    We have six hours until rollover and no serious contenders for the lynch. That's worrying. I know that we're starting to enter the mid-game slump, but that's no excuse. We had less information on D2 but were still willing to lynch someone. In fact, we don't even have as much RP as we did on D2. It's even further away from Christmas than it was then, so we have no excuse. I've heard a lot of thoughts on Albatross, Weasel, and Crocodile. Nothing on the person I am proposing we lynch, Taupe Gecko. With only one to three elims left, I don't think it's safe to say this lack of a defense is a point in their favor. What do you all think of them? Between Lion and Gecko, who would you rather lynch? If neither, who else?

    A scanner who claims that someone is a Sympathizer is almost guaranteed to be telling the truth, unless we are at LyLo, because we can easily check through kills or lynching. They themselves are not guaranteed to be village, but with the number of Sympathizers left, I don't think they would want to intentionally cut down on their numbers even more. Conversely, a scanner who claims that someone is village should not be relied on so much, because we don't want to kill the person they claim is village.

    In light of what you all have said, I am bumping Weasel down to NAI on my list. Additionally, I have reconsidered Axolotl, and if they are who I think they are, then their lack of posts is more NAI than suspicious.

    The part about Albatross and Iguana both being elims is a typo. Or is it? When players haven't posted much, I give them a lot of leeway if they have stated IRL reasons for their lack of activity. If not, I see if their posts have anything that engages with the alignment of other players, such as trusts, suspicions, defenses, and votes. I've noticed that sometimes eliminators will post material related to other things, such as role distribution or banter, but state very little on whether they believe other players are village or eliminator. Thus, players like Swan who have a medium level of posts but comparatively low amount of information read as more suspicious to me. I don't intend to disparage Kangaroo for their RP. However, the problem is that they haven't engaged with the game in any other way that I know of, even voting on Rhino, who was an obvious place to put a vote if they had no other idea of what to do. If they are attempting to give that information through their RP or some other gimmick, then it's not working. I'm not opposed to players filtering all their posts through something like RP, code, or High Imperial, but I believe that if it's not obvious that they are filtering their thoughts this way, then there should at least be a warning or other statement of intent. If @Sage Kangaroo said that this lack of content is because they are too busy IRL to do much else, or a byproduct of trying to make all their thoughts fit through narration of someone slowly going mad, then I would be much more forgiving. However, since they haven't stated anything of the sort, I assume that the lack of content is an end in itself, which is inherently suspicious.

    Sein turned around to face them. "Thanks," he said quietly. "I...I don't have to go back immediately. I haven't found my Guardian in centuries, so a few decades give and take won't hurt. I'll help you find your axehounds first." He updated his projection of his map, but turned off the radar display. They wouldn't need that anymore here. "Where do we need to go?" Come on everyone, only one page so far? We can do better than that. In the interest of promoting discussion, I am posting my impressions on every player left in the game. I hope that you will do the same. Villagers @Amber Vulture: Jashi, Stormwarden Hasn't posted today. Shame! On D2, they defended Iguana and voted on Rhino as an alternative to lynching Albatross, but at the last minute switched to Lion to solidify their lynch. They also did some analysis on Rhino's posts. Slight village read. @Amethyst Scorpion: Jesh, Lost Axehound Most of their posts are RP. I will note, I really don't want to kill my RP partners, so that may color my reads of them. D2, they voted on Iguana. D3, they defend Lion. Their content appears to be on a relatively good level considering their sickness. Slight village read. @Indigo Weasel : Adhom Inem, Ardent Shaaaame! On N2, they conclude that Chameleon, Penguin, and Iguana are all probably village for lynching Zebra, but then hedge on that statement. From then, they continue to post, but not very many things relevant to the game, until D3, when they state that they scanned Albatross. It removed doubt