    I feel a need to respond to Onyx's RP, but as I'm not on the same world in game and OOG, im on a train on mobile at an hour when normal people should be sleeping, I don't really have the mental capability at the moment of coming up with a way to further their story. Though I would like to start off the voting today. I am willing to change my vote, but I just want put a vote out on indigo weasel for possibly being in the same faction as Odium, who possibly has a win on to destroy shards. They reached out to Cultivations faction early, specifically for the stated reason that their wincons might align. Cultivation's faction might have a wincon along the lines of putting shards back together again. And of course, it's easier to put shards together if their broken, and easier to find shards to splinter if there's more shards.

    Yes, but researcher can only be used once, then essentially needs to be recharged, and only really works if you have other roles to use. If you just have Researcher, it does no good at the time. Yolen seems to act as a world to speed up the Late game, hopefully attracting everyone to center around one place, so that, as the game begins to slow down, this can be used to speed it up again. If the game gets too slow near the end, then I think I'll like it.

    At first I was hesitant to trust toucans claim. I mostly believed him, but it made him untrustworthy to me. What if he actually was lying? But upon further consideration, I decided that it it was unlikely, and the fact that he revealed so early kindof shut out the possibility that he would have collaborated with anyone in his story. Then reading the thread this morning, I saw the clarification from Joe, which suggests that there are now a possibility of up to 2 more factions, or any combination action of larger factions and more than one neutral. Edit: I would like to find a way to be in contact, toucan, as I believe you could be a valuable asset that my faction and i would not underappreciate* *this has not been discussed with my faction the views represented in this post in know way are indicative of the views of this players faction, university, or religion, or any other organization that this person belongs to.

    This is interesting. What you are suggesting here is that either there are secret roles, or I didn't read the rules very well. We can assume that you do have some sort of win-con, however, so the question is whether or not your wincon involves cooperating with certain people or factions, or whether it is adverse to our wincons, but without directly opposing it. That makes your role potentially very useful, but also potentially very dangerous.

    Garden Rumsee was not a chef. When traveling, everyone always asked him what the kitchen would be making for dinner that night, as if he were part of the Hotel staff. Did he look like the Chef? He always got weird looks when he went out and bought Street food. The chouta vendor gave Garden a confused glare, as if he were a five-star chef. After all, why would a five-star chef purchase street food. Garden huffed, and turned, with his chouta, and found the nearest park bench to rest while he ate. As he sat, he pulled out his flask of licquor and the spread sheet under his arm, and began pondering the important questions of the day. What's this about the shards beginning a war? Does that mean silverlight is no longer safe? Where should I go? Where in the cosmere could be safe What is it about my name, or my persona that suggests that I'm a Chef? What's that man so blissful about? @Onyx Flamingo This chouta tastes stale. When is the last time that vendor restocked his cart with new ingredients.

    I literally made this to be a giant alibi for what I’ve been doing the entire game

