....right. Still, the blood of Rubix will be just as powerful. Not that I have plans. Because I totally don't.

Oh right. I'm taking his blood. The blood of Chaos could be very powerful indeed.

To be fair, he suggested changing that rule. Sheep said it was a more interesting rule than he was giving it credit for.

Doing that would just create a nightmare-ish back and forth between everyone else and the WorldSmiths every turn.

I don't think it's possible for us to coordinate enough to block that rule from going into play. We'd have to make sure that 3 other rules have at least 5-6 votes on them to be safe, and even then we couldn't be certain because if one of the rules has two WS saying they'll vote on it, they're not going to do that, so that role will be shorted and the WS rule will succeed. I would be surprised if that rule isn't implemented, which is why I would suggest everyone who has an item uses it. It's either that or lose your item to the WS. Because with how big that faction is supposed to be (I'm pretty sure the rule was 1/3 of the players), we can't coordinate enough to beat that 3 times. If we had the first rule already implemented, yes. But not as things stand right now. Also, as for why he would suggest it: to make people think he's not. That's like asking why an eliminator in a normal game offers up ideas to help find eliminators. And I don't think he's trying to disguise his alignment with the factionless comment, by the way. It's in everyone's best interests right now to seem factionless, whether they are or aren't. Think about it: all of the factions are problematic to either other factions and/or the factionless. The factionless, though, aren't much of a threat because they have no one to really work with (that they won't have to turn on eventually to get their win con) and no practical way to achieve their win con, outside what they were lucky enough to start with. If someone indicates they're not factionless, that's a slip and they probably aren't.

Confirmed: Clanky is not, nor ever has been, factionless. If he were, he would know that the factionless have no kill abilities outside of items they may have started with (which are one-shot). The Odium role gives a single factionless a kill ability, making it that much easier for that factionless to attain the individual factionless win con. Between the WorldSmiths and the Agents of Chaos, I'd say he's a WorldSmith.

It's a QF though, which technically means 24 hours, as per the format rules.

Our little blood-stained corner of the Cosmere confuses our dear overlord. It's unfortunate....

I'm pretty sure there are a lot of scanning roles to make up for the lack of info on death, but Roadwalker's comment about being vanilla but potentially becoming something better later on makes me think there's some other mechanic that keeps you from your powers until....something....happens. I don't know. I still haven't gotten my PM. :/

Ooh, this is one of the things I know that actually pertains to this game! Roles and alignments are not revealed upon death.

We're meant to stop the killings, yes, but that's kind of similar to a normal game, where we're trying to stop the killings by killing the evil team trying to kill everyone else. There's certainly something going on with the deaths, and I'm not sure how much of a priority they are, but I do think they play a role in how we win. Wouldn't really be Sanderson Elimination if we didn't have any elimination.... And considering that the writeup explicitly mentions a lynch, because Rubix was lynched (I believe he is dead, though we can confirm that with fRR when she's back), I'd say that yes, we do have a lynch.

You're assuming Cupid is neutral. That's not necessarily the case. According to Hero, he wasn't told what his alignment was (and I'm inclined to believe him on that, since Mi'ch said she forgot to give out alignments), and if he doesn't know his alignment, he wouldn't know his win con either. Cupid could easily be village-aligned. Has been in past games.

I do. I know many things. Most of them are not going to be helpful in this game.

Yes, but not in a way that's ever been done before. Lynching the GM has been done and redone. She wouldn't rehash it.

Yes, deliberate murder of her husband who forced his way into the game saying "I'm playing and you can't stop me," in the first write-up of the game, using my character to do it. Not some random person. Me. Who knows him (and, I'll admit, I kind of liked the fact that she used me to kill him. It amuses me). I'm not really sure how much stock we can put in that death, considering how he signed up. I view it more as Mi'ch going "oh, really? I can't stop you? Take this. You're now dead."

I know the GM in real life. That's what I know.

I have not received a PM. Also, knowing fRR (and more importantly, her husband who she just killed), lynching the GM is probably a really, really bad idea, so I'll be voting to lynch Roadwalker.

