Amanuensis

Snipexe, Araris and Karnatheon are my top three picks, personally. Just please for the love of the Lord Ruler do NOT scan me. Thanks <3

Gosh that's depressing. I really hope Jon wasn't the one who soothed that vote D2. EDIT: If there really is a Seeker out there, please contact me IMMEDIATELY. I don't care if you scanned me or not. This game is on a fast track to nowhere and we need to talk.

Araris says right after that list the italics are inactives and bold are people he won't vote for When did you find out that Snipe was a Soother? Because if he claimed to you after N2 it's more likely he's town, IMO.

I hesitate to call Lumgol inactive, but I don't necessarily consider him a lynch candidate right now. Same with Gancho, tbh. I'm actually considering voting for Snipexe and CadCom as well, but leaning Snipexe between the two. Reason why is because 3 people voted on ITIAH the first time: Gancho, CadCom and Furam. Now Furam is dead, after whether or not it was discussed that one of those three were converted after lynching ITIAH the first time. Personally if I was one of those three and had been converted, I would be paranoid about narrowing that list down even further, and would leave them alone. Hence why right now I'm leaning towards the three of them being clean. Snipexe, on the other hand, is interesting to me because of all that PM drama that happened between them. At that point in the game where ITIAH was already lynched and on the way to being lynched again, I think it'd be odd if some kind of distancing wasn't attempted. And when it came down to a lynch between the two of them, the polarized votes could have led to the other gaining some credit. So yeah. Snipexe. @Snipexe what's going on bud? EDIT: Also wouldn't mind lynching @Karnatheon since he's a big ? for me now as well. Plus Furam was suspicious of him, IIRC.

Whoops, yeah. I was trying to think from ITIAH's perspective (who should I convert?) and using past experience with players to narrow it down. Ah. In that case I may retract my vote from Jon. I don't want to lynch someone who can't defend themselves.

I'll go ahead and follow Araris' vote on Jondesu. I've gone over the last 6 or so games that ITIAH is played, and among the players still alive, the reoccurring names that stood out were Jondesu and Araris, ironically. They've been polarized a bit this game so far, meaning if one is evil the other is very likely not. After Araris' response to my previous attempt at voting for him I think I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, for now. @Jondesu, what's going on, bud? What're your thoughts on the game? (2) Jondesu: Araris Valerian, Amanuensis, EDIT: I meant that a Seeker confirmed he is village. This said, I can't remember who but someone pointed out that there was a missing vote the day before the no-kill night. So it's very likely they have a Soother who didn't realize they only got 1 action per cycle and instead ITIAH converted someone that night. On that note, I'm a bit suspicious you are said vote manipulator, Karn.

Hm. Furam seems like an odd kill. Why him and not Mailliw, a Seeker confirmed Villager?

5 hours later and no one has commented because of how little votes there were it's very hard to tell if eliminators even participated.

(2) Araris Valerian: Amanuensis, Jondesu, (1) Karnatheon: Furamirionind, So, I know everyone has been busy with the holidays. Can we get some more votes in, though? Today is the last day of the turn and it would really be a shame to waste a chance to gather data from today's lynch. @Araris Valerian, @Karnatheon, what do you guys think about the votes on you? Who would you rather us lynch today? @Mailliw73, @Rathmaskal, @Snipexe, @Cadmium Compounder, you guys have posted since people voted. What about your perspectives? @Gancho Libre, @Lumgol, @STINK, @Coop772, @Nohadon, are you all still alive? Same questions.

Just want to say again, good job everyone. Villagers and eliminators alike played very well. I wish I could have been more active in the beginning so people would have had a better chance of figuring out my alignment and killing me. For that, I'm sorry. Also thank you Fifth Scholar and Elandera for running this game! You two both deserve a round of applause.

(1) Araris Valerian: Amanuensis, (1) Karnatheon: Furamirionind, I was about to ping a ton of people to try to get them voting but then I realized this turn doesn't end for another 3 days??? Needless to say that was a surprise.

Amanuensis Gancho Libre Malliw73 Lumgol Snipexe STINK Cadmium Compounder Furamirionind Karnatheon Rathmaskal Coop772 Nohadon Jondesu Araris Valerian It's not a perfect list, but this is where I stand. I'm offering Gancho my trust because he voted for ITIAH twice and most importantly, didn't hedge at all when voting for him the second time. Mailliw I'm trusting because apparently as of last night it's been confirmed by a Seeker that they're a Smoker. I'm trusting Lumgol for now because of how hard ITIAH was going after them. Snipexe is green because he was similarly at odds with ITIAH. @STINK has been too inactive to be a valid conversion target tho I would be happy if he started getting involved soon. CadCom and Furam are orange because I want to take a closer look at them, since it makes sense they may have been converted the night after ITIAH was lynched the first time. I have the other 5 players in yellow because I have no opinions on them at all (can't remember a single post by each). I will be going over everything they've said and done in the past and be paying close attention to them going forward. Finally, I have Araris in red because I want to lynch him for reasons I mentioned last night. I know next to nothing about ITIAH as a player so I'm going to do some research into their past games, as well as thoroughly comb D1 and N1 of this game in order to attempt predicting who they may have converted. EDIT: (1) Araris Valerian: Amanuensis,

RIP Alv Can Tineyes publish these messages along with another action? EDIT: Nevermind, a quick glance at the rules answered my question. Also reinforces what Furam noticed about the votes and kills.

