    Ialai avoided eye contact with the two. “Wit, as usual, is creating trouble. I’ve seen others making plans, moving about, but nothing public so far. The first hour was surprisingly uneventful, actually. No doubt people will soon begin to make their moves.” She took another mouthful of wine, and then put the cup aside. Yes, that was definitely more intoxicating than usual. No doubt Wit had spiked it with something, somehow, thus contributing to the drunken furore that was currently occurring.

    "I am indeed, my husband. The night has been eventful so far. The parshmen are a very... interesting people." Drum music pounded throughout the hall. Ialai didn't like it, personally, but between the wine and the stress of ruining a burgeoning treaty, no one had wanted to tell them that they were darkeyed instruments. "What do you think of these Parshendi, Torol? I haven't been able to talk to any of them, as of yet, but they seem to have their own goals in mind." She paced a piece of food in her mouth, enjoying the taste.

    Ialai stood among the tables, watching the scene. She smiled slightly as Adolin tried to dance with one of the Parshendi. A real charmer, that one. Within a few years, she had no doubt there would be a crowd of eligible partners going after him. Speaking of which. Ialai made her way carefully over to where Torol was sitting, eating a meal. He seemed to not want to be disturbed, so she instead grabbed a passing platter of fruit and began to pick at it, waiting for him to respond.

    "There are a surprising number of foreigners here." Ialai's gaze wandered over to the man with the crescent scar, the several Parshendi, and several other delegates mingling throughout the room. "This event has managed to attract a large number of people. I wonder why they are all here? Perhaps they are all clamoring to see a thinking, talking parshman, or to celebrate this momentous occasion." "In any case," she said, "it was a pleasure to meet you on this evening. Thank you, Aesudan." With that, she began to move away.

    "Yes, it seems to have done. I feel this day will be marked in history. King Gavilar's enthusiasm with making accommodations with these people is certainly remarkable. Almost laudable. He ignored advice to invade, and made this landmark achievement instead." Ialai punctuated her sentence with a dramatic wine sip.

    Ialai noted her expression towards the parshman and smiled. "They are somewhat of a paradox, are they not? I am not sure what to make of them, and I have yet to speak with one. Others tell me that they are surprisingly civilised, if ignorant of Vorinism. I am sure many throughout the palace would be addressing them incorrectly by mistake."

    Ialai smiled, and took a sip of her wine. It seemed... stronger than usual. “I am well, thank you, @SE_Aesudan_Kholin. It is nice to be here, and we are surrounded by allies. How are you and your husband enjoying the evening?”

    Ialai caught his glance and frowned. These clothes are in style, insufferable man. But it was the nature of this Wit to make all sorts of comments, even those that were clearly incorrect. She stilled herself, preventing a comment. She had been too antagonistic, placing distrust in the wrong people. And perhaps even Wit could be a valuable ally.

    Ialai nodded at the words, choosing to silence her tongue. There would be time enough for political maneuvering later. For now, she shot a disgruntled glare at the man who had nominated Jasnah - someone dared try to ostracize a Brightlady? - and selected a cup of auburn wine from a passing platter.

    Ialai smiled. “Perhaps it is indicative of those who blaspheme to also predict the future, which we all know is a trait of the Voidbringers. I should hope, Brightness, that you steer well clear of such actions, no matter how heretical you become.”
  12. Emerald Falcon
    “It is natural for someone to receive their parent’s traits,” continued Ialai. “A delight to see you, Brightness Navani. Let us hope Brightness Jasnah received her father’s wisdom and strength alongside her...” She paused. “Other values.”
  13. Emerald Falcon
    “We were all surprised by Jasnah’s decision, Meridas.” Ialai pursed her lips. Surprised and troubled. “But we must deal with the consequences. With time, perhaps she can realise her mistake and return to Vorinism.” Not that that was likely. Knowing Jasnah, she’d probably hold to her beliefs even if the Almighty himself appeared in front of her.

