    Nerkel went up to the crowd of bridgemen. “I did it! I Poisoned Div, and there are others too!” He pointed randomly into the group. “My poison bottle is by the lumberyards, but you’ll kill me before I show you exactly where. I’m sorry, but I had to do this.” He ran. @Straw, eh. I’m a dead man anyways, I’ll take whatever actions I can. Also, the pandemonium is like the suspicion of Joe’s analysis’ accuracy, but hopefully ramped up and not eventually discounted (because I’m totally an elim and therefore more truthful than if I was village, because I have the knowledge of who’s an elim)

    Nerkel got his few diamond chips and bought a bottle. He got some cremwater and put it in, then tried remember those who gave the most furtive looks when Jost died. Most of the bridgemen were always stressed, so he knew it wasn’t a perfect indicator. If it was, the whole crew would have figured out the poisoners and killed them already. So he grabbed the bottle and shook it around, splashing crem on and around it. He then filled the bottle with water and hid it.

    Nerkel has a plan. He didn’t know how or why some bridgemen were poisoning others. It just didn’t make any sense. The other bridgemen has started to give him dirty looks today, and it wasn’t because of the jokes. Nerkel hasn’t even said any today; he was too stressed after Div was poisoned in the morning and revealed that there was more than one nefarious attacker. He knew he would soon be dead anyways, so he got a plan ready.

    Steeldancer responded, and I think the pandemonium only will be effective if I start it now. I’m an eliminator! I’m going to be killed by N2 anyways, and I intend to go out in style for my first SE game. Thus, I’m going to take out the other elims with me by listing them off. @Darkness_ was right, @StrikerEZ is an elim. Also, @BrightnessRadiant and @Straw are the remaining ones. I’ll die with disHonor. Let the pandemonium begin.

    Ah ok then. Straw Walin just want to jump on an SE vote train before I lose—trying to go out in a blaze of glory. ”vote train” not “bandwagon” because the reasoning for the votes was pretty good. Hopefully @TheMightyLopen responds in time for my wildcard.

    Straw, because I [strikethrough]can[/strikethrough] already did. Thanks Steeldancer.

    Eh, I have five votes so I should pull out my offensive. By the way @Roadwalker, I haven’t played forum mafia before. I’m voting against Straw (on mobile so I can’t color text) because of his weird vote on Darkness—not that voting against him is odd, but the reason given applied to almost everyone in D1, unless I’m mistaken. This is kind of a poke vote. Randuir’s and Darkness’s reasonings for calling me an eliminator are very good. Probably there’s more evidence against me than anyone else. However, it’s the wrong analysis. I’m an incoherent villager, not an incompetent elim. Also, I’m not sure whether my wildcard is allowed. @TheMightyLopen, can I send a GM PM to show you the gist of the post personally before I whip it out?
  8. Walin
    I don’t have a lot of votes, or ideas on how to defend myself. Later in the day (if I still have some votes) I’ll go on the offense, since I’ve exhausted my defense. If it’s really late, and I’m first in line for the village attack, then I’ll pull out my wildcard.

    Some theories: Jondesu is a Tough Spy, thus the elims decided to do a WGG. Probably not though. Jondesu is village, and a Village Assassin tried to KO him because he seemed suspicious. Maybe, but unlikely. Jondesu is village, and the elims have an Assassin or Poisoned Guardsman they’re using for their KO’s. He was just the first. Possible, and a little more likely. I hope posting an analysis doesn’t make me suspicious like Joe in the Bush...

    I’m forgetting to PM a lot of people. Anyways, sorry to bust the theorizing, @randuir but the guy who convinced me not to start bluffing or lynch the first cycle was my identical twin brother who doesn’t have an account, but browsed some SE lately. Second anyways, I’m thinking I probably won’t be very active on the thread for the next few days; I’m on mobile so I can’t color my text, but I’m out of town until Sunday afternoon. Third anyways, here’s my RP for the night: Nerkel checked the bodies. They rarely had any spheres, but it was welcome when they did. It brought more light into the chasms during the dark scavenging, removing some of the eeriness of the task. He always found it hard to joke after chasm duty. And after runs. And in the afternoon, when he saw bridgemen in other barracks sitting morosely instead of stressfully pacing, like Bridge 11. Tenodin seemed to dislike chasm duty as much as Nerkel did, though he was less talkative. If only this whole poisoning thing didn’t happen, this bridge crew would be more cooperative, Nerkel internally monologued. That, and maybe if I didn’t discourage conversation by punctuating every sentence with a joke. Heh.
  11. Walin
    Huh. Would you look at that.
  12. Walin
    Jondesu, to cancel out the Joe votes. It's a little too bandwagony
  13. Walin
    I have a strategy for rooting out eliminators, and if anyone calls that bluff and assassinates me we may never know it. What did the Nerkel do before getting Eliminated? He told some punless jokes and bluffed his way to victory. Some jokes for real, let’s just say that Nerkel says all of these offscreen. Soulcast grain: Bland Sand Brand (tm) How did the gambling spearman fight? With scissors and a pouch, in case of gemstone-bearded Parshendi! What kind of Stormlight casts warm shadows? The ones with a cool color! (blue, green, purple; kind of a weak pun since Stormlight light is already cold) When the sphere was finished emitting Stormlight, it was done/dun. What do you call the ardent actors in a play? The SoulCast.

