Well, congratulations everyone. You didn't all die for voting on Odium. That would have been pretty funny though, to be honest. Chances are, there is a catch somewhere, but that isn't it. I for one am hoping that the catch was that Odium had some very powerful abilities. I can confirm that at least one player other than you received one. So probably yes.

Yes, well, it was certainly less boring. So good job. In any case, this explains quite a lot. I knew I was missing something about this vote. In any case, I do believe that means game over then. Ehh, why not. The Flash. Araris.

Well. News of the day is that Straw is an Alethi unaligned. Also, for now, my vote rests on Striker, unless I am given cause to reconsider. EDIT: Also, Joe... I do care about the peace, regardless of what you might think. Do I seriously even have another option? I'm doubt it. Especially if Cloud is the last Voidbringer. But you should understand that my commitment to peace is not the trusting kind. I am under no illusions that there are some in the Alethi that are either Sons of Honor or choose to throw it in with them. Hence, peace involves give and take. It involves deals and compromises that nobody is perfectly happy with. I'm not going to do something for the greater good unless I have at least some kind of token assurance that the Alethi are going to uphold their part of the bargain. Lynching BR has been a very, very good start to that. I was rather worried when it looked like absolutely nobody cared to lynch a Son of Honor for two cycles. If you think it was unreasonable for me to be worried... How would you react, if you suddenly lost control of the lynch, and I refused to lynch an outed Voidbringer for multiple cycles? I don't think any of you would have taken it very well. So do please remember that peace is a two way street. EDIT2: At the end of the day, it comes down to this. Cloud's death for Striker's death. Can that be arranged? That is a deal I could be happy with. (sorry Cloud...) That is an arrangement that could actually give us peace, provided Cloud is indeed a Voidbringer (which in my opinion seems pretty likely at the moment).

The neutrals are participating in this lynch. A lot. That's probably a bad sign. We've probably lost. It's a very safe bet for the neutrals to all get together and help lynch a villager, but it's a very risky move for them to actually lynch one of the eliminators and risk facing retribution. But there's not much to be done now. The cycle is 3 hours from ending, and I said I would change my vote. Dalinar. The Flash. But let it be noted that I have a bad feeling about this.

Crimsn is neutral? Lol. Well I think that means I have 10 people on my list of 9 non-neutral living players. Fair enough. However, I'm just a lot less sure about Flash being an eliminator, and I'd rather have the certainty of lynching Dalinar. If I need to, I will switch my vote to Flash so that the village can't simply be outnumbered. But, to speak frankly, I don't trust either the Flash or the Araris lynch. Both of them just feel off. Even if, statistically, it is probable that one of those two is an eliminator. @Araris Valerian please explain what you were trying to say earlier about rioting and smoking. Anyway, thing is... If the eliminators are calling in a vote from Wilson right now... That puts us at 5 votes versus 5 votes. Now, if Araris is actually good (and I'm going to take a gamble and just work off the assumption that he is), that puts us in an interesting place. It means that there will be a village rioter and a village soother, giving the village a potential advantage. But the eliminators are basically certain to have at least a single smoker, which has the potential of blocking the vote manipulations. And in this case, a tie lynch is bad news for the village. So in that case, if we can all agree on somebody who is actually evil, we can pull through, at least for today. I still think there's something really wrong with this whole Araris versus Flash thing. There's too many things here that just don't make any sense. I'd feel a lot better picking a third option, and then piling everything we have on that. This would let us dodge most gambits, and even if that third option was chosen randomly (which it would not be) we'd still have pretty good odds to hit an eliminator at this point. But if nobody is going to change there vote, I will switch over to Flash. Even if I think that this is sub-optimal.

