Well, It seems we go through this again. Granted the last couple of games my playstyle has changed significantly, but I attribute that to changes in my real life. Last game I was under suspicion for nearly the entire game, and somehow managed to survive to the end where I was finally able to prove my alignment. I am afraid that I will not be able to pull that off again last time, as I'm not sure how I did it last time. Anyway, let's get to some of the concerns brought up against me. First of all, my activity levels. Yes I have been fairly less active over the last few days. I have always explained that weekends are really bad for me. I realize that activity overall goes down during the weekends, but I am lucky if I can spend more than just a couple of minutes on SE at a time. The next major point is my vote on randuir, and me over explaining it. Looking back at the post, it does seem a little contrived, so I can't argue with the logic behind the votes due to that post. But Hopefully, I can add additional information to the discussion. As of now, the village has lost a thug 1, a smoker 2 and a soother 2. The thug really is a blow, as that was a really good role to have for the village. The good thing about the thug is if their action is successful, they are able to survive to verify who they protected if it isn't revealed in the write-up. With this many roles in the game, we can't be sure if there is another Thug 1 in the game, but it would sure be nice. If there are any other Thug 1's we need to try to keep them alive, but I think that this is unlikely. The smoker 2 can be helpful, but I honestly don't feel like it does that much either way. Granted a smoker 2 has the possibility to get lucky and do just the right action on just the right person to determine if that person was an elim or not, but it seems like most the time this acts as more of a protection role than a scanning role. The Soother 2 would have been a pretty good role to have in the game still, in my opinion as well, as roleblocking a person can help determine an eliminator or SK if they can block the person who submitted the kill. Or at least a soother 2 could stop Zane using coinshot. I'm not sure if the elim kill is submitted in through the group doc, or if one of the group must submit it as an action. @Fifth Scholar, could you verify that? ------------- I have more thoughts regarding the write-up, especially as regards to what appears to be coming from Joe, or other secret players, but I don't have time right now, so hopefully I can come back to that, as well as a bit of player analysis early-ish tomorrow
-
I can rp unless Joe can get in touch. @A Joe in the Bush, could you please continue RPing this role in whatever doc or thread that you are able to communicate in. I would like to read about the struggles you have to meet with me and anyone else once the game is over and I am able to read all the secret docs.
-
Oh, I just relooked at my GM PM, and I actually did get a message from the mist. It's the same message ark got. Edit: so far, it looks like lum, steel and adavantos have used emojis. Could it just be a coincedence?
-
I take it you aren't mistborn then? Edit: oops, I meant to edit this in, not double post. But while we're at it, @fifth scholar, what is the rule in this game regarding quoting from the GM PM?

Ah man, I didnt get any secret messages. --- Cadoxi awoke early the next morning, knowing it would be a busy day. He had scheduled to finish most of the second batch of breast plates today. After he prepares his tools, he headed out to grab some breakfast. To his surprise, a young boy was sleeping against the crates outside his house. Nudging the kid with his foot woke him up. The kid immediately sprang up! With all the excitement a 10 year old can have, he exclaimed "A note from your tailor, sir!" The boy slipped him an envelope, and stuck out his hand. Cadoxi gave the kids a few boxings. He added a couple more than normal for the child's persistence, and the child scurried away. As cadoxi read the note, he silently cursed. He didnt have time for this. How could he meet with his potential obsidian supplier if he didnt even have time to finish Elends order. But he had no choice. The meeting was already scheduled for 2 hours from now, and it was a good hour walk across the city. Adding in cleaning up, and breakfast, he would have to hurry. --- Two hours later, Cadoxi found himself at the Survivor's square. All he had to do was find the man he had to meet with. Now where did he stache the note? He had to remember the code phrase. @Snipexe wasn't Joe going to be the obsidian supplier? I guess we'll have to RP for him unless we can establish communication with Kelsier in some other way. Unless someone else wants to be the obsidian supplier? ------ I'll add actual dame thoughts tomorrow hopefully.