    Ialai watched Wit leave, and smiled. He seemed to have not noticed her presence, and thus no Witlike comments about her would be made. “Finally. We can have some intelligent conversation.”
  15. Emerald Falcon
    Ialai walked closely behind her husband for a time, doing her best to ignore Wit while observing the room. Already the vultures of politics had descended. Squawking and squabbling. She supposed that she couldn’t complain too much - after all, wasn’t she one of the vultures herself? The only difference between them was their careful alliance with the King. But these vultures were armed with weapons, and although the cries of dissent against Gavilar had been silenced temporarily, Ialai had no doubt what would happen if the worst came to worst. Already, she could picture her network of spies, whispering about a rebellion. All these vultures would tear Alethkar apart, fighting for a single scrap of its legacy, if given the chance. The only possible exception was Wit, but that was mainly because she was sure someone would have had him killed by then.

    silence is fun! It just builds the lynch even against me even greater! Plus not answering anyone’s questions just adds to the chaos! I’m bored. Time to speculate. (We all know how that went last time) The Elim team is probably 3 people. A scanner, a Kandra, and an assasin. The scanner to find informants, the assasin to kill them, and finally the Kandra to replace them. Since no one on that team is dead, that leaves us with 8 other people excluding me. Assuming we have some kind of neutral faction, with most likely 2 people, that leaves us with 6 people. 2 are likely those informants, assuming as before that they’re a spectate village faction, and 4 are just vanilla refugees. This is probably my last post of the game, just wanted to say this has been way fun.

    What I would do in your place

    Both wouldn’t want to kill me, it’s an or, not an and. One of them (the elims or the village) would definitely want to kill me, if my speculation is correct.
  20. Emerald Falcon
    My problem is that the second I give any true hint to my faction, I’m dead. No matter what. Whether it’s by elims or the lynch, I’m not going to say. So that’s why I’m playing my role so close to the chest. This is sound logic. I have just one response. I’m not neutral. Sigh, I know responding to this one is just digging my hole deeper, but... I wrote that post before I saw the write up, so I wasn’t sure if the kill was a result of the monster. Also, this blackout game was built to try out at least 1 new mechanic, why not more.

    Yeah, I’m not a refugee There would be no reason to screw myself if I was an elim, so I just sort of figured I’d go ahead and post what I thought anyway. I definitely think there are better people to lynch then me (dingo for one). Also when I meant survive I meant eliminate the elim faction (and maybe the hemalurgic monster). So yeah! I don’t really want to share my role, and so I’m not going to. For now
  23. Emerald Falcon
    Really good write up, I will definitely be checking out that poem.
  24. Emerald Falcon
    Yeah I probably deserve that read. I was tired, and thought I had read the entire thread, so I think I missed some stuff about the end of the cycle. Don’t worry, I won’t forget about you again. Now it’s time to talk some game mechanics. So we know from the above right up that there are at least two “village” factions. The refugees, which I’m going to assume are just vanilla villagers, and the fleeing informants, who probabaly have a different win con, and potentially special powers. From this slip up: We know that there’s a 3rd non-elim faction, as it’s very unlikely an elim would make a mistake like that. Whether or not this is the Kandra is debatable, but my gut says no. The fact that the captain was attacked savagely seems to imply some kind of hemalurgic monster or Koloss. And finally we can assume there’s an elim team because of the kill last night. So now that we have our factions laid out, let’s guess the actual win cons. The fact that the informant roll has the prefix fleeing implies they’re running from something, and the name informant means they know something. Because of this I find it unlikely that the they are being chased by the hemalurgic monster/koloss/Kandra. Instead remember the title of the sign up thread? Scadrain black ops team. My guess is that the elim team is a black ops group trying to kill the informants who know too much. They are experts of disguise and hidden assasination (the role swap mechanic, the person who “dies” is an the account of an elim, while they actually switched with someone else). I’m guessing the hemalurgic monster/koloss is trying to either reach a certain number of kills before getting killed themselves, or kill the black ops team who work for the mega company that created them (the monster). So win cons here: refugees:survive Informants:escape? or lynch the black ops team/threats to their escape Black ops team:kill the informants hemalurgic monster:kill a certain number of people. I’ll do an actual analysis post later, but I’d thought I’d share these thoughts now.

    Ok, at this point magenta is seeming super suspicious. The way their interactions with amber vulture just seems super scripted, and they’re responses are very aggressive.
