Sure you're good at figuring out when I'm an eliminator, Lopen? Next time try not to tunnel so hard on me please. I don't want to make you feel bad, but it was part of the reason I felt so discouraged from posting. I'm not sure what it was this game but all of my instincts were on point, even if I never really did follow through them. I immediately trusted Joe, which was only fortified by him tieing his own lynch, my first vote was on Winter, followed by Gamma, who both ended up being the first two discovered, I was right about my read on Araris (I never explained it but the reason I thought he was loyal was because his first target was HS and as he explained it he put in that order due to being irritable and annoyed by HS' unjustified vote on him. I find that when a player shows emotional vulnerability they are a lot easier to read, and personally if he was a Traitor kill role then there would be more thought and less feeling involved in deciding who to kill), and finally my first and only role block which was decided last minute on Bugsy because something about him just seemed distinctly off to me. For the record I was also aware of cloudiness's Traitorhood due to the fact that as soon as the MR began he became noticeably less active in LG21 17th Shard Doc. I decided not to act on that information, though I did almost slip up mentioning it in PMs in both games. Thankfully I pondered the repercussions before I sent those messages. Lopen was the only outlier, but that's mostly because I didn't like the way he was (at first) trying to imply I was a neutral role and then later a Traitor when I had literally done nothing wrong... but no hard feelings. Tangent aside, thank you Hael and Elb for running this game. As a wood player I agree that it was extremely OP. Like I said in the game not having the fear of dying made me really lazy, as it was known to everyone from the start that I couldn't be killed. It didn't have that effect on Lopen and SD it seems but it was a personal qualm of mine. I would maybe consider having Wood 1 and 2 switched in a rerun maybe, as I think that would balance the strength of it on its own.

So I'm going to try something I think is interesting for this game. I will be playing this as if my primary focus is finding and killing Padan Fain (so long as this is cool with Gamma). I want to treat it as my own personal win condition, even if it doesn't match my actual one, though with that in mind I promise I won't let it affect the game in a way that it might break it. I just think it's a good opportunity to try something new for myself and that it will encourage me to RP, as it is my intent to only post in character. With that and the fact that the internet will be down at my workplace for an indefinite amount of time, please expect that I won't be as present / vocal as usual. Regardless I very much look forward to this.

Stink, Facebook I see you lurking there FB. You gonna speak up or what?

Stink. you going to join this one or not m8?

Thanks very much for GMing this game, Seonid for an eliminator caught on the very first day I had a ton of fun, even if it was more often than not at the expense of the Shardic Coalition (sorry guys). And thank you Hael for helping us finish the game, even if it was unintentional. I knew I wouldn't be able to get online today due to work commitments so I was a bit worried about what I'd see when I got home, so imagine my surprise when we won, and without even lynching leift like I had intended
-
Hid myself and Roleblocked you.
-
I wish I could say I cared enough to defend myself but sadly I don't. If anyone has any questions for me feel free to ask me now with my name in bold but I really cannot divulge the time right now to catch up on everything that I've missed this entire game.
-
Any chance you'd make a PM with Alv, Rae and myself in it, leift? (Since I was nice enough to give you the Shard in the first place )

Sooo it's probably been very noticeable that I haven't been paying much attention to this game (my main concern has been trying to win and totally-not-troll- LG21). I think starting off with a role that guaranteed I couldn't be killed by Traitors is a factor of this (encouraged me to be lazy) but I don't want to make excuses. So, if it'll give some people some peace of mind, feel free to lynch me. In the past I have explicitly gone after people for barely participating / lurking in the background, so I can't really blame anyone if they vote for me for that reason. If ya'll do decide to kill me at some point I suggest you seriously consider lynching Lopen afterwards (for his constant dogging of me since D1, which suggests to me that he could be a Traitor trying to get rid of a player he knows he won't be able to kill otherwise) as well as his similar pursuit of Araris (who I also think is loyal and in this scenario of Lopen being evil would be a large threat for the eliminators, hence his constant roleblocking). If he turns out to be Loyal I would even suggest taking a closer look at SD (because I would not be surprised if they sacrificed Winter, suspecting that she would be lynched soon, to gain another player on their team absolute trust). Also, keep in mind that in this game where spying on PMs is a very common thing, the eliminators might have realized that from the get go and decided to intentionally lay down false trails by contacting each other in a seemingly innocent way. It would be a very efficient way for them to soft clear themselves, especially if one of the players (like Joe) brought a lot of attention onto themselves early on. So just because Winter was in contact with Joe/Mail/whoever else doesn't mean they should be ignored. If I were a Traitor (especially with how many Tier 1s they have) I would suggest that exact plan, and by rule of thumb if I think of something that means someone else would have too. Anyway, that's my two cents on the matter at hand. I will Hide myself for the 5th time and will take a PM request for my second action to show that I am not the one making kill orders. Otherwise I will also take a suggestion for roleblacking if people think that is a wiser use of my abilities.
-
Eh so, I decided to roleblock Bugsy last minute. That might be why there was no Traitor kill, but I don't know. Who else roleblocked who?
-
Well the "I guess" was me intentionally avoiding definites so I could later deny that I lied about it. Besides, in order to avoid being immediately lynched that was pretty much necessary
-
I am not a member of the 17th Shard, I am the heart and soul of it, thank you and I said "I guess I'll have to go ahead and claim that I am an Elantrian," not that I actually am one. Geeeez, context clues much?
-
You're Hoid your input doesn't count
-
Nah that was pretty much true I could have still won even if I was dead. Mark didn't have that luxury due to being Survival. I would have chosen his life over mine, especially if it secured his assistance towards my team's win. Those were jokes; lies and jokes are different it's all about intent, you see. That one is true too! I have yet to put a single kill order in this entire game :]
-
When have I ever lied this game? Show me one lie I've told and I will concede...
-
Why me? :[ Why not leift?
-
How am I the shadiest? :[
-
I am willing to role block someone, as I have yet to use my PM this cycle so I have two actions available still.
-
Weird how that happened, isn't it?
-
Sorry for the double post. But Alvron. Young Bard.
-
I said please :[
-
Calling all 17th Sharders. Doc please
-
I'm changing Nikel Fain from Padan's brother to his son. Still searching for the man either way, presumably to kill him. Introductory RP to come soon.
-
I appreciate the effort. Here, have an upvote.
-
So theoretically this should clear all the players involved. Unless someone counterclaims Silver he is very likely good, and we already know Phatt is. I wonder why she PM'd him only to have him killed, though? Wait, so how was Winter a middle(wo)man between Joe and Mailliw then? Did you PM her? EDIT: Nvm that nonsense happened C2. Carry on.
