I ceased right before I summoned my creative powers. I had been too hasty. "I apologize for my haste. Perhaps we should all either come to a consensus on what we mean by a human, or simply be the sole inhabitants of this realm. Either way I am itching to create something, but my power has diminished since I summoned this meadow and I can't really create without your help."

But why?
-
"Well, from what I remember of my spiritual journey as a mortal, gods were supposed to comfort and guide the mortals, bless them if they paid homage to the god, and maybe send catastrophic events to punish those who disobeyed them every now and then. Now that I think about it though, there are no mortals to guide, bless, or punish. Perhaps if we all worked in union we could create some. EVERYBODY, listen to me. I need you all to concentrate on creating humans for a moment. Maybe 10 will do for now. Get a good diverse mix, then on my count everyone try to create the people that you picture in your mind." I really hope that this does not create some kind of twisted creature. It should work if we all work together right? My thoughts were troubled as I began the count down. "Three, two, one!"

"By that I meant things of perhaps greater relevance and importance than partying and social status. Unless the Partygoer knows something I don't, popularity doesn't much matter in this realm. Cosmic stuff... call it coordinated creation, establishing a government, discovering more about the nature of this place."

Androl and Pavara, all the way. I wish we could see more of them. Their relationship perfectly subverts all expectations, but also has amazing chemistry. They complete each other, and their double bond is fascinating.

I took a look back at LG 81, and you make a valid point. However, it was Mat, a village, who first voted you for my same logic. Danex, an elim, then hopped on that train and pushed for your execution. I would be willing to switch my vote if you are. I am going to keep it on you at the moment, just for self preservation, but I will negotiate.

I plucked a plump, ripe, plum from a tree within my meadow. Convienient that I had created that before creation became more difficult. However, men could not live by plum alone. We needed to work together or else our creative powers could interfere with each other. "Plums anyone?" I asked, then declared, "I think I know what the problem is with trying to make things."

“But this can be a creation party. Food yes. People yes, but also making. Shaping this blank canvas of a universe into something beautiful and vibrant. We could practice by painting at the party. Then get into the cosmic stuff.”

Then think I shall. Here are my reads on all of the remaining players. Sea Dragonet: I feel like I haven't seen him since C1, though looking back he was decently active in C2. He was part of the Venture voting train (as was I, so...). He is new, so I'm gonna cut him some slack. Pretty neutral on the read but leaning toward Elim on gut. Mage: Village, by GM PM Araris: My reasoning from my last post. I probably wouldn't suspect him if he had just been wrong twice, but the fact that he was the leader in both of these votes makes me a bit suspicious. Elim. He is right though when they say that this thread would be dead without him. Elim or not we either need to not kill him, or step up our activity to win. TJ: Voted for Venture out of self preservation. That I understand. Not dying is good. He started out voting Steel last cycle, but switched to TUO. Weren't as ardent about either of those as Araris though. Village? Devo: Claims IRL conflicts and saying everything they need to say in few posts. That's fair. Doesn't really change my suspicion. Everyone was suspicious of them in the past few cycles, though I am not sure why because I really have no idea what I am doing. Something to do with Venture, and when he flipped vil that makes them maybe a little less suspicious, maybe more. Going on gut and a little evidence mild Elim. Tani: Seems quite suspicious to me. The comment about wanting to help the elims could have been in jest, but my paranoia is telling me that it's sus. The question about scepters also seems like too much. That could have been done in a PM. Also she very quickly switched from suspecting Devo to trusting them. All these things are kind of tipping me off. Also her comment about whether sus lists are helping village or elim...well Tani, if you are elim, I hope this list helps you know how to avoid my suspicion. Elim. Steeldancer: His inactivity is notable. Honestly after reading through his posts I don't know what to think, so...neutral. These are my thoughts. It would be good to hear everyone else's.

Araris, sorry gancho. You were the main proponent of both Venture and TUO and they both turned out village. That is starting to get suspicious. I am open to changing my mind, but that is where I currently stand. Also, in response to your comment last cycle about whether C1 votes matter: your logic convinced me. The C1 votes should matter, because at some point it went from random chance to Danex is gonna die.

Two items of business that I feel I need to share with you.
First, ONE WEEK UNTIL THE WHEEL OF TIME TV SHOW!!! It was actually the show that convinced me to read WoT in the first place. Early 2020, I had been a Sanderfan for a little less than a year, and had read the entire cosmere. I was on Sanderson's website, and saw that he had toured the set of WoT. I had known that he had written the last few, but this finally convinced me to read them and I am so grateful it did because Wheel of Time is one of history's greatest fantasy series.
Second, where I live there was a super thick fog this morning, and I was about 49/51 on skipping school to go run around in my homemade mistcloak.
I have no more items of business. Thank you for your time.

Please elaborate. I'm not sure I follow your logic. Also, I'm not sure that the people who voted C1 should be relevant because by the rules of this game someone is going to die every day even without a majority. Therefore those who voted C1 are the ones who didn't want randomness. That could be village or elim, because if no one voted everyone had an equal chance of dying.
-
Considering the current evidence I will vote Steel. Someone please change my mind. This is based on their early activity, then current inactivity. Their vote on TJ was interesting. My gut feeling wants to suspect those who voted Venture, because he turned out Village, but considering that I voted Venture that doesn't make much sense. Most of this vote is gut feeling, so if you believe I am wrong present me some logic and I will most likely change my mind.
-
How did you get to be 6'5"? I'll tell you right now that it definitely doesn't work anymore.
-
Hmm. I like the theory. In fact, this makes more sense than using a physical vacuum to block the rhythms. It's hard to say how strong the rhythms are and how powerful of a coppercloud you would need to separate the investiture enough to invert it, but this theory sounds plausible to me.
-
Thank you! The compliment means a lot. My co-host and I divide up the writing work, and that was my writing so I feel a personal connection to that episode.
-
Well maybe we shouldn’t look into it too much so we can keep the switcher’s identity secret to the Elims
-
Alright. If it is, what would be the motivation for a seemingly pointless move like that? Perhaps some villager wanted to ensure Venture was exed because they deeply believed they were Elim/Forger
-
Interesting thing I noticed on the vote count. Someone moved Venture’s vote on TUO onto Venture. I’m not sure what the rationale behind that would be since it looked like Ed Venture was a done deal decently early on. So someone with the power to change votes did. Anyone with more experience want to analyze that?
-
haha whoops How much do all of the Sanderson leather-bounds cost? Which state do you think has the prettiest scenery?
-
No one asked another question so I’ll kick us back off. Answer to the unasked question: with lots of hot sauce. A little more serious, but what is the first step in your personal problem solving process?
-
I’m surprised Danex turned vil. Even reading back knowing that they were innocent I suspect them. Bad vibes from last time probably. @The Unknown Order I apologize for suspecting you. Looking back you aren’t suspicious (watch as they turn out Elim). I think I’ll go Venture they seem a little suspicious. We need to keep an eye out on Araris though. They are pushing really hard for a Venture exe and I can’t help but feel manipulated.
-
Before voting I’m going to review C1 and also the different roles, but I’m thinking Venture or maybe TUO. I’ll make a more informed decision tomorrow morning.
