Salmon Meerkat

he did not know whether there were answers to be had, not now, not soon, not ever but Warmmha was saying, you have to stop them, you know and wasn’t it worrying when God sounded casual, or even concerned, or as though He was commenting about the weather when what he really meant was that something had to be done about the rot eating away at the heart of Tyrian Falls like the rotten core of an apple and Kellehrt didn’t know didn’t know if they were to be found or how to find them, didn’t know if their evil showed, the way his father’s evil had not, not until it was too late, not until the midnight hours of self-flagellation in Luthadel where he asked himself if he should have known where the wayward glances of Tyrian Falls then asked how could they have not known and he wondered sometimes if it was that which killed his mother being asked to answer for the unanswerable, to account for the unaccountable to bear the unbearable because his father certainly wasn’t able to bear it though in Kellehrt’s mind even now as ever he stood there, distant, unflappable as though none of the insults and scorn heaped upon them mattered and what he did was wrong, Warmmha says, and Kellehrt knows that, knows that to his marrow and tainted bones but it feels a little better, the lifting of a pall at dusk, to hear God himself damn his father as though it were not Kellehrt’s place to damn him as though the damnation of a God is easier to bear than the damnation of men and all of that doesn’t matter as he walks through the silent streets of Tyrian Falls and marks the silence and wonders if silence hides evil or lurking death Wark had talked about this, once, when the watch in Luthadel had brought in a child-killer pleasant as you please, Wark said, calmly, peeling at the wood he was whittling with his knife shavings curling to the floor golden-brown as though he was cutting an apple, removing the bitter skin as though he was talking about the commonplace and not the Luthadel Cutter you really wouldn’t have known, he added, that he was capable of this sort of thing three families murdered in their sleep and a young girl’s throat cut in an Ironside smile and Kellehrt didn’t understand how you took in that kind of darkness and talked about it (Warmmha forbid) as though it was commonplace and quite ordinary as though it was the grey of thunder, the morning light the crackling of the fire as he shed his boots before bed maybe evil lurked about them in the villagefolk calling out denunications maybe it lurked in the silent Kellehrt wasn’t sure yet though he had his own misgivings and really they needed to see who leaped to whose defence, who spoke to whom, and all of that Warmmha never set easy tasks but God never did, you never asked God why, or complained, He made sure you were equal to the burden so he told himself those sleepless nights in Luthadel and again, on returning to Tyrian Falls where that old sin was buried though some whispered of it still, memory running deeper than old roots in Tyrian Falls untouched by time where some mornings you could believe, stepping out through your front door and past the raised wood of your doorstep that you were back where it all began § Chameleon, Amber Vulture, more to say have you? i seen you

sweet warmmha's mandibles i swear i legit thought swan had voted chameleon and was going 'this is a 4 vote train and this isn't even the 24 hour mark is this too easy is this patji all over again' but ur right swan didn't so that's three votes huh geuss ur not the only one with messed up votecounts fierfek

really? because i can name you first votes that aren't banal or reaching: games where people argued a player elim-slipped (illwei's first game iirc) which was not a banal claim and could have been true but was ultimately shown to be false, games where players did something kayana like claiming d1 seeker and got voted for it (eol)... the point is that it is not just banal, if u want me to be sharper about my accusation, i dislike your vote because it is based on something NAI and bad reasoning ("the past will be a good guide to the present" is arguably not necessarily bad reasoning either given the GMs here churned the distro for LG74, though i don't suppose Iguana knew that, even if it's not a line of reasoning i think is productive) - but the point is that bad reasoning doesn't necessarily make someone an elim villagers too are capable of bad reasoning or bad play just look at mat's tunnelling or that azbantium-grade tunnel szeth constructed on archer and szeth insisting on reasoning by role distro in mat's game fwiw szeth was in fact contextually right that all villagers were thugs but that's besides the point the point is that first, the reasoning u cite is trivially true, and second, not only is it trivially true, but if it were not trivially true, u are voting a player for bad reasoning and without the commonsense check if bad reasoning makes them elim and that's sus to me because it looks like u aren't especially concerned with whether or not u r finding elims, only with the appearance of doing so - and that's an elim mentality right there but that being said i don't like how fast people are also putting votes on u alongside me, i was ok with adding more pressure but this is really early for a train to coalesce so i am going to think about this and come back when i have actually had sleep insomnia is a hell of a drug