that Albatross was lying and sped up Rhino's lynch. Maybe an elim, knowing that Rhino had an extra life, could've decided it was worth to speed up the Rhino lynch to get some trust, but I don't think it's likely. Strong village read. @Magenta Albatross : Jonan Wikim, Lost Axehound (Gren) Again, an RP partner, but my read on them is much stronger. Their actions paint a picture of villageryness. The msot important part is this (I've already typed the other stuff before and don't feel like tying it again): with their early losses, I don't think a rational elim team would've chosen to bus another member. Strong villager read. @Mauve Crocodile : Sernes, Paranoid Scout Their defense has convinced me that they actually are village. Now that we know they were a Dustbringer last cycle, their suggestion to lynch someone else and wait for a vigilante to kill Rhino looks much better. Village read.@Opal Lion : Tnaidar, Scout Shaaaaaaaaame! To be honest, on D2, I didn't think they were very suspicious, I just thought that both Albatross and Iguana were elim so I went for the first alternative lynch target that I think of. Now, because of how Rhino tried to push their lynch right before they were revealed, I think Lion is village. They still should post more. @Saffron Iguana : Merinira, Scout They flipped a lynch onto an Elim D1 and have been active since. Strong village read. @Salmon Meerkat : Cadamum, Ghostblood Recruit More shame! On N2, they say that they are suspicious of Vulture and trust Octopus, Falcon, and me. They also say that they wanted to look more at Rhino later, who we now know is an elim. Slight villager read for that. NAI @Scarlet Octopus : Max Mercury, Past Lives Less shame, because they may have been waylaid by IRL issues. On D2, they post a massive analysis post. They want to lynch Iguana for information and state suspicion of me, which is quickly retracted. Interestingly, at the end of D2 they state that between Lion and Rhino, they would rather lynch Lion. NAI. @Sunburst Toucan : Tafud, Slightly Crazy They were busy with IRL stuff and came back at a time that wasn't conducive to analysis. NAI for now, waiting for more posts from them. Elim @Coral Swan: Germaine, ScholarHasn't posted today. Again, shame! Out of 4 Cycles, they only of 4 posts. In my PM with them, I found out that their posts are structured off of an old work of writing, which is giving them some trouble. It's a cool cosmetic role but pads out their posts so it looks like they're saying more than they actually are. On D3, they voted on Albatross for manipulating their vote and for no other given reason. Their lack of content makes them NAI, which at this point of the game I will be labeling as slightly elim by default. Overall slight elim read unless they post more. @Mint Heron : Sam, Once a Darkeyes Shaaaaaaaame! On D2, they said that their relatives were gone, so they should have more time to post, but they haven't done much since. On D3, they defended Lion on the basis that Rhino had just tried to re-lynch them. Slight elim by default. @Onyx Flamingo : Kir, Kleptomaniac Scout More Shaaaaaaame! On N3, they defend Lion. They questioned Crocodile about their Dustbringer claim. That's it. Slight elim by default. @Sage Kangaroo : Gilglin, Ardent (Devotary of the Mind) All the shame! In three posts, they have said nothing that is related to the game at all. The only thing that might be related is on D2, when they post something that could be interpreted as a claim that they were a Dustbringer, or had that power. I'm not even labeling them slight elim -- Kangaroo gets to go straight to elim for the sheer uselessness of their posts. @Taupe Gecko : Brana, Scholar Their RP is great, their lack of posts less so. They actually have several posts, but hedge on their reads or state them as dependent on the alignment of other, still alive players. On D3, they state that they want to lynch Lion next, despite the fact that Rhino was pushing for that lynch before reveal. Elim read. Taupe Gecko. @Violet Axolotl : Adi, Anxious Shaaame! On D2, they vote on Albatross, with pretty good reasoning. They do a lot of summaries, which might be useful to an individual but aren't as much for others if the summary doesn't come with reads. Slight elim by default.
  6. Emerald Falcon
    Crocodile has a point here. Unless someone else claims that they submitted a Dustbringer kill on Rhino, then we can assume that Crocodile actually did kill Rhino. For now, we should move on to discussing something else.
  7. Emerald Falcon
    Mine didn't! @Elbereth, @Fifth Scholar, can we take the writeup as confirmation that Purrl killed Rhino?
