Theory for your distro musings: What if elims DO have a Coinshot, thing is they’re the only one left - and so they spent their action on the NK instead 4 elims makes sense for a 20 player group, no?

Confusion was becoming regular for H.E.A.R.T.H. Or maybe that was just his battery giving up. He had known for a day now. The charge vessels - composed mainly of nickel and cadmium - were eroding. They had to be replaced. There was just a single problem: that would have to wait until they reached the next port to resupply. Too long. Funny. That was what mortals would call it. After millennia of war and blood and death, this was what would get him. A faulty battery. H.E.A.R.T.H shoved the thought out of his head. That didn’t matter know. He still had time left. And in that time, he would give everything to save this crew. Even if he could not save himself. Fun Fact: I wrote this RP THREE TIMES because it kept deleting. Rusting lack of undo button

Wait wait wait why are we all piling up on Rhino?

@Scarlet Octopus assuming you're responsible for the Elephant death? Also @A Jo in the Bush that was beautiful Petition to publicly execute Azure Mouse for the next writeup? Toucan NOOOOO that's so true Ele's sacrifice will be remembered Lowkey out of everyone I'm okay with that death Gtg

H.E.A.R.T.H had been satisfied with the life he had lived. But now... now he understood how small, how unimportant that life had been. Could it even be called life? How could a short existence of servitude compare to an eternity of war and suffering, of endless fields of passion and rage and vengeance? H.E.A.R.T.H was not satisfied. He would not be satisfied until every last monster was dead. He would not be satisfied until he traveled the Cosmere, got to see the Urithiru Nohadon talked about so much. He would not be satisfied until he got to live.

Stop Stop right now If you use the philosophy of rereading everything, you won’t get anywhere cause you’ll never catch up Skip N1 and read the day Then skip N2 and live in the present D3 H.E.A.R.T.H’s hands trembled as it lifted the perfectly weighted tome from Klin’s hold. ”Thank you.”

I respect all those stances

I feel like Meerkat did some anti-Kanga stuff D1 If we have to kill someone, I’m backing Toucan Edit: For everyone I confused with PMs "The flame charred the boy's soul. The ash erased his past. The pain forged his fury. And though he would fight for far longer, he would never be just a boy again."

MLed?

No Kill Probably furious

What if we get Octo to just... not shoot? Honestly, we're in a great position right now, but because we've got three dead elims and 0 villa deaths, the villa to elim ratio has got to be insane. Octo's shot will almost certainly take out an ally... so why take it? It's not like we're under any imminent pressure

Oh, mb missed that in all the excitement Wait what’s your suggestion about Octo?

BRO I’VE NEVER PLAYED A GAME WHERE WE KILL MORE THAN ONE ELIM Wait how do we know the bad guys have a Kandra? I’m not fully sure about Toucan but I do feel confident there should be an elim on the D2 Octo train somewhere

… WHAT THE HECKHDBELSYXBEKWIHDMD … I can’t believe this I can’t freaking believe this … Also btw to all the people who didn’t understand my PM (it seems everyone) it was supposed to be the ending of the story I was telling in my RP post

H.E.A.R.T.H had lived multiple lives before this one. Of that he was certain. Yet in all the lives, never had he been so unsure. He had fought wars. He had waded through hell, and found solace in suffering. But he had always followed orders. But now... he could no longer follow. For there was no one to give the orders. Now, H.E.A.R.T.H had to choose. Yet he fought it. He wanted to force a tie, because he knew that today, today they might not be so lucky. Today an innocent soul could die. In past lives, he had killed hundreds of innocent souls. It weighed him down, but he could not focus on that now. So instead, he cast his vote, and waited. The halls of the ship were silent. No, not silent. Patient. They knew what was coming. Everyone did. "Toucan." The word rang out alone. And with that, it was yet another tie.Yet another choice of an indecision. Three ways this time. It was not ideal, but it would do. It was done. H.E.A.R.T.H didn't know what else to do. For once, for the first time, he wished for the touch of another, for someone. To be someone. But he could not have that. So instead, he told a story. "This is the tale of a boy." The voice rang out through the comms system, reaching everyone, everywhere, all at once. H.E.A.R.T.H hesitated. The voice was so loud. Then he went on. "This is the tale of a boy, and a girl. "The boy and girl lived in a village. This tale is set in the olden times, times of dirt and blood and wildness. The boy was a warrior's son, mighty and strong. Or at least his father was. The boy was thin, weak, scared. The girl was the mason's daughter, but she... she was strong. And she was never scared. "They grew up together, did everything together. She led, and he followed. She smiled, and he became stronger. With her, he could do anything, and everything was perfect. Then one day, the monsters came. They were small, and pink, and naked. But they were deadly. So deadly. The town burned to the ground, and the monsters took everything. Only the boy and girl survived, because they had gone out to explore and returned to ruins. When they saw the town, they wept, for they had lost everything, and they could never go back. It was all over. But that is not where the story ends. "Then He came. He promised Retribution. And the boy and girl... so little, so pained... accepted. He gave them powers. He replaced their families with weapons, their love with Passion. But it was okay. Because they still had each other. And together, they went to war. "They fought the monsters. They weren't children anymore. They killed, and slaughtered, and got their revenge. But it never changed the past. And then, one day, they got separated. The boy was pulled away, and in his fury, he was stabbed. The girl arrived, and carried him, but she was too late. She smiled down at him, but her face was wet. His face was wet too. And in her arms, he died." H.E.A.R.T.H stopped. "But our story does not end there either. "After his death, the boy went to Damnation. He suffered more than he ever had. In a world of flame and ash and pain, he burned beautifully. And, you see, that was when everything changed."

