Oxblood Beagle

No, i did have to restart the PM. I actually made that mistake, and Orlok corrected me lol. but would Onyx be able to fake that on their first game? I find it more plausable they're an honest villager, and not a huge IKYK elim move. Also, seriously Tuatara? It would be quite interesting if I could bring villagers in the eliminator doc, in a game without alignment changes, and a game where I'm not an elim. Also, Quartz, at this point I'm feeling you as village. I'm also not asking you to not consider all the options. But at some point you gotta take a leap of faith as a villager. If we lynch Tuatara and they turn elim, that shows Onyx is more likely village, and im more likely village. We can't afford to spend time eliminating probable villagers if we want to win this game. We've gotta lynch the sketchy ones, and right now Tuatara is looking sketchier and sketchier.

It was me, Ivory, Onyx, and Albatross, and I brought in @Sapphire Elephant a little later (hey, where are you? We need more villagers involved!). The next person I would have brought in would be Vulture, I'm feeling pretty village about them. Albatross also shared some good things on why Onyx is probably village in our one on one PM, specifically how they are demonstrating "progression of thought." Elims already know who's village and who's not. But villagers are constantly evolving their suspicions. (Actually, because of this, my theory is that albatross is amanuesis, but that really doesn't matter). A brief summary was this, i made the PM and said "I trust you guys, I'm almost sure that Onyx is village, i want to switch the vote to a better target." We discussed for a bit, and we ended up voting on Axolotl. (Ivory did not get on by the end of the day to see the PM or get involved.). Then, Axolotl did their thing, we all went "oh crap we can't lynch them." And then we switched to Swan.

He PMed me later in the cycle on thursday, he explained that originally he was suspicious of me, but now he trusted me. Specifically, it was at 11:49 EST.

Ok, there were two PMs. There was my original PM, i made one with everyone. You got one too. Then, later, i formed a PM with all the people I trust. It was in that that we arranged to keep Ivory alive. It was in the original PM that I gained my village read of Ivory, just him and I. And it's not just the role that helps me to trust them. Sharing your role to a group takes trust. Ivory expressed a village view point of death, and I made the choice to save him. He did not initiate it. But I decided I wanted to keep villagers that I trust alive, so I wouldn't be working by myself. Guys, i know there are some confused villagers out there. Please trust me that Ivory is village. But if I'm right that Tuatara is an eliminator, this lynch will reveal so much. Those who defended him are more probably eliminators, and those who attacked him are more confirmed villager. So this lynch will not lack for information.

The difference is I know I'm village, and I was almost sure of the villageness of all people involved in the last lynch. Also, as I've said multiple times, the only reason we turned on Swan is because of what Axolotl posted. Otherwise, I'm very much against that kind of thing. I'm also going to share my somewhat crackpot theory, which there is a reason I haven't shared it before. Essentially, i see the possibility that all the lizards are eliminators. The whole reason Tuatara is suspicious is because of how little they've said, right until they get accused. Onyx is village because when he was going to die, he entrusted his notes to me through PM. Would an eliminator really bother to take the time to do that? Would they honestly? Honestly I was waiting for someone to defend Tuatara, because eliminators don't want their teammates to die. Yes, i know what I did yesterday, but in context of my trust of Onyx, and my suspicion of Swan, what else was I supposed to do? Let a definite villager die? No.

I sense a vote to save Tuatara, and I'm getting uber suspicious. Very, VERY suspicious. This vote has become close enough that the elims could manipulate it. I am really sure of Flamingos villagerness, and this counterwagon is off to me.

Luckily for you, I'm not this good at pretending to be village. And, for the record, I'm feeling Amber Vulture as a strong village.

Jai was starting to be noticed. They looked at him oddly. Why did they listen to him, a kid? A street orphan? He had stolen the slouchy pale guys curry, and when he went to the baker's stand to steal his bread, there were two loaves. Jai narrowed his eyes at this. Was the baker trying to be generous? Jai took both, and left a few dun spheres. Infused ones were better anyway. Suddenly, the slouchy pale guy pointed at him, and started shouting. "He stole my curry! He's a murderer!" Jai regarded him with an incredulous look, and then did the natural thing- he threw the hot curry in the man's face. Jai cackled as he ran away.

