    Hey, PK, if you could un-red that, just to be safe, that would be lovely. I know you're just quoting him, but it's not in a quote box, so I'd like to be careful.
  2. Magestar
    Yeah, that's what I was assuming. Looks like that won't be happening, though. Unfortunately, that seems like one of the most likely reasons. Ah well. I can take that. I was actually going to put a vote on myself for those reasons, but I can see that doing so will not be necessary. In the interest of spreading around the danger, I'll vote on QueenSteph, who is also a Vintish Nobleperson. And also... Alv. Hmm. I think that's all for now. edit; Are all these votes on Aman and DA actually doing anything? I'm fairly certain that it's just increasing the likelihood of something bad happening to them, rather then decreasing the likelihood of it happening to anyone else. Any number of people can be taken on the horns, and loading people with votes won't spread the Master's DP. I think. edit 2; ... I'm going to have to agree with Wilson about spreading votes. Better not to chance it on removing votes, especially since Alv might not be able to remove his.

    Lol. Not a game goes by without someone getting a weird feeling about me. Don't worry, it's perfectly normal, however, side effects may include soul consuming paranoia, intense feelings of doubt, and unfounded accusations. As far as expelling people goes... I'm a little concerned about it, actually. Since we neither seem to be able to get everyone to vote nor everyone to abstain, we're stuck in a bit of a precarious position. I'm considering voting on some random people, simply in order to spread the DP around. I don't want to see people randomly getting offed just because some people need tuition reductions. If we could restrict votes to people in the Golden Pony, that would be great, actually. Do we know what happens in the case of a no vote? I feel like it's probably nothing, but I'm unsure. Lovely. -sigh- If someone could tell me what exactly I'm doing that incites suspicions like this, that would be great.

    The Mage wiped his brow. After that first month, he was just glad he hadn't been taken on the Horns again. What an awful experience. This month, however, promised to be in many ways just the same as the last. Long, tiring hours of study and work; brief, glimmering moments of rest and relaxation; long days, short nights, and the occasional euphoric moment when you realized that you were grading well. The Mage was quite happy with the direction things were going - things were, indeed, looking up. Unfortunately, rumors of the Skindancers were still flying through the halls of the Arcanum. Someone had reputedly gone insane, although, with the workload here, that wasn't entirely surprising. The Mage had, at first, wondered if he would go insane here - there were tales of such things - but he had comforted himself that any loss of sanity would likely be an improvement on his part. Who knows? Someday, he might begin to approach sanity again, from the other side! Though, it would be wise to be quiet about such matters, in places such as this. The Mage worried that they took the matter of sanity too seriously here - any mention of things beyond the 'normality' of the psyche could get you in dangerous places. Best not to mention his quest, then.

    I would agree that Silverblade probably isn't a Skindancer. I think it's most likely that he was sabotaged - it seems unlikely that he went insane naturally C1, assuming I understand how insanity works. Erm... Which of the two ideas is correct? 5 EP, or 2?
  6. Magestar
    Yeah, I realized this by the end of my post. I probably should have included that. I will take my vote off of Alv if he takes his vote off of me. @Alvron. But I'd rather risk distributing the damage then I would having it all get dumped on me. Thanks for the analysis of these things, Rand. It's increasing my understanding of the game.
  7. Magestar
    Seriously. -sigh- Well, if you come up with a better reason to vote on me then 'To Reduce My Fee's', please let me know. I'm going to vote on Alvron, because he A; doesn't seem to be taking this game seriously at all. B; because I'd like to spread out the votes and not get someone - especially me - expelled first turn. Although I'd like to see some confirmation on the whole one vote lynch thing. C; I'd love the tuition reduction. Every little bit counts, especially since my tuition has been inflated purely based on the reputation of my social class! How ungracious! I was also tempted by this, purely for the coolness factor of going insane... And escaping! Definitely one of the cooler things you can do. But I'm not sure it's worth it. I am in favor of voting equally on everyone, especially since I could totally see some unhappy player coming in and sniping someone out of spite. Alvron.... It's almost never a good idea to give the Elim's an opening like that. It's like giving them an extra kill - admittedly, it would be a pretty difficult thing to do while still seeming blameless, but considering how hard it is to kill people in this game I'm not sure that it's a likelihood we should even allow. Besides, if even one villager decides to go vigilante on someone, that could still lead to problems. There are some good reasons around for not voting on anyone, and just having a no-vote, but I'm worried that some people wouldn't remove there votes in time. Alvron... In the end, I'll probably follow the majority in this one; I'm not going to leave my vote on Alv if no one else is voting, and I'm not going to lower the number of people with votes on them if everyone is getting voted on. This post is sort of ramble-y, because I wrote it as I was reading through the thread, and my opinions may have changed while I was writing it... Whatever. I'll probably RP later.

