Ookla-son-son-Ventyl

If you're wondering this a new cosmere copypasta.

I will make my glorious return as Ibonek Naw-ibo, A Dude In The Wrong Place, who totally does not have a Shardblade.

From the moment the first primeval Neanderthal picked up a sharp rock and used it to eviscerate his prey, man has sought ways to use his surroundings to augment his own abilities. Not that much has changed over the millennia. Peg legs had become prosthetic limbs, and spectacles had been replaced with cyborg optronics. But the main ideas remained constant: displeased with what fate allots us, we bend nature before our will, becoming more than we were intended. Among all of God’s creations, only man takes offense at his lowly state.

Along with our drive to change ourselves, there comes with true human paradoxical form the uncomfortable fear that we have gone too far. Through the ages, we have fabricated horrors to match our increasing supremacy over nature. Monsters, golems, mad robots, and horrors haunt our collective technological unconsciousness. Twisted mixes of flesh and metal, obscene misuses of nature and her creations. We push ourselves to be better and better, more in control and dominant. But at the same time, we sweat and worry that this time, we’ve gone too far.

We finally have. I’m the final step, the ultimate synthesis of what is natural and what is profane. One last grand adulteration. I’m the culmination of our feats, a Frankenstein’s monster for the modern 23rd century. I am without parallel in life or imagination. I am Zellion.

I might have to postpone my LG until the summer of next year. I’m just too busy right now, and probably will be even during next semester cause of both school and the eight million different band things I’m doing. Expect a return of Ventyl though during the summer! Maybe I’ll play a game over my winter break, but no promises.

Next up on the LG list are - 

1. @Fifth Scholar
2. @Ventyl
3. @Straw
4. @Ashbringer
5. Myself

I'll also tag @Orlok Tsubodai if he wants to run the game as he's actually on the top of the list.

I make an appearance after who knows how long to say that I won’t be able to run my game any time soon. At least not until my Christmas break. So if anyone wants to go before me, that’s fine.

I’m offended you’d put my name in a shade of orange, so close to being red that if the reader did not have the proper Heightening they’d assume it to be red, but behold, they would be bamboozled as the color is orange, to indicate that you view me as someone who you, Matrim’s Dice, hold with the upmost suspicion. Although I’m quite contrary to this development, I would say that it’s no out of the the realm of possibilities for me to be flattered by you’re accusations, which you offered no grounds for. I believe you’re actions so far to be very suspicious indeed, Mr. Dice, would you care to explain your thought process behind putting my name in a shade of orange, so close to being red that if the reader did not have the proper Heightening they’d assume it to be red, but behold, they would be bamboozled as the color is orange, to indicate that you view me as someone who you, Matrim’s Dice, hold with the upmost suspicion? If you do so, I will be most gleeful, as I’m particularly fond of living—I find it suits me well, much like a finely tailored suit fits firmly around my shoulders and waist. 

(Alright, that’s my 206 words of game analysis/talk that will most definitely continue to frustrate Striker—for which I’m most sorry, but got to make a living somehow)

Dang, there goes my plan of never reading the thread and only playing in PMs...

Experience Ventyl

I'm being blackmailed in PMs. I'm not sure if it's joking or not, but it's uncomfortable.

this is actually false, everything in pm was for comedic value

edit:

experience

if only for the sake of my survival.

edit 2:

might i even add that everything i have done and will do in this game has been for comedic value

Ok, so I just asked Ventyl if they wanted to trade roleclaims, and they said yes. Then, I roleclaimed, and they refused to repeatedly answered "Yes" to each of my posts. I would say that this is more than a little suspicious, and I will welcome any votes that come towards my cause.

Just now, Szeth_Pancakes said:

Azmine Ventyl

Please don't do that.

The rest of you are getting no context

Yes.

(RP that Striker will hate me for)

Lafay “Spicy Buttermilk Pancake Grand Chef of Silverlight Extraordinaire” Etteax, wore a patterned cloak colored red, a slightly darker red, another lighter shade of red that could almost be called pink if one didn’t have enough Breath to tell it wasn’t pink, orange, burnt orange, pastel orange, piss yellow, sunshine yellow, lemonade mixed with water yellow, barf green, normal green, a green so green all you can think is “wow, that’s green,” forest green, sky blue, baby blue, dark blue, navy blue, ocean water blue, that weird purply/green/pink color thing you see all those cool knifes colored in, purple, light purple, indigo, violet (but not like the flower), violet (but like the flower), a red so pink that if you didn’t have enough breath you’d think it was red (but it’s actually pink), on the day he was to bake the largest batch of Spicy Buttermilk Pancakes that mankind or kandrakind had ever seen. The cloak was unfamiliar to him, but he did as his eccentric—but not too off the wall—lightspren, Ola, demanded. 