I feel like I have a good thought process, but I'm also kind of tired today. Him going from "meh posts" to expressing unsupported suspicion of me is suspcious, on top of his other behavior. Regarding Ivory, i stress that I know who they are, and that the reason they know terms like WGG is because they went back and read old games to understand the game better, which I applaud. Again, i feel like I have more to say, but I'm really tired and so I'll wait until I can phrase my ideas without sounding like an idiot.

First off, i hate the term "PM empire." What I wanted was another way to generate reads- which worked- and talk to less actives- which sometimes worked. Also, what information will I give? Yes, i have some good reads on people, but just because I'm village doesn't make me right. That's half the reason I'm trying to encourage activity anyway. Furthermore, i find it likely the elims would try to lynch me rather than kill me, for the same reasons stated above at some point. So I'll be keeping my vote on you. also, i looked through your posts, and it's amazing how little you've said with your posts. It definetly looks like you're trying to avoid attention.

It wasn't that, that's normal. It was how you worded it.

Hello hello, I've been busy, so I haven't said as much as I wish I could. Yes, i am a little miffed that they killed Octopus. However, they also never answered my PM. Also, if I were elim, would I really draw such attention to myself? I really, really wouldn't. Right now I'm going to vote Cream Tuatara for blatant non attention to the write up, and the weird thing where they said they wouldn't vote unless something big happened.

Dude, he died.

Hey I didn't die! It appears that elims are going after inactives. Interesting. Also, damnation. We lost PMs.

Ok, i think there's a good likelihood I will die tonight, so I'm going to share a complete rundown of what I think of each player.1. Amethyst Scorpion- leaning slightly village, due to gut read. Unsure of anything else. 2. Azure Mouse- leaning villager. 3. Amber Vulture- leaning stronger villager, but I'm not 100% sure5. Chartreuse Penguin -neutral. Has been too inactive to make any reads. 7. Cream Tuatara- leaning possibly elim. They haven't contributed too much, and seem to be just staying out of the spotlight. 8. Emerald Falcon-neutral, hasn't said enough. 9. Fuschia Ostrich- slightly elim, has been avoiding attention. 10. Indigo Weasel- leaning village, based on our PMs. 11. Ivory Dragonfly - I trust Ivory completely. He's very village. 12. Magenta Albatross- their PM is very village, so they are in the trust group. Specifically, they shared what happened in the bird PM, and I don't see why an elim would share that with me. 13. Mauve Crocodile- slightly village, but hasnt been active enough to truly tell. 15. Mint Heron- neutral, has been too inactive. 16. Onyx Flamingo - Squawk- very village, also in trust group. Every thing vibes village for him. 17. Opal Lion- slightly elim, based on his Bandwagony attitude.19. Pearl Chameleon- slightly elim, for how they are hiding in the background. Talk more! 20. Plum Rhinoceros- stronger elim, but they've also posted so little. 21. Quartz Zebra- hasn't posted a lot, and some of their posts seem outdated, especially the analysis at the end of day 2. I'm not especially worried about that, so neutral read, because it's probably due to business. 23. Sage Kangaroo- slightly villager, given accusations and posts. 24. Salmon Meerkat- slightly elim, based on gut read and the willingness to throw doubt at me- not that that couldn't be a villager thing. 25. Sapphire Elephant- also in trust group. Our PM was very village, i trust Elephant. 26. Scarlet Octopus- no read, has been too inactive to tell. 27. Sunburst Toucan - Vanna- no read, seems to be avoiding attention. 28. Taupe Gecko- no read, but could be elim. Needs to post more. 29. Turquoise Gorilla- slightly village, based on our PM. 30. Violet Axolotl- I'm pretty sure they're village and it's probably best to let them be for now. now I have to go to work, so good luck. Ill see you tomorrow, if I survive.

Not everyone felt so bad about lynching axolotl... oh. Well then. Opal Lion was the only one to vote on axolotl after that post. They edited the post it was in, but it was there. Possibly alignment indicative? Idk. But frankly, today was a stressful day. So I'm going to go to bed. Don't worry about me pulling something like that again. I'll probably die before then, and I wouldn't want to. That kind of circumstances does not show up very often, plus I won't even be able to be on at rollover anymore.

