Lord Pifferdoo

Baron Von Piffertiff stood in shock. "Lord Ruler, that escalated quickly." he muttered to himself. The situation in town was getting more stressful every day, and fights like these were becoming more and more frequent. The Baron noticed someone in town square looking towards the window the Baron was standing behind. He then realized that he may or may not look slightly creepy just standing there, doing nothing. He raised one hand in a wave. When the villager didn't stop looking, the Baron raised his other hand, in what hopefully looked like a "don't mind me, just looking at people" kind of gesture. In reality, the villager thought the Baron had just given him malicious jazz hands. --- Hello, I'll try to post a bit more, after reading Ren's post. I'll add more game stuff and less RP stuff. I think our number 1 priority should be figuring out who was Soothed/Rioted and who we think did the allomancy. Here's the final voting before the night ended: (3) Eoladdin- Peng, Aralis, Wyra (3) Wyra- Wilson, Ashette, Maill (2) Lord Ostrich- Eoladdin, Herwnybe (2) Peng- Jain, Lord Ostrich (1) Ament- Melend (1) Larry- Senn (1) Maill- Rent (1) Jain- Clancy (10)No Votes- Joe, Dom, Cleo, Newan, Herwynbe, Ament, Damon, Odustren, Riew, Larry And here's the vote count once Night 3 started: (3) Wyra- Wilson, Ashette, Maill (2) Eoladdin- Peng, Wyra (2) Peng- Jain, Lord Ostrich (2) Lord Ostrich- Eoladdin, Herwynbe (1) Ament- Melend (1) Larry- Senn (1) Maill- Rent (1) Jain- Clancy (11) No Votes- Joe, Dom, Cleo, Newan, Ament, Damon, Odustren, Riew, Larry, Reeco, Aralis, Baron Von Piffertiff [lovingly copy-pasted, btw] Aralis's vote was removed from Eol and into the no-vote pile. Since no other votes were changed, then we can assume that he was Soothed rather than him Rioting someone. (When people Riot, their vote goes to the No Vote pile, correct?) Either someone wanted Wyrm dead or someone wanted Eol alive. Based on that, we should be suspicious of Wilson, because he not only voted for Wyrm, but also has been very active in protecting Eol. Any other suspects would be appreciated. It is also interesting to note that Aralis states that he is in contact with someone who claims to have Soothed Wilson. Assuming this is true, then I theorized a few possibilities: Either Aralis Rioted Wilson after Person X Soothed him (seems too complicated, plus nothing would really be gained from that) Somebody was expecting something like this and Rioted Wilson into his original spot (but I don't know if that's a thing to do) Wilson is a Smoker (which may or may not make him a target, as Seekers can't determine their alignment) Again, this is based on Aralis both telling the truth and Person X getting their Soothing orders in. Aralis, has Person X said anything about this? Big post, compensating for all the others. If I missed anything, feel free to edit, snip, snap, berate, dismiss, or downright sneer at. With words, although picture messages aren't frowned upon. Oh, and if anyone wants to join the Baron for tea, his doors are open to people who ask. Well, ask and the Baron says 'yes' to. You can't be too inviting these days.

Hmm, that is an interesting theory. Aralis, what do you say to this?

I always saw Pushing and Pulling as more of an inelastic collision. When Vin Pushes on a coin, it isn't like throwing the coin, and having no contact with it after it leaves her hand. She continues to push on it, and when the coin hits something, say a wall, the coin and the wall stay 'stuck' together while Vin goes flying. I'm kinda picturing Vin and the coin as one object, rather than two, up until the actual collision. If the coin hits something that will move, it is propelled by the coin, not just the momentum of the coin. I'm in the middle of class and therefore have nothing to back me up right now, but I just wanted to throw the idea out there. NOTE: this was written by Lord Pifferdoo's girlfriend, Lady Pifferdoo, who will have a profile eventually.

Downcast is an app I use for my iPhone 4S, thought it isn't available on android. However (one google search later), I found a site that gives some pretty good alternatives. http://alternativeto.net/software/downcast/?platform=android

Sorry for posting so late - just finished applying for a pretty big scholarship that may-or-may-not determine where I go to college. Anyways! I'm retracting my vote for Eol because I did a lot of sifting and logic-working and I pretty sure he's innocent now, however I'm still suspicious. I'm suspicious of everyone except myself and the dead people.

I saw something somewhere that said Miles "Hundred-lives" Dagouter put gold filaments in his arms.

Guess I should read the origin post a bit more carefully then, huh. I agree with Pestis here that being a Windrunner of the third ideal doesn't make this that fair of a fight. It also misses the point of the poll. This is supposed to be about the relative power of both of the weapons, no? So really, we should assume that the shardbearer is a non-radiant shardbearer, with proper training and whatnot. The lightsaber wielder would have the same amount of training (proportional, of course) but no force capabilities. Or, at the very least, enough force to counteract any mystical effects the Shardblade gives to it's bearer. (you don't need the force to use a lightsaber, right? Just your average joe schmoe lightsaber?)

I'm saying lightsaber because of how much more nimble lightsaber duelists tend to be. Also, shardblades are ginormous and unwieldy when the opponent gets in close. This stacks the odds more towards the lightsaber wielder because a lightsaber is still quiet the deadly weapon at close range. Now, I'm not saying a shardblade isn't a deadly weapon at close range, but it's gonna be hard to maneuver.

For various reasons, mostly ones involving reading other people's arguments and thinking You know, that makes sense. I'm going to (hesitantly) vote for Eol. However, if you can give me a really good reason not to, I may be convinced otherwise.

Dude! I love it!

