I saw this a while back and I've taken it to heart. Despite some people questioning it's validity, it came from the internet, so it's true!

What is the opposite of a ray of sunshine? How does one manipulate the timeline to get what they want? Are you? What is your favorite mode of public transportation Do you remember where your kindergarten best friend lived/lives? Are you smarter than a Fifth Grader? Deal or No deal? What is the Right price? Have you ever fallen down an entire flight of stairs?

I don't know if I have one right now, but in the past it was a song called Hot Problems. Actually, you know, maybe Bromance now, and in the past. Depending on the context, the smile is between a 12 and a 71 (on a scale of 1-100) Never less, and never more. However, usually it spends its time being below 54. I spent about 3 minutes taking time to determine those numbers. I wanted to make sure they most accurately reflected my perception of the emoji.

Short answer 1. What is the hubble constant? (In attempteing to come up with a creative answer, I came across this article) Short Answer 2. What is the purpose and reason behind life, the universe, and everything? (this was a bit more cliche) Long Answer: (And I must preclude this by stating that despite being on my list of books to read, I still haven't gotten around to actually reading hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, Though I still understood the reference. Therefore all of my knowledge at this time is based on a 5 minute google search) (Spoilers for length, with a TL;DR at the end) Based on this quick thought experiment, The question to Life, the Universe, and Everything, is: How do you become, Life, the Universe, and Everything? We strive to preserve ourselves, and our memory, as Life would do. We try to Be as fair as possible, therefore becoming a universe, and we try to obtain everything, therefore becoming everything. This Question begs another question in my head as well. And therefore another possible answer to the question. What if the purpose of Life, the Universe, and Everything, is that those three combined form some sort of computer(like Earth, or Deep Thought), developed by an even more advanced race, and it's purpose is to determine how to become Life, the Universe, and Everything, and the Answer 42 means that Life, the Universe, and Everything is 42% done with it's computation. Thus the answer 42. --------- I think I'll go read Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy now. I also think you asking me that question has caused me to enter into an existential crisis.

I've done this once before, but rather than Necro-ing my old post, I've decided to just start a new one. Go ahead, and ask me anything!

Insensitive

It counted as 2 important items.

Welcome to the forum! What has been your favorite area to read in the forum? Have you done much RP or forum games? I would recommend those as good places to start if you don't already know! My personal favorite area is Sanderson Elimination!

Welcome! It's a great community to become involved in! It's got a bit of everything! If you want theories, there's a spot for that? Role-playing? There's a spot for that. Cosmere-based games? There's a spot for that? Writing help? There's a spot for that. My personal favorite area is the Sanderson Elimination Sub-forum. It's a forum-adapted version of the classic party game Mafia (or Werewolf). And it is by far the funnest (and one of the only super fun) forum-based games I've ever played. If you have nothing else to do, come kill us, and we'll kill you too! Great times!

Hi! You're in the right place! This forum is great! Ditto on where to avoid, but also I just want to let you know that there's plenty of RP forums available if you're interested in that sort of stuff. It's a spoiler risk but, definitely fun. My personal favorite is the Sanderson Elimination Subforum. It's a Forum-adapted version of the popular party game Mafia (Or werewolf) and it sounds kinda weird, but I thought so too, and I actually love it! Everywhere else on the 17th shard is fun too!

I hate to do this, but Spec doc please. I will be busy due to another vacation. However, after this vacation, I'll be available to add to player totals for future games. Edit: I will actually change my sign up to Pinch Hitter. I will not be available for the first week to week and a half, but after that I would be able to help as a pinch hitter if needed.

This game was really fun. It was my first opportunity at being a neutral role, so it was really fun seeing how I would react with different win condiitons than everyone else. Unfortunately, I had a bit less time than I expected, so even though I tried to remain active, I definitely missed out on many rules, which caused confusion not only for me, but also for those associating with me. If I had paid a bit more attention the last cycle that I was alive, I may have noticed that someone else had already gone for the shadowblaze, and attempted to go for something else. Anyway, It was a fun game, while I was alive. Thanks for runnning it Sart.

I've got this crazy paranoia that Alv and xino planned out that kill to get us to trust Alv, when in fact he is also an eliminator. It's a risky move to do, especially with probably only three eliminators. But its something I could see Alv doing. Shqueeves is usually quiet, so that isnt something I'm holding him for, and because he reached out to me asking if he should protect or if I should, I'm leaning more village on him, though that's not necessarily fact. I know that the bribing moves me closer to my goal, but the shadowblaze could be interesting, so I may go for that.

I'm doing absolutely awful at reading my role rules. It turns out I steal a random item. For now, I'm planning on stealing something random from snip. But if I find out that he has a lot of items, I may switch to taking something from the middle. It would be a piece of chalk if I do that .

I am not doing good at reading the rules. I can steal items, so I will probably do that. Edit: Originally I was going to go for chalk. I had put the action in and everything. Now I will be stealing a bribe.

