Day 1- Reach for the Sky He preferred to be called by his callsign. Steel. He'd been flying for several years now against the Krell. But now it would soon be time to put down the ship, and do something else with his life. Like being a librarian or something more mundane like that. He had had a range of medical conditions crop up in his time in the sky, and would be unable to fly while he got some advanced medical treatment. But he still had some time. So he was surprised when he was called into Alta base unexpectedly. Ironsides glared at the collection of pilots before her. "I'm sure most of you have heard by now that Bountiful Cavern has decided to rebel against our leadership. I have also heard that there are pilots who feel that perhaps we have overstepped our bounds in governing the Defiant League. Well, let me make this clear." She looked over the terrified pilots. "Any rebellious tendencies will not be tolerated. Our job is to protect the human race. Anyone who decides to threaten that all-important mission will be promptly court martialed and drummed right out of the Defense Force. Do you understand?" The hall was hushed. Someone near the back coughed. Ironsides nodded, and the pilots scattered at the implicit dismissal. Steel was from Bountiful cavern. That could put a delay on his medical leave. He grimaced, and headed to his flight. Maybe his flight leader would be able to work things out for him in this case. As he walked to the bunker, he remembered stories his mother had told him when he was young. Of Earth, the planet they heralded from. Of blue skies, not the oppressive gray color of Detritus. He wondered what it would be like to fly through a blue sky. It would probably be a lot easier to see Krell ships against that backdrop. ___________ The game has begun! Role PMs will be sent out as soon as possible! Alta Base currently has 25 health. The ships available are listed below. Largos have 8 health, Pocos have 6 health, and Fresas have 4 health. All other health will be as indicated in the initial rules. Player list is below. Remember PMs are closed in the day, and remember to submit a ship request. Otherwise a random ship will be assigned to you. The turn will end in 24 hours, at 8:00 PM EDT 5/26/19.

Sure.
-
Talk about it. Pick a callsign quick cuz this game is getting on the road. Signups are now closed!
-
It is not too late. Sign ups end tonight. Welcome stick.
-
Thanks Fifth. You just made me tear up.
-
Alrighty then! Now being free of responsibilities in other games, and with a grand total of 15 people signed up, I think we're ready to go tomorrow. Alvron will be the IM (he seems to IM all of my games, doesn't he?) and I will be your glorious GM. One last time... Steeldancer is going to Texas

I actually did tweak some secrets... you won't know everything.

Well obviously that’s the case. The question is it an evil role? I’ve seen how nefarious evil stick can be before. As I’ve said before, Zane is a silver tongued liar. The only thing you can rely on is their actions. I just got back from work, but it turns out that I'm going to go see Aladdin and that might go past rollover. So here's what I have to say. I've tried to be honest. I've tried to be a good player. But this game, well, I didn't play my best. And that was deliberate. I knew I was going to get lynched eventually, and perhaps this timing is the best, as my game begins tomorrow (small plug for that, if you've read skyward please join I need the players). But I did want to see Zane dead. Badly. In the spirit of that, Steel Stick. I will not go gentle into that good night. And so from the depths of hell I stab at thee, Zane. I guarantee you will die before this game ends. Even if it wasn't at my hands. It's been fun playing SE. I'm still sad I didn't get to be a serial killer one last time. Perhaps I wouldn't feel so down about it if Fifth hadn't trolled me with the Zane role... I told Mailliw all about that. Anyway I'm signing off. I probably won't be back on again, nor will I be joining the next LG. If you wanna see me, go sign up for my MR.

