Do you think they have global warming on Scadrial, with the CO2 from the ashmounts?

So basically we finally get a politician who can actually make good on their promises?

Adolin. His swordsmanship is just boss, and I can think of one scene in particular that had my heart pounding with excitement. (Will not elaborate due to spoilers).

I was just looking back over the previous day and I saw this: I'm not getting good vibes from this post: it seems like an overreaction to just a couple of votes, and non-bandwagon ones at that. Also, there's this: (emphasis mine) What this second post sounds like is that Daniyah is playing both sides: encouraging players to vote on lurkers but yet not wanting to cast any votes herself. This reminds me of the Derethi tactics in LG24: We had confirmed the identity of the Korathi faction leader from an inside source, but needed the lynch to penetrate the faction's protect actions. We accomplished this by convincing the village that the Korathi faction were working behind the scenes to eliminate the other factions, while really we were the killing faction. The same could be happening here: Daniyah convinces us that lurkers are undermining the game, even though she's been lurking pretty well. She naturally avoids suspicion because she proposed the idea in the first place, and so we waste a lynch or two on inactives whom we've accused of lurking. This is all just a theory at this point, but the evidence is piling up in favor of Daniyah being the last elim.

I for one am glad that I can finally trust Sheep for certain. I didn't protect last night to save Drafts, since I assumed that the elim would assume that I would. Looks like it worked. They're hoping that we'll do the work for them. As for reads, here's where I'm at: Len: me. Either a villager or a very bus-happy elim, depending on your level of paranoia. Role is Red-Orange Bichrome. Sheep: Hard-cleared villager. 'Nuff said. Role is Normal Villager. Elim chance at 0% Chaos: I've had a PM with her, and so far she's read village to me. No role-claim at this time. I'd rate elim chance at 30% Ecth: Slightly-suspicious, but I know that he's been paying far less attention than usual, consistent with his claim of Normal Villager. Elim chance at 40% Daniyah: Hasn't done anything really suspicious or very villager-like. No role-claim. Elim chance at 50% Mark: Read elim to me early-on but is slowly moving back towards neutral. No role-claim. Elim chance at 65%

To ensure that we don't get a tied lynch, I'll vote Mark Stick. I'm not that suspicious of him, but no lynch means no chance at killing an elim. Also, everyone remember to put in PM requests.

I've been keeping a near-constant PM with Chaos, and can vouch for her role. I am up-to-date on all actions (if any) that she has taken, and don't find any of them very suspicious. That sounds wise, since it would protect you from all night-kills from now until the end of the game. Also, I'm beginning to gather a master list of all claimed roles, actions, etc. in hopes of screening out eliminators. If anyone wants to contribute anything, please PM me. I'll be self-protecting and so won't die on you tonight.

We usually have to warn the newcomers. Have an upvote for your foresight.

The cookies tend to have... unintended side effects. I really wouldn't suggest them. (The magic in them is from Mistborn).

Amarthion, Faren, and Zandarr packed up camp and began the new day. Between them they had eaten all of the meat from the first Giant Adder, but they still had the meat from the kill the evening before, preserved and packed by Amarthion. Not wanting to spend another day exposed, they looked for a cave in which they could shelter and use as a base in the future. They finally found one located in the side of a large hill and peered at the opening from the shelter of a nearby rock pile, but before they could come near they became conscious of harsh voices below them. 2 Mountain Hobgoblins Spotted! The Masters of Moria turned to each other and nodded, then charged out from cover of the rock. The goblins whirled to face the charge, but the Masters formed into a spearhead-shape, with the massive figure of Zandarr taking up the middle. Zandarr was the first to make contact, crashing into one of the goblins and hitting it with a well-placed slash. Zandarr.Rules deals 12 damage to Mountain Hobgoblin 1! The hapless hobgoblin was knocked backwards, and its counter-stroke almost missed its target altogether. Mountain Hobgoblin 1 deals 0 damage to Zandarr.Rules! Faren, who was the left point of the spearhead, lunged at the other goblin while it was distracted by Zandarr's charge. Faren deals 14 damage to Mountain Hobgoblin 2! However, this crafty goblin saw Faren's move and braced himself to block. When that failed, it turned its move into a vicious counterstroke. Mountain Hobgoblin 2 deals 7 damage to Faren! Amarthion, who had been running on the right, in hopes of avoiding direct combat, drew his Bronze Hatchet and hacked at Faren's hobgoblin, forcing it back. Amarthion deals 7 damage to Mountain Hobgoblin 2! Meanwhile, Zandarr pressed his advantage. Zandarr.Rules deals 14 damage to Mountain Hobgoblin 1! Zandarr's goblin swung recklessly, but completely missed its mark. Mountain Hobgoblin 1 deals 0 damage to Zandarr.Rules! Faren, who had had time to recover due to Amarthon's counterattack, redoubled his own attack. Faren deals 17 damage to Mountain Hobgoblin 2! The hobgoblin ignored this new attack and instead struck back at the attacker with the hatchet. The stroke hit, but not solidly. Mountain Hobgoblin 2 deals 3 damage to Amarthion! Amarthion resisted the urge to incinerate the hobgoblin and instead finished it with his hatchet. Amarthion deals 6 damage to Mountain Hobgoblin 2! Mountain Hobgoblin 2 destroyed! Zandarr grinned slightly as his allies felled their hobgoblin. The hobgoblin, confused by the grin, smiled stupidly before Zandarr wiped the smile right off of its face. Zandarr.Rules deals 14 damage to Mountain Hobgoblin 1! Mountain Hobgoblin 1 destroyed! Faren and Amarthion stopped their run to assist Zandarr and all three looted the bodies of their foes. They looked up at the cave they were heading for and were met with a discouraging sight: four goblins had suddenly appeared in the cave entrance, listening keenly to try to pinpoint the location of the fighting. "There's four goblins up by that cave. I wouldn't be surprised if there's more of them in there." "Even if there is, there probably aren't many. Goblin settlements are small. I'd doubt there's many more than those four left." "Do you think we can manage these four with our current numbers?" "Judging by these guys we mopped up, we should be fine. The guards don't look to have bows, and we've got magic and armor on our side. They will be harder to take by surprise, though."