    Okay, so I’ve taken Liss’ list and modified it so we can just see who remains real quick and maybe use some POE. It may seem too quick but I’m going to say the Heralds aren’t the murderers. Kelek seems like he’s spending most of his time trying to protect, Ash has been too inactive, and Beggar His Excellency Jezrien, well, I don’t really have a case for him, but I doubt he’s either the Parshendi-Peccant or the Kholin-Killer (yes I made names for them). As for killing the Heralds stopping the Desolation, it has to be said the Heralds/Oathpact only stopped the Desolations from starting (unless one of them gave in). When the Desolations had already started, killing the Heralds would not do anything. I don’t think it will do anything here either. I’m also eliminating Liss, Wit and myself. Myself because I’m myself, Liss because she seems to have a good alibi where she’s been these few cycles, she seems innocent and I can’t see why she’d want to kill either Parshendi or Kholins, and Wit because he genuinely seems like he has a neutral rolw this whole game (helping others achieve wincons) and I don’t see why he’d suddenly change to a genocidal maniac. Is Klade even active? I don’t think so, and even if he was, I don’t think he would be traitorous enough to kill his own people. As for killing the Kholins, I think he’d be too inactive to do so. As for killing Parshendi to stop the Desolation, it could be a possibility, I don’t know. If we want to find out, all we have to is not protect Klade and hope our Parshendi-Peccant gets him to test our theories Current List: 1.Tearim 2. Ialai 3. Jasnah 4. Ivory 5. Adolin Taking away Adolin, Jasnah and Ivory. Ivory has no reason to kill the Parsh or the Kholins, and I don’t think killing him will do any bad for the Desolation, either. Remember, he’s not a corrupted spren. He’s a Radiant Spren, but not corrupted. Adolin for the most part seems to be backed up by a lot of people, has no reason to attack Kholins, maybe Parshendi but people backing him up negates my suspicions. Jasnah is mainly for the same reasons. List: 1. Tearim 2. Ialai I would normally say it’s Ialai. At the beginning of the game she had a wincon to lead a lynch against a Kholins, who’s to say she doesn’t have a more deadly anti-Kholin wincon now. But I remembered she’s been having her 4 Cooperation wincon to deal with now so there would be no time for her to kill. I’ll still leave this discussion on her, though. And here’s where my suspicions begin to surface. Tearim’s connected to the SoH, he says the wincon’s null now, but we only have his word on it. Even then, his security-themed wincons could have something to do with killing the Parahendi, seeing as though as soon as they enter all hell breaks loose. I think it’s Tearim who’s to blame here, by POE.

    RIP Elhokar. All hail Queen Jasnah Hello; I apologise for my inactivity near the end of last cycle and at the beginning of this one, that was simply some bluetext problem regarding devices I have fixed. I was procastinating the whole first half of last cycle to post (I didn’t), though I did make a few PMs. Anyway, regarding where I’ve been this game and the circles I’ve been in, I can confidently say that after the initial mess of conspiring in the beginning cycles, I kind of dropped out of most of them. My first wincon was to Gossip against Ialai. This could mean either Gossiping a vote to her or Gossiping her own vote. I talked this down with her and she agreed, and I got introduced to that beginning Women’s circle. I think I Gossiped Klade’s(?) vote onto her eventually. Next, my wincon was to Charm and act against two members of secret societies. I Charmed and acted against Liss (sorry I roleblocked you) and Charmed and acted against Gavilar (no I didn’t kill him, I just roleblocked him). All this time, there was really no need for me to be working with others to achieve my goals, so I wasn’t involved in any real circles. Then, my wincon was to study an object with unknown properties. This was when I worked with Gavilar and Jasnah to scan the Black Sphere. After that, my wincon was to destroy the Unmade, which we did. Now I have two wincons: Prevent the Desolation (which I think most people have) and my second wincon, which I’m not telling, though I have told a few in PMs. I know this may seem like a bit much to just dump it all here, but I think it’s nice to have a straight record of all the things I’ve done this game, so I can say what I did on any given cycle. Also, I don’t know of you know, but I have been crazy inactive in my docs. Like, I can’t remember the last time I posted in them. Also, Wit’s Broam idea sounds reasonable, and I can’t believe I’m saying that

