    Signing up! Haven't played in so looooooong

    Starting my first day of work today so I'll be back on at some point but still don't know my schedule. The manager just told me to come in after my college appointment this morning so that's not very helpful haha. I want to look at Fura and Rand specifically. I didn't like the meta lynch and I want to state my reasons when I get back in full.

    Okay I caught up! (I may not have totally gotten sidetracked with life after dinner) I don't have time to go through as much analysis as I'd like and I have to admit to myself that life is too busy to be as active as I'd like for me right now. If I had to pick an elim out of the active players, I'd say that Fura is giving me a bad vibe from some of his posts and reasoning so I'd like to read back through all of his posts before next cycle if I get the time. Rand is also setting off red flags for me with some stuff he's done, but I can't recall what they all were. I just doubt myself with Rand because I always think he could be an elim and don't want to rule it out. I'll try to look closer at some more people soon. My biggest village read is probably Karn because I feel like an elim wouldn't have risked pushing that hard for Snip's lynch in only cycle 2. Almost all of his posts so far have felt too genuine to be an elim. (If you are than well done, especially for your first game.) @Ookla the Unprepared Are there specific reasons you feel this way about me? I know your first suspicions against me I answered as best I could, but I never got a response as to whether you acknowledged or didn't believe my reasons in any way. I feel like your just sticking with a gut read instead of looking elsewhere very much. In regards to my vote on Rath, I did say it wasn't a retaliation vote as much as it was for his voting reasons and because I misunderstood part of his post. Just because his vote had been on me does not make it directly a retaliation vote and it slightly irkes me that it keeps being called such. I would have voted on him after that post, irregardless of his vote being specifically on me. Just wanted to clear that up. I don't have time to do much to determine the vote at this point and feel wrong putting a vote on Fura without doing more research on him. I'll be abstaining from the lynch this cycle which I've never done before. I feel it's gotten enough votes to carry it through and I ran out of time to look at Meta's posts. Edit: okay, looking back through. Why are people lynching Meta?? I see 2 votes that look like they missed Meta's reasons for voting Fura and they weren't just following Ookla the East's vote. Then other ones that just kinda hopped on.

    Crap.....I forgot about the game because I had so much to do today. College registration, stuff for my job I'm starting tomorrow, and babysitting. Apologies all, I really haven't had any time today. Edit: Let me eat dinner and I'll try and be back on for as much as I can before the cycle ends.

    Sorry for not being active this turn. I've been busy irl. I'll be back next turn. Although I do have some college stuff tomorrow, I should be free in the evening.
  6. BrightnessRadiant
    The Snipexe lynch is pretty well explained in some of the last several posts if you're interested. Got about 7 minutes to read them lol.
  7. BrightnessRadiant
    I feel like I should point out that if he does flip village, that we shouldn't be too quick to kill Karn. I'm not certain that elim!Karn would push that heavily for a lynch this early in the game? I just get nervous when I see so many people saying that it would essentially confirm Karn's alignment. Remember to keep an open mind.
  8. BrightnessRadiant
    Okay so about Snipexe, I said I was leaning village on him because: 1. He was already in the spotlight so much on Day 1 then why would elim!Snip want more spotlight on him with the redirected action that Fura talked about? 2. If Padan Fain exists and could have killed Village!Snip than would they have or would they use a mislynch? Or could they have been inactive? Or could they have missed that rule clarification? 3. If Snip flips as Rand then that could be really bad. (I know this isn't a point in favor of him actually being village, it just made me worry about lynching him.) However, based on the fact that Karn is pushing very hard for his lynch, I would like to see Snip's alignment and for the same reasons as day 1 I would like to know Snip's alignment based on all of the interactions people have had regarding him. I think at this point, it's probably just worth it to find out his alignment so we have more to look at from there. Rathmaskal Snipexe