Thanks CadCom. I appreciate the effort. But it seems everyone is convinced I am an elim. As a sign of good faith I’ll cloud Lums vote. But I’d encourage Lum to vote on Stick. Stick would you have a problem with that? Because if you do, well, that would be suspicious wouldn’t it? the reasoning behind me thinking Lum is Vin is that she hasn’t actually proved her role a second time yet. I found the soothing too convenient. I find the role claim too convenient. It’s all just too convenient. But I’ll smoke Lumgol and then her role should be more or less confirmed.
-
If I'm going to die, I'm going to take one final stab at this. Elandera claims to be a rioter, an interesting claim, as Zane cannot use any form of rioting. And truly, the only way she could have known to ask about Coops clouding would be if she had attempted to manipulate his vote in some manner. As zane, she conceivably could have done that by soothing his vote, but why would she do that if she were Zane? It makes no sense. If I lower Straw's probability of being the mistborn because his activity doesn't fit it, and assume Mailliw really was framed by the mistborn, that leaves only two people of my main suspicions. I will note there are others who could still be the mistborn I didn't list because I feel like they don't fit the bill, like Rath and Ark. Snipexe and Stick. Alright then. Snipexe was suspicious in my PM, blatantly asking me if I was an eliminator. And he never actually sent me a list of suspicions. I replied no, because I'm not an eliminator, if I were an eliminator I would have played this game a lot more ideally. But asking that... while Zane might do that, it just doesn't feel... right? Why would anyone ever answer "yes" to that question, even if they actually were an eliminator? That whittles it down to Stick. A lot of assumptions were made in the making of this conclusion, and it very well might be wrong because I don't have the additional cycle I need to pare it down all the way. But in a way, it feels right. Stick voted on me for the most fragile reason in thread (which I showed was completely incorrect). And of course Zane would want to be rid of me. Snipexe hasn't even voted yet. So yeah, Stick. I think you're Zane. I don't have the time to gather the evidence I need to pin you down as such, but it's what I suspect. Oh and look at that. When I cross reference this with my PM with stick, guess who she suspected? Xino. And she was also quite hedgey regarding guessing at who the mistborn is, saying something along the lines of "Oh they'll look really village in thread." I think I've got it on the button. Oh of course Stick will deny it, it's only the rational thing to do. But I think I've got you pinned. And if I'm wrong, well it's only a matter of time before the real one gets shot dead in the water by the assassin or something.
-
Fine then. Lynch me. rath Steel . Clearly I must be the best option to kill, even though my behavior makes absolutely no sense as an eliminator. I’m a way better player than this, why would I be so honest and blatant with how I feel about things? Well anyway I won’t be around whatsoever today. I have a 7 hour shift, and it’s not going to be fun. I guess this is more or less my last game I’ll play for 2 years. Fitting I die before I manage to whittle down the final names.

I swear I’ve explained my vote on Rae like 10 times now. It was to gather information. Not to lynch her. I only had a 15 minute break that day, and generally I also need to eat during that time. So I showed you I picked the easiest people to cloud on the major vote and then probably checked discord and ate the rest of the time. SE doesn’t own my break. When I say I’m not going to be on, I’m not going to be. I didn’t change my vote because I didn’t see much point in voting on CadCom, and well what else was I supposed to do? I also am completely blanking on why people think a steel coop elim team is a thing. What.... where is that even coming from? I clouded his vote because it was convenient! Why don’t you just look at the post where I show you the timing and LOOK? Alright. If you really want to know what I have, I have 4 names I've narrowed it down to. Stick, Snipexe, Elandera, and maybe Straw. Mailliw if I'm being paranoid. That's 5 names. But it's what I have to offer. I haven't voted on them because I'm not done yet. My work remains incomplete. If you waited a single more cycle to let me finish, I could narrow it down to one name.
-
First off, I concede my wording of the PMs comes off a lot more demanding that I intended it too. I didn’t mean to be like that, as evidenced by the individuals who said they couldn’t get around to it immeadietly like @Cadmium Compounder Who was busy with work. Look if you want to look for the SKs go ahead. But I am objectively the one best suited for the task. Inner rage, history, obsessive tendencies. That’s probably what’s come across in thread. In LG41 I had a document to pour my obsessive tendencies into. Here, I only have the thread, again because I’m not an elim either and I don’t have a doc to pour that into. And I will note AGAIN there was no Rae lynch even at my break, as I showed in my last post. All that happened after. My extreme annoyance at Rae’s lynch, well why would I feel that way if I were an elim? The win condition if the elims is to kill the villagers. Surely I’d be pretty happy about losing the powerful role of the Librarian. I’m not asking you to trust me because I’m seeking the SK. I’d be doing that whether elim or village. But I would never have claimed to Mailliw, never would have reacted to Rae’s lynch the way I did, nor would I pour my pure frustration into the thread simply because I have no other outlet for my questionable focus on Zane. If you lynch me just realize you’re losing your best asset at killing Zane. I can’t share my methodology because I’m approaching it the same way I approached being the serial killer- one day at a time. I haven’t done my analysis today because I wasted most of today playing Shovel knight and then when I actually started doing it my mom asked me so to stuff, as per usual. I will get it done and share it in thread. Straw I had to ask each individual to share their suspicions. I wasn’t going to do that in thread because that compromises it not being based on anyone else. It shows what they have to say. There’s nothing stopping people from sharing their suspicions in thread. I just went out of my way to ask each person. Yeah, now I’m getting frustrated. I’m going to go see a movie now. So l won’t be back until tomorrow. And I have an extremely long shift tomorrow. I probably won’t be on much.

