  1. For the record, I might not be playing. I just like the idea of only roleplaying this game as a Truthless, regardless of whatever role or alignment I actually get, and seeing how the GMs and players deal with it. Might end up spectating as well. I'll decide Thursday, probably.
  2. Truth is such a fickle word, always wrought by prejudice and sworn by arrogant, ignorant men. Who is right, and who is wrong? The Alethi, or the Parshendi? Who has the right to choose? Certainly not the Shamans of the Shin. Men are fools, Dalinar and Kenara no different than Eshu or Cabine. What of the Heralds? Hah! A better name for them would be the Hypocrites, and yet they're worshiped despite the lies they've left rippling in their wake. No, I'm no exception, but at least I am less foolish than the rest. What makes us different? Only that I've accepted we are the same. I am evil. I am unjust. I am the purest form of corruption. I am a saint of sin. "I am Human. I am Truthless. And I'm here to win."
  3. I would love to play, but my next championship game is in 6 days, so I'd need to die early, which hurts whatever faction I'm a part of.
  4. Wow sorry guys I kept telling myself I'd get on and post thoughts but I've been feeling kinda meh these past couple days so never got around to it. I doubt I'll live tonight since scavenging a third time means there's a 67% chance of me dying, but we'll see. Good luck if I don't see you on the other side.
  5. I think the Flash is probably good, due to how quickly he reacted to Yitzi's comment about eliminators being scared of me. It could have been a distancing attempt, but it felt reflexive to me, rather than preordained. Stick could go either way, but I think I have a better lead. I'll talk more about that later, though.
  6. I'm not surprised, but I am disappointed. I'll do a comb through of D1 because I'm pretty sure that with Straw being a villager, at least one eliminator wanted him lynched that day.
  7. Ah okay, so you've played ToS as well. I think I have just one more question. Why did you Seek the two players you did? (I know Stick was your second, but I need to be reminded who your first was)
  8. No worries butting in. I want to go to sleep, so I'm glad to have that answer sooner. Look forward to hearing back from you.
  9. I'll take this into consideration. Can you tell me why you decided to vote Rand and I before you considered Yitzi?
  10. (11) Straw: _Stick_, BrightnessRadiant, Drake Marshall, asterion137, StrikerEZ, The Flash, Dalinar Kholin, Paranoid King, Amanuensis, Elenion, Seonid, (6) STINK: Crimsn-Wolf, Ecthelion III, little wilson, Arinian, Straw, STINK, (1) A Joe in the Bush: OrlokTsubodai, (1) randuir: A Joe in the Bush, (6) None: Cloudjumper, Shqueeves, Araris Valerian, randuir, Elbereth, Arraenae, Pretty sure that's right.
  11. (10) Straw: _Stick_, BrightnessRadiant, Drake Marshall, asterion137, StrikerEZ, The Flash, Dalinar Kholin, Paranoid King, Amanuensis, Elenion, (7) STINK: A Joe in the Bush, Crimsn-Wolf, Ecthelion III, little wilson, Arinian, Straw, STINK, (1) A Joe in the Bush: OrlokTsubodai, (7) None: Cloudjumper, Shqueeves, Araris Valerian, randuir, Seonid, Elbereth, Arraenae, Joe wins if his Ward lives. It's possible for both the Parole Officer and Convict's Ward to win through cooperation.
  12. I might have mentioned this before, but Straw's voting for, well, basically everyone but a known eliminator for self-preservation implies that he really wants to live this game, and as far as I can tell, it's not because he wants to solve it, since he's not really trying to find eliminators (for example, when asked who his suspicions are, he only says STINK... who is neutral). It'd be silly for me to expect like, game winning reads from him, but it doesn't look good when combined with other evidence.
  13. Haha sorry. I kind of consider us one being at this point They're not really set in stone... I just don't want a repeat of D1. Only other player I'd be cool with lynching right now is Aster, to be honest, but I feel like it's inevitable that both he and Straw need to die, so it doesn't matter which one we take out first.
  14. I pretty much explained why I think Straw needs to die last night in my final post, where I said I was killing him and why. I think he's good, but there's enough of a chance that he isn't to warrant a lynch, and two players that voted for him D1 are on my list of people I have barely any reads on. Knowing Straw's alignment for sure helps me a lot, personally.
  15. Your vote on Straw D1. I know Rae's clear because Ringleader, and STINK is neutral, so if the eliminators wanted an easy mislynch D1, they would have gone for Straw. That being said, Striker is also on the list for saying in thread "Straw is very suspicious" without voting, and I'm sure he's not the only one. I have no qualms with lynching Joe, it just seems a bit premature right now, and I do feel that knowing Straw's alignment for sure helps solving the game. In other words, I'd rather stay on this lynch and see where it takes us.
  16. Mostly I think you're town because of tone. But Yitzi defended you in a weird way D1, never voted for you, voted with you twice (Rand and Aster), and you've been a lot more interested in surviving this game than usual, which are decent signs of being evil. Seeing your alignment for sure can help us form reads on people who voted for you D1, which makes you a lot more appealing than a STINK lynch since it has no chance of helping us in achieve our win con or gain information. I would be happy to lynch a few other players today, but it's so late in the turn now, I'm not sure if it would succeed or clarify our picture of the game state. Just look at the vote tally (9) Straw: _Stick_, BrightnessRadiant, Drake Marshall, asterion137, StrikerEZ, The Flash, Dalinar Kholin, Paranoid King, Amanuensis, (8) STINK: A Joe in the Bush, Crimsn-Wolf, Ecthelion III, Arraenae, little wilson, Arinian, Straw, STINK, (8) None: Cloudjumper, Shqueeves, Elenion, Araris Valerian, randuir, Seonid, OrlokTsubodai, Elbereth, It would take a lot of work to diffuse both of these wagons and create a third, and last thing I want is to try to use my status as a player or a town confirmed role to manipulate it. That being said, Strawagon looks really impure to me. Specifically I think one of Drake, Striker or PK are very likely evil (if Straw is good). If you die today, I can start looking at them really hard with confidence.
  17. Straw I have doubts about Straw. I think he could be good, but I don't want to waste a lynch on STINK, and Straw dying can, imo, resolve Aster's alignment quite a bit. I can see reasons for Aster's actions so far from either alignment, although I do think it's more likely he's evil (and that Straw, in turn, is good), due to his explanations for his actions (or lack there of, I guess). Either way, I think there's a really good chance one of the two is teammates with Yitzi, and I believe figuring that out sooner rather than later will help this game get back to being productive.
  18. I'm sorry for reacting the way I did earlier. I made an unfair assumption based on our interactions, which kind of painted you in a worse light. I don't really think you getting lynched is the solution, here. I want everyone to be able to participate in these games and have fun. I just don't want people to have fun at the expense of other's. As long as you don't do that, you're good in my book.
