Hmmm.. this page has been .... interesting. @Oversleep "I don't really identify as a man because I don't chew bees instead of eating honey." I know you already said that this was a hyperbole, but I still found it too funny. XD Either way, I identify as a male. Never had major issues with my gender. Although, my orientation is a completely different story. As you may have guessed, I'm gay. Though never been in a relationship (partly because I'm focusing on studies and good grades and party to do with where I live), I am attracted to other males of my age, one such confession ending in a disaster. quite funny in fact. Made me learn valuable life lessons. As such, I now have no qualms about my identity or orientation. Sure, coming to terms with my differences from the common society was hard. But not for the usual reasons. I had not doubt I was, in fact gay, but I was afraid that life would be hard. I live in India, you see. We don't have gay equality rights and amendments in the constitution. Our journey to said rights has barely begun, and I suspect will not end for a long time. This isn't 0 articular encouraging to people in the closet or, as a matter of fact, people outside the closet (though I've never met any). That is partly why I've not been in a relationship. Thankfully (or probably not), I don't intend to be either, as earlier said, until a later date. @Quiver Yes, there is a third gender, 'hijra'. An expected D tradition also follows- (although I will refer to them as H because my autocorrect is prejudiced against that word ) If ever an H begs you for money, and you do give them some money, or food or clothes, they'll tend to bless you. This blessing is taken as a divine boon by many in North India. As a converse (and don't tell me you didn't expect this), if you refuse, they curse you, and this curse is said to last for your whole life. Honestly, I don't really believe this, but it's still a very convenient myth for them. I wonder who started it. Hmmm.. that was shorter than I'd expected.

So, we just leave him alive? While he kills more of us?
-
Burnt Ummm, if Lopen is probably not Odium's champion, then why aren't we killing the other probable champion? Maill has said Burnt might be it. Perhaps, she might. Thoughts?
-
Correct! Because 2 =1! Yay!
-
Ah... XD. Okay. That makes sense then.
-
2+3=3 ?

Never read any of his books though. Got a long list before it. I'm sure you know which.

My sentience would still exist, you see? My very words exist! *gasp* Survival sat, contemplating his existence. It never really was something he did. Mostly, he just focused on surviving. And now, this- he was being accused of existing. A grave crime, in his opinion. For those who existed could not survive. All things had to come to an end. Thus, he had concluded long ago that he did not, in fact exist. Yes. That would explain why he had survived for millenia. But now, his very intent was threatened. He now could perish, for his existence was tangible. Others could now hold a part in shaping his future, and he saw that most of them foretold his death. And, this was the fault of the 17th shard. That [insert Rae's name here] of the accursed shard caused all this. Survival turned to face her, but found he could not. His intent never let him get to stand-offs. Never let him do what was right. But, that was okay. For it made sure he survived. ------------- Random RP .

I exist? When did that happen? Hmmm.... I'm not sure I was aware of that. Let me check. Yup. Apparently, I've started to exist. Not good. I must not exist! This is not what should happen! It all your fault Rae! Take that back!
-
Lopen, be assured, I am not investing in any of the 17th shard members. Though I am not sure how much my word means to you. I never really was aligned with the Shard, you see? My run in with aman was solely because of the D1 votes on me. Nothing else. I hadn't figured him being evil either. But, I can't really invest in whom you want me to either. My investiture is tied up with someone. They and I have a deal going on. Something like that. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must disappear. (Please, do act like I don't exist. ) P.S. that someone is not a 17th sharder, in case you were wondering.
-
Ummm... do we kill him? We'd lose one of our own with that. Seeing as he is the poisoner, and his poised targets die with him. EDIT: ninja'd
-
No problem then.
-
I wouldn't mind as long as you aren't a 17th sharder.
-
Because you're THE ONLY Joe?
-
Joe, whom do you have PMs with? I need to talk to you.
-
Not true really. He was comparing the pride he felt with that of a father seeing his child take her first steps. Atleast that's how I saw it. You're welcome to disagree.