    Venli Navani turned to the Parshendi woman. "Caught in the act, it seems. Though it is technically Darkness' word against yours, I'm inclined to trust him more due to the fact that he is the Herald of Justice, as proven just half an hour ago. Do you have an alibi, or any proof of your innocence? Besides, why would Darkness want to frame a Parshendi?"
  11. Cream Tuatara
    Navani looked around. The Unmade. It was gone. Her invention had worked. Now she just needed to figure out what to do next.
  12. Cream Tuatara
    Gemstone. All we need is the Gemstone. Navani made a small prayer to the Almighty as she looked up and closed her eyes. Not as fancy as Ialai's, but it was the best she could do. Time was of the essence. Around her, walls crumbled and shadows became sharp. They were all going to die. Ivory appeared. "Shadow person!" Navani moved in and grabbed the gemstone from the spren. He looked weary, and slightly damaged. Moving the gemstone in place and pressing it into the cradle, Navani watched im awe as smaller fabrials around it got it up, the whole fabrial blazing in the night. It was done. They could trap it. But first, a distraction. Beggar was walking forward. With a little help, Navani pushed the fabrial after him. People were saying Beggar was a Herald. Hopefully that would mean he would be a distraction and a lure. "Come!" She yelled to the party. "We can capture it! We just need a bigger distraction!"
  13. Cream Tuatara
    It was done. As big as a horse carriage, it was the result of Navani's fine planning and the palace builders finest jobs, mixed in with Jasnah's abilities. It was done. By all calculations, if Yelig-Nar was properly distracted, this could catch it. But there was that other thing Navani had read about. A lure. Something to attract the Unmade into the sphere. What would if like? Sources regarded it as being an individual rather than a force, and from the looks of it, Aesudan has bonded it. Was that what it wanted? A host to bond with? The fabrial was completed. Only the gemstone was required. A beggar walked into the Shadows. "Are you crazy?" She asked him. "You'll die if you go there! You don't even have a Blade."
  14. Cream Tuatara
    Meanwhile, at the palace, the contruction of the mega-fabrial was going marvellously. A large metal frame lay where there was once nothing, smaller gemstones of all colours lining up its legs. Jasnah's soulcasting had come exceptionally useful. Now, they could carve wood into the shapes they needed, and Soulcast it into metal. Contruction after contruction, the fabrial was looking just as good as it did in Navani's book. All they needed was the perfect gemstone. A cradle had been constructed for it at the top of the large fabrial, veins of metal and gems branching off of it to the rest of the machine. It was the last piece of the puzzle. But Yelig-Nar was here. It came as a scream in the wind, and then multiple. Shadows coalesced to become crystals to become corrupted, and the full place was hit by Yelig-Nar's power. It felt like a small earthquake. If you were looking in the halls of the palace that night, all you would see would writhing darkness. "Quick!" Navani shouted over the scream. "We have to finish it now!" The fabrial was almost complete.
  15. Cream Tuatara
    "Thank you." Navani said as Ivory disapeared. But even though they didn't have the perfect gemstone they could still contruct the base it would sit in. Navani had decided that the base would have to be ,see of smal, fabrials, either for structural integrity, power stability, and obviously, power enhancement. All around her, people buzzed as she oversaw pieces of metal and wood be attached together for the task. A fabrial of fabrials, large as a cart and possibly the most powerful invention yet, in the process of contruction! That would give the Vedens something to be jealous about. But first, they needed to contain this Unamde, otherwise there wouldn't be a Jah Keved the next day. There wouldn't even be a Roshar!
  16. Cream Tuatara
    Navani considered the Shadow's words. All exits out of here, were, unfortunately blocked by the Unmade, so if they were to get a perfect gemstone, it would have to be through Ivory. That, or another idea Navani had that could act as a temporary substitute. Risky. "Are you sure?' She asked. "Maybe it would be worth taking a look. We are desparate."
  17. Cream Tuatara
