    That's totally fair, but I'm guessing we only have one Aydee and we are guaranteed in the rules only one Bastille. Since the elims won't target themselves they have about a two in nine shot of hitting a non-smedry... which seems higher now that I write that down. If the Bastille finds the Aydee, we have a pretty good shot of not loosing anyone this cycle. Until we all find out that every villager is an Aydee!

    Hello Everyone! I'm so stoked for this game! Is that a lie??? I'm'a give my two cents here with DeTess and Venture. lenses Courier’s lenses: I second this question. How will passing work. PAFO is entirely acceptable. Disguiser’s Lenses: As I understand this only applies to the elim kill. That being the case you should try to look like the person you think is the most likely to be an elim. If you're wrong you're just as likely to be dead as before, but if you're right, the elims have to kill one of their own to get at you. This will be most important at lylo. Oculator’s Lenses: The rules say each player has only one action, so barring inactivity, whoever uses this lense has a one in twelve shot of finding the killer to start the game. More like one in eleven unless they are likely to target the lynch target, but semantics Shaper’s Lenses: Given the different teams have different roles available to them, I would assume we will be able to determine what team people are on based on their role. I am a son of honor windrunner Tracker’s Lenses: This one really excites me. I know learning people's roles gives us their alignment and therefore allows us to solve the game, but I want to be able to use every lense this game. We'll see how many I can collect! This is the part where I die day 1. Translator’s Lenses: Truthfinder’s Lenses: I am not an elim I am a librarian. Windstormer’s Lenses: Good Question, and seconded Voidstormer’s Lenses: Also same. Can someone give me one of these. This seems perfect for my goal. village roles Alcatraz Smedry: I'm trying to find a way this role is useful. Maybe late game, but who knows. @Elandera, are you notified if you successfully broke a lense and what it was? PAFO is still valid Grandpa Smedry: An interesting role I'm not sure if it made it into a game this size. I guess try not to get lynched? Oh wait, that doesn't work either. Hmm, you may just be a god Aydee: I second the Shaper's, Tracker's and maybe Truthfinder's lenses. Voidstormer's is good too! Bastille: Wow, the bodyguard got a makeover! Not only can she protect someone every cycle, but the first target that isn't her is an instant protect! I think this is the most powerful effect we have been given because gramps only has half a chance of surviving. Do what it takes to survive to the late game and we have as much power as the elims in deciding who lives and dies. Elim roles Dark Oculator: Feels kinda nerfed. It takes two turns to get a roleblock and is extra susceptible to the Shaper and Tracker since no one else can roleblock or create a Codexian Order of the Shattered Lens: @Elandera Does this action look like a Smedry to the Tracker or is it differentialble? I admit that makes the tracker less useful if that is the case. To get another thing out of the way: I need vote for Kynedath Kynedath and Venture Venture For not voting. Done and done. Most importantly: Welcome @The_God_King @Zillah and @Feruchemical Skybreaker I look forward to stabbing you in the back playing with you Drat, three ninjas

    That was so fun! Thank you again for running that @Fifth Scholar and @Elbereth! Man, it was good to play with all of you guys again! Right back at you Maill! As I said before, it's too bad we couldn't make it last longer! I'm still down to do it again! Also same Burnt! I hope to be a lot better at PM's in general, but the RP we had going was awesome! Congrats Striker, Arraenae, and Burnt Spagetti! I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

    @Elandera does the disguisers lens only apply to the elim kill?
  5. Elkanah
    This looks great, count me in! Larry Lifehack signing up to join defeat the evil librarians. I'm afraid I haven't read the source material, so RP may be a little off or nonexistent. I'll do my best to contribute to the story, though

