I’m also fine with people voting on me \:P. However, I’m a villager and will hopefully type out more before the cycle’s over, though I doubt I have time. Either way, I’m probably going to get killed soon since I’ll claim being a Firesoul.
-
Noooooooo Elandera!! At least we got a Loyalist in return, but I must mourn Kynedath's loss as well. Elims are valuable members of the team, giving us reads and info that we can go back to analyze. Also, I'm not going to vote until I read some stuff in the backlogs that I've only been skimming over. This calls for some serious analysis for which I am not up, so I'm gonna have to prepare tomorrow to do so. ---- Lerin was pretty sleep-deprived. Of course, that was probably because he was secretly part of a big meeting with Loyalists in attendance, but that reason applied to everyone. Now that he looked more closely, he saw they were a little sleep-deprived too.
-
Quick recap question: are we all in agreement that Emi and Ashbringer are soft-cleared, and are there any other topics we have a consensus on? And it looks like we've still got favorable village numbers, though a mislynch and mis-village-kill could bring us frighteningly close to parity.
-
I didn't get roleblocked by Ventyl, though I didn't use any Allomantic power (sorry). Uh, and since I still haven't looked through the game like I said I would, nor plotted out anything, I'll be making half my claim here. I'm a Copper Misting (hence not using it last night, though I forgot it could be used because I hadn't used my Feruchemical action. Good luck, all!
-
I have nothing very useful to say, but as it may help us narrow down suspects for the elims, I’m considering claiming. I’ll read the thread(s) through after the cycle’s over (don’t have enough time now) and figure out what else I can do, but for now that’s all I’ve got.
-
I'll return tomorrow, but first I'll offer my two cents by saying Ventyl can roleblock me. I'm sure my role won't be of a whole lot of use, technically, though I'd like to keep it secret until the day is more over than it is now. Also, having procrastinated the whole day, I'm going to plan for tomorrow on reading the past two cycles if I can. What it seems like from my current skimming, Ventyl and Ash are the two most under-suspicion, while we don't have a whole lot of evidence saying that one is elim and one is village. Is that right? ------- Lerin probably did interesting stuff. To him, it was interesting. But to others, perhaps it would not be. You see, with all of this stuff about the Loyalists and Faceless Immortals, it would be kind of strange to suggest something else as a course of discussion to follow. And no, Lerin was not thinking about instruments nor mayonnaise; neither zinc nor brass would tell you someone's thoughts. No, tin could not let you read someone's mind by studying their mannerisms and facial expressions. No, Lerin had not started thinking about mayonnaise and instruments when he thought the conversation was over. Lerin stalked away from the room despite not actually having that conversation with anyone. He'd find mayonnaise somewhere else, without all these pestering thoughts.

Hey, everyone! Sorry I haven't posted...at all. I'd like to say that I was busy, but it was more procrastination. I likely won't be able to read cycle 1 before the end of this cycle, but I'll read through all the posts of today if I can and offer some insight. And hopefully figure out if it'll be a good idea to claim or not, hehe.
-
I’ll join since the game looks really good and needs players, but I can’t promise good activity. Before reading the rules, I’m going to say that I’ll probably just place votes based on other players’ analysis, do RP, and put in actions. I’d like to set aside more time to do it properly, but alas, I won’t. I’ve got lots of things to do as well. Signing up as Lerin.

Wow, there was a lot to this game. It was a blast for a comeback to SE, though I think I'll be too busy to join the next game(s) without slipping into the same level of inactivity I was in this game. With being an elim and reading a doc that was *that* long and had additions every day, as well as not having many ideas for RP nor much experience with analysis, I wasn't very active in thread (as per usual, though I think I tried harder this game). Nor in PMs for that matter, lol. I was a bit salty at getting killed the turn after I became a Master, thus not being able to use those newfound powers, but it was funny and (obviously) a good thing for the village. And at the same time, in Mafia anything goes, and you can be killed or sabotaged at any moment. The mechanics were all fun; Naming (as expected) was extremely popular, so I stayed clear of that to get as much elevation as I could, picking Alchemy at the beginning (but even more than that, with an elim team, planning for specific fields and abilities means going into just one field). I thought about some potential RP things I could do, like hinting I was going to Imre despite never going there, going insane as an Alchemist and blowing up several areas--Green Rover and I thought about distributing bone tars to all the Skindancers so we could blow everything up simultaneously, but that obviously didn't happen. Thanks for the game!

