Good game everyone, and well done eliminators! Thanks for a great game Drake!
Next time I ask for a mass role reveal you'll all know I'm village.

When Lopen puts himself in his village list.
@TheMightyLopen, I noticed something, in this post on Cycle 1, you said that you would probably vote for Elenion on Cycle 3. I can't tell if that is just scarily self aware, or part of a larger plan, but i would appreciate it if you could talk about why you didn't vote on Elenion until Cycle 3.
I include myself because otherwise I think I'm missing someone(like, I only have 12 players in my reads list when there's 13 alive, and it sometimes confuses me
).
Wow, yeah, I had forgotten I'd said that, but the thing with Elenion is that I tend to be suspicious of him. Not sure what it is that makes me suspicious of him all of the time, but since I've realized I tend to do that, I try to give him more time to prove himself village before I lynch him than other suspicions I have. So, nothing he'd said up to the point where I voted on him made me think he was village, whereas a couple things he'd said had made me suspicious.

@Bort--er, what exactly are you referring to? I didn't post a defense of myself yesterday; I hadn't even been voted on yesterday the time I posted.
The last-minute vote shift seems rather disconcerting, as does the fact that there's no kill. It says in the rules that there's a "factional killing power". @Drake Marshall, is the factional killing power just one kill every turn, or is it like an Arsonist-type thing and you're messing with us?
This isn't a static vote but Lopen I'd like to hear more of your reasoning as to why you voted Len all of a sudden at the end other than just "the others seem less suspicious". It smells to me like the elims could have wanted a last-minute vote swing to save someone. If I missed an analysis post in the past just direct me to it; I've been regrettably short on time this game.
I thought Arinian was village and was the only one up for the lynch. I'd had mixed feelings about Elenion throughout the game, so when the chance came I decided to try and lynch a player I was unsure about rather than let a player I thought was village die for sure. Looking back it probably wasn't a good idea, and I now remember why I try not to vote within the last half hour of a Cycle. >>
For what it's worth, I don't think I'd have tried to save Mac or Arinian if they were my evil teammate at that point, since I think most people had stated fairly positive reads on me and last minute vote changes are always scrutinized if the player lynched turns up village.

What about the possibility of a single eliminator, with all of the powers? If they can only use one power per turn, then it makes sense that there are no kills so far - they are trying to find their targets. No idea if this would work or not, but it's a thought.
Shqueeves just PM'd me this Cycle and told me he's heard of a role like this actually. He said that it's a role similar to the Worldhopper in the AG.
2 hours ago, Arinian said:Roles in this game too weak so I doubt that we have 1 elim. Even if elims have all roles less then 3 of them would be too weak.
Well, Joe looks honest. But I still watching you
.
Hmm... then I even don't know on whom should I vote. Too many players on whom I don't have any read. Probably I gonna do not best decision again but I will vote for Lopen.
I agree that there's probably more than 1 eliminator at this point. Probably 3 or 4. Maybe they all have roles though? Since Awakener and Sentry both seem much more helpful for the village, maybe Drake gave them more roles than the village to help them blend in.