Well well. This is a little crazy. No, I take it back. I just read the whole thing. It isn't a little crazy, it's a lot crazy. It's also amazing. Even if we are probably about to lose. So, we would be at LyLo, except for some complications. First off, there are both vote manipulators and smokers, which confuse things a bit. There aren't enough smokers to totally block vote manipulators, however, if the vote manipulators are sufficiently lucky. Second off, the eliminators are calling in a vote from Wilson. Well, fair play. Making a deal and sticking to it. Remind me why we didn't strike a deal with Wilson when we agreed to lynch the convict? We totally could have done that. Anyways. If we want to go full-on tinfoil, the eliminators could have asked Wilson to do this to deflect the lynch away from Araris. It would be an utterly effective way to stop us from lynching an eliminator, and if Wilson were online near the end, she could even switch her vote away from Araris and onto the villager of choice. On the other hand, there are several reasons that this is unlikely. The first is Occam's razor. And the second is that I'm not sure the eliminators would be quite that devious in the way they call in their favor. There's a pretty good chance that they can control the lynch through raw force, so I doubt they would feel the pressure that is necessary to come up with a plan like this. Plus, my gut says Wilson is telling the truth about this. She's following the terms of the deal she struck to the letter. And, honestly, if this is all some elaborate gambit, the eliminators flat-out deserve to win. So... Lets go ahead and assume that Araris is indeed a villager. Even though I do have some doubts, because Araris said some weird things about "4 people controlling the vote." So. We have 13 players. Flash, Cloud, Shqueeves, PK, Arin, Araris, Wilson, me, Crimsn, Stick, Dalinar, STINK, Orlok, and Elbereth Of those, we can immediately knock it down to 9, removing the neutrals from the pool of suspects. Flash, Cloud, Shqueeves, PK, Arin, Araris, me, Crimsn, Stick, Dalinar I'm also going to take out Araris for the aforementioned reasoning, putting us at 8. And I'm going to remove myself, obviously, putting us at 7. Flash, Cloud, Shqueeves, PK, Arin, Crimsn, Stick, Dalinar At this point I will note that if we guessed randomly we'd have an over 50% chance of guessing correctly. However, because LyLo requires us to guess correctly many times in a row without any margin for error, random guessing is not a sound strategy to win the game. Lets take a look at Paranoid King though. He originally voted on a suspicion about Flash, but the grounds for his suspicion seemed to be an honest mistake and he immediately retracted his vote when he realized it. I consider that to indicate village on PK. I know it's a painfully small amount of information to clear somebody off of, but we're desperate, so I'll roll with it. That takes PK off my list, dropping us down to 6 people. Flash, Cloud, Shqueeves, Arin, Crimsn, Stick, Dalinar ...and I think that's enough for now. My gut read on Flash is all over the board. I don't really have much data on Cloud, Shqueeves or Arin. I'm leaning eliminator on Crimsn, Stick, and Dalinar. And I think I choose Dalinar. He provided a credible reason to vote on Araris, which would make a lot of sense for an eliminator trying to capitalize on the advantage that their favor with Wilson bought. If necessary, I will change my vote to prevent the eliminators from taking control of the lynch. But I think Dalinar is a good bet.

I will admit that I am basically dictating Yitzi's lynch today. But I have absolutely no intention of dictating anything else in the future. I dislike dictatorships as much as the next guy, and this is definitely a one-time thing. To your second question, yes, you could lynch me, and it would not constitute a critical blow to the village. But it would still be an inconvenience to me, so I would request that you refrain from lynching me. If it's any comfort though, I don't anticipate that I will be counterclaimed ever.

