    Sorry for the slow responses. I've been driving for the past 7 hours I'm also very confused by the bolded statement, could you please explain? Sure. But again, to do that, both of us would need to be members of the court. And drawing a connection between two court members on one of the first posts in the cycle is a pretty terrible idea. I actually don't even know what role I have myself. I didn't read the comic, and just asked for a hint from Joe as to my role. So... That'll work out. Yeah. I hadn't played with Doc for a while, but from what I remembered, I thought he'd enjoy being the medium, and he was a pretty active player. If he hadn't wanted to be the medium, or had been inactive, I could have taken my vote off, but he seems pretty satisfied right now. And your complaint seems more tailored against Doc being a court member than me being one. I suggest you take it up with him. At the beginning, there are more villagers than elims. So if I vote on someone random, I'm more likely to hit a villager than an elim. Later on my decisions would be more influenced by other posts, so my choice wouldn't be random. So if I'm more likely to hit a villager than a elim when voting, I'd rather use that vote to appoint the medium than to kill someone. In short, if Araris feels like he has ample reason to lynch a likely villager early on, I feel justified in appointing a likely villager as medium early on.

    Koru, if you and I were both members of the court, why would I vote for you before you declared your intentions to apply for medium? Waiting would have given me a reason to vote, and allayed much of the suspicion that Araris has voiced. Voting before you spoke would draw a connection between us. As a member of the court, there would have been no reason for me to vote that early. I nominated you as medium because I thought you were the right person for the role. I also feel like I'm more likely to vote on a woodsperson early than I would once the court has had their say, and have tried to twist me into voting a court member as medium. True, you could still be a member of the court, but it's more likely that you're from the wood, because there are more of us.

    Hmm. A valid point. I could very well be trying to get the medium to choose me as a protector. As the first vote on the medium, I might be considered for the role. And if I'm not on your team, things might go poorly for you. So how about this: doc won't offer me the protector role, and I won't take it. I probably don't have the time anyways. How does that sound, @Doc12? I see no problem otherwise with giving power to someone with the time and desire to use it. I feel like an active medium could be very helpful for us. If you suspect that doc is the air elemental and messaged me asking for my support, I can tell you that he didn't. (And I really don't have any reason to lie here.) I think I've addressed your concerns by now? I feel like appointing a medium early on is a better choice than lynching someone early on would be. And since you seem to be ready to lynch, I'm ready to appoint. Speaking of which, Koru.

    The inspector looked around, noting the many features of the landscape. "This dirt," he said, "is very... Dirty. Take that as a complement. I have been to many forests, but this one has incredibly real dirt." He stamped his foot a few times. "So... Yup. And these trees are very looming. That must have taken a lot of effort. Could use some better lighting, though." He pulled a notepad out of his pocket, and checked off a few boxes. "Yes, this forest has it all! Trees, rocks, and dirt." He picked up a stone, then dropped it. "And gravity still works here, which is a plus. Yes, I would recommend this place over the court any day." --- Anyways, I have no idea what I'm doing, so I'd like to nominate Koru to be our medium. I'm sure he'll do a fine job.

    Looks like I'm gonna die, so let me post my final thoughts: Elith, Ecth, and Bard are probably good, even if Elith is a bit misguided. Orlok reads slightly village. Sami is possibly evil, but he's in the gray range. No idea about Jondesu, Sitnk, or Winter. Yitzi is full-on evil. Something about his activity combined with his attack against me and his reference to himself as an elim makes me incredibly suspicious of him. He also played with me as an elim so he should know my playstyle better than that. I'm also suspicious of Sart, so don't be too surprised if they show up in my death RP. I didn't post this earlier because I would rather die and have people take me seriously than have people switch to someone else and wonder about me from then on.
  6. Paranoid King
    I voted on stick? Whaa...? If you check my vote in the thread, I voted on Flash. I've stated several times that I thought Stick was innocent. And of course I switched to Sami. Flash was dead. I'm not supposed to keep voting on a dead person, am I? This doesn't make much sense from my perspective. Care to clarify? I'd check LG34, if I were you. My behavior there is way closer than my behavior this game. You can check here, here, and here for references. On that matter, I'm confused as to why you chose LG33 and LG35 over LG34. I mean, why skip the game where my actions this game are best represented? @Arinian Edit: Sorry, voted on you there at first. I'm calling you out on it instead.
  7. Paranoid King
    Really? You PM'd me last cycle, saying we should be buddies. I gave you what I thought was a helpful tip. Orlok's post seemed rephrased just slightly, so I thought he'd reworded something. I said he might be a vote manip. You, meanwhile, said you had nothing to give. This cycle you attacked Orlok because you thought he was a vote manip and vote manips are evil. Oddly enough, that didn't work. That done, you turned around and pinned the blame on me. Hope you're satisfied with that. I've been working a lot. You might not have noticed, but I joined this game to have fun with RP more than to strategize. I would tell you to lynch someone who'd give you more info from early votes, but then you'd lynch me in a later cycle, and like I said, I'm less worried about the strategy this game. Better to keep someone who plays for strategy than me. Anyways, I think Stick and Ecth are innocent. I think Sami is guilty. I think I'm really terrible at reading Flash. There's some info for you. Analyze it as you will.
  8. Paranoid King
    That was probably me. I noticed you had edited that post, and I thought it was different from when I read it before. All I said to Eleth was that you might be a vote manip, because it looked like you had edited that post. Not trying to get you lynched here.
  9. Paranoid King
    ...nothing, I guess? I'm actually getting a pretty village vibe from you.
  10. Paranoid King
    Well, you insisted. Spiff stood atop the hastily erected stage. His troops were looking somewhat down about not killing the people they wanted to kill. What a shame. But he knew what would cheer them up! *Ahem* "Now listen up people, millin' around here on the plains We don't have that much cohesion, because I got all the brains. So just listen to my commands, and you'll soon be going right, We'll have this problem ELIMINATED afore the end of night" (Lens flare) "You came here 'xpecting ease and a life that's filled with style, but now there's a brightness dead, so heap your problems on the pile. Take your spear, take your sword, bond your spren just like the rest It's time to take some action, to kick up the chasmfiend nest." "Cause we're gonna kill some badguys, yeah yeah yeah, They're gonna cry cry cry cry, waa waa waa. (I'll admit I hadn't really perfected this part yet, but I make up for it with my next verse.) We're gonna show them who the knights radiant really are!" (Guitar solo) In case you're wondering, it sounds something like NYEaaaaw! deedle deedle deedle deedle blurblleedeedleedeedeeYOW! "You've got a awesome captain to lead you to viictoryy! You've got a sword in hand and you all belong to mee! Before the time has come, you'll all know that Spiff's the best! Because I guess you had two people die, but I still get up and jest." (Sad trombone) "You know I got some haters who think they'd be better in command, But they really don't know how to give out an inane demand, So you'll see that with a captain that does everything wrong, You'll have so much much confidence you'll break out in song." "Cause we're gonna kill some badguys, yeah yeah yeah, They're gonna cry cry cry cry, waa waa waa. We're gonna hit them so hard that they will fly into a star We're gonna show them who the knights radiant really are!" "We're gonna shoooow them! Yeeeaaaaaeaeooooooooeooeoo! Who the knights radiant really are!" (Mike drop) Thank you, I'll be handing out autographs after the performance.

    Hmm. I had this great rap Spiff prepared to rally his troops, but it somehow doesn't seem appropriate now. Allright. give me a second to think about my vote. Hmm. Sami. Posted lack of suspicion about Ecthelion, but didn't do anything about it. As an eliminator, I've found it's a lot easier to claim someone's village than that they're an elim.
  12. Paranoid King
    That's true too. But on the off chance that an elim is voted on, the elims are teamed up. They can get together and say, "Actually this person is more suspicious, and here's why." The villagers don't care one way or the other who gets lynched, because they don't know anything about either of them. So most of the votes will go towards a villager, because more people are giving evidence to lynch that villager.
  13. Paranoid King
    I just looked at the player list and voted on the first person whose name I recognized. The reason I gave in-thread was because he was fast enough to do it without being spotted.
  14. Paranoid King
    Honestly, it's mostly because I've been at work all day and haven't been on 17th Shard yet. Secondly, if I make a habit of hopping from person to person, people won't take the D1 votes seriously. They'll just give a response and wait for me to move my vote. If I wait longer, the pressure mounts and I can see how people react. That being said, I'm sure Ecth is innocent. It's my policy that D1 bandwagons are almost always villagers, because elims have info and villagers don't. And if I had to guess between Flash and Stick, I'd probably stay on Flash. It's possible that the Ecth bandwagon was to divert attention away from him. Maybe not, but he's my best lynch candidate right now. (I could move to Stick, putting him at 3 to Ecth's 6, and I'll probably do that later this cycle if Flash doesn't work out.)
  15. Paranoid King
    Wilson's spreadsheet might be helpful.
  16. Paranoid King
    Hey, Spiff doesn't exist either. Don't act like you're the only one ignored by your soldiers.
  17. Paranoid King
    Narrowly avoid falling on his face? Spiff did no such thing! He took his fall like a man with the reaction time of a sloth. Which was on purpose. He needs to let his men know they could beat him in a fair fight. It gives them confidence. I would guess Hael is in the spectator doc, so they killed him because every GM wants a chance to kill Hael. You just have a shifty look in your eye. Like you did in that one game where you were also evil. See, I can do that too. Also, if I voted on the exact same people in every game I'm an eliminator, I'm make a really terrible elim. Uh huh. Sure. That's what you would say if you were a truthless and your little brother knew and logged on and outed you and then you tried to cover up for his mistake.
  18. Paranoid King
    I like my role. It makes sense for me RP-wise. Alignment-wise, I'm a villager, just like everyone else wink wink nudge nudge.
  19. Paranoid King
    Spiff waited a moment. No hands went up. That was fine with him. "I call it!" He was met with blank stares. Well, someone needed to step up, didn't they? And while he'd never technically held a command position before, he'd had an old squad leader who he could imitate. "Alright, you lazy bunch of meatbags, let's see if you can handle the stress of the navy. I want to see 50 pushups each!" Most of the people started complaining. A few wandered off to do their own thing. One or two actually started doing pushups. Nice. Better than he'd expected, at least. He ignored the protests and started yelling at his motley crew. "You call those pushups? I call them wimp-ups! Because it looks like you're just standing there! Hah! If you need me, I'll be in my tent, doing officer things." He stalked off, leaving a confused lot of people behind.
  20. Paranoid King
    Hem. Well, hrmm. Most unexpected. Guess we're going home early, guys! No? Well then. I'm pretty sure it was Flash, as he was quick enough to do the deed without anyone seeing. We shall avenge. Person. Brightness lady person. I don't know her name. And someone pick up that shardblade before it gets muddy or something!