Ecthelion III
Removing my vote from Ecthelion since I think I've found a better suspect - Lopen.
I had a fairly bland PM conversation in cycle one with him where he asked me about strategy ideas. I didn't have any, and still really don't, and he said he didn't either, and that was the end of it. Not much to go on, I know, but we haven't maintained contact since then, so I wonder if he was just sounding me out for how I might approach this.
A bit more compelling is his voting, and this implicates Mac too, but I've not really looked at him much. Not yet. In the first cycle, he puts a poke vote on Mac. It's the first cycle, it's reasonable to assume that we would end up with quite a few candidates with only one or two votes, and we did. Perfect time to poke a fellow eliminator without expecting it to cause too much trouble, or get yourself in good with the villagers if the random roll to see who dies goes badly for the eliminators. Cycle one, Mac poke votes Randuir, who I have no suspicions about one way or the other.
Cycle two, Mac isn't in trouble this cycle. I've not checked to see if anyone had voted for Mac but retracted, but Lopen puts his vote on Devotary, until Mac comes along and seals Straw's fate.
Cycle 3 is interesting though. Mac is in trouble again, and predictably votes to push someone else into the danger zone. Lopen also votes to put someone else into the danger zone. Voting for the same person as Mac would be a bit obvious, but by pushing up a third person into the death vote, he improves Mac's chances of survival, so it is only 1/3 chance of death instead of 50%.
Finally, the icing on the cake, and something quite cheeky that I could see Lopen doing for a laugh, asking for a mass role reveal after someone else had said how suspicious it would be. Instantly dismissable as either 'I didn't read that part' or 'What, you thought I was being serious?' and a good chance to build up rapport with the villagers and deflect suspicions.
Anyways, there you go. I'm off to bed shortly though, so I'll read any replies in the morning/next cycle.
Yeah, some of my PM's have really died off. I was planning on trying to keep active PM's with every player, but with the low amount of roles in the game it makes it hard to have discussion about any types of strategy beyond just saying "watch for suspicious activity" or something.
I have said I thought Mac was village a couple times, so I think it's understandable that I'd try to go for someone else in the lynch. And also, if you remember, I didn't even realize Mac was up for the lynch when I voted on Elenion. Someone(Devotary I think) pointed out that my vote tally was wrong and that it was a 3-way tie. Of course, you could think that was me trying to put on an act or something, but I always try to keep my vote tallies correct, otherwise people might draw inaccurate conclusions about someone I'm trying to protect by leaving a vote off of them or something like that.
I'll admit that asking for a role reveal was mostly for a laugh, but I seriously think it would be interesting to do.
I also don't have any good suspicions, so I thought I'd do something bolder to see if I could get some reactions I could analyze. (I'm a Soldier, btw. Considering I asked for role reveals, I thought I'd just go ahead and throw that out there.)
Vote tally:
Lopen(2): Arinian, Bort
Mac(1): Monster
Arinian(1): Joe
Monster(1): BR
Legend(1): LopenHere are my reads:
Village: Monster, Joe, Ripple, Coop, Mac, Shqueeves, Arinian, Lopen, Drought(probably wrong about at least one of these, my top suspect would probably be Arinian)
Neutral: Ecthelion, BR
Elim: Devotary, Bort, LegendI will help lynch any of the 5 players in my Neutral/Elim reads. I feel like Legend is buddying up to me a little, because he voted alongside me on Cycle 2 and also told me in our PM he thought I was either an excellent eliminator or a villager, and that he wanted to trust me, which seemed to me like a little too much trust too early. Bort, mostly because of his posts this Cycle. I'd had him as Neutral until now, but his lack of reaction to no kills seems questionable and I don't like people voting on me.
Devotary, still wary of.
Since I've already tried lynching Devotary and I don't like retaliatory votes very much, Legend.

That post reads very village to me. And thinking about it, I feel like the only reads I've had that I feel I can trust are village ones. So either the eliminators are playing very well, or there's trickery going on here. No kills for the first 3 Cycles is really odd. I don't think I've ever seen that before.
@Drake Marshall, are there any secret roles or rules in this game?
Maybe we need to re-kill the players we've lynched? Or recruit the dead somehow? I've made PM's with most players, and asked for roleclaims but haven't received an Awakener claim, and no one has come forward claiming to have an Awakener contact, unfortunately, so we haven't been able to get any feedback from the dead. Personally, I would suggest Monster as a contact, since he's my strongest village read(I PM'd him last cycle and told him as such too, so no need to worry I'm just pulling this out of thin air), and apparently he's Joe's strongest read as well.
Also...sorry Elenion(and Drake for making you change the write-up >>). I'm seriously at a loss for suspicions at the moment. I kinda want to ask for a mass roleclaim just to see if that might shed some light on things...is that suspicious?

