Here’s my thoughts on the pieces of evidence as they relate to the clue “Religious Worship.” I’ve only marked off the ones I think absolutely don’t work. Everything else is fair game, though some are more obviously religious worship than others.

Just putting out a wild first guess: it’s Archer.

I’m asking because I’m supposed to do my first IM-ing gig for the next LG.

Yeah, we’re looking for someone to run the next LG. Ideally signups would go up soon after Araris’s QF starts.

We haven’t heard from @Random Bystander, and Ash and TKN have said they would prefer not to run their game. @Matrim's Dice would you be willing to run the next LG?

Scary mention indeed. I’ll accept though. If I can get mid-May or early-June, I’ll be golden. Also, I’m gonna nominate Araris Valerian. Has he done this yet? @Araris Valerian

@Araris Valerian Hey is this starting on the 16th or the 23rd? The 23rd is what it says in the signup post.

Alternatively, you could do what works best for me with any absurdly complex games: skim the rules and figure out what’s going on through context clues! I kid, I did give my approval for this game. So I definitely understood it at one point in time. Just still having trouble completely grasping it. But I’ll get there.

I mean, how would it be breaking the pattern? Mat just signed up as Jatrim. And Jariel is just a play on my common RP character, Variel. There’s precedent to just use a normal name but with a J instead

Would you perhaps have an alter called Jyde?

I'll be in as Jariel.

I say we should make it be a rock-paper-scissors duel. They submit their choice to the GM, and the GM reveals who beat who. And if there’s a tie, then the game ends in a draw.

Yeah, the wincon was weird. But it was designed to make it so that the outcome of the game didn’t come down to essentially a coin toss, you know? Which would’ve happened with you and Aman if the rules hadn’t been phrased that way, so my worries were at least valid. I do think it’s not the most ideal way to do it, but I’m unsure how else to handle it. What would you do?

Technically, there was a slim chance the village could’ve pulled a victory out of this. If the votes came down to 1-1 for TJ and Aman and Aman got exed, TJ would snap. And if TJ got vote manip, the game would have gone on. I’ll take note of that

I just realized I forgot to shoutout Wiz as winning with the team. I just fixed it. I am so sorry Wiz. My brain is fried right now.

Writeup to come once I go have time to go back and add one in for Cycle Six and this Aftermath. Today was much busier, crazier, and just generally more hectic than I thought it would be. Currently exhausted and brain dead. |TJ| has been killed! They were a Village Unsnapped! Amanuensis was sentenced for removal, but survived! The game is over! The Spiked have won! Congrats to Biplet, The Wandering Wizard (Kasimir), and Amanuensis for winning! Also, huge thank you to @Devotary of Spontaneity for IMing this game! Thank you so much to everyone who played! It was such a blast, as always, to run this game for y'all. I really do appreciate you guys so much. I hope you had as much fun as I did throughout the game! I'm excited to hear everyone's thoughts about how it went, and will probably have plenty to share at some point myself as well. There's already some thoughts from me scattered in the spec doc. Oh, also, big shout out to @The Wandering Wizard for subbing in for @Kasimir when he needed it. We both really appreciated it Anyway, enough of that, time for the stuff y'all actually care about. Player List: @JNV - Jen, plagued by horrors hidden by the dark Village Thug @Fifth Scholar - Weard Leoht...what kind of name is that anyway?

And that’s the Cycle! No more posting, voting, or submitting actions.

Okay, rollover will be at 10 pm CST today (aka Friday March 3rd).

Take this mini writeup as a token offering from my poor, tired brain for now. Biplet has been removed! They were an Inquisitor! Fifth Scholar has been killed! They were a Village Mistborn! Biplet (3): Araris Valerian, |TJ| Araris Valerian (1): Biplet, Fifth Scholar |TJ| (0): Amanuensis If you have not received a GM PM yet and are expecting one, please standby. They will be sent out shortly! There will be a removal during this Cycle. Tied votes will result in a random player within the tie being removed. There is no vote minimum, though no one is removed if no one votes. There is also an inactivity filter: if you a player does not vote for 2 consecutive Cycles, they will be removed. In addition, PMs are open for this Cycle. PMs may only be one-on-one, group PMs are not allowed. All PMs must include myself and the IM, @Devotary of Spontaneity. As a last reminder, feel free to contact her if you have any moderation concerns! We had full voting once again, so no inactivity warnings this time! Player List: This Cycle will end at 10 pm CST on Saturday, March 4th. I am also giving you guys the option of choosing to end the Cycle one day early. Same time, just on Friday, March 3rd instead. It would have to be a unanimous vote (in purple). If you guys do not choose to do this before 9 pm CST on Friday, then we will continue for the full Cycle.

And that's the cycle! No more posting, voting, or submitting actions!

Oops, forgot to send out my reminder before now, though it seems like you guys haven't really needed it all that much. Here it is anyway: You all have 24 minutes to finalize your votes/actions before rollover. @Fifth Scholar @Biplet @Araris Valerian @|TJ| @Amanuensis Also, here is the current VC. Please let me know if this is incorrect: Biplet (3): Fifth Scholar, Araris Valerian, |TJ| Araris Valerian (1): Biplet |TJ| (1): Amanuensis

I would recommend finding a co-GM.

The convert would flip as a Spiked [role(s) here]. The writeup would not specifically say they were a convert.

That’s fine. Also, I skimmed this and thought you said “spicy internet” at first. I was like “that’s a fun way to say terrible internet.”

Can you and @Ashbringer give more definite answers?
