Roger Elariel had been one of those that had joined the bucket brigade. Sopping wet from the rain, his sore hands moved bucket after bucket to the fire, where some other miserable soul tossed them onto the flames. Suddenly, there was an outbreak of gunfire from the barricade, followed by the yells of sentries and the demands of constables. That alone wouldn't have given Roger pause, but one of the voices was eerily familiar, slicing through the rainy haze like a knife and embedding itself into his mind. "Father!" Roger yelled and raced for the barricade, "Have you come to shoot your own son?!" But as the Elariel heir reached the barricade, the constables and the voice of his father had faded back into the mist. "Did any of you see a House Lord amongst the constables?" Roger said, faith in his sanity doubtful.

Signing up as Plato Andersen. He personally would like to make peace, but he had the misfortune to fall in love with a girl who absolutely hates the other nation. She's told him that she'll marry him if he destroys the other nation and lives to tell the tale, and he's willing to put aside his qualms about war for what he thinks is true love.

PMs don't necessarily equal information. Some players make a lot of PMs but get little info, and some use few PMs but get a lot of info.

mafia championship A Knock from Outside the Cosmere
Elenion replied to Metacognition's topic in Sanderson Elimination
That's all his foes will be seeing as he leaves them in the dust. -
You forgot one: Don't forget to role-claim to the elims N1!

Good job all! Sorry for not doing much due to IRL stuff and, well, being dead, but BR picked up the slack and got us the win. Well done BR!

@AmanuensisLast page you said that if Straw is village you would get an elim read on me. Why so, seeing as I could have voted on him back when I retracted my vote from Stink and then have been camouflaged in the bandwagon? Straw. STINK hasn't dumped my role in the thread and is sorry for extorting, so I'm ready to put my vote where it has a chance at nabbing an elim.

I agree with Drake that Mafia, at its heart, is a game of leverage (post upvoted). In the past I have betrayed players and teams, but it's always been while following a win condition of mine. When a player disregards their win condition for the sole sake of frustrating the other players, that action must be discouraged, but using leverage is not inherently bad. Take this example: STINK STINK, if you dump my role into the thread, my vote will return. I've applied leverage to STINK, and he now has an incentive to keep my role secret, but I haven't forced him to make any decision.
-
Yeah, bro, not a cool move. STINK
-
Getting those QF17 vibes: A wild STINK has appeared! STINK uses Insult! It's not very effective... Amanuensis uses Rebuttal! The wild STINK has been silenced!
-
I'm hoping you make it to the finals. Sounds like you put in a good showing!

How did that game go, BTW?

Sorry for the the low activity, @BrightnessRadiant I just had a college English class start up and I've been mainly focused on that. Plus, this game has so many pages that with the time that I do have I can't get through it all without skimming. I wouldn't plan on too much help from my direction until player death reduces activity or I get a break from essays. @AmanuensisYou say "it's probably best to lynch Yitzi first and reexamine things from there", but your vote is still on Asterion. Any particular reason why? I'm voting Yitzi, because following the suspicions of village!Aman is good, and if Aman was evil and trying to avoid voting on a teammate I'd want my vote on Yitzi in that situation too.
-
I agree with this reasoning: a misguided PC can do as much damage as a second elim kill. If the PC has suspicions they should act on them, but if not, better to defend themself than to kill at random. @Ecthelion III Please don't potentially kill your brother with Cytonics. That wouldn't be cool. I'm busy at the moment with an English 2010 course, but I'll try to be on enough to vote. Sadly, I don't think I've voted yet this game...
-
No, that wasn't you, because Randuir didn't have an action that could have gotten him killed with Cytonics. The elims killed him, but your reaction makes me think that you're village. That leaves us with 12 living players out of 17. Because of the number of players and the potential for villagers killing other villagers with Cytonics (as we've seen already), I think we have three elims currently in the game, although there might be a fourth to account for the potential of the elim killer dying to Cytonics. That gives us about three cycles that we can go without catching an elim, about a 25% chance of randomly lynching an elim, and a higher chance (albeit still a low one) of successfully using Cytonics.
-
That's a player list error, because I've had my Zinc powers implanted since N0, and I think Meta said he had Copper as well. ...and because Seonid is gone, can one of you dead elims post the links to both docs?

In the aftermath of the chaos that had resulted in Mehir's death, Boris suddenly found himself with nothing to do. That had never been a problem with him before: he had always just used the time to sleep, or drink, or drink himself to sleep. But now, something just felt wrong, missing, and Boris decided that it was time to leave his guard's position and go find what he had been missing. ***3 months later*** Boris took the stand to thunderous applause. As he did so he fingered the spike embedded in his chest and turned on his zinc, energizing the crowd even further. The crowd dominated the square, spilling out into side streets and crawling with activity like a beehive. "Ladies and gentlemen, skaa and noble, old and young, bond and free, I am here to speak to you today about the tyranny of House Venture!"