Wheeoo! Time to cram in another post right before the cycle's over, without doing proper analysis. I do assure you all, I have a notebook, but for now all it consists of is the title "LG65: KKC University (Walin's Notes)." Ahem. Zillah, Zillah, yay bandwagoning, I'm gonna go set my actions since I didn't earlier. ------ Lin Wa was confused, because he thought that as a Master he wouldn't have to keep cramming and studying quite so hard. After all, he'd learned enough that he could instruct and grade, right? Wrong. There was always a need to study, not to mention the sheer thirst for knowledge that attacked him sometimes. It was strange that he would still be stuck in a book after hours, even after finishing all his tasks for the day.

Hey, everyone! I have lots of ideas for what I'm going to do, but without any solid direction I don't think I'll end up being very helpful. Any direction on what to do would be greatly appreciated (though I won't be saying my field yet, lol--gotta keep some paranoia going). I started the game in Windy Tower, but I actually ended up with 17 EP in total (somehow) in my field; I also put in 1 EP for Naming just in case I got a Naming friend to elevate me. I'll look through my GM PM's to figure out how that happened, since in the words of Kronk, "by all accounts it doesn't make any sense." Though I never lost any EP to DP, and as I read it it seemed to make sense. I plan to post some analysis this turn, though my habit of procrastination may end up changing that. My reads: Xineohp is quite villager, especially considering what's been said this turn to un-clear and re-clear him, and so do Fura and Elandera. I'm not sure about the rest, though in some PM's I indicated I'd be taking some notes this turn so I can do analysis. ------ Lin Wa was doing very cool things. *Very* cool things. But he wouldn't tell you about it, because as he was recently elevated to the rank of Master, he was too busy trying to find his notebooks, figuring out which students needed more instruction, and feeling like an imposter because he didn't have nearly the capacity to be a Master. But better to accept the rank than not to, right? Somehow, despite feeling so unlike a Master, the power started to get into his head. Imagine all the things he could do and get away with it...not like he would do anything but delve into more books, but it was nice knowing the lack of limits. He hoped that he wouldn't later do something rash, what with the Skindancers and his newfound position. Perhaps he would be instrumental in stopping them, though without the help of other students he would likely help them instead.
-
Hmmmmm it appears I have went under the radar once again with my procrastinatory habits. I don't have anything useful to say this time, either; neither have I taken any notes on the cycle so far. I'll, uh, do that. In a bit. During rollover, probably. Uh, let's see where the lynch goes. I have no read on Kynedath, for all that matter.
-
Sorry I haven't been active this turn. Uh, I got nothing to say, really. I have a bit of a village read on Xineohp, DeTess, and Fura, and neutral reads on everyone else (except Bard, because he's got a lot of votes and I think a bandwagon on cycle 3 is probably well justified? Also WGG's are good to check for; sorry Bard if it's not one, but we gotta stay safe)--I've got no more comments, and no time to make them anyway. ------ Lin Wa had eaten a banana. It tasted good. That didn't help his mood. He had written down all he needed to know, but he had misplaced his notebooks, so they were of no use to him! (aka I haven't taken any notes)
-
Ok; for the rest of the turn it’ll be impossible for me to write anything down about other players, so I must once again defer judgement to them. Uh, I’ll do some analysis next turn if I remember to do so. I noticed a few people tagging me for my thoughts on the game; sorry I haven’t delivered on that front. I think that in order of priority, we have: Starting to lynch people, using our abilities (people are hopefully already doing that), PM’ing (lots of people are doing it but I’m not; I’ll get into it next turn), and then other things I forgot. I didn’t include Imre or other things in the list, since they heavily depend on what you’re planning on doing. Hmmmm...since I won’t be around for the rest of the cycle, I won’t put any poke votes on anyone, and I don’t have a firm enough read on anyone to really vote on them. Next cycle I’ll do it. ————— Lin was walking around, looking for something. Even though he was out in the open, and hadn’t walked through a doorway in about ten minutes, he had just experienced a short-term loss of memory, for he didn’t know what he was doing. That was strange; he had thought that sort of thing only happened when walking into another room while indoors. Oh, right! He had been looking for the students who seemed to be more focused on the Skindancers; they had already told him what they knew (and what they suspected), but this time he was armed with something important: a notebook to write all of this down. And if they had learned more since the last conversation together, all the better! Hopefully when his studies for the day, were over, he could finally put an end to the confusion that he had over all this. And perhaps he would be of use to the rest, if he studied hard enough to draw some certain conclusions. Though after recording all of the other students’ thoughts, he still had to do his regular studies before turning over to study those. And that would take a while, considering how much homework the Masters gave him. It seemed that ever since he was elevated, they began to expect more than he was capable of. It was frustrating, but it was definitely a good thing to be elevated. So Lin just kept walking, looking for the other students, content to study their words after his other priorities were seen to.
-
Hmmmm. So it appears I haven't been good at being active. I'll be busy tomorrow, so I'll be trying to get all of my posts in right now. As far as analysis goes, I'll defer to the better judgement of other players; I don't have any good gut reads seeing as (uh oh) I haven't read the entirety of each turn, and for the posts that I read I just forget about who posted what, and eventually, what was posted at all. Looks like votes are still at very low number, which we'll need to increase. The likelihood that a Skindancer will fail on any of their sabotages is getting better, because more people have been elevated, and more nobles may have obtained protection. But that doesn't do any good if we don't do anything in return to retaliate against the Skindancers; abilities are a good way to do so, though we can add the lynch to all of that. ------------ Lin Wa sat down on a stool. He had been thinking about all of this stuff, but not very hard. Honestly, he needed to write everything down. However, he never really tried to. Being too distracted by his studies, or too tired to do so, or just lacking a writing utensil, he had never managed to record all he had learned about this Skindancer issue. And because of that, he started to forget about it. There were Skindancers, who were disguised as students. They were out to sabotage the University. Certain people...were suspicious (of others), and if you believed hearsay, other certain people...were suspicious (in their behavior). But despite hearing everyone's reasonings, and even agreeing with them, by the end of the day he forgot about whom, exactly, they were suspicious of being a Skindancer. It was time to just strap a notebook to his wrist and keep something to write with on him at all times.

