    Angry sounds came from Butt's earpiece.

    Sheln raised his eyebrows. "All the Fifth Fusions that we have," he said.

    Dr. Who Octopus struck a bargain with him to retrieve The Sword.

    Meanwhile, Dr. Who Octopus was traveling to the Temple of Blades.

    Continuity complained. Again.

    He imprinted his soul into it so that it would always obey him.

    Except of course, by one simple trick. Dr. Who Octopus was taken by the Sword even farther into the past. The instant they passed the time the first sword was created, the Sword officially became The Sword. "Goodness," grumbled Dr. Who Octopus. "Can't an cephalopod take over the world in peace these days?"
  8. xinoehp512
    That is, not yet. Dr. Who Octopus had actually been transported into the past.
  9. xinoehp512
    A moment later, Dr. Who Octopus was teleported to the Sword again. It apologized for accidentally leaving him behind.
  10. xinoehp512
    But not out of his tentacles. It had teleported to the Far-off land, bringing Dr. Who Octopus along for the ride.

    Maern gave a sniff as he approached the Archives. Was that… smoke? It had better not be in flames, he thought worriedly, quickening his pace. Books burned fast- even just a spark had the potential to burn a library to the ground. Especially in a place as big as the Archives, where a fire might not be caught until it was too late. “Excuse me,” he said to one of the helpers at the front desk. “Is there a fire? Do you need assistance, or water, or anything?” The helper shook his head. “It’s under control now,” he said. “It got caught before it could do any real damage.” His expression soured. “Who didn’t get caught was the person or people who set it.” Maern gaped. “Someone set it?” “That’s what we think,” said the library keeper. “Shocking, I know. At least it was probably an accident.” Maern pushed away from the desk, stunned. Start a fire in the Archives? What student would even think about doing that? Sabotage, he thought, suddenly feeling cold. Perhaps… the skindancers? There were a couple of students that seemed to be discussing the fire nearby. Maern wandered over to listen in on their conversation- perhaps it would give a clue as to the identity of the saboteur. ---- I'm going to try and do a discussion of all the votes now, provide my perspective? Three people have expressed suspicion for Lopen for having a unusual tone/playstyle. I don't know enough about Lopen's usual tone/playstyle to comment, but I found it at least intriguing. It might be that they're feeding off each other for suspicions, but still you have to wonder if it's more than just that. I'll hold off on voting on him for now, but I'm curious to see if any other players more experienced with Lopen and playstyle analysis think there's something up. The thing is, Straw's been doing stuff I would consider useful as well (for example, the graphs/charts on turns one (and maybe two? I don't remember)). If it were just things like you describe, then that would be suspicious; as it stands, I think he's just trying to be generally helpful, which is a village trait. It might be me just overestimating his contributions, but I have a village read on him currently. All the other votes besides these are either poke votes or votes for 'flying under the radar', which are similar. In that way, this cycle feels a lot like C1 of a normal game, which I find slightly concerning- we don't want to be playing catch-up with the elims. Admittedly I find it hard to comb through previous threads myself for analysis; I can understand why getting stuff out of the first couple of cycles is hard. I certainly don't think I could contribute much beyond what I've already contributed (although I hope to at least try). 'Flying under the radar' votes are better than pure poke votes in this respect, as they draw upon information available from past cycles, but preferably more in-depth analysis can be done.

    Back at his lodgings, Maern flipped through his pages of notes and observations. They weren’t particularly long- only a couple of pages- and they weren’t particularly good, either. But they were all he had for now. Maern turned to his pack and began to pull things out, looking for one specific thing; a book he’d borrowed from the Stacks. He found it and pulled it out. Read Minds! proclaimed the title in large, visible lettering. Underneath it were the words Astound your friends! and Discover Secrets! along with a picture of a person reaching out as if to pluck something from a thought bubble. A shady-looking book, to be sure, but Maern had skimmed the first few pages and found things that seemed intriguing. He opened the book up on the table near his notes sheets and began to read, referring back to the papers every few pages to check something or another. After an hour or so of this he sighed and closed the book.. I need more, he thought. More, and better. This just isn’t going to cut it anymore. Luckily, the book had included several tips for how to effectively analyze situations. He’d have to practice those tomorrow, he supposed. For now, all he could do was hope the skindancers wouldn’t get him in his sleep. ---- Okay, that's pretty much what I expected. Sorry about your difficulties :\ I hope you manage to make it in next semester too. (And sorry if that question came off as pushy- I meant for it to be more of an optional question, although I fear it didn't come out that way.) You know, this vote spread looks surprisingly familiar. It seems that although people seem to be in agreement to vote based on suspicion, the votes are still winding up rather spread out. Of course, this is only the beginning of the cycle; I doubt that votes will be spread out quite as much as the turn progresses in comparison to previous ones, as people aren't trying to do it on purpose- we still have ten hours left in the cycle, after all, and experience has shown that many posts happen during that time- but we should be careful about failing to concentrate our votes enough, as spread-out votes are much less of a threat to the elims (especially if any are staying at the Golden Pony) which will mean we get less information from the vote. Hopefully most people are just waiting until later in the cycle to post.

    Causality threw up her hands in frustration declared that the case went to Xinoehp, then left. Dr. Who Octopus cackled as he raised the Sword with one of his many appendages. Soon the world would be his.
  14. xinoehp512
    Causality complained to Nameless for his overuse of reversion.
  15. xinoehp512
    But then Nameless died and the sword reverted to Dr. Who Octopus's control.

    Oh dear, I'm redundant. Looks like I've probably made a few mistakes, too... guess I'll have to review the threads again. *returns* Perhaps a bit of redundancy is a good thing. Since we have more or less the same totals for Term One, Month One and Term Two, Month One, I think it's safe to assume those totals are correct. But, while Burnt Spaghetti did have seven posts and not six in Term One, Month Two, and Striker had three and not two, I'm feeling quite certain that Elandera had two posts and not one, and Elkanah five and not six. Not that that changes a whole lot, of course, but at least we're that little bit much more accurate now. And now, I suppose, for votes. I've looked through the least active people, and the most suspicious (for this reason) (in my opinion) are Walin (edit:ninja'd with a vote), Young Bard, Experience, and STINK. I'm also suspicious of Lumgol, though somewhat less than the others because they are a Noble and therefore have that as a reason not to post as much. Green Rover and Coda are lower down on my suspicion list for the same reason, in addition to the fact that the former is a new player and the latter has been roleblocked for the past few turns. Cadcom... puzzles me. As an Edema Ruh, he shouldn't be able to post as little as he is and stay in school- unless he has the Talent Pipes. @CadCom, care to explain?

    Meanwhile, Dr. Who Octopus bonded the Sword that he'd confiscated.
  18. xinoehp512
    But then he became a zombie.
  19. xinoehp512
    And flushed the toilet.
  20. xinoehp512
    Fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately) the water he had found was in the toilet.
  21. xinoehp512
    Luckily, he managed to find water in his cell.
  22. xinoehp512
    Dr. Who Octopus threw him into the deepest, darkest dungeon.
  23. xinoehp512
    ...eight-legged squid.
  24. xinoehp512
    But it was too late. Dr Who Octopus's Octopifier hit Nameless directly with a beam of transformative light.
  25. xinoehp512
    Dr. Who Octopus cackled with delight and activated his trap.