And for my next trick! It's time to change things up a little. 6 - Demons Run Requiem faced the Dakhor, mind racing. Everything was going wrong. The Dakhor fought the Elantrians. This was not a simple physical reality; it represented a much vaster conflict. In the cognitive realm, Rayse was turning the powers of Devotion and Dominion against each other, tearing the two shards apart. Murdering their vessels. Requiem had travelled to the time before Devotion and Dominion had perished. He had travelled to the exact time and place where gods were going to die. Requiem sidestepped a charging Dakhor, blocking the monster's blow off his forearms. He wore the discarded gauntlets of a dead Arelon soldier, which he had altered. They had acquired the telltale mirror-like surface given by the first reshaping, and they were hard enough to weather the blows of the Dakhor. Otherwise, he was unarmed. He needed to find a way to deal with the Dakhor. The creatures were completely blood-crazed, so probably most forms of distraction were out the window. These creatures were of Dominion... Perhaps that intent could be used against them. Hmm... His thoughts were interrupted by a suprise arrival. Behind the Dakhor Requiem faced, several people entered the physical realm, heralded by a burst of displacement-induced wind. It was the rest of the group who had remained in the cognitive realm, and the hooded man himself. Hood wore a look of unadulterated rage, and as he landed he delivered the Dakhor a kick that cracked bone. For a moment, the new arrivals held off the Dakhor, fighting them back. An instant before it happened, Requiem saw something in the shade-world. A movement in the cognitive realm, like a ripple across the surface of a previously calm ocean. Then the dam holding the ocean at bay exploded into a thousand pieces. The walls lit up all at once, blinding him for a moment. The Elantrians seemed to be rejuvenated, the fires quenched, their bodies healed, and their skin glowing just as brightly as the walls. And the demons fled. “Follow them!” the cloaked man commanded. Strider and the others ran to the streets in pursuit. “Let’s hunt some Dakhor.” With that, Cloak started chasing after the fleeing Dakhor, a look of fury still etched across his face. 7- Divine Wrath There were no Dakhor in sight. It looked, for a moment, like there was peace. But of course, there was no peace. In the distance, Requiem could hear them: “Ex-ter-minate! Ex-ter-minate!” Daleks. Odium's perfect soldiers, devoid of anything but hatred for everything. Requiem ran towards the sounds. By the time he reached them, it was too late. Eobard was long dead. Requiem searched the city to find the others. He found Hood, cradling a woman he didn't recognize. She wasn't breathing. "Hood... Who is that?" he asked. Hood didn't answer. The dead woman had a mark tattooed on her arm... Aon Aon. Requiem's eyes widened. "Is that... Is that Aona?" He asked incredulously. "Shadows... Rayse actually killed her." He bowed his head. Beneath the surface, he was still trying to analyze the situation. What did it say about Hood that he grieved so strongly for Aona? He would have had to have known Aona before the shattering, and cared deeply for her... Requiem was no expert on the time before the shattering, but only one person came to mind. Could this mysterious hooded man be Skai, vessel of Dominion? Requiem didn't know the answer. And he didn't think it would be wise to disturb Hood a second time. Could any of this be stopped? Odium was going to splinter Dominion. And then he was going to travel to Threnody, and splinter Ambition. And then he would desolate Roshar. What's more, Odium already had done those things. History was already written. Not on my watch. History could be changed. Time could be rewritten. From a nonlinear, non-subjective viewpoint - time was like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff. At least eighty percent of the time, creating a time paradox didn't divide by zero and destroy the universe. All he needed was a plan to defeat Rayse. 8 - An Ambitious Course Requiem stood atop the Atad mountains, standing waste-deep in Devotion's shardpool. The first sliver of the sun was just starting to creep over the horizon in the east. The others were still in Elantris as far as he could tell. And the Daleks were still terrorizing the city. It would be good to put a stop to that. Requiem tapped into the second reshaping. This one was significantly less expensive than the first reshaping, but he still wouldn't have been able to do what he was about to do without some help from Devotion's shardpool. He changed the entire mountain, dramatically altering the way the rock would interact with sound. Because rock and not a pure material, the effects were not permanent. The reshaping would wear off in just a few minutes. Now, to attract the attention of an evil god of hatred. Across Elantris, a deep pitched bell sounded, reverberating off every surface, and then slowly fading into the air. It was the exact same knell that rang incessantly in the shade-world on Threnody. "Daleks!!!" a voice thundered from the mountaintops, amplified beyond natural proportions. Requiem winced. At this rate, he would give himself hearing damage. Still, he could get a new body if he needed it. "Daleks!!!" he repeated, "Up here!!!" For a moment, Requiem heard nothing but the ringing in his ears. Then, scattered across the city, voices. "I-den-tify yourseelf! I-den-tify yourseelf!!!" The Daleks were lifting off into the air and slowly gathering around the mountain, like a flock of very ugly birds. Requiem soon faced the entire armada of Daleks, suspended in the air surrounding