Or perhaps what Witness!me would say to village!you? Or pehaps elim!you? Not 100% sure yet still.

Don't give me more game ideas. I already have too many. Hey, just because my methods/evidence were very likely not the assassin's stuff, doesn't mean that I wasn't elim

Legitimately though, I don't remember ever being voted on as a GM. If someone else happens to remember it and wants to point it out to me, I'd greatly appreciate that. Only because I made like 2 posts total throughout both games. I'm sure if I had managed a bit more activity, I would have been accused of something.

I've been voted out so many times as a player...but have I ever been voted out as a GM? :thonk: Also, damn, once again missed all the fun. I was working on an application, decided to finish it tomorrow, came here to get caught up and throw out an accusation, just to find out Stick beat me to the punch. I hadn't even had the chance to decide which evidence and murder weapon to accuse Ash of yet....

Okay, I’m gonna do something a little different this time. Gonna make a list of what combo of clues work best for each player. Also I apologize for the formatting, as I’m doing this on mobile. TKN: Shardblade + White Clothing Aman: Dagger + Cremlings Kas: Meekers + Artifact Alpha: Steelrunning + Crab legs/Cigar case Fifth: Acid + Pet Monkey JNV: Soulcasting + Hog Life came up so I had to stop early. Hopefully will be able to get the rest of my guesses in either this cycle or next.

Okay, let’s do this again. So ready to start making those little charts again now that I have a bit more time.

I’ll be back in as Adodin, obviously not an attempt to mimic the well known Alethi highprince Adolin Kholin.

Well. Damn. That’s not the thought process I was going down at all. I was all ready to come in here and guess Aman, based on the vibes I was getting from him. Hadn’t decided on which of his clues to guess yet, but I was pretty sure he was an elim. With that done, I am very curious to see who the Witness is. Even as an Investigator, I hope it wasn’t one of the complete inactivates. Just for the elims’ sakes.

I figured everyone else was doing the murder weapons, so I’d do evidence. And the religious worship clue was the only clue I could see on my screen on mobile while also looking at the evidences. Posting this now so I don’t lose it before going to page 2

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.