every step leads unfalteringly to Tyrian Falls where the eye expects to see the village unchanged, Tyrian Falls as it has always been, world without end, if Warmmha wills it but, thinks Kellehrt this is an illusion we depend on the illusion of permanency we depend on the assumption that things stay the same as they were when we left them without this assumption existence is infinitely more fragile to see is to exist or to be remembered is to exist he has grown up in Tyrian Falls and moved out for a time not wanting to have lived the same life as his father and his father’s father, not wanting to live and to grow old and to die in Tyrian Falls and yet here he is after all those years, drawn back to Tyrian Falls as though some connections run through the blood as though the world is drawn together on silken skeins tighter than Warmmha’s weaving and the world is Tyrian Falls and the barricades they are beginning to build; structures of wood and spikes that demand the world keep away, the beginning of the unweaving and the unravelling and the falling apart and Kellehrt is back in Luthadel working the forge not his father’s forge or his father’s father’s forge where he has grown to the sound of hammer on anvil like a bell, like the village bell drawing him ever onwards to the worn stones of the village square where undoubtedly someone will be holding forth on the state of the world on the reasons for the barricades since the last courier passing through with fear in his arrogant eyes said the Lord Ruler was dead the Lord Ruler was slain and perhaps it was supposed to feel as though the world had ended but there was only the unravelling only a sense of faint relief thank Warmmha, the worst is over he’d thought then, but undoubtedly too soon if the undercurrent of fear running through Tyrian Falls like the tug of that quiet mountain stream a fair walk away from Tyrian Falls up along the slopes of the ashmounts is any indication things are still fraying at the edges and wearing down like whetting a grass-stained scythe at the grinding stone, he had made enough of them, with his own two hands, taking up the scythe had felt like coming home with the ache of memory when he saw the maker’s mark stamped where the end of the scythe met the worn wooden haft nicks easily removed by the comforting scrape of the grinding stone but the blade was itself wearing down whispers of evil among them in Tyrian Falls because Tyrian Falls itself was the blade scraped innumnerable times against the whetstone and ground to nothingness (Warmmha grant them all peace) and he looked at the villagefolk as he passed them one by one Iguana was heckling others about who the traitors (the evil, Warmmha grant him strength, they had to be stopped) might be, drawing off past lives, dreams of past lives, Kellehrt supposed, because you only had the one, you only ever had the one he crossed the street, flinching as he saw a streak of rust not blood, not likely blood, not rust as though that ancient sin still lurked here, still waited, still descended on his head when he was least expecting it why did you do it, he was asking again, a child but there was no answer and there never would be any answer there were Smokers in the past, yes, but the Smokers like all that Warmmha weaved like his lost years in Luthadel had been there for a purpose and while Kellehrt thought the past might be a guide you had to pay attention to the present and if the present were any indication the village square was still silent though many whispered about the warning, about Wilson’s warning he wondered if this was what they had done years ago, mind drawn back inexorably to the unexplained, to the unexplainable, to the ancient sin which lay ever more heavily on him the thought he would have no children, no son or daughter after him to inherit this weight, this guilt was cold comfort as he walked on through the village square, seeking as always, answers § it is not always possible to add one's thoughts to RP especially when u have prewritten some of it so i will just add that having at last steeled myself to do my duty and make a proper read of the thread despite the dread of going through wrangling about distro i have more thoughts swan not wrong about pointless element to the discussion but i suppose i ramble and have already made my distaste for excessive role speculation clear no idea about village seekers but if we do have them expect spiked smokers always possibility of v smokers and if too many, we should begin to suspect vote manip or seeks on the elim end but v honestly they may be there to nerf village seeker and to give a place for the elim smoker to hide i say the because usual for elims to have at least one smoker on tyrian rules because seeker finds both role and alignment which is a hell of a thing expect the usual countersmoking tactics if they think like claincy's AG team which yea we dk anything about that yet im just thinking aloud god i hate this playstyle why did i make myself do this instant word vomit into the thread very nice since we are already on LG74 which will hang over us like the curtains i haven't washed i feel it is important to say we let the seeker do their thing if they exist but our job is to find the elims if we can don't overrely on the seeker LG74 spent too much time waiting for village seeker to bail them out and they didn't have a seeker we have to act as if there is no seeker so if there is one it is a bonus nothing more the nice thing about AG distros is that its like clockwork which is that having some info allows us to infer some other info b/c it's usually about balancing elements of the game and the fact there is an extensive Tyrian style playhistory means there is precedent to infer about (even if we don't expect gms will pull wholesale) at which point it is good to remind that Fifth and El have at last check a slightly more orthodox distro doctrine in terms of surprises (cf whatever i said about kas using a distro that was actually initially theirs) so in that sense i would regard lg74 as being directly within el's and fifth's gm meta but lesbehonest we don't play this to guess the gm and i don't know el or fifth enough to guess them and am not inclined to play that game now that i have read, while i would like to see more from Sunburst Toucan, especially some id, u are spared for the moment as Pearl Chameleon's vote raises my hackles being either banal or performative it is trivially true that each game will generally not recycle the distro of the previous game (my comments on el and fifth having churned the distro for lg74 notwithstanding) and voting on a player for trying to base a distro strongly on lg74 just reeks of being performative or opportunistic yes it's a d1 vote i will grant d1 votes tend to be weird but that one especially read just like a reason to slap an easy vote down and appear to be participating and my gut dislikes this so what can u do im just gonna go with my gut i like Octopus's line of thought so far in general and am agreed that it's good to have an idea of exlo but imo, wait a night nks and vote manips and all sorts of things will let us make more inferences about distro then we can make a better projection of when hello lylo is and when we need to get more worried than we should already be not so sure on Scorp yes elim Coinshots are powerful but as said, el and fifth have had distros starring them before and they did the all Mistborn AG so that was wild and i'm not going to really rule things out. el-fifth-wilson gm-im team is pretty 1337 y'all they can come up with some wild out there stuff i wouldn't think of but again and again im of the wait and see mind and im rambling more so im gonna stop here and go sleep