  8. Emerald Falcon
    Maybe my sarcasm detector needs recalibration, but your earlier statement doesn't sound like snark. It sounds like you're backing off from your previous statement. It's not helping your case here. As for why I want Rhino dead so badly: I have seen what an outed elim can do if left alive. They troll, obfuscate, and bog up the thread. They can still send in orders. They can discuss plans with the rest of their team. And if their tongue is silver, their words honeyed, and their presence slippery, they can continually give the village reasons to avoid killing them this cycle until they reach the end of the game and win. Call me paranoid, but I have seen it happen multiple times before. I don't want to see it happen again.
  9. Emerald Falcon
    @Mauve Crocodile, now that we know Rhino has an extra life, what do you have to say about your suggestion to only Dustbringer them, which would've let him survive? It looks really bad now.
  10. Emerald Falcon
    Thank you, Heron. Now, for a look into Mauve Crocodile. In Crocodile's first post, they poke vote Flamingo. This vote is so unmemorable that in a vote tally, they have to ask for it to be added. In C2, they defend Iguana and Toucan, and vote on Albatross. In C3, they ask if we can use a Dustbringer kill on Rhino and use the lynch on someone else instead. In a standard game with a consistent vigilante kill (AKA one with less worldhoppers that make things unpredictable), this wouldn't be such a bad idea. Still, in this case, that plan might've kept Rhino alive a little longer. Possible Sympathizer motive Nothing strikes me as particularly suspicious here, but I dislike the lack of content as a whole. Unless that changes, I wouldn't mind Crocodile being picked off by a Dustbringer kill. Even if they were village, I don't think we'd feel the lack. @Mauve Crocodile, you mentioned that you were going to RP, what happened to that? What do you think of Sage Kangaroo? While we're here -- @Sage Kangaroo, what do you think of Opal Lion? "Of course even your dogs are weird," Sein said. He shook in the air agitatedly. "I'm definitely not in the past. Too many things don't line up. You don't recognize the Traveler, so you'd have to be pre-Golden Age or in the middle of the Dark Age. There's no wireless transmissions of any point, which rules out the Golden Age, because they definitely had the internet during then. And none of this stuff fits the Dark Age either. Humanity lost a lot of knowledge during that, but not enough to forget the solar system, develop hundreds of new languages, and rename everything. Plus," and here he looked at Jonan and Jesh, "you don't look like the humans I know. None of them have such brightly colored eyes while still having pink to brown skin color." Sein flew off to the next room before they could answer. For the first time, he realized the gravity of his situation. He couldn't just pretend he was in the Dark Age of humanity anymore. He was lost, alone, and in some bizarro world where the Traveler didn't exist and the dogs were crustaceans. He checked his Light reserves, the thing that powered him, gave him sapience, made him live. Since entering this place, his Light had drained 0.3%. A small amount, but eventually, he would run out. Without the Traveler, he had no way to replenish it. Eventually, he would run out. Shut down. Become a lifeless lump of metal and glass impossibly far from home. He stopped in front of a large window, blue eye dim. It opened to a large mountain range going as far as he could see, with the western horizon darkened with angry clouds. Large snake things with fins circled in the sky, despite the fact that they should be too heavy to fly. Another reminder that this wasn't Sein's world. Still, there was a strange grace to these snake things. They danced through the sky, swooping and soaring joyfully through the clouds. Sein watched as one dove for the ground, far, far away. Its tucked its fins in and streaked downwards. A trail of colorful lights followed its path. Bioluminescence? No, these lights emanated paracausal power, the same type that Sein had felt when he scanned the spren earlier. A human man flew in the sky towards the snakes, carrying a ridiculously oversized sword. A moment later, the sword morphed into a spear. He jabbed and changed direction, suddenly flying sideways. No, flying was the wrong word -- he was accelerating sideways at a constant just slightly off of 9.8 meters per second squared. A smokey light leaked out of his eyes and ears, similar to the spheres Sein had seen earlier. Joy filled his face, a joy that Sein recognized. Though the exact movements were different, he looked like so many Guardians that Sein had seen before, bounding through the air, pushing movement beyond where the body could normally go. Sein blinked, slowly. This world was strange and different. Still, he had seen literal aliens before. He had skimmed the waves of a liquid methane ocean on Titan. He had visited a kennel of rehabilitated warbeast, which were another alien version of dogs tamed to be friendly to Humanity. If he could accept all of that, then he could accept Roshar. Axehounds and all. If he was doomed to die here without the Light, he might as well find out as much about it as he could. @Amethyst Scorpion @Magenta Albatross

