((OOC: TBF there were a bunch of two-vote trains so I could have been saving one of them instead. I didn't, but it does have me looking at Flamingo a bit))
-
((OOC: Sadly it's 6:30 and I just got to work so will have get back to you on this in the evening. I intend to do a full readthrough of C1 in 1 sitting to see what I can glean.))

((OOC: Whoops. My bad y'all. I showed up 8 minutes to EoD and had to power skim, which turned out to be the opposite of powerful. I completely missed Dragonfly's big read list (which in retrospect looks village enough that I would have voted elsewhere). Mostly I just saw the vote shifts to Penguin and Flamingo and responded as a counterweight without actual looking at a VC, but obviously I chose wrong and understand the suspicion. Suuuper unlucky tbh, but I suppose God works in mysterious ways.)) ((Lurking? I just woke up m8)) ((Mostly I remembered Falcon had suspicion of Dragonfly in a PM and I thought he was still voting him, so I decided to sheep it. But then I wake up today and someone else pointed out Falc switched to Penguin, so now I'm just embarrassed That and Mouse implied Penguin was a reincarnated Dingo w/ a meme and I didn't want to C1 Ash, which is ironic because Mouse was also voting Penguin and Mouse is also someone I felt comfortable sheeping. If I'd not made those mistakes re:Dragonfly, then I'd have probably voted Hyena instead of Flamingo, mostly because I had a really early negative gut read of you, @Pearl Chameleon, and didn't want to follow your push))

Would RP but there doesn't appear to be enough time. Think I'll condemn Dragonfly over Penguin. Hyena could go I guess. I'm iffy on Flamingo.

The man formerly known as Nuen was no saint. Granted, skaa rarely experienced opportunities to prove their inherent virtuosity, but there was no doubt in his mind that Nuen had sinned more than the rest of them. He was the worst of the worst, and when he died, it had been well-deserved. Then he met God, for a reason that Endsayer still could not fathom, he’d been granted a second life. A true chance at redemption. And it all lead to Tyrian Falls. Of course, Endsayer arrived late to the metaphorical party. In truth, he was exactly on time, but that was not how the local residents would perceive it. He’d traveled a long way to be here today, and his haggard vestments proved the harrows of his lone trek. Despite the claw-shaped rips across his torso and the bloodied ribbons of the once-white cloth, his exposed skin was unscarred and clean. His blunt face as bald and smooth as the rest of him, his eyes no less hard and dark as obsidian in stark contrast to his wide ivory smile. ”Greetings, Chosen Denizens of Tyrian Falls. You blessed few who are destined to preserve our world—or ruin it, should you fail. I have been sent by God to assist in this endeavor. I don’t mind if you don’t believe me, but now that I’m here, I see no harm in being allowed to participate in these proceedings. So tell me. Who are the current leading suspects and what evidence do you have?”

[OOC: Hi. I probably could have gotten on during the night, but I thought it would probably make a more effective case for my innocence if I didn't. Good to see it paid off and didn't get the inactives framed as I was kind of expecting, honestly. Speaking of, why wouldn't the last elim, who is apparently active, just not kill to make the village spend at least one vote on me or Toucan? Given that Scorpion submitted the kill instead of protecting themself apparently as a way to frame an inactive as a teammate, why wouldn't the last elim, Elephant or otherwise, maintain this illusion? In essence, it's narrowed down to Elephant, Chameleon, Falcon. Even in the worst case, I think we pull ahead. There's 7 players left, and 3 suspects. For Falcon, I'm not sure this is enough to just write them off. I (accidentally) started the Falcon train with 90 minutes to rollover. If Falcon is evil, the only elim who spoke after that time was Scorpion, who already was voting Heron. There's not much more they can do about that. Also, I am a Soother, but the only vote I ever Soothed was Flamingo's D3 vote because when I was logging off, it was tied between Flamingo and Chameleon, so there is some unaccounted vote manip running around right now. Honestly, a point could be made for mass claiming at this point. I'd be willing to vote off Elephant off now and have Swan shoot Falcon in the night, or the other way around, and if that doesn't work, we can kill Chameleon.]

