    Well done Nathan. That was very, very close.
  2. Arraenae
    Or kitties. Kitties are adorable too.

    I knew there was a reason why I avoided following the votes until the result was conclusive. After school, I will drown my sorrows in gogurt.

    @A Joe in the Bush, can alignments change? I was rather suspicious of Mage last cycle, because he seemed to be pushing so hard for Sheep to live, but now that we know Sheep was a villager, that's a rather moot point. Mage, last cycle, when did you think Sheep would have died? EDIT: The clarification whitetext is when Bard asks about secrets.
  5. Arraenae
    There's two pieces of whitetext in Joe's posts: one in a clarification and one in this writeup next to Sheep's death announcement. The clarification one says that there's a secret but "it's not the one you think it is". Next to Sheep's death announcement, it says "he would have died today". Thoughts? This is the biggest mention of the secret I've heard.

    Wow. Wow, okay. Even I was never this bad with Burnt or El, right? I mean, I made threats dead docs that everybody knows that I'll never carry out, and maybe when I was an elim I suggested Burnt as the C1 kill, but this takes revenge to a whole new level. At least I tried to look at Burnt or El in perspective of what they'd done this game, not two or three or five games ago. Ecth, I have voted on Jondesu and Ripple. Interestingly enough, both of those cycles, you voted on me. In fact, at one point, because you voted on me, there was a tie between me an Ripple, who was an eliminator. This is what you said when Jondesu was up for the lynch: That was after two people both said that Jondesu had been acting extremely suspiciously. And the next cycle: And this cycle you place yet another vote on me, and admit that you're doing it because you have a vendetta. That, combined with the events of C1, makes me suspect you, Ecth. A vendetta is a very convenient way to participate without contributing to the discussion. It also give you an excuse to not vote on people who might as well be confirmed as eliminators. I understand that it's possible you're just a villager and this is the only way for you to express your deep loathing of me -- I know what betrayal feels like. Burnt betrayed me in my first game, LG15b, and El betrayed me more recently, in LG23. Both times, after I found out, I wrote out page after page of death threats. At one point, I threatened to rip out El's heart and stab it over and over until I was satisfied. And you know what happened? I amused them. El commented that she enjoyed seeing just how deeply her betrayal had hurt, and she had enjoyed pouring salt in the wound and seeing me flail around. If you truly want revenge, the best thing to do is to play rationally, pretend to bury it in the past, gain my trust, and then betray it on as many levels as possible. Make me feel your pain tenfold. Constantly voting on me is not an effective way to get revenge, and can only hold you back as a player.

    @AliasSheep, you have enough internet access and time to talk in Discord. Mind talking in here?
  8. Arraenae
    @Ecthelion III, what about Sart? Sart also voted for Jondesu.
  9. Arraenae
    Alv, awesome? Um. Kind of difficult to imagine that. You're a bit too lurkish to be awesome. C2, Len said this: That's an awful lot of detail there, Len. Why say that Jondesu "was asked by fellow elims to misdirect the lynch" when you can just say "Jondesu misdirected the lynch"? If you know that much detail about how Jondesu was asked to misdirect the lynch, you're probably not village.
  10. Arraenae
    So, you're not an eliminator because you haven't gone on a roaring rampage of revenge and demanded my head C1 or C2? Good to know.
  11. Arraenae
    Ripple Len so I don't die. I know I'm village.
  12. Arraenae
    Ah, fair enough. Real Life can be a pain sometimes. Mage. In the beginning of C2, on page 6 of the QF19 main thread, Len said that based off of his pervious experience being on an elim team with Jondesu, C1 the elims must have told Jondesu to direct the lynch away from Doc and he panicked. That was a strangely specific hypothesis, which makes me think that he's based off of the truth or a variation of it. The only way for Len to know that would be if Len was on the same team. I can't link that post (stupid mobile), but it shouldn't be too hard to find it.
  13. Arraenae
    I love the graphic design of that cover. I don't agree with the message, but the design is just soooooo good...
  14. Arraenae
    Nyali voted on Jondesu before he died. Seems like the elims are killing the people they're scared of. Magestar, why didn't you vote on Jondesu last cycle?
  15. Arraenae
    C1, both El and Nyali voted on Ecth at one point. Both El and Nyali were killed by the elims. This could be a coincidence, but maybe not. Does anyone know which games El and Nyali were spectacularily good villagers in, and which players in here were also in those games? If the eliminators are killing players that they fear, we might be able to narrow them down by finding which games gave them reason to fear village!El and village!Nyali. Ripple, Magestar, I know that voting on Aman was a stupid decision, one that almost let an eliminator live. If I'd paid more attention to what people were saying about Doc, I probably would have voted on Doc. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to analyse what was being said, so I agreed with Orlok's post about Aman without much thinking. I'll admit it: I'm really, really bad at reading Aman. In LG24, in what was essentially a faction game, a trusted player with very good reads was telling me that Aman was an eliminator, a confirmed villager had been telling me that Aman had been an eliminator pulling off a gambit, my own gut was telling me that Aman was an eliminator, and he still guilt-tripped me into saving his sorry hide from Lopen's vigilante attack. So yes, now I'm a little paranoid when it comes to Aman. Hopefully, in a few games I can work myself out of that paranoia, because it's not fun for either of us if I put him on a pedestal that no human player can possibly stand on.

