"jkjkjk that was a varrryyyy intuitive and fullly thought out comprehenshive crystal clear analysish of da shadeshmar eight, good work, varry well done indeed. i definitely readd the entirety of it front and back multiple times" "an whatchya mean one or the other? why not both? cosh it ish both. call me mistah aa. definitely not alcoholics anonymous. lmao imagine dat, me needin aa meetings. not a chance. im talkin autonomously alcoholic "

"aight aight aight, prolly common knowledge by now if anyones trackin movements of everyone, im mistah A, dis sorry excuse of a vessel for a shard, if you will. im revealin now becosh big o is free an kill anyone. coa and ocs im jusht hoppin planets, inveshtin and votin via my ashpect, no threat to ya. leave me alone. im autonomy afta all. huh perhapsh solitude woulda been a better shard name. also claimin becosh sorta shure elims know mistah a issa me. becosh in d2 i wash on fots twas - me, king tut, lizzy boy, stripesy. i hopped ta scadrial next, but no one elsh joined or left fots so in d3 twas - king tut, lizzy boy, stripesy and tantr (issa my ashpect which i created in d2). so issa obviosh to anyone on fots that i be auto. an since gecko was there and gecko be oc, oc moshtly know i be auto as well. figured might ash well let coa know. equal footin an all that." "someone queschund me allegiance becosh i added extra vote on albatroaz. issa becosh i had already added extra vote on gecko in d2. did not want to add extra vote again on gecko in d3 cosh it dont sherve my wincon. my extra votesh are only for my wincon thas all. i hafta target 2 ocs and 2 coa to complete one of my wincon. extra vote is sholely for that. makes no sense for me to vote gecko again in d3. bashically - d2: gecko; d3: albatroaz" "alsho alshoo meshage to ruin pleaaasse por favor dont deshtroy taldain, fots, scadrial. i been inveshted in them. also me currently in nalthis, so dont deshtroy that too. if youre already on one of these planers and think a cycle is washted if ya don't deshtroy it, i have a plan! jusht attack it once! then if/when i win/die you can revisit the planet, attack it again and deshtroy hmm? okay? thanks! :)"

"do ya even hafta ask? lookatme looookatmeeee! ohandithoughtitwasaonetimethingnotapermanentpushbackmybad"

"errrr rollover?"

"so mistah moush basically explained why we hafta go afta gecko todat. yasee this cycle, shure we maight find some ocs be sushpishus. but that oc might now be bleshed by mershy if mershy is oc. who do we know that will not be bleshed with mershy? gecko. if we do not kill gecko now, or tonight, gecko be bleshed again tonight, so we cannot kill gecko tomorrow too. so shure. put votes on da hateful eight and center da discushun round them. but make shure we kill gecko today.

"me thinks biggy o and/or big os inveshtee were on shadeshmar? so all were roleblocked. gecko edit: i wash on phone and bashically skipped over hyenas poem which said the same thing

" hey, whyyy sssoooo sssiriiyasss? pardonin that horrribul heath ledger imitatshun, itsa night time dingo, just chill, relax and lets play bingo" x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x "see im ready. 'course numbers are hidden ya know, far anonymity purposhes" "here moush, take a chug! musta bin hard far ya, scavengin for shtuff, an it aint likely whatsover thatchyu find some alcohol or the likes in the bins ey? cmon over lets share a drink"

"prudie :)"

"you didnt worldhop after fursht cycle? me checkin da doc but no talksa happenin .cept a coupla line of rp, so me no have nothin' ta say." "think haina called you prutwo. howzat?"

