As Sein looked at the kid in front of him, he began to get a bad feeling. "This is a map of Sol. The solar system? Home of Humanity?" Sein said, with a note of confusion. The map was the standard NASA version, which everyone used nowadays. Even if the planets and moons within weren't recognizable by the graphics, the map was labeled in English, Chinese, and Portuguese. It should be universally understandable. Except, now that Sein paid attention to the map, it wasn't labeled English, Chinese, and Portuguese. It was labeled in a single line of Alethi women's script. He didn't know that language -- but he did. Sein checked his logs, which stated that the Alethi language had been added to his system earlier today, when he had come out of the portal. So had the Veden, Herdazian, Thaylen, Iriali, and Reshi languages, which corresponded to no group that Sein knew of. Sein and the kid had both been speaking in Alethi the entire time, and he hadn't even realized. His bad feeling got worse. "I'm going to be honest. I came here through a portal and have no idea where it spat me out or in what time period. I don't know what Roshar is or what half the words you're saying mean," he said. He projected an image of a white orb in the void of space, its bottom marred with grey damage marks. His last attempt at something universal. "Does this mean anything to you? The Traveler, the Great Machine, the Gardener? Anything?" @Amethyst Scorpion I don't like either of the main lynches right now. The votes on Penguin (Taladir) are RP and unretracted poke votes, and it's the exact same thing for Zebra (Arauna). That's not worth killing someone over. @Turquoise Gorilla, you got your RP response and Penguin's retracted their vote on you. Will you do the same? @Pearl Chameleon, what about you? I know that Arauna's dating your ex, but that hardly seems worth killing her over. While we're at it, would you two like to provide more thoughts on the game than RP? What do you think of Axolotl's list?

Attempting to guess the distribution of roles in an Anniversary Game is unhelpful. Traditionally, the distributions are trollish and unexpected, and players who try to derive alignment from them always come to the wrong conclusion. If we want to discuss roles on D1, it would be better to discuss what each role ought to do. Many of these roles can be harmful to Odium's Sympathizers, so they might prioritize killing them. In order to avoid this, don't tell other people your role unless you trust them, even if you're a recruit. My suggestions: Windrunner: Protect players who seem likely to be killed. Usually these are people who do good analysis or have important roles. If you have no idea who to protect, you can always protect yourself. Dustbringer: High risk, high reward. Avoid killing players on a light suspicion. If we're near the end of the game, and the number of villagers is low, be even more careful. On the other hand, if a Sympathizer has been evading death for a while, it's better for you to kill them instead of letting the village waste a discussion cycle on lynching them. Also consider players who lurk but post just enough to escape the inactivity filter. Edgedancer: PMs are fun! Please try to stay alive. It's also worth it making your early village have a clue to who you are so you can prove you're an Edgedancer later. Elsecaller: If the Sympathizers come after you, you won't die to their first attack! Be brave with your discussion! Bondsmith: Get ready to keep vote tallies and send orders in as close as you can to rollover. If you live in America or Canada and don't enjoy staying up until 4 AM... good luck. Please try to be responsible with your vote cancel. Willshaper: Same as the Bondsmith. Skybreaker: My suggestion is to confide your results to someone who you've scanned as clear. Take advantage of open PMs to talk with them. You will be a priority target for the Sympathizers, so don't tell your role to uncleared people unless you're ready to die. Lightweaver: If you're village, please don't disguise people who are big targets of discussion and thus are likely to be scanned by a Skybreaker. Worldhopper: See above. New Recruit: Discuss! The vote is your most powerful tool. "You're on Roshar, I think. Though I'm not sure really. Not like we travelled here normal like. What are you? What's a Voidwalker?" Sein's back half spun. "I'm a Ghost. I do reconnaissance and look for someone to choose to be a Guardian. A Voidwalker is a type of Guardian who can throw black holes like bombs! They're really cool. I'd be happy with a Voidwalker as my Guardian." He projected a color map of Sol, with the sun, all the planets from Mercury to Uranus, and the major moons, like Luna, Nessus, and Io. "I don't know where Roshar is. Which of these places are we on?" @Amethyst Scorpion

The person that Sein approached turned and ran. "Voidbringer!" Sein floated after him. "No, no, you have it wrong, I'm just by myself. No Voidwalkers with me. I haven't found my Guardian yet." He blinked in what he hoped was a disarming way. "All I want to know is what planet or moon I'm on, and what the date is." @Amethyst Scorpion