Well, it was fun being boring, but I think I want to be interesting now. Wilson.

I bought a car today!

That's because it's a Coke product. If the restaurants go with Pepsi products, their root beer is fine. I grew up on A&W because my parents didn't like us having caffeine.

Some brands do, some brands don't. I know Barqs has caffeine but A&W and Mug both don't.

That's not exactly the right question, but I know what you mean. Caffeine helps calm them down. The medications all have stimulants in them, and caffeine is sort of a poor man's drug for attention disorders. If you don't have an attention disorder and caffeine doesn't do anything, odds are, your body has built up a tolerance to it and you need more for it to have an impact. One of my friends once drank half a Monster Energy drink in the middle of a long drive (1 can has 86mg of caffeine in it). When he got to his destination 2 hours later, at 2am, he couldn't sleep because of the caffeine in his system. He didn't fall asleep until around 5am. Compare this to me, where one night, I drank 3 cans of Live Wire Mountain Dew (54mg per can), and then took a 200 mg caffeine pill before driving 45 minutes home (the pill was meant to help me focus on the road since it was 2am and I was tired. It was not meant to wake me up, since we knew it wouldn't). Promptly fell asleep, no problem. Woke up 3 hours later with horrible cramps (not due to caffeine) and in my groggy state, thought "oh, cramps. I'll take Midol." I took two. Midol has caffeine in it, though I can't remember how much (I think it's around 70 mg per pill though). Up to this point, my body had given me no indication of how much caffeine was running through it. About 30 minutes after taking the Midol, I woke up again with an uncomfortable tingling in my veins and my eyes wigging out, unable to focus. I'd overdosed hardcore and had to deal with the effects of a caffeine overdose combined with terrible cramps the rest of the day. Worst day of my life. But the caffeine wasn't what keep me awake. The overdose effects and the cramps were. My friend: ~43mg of caffeine. Me (before the Midol): ~362 mg of caffeine He couldn't sleep. I could. If you can ingest 300+mg of caffeine and it does virtually nothing to you (as in, you can still sleep just fine), yeah, there's definitely something going on in your brain. Because that should not be a thing.

I rarely drink pop/soda/carbonated beverages at all anymore. But generally the reason behind caffeine not being a stimulant to some people is due to some kind of attention disorder. I have ADD, and just about everyone I've talked to who caffeine doesn't work on like normal have either ADD and/or ADHD. Caffeine should wake people up. If it doesn't, there's something going on.

One of my biggest pet peeves: people who think they know me better than I do, even after I tell them they're dead wrong. My roommates back in college/uni insisted I was addicted to caffeine (particularly Mountain Dew), and when I told them I wasn't but simply liked the flavor, they said I was in denial. No matter what I said after that, it convinced them they were right. But they weren't. I have never been nor ever will be addicted to caffeine in any form. Most people gain an addiction to it because they overly rely on its stimulant effects. It doesn't keep me awake, though. I once took a 200mg pill and fell asleep 45 minutes later (though I OD'd later that day and it was massively uncomfortable). The best it does is help me focus, but I don't need to rely on caffeine for that. Therefore, I will never become addicted to it. I'm a very self-aware person, and I'm constantly trying to learn more about myself and my motives. I have this burning desire to be psycho-analyzed, because even it uncovers some uncomfortable truths, they're still truths. I've learned something more and I can use that knowledge to change and adapt. To fix it. I consider almost everything people say about me - not because I care what everyone thinks, but because that insight from others can tell me about myself. If it's wrong and I know it, I'll say so. If it's possibly right, even it's uncomfortable, I'll think about it further and potentially discuss it with others I'm close to to figure out if it really might be right. There are few things that irritate me more than people who insist on spreading untruths about my character (I'm not talking about malicious rumors; those are something else) because they give me less opportunities to learn what's right since people think what's wrong is right.

Temperance Owen's parents hoped she would exemplify her name as she got older. Then they died. Perhaps their death is the reason she's decidedly not temperate, or maybe she was always going to be this way and it's a good thing they died, lest they be overcome with disappointment. Who knows?