"okay mistah bird of prey, i shall answer your sushpishuns here, as i cud not reply in time before the cycle closed." @Amber Vulture "coulda shifted to kanga then? if im oc, why wouldai take a chance, a 50 percent chance of saving a fella oc at the risk of sush on me. thats one more elim identity at risk ta be revealed." "issa false. i was on before. here is da proof. i had a pm with mistah ocho - scarlet octopus (the only one i had in d1) courteshy of old Prudie. the posht you refer, in which i changed my vote shows ta me as at dec 30, 07:56am. ive sent a message to mistah ocho at dec 30, 07:02am. a whole 54 mins before i poshted da posht. i was defo online before that, but dis is da earliest i was can prove i was on. ask @Scarlet Octopus. 54 mins gap. ocho. check it. more points. when i shtarted writin up the posht you menshund, gecko hadnt voted yet. loook, ishha biig posht. "posht like this takes time. especshully for the final para where i had to go front and back through the thread to check who gave what reashuns ta vote. meanin i typed up the posht as and when i was analysin da thread. shure, it said "taupe gecko has replied show reply" when sumwon says somethin when yar typin somethin. but i never click on show reply becosh i did it once while writing a big posht, and the shard got hungry and ate it off. issa rule of da shard. the bigger the posht, the hungrier the shard. there ish a 11 min gap between geckos and my posht, but issa valid becosh i had to go run a chore in between as well." "so i completely missed geckos vote. issa evident when i asked in da night cycle that there be another fella on braize who vote for kanga as in my mind it was a 2 vote difference." "and now im defo more sushpishus of gecko. not only vote removed from them. not only vote added to beagle. but both those plus the mershy's investing. all three together plus gecko forgettin that they were inveshted? too much coincidence. there be a propper effort to save them. issa good for fellas with kill items ta use on them." "rood, gettin judgmental are we? ya think i want to be miserable? ya think i dont want to get over this? that i want to be this way? ive got no choice! they say ya think ya can change when ya hit the rock bottom, i just ask God everyday, if this isnt rock bottom, then what in the storms is? im not stormin dalinar, even he could get over his alcoholishm, but i cannot. guessh ill just.. sit here and wait for the rock bottom."

"can only be done at night. hence couldnt save croc" edit: ninja

"okaaaay preservashuns inveshticher then?"

"uh el, hows this possible?" "also i dont see my vote. i had a vote on gecko"

"sorry, been dozin' off overdosin' off late. some thoughts of fellas thoughts since i lasht shpoke. there be some holes is the scary burds (ostrichers are heckin' scary ya know?) plan ta help mistah A by destroyin ashyn and braize - as some of ya have already pointed it out. id like ta add another thing. afta ruin deeshtroys the said wurlds, then if ati gets killed and ruin passes ta OCs, they be needin only two mor cycles ta deshtroy roshar and set big o free. helpin auto good cosh them be feelin good tawards us, but helpin auto at the cosht of our wincon not good. though i feel big burds comments are from village pershpective itshelf" "ish thish a vote on both? neither? either? ha! im finding more fellas that are drunk like me, juusht hidin it better. embrace your inner drunk my frens!" "about mistahs redhounds desiyah to know bout auto is iffy in bout itself. i do get bout the curiosity to know about them neutral fellas, but beagles way isnt the way to go about. woulda found it more sushpishus if not for this: "feel like the part bout valor protectin auto be comin' more likely from a village pershpective rather than ocs. nice idea, will help auto to create ikyks with ocs if n when they go to roshar. also could not only be done by valor but also by them dancer on the edges and fellas with protect items. though not as effective as valor cosh valor kills attacker." "issa missing my vote on gecko! and now lions as well. seee"

"zebra, gecko and tuatara are here with me in fursht of the sun by the way. feel like everyone shud know whos takin refuge in a planet that removesh a vote from them. i deshided to move here becosh i tried to explain my train of thoughts leadin to my change of vote, but shtill feel people do not believe me. meanwhile gecko on the other hand hash remained shilent and made no effort to put forth an explanashun. and is now chillin in the fursht of the sun. gecko

