    What? Why? Didn't you just write a page-long post about your initial vote being an effort to balance the discussion? Do you not understand that there is a connection between voting and the actual lynch? There were about 4 hours left in the cycle at the time of your post. Could you please clarify this? Because from what you've written, it doesn't seem as if you think you have an actual reason to kill me. Your vote on me did not balance the discussion, either. Not by a long shot. What it did was put me and Orlok into separate, polarized camps. We've spent most of these last 45 hours throwing lynch arguments at one another! This is Day One. Day. Stinking. One. We honestly should not have had to have been at each others' throats like that. Here's the other thing about Day One: We don't need to quibble about the exact accuracy of the lynch, and in this case, I think it is quite evidently in our best interest to kill someone, even if we aren't close to certain about them. What turned me on to Orlok initially was, yes, his quick and somewhat nonsensical refutation of Kasimir's post, but what's kept my vote on him is that his arguments have been (I'm sort of frustrated, which is turning me into a slontze) consistently nonsensical. I'm like, 60% sure that he's a villager, but that's the best set of odds I can come up with. That's it. Lastly, on an unrelated note: The question of whether to focus on the Derethi or the Cult. Sigh... (Again, me being a slontze right now.) I'm just going to get this one out of the way, right now, because it seems as if some people are starting to pick up on it. The fact is: Discussion just doesn't work like that. Discussion in SE is basically just people pointing out things that are relevant to the game. As such, I find the idea of "focusing" discussion to be plain ridiculous. There is... more than enough time, and more than enough space, to discuss both Eliminator groups, and, in fact, that is exactly what is going to happen as soon as Day 2 hits and we stop being so interested in game mechanics. Clear? We will focus on both groups. It's just what's going to happen.

    I thought Steelheart was a little predictable, but Firefight was awesome. You can't go wrong with Brandon Sanderson

    Hmm... I never denied being a debtor (There's no point in denying a role anyway.) All that I said regarding it was this: ie. If I were a village debtor, There would be no change whatsoever in my playstyle. I would never even think of bothering to push a lynch just to save myself (I mean, you guys realize that you still win if you die, right?.) I figured that post would clear the question up, but anyway... And no, I'm definitely not implying that I'm a debtor by posting this, either. Sheesh.

    *Shrug* Because of the debtor mechanic, Someone is going to be dying. There's no argument here for "not lynching anyone first cycle to keep our numbers from being thinned down." Despite what Wilson said, I myself am assuming that there are no debtors among the spies this game. Sure, the role has a tiny, little iota of offensive potential, but the role's purpose is to keep the discussion churning. To keep us lynching people and keep the main thread a little louder. Bottom line of my "reasoning:" If we lynch someone today we stand a pretty good chance of hitting a villager. If we don't lynch someone, we're pretty much guaranteed to hit a villager. That sounds to me like a good situation for a long-odds bet, and when I saw some parallels between your posts here and your posts in MR6, I went for it. It's a hunch, but my hunches in MR were weirdly accurate, and given the situation with the debtors, it's seems to me like good enough grounds for targeting you. Make of it what you will.
  5. Mckeedee123
    I sort of was. Your posts here honestly do seem to mirror your actions at the end MR6 to me. Could it be that I have residual feelings of mistrust about you from that recent game? Probably. I saw what I saw, though, and in this case I'd be willing to put a lynch onto you, since it seems it would have a higher probability of hitting a Spy than anyone else. I doubt everyone agrees with me, but that's my little contribution to the discussion My credo in SE is just to help my team as much as possible. I don't really care about dying (unless I die lamely after accidentally getting a lynch off on a villager.) If I were a village debtor in this game, and I'm not saying I am, I wouldn't bother trying to lynch people just to save my own hide, so let that assure you that my intentions are pure (or evil, I guess, but just not some sort of wishy-washy middle ground, since that's what you're implying.)