the mountain peak he stood upon. "You know who I am!!!" Requiem shouted. "I'M THE DOCTOR!!!" EX-TER-MINATE!!!! EX-TER-MINATE!!!! EX-TER-MINATE!!!! A wave of death hit Requiem from all sides as the Daleks fired. Requiem died instantly and his body was promptly reduced to ashes. "...and, hello again!" Requiem said, emerging from the shardpool, unharmed, and for some reason wearing a bowtie. "Miss me?" Another volley of death lasers converged on Requiem, disintegrating his body. "You really ought to stop doing that," he said, emerging from the shardpool a second time. This time, the Daleks held their fire. "And now that's over with... None of you know what to do now. So you're going to phone your leader and ask for help." The Daleks hovered in front of him silently, considering Requiem's words. Their solitary blue eyes were all trained on him. Then the lead Dalek's eye turned a deep red, and red lightning crackled around it. Odium's voice emananted from the Dalek. "YOU." Rayse said. "WHY HAVE YOU COME HERE?" "I don't suppose you'd be willing to just call it quits and leave right now, would you?" The Daleks opened fire again, killing Requiem again. He emerged a moment later from the shardpool. "I assume that was a no. Unsurprising. In that case... I'm here to kill you." Odium laughed at this. There was something truly disconcerting about a laugh that didn't have a trace of happiness in it. "NOBODY HERE CAN CHALLENGE ME. I HAVE DEFEATED AONA, AND I WILL DEFEAT SKAI. ALL THE THREADS OF THE FUTURE ARE VISIBLE BEFORE ME, AND I SEE NONE OF THEM IN WHICH YOU CAN STOP ME." "Yes, well. The thing about seeing the future is, there's always the possibility that somebody else can see it better than you. Such as... Ambition." "AMBITION IS NOT HERE, AND IS NO MATCH FOR MY POWER REGARDLESS." "Yes, Ambition is not here. Ambition is on Threnody, to be exact." "SO THAT IS WHERE AMBITION HIDES... THANK YOU, MORTAL. YOU HAVE DONE ME A SERVICE. I WILL BE VISITING THRENODY, ONCE SKAI IS DEAD." "No, you won't. Thing is-- and please bear with me, because this gets a bit complicated-- I originate from a time in the future where you've already splintered Ambition. The relevant point of that is that my... Condition, is a result of being bound to one of Ambition's splinters. And with my connection to the now living shard of Ambition, I've just called for backup. Ambition should arrive on Sel soon." "BY THE TIME AMBITION ARRIVES, DOMINION WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF. AMBITION WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIGHT ME ALONE." "Correct! But wait! There's more! First, I'm standing in the middle of a shardpool! This is the nexus of Devotion's power, and Devotion is very, very cross with you right now. And second, I've literally been shouting this whole conversation from the mountaintops. And below us, there's a whole city full of people positively seething with the power of Devotion. If all those people verbally consent to it, the power of this shardpool can be unleashed against you. You will be fighting both Devotion and Dominion at once. And before you can gain the upper hand, Ambition will join the fray. And third, you can't run away from this, because your vessel is stuck in the physical realm right now, infiltrating Hood's party under the alias "Wanderer." I took the liberty of scanning the spiritual DNA of some of the people in our group. I know that you have other agents infiltrating our group. This won't be over until all your agents are dealt with. But for now... Checkmate. Your move." TL;DR: I'm the Doctor. I had far, far too much fun revealing that in my RP. I have two abilities. The first is an ability to scan people's spiritual DNA. This is basically the opposite of what a sheriff role does in a typical mafia game, because I get a guilty result on the Godfather (Odium), but I don't get a guilty result on any of the other mafia if I scan them. The second ability is a passive power that makes it so that killing me won't do what you want it to do (time lords being able to regenerate and all that). This is why I don't really care about revealing myself. I decided not to reveal immediately, because suggesting the Yitzi lynch without claiming let me gauge people's reactions. I venture to say that my plan worked in that capacity, because in waiting to reveal, I let Asterion soft-clear themselves by voting on Yitzi. So good job, Asterion. If there are any protective roles (ironically the one called "Doctor" can't protect other players), I recommend they consider protecting Asterion, because they are all but confirmed to be villager. But at this point, I think I've allowed enough time for information gathering. Plus I'm getting bored. Plus, I'd feel a lot better about this if the vote was closed to the possibility of vote manipulators. Hence, going public. I nearly revealed my identity on accident, in the early game, by displaying my ignorance of the essence marks. Because Ecthelion never told me what they were. This is why I was watching very carefully to see if anybody else did the same. And so when Yitzi made his remark about essence marks, I scanned him. And his spiritual DNA is glowing red with the power of Odium. To Yitzi, I'm kind of sorry about this, because this feels like I got really lucky to find you this early. So. I hereby declare any discussion on today's lynch to be over. Please don't let that be the end of all discussion, however. You should just be discussing tomorrow's lynch, not today's. @cloudjumper @Yitzi2 @asterion137 @StrikerEZ @BrightnessRadiant @Sami @Manukos @Megasif @Clanky @OrlokTsubodai @Aonar Faileas @Roadwalker @Alvron @A Joe in the Bush @Daniyah @Araris Valerian

