Sapphire Elephant

Because Dragonfly might've been trying to actually find the elims. I don't have a conclusion yet.

"Hey!" Klin called to Zense. "I'm selling Kalak's Honorblade for a mere 400 boxings!"

Klin looked at this more closely. Dugh seemed a little too willing to change votes. "Nothing at all? Anything is tradeable, you know."

"Yeah, but this one's no good for flying." Klin scowled. "Some folks are trying to sabotage the ship. I think they were bribed the Koloss-Blooded pirates. Very bad for business, those pirates."

"Death has an Honorblade?" Klin asked, confused. "I'm selling Kalak's Honorblade for 400 boxings," Klin chimed.

Klin accepted the boxings, took back the Medallion, and handed over the piece of paper. "Pleasure doing business with you," he said cheerfully. "Now, I have Kalak's Honorblade, for only 400 boxings!"

Klin handed him the Medallion. "It has a lot of stored Identity."

"It is authentic Breath," Klin assured. "I can demonstrate." Klin laid a hand on the paper. "Your Breath to mine," he said and colour swirled out of the paper and infused Klin. "My life to yours, my Breath become yours." Colour swirled back out of Klin and returned to the paper. "See? It is unkeyed, since I'm storing aluminum." Klin pulled out the Medallion he wore.

"No, no, I'm not buying Breaths, I'm selling them." Klin showed him the piece of paper. It said 'One Breath' on it. "Do you want to buy it?"

Klin thought that this logic was rather sound, but he thought that the real saboteurs would try to not draw any attention. "5 boxings for a Breath!" he said again. "An emerald broam works too." He waved the piece of paper more vigorously.

So I skimmed over everything Klin approached Stormseeker. "5 boxings a Breath!" he said, waving a piece of paper in front of Stormseeker's eyes. "Only 5 boxings!" ~ Ado (2): Gecko, Zebra Meerkat (2): Albatross, Adonalsium Elephant (1): Toucan Octopus (1): Dragonfly Dragonfly (4): Kangaroo, Octopus, Meerkat, Weasel Kangaroo (2): Iguana, Axolotl Iguana (1): Dingo Klin had heard the talk of people trying to sabotage the ship. Very bad for business, that. He did not know what to think of Echo, who a lot of people seemed to think was a saboteur. Klin felt like there was also a decent chance that they were just trying to help. He decided to abstain from voting for now.

Ostrich, Elephant, Rhino

Vulture, Iguana, Ostrich

Falcon, Ostrich, Elephant ;D

? Iguana is giving me general Bad Vibes(TM). I originally gave them village points for contribution and lack of rules knowledge, but their attempts to foster engagement feel disingenuous and performative. I thought there was more than that, but my notes aren't helping :< Scorpion is subtly defensive through much of D1, which I don't like. They're the 3rd person to jump on the Dragonfly train, upgrading it to something more serious, which is suspicious, especially given the scattered vote distribution D1. Their D1 vote on Hyena is also weird -- voting someone for voting on a gut read is "in poor form" itself, I think. (I might take my vote off them later, but I don't like the Hyena train, so.) Meerkat was just giving me bad gut vibes. Not much more to be said on that.

Well, I read D1, which drained my energy faster than a Hemalurgic spike. Here's my reads based on that. Will read more later Everyone else is null, for now.

Welp. Got busy and forgot about this. I’ll do a full read of the thread & post some reads later, when I’m at a computer.

Can you elaborate, my good scorpion? Ah, but what if you don’t have anything AI to vote on? Then, it would be hard not to not do anything D1, wouldn’t it? Those double negatives kinda broke my brain, didn’t they, did they not? Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo.

Glad you decided to show up, Vulture. [Also: #when you’re so forgetful you forget to use your “forgetful” cosmetic role. Look, I’m known for ditching my cr after the first cycle due to lack of interest, but that was a new low ] I don’t think it’s in poor form, Scorpion — the meme format is kinda frustrating to read. It’s not necessarily AI, but it’s D1 and we have precious little else to go on. Anyway, what was I talking about again? Oh, right! The multiple definitions of the word “fine.” I mentioned that it can mean “good” and “okay,” but depending on the context, it can mean “bad” too! This is more of a cultural thing (where I live, anyway (maybe it’s different for you)) — like, if someone says “how’s it going?” and you say “fine” then they’ll hear that you’re having a bad day. Weird, isn’t it? This happens because “good” is the default answer — if you aren’t actively not good, then your default response to “how are you” is “good, how are you?” You don’t even think about it. So, if you want to signal you’re doing worse than average, you say “fine.” Language is fascinating.

