Indigo Weasel

Ivory dodged around a chull stomping its way through the feast hall. It seemed somewhat agitated, and had knocked several tables over as it meandered through the building. Ivory wondered what they where doing here. It was unlike humans to invite those they perceived as lesser to an occasion such as this, let alone give their pack-animals leave to enter their palaces. Is this another one of 'wit's' witticisms? Ivory wondered. Or.. No, these war-mongering nobles didn't bring them here for some sport, right? ...right?

When news of Sadeas' accusation reached him, Ivory couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Whether true or not, this should occupy Nale for the rest of the evening, if not for several days afterwards. He didn't care much about humans and their politics. Some kinds of Spren enjoyed watching the maneuvering, but to him it seemed like it was just a massive waste of effort for everyone involved. Wits declaration surprised him. He hadn't expected the man to rally to anyone's defense in a situation like this. But then again, Wit had mentioned something about working together with some people on a personal project in a private conversation a while back, so he could very well just be interjecting because he knew the accusation was false.

Ivory wandered the feast hall, sticking to the shadows to avoid being seen. He felt lost. He'd thought he had a good grasp on what he was here to do, but the newest instructions had thrown him off entirely. He started wondering whether anyone had been tampering with those messages, but the only one he reckoned capable of and interested in doing so was clearly otherwise occupied.

Ivory found himself under one of the tables in the feast hall. He was fairly certain he'd gotten rid of Nale somewhere in the art gallery. A quick furtive glance around showed no sign of the Herald, and Ivory let out a sigh of relief. Things out here would be difficult enough without the Herald dogging his footsteps.

Ivory worried. He'd not proven nearly as elusive as he'd expected to be. Though he was beneath the notice of most, others still noticed him even in the deepest shadows. He kept a more careful watch now, determined to not let another of the humans sneak up on him. It was thanks to that increased watchfulness that he noticed the one that had abandoned Justice for Law make his way towards him. Ivory hissed, then quickly started working his way through the shadows away from the former Herald. The man's presence made his given task appear even more foolish, and more desperate. This one herald had done more to damage the cause than any of his brethren, save perhaps Ishar, and Ivory had no intention of treating with the madman.

Ivory kept to the shadows. No one'd notice him there. Then again, he'd doubt the humans would notice or remark on him if they did see him. They'd forgotten so much. They fancied themselves civilized, with their fabrials and their courts and dresses and Shards, yet that arrogance only blinded them more to all they'd lost. And all that they would yet lose in the coming years. A storm was brewing, and the presence of the stormcrow all but confirmed it. He walked the halls, joking, needling, watching. The same man that had watched the Heralds betray humanity, and the Knights Radiant commit genocide. Oh, he'd saved some of his kind at the time, yet he seemed incapable of a simple warning or important interference. He'd saved a dozen or two spren. He could have saved them all if only he'd warned them. Ivory reined himself in. This emotion, this...rancor... was unbecoming of one like him.

So, what's the verdict? Did Mauve pass? My thoughts are if the kandra were to pick one of amethyst or I, then they would have to kill one of us this time, then the other next time. Or if they are lucky, the lynch kills one today, and kandra kills the other. But they could be unlucky, and let killed by the lynch. But if the Kandra tries switching out for an EIB, then they will just let the EIB kill off the last couple refugees assuming they are the kandra. But I think Kandra is Mauve still. Unless you can convince me otherwise.

Whoa! Hold on! Just because I'm the least suspicious doesn't mean that I'm the easiest to impersonate. What about my writing style? I'm going to vote mauve Crocodile because he was currently failing the test designed. If it is determined that he passed, then I would have to change my vote touh I'm not sure who yet.

New post because it's been so long. So really my choices are Amber and amethyst if I want my vote counting toward anything. I will vote Amber vulture because it gives me best chance of survival for longer, and maybe until the end I still have no idea if the "EIB agents" are on my team, or if they're tricking us. Anyway, if there is a next cycle, I don't think I will be extremely active. I'll be busy most of the time

@Azure Mouse you passed. You havn't been abducted, unless you explained that in the doc. Soo... Now I can't vote for you. I don't know who to vote for now though. Edit: I don't really know if there's any point voting against them because they have 3 votes +1 from manipulation. The rest of us combined only have 3. But what if one of them is a kandra? Or what if the kandra takes one of them tonight and they're wrong about who the kandra is?

How do you know that dingo used an ability to target vulture?

That's a good point. All we have to do is convince them that we are more likely to be village than the other two. Unless one of them has been replaced by kandra. Edit: unless they are all elims. Then we're doomed.

I know that I'm just entering IKYK, but I actually claimed that I knew what he meant the very next day. I also think the best analysis of the happenings of the end of C1 was Coral Swan's post. Below is an excerpt. In hindsight, I wish I could have gone over Swan's posts again. C2, he seems very village. I just didn't have time yesterday evening(for me) to do a full analysis, so I decided to trust Cream Tuatara, and vote for Coral Swan with him. On to my other thoughts. Originally, I wanted to lynch Scorpion, but he does bring up a good point. He is the one who discussed the village win condition, and essentially got it correct, so now I'm at a loss there.

