    All the discussion on fansites and the wiki seems to assume that the Age of Legends was the Second Age, and ours (which is indicated to be the one before the AoL) is therefore the First. I have some issues with that, though: -The Ages should presumably count from some point of significance at the beginning of the First Age. Nothing has happened recently to remotely compare to the Breaking of the World. -If this is the First Age, that would imply that memory turns to myth in only two Ages and is completely forgotten in three...but there are many, many things from the Third Age that are clearly intended to be the source of terms we have today, five ages later. It is possible that it normally takes longer and the Breaking of the World accelerated the process, but this still seems difficult. Therefore, if it is an assumption rather than an explicit statement that the Age of Legends was the Second (or, equivalently, that the Third began with the Breaking of the World), I would posit the following revised chronology: -The First Age lasted roughly 1000 years, from the Breaking of the World until the Trolloc Wars. -The Second Age lasted roughly 1000 years, from the Trolloc Wars through Hawkwing's death. -The Third Age lasted roughly 1000 years, from Hawkwing's Death until Tarmon Gai'don. -The Fourth Age, while not shown, presumably lasts roughly 1000 years, likely ending with the fall of Rome. -The Fifth Age is the Middle Ages. -The Sixth Age begins with the Renaissance, and ends with the first scientific use of the One Power. -The Seventh Age is the Age of Legends. Thus, the count begins at the Breaking of the World (the most momentous event in historical memory at the time the phrase "Third Age" came to be), and the time for memory to fade completely is on the order of three or four ages (half the turning of the Wheel), not just two. Anybody have more info to support or refute this?

    Hurt Feruchemy, heal Surgebinding. Allomancy - 5 HP Feruchemy - 2 HP Surgebinding - 6 HP

    Uh oh...I did an action change, and think I might have messed up and targeted someone that I didn't ask not to guard against me. Though if that ended the game, it'd mean 5 elims to start with, which is quite a lot for 16 players...though perhaps it was intended that the existence of an extra village kill would balance things.

    Leaving aside the Chuck Norris nonsense for a moment, I suspect that Reckoners and Apocalypse Guard will turn out to be the same universe.

    It doesn't. It lends itself to a process that bears some similarity to shattering. Of course, the fact that hiding the power is similar to shattering is itself very interesting...

    Brandon stated that the Simple Rules are (very, very loosely) based on the Jewish rules of the Sabbath, and those rules (especially the ones that are not reflected in the Simple Rules, ironically) are primarily about causing productive change...so I think that counts as support.
  7. Yitzi2
    Actually, I'm pretty sure that giving someone else a nosebleed would break the rules. (Remember, it's only the blood of another.)

    No wonder Khriss thinks Hemalurgy has so much potential.

    It is interesting that the elims killed the person who was most advocating for my innocence (not exactly the smartest thing if I was an elim and said advocation was presumably a contributing factor in nobody but an elim voting for me), and right afterward a couple of people vote for me. Also, keep in mind: I already posted one strong plan that, if I were an elim, would presumably put me fairly high in the village's estimation (and that would be dangerous due to the possibility of it allowing a UIB agent to detect me). There was really no need for elim!me to post another plan...and especially not one that would be ideal for ferreting out that one last elim who'd gotten himself "confirmed" as village.
  11. Yitzi2
    I don't remember for sure, but I probably just didn't get to it...and there it was clear that my vote wouldn't make a significant difference.
  12. Yitzi2
    As I said, I'd be unable to get on that cycle, and I didn't expect it to be so close that it was worth trying to get the GM to let me send in a vote early (even if I had known whom to vote for).
  13. Yitzi2
    Yeah...voting on someone for a roleclaim like that is very strange. Of course, "strange" doesn't always mean "elim". What's your read on Cluny?
  14. Yitzi2
    Also, once we kill one more elim (and therefore there's presumably only one more, and thus only one person who can send in the elim kill), we should probably switch to each person saying whom they will be guarding against, with each person guarding against someone else (though if there are any village cyto adepts that'd result in some doubling up). That way, if there is no elim kill the village has a large advantage (and basically a win if a UIB agent is available), while if there is an elim kill it will clear whoever that person guarded against.
  15. Yitzi2
    Got it. @Cluny the Scourge please don't use cytonics against me tonight.
  16. Yitzi2
    @Jondesu, please do not guard against me. (I will also be unavailable to see such requests of myself for the rest of the night.)
  17. Yitzi2
    I find it difficult to say that the secret vote on Cluny clears him, as however you explain the secret vote on Drake, the same could hold for Cluny. By the way, I will be unable to post day 5.
  18. Yitzi2
    You found us our first elim and you know Lopen fairly well, so I'm inclined to go with Lopen as well.
  19. Yitzi2
    Is there a reason you switched BR's vote from Randuir to Asterion? I don't think I missed a post where she did that... EDIT: My mistake. It was Aman's vote that you switched, not BR's. I knew that asterion had been at 6, and somehow messed up the "find who got swapped".
  20. Yitzi2
    And now she has, though with a code.
  21. Yitzi2
    No, just trying to get a sense of whether this is more of this "having fun" thing you seem to be so fond of.
  22. Yitzi2
    Are you intentionally voting for people who have nobody else voting for them?
  23. Yitzi2
    While I would have previously voted for Rand over asterion, the neutral bandwagon on Rand is a bit worrying. Asterion.
  24. Yitzi2
    Edit: Erroneous post on my part.
  25. Yitzi2
    You think it's the neutrals' favor to the elim in exchange for targeting Orlok?