With Joe’s vote, we have another day of perfect voter turnout! Hopefully you will have more time to talk next cycle.
We currently have a 3-3 tie that could easily be broken by the captain. I would rather not leave the lynch up to their sole discretion, although doing so might help reveal their alignment. I don’t really believe that Arinian is an eliminator. I have played a couple of games with him when he was a villager, and he seems to be acting similarly to those times.
One possibility as to why Coop trusts Mac is that Mac is the second captain, and that Coop had been warned ahead of time that his vote was going to be removed. If so, it seems unlikely that both Coop and Mac are eliminators, as Coop’s defense of Mac would be excessive if they were trying to keep an alliance secret. I shall test this theory by preserving the tie between now three players with Lopen’s vote. I will keep my vote on Joe.
Is my vote tally wrong? Because mine says only Arinian and Elenion have 3 votes.

Vote tally:
Arinian (3): Ripple, Shqueeves, Mac
Shqueeves (2): Drought, Brightness Radiant
Mac (2): Len, Monster
Drought (2): Arinian, Coop
BrightnessRadiant (1): Ecthelion III
Elenion (3): Bort, Joe, Lopen
Joe (1): Devotary
Bort(1): LegendStrange as it may sound, I'm leaning village for all 4 of Arinian, Shqueeves, Mac, and Drought. No idea about Elenion, but I do agree with Joe that it seems likely Mac has a role and that's why Coop is defending him. So...I guess it's better to lynch Elenion than a player I've got a village read on. Devotary.

Quick analysis (please note, this is my first full game so these prob aren't so good)
Shqueeves is an elim or a voteblocker I’m leaning more towards voteblock b/c an elim would want me dead via inactivity filter b/c he’s an elim
No elim kill is weird, village roles be careful
I feel like (just a gut read) Devo is village
BR why are you suspicious of me
Drought, that was honestly suspicious to me. We (or at least I) have a good number of reasons to trust Shqueeves as a village captain
Ripple, can you elaborate on your suspicion?@Elenion, are you still on mac?
Again, I agree w/ Arinian that my gut says Drought is suspicious at least
Good point Bort, but flimsy for a vote
Roid, Sal can vouch for mac pending some thingsShqueeves is not a Captain. Or at least, he's claiming he didn't remove your vote. He's told me in PM and he just admitted it in thread.

My laptop screen broke a few hours before rollover, so I wasn’t able to respond to votes 2 and 3.
In response to @livinglegend, I tend to be very cautious about role claiming in PMs because I can never be sure that someone is a villager unless they have been scanned or have lead a vote on an active eliminator.
To @TheMightyLopen and @MonsterMetroid, is there anything in particular you find suspicious of me? I have never been extremely active in thread, I think my four posts on C1 were a personal record high.
It's also partly your tone, in that everything you say seems measured. In my experience, eliminators are usually the ones who are extra careful with their wording, whereas villagers often just post their thoughts without thinking about what might or might not look suspicious. If you posted more of a stream of thought post or got involved in a back and forth where your responses were only a few minutes after the most recent posts, I'd have less reason to suspect you of calculating your posts so as not to draw suspicion.
7 hours ago, RippleGylf said:I have a huge CS project due today in addition to covering someone's closing shift tonight, so don't be overly surprised if this is the only post I make today. I'll probably get distracted into looking at this anyways, but if I don't show up again, you'll know why.
While I'm still not convinced of Mac's innocence, I'll admit I probably focused on one aspect of his post a bit too much last cycle. I'll vote on Shqueeves right now, mainly due to having some suspicion of him before in addition to the vote cancellation we got this cycle. Either Shqueeves is a captain or Shqueeves is an eliminator, and that's a stronger lead than anything else I have right now.
Votes (Please Copy and Paste this when you make a vote!):
Shqueeves(2): Drought, RippleGylf
Devotary(1):LopenI don't think that's entirely true. If Shqueeves isn't a captain, then the captain is probably an eliminator, but they could be trying to frame Shqueeves, so I don't think it's entirely fair to say he's either a captain or an eliminator.
5 hours ago, Arinian said:You also "not very leading voter" so we should lynch you?
Or you always can vote for me Lopen. Also you elim? Right?
9. TheMightyLopen as Vaati - I don't understand why people turned against Devotary, cause I strongly leaning village for Devotary. Well probably I'm wrong as always *shrug*.
11. Devotary of Spontaneity as Fahmexa - seems village to me.I've given my thoughts on pretty much every lynch candidate and tried to drive the lynch toward those I was more suspicious of, so I disagree. I've considered voting for you.