@Snipexe I'll respond to the RP later, I just dont have time right now. rand I was also going to vote bard [/color for similar reasons, but got ninjad by rae.
-
I'll sign up, because I don't want to miss the final Steel game for over 2 years. (You will be coming back to SE after your mission, I hope?) I hope to be able to play actively, but for now, I won't sign up with an RP name, so I don't commit too much time, just in case I don't have as much time as I hope.
-
Oh, I also wanted to say that I suspect Joe is kelsier, since he's not showing up anywhere. Or he could be Hoid. In that case we have no idea what his intentions are
-
I mean, I can't really disagree with the reasoning, just the conclusion. Unfortunately, there's nothing that I can do on D1 to disprove it. However, I can add that the reason I voted on Rand was only partially due to his first post, and partially that it was just a gut feeling. A gut feeling that his further posts seem to help me alleviate. At this point, I won't remove my vote, but when I have time to do an additional read-through, I will most likely remove my vote from him at that time

Hmmmmmmmm...

Oh Good, "Cadmium, CadCom, and Cadmium Compounder" All have M's So That's one person who won't vote for me. Unless they just vote for Cad, or CadCo Anyway, The main thought I have on the game right now is that of the voting mechanic where, if Elend is Lynched, the Elims win. It's already been discussed that a fair amount of voting activity is needed to prevent that. However, I also believe that an elim hammer would be a risky strategy, unless they can confirm that all of them will be able to be on at X:59, the minute before rollover, because when I'm able to be online at rollover time, I've noticed that there are usually also a few villagers, so pulling an elim hammer could potentially put them all at risk. This is also a call out to anyone who is available, please be online near the end of the cycle, to help prevent an elim hammer. Anyway, we're about 12 hours in, and We have an interesting vote count so far. HemHead(1) Steel Ark (1) Araris Randuir (1) Ark Lumgol (1) Fura CadCom (1) Bard Straw (1) HemHead Straw (1) Stick Xinoehp (1) Stick Sidenote, Either I missed it, or it's not there, @Fifth Scholar, Could you confirm when rollover will occur? I don't want to have 10 votes sperad across everyone, then have the elims march in and have a d1 hammer, so I think it's about time to start voting on people already on the list. If the list gets much bigger, it will be spread very thin across many people, instead of converging on just a few. I also don't have any suspicions about really anyone at this point. Randuir. Call it a gut feeling.

I'm going to make a prediction When the game actually starts, most people will ignore the fact that they were all trying to kill you before the game started, and will only kill people they find suspicious
-
Meanwhile, Cadoxi finished mounting the wooden portion onto the 15th breastplate. If there were no coin shots or lurches, metal would be much better. But that thought didn't so much as cross Cadoxi's mind because he never knew anything of life outside Scadrial.
-
@Alvron if we all get multiple roles, will we be able to perform multiple actions in one turn? Also, it looks like I'll avoid using six lettered words.
-
As Cadoxi took a late night stroll back to the armory, he happened to glance down an alley, and saw what appeared to be a crazed mistborn jump at another man with a spike. Perhaps that man is actually using hemalurgy. Cadoxi thought. Best not to get involved. And he continued his stroll. When he arrived back at the armory, he noticed that while he was gone, he had received a new order of breastplates and spears from Elend Venture himself. 55 new breastplates, and 100 new spears. A typical order size, however, the deadline was only 10 days away, significantly quicker than the typical 15. "I'm not going to have much time to scavenge for spare obsidian this week, Snip will have to suffice with a smaller shipment than normal next week." Cadoxi mumbled under his breath as he began to gather the supplies for the breastplates and spears.
-
The potential for this is endless. You could literally just make it completely random, and if it's unbalanced, oh well, a new game will eventually be run. Or you could spend some time actually trying to balance roles, or choose between 3 randomly generated role assignments to determine which is the most balanced.
-
Cadoxi followed Snip's directions and found himself in a small back office, waiting for the shopowner to arrive. Cadoxi knew that he would need a new wardrobe. Despite being of noble descent, he did not dress the part, having associated with more Skaa throughout his life than actual Noblemen. He preferred his more rugged look of a well-to-do Skaa than the look of a lower-class nobleman. It just fit his personality a bit better. After a few minutes, Snip arrived and sat down at his desk. Cadoxi began, while Snip was still organizing a few papers. "As you know, Snip, Elend does not know that I have this side business, and I believe if we want to profit from this for any extended period of time, we must keep it that way." He paused, "but I feel it only fair to inform you that you are protected under Elend's new laws of privacy for businesses. As long as you do not make it look like you are doing anything illegal, you can sell these shears at your will. I am running into problems with supply though, so you shouldn't expect more than about 40 pairs per size each week. At least not for the next few months. Does that make sense?" Cadoxi finished.
-
"Exceptional," Cadoxi responded. "Shall we head to a private room in the back and get those measurements then?" Cadoxi responded.
-
It had been nearly a week since a deal had been struck with the fabric shop, and Cadoxi's first shipment of scissors should have been available for sale today. It was time to formally introduce himself in person to his business associate. Walking up to the shop, he saw what looked like good news. There were crowds of people on the street. It seemed like a busy day in this part of Luthadel. That was good. More people to spread the word. As he entered, he had the pleasant greeting of a few quiet shoppers spread around the store, and another person leaving with a package that appeared to carry a pair of 14-inch long obsidian Shears. Almost certainly the Omega-large. He didn't understand the purpose of that size personally. But people sure liked to buy large, so he agreed to make them. Personally, he preferred the 10-inch, Medium. The shears were all easily detachable, to be used as daggers, or atachable to be used as simple shears. Turing his attention back to the store, he noticed that there was an unusual amount of satin available for sale. Are times really that bad? Cadoxi wondered to himself. It was a good thing Cadoxi always made his own clothing out of the scrap leather at the armory. He always had leather outfits, and most of the time, his outfits could have passed for fine leather. At last, there was a break at the front counter, so he approached the man that must have been Snip. "Mighty fine shop you've got here" He began. Does any of your apparel have hidden pockets capable of holding a medium sized self-defense weapon?" That was the code phrase. As long as the man was Snip, and Snip recognized the code phrase, they would be able to more freely discuss the more...questionable... parts of their business. @Snipexe

