BT4: Last Night, Rain Mingled With Mist The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. The small village of Helgen is sheltered from the Blight by the mountains of Kandor and the swords of the Borderlanders. This is not your war: most of you have grown up in Helgen and will die there as well. Last night, the rain mingled with the spreading mist. They hung a Darkfriend in the village square, that morning. You remember it. Old Sargon, no one quite believed he had it in him. But he went to the gibbet, his head held high, screaming the Dark One’s name on his lips. That was the dawn. Last night, the mountain rain mingled with the soft white mist spreading through Helgen, blanketing it in a strange forgetfulness. This morning… Old Sargon walks into the village inn and laughs and orders a mead. Not dead. Not rotting. Still breathing, Light burn him and damn him forever. You are used to the Blight, to fell things. Sometimes, the Dark One reaches out from his prison and touches the world. This though? You don’t know what to make of it. Old Sargon claims a Forsaken walks among you, that Helgen is doomed. And still, the mist creeps in. General Rules: Win Conditions: Mechanics: Roles: Quick Links Sign-ups are open for a week from today through Friday, 15th December, 1300hrs SGT [=GMT+8]. Rollovers will be set to 1330hrs/0130hrs alternating as Turns are 12 hours long. We will formally announce the wincon (X cycles) and may adjust the number of Villagers executed before the Shadow wins - this will be dependent on Sacred Maths once we have a better idea of sign-up numbers. Please do not post until the secondary post is up, with player list and clarifications.

RIP yeah, that would be annoying. So much smearing! I'm a fan of the old Sailor scrollwork myself

The fact that Mat instigated quokkas as the sacred animal of Holy Ruin, Destroyer of Worlds and Elims is never not funny to me, especially since they're back in his game now

Oh?

Yeah, some of the hikes are pretty steep, e.g. an increase of almost $200. Happy to have had my Nakaya grail because I feel like a Pilot hike is weakly indicative the Big Three will soon follow. Decorations? Am happy with my elastic broad tbh. Guilty as charged

Signing up as Kasim, a SE-er who has Seem Some Crem and is going for his first con because as it turns out, Dragonsteel never blesses his part of the world. ( @Ookla the Destined - request that if you RP my character, RP as Kasim, as this is the guy I'm inventing a whole SE history for and playing as ) The few SE games Kasim has played occurred early enough that most people probably won't know him. (Except Araris, but Araris is a living fossil.) Those who remember him will know him under the handle @WildKarrde as the guy who shot Araris in the face C1, costing the Village a Seeker, because he was drunk RNGesus told him to. Edited to add: RP may be light as my hand is still recovering but how often do I get to invent a whole SE-er out of cloth

Wartales, though I'm watching more than playing due to a wrist RSI injury and the need to reduce screen time. I really liked Mount & Blade but not the combat, which tended to give me headaches. Wartales feels like the best of both worlds - I get turn-based combat reminiscent of XCOM but also squad management.

I liked it, but still prefer TR, Midori MD, or Muji I think. Still that Nakaya for me. I understand now what people mean when they make posts of a Nakaya they've had for 4+ years. I'm actually excited to see this pen age with me and it is a keeper. Inks-wise, I'm still on Lennon Toolbar Shuise, which is uh, interesting to read Reasonable. The Pilot price increase (again!) has been painful but a good reminder to focus on collection right-sizing IMO. Medium 3776 is a good choice ngl. My first 3776 nib didn't impress me but the Nakaya nib is a 3776 nib and it's great. Yeah, honestly don't feel you are missing too much but I'm also not the CAL fan here Fair, they're not really available here but there's the cost-friendly Herlitz though apparently now they've changed production methods, quality is a bit more inconsistent. Wild Strawberry ftw, and the Houndstooth and Kakuno are good shouts!

Thanks Araris! Enjoyed the concept, but my RPing petered off quite a bit with the wrist injury and trying to write half-hearted RP explaining I was typing in significant pain at points just didn't feel fun. I'd be down for another run with this sort of game concept in future, hopefully with a healed wrist

Edit: Tbh after AC: Odyssey I can never see a naval battle without hearing: "BOARDING PARTY! ON ME!" "HAOOH! HAOOH!"