    As The Mage neared the Library, he pondered the meaning of life. In truth, the meaning of life, or rather in life, is where you find it. The Mage had always quested for knowledge, for as they say, knowledge is power. Knowledge is the lever used to move the world... The Mage entered the Library, and began perusing the shelves for books on each Arcanum Field. He already knew a good deal about each field, but he wanted to know what he was getting into here. Knowledge... After a moments thought, The Mage added a book on the Fae, and a more specific book about Skindancers to his pile. These would doubtless be helpful in the coming days. The ability to find the Skindancers could be invaluable, and anything he could learn about them would help. Knowledge... The Mage flipped through each of the books, writing things down as he went. Always good to keep notes in situations like these. It would not do to forget key information at a critical point. Knowledge... The Mage spent hours in the library, not only studying for each and every subject, but also learning all he could about the university. It's origins, it's history - fascinating topics, in and of themselves. Learning about skindancers. These creatures were dangerous, powerful, frightening - even more so for having infiltrated such a place as this! The knowledge, the power they must possess. But the teachers, the students here - The Mage had no doubt that, with those who called the university home working together, the Skindancers could easily be defeated. Knowledge... The Mage smiled. Now all he needed was a place to stand. The Mage may or may not reflect my personal opinions.

    I can also confirm I'm not the Inquisitor.

    Chancellor Varda frowned down at him, displeasure obvious in the look of his eyes, frustration blatant in the lines on his face, and resignation inherent in set of his jaw. “A joke in poor taste, then. Very well, student. You may go. Be more careful in the future.” The Mage bowed deeply, flourishing a bit at the end, and spun on his heel. Face forwards, don't look back, almost to the door... The Mage opened the door quietly, shut it discretely, looked about, and sprinted down the hall. This was a place he did not want to be. Not now, not before, nor anytime soon. As he began to run out of breath, and was far enough away from that dreadful place that he felt he could stop, The Mage paused. He shook himself, trying to pull the parts of his shredded ego back together. Being brought on 'The Horns' was a small matter, no doubt. It must happen to everyone, now and again. True, this was his first month, but this was unlikely to set records of any kind. If it had happened to him, well, it could happen to anyone! The Mage shook himself one more time, and smiled. Having firmly reentered the universe about himself, and restored his self confidence through alteration of viewpoint, The Mage was ready to begin. Now, he just had to figure out what he was supposed to be doing. Well. That is not exactly how I saw that playing out. Being brought on the Horns C1? Not a great start. Still, I'm fairly confident that this game will be thoroughly enjoyable. Lashings are interesting, I guess. I'll admit that the first thing I thought when I saw them was that I didn't want it to happen to me. I didn't really think of it as an effective weapon, although I can see how it could be used like that. What I really like, at least right now, is the 'Formal Apology'. It looks so amusing to RP that I'm not sure how much I'd mind it happening. I might have more to say later... Who knows?
  11. Magestar
    I would like to request the tag, Request Tag. As it appears that the request to request tags is in the plural, I assume I can ask for more than one! I further request, therefore, the tag; "Mage is probably Evil".
  12. Magestar
    In the very least, he should have said he walked off to slay Rae. Then he'd have an excuse. Unless Rae also doesn't rhyme with slay, and I've been pronouncing it wrong this whole time. Or Rhea also somehow rhymes with slay. Either way, it's more fun to say slay.
  13. Magestar
    With any luck, I'll actually have time to play this one. To be completely honest, though, I'm making time for this. I've been waiting for this game for ages. Although not as long as some... I am, of course, Magestar. Who else would I be?
  14. Magestar
    Hey, at least my post had more than one word in it! Rae's gonna die...
  15. Magestar
    Ouch. I don't have a reason to be suspicious of you beyond those already stated, so I waxed poetic instead. I thought it was a rather nice turn of phrase, though.
  16. Magestar
    I do, in fact, still exist. As evidence of my existence and in order to perpetuate my ability to interact with the material world; Rae.