    Awesome game @BrightnessRadiant! I loved it! Great job village! I was on the edge of my seat the whole game! An extra shout out to @DeTess @Twibanu and @Elandera I was terrified playing against all three of you and I think if we'd left any two of you alive longer together it wouldn't have been as close of a game! I logged in and saw Elandera had mentioned me in a comment and was struck with horror until I remembered the game was already over! XD
  9. Elkanah
    Sorry for my inactivity, it's been a stressful couple days. I can confirm I was roleblocked. I tried stealing from Elandera and was foiled by a knife. I had already sent that action when I posted and decided not to change it. I realize I've tunneled pretty hard on Elandera, but I really don't know who else to go for. It's possible Lemon role blocked me instead of submitting a kill if there were only three elims to begin with. That is only accurate if the game started with four traitors. In that case, if they killed someone, they go up 3-2. If they started with three traitors and they killed someone last cycle, they would still be down 2-3. Granted lynching me either way wasn't going to be that hard, but it was possible that whatever other two you left alive would side with me. By roleblocking me, the eliminators would now have a patsy to lynch and an unfettered kill order. bringing them 2-2. Then they just tie the next lynch and submit the kill. They could tie the lynch perpetually until one of the two of them wasn't blocked. I'm willing to believe the kill was blocked, but I wasn't the one who sent it. Did anyone else block someone? Unless someone else comes forward with a roleblock on someone who might have made the kill, I'll vote Lemonelon as she has admitted to enacting the most likely other scenario given my innocence. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit: to not double post RP Clark had been cornered. No where to go, no one to turn to. Even the doctor couldn't help him at this point. He dove for the door, but it it was blocked. He looked over the counter and he could see there were no sympathizing faces left. Only frustration at not having found any bona fide traitor yet. There was desparation and even anger in some eyes. Then he spotted it. His way out was clear. Clark ran for the door to the lab. Everyone knew there was no way out. The lab was set up specifically so that there was one way in and the stairs led underground. That way anyone coming to stop the operation couldn't sneak in or out, but had to fight their way through. Seeing Clark was going for the doctor, gang members hustled to block the path to the lab. That was the chance Clark needed. He swung around and sprinted back for the door out into the market. He reached for the door handle, wrenched it open, and saw daylight as the hands from behind pulled him back in. The sunlight in the market was the last thing he saw.

    Clark ducked behind a dumpster. He knew there were traitors among the denizens of the black market, but he didn't expect to catch one in the act. Did the doctor know something? Is that why he sent Clark off to one of the scarier parts of Newcago where that epic had control? He must have known. but how could Character betray everyone? It was so uncharacteristic of her. Clark had to warn everyone. He peeked around the edge of the dumpster to see them both staring right at him! Clark jumped and ran for his life, knowing this was the end. He cut through alleys and slipped under fences too terrified to look behind, but he knew he would never escape. Surely Character had already informed the epic of his name, where he stayed and his ties to the doctor. All was lost. ...and yet, he still wasn't dead. Exhausted, he slipped through the slat in the window of a closed shop. The back half of the store was collapsed in a way that made it look like a dugout. At least there was only one way in, so he would see death coming. ----------- But it didn't. After waiting for what felt like days, but may have been an hour or two, he snuck a peak. There was no sign of anyone. It didn't mean there wasn't anyone, but Clark didn't remember that epic having the power of invisibility. He realized he could either leave and try to bring the news to the doctor and probably get killed, or he could cower here until he starved. He chose starve. That lasted until the early hours of the morning. Too cold to sleep and missing his shanty, he finally decided to venture out. He looped around several times to make sure as he could that he wasn't followed. Finally, he made his way back to the market. Exhausted, but with an important message, he burst into the far emptier room leasing to the lab to see someone accuse Charlie. That didn't seem right at all. He had just seen Character with an epic. "Wait, Charlie wouldn't hurt a fl..." The words died as Clark spotted Character. ------------------------------------------------------- Definitely just RP. Don't read too far into it. It was originally a poke vote that got away from me while you were tied. I'll admit I should have switched over once you voted for him and it was clear you were ok with him getting lynched. That's a fair point. I thought he had jumped on after you had, but he also proposed it the cycle earlier. It was suspicious to me that you used it to break the tie on you, but striker may have done that too. I'm on mobile so I'll be better able to check on that when I get home. Ninjad I agree and have said as much. I'm going to keep my vote on Elandera as I think she's more likely the elim. I don't mean any of this to come off as angry, but rereading I can see it being taken that way. I'm not salty, I'm just suspicious. Edit: to not double post. I'm an idiot. Elandera [/green]didn't vote Joe. She voted on me. I'm going to go back and look at everything again.