@Azure Mouse, youre tellin that my reashunin (for what? voting for flamingo?) shoulda lead me to conclushun a (which you wont reveal because it might harm us), but i ended up with conclusion b (which is feelin that quite a few votes on crocs were without reason and hens worried that it mighta been an misexe, an if it was a misexe then one of the voters on crocs mighta been OCs and hence me choosin flamingo as the mosht suspicious of the voters on crocs?) which is a wrong conclushun to reach? "honest to adonalshium, i felt we had two more hours to discuss the kill. i wasnt comfortable at how many fellas were votin on croc without a reashun (*sigh* feel like im repeatin myself many a times), and felt kanga as village as well, so i thought to bring up someone elsh i was sushpectin to discuss thinkin we had 2 more hours to do so." "ya say i was distancin' myself by votin for crocs fursht. now why would i go spoil the distancin to make myself linked with crocs, an puttin myself under schrutiny by votin lasht moment, when i coulda just stayed on croc and kept my distancin intact and solid if i was an elim?" "ahh i see. ya see i had marked your vote in my personal vote count, an so i didnt bother to see vote counts poshted by others. so in my mind, your vote wasnt unnoticed. hens i found your reiterashun weird." "@PRUDENCE i know i said i have a hunch that youre evil (no one wants to talk about that huh?), i still stand by that hunch but por favor gimme a PM with mistah blue mouse.

"can ya explain this a bit to me? what one particular path? my dishmishiveness bout what? what shift? dont think ive been dishmishive bout fellas rping? jusht been side eyein fellas not involved in vote discushun when twas happenin. like ya wanted nothing to do with what was happenin with croc and kanga. an you did say you wanted nothin to do with them, i jusht felt you coulda given yar opinion on da situashun at the time rather than 'me. silent. observe'. at leasht ya said somethin. schropion didnt involve themselves in any sorta vote discushun at all. nothin bout kanga-croc shtuff, which to me is sushpishus. im talkin bout fellas who poshted with a vote (or retracshun) around the time the discusshun was heavy around croc an kanga, but told nothin bout them. "alsho asshuming OCs do not have vote manips inherently is dangeroush, as that can change any time becosh of items and them hoppin to braize an firsht of the shun"

"oh dear, im gonna hafta go sober, dont i? noooooooo. ill try to make myself more clearr. sorryy" "heyyy, is everryone drunk todayy? or are yous deliberately mishinterpreting my poshts to whip up suspishun?" "how ish this a poke vote? as i said here, jusht when shir buckets shtarted discussion about killin' and talkin' bout how gorilla easily jumped on kanga - comes crocs tellin how "hey at least gorilla had a reason to vote" this shpoke ill about them to them to me for the followin' reashuns: it felt like crocs was shtiflin' the exequshun discushun that had jussht shtarted. jusht becosh someone voted givin reashun, doesnt mean we accept it as it is. didnt like how croc basically told "hey at least he gave a reason. why are you votin for him", like we are s'posed to ignore people if the give a reashun to vote. like we shouldnt analyze or schrutinize the reason they gave. and i said it all in the posht above. dont see why you takin it as a poke vote. the only reashun i changed wash becosh of all the others votesh sheemingly jumpin on the wagon for bare reashuns, which made me thinkin it mighta been a misexe. "again lets agree to dishagree. as i told in my lasht posht, when in the cycle the vote was made might not be important as the situation of other votesh at the time vote was made. hyena voted when it was 2-2 (essenshially 3-2 becosh of croc double vote). so when hyena voted, they broke the tie to make it 3-2 (but also made it 4-2 from elims pershpective, puttin kanga ahead by two votesh). these sorta votesh should naat be ignored jusht becosh they were made earlier in the cycle." "alsho alsho i wanted to ask if all yall pms have been with sheemingly random fellas, or did ya have village read on your pm mates before the pm shtarted. asking becosh of my evil Prudie theory" "@Melon Dingo, wash that betta?"