Yeah, it wasn't great, but did you see Axolotls post? I didn't want Flamingo to die, so I considered Axolotl a better target. But after he posted... well I'm not a heartless monster, elim or not. That made it less about the game and more about the person. So yes, at that point a last minute turn-around was better than lynching Axolotl. If you feel like you could have lynched them after what they said, that's your issue. But I didn't feel it was right to lynch someone for an emotional breakdown. So I went with the next best option I had- Swan. Clearly, it didn't work as well as I would have hoped. Also, Albatross is one of the ones I'm pretty sure is village. Their PM expresses some great points and very villagey stuff.

No. I only talked to people I trusted pretty much completely. However, not everyone who voted on Swan is someone I talked to. I never talked to Opal, and I'm still unsure of Weasel. That's about it. I would appreciate not dying tonight, but I'm not going to get upset if I get targeted or killed. I took a gamble, it didn't work.

He heard the highstorm coming. Jai had never gotten around to finding somewhere to stay. So, he stayed in the stables, with the chulls and horses and other beasts. He still had some infused spheres, although some of his other ones had gone dun. The infused ones he held out as he sat in the middle of the stables, listening to the storm rage outside. "I need to get out of here," whispered Jai. He saw shamespren collect around him, like falling petals. He let them fall. And, as the highstorm raged, he let himself remember how his parents died. A boulder through their room. He had been spared, for some reason. But his parents had been gone in an instant, for it had smashed through the storm protections. He felt guilty for surviving. Why them, and not him? Why had he even stayed here in the first place? There were no answers that came to mind.

Jai looked at the bloody body. He had done this. He had protected his friend, who he was sure was innocent, from dying. But at what cost? Something broke within him, and he started to cry. Storms, he couldn't have them see him cry! So he ran. Ran away from the scene. Ran back to his alley. And still he wept, because now there was another orphan on the street and it was his fault.

Well go ahead. I knew that was coming, but I do not feel like lynching someone who reflects strongly as village. If swan turns elim, i will be greatly relieved. If they don't... well that means most of my main suspects cleared out as probably not elim. So for now I'm just going to pray this risk I took actually pays off. Also, the reason it formed so quickly is because I've been discussion it in PMs. Coral seems to be regarded as suspicious by a fair bit of the village, so yeah I organized turning around the lynch. No, I'm not eliminator. Do you really think an eliminator would go to all this trouble? If I were elim, i would have bussed my team mate and been done with it. Instead I'm trying to trust people and it's stressing me out. Anyway, this cycle is about to end. So, yeah. I'm just going to hope for the best.

axolotl Swan . Swan, you made me uber suspicious with your last post. I was going to hold out on trying to lynch you until day 3, but given Axolotl, I'm inclined to just go after you now. Axolotl, i shouldn't have said what I said when I voted. I apologize for my slightly self-righteousness. SE is not about making people feel like crap, it's about having fun.

You're not wrong, i convinced albatross to prevent a lynch on Flamingo because I think he's village, due to what he said in his PM. Axolotl is far more suspicious than Flamingo.

Well, first, I'm going to retract my vote from Onyx Flamingo after he gave me a very village vibe in my PM. Instead, I'm voting Axolotl , for voting on someone for possibly the stupidest reason I have ever seen in SE. Axolotl, you cannot tell me you think Chameleon is elim because of bolding in a vote count. That's utterly ridiculous.

I'll address a couple things you probably missed. Double upvotes meant I wanted to upvote the GM post twice, once with each account. When someone mentioned PM safety, i assumed that meant there was a PM scanner, which I later acknowledged be an incorrect assumption (or at least I thought it in my head.) Poke votes are NOT redundant, and here you miss the point that I'm never intending to lynch someone with a poke vote. It's meant to get them active, provide a small threat. Then I started focusing on minimal activity people, who cannot be solved by pinch hitters, because they post enough to avoid the filter, and nothing more. As for the edgedancer thing, i also acknowledged the flaw in asking for edgedancers to claim. I realized that not long after posting, but by then it had already been pointed out. And as for Iguanas death, those reactions were due to Orlok telling us the wrong role twice before he told us what their role actually was. He edited those, so you wouldn't see it by looking back. Chameleon, i thought I had something, but then looking back showed that they were right and I had misremembered how that played out. Also, see how my poke vote on Plum Rhino did exactly what it was supposed to do- got them to post. And then I retracted it. That is what I've been spending most of my time on, bringing inactives back. Speaking of which, @Emerald Falcon I haven't seen you in a while.