Baron Von Piffertiff stood in the center of the street, observing a pair of guards lift away another body. Teys was giving him a general report on what he had found out, but the Baron wasn't listening anymore. One murder could be a strike of passion. However, with the koloss approaching and the saboteurs infiltrating the town, nothing was an accident anymore. Why, this morning the Baron had come across a baker claiming that the saboteurs had stolen all of his grain. Preposterous, although the Baron did instruct Teys to look out for any wheat and wheat by-products at the scene of any future murders. "Now, Baron, what's really interesting is this here multi-coloured response. These dyes are expensive, especially blue, and as a result I believe we can track down the killer! You see, blue dye can only come from-" "Captain Teys, the message-writer may not be the killer, and even if he or she was, they could have easily stolen that dye. Don't jump to conclusions. If you do, good people get hung for no good reason. And I don't want that happening again. Understand?" Captain Teys's had never seen the Baron act this way, and spluttered a "Yes, Baron." Most people only knew the Baron as a quiet man who hardly ever left his estate, and wrote books for a living. Some knew him as an aloof aristocrat, going through stewards and servants quicker than the ash could fall. Nobody knew him like this, serious and with such a look in his eye. That look that made men part crowds on their way to do something heroic. Or it could be the look of someone that is completely done. Baron Von Piffertiff did something that day that no-one in town had ever seen him do. He went to a tavern and ordered something so alcoholic that if you are under 21 and you simply read the name of it, you'll be arrested faster than you can scream "It's just reading? How is this possible? What is this, Fahrenheit 451?" Needless to say, the villagers were quite shocked.

Baron Phifferdishablishapplenisobsorbs? That's it, Eol's spiked.

Baron Von Piffertiff had been making revisions to his book when he heard the news that Satrams had been lynched. The Baron had sat in shock for a few moments, then wrote up a short note to Captain Teys, ordering him to remind the town of the very, very specific "No lynching unless absolutely necessary" clause to the town constitution. This town is devolving quickly into savages. I'd double the guard, if we had enough guardsmen to double them. The Baron had received many anonymous letters throughout the day, trying to convince him that so-and-so was a saboteur or what's-his-face was behind the murder. His steward had gently pushed most of those letters into the hearth, though not before they were read and then scowled at. "Now, where is my other robe? That mist-touched tailor better have finished it. The other one's covered in ash and smells like hard work, which I detest." The Baron declared, to no-one in particular. ----- Does anyone else suspect Soother/Rioter shenanigans? Also, any reports from Seekers?

Thank you, Ashiok. I shall return to quiet contemplation and RP writing.

Welcome, friend.

Would voting for Dom be a thing to do? Or should we wait for the spiked to murder him?

Metal fillings in teeth could be a good metalmind, though considering the technology for Mistborn a full on metal tooth may be more believable. Maybe metal insoles on your shoes, or metal-lined gloves? If I was a steward, I might turn the doorknob into a metalmind, though the actual thing being stored would be variable.

Baron Von Piffertiff sighed, rubbing his temples. Lord Senn Conrad, a minor nobleman from some Dominance that looked important on paper, was stirring up trouble again. "Please, Lord Conrad, my official title is 'Council-member' or Baron. And as for the question asking rules, they were established a couple months ago, in response to the sheer number of questions regarding the recent coup in Luthadel." The coup hadn't caused too many dramatic affects here in Tyrian Falls. Sure, skaa were made full citizens and the Baron had to worry about things like 'Worker's Rights" and "Fair Wages", but other than the occasional visit from a Luthadelian official, things were normal. "The question asker must raise his or her hand. They will receive a number, and that number will be dropped into a hat. This hat will then be jumbled around by the official, council-appointed hat-jumbler (currently that is Wilson, after a remarkable campaign) who will then hand that hat to the Captain of the Guard. The Captain will then inspect the hat for tampering, and then, once the hat is approved, give the hat to the official number-chooser, Herwynbe. The number chooser will be observed by at least three council-members, one from each major faction (skaa, merchant, noble), then will choose a single number from the hat. The person corresponding to that number will then have their question answered to the best of the council's ability." As Baron Von Piffertiff was explaining this, Danrak the Generic Courier ran up to his side and placed a small memo in his hands. The Baron glanced at it while the hat-jumbler and number-chooser were being escorted to the front of the room and the official hat-to-be-used-while-jumbling-numbers was being retrieved from it's guardian, Arment. "As for your other comment, Lord Conrad, I have just received a memo from Eoladdin stating that his ravings were in fact an experiment, a test of sorts, to find out the true intentions of the townspeople. He mentions 'ferrets' and 'learning experiences'. I have no idea what that really means, but since Eoladdin has not actually caused physical harm, we cannot detain him." Edit: Sorry Kasimir, didn't know, won't happen again

Two words: Metal underwear. In all seriousness, I'd probably wear a lot of metal bands woven together in a bracelet, and maybe a necklace or two, plus earrings. For copperminds and things that I don't use often, I'd have a coin or something in my pocket. If I didn't have pockets, then bracelets or something that wouldn't look valuable to a thief, like a cup.

If anyone wants to RP off of the mini scenario I set up earlier, that is totally fine with me.

Like he was going to be offline for a couple weeks so he took a gambit to try and expose people? Seems plausible. I wonder what Eol has to say for himself....

I received my message from Eol at 4:11 AM this morning. I'm going to refrain from voting at all until I get more of a feel on how this works. Edit: Central Time Zone

I don't know if Eoladdin is fishing for roles or trying to slip up people who don't know the roles as well. However, I will take this opportunity to remark how blunt the message was.