"hey hey, no reashuns offerud? didchya read ma poshht? i thought im s'posed ta be the drunk one!" "sho i began with lishtin out them lads whom i found sush. with all them votes flyin around with no reashuns. tis included schorpio, moushe, lion n flamingo. with all them votes flyin out without a speck of reashun, me startin ta doubt maself n start thinkin maybe OCs be hoppin on the wagon ta falshly kill crocy, so i think some OCs are votin on crocy. flamingo wash da mosht sush cosh they shaid kanga hashnt done much ta anyone yet. implyin crocy had? but no talk bout croc. votesh on crocy were flimshy. also also if wanted ta save crocy, i woulda put ma vote on kanga meaning kanga diesh an crocy shurvivesh. ya know what happens when someone shurvivesh fursht day close exequshun dontchya? have ya obsherved it befow? they ushually jusht fall off da radar, we tend ta ignore them far quite a few cycles unlesh they do shometin very sush. alsho alsho alsho i had a good reashun ta vote on crocy and wash da fursht ta vote for dem. i coulda kept ma vote on crocy for a huuuuuge village read dontchya think?" "ya tellin ya felt gud bout votes on crocy, lion? bee square with me na, didntchya feel somethin wron bout all dem votes flyin without a darn reason? i thought we had 2 more hours ta discuss it, didnt realise twas 46+2 cycles. thought itwas 48 the first time, then 2+46 the reshta the game. "seee, issa bit hippocritical dontchya think? feelin aint right on me but youda moved off crocy. ish naat jusht you, shir bucketts ash well, and now vulsher too, hmmm too many fellas tellin same thing. twas the AG thing aint it? when they told its their fursht one? feel like a lotta fellas here playin thems first AG themself, and been able ta shympathize with a fella dyin on the fursht day of AG." "now letsee bout how the votin went about. whats da mosht important is such exequshuns ish the timingsh of them votesh. to began with, i was da fursht ta vote on croc, and im village. so da person who votes for croc da 2nd is more likely ta be village as well, as i reaaaally don think them OCs be puttin one of their own up their early in da cycle. so who dis second fella ta vote for crocy? mistah kinga da jungle, da lion. so my read is mistah lion is village (twas one each ta crocy an kanga, lion put crocy in da lead). next crocy makes it two each. da next vote is from mistah hyena is varry much sush. dis a critical time ash it puts kanga in da lead, protectin' crocy. see? timin is everyythin'. shir buckets then makesh it 3 each. flamingo now puts crocy in da lead again. after crocys flip, dis vote looksh vary good on flamingo. now big O and other other OCs know at dis point dat the killin is still a tie even deshpite crocy leadin da vote coz crocys on braize. seems much less likely dat da next vote on woulda been from an OC. meanin da next vote was from mistah vulcher bee good aswell. mkay dis be da order of ma trust outta votersh on crocy axe guy > king lion > flamingo > vulcher. oh course mistah kanga comes out lookin' very much like a sage from dis voting." "outta voters on kanga, hyena ish more sush ta me dan gecko. itd be varry foolish moov far gecko ta do, in an attempta create a tie, expose another of dem OC. wont write it off though, jusht dat hyena votesh timin is more sush dan geckos." "other reeds hmm dingos lasht posht i very much liked, seemsta bee village. oh oh and schorpion is big O. not one of dem OCs, but the big bad himself rayshe. naggin feelin."

"huhhh it says here in ma notes that the votes were 5-3 meanin either i made a mistake (totes possible, im drunk after all) orr there be 2 vote addishuns" Edit: "indeeed twash a mishtake on my part. im misshing geckos vote. think they ninjas me as I was writin up my posht an I missed it. so jusht one vote addishun indeed. jusht crocys"

"weyl ill bey darned. all dem vote jumpin on and bandwagonin on crocy had me doubting maself. I do suspect maaaybe one fella who threw crocy under da bus, coz some those reashonings ta vote were utter shoddy. now theres another fella big O whos come and tryda help crocy. now I've gon through the schripture of the ones up above, and it sheems that it coulda been a fella on braize jusht like crocy or it coulda been a lightweaver. fellas on braize, wanna come forth make it eashier for us?"

