, Lopen and I have been chatting via PM and while coming up with tonight's lotto numbers, we've also come up with a great idea to identify the traitors. Basically, we ask really nicely. So, would any traitors amongst the crew please identify yourselves? If you do so, I can offer you a tasty beardnut as a reward. Both Lopen and I have used this very scientific method to confirm that neither of us are traitors, but are in fact loyal crewmen. As additional notes go: I also received a PM from STINK. Nothing special. Creccio, sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday. Too much stuff to do IRL and when I got back to my PC I didn't have the bothereds to go back and analyze your posts to pick out the parts that made me suspicious. I'll try to get to it today. Yeah, I can understand why people are suspicious of me after that lynch. If it'll make anyone feel better, go ahead and kill me, scan me, whatever you need to do. Kas, the guest thing wasn't an eliminator tactic, just something that I'd never really paid much attention to before that game. It struck me as amusing how many people visited the thread as guests instead of logging in. I assume to hide their presence here. Like right now (or rather, about half an hour ago when I started typing this post), there is only one guest. So far this game, I think I've seen it up to 5. Maybe 6. I've already made one comment about it earlier in the game. I probably will do so again if I spot a high number. Doesn't mean anything though. Someone, Ada, I think, said something about a comment I made towards the end of the cycle, about being excited. That was just for entertainment value. I realised about two minutes after posting it that it wasn't my first cycle end ever (I've not seen many, since most games are set to a US time frame, but there have been a few). But, I thought it was funny, so left it up. Edit: Oh, I almost forgot. I also received a message from Thoreaux offering to sell me some beard butter to help me grow a long and luxurious beard. It's a great deal, and I suggest you all take it up immediately.

Excellent. I have Wilson on my case again. I'm still not sure how she pegged me as an Eliminator last time. This time, however, her suspicions are unfounded. Voting for Shallan was just a bad mistake. To answer the questions about why I voted for her so soon after Kipper and Wilson, I read Shallan's post within a few minutes of it was posted, and thought there was something off about it then. It looked like she was posting just to appear active, to look as though she was contributing, but really all it looked like to me was that she was restating stuff from the rules, so contributing, but not. Then I was called away from my PC for a few minutes (never leave cat poo lying in the litter tray - it can gas your house out within minutes!), and when I got back, Wilson had already said what I was thinking, and Kipper had already agreed. Since I was thinking the same thing anyways, I decided to post. My suspicions about Bridge Boy were fairly weak anyways, and I tended to agree with those who said he wouldn't have made a mistake like that had he been a traitor (I just didn't have anywhere else to put my vote earlier in the cycle), so if I had better suspicions, I felt I should go for them. In my last post, all I said was 'ouch', but I should also probably say sorry. I had my suspicions about Shallan, they were wrong, and now we've lost a Kandra.

I have a funny feeling the crossover episodes will introduce Rip Hunter and Vandal Savage, so Hawkgirl this week and the Rogues next week makes sense.
-
I have but one thing to say...Ouch
-
Unlucky Steph.
-
This is exciting. I don't think I've ever been on (or at least, on and awake) for a rollover before.
-
I know this is going to seem like jumping on a bandwagon, but I really do have to agree with Wilson and Kipper. There is something decidedly off about Shallan's post. Wilson summed it up pretty well. So, Bridge Boy. Shallan. New vote tally: Adavantos (2): Arraenae, Bridge Boy Burnt Spaghetti (1): Deathclutch Bridge Boy (4): Araris, Adavantos, STINK, Mailliw Shallan(4): phattemer, wilson, Kipper, Bort
-
So, you make one silly mistake, and suddenly I'm off your suspicions list... Braize you, Adavantos, I demand equal suspicions
-
Another great Arrow episode. Constantine played a great part, and I do hope we see more of him during the rest of the season. He strikes me as being a rather handy person to have around when facing off against the magic-using Darhk. Thought the Curtis Holt scene with all the energy drinks was funny, and yay!!! It's about time they discovered Ray is still alive. So, that's Firestorm and White Canary in position for Legends, with Ray Palmer and Hawkgirl lined up for their proper introductions next week (at least, I assume Hawkgirl will get a proper introduction next week. It may actually take a few weeks). They just need Rip Hunter, Captain Cold, and Heatwave to round out the team, and the Legends of Tomorrow are all set to go.