Alright, first off, I cannot speak for Amethyst or Amber, but I am willing to try to provide proof as to my alignment as village. It comes from D1, when Magenta albatross said: I nearly immediately responded with I responded with the italics over predicament, as an acknowledgement that I knew he was refugee. Which he was. I knew exactly what he was getting at. Back to the subject at hand: Amber is obviously acting confused, so either they are acting, or they are actually confused. From what I'm getting from Azure mouse's posts, it seems they have a resolute "I've been duped" tone in their posts. The tone I'm getting from Amethyst's posts doesn't seem to be so surprised or confused, even if they did put some words in the post to suggest that. But then again, when you are writing, and reading as opposed to speaking and listening, it's very difficult to judge tone. Now, let's discuss Win conditions and game mechanics. Assuming a 3 person elim team, we can now know for certain that their wincon is not parity. It would have to be outnumber, or kill all informants.(If that hasn't been done yet) Next, assuming that Azure and Mauve are on the Elim team, that means that Tuatara is also on the elim team. There is no way they would have invited Tuatara into the doc, unless it was legitimately an EIB agent doc, and not an elim doc. Tuatara would get to read it from the beginning, and changing the doc just for Tuatara seems like it would be skirting the rules. I find the three person elim team unlikely anymore. Assuming a 2 person elim team, then we have one more cycle until parity. That means we have to catch them now. Azure, and Mauve, and tuatara are most likely cleared if that is the case, which leaves me, Amber, and Amethyst. I've already cleared myself (IMO) so that leaves Amber and Amethyst working together. Then there's the vote Manip. Assuming it's intrinsic, that only leaves Azure as the culprit. But there's also the possibility that they've been trying to frame azure, and it's someone else's action. Now, we also have to consider the possibility of a kandra still running around, like Amethyst mentioned. "...where the kandra at tho?" If there is a Kandra running around, I believe it might be residing in Azure this turn. Something about his RP seemed like it had a slightly different tone of voice @Azure Mouse If you are not the Kandra, what does the V mean? I'm about 99.5% sure I know who your main account is, and revealing what the V means would prove to me that you are still who you say you are. (unless other people also know what the V means. Please, no one disclose it until after Azure has responded though. But after they respond, let me know if you also knew, so that I can see if it is a valid test.) I don't think the Kandra is working alone, and I will have to look into who is the accomplice. For now, though, Azure mouse. I want to put a more educated vote, later in the cycle. It could be azure again, but I don't want to incriminate them yet. Edit:Ninja'd by Mauve, and Amber. My page didn't notify me of your posts. Some things in this post are no longer valid speculations.

Azure mouse I've been betrayed. Seriously though, with the amount of posts sounding genuine, I'm really confused! I'll try to do some analysis in a bit.

I will be keeping my vote on coral swan. If I am correct, then I believe that the others are more on my team than anyone else, so I will keep my vote there, because that's where they have their votes. Maybe I can change my vote if all of the change their votes, but I will be going to bed soon, so it would have to be quick. Edit: like 30 minutes or so.

Can someone do a vote count? I am only glancing every couple minutes, and don't have enough time to review

All I know is that we (vulture and I) can't vote differently than the team we choose yo side with, otherwise our votes are wasted.

With 8 of us left and Amber and I siding with the story that 3 people agree to, that leaves the other 3 with being on the opposite team. The only other possibility is that Amber is pocketing me, but I don't think Amber is pocketing me though. To me, it seems like vulture and I are the swing votes. So it just has to be us, because everyone else seems to be siding in groups of 3

I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but I've got to side with tho EIB. amethyst scorpion Coral Swan I really don't want to make a mistake, but I've gotta go with my gut when nothing else works. Edit: the thing I'm most afraid of is being that guy that's been pocketed by the entire elim team! At this point I've narrowed it down to either crocodile, mouse and tuatara or dingo scorpion and swan. While vulture and I are either right or being pocketed

Guys! I know I've been critical of the claim by cream tuatara, and we've been started voting as if they're lying. But what if they're not? It puts a huge weight on our shoulders. But I think I am willing to trust them. Hopefully I don't make the wrong decision.

But if the elims have a sudden death win condition, then they now know that Tuatara, mouse and crocodile are not fleeing agents, which means it's been narrowed down for them as well. If they have sudden death win conditions, then they only need to kill one other person, and can completely ignore the others. It's now narrowed down to just a few people for the elims as well. If that's the case, then with a three person elim team, then they would have it narrowed down to me and one other player as the last fleeing informant, and I don't want to be killed tonight. I don't like how Amber vulture keeps insisting that this is better for the village. I wish I could look more into it, because it seems oddly suspicious to me, but I don't have time, because of a project I have at work starting in a couple of minutes.

BUT I NEED ANSWERS NOW!!!!!!

Mine doesn't show that he's on. Edit: unless you know who their main account is.

So far all we've heard from regarding your claim is you. And each time you seem to have the right answer. But I think, in order for us to feel more comfortable, we should also hear from Azure mouse and Mauve Crocodile. Do you know when we will be hearing from them?
