It's not overcompensation, it's paranoia. So noted.

...Denth? :S

Either great minds think alike, or fools seldom differ The Bloodthirsty Goddess calls that overkill? Really? What did I just read, even? o.O

Pity you aren't just killing them all (But to be fair, I think you made a similar ruling on the Channeler/Wisdom. Or I'm misremembering the GM I asked this of.)

Well, that hasn't happened in this thread since about forever (I remember many people who made mistakes in their WLIU responses who haven't bothered to do so), but more importantly, I don't think it's sporting to ask that of Gleeman. I don't really consider that an answer, but the fault is mine for not phrasing my question in such a way as to avoid that loophole. In future, I will be certain to be a bit more precise with my language.

I see I need to be more clearly restrictive about my question as I expected ten different formal fallacies. Given a formal fallacy is disambiguated by structure, giving me ten instances of affirming the consequent should not, by any sensible understanding of what a formal fallacy is, count, as these have been disambiguated by content. Oh well.
-
The other point is that the complication is making it hard for me to give feedback, TBH. There are so many interactions and possibilities that it's hard to be able to say something constructive about say, game balance. Still, I'll try again later.

Things Sanderson Elimination has taught me: how to cheat egregiously on a biased assignment.

This looks pretty great. Good luck to all playing!

Quick Fix Game 6: A Time of Nightmares
Kasimir replied to Herowannabe's topic in Sanderson Elimination
TBH, I'm absolutely agreed on how crucial (plus on-target!) Joe's Seekings were. And his outing himself as the Psychologist (well, although I suppose he didn't mean to do so, at least not with how he convinced the Lounge that he was the Psychologist) was the turning point in being able to trace the connections between the Eliminators. It was also crucial in at least convincing paranoid players like me that we could trust Luckat and connect with her. In a sense, I would say that his revealing that Luckat was the Espionage Agent and I was the Cryptologist in the room with Piff really forced the issue in a good way, too: we didn't have to hide having access to information we weren't supposed to have and could just play it from there. So yes. I take my hat (hood?) off to you, Joe -
Fortunately, you mean. I really don't have the mental energy to do another boast at this point, though I'll be exceedingly interested to know what the answer to this one is!

Technically, I'm supposed to be reading 'Rational self-doubt and the failure of closure' by Joshua Schechter. However, after having been shot down ten times (I kid you not) in my attempt to do my paper, I went to Google some other stuff and found that Philip Kerr had gone and produced another Bernie Gunther book when I hadn't been paying attention! So recently: I finished The Autumn Republic and generally liked it. Ditto for Brian Staveley's The Providence of Fire, although I had to resist the urge to throttle characters at various points. (I've gotten more impatient with characters, I find, even though I never really have that feeling with characters in a Sanderson book.) Actually, I generally have mixed feelings about books that try to draw on Chinese-type settings, so I'll leave it at that. In addition, I'm moving onto A Man Without Breath (Kerr's Gunther #9 book), and I'm still on the first few pages of Überm Rauschen by Norbert Scheuer. The problem with the latter being not that it isn't interesting, but that I end up reading more of my trusty dictionary that I do the book -.-''' I appreciate Kerr's mystery books though: I tend to get impatient with mystery books when you can see the ending coming by the time you're done with Chapter Two. (In that vein, let me comment that Mark Charan Newton's Drakenfeld series seems pretty excellent, though Book Two is a little strange given how Book One was.)

My last guess is for Szeth.
-
I'm in this awkward position where I want to field a guess or two more, but I want to let others have a go since the limit is ten guesses. And I'm not ready to try and come up with another boast again ...I think I'll stay out of it, now
-
The Wit? :S
-
Nalan?
-
Lindel got it. Congrats, Lindel, now it's your turn to do this
-
Nope to both. The character in question is on Scadrial.
-
Nope. I'm starting to think I missed on this one...whoops >>
-
Thanks! Unfortunately, it isn't Vasher.
-
Hoo boy.

^This is my exact problem. With the colour adjustments, I still see white/brown, just with a bluish tinge to it. I've just shrugged and moved on.

...Really, Jain, your priorities are grossly mixed up. As far as I'm concerned, I keep telling you I did nothing. I was apathetic. I just sat there and watched the world burn.