You're strongly leaning village for him? Why? He hasn't done anything I'd consider obviously village. Another reason why I'm voting on Devotary is that I suspect that most of the players we've been focusing on so far(Mac, Shqueeves, you, Monster) are village, so I'm trying to make sure we don't let anyone just stay in the background of discussion and quietly make their way through the entire game(or at least these early Cycles). I think most everyone has gotten some comments on them at this point, but they haven't been close to being lynched, which is when the best discussion happens about a player.

Ripple (1)- Bort
Elenion (1)- Ecthelion
Arinian (1)- Drought
Drought (1)- ArinianSo, Coop's vote was cancelled, and there was no eliminator kill once again. Not sure what to make of that, but I'm fine with no kills!
One thing I thought of as a possibility is that they have a Sentry or 2, so they're trying to find Awakeners/Sentries before they start making kills. That does get into IKYK territory a bit though, so I wouldn't use that as a sole reason for suspecting someone. Another thought is that none of them have really been in hot water so far, so they're confident enough to forego a couple kills to mess with us.
Coop's vote being cancelled: Either Shqueeves removed the vote, or else it was probably an eliminator. Only way I see it being a villager is if it was one of the Straw voters. Shqueeves voted on Straw 1 hour before rollover. I think I'm getting the impression that it was Shqueeves who cancelled the vote, because of him telling Coop it was okay for him to vote on him for survival last Cycle. Not something you'd usually see, unless he knew he could just cancel it.
Anyways, moving on, vote analysis of the Straw voters. We already know Shqueeves voted in self-defense, so no explanation needed. Mac's vote on Straw was also out of self-preservation, which doesn't help much. Elenion's vote on Straw was because he said he thought Straw's playstyle was more aggressive than normal. Monster PM'd me about this asking if I agreed, to which I responded that Straw's playstyle is fairly erratic, so I didn't think he'd done anything too out of character. So, slight suspicion of Elenion, but something else I said to Monster was that I don't think Len would say something in thread he didn't think he couldn't back up, so I'm not counting it as particularly suspicious. Out of the 4 votes, I think Joe's was the most suspicious, because it seems like a reach to have suspected Straw because of him putting a single vote on Randuir on Cycle 1. Just to be clear though, Shqueeves and Mac could be more suspicious than Joe, I'm just saying that their votes were NAI and his was slightly suspicious.

At the moment, I'd still like to put some more pressure on Devotary. Same reasons: he seems to be in that category of "active enough but not trying to be a leading voice" that elims are often in.

I'll clarify. I started off suspicious of Mac because I thought "Mac claims to use RNG, but what if he's just an elim looking to put a vote on Rand? We can't prove that he actually used an RNG." Now that he's given reasoning for why he wanted to use an RNG, that supports the case that he actually used one, so that drops my suspicion of him down a notch.
Ah, I see what you meant. Thanks.