What Beagle said As for Toucan, I personally really disliked their jump on the Octo train. Ig has been very against the Octo train, and I see world where two elims put themselves on opposite sides of the train in an attempt to distance themselves. It's really not a lot, but it's what we've got

Alright, but using your same logic, why don't you expect everyone to be a rookie instead? Cause I'd expect at least half, perhaps more, of this pool to not have loads of experience. Your outlook is holding everyone to the maximum standard, which for most people won't work. And for the record, I am pretty sure I know who a couple people are and I know a couple people know who I am Dovie'andi se tovya sagain o7

Wait wait wait and it gets more interesting cause after voting Octopus D1 Ig switches up and is the staunchest anti-Octo exer out there But no that makes sense Sticking on Toucan for now, BUT ykw.... I'd be happy on a tie between Toucan and Ig @Sunburst Toucan if you wanna live switch to Ig and I will follow and that will get us a two way tie IMPORTANT If we do achieve a tie (and anyone actually wants to back me up on this) we should aim to do it as long before rollover as possible to give elims the most possible time to react Alright that sounds weird but what I mean is the whole point of a tie is if one of them is elim you force the elims to act and last cycle we didn't get that cause they had no time to act we just got lucky

… k? You’ll be awake for rollover, right? Cause I’m eyeing Flamingo as an alter to Toucan if it doesn’t work out

Justification? Cause the way I see it Weasel played a big part in Kanga’s death Also guys dang I’m beginning to realize how powerful an elim deep wolf could truly be

Quite a bold post from Ig, this was I’m sorry Weasel I think you’re village but I also think the average player isn’t as strategic as you seem to think (no offense to Octo) Don’t like this from Toucan Don’t like this either but don’t expect two elims on one train. Retracted almost instantly anyways Wait I actually get this I think Octopus is saying they learned about Croc’s death via PM not writeup What’s the reasoning for the switch here? Don’t like this Don’t like this either but don’t wanna go after Axl now *slow clap* Flamingo, are you following others or your own gut? Uh oh bro’s changing his mind… yet call me crazy but I think e!Ig should park on a strong stance I see what you did there … Alright I really shoulda read all that earlier but my main suspicion RUGHT now is Toucan, although I’m satisfied with killing Ig or even Elephant (but I don’t want Octo dead and I will die on that hill) Ig willing to back me up on Toucan? Alright I’m going to sleep now but I should be awake for like two hours before rollover so maybe we can torture Jo again (that’s a joke. Hopefully, you never know) I also feel bad for the decline in RP but for me, mainly, it’s a matter of time ‘Night guys Happy killing

Let’s see what happens But I don’t wanna exe our Coinshot

Dingo was suspicious of Croc N1 Flamingo was very defensive of Heron: Alright I wrote the above hours ago its expired I'm not gonna complete it Call me crazy (I absolutely am) but I wanna kill either Flamingo or Ig Going Ig based off current trends Hehe

