    I'm desi, though not Hindu, but I'll say that Brandon is generally cognizant about these things. I'd be shocked if he doesn't have Indian and Hindu sensitivity readers (or alpha or beta readers). YMMV, it's really hard to find good representation nowadays. Even the books published by POC authors, it seems like the ones that get published and read by a white audience (the majority of the English-speaking world) often read like they're for a white audience more so then our communities. So I'm not particularly hopeful, but ironically I suspect Brandon will be more careful based on things he's said in the past and the fact that he can't fall back on the fact that he's POC to avoid criticism.

    what do you mean by cultural Babylon? I'm not familiar with that expression

    wait so... if the meta elims and pseudo elims may or may not be the same people... and the meta elims win depending on if they bet correctly for or against the pseudo elims... we have potential for elim-on-elim betrayal??

    I did see how close it was to 14 and was tempted but there's no way I'd be able to manage the pace of a QF

    you're doing this on purpose oh so you are doing it on purpose

    you don't need to follow anyone, you're not under suspicion. only people who voted for mist can have the gun rn since this is most likely scenario 2, the only action you can take that would be helpful to you is to search for an item. there's no point in confirming where players were on N0 since that's irrelevant to who has the gun now

    @Fizz9 @Through The Living Star preferably pick someone who's likely to be active, and also ping them when you announce your choice here. we want them to be around on the next day turn to confirm aaand y'all jinx'ed each other. pick different people xD

    do you mean because doc didn't work out that your plan would work, or because you find doc's plan inherently suspicious? the logic's sound, but I don't think this is going to work out because I'm not the hero and the rest of you are also claiming not to be the hero lol as for fallen's plan, I'm happy to follow someone to clear myself. I'll follow @Verdance

    if thats the case, the hero can potentially both survive until the end of the game and win at the same time right? in the case where they never get the gun, they don't have to choose between winning and survival? can more than one player be hero at a time? is it a permanent status? mist confirmed that he had the gun on N1

    rip verx my current understanding of the rules, assuming mist was telling the truth: one of the people who voted on mist (fizz, star, doc, or myself) is currently the hero the hero can choose to either not fire the gun tonight (in which case they die and win the game) or to fire the gun and kill another player (if successful, they will survive) @Araris Valerian am I right that if the hero doesn't fire the gun, they'll die over the night and their death will be announced in the D3 write up? either way, the smoking gun will move to a new player on N3 (if the gun holder is ex'ed on D3, the new player will be a hero; if not, the new player will have to kill someone because they gain nothing from restraint) and then the gun pretty much circles around until there are two players left. so this does feel like a "everyone for themselves" scenario. there's really no village win here. there is an upside to ex'ing the person holding the gun though, because one of the people who vote correctly will have the choice to win the game or at least survive the night (not like they can be killed if they're the one holding the gun). so there at least, we have incentive to ex whoever the current killer is mist would have no reason to lie if this was scenario 1 or 3, so I think we can be pretty confident that we're in scenario 2 also can someone tell me what FFA stands for?

    I doubt you'll get an answer here but the fact araris brought that up at all is very interesting though if there's something we're missing, I also can't find it
  16. Mint11
    I know its been confirmed in people's PMs but I want this out in the thread considering how weird all this is @Araris Valerian is it possible to be successfully followed by another player without being notified?
  17. Mint11
    sorry, I missed that. basically I was curious to see if anyone would break or change the tie on D1, and you did so I wanted more info on a potential e!Doc/e!Striker situation it's not really a horrible claim for an elim to fake if they forgot that people are notified on being followed, especially in a game with as many potential rules as this one I hope someone convinces us otherwise because I don't want brax to die
  18. Mint11
    if this is the case, I think it's more likely that Mist lied. e!Mist could easily have killed dive and claimed to follow a player they could reasonably guess was telling the truth (since they'd know star was village). seems more likely that e!Mist forgot a rule than e!star either saying she didn't get confirmation when asked point blank (assuming that's how the PM went?). like I feel like that could prompt e!star to check the rules if they forgot there's also a sliver of a chance that e!star was thinking of dropping out of the game, the elims saw doc catch this discrepancy, and then they came up with this plan to make e!mist look good. they'd have to be taking advantage of a hell of a specific circumstance though I'll look over everything if I get a chance tomorrow

    I followed @Doc12 and can confirm that he's being honest about his exploration claim. He saved Striker so I wanted to look into that. did this happen in a PM? I'm not seeing anything like that in thread once I forgot to take my action on the last turn of a game and would've won if I did. so it could be worse you should play however feels best to you, but I will argue that voting gives the village important info to sus people out because it's a concrete action you can't take back. everything else is up in the air because you never know when someone is lying. people are rarely 100% sure in a game, and even when they are, they're still wrong sometimes. I think voting on the wrong person sometimes is just a necessary evil for these games just something to think about, but with all that said, I definitely don't wanna pressure anyone to vote if they're not comfortable very curious about why you felt skeptical about this
  20. Mint11
    must have missed that. thanks for clarifying given the percentages, I'm not really sure how much we'll be able to discern from clues (pending araris' answer to my question above, but I think I figured out the intent as I was writing it up). so I'd say searching for an item is about equally as helpful right now (there are a couple good ones, it's just not very likely we'll get them). and then searching for another player is really only helpful if we're already suspicious of them
  21. Mint11
    okay so I just did some math, and given the formula for C, where X is the number of players: C is currently 67, and it should go up and player count goes down someone please double check my math there
  22. Mint11
    to answer the question on why I voted for fizz, out of everyone who had votes at that point, they seemed the most likely to me to be elim. they had a few posts but no strong opinions @Araris Valerian are the clues that have a C% chance of being found the ones that are unique to the scenario or does it include shared clues? so taking this one for example: Remnants of an explosion/gunshot (Scenarios 1 and 2) if we were in scenario 1, would this have a C% chance or a 100-C% chance?
  23. Mint11
    its a real vote. I feel like we're too late in the cycle for pokes I felt kind of bad for wahr, fizz is my next best guess, and I'm very curious to see who, if anyone, breaks the tie @Verdance I'm like 95% sure that votes can't be case privately. you can't do it via DM, only in thread
  24. Mint11
    interestingly enough, I had (and still have, though I think I've gotten a little more desensitized) the same reaction to the concept of immortality when I first came across it in fiction. it horrifies me and isn't something I would want, but for some reason when its the afterlife, it doesn't bother me I think you'll find though that "eternity" might actually not mean never ceasing to exist, if someone believes that there is an end to time, which some do
  25. Mint11
    mm okay I'm gonna take pity on Wahr. and will move my vote to Fizz Mint(2): Striker, Wahr Akimiko(1): Dive Fizz(2): ____/mippo, Mint Wahr(2): Fizz, Star Fallen(1): Mist ___/mippo(1): Qian Striker(2): Doc, Mist Mist(1): Fallen @StrikerEZ curious on your reasoning for keeping your vote on me since the initial vote was a poke vote? a poke vote is essentially poking someone to say "hey say something". its something people do on D1. it's not really a "I find you suspicious" vote the pinned SE rules/etiquette post might have a better explanation, I think wilson defined some common terminology in there