[OOC: Hey, my internet's been out for a bit. Still is, actually, I'm doing this from my phone. I probably won't be able to muster up the willpower to do heavy analysis on mobile, so I just wanted to say that I think the Albatross thing was bait. The only one poking at Albatross for reads was Crocodile, not exactly "the elim team".]
-
[OOC: Hi. I woke up and couldn't fall back asleep, so you get a quick response to this bit I just saw. You do realize that if Flamingo is evil, they're probably lying, right? Like, I get what you're saying, but there's always the possibility that Flamingo burned through their extra life on N3, or even that Flamingo is the second Lurcher/Mistborn. Village Flamingo who burned through their extra life N2 is a nice sounding story, but it's just that. A story. Its veracity can only be proven by death, and we'll find out soon. Ok, I'm going to try sleep again. See if it works this time.]
-
[OOC: I don't really have time to be doing thoughts but KRIIIIIIIIIIFF AAAAAACK WHAT IS THIS MADNESS and also it's possible Flamingo was Lurched the first time, lost their Thug life the second time, and was Lurched again. Or they just have a Lurcher and a Mistborn. Or, dreaded be, they have two Lurchers. I'm not sure about that last possibility, but yeah. Flamingo]

[OOC: Hi. Can't stay long. Sorry again. Quick summary of all of Crocodile's posts: D1: Pokes Tuatara, banter, votes Rhino for a one word entrance, banter, jokes, votes Mouse for deflection and argues in favour of the PM everyone crowd being village (!) using weak evidence, accepts critique of stated stance while still asserting at most one evil in the PM everyone crowd (!), votes Kangaroo for popping in just before rollover Thoughts: The most eye-catching thing is how they really defended the PM everyone crowd. As a member of the PM everyone crowd (though I've been slacking a bit on that front, sorry), I'm hesitant to decry all of us as spike-stabbing fiends, but let's keep an eye on <me, Chameleon, Hyena>. N1: Asks Lion about Dingo, meta discussion Thoughts: It was really bold of them to ask Lion the thoughts on the person they would kill. D2: Suggests elims forgot kills are differentiated, evil list which I'll be poking at in the paragraph below, jumps on the Heron train because they think Mouse and Heron are teamed, argues for the Mouse Heron team and argues against the Falcon train (!) It's hard to know how much of this is trying to throw us off and how much is trying to seem genuine, but of their reads on confirmed villagers, I find their Tuatara read here notable: suspicion for attacking the PM everyone crowd (!). Other notable thing: While they shaded me and Chameleon for PMing everyone, they didn't shade Hyena for that (!). Instead, they shaded Hyena for... arguing that the PM everyone crowd has evil in it. They also shaded Falcon for arguing that the PM everyone crowd doesn't have that much evil in it (!), a stance they appear to agree with on some level. I don't have too much time, so I'll just quote this: Bold mine. Thoughts: I know the new Hyena just showed, but I must say that connections-wise, it's not looking amazing for them. N2: Ponders vote manip, notes about vote manip Thoughts: None, really. D3: Talks about the evil Tineye (ah yes, very funny), wants to clear Flamingo's defender (by the way, I've already considered it about as close to confirmed as we can get without murder that there's an elim Lurcher, so...) (!) and votes Swan, didn't read RP (is their note about elims forgetting kills are differentiated because they keep forgetting it?), votes Weasel to provoke game thoughts and clears Mouse and Toucan for the Rhino votes which is weird considering their earlier Mouse thoughts, argues against Flamingo's exe for living (!), argues that voting Flamingo for being recalcitrant with their role is unproductive (!) and starts Lion as a countertrain, asks Elephant something Thoughts: I'm feeling a lot worse about Flamingo, so I'm really hoping the second survival was the Lurch and not the first one so they actually die this time. Third time's the charm, right? Right? N3: Shades Weasel, elaborates on Weasel shade Thoughts: I think Weasel is village. D4: Votes Flamingo, argues against evil Coinshot, new Tineye, reacts to the exe by pretending it's a reaction test they weren't told about Thoughts: They might have been setting up Flamingo as a bus. So, yeah. Nothing really new. I do fully support Coinshotting Flamingo, though if any Mistborns rolled Steel, Hyena's looking like a decent target as well (sorry). I'll be off now. See you tomorrow.]

[OOC: Hi. I haven't been very active. Sorry. I hope to crawl my way out of inactivity, but not right now. Crocodile. I'll actually be online for the night, so here's hoping all goes well.]