D1 Summary: Sunday: I poke Mauve Crocodile (10:52 AM) Dragonfly pokes Zebra (10:53 AM) Octopus pokes Meerkat (11:32 AM) Toucan pokes Elephant (11:45 AM) Kanga pokes Croc (12:18 PM) Dragonfly switches to Octopus for reason unclear (1:42 PM) Weasel pokes Dragonfly (1:44 PM) Dingo pokes Iguana (3:06 PM) Iguana pokes Kanga (3:24 PM) Axolotl votes Kanga for RP reasons (3:34 PM) Albatross (*cough* TwinStorm) pokes Meerkat (3:56 PM) Zebra pokes Croc (4:12 PM) Meerkat votes Dragonfly for weird speech (4:18 PM) VC as of 4:20 PM EST Sunday, approx 42 hours before rollover: Croc (2): Gecko (poke), Kanga (poke), Zebra (poke) Dragonfly (2): Weasel (poke), Meerkat (weird speech) Meerkat (2): Octopus (poke), Albatross (poke) Elephant (1): Toucan (poke) Octopus (1): Dragonfly (idk) Iguana (1): Dingo (poke) Kanga (2): Iguana (poke), Axolotl (RP reasons) Octopus switches to Dragonfly for changing vote on a whim (4:43 PM) Kanga votes Dragonfly, presumably backing up Octopus (5:07 PM) Croc votes Meerkat for “instigating the pile” on Dragonfly (6:11 PM) Meerkat switches from Dragonfly to Kanga (7:22 PM). Hey Mr. “I’m always suspicious of those who join trains on C1” that’s what you just did VC as of 9:00 PM EST Sunday, 37 hours before rollover: Croc (2): Gecko (poke), Zebra (poke) Dragonfly (3): Weasel (poke), Octopus (whim vote change), Kanga (back up Octo) Meerkat (2): Albatross (poke), Croc (pile on DF) Elephant (1): Toucan (poke) Octopus (1): Dragonfly (idk) Iguana (1): Dingo (poke) Kanga (3): Iguana (poke), Axolotl (RP reasons), Meerkat (weird vote on DF) So at this point, elims are in a situation where one of their own is in a tie. Let’s see what happens. Elephant votes Meerkat for willingness to change votes (10:35 PM) Beagle pokes Axolotl (10:51 PM) Heron votes Dingo (11:46 PM) Monday: Dingo votes Axolotl for early jumpy votes. VC as of 9:00 AM EST Monday, 25 hours before rollover: Croc (2): Gecko (poke), Zebra (poke) Dragonfly (3): Weasel (poke), Octopus (whim vote change), Kanga (back up Octo) Meerkat (3): Albatross (poke), Croc (pile on DF), Elephant (willingness to change votes) Elephant (1): Toucan (poke) Octopus (1): Dragonfly (idk) Iguana (1): Dingo (poke) Kanga (3): Iguana (poke), Axolotl (RP reasons), Meerkat (weird vote on DF) Axolotl (1): Beagle (poke) Dingo (1): Heron (idk but some reasoning) Beagle votes Elephant for weird accusation against Meerkat. Heron switches to Axolotl. Why? Dragonfly switches to Toucan I vote Dragonfly Croc switches from Meerkat to Axolotl Flamingo votes Axolotl to back up Croc (and not exe Dragonfly) Axolotl switches from Kanga to Dragonfly in self-pres Weasel votes Kanga for weird vote. I like it. I like the push, and I think it distances them enough from Kanga in my eyes. VC as of 11:00 PM EST Monday, 11 hours before rollover: Violet Axolotl (4): Onyx Flamingo, Mint Heron, Melon Dingo, Mauve Crocodile Sunburst Toucan (1): Ivory Dragonfly Sapphire Elephant (2): Sunburst Toucan, Oxblood Beagle Salmon Meerkat (2): Sapphire Elephant, Magenta Albatross Sage Kangaroo (3): Salmon Meerkat, Saffron Iguana, Indigo Weasel Mauve Crocodile (1): Quartz Zebra Ivory Dragonfly (4): Violet Axolotl, Taupe Gecko, Scarlet Octopus, Sage Kangaroo At least the two elims we know are well spread out here. For some reason, Dragonfly decides to vote Axolotl (probably in self-pres), claims Lurcher. Iguana switches from Kanga to Octo. I vote Weasel. Beagle switches from Elephant to Axolotl. Everything after that is my rollover madness Sooooo I just wasted a lot of time putting that together and I don't even get any good results out of it. Great. I'm just really not feeling the analysis this game for some reason But I really don't like the train on Octopus, and I really don't like its arguments. So we're attacking them for claiming? You guys do realize the risk here right? I don't want Octopus dead, sooo... I heavily agree with Rhino's dislike of Meerkat's early behavior, but Meerkat also voted to put Kanga in danger (albeit relatively early in the cycle) so I don't think I can really support that right now Let's see what does happen whenever Kanga is in danger: Octopus switches to Dragonfly, pushing them ahead of Kanga. Kanga also votes Dragonfly. Also, Croc votes Meerkat for their part in the pile; why vote the one who started it with a poke and not the follower, Octopus, or even Weasel? Hmph How did the Axolotl train form? Dingo started it for early jumpy votes. Heron followed I don't know why Croc jumped on And Flamingo did too. Flamingo actually backed up Croc quite heavily. I don't know guys. I really don't know. You'd think that with two dead elims there'd be so much we'd be able to do, but I got nothin'. I've somewhat concluded that the main trains (pre madness) D1 were both village, so elims could be hiding literally anywhere. Main people I'm inclined to vote (but for weak reasons): Dingo (vibes, weird Axolotl train start, old me found them suspicious I don't remember why and that reasoning sucks but oh well) Flamingo (backed up Croc) Iguana (got off Kanga to get onto Octo for weird reasons) I don't know I'm gonna go reread N1 just for vibes Let me know what y'all think, I'm just not feeling it But I don't want Octo dead WAIT WAIT WAIT breaking news Dingo online for rollover But wait nvm cause they were parked on Axl Nvm guys false alarm

Partially through D1 review and I probably won't be finished for a while cause I'mma have to take a break cause my cousins are coming again but I'mma rest a vote on Dingo for now Also Octopus came to me with a theory that the train against them could be somewhat coordinated via PMs. Guys, if this is the case, please tell us. Village transparency is key; the only people who should be conspiring action behind others' backs are the elims.