    I said "felt" because I misunderstood part of what you were saying so I'm thinking about what I want to do and if I still suspect you based on reconsidering my position.
  10. BrightnessRadiant
    Retaliation votes on their own are sketchy. But, I found your vote sketchy regardless of the fact that it was on me. It was because i thought you were saying you should vote for one of the other people but then just voted on someone else with a gut feeling. That could be an elim trying to not play sides and just keeping the lynch at 1 and 1 and 1 and etc. I still don't see how keeping the vote tied at all 1's by just adding a gut vote would really help the lynch and so I felt like you were avoiding getting involved until maybe someone else did analysis towards the end of cycle that you could jump on.
  11. BrightnessRadiant
    Yeah so would that actually kill him then?
  12. BrightnessRadiant
    How would he die? In the rules, it just says that Padan Fain basically cancels actions taken against someone and blocks their passive traits and abilities right? Doesn't say they have a kill or anything?
  13. BrightnessRadiant
    Honestly, that could be why they were targeted. It's good for the elims if people don't list suspicions because when they die there's nothing to look back on regarding that. So, even if you only have very limited suspicions then you should post them. It makes it harder for the elims to target people. It also helps people with reads. I know I personally usually go through and make lists of who I think might or might not be able to be teammates if one is evil depending on interactions. Lists like that have often helped me to narrow down suspicions and find elims as a group. This is how we always feel about each other xD Also, I was planning on doing a longer in depth post today about suspicions and rules etc but I had stuff come up irl and then spent a while finally reading over the rules really in depth. Hopefully I can do as much catching up as possible before cycle ends. I don't mean for my posts to have little content, but that's probably on me for taking so long to really think about all the rules and roles. Last few posts have just been me rambling and trying to get a feel off the game. But I did try to tag a lot of people last cycle to promote discussion and figure out my reads better on people. @Mark IV Sorry I didn't respond last cycle. I said I'd be active and then ended up getting caught up in other irl things. (aka the finale of Stranger Things 2 that I needed to finish xD) Yes, it is common for me to be very active regardless of my knowledge of the rules. I've always been the type of person who absolutely hates learning any kind of game rules. I must admit I put off trying to figure these ones out on my own for way too long. I just really don't like complicated rules and I did say I was going to try and give analysis on players rather than on the rules. Especially since up to that point most discussion had been about rules and strategy and not a lot of players posting analysis of other players. I tend to do that better and then like reading other player's posts on the rules cuz it helps me wrap my head around the rules better to understand how they work. I wasn't saying his post didn't matter? I don't think a 3 paragraph explanation in response to someone accusing me says that? I hope not, I'd feel bad if it did. I was merely trying to explain my reasoning and my posts that he questioned and seemed to feel strange on. Just giving him more clarity into what my thought process had been. Also, I paused here and caught up on the rest of the cycle and since I quoted you I'll try and address other questions I had for you. I don't really understand why a villager would want Rand to claim in thread since losing him would be very bad for the village. There can be elims in the anon docs and if they find the Green Man then, as you said, then they could proceed to take out the Green Man and Rand one after the other. I don't know if an elim would have suggested this tho. It seems to risky. I'm not quite sure whether to read it as NAI or to lean village on you just for saying something that could be potentially dangerous because elims tend to avoid stuff like that. For now I'll keep it at NAI because it doesn't sound like a good thing to do for the village. I also wanted to point out that you also said that you thought Devo was probably killed because they hadn't posted a lot of suspicions and that was my opinion too. I guess it's still NAI tho since even an elim could give a reason like that for why someone died. Not sure what to think about your action being redirected to Snipexe. If he was an elim then I'd think they'd not want him in the spotlight more than he already was last cycle. They would probably have known that you would reveal the redirect in thread or that there was a chance you might. That makes me lean slightly more village on Snipexe. @randuir I'd really like to hear your theory on why Devotary was killed. I'll wait for it.:P @Rathmaskal I'm a little confused on why you voted for me after saying that you'd be best served voting for one of the other players with a vote already on them? Especially when it was just a gut read and all it did was add another 1 to the pile. That doesn't really help anyone much? Rathmaskal Also, we need to ensure early lynches because the elim roles get really powerful the later the game gets by what I can see in the rules. Summoning creatures doesn't happen until night 3 and Balthamel gets a roleblock after this turn I think? Or after Night 2. It's really important to find the elims quicker because of the roles in this game. I feel like there's more I wanted to say but I kept having internet issues and having to switch between my laptop, phone, and actual paper. *gasp

    Ugh internet slowness >> I'm working on a post and have been for a while but gag it's taking so long and it's getting late. I'm just gonna read through the rest of the cycle instead of doing it post by post and commenting. And then I'll be back with my post. Just letting everyone know that I'm here.
  15. BrightnessRadiant
    @Ookla the Ring Thank you, Karnatheon. That sum up of actions helps a lot. I think I'm finally wrapping my head around the rules and have been reading through them more today. I don't have a lot to say other than don't forget your defense actions if you haven't already put them in. I'm never really sure what else to discuss during the Night turns. I'll probably be checking in and out and have been following the conversation so if anyone has any questions for me I'll be around.