Good game, all! That was pretty darn close, and had a couple of things panned out differently I don't think an eliminator win was too far from happening. Well played to the elims, especially to @Metacognition whom I was reading village on for most of the game. Also, I want to shout out to @Manukos for being the lynchpin (no pun intended) of the village defense: choosing Sart seemingly at random to block the night Yitzi was killed, for casting the deciding vote on Sart, for denying Meta the opportunity to make the elim kill last night, and for trusting me even when I wasn't the most cleared player out there. Also to @The Flash for being an absolute wall of protection out there, and for deciding on Sart over HH to lynch. @Seonid Can we get access to the docs? I'm particularly interested in the elim doc. Also, the player list is missing my Spike and maybe another.

The 17th Shard as the Kandra Nation.
Elenion replied to Calderis's topic in General Brandon Discussion
I'm probably a third-generation user. In terms of longevity I'm a relatively recent member, but post-wise I'm about to crack the top 50 posters of all time. -
My activity should increase as I go from being in 3 games to 2, and I tend to get more active as games go on anyway. I'm keeping my vote on Straw because I'd rather see Straw lynched than Rand. Elim!Rand would not be likely to want to draw this much attention this early.
-
@Amanuensis I voted on Straw primarily because he wasn't Joe, secondarily because STINK asked me to in PM (and as somebody else said in thread a couple pages back, he has claimed neutral), and thirdly because I was about to log off but wanted to get a vote down. I haven't had much time for the thread because of LG34 still going and I'm trying to be more active in PMs than I usually am.
-
8 pages of discussion. 8 pages. Ain't nobody got time to read that! (But I did anyway.) I'm going to put my vote down on Straw to avoid alienating any Neutrals and because that's where STINK's vote is at, and STINK is reading village to me in PMs. I just spent most of my SE time writing an RP post for LG34.

The evening found Boris again at the desk in the guardroom. He was thoroughly exhausted from the events of the morning: he had woken early (for him--the rest of the guards had been already awake) and somehow with no ill effects from the alcohol he had consumed last night. After getting dressed he had delivered the speech that had taken him so many hours of the night to write. Boris had never pictured himself as a public speaker, and admittedly his speech was no literary marvel, but it had served its purpose, riling most of his fellow guards into a mob determined to kill Mehir. Unfortunately, by the time the mob had organized, it had been time to go on shift, and so the riled guardsmen had dispersed, muttering ominously. Boris had since heard most of the topics of conversation: the suspicions of Mehir's guilt, the plans for reforming the mob as the guard shift ended, the nagging suspicions that he, Boris, was actually a Venture. As he sat in the guardroom as twilight fell, Boris knew one thing: Rust and Ruin was about to break loose.

Whether or not Meta is innocent, we can consider Manukos soft-cleared, because an innocent Meta would have Hazekilled me while an evil Meta would have used the elim kill on somebody. Either way, Manukos was unrestrained from performing the elim kill against anybody he would have liked. HH: Cleared because both him and Sart were blocked the cycle that the elim kill was successfully used on Yitzi. Flash: Cleared due to attempted elim kill on him with little chance of WGG Manukos: Cleared by reasoning at the first of this post Len: Uncleared Araris: Cleared by multiple confirmed Thefts carried out Meta: Uncleared This is it, comrades: it's either me or Meta. The evidence for Meta's guilt: --Attempted distancing by Jon as Jon accused Meta of colluding with Araris --Meta was not on the Hazekill list and so was guaranteed a free shot at Yitzi, while I had a 50% chance of being Hazekilled --Meta did not participate in the lynch against elim!Sart. Instead... --Meta attempted to give Sart the opportunity to tie the vote. Only Sart being distracted by the other game and not voting saved the lynch --Most important of all, Meta was blocked last night and no elim kill occurred The evidence for my innocence: --I have a GM-confirmed alibi for the night that Jon Hazekilled a teammate, while Meta has none --The next night, I was Hazekilled by Manukos (now cleared), which proved I didn't make the elim kill that night --I assisted in the Sart lynch, identifying Sart as a likely elim in my massive analysis post (although admittedly I preferred to lynch Meta to Sart), and without my vote the lynch wouldn't have happened --I identified Meta as a likely elim before Meta attempted to save Sart with his vote --I've been heading the discussion for the last few cycles, and the discussion has been extremely harmful to the elims due to it establishing cleared players --I was unblocked last night (or probably was, since both Hazekills are accounted for) but no elim kill occurred Edit: I should probably vote, then. Oops. Meta

Hmmm... the best solution might be to have the UIB scan players until they get an Alien, then claim in-thread to get the alien lynched as well as hard-clear a bunch of players. We lose the UIB, but with only 3 or 4 Aliens in this game it would be a brutal hit to the elims.
