Straw

Lynch or lose. It's when you have to lynch an eliminator or the village loses.

TBH I feel decently good about Lotus due to their last second vote. An elim wouldn't have any reason to switch there.

I totally thought that was a mistimed hammer...

I was meaning next cycle for Vapor.

How would you feel about a Vapor lynch if we could get more people on it?

Mm, that was confusing phrasing on my part. I was meaning better for a lynch than Fifth, who I have a village read on. what

With Vapor I've been in a constant internal debate between them being an elim who's using new player cred to get away with stuff and them being legitimately confused. I have an unexamined null read on Devotary, which is better than my read on Fifth. So Devotary.

I'm confused as to what you're saying here? It doesn't really make any sense to say that since I was an elim with him, I should find his actions NAI? Not always. Clearing people is important for analysis, since it allows you to look in a smaller group of players. I don't think we attacked her for being confused, we attacked her for placing votes for no reason. It's not about seeing whether it's 100% coming from a villager or an elim, it's about figuring out which is more likely.

Noted.

He was switching back onto Mint from Mist.

Yeah, sorry about the inactivity. I feel strongest about a Striker lynch at the moment, but I'd prefer Mist over Fifth or Frozen Mint. Mist, unless a Striker train comes out of nowhere. Random.

TJ Shade and Elbereth are both correct. There is no vote minimum. Ties are randomly determined. Squires retain their powers. PMs are closed by default, but will be opened once a Radiant with Illumination uses a charge. For example: D1: No PMs N1: No PMs. Radiant uses Illumination. D2: PMs open. N2: PMs open. D3: No PMs. Radiant uses Illumination. N3: PMs open. D4: No PMs N4: No PMs.

Factions: Knights Radiant Mechanics: Knights Radiant Surges: Action Resolution and Information: Basics: Welcome to Long Game 67! This is a rerun of Long Game 13, so go check that out for an idea of how this game might work! There have been a few fairly minor changes, which are listed along with the clarifications in this document. Please let me know if you have any questions. RP Background: You're a group of refugees planning to make your way across the Shattered Plains, with the goal of getting to the Oathgate and teleporting to Urithiru. On the first day of the game, you will be departing the camps. The game will start a little over a week from now, on July 1st at 1:00 PM EST. 1:00 PM EST will probably be the normal rollover time. This game should not end up overlapping with QF45 or LG66. Player List: Spectator List: Quick Links:

Hmm, what's your argument against TJ now?

I could go for a Truthwatcher vote as well. Their case on Gears has been very strange. They seem to be trying to throw suspicion onto Gears' reads by saying that they're manipulative and artificial, which I disagree with. I'm very confused as to why they voted on Sparkrunner rather than Gears if they're so suspicious of him.

Hmm, looking back through Mint's posts I don't find much worthy of suspicion. I'll put a tentative vote on StrikerEZ. The way they acted towards TJ was odd to say the least, and they particularly pinged me when they said they'd vote on TJ regardless of Pyro's flip. I'll review their posts again.

We'll be getting four deaths this cycle, right? I think Experience and Sparkrunner have been the only people to never vote. For the lynch, I'm leaning towards Ventyl, but I need to read through Mint's stuff again. I'll be back to do that in around a hour. As someone who's usually pretty defensive, I don't like Striker's defensiveness argument.

Some reads, as of now: (omitting null reads as usual) Eternum (Strong Village) Eternum is my strongest village read at the moment, even if I disagree with them about TJ. They've had good reads and read processes in my opinion, and their thought process on Vapor specifically was good. I also felt like their thoughts on the Silber lynch came from a good mindset. Frozen Mint (Mild Village) I think their thought process on Gears last cycle felt natural and good. I disagree with people saying their Silber vote was suspicious, as they had previously listed Silber as one of their suspicions. I agree with their thoughts on Vapor. They do seem a bit paranoid though, but I'll have to see how that progresses. Gears (Mild Village) I feel like their analysis and contributions to the thread have been useful. I haven't loved their lack of village reads, but that's just us having different playstyles I think, and they seem decently willing to trust people. I think their contributions in the thread today have been fine, even if they've given fewer straight lists of reads. They've had some fair vote analysis though. Matrim's Dice (Very Mild Village) Their initial vote on Ventyl at the start of this cycle was strange, but just felt like they weren't used to that much joking around. I've felt like they've been pretty NAI this cycle, and I'm mainly giving them village cred since they were good last cycle. I'd like to take a closer look at them though. Mist (Very Mild Village) The one thing I noticed about Mint was the elim team size thing. I felt like it was rather inaccurate to say there was a possibility of seven elims in a game with no roles, and I don't think an elim would overstate the number that much. Other than that, I've gotten pretty much nothing from their posts. They do seem slightly better than the other low posters though. TJ Shade (Very Mild Village) Some people have said that they didn't like TJ's defence, but it seems fine IMO. I'd like if they could give some direct reads, however. While they've been fairly helpful, they haven't provided many. I'll be watching for that next cycle. I'll be looking at them more in the future. The Young Pyromancer (Strong Elim) As I've mentioned before, their vote on Fifth and subsequent retraction felt highly suspicious. Their repeated appeals to emotion rather than actual defenses are suspicious. They really haven't provided anything to the discussion either. I don't think they've provided any reads. I also find the fact that they're apparently fairly active in PMs to be odd, since I'd think they'd be focusing on defending themself in the thread. Vapor (??? - special circumstance) I have an elim read on basically everything Vapor has said, but it seems like they're way too suspicious to actually be an elim. I also do give them heavy village cred for their summary post near the start of this cycle, mainly due to how uncoached it felt. Basically, they seem suspicious, but also don't feel like they have any team to rely on. Hmm, feels like that's too many village reads. I should take a closer look at some of them along with my null reads.

Oh look it's the "Pyro makes an appeal to emotion" post of the day!

Pyro was trying to get you to admit you have teammates you know, since only elims know who's on their team. Not a very helpful strategy IMO. Does anyone have a vote count?

I think that if they want advice or help understanding something, they should ask in the thread instead of PMing. That way, we can see their thought process, and they'll have a wider range of responses.

What are your reads ATM?

I think it's possibly elimy, since you seemed to be playing into the view that you were being faced with accusations you couldn't argue about.

It's very odd to me how Pyro is still refusing to defend himself, despite saying he'd offer a defence later.
