    Yes, but not every single person is a village kill role. If only the eliminators use it, then anyone who learns who attacked them knows it's a traitor. Also, the village kill is the lynch. I don't think we should have random people trying to kill if they don't have good enough reasons to convince others.

    Thanks for that, Rae. I've got some time on my hands and wasn't sure what I was going to do.

    I'M GOING TO VOTE THIS CYCLE BECAUSE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO DO SO EARLY ON. BY THIS WE CAN DETECT VOTING PATTERNS AND FIND ELIMINATORS. WHILE WE SHOULD LYNCH SOMEONE, I'D PREFER IF WE HAD A REAL REASON INSTEAD OF JUST TO CAUSE DRAMA. SO I'LL VOTE FOR PARANOID KING, SINCE THAT VOTE SEEMED LIKE AN EXCUSE TO JUST LEAVE IT AND PARTICIPATE IN A LYNCH WITHOUT SAYING MUCH ABOUT IT. Oops, accidental caps. :/ Yes, I left it there. It amused me. We've still got a full day left in the cycle, so let's get more discussion going! Who else has commentary on my suggestions for powers? Or has some other ideas themself?

    Ok, here's the full breakdown on what happens to items. You search for items. You find items. You use items. If you die or are lynched, you lose your items. Whoever killed you or someone who voted for you gets them. You can pass items to someone at night who is in the same area as you, and it does not take an action. You can pass items during the day to anyone who has a vote on you at the end of the day. It does not take an action.

    Death to the infidel!

    I feel it's important to note something at the beginning of the game: we have no scanners. There is absolutely no way to clear anyone beyond the Companions, except, I suppose, if someone taps bronze on someone who is attacked by the traitors and survives in some fashion or another. This, however, is unlikely to happen and still includes the risk of a WGG. Therefore, we need to be discussing and lynching right away, starting C1. A no-lynch has almost no benefit to us, and shouldn't ever happen. I'll start some discussion with my ideas for the best uses of powers: Iron: Storing iron isn't as useful now that it does take an action. It is, however, the only useful storing ability. Tapping iron is probably only going to be done by the traitors. It could be useful to isolate suspicious people if we think there's only one or two traitors left, but that probably won't happen. Steel: The only use I can see for storing steel is if someone really needs to be untargetable. It's not worth the 40% chance of death, though. Tapping steel however, is extremely useful. Not only does it have the effects of storing iron, but also you can't be lynched unless it's with 3 votes. Pewter: Storing: only useful because it gives you a charge. Tapping: only useful to the traitors. I would strongly recommend against any vigilante Brutes. Tin: Storing: again, nothing here. Tapping, however: you're invulnerable to attacks. This could be very useful if you happen to learn who attacked you, if it was with pewter. Brass: Nothing here. Just tap it every third turn, unless you're feeling likely. Zinc: Storing: I'm obviously not! 50 words is a lot less than it sounds, but it could be worth it if you're not going to contribute much anyway. Tapping: You can get a second action next turn. Very cool. This probably goes best with steel, since you could store and then tap, and gain all the benefits without needing a charge beforehand, and- if you can pull it off- zinc itself. Bronze: Storing: not too bad a penalty for storing, but in this game we really need our votes, so be careful with it. Tapping: This is one of our only potentials for scanning, but it only tells you the actions on the player, not the IDs of who did them. Gold: Storing: I suggest that everyone store gold early on, since if you don't have a charge when you're injured you'll have to wait to recover. Tapping: Obviously, just do it if you're injured. Landslides: It's too bad we can't make group PMs, since that would be the best thing for landslides. However, we can just make a circle of PMs, i.e. A, B, C, D, and E are in a landslide. A makes a PM with B. B makes a PM with C. C makes a PM with D. D makes a PM with E. E makes a PM with A. Or two of them can make PMs with everyone. In either case, people would just pass along whatever was said, and it could be confirmed by the original sender once E, in the above example, sent it back to A. Falls: I think you should probably say if you were in a fall, just so people know you are roleblocked. GMs, would the traitor kill look like a pewter attack to bronze? Are you notified if you're tapping tin and were attacked? Are the Companions untargetable by actions or at least immune to kills? Is the 50% chance of freezing from lack of brass cumulative, or does it stay at 50%? If you tap 2 charges of zinc in a turn, do you get 3 or 4 actions the next turn? Is the 50% chance of recovering cumulative, or does it stay at 50%? For the traitors, does storing zinc apply to their doc When are you informed you were in a fall? Is it at the end of the first cycle for which you're roleblocked? If the companions are not immune, we should probably get their input now, since I assume they'll be killed the first 2 cycles.

