    LG79/AN10 Day 3: Attempted Murder Kethri stood guard during the highstorm, sitting right outside the cave. Looking out, he didn't see the person sneak up behind him until it was too late. BAM, a blow right to the back of the head. He shouted in pain, and tried to twist to see who it had been. Thankfully, the extra armor of Warform had protected him, but it still hurt! The person disappeared back into the cave before he could see which of them it was. He rubbed the back of his head, and stormed inside. Somebody had it out for him, and he would find out who. --- Thane watched Kethri come in. He started shouting about how somebody had tried to kill him while he had been keeping guard. That got people talking real quick. Who had been missing? Who was the attempted murderer? Did that mean all the accidents that had happened so far, hadn't been accidents after all? Moirin called everyone together. "I've known for a while that there are some among us who seek to do us harm. We need to find them, and begone with them. If any of them would like to come forward, we'll deal with you more mercifully than otherwise." Nobody came forward. Everyone looked around at each other, and most hummed the rhythm of Anxiety. But Thane could even hear one or two people singing the rhythm of Betrayal, and that stung. It was not often sung, and when it was it was a cruel thing. Thane quietly hoped they could resolve the situation quickly, and make good on their escape. They still had to cross most of Alethela. --- Ivory Dragonfly was attacked, but survived! Village Stash Player List The day will end in about 47 hours, at 12AM EDT 7/27/21. Additionally, if @Fuchsia Ostrich, @Azure Mouse, and @Melon Dingo do not post today they will either be removed or replaced, depending on how many pinch hitters I have.

    And the turn is over, no PMing during rollover please. The day turn will be up as soon as I get to a computer.
  5. Steeldancer
    You have about 2.5 hours to get any last actions in.
  6. Steeldancer
    To answer Opal Lions question, stormform's action only is available during the night turn, so by extension no day actions are blockable. You may take your gems and make your PMs in peace during the day.

    One additional note. While I did not put an activity filter in this game, instead hoping the rules themselves would encourage activity, I am going to start putting my foot down. From this point forward, unless you talk to me about it beforehand, if you don't post at least once a cycle I will get a pinch hitter for you. That's once every 3 days, that isn't too much to ask. Thank you for your cooperation.

    LG79/AN10 Night 2: Into Alethela Things weren't nearly as quiet now, since many of them were no longer in dullform. Thane had found a stick, and was walking towards the back of the group, but he could still hear many people arguing towards the front. One particular argument started to get out of hands, coming to shouts and blows. Others went to go intervene, but Thane, being in workform, didn't really feel like getting involved. It was snowing, and the icy air still bit at Thane's carapace. Thankfully, they weren't too far from getting to the bottom of the pass. Then Thane heard a noise. A low rumble. He turned around, looking for the source of the noise. His eyes widened in fear. "AVALANCHE! AVALANCHE! EVERYBODY RUN!" Thane shouted to the rhythm of the terrors. He himself started sprinting towards higher ground. But the avalanche was coming fast, and there were some stragglers. Thane watched with his own eyes as Alb, one of the singers who had originally formed the group of rebels, tossed another singer out of harm's way, and was then buried in a rush of ice and snow. When the wave passed, Thane ran and started digging to try and get him out. But by the time he managed to do so, he was already dead. Thane sang the rhythm of the Lost, and several others joined in. For Alb, they would have to continue into Alethela. There was no time for extended mourning, as a highstorm was imminent, and they needed to find shelter. Freedom always came at a cost. Sometimes that cost was dear friends. The road to freedom was a difficult one. And he was sure that Alb would not be the last one to die. Not by a faint breeze or a stormwind. ---- Magenta Albatross was exed! They were a Dullform Rebel!

    And, the day is over! I'll get the next turn up soonish. Organizing stuff as a gm is a must, and it's also my greatest weakness... Also please don't PM during rollover.
  10. Steeldancer
    There's about 3 hours left in the turn. Make sure you get your votes and actions in. Additionally I will be keeping a close eye on activity. If you're not able to be active, just, ya know, let me know.

    Quick GM comment to follow that up. While I'm not one to impose any form of playstyles on anyone, I will ask, politely, that we keep the anonymous game anonymous. I much prefer to be hands off as possible when GMing and not impose too much on the players, but part of the reason I designed this game as it is, is to escape from traditional playstyles and have it more based on pure in game skill, not meta. It's fine to have guesses as to who people are, but please refrain from identity claiming or anything.
  12. Steeldancer
    A bunch of people have been asking me this, so here's an official clarification: gems are consumed when putting on a form. I thought that was implicit in the rules, but here's the clarification for those who didn't realize that.