    Fifi poked a stick at the young soldier's chest. "Are you implying something, you young bat. Bats? Oh I LOVE bats, they're so cute and their little squeaks are just adorable!" Fifi stared off into space as if she were actually watching a bat and smiled. She quite forgot what she'd been saying and smiled at Jancey. "Hello, young man, did you need something?" Oorp: Eh, I was very confused and you can look back at almost any game I've played with complicated rules and roles and see that I have a really hard time figuring out how these type of games work, but having read through last cycle and just rambling off what I was thinking at the time then I changed my mind on a bunch of stuff as I was going because I was doing it all in a real time read through of the thread. My confusion was real, but a lot of players explanations have really helped me a lot and I was trying to be as active as I could during the last part of the cycle. If my info came across as forced i guess I was just really trying to push myself to hurry because the cycle was ending soon and i wanted my post to go up with enough time for people to respond etc. Not sure what I can say about it sounding strange? Maybe I just am. xD And about Snipexe, I tend to be very skeptical of all reasons for day one lynches, even my own. Because they rarely seem good enough for a lynch, but it also gives us information regardless of what they flip and I decided that by the time the end of the cycle was that close that if it was down to Snipexe or you(who hadn't said anything but hello in the cycle) that I'd rather lynch someone who had been talked about by a bunch of different players because that may help with my alignment reads and others if we knew his alignment. I don't know his alignment, but was saying that his post could just as easily been village as elim and I've seen villagers get lynched cycle 1 for that sort of post a lot. I guess that was where my hesitation came from, but for the reasons I outlined, I decided to vote on him. Hopefully that makes sense.
  17. BrightnessRadiant
    Also, @Mr Doctor Were you saying you suspect Snipexe then? Edit: and if it's just when people vote then that works sometimes but not always seeing as I almost ALWAYS lead the final lynch in every game I play in each cycle because I tend to be on at rollover and like ensuring lynches no matter what alignment I am. It promotes discussion and analysis.
  18. BrightnessRadiant
    Yeah I don't find his post overly suspicious, but the others have only posted to check in and his was the only one who followed that familiar pattern of elims who post to be active by stating things but not giving opinions on them. At first I found it not very alignment indicative as I stated but then on a second read through (as I said) I agreed more with Rand for why he made that vote. Between my choices to make a lynch go through for a cycle one lynch I'd guess that Snipexe is the better lynch seeing as so many people have discussed him. Well, I did say I wasn't finished with my analysis:P Also, ooooooh okay. I get the health thing now. I thought you were saying the health would go down and that it would benefit the village so I was confused.
  19. BrightnessRadiant
    Okay can't edit a vote in, so double post. >> SnipExe(Ookla the Skeptical) Anyone else have thoughts on this?
  20. BrightnessRadiant
    Okay cycle analysis! Drought: rules are complicated, doesn't want to get in trouble for not knowing them before posting. (Dat me pal) Fura: @Furamirionind Okay, so why would it take health off the Eye? Don't we want the Eye to keep its health? Probably me sounding confused from not reading the rules correctly. Also, I was assuming 5 elims as well because 3 base roles right? And then the blight or whatever? So probably around that number. Concealed ability? *goes to read rules on that xD oh being in another doc? I did that before as an elim. It was hard. xD Randuir killed me. Looks at Rand >> Yeah definitely be careful about what you give away in there and about trusting each person in your doc completely. Like, if someone wants to go with the flow of what everyone else says in your doc then that may be a red flag since elims don't like to be pushy normally. Bard: just a hi @Ookla the Unprepared hey Karnatheon: Cautions the role named Lan to be careful with their defending. I've seen this tactic used by villagers and elims so NAI for me Randuir: seems like a risky tactic to let the rings fall as you suggest, but also sounds like it could be worth the risk. I think we should consider this idea. I need to look into it more. (Also, I keep having to edit your name from Rand to Randuir lol) Mr Doctor: I thought the number of players was planned at 20? @Mr Doctor @Ookla the White-Cloaked was it not? Also, secret roles, hissssss. Rand again: 5 elims seems about right tho? Cuz there are 3 known elim roles aren't there? I thought I read that in the rules and someone said so in the thread. Then wouldn't they need blight members? Could players be both? @randuir Snipexe: already mentioned his post in my last post Ookla the ring: yeah this was the post I read and that was what I assumed about the role distribution for elims and blight too. Ookla the duck: (who