    Sein bobbed in the air as he turned the information over in his mind. The Cognitive Realm, where these spren lived, was easy enough to understand. These things had their own pocket dimension and could manifest outside of it in lesser ways, but didn't have full control over it. The beads and reverse seas sounded weird, but not beyond normal pocket dimension weirdness. Sein scrutinized the tiny dark cloud that had appeared around the man, the one which was apparently a spren. He flew around it curiously, surveying it from all angles with a blue line emanating from his eye. Even though it didn't have eyes or any other obvious sensory organs, he got the feeling that it was watching him too. The spren was made entirely of paracausal power. Not dazzling in the entire electromagnetic spectrum like the Light, not casting static on its own existence like the Darkness, not even slippery power waiting to be molded like an Ahamkara's. All Sein could sense of the paracausal power was that it existed. The rest of it actively resisted analysis, like an ivy-covered stone wall that refused to budge no matter how he bashed against it. It gave off no signs of life. No gas exchange, no metabolism, no release of heat from breaking down glucose for energy. It didn't even have a shadow on the ground. The spren vanished. Back into its Cognitive Realm, probably. "Now I know how the Vex feel about us," Sein muttered. He rebooted all his sensors, as if that would make the data he had collected make more sense. "Enough with this metaphysical stuff," Sein said. "What do your axehounds look like?" He hoped that doing something as mundane as finding their two dogs would force this world to make more sense. @Mauve Crocodile, no it won't. None of the Dustbringer or Skybreaker votes are binding. People could just as easily decide to take the person with the second-highest votes, or someone not mentioned at all. It's just a fancier way of stating trusts and suspicions.
  12. Emerald Falcon
    Unless at least two players publically volunteer to do the deed, I don't think we can rely on that. However, we may want to discuss people who we think the next worldhopper with a kill should attack. (I assume that someone has it this cycle.) We could have a separate system of votes in orange. Obviously, it won't be binding, but it would be a useful way to aggregate public opinion in case the worldhopper with the kill isn't sure what to do. This isn't intended to order them around, but to instead continue the discussion while still lynching Rhino. Right now, I think Heron is worth a poke, if only because of their lack of activity. @Mint Heron, what you do think of Opal Lion? Village or eliminator?
  13. Emerald Falcon
    Why are you suspicious of Octopus?
  14. Emerald Falcon
    My dear Weasel, whyever would you say that? Do you truly believe me so incapable of going a single turn without a Destiny reference? Truly?
  15. Emerald Falcon
    To all of you villagers out there, thank you for your trust. It means a lot to me. Sympathizers, I know that I'm one of those players that you must hate. Active, analyzing and trusted! You must be so done with me now. Just like you were with poor Penguin. Sadly for you, I have an announcement to make: I'm a worldhopper! And guess just what power I drew tonight? Elsecalling! See you on the other side, Sympathizers!
  16. Emerald Falcon
    Sein's blue eye shut in exasperation. "Assume I don't know anything about your world. Treat me like a little kid. I don't know anything about the three realms." He flew to the spot that the man had disappeared from. "If you can explain his disappearance too, that would be great." @Amethyst Scorpion @Magenta Albatross
  17. Emerald Falcon
    Annoyed sigh. Would you mind explaining your reasoning for voting on me again? I didn't understand it much the first time around, and now that you say you didn't understand it much either, I'd rather not die to that. After all, dead players can't RP. If you must know, when I wrote that roles post D1 I had no idea that so many players were worldhoppers. There are many, many ways for distributions to be trollish, and when I wrote it I was thinking of AG2, where the elims had vote manipulation and the villagers had smokers, but the villagers thought that smoking was only useful to the elims. They made the brilliant choice of trying to lynch every single smoker until they hit an elim. I also don't see how expressing trust of Penguin shortly before their death must have been an elim ploy. Would you have preferred that I do no analysis at all? Is every player who accurately predicts that someone is a villager considered suspicious? Quite honestly, between this an the Iguana thing, I'm starting to wonder if the meta has shifted to punish players who get things right. I know I'm village, but I don't like the options of who I'd have to vote on to keep myself alive if you do decide to come after me. At least I suppose I'd get an "I told you" from the dead doc if you lynched me.