This conversation is awkward.
-
No problem.

asked "And which way is that?" Seeing as all directions looked the same to him, even the Stormfather would have been lost here. Suddenly, was grabbed by the shoulders and turned. "That way. It’ll be an afternoon’s walk to reach civilization. So unless you wish to stay and see the sights some more, I suggest we start off.” Jonly said. "A full afternoon?" said, frowning with distaste. "I despise walking! Makes my storming ankles hurt! Couldn't we just hop over to there? " Jonly gave him a puzzled look? "Hop? Why would you.... oH! You mean worldhop! No , we won't." "But why? We'd get there faster than a highstorm!" replied "And my ankles wouldn't hurt so much." "Yeah. Lets say we world hop. We'll land right in the middle of a busy marekt yard. You'll be unconscious for ten more hours, so there's a big chance you'll just be run over. I on the other hand would probably be apprehended for appearing out of thin air. Do you really want that? " thought for a moment. "Fine. Have it your way. But it's your fault if my ankles start hurting." Jonly sighed and started walking. Reluctantly, joined him. "I'm guessing you're from here? Scadrial? Seeing as you know your way about?" waited for an answer, but none came. I guess he's the quiet type. That, or he didn't hear me over the wind. Desperate to enter into conversation, thought of something else to say. "So, you know why we're here, right?" said, hopeful that Jonly would reply. He didn't. "To see what this 'Well of Ascension' is. " continued. Still no response. Finally, smiley stepped in front of him and blocked his path. Jonly's face went from blank to mildly confused. He asked "were you talking to me?" Though half his words were lost to the wind, could make out some of what he was saying. "I wasn't listening. Sorry for that. I decided to fill up my metalminds, you see?" burst out laughing. If there was something he couldn't resist, it was s good joke. Jonly cracked a smile at him, and patiently waited, his face going blank again. "I guess I'll have to lead you by the nose now, lest you fall into a trap somewhere between here and civilisation. " With that they continued their journey. ------------ Not one of my best, but it exists! That's good enough right now. Either way, Joe, sorry for the delay. As mentioned, I have a lot of work do catch up on, so there might be some breaks in our RP flow. I'm guessing you know why Jonly really turned on his metal minds? Especially his zinc one? EDIT: That is a lot of smileys!

I'm guessing you're assuming I'm saying if you vote for me, you'll die. But since there's no such role/item/mechanic (except for the scapegoat) you're wondering what I'm talking about. I can't really say much except that the key characteristic of my role is what will interfere with the proper functioning of the lynch. No one who voted on me will die due to lynching me, don't worry. Now, please understand I can't say more without being even more obvious, which would result in..... something I wouldn't want to happen. Sorry for the late reply. I'd forgotten to reply last cycle. Either way, my vote goes for Rae. A no vote is not something I prefer if there are people with 4 votes. And, I'm pretty confident aman is not Hoid and a bit less, (but still sure) he's not a seventeenth sharder. I know this is a last minute vote, but I'd rather not see a tie.

Sorry for my lack of contribution, but these holidays have brought on more work than I'd thought. I now have to catch up on ten days of work. Either way, I'll keep trying to post. Right now though, I've got to go to bed. It's well into the night here. I'll post about an hour before turnover. Keep stabbingplaying!

He never said he appeared just to bolster villager numbers. (Hi Kyne! How's everything going?!) He said he appeared primarily because - 1) He was going to be mod killed. Plate doesn't protect from that. 2) Maill PMed him saying he was going to be mod-killed. Maill, if I were to go inactive, assuming the game didn't end in 6 turns, would I get an inactive warning on the 5th turn in my GM PM? Well, he could be feigning bored-villager mode. I agree with you on that one. I don't know why he's not really going through the thread. But I guess it's just that 37 pages of conversation seems a lot to me, so I could see myself saying the same thing. But, one thing I fond odd is that if he knows he isn't going to be able to contribute a lot, he could pass off the plate to someone.That way, I would still be quite useful to the village (assuming he passes it off to the village). Why are you assuming Burnt is an eliminator iff Kyne is an eliminator? They could be on two different sides of the law, so to speak. Another thing - why are you assuming that if you're part of the eliminator team, you (I'm referring to you as an individual) won't kill Kyne? Kynedath's plate would just vanish from the game. More to come later perhaps.

That solves that.

Why does aman have 3 votes?
-
@Araris, I can't say much without revealing stuff, but that was never what I meant. I simply meant to say his experiment would be fruitless.