Sein bolted past a wall of metal, screaming as loudly as his speakers would allow. He was a small drone, in the shape of an eight-pointed star. His bright blue eye blinked in his center display, sweeping from left to right. All his sensors were on alert. He strafed left and right through the air, floating above the ground in a zigzag path. Glowing red beams whizzed past him. One of them passed just by him, so close that he felt the air heating around his shell. A moment later, a ball of purple light flew in front of him. Sein dashed backwards, just as it exploded in front of him. A hunk of metal caught in the blast radius vaporized. He screamed louder. He had three Vex goblins and one minotaur on his tail, firing at him. That was a problem. In retrospect, Sein probably shouldn't have tried to get a closer look at the triangular portal they were guarding, even if it was marked as partially under Guardian control. Another barrage of shots. Sein yelped. They were getting closer. He assessed his internal map. No nearby Guardians to save him. Only this stupid portal structure that he'd been running around for minutes, broadcasting cries for help. He couldn't keep dodging the Vex. Eventually they would kill him. Or, worse, infect him. Whatever was in the portal couldn't be worse than being converted by these Vex. Sein veered left, towards the blue portal in the middle. A red beam passed just under him, so close that he felt the heat emanating off of it. And so he sank into the portal, screaming. Sein tumbled out of the portal into a chamber of brown stone. A moment later, the portal closed with a wet-sounding ploop. Hopefully the Vex wouldn't follow. "Whew! That was close!" Sein closed his eye in relief. Now, all he had to do was figure out when and where he was. He assessed the networks around him and...No radio broadcasts. No internet. Not even a single GPS satellite. Sein floated on to the next room, hoping that he'd get a better signal there. Still nothing. And so he floated on to the next room. This one still had no signal, but it had a lot of people. Sein rose up to eye level with one of them and said, "Excuse me, could you tell me what planet or moon this is? And the date?" Anyone want to help a poor, lost Ghost who got himself lost in the wrong universe?

I also offer the same apology. Especially if Mouse is evil, and co-conspiring with Melon, but I too will switch, as it makes sense to me the reason that Melon provided, and someone else said that they didn't have an elim read on Melon. Mouse Albatross.- 188 replies

Emerald Falcon replied to Elandera's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Well, There's 30 minutes left. I'll be back to check in about 15 minutes, but can't guarantee I'll be on after that. This means my vote may most likely stay on Azure. Edit: I reread this and it said 4 minutes when it was supposed to show 40. Now it's down to 30. I also didn't notice the second page. If I'm not mistaken, it's 3 for Azure right now, and one for albatross? Is that right?- 188 replies

Mid-Range Game 37/Anonymous Game 6: An Empire is Falling
Emerald Falcon replied to Elandera's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Essentially yes. I figured it would be more likely that an Elim would have a role that allows their own vote to be removed or secretly redirected than it would be for a villager to have such a role. It appeared as if Mauve had such a role. I think because at the time, we had a PM open, and I don't believe they had any additional PMs. Alright everyone, at this point, we have 7 players down, and 3 votes. They're all for azure mouse. We've only heard from some of the players this cycle, so it's entirely possible that some of the players we've heard from are eliminators. If that's the case, and Azure is village, then we've let the Elims have a clean Elim Sweep. If Azure is Elim, then we are still at lylo, so I don't really think that the Elims are that worried. @Cream Tuatara You expressed a hesitance to keep your vote on Azure, Who else would you be willing to vote for? @Azure Mouse If you are village, who would you vote for? Just based on chance, there's a 4/7 chance you're village. But since you're one of the characters that everyone who has spoken up has been willing to lynch, I think there's a better than even chance you're eliminator, as so far, no one has had sufficient reason to give you a personal clear.- 188 replies

Mid-Range Game 37/Anonymous Game 6: An Empire is Falling
Emerald Falcon replied to Elandera's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Because it had happened twice on a person Mauve had voted on, I thought it was more likely that Mauve was cancelling his vote in some way or another. It could have been a simple remove, or he may have been able to place a hidden vote. Knowing that we had failed to lynch an Elim so far, I thought that it was a decent possibility that there was vote manipulation on the elim team, and this seemed to be a likely candidate.- 188 replies

Mid-Range Game 37/Anonymous Game 6: An Empire is Falling
Emerald Falcon replied to Elandera's topic in Sanderson Elimination
I am not a Rememberer! I am a Bloodsealer in the Heritage faction. I am able to make a skeletal each turn. I can sacrifice a skeletal to roleblock a player. I can confirm that the items that I picked up are just for flavor. They have no use to anyone. Elandera was only trying to help a sad, roleless player enjoy themselves. Ok, so at this point, we are likely 4-3. That means that there are likely three people who are willing to vote together, as long as one of the remaining four does not vote on an elim. Also, all of the remaining 4 must vote together to stop an elim hammer. I'm willing to believe Swan's claim, and I have put Tuatara as village as well. If those two trust each other. That leaves me with the options of Mouse, Weasel, Albatross, and Dingo. If I'm right about Tuatara and Swan, then three of those four are Elim. If we can get one person as an elim that most of us agree on, that would be the person to vote for. Until I can perform further analysis, I would be willing to vote for any of those four.- 188 replies

Emerald Falcon replied to Elandera's topic in Sanderson Elimination
I'm sorry. I know you're defending me here, which I appreciate. I just don't follow the logic. I don't know why the elims would want me dead, except for the fact that I've publicly claimed that I might have items. Up to this point, I'm pretty sure everyone I voted for has ended up village. If that were the case, I imagine the elims would want to kill me in order to collect those items. (I don't even know if the items have any use, I'll remind you.) I also don't know any village soother, so I don't know why one would choose to protect me, unless they for some reason trust me.- 188 replies

