Walin

Oh...whoops. I lost track of time the past couple days and kept thinking I would return to the thread in time to participate before rollover, and just opened the thread for the first time to see that we won. Yeah, that's my bad. I should have been way more active than I was. Maybe I'll do Walin justice next Mistborn first-trilogy game, if I'm free to participate then! Intended to brush up by reading his chapter for better RP, but my copy of The Final Empire is back at my parents' house and I forgot to go to the library to check out another copy. Good game, everyone, the deck was stacked against you.

Hmmm. Well, I’m still busy and I forgot to check the thread, but this doesn’t bode well for the village. In payment for posting without analysis or even RP, I’ll roleclaim as Thug. And then try to fit my analysis/RP in during the day cycle.

I'm not going to vote yet this turn, still reading through the remainder of Night 1 and trying to piece things together from the entire game so far. From just Day 1, I still don't have any suspicion towards anyone; while I'm happy to have *an* execution I didn't want to be the deciding vote. Catching up on a few other things outside of SE so I'll be back...in about 16 hours. Possibly sooner, but that's my forecast for when I'll rejoin the thread with a vote. As for PM's, I'll be active all night. Though I'm only in two right now, so that will be rather easy.

...huh. I could move a vote onto myself leaving us with a five-way tie, and I really don't want to be the tie-breaker. However, that would assume a bit of personal risk that I don't want to go through with. For the moment (and it may well be the last action I take this Day cycle considering how little time is left before rollover) I'll remove my vote on |TJ|. Sorry, Biplet. I'm not taking tiebreaker yet either.

Walin had survived through so much to get here. So…much. After the Pits of Hathsin were destroyed, he was in a daze. Food was scarce in the Pits, but it did exist, and outside the necessities of life were less of a guarantee. The two greatest boons were fewer beatings and executions. It still didn’t find him a place to sleep or something to eat. He didn’t know the streets well enough to barter away his bead of atium for a fair price. After days of starvation, he sold it for a place to sleep for a week. The irony of bartering such a treasure for no greater than he would ordinarily receive was not lost on him. But it was enough to get him on his feet. Bartering and scavenging for months, making deals when he could and fleeing when he had to, Walin found himself in a shelter enduring another systemic collapse. How funny it was, that he thought the Pits were the worst it could get. Of course, they were, for him personally, but now the world was at stake. That had to count for more. ——————————————— Uhhh I vote TJ. Bandwagon time. Sorry to do this to you D1.

Huh. You know, given the timeline placement of this game, I could conceivably play as my namesake. I've never roleplayed as the one-chapter character named Walin; I had just picked his name as my username because it was a one-off name from the books. You know what, I'll try it. I'll try and roleplay as Walin for this game.

Thanks for the game! It was a lot of fun. I haven't played SE in a while, and this was a good one to come back to. ...I really thought that I would be active this time around, but my time management skills still have not improved whatsoever. Old habits die hard. Anyway, it was a lot of fun seeing the writeups and hanging out in the team doc. Last place wasn't so bad!

Time to hop in for my first game in...wow, almost two years. That's the last time I even posted on 17th Shard, too. Gonna pick the name "Brennan" since I imagine this is following Dreamer canon, I'd probably have a non-fantasy name and I only know English names off the top of my head.

Wait, Braize went kablooey? Alright, I’ll read the other cycles. Also, joining a hammer is both e!me and v!me behavior. Especially considering that in that first hammer, I voted out TWW who was Hoid. I’m playing by the seat of my pants right now, everyone. Or, was. I’m going to read the rest of the rules and cycles and maybe get caught up enough to contribute. Just to repeat my reasoning that’s I’ve checked the rules for—if there’s 7 alive players and 5 Avatars plus Bavadin right now, then a death of two non-Avatars means Autonomy wins. I don’t see how erasing the last Hoidite is a higher priority than reducing the number of Avatars. Now that I know Braize is gone I don’t have any plans and likely may not be very helpful from here on out, but me dying seems less productive than going after an Avatar. Me being Bavadin is a much scarier alternative, and I’d understand if you go after me for that, but I don’t get going after me for being a Hoidite. ————— Trukal had some oatmeal.* ————— *Trukal is not an exact representation of me and my actions during the game. I did not have oatmeal.

Weeeellllppp. Trying to go for the train is a tried technique of mine but in this case not a true one. I can’t remember the last time it did work, anyway. Also TJ, I’m not a Hoidite, if you’re basing that conclusion off my last post. Looking at the roles I don’t really know what the Hoidites can do right now, and removing the Avatar almost-majority seems like a much higher priority. I’m going for a charge tonight (I have 2 with me), worldhopping to Braize, and killing an Avatar, if uninterrupted. I haven’t been following the game closely but that seems pretty cut and dry to me. As far as I can tell it will be easy to get a Researcher win once the Avatars are taken care of. I haven’t looked at either Odium’s or Ruin’s win conditions but Drake seems to want to give up his shard, so that just leaves Ruin that I need to brush up on, and Autonomy appears (to me) to be a clear population-threat. I’m going to go read over the relevant rules sections tomorrow and get back to you. I’ve got time tomorrow to go over the threads as well but I can’t guarantee that I’ll do that. ———————— Trukal awoke sleeping in a cot. This was a guest room in Silverlight, it seemed; had he wandered so far from his sleeping quarters that he just fell asleep in a random abandoned room? No, as he awoke he realized this was deliberate. Continuing to avoid any way he could be tracked or betrayed, discussing with other researchers over the Coppernet or in groups. Yet another researcher had been killed because of a disagreement on guilt. Well, now that he was up, it was time to do some research.

Oof I’m sliding in under the bell, sorry everyone I’ll add on the train on Araris to counter any Avatars, but I’m really surprised no one’s been going for them the last couple cycles. Hoid needed to get all 16 Shards and wasn’t even close. If we lose one more villager after this we may lose to Autonomy. ——— Trukal got rollover’ed and did not do anything interesting.

Yeah I’ll go for an Endowment breach! I…don’t think I’m thinking of the same player to revive that you are. But anyway best of luck to getting it if E breaks out. ——— Trukal joined another group chat to vote, this time hopefully better informed. They were going to attempt to breach the Endowment shard.

I guess I’ll vote Wizard because of the train rn. I don’t have time to check for what I should actually do. But I was asked to vote and I said I would, so here it is. ——— Trukal sent a message within the system. He didn’t know what or who the researchers were talking about, but a standard “I agree” should cover his bases for a few minutes while he got his bearings.

Sorry will vote in a few minutes. I’ve been busy the last few days, and I totally should have expected a lack of free time but neglected to make plans for my remaining time. Aka I forgor. ——— Trukal forgor

I'll join in on the game again tomorrow. Still very busy today. -------------------- Trukal made a quick phone call. "Oh, and how is Lorn Haemtes? To shreds, you say. Well..." The conversation continued after that point, but the first few moments were a good indicator of how it would go. Some condolences, some bafflement (silently kept in), and some overall disappointment that now would be a bad time to ask about that zincmind medallion he had lent the man. Well, as far as personal survival went, he would probably be alright just having wakefulness available.