    I'll take that as a vote, but so you know it's [*color=red]Target[/color*] without any asterisks.
  9. phattemer
    (Emphasis mine)I would totally do that as a villager.
  10. phattemer
    Yes.
  11. phattemer
    Thank yew, thank yew. No. Someone with multiple Allomantic abilities including aluminum who was attacked by Hazecrusher would automatically burn aluminum in that action period. This has the same effects as if they had decided to burn aluminum. No way will I answer that! ...if you wanted to, sure. You could designate someone in the same area to receive it, but they would also have to use an action to take it. They would then have a charged pair of spikes. PAFO. ...Fine. If anyone burns three beads of lerasium they ascend and become Preservation. The powers of preservation will only be revealed to that person. Yes. Except your original aPower. You'd be a double savant in that.
  12. phattemer
    Who said the Spiked have the Hazecrusher? :ph34r:
  13. phattemer
    I am offend! ...he literally just died.
  14. phattemer
    What on Scadrial made you think that?
  15. phattemer
    Yes. You must have misread.

    Hael died N1. I do!
  17. phattemer
    Fixed.

    The wielder had little chance of resisting Haelcrusher. They had more contact with him than any other of his would-be minions, and that put them completely under his domain. Yes, it would have taken a man of supreme will to resist Haelcrusher even slightly while bearing the hammer of aluminum. Edrab was alive. He hadn’t felt like this in ages! N1, to be precise A heartbeat! He had a heartbeat! Well, it wasn’t his per se, but he was controlling the body with it, so that was close enough. Speaking of… he glanced up, and checked for injuries. The spinal cord was still intact, no obvious perforations… Everything seemed to be in order. It was time. He strode into the room, swiping himself back and forth experimentally. He was no Discord, but he would do. Looking around, he spied his target, Cylkan. Of the lamplighters’ guild, was he not? Well, it was time for lights out. He swung himself in a mighty arc, smashing Cylkan’s left leg. His eyes shot open, and he immediately grabbed a vial of metal and gulped it down. Hael stepped back, watching carefully. If Cylkan was an aluminum Gnat, he could be in trouble. But then Cylkan jumped up, balancing with ease on his one remaining leg, and pulled out a pair of stone daggers. Pewter, then. Not a problem. Ignoring his opponent’s feeble attempt at defense, Edrab smashed himself into the best target he could see: Cylkan’s head. After all, if he couldn’t have his own head, why should this sap get his? The room was covered with things after Cylkan’s head quite literally exploded. Edrab was slightly taken aback. Who knew there was that much blood in just one little head? It actually could come in handy; maybe he could get his old spikes back without losing too much power. He dumped out a few metal vials, and began to bottle up the dark red liquid. Who to kill next? Perhaps he should just toss something into the air and go in the direction it landed. It was as good a method as any, anyway. He pulled a coin out of his mouth- of course he didn’t have any Pushable metal on his person, he wasn’t stupid- and flicked it into the air. It didn’t come down. Edrab waited. He was immortal now, after all. He had all the time on the world. It was quiet enough that he’d be able to hear a pin clip drop, but nothing. Finally, straining to listen for the sound of the *clink* in the darkness, he heard a *thud-OW* come from his right. It sounded like a six-inch rodent was surprised by the impending hoof of a giraffe, ran away, was shot at, and the bullet hit a steel spike, only to ricochet off and kill the shooter. Or maybe it was a coin hitting someone. Either way, he was definitely going in that direction. Edrab hurried down the street, carefully staying out of sight of any Spooky Tineyes. Finally, he reached the spot whence the yelp had come, underneath a streetlight. “Here, giraffe-y giraffe-y giraffe-y! Here, girl!” he shouted. Giraffe meat was expensive. He’d be able to make a killinghehehe on it. A silhouette appeared in the darkness outside the warm circle of light. Edrab perked up, before realizing that giraffes generally are taller than the average human. Wait, human?!? Suddenly, he remembered why he was here. Hiding himself behind his back, Edrab cautiously advanced. How did one sound tentative again? Ah, yes. “H-Hello? Is anyone there? Come out!” he said, suppressing a giggle. “It’s only me” the figure retorted, stepping forward out of the shadows. “Only me.” he said again, for it was a he: Siaron the Scorned. “Bastard!” Siaron looked tired, as if he was repeating himself for the fiftieth time. “Yes.” “Was that you who stole my coin?” Edrab asked, slowly moving closer. Only three more steps, and then he would strike. “Sorry. I can’t help it, you know. People shouldn’t have metal out.” Two more. “Ever since I started flaring it, I haven’t been able to stop myself from Lurching everything that comes my way.” One more. “Hey, what are you-” Edrab cut him off, pulling himself out from behind his back. “STOP. It’s HAMMER TIME,” he shouted gleefully, before bringing himself up over his head, and back down where Siaron should have been. Instead, there was just a