  18. Emerald Falcon
    "You mean Ascendant Realms?" Sein asked. He shivered, a mid-air wobble. "Pocket universes that the Hive use to stay alive? Are these spheres filled with the power of the Darkness?" @Emerald Falcon @Amethyst Scorpion
  19. Emerald Falcon
    A look into Opal Lion Overall, I'm getting a slight elim read. In their first post, they try to guess at role distributions. NAI, leaning elim. It's the type of thing that an elim can put honest effort into trying to solve, which makes them look active without having to say anything about suspicions and trusts. Their next few posts are RP. Then, they cast suspicion on Iguana, but don't vote. As I've said before, I disagree with Lion on Iguana's suspiciousness. Maybe because of that, I find the timing suspicious. A lot of people express suspicion of Iguana, and then Lion adds to the pile, but hedges on a vote. In their next post, they keep hedging by saying that they think Iguana might not be so suspicious after all, but they won't vote either way until Toucan says something. All in all, this makes up a picture of little content and low commitment. As things are, I'm happy to keep my vote on Lion. @Opal Lion, now that Toucan has spoken, what do you think? How will you vote? Take a firm stance on something and I might remove my vote.
  20. Emerald Falcon
    Toucan. Given that they've actually been busy with IRL things, I'd rather hold off on lynching them until they come back. Have a temporary vote on Opal Lion for now. I disagree with their reasoning and hedging on Iguana and that's all that I can say for now until I do a more in depth analysis. @Scarlet Octopus, in your table, you include number of mentions. I'm kind of curious about that -- what do you think it'll be useful for? ”Sein, I’m gonna be completely honest with you...whatever you are,” he said. “I’ve never heard of any of that. And I’ve been to Nalthis, Scadrial, Threnody, and spent a few years studying in Silverlight. What kind of Investiture do you use?” "I'm not from your world," Sein said. "If I am, I'm from your far future. I was being chased by enemies and jumped into a portal to escape, that's all. You could say that I'm invested with the power of the Light, but it's such an old way to say it that nobody uses it anymore." Sein moved towards one of the exits of the hall. "You're all still looking for your lost axehounds, right? If we're going to compare every bit of terminology we might as well cover some ground while we do so. Tell me how these glowy spheres work." @Amethyst Scorpion @Magenta Albatross
  21. Emerald Falcon
    Sein scooted away from the man's hand, but not before he felt his shell being tapped. "Hey!" he said indignantly. "I'm not your spren, Jesh. I couldn't bond with you even if I wanted to, because you're not dead yet. Only dead people can become Guardians." He looked at the two humans, and sighed. Their ignorance about Ghosts was astounding, but in a world where they hadn't even heard of the Traveler, maybe it wasn't so surprising. Sein started a recording. He had a feeling that he'd have to repeat this information many, many more times. He started. "Here's the short version. A long, long time ago there were these fundamental forces of the universe -- you'd call them gods. The Light and the Darkness. The Light likes cooperation and progress, the Darkness likes survival of the fittest and death. They used to live in harmony, but one day they got into a fight. Somehow -- I don't know the metaphysics very well, you'd have to ask a Warlock -- this created the universe as we know it. This includes paracausality, which basically means the ability to break reality in a way you want. Kinda. Anyways, since then the Light and the Dark have been at war for billions of years, and they've chosen several species to fight on their side." Sein projected a photograph of awhite orb hovering above Mars, and three humans stepping out of their spaceship to greet it. "The Light started helping Humanity around 2014 CE. That's when we started calling it the Traveler. Then the Darkness attacked, destroying most of the progress the Traveler gave us and sending Humanity back into the Dark Age. The Traveler protected us, but was very badly hurt. It took little pieces