If they come to you and say 'I'm a Kandra and I've scanned you. Your alignment is X,' then it's a pretty good indication. You do bring up a good point about the Kandra's alignment though... I'm not too sure. I'm open to ideas.
-
It doesn't surprise me that they went for the glasses and 'no-one will recognise you since no-one expects it'. That worked fine for Superman, so it will work for Supergirl too. I'm not entirely sure what it is about Supergirl that I don't like, I just don't find it as enjoyable as Arrow or Flash.

I'd like to point out a few things here. Talking to the HI... The HI scans roles, then sits on that information because he has no-one to pass it on to, and posting people's roles in the main thread is not the best of ideas. Having someone act as a relay between the loyalists and the HI is a way to circumnavigate this. This way, when the HI does turn, all of their gathered information is not lost. This is how it should work... 1. HI is currently loyal (assuming we've not been trolled by Wyrm and there are loyalist hemalurgists). 2. A loyalist Kandra (or other alignment scanning role, I don't recall off the top of my head if there is another) scans someone to use as a relay between the loyalists and the HI. 3. Once confirmed, that person is told to contact the HI, and can relay any information from the HI to whoever the Kandra requests. The HI won't know for certain the alignment of the person they are talking to, but the Kandra will. Hence, the Kandra chooses who the intel goes to. If multiple people contact the HI and tell him 'The Kandra said to contact you', the names of each of those players is given out to the contact person (or contact people), because that will allow the Kandra and the correct contact person to identify someone who is quite obviously going to be an Eliminator. The Kandra can then rally support from among those people they have already scanned and bag a bad guy. Does this make more sense? I agree, I've not contributed too much to the game so far, but that's because it has been a few months since my last game, so I'm having to get my head back in the game, so to speak. As for my 'second' vote on BB, I didn't place a second vote on him to start a bandwagon. I've placed the one and only vote he has received this cycle. So, you've either got your intel wrong, or you are deliberately (if subtly) trying to make me look bad.
-
My vote is going to have to go for Dalinar.
-
Why do you suspect that at least one of these players is evil? Truth be told, the more I hear from you, the more suspicious I become that you are a traitor. You seemed to be trying too hard to push an agenda that may or may not be beneficial to the loyalists.
-
I always took that line to mean the Dysian Aimians could shift their bodies around.

There is one thing I wish we could do. Not just for this game, but for all SE games... Find out who all the 'Guests' are. To the tune of the Eagles... "Welcome to the Hotel Elimination..."
-
Umm... Maybe? Oh, oh, I worked out what this is... Shipboard entertainment!!! As for the HI, it could turn on us at any time after about day three (or potentially sooner; I've really not done the maths), so I don't think it is a good idea to give it any information about ourselves. However, as the HI can scan for roles, we do need someone talking to it, otherwise the HI will just collect role information, do nothing with it, and hand the traitors a list when it turns, and we'll have completely lost out.

Earth 2 Wells is, as Cisco said, a dick, although the dynamic between him and Jay is great. I thought Dr Light's outfit was brilliant, and I thought the Zoom reveal at the end of the episode was painfully obvious. This episode also gave us some clues to the identity of Killer Frost, when she finally puts in an appearance. Either she is the Earth 2 version of Caitlain Snow, or she gains her powers a different way to your average, run of the mill metahumans (Wells' watch didn't pick her up, so she's not a meta yet). It has been said that Damien Darhk will be on both Arrow and Flash, and in the comics, Killer Frost came about thanks to HIVE, so it is my belief that Darhk is going to do something to Caitlain, and turn her into a psychopath with superpowers.

Bort read the Captain's decree and shrugged. After a moment, he smiled. He had been expecting a long and busy trip, refining all kinds of metals for the allomancers, feruchemists and hemalurgists. Now, the number of people who had access to such powers had been considerably cut, which meant that most of the journey could be covered by the metals Bort had already prepared. He went and locked the door to his metals storeroom, popped a chair up against it (he couldn't go too far, in case one of the 'allowed' metalborn needed metals), and pulled out his copy of Way of Kings. He always did like historical fiction. Edit: I'd also like to prod IRuleLikeSTINK, Creccio, and Haelbarde. All have been seen hanging around the thread this morning, but none have contributed.