Well, now I'm further from my wincon, to collect 5 bribes/guns, as i used one to survive. So now i only have 1 bribe. At this point, I think the most helpful for the village to do is either lynch me when you dont k ow who else to lynch (making the chalking strength not go up or down), or keep me alive to help keep the voting power against the eliminators higher. We still need to worry about defending the camp. It's obviously best to defend it, but unless something is either coordinated in secret, or at least a couple people have announced someone's willingness to protect the camp, I would not reccommend putting in lone lines of warding, as if we dont protect the camp, it can become a waste of chalk. You should either completely defend or save your chalks for when you are better able to coordinate. The better option is always to better coordinate. ------- Elims, if you dont want to waste an action trying to kill someone who can leave the game in another way, keep submitting the kill, and have the other elims pass me bribes or guns. But beware, I will let the village know how many things I have. I'll be going for chalk tonight, since there isnt anything else I need. Available to me at this time, then in a future cycle, if there still isnt anything else available to me, I'll be able to help protect the camp.

Sorry, devotary, and sorry Snip for moving your vote. I still had a chance to meet my wincon, so I had to take it. So here's what I know about Xino. They are one of the people that said that they would protect the camp N1. I told them what I told the thread, before i told the thread. I also said that if i die at night, Snipexe was the only other one who knew. Now everyone knows, so that's probably null and void. I'll see if I have a chance to read more into xino and determine who he associated with. I wont have time to coordinate another defense of camp, so someone will need to do that.

Bummer. I have very little chance of survival but I think there's still at one vote on devotary so that's my best chance of survival

Well, I tried to stop this from happening, but I have failed, which means my best chance of survival is to come out with the truth. I am a thief. My goal is to obtain five "important" items. When I complete my wincon, i am removed from the game, and the game continues. As far as I know at this point, the only "important" items are the gun and bribes, and I currently have two. D1 and N1 I took a bribe. It is in my best interest that the village survives long enough so that I can get these 5 items, yet it is also in my interest that they dont kill off the elims too quickly. My original plan was to pick up items in the day and help the village at night, since I have no idea who the eliminator are. thinking that I had a piece of chalk like everyone else. (I read the rules and saw that rithmatists and forgotten both started out with a piece of chalk, and so assumed that I also started with one. I was wrong, and found that out when I submitted an action early in the night turn to use a line if warding, and told it wouldn't work, because I have no chalk. But by this time, I had already revealed to xino that I would be protecting the camp that night. I then immediately set out to working on getting two other people to offer to protect to me, and I got two people to offer this, and a third who said if no one else came forward, then they would do it. So i revealed in the thread that i had gotten a second person to help, when really i had two. Then i wanted to make sure that i could stop any rumors getting out there, so as soon as I could, I posted "my version" of what happened, to hopefully answer all the remaining questions, before they had to be asked. I wasn't counting on Snip to have chosen to scan me on the first night. The way you asked the question sounded too accusatory to me. I was fairly certain that you had scanned me, due to I stated that I had claimed that I would be using a line of warding. Then you specifically stated that you wanted my confirmation whether or not I used a line of warding before you responded. --- At this point, everyone knows my role, my plan is to help the village while simultaneously attempting to get the items I need. This will allow the village to get extra help for a few cycles, and the elims wont have to worry about killing me because I'll disappear on my own.

I'll go for the book of duelist

I've had a short PM with Snip, which is causing me to reconsider my thoughts against him. I don't have a solid second person at this time, so I will wait before casting a vote, to see what comes up.