    I would expect for there to be some Epic dispersion into the countryside from large cities. I don't think most Epics would choose to live in the place where they grew up, as that would wreak havoc on their paranoid little minds.
  7. Mckeedee123
    Been gone all day, but... I second Kasmir's vote on Orlok. Orlok's reaction to Kasimir's comments about the Derethi faction reminds me of what he did to me at the end of MR6: Making a half-hearted attempt to discuss by quickly refuting a position. The post that he responded to wasn't even very provocative, it was mostly just a call for more info. Now, maybe that sort of refutation is just his playstyle (in which case it's kind of rude of me to be so dismissive of it,) but the nature of it seems typical to me of someone who's more interested in their doc than the thread discussion.

    Ha! I liked that last one I remember having a similar problem the first time I tried posting pictures in this thread, but I don't remember what I was doing wrong . Go to the meme's page in your "My images" thing on Imgflip, right click, and it'll let you copy the Image URL. Then just go to the Posting-GUI thing in 17S, hit the "Image" doohickey on the tools bar, paste the URL, and you should be golden.

    Not having a chin... Maybe it qualifies as some sort of meta-Epic power. What if Slaughterhouse came along and decided to morph Phineas' chin into some sort of spike that impaled him? Well... Surprise! No chin.
  10. Mckeedee123
    A really pointy nose so that his miniature doubles as a projectile weapon? Think about it. It could work.
  11. Mckeedee123
    There. I am now officially inside of The Dalles. Though it bugs me that I had to leave it on an indecisive note once again. To be honest, I'm not sure how to get into these storylines. Should I be PM-ing people or something?
  12. Mckeedee123
    Why does it feel as if three quarters of the RP in this section of the forums is posted between 5:00 and 6:00?

