    Sure. I have a strong feeling he hates pandas.

    When do we want to meet this month?
  4. little wilson
    Orlok suggested at the beginning of the game that I pull the iron out of everyone's blood and take away the extra lives. Sheep similarly didn't allow it.

    Why would someone choose to explode if they insta-lose?

    I'm certain that creating chaos within the Agents of Chaos is not the chaos that the Agents of Chaos are meant to be creating. And considering that I was planning on submitting a recurring order to give anyone who targeted me at all shingles (resulting in a cycle roleblock), and putting all my spheres in a metal cage.....Good luck.
  7. little wilson
    Blast. I should've suggested it. Because he really wanted to be an elementalist and we could've used four of them in the Agents to sow even more chaos. Could've been fun. Though you and Aonar both having a vendetta against me could've been interesting. Hm.
  8. little wilson
    Yeah, that attack went through. If you read the AoC doc, you'll see me mention that, and I worked it out that it was probably you. Something to do with my denying your proposal. I thought about seeing if you'd marry Aonar, but Orlok proposed to me the same cycle so he could get the Metal Elementalist abilities. Were you Odium?
  9. little wilson
    That would be I who poisoned your pancakes. As well as anyone else who got pancakes on Cycle 2 (either by action or RP). You're welcome. Did you try to attack me this turn? Or are you referring to the attack before? Because if you tried to attack me just now, I'm sorry. You got shingles. Once again, you're welcome.

    So did we skip cycle 6? I thought the meteor was striking day 7 and we just ended night 5...

    Hmm....pandapocalypse. I like this. This is a Good Thing.

    Okay, I'm going to say one thing, and then I'm going to back out of this again. The only reason I'm doing this is because I've finally realized exactly what it is about this "theory" that bugs me so much. I get that you don't want a shipping conversation, SLNC. I do. You want to focus on Shallan and discuss Radiant and if Radiant is good or bad for her. But that's not what you're doing with the OP or really any of your responses until very recently. You brought the boys in from the start, partially by saying this: (which makes it lean toward the shipping side and which boy is better for her, by the way) and then also by saying that Shallan's creation of Radiant - which she did because she's severely emotionally and mentally traumatized and has been for years, but has been hiding that trauma under a mask - is all because of a boy, because she couldn't bear the thought of him leaving her. This minimizes her trauma and makes her one-dimensional. Shallan didn't do this for or because of Adolin. She did it because of herself. Plain and simple. It doesn't matter if Adolin happened to be the one who was there the way the story was written. It doesn't matter if she happened to think that about Adolin around the time when this happened. It was not Adolin who was the cause or catalyst for it. It was Shallan's severe emotional and mental trauma. The trauma she has not learned to deal with and doesn't want to face. Please do not minimize the impact of this for her and about her by saying she did it because of a boy. She is an independent character and there's absolutely no reason why Adolin should define her more than her own history and personality.
  13. little wilson
    I'm not saying that you're blaming him. I'm disagreeing that he's involuntarily enabling Shallan. I'm saying that anyone (within reason) could've done exactly what Adolin did and the same thing would've resulted.
  14. little wilson
    It's related to Adolin merely because he happened to be the one to point it out. I suppose keeping the status quo could be a small part of it, but it is far from the driving motivator here. I can see her wanting to say she doesn't want it. But I don't see Dalinar accepting that. He'd either not even hear her, because he says it, and then goes off to do something else, since he's stating it as fact, not asking for input, because it's not even a discussion to him, or he'd hear her and be like "Why?" And whatever explanation she came up with (which wouldn't be the true one), he'd like "You knowing how to use the Blade is more important. End of discussion." And then Zahel or another swordsmaster comes to her and says "I'm here to teach you, Highprince's orders." And if she hasn't already had her Brightness Radiant breakdown, she does then. And sure, Brightness Radiant doesn't help her accept Pattern as a Blade (though I disagree with you about what Shallan thinks of Radiant), but that's not the point. The point is that Adolin is not the reason for Radiant's creation. Yes, she has to open up, and yes, Kaladin didn't judge her. They were also in a stressful situation and exhausted, so her inhibitions were a little lower and she was more likely to open up to someone then. I rather doubt she would've opened up to Kaladin otherwise. To say that she'll never open up to anyone else, much less Adolin, about her past because she's too afraid.....I don't see it. I'm aware, but outside of what she shared with him, I don't see him really being able to do that to any large degree. Putting two people with very different mental illnesses together when both need help with their respective mental illnesses strikes me as a very bad idea for both of those people. That is not a healthy relationship. At all.

    My word for the Wheel of Time world.
  16. little wilson
    Yes. At least, SE Scadrial does. You see, Jaina is named after a famed ancestor named Jain. Jain traveled far and wide, found pandas, and helped spread their amazingness around the Cosmere. Because of Jain, pandas are everywhere. Randland, Roshar, Scadrial, even Threnody has pandas. Because pandas.

    I disagree rather vehemently that Adolin is hindering her, at least in regard to this. Her creation of Brightness Radiant isn't related to Adolin at all. Dalinar could've been like "I've arranged a swordmaster to train you with your Shardblade so you can learn to use it," and she would've had the exact same reaction. It's not the betrothal that did it. It's that she has a Blade that she has to come to terms with and she doesn't feel like she can do that as herself. She's afraid, and she's using a terrible coping mechanism to mask that fear from herself and others. Until she can learn to recognize her different personalities as herself and accept herself and what she's done, there isn't anything that anyone - Adolin, Kaladin, or someone entirely different - would be able to do to help her. It's not a romantic partner she needs to help her conquer this. It's herself. She needs outside help, yes, but the core of the healing is going to come from within her and she's not in a mental place to do that right now, and no one else can help her until she accepts that something is dreadfully wrong and is willing to work through it. She might recognize that something is wrong, but she's creating other personalities to mask it. She's hiding. Kaladin won't be able to help that any more than she can, especially since Kaladin has his own mental health issues. He'll be able to empathize to a degree, but I'm unconvinced that he'd be a good help for her.