    I have been most suspicious of Elandera For a few cycles now. We really don't have the wiggle room for any more mislynches either, so we can't go after information votes. Here are my reads: Striker: Suspicious for their defense of and vote saving Sart Cycle 1, but looking back through the thread, hasn't really done anything suspicious since. Venture: I still believe is pretty cleared based on how keen Sart was to lynch them cycle 1. They have flown pretty effectively below the radar, but targeting the less active players was recommended by Elandera who is my number 1 suspect. Elandera: Defended Sart, but didn't vote to save him cycle one. That both helps and hurts her case. Then Sart voted on her even though that would do nothing to change Sart's position on the block and this was before it looked like we were lynching Coda instead. I believe that was an attempt to distance from her. She suggested we start lynching the least active players only after she was in position to be lynched (tied with StrikerEZ). Hence I believe Elandera is the most likely to be a traitor. Lemonelon: I looked back through all posts by and about her. It looks like at given points Venture trusted her, Kynedath didn't trust her, and Elandera and I had neutral reads. All of these were because of lack of content. If Elandera is right and an eliminator is just lying low, I'd guess it was Lemonelon. Kidpen: Was on all three of CadCom's lists, placed a late vote on Devotary and a throw-away vote on Striker. May be more suspicious than Lemonelon due to voting patterns. Kynedath: Is only on one of the four lists and hasn't felt very traitor-y to me. Wasn't involved in the Sart debacle. I don't see any real indicators going back through past cycles. Given the evil team is probably Elandera and either Lemonelon or Kidpen, I'd guess Kynedath is village. (I thought there were seven of us and it took me a whole minute to realize I was the seventh)
  12. Elkanah
    I guess that's fair enough, let me know when you have something I can defend against. You know, I think you have a point. Joe any thoughts? Edit: ninja'd by Venture with a better version of my question answer that one. @A Joe in the Bush

    Clark sat back contentedly. It had been a while since he'd felt this full. This job wasn't the cleanest. He'd gone back to his alleyway many times covered in blood and he didn't care to know what else, but the doc always came through on his promises of food. He looked down at his makeshift plate filled with a collection of meat and flat bread vaguely resembling street tacos. "I better save the rest of this" he thought. The next job was going to be a doozy and it might be a while before he could find cooked meat again. He rubbed his hands on his shirt, and set the plate in a hole in one of the walls left there by some epic long gone. There was work to be done. He messed up his hair a little more and rubbed a little dirt on his cheeks. Extra camouflage was always a good idea. The epics wouldn't believe such a scrubby boy could cause them harm and no one else would see him come or go. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I still haven't gone back to look over CadCom's posts and it's getting late. I'm going to hold on to my vote for now, but I think both Striker and Elandera are very suspicious for the same reasons. I think we stand to gain information whichever of them is eliminated. I'll be back on before the end of the cycle to vote. Vote Tally: Striker: Lemonelon, Elandera Elandera: Kynedath, Striker I will say this much: if Elandera is bad I doubt Striker is. If they were both bad, it would make more sense to start a third lynch instead of solidifying the two of them as lynch targets. Aand if I go any further down that rabbit hole, I'll end up in a host I IKYK's and it's too late at night for that.

    Clark reentered the black market carrying a soggy wet burlap sack. He tried not to meet eyes with anyone. If someone left the market for more than a day or two they were just presumed dead. If they came back though, they were presumed a traitor and ended up dead. Unfortunately, if you were too loud or quiet you pretty much ended up dead too. Everyone ended up dead eventually so it wasn't a big problem. Clark had gotten pretty good at being there just enough to be not dead. Sure he was beaten to death from time to time, but that built character. Today, he had another delivery for the doctor. A length of arm from someone who had been killed by a newer epic in newcago. Apparently this one could use insects and liked to have them crawl through people. Clark was sure there was some sciency reason the doc would want the leftovers, but wasn’t sure what a bunch of dead bugs could tell him about how to beat epics. As he passed through the market to the secret door to the clubroom, it looked like someone had done something to get attention. Attention was a bad idea. He poked his head in to see the execution and then went about his business.

