I probably could do it in November, but before that would be dicey. Fifth can obviously have it, and anyone else as well honestly

1. You spelled my name wrong 2. Why are you voting me?

Cool thanks Araris

Nah. I mean, we signed up for this. Blackouts always have a huge “play at your own risk” sign.

Honestly fair lol To both paragraphs :P.

My theory was that e!Araris was trying to get an extra complaint death though Like in no world does e!Araris complaint bus e!Frustration I guess if you're postulating that only one of them is evil that works. Which was Araris' whole math, actually :P.

Just trying to figure out why you tried to vote Araris and also sheeped his Frustration complaint ig Okay @Frustration filter dodging doesn’t count as posting @STINK can you start playing now @The Known Novel this is now the third D3 and I would very much like to see this drastic content increase I keep hearing about everyone else keep on talking, it makes the game winnable. A silent game is an elim victory.

Other people being just Araris, I was against complaining myself. Did you mean to vote Araris in your last post last turn? I couldn’t tell.

The GM did say not to trust them? :P. Who’d you use it on? Was it the first complaint you’ve casted this game?

Oh yeah that was super sus I forgot he did that lol Edit: I assume complaints can't go through if nothing else does.

Actual post: What makes you say that? Assumption alert! Not a proven fact! We have NO idea :D. :D. :D. ..What does that even mean? Of course it is. It's red. Our wincon is killing them. That's an elim faction. That is the definition of blackout, actually :P. Yes but also reads and finger pointing and blaming is the whole pooooooint ONLY if it's a role not specifically mentioned in the known rules. RBers and protectors, do not claim. @Frustration what did you claim I forgot :p.

no stop i cant szeth do this again :|

I dunno, but that wasn't my main point. It also was partially just me not understanding how a player of your caliber could legitimately have zero reads going into exlo-- like, you said that, and I kind of just don't believe it, blackout or no. As for the rest, yes, I do see those things as alignment indicative. Elims like to keep their options as open as possible. You've definitely been doing that. Sure, but Mark didn't look like an honest reevaluation. You had an unexplained village read on him, but that became virtually irrelevant the moment I voted him. I don't think you can claim your Mark read changed directly because you reread the thread and changed your mind, or at least it didn't sound like that's what you did. I don't quite agree with that, and I can spin it back-- unless you are 100% confident we are complaining an elim, the village loses the game. A misexe here leaves a night turn where anything can happen. There's a whole IRL element to this game we don't know about yet. Time travel happened. RBers and protectors exist. A night turn is better than no night turn every time. Plus, nine times out of ten, math is an elim tell :P. This is a proven ratio tbh and is completely foolproof. (At least, I certainly have used math as an elim to push for something). The only point in your favor here is that, theoretically, a 3 man team wouldn't need to get the village on board to complain, but maybe it's not a 3 man team. Maybe the elims know something about complaints we don't. There's too much ambiguity for that to be a strong reason to v read you doing something I think is elim sided. I mean, I kind of already did that, in my initial response to that post. Sorry this post was late in coming. Had things to do.

You forgot one of your biggest suspects existed?

Just that reads list post where you kept voting me even though the post itself didn't necessarily support that I didn't think came from an elim mindset. It only was so strong of a read because it was basically the only read I had; no one else had enough content (other than Sart, who I'm so bad at reading correctly I shouldn't even try).

Nah okay Mark, Araris I don't think so. I guess I should do that. Shorthand version is that you flew completely under the radar for the first few cycles, playing as minimally as possible, and only started ramping up in content after I called you out on it. While the content is good, I think you've been fairly openminded as far as exe candidates go, and not in a good way-- I'm thinking of things like your previous post, where you walked back your v read of Mark to signal you would vote there only after I did first. Additionally, that post where you analyzed the VCs felt contrived and forced, I didn't think the conclusions you presented fit the data. And you've been pushing for a complaint vote today, an action that, if unsuccessful, may result in an immediate village loss. See above. I don't think killing multiple people today is a good idea when we're not sure about anyone. Killing two people wrong is likely an instant loss. One of your biggest suspects? Never mentioned that before :P.

Gah Mark @Araris Valerian why did you v read him again?

It is a big turn off for me. I get more exhausted playing a low active game than a hyperactive one. I’d rather have another QF50

I am fighting a gut e read on Mark primarily because I don’t think it’s helpful but it is there I guess. I wish he’d stop voting a dead villager, mainly.

Sart MVP and I’m bad, that’s pretty much it :P. I made a quick read and didn’t rethink, also pretty hard for me to analyze with two pages and the only person telling to rethink being my vote but that’s a me problem. I knew my logic was good though :P. Totally would have worked.

Congrats Stick!!! It goes without saying that you did our community proud <3 had a lot of fun following the season and rooting for you, top 3 and jury for next year is hype!

??? No??? It’s an implication that im tired and lazy though Voting the GM is not the move, either. We don’t win by that. Again I think you’re village but you need to play for your wincon if that is the case and village wincon is only dead elims

Bro just give me a VC please I actually do not have the time or patience to do it myself :P.

My best guess is that complaints also activate some reset that like maybe wipes the actions of the people complaining? I was going to say that I thought it wiped everyone's actions but we know that people still tended to the tree N2 and it worked so idk Araris (unrelated to the above) @Szeth_Pancakes VC please

I think it's just it resets every two cycles, so this being D3 everyone has full stock of complaints.