Lin was studying when he learned about it. Not only had he received a candy, but so had everyone else. It was good to know how much goodwill was going around. Well, now that he thought of it, it was probably just one student that had done it. Lin was eating lunch when he learned about it. Another student had been driven insane, this time Sagaer. It was rather disconcerting news, as Lin had thought that there weren't so many skindancers as to be so brazen. The first time seemed like an isolated attack, a reminder of "we are here"--but not a full-on assault. It was time to step up, then. Lin Wa would do his part, taking his interests in liguistics (and his studies in the non-Linguistic Arcane classes) and other talents to do his duty. After all, if the Skindancers were going to drive students insane, they would probably do the same to professors--and then how would they go to class?? Only one thing could be done. The students had to band together. Now that Lin Wa thought about it, they probably already had. Feeling sheepish, he walked over to the nearest group of students to see how he could help. ------ Sorry for my relative inactivity; I hope to get more active in the coming turns.

Hey, everyone! Sorry for not responding when I said I would--I could have, I just didn't. I'll jump into activity right now. In terms of analysis, I don't have much to go on. I've never been one for heavy analysis in SE, so I'll just go based on the people who made vote-count lists as well as player lists of other types. It appears to me that people who keep a lot of tabs on people (aka who do heavy analysis) would do that, though it's not necessarily Alignment-Indicative. Villagers want to catch elims, and elims want to find 1-good targets, and 2-people on whom they can cast suspicion and get an effective second kill with the lynch. Heavy analysis favors both sides (though I think it favors villagers a little more, hence it might be a little villager-leaning) People who posted a list of other players: Cycle 1: Elkanah: List of nobility and commoner-ship Lopen: Vote list Devotary: Vote list Lord_Silberfarben: Player list w/ votes Haelbarde (twice): Vote list Straw: Vote list Cycle 2: Haelbarde: Vote list of last cycle xineohp: Player posting count list Elandera: Vote list Me: Player listing list Of course, all of this goes out the window if you consider how many other ways of performing analysis there are, not to mention that you can keep tabs on several people without bringing it up, etc. etc. ---------------------- Lin Wa was just minding his own business, doing a bit of studying, when a thought came to mind. He had...forgotten something that transpired the day before, likely a piece of homework he had lost and eventually stopped thinking about. Oh! That was right! He had bumped into the noble Catalan, the other day. The guy looked really offended, so it was probably the reason he had received a Complaint. Since today's homework was finished, he had enough time to go seek the guy out and deliver a proper apology. After all, despite how disliked the nobles were, they were people, and beyond that, it's best to not be on bad terms with someone. On his way over, Lin started to hear some others discussing their studies. "ending up in some random bin. War always has strange stories like that, with artifacts getting hidden wherever. Some have never been found." Oh well. He didn't have much time to listen more. He hurried on.
-
Hey, everyone! I'm just checking in as this morning is rather busy. I'll be posting something of actual value in a couple of hours (RP, maybe some analysis, who knows). I'll place a poke vote when I come back in here. ---------- Lin Wa woke up. He knew that yesterday was a full 16 hours, like most days, but honestly he didn't remember anything specific. Guess he had just gone around the library? Today he would take a small journal with him today; perhaps being inside the University messed with his head (though in all likelihood it was an isolated event. He hoped, at least. It would be rather inconvenient if he had amnesia every day.)
-