Oh. Bummer. I shouldn't have made a strawman then and kept trying to be first heightening instead. -
Quick Fix Game 37: Black Shadows in T'Telir
CadCom replied to Young Bard's topic in Sanderson Elimination
So we win if you're elim. If you're village, (which I doubt) then if the elim gets off a kill, we are at 1v1, which means that the elims win due to no one dying in a toed lynch. Unless the strawman blocks the kill, then it's still 2-1, which is enough to lynch the remaining eliminator. And if I have a 50/50 chance of hitting the elim, then it's a 50/50 chance of winning. -
Cadoxi was a loyal armorer. He would never betray house Venture. But Straff was so corrupt. He ditched that old man as soon as Elend showed any promise of potential. Now Elend had stood as the most powerful figure in the entire dominance. Cadoxi knew he'd chosen well when he left Straff. But loyalty didn't mean he couldn't have a side hustle. Cadoxi had been planning for years to create a successful business. One that he didn't have to report to Elend himself. With the upcoming war, many smaller local businesses were beginning to lose hope of survival. Desperation was a gateway for willingness to try new things. Executive's Scissors was the perfect place. No one would expect an illegal side hustle of small weapons to come through a local quilt and fabrics shop. Cadoxi sat down to write the letter. Perfect. Vague, yet intriguing. Surely Snip would take the bait. Cadoxi sealed the envelope, and placed a return address on the front, and slipped it under the back door of the quilt shop. ---- Ninja'd by Lumgol

CadCom replied to Young Bard's topic in Sanderson Elimination
I'm following in Maill's footsteps here. kidpen. Even though I've been suspicious of maill, I've held off voting for him, because he indicated in PM a while ago, that he was attempting to lynch Steeldancer the cycle before he actually got lynched. I've also been quite suspicious of Joe, for reasons I can't quite remember without going back to my big analysis posts, but since he's the only one who has claimed to use roleblock so far, I am forced to believe him. And that only leaves kidpen. I did make a strawman last cycle, so I plan on using him on one of the other two, to give us a 50/50 shot in case we're wrong. -

Great! Now we just need to know who it was that roleblocked Rand, and we can really narrow this down. I'm thinking that from my point of view(which seems very likely after last cycle), if I am to trust that maill is village, and that I am village, if maill just confirms who roleblocked Rand, then the other of Joe and kidpen is evil.