"hol awn jussht a minute crocy. was getting mighty sushpishus bout them stabs pilin on yourself, myself. jussht gotta let out a coupla thoughts i thunk in the meanwhile, lesht them eshcape the confinesh of this mind." "dishtribewshun wise, doesnt make much sense for ati to side with biggy O. thatll give the baddies 3 (!) kills jusht in one night! also give them means to destroy roshar asappp and let big bad O rule over the ennntire coshmere. soooooo i think the ones up above hafta put ati against big O. ati might prolly be one of the moshhht important roleshh we have gainsht big O. ati, por favor dont deshtroy rosharan syshtems. nother important fella is the coggy shad of old tanavast. fella, youre too old for this, sit this one out, we dont wantchya dead, so go hide yourself proper, and do your shtuff from behind the shcene." "nother thing troublin me is your lads seemta wanta talk behind da schenes a lot. thish over-reliance of prude fella will shurelly bite us in the behind ehh? very fine chance this prudie fella is actchally with big bad lad! and yalls are givin them free reign over your info if prudie is evil they control which way info goes! heckkk they mighta paired us gainsht them mini Os so we talk and talk and talk and sleep snuggly in their pockets! na now i know how important informashun is ta us. all im sayin is stead of "heyy prudie, put me in with whoever you please" we read the thread, and onllyyy request secret talks with whome we might trushht. jushht be wary of evil Prudie. coz they directly ignored my shpeshific request, and made a random one. or the other person wanted ta talk to me, buuut i havent interacted with thme much here dont see whyy anyone would wantcha talk with a drunk in secret" "right, comin ta poor crocy. ive seen sooooooooo many votes with no proper reashuns?? hecking heck? shure its da fursht day, but moshht of them dont even make no sense! like someone jusht voted for iguana who has shpoken like twice? hol on lemme jusht go check all dem votes." "thats been done, heres a few. mistah schorpion jushht poken dingo. dingo shpoke sumthin. mistah schorpio jushht retracted? then didnt add anythin to the convo? when main votingsa happenin? mouse pokes iguana, fair enough early in the day, then reiterated theyd vote for iguana? makes no sense ta me. compels me though. then of course theres da dodgy posht i menshund earlia bout albatroaz. dees da peepal, when i look at them, i see a biiiiig O shape. coming ta voters on crocy - lion and flamingo seems hoppin ta me. maaaaybe vulshur too, but hafta see moh. so - schorpion, mouse, albatroaz, lion (u lyin hahahaha), and flamingo. focusin on voters on crocodile coz i think them be hoppin, flamingo be da mosht sushpishus. crocy fella, you might hafta green out those votesh from them kotes, seems like yar voting fo yarself. twice! and since yar on braize, thats twice of twice, ya dont even need ar votes to kill ya ha!"

"Hmmmhmmmm rubs me off wrong this 'un. neva felt good bout them people sayin they not good at readin others. feel like they beein deliberately aloof. might be attributed to character they playin' buut might be overplayin that a bit. heyyy! tell us all a story bout a mouse named lorry"

"whoa whoaa got some things to be told bout dis, hol up buddy. as wise old Bucket oer here says, Mistah A can block the big O kills! thats someone big O might wanna remove. aaand as for the poor fella just wishin ta stay alive, well big O might try to hit them and it waste a kill or more. now dontchu go prancing about with absoloot disregard for them fellas that don't wanna involve themsaylves in this battle. nah tell me who likes to be be ignored eh? we in no way can try n guess them fellas intentions. heckk i've seen neutrals actually tryna help us village more often than not. seriously thouw, wouldya willingly work for big bad O? ya know, we need to pull em to our side, kill em with kindness and the like, big O can go use fear, naww not the way to gain loyalty. seee what im tryna say is, they be possibilities that them fellas just honestly, genuinely, legitly tryna solve this case as village! aint no heckin reason to ignore em at all!" "me im personally feelin ill about that Crocodile fella. juusht when them killin' talks began, comes he yammerin on about poke votes and the like. shuure kanga fella gave reason to his vote, but heyyy if the vote feels iffy for axot-axtlot aah heck that axe fella, sir bucketts, yeah if he feels iffy about kangas vote, shuure as heck he can vote! now where does poke vote come around from outta nowhere landing on the ground. votes with reason aint gon be immune to shcrutinaz - schrutinizashun, yeah? "prudence! be a dear and kindly let me talk to that hyena fellow. i feel like i know them aaand of course, im gon hafta give them some tips about poetry as well. we drunkards rhyme more often than lotsa other people. penguins a mime."

"ahh I see, a wise mans common sense is a drunkards wisdom" Read this whole thing from Remy the Rat from Ratatouille's POV. x100 times funnier. "and I shall be humbled by your presence and a receptacle to your wisdom" Huh, my speech is fixing up and I'm gaining lucidity. Gotta fix that. And just like that Al took another large swig from the bottle. "perfect"