    LG79/AN10 Day 2: A Tragic Blow Thane huddled behind a rock as the stormwall hit. The wind was intense, as always. He held up the gemstone with the captive spren inside. He started getting into the right mindset to change into workform, then stood up against the gale and smashed the gemstone on the ground. The gravitationspren flew up, and went into his chest, into his gemheart. And his whole body and mind changed. Suddenly his body had additional muscles, and was bulkier. And most importantly, he had clarity of thought now. It was still colored by the non-aggression of Workform, but he could hear the rhythms so much easier now. And then, he went and headed into the cave with the children. Others of them liked staying out in the storm, but not Thane. He had heard of singers being struck by rocks and such even after the stormwall, and he liked to avoid that sort of thing. He hummed to the rhythm of joy, enjoying the feeling of the music sounding in his head, unsullied by dullform. As he walked into the cave, he saw a singer lying on the ground. He crouched down, singing the rhythm of anxiety as he tried to rouse the singer. They didn't move. It looked like their head had been bashed by a rock. His thoughts now clear, he investigated closer, while still respecting the body. Could that kind of blow have come from a highstorm? A small part of him reminded him of the fact that there were too many of them. A traitor might have this. But who? Or was it an accident after all? Either way, the singer wasn't about to be telling anyone, as she was already dead. Thane sung to the rhythm of mourning until the other came over to see what had happened. Pavli acted quickly, and went to distract the children. Thankfully the fallen hadn't had any kids. There were now doubts. How safe would it be to continue? Thane knew they had to continue. There was no turning back now, or the Fused would simply kill them all. Most of the others would not suspect that they had traitors among them, though. Hopefully Moirin would be able to convince them it was worth continuing into Alethela. --- Mauve Crocodile was killed! They were a Dullform Rebel!

    And the night is over! The day turn will be up soonish.
  15. Steeldancer
    @Opal Lion your reasoning is correct. If one roleless elim asked for the same gem as 5 villagers with forms, the elim would get it.
  16. Steeldancer
    Quick reminder. Include me in all PMs, but don't bother Araris. I'll include him if anything goes severely sideways.

    LG79/AN10 Night 1: The Mountain Pass Moirin had sung the Rhythm of the Wind to find out when the storm was coming, and it would be coming tonight. The small group of Singers had been walking for about 5 days now, and they had made a good distance, and reached the foot of the mountains. Thane could see the pass, but it would still be quite a climb. They would hide in a cave once they got to the top. Everyone pitched in to help get the older Singers and the children up the arduous climb. Thane sung to the rhythm of determination as he carried a sleeping kid on his back. The night was falling as they managed to get the last few into the cave. They would finish actually crossing the mountain pass later. It was cold. Cold and rocky. At least down below had been somewhat warm, Thane thought dully as he shivered. Moirin spoke up. "As tonight is the first storm since we left, we will use some of our gems tonight." Now THAT got people's attention. She opened the bag of glittering gems. Painspren, logicspren, passionspren, gravitationspren, and others all trapped in the gems. You could shatter it during the storm, making it so much easier to get the desired form. Everyone wanted to be able to think again, so they all dove after gemstones. There was quite a bit of squabbling over the logicspren and painspren in particular. Thane waited until everyone else was done, and grabbed a gravitationspren gem. He had always preferred workform anyway. Nobody noticed the one Singer who had been trampled in the scramble until they were already dead. --- Abaram could feel the highstorm approaching. Most of the adults were outside, preparing to put on a new form. She guessed she would join them, and pretend to put on a new form. The children cowered in the cave they had found. And damnation, it was COLD! She hummed to the rhythm of Annoyance. --- Vote Tally Coral Swan(4): Albatross, Scorpion, Flamingo, Lion Cream Tuatara(3): Heron, Mouse, Falcon Chartreuse Penguin(2): Hyena, Vulture Plum Rhino(2): Swan, Penguin Melon Dingo(2): Dragonfly, Rhino Coral Swan has been exed! They were a Dullform Rebel! Quick clarification, as it was asked earlier about codes and whatnot. I haven't been around for 2 years, so I'm not sure on the rules of that, but I'm going to say if you're in artform feel free to make something clever up, as long as you don't use any outside sources to help you. Of course, if Araris says otherwise, I'll defer to that, but for now I'll just stick with that decision. The village stash will be available again starting day 2.

    The day is over! I definitely didn't get distracted until now playing Genshin impact, definitely not...
  19. Steeldancer
    I'm going to be pushing back rollover by 2 hours permanently, because my family hates me not being busy in the morning. Sorry for the inconvenience. That means there are less than 4 hours for you to get your actions and votes in.
  20. Steeldancer
    Your voting patterns is what convinced me you were evil.
  21. Steeldancer
    Blegh I knew Araris was evil. Also for the record, Devotary, I completely did not realize that you were referencing my LG79 ruleset when you said I hate cats. The reason that's in there is because it's explicitly untrue and mostly a joke. Even as I write this, I am cuddling with my cat. Or, sitting next to her anyway. It was fun playing a vanilla game, even though forgetting about it kind of killed me. Kasimir's writeups are freaking massive.
  22. Steeldancer
    They aren't new players, they're players who I signed up, distributed accounts to, then forgot to send a PM to with said account. So, no spoilers here.
  23. Steeldancer
    It has come to my attention that I might have missed a person or two. I thought I got everyone, so if you didn't get a PM and your pretty sure you're supposed to be in this game, please send let me know ASAP so I can get you your account. Sorry for not being as thorough as I should have been.
  24. Steeldancer
    When you are not in a form, that form's condition does not apply to you. So, once you're not in mateform anymore, you no longer will be unable to vote for your PM partner. When a condition is not fulfilled, you lose the form. According to the OoA that is in the rules, that loss of form is the last thing that happens, so any actions you take will happen before that. But then you will return to dullform. Yes, I think I clarified that at some point. Items don't get snatched, they just return to where they came from. Elim gems will go to the elim stash, and village gems will go to the village stash.
  25. Steeldancer
    Ok. So You're mavset I'm, and you decide to target ivory dragonfly or somebody. Ivory dragonfly is a nimble form. You would replace them in their account. They would lose their form, and go to the dead doc. In the writeup, it would be reported that Plum Rhino, a nimble form rebel died. Make sense?