May I suggest that if you take a book, it may be in our best interest to share which book we are taking? Just so multiple people don't go for the same book? Alright, so I know that at least one person is wanting to know who used Lines of Warding last night. Seeing as I was one of the people who revealed that lines were being used, I'll share what I feel comfortable sharing. For privacy, I will wait until later in the cycle before I share the names of who used the lines, just in case they don't want their name revealed. (Though I have no idea why they wouldn't want that. So, I was the one who claimed to Xino that I would use a Line of Warding. So that was the first one. Then, as the night went on, after I mentioned that people could reach out to me or anyone else, I had someone discuss with me whether they or me should put in a second action if no one else had about 2 to 3 hours before rollover. So I also told this person that I had put in the first action. Then I had two people reach out to me stating that they would be willing to protect. So I had 2 people reach out, and one who was willing if no one else could. I got a bit afraid that at least one of the people I was discussing with was an eliminator, and since 2 people knew that I was going to be protecting, and two more people reached out to me, I decided it would be best to let all three, just in case one was lying and didn't actually protect. So then, my post in thread asking if we wanted a third was just a cover-up for the elims, making them still think they had a chance to stop if they happened to be one of the people I had been PMing with, in hopes of giving us a chance to trap someone in the act of trying to let an elim into camp, I never had any intentions of having the fourth person, (who I had declared as the third person in thread) put in an LoW. I was not on with the ability to post near the end of the cycle, so I could not mention to the people who, at the end of the cycle mentioned that they were considering using a LoW to add extra protection in the thread. Anyway. I promised a player analysis as well. I am working on that, and will either edit it into this post or make a new post when I am finished. MEGA ED1T: Player Analysis: Be forewarned, quite a bit of my analysis comes from PMs, but I'll share that which I think is important. Striker: I've got a neutral reading on Striker for now. On one side, they are the only one who reached out to me asking about my unusual behavior in going for a bribe, in the open, on D1, which makes me lean village, but they also stated something else about the chalk that i get a bad gut reading from, despite the comment not sounding super evil. So Devotary: They wanted me to post who My contacts were last minute at the end of last cycle. This makes me lean village on Devotary, as they also expressed worry that I could die without being able to share that information. It makes me lean village, but it also gives me a fading suspicion that they were just trying to find out who to roleblock, and they decided 30 seconds to a minute gave them enough time to change an action if I were to post in thread. It's more of a fear because Devotary has fooled me in the past than anything else. Xino: I'm inclined to trust Xino for now, because he willingly claimed to the thread, like I had asked him to, that I would be putting in an action. Plus we've had some additional PM interaction that makes me lean village on Xino. Butt: Butt hasn't had a whole lot of contribution, but I'm inclined to lean village on them. They reached out to apologize about leaving their vote on me, and provided additional information that gives me a pretty strong village read. Araris: Araris's posts of substance are mostly only during D1, with not much during the night cycle, but their interest seems to be aligned with the village. It's too early to really tell though, as many people align with the village. CadCom: Lumgol: Lum has very little content, so It's hard to put them anywhere except neutral. The expressed willingness to change their action last night is a point in their favor. Though this was mentioned after we already had enough people claimed to be helping with the LoW, so it doesn't necessarily mean anything much. Ventyl: It appears Ventyl has adopted a non-PM policy, at least with me. Which is totally fine. Everyone has different strategies. Anyways. It appears his different posts are analysis posts with regards to the mechanics. I can't really give any elim points or village points to Ventyl Alv: Alv... With a gun... Alv has a gun. Shqueeves: Though he doesn't have many posts in thread yet, I do have a few PM's with him. the combinations of his PMs and his posts in thread come off to me as someone who really wants to help the village out. Snip: I might be being a bit hypocritical with my analysis of Snip, but I find him the most suspicious so far. The first reason is I got a bad gut read off his first post. It came very soon after a vote was placed on him for inactivity. It was as if he was monitoring the thread but not saying anything. I know there's no way to know this for sure, but the tone that I read it as, plus the timing of the post just gave me a bad read. Then the bad read was continued going forward when he stated during the night that he did want at least 3 people to put an action down, but as far as I know, he didn't claim to anyone to want to help. We are still early in the cycle, so I'll have a good amount of time to go about changing this if something does come up, but for now, my vote will stay on Snip. ---- With regards to the new books, I'm certain that many of those books are important, so we should definitely try to pick some of these up. But we also need to make sure we are stockpiled on Acid and Chalk so we can keep defending camp. If we lynch another villager, we will need to use three defenses tonight to protect the camp, unless we decide to just let the first attack slip by. I would prefer to wait to let an attack slip though. And whenever we do let it slip, It should be all out. (For example) if we have to defend for 5, and we don't think we'll be able to do it, we could all just choose not to defend for a cycle, so we can stock up for the next cycle and have plenty of strength to defend one cycle longer. I will be leaving on vacation some time between tonight, and tomorrow afternoon, so it's likely that my post/ reply style will change to being much more brief, however, I don't plan on going entirely inactive. That is the reason I've been trying to so much of my thoughts out early on in the cycle.

Sorry about the double-post, but it's been about 4 hours, and this is significantly new information, that I want people to be able to see it easier. I've had someone reach out to me stating that they would also be willing to do a Line of Warding as well. Actually, I've had a couple people reach out, so confirmed with one person to place the Line of Warding, and I want all of your thoughts to determine whether or not we will need the third person for safety reasons or not.

Hey all! we've got about 10-12 hours left, and we still don't have two people claiming to be protecting the camp. Just One so far, and only Xino knows the identity of that person. In no way do I want to become a mayor-type role, but if anyone is interested in protecting tonight, go ahead and reach out to me(or someone else that you trust) and let them know, so they can let the thread know. Two people is the bare minimum that we need. Three people would keep us safe if the elims got lucky with a block attempt, but I don't think that there's any need to have more than 3. Anyway, I'll try to get up a player analysis. If not tonight, then tomorrow during the day cycle.

It isn't explicitly mentioned, but they do start out with chalk, and some of the chalk actions seem designed specifically so that eliminators can use them, so I would tend to think that they can.