of itself and made Ghosts to defend Humanity." Now, Sein projected an image of a human dressed in bulky armor carrying a rifle. Their face was obscured by a mask that covered one eye, but they radiated strength and determination, even through a projection. Next to them floated a Ghost in a dark grey shell, who similarly radiated determination. "I'm one of these Ghosts. We travel all around Sol, looking for our other half to raise back to life. It takes a dead person though. Not sure why. They get powers, like being able to fly and throw grenades made of energy. We help maintain their guns, too, so they pack a bigger punch than you expect. Most of these people become Guardians that defend Humanity from everything that wants to kill us." Sein stopped the recording. "That's the history of where I'm from. If you want more details, you'll have to ask a Warlock. Any of it sound familiar to you?" @Amethyst Scorpion @Magenta Albatross A few things. First, has there been a game recently where an elim bussed a teammate early on? I'm genuinely unsure where this suspicion of Iguana is from, if not from that. When I last played (which wasn't so long ago) lynching an elim D1 got you a village read. Second, @Scarlet Octopus, I stand by my reads on Albatross and Iguana. Albatross's behavior D1 made sense from a villagery standpoint. It also made sense from an elim standpoint, but not overwhelmingly so. I'll admit that I went easy on them -- I keep a mental list of players who I can expect less rational behavior from and/or poorly worded statements from, who all usually end up getting lynched while village in the early part of the cycle. I thought that Albatross might be one of those players and the more they've talked, the stronger the feeling gets, that they're one of the lynch traps that the village always goes after. I might be wrong, but in the interest of promoting fun I thought I'd try not to let them get killed immediately. I would actually compare Albatross's behavior to Toucan's. Albatross, whatever their faults, gives an appearance of trying, or at least appearing to try. To me, it's plausible that they're one of those players who haven't yet figured how to communicate things in a way that the rest of us get. By contrast, Toucan does not even pretend to try. They feel like they're stonewalling. I tried PMing them and got the same result, too. Maybe it's just their chosen cosmetic role that's rubbing me the wrong way, but I've seen some elims who post and say effectively nothing for the whole game, similar to what Toucan has done so far. At least Albatross says something. I will do analysis on someone outside this Toucan - Iguana mess tomorrow.
  22. Emerald Falcon
    "It," Sein said huffily, "can hear you. And has a name and gender." He rose to meet the man at eye level, eye narrowing in annoyance. Sein spoke as haughily as possible. "I am Sein, a Ghost. Preferred pronouns are he/him and most certainly not it. Currently, I have decided to accompany Mr. Jesh here as he searches for his lost dog, but if he believes me to be a mere figment of his imagination I will gladly leave so as not to trouble him any further." He sniffed, but without a nose, the expression was probably lost on these humans. @Amethyst Scorpion @Magenta Albatross I'm honestly confused by the suspicion on Iguana. I do not believe it is a smart move for the elims to bus one of their own on D1 when they weren't under any suspicion, regardless of role, or even if Zebra seemed inactive. Why? 1. The GMs have already stated that there is a pinchhitter available, and this is the type of thing that most elim teams will ask before offing their own D1. 2. Because games are unpredictable, and it opens themselves up to the exact type of situation we have now, where two of them are down in the first two cycles. I believe that after lynching a Sympathizer, Iguana should be low priority on the list of players to investigate. Now, if you believe that Iguana might have been a Sympathizer trying to swing the vote off of their teammate Toucan, then the better lynch to figure that out would be Toucan. Toucan has said less, already been under some suspicion, and if village would be less of a loss than Iguana, who is active and provides analysis.
