Y'know this is actually a really good question... I wasn't trying to hide my tone at that point, no. I think I saw more maybe actual reason behind my push, or I could sort of see where it was coming from more? I think that one also came as less of a sudden thing. And I won't deny that, like, the more I almost get misexed D2, the more annoying it is the next time But I don't really know, that's a self meta question I can't answer. I'm bad at self meta lol. Ok I really need to figure out a coherent reads list but then I also have productive things I should be doing oh well this won't take too long That's where I'm at right now. The small last tier makes me almost confident that someone in my village group shouldn't be there. I'll try to figure out that but I want a red flip before I try to come up with anything. I like player linking analysis. EDIT: Well, I'll still try to figure it out if that red flip doesn't come lol but it'd be easier if it did I kind of want to switch Archer/TJ with Dalinar/TUO. They're all about the same, I guess. Tani/Kas/Devo are all just true null with no difference between them.

Mat (2): TUO, Dalinar Illwei (1): TJ Chantara (1): Kas Squirrel (1): Archer Kas (1): Mint Archer (2): Illwei, Devo Mint (1): Mat TJ (1): Esooa Kinda sad considering the cycle ends in less than two hours. I actually won't be on for the last ~30 minutes, so I hope it doesn't get too swingy :P.
-
Nah I'm moving to Mint, final answer. Unless I need to self pres. @Frozen Mint (and everyone) The iffy vibe you mention here likely is a product of suddenly being up for exe. It caught me off guard and my tone conveyed that, and I'm trying to dial it back
-
Yeah :P. Illwei is the only candidate I feel remotely good about and I don't really.
-
Archer, you're the only person I know with your playstyle.
-
That's just a part of my read. An elim wouldn't go for the additional win since it requires the village to win first, and everything Elk has done has been in line with going for that additional win. Of all the suspicious Az votes you pick the one person I have a village read on .-. What's that supposed to mean :P.
-
I'm nearly confident Elk is village now. Reading their responses to everyone and seeing the effort they put into that feels very village to me. I'm laughing about how you think I have the more useful ability, because I can almost guarantee I don't, and if no one agrees to change off of us in the next few hours I'm happy to be the one to die :P. I'm not playing very well this game so it makes sense to keep you alive. When you say you know Az's tenement, does that mean you're a Night Crew who used your ability? Cause that'd technically put me as more useful role-wise than you, but not by much I won't vote Elk for self pres, if it stays just us. Steel. I feel like I should reread today's events with the lens of assuming Mat/Elk v/v to maybe get a hint of the elims that jumped on either. Does anyone have a VC?

It wasn't like I was trying to cover myself. It's not the same thing as a poke, and I said what it was. I think it would have had a different effect if I had just naked-voted, and that probably would have made you suspect me all the same :P. I didn't backwalk, I reread D1 and changed my mind. With Steel, it's a difference of reads and a difference of gut. Don't elim read me because we disagree on this one thing. I don't think they were confused, they just asked why (which I don't think is the same thing). And that was fair, since I never actually said why I vil read them. I now have. I only think they're evil if Illwei is, and it's a bad read. I had Devo as true null D1 so I dunno what you're talking about here. Here's the thing again. Don't elim read me because we disagree. That's not a valid reason. I think Chantara is village. I'm paranoid about Illwie and Mint and have a bad gut on Steel. I don't see why that's suspicious. I'm actually something decidedly not cool. It would make like no sense for an elim to have the role I do. This is probably fair. I bet they have less content than I remember as well
-
I ask again: How the heck is this even a tone that could be conveyed this is not a tone that can be conveyed stop claiming it's a tone that can be conveyed. lol I completely misunderstood Archer's point don't mind me uh ignore the first line of this post as well :P. Ahem. Sorry. In response to the correct point this time: Yeah I don't have a good exe candidate. Like I said, I'm confident in my village reads, not my elim ones. But I hazard to say that you don't really have a good candidate either :P. But I'm trying. I reread all of D1, made a big wall that no one read, made a big reads list no one commented on, have been working hard in PMs, and feel like I'm the only one really really working for this and I know I'm not so don't take it that way (talking to everyone generally here) but it feels like that. I wrote an "In Defense of Mat" post in notepad that's kinda cheeky I suppose. I'll hold off on posting it :P. I'm kind of echoing some of the points in this one though. Archer specifically listed in his paragraph of reasons he found me suspicious, my vote and read of Steel. It's definitely there. Go look and find it. You voted for me in your first post this turn, TUO. My tone is getting increasingly more annoyed because I am getting increasingly more annoyed (Please don't think I'm abrasive I'm not abrasive text is hard to convey tone) but I am getting tired of getting misexed because I have the most content to poke holes in. With enough posts there will be holes. Mine are found because I have enough posts to find them, not because I'm elim, every game. It's tiresome. The way I've acted. Please explain? I don't think I've acted one way or the other? Except genuinely trying to solve? My wall, my reads list, my thoughts? What's wrong with those? Doubt you'll like this post but what am I supposed to do lol. Claim? Edit: I think that the people strong elim reading me here are village though. I'm kinda surprised no one is rising to my defense tbh and think that probably the people that would otherwise are elims just letting this slide through :P.
-
My experiment was seeing how TUO would react to added pressure. The vote wasn’t intended to stick unless I found their reaction worthy of it. That’s all it was. …How the heck could you possibly make a read like ‘Mat seems like they’re struggling to choose a kill’ when a) I’ve mentioned nothing of the sort b.) We’ve already established that it’s unlikely for the elims to make a successful kill N1 c) I’m not thinking about the kills at all and there’s no reason for you to say I am and d) I’m not in the elim doc And don’t elim read me for disagreeing with my read smh. That’s just not a good play.

I took my written test for Driver’s Ed today. It was… interesting.
The first thing that I had to do was take a practice test, which was fifty questions that were all multiple choice. They gave me a blank test, as well as one with the answers circled by hand so I could compare when I was done. The idea here is that if I did bad on the practice test, I wouldn’t have to waste my one free attempt on the test, cause if I fail the retake costs money.
I thought it was pretty easy, but when I compared with their answer sheet I ran across five or six questions where I flat-out disagreed with the answer sheet. Things that I knew were right but the answer sheet said otherwise. Some I wasