Aww, now the queue is gone. Can I still kill them?

Feel free. Just don't forget about everyone else! I don't want anyone to miss out on being killed.

THERE'S ALREADY A CACTUS IN THIS GAME. Oh well, they're new so they get a pass for purposely creating confusion.

Haha, guess this is my opportunity to be Joe (not in the bush) since you're committed to killing those two first. 

I'll sign up!

Please don't sign up with another player's username. Signing up as Lopen or Wilson won't really make a difference since there's only one clear player in the game with that name, but signing up as someone else who's playing will make it confusing for me and other players when counting votes.

Can I join as Pestis? Just a slight warning that I never actually played SE properly, so I am a little confused. 

A few questions (maybe very straightforward, but I just wanna make sure. 

Do Plants know the identity of other Plants? I am asking this, because that would make Passion Rioters mostly useless for Plants (since as I understand Passion Rioters forces character to reveal their alignnement, no?)

What exactly do you mean by "Classical Mafia"? Also, does "doc" mean there is a character with a heal ability (sorry, I probably play too much ToS)? Or do you mean "doc" as in ".doc" text file for a faction?

Glad to have you, and welcome to your first game!

Plants do know the identity of their teammates, yes. And like Seonid said, the doc means that the Plants will have a Google doc to conspire in.

Classical mafia just means there is a village faction and a mafia faction, and that's it. 

@Seonid, I'll get you a link just as soon as I make the spec/dead doc.

How exactly does this work?Wait oh I see.

1. Does the entire thread find out? Cos rats can get loouudd.

2. Anything special happen if you target someone who doesn't take an action?

3. Can you target yourself? probably not but this;

would be fun.

1. Only the Rioter finds out.

2. Not that I know of...

3. You can't target yourself, sorry.

Signing up as Cactus.

Can a player choose to form multiple pairs? E.g. Darkness pairs with both Sami and Mac. If so, are the percentages rolled separately for each partner?

Can both paired effects occur if a player with a pair is attacked? Does the latter paired effect count as a benefit for purposes of fear specialization?

How long are cycles? Are the cycles divided into night and day turns? If so, do all actions excluding joy soothing take place at night?

Hmmm, I hadn't considered multiple pairings like that. I'm gonna say no, since that's really not how I was thinking about it.

Yes, both effects can occur if an attack hits a Paired player. I couldn't figure out a way to make that work with the fear specialization, so yeah, all it does is give the target a 50% chance of surviving an attack.

Cycles will be 24 hours long, and will not have night and day turns.

QF28

Breeze's Thieving Crew vs the Inquisitorial Plants
Everyone is a Soother or Rioter (This is public Knowledge)
Everyone’s role is in the form of their emotional specialization (This is known only to the Player)
Alignments are Classical Mafia. (Doc, night kill)
There is no minimum vote needed to lynch. Each vote has the chance to kill. How much of a chance depends on how many living players there are. If there are 10 players alive, and a player receives 2 votes, they have a 2 out of 10 chance of dying. The player with the most votes in a cycle has an extra 30% chance of dying. If there are multiple players with the most votes, all leading players receive an extra 30%.
If a player posts or PM's nothing for 2 Cycles, they're killed.
PM's are completely open, just make sure to include me in them.

Each Cycle, Players may send in an order to Pair up with another player for the following cycle. These player Pairs are publicly known. (Both players must send in the order)

If a Paired player is attacked, they have a 50% chance to survive the attack(this doesn't protect from the lynch).
Each separate action targeting a Paired player will have a 25% chance of affecting the other player as well(excluding the lynch).

Emotional Specializations:
If a Rioter and a Soother with the same specializations target the same player, their actions are canceled. Rioters and Soothers cannot target themselves.

Passion:
Soothers - Soothers who specialize in Passion can stop their target from taking an action.
Rioters - Rioters who specialize in Passion can make their targets rant about how the Ministry is amazing, if they are a Plant, or rant about how their Emotion is better, it they are a Skaa.

Fear:
Soothers - Soothers who specialize in Fear can make their target confident enough for Two. Their targets gain all the benefits of Paired Players.
Rioters - Rioters who specialize in Fear can make a player paranoid, preventing them and their partner from having the benefits of Paired Players.

Anger:
Soothers - Soothers who specialize in Anger can make their target immune to all Rioting for that turn.
Rioters - Rioters who specialize in Anger can make their target attack their target, instead of taking their original action.

Joy:
Soothers - Soothers who specialize in Joy can cancel their target’s vote.
Rioters - Rioters who specialize in Joy can make their target immune to soothing for that turn.

Order of Actions:

1. Passion Soothers/Joy Rioters/Anger Soothers/Anger Rioters
2. Joy Soothers/Fear Soothers and Rioters
3. Lynch/Eliminator kill/

Is this still confusing? Hmm, I feel like there's problems in that OoA. I'll take another look at it tomorrow when it's not so late.

Any questions?

The game will start at 6pm CST on the 18th.

Question: What times will the GM's be the most available in general? Is there a set of times where we will likely not be able to contact the GMs?

I’ll mostly be available from around 7-8AM to 8-9PM US Eastern. Not sure about Lopen.

My schedule varies a lot, but generally I can check in here from around 3PM to 4AM US Eastern, so it looks like at least one of us will be available during most hours.

Looks like BR's vote got cancelled as well? Weird. That's a lot of different vote changes. If I read things right, it was 6 to 4 in favor of Arinian. 2 votes away from Arinian and 1 cancelled. That doesn't seem like something that a "couple" of eliminators could do...

It's an interesting claim, because I didn't even think of that possibility, but it seems like way too much of a coincidence. One of Arinian, manukos, or ShaneysRus has to be the Coinshot, and ShaneysRus has been fairly inactive. Next, we know that Arinian sent in a kill action on phattemer the Night he's attacked by a Coinshot. Arinian hasn't told us what exactly his role is either, or what else he's been doing with it. He voted on Megasif instead of Asterion as well, which is a point against him.

I'm sorry, but I'm not a scanner. My metal can be used in such a way (kinda, with low success chances), but I've only used it hat way twice, once N2, in which I targeted about half the players, and learned that Lopen was some kind of Misting, and once N4, at the ball. The other days I've been using it defensively. I've told Doc that I've done this.

@Doc12, care to explain what happened here?

Edit: As for why I wasn't looking for the coinshot? As I said, I have trouble doing precise targeting and don't have a high chance of success. The reason I attended the ball was because that actually helped me by giving me a more focused group of targets to affect.

...Well, Doc was unclear about all of that. I specifically asked him if you'd scanned Alv, but he didn't answer. Mostly he just said that your House found out I was a Misting because of a "scanner" and then I asked who the scanner was later on, and he told me it was you. I asked him if you'd scanned Alv, because he'd told the players at the Ball about the Atium misting being in H3, so I thought it was probably you, and I also asked when I was scanned, but he never responded to those particular questions(they were in the middle of 2 other lines of thought, to which he also didn't really respond directly). So I guess a lot of this was based on poor communication and assumptions on my part. Sorry about that.

Okay, that makes a lot more sense and lowers my suspicion of you a fair bit.

Edit: Might as well switch my vote now. Randuir, Arinian.

50 minutes ago, Ookla the Rae said:

The Houses got revealed this cycle and I thought there were multiple coinshots (3 attacks on Platt). There still might be more of them.

Basically, it was a House secret-ish/stuff we knew but couldn't do stuff about but the Houses got revealed this cycle.

Bah, it's late. Goodnight all. Hope this thing made sense.

Also, autocorrect sucks. Autoerrorcatching too.

Hm. I think I believe you. I want to think about things a little more, and if you could, could you tell us what your House said about Arinian when you found out, and who said what? That way, we might be able to ferret out your eliminator as well if they mentioned Arinian in a suspect way.

I will almost definitely change my vote to Arinian, and suggest everyone else does as well. Either Arinian, or if you don't trust Arraenae and her story doesn't get confirmed, then Randuir is my best guess. @Doc12, @manookla the ookla, @randuir, @Lemonelon, @Rebecca, @ShaneysRus, @A Budgie, @BrightnessRadiant, @livinglegend, @Ookla the Wofl. Whatever we do, we need to make sure to pile on the same player.

Edit: So, I looked back at Rebecca and Lemonelon's activity, and they've both been active fairly recently. They both voted on Shqueeves late last Day Turn, and Lemonelon posted once during the Night. Since then, neither have posted, but have been online. Which means I seriously doubt Rae would lie about something like that, since the chance that one of them would reveal her would be very high.

This means I suspect the final eliminators are Arinian(the Coinshot), randuir(the scanner), and one of Rebecca/Lemonelon. Leaning Lemonelon, but not by much. Hopefully everyone stays active enough to give us a chance!

48 minutes ago, Ookla the Rae said:

@TheMightyLopen, we might be able to. Can't you order them to do stuff yourself though?

Also, Shaneysrus isn't House 3. We had Megasif instead.

Lopen, I feel like Doc and Randuir can't both be elims, because otherwise Doc gains nothing from telling you Rand's role. He'd be risking you asking the question of how Randuir isn't dead yet, which doesn't help the elims at all unless they want to buss someone when two of them are already dead. It seems most plausible as Elim Rand/village Doc with suspicions.

N2, my House found that Arinian targeted Phatt with a kill order. Alv was the skaa kill that cycle, so Arinian had to be a coinshot. Based off of the way Arinian's been kind of silent, I think he's trying to slip under the radar. If Arinian has any cycles where his actions weren't accounted for and there was a kill, he's probably the elim coinshot. It doesn't look like the skaa in House 1 has been found either.

Okay, so I think that whoever sent in your House action must have done that. I can, but I was using my Iron to protect myself, and neither Straw or Bard was active. Budgie was at the Ball, and also inactive. At least in our doc.

Ah, okay. That makes more sense.

I agree at this point. Most of what made me suspicious of Doc was his hesitance to be suspicious of randuir, but his explanations for that are reasonable.

Can anyone else in your House confirm that Arinian sent a kill order on phattemer? @Rebecca @Lemonelon Not to be a skeptic, but you suddenly revealing this seems a little off to me. Haven't we been trying to find the coinshot for a while? Why did you wait until now to tell us? @Ookla the Rae

1 minute ago, Ookla the Rae said:

Thank you Lopen.

Here's my reads, off the top of my head:

Player list:

2. Dorvan Tekiel - Randuir: He's been activeish, but not as much as he seemed to be in other games. He also voted against the Asterion lynch. Slightly elim. At the ball last night, if anyone cares.
5. Selina Khrom - Lemonelon: Inactive?
7. Adela - Brightness Radiant: Far more inactive than I remember her being in other games. Maybe it's a sign that she's an elim? @TheMightyLopen, how busy is BR now?
11. Alizarin Kenandera - Sami: Inactive?
12. Manukos: Inactive? Not very helpful.
14. Darquez - ShaneysRus: Inactive? I'm going to feel very sad if the next person on this list is inactive too.
17. Cassandra Bane - Rebecca: ...and she'd inactive. Oh joy.
18. Rhiannon Aurette - Arraenae: Village, duh.  I know I haven't been the most active...I've been too engrossed in reading Worm fanfic lately. Oops.
19. Lady Noodlington - A Budgie: I remember that she voted on Asterion D1. She was at the ball last night. NAI, have to look at her more closely. The Asterion vote could have been a distancing tactic or evidence that she's not an elim.
20. Faron Elverein - Arinian: He's been RPing a bit. I don't remember that much contribution from him.
23. Jonas - LivingLegend: He put down the vote that tipped the lynch to Asterion. Probably a villager. It's a shame he's inactive.
24. Doc: He's plenty active when it comes to RPing, but I don't remember much discussion from him. It could be an elim tactic to make him seem alive while not contributing anything meaningful to the discussion.
25. Lopen: Probably a villager, considering his early Drake vote. Active too. Probably the most influential player discussion-wise this game.
27. Jerol - Young Bard: Inactive.

Is it possible that there were some active skaa last night, but they were sent to the ball and couldn't kill without bringing down a mountain of suspicion down on them, since there were only three people there total, and a death would put that down to two?

354 words, woo!

Were you at the Ball Rae?

BR has been crazy busy. First she had 2 of our nieces come over and spend the night, Sunday she was sick, and yesterday and today she's spent at one of my sister's house. I'm almost positive she's village. First reason - Striker was killed N1. I doubt she'd want to kill one of her friends so early. Makes the game less fun if you can't try to fool your close friends.  Second reason - her inactivity. I think part of the reason for her inactivity is that she didn't think her House had a chance after the beating they took in the first Cycle(lost half of their players). If she were an elim, it wouldn't make much difference to her, and she'd have free reign to do what she wanted with her House focus, pretty much.

At this point, since I reveal who is in my House below, each House knows who's in each House(except House 4, but since their fairly inactive and already revealed themselves, I think it's fair to reveal this stuff), so here it is to make things clearer.

House 1: Doc, Randuir, manukos, Arinian, Megasif, Bugsy, phattemer
House 2: Lopen, Budgie, Bard, Straw, Darkness, Shqueeves, Asterion
House 3: Arraenae, Rebecca, Lemonelon, Shaneysrus, Alvron, Roadwalker, Cloudjumper
House 4: BR, livinglegend, Sami, Striker, Steeldancer, Drake

Asterion and Drake were elims, hence the bold text. Anyways, Alv was in House 3, and he was a kill role. Houses 4 and 2 already caught Skaa in their Houses. Which means the Coinshot is very likely in House 2. Either that, or House 4, and that's very unlikely that there'd be 2 Skaa in House 4. Randuir was at the Ball, so unless he could use Steel to move away from the Ball and also kill 2 players, he's not the Coinshot(I have asked Drought about this possibility though). That leaves manukos, Doc, and Arinian. Doc and manukos have both claimed to me, but they're claims are both unproven. I've no idea what Arinian is or has claimed.

Regardless, I think we should lynch Randuir. I don't like revealing information given to me privately, but at this point I think I need to. Doc told me that Rand is a scanner, and he's scanned Alv and me. He scanned Alv I believe N1, and the elims killed him N2. I think he scanned me N2, and that's why I haven't been attacked. I'm a...forgot what the name is, but I've got Iron. If Rand is an eliminator and scanned me N2, it makes sense that they wouldn't even attempt to double-tap me, as I can use Iron to move myself away from all targeted actions. Add to that that Rand's House knows he's a scanner. The Coinshot has all but proven themselves to be an eliminator, so why is Rand still alive? If he was village, he'd be the biggest threat, since he could find the Coinshot. And if Rand can find the Coinshot, why go to the Ball last Night? He can't scan for them if he's at the Ball. It's not like he can claim he went for protection, because the Coinshot had already revealed themselves as an eliminator by killing Darkness(pretty much).

I'm also pretty suspicious of Doc, because of our PM conversation, and also his vote on Rebecca. If the eliminators are bold enough to go all out like they just did during the Night, we're pretty close to the end of the game. So voting on an inactive player seems suspicious to me. He's also focused on manukos as his top suspect for his House, and if Randuir is an eliminator like I suspect, it feels like he was trying to get me to look in the wrong places.

Argh, just remembered that Doc has been at the Ball most of the game, so he can't be the Coinshot. Crap, I need to rethink things. I guess I'll just leave all of this here though, since it's useful information.

Budgie was at the Ball, so she couldn't have killed Straw. The only other players who could have used our Hazekillers were me or Bard, and I used my action on myself. Bard has been inactive from the beginning of the game, so I highly doubt he would suddenly come back and use our House action without even popping in the doc. That leaves outside interference, which I'm still trying to figure out if it's possible.

House 3, do you think it's possible for your team to somehow take control of my Hazekillers?

Okay, so we've got two coinshots now, and no clear Skaa kill. 

@A Budgie, I'd still like to hear why you thought Asterion was suspicious in D1, given that he seemed to be doing the same thing you where.

Actually, it was a single Coinshot with multiple shots. I'm guessing someone's House focus is Metals and they got extra vials?

Anyways, as for the Hazekiller attack, that was my House, but it wasn't me. And seeing as the only 2 players left are Bard and Budgie, it pretty much has to have been Budgie who killed Straw(someone else in my House). Budgie, any reason for killing your teammate when we already killed a Skaa in our group?

Oh, and as for my action, I'm a misting and used my role.

Let's see...Asterion was lynched. The voters were me, Darkness, Megasif(self-preservation, since he was the other lynch target), Arraenae(last minute, possible elim vote?), and Legend. Darkness was then killed by the Coinshot, and there was no Skaa kill. Then last Day happened, and no one really did anything until we all piled on Shqueeves for his inactivity since there wasn't enough time for a real lynch.

The votes on Megasif were by Randuir, Arinian, manukos, and Asterion. The votes were tied at 3 until manukos votes on Megasif, and randuir said he was considering voting on Asterion to break the tie until manukos voted. At that point, it was 3 on Aster and 4 on Mega, but then Megasif moved his vote from Arinian to Aster for self preservation, Legend voted on Aster saying he was pretty sure Aster was an eliminator. Rae puts her vote on Aster close to cycle end saying other players reasoning was sound. This vote is interesting, since it didn't actually make much difference. It did protect against any vote manipulation I suppose, but we already killed one elim vote manipulator, so there likely isn't any more. That's not to say I'm not glad she put the vote down, since it lowers the risk, but I think I can see it coming from an eliminator.

Anyways, my current top suspects for Skaa are: Arinian, manukos, randuir, Arraenae, and Rebecca.

Obviously, I suspect Arinian, manukos, and randuir for their votes on Megasif instead of Asterion. I think only one of them is an eliminator though, since it's very rare to see more than 2 eliminators on a single lynch train. Arraenae, mostly for the vote on Aster at the end, as I'm a little paranoid of it. That, and she hasn't really been much of an impact in the lynch, even though she's fairly active. Rebecca, I'm not sure why I suspect her really. I guess I just have a bad tone read/gut read/there's just something off/any of the unclear reasons for being suspicious of someone.

2 hours ago, ShaneysRus said:

No, don't kill me! What happened to all the kill power that was being thrown around the other nights?

 

@TheMightyLopen was this the first time you went to the ball?

Hey, you're still around! Awesome.  Well Alv was killed, and he was the Atium killer.

I've never gone to the Ball actually.

Okay, well, Shqueeves was innocent. Not really surprising. That's usually how inactive last hour lynches go.  So anyways, people are probably thinking about going after Road now. Something that I don't think has been pointed out yet is that, if we're assuming the Coinshot is Skaa(which is pretty likely), that means Road is much more likely to be village. When the eliminators get extra attack power, the village usually has extra defense. That's just how things go. If a couple protection roles had already been killed and turned out to be village, maybe I'd think again about Road, since if there's too much protection, that might hint that the elims also got a protect role. However, no protection roles have died yet, so I'm very much inclined to believe that Road is village.

Moving on, we need to do something about the Coinshot. If you are a villager Mr. or Mrs. Coinshot, please kill Bard or Shaneysrus, as they are completely inactive. Unless they post because of these mentions: @ShaneysRus, @Ookla the Inquisitive. One of you might die if you don't post something right now!

Next up, the 2 Houses that haven't caught their Skaa yet need to do some internal investigating. I wouldn't suggest it for right now, but roleclaiming to each other would probably be a good idea during this next Day, to force the eliminators to have some accountability with their actions(of course, they can lie, but I imagine there's still 1 or 2 scanners around that should scare them into being honest ).

I want to do a list of my suspicions/trusts before the Night is over, in case I'm killed, but that can wait for another post(I want that favor ).

Oh, right, one more thing. I was thinking that it was possible that one of the eliminators was at the Ball last Cycle and that's why there was no Skaa kill. The players at the Ball last Cycle were BR, Doc, and Budgie. Now, I'm not all that suspicious of those 3, so I was also thinking that it might be possible that the elim kill was on one of them. I think this is less likely, since the elims would probably know who was there, but it's a possibility. GM's, if a kill was submitted on a player at the Ball, would it show up in the write-up somehow?

I'll go ahead and jump on the bandwagon in case Shqueeves in an eliminator. I guess if Shqueeves turns out to be a villager, another look at Road might not be a bad idea. But in this case, with activity the way it is, I'm not sure how much it'd change my opinion of him, since there's probably only a couple Skaa left, and it's gonna be difficult to catch them if everyone is this quiet(myself included, sorry about that).

One thought I had about the (likely Skaa)Coinshot is that they're probably in whatever House that isn't Alv's or BR's. Alv was an Atium misting, so giving them a Coinshot would be unbalanced. And BR's House is probably elim-free. So the other 2 Houses should be able to look at who's active in their House and narrow it down to a couple players.

59 minutes ago, Ookla the Rae said:

I think probably was elim kill, because DA was obviously not an elim with his Asterion vote last cycle. There's a chance that it was a House war kill or inactivity mercy kill, but that seems less likely.

Are you saying you think the kill was the eliminator kill and not from a Coinshot, or that you agree that the Coinshot is an eliminator?

A Coinshot kill, and no Skaa kill. Strange. It seems pretty obvious that the Coinshot is an eliminator after that kill, since Darkness was pretty clear. So, maybe the elim team is sort of inactive, and the Coinshot is the only really active player left?

14 hours ago, Megasif said:

That was rather excellent, if I do say so myself. Lopen and DA came through there.

If anyone has protection, I'd suggest you make good use of it tonight.

I'd want to lynch Arinian next. But elim/elim interactions would make Arinians voting on the same people as Asterion would be rather obvious for the elim team. They would definitely try to distance themselves. But at this point, it wouldn't be unexpected.

What are people's thoughts on Doc?

Yeah, although I was doubting myself a lot on that one. >>

On the subject of protection, it would be nice if people didn't kill everyone this Turn.

I'm wary of Arinian too, and think that at least 1 of Arinian and Randuir are eliminators. I want to review all of their posts so far to see what I think. Doc, I don't have a strong opinion on. He did put the 2nd vote on Darkness after Asterion had already voted on him, so like you said with elim/elim interactions, it would be a little strange to vote side by side like that. Unlike Arinian and Randuir though, I haven't seen anything else from him that made me suspicious. Of course, that could be because he hasn't posted game thoughts very much... I'd say I'm slightly leaning towards villager for him.

I'm considering switching my vote to Asterion, because of his quick, not very well reasoned votes/vote changes. This lynch on Megasif seems way too easy, and I don't like the voters very much. It doesn't seem like a time to bus a teammate, and I'm fairly suspicious of all 3 of Rand, Ast, and Arinian(I seriously doubt all 3 are elims, but I feel like there's a good chance at least 1 is). I'm pretty confident that Darkness and BR are village though, so, yeah, I'm gonna switch to Asterion. I probably wouldn't if the Cycle was ending right now, but we've still got 24 more hours.

Vote tally:

Megasif(3): randuir, Asterion, Arinian
Asterion(3): Darkness, BR, Lopen
Arinian(1): Megasif
Roadwalker(1): Arraenae

Ninja'd by Megasif. Not sure how good of a defense(defence?) this post is, but at least I changed my vote.

Like I already said, Darkness' confusion about which kill was which really seemed genuine to me. If you go back and look at the posts, I don't know, they just don't seem feigned to me at all. The only thing that made me think otherwise was the bit about Alvron, but I think his explanation clears that up fairly well.

Megasif's post...well, it doesn't really change my mind I guess? Road is a pretty easy village read(my opinion ), and it's not like it would take much to read the bits about Darkness in mine, Asterion, and Doc's posts. Feels a little like skirting around the subject to say he doesn't have a read because he's not following closely enough. Also doesn't go into his suspicion of Arinian to tell us why he wants to lynch him. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad for the post and vote, I just feel like it wouldn't have been too hard to do a little more. Maybe he's trying to slip under the radar with short posts, or maybe he's just busy. I don't know, which is why I say it doesn't change my opinion of him. Although, tbh, I feel like he'd have put a little more effort into the post if he was an eliminator. Maybe... >>