    A novella about Axies would be pretty sweet, though I’m guessing that Taln and others can reveal stuff about Aimia in a more plot-relevant way.
  15. Walin
    @randuir Makes sense; I’ll avoid voting until a little later. I will try to tie up the votes near the end of this cycle; I’ll vote on whoever has the second-most votes.
  16. Walin
    The same guy who convinced me to not bluff as an eliminator made the point that every time a lynch happens C1, it never ends well. Why should we go through the ordeal of bandwagon lynching a random person, when statistically they turn out a villager? The evidence against everyone is weak enough to be explained as inattention or carelessness, not a Freudian slip. "But [villagers], we're not going to be this kind of [standard SE player]. [Lynches] in [early cycles], killing a [quick theorizer] because we find [them suspicious], telling ourselves it's for the good of the [village].If I [vote against] a [SE player], I'm going to do it [with hard evidence], and I'm going to do it only because [the eliminators are encroaching and there's nothing left to do]." -WoR page 1216, [me] talking to [the rest of the MR25 bridgemen]

    I offered to role trade early with a couple people too. I think it would be more suspicious to say you’re a villager right off the bat than to remain strangely silent, myself. Speaking of which, since it’s easier to just post it here instead of sending 15 more PM’s, is anyone willing to trade roles and maybe ask a favor so I can call one in late game?
  18. Walin
    I’m realizing that I didn’t PM as many people as I should have, especially considering that I want to increase Night activity. If anyone wants to trade roles with me, they’ll learn that it’s not because I’m an eliminator. Probably shouldn’t have said that above paragraph... Anyway, a response RP to Lemonelon: Nerkel washed his gear. He was bruised after his “arm-wrestle” with Ellenie, who slammed his arm down on a table, then proceeded to punch him in the face and kick him in tge gut. A fight broke out, and he got away before he got caught up in the Thrill, thankfully. He never trusted himself with the Thrill; it was like he could kill a person. That was why he used to work as a lumberman, not a soldier. He passed the time thinking of a few jokes, but he couldn’t make any that were funny to anyone but him.

    Nerkel washed dishes. He made a few bubbles with some soap, dirt and water and said they were foodspren. A cook saw what he was doing and put him to polishing. To amuse himself silently, he tried aiming metal dishes at commanding officers and making faces. A soldier turned and saw that, too, and whacked him in the gut. I guess that’s good it stopped before a lighteyes saw it and took me to my grave, Nerkel remarked. I just need to do something amusing, yet unnoticeable. He decided to think up a joke to tell the other bridgemen when they were done. When he got back to the barracks after dinner, he unleashed what he had created. ”Hey guys, what happens when you get a rock and throw it into the chasms?” “... Some peace and quiet?” A bridgeman asked, somewhat sarcastically. “Well, yeah, actually. I didn’t think you’d get that one.” Nerkel smiled and sat down, glad to have told one stupid joke between becoming a bridgeman and dying. Hopefully he could avoid getting in trouble tomorrow long enough to think of a good one.

    Maybe Mraize eats maize in preparation for the maze of m(ayonn)aise on the path to Braize--to fight Rayse, the Cosmere to raze. Yeah, sorry...

    They do work that way, but the main difference is that they change based on people recording their information. In real life, when stuff changes due to it being observed, it’s not because its info is known. It’s because the very act of measuring it requires that we do something to it. Imagine there’s a box, but you don’t know what’s inside it. You shake it to learn by the sound it makes. There’s a sound of breaking porcelain, and you’re like, “Well now I know it’s broken china.” In the case of really small things like quarks and stuff, whatever’s in the box always becomes broken porcelain; the pitch and loudness of it determines what it is, but it won’t be the same as it was before you measured it. I can list off the top of my head at least two reasons that was a bad analogy, but I hope you caught the gist of it. Anyways, spren are partly of the Cognitive Realm, meaning that being measured changes them by the recording of the information, not the gathering of it. But those are some pretty striking similarities, yeah.

    Elantris seems more like a one-season TV event, maybe hosted on Netflix like Stranger Things. Mistborn Era 1 could easily be split into two movies (Final Empire, then Well of Ascension/Hero of Ages combined) due to the first's ending being a standard sequel hook rather than a super obvious one like at the end of Well of Ascension. Stormlight would need a lot of CGI, for the spren as well as for surgebinding. Actually, almost everything except maybe indoor scenes would have to be green screened due to the massive amount of foreign landscapes. Don't know about the shorter Cosmere works or non-Cosmere books...
  23. Walin
    Yeah 11 sounds good to me
  24. Walin
    Wait, are we voting on a common bridge number because we're in the same crew, or are we all in different crews but somehow sociable enough to meet each other in a tavern every night? I'm thinking the former, in which case I'm still leaning towards bridge 5. Some others I think are good: 11, 7, and any single digit number other than 4 (like @Straw's 3.)
  25. Walin
    Hearing the words “Victory Points” immediately brought to mind Settlers of Catan. That could easily be modded into a Shattered Plains game, what with the hexagonal tiles, random resource acquisition, and need to build roads (permanent bridges). Sounds pretty cool, though you could also make a Risk-like game as Fourth Of The Night said.