On the bright side (no pun intended there I swear), I'm pretty sure I know at least one vote manipulator who will support lynching BR. In any case, I will own to being somewhat surprised that the unaligned Alethi are now supportive of lynching a Son of Honor.

Well, it looks like time has come to cast votes. I've been thinking, and while I will probably have more to say later, for now, I think I'm most suspicious of Yitzi. This is because in the early game, he made a remark that really made it look like he didn't know what the essence marks were, when everyone but two players recieved said marks. And one of those two is the big bad of this game. I have a feeling I know who the non-evil person is who didnt't get a mark (because the person in question has a spanreed and I have a PM with them), so if I'm right, that leaves Yitzi as an evil role. I will pull up the relevant quote later when I'm not in my phone, if nobody else does in the meantime. I'll also do an RP later. But now, goodnight everyone.

Okay. First of all, I would like to report that Stick is an Alethi unaligned. Second of all, BrightnessRadiant. It looks like the Alethi/Sons of Honor have literally every advantage in this game, and clearly I have absolutely no control over the lynch, so this vote is probably pointless. But not voting would be boring; I'd sooner not go quietly.

It's an abbreviation for lynch-or-lose. LyLo is the scenario where one incorrect lynch will result in the eliminators outnumbering the village. This isn't quite a textbook LyLo situation because there are neutrals who could theoretically give victory to either faction. However, I'm guessing the neutrals won't intervene, because they don't have much reason to do so that I am aware of. So the upshot is, it's kind of important to choose the lynch correctly.

What would we discuss in the doc that it would be critical for a Ghostblood to not know about? Lately we haven't even talked very much in the doc. The only thing that comes to mind is if we scanned and found a Ghostblood. Which admittedly is an advantage, because I'd rather they didn't know if we found a Ghostblood. So fair point, it does advantage us somewhat. But I think you can agree that it isn't really priority for a Parshendi to kill a Ghostblood unless that brings us closer to dealing with the Sons of Honor. Because right now the Sons of Honor are a massive threat to the Parshendi.

I find it mildly of interest that you automatically assume that there is a role called Odium in this game. And to a lesser extent that Odium is one of the two who didn't get a mark. The writeups do reference Odium, but I kind of figured that he was going to be the big bad behind the scenes, not an actual player controlled role in this game. I understand that this isn't necessarily suspicious. This could just be you speculating (especially if we ever can confirm that there isn't an Odium role). But I will still point this out as potentially alignment indicative.

Allow me to speak candidly. Unless there is some kind of understanding we can reach, I have literally no reason to want Jondesu dead. He will not in the foreseeable future be attacking my people, furthermore his continued existence prevents the Alethi from trying to shove the lynch on an unaligned Parshendi. Please, do not bother voicing the sentiment that "lynching a Ghostblood is good for everybody" because that simply isn't true. I may be working towards peace, but I'm not a blind altruist. The one and only reason I would support lynching Jondesu would be as part of an agreement for mutual peace. I would have cause to lynch Jondesu only if doing so would result in the death of a Son of Honor. Similarly, I understand that, according to your win condition, lynching a Son of Honor is not your priority. However, if the cooperation of the Parshendi means anything at all to you, you are going to agree to do this anyway, just as I would agree to lynch Jondesu even if it isn't actually in my interest to do so. If you are going to work towards peace, you ought to accept this condition of peace. It's a reasonable request, if you understand the difficult position we are in. If you aren't going to work towards peace, pretending to do so won't do you any good. I commend Elbereth for being honest about her intentions.

I did discuss the lynch. I just wanted time to think about it first, and come up with a decision. You yourself were just recently encouraging people to think for themselves, no? The point of voting isn't only to give you a read on me, it's also to make the most informed decision I possibly can. Which sometimes means taking some time to form an opinion. I don't have to make 100% of my posts be completely game relevant. If I want to discuss items, I can and will do so with impunity. Provided I sufficiently discuss the lynch in other posts (which I did), there is no reason why I shouldn't discuss less relevant things as well. I saw things differently. If that is not yet evident. Nevertheless, your argument has been noted, and will be taken into due consideration if future lynches of a similar nature come up.

5 - Elantris Everything seemed to happen as a blur. The Dakhor creature attacked their group, and one of their party drew a sword on it. Next thing Requiem knew, one of their party was dead, and the Dakhor was fighting amidst them. Then a sharp crack punctuated the air. The Dakhor lay sprawled across the ground, lifeless, a bullet hole in it's head. Requiem never really read Silverlight's history books very carefully, but he didn't think Sel was supposed to have firearms yet. The gunshot had come from the doorway of a shop. The newcomer stepped out, dropping their weapon. "I always hate using guns. Feels like cheating." Cheating? Hardly. Tanavast had tried to fight fair, and look where that got him. People didn't fight to figure out who was better at fighting, they fought for a cause. Still, in Requiem's experience, guns were rarely the right answer to a conflict. You couldn't use a gun to fight Rayse; the only real weapon was your mind. "Anyway, we have to get to Elantris as fast as possible. We need to rendezvous with the others still arriving in from the Cognitive Realm. He wanted me to give each of you something, but there isn't time. I'll have to take them with us." Strider revealed a box that looked eerily similar to the one which had contained the hooded man's Essence Marks. That was odd. If their destination was Elantris, why meet in Kae? Requiem wished the hooded man would be less cryptic about his plans. But the only way to get to the bottom of this would be to go along with them. It could be a trap, but at least it would be an informative one. And so he followed the others to Elantris.