Ecth voted on Darkness a previous night, before Assassin's lynch. I was referring to that.

Living players and who they've voted on: Sheep: Alv (SK), Darkness (Evil) Chaos: Never voted Mark: Alv (SK) Stick: Darkness (Evil) Ecth: Darkness (Evil), Assassin (village) Dani: Darkness (Evil) Len: Bard (Evil) x2 due to vote manip, Assassin (village), Darkness (Evil) Now most of these lynches have been pretty close, so it would have been unwise for the elims to kill their own, except at the last second to gain credibility. Here's what I think the votes reveal: The most cleared right now is me, since I've helped lynch both of the Spies so far. Also up in this bracket are Ecth, because he voted on Darkness before a bus would have been wise, and Sheep, since I've been reading him strong village and so far he's never lynched a villager despite voting twice. In the middle is Dani and Stick: both were helpful in lynching Darkness, but there's still a chance that they were just bussing their teammates. The most suspicious two players right now (judging by votes only) are Mark and Chaos. However, Chaos has been in contact with me most of the game, and has justified her choices in not voting to the point where I don't think she's a lurking elim. My biggest suspect, therefore, is Mark. So far he's never helped in a single lynch on an Evil player, and his vote on me seemed like that of an opportunist trying to get a claimed-village vote manip knocked off before he could do much to help. And finally, some personal stuff to do, since I keep forgetting to send in PM requests. @I_am_a_Stick You implied last round that you were a useful role. Was it Blue? If so, have you scanned any currently-living players? @Mark IV Do you have anything to say in your defense. And 1 final note: All Reds, self-protect. If there are 2 of us still alive, the elim can't win without lynching one of us.

Nice! I guess I'll have to trust my gut more often. As for the night-kill, I can only assume that they gambled wrong and wasted their kill on me. But I haven't gotten any notification to that effect, so if any role-blockers did their thing I'd like to hear about it. Now, I think it's about that time in the game where we look at voting histories: who helped kill the elims and who voted with them or on someone else. I'll have those tallies up in a second.

Well, those votes came on quickly. If I didn't know that I was village, I'd be pretty suspicious. Okay, I may as well just out myself to everyone: I'm a Red-Orange Bichrome and the anonymous contact that I mentioned a few posts back is me. I've been suspicious of Darkness for a while now, since I've been doubting that Straw would have put in two village Red-Oranges, but up until now he hadn't given me enough information to accuse him without either outing myself (and possibly getting accused of a smear tactic) or looking like a total lynch-guider. And to the elims, to attack me tonight or not to attack me, that is the question.

I know who Mage was talking to, but for the security of that player I won't state their name. They switched to self protect after getting paranoid that Mage was setting them up. As for the safety, Mage gave it to me so that if Sheep claimed something else after Mage was dead, then I would be able to bust him for lying. As for the lynch, I think I can clear Sheep. My biggest suspicion is now on Darkness because the Stick accusation rings to me like a tactic meant to start a lynch war between 2 villagers: Sheep and Stick.

Mage gave me Sheep's info 18 hours ago per the PM timer. Adjusting for the time between posts, Mage told me Sheep was Normal 4 hours before Sheep claimed to you, and 11 hours before he claimed in-thread.

This one has already fallen to the power of Ruin, from which there is no return.

Sheep. Last turn, Mage and I got a PM going. In it, he expressed a growing mistrust of Sheep, and confided in me a bit of information designed as a safety valve should anything happen to him. That information is now obsolete: it was Sheep's role-claim, before he made it in-thread. However, I just got thinking: how would Mage have gotten a role-claim from Sheep? PM is possible, but I find it more likely that Sheep was Mage's doc add at the end of turn one or turn two. This fits with something he told me: that he trusted Sheep for "personal reasons". That was why I dropped my vote on Sheep last round. Looking at Mage's role, there is little doubt in my mind that Sheep was in Mage's doc at that time. This would also explain the exact sequence of events: Mage adds Sheep to the Superviolet Doc, Sheep claims Normal to Mage, Mage claims Superviolet to Sheep, Mage becomes suspicious of Sheep, Mage gives me the safety valve, Sheep says in the elim doc that Mage has no protection, Sheep claims Normal in-thread, Sheep or a buddy puts the kill in, Mage dies.

I still don't know about the write-up time, but Elby's on because she just noted my manip withdrawal.

Thank you. I'll take off the order redirecting your vote to Assassin.

Is turnover in 10 mins or in 70?

I said that there were probably 2 vote-manips in the game. One I already knew about: me. Chances that the elims have one are pretty good, and that lynch was already shaky. A couple more votes (from Bard's teammates) and we would've missed.

Sorry, I typed Mage instead of Bard.

Isn't that what Green does? Edit: Sorry, typo. I meant Bard.

I'm not saying 2 Orange Drafters, I'm saying 2 Vote-Manips. We've got to factor in full polychromes, bichromes, and maybe even the Prism.