Of the three, I'm thinking Gancho is the most cleared. He didn't hedge at all with his vote on ITIAH. Just went straight for it. Your voting might have been the most interesting since you were going for Snip at first and then switched to ITIAH. At the time CadCom voted for Mailliw, too, ITIAH hadn't even received a vote yet, I dont think. Let me go back and see. EDIT: I went over the previous day again and the interactions between ITIAH and Alvron feel too genuine to be staged, and I also somewhat agree with his response to what I said about him knowing I was evil in the MR. For now I'm going to keep him as village. Mailliw feels a bit less trustworthy in retrospect, as well. It was D4 and he was still throwing his vote around on players without any real bite to them, and I was especially surprised to see myself on a list of people he wanted to lynch since I was "uncharacteristically quiet." Granted he had no idea it's because I was focusing on the game I was evil in, but it doesn't feel like a good enough reason to have me on the table at that point in the game. Very eliminator targeting low hanging fruit vibe. Also, Araris. Oh boy. Could be bad luck but twice he didn't vote for ITIAH (and as far as I can tell he barely commented on him). The main reason I pinged everyone who didn't yet vote was because I was hoping to force more elims to get involved. It also came within close proximity to ITIAH changing his vote to Snip, which makes me raise eyebrows either way. I think as of right now my top suspicions are Mailliw, Araris, and maybe one of Furam or CadCom

That's fair. Which brings into question that if Gancho or you were converted, would you vote for ITIAH again? Or if CadCom was converted would he avoid voting for ITIAH?

So looking at the lynch from D3, I think I'm willing to soft clear all 3 players who voted for ITIAH (Gancho, CadCom, and Furam). Considering CadCom was the second vote on a fellow elim in the MR his is a bit harder to read, but I think it was genuine. Comparatively ITIAH was barely under any suspicion and as the Seer ITIAH is a bit less expendable at the time (better for that atium to be used for conversion). The timing of Mailliw's vote on CadCom doesn't look so great, even if it ended up irrelevant. Considering he went for Snip last turn over ITIAH too... Araris doesn't look very good either, if not worse. Both times he was involved in a lynch that nearly saved ITIAH (although in his case, the timing wasn't as high pressure). Alvron is... hm. The fact that he voted for Jon at the last minute to make it a coin flip is very risky. The fact that he immediately calls for a Coinshot to hit him could be an attempt at reducing suspicion, as with his participation in ITIAH's second lynch. But either case is very Village!Alv, too, so I'm not sure its indicative of his alignment alone. It is also worth noting that ITIAH tried to get both Alv and Lumgol lynched. Hard to say if that was distancing. I will need to look over ITIAH's posts again. Anyone else have some ideas about the people who participated in these lunches?

Good job everyone (who's not evil). 12 votes out of 16 players is a good turn out. I suspect we'll be able to discern a teammate from this lynch. EDIT: Here's the voters of Itiah's last lynch, for comparisons sake

Oh nice! We anticipated that and chose you because we thought it would be fun if we could convince the village you were Aginor and lost your life to Rand.

I'm honestly very thankful I haven't been converted. Handling two games as an elim wouldn't be very fun. A part of the reason I'm wary of Alvron is because he is one of few players who knew I'm evil there and would likely advise the Seer to leave me be this game.

Sadly there was no Padan at all. It would have been fun to roleplay, though. I killed Mark and CadCom summoned another Creature- Ninja'd

There were only 3 of us, but I'm Hardy. CadCom is Aginor and Sart is a roleless Agent.

I did. It was mostly a joke (in retrospect that post seems more aggressive than I intended, so I'm honestly very sorry!) but yeah. My point is I followed Mail's vote for reasons completely unrelated to you and your reply felt like a telltale sign of a nervous eliminator. EDIT: (2) Mailliw: Jondesu, Cadmium Compounder, (6) Itiah: Gancho Libre, Alvron, Lumgol, Snipexe, Rathmaskal, Furamirionind, (1) Alvron: Itiah, (2) Snipexe: Mailliw, Amanuensis, @I think I am here. you may want to change your vote

Good game, villagers.

If you're not an eliminator then congratulations for writing the most blatantly evil statement in the history of villagers everywhere. I'm voting for Snipexe again.

Can someone fill me in on what Snip is lying about? Also what the general consensus on Furam is for this game.