Ripple(1): BortEveryone's voted, besides Monster(I've PM'd him though). Awesome. In that case, vote analysis.
Ecthelion voted because of busy-ness, which means it's NAI.
Arinian voted on Drought in retaliation because he doesn't understand why Drought is suspicious of him. < don't agree with reasoning here
Drought voted on Arinian because he didn't try to explain why he isn't an elim. < somewhat agree with suspicion
Bort voted on Ripple for calling out Mac for trying to avoid suspicion. < neutral read on this one. He's staying out of the main voting, but so am I...Hm, I think I'll do the rest next Cycle, since things will be clearer then(maybe
). Overall, my top 2 choices are Shqueeves and Devotary I think. Of course, Devotary is voting on Shqueeves, so I don't really feel like switching to him... :/

I'm not trying to say that I'm not suspicious, Using an RNG was suspicious. I freely admit that. I'm trying to explain my reasoning behind doing what I did and show you guys that in my mind it was the least suspicious route available.
No matter who I put my vote on, I would have been suspected for something. Placing a vote like that will give people suspicions. Placing it on someone without any votes or justification as my last post for the night would have been weird. Setting the outcome of the lynch by placing it on someone with 2 votes would have been ultra suspicious. Being the only person in the cycle who didn't vote on someone would have drawn suspicion like bee's to honey. I couldn't find justification in my mind for one remaining person over another so I used an RNG so I wouldn't feel guilty. Even if the person didn't die, that still would have been suspicious.
Using an RNG is not the least suspicious route available, in my opinion. If you go through the thread and you honestly don't have any suspicions, then I think it's okay for you to admit that and simply not vote, or at least place your vote on a player without any votes at that point. What I consider suspicious is when someone does something solely for the purpose of drawing attention away from themselves. In this case, laying out your thoughts like this makes me trust you a little more I think.
4 hours ago, Straw said:Interesting. If I end up dead, I’d recommend considering lynching Joe, Coop, or Mac. The two sudden votes for me could definitely be Joe and Coop trying to save Mac from being lynched. Also, @A Joe in the Bush, does that reasoning also apply to everyone who put the first vote on a player who turned out to be village? @Coop772 would you mind explaining to me why you’re suspicious of me?
This reads slightly village to me, because of the suggestion of looking at Joe, Coop, and Mac if he ends up dead.
9 minutes ago, Elenion said:Fear not, gents, if there's anything that I don't struggle with it's getting votes down.
(I'm known for moving my vote around and general aggressive play).
I don't want to vote on Mac because he's supplied reasoning for his vote. I don't want to vote on Shqueeves because his seemed like an apathy vote more than anything. I think I've detected a change in Straw's playstyle this cycle. He's been a lot more aggressive, challenging views on him when he usually stays silent.
That part about Mac seems a little ambiguous. Just because he's given reasoning he's off the hook? Do you agree with the reasoning? Because eliminators probably give reasoning for votes more often than villagers.
0 -
Umm, this may come off as suspicious, but I didn't even realize there was no eliminator kill. I guess I forgot that the kill was supposed to happen at the same time as the lynch, since this is a QF. So, yeah, I think the possibilities for why there was no kill have already been laid out, so I don't have anything to add.
Here is a vote tally:
Mac(3): Ripple, Straw, Shqueeves
Straw(2): Monster, Joe
Arinian(2): Drought, Mac
Shqueeves(1): Devotary
Drought(1): Arinian
Devotary(1): LopenI think I'm going to remove my vote from Shqueeves and place it on Devotary. Shqueeves saying he didn't particularly care who died actually struck me as village, although I can't say I like the attitude.

Anyways, I'm voting for Devotary because I feel like he's in that category of posting and being active but not drawing any attention that eliminators often fit into. (Also he totally ninja'd me with that list of who hasn't voted yet >>)

Seriously Rae, amazing job! You had me completely fooled.
This was a really great Anniversary Game, IMO. Huge thanks to Orlok and all those who helped with write-ups and everything. I had a lot of fun while I was alive, and things got really interesting at the end.
Great game eliminators! I feel like the village is slowly getting closer each year, so maybe next year the curse will finally be broken.

I got a pass! Sweet! Congratulations to the other winners as well!