inserting myself into this to note that the GM for LG74 directly asked El for a role distro idea (well he asked a lot of people) and he used a role distribution that had been initially generated by El and Fifth for AG5 so it's strange that one might say the GMs wouldn't do this because in a way they did oh they went for the Mistborn madness idea for that AG in the end but the point the point the point is that it was one of the distros they had come up with and they rejected that distro for something more kayana by standard meta and so Kas took it but anyway i say it as a point of order and not really because i'm interested in this speculation because i'm not too interested until we have more definite info about the distro which will come, like all things, naturally from the course of playing the game because that's what one does no real choice about it now you've signed up oh no should note since the Elim coinshot distro talk that El and Fifth also had an evil coinshot distro and no, i'm not about to check those as i think it'd defeat the point of this game and really speculation without data at this juncture is pointless better to find elims thanks for the pfp @Burnt Spaghetti i am pwetty and looking at myself is fun until death inevitable death but this is the nature of the game as soon as we sign up we are prepared to die and so it is i regret this playstyle help Sunburst Toucan let's see some id

the bell the bell as hearing the bell as hearing the bell as standing here out in the early mists of the morning before hearing the bell as standing here in the early morning, shrouded in the mists which have not yet begun to reluctantly disperse as though it was last call at the village tavern, pub, watering-hole, whatever you wanted to call it, it was where you went in Tyrian Falls if you wanted something to drink that was not water the source of all life, clogged by the ash-rains and the drift on the warm air from ashmount Tyrian Tyrian falls, he’d said as though that was so damnably clever and indeed he’d always been the sort to be a little too enraptured by his own wit and here Kellehrt was thinking about things again, things long past as the stains of tea on the window-sill where he liked to rest his mug and take in the grey light of the morning the grey light through the sea of mist before the mistlight the greylight before the waking and the sowing and the reaping and the harvest there were bad things in the mists sometimes they said mistwraiths but mistwraiths didn’t hurt you they were mindless and anyway to eat was a primitive instinct he’d said in the years that Kellehrt had spent working the forge in Luthadel in the before-times before before before his fingers tight around the stem of the mug the mind must not be allowed to wander or it will dream about the waking and the sowing and the reaping and the harvest before and the harvest before that got up early because he liked to, it was so quiet so perfect so still you could hear and now the village bell, calling the hour or a warning, Kellehrt couldn’t decide why was the mind fixated on warnings as though there was something different, as though Tyrian Falls was different, as though from this little farm on the outskirts he could see a little better as though the sun rose then and the mists around Tyrian Falls were bloodstained he didn’t fall to his knees because he was gripping the window-sill because the streets had run with blood in Luthadel and Wark had said it was the coming apart of things, the social order, he said, casually, as though that was what you saw everyday as though and maybe it was expected that there was only so far you could grind skaa into the dirt and the ash and the dust before someone someone did something and the garrison swept in the peal of hammer on anvil stroke after stroke like the echoes of the bell breathe surely this was not what Warmmha had intended but sometimes (doubt) it was difficult to know what Warmmha meant like staring into the incandescent heart of the forge-fire heat of the flames on your skin praying stroke after stroke the bell echoes from the village echoes the bell echoes let this be right let this be your will let this be