    Rather short, with eyes that are half yellow and half blue. Brown hair, red uniform.

    Aww. I had half an hour of questions lined up and formatted nicely, then I undid a step and everything was undone. I'll try to sum them up here: Will the threads also be compiled into 2, for easy reading? (So at the end of the game, you will have a LG37 court and LG37 wood?) Do medium votes take a majority of players? (IE, if 11 people are in the court, 6 of them need to vote to change the medium? Or is it like the normal lynch, where the medium changes every turn someone votes?) I'm guessing there is an elim doc, but no faction doc, based on the witch's role. Is there a new elim doc every turn, to deal with people who go through the test? Do meetings take place over a full day/night cycle? PMs are only used during the night, and only initiated by special roles, right? Are anwyn themselves immune to achewater? If an anwyn passes another a glass, neither will be drunk? Or is that just flavor? Does the Rogat Orjak's -1 vote take an action, being optional? Does the test take an action? Does the protector's redirect relate to actions or votes? What determines activity for the telepath? The etheric scientist is just like the MEB, right? Except his ability only applies to roles, and can't affect the engineer? (So if the lynch tied, the MEB could determine who died, but the ES couldn't? Speaking of which, do ties kill a random or does neither die? If I'm reading this right, if the protector tried to do one action N1, N2, and N3 (total of 3,) he would die, but if he did 2 actions N1 and N3 (total of 4,) he would live? Or is is that if you do 3 actions within a space of 3 turns, you die? I think that's all my questions until the game starts. Thanks, Aonar!

    Ah. interesting. I wasn't seeing the power as targeting each specific person to get them into the nightmare dimension, I was looking at it as raising the random number of people drawn in up to [whatever the player count is.] Would you still be able to do that? It would probably be a lot safer to target individual people each cycle, but if you wanted no day votes and a huge amount of randomness, it might be the way to go.
  24. Paranoid King
    Ooh, this looks fun. Just a few rules questions... I'm not sure what this means. From my point of view, 60% chance means that players usually switch alignments, so villagers are likely to turn elim. Even if it's a 60% chance to stay the same alignment, 40% chance of changing is still pretty high. Edit: Ah. Got it. So if the Protector uses 2 actions N1 and 1 action N2, they die? Or can they say on N1 they used Action Action and on N2 they used Nothing Action, which would mean their 3 actions aren't consecutive? Or am I entirely misreading this? So, to clarify, the MEB knows who the Zeta is. He uses his power on the Zeta so that that 10% chance definitely occurs. He also makes it so that the random number of people is "everyone" Once inside the shadow dimension, he uses his random power to make it so that the random chance of his power working correctly in the nightmare dimension is 100% He also makes it so that the Zeta's nighmare dimension randomly kills only people of the other faction This is allowed, right? Right? I call dibs on the Making Everything Boring. Anyways, I'm signing up as the inspector, who refuses to give his real name, but insists on critiquing safety procedures as though he had a real degree. Which he does, it's just that nobody has ever seen it. Wears a fedora to go along with his labcoat, just in case he needs to look stylish at a moment's notice. (In the case that I don't read enough about the setting before the game start, I'm going to assume that the forest is Mirkwood, plus fairies, and the court is... engineer. ish. Like the research chambers in the steel inquisition if all the inquisitors were Santa's elves. Feel free to correct me on that, though.)

    Joining as Spiff, a space-roving explorer extraordinaire. I'm...not actually sure what he's doing here. I'm gonna say he crashed.