That is unfortunate. I was going to move my vote somewhere else probably, but after I posted that last time a little more than an hour before rollover, I completely blanked until about 15 minutes past rollover. At least Rand can still help from the grave! Assuming we've got a village Awakener at least.
From what I can tell, both Monster and Joe look more village than eliminator from those last minute votes(if you believe Joe's explanation, which I think I do). Only way I see what they did as suspect is if Mac is an eliminator, which I kind of doubt(would draw too much attention to both Mac and whoever tried to save him, in this case one of Monster or Joe, and that would risk being outed if Mac was the unlucky victim of the lynch). That's my read of the situation at least.
Also, it's awesome that everyone voted!
Let's make sure to keep that going(or else you'll die
). In that line of thought, Shqueeves. You voted on me for my character name, and didn't get involved in voting after that, even once your vote on me got me tied for the lynch. Does that mean you wanted to actually lynch me?
0 -
I'm considering switching my vote back to Monster as well, mostly out of self preservation, but also because I think I suspect him a little more than Mac. Reason being votes on inactives probably draw more attention than a completely random vote, which makes it less ideal for Mac to do that as an eliminator. I'll hold off on switching just yet though, since a 4 way tie is interesting.

Livinglegend or Shqueeves probably. I agree that Straw gets lynched early too much, Len and Rand are posting a bunch and I have a mild village read from Droughts big post(although I do find it weird how he's not reading the rules, but that doesn't seem alignment indicative).

Let the Gods of Luck and Chance make the call.

I really would like to not die this early, but in this case, I'm not asking you to remove your vote from me, since it's an actual vote rather than a vote because I literally asked for it which is the only reason I asked him to remove it. Normally I'd explain my opinions more to get a player to remove a vote from me, as I'm doing now.
Now that you've voted, I'll remove my vote from you. I'm still slightly suspicious, given you didn't vote until prompted and your vote was a retaliation vote(an easy way out sorta), but I don't think it's worth lynching over. Monster
Because I don't agree with lynching an inactive, Mac. May switch over to Legend or one of the other 2 votes later though.

Long Game 44: Shadows of Elantris Redux

Posted
Hmmmm, well, I kinda didn't read the entire descriptions for each character, and my dude is pretty similar to Joe's, so I'll just erase my guy's memories.
Nigel was horrified at the news of the Patriarch's death. Nervously, he began to pace the Grand Hall.
"Why did I come to the Palace now of all times?" he mumbled to himself. He stopped abruptly as he realized he didn't have a clue why he was there. "I remember...I remember it had something to do with the Patriarch...but surely...surely it wasn't to murder him?" He glanced around the Hall at the others, and started to feel sick. He was either a murderer, or someone here was one. Maybe there was more than one! His hands started sweating as he...
Wait. More than one what? He struggled to remember what he'd just been so worried about, but couldn't seem to recall it. Well, I'm sure it wasn't anything too bad, otherwise I wouldn't have forgotten it! he thought to himself. He started wandering around, looking for something to eat.
Let's see, discussion stuff.
Well, I don't see any reason the converts shouldn't claim either.
Jeskeri pendants - I agree with Rand on this one. Just leave it to the owners discretion. I'd personally suggest waiting to use it for a few Cycles, then either target you're highest suspicion, or if you're not sure, target a player who's widely suspected, which will help discussion(if the player is village, it keeps us from wasting a Day of discussion about lynching them, and if they're evil then great!). The chance of you getting scanned also keeps going up the longer you hold on to it, so I'd say it's best used around Cycle 3 or 4.
I'm not sure what I think about the Shu-Dereth pendants. I think using them on a convert is the safer option, but it seems like a bit of a waste to kind of throw away a game mechanic(no ulterior motives here I swear
). Best usage I can see is waiting until a player you think is village gets converted and then using the pendant on them to help them to survive. If you use it on a player and then that player becomes a lynch target, it might be a good idea to alert people so a lynch isn't wasted(not sure this is a good idea though, since it defeats the purpose of having used it on said person a bit).
I guess that's it for now. Will likely vote tomorrow.
