    Being LDS myself, I decided I wasn't going to do that until the game is finished (I felt it would be a little rude to drop this on you all, plus I enjoy this). If anyone decides to make that decision, it would be best if they inform me and then we can get a pinch hitter. Personally, I don't interpret SE as social media, but that's personally. Plus, inactivity is not a major issue right now. So, if anyone decides to do that, I'll find a pinch hitter somewhere. Just please inform me, don't drop off without letting me know.

    Also, another GM note. I am working until 7, so I will be a few minutes late with ending the cycle. Rollover will also be longer, because I won't have time to finish everything up in advance.

    Borts vote and Scholars vote were GM mistakes. They will now be fixed.

And instead, he got wushed thwough. It simpwy wasn't faiw! In the kitchen, he found a bawweh of the good stuff, and got a big cup." "Grandpa, are you sure the priest would be drinking?" "Hush, Alvron, I'm trying to tell the story." "So as pwiest awawis took a long swig, a gwoup of piwates came in the woom, who wewe also weally thiwsty." "Grandpa, why are you reading this all like that?" "Because I want to. Do you want me to continue reading or not?" "Fine. Just kill him off quickly." "And so, they looked at Awawis who was hoawding the dwink, and they got angwy. 'Get away from that, you drunk priest!' Awawis did not wespond, and the piwates- being piwates- killed him." "Finally, he's dead." "Alvron, I think you're the only one who doesn't find him hilarious." "Only when he dies." Araris has been lynched! He is Mostly Dead.

    Quick reminder to all those who have not put in their iocaine choice- please tell me which cup you would poison, and which cup you would drink. Thank you for your cooperation.

    Too slow, straw. I hit him up already.
  10. Steeldancer
    No

    It still counts towards his win condition, but he will not win until The Six Fingered count actually dies.
  12. Steeldancer
    Heh I knew I forgot something. Miracle Max will need to revive 4 villagers, and 2 eliminators in order to win.
  13. Steeldancer
    r's and L's awe the consonants he omihts. Lets just stick with that fow tooday.
  14. Steeldancer
    Ok, that should be all the PM's. If for some reason you did not receive one, tell me.

    Day One: Mawwiage Grandpa Steel waved his hands into the air, entering the drama of the moment. "And so, they put Wesley on the cart-" Alvron coughed. Grandpa Steel looked at him. "I find it boring that Wesley has to sit on the cart for all that time. What would happen if he went in and charged the wedding immediately?" The aged man pulled down his reading glasses down a bit. "You really have it in for these characters, don't you." Despite that, he continued to alter the story. "I, the Dread Pirate Roberts, have come for your souls", the Giant intoned. Facing an unearthly burning apparition, backed up by a score of nasty looking pirates, the entire guard fled. Wesley got up off the cart, the miracle pill having taken full effect. "We have to find Buttercup!" The group glared at him. "No we don't. YOU need to find Buttercup. We are going to take the castle." "And I am looking for the Six Fingered Count. He is Mine to kill," growled Inigo. "Well then," Wesley said brightly. "We split up. Pirates, you split up into groups of 5. Fezzik, you go with Inigo. I can handle myself." --- The noise of the guard screaming could be heard within the wedding. While the bishop droned on, Prince Humperdinck waited impatiently. "...Mawwiage. Mawwiage is wat bwings us togeder today. Mawwiage, that bwessed awwangement, that dweam wifin a dream… " Doors slammed, and men screamed. Buttercup looked up in hope."And wuv, twue wuv, will fowwow you foweva… " Prince Humperdinck looked more and more nervous. Splintering wood could be heard. "So tweasure your wuv— " "Skip to the end," insisted the Prince. The bishop raised a massive eyebrow, then proceeded along with his request. "Do you have da wing?" "Alas, he does not!" shouted Wesley as he entered the room. At the sight of the Dread Pirate Roberts, the crowd fled- and so did the Prince. Buttercup ran to Wesley, and they embraced. "I knew you would come for me." "We aren't done yet. We need to take this palace, or this country is going to go to war with Gilder. I brought my pirates and my new friends, so hopefully we can keep Humperdinck's scheme from working. Inigo told me that you were to be killed to set off the war; so I will keep you safe," explained Wesley. Buttercup brought out a small dagger she had had in her dress. "I've learned a thing or two. I'm not quite as helpless as before. Let's go get him." And the two ran, hands clasped, in the direction that Humperdinck had gone. --- Elsewhere in the castle, a group of pirates growled, looking for more palace guards to fight. Unfortunately for them, the Humperdinck and his Count, along with his best guards surprised them from behind. The pirates went down with hardly a sound. "Are you sure this will work, by putting on their pirate... apparel?" asked one of the guards. "I am sure. It will give us the opportunity to get the drop on those pirates. But make sure the Princess stays alive- for now." They all put on pirate apparel, and went looking for people. "My liege, these pirates. May I use them for further research in the machine?" asked the Count. "Of course. I am not sure how that Wesley survived, but this time I intend to kill him myself. Besides him and Buttercup, you may have the rest." The Count smiled, and flexed his six-fingered hand. "Excellent." Day One has begun! It will end at 7PM EST on 6/3/18 Player List Today's fashion is using the language of the Priest! Hard consonants are gone in the jokes that will get all the points. Let the fun begin!

    Sign ups are over! The day one thread should be up within 15 minutes or so.

    (stupid previous post posted before I was done) 1. If you don't put in your iocaine choice, any tie you are in will go against you. 2. The final iocaine thing at the very end of the cycle is what I will use to determine who survives. You can change it as much as you want, and I'll just take the last one. 3. No posting in PM, Doc, or Thread. GM PM does not count as being active. People will be granted mercy if they inform me otherwise, I don't want people dying for no good reason if they'll be active again when they come back. 4. Fashions are during the whole cycle. I originally designed it with just the day, then realized that was silly. 5. Buttercup is a complete role block. I'll put all these rule clarifications in in a bit.
  18. Steeldancer
    Yay, last minute sign ups. quickly starts reshuffling things.
  19. Steeldancer
    Ok, quick rule clarification (I promise I'll edit these in later)- if Buttercup role-blocks someone who uses an action to create a PM, the PM is cancelled, and is not permanent.
  20. Steeldancer
    He’ll stick around. Speaking of which, right now we are looking at Miracle Max needing to revive 4 villagers and 2 eliminators. I’ll make the final announcement on that win con once day one starts, in case anyone else signs up.
  21. Steeldancer
    It counts towards his win condition, but then he would have to get him lynched. However, a kill/Lynch will always go into effect before a pill has the chance to. The vote gets cancelled first, so the dagger won’t be used up.
  22. Steeldancer
    Hooray! Also, @Coop772 has promised me that he was going to sign up, so I'm going to stick him on the player list.
  23. Steeldancer
    ... I wasn’t aware that was something I wanted to do
  24. Steeldancer
    It's a good day, because despite having caught a cold, it's my 18th birthday.

    OK, if you refuse to accept that OB is very much not targeted at young adults, then whatever. I am not going to continue this argument, because I feel like this is just going to get more toxic. Brandon Sanderson demonstrates in Oathbringer a truly fantastic understanding of humanity. I wonder what he went through in his life to be able to truly understand those emotions. Those kinds of experiences are the very thing that made me more mature and have a more adult viewpoint of the world. This book spoke to me, through that. All you seem content to do is belittle it. There ARE weaknesses, but that seems to be all that is consistently being pointed out, instead of the fact that Brandon has captured a piece of what it is to be human in the SA. Even more than Taln, or realmatics, that is why I love this book. And you defining it as YA is unfair to just how crucial that kind of understanding of people and responsibility and of choice is, to every single person living on this planet. It is not the fact that Dalinar burns down a city that makes it not YA. It is the struggle he goes through afterward, the struggles that each of the main characters have, the ones that, unlike any other author I have ever read, actually makes the characters feel real. The time it takes to explore things that don't particularly matter, helps make the world feel real and not just a flat plotline. Obviously, none of this argument is going to make a difference to you, so I will no longer be commenting on this thread. Just... stop putting your own expectations on these books. While there were bits that didn't fit, like Szeth or Amaram, Dalinar's story demonstrates that Sanderson knows what he is doing. You can continue to have your opinion, just realize it is narrow-minded and feels to me like you are trying to shove the story into a box so you can ridicule it more.