I really don't want to sound pushy, but Do we have an estimate of when this would be done? I kinda wanna discover my ultimate fate.

The elim doc is in the aftermath post. But it looks like the whole reason was because we decided not to do a WGG. Ninjad

Well played everyone. I'm glad to have been able to participant in this game. Even though I've been on the SE a while, this was a relatively new experience for me to be alive so long, I usually am killed before lylo point, or in a game where one side completely destroys the other side. I quite enjoyed being a lone elim, and for those of you that read the elim doc, I hope you enjoy my monologue there near the end. A few things I would like to put here real quick (And I'll put more later, if I run out of time now) @Magenta Albatross I am very impressed by your guessing and analysis. You were definitely a huge asset to the village team. It was fun to play with you, and it was interesting to see how long it took before we finally decided to take you out. @Saffron Iguana I enjoyed the time we were alone in the elim doc. I still think we could have pulled off a win if we had chosen to keep you alive, but I'm glad it all worked out. Thanks for having me do that as it gave me a great chance to be a lone elim, which was a first for me, so definitely fun. @Indigo Weasel Your posts during the last few cycles caused me the greatest amount of stress, because I saw you as relatively cleared, but at the same time, you were the least cleared of the remaining villagers, so I had to leave you alive. I'm glad it worked out in my favor. I'm sorry that you were slightly less active right at the end, because that is one thing that really helped me take the victory. @Violet Axolotl Your end game was a very tough situation to be in. Overall, I think you did well under the pressure. Hindsight is 2020 and I'm pretty sure now you feel it was obvious that I was the last elim. I'm glad I fooled you in the moment, and I hope you don't beat yourself up too much about it. I dedicated about 2 cycles to slowly, silently pocketing you, as I knew I would need your vote at the end. It almost didn't work, but I'm glad it did. Very well played. I'll have more thanks and mentions down the road for specific players. But Thank you to the GMs @Fifth Scholar and @Elbereth for running this game. I really enjoyed this game style. There were multiple times when I questioned how well balanced it was, but as you stated in the Dead doc, it was experimental, and I think it turned out fairly well. If I were to change it the only thing I would do is somehow make it so not all scans are alignment scans. Maybe have a like 2/3 chance of being alignment scan, 1/3 chance of being action/role scan. I don't think it's a necessary change, but that's the one change I can think of. Reading through the dead doc(mainly the last part. I skimmed until I found my first mention then started reading more i depth from that point on. ) I saw a lot of people who thought that the Kangaroo lynch situation was a bad situation. I completely agree. I mean I'm surprised people at least subconsciously bought my argument I had made the cycle before. Then also regarding the thing about seeing that Weasel wasn't on during that last night cycle. I noticed too, but just a bit too late. If you read my monologue during d8, you'll see the stress in my tone in the text, I think. I'm glad axolotl didn't think to check that during the last cycle, but even if he had, it probably would still have been 50/50 chance of the elims anyway. It was definitely very fun to play this game. I would love to see a rerun at some point in the future. More thoughts to probably come later.

