What really needs to happen to keep this fair is to determine which houses had 5 individuals, because even with everyone having lost near the same number of members, those houses will have an advantage in votes and survival ability.

Seems smart to kill off Araris this cycle, then.

Dang. So I'm doing my Senior portfolio, where I compile stuff from high school in a binder, and I dug up some ancient referrals of mine from Kindergarten. They are fascinating. Mainly because I was kind of a mess socially, was ADHD, but they could already tell I was smart and had a bright future ahead of me if I could just control myself. I was one of the crazy kids who didn't follow instructions, so even while I was way ahead of the reading curve, I was socially super behind. I even found references to some of my favorite habits, like sneak reading, humming without realizing it, and being horrendously unorganized. Then I found some old artwork, and it was terrifying, so I just skipped ahead to my high school stuff. I've read my journals from the time of elementary school, and they are depressing. Fun stuff. Glad I'm almost done with school.

Ok, I don't get this. How is anyone "suspicious" in this game. You know for sure that you want everyone but who's in your house dead. Nothing else to it. There's no suspicion of someone being evil, because you know that they're out to kill you too! So, no one's suspicious. There's only people you want dead sooner than other ones.

You know, it's weird. I don't feel any better after the lynch. Faction games are so odd.

Yes, totally. But, that was a long time ago. And I very much doubt the moderators would put up with something like that happening. So yes, abiding by the rules is a good thing. But I feel like you're applying the old meta to this, and it's not really applicable.

Clearly you have some very different opinions than me. Even if Araris played like that, 3 years is more than enough time to have a change in playstyle. I doubt Araris or Shqueeves did it to mess with the GM. I mean, I've GMed before, and I wouldn't be offended by someone not having a character name. I would just incorporate him as Shqueeves. Furthermore, Straw doesn't seem as big on the writeups as I might be or like Joe or Hero. So while I sort of see where you are coming from, I don't see any of this as screwing with the game for their amusement.

Now here's where I'm confused. I have no idea what game that is. What I do have is how he's played recently. Specifically, the one that sticks out was LG35, where he very deliberately killed off less active villagers in order to give us a chance. (We still lost, but that was our own fault.) The Urbain thing... I don't know anything about it. I probably never even read that game. I assume he did it because maybe he remembers it fondly, or he was deliberately trying to confuse people. I mean, maybe you do have negative memories about that game, and that's why you're biased against him. But in recent games, I've been far more aggressive than I've ever seen Araris be. So perhaps he used to play that way, but he doesn't anymore, between that and how he played AG4.

Nope, I'm not Elariel. I wouldn't feel out of the loop if I was. Let me explain, yes he is bloodthirsty, yes he will lie. But even as an elim, he deliberately will let the village have a chance in order to make sure the game is fun. This is getting into the more meta side of things, but he plays more to have fun. He does not play in such a way as to be so aggressive that other players feel they aren't having fun. I've seen that first hand more than a couple of times. So, I trust him slightly more than the people being really aggressive in thread, ex. you and Itiah, even if I don't trust him as to like claim to him or something.

I don't really feel like a coalition. I just see a mutual threat. Araris isn't directly threatening saying "do this or I'll get you lynched," which is what Itiah did according to him. As I said before, given his less competitive playstyle, I'm inclined to believe he isn't making it up. I almost am a little put off by you putting that spin on it. Also, if what you say is true, then you and Itiah aren't in the same house. That both instantly messed up my guesses and makes me wonder why you are so dead set on killing Araris. I would feel like people should be pretty fluid about where their vote goes, as long as it's not on a member of their house. Why would you not want Itiah dead? What benefit does it bring you and your house?

You being in Snipexe's house changes nothing for me, personally. It's the threatening people that makes me nervous. I've played with Araris before, and even if I'm not sure if he's 100% telling the truth, it doesn't feel right for him to have made something like that up. Also, does anyone ever really want to die? Not really. But, please, keep giving me the information. Helps me feel a little less out of the loop.

Ok. So clearly we have have some craziness going on here. I feel totally out of the loop here, but I'm seeing a couple things here. Clearly, Itiah and Bort, and probably Cad Com are both in the same house. Araris is in a different house. It sounds like Itiah threatened some people with a coalition, but Itiah is denying it, and Bort is saying Araris is doing that same thing. Frankly, I feel like Itiah and Bort are being the much more antagonistic individuals. Araris seems pretty chill about this, and now that he's mostly exposed, I'm not entirely seeing what the big deal is. I am much more nervous about a house that is directly threatening people. So, I'd be fine with Araris dying, but personally I feel Itiah might be the bigger threat. I much prefer quiet stabbing than threats and grand gestures. I had assumed since Walin exposed himself that he would be more of a target, but as it seems that he is going more or less inactive, I'm going to assume he's no longer a priority. And, I was ninja'd. Pooh.

That’s a good point. Why ARE you Winnie the Pooh?

Hm. As fun as this is, I would have thought everyone would be more threatened by Walin.

Am I the only one who has boring nights? Honestly my PMs are always dead. How does so much happen?

amanuesis . I haven’t seen a peep from you, and yet you aren’t dead. @Amanuensis so what are up to?

I am sad. I just found out my head manager is leaving. He’s the guy who hired me, is super nice, and really likes me. I have fantastic managers, but he was the best. He always asks me about how I’m doing, and makes sure I’m on a tall register so I don’t break my back. And now he’s going to another store. I mean, the rest of my managers and coordinators are friendly too, but he was the best. I’m going to miss him.

I apologize. I haven't really voted or done anything at all. I will try to speak up a bit more, but man it's sometimes hard to come up with anything to say in these kinds of games.

Cool. Where Stormlight 4?

And I'll keep an eye on it, just in case you happen to drop dead or something.

Yup that too

When all you really want to write about on the AP lit test is Tarangavian.

Ah, right. I rooted about for that clarification but didn’t see it