    This is probably going to be my last SE game for a bit. It's getting to the time of year where I'm going to be very busy, and I honestly just don't have the time. I'd love not to go inactive... but I really don't have anything to say about the game, either. I've bee paying attention, to some extent, but I don't have time to make a detailed analysis. I'm somewhat suspicious of Lopen, partially because just a quick read through of the cycles made me feel like he's being a little off. Maybe a bit forced. Idk. Definitely gut read, not a lot more. You can tell I've really been inactive when I don't realize I've been voted on until I look for a vote tally. -sigh- Anyway, I hate myself for being this inactive, but I think this game is proving to me that I don't have time for SE these days. Sorry guys. Deal with me as you will.
  18. Magestar
    To be honest, that's fairly accurate. I've been kind of busy, and honestly, I just haven't been as invested in SE lately. >.> I don't know what it is. I have actually been paying some attention to the game, despite my lack of posting, but I just don't feel like I've anything to contribute.
  19. Magestar
    I don't honestly think that you're the Inquisitor, Wilson. Like I said, I don't have enough info to have any suspicions of my own. Other Palatable things. I am paranoid of you because it's you. Sure. That's why I'm even considering you right now; However, you should note that the main reason my suspicions of you are as low as they are is because you're you. You don't strike me as the kind of person to pull a switch in your philosophies in order to deflect suspicion. Heck, I don't think most people would deflect a D1 lynch in order to defend themselves as the Inquisitor. It doesn't make a lot of sense. However, I think you bear... Watching? Idk. I think it's interesting that you were against a D1 lynch considering you're you, and therefore I've flagged you to watch, because I want to hear more. I didn't have time to do anything but scan your reasoning, which is why my post was like a one sentence blurb. Herbs and Such. However, last game I backed off of you because of the whole 'You're just saying that 'cause of I'm Wilson blah blah blah' thing, you were an elim. Surprise! So, forgive me for being a little suspicious of you. Rosemary. Thinking about it, I just realized that there's supposed to be only one elim. Which makes me basically discard you as a suspicion. But I'd like to address one more thing; I'm honestly not that scared of you. You're rep doesn't matter to me. You're definitely a good manipulator, but you yourself have said you don't do that anymore. I'm fine with that, and what I have seen of you – since I don't think I've been in any of the games where you went full out – isn't leaving me overawed. I'm not paranoid of you. I'm actually rather bored with your overreactions. (clarifier; When I say your rep doesn't matter, that doesn't mean I'm ignoring your past statements and philosophies, just that I'm not going to expect more from you than should be expected yada yada yada.) Thyme Back to in-game things. Wow, that cycle flew by. I don't have much to say about what happened; I need to re-read the cycle and such. Plus I'm tired. And so I made a post about Wilson instead of in-game things. Mint Wilson, if you're vaguely offended by this post, I apologize. I've tried to tone it back a bit since I realized I likely over reacted in my post responding to your overreaction. I am, however, as I stated, tired, and don't really feel like an attempt to make this whole post more palatable.
  20. Magestar
    I... don't have nearly enough time to respond to all of this. Good grief, this thread exploded with activity! A few quick notes; I'm supportive of the D1 lynch, and I'm actually really surprised this is being brought up, especially by Wilson of all people. It makes me think it's likely to have some merit to it, but it's also vaguely bringing up my suspicions. Purely instinctual, but IDK. I don't have any suspicions of my own as of right now, but I'll see what I can do by tonight. I'm going to be away nearly all day again today, so we'll see.
  21. Magestar
    Well, as far as Elim strats go, I might not be the best person to ask. I only get really fired up with strategies when I'm under suspicion, or feel some broad and obtuse complicated plan is needed to continue. Typically a conversion role will start converting people fairly quickly, and strategies on who is the best person to convert vary as broadly as flowers of the field. Typically, someone unnoticeable, or in the mid range makes sense, but doing what the village expects is rarely a good idea. I basically killed randomly unless I thought someone was onto me, which was fairly easy since I had multiple kills. This game did sort of sneak up on me, so I'm going to take some time to read over things real quick. Another unfortunate note; A number of all day events have recently sprung upon me, so I'm unable to accurately predict my activity. I apologize, and hope I'll still be able to be somewhat active.
  22. Magestar
    Huh. Well, we won. That was fun. If I could have done one thing, I would have been more thoughtful about my suspicions, and more active. Good job everyone.
  23. Magestar
    Eh. It wasn't a mega post, it was just rather large. There's a difference. Again, it was largely a lot of exposition on things. I basically explained my vote on Sart and questioned the votes on me, but those didn't go anywhere, and I never ended up being able to vote on Sart. The other things I said aren't super relevant now, and my memory isn't good enough to remember the whole post. *shrug I do admit that I dislike having a neutral read on me. Neutral is just too darn close to bad, ok!? In all seriousness, I don't feel like I've put as much into this game as I could have been. It's unfortunate, but I keep getting busier. And yet I keep signing up for games. -sigh- Really? As I said above, I've felt actually... Less of myself this game. How odd. I'm not sure whether to take the "He's the same all the time" thing as a complement or not. Do I always seem village, neutral, or Evil? Yeah... I have to really take all my reads on you with a grain of salt. I've looked over your posts and I'm not sure that I can reasonable found a suspicion on you. Thus and thusly, you don't have my vote on you.
  24. Magestar
    What do you want me to explain? (I had a rather long post typed up at rollover last day cycle, but the timer ran out before I could post it. >.> It is now lost to the mists of time. From memory; I was going to vote on Sart for self preservation, comment on the other posts that had cropped up, and a few other things.) I don't have a ton of time right now, but I'll hopefully be able to say more tomorrow.
  25. Magestar
    TBH, I didn't really put a lot of work into the character, and didn't have time to develop him in LG31, for obvious reasons. I seriously considered having Carmichael ride in on a koloss. But that is, perhaps, a story for another day. Besides, the whole David Agemtsar was to good to pass up. Even if we do both end up being villagers.