If u can't calk him u gotta just open him up with a good old fashioned flanking tactic smhhh sir

You're at the top of the stack, gancho. As long as you send in a ruleset in a reasonably timely fashion, you're good, kolo? Keep in mind you're running the last game before the AG so don't drag it out but little danger of that I think. I R R E D E E M A B L E

We can take him. Both of us together You come in slowly on the left, and I'll get the BT-

Probably going to try to commit to once a month posts to keep this alive Favourite pens/inks of the month? Cosmo Air Light is shutting production, causing consternation in my part of the world. Some of my pen friends really like CAL paper!

Updating in a separate post: MR List: 1. @Ookla the Destined 2. @Quirksliver 3. @Karnatheon (unlikely) 4. @Ashbringer 5. @Steeldancer (unlikely) 6. @JNV 7. @Kasimir Who's up? BT List: 1. @Ashbringer 2. @Quirksliver 3. @DrakeMarshall & @Kasimir (ownself tag ownself...) So yeah. Tagging in advance because of ruleset prep, submission to committee etc please settle it, y'all - BT-side if no one's got anything, Drake and I are ready to go. P.S. Incidentally, Fifth and I are tied at the top in terms of numbers of games GMed this year

I just didn't want to get into it It wasn't worth the painkillers. So I just graduated into "cool, you wanna vote me Raven? That's cool, have fun, I have no energy for this " Oh?

@Ashbringer / @Quirksliver - do either of you have a BT ruleset to run? Ash is #1, Quirk #2. Asking as if not, it's probably @DrakeMarshall and I.

Having rested, Onon continued scribbling yet again. He'd gone over the events of the day, and had a few more comments he wished to make: He pulled out a fresh sheet of paper and began again, dipping the pen into the ink. He wondered if there was anything worthwhile about pathwalking. Sometimes, Onon found the technique useful for illuminating possibilities, and robust ones especially deserved to be explored. He sighed, and committed to it. E!Pending World: Although Onon was tempted to say Rilla looked good for Day One apathy, in truth, it was simply difficult to determine. Rilla had been away, so there was no real inference that could be drawn. A similar, soft argument could be made for Jorrick, with the exception Jorrick had been around, so could have potentially been more present had a Spiked partner been endangered. Still, Onon didn't feel too strongly about that - he thought there were other reasons to exonerate Jorrick. Sirta had most certainly been around, and Sirta's contentment to stay on Onon felt promising. It wasn't what you expected from someone whose partner was potentially endangered, and who could have forced an exe of Sono, though perhaps the argument here was that a late movement looked suspicious. Still, having other reasons to read Sirta as a Villager, Onon didn't feel too perturbed here. The main Spiked partner candidates in this world were in <Rem, Dasenk>, with a side of <Rilla>. Rem was the most promising partner here due to his relative unwillingness to endanger Pending, even at the cost of a tie. Dasenk suddenly pushing against Sono left them no less a candidate, however, and subsequently unable to retract without endangering Pending. However, Dasenk voted and remained on Pending on the second day - while distancing was a tactic, it left them looking somewhat better compared to Rem. The stability of this world was questionable in light of the fact Pending hadn't felt compelled to accuse Sono, and that no one would really have bedgrudged Pending the vote on Sono. Perhaps Pending had been content with what he thought were 50/50 odds; the lord loved a little risk. Still, Onon left the thought to soak like day-old beans. V!Pending World: In a world where Pending was Village, Rem's insistence on pushing Sono became a little more mysterious: Spiked had little reason to particularly care here. It was possible, Onon supposed, that Rem was trying to manufacture a tunnel, but even so. <Dasenk, Sirta> both looked suspicious here, due to high stability entailing high confidence or complacency with the state of affairs, with a side of <Rilla, Rem>. Still, just as with Jorrick, there were reasons to exclude Sirta here. This really meant that <Rem, Dasenk> were prime candidates for suspicion in either Pending world. Hang on a tick. Wasn't the entire point of Rem's push against Sono the improbability of two Lurchers? Weren't we supposed to buy the whole reason Rem was so dead-set against Sono D1 was because of the Two Lurcher Problem? I certainly had other issues against Sono, but I don't feel Rem's own "your behaviour changed" argument against Sono was this strong and warranted this sort of 'I will vote you unto a tie and beyond' behaviour without the backup of the Two Lurcher Problem. Rem was attacked on the first Night. Since we now know Sono flipped Village, one wonders if the attack was meant to frame Sono (by attacking Villager Rem), or to buy Village credit for Spiked Rem, knowing Rem might be in trouble once Sono flipped. Potential S/S connection between Rem and Pending based off D1 voting behaviour. Pointing out again that Pending's D1 sunset didn't feel particularly invested, and in fact, felt like a pale red flag. Revisiting my memories of D1, I don't strongly feel that Rem/Dasenk are S/S either. Rem bringing up Dasenk that way just had no real impetus, and felt very casual/off-the-cuff. (Noting that this entails for me that the best S!partner for S!Pending is Rem, and in a V!Pending, S!Rem world, S!partner is unlikely to be Dasenk, so I'd have to look to Rilla.) Pending retracted his accusation immediately as soon as Sono claimed. Notable I think in light of the fact that Dasenk went on and Rem stayed. Difficult to understand why S!Pending makes that claim. Feel we are committed to one point of oddness no matter what world we are in: (i) S!Pending didn't vote in self-preservation and made the fake Seeker claim, (ii) S!Rem attacked himself for Village cred, (iii) Spiked are in <Rilla, Dasenk, Jorrick>, which entails a false assumption about Dasenk's approach. Onon hesitated. A thick blob of ink splattered down onto the paper which drank it up like villages - they loved this ritual master gig. He began anew, cursing quietly. Onon frowned. The issue was that the Pending-Rem world required the Spiked to have committed to extreme pacifism. He could see it in Pending's wheelhouse, but the thought that the Spiked were extremely alright with missing two kills...felt like an assumption you reached afterwards, not before. It did suggest Pending and Rem were less likely to be teamed, which meant you just had to explain/accept one oddity after all. He would probably push Pending first, due to the attack having hit Rem, he supposed. But it was a near thing. Edited to add: When Onon meant that it seemed as though Rilla felt almost compelled to vote Sirta, he just meant that Rilla seemed to overjustify needing to vote Sirta. Of course a Spiked - had Sirta genuinely been Spiked - would have had to lie and claim Pending's falsehood implied Copper's Bend was somehow already doomed. In other words - it felt odd/wrong to Onon because the standard play anyway was to just shoot the claimed Spiked and then the Seeker if something was wrong. That was how it went: you acted on information, and if the information was false, you killed the liar. Sure, you could argue about whether you could afford to be wrong, but that wasn't even a consideration for Rilla, so why the focus on aspects of Sirta's words that weren't relevant to the issue at hand?