I just double checked my action order, which I had initially assumed was before work, but as Elandera pointed out, it couldn't have been. But I submitted my action at 6:18, well after my shift at work had started. So I must have misremembered before, and I did submit my clouding over my break. Now, let's see what was happening at 6:18. This is the first post after my break. I will note at this point CadCom was still the dominating lynch. There were 4 votes on CadCom, while CadCom had voted on Rae in self defense. And if you go up, going back in time, the first votes you see on CadCom are first HH, and then Coop. And that's why I selected the people I did.
-
Right... then I must have submitted the action during my break. Thus why I chose the first people I saw that had voted on CadCom.
-
Ah it was HH. I clouded Coop and HH.
-
Well I don't see much reason to hide my role given the circumstances. I am indeed a smoker 1. I was kind of dumb with my smoking last turn, I really should have smoked Lumgol, but I didn't think about the possibility that her vote could be soothed. I clouded Coop and someone else, I can't remember off the top of my head, in order to help solidify the lynch on CadCom, which was the dominating lynch at the time I went to work. That's more or less what I've been trying to do with my role, make the main lynch stronger so the elims can't manipulate it I primarily just picked the first two people from the thread who had voted on CadCom. I claimed to Maill, because I was kind of frustrated about my role at the time (and honestly still am. The weakest role in the game *sigh*). I've also told him exactly who I clouded both turns. Also, do you realize how silly it would be to attempt to frame Coop by clouding him? What in the world? The only way he could be framed would then be if someone attempted to manipulate his vote. The chances of that happening to a single individual are low, and as such, it just sounds like a lot of effort all to have a slight possibility of throwing suspicion on Coop. Which, I have no incentive to do. Anyway, I can prove I'm not Vin pretty easily. I can cloud someone's vote again, and you can see they're clouded again. And regarding roles, well, I know I'm village. So clearly there are multiple village Smoker 1s. I wasn't too shocked when Xino came up Smoker 1, I just figure the elims have some vote manipulation. And no. I'm not pulling a long con. If I were the serial killer... well I wouldn't be so tense about figuring out who Zane is. I would be a lot more lazy. That or I just wouldn't do what I'm doing at all. As it happens, Elandera, you're one of my top candidates for Zane atm. I need to go get my actual analysis done, but I have a list of a few individuals I currently suspect of being Zane. I'm going to go cross reference it with what people said in PMs, and if I'm remembering off the top of my head correctly, Elandera fit the bill for suspecting Xino.
-
Alright then. Xinoehp. Fascinating. Well, first thing I’m going to do is Rath . From the PMs I received, you are by far the most suspect individual still alive (other than maybe myself. But I have a mistborn to lynch before I get lynched). I haven’t busied myself with analysis on anything other than serial killer analysis, but if that many people think Rath is a good kill, I think we outta do it. That should free me up for the rest of the turn to do some analysis on Xinoehps kill, which a few people expressed suspicion of Xinoehp in their PMs to me (thank you for those who did that. Ironically, the one person who refused to give me their suspicions, Stink, died. Others of you just didn’t get around to it, which in and of itself is indicative of less suspicious behavior.) Currently my top candidate for Vin is Lum, but my focus will of course be on Zane. I told Mailliw last night that I might be able to figure Zane out by day 4. With the kill on Xinoehp, well, I think I’ll be able to make some significant progress tomorrow. Oh and finally, thank you joe for clearing things up. I myself am more interested in Zane dying first, so I think our goals align there. Now I should go to bed about now, so I’ll be back with a boatload of PM analysis and whatnot tomorrow morning.
-
I wish.
-
A lot of people have expressed suspicion of Mailliw being the serial killer. Personally, it feels like the kind of move I would make if I were the serial killer. Soothe away Lum's vote, thus pinning suspicion on both Lumgol and Mailliw. That's just my hunch though. I do see a scenario with Lum as Vin though. The soothing would also work to create a plausible excuse for why Lumgol couldn't produce results a second cycle in a row.
-
Uhhh... Xino, has not even registered on my radar as of yet. I'd appreciate if they would post more. Rath, I'd have to reread his posts. Anything not related to the mistborn has more or less kind of just not registered with me as of yet, so shrug. If anything, I really don't think Xino is active enough to be the mistborn. Rath is more of a possibility in my mind, but isn't high up on my list of possibilities. That could change, of course. The Zane kill tonight should be very informative.

Maybe because I went to work? I didn't figure a lynch on Rae was going to happen when I went to work. When I got back, the turn was over. I was hoping leaving the vote on her would encourage her to come back and say something more substantive, because she said she was busy. And an elim hammer, what would I be able to do about that if I'm not on at rollover, because I said I was at work? And I didn't shift my vote because I also didn't have any good ideas, and no lynches I agreed with were forming. I wasn't a fan of lynching Coop, and well nothing else was really happening. I would think, that instead of voting on someone who might be the SK when not a single elim has died yet, that you guys would do analysis and lynch someone who might be an elim instead. After all, I'm the one obsessed with attempting to kill Zane, not you guys. So, no, there's nothing off about me. What's off was that lynch train. The number of people who voted on Rae could have created a new lynch without voting on Rae and following my vote. However, apparently I was wrong about Rae not reading skyward. I take that misinformation back. I had to go eat lunch, so NOW I'll actually start getting those PMs out.
-
Ok clearly I was up too late last night, because everything is more dramatic with me when it's late at night... anyway I'm not really mad about Rae being lynched, just kind of annoyed. I fail to see how it was a smart lynch at all. My vote was even pointed out as having flaws in it, which were purposeful. So, if it didn't make sense that she would necessarily be a serial killer, and if there wasn't really anything indicating she was elim either (at least nothing I noticed, or nothing that anyone pointed out when voting on her) why did you lynch her exactly? sigh And that's entirely not including the fact that we lynched the librarian. Which, would have been helpful to not kill. At least we didn't lynch a Tineye 1. Then I couldn't make PMs. Maybe Rae will take the next couple days to read skyward. wheee. Then she can take her brilliant RP there. ANYWAY, now that I've dragged myself away from playing shovel knight, I'm going to make those PMs I promised I would make. I'm not looking for any role claims, just lists of people you are suspicious of. Your cooperation is appreciated in advance. Oh, also, I find the fact that Lumgol's vote was soothed away very suspicious. Very suspicious indeed.

Only the last kill order will be put in. They'll have a document to coordinate. If the same ships is requested by two players, one of them will get the ship. The other will get as similar of a ship as is available, before the players who did not put in requests get assigned ships. So, if you request a specific Poco, and someone else gets the specific Poco you asked for, you'll still probably end up with a Poco. Any ship that comes back will not have its health refreshed, other than it's shield regenerating. You may only have a single ship assigned to you at a time. The reason assigned is used is because technically eliminators have ships assigned to them that they do not use. Force refers to how much damage is dealt, inclusive of shields. Gunners do have an assigned ship that they cannot use. Attacking a rebel does damage to the turret. When making an attack on Krell, you will specify ship, which will be labeled Krell 1A, indicating what turm they arrived on and what number they are. When making an attack on a player, you will specify player.

ugghhhhh my stupid wifiiiii sorry guys my wifi sucks