[OOC: I keep hoping I'll have the time and spoons for solid RP, but nope. Life strikes again. Let's run through what I missed. Whyyyyyyyyyyyy did so many people hop on Falcon with me? It was vanity at best and somehow became the second-biggest train? Like, what? Speaking of, it feels like the Falcon vote was solidly dropped. So, the live trains right now seem to be Lion, Flamingo, Chameleon. Flamingo's case is that they lived and haven't shared anything. I see this in two frames: 1. They're evil and expect vote manip to carry them through. 2. They're village and consider the odds of getting voted off right now to be less than the odds of them getting murdered if they share what they are. I do not see why a player would consign themself to death rather than share, particularly since it would strongly benefit evil Flamingo to falsely claim Thug. Nothing to prove in that case. For that matter, there could be benefits to village Flamingo falsely claiming Thug. It'd get us to back off a little, for one thing. Lion's case is that they aren't doing anything, which is fair. Chameleon's case amounts to much of the same, with the caveat that they apparently resurrected under crossfire. I'd actually consider Chameleon putting in the effort a slight mark in their favor, in that it will be easier to work with them than with a Lion that presumably does not act similarly and maintains a level of silence. I can see the merits of Flamingo, but I also don't understand why evil Flamingo wouldn't just claim Thug. I'm not sure the case study of MR56 entirely applies. That appears to have been blackout, and there's no structure of truth to fall back on to create a feasible lie. I've read through things again. Summary of each player by what I've seen. Lion: At some insistence D2, they did start talking more, but I don't think they've expressed much of anything. The most effort they've put into the game was a play-by-play of posts D1 with no actually commentary, just what happened. Chameleon: While I'd like to see more, they've actually had opinions. They've been voting. They've been trying to stay present, as far as I can tell. I would prefer them stay alive than Lion. Flamingo: All they've done is live, and I mean that. A bit like Lion, but with a little more verbosity and less apparent effort. I think Lion, mostly because of how much effort they've put into not having any opinions at all. I have to go now. I'll see you on the other side.]

[OOC: Hi. Sorry for disappearing. I will likely continue to disappear for a little bit due to a combination of some sudden real life issues and my mind deciding to give out on me. I can't muster up the tonal inclinations required for Koros to be done properly, so you just get me. I feel like I'm lost already, and that's mostly my fault. See apology. Luckily, the game's been fairly terse so far. Let's go page by page D1 Page 1: Mostly RP, poke/joke votes, and frivolity. A fun read, though. Page 2: The only notable thing in my opinion is Elephant spontaneously busting out Smoker advice. Not the advice itself, but the way it's framed. Might just be in my head. Page 3: Falcon frames points in very strict terms without much to back it. Particularly the Tuatara read. Also their "point 4", which seems to be attacking Dragonfly for not moving a poke vote despite the victim not satisfying the conditions for release, particularly when the individual seems tonally at odds with this narrative. Heron frames things oddly. It does feel less evil framing and more 'trying to seem like a good villager' framing. Maybe I have too high of a bar for evil players. Tangent: RIP Dingo, a blasé player with cool RP. I liked talking about glassware with you. Meerkat has a tone that instinctively makes me look twice, but that might just be anonymity at work. Or the use of the word "gosh". Page 4: I did enjoy Albatross 1.0's forthright-ness. I strongly dislike Dragonfly's last-minute vote but struggle to understand why evil would act in such a manner when a low-temperature cycle implies a lack of necessity. N1 Page 1: I'm going to slide past the meta discussion and note the second instance of Elephant giving spontaneous advice. Page 2: See above (excluding the Elephant bit). D2 Page 1: The Tineye messages are 1. a humorous aside about our status as animals and emotional Allomancy, 2. a note of existence, and 3. an interesting philosophical editorial. Page 2: For some reason, my eye is caught by Penguin's lambasting of Shard mobile. Possibly because of the exclamation points. The Heron votes are framed in a very static way considering the singular point. I somewhat agree on the Falcon point in that I cannot comfortably village read them. Page 3: I do not understand Crocodile's point about a Mouse Heron team. And now the time comes to use these limited and likely somewhat erroneous conclusions to vote. I am tentatively shelving Weasel because I cannot imagine a world where Weasel has teammates and they don't tell them to tone it down after the spew of meta discussion. I don't like the Flamingo vote. I can somewhat understand the Rhino vote but do not enjoy it. So the question is whether I think Heron is a player subject to suboptimal and perhaps panicky phrasing. My instincts say no. My instincts say that evil Heron would not couch such a vote in hesitance. This might amount to nothing more than protest, but Falcon. I have to go now. I'll see you on the other side.]