Onon worked furiously, scribbling on the sheet of paper. He regretted the time lost to the apothecary's painkilling liquid. He'd an odd, almost-feverish dream of being somewhere else, desperately trying to avert disaster before a countdown... Folly. No matter. He was here and now, and he still had a job to do. First, Onon drew out the tally of the accusations at the end of yesterday. He labelled it 'Day One' for convenience. That was the objective version: or if you liked, the intersubjective version. Then, Onon chalked in his own credences. Off the top of his head, Onon noticed that the Pending accusation seemed, from his perspective, to be fairly pure. While it was interesting that they'd ended up with a tie, Onon's thoughts were that Jorrick and Rilla had been missing; Revir didn't matter here as he was now known to be a loyal villager. Rem voting on Sono could be seen as an attempt to preserve Pending. It was interesting to Onon that Pending hadn't changed his accusation - he could've easily cost the Village Sono at this juncture. While Onon believed Sirta was loyal, he had to acknowledge that he'd seen Sirta around sunset. Sirta had declined to influence the results of the day. That, too, was interesting. Rem had been locked on Sono, seemingly content with a tie. He scribbled this down in notes: Second, Onon drew out the tally of the accusations at the end of today. He labelled it 'Day Two' for convenience. Then, he drew out a version that was coloured with his credences. Onon had more conclusions he was willing to draw. However, his arm was beginning to once again ache. He decided to leave off for the moment and resume in a short while after rest.

"In my view, immediate implications in Pending and Rem. Agree more likely Pending. I'll commit to more after redoing my reads and looking at the accusations from earlier today and yesterday," said Onon.

Mat go with my gut