    Thank goodness. I'll be able to do some real RP instead of throwing something together at the last minute. Here are some thoughts on those of us who are still alive: StrikerEZ: Aptly named the already suspicious Suspicious for adamant defense of known eliminator Sart. Voted to tie and presumably save Sart Day one. Generally suspicious tone in his posts, although that is admittedly less an issue than other two. Verdict Probably elim Kynedath: Has contributed a lot to the game. Is probably not on the same team as Twibanu unless they are both village. There have been a few times I thought they were elim, but also did nothing to stop Sart from getting lynched. I think if they were teammates, Kynedath would have tried harder to swing that lynch the other way. Verdict: Under review to slightly village. Venture: Pretty sure they are village. I had a good reason, but I can't remember right now what it was. It had to do with Sart being keen to lynch them. Verdict Probably village. Elandara: In cycle one, last posted over three hours before turnover and if we go with the idea the elims had a player afk for turnover, she was gone before there was a chance of Coda being lynched. Also suggested opposed the lynch on Sart and Sart voted on her after it looked like she wouldn't be back before turnover and it wouldn't have killed her anyway. Verdict probably elim CadCom: A lot of good comments so far. I've been operating under the assumption they are good, but I ought to do my due diligence and look harder to get actual evidence. They didn't show up on any of the four lists, but also created three of them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I wrote this eight hours ago and got called away from my computer. I'm back, but I'll post this so it's out and then I can work on writing the rest of it for the next hour or so.
  16. Elkanah
    Fwew, that took a lot more than I though it would, but here are three things I was able to put together. 1. I went through the Day 1 interactions with Sart. 2. I cross referenced the three lists CadCom supplied with the lists of people who supported or denied the Sart Lynch 3. A vote Tally 1: 2: I'll vote for Devotary given they saved Sart, Voted for DeTess, and have an unconfirmed action on C1. 3: StrikerEZ: Twibanu, Devotary: Elandera, Venture, Joe, Lemon, Elkanah, Kidpen Hmm. That seems gross. Devotary for now. I will return to post my thoughts on each living player individually, but it's late and I really need to get to bed.
  17. Elkanah
    I'm dropping in to let you know I'm going through all that's happpened. I should have some opinions and analysis up soonish.
  18. Elkanah
    Sounds Great. GGWP. I'll look for more atium
  19. Elkanah
    Hey guys. Wow, a lot happened there. So if I understand what happened, there were three of us who weren't on near rollover and so it's likely a kill was called in on Coda before they were leading in the lynch. I'm still not sure why Coda was the lynch target or the elim target. He felt to me like he was playing the same as every other game. All I can think of is something he may have claimed in a PM. I didn't have a PM with them, but it's possible he claimed to an elim to have a vest. That makes more sense to me than an elim losing the kill by not being online at rollover. Even so, it probably would have been wiser for them to wait and see if Coda actually had a vest or not. Did anyone have a PM wherein Coda claimed to have any items? As for me I had some unexpected family come and stay the night and I'm really disappointed I missed out on my second point. Because I hadn't planned for them I submitted no actions and failed to post before the cycle ended. Ninja'd by A Joe in the Bush. I'm afraid without an action, I have no alibi other than to say I'm not sure I buy that it's one of the three of us.
  20. Elkanah
    Woo Hoo! I'm just happy to make it to the end! If we wanted to kandra chain it's better to go for me... although it never said in the rules that you can't use atium on yourself... Either way seems good.