person. “Hey, who are you? And where did Siaron go?” he demanded of them. “I, uh, I, I have to run. I don’t know where he went. Bye!” Edrab stopped for a moment. How had Siaron just disappeared like that? “Hey, wait!” the person turned around. “BOO!” For a split second, everything about the person screamed Siaron, the Twinborn bastard, and then it he was back to anonymity. “AHA,” Edrab shrieked, then tore after him like a duck out of water (i.e. awkward and terrifying). Siaron screamed and ran, but his pursuer had more momentum, and had closed enough that he could throw himself into Siaron’s back. The unlucky twinborn saw it coming, and tried to Lurch it out of the way, or at least change its direction, only to discover, to his great surprise, that the warhammer was made of pure aluminum. It would be Siaron’s second-to-last shock. Finding out whose body was possessed by Edrab’s malevolent spirit was the last one, and it didn’t help his wrecked body dodge the final hammer blow at all. He looked around for witnesses, but nobody was near him. Or so he thought. He continued, after a final glance around. And then stopped. Did light through yonder window break? Alexandra Rotec had never been one to stand idly by. This time, however, she’d been forced to watch as that monster smashed poor Siaron. All she’d wanted was a glass of water, but on her way downstairs she’d heard voices outside, and stopped at the window. By the light of the lamp, she’d seen the two people meet, and then one of them run, only to fall to the thrown hammer. She had to get out of here. Why had she even come to “Twinborn City”, as they arrogantly called it. She was Twinborn, but neither of her powers were that useful. She hated manipulating people, and as for Gasping? Heh. She was soooo happy that she could hold her breath. Sooooo important. She ran back upstairs and threw her things together; her extra metalminds, a sword, some clothes, food. Picking up the suitcase with one hand, she downed some brass with the other. It may not be that useful, but maybe it would help. Edrab approached the house confidently. He’d already annihilated two Twinborn, and had nothing to fear from a third. This was the Rotecs’ house, wasn’t it? He hadn’t known them very well before he’d left, but he thought their youngest had been a Soother. Definitely not a Gnat, anyway. He kicked in the door, only to reveal the very person he’d been thinking of. Alexandra! That was her name. She pulled a sword out from a bag she’d been holding. As if that would help. “Back! Get back! I saw what you did to Siaron.” Oh well. A third murder wouldn’t hurt anyone. Edrab advanced steadily, ignoring the warning. She held up the sword, and obviously knew how to use it. He raised his own weapon up, and fell into a fighting stance. Maybe this would be tricky. He tried a wild swing at first, just to test her skill, and was punished for it by a stab in the shoulder. Ouch. It seemed Alexandra was better than he’d assumed. All his previous confidence was gone. He knew he couldn’t beat this opponent. She was just so much more adept, and he could barely even handle himself as a hammer. Alexandra ran out of brass. The vial had been small, and flaring only accelerated the burn rate. Suddenly, Edrab was back to being cocksure. He could easily destroy anyone in this city, with himself as a weapon. He smashed the sword out of her hands, and slammed the hammer into her, knocking her down, where she began to search for something. Alexandra knew she had another vial somewhere! She’d put them in her bag, hadn’t she? But it was all the way across the room, behind this thing with a hammer. She cowered in the corner where she’d fallen, but began to believe she could survive. As long as she had enough brass… He raised the hammer for the final blow, and brought it down. The only witness was gone. Just to make sure she was really dead, since he was aware of some that wore hidden armor, he checked for breathing. None. Edrab walked out the door, satisfied. Alexandra stayed still for several seconds, barely daring to hope it had worked. She knew she was dying; she could barely move her arm. But she managed to crawl over to her bag, drink the brass, and flare it once more at the thing that had destroyed her life. Edrab began to feel tired, unconfident, scared… but this time he knew where it was coming from. How was she still alive? He spun, and ran for the house. She could alert everybody, given time. This was all going wrong! Seeing the approaching killer, Alexandra flared her brass farther than she’d ever done before. She’d always worried about becoming a savant accidentally, but that didn’t matter anymore. It wasn’t working. He was still coming. With the last of her time, she went even farther, burning hours worth of metal in the few short seconds before he would reach her. Something snapped. She was in two places at once, looking at the thing, and looking at her own broken body. And then, Alexandra Rotec died. The killer looked at their hands, covered in blood. It looked at the hammer, that had contained Edrab Leah. “Wha- what have I done?” Amanuensis was an Iron/Aluminum Twinborn! Elodin was a Brass/Cadmium Twinborn! Clanky was a Pewter/Bronze Twinborn with the Blessing of Potency! Haelbarde was a Disembodied Malevolent Spirit Possessing Hazecrusher! Day has begun.
