“A rubix cube?” I ask as we walk, “What else do you have in there?”

“That’s....huh. Interesting.” What does this mean? If she’s correct, what did that note mean? And how does she know all of that? Just a guess? If that’s the case, what are the odds she landed on the exact word “insight”? I feel like she knows more than she’s letting on. “Well, right now let’s focus on just finding some clothes, c’mon.” I start walking down the street.

These are my go-to cookies. They are very very good, but they can be a bit finicky. I think the biggest determining factor is the size of the cookies and how long you bake them. And you have to be sure to be fast so the dough doesn’t dry out. While those are my go-to cookies, these are my favorite cookies. And these are much harder to mess up. It does take a bit of practice to make the right size ball, but there’s a wide margin of error. The recipe says to put the peanut butter cups in after you bake them, but I always do it before. I don’t think it makes a huge difference either way.

“ASB? I personally have not read Alcatraz, but I doubt it’s apart of the Cosmere.” I look up quickly. “Say what? Insight?”

So is it better to report a spam post or the spam profile? If you do the thing where you post a status update on their profile and report that, then other people know that spambot has been reported already.

“Hmm maybe. I’m still not entirely convinced this isn’t a dream. But if it isn’t, that would make some sense. I doubt Alcatraz is real though. Same with Rithmatist.” I pause. “Have any of you realized how lucky it is that we’re all Sanderfans? What are the odds?”

“Yay water.” I walk inside, leaving them to talk. I didn’t tell them the real reason I wanted to come back inside. After a small amount of looking, I found a bag of steel dust. I found the kitchen, got a glass of water, poured some steel dust in, and choked it down. I felt the comfortable reserve of power inside me, much larger than before. I still can’t believe this is actually happening. I pocketed the bag and walked back outside. “Ok, yes, clothes, let’s get some.”

"but I'm thirrrrssssty...Fine, we can leave. If this is right after the meeting with Steris, how long do we have until the Vansiher attack? And which attack is next? Is is when Steris is kidnapped?"

I chuckle, “yeah, maybe no punching for now.” I look back at the door. “I don’t think he’s coming back with my water. Let’s go inside.”

"Oh absolutely. Called my mom ugly. Just couldn't let that slide. Don't worry, it got what it deserved." I clear my throat. "Ugh, I need some water." I notice Wax's butler shutting the door behind Lilliana. "Hey you! Make yourself useful and get me some water. Oh, also I barfed on your grass, so you might wanna clean that up." I smirk as he walks away and turn to Lilliana. "That's the evil butler right? I don't wanna be accidentally rude to a non-evil butler."

I stand up. wiping the bile from my mouth. Luckily I had managed to lean over and not ruin my only set of clothes. I try to find the same reserve of power, and sure enough it was gone. Hopefully that means the other metals are gone too. Now would be a really bad time to die of lead poisoning. As I'm walking back inside, I notice the same slip of paper from the metallurgist lying on the ground. I had dropped it in my excitement. I find that it had flipped over to reveal a message on the other side. "Also, Danny, do me a favor and say hi to Insight for me. It's been quite a while since..." Unfortunately my sudden desire to make a sidewalk pizza had left the rest of the message unreadable. I stare at it, confused. Did I ever give him my name? I don't think I did....and what is Insight? I notice the door opening, so I quickly shove the paper in my pocket. Whatever it meant, it seemed like a message for me, and I wanted to learn what it meant before showing it to the others.

I take the vial and slip outside. Here goes nothing......wait. Aren't some of these metals poisonous? I need a way to make sure this is safe... Suddenly I notice a piece of paper wrapped around the vial. I unravel it to reveal a message, supposedly from the metallurgist. "I put the metals in a solution that will induce vomiting after about a minute, wouldn't want you kids to die from metal poisoning, would I?" Huh, that's convenient. He just happened to have a solution like that ready? Am I sure I'm not dreaming? I pop the cork off the top of the vial. "A toast!" I say to myself, "to car crashes and hallucinations!" I down the vial. I try to feel inwards like it always describes in the book, looking for some sort of 'reserve'. Nothing's happening... Suddenly, Power. A stockpile of it flaming within me. YESYESYESYESYESYESYES I mentally reach for it, and it feels like the most natural thing in the world. Blue lines spring into view, and I know what each of them mean. I reach out to one, and push. And go flying backwards into a wall. I grin like a madman. "I'm a coinshot!" I yell it to the world, ecstatic that a dream I've had for years was coming true. This was the best moment of my life. And then I vomit all over Waxillium Ladrian's grass.

I stand back, watching all the chaos unfold. Wow, she actually just did that. I’m surprised they haven’t thrown us out already. Suddenly I remember something. The vials! I haven’t actually used one to test if I’m an allomancer yet! “Hey, can I have one of those vials?” I whisper to Lilliana.

GGs to the elims, and extra ggs to Quinn for somehow getting the entire Elim team first try XD. This game was pretty fun. Mostly. It did remind me how tired MRs make me. They actually have longer cycles than LGs, so even though the game as a whole is shorter, it makes me feel more tired. As for the actual ruleset, I think the Sabotage mechanic might need a bit more tweaking. And maybe it needs some vote manip. But I just like vote manip in every game. Now I’ll respond to things people said in docs. Eyy I forgot about that. Pog. If me and Quinn had gotten together Elims wouldn’t’ve stood a chance =P. Sorta. It wasn’t entirely a protest vote, but sorta. Connie just didn’t seem like the person who would do a joke-claim. And then when someone reminded me that she doesn’t lie, that just put the nail in the coffin. (And really, how is that not a lie?? You’re saying that “I claim Elim” is a lie, but “I’m claiming Elim” isn’t? That’s literally just a difference in verb tense. But I digress.) Ah ah ah, chill your Strawman-ing my guy. I didn’t say that at all. My argument was “If you want me personally, to remove my personal, singular vote, I will be convinced to do so if you do this”. You’ll notice that after Connie said she wouldn’t, I didn’t bring it up again. I wasn’t making her an ultimatum, I was offering her an option. She declined, and that was that. That’s poor phrasing on my part, I didn’t mean all games should absolutely have hard-clear mechanics, I just meant that I don’t think we need to be actively avoiding them. “Some games could have ways of hard-clearing, and still be completely viable and fun.” is what I meant. I wasn’t game throwing. At that point in the game, the only thing I knew for certain was that “if they exe me, game is over, and we loose”. I had 0 reads I was confident about. So I just tried a play to get them to not vote me. And it worked, sorta. We still lost, but eh, at least my plan worked. I won’t lie, I was fairly ready for the game to be over, and that’s the only reason I decided to do this. Worst-case scenario, it doesn’t work, and I help exe myself, and the game ends. Which I kinda wanted anyway. So sorta a win-win for me. It wasn’t the sole reason I decided to do it though, just a convincing factor.

Saaaaaaame ;-; I had actually forgotten about it, which means not only was I not losing, I was actually winning. But no longer.

Dannex Because I’m honestly just ready for the QF to start. Feels like even if we get an Elim this cycle, it’s still basically impossible to win.

Yes I have? I haven’t even mentioned Bard since D1.

What was wrong with my role analysis? ;-; I mean, besides that fact that it was completely inaccurate. But actually, what sounded ‘fake’ about it? Was just a basic role analysis, I’ve done one every game for like the last 3. And here’s my mild defense for Vil!Me, look at my D1 posts. It looks like I’m setting up an Archer/Bard future mis-exe. But then Archer was killed by the Elims that same night. Elim!Me would’ve kept Archer alive as a possible future mis-exe. ....why? This might be shooting myself in the foot here, but my interactions with Bard have been very minimal since D1. How are we confirmed v/v or v/e?

Is it safe to assume this is LyLo?