Maybe now is not the best time to be listening to voices in your head, my friend.

Hello fellow mortals! How’s it going on this fine day? “Fine” is a weird word, isn’t it? It can mean good or refined or just okay, depending on the context. And then you have the music definition — used to mark the end of a piece when you’re in a repeated section — which is totally etymologically different! Fascinating stuff, truly. Anyway, Vulture looks punchable. Did you know vultures pee on their legs to cool off? Wild.

I've got to remember me that one for the next time there's a KKC game...

They tried (Swan and Weasel), but the village didn't bite. You tried with Dragonfly but similarly, village didn't bite.You weren't a candidate put forward by the Spiked - Toucan and Hyena put you up for execution. It's certainly not the most common occurrence, but far from impossible, and the Spiked definitely tried to get something else going, not moving to you until over half way through the cycle. Day 4-6 are basically useless for analysis. Night actions gave us good Spiked candidates that essentially immediately got unanimous support for execution. No way of identifying bussing elims in that context. What you're not seeing is the 15 pages of PMs with Meerkat through the early cycles, or the individual and group PMs with Rhino, Hyena, and Swan through those cycles.

Can you elaborate on that? We can all agree there's good reason to restrict the pool to Chameleon, Falcon, and myself, but Swan's post is pretty much "Can't be bothered critically re-examining Falcon or Chameleon, so it must be the absurd situation of Elephant deepwolfing, which I'm not going to bother responding to". Which isn't particularly persuasive... Though anyway, with Swan having been online 3-4 times since my earlier posts, seems unlikely they're responding again this cycle for some reason, and given the voting/posting patterns of Falcon and Ostrich, I don't see those votes moving. Chameleon hasn't voted, but in a situation where Toucan chooses to vote with me, and Penguin was convinced to change to voting to Chameleon, Chameleon votes on me at that point for survival, so I think that pretty much means I'm dead. In which case, final words in case I don't get back on before end of cycle. First off, please reconsider my posts today and factor that in when choosing targets. Spiked Falcon doesn't much sense to me, but Chameleon does. After Swan, they've posted the most out of the surviving players, yet I don't recall them ever doing anything of note. Plus, as I point out, E!Cham works pretty well with C3 votes Spiked votes. In my opinion, they are the better choice to kill over Falcon. So I would vote for Cham to be coinshot, or failing that, the D9 execution. The other thing I wanted to say is that honestly at this point, I'm starting to get concerned about Swan. It's pretty wild to jump immediately to a deepwolf claim when there's better options, but it's less wild to jump to that if Swan has been deep wolfing this whole time, and was aiming to get in first to set the tone of the final cycles. I do think it's more likely that they're just weirdly tunnelling at this point, because I don't see it making all that much sense. But it seems just a likely to me as the situation Swan proposes, and because they've been weird this cycle, I'm not longer willing to entirely accept that they're clean with certainty. Though realistically village has likely lost if there are 2 Spiked remaining at this point, unless N8 is particularly favourable to the village, so there's not a lot of sense to actually dwelling on that.

I believe at that point Meerkat had connected me with the two Tineye and the Mistborn, but didn't have any knowledge of Swan as PoI just yet. I knew that the Penguin was likely to scan Croc N3, but I don't believe I heard about the N4 Lurch. EDIT: In case it helps, here's the break down of votes across Days 1-3. Obviously the colouring can now be updated to have Dragonfly, Mouse, Weasel, Swan, Penguin, Ostrich, and Toucan in green. Day 1, Day 2 Day 3 @Coral Swan I would like a response to why the voting patterns of C3 point to "Chameleon was hung out to dry by the Spiked", when E!Cham makes a fair amount of sense in the context of Spiked actions during that cycle - they work together to push Lion to the front, instead of Lurcher Flamingo, where some of them end on Cham as that was the only other relevant voting target, as established by early village votes. I just don't see how me deepwolfing so effectively as to being really slow to bother trying to move on any village target of note while keeping the second Mistborn and the Coinshot alive is so much more likely than E!Cham.
