That bit was almost entirely Aman. I don't think the other Sharders even saw it.
-
Well, I had a few questions of a very embarrassing nature that I wanted to know. Not quite forum appropriate. That's why it's redacted.
-
Kind of. I'm doing a speech on online classes. Luckily, Aman has taken some and is willing to share his opinion on them (useless, but the only option he has).
-
Online colleges, height, and [redacted].
-
No idea. But today is a Friday.
-
Until they're 90% people's life stories and 10% game-related discussion. I know a few people who don't enjoy wading through the fluff.
-
Because I need to satisfy my conversation quota without filling up the doc with useless stuff, and this is the best way to do it.
-
I'd love to, but... no. Sorry, not sorry.
-
Wait, I got invested in by Preservation? TY for telling me, Lopen, somehow Seonid must have forgotten to put that in my GM PM. And TY, Preservation, for giving me such secret Investiture that even Seonid doesn't know I have it. Invisible Investiture is best Investiture.
-
Yes. Why do I feel like you want something in return?
-
"Why are you here?" Parth asked. "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you," Nila said. Then she considered. "Or at least spike the memory out of you. Could you survive that? I've been meaning to try some experiments with hemalurgy, but I'd rather not be chased out of Scadrial for being a mass murderer."

Problem is Copyright Law: you want to protect people's works from being claimed by someone else, and you want to encourage people to keep creating. Sometimes it's obvious who is the original creator and who is the copycat, but videos can be more ambiguous.

Araris. As Nyali pointed out, her role and alignment were revealed when she died. I don't see why a villager would cast suspicion on the one confirmed and live player we have.
-
No. It's a "please kill me so I can stop focusing on SE and start focusing on finals without letting my team down."
-
[insert quotebox here] So, yeah, killing Aman right now rather than going after Hoid is, I think, a bad idea. Who are our remaining candidates for Hoid, by the way? Arraenae. Rae. Nila. Arrenae (by some mispellings). Arraene (by other mispellings). Arr. Arrae. That player who shouldn't be sacrficing time in class to play SE. That player who, because of SE, now has an internet addiction. Me. There's your list of remaining candidates.

I.... I feel a sudden urge to draw this.

@ Vote manipulators: TY for keeping me alive. I really appreciate being able to participate in SE, and handing in my 1st period homework a day late, and doing my 5th period homework in 1st period, and doing my 4th period homework during recess. Thanks. (Just salty now that SE has caused me to miss stuff. I'll get over it by next week. But my grades don't like me playing SE. Won't be back until later. Bye.)

Mudpies. I wonder how these taste...

A question. A flash of movement blocks out the stars. An organic flying machine, it seeks its fuel in the night sky. Silent wings, keen hearing, eyes like the wings of a moth. What is it?

If you haven't voted, it might be a good idea to vote on yourself like Hael just did here, so you can prove you're not Hoid if Hoid secret votes. Why might Odium be someone who has interacted with Nyali in LG20? After thinking about this in math, I think Amanuensis is more suspicious than Elodin. There's a difference between correlation and causation, as shown below. So, what Amanuensis and Lopen noted was that the first poke vote often goes on an eliminator (no numbers were provided). There are three theories on why that may be the case: 1, people who are eliminators have a quality that makes them more pokable, 2, people become eliminators because they were poke voted, or 3, it's just random chance. I don't want to spend too much time going into these theories, but it's interesting that Aman chose to vote on Mark for that reason. It's similar to saying people with blond hair tend to have lighter eyes than people with black hair (except on Roshar, because Roshar is weird with hair and eye color), so if I, a black-haired brown-eyed person, want lighter eyes, I should dye my hair blond. The more I think about this, the less valid the first-poke-vote-on-eliminator reason seems. Aman eventually took his vote off, but it's still weird he voted for Mark for that reason. I'm quite confident Amanuensis is an intelligent person, so unless he believes that people who place the first poke vote can innately sense an eliminator within minutes of a game beginning, or GMs select eliminators by seeing into the future who get's poke voted on first, he has no reason to believe that Mark is more likely to be an eliminator because someone poke voted on him first. Amanuensis might have been an eliminator who wanted a reason to vote on someone, so he picked something that seemed a little legitimate and voted.

It's a complex issue. On one hand, eliminators can be inactive. There have been games where inactive eliminators survived (and won) because the village didn't want to bother with inactives. On the other hand, villagers can be inactive too, and sometimes people will tell the thread that they will be inactive for a certain amount of time. Players have to balance being jerks and voting on people who can't defend themselves versus being right and lynching an eliminator. We also have to keep in mind that voting on someone encourages them to respond. Some games fix this by having inactivity filters, where people who don't post inthread, speak in a PM, or type in a doc die after x cycles. This isn't one of those games. Amanuensis said that he'd be able to respond after his last flight. If he was going to be out for a few cycles, he probably would have said so. That's why I have no qualms with people dropping votes on him -- he's probably going to be back by this Day to respond.