I'll sign up, despite (still) not having read the rules yet. I'll read them tomorrow morning or tonight, I promise. And, uh, I'll be active as long as I'm in the game, too. Signing up as Lin Wa, a guy who's, he can tell, in way over his head. Though he enjoys wordplay (well, more contractions and abbreviations) and studies, he has never gotten his priorities straight for longer than about 50 minutes. Thusly, as he walked up to the wall in the courtyard, the University loomed over him. It was a daunting prospect, studyin' here, especially because of the place's pull in waffles. He had heard there were a lot of waffle experts who had learned at the University. Perhaps, after adjusting to the life there, he could learn it all, in walks, studies, and classes and just generally gain knowledge at a rate he hadn't ever been able to do. Regardless, there were also...reports, ones of Skindancers, which were appallin'. Waning hours would be more dangerous in the University, even, than in the streets. It should have been a deciding factor in whether he went or not, but--to be honest, his fears of being dwarfed in the presence of much greater minds than his, and studies that encompassed more knowledge than one person could even contain, were overwhelming enough to keep him from really worrying about the Skindancers. He walked along the wall until he got to the main entrance. There, fearful and hopeful, inward he moved. (If you didn't notice, I tried to put in the string "lin wa" (if you don't count punctuation or spaces) as many times as I could in the paragraph above. Counting, I think I got 5 in there. Good luck, everyone!)

Mid-Range Game 41 / Anonymous Game 8: Lord of Chaos
Walin replied to Fifth Scholar's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Walin jumped back into the Shard, eager to prove his wits had not dimmed with the passage of time. This time, he would join a game, and he would be active. However, there was a problem. He would probably be leaving, once again, within a month's time. Would it be worth the risk to join a Medium Range game and play for only 3 weeks? He thought rather deeply fleetingly about it. After a few days, he read the rules again, as well as the rules of the game that was to be played. However, to his astonishment, he realized that his waiting had made the decision for him. Nonetheless, analysis can be done from the outside. So he signed up for a link to the spec doc, where he would try to contribute to jokes, theories, and friendship before he would leave for yet another hiatus. (May I have a spec doc link please?) -
If there are any pinch-hitters, I think I'm going to have to duck out. I don't have as much time as I thought I did, so I won't be able to do any analysis or anything before I die.
-
I just got here; I realized I don't have nearly as much time as I had assumed. I'm going to read the backlog, but tomorrow I'll have less time.
-
This’ll be my last game; I’m signing up as Nedar Latfin. I’ll probably be inactive, but hopefully not.
-
Oh...whoops. I thought the cycle was just about to end, so I PM'ed before reading the writeup. I'll see you all tomorrow with some actual activity. ---------------- Ildem woke up. By the looks of the lights, he had slept until well past noon. No doubt, others had tried to wake him but left when he continued sleeping. It seemed that the food he ate at his cousin's house was...not as well sanitized as advertised. I knew I should have refused the fruits when they were given! Bellen always cooks or buys pre-cooked food, refusing to rinse anything beforehand. Sighing, he got up and started walking to the cafetaria. If it was noon, lunch would be served, and he could get a chance to sneak in without being seen. Pointedly avoiding looking at the clocks on the wall, not wanting a reminder of his tardiness, he peeked his head around the corner to the cafeteria--finding no one there. Turning around, he saw what he should have expected, and for a brief moment he saw his life flash before his eyes. And 2 hours later, with his ego crushed, he went back to bed with everyone else.
-
Once again, I had less time today than I thought I would. I should post again before turnover; it I don’t, this is my just-in-case target: 2C, because it’s the last target given in the thread