is?...cadcom. Bless you Fifth, I just remembered the list is at the top of the cycle.) Checks in Fura: role analysis (not always a huge fan of this unless the person is adding other useful analysis but they are and also this game is very role heavy so I feel like it's a good thing and helpful to everyone. Not sure if an elim wouldn't do it too or not. It isn't really alignment indicative but still nice lol. Devotary: draws attention to the way the blight will affect the cycles. Isn't this kinda like best case scenario tho? If everyone is active and doesn't get blocked etc? @Ookla the Heretical This is taking a while. Kidpen: checks in Fura: forgets we have a lynch? Not sure if that's alignment indicative in any way...just seems odd because they've been so active. Good that they are poking people to be active at least. Steeldancer: checks in Rathmaskal: poke votes on Xino (not really anything to say about this and they removed it later) Rand: I kinda get his vote from this point in the cycle. He's not gonna be around and wants to lynch with the intent to kill so he picks the most likely elim type post. Makes more sense on my read through. Xino and Rath: back and forth and Rath removes vote and says he'll be back with a real vote later. Devotary: adds to the role discussion (NAI) Karnatheon: aren't the forsaken and the blight in the same doc? Doesn't that makes them all have one kill as a group? Also I just noticed this when checking the rules. "The two Forsaken share this ability" I was assuming there was 3 elim roles for some reason. Apparently others thought that too, but it says there's only 2? also, you poke 2 people and soft accuse them of not being active enough and also agree with Rand on the snipexe vote but you haven't given any vote yourself. That feels like similar to why Rand voted on Snipexe. An elim tactic of poke voting and accusing but not taking a stand against anyone. Hmm this is your first game right? I'll wait to see more of your posts to vote because you have been really good at keeping discussion going. I almost lost all of this so I'm posting it before I continue. (This is all of page one posts for me on mobile) Edit: to avoid a double post So are we letting a random lynch happen? I never like skipping day one lynches and right now between the 2 choices I'd choose Snipexe over Bard.
  21. BrightnessRadiant
    Literally me So much, so complicated. My brain isn't used to SEing for a while xD So, I just read/scanned the rules and I didn't realize it was day and night cycles until recently oops. I've never read WoT so if I rp at all, I'll be a crazy old woman named Fifi. No magic, just crazy. xD @Ookla the White-Cloaked Okay....so, taking actions this cycle to protect the Eye right? I'll be honest that I scanned the thread as well so I have no idea for a lynch. Randuir, Mr Doctor, Fura, and Devotary are all really helpful so far....or they are pulling a Len on me and just seeming helpful. xD Either way, it helps me with reads when people post analysis so it's still good regardless of what they said. Okay I read @randuir vote on Snipexe but I don't really agree on it. Although that is a generally used elim tactic, I don't really know if that would be what he was doing in that post. I think it's important that he called everyone's attention to the potential for lynch problems which shows that we should make sure to secure lynches by more votes on one person to avoid changing lynches. I kinda feel like it was a good thing to point out in case some people (like me) didn't read the rules as closely for the first cycle. But meh, it's a day one lynch so I won't say that I haven't seen people lynched for less. Also, is there a lynch every EVERY cycle or just day cycles? The rules say every cycle. I want to vote but I don't understand the rules enough to even know if people's analysis is sound or not. My best SE skill usually involves studying the people and not the rules. That's hard for me. I need more time. >> *sigh I want to read through again before I try and vote.
  22. BrightnessRadiant
    I haven't read the rules yet, but wanted to check in. I'm gonna be a bit busy during this game with college prep and starting a new job next week but I'll do my best to stay active! I'll try and give a character description before the end of the cycle, Fifth. I just haven't ever read WoT and had no idea what type of character to do. I'll read everything and try to figure that out later today.
  23. BrightnessRadiant
    Signing up as a character that I will figure out later.
  24. BrightnessRadiant
    Hahahaha sorry, they needed a scape goat LOL That's alright, thanks for playing. (:
  25. BrightnessRadiant
    I think that the elims did a great job, but I do agree with this. The village could have caught on a lot more had they been paying more attention. Also, in case no one noticed by now. I did set up events in the writeups that gave away hints of who could have done things and I'm glad no one noticed because I was trying to keep it low key so no one was outed by a writeup LOL. Also, also, ....anyone notice by now that @Crimsn-Wolf was murdered in that last writeup? And @Gancho Libre you were invited to join the elims in the writeup because of poisoning CadCom LOL.