    So....I think I want to try a new playstyle. For this game, I'll be....Jaina. Jaina's favorite animal is a panda. She even has a toy one that she's never apart from. Pandas are amazing.
  19. little wilson
    Heh. Yep. I had no intention of getting as involved as I did, but then you just had to go around saying "Let's all vote for a No Lynch." Sigh. I was amused though, after I'd died when you started noticing the inconsistencies and being like "Why am I trusting Wilson's word!? Someone SCAN HER NOW."
  20. little wilson
    I can get the "anyone who doesn't want to be attacked" bit, so long as they're only staying boring for a cycle. It's the people who've been boring for most of the game that are creating problems. So yeah, we should probably get a rule amendment up about only being boring for a single cycle in a row and if you go longer, you lose a life.

    LG18 would be worse than LG33, since the LG33 spreadsheet was much more automated than LG18's. But really, those two should just share. The only other complicated game I can really think of would be LG12.
  22. little wilson
    Wilson will not be boring.

    Pet peeve: Adult roommates who don't practice very basic prevention techniques for maintenance - who don't even understand the logic for these prevention techniques. And this isn't 18-22 year old adults. This is 25-30 year old adults. People who should know by now, because they've been living away from their parents for at least 3 years, if not closer to 10+. Some examples: Keeping the thermostat high enough in the winter months (when temps drop below freezing) to prevent the pipes from freezing For girls: catching your long hair before it goes down the drain to prevent drain clogs (or at least slow them down) If you don't do this, you should at least know how to snake a drain Leaving the fan in the bathroom on after hot showers so the bathroom gets properly ventilated and black mold doesn't form in the tub and sink The last one is what I'm having to deal with right now. I've had to deal with the other ones in the last 1-2 years. My current roommate takes showers every morning and shuts the fan off when she leaves the bathroom. We're in the basement. The fan is the only source of ventilation for that bathroom. If it's still muggy (which it always is because her showers are hot), that creates the perfect conditions for mold and mildew to form. That's just logic. She's lived here for about a month, and she doesn't understand why black mold is forming in the tub (and spreading around the tub, and starting to form in the sink now too). I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm contributing to it, because she really wants to assign cleaning assignments in the apartment, and the rest of us are like "Dude, we're not in college anymore. We don't want clean checks. We're adults. Let's just clean up after ourselves." I have no idea how to broach that topic in a way that won't seem aggressive or condescending. I mean really. How do you tell a 28 year old woman that she needs to leave the fan on or mold will form because of the humidity? Shouldn't she already know this?

    It's not taking away their conversion. It's limiting their conversion, because right now, it's unlimited, and with their faction powers, they'll be able to crush the WorldSmiths (who they know the entire member list of, thanks to Drake/Len) if they have an unlimited conversion. The Brotherhood doesn't need a kill. They have a pretty powerful faction ability that can stop most threats to their faction as it is, because they roleblock kill roles and get rid of any and all kill items their target possesses. And technically, they can kill - with the lynch. The Brotherhood is fairly OP right now, in comparison to their opposition. I'm not a fan of combining the WorldSmiths and Brotherhood into one faction and turning the game into a classic elimination game + a SK faction. Not only is that uber unbalanced (even if it's just the WorldSmiths + the Brotherhood, that's probably ~10 eliminators vs a ~3 person SK team vs ~16 villagers, which is just an elim rate of over 34%. The village would be screwed), but this game is supposed to be different, and trying new things. Turning into a classic game destroys that. And it's fun right now. Ish. It could be more fun, but it's not bad as it is. It could just be better.
  25. little wilson
    Yeah, I wouldn't call the Brotherhood a village faction, especially since the former factionless are now stereotypical villagers (note: they weren't SK-type roles before either, because they didn't have a kill. They had an SK win con without the SK power, which is the main thing that makes the SK a Serial Killer. The former factionless were more lone-wolf types). 10 is definitely too high for the Brotherhood. It basically makes it so they're confirmed to win. Right now, the WorldSmiths, their biggest enemy, knows their player list, and they know the WorldSmith player list. This means the two factions have a sort of Mutually-Assured-Destruction thing going on. If the Brotherhood starts targeting WorldSmiths, the WorldSmiths will start killing off the Brotherhood. If the Brotherhood have an unlimited conversion or a conversion that stops after they have 10 members, going by Lemon's guess of 4 Brotherhood members (which sounds about right to me), that puts 6 new Brotherhood members who the WorldSmiths have no idea about, but they know everything about the WorldSmiths. Yeah, the WorldSmiths will lose to that. And not just the WorldSmiths. The Stereotypical Villagers will too, since they need to kill all the factions. That's 4 + ~6 + ~3. So ~13 players that they need to kill. With around ~16 living villagers to do it. Before marriages and conversions potentially reduce that ~16 and increase that ~13. Giving the Brotherhood an additional 6 people on their team, that's ~19 players in factions versus ~10 "villagers," and 10 of those factioned players are on the same faction so.....basically the village is trying to off a team that's the exact same size as the village. Yeah, the village is gonna lose, even if the Brotherhood can't kill.
