Hemalurgic Headshot

Okay. "Confused villagers not knowing what to vote" was a general statement, because I had not gone through to check on what each player had thought about the voting options. I was just taking the general feeling I felt from reading the posts and expressing that in a statement. What else?

Well, Orlok, the point made about Long Games was because my mind and the game were at two different paces. The game is not affected by RL, but my mind is. I have been quite busy this week and last. So pardon that slip. Listen here: because of Kelsier's ability to convert part-Skaa to their cause, who would they target? The most valuable and most active players we have. I can think of two individuals that could be placed in this category: Orlok and Aman. Both put extensive analysis into each cycle and remained fairly active, Aman especially active. Aman expressed that he had not been converted yet, but it would be very likely soon. This may or may not be trustworthy. Orlok, however, is a different story. He has mentioned nothing about whether he was Noble or Skaa, but was much more outgoing. He has maintained this behavior. So I suspect that either Orlok has been a Skaa since the beginning of the game or was converted last Night. Either way, Orlok is Skaa.

I fully support this.

<illusion set and activated> HARVEY walked through the midday crowds on the main road. Its weather forecast predicted clear skies for today, with a 30% chance of rain that night. Its mission was unclear, but possible solutions had already been calculated for 42% of all possible outcomes, with the data available. However, it would need the next software update to scan and filter minds for interrogation. It would be picked up for maintenance next month. So many humans. Does that one know he has intestinal parasites? Or that female, who is pregnant? The medical advances of this world are behind to say the least. HARVEY continued to walk, maintaining the appearance of an ordinary human male.

You haven't done any Allomantic symbols yet. I suggest the Allomantic chart, arranged radially.

Uh, Welcome to the Shard! I think this belongs in the Mistborn thread. And the Inquisitor would still die. They are not dead, even if their souls have been severely twisted by Hemalurgy. Removing the spinal spike would kill an Inquisitor because it would cause its soul to fall away from the body. Cutting the spine with a Shardblade would do pretty much the same thing.

You get "fast food". *inserts FDA*

I just hope you'll be able to pull through this.

I mostly just listen to dubstep, but I know some great songs in that genre if you want them. And Happy Pi Day everyone!

Oh no, I'm all out of Raisin Bran!

You get an empty fish that smells of soy sauce. *inserts penguin*

Be looking forward to it!

Oh no, my waffle is actually a pancake! And my toaster caught fire!

Okay, I just finished one of my many school projects due this week, and I thought that we still had a full day in the Night cycle. Apparently not. So now things get interesting, and lively! (or deadly, most likely) Four different kill orders went out last Night, and a Skaa was killed! A Metallurgist and a Kandra were killed, both Noble, and Gold Ferring was killed! It's good that Ecth was killed before the extra lives made things really crazy. The information is great. With that many kills going out each night, and if we have Kelsier, Ruin, a Coinshot, the Skaa kill, and possibly TLR all using a kill action during the cycle, the numbers of players could drop quite fast. The best way to keep Nobles alive is to lynch a Skaa Coinshot or Kelsier this cycle. I believe that Aman is Noble for now, but like many are saying, Kelsier is likely going to attempt to convert him tonight. So we need to find and lynch Kelsier today. @Elbereth, if a player were to be killed by an action during a night cycle, but another player's action killed the player killing the first player, would the first player still die?* *highlighted for identification.

The government steals them! *inserts the hermit from the woods*

I pretty sure there was only one person who did that. You don't need to be so secretive of your suspicions.

I will definitely welcome you to the Shard! And don't eat the cookies.

Welcome to the Shard! Great to have you here. Don't eat the cookies.

Okay. I will explain my actions. So to begin with, I was too excited. I forgot that the pacing of a LG is much slower. I was ready for things to progress, get information, etc. So the game begins, and I read through what had been posted. I saw what Mage had said and thought, "that is reasonable behavior for the beginning of a game, and Mage made some good suggestions." So I said so. I was going to step back and see what the more analytical players had to say. My reason for a short post was simple: that was all I had to say, and I did not think I had to say anything more. So now Joe analyzes the cycle, and thinks I'm suspicious because my behavior of not contributing to the current discussion was not beneficial and encouraged further inactivity. I found that Joe would think that suspicious interesting. Now, in AG3, I had the habit of sticking onto bandwagons. It was useful in getting a lynch going, and because AG3 was my first game, I thought that strategy acceptable. So, I contributed to the bandwagon. I was concerned with the lack of information, but that concern was... ridiculous, because, as Orlok mentioned, D1 always has a lack of information. And what Orlok said was true. I was admitting that. It wasn't a defense, I had none to give. I thought that, as I just stated, that I found my actions not suspicious at all, but perfectly reasonable, seeing that my analysis would be insignificant to that of others, like Orlok or Aman, thus not exactly necessary, because I would simply agree with them. Other people think that a lack of analysis as suspicious. This is what I meant as "a matter of perception." Now, when I asked, it was mostly a rhetorical question, and I did not expect an answer. Really, I was worried about seeming suspicious, more than I already had been. But I can't rewrite the past, so my actions are going to stay as they are. Just like any other reasonable person, I don't like to die, so I want to avoid it for as long as possible. I doubt a roleclaim is a reasonable thing to do this early in the game, especially since it is the Night cycle, and it won't effect any vote except for the Elim's kill choice. I was specifically worried about being a prime target because multiple players had expressed that after phatt, that they were most suspicious of me for similar reasons. @OrlokTsubodai, I hope that this is an adequate explanation of my previous deeds.

I love the write up El! So now I am instantly incriminated for momentarily participating in phatt's lynch and for being suspicious. But I'm not the only one in that lynch! Jon, Joe, Ecth, Len, Aman, Arinian, Drought, Mage, and Rand all participated. Of course, there are too many people for them all to be Elims, but maybe that is a start. And it's Night, so actions can be done. Good night!

...granted. They are all now zombies. I wish a Swiss Army knife that has a hemalurgic spike for every blade.

I'll submit some RP once I get home, I do much better on my laptop for typing. And I agree, the RP is the best part. Pablo might meet up with Remart. The benefits of having multiple characters