    Navani blinked at the Shadow Person that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, but kept her focus, and understood the words. They made sense. Yes, Navani had been thinking of everything too scholarly and she was grateful the others had told her about the idea's implausibility. She had assumed the optimism results - that people were willing to give their Blades. She needed to practically, like a soldier. These were no longer theoretical endeavours, this was life or death. Already, rumbles could be heard. Yelig-Nar was close. "You're right. I've been thinking of it wrong. If we got all of our Shardbearers to charge the Unmade, we should be able to distract it enough. But..." She took the time to look each of the Shardbearers in the eye. "You're charging an Unmade. There's no guarantee of survival. Apart from that, factoring in we have some of the best trained warriors and duellists in the country, it should be enough." She referred back to her notebook. Filled to the brim with designs, she had made new additions. After sending scouts to Cheka on Aesudan's dead body, they'd found the crystals sprouting it to be Amethyst. Essence of foil. Soulcaster of metal. Related to Kalak, the Herald of the Willshapers. Now, each of the pages on Navani's notebook had 'AMETHYST' written in the centre, with ideas branching off it. The servants had already fetched Navani some books, and she was rifling through them, writing on some of the pages. They could be replaced. All sources has stated you needed to lure a spren to trap it. This was true. She'd seen it herself when they'd captured spren for fabrials. So. What would Yelig-Nar desire. What would be their lure? Sources also stated the mythical perfect gemstone was needed. She doubted such a thing existed, but if there was any night where myths became reali, tonight was it. Finally, she was done designing. Something. It was all in her notebook, it's design spanning more pages Navani could count. But it was something. "Men and women," she called out. "I have a design that may just work. But we need to build it. We will need as many people as we can - this will be big." She finalised the design in her book, and prayed to the Almighty that it would work. As she asked for some people to help in the contruction of the fabrial, she beckoned to @SE_Ivory. "I have a task for you," she said in a hushed tone. "It may be dangerous. This Shadesmar place you talk of, would it be possible to steal a perfect gemstone? At all? We need one."
  18. Cream Tuatara
    Navani took the notebook from the servant girl with the Shardblade. With everything going on right now, she wasn't the least bit surprised. Ahead of her, a polished battering ram stood. One of Gavilar's favourites. He liked keeping it on display at fancy events. Now, it was only a sad reminder his existence. Capturing the Unamade is one task, Navani thought as she hurriedly scribbled in the notebook. Distracting it was quite another. Page after page of prototype idea, each one crowded with Navani's squashed handwriting. She was running out of pages, but she was confident she was onto something. She was used to having all the time in the world to come up with her ideas, but right now time was like a slippery skyeel, fleeting with each moment. Diagram after diagram, Navani was soon exhausted. She was no soldier. She was no tactician. What did she know of fighting. Violence wasn't her Calling. No, she told herself. Inventing was. And Navani scribbled more, concepts of fabrials that were too theoretical to even think about bouncing in her head, and no she came up with something. An idea. A way to distract the Unmade. Something that could actually work. "Sevrants," she said, motioning to the ones who didn't have Shardblades. "Undo that Battering Ram." "Qu-Brightness Navani, why?" "Trust me." So they unclasped the war machine. It was huge, made to be pushed along by Shardbearers. It was perfect. Pencil still in her hand, Navani sketched out measurements along its side, comparing it to her drawing every now and then. She drew outlines, and mapped out where everything was to be. Now came the hard part. "Everyone!" She shouted. "I think I have a way of distracting the Unmade. At first, I didn't thrk Shardblades would do the job, and I was somewhat correct. They may be powerful, but this is Unmade. It's the imbodiment of power and then some, and not in a good way. She motioned to the Battering Ram. "But the complex equations I've been doi have led me to something. You see, while individual Shardblades would be too weak, if we somehow tied their hilts together so that they were all pointing the same way, and arranged all of their points to meet at the same point, we could effectively create a combination of all the Shardblades we have at our disposal, and from the looks of it, it seems we have a lot. "Attach that to the Battering Ram we have here," Navani concluded. "And we effectively have the power of all our Shardblades in one spot, while maintaining the brute force of a battering ram. If it doesn't kill it, my calculations say it could be enough of a distraction." Navani raised her voice again. "So, please. All who are this party. Give up your Shardblades, and let us tie the hilts together. You won't be in any danger, as you can summon your Blade back any time. But please, without all of our Blades combining, we won't be able to take this thing down."
  19. Cream Tuatara