Not many people stayed in Tyrian Falls. Not anymore. About a year ago, the place survived a koloss attack. The same old story, Spiked infiltrate the town, hit more established residents, and lie low while getting the numbers to send invasion forces. But unlike most towns, Tyrian Falls survived. It was a close thing, but they lived. There were floods of migrants after that, seeking a safe place. Same old story. Spiked infiltrators. By the Agency’s count, they’d been within town limits for about half a year. But Koros wasn’t here for the Spiked or the town or the people. He was here for something a bit more personal than all that. Two years ago, his partner left the Agency. It was an amiable enough separation, with a decent severance package and the promise of future contracts. He’d even agreed to visit his partner’s family after they’d settled in. The Agency said he’d get a new partner within a month. He never got that new partner. Turns out, his partner never had a family. They’d been playing the long con, infiltrating the Agency just far enough to control data intake. His partner had been the Agency’s best, known for their ability to reach into a mess of conflicting answers and extract cohesion. They’d been cultivating the facts for years. The Agency was running blind now, with nearly a decade of tainted data to sort through and his partner’s real agency on the horizon. They needed answers. They needed Morrow. Somehow, the Agency had tracked Morrow to Tyrian Falls. Within the last three waves of migration, they said. Semi-established resident. Should be simple. It wasn’t simple. Morrow was a master of disguise and deception. It had served them well in the Agency. It served them well now, when Koros was trying to isolate a vein of gold in a lump of pyrite. They wouldn’t be one of the kids, too tall for that, but beyond that, they could be anyone at all. Still, some things couldn’t be changed so easily. Footsteps, posture, eye color, hands. If he could just get each of them alone, he’d be able to tell. [OOC: If you don’t get a PM from me, let me know.] The file was short. A range of dates, a location, and a warning. They needed Morrow alive. Failure would not be tolerated. Koros had to stifle a laugh. Empty threats from a crumbling organization. They wouldn’t kill him, not when they needed as many eyes as they could to sort through the contaminated data. Sure, they’d be furious if he killed Morrow, but he’d live. He wasn’t planning on killing Morrow, but if needs must… The town wasn’t far. He came with the latest set of travellers, wearing his story like a coat. Labourer, fallen on hard times, looking for somewhere new. An easy narrative. A simple narrative. One that gave him an excuse to be talking to everyone. Asking about job prospects, fishing for information about other residents in the meantime. The place was tense. Cold. People looked at the new residents with harsh eyes and cold shoulders. Half-completed buildings were scattered throughout. Maybe the interrogations would be a little more difficult than anticipated. Oh well. Nothing left for it but to dive on in.

I am not a second kandra. I have three teammates other than myself. Not all of them are kandra. I said I would answer truthfully within reason, silly! That said, Amethyst Scorpion is not currently on my team. My appeal to any coinshots out there is that they aren't real and can't hurt me. (There is no coinshot.) Salmon! Uhhh I wouldn't say I'm very good at RP But for what it's worth I would say experiment! And mostly just keep writing if you can.
-
"Guys, I can explain! Please!! It's all a setup!!" Cody eyes the other Mistrunners, visibly nervous. This isn't what was supposed to happen. Albatross was supposed to be an escaped experiment, not just some Mistrunner! Why would another Mistrunner demand to know who the source of the intel was? Why would that source of intel lie? Nothing added up. He reaches for his pistols, only to remember that they've been confiscated. He checks his timepiece and-- what do you know? it's openwolf o'clock In an epic and astonishing plot twist, I am the escaped SynthKandra you are looking for. hi There is, unfortunately, no possibility of me not killing and replacing one of you tonight. But we have some time to chat and make nice before that happens. The floor is now open to any questions you may (or may not) have. Within reason, I may even try to answer them honestly.
-
Well, maybe. You would know I guess!
-
I think I might know a legitimate technique to make people less likely to convert you, although it is not flawless: posting frequently enough that your time zone isn't very hard to guess. I don't think there is any perfect way to counter conversion.
-
I thought the sharpshooter would be a guaranteed kill if Scorp was lying, ok? Assuming there's a sharpshooter. But how would the elims know if there wasn't a sharpshooter? I didn't think there was much reason to disbelieve it. Sharpshooter if you are real this is in your hands I think. If Scorp is the role that gives you an extra life than that would be bad and there's probably nothing we can do! Otherwise, it's apparently a 50% chance to keep a kandra pinned down, which, well, that's better than nothing but it depends on you getting the right target.
-
Well, that's not supposed to happen!! I think this means that my top secret contact is not very nice so I will just reveal that it was Scorpion.
-
Well we had a pretty long PM conversation, and they said they village read me, but idk other than that! They haven't explained why Albatross. Maybe because they wanted somebody who wouldn't get kandra'd? That's my best guess.
-
"Well, that's an interesting point! I'm not sure I get it 100%, but I think they were worried Albatross might get away."