You should understand that I may not be alive to vote on Jondesu next cycle. Fair warning. But yes, I would absolutely accept those terms.

My kills? I don't have any real control over any kills in this game. All I have is an aptitude for talking a lot. And the good fortune to still be alive, despite multiple understandable attempts to silence me. In any case, I don't really care how that is accomplished. I would support lynching Jondesu next cycle if somebody doesn't blade him, but it would be more convenient for everybody if somebody did blade him.

@Jondesu come on, vote on Brightness We'll kill you tomorrow regardless, but I'd rather the Sons didn't have victory handed to them on a silver platter, if it's all the same.

Well, I applaud you for asking questions to basically everyone that are liable to give us some proper reads on people. To the first question, what I hoped to get from a discussion on items was: time. You are quite right, I deliberately chose that discussion topic as a safe one. I wanted to be present in discussion (and thus receive gold), but I wasn't ready to discuss the lynch yet. And apart from items and lynching, what is there to discuss? This is a blackout game, so I can't hardly make a post discussing the implications of roles, which is what most people do when they don't want to cast a vote yet. To the second question, I wouldn't call it a significant turnaround. By your own reasoning, you've played a significant number of games with me, and therefore you could confirm that I am frequently disparaging D1 lynches, but that I basically always cast a vote by the end of the cycle, regardless. I don't think it's really contradictory to say that I don't like D1 lynches but that I still participate in them because they are necessary. And yes, my vote does have something to do with the players currently up for the lynch. Namely, I thought Straw was a better lynch target than Cloud, which is exactly how I explained my vote at the time I cast it. I believe players ought to consider the impact of their vote before casting a vote. If I felt strongly about another candidate, I would have voted on them. But otherwise, it makes sense to look at who is actually up for lynch, and choose between them. I agree that Straw's actions (or lack thereof) didn't exactly constitute damning evidence, but you have to work with what you have on a D1 lynch. Are you really that sure that Cloud or Roadwalker would have made a better lynch? That aside... Hm. I think I'll make an RP post soon. Gold is nice. Also RP is part of what makes it Sanderson Elimination, and not just Elimination. I'll read up on the prior cycles and do more analysis on the next day cycle.

Not so. Straw transferred to the physical realm like most of the players. So they will not be dying to an inactivity filter. Nor is Straw really inactive, more just lurking, by the looks of it. It's not a perfect lynch by any means, but between Cloud and Straw, I'd rather it be Straw, from what I've seen from both of them. EDIT: Ninja'd by Alvron. If Straw warned us about being busy in advance, I might want to reconsider.

Hmmm... So we are possibly at LyLo now? Well then. I'm quite sorry that I've been low on activity, and it probably doesn't look good that I am taking an interest in voting on a cycle that is likely LyLo. But... Is there something big I've missed that somehow clears Stick? Because if not, my prior suspicions still stand, and I think Stick still ought to be lynched. Just because I've been poorly informed about recent events, doesn't mean that the early game evidence about Stick is invalid. Also I'm a little curious about the way Araris voted last cycle, if just because I don't really see their reasoning for it. But I'll overlook that for the time being unless somebody else validates this as a reasonable suspicion. Hmmm... Some things to read through. Hopefully I'll have more to say later, when the day cycle comes around.

Personally, I would rather lynch a lurker than someone who made a poorly thought out suggestion. Unpopular ideas are usually pretty NAI. Lurking, on the other hand, is a valid eliminator tactic. It may be early in the game, and thus difficult to tell who is actually lurking and who is just temporarily preoccupied, but still. I think I'd prefer to lynch Straw than Cloud. Also @everyone please vote. I know D1 lynches suck but it's better to make a decision, so that we have real discussion. EDIT: Ninja'd by Orlok. At this point, that means my vote ties the lynch... Let me read up on what happens on a tied lynch real quick. EDIT2: Apparently tied votes result in a random outcome. In that case, my vote stands.

No, I don't think I did say that, actually. At least, not in this game. I might have said something like that in a different game.