His full aluminum cast-iron frying pan sat comfortably in his backpack as we meandered through the streets of Garmet. He didn’t much care for the grim of the now isolated city getting on his nice new chasmfiend skin boots, but what could you do? The people of the city were in an even more destitute state than his boots. Moral, food, and present leaders were all low. However, if Lafay could do anything, it was cheer up a crowd—mainly through use of his patterned cloak colored red, a slightly darker red, another lighter shade of red that could almost be called pink if one didn’t have enough Breath to tell it wasn’t pink, orange, burnt orange, pastel orange, piss yellow, sunshine yellow, lemonade mixed with water yellow, barf green, normal green, a green so green all you can think is “wow, that’s green,” forest green, sky blue, baby blue, dark blue, navy blue, ocean water blue, that weird purply/green/pink color thing you see all those cool knifes colored in, purple, light purple, indigo, violet (but not like the flower), violet (but like the flower), a red so pink that if you didn’t have enough breath you’d think it was red (but it’s actually pink). Indeed, the glances and gazes of the street urchins, whores, businessmen, and midwives alike told him that he was making a difference. Sure, they might think he was an idiot, but idiots are funny (unless you’re one of them).

Lafay hummed happily with satisfaction as he continued his walk through Garmet with no particular destination in mind.

Now, all he had to do was the get the people, to throw some fruit at him...

Biplet

For no other reason than the fact you’d even suggest I’m not lazy and actually read through the thread!

Still looking for that summary of what’s happened this game so far...

Wow, I exist, surprisingly... 

Not sure what’s happening right now as I just skimmed through the thread quicker than Wayne cracks a dirty joke. If anyone would like to sum up this games Day One madness for me, I would greatly appreciate it. Though, to be honest, it’s Day One... I doubt anything too important as happened.

The Lafay Etteax is back on Scadrial once more! What new abilities will he pick up this time? Will he add another spike to go along with his gold one? Will he down that Lerasium Bead? Will he become the Medallion Collector? Find out on the next episode of...

Sanderson Elimination

I shouldn’t... but hey, this starts after my midterms... so, I’ll sign up.

Knowing my role makes that a little weird.

I mean we could team up! 

@Kasimir

Are Lurchers told whether or not they are successful in protecting someone? Or is just said in the writeup, “__ was attacked but survived”

I'm not saying I think you're sus because of your role. I don't care if you're a smoker or not. I care about if you're an elim or not.

What's making me sus is that you've claimed your role. Okay, that's all good. You said you'd turn off the coppercloud so someone could scan you. Okay, also cool. But now you're bringing up the fact that an elim smoker could smoke you to make you appear as a vanillager, like the elims would be trying to frame you in that case. But like...if you're village, it saves the elims a lot more resources if they just...kill you. Like, they want to smoke their own players more than they want to try and smoke you. Like, sure there would be a benefit in theory to smoking you and trying to throw shade your way, but there is more benefit in smoking their own players and making sure at least two of their players show up as vanillagers instead of an elim. So...I think this is all an elaborate ploy to give you a reason to come back as a vanillager if someone scans you. And of course, if/when it happens, you'll claim the elim smoker smoked you so...idk man.

Then I ask to be scanned again!

EDIT:

Or I’ll just be murdered and then y’all will know for sure I’m village

Just now, StrikerEZ said:

....you're really not helping yourself, bro.

I had put you solidly in my village pile, because I was thinking "well, he'd get outed pretty fast if he came back as a vanilla villager or an elim obviously, so this claim must be true!" but like...now you're being all IKYK-y, so...I don't know anymore.

Oh no.

Not this again...

Man, this is why I hate getting roles that are determined by the meta to be more valuable for elims

Shakes fist angrily at Kas 

1 minute ago, Matrim's Dice said:

Not to be the paranoid one here but you also could be said elim Smoker :P. Can’t trust a word until you come back as v smoker, just like everyone else...

Now, but if I scan and come back as Village Vanilla, then don’t I just make myself look stupid?

By the way, if my scan comes back as Vanilla Villager than we know there is an elim!Smoker using their cloud on me!

@Seekers I’m turning off my coppercloud tonight, so please scan me! 

Also, I couldn’t have been vote manipulated, as I was not able to turn my coppercloud off yet. Due to the rules.

Okay, here are my reads just based on watching all of you go at it:

Village:
Gears (Giving good advice. More specifically, pointing out that the reasons for voting Illwei are confusing)
Illwei (For the first time in recent history)
Quinn (Can’t believe I have you as village with Illwei!)
Biplet (New player who seems confused. You’ll be okay, I promise. If it really comes down to it, punch my brother)
Ventyl (For obvious reasons, Seekers can confirm during the night)

Elim:
Books (This is only slightly, but they are the most suspicious. Something seemed off when I read their post earlier, and Gears helped me put my finger on it)
Maybe Striker (Could be distancing from Books? Idk, but I also want to think him and Biplet are the same alignment. But maybe Kas is satan and wants to watch them kill each other, who knows?)
Pyro (I can never read him as village, unless he’s mechanically proven to be. Not sure why though)
TJ Shade (They gotta be evil one day, right?)

Null:
Everybody else!

Hello, I have finally arrived!

The only thing I have to say right now is that I am a Village Smoker. I am turning my Coppercloud off. Seekers, feel free to scan me!

There's only one Ruin around here, Drash  

Indeed.

Ah. I see you caught me in my lie, dear friend.  After all, is not Ruin my favoured lord? Is not Ruin who I have always fought for? Murdered for? Betrayed for? Sung for? Ruin is, and by extension, you, true, not evil incarnate, as far as I am concerned. Ruin is, as you have just described, a facilitator, one who gives those who follow him the means to ruin. And you know I would do it all again if you grant me such a blessing. Grant me the tools and you know I will lay waste to those who are against me. This I swear, ancient one.

O.O

My attention has been caught.