    Navani hesitated, and then internally scowled at herself. When had she become so hesitant? Perhaps it had something to do with the demonic the entity corrupting the palace. Hmm. It seemed Navani's sarcasm still worked. "It seems a lot of people here have Shardblades we have no idea existed. Perhaps them." Her mind wandered to other things. "And the fabrials. The noise fabrial. The broken Soulcaster. The temporal one. These, save for the soulcaster, are remarkable. I didn't know they existed. Noise spren exist? Perhaps these items are special in some way, and are critical in defeating the...thing." She looked towards the crowd again. "But distractions are useless if we cannot trap it. I don't know how it got into the Black Sphere, but if someone gave me time, a pencil, and a book on the Unmade I could probably come up with something rudimentary enough to maybe hold it off. Unfortunately, we seem to not have any of those things. It's a shaky plan, but plans are. Besides, if we can fix the Soulcaster Ash gave me, maybe we can Soulcast the Unmade into smoke? Or perhaps we could soulcast a large stone block directly above and it and hope for the best." She hoped tonight didn't leave a bad impression on the Parshendi. Who was she kidding?
  20. Cream Tuatara
    Navani tried stop shaking. She was never a cowardly woman. Even when the King himself had been killed, she had remained calm. But now? With men with gemless Shardblades and Aesudan dead and Jasnah having a Shardblade and this talk about Heralds and Desolations? It was a lot. Too much. Navani had a scholarly mind, however, and she would not lose her cool, even if there was an entity of damnation within these very halls. She looked at Jasnah, at Adolin. She had no idea what had happened to Aesudan, but from the top of her head she could remember that the Unmade may have needed a Bond with a host to work. She turned to Jasnah, who'd spoken of Heralds and seemed to have Shardblade. Things were getting out of hand. Unmade were figures of myth, the stuff of nightmares? Would Shardblades even do anything. The only way he Unmade had been restricted had been... Wait. "Everyon!" Navani shouted, standing up on a table. She internally cringed at the unladylike posture, but the party was in shambles, and she needed to do something. "The Unmade was trapped in a gemstone before it was freed. Fabrials are my expertise. Perhaps if we distracted the Unmade long enough, presumably with those Shardblades everyone seems to have, we can trap it again?" It was a crazy idea, and yet Navani seemed to like it.
  21. Cream Tuatara
    Navani walked with a worried air. Aesudan, attacked? It was bad enough the current King was dead, attacking the new queen would be the next worst thing. New queen. It didn't take long for Navani to accept she was no longer queen, no longer had the benefits of being such. She was simply another brightness now, albeit a high one. Still, she hoped she could guide the current queen to the right path.
  22. Cream Tuatara
    Navani Kholin spoke up: "Due to our studies of the Black Sphere, my current goal is to destroy it. How this is done, I do not know. I don't know if destroying is a specific thing I can do, or whether it just means that I attack it. Unfortunately, my chances of succeeding in attacking anything are very low, so I seek assistence from anyone. It's quite possible that the murderer has the same goal, to destroy the sphere, and had to get it off Gavilar the only way they knew how. This still means that Gavilar should be avenged. But will any help me in the destruction of the Unmade?"
  23. Cream Tuatara
    Navani nodded and accepted each alibi as it came. Some would be fake, she thought, but hopefully the liars would be exposed in due time. For the meantime, Navani listened to the Shin servant, the one the Parshendi had brought in. He argued against one of the Parsh being the murderer, and Navani patiently waited until after he'd spoken to finish. "It's not just a pretty bauble, servant." She raised her voice now, so the whole party could hear. "When Gavilar, Jasnah and I studied the Black Sphere, we figured out what it really was. This sphere is not just some decoration, it houses one of the Unmade themselves!" Gasps broke out among the crowd. "We do not know its use, but the sphere holds one of the great monsters we call Unmade, and so we. Must. Destroy it!"

    I did not leave out these names on accident. Amaram said he gambled and has completed his wincon (first post). He has an Alibi. You might have missed I said that last cycle I studied the Black Sphere with Gavilar and Jasnah. This clears Jasnah. It also clears me, and Jasnah can confirm. I forgot Thaidakar was dead, though, so thanks. Due to the new information regarding ostracised actions as well, this clears Darkness and you. Revised List: Dalinar Tearim Ialai Elhokar Aesudan Adolin Beggar Ash Kelek Eshonai Klade