    Also a few hours earlier... Most Epics would be more than happy to torture, slaughter, or enslave any group of vanillas that they happened to notice wandering around in the wilderness, so Crush wasn't too surprised to find that the convoy had already been destroyed by the time he landed there. He caught himself on the back end of a force field and absentmindedly decapitated the two pandas that charged at him. The field was dotted with corpses. Most were human, but Crush noted a few that bore the furry, black-and-white hides of panda warriors. Survivors of the battle, all of which looked to be pandas, poked through the wreckage. Apparently, it was worth the danger to lag behind their army's retreat in search of metal items, which were being gathered in the center. They're looking for weapons-grade metals, He guessed, Attacking with wooden swords and bamboo spears couldn't have been very effective. Crush hopped on a force field and floated silently to the camp's center, using blades of orange light to kill any pandas that noticed him. Ten, eleven, twelve... I wonder what the world record is for "number of pandas slaughtered in a single day." He arrived at the pile and began poking through it, searching for better weaponry. A sharp-ended piece of rebar caught his eye, and as pulled it out a roar sounded behind him. An entire platoon of pandas, enraged at finding their decapitated comrades, were nocking arrows at him. Others crawled out of tents, edging forward with spears held in perfect battle stances. Crush just laughed and rocketed into the air. There was no need to fight these pandas today. He threw his wooden sword at them as he disappeared over the forest, looking for refugees. A line of figures appeared beneath him. Pandas? A few. The rest looked to be captured humans with bags over their heads. Finally! Crush took a few moments to decide on an appropriate catch phrase, then grinned and fell to the ground, crushing another panda into a blot of gore. "It's good that the World Wildlife Fund was destroyed during The Collapse, because I don't even want to know what they'd have to say about this." He burst into action. Crush, stab, block, decapitate... crush, stab, block, decapitate... He threw a few stumbles in there, too. By the time Crush had finished turning the platoon into a pile of assorted panda appendages, he had counted over 20 kills. He sighed, realizing that the prisoners hadn't been able to witness the spectacle, then pulled the bags off of their heads, one by one. They blinked, surprised. "Seriously, if any of you guys were donors or anything, I'm sorry. Pandas are cute and all, but when they start taking up arms and overrunning townships, some of us can't just stand by for the sake of Conservationism." A woman looked at him suspiciously, and he flashed another smile. "My name's Crush. Orange Crush. I'm basically the most powerful Epic in Oregon, so you can grovel or bow if you want to. Doesn't matter to me." An old man piped up in the back of the group. "We will die before we bow to another Epic ruler. We've suffered enough at the hands of your kind." Crush sighed, gesturing placatively. "Hey, it's cool, man. I don't, like, need the attention, or the power, or anything. I'm basically a sparking superhero, alright? And I just came to this town to get groupies." Lots of raised eyebrows, Crush noted. "Groupies, you know? Fanboys, fangirls, admirers, devotees, hangers-on, um... papparazi... all that jazz. The point is this:" Crush paused for a moment. "I need a heroic entrance, and you need protection on your way back to town. I'm feeling some synergy between us, how about you?" He pointed in the direction of the town. "So let's get to it, before I get bored and just let those pandas claw your faces off." ______________________________________________________ Back to the present... As the group reached the outskirts of town, a cacaphony of sirens broke out. Ambulances? Crush thought, Does the town have an Omnipotence Epic that saw us approach? Sure, the refugees were a little worse for wear, and Crush had managed, in his various slaughters, to get his orange clothes pretty bloodstained, but it was hardly cause for- A faint gunshot. The sirens stopped. Alright, forget these civilians, he thought, it's about time I figure out what in Calamity is going on in this town.
  14. Mckeedee123
    Alright... Finished another O-Crush RP that I really like, but I'm afraid to double-post (don't worry, it doesn't involve anyone else's characters... yet.)
  15. Mckeedee123
    Ooh... just realized how right you were. I don't think I could bring myself to add yet another plotline to this already convoluted storyline with a few scenes of Crush leading the hostages back to town. Probably best to just immerse him in what's happening immediately. It was kind of presumptuous, I guess, so sorry Aonar. It's just that it was kind of bugging me that he was attacking pandas when they turned out to be much more "retreated" at this point in the story than I originally thought. I changed it back, though now he's fighting in a forest instead of the outskirts of town. And as long as I'm in a confessional mood... Is the thing that this guy does even force fields? Most of the time, he generates them as flat planes. Does "force field" imply a spherical shape? The distinction seems to have cause a lot of confusion, and I feel as if I'm the one who's caused it
  16. Mckeedee123
    So who's going to continue their plot segment next? I sort of want to keep going with this, but don't want two Orange Crush posts in a row.
  17. Mckeedee123
    Alright. I just spent... 11 hours reading the entirety of the The Dalles thread. It was actually pretty good. Now that I'm up to speed, I edited my post a bit to make it a little bit more relevant to the story. Basically, the seven pandas that he killed are now implied to be the remains of the group that attacked Ethan's convoy.
  18. Mckeedee123
    That was the plan? Okay. Come to think of it, where are you guys going with the The Dalles RP? Are you trying to wind down the action right now? Finish off the pandas?
  19. Mckeedee123
    Well, I meant that it's been quite a while in the thread since his situation has been addressed.
  20. Mckeedee123
    Actually, come to think of it, not a lot has happened to Deathwish recently. He could go there.
  21. Mckeedee123
    That's true, I suppose.
  22. Mckeedee123
    I suppose so. Think of the force fields as the wall of a house. The "front end" is the plaster and the "back end" is the insulation. The field can be cast in any direction (with the back end either facing towards or away from him) but that's just the terminology I made up to describe the shape of the field. I was thinking both. I figured it would help him if an Epic started throwing heavy objects (like tanks) at the force fields. The fields would get knocked back pretty hard by that, but maybe if he was pushing on them physically, they could withstand it.
  23. Mckeedee123
    Umm... good point I suppose I'll change that. The front end will be its own super-thin, super-strong material from now on, instead of being 2D. As to his secondary... how about a little extra strength and density? Not tank-flipping strength, just, like, motorcycle-flipping strength
  24. Mckeedee123
    It's you guys' move. I'd be glad if someone pulled him into their story where it's applicable (and provided some context! I don't really understand any of them too well )
  25. Mckeedee123
    I was having really bad writer's block last night. I'm glad I got over it this morning (I spent about 4 hours trying to write the first two paragraphs last night, and maybe an hour and a half writing everything else this morning)