  23. Emerald Falcon
    What's a devotary? What does it have to do with fonts? Sol is another name for the collection of planets and moons orbiting a star that is the birthplace of Humanity. It used to just be the fancy name for the star, but language drift happened and since around 2100 CE it's been used to refer to the whole system. Toto and Kansas are references. There's no way you'd understand it. A look at the Toucan lynch last turn Tuatara, very early in the turn It's an early poke vote. Nothing alignment indicative. Penguin, 14 hours before rollover (later retracted) Doubling the pressure after Toucan posts but does not say anything substantial. Penguin later moved their vote. Based off of earlier analysis, I think they're village. Albatross, 9 hours before rollover I don't think this vote is as damning as it seems. First off, it was made 8 or 9 hours before rollover, which is a few hours before Penguin put a second vote on Zebra. There's no need for a Sympathizer to swing the lynch off of their teammate if their teammate isn't under pressure yet. Second, the vote is partially valid. While avoiding answering what role you think is the most interesting isn't necessarily the act of an Sympathizer, making two posts but saying nothing useful in them is definitely worth a vote. Here is the entirety of Toucan's posts on D1: Toucan let us know that they were following along with the game, and then said nothing useful. That's suspicious. I agree with Albatross that Toucan is acting weirdly. @Sunburst Toucan, I know it's late, but would you like to state your thoughts on the game now? What do you think of Albatross's vote on you? "You're kind of funny, you know. I don't know half of what you're saying. But you're the first talking spren I've met. What kinda things can you do?" Jesh said. "I am not a spren!" Sein said. "I'm a Ghost, which is a little tiny piece of the Traveler. My job here is to find a good, worthy person and give them some of the Traveler's light so they can use their powers to defend Humanity from evil. Totally different! I don't know what a spren is but I bet they aren't like me!" He added a little more to the map he was projecting. "I can do all sorts of things to aid my Guardian in combat, when I find them. You see this radar circle that I'm projecting? If a part turns red, that means there's an enemy. The direction of the part shows where the enemy is." He paused. "Well, I haven't calibrated it to this world, so right now everything except us will be marked as an enemy. I'm assuming Trisk is alive, so they'll show up on here too." They moved into a longer stone hall that had multiple openings in it. This one was lit by a series of spheres with bright spots of colors inside. The spheres were placed evenly along the floor in makeshift pedestals that kept them in place. Sein stopped look at one, fascinated. The light outside it stayed consistent, but the light inside flurried throughout, like dry ice being blown around inside a container. He scanned it. Outside container of solid glass, inside fragment of sapphire, no circuitry. And it was...infused with paracausal power? Sein's eye widened. "What is this?" he asked. At that moment, Sein's radar flashed red, and someone -- or something -- rounded the corner. @Amethyst Scorpion A false alarm? Another person showing up? Trisk the axehound? Up to you and anyone else who wants to join!

    Sein's eye dimmed. He sank towards the floor, ignoring most of the kid's chatter. "No Sol. No Traveler," he muttered. "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore." Maybe this was just the Dark Ages. Maybe Sein had found an exceptionally ignorant kid. But the fact remained that they were talking in a language that he had never heard of before, that someone -- or something -- had sneakily installed in Sein's system. Whatever was going on here, he had to figure it out. If only to warn all the other Ghosts when they retrieved the information from his corpse. First, he'd start by mapping this Urithiru place. Sein projected a blank grey space and marked their position with a green arrowhead. He filled in lines to mark all the walls he could sense, and next to it added in a circle divided into sectors arranged around a middle circle. The topmost sector flashed red. He started floating to the next room, in the direction of the red flash. "If we're going to do this, we should introduce ourselves. I'm Sein. What's your name? I'm going to teach you how to read radar." @Amethyst Scorpion

    Votes on Zebra (Arauna) Chameleon, 7 hours before rollover Penguin, 6 hours before rollover Iguana, right before rollover Chameleon's vote could have been an elim poke vote on an ally. I would not count it as alignment indicative either way, as it's an RP vote and was placed early enough in the cycle that it could've been retracted had Zebra (Arauna) responded. I trust Penguin's and Iguana's votes for sure. Out of any number of lynch trains with one vote on them, they chose Zebra's. It doesn't make sense for a Sympathizer to save themselves by lynching a teammate, especially if that teammate is a Worldhopper. Iguana's vote happened very close to rollover and ensured Zebra's lynch. It would be an extremely risky move for the Sympathizers to lynch an inactive Worldhopper teammate when there's a pinchhitter available. @Saffron Iguana, regarding your earlier question, I thought that Axolotl's post count list will be useful later in the game if they keep it up, but as it was then, was only a summary of three pages, so there wasn't much to say. This is a bit of an embarrassing question, but...what's an Odium Sympathizer? You say it like it's a bad thing but don't understand how you can have a hateful sympathizer. Isn't that an oxymoron?