    Doctor was a regular Noble, so he didn't even have a particularly valuable role. @Ecthelion III, @RippleGylf, do you think the elims be so desperate to keep a regular alive that they would place multiple votes on the same person in a very high-profile manner very close to rollover? I could see one, which is what Jondesu did. I could see two, because Doc wanted to keep himself alive. But three? That is begging for at least one person to be thoroughly investigated, as both Jondesu and I were, and perhaps lynched, as Jondesu was.

    Turns out that practice ended earlier than I'd thought. Sorry for not being able to contribute as much as usual -- this is a hectic week for me, which is probably throwing everything off. I'll try to avoid posting during Chem next time. On the bright side, I should have more time to be active for the rest of today and tomorrow, once I get my homework done. Monday and Wednesday will be low activity days. So, we have two coinshots, one who hit Orlok and the other who hit Bugsy. Has Bugsy done anything that people have viewed as suspicious lately? Orlok definitely seems like a village kill, but I'm worried that Bugsy's death wasn't a village one. @A Joe in the Bush, how will Daylight Savings time tomorrow affect rollover? Also, shouldn't Orlok be dead in the player list?
  18. Arraenae
    I thinke Mage and the rest of us want your opinion on the events of QF19, specifically on who you think should be lynched.
  19. Arraenae
    Maybe it's just me, but I still don't see why Orlok's original post about Aman was illogical. Can someone, anyone, please explain it to me? Jondesu for what Wonko said. That sounds pretty suspicious. I won't be on again until an hour after rollover, so if you want to address something at me please PM it or mention me.
  20. Arraenae
    @Elenion, that's because Richelle really likes cutting up dead Nobles. Also she may or may not have a bit of unknown Noble blood that allows her to burn pewter to help her kill people... About 5 hours ago, Doc PMed me and said something like this: El is either an eliminator or a ruthless villager. If she is, Lopen is one too. I'm scared of Elim!El. I'm probably telling another villager this. @Amanuensis, this is what Orlok posted: I can't really analyze this in-depth now -- parents are watching my computer and this forum doesn't look enough like homework. Can you please tell me which parts are nonsensical?
  21. Arraenae
    Maybe you could tell the guests that inside your house, there will be no political discussion? Say that it'll be better for the mental health of everybody involved. Anybody who breaks the rules too blatantly will be escorted out of the house.
  22. Arraenae
    Yeah, sorry about that. Unfortunately, I only had time to post during the middle of Chemistry, so I had to type that out while doing other stuff. Normally, I'd have been able to post more afterschool, but this week my dad didn't give me his phone despite it being Football Friday. Kind of difficult to play SE without a device that can access internet. So, why I voted on Aman in more detail: 1. If Aman is truly going inactive, no tricks, he could have done better things than asking for the elims to kill him. In what world do eliminators follow the whims of villagers just because the villagers ask nicely? He could have asked Joe for a pinch-hitter. An active player is always better than an inactive one. He also could have just gone inactive and wait for the eliminators to kill him. A dead inactive player is always better than a dead active player. Plus, if Aman wants to die so much that he's asking the eliminators to kill him, then lynching him will get him the death he so desperately wants. 2. If Aman was secretly going to stay active, and the point of asking was to make the eliminators not target him, the eliminators would kill him the moment he started making wall-of-text posts. If he was going to be inactive in thread and communicate entirely in PMs, he might still be PMing an eliminator. His analysis would also be less useful because there would be less exposure, and the eliminators would know he was still active if someone came out and said "Aman's been PMing me, here's what he says". 3. I was worried that Aman could be an eliminator saying that. After all, what sane eliminator would ask their eliminator buddies to kill them? Aman has only ever survived as an eliminator. If he's alive near the end, he's guaranteed evil. But if he asked for death, then he has the excuse that the eliminators must have suspected a trick and decided not to kill him. 3. I really liked Orlok's reasoning. Maybe it wouldn't have swayed me so much if I'd had fifteen minutes to look at it instead of three, but it sounded good at the time.

    Aman. If you really are just a villager with too much on your plate to be active, lynching you won’t hurt the village. In fact, it’ll help you with NaNo. If, however, there is something else going on, lynching you will stop it. Is this late? Yes. You try playing SE while doing Chem homework.
  24. Arraenae
    @Doctor12, I would like to note that most games only require two votes to lynch somebody. This is not an unusual rule -- in fact, it's standard. A two vote minimum is no more panic-worthy than in almost every other game. Plus, if a four-way tie ever occurred, we can take a nice long look at the people who participated in it.
  25. Arraenae
    The setup of Seekers and Smokers reminds me a bit of AG2. It makes sense for the eliminator team to have a Smoker to protect from scans, but Smokers also protect from vote manipulation. In AG2, the eliminators had ridiculous amounts of vote manipulation and the villagers had ridiculous numbers of Smokers to protect from it, and the villagers tried to kill all of the Smokers with the rationale that eventually they'd have to hit an eliminator smoker. @A Joe in the Bush, are there any spikes in this game?