Yes, I did. I assumed you would have use yours on flamingo, so I used mine on weasel. Assuming you used yours, this cycle should be completely free of manipulations to votes, because they would all be protected by the lightweaving.

Something tells me the GMs are losing ideas for the write-ups. Though this one was very unique and elegant. So as long as there's no hidden mechanic in play, I think that confirms the final elim is Weasel. So I'll place my vote there. My main reason for doing this is because last cycle, they claimed bondsmith, and then it appears failed to use it. This would have proved that they did not submit the kill, however, because they didn't use the action associated, it makes it seem more than likely to me that they submitted the kill.

huh. Well. I guess it's not over then. So going through everyone's claimed roles, I noticed Weasel claimed Bondsmith, but I don't see any manipulation with the vote. Is there a reason you didn't manipulate the vote weasel? That's the only thought I have as of right now. I'll try to add more thoughts a bit later.

Hmm. Last cycle I was the one to start the lynch on Kangaroo, but I later marked that as tunneling in my own book. I'm not so certain how I feel about the kangaroo lynch, as I feel it is somewhat more likely the last elim is between weasel and axolotl I think that my suspicion on weasel has been flip-flopping the entire game. But i cant get over the part where weasel killed for Albatross. It almost seemed they were... more than willing? Then the alignment flip of scorpions village as well. It's probably tunneling again, but it seems a perfect way to have a scapegoat for another villagers death. I kinda want to trust axolotl for the same reasons I want to trust kangaroo. Their participation in the lynch of Meerkat. It just seems too late in the game for an elim to attempt a bus, especially on a very active elim. Actually, as I write this, I think no do find it more likely that kangaroo is elim than axolotl. So my suspicions would go weasel, then kangaroo, then axolotl, then flamingo. Edit: From weasel (not normal formatting because mobile) I guess I dont really. It just seemed the reason you wanted to lightweave always to help them survive the night, which is exactly what lightweaving wouldn't do. It's still a good idea because wasting a lightweave on anyone else could hide the elim from any skybreakers, and it would also ensure a safe, unmanipulatable, village vote that we could count on next cycle.

What I'm saying is that Lightweaver won't help him survive the night. It doesn't protect anyone from kills. It only protects from skybreaking and vote manipulation roles.

Why should we use lightweaver on flamingo? It only protects from vote manip roles and skybreaker. What we need is a windrunner. Unfortunately, I'm also a lightweaver.

I guess you're right. I mean, it wouldn't really prove that I dont submit a kill tonight. I guess my thought was that someone last turn said that they would be mad if they found out I was lying. My thought was to prove to them my claim last cycle for the sake of proving my honesty. I mean I feel like that post of mine wasnt a justifiable post to make me your biggest suspicion, and I feel like you're tunneling on me a bit. I mean last cycle, there were multiple other people who had a votes, including my vote on Kangaroo, which looking back on it, seemed a bit convoluted reasoning, and probably a bit of my own tunneling against him. I mean I started the lynch on iguana for crying out loud, because their posts and reasoning was flawed. No one else seemed to have noticed it until I pointed it out. I dont think anyone else would have noticed on time, but because of me, we got an elim.

So I'm an elsecaller, as I mentioned last turn, so I won't be putting in an action, as my ability is only passive. . But I have no way to prove that unless someone dustbrings me, so that would be a good way to validate my action, if we have any dustbringers, go ahead and hit me (But please coordinate with others so I don't get multiple kills against me, and end up dying, because that would be sad) So yeah, that would be a good way to account for my action (Or lack thereof) while also accounting for a dustbringer action, without killing anyone.

Heres a vote count. Meerkat (1): flamingo Flamingo (2): iguana, Albatross Iguana (2): Meerkat, axolotl

I just want to point out that two people claimed to have dusted scorpion. Weasels claim is backed by Albatross, whi supposedly told him to place the kill, but no corroboration for Iguana's claim. Seeing that it is likely that kangaroo actually submitted the message, that means they didnt submit the kill. That leaves us with Iguana, Albatross, Flamingo, or Toucan. Seeing that albatross has a very big chance of being village, And flamingo and Toucan both appeared to have not been online over the night period. I was not able to verify this, but I'd be willing to believe whoever claimed this. kangaroo That leaves, iguana whose action hasn't been corroborated. Until I hear more from iguana as to if they can corroborate their action, I'm going to place my vote there.

sigh... Again we go through this. So I couldn't have submitted the kill last cycle. I already claimed that I had willshaped a vote off of me. I would have voted for either crocodile or scorpion had they both not dies these last cycles, so that just goes to show that I've been wrong again Weasel seemed pretty willing to go along with that attack for some odd reason, but I actually don't find that very suspicious. I don't think it's the wisest to throw a vote on me, and I'll explain why now. So first of all, I'm an elsecaller this cycle, so killing me won't kill me for at least until the night turn. That will delay information being released. Second, as I've already explained, I couldn't have been the one to submit the kill, so, if there's only one elim left, it can't be me. My vote is going on Kangaroo this cycle. While I do have some agreement with their analysis, and also Iguana placed the first vote on me as well, so I'm now leaning more elim on iguana than before. But back to kangaroo, Something about playing a game with almost real content, then posting one message at a critical time in the game, then going back to being able to keep up with the RP doesn't feel right with me. If either them or a teammate could have posted that as if it was them. Then they are now able to continue hiding behind their RP mask, as they will no longer feel the necessity to respond in a comprehensible way. I don't like that strategy.

I get that you're not infallible. My point was that you were more likely to have more information than Flamingo, or Crocodile, for example. This, in my head, made your thoughts weigh heavier on my mind than their thoughts. But yeah, I realize that there are times that we all are going to not have enough information. My read on axolotl is entirely my own, but since albatross, a trusted villager trusts them, that makes it so that I'm also slightly more willing to trust them.

...Yeah, for the first question, toucan's alignment would reveal more info about what happened from the first cycle. Plus, I think they've had just the right amount of content, not a super small amount, where there is almost nothing to analyze, but not so much where going through their content is likely to have dozens of false leads and lead in circles and on goose chases. For the second question, my read doesn't depend on Albatross' read, but it is influenced by it, as he is a known villager, therefore making me more likely to believe him. Part of the reason behind this is the fact that, despite most people not supporting the idea, people are more willing to confide in a known villager, therefore turning them into a ...Mayor?... type person. They know more because more people tell them more. Yeah, I willshaped Heron's vote. When I placed the action I wasn't really expecting to survive. On the contrary, I was pleasantly surprised that I was still alive when I woke up this morning.

Prelude: So this post has been moved from multiple devices, so the formating has gone a bit wonky. Oh wow, I hadn't realized I was the subject of much discussion. That's interesting. Let's see what I can do to dispel these concerns. So I find it most interesting that as of yesterday, most people, as far as I know, had a neutral to village read on me, then because one person had an elim read on me, now I'm one of the largest candidates for a lynch. Yeah, I have been bad at not completing promises this game. I'll post a quick analysis of different players coming up. So I actually legitimately thought that Octopus was village. It wasn't a hard-clear, thus the reason I was a bit hedgey. Other than that I know I haven't been the most active, but I don't know if that's a fair reason to lynch me. Is there any other argument as to why I see elim? I'd love to be able to address it. Player List2. Amethyst Scorpion: Their analyses have been really good. Something about the name makes me automatically think elim, but despite that presupposed prejudice, I think I'd go slight village on Scorpion.6. Emerald Falcon: Is very interesting, because I can't decide whether they're definitely village, or definitely elim. I think I have a slight elim read on them but not extremely strong. 7. Indigo Weasel: I haven't seen a counter-claim for their *either protect or scan or both* which makes the claim more likely. This makes me think they're very village, but I do wish I had more to analyze (just like many people think about me. 9. Magenta Albatross: I'm pretty sure we all trust Albatross, for very obvious reasons. 10. Mauve Crocodile: Albatross's point is rather interesting, but I don't know if I really agree with it. It seems like a possibility, but I wouldn't go so hard of an elim like Magenta Albatross felt. I still have an overall village vibe, but I'd be willing to put them anywhere between soft village to soft elim. 11. Mint Heron: relatively inactive, like me. seems like they're choosing to just follow and hope to lie below the radar. I want to say Elim, but I don't know if I can. I'd probably go neutral for now. 12. Onyx Flamingo: Like others, I wish we had more posts from them. a quick view of their post history makes me lean slightly village though 17. Saffron Iguana: They have a lot of content, so it's hard to do a good analysis on it all. They're one of the few that have so much content. I keep falling on the fact that that they did vote to lynch an elim on D1. Other than that, about half the cycles I lean Elim, and the other half I lean Village. It could be good to lynch them as some point to get their flip18. Sage Kangaroo: I really enjoy the RP, but it makes me suspicious of them. Since there has been almost no analysis from them despite this being C5, it makes me suspicious. I'd go soft to medium elim on them. But also, I don't think it's fair to lynch them for that. 19. Salmon Meerkat: I don't really like providing analysis of myself because It's obviously going to be biased based on my alignment, and I'll always find stuff to support a villager argument. 21. Sunburst Toucan: Their alignment could be very telling. For that reason, I would like to vote for Toucan. I don't have a whole lot of data on them, which is scary, especially this far in to the game. Typically by D5, we are within just a few cycles of the end of the game. 24. Violet Axolotl: I don't like how some of their posts sound. I also don't like how Albatross, who we all are fairly certain is a villager seems to hedge on whether they are elim or village in their post earlier this cycle, then gave them the rating of Hard Village. The reason I don't like that though is because it makes me want to lean more village on them than I would normally do. I would have to go soft village instead of soft elim, though I would like more clarification from Albatross as to why you hedged for your analysis, then went so Hard on the village when you actually rated. Anyway, my vote for now is on Toucan, though I may move to falcon for survival purposes, and I would also support a kangaroo, iguana, or a Crocodile lynch. Anyway, Vote count: Meerkat (3): Falcon, Scorpion, Heron Falcon (1): Iguana Toucan (1): Meerkat

Apologies for the inactivity. I have the thread open while doing work today, so when I have a spare minute, I'll be trying to read, and contribute with my thoughts. It may be at least a few hours though before you see more.

You?, so it looks like I just missed a letter, and one of the edgedancers is am elim. ----- Then there's two that have some sort of letter code. I'll try to decipher those later to see if we have any useful messages. I'll also do a brief analysis of a few players before placing my vote.