    Clark darted into the lit room. His mousy hair, tossled and unkempt, did nothing to improve his appearance. His shirt was thin and patched at the elbows with bits of another shirt sewn onto the bottom to make it long enough to cover his midsection. His faded pants showed a few inches of his ankles. His mismatching shoes looked like they had been pulled from a dumpster (because they had), and he thought the look was perfect! There was a lot of power in looking scrubby. No one would look at him for more than a couple seconds before at most shaking their head and moving one. It was almost like he was invisible, which made finding and taking things that much easier. He irreverently carried a small box holding his errand for the doctor in one hand. Although what the doc wanted with some random bloody shirt Clark didn’t know. Didn’t really care either. All that mattered is Clark knew how to find things and the doctor paid him pretty well when he needed something. To the dismay and shouts of a couple newer bodyguards, Clark walked right through the double doors into the lab and plopped the worn out hat box onto the (presently empty) operating table looking like a cat who had just caught his lunch. “I finds the shirt you asked for” Clark announced proudly. “That’s fine. Leave it here. I’ve already arranged your payment through the black market. Talk to the usual man there and he’ll get you taken care of.” the doctor droned without looking up. “Grea’. You knows where to find me when you needs somfin’ else.” With that Clark disappeared back through the doors headed for his payment. Hello Everyone! Starting off with items, I think we have a pretty good handle on what items are important. Going back through the list, my first impression when I saw there was only one gun in the market was to think they have already been distributed. If there were three or four guns out there the elim team was probably four or maybe even five. However, Given this math, that makes the game super swingy. We'd have to be pretty lucky to hit traitors in the first place and whittling down our own numbers could make the game even shorter. These items kind of feel like exchangable roles to me. So someone who starts with binoculars is like a tineye, even though that role can be traded or stolen. Someone with a smokebomb is like a smoker, the gun a serial killer, and the same for the rest. With that being the case I would guess maybe two or three binoculars, one or two guns, two or three bullet proof vests, and the knives and strongboxes are cheap enough and plentiful enough in the market that I don't know if anyone started with those. If items are that scarce, that means about eight of us started with items. With so few, I bet the traitors didn't start with anything, or maybe they got a knife or a strongbox. Even so, with up to two village SK's I'd bet the elim team is four people to mitigate a lucky shot or two and get us to turn seven where the gun on the market could decide the game. Thanks for the poke @CadCom. I'm afraid I don't really have anyone I want to lynch yet. I think Kynedath and Twibanu have been pretty helpful so I vote not them. Also, please everyone make sure you get your two points. Given four elims and eleven village, activity is our biggest strength. We have the opportunity to buy items at about two to one after eliminator kills, but we can easily lose that advantage.
  22. Elkanah
    That sounds awesome. I believe Mailliw used a similar idea way back when in midrange 12 as well. I can't miss out on this! I will sign up as Clark Narrow, a punk kid from the streets with aspirations of making a difference in this new world.
  23. Elkanah
    I guess that's fair Lemonelon Coda Edit: Good game well played
  24. Elkanah
    While I'd still like to hear more from @Coda, I'll vote for Lemonelon. That vote for darkness came from left field, and Wonko is right, we get a lot of information from whether she turns up student or thug.
  25. Elkanah
    I believe it was because eight of the twelve living players voted for him. In the OP it says Bold mine. With eight of us left, I believe we'd need five of us to reveal the type of whomever we lynch. Honestly, I'm less interested in learning types than in lynching eliminators. Cards on the table, I scanned Devotary cycle one and was told he was village, which is why I didn't want to lynch him. That was before I knew about the possibility of confused tineyes. Cycle two I scanned Coda and was told he was a thug. I recognize that we can't fully trust scans, but I put that together with his posting style that feels like he's being reminded in an eliminator doc that he ought to post. Finally, last cycle I scanned Snipexe since he was also on the block and he came up village. @Coda would you be willing to give us a list of whom you trust most to least? any information would be helpful ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Elias looked out at the room. "Finally" he thought "peace and quiet." Although now the silence was tinged with sadness. The remaining students were huddled and suspicious instead of loud and carefree. Over the last few days, Elias had used his tin to peek into conversations he had no part of, sending away those he deemed even slightly suspicious. There was room in the class to accept ten or eleven students. Now that there were only eight, the emptiness of those desks threatened to squash him. Elias looked down at the hat in his hands. A deep red contrasting brilliantly with green. Filled with determination, he resolved that should it come down to it, he must find who had done this so it could stop. He chuckled. "This is what I wished for only days ago. That all the other people would just disappear. Looks like I got my wish." He stood, fetched a pad of paper, and began scribbling notes furiously.