Mid-Range Game 37/Anonymous Game 6: An Empire is Falling
Emerald Falcon replied to Elandera's topic in Sanderson Elimination
I'm afraid that this game is on it's way to fizzling out, before any major secrets get revealed. We're what? Halfway through this cycle. So I'll continue the math from mouse, but with 15 players. We'll assume 3 elims, ignoring the possibility for a neutral or independent third party. My math will be based of the results at the end of the day Worst Case Scenario. Italics already happened. D1 10-3 (Kill, Mislynch) D2 8-3 (K, M) D3 6-3 (K, M) D4 4-3 (l, M)(LyLo) D5 3-2 (K, L) (LyLo At worst, we have one cycle before we are in dire Lylo situations But if we assume we hit an elim this cycle, then miss D4 5-2 (K, L) D5 3-2 (K,M) (LyLo) Either way, with a single mislynch, and a single accurate lynch, we are at lylo by D5 at this point. At this point, we have 9 players left, so we can assume 1/3 are elim. There isn't much to look into as we don't have anything except village lynches so far, but I'll look at voting history. ED1T Azure Mouse-1 vote against him cycle one. Voted on Magenta albatross C1, No vote C2, No Vote C3 Slight Elim read Coral Swan- No final vote against them, Voted C1, and C2. No vote C3. The weekend snuck up on me, so it could have snuck up on them as well, to be the reason for a missed vote. I see someone who is contributing even when they don't need to as slight village. Cream Tuatara- No final vote against them, but voted all three cycles. This could also be slight Village for same reasons as above Emerald Falcon- I know I look elim to quite a some people, because I made a mistake regarding looking closely at what happened D2 before my D3 vote. But the elims know I'm not elim, so they would be trying to use this. Indigo Weasel- This isn't exactly vote analysis, but I've had a PM with them and told them that I have an Item, and nothing has happened. So if they are an elim, then they do not seem to want to be collecting works of art. Ivory Dragonfly- I don't see any votes against them or any final votes that stuck from them. Upon further review, It doesn't look like they've voted at all, despite having close to average (But slightly below) activity. This seems rather suspicious to me. Magenta Albatross- 1 vote D1, which appears to have been a poke vote. They have one vote d2, and no posts after asking a question to the person they voted on. I'm gonna give it slight village. Mauve Crocodile- two of the three times they've voted, it's been silently removed. One was against Mint Heron, who we know was village, and killed the same cycle as the vote. The other was against me. This seems rather elimey to me. Melon Dingo-Asked what happened on a tie. No vote D1, a vote D2 and D3. Most suspicious to me is the question asking what happens in a tie. But that would only be if they had to worry about saving their teammate. The only remaining people from D1 that could be is Azure or Magenta. Both of them I've read as village for now. Anyways In other news, I have two Items that I randomly picked up. (Which I just tried to do because I had no role) Then, last cycle I forgot to submit an action. They both have no use to me, so that make them similar to the piece of art someone had D1. If anyone wants them, please reach out to me through PM. And please, dissect my analysis, so I can answer your questions. There's hopefully plenty of info right now if we work together. Anyway, my vote is for Mauve Crocodile now.- 188 replies

I kindof agree with this. I wanna lynch someone who voted on scorpion, as I feel like it was an attempt by the elims to make it look like they were saving me to make me look like an elim. But I'm not an elim, so that didnt work. Either that or they were trying to save chartreuse penguin.- 188 replies

I attempted to forge myself into a new person. It didn't work, because I didn't have a soulstamp. It could be possible to soulstamp art, but as far as I know, it has no use. There is also supposedly no way for me to obtain soulsamps. I've got something that might be art, that I'd be willing to pass to someone to try to soul stamp if you have a soulstamp. PM me to discuss the matter.- 188 replies

Mid-Range Game 37/Anonymous Game 6: An Empire is Falling
Emerald Falcon replied to Elandera's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Hmm. It seems we are on our way toward Lylo, or worse, a perfect elim game. If the rememberer can create art, then we know that there must be some use to the art. It has no use, meaning it has no abilities. But perhaps if a person or group collects enough, then they win? This brings up the question if there are more rememberers, or if there's other ways to pick up the art, or if there's a way to activate their uses. I'll try to have time to at least perform a rudimentary analysis at some point in this cycle, but no promises.- 188 replies

Oh, well. There's votes against me. That's interesting. Well. I honestly just removed my vote because I didn't know what to do, and Because I didn't know enough about the mechanics of the game. Anyway, I don't have any role, and I actually attempted to pick up a random item last night, just to see what would happen. This cycle I submitted an action to forge myself into a new person, but I was nearly immediately told that because I didn't have a soulstamp, I couldn't do that. I then asked if there was a way for me to obtain a soulstamp, and the answer was no.- 188 replies

Guys, I've been thinking. I know nothing almost nothing about the rules. I don't feel comfortable voting for people yet this cycle, because I don't know if the consequences will even be normal. Mint Heron. Also, @ing people to tag them won't work to spark their inactivity because if they're inactive on their own account, they will definitely be inactive on their anonymous account.- 188 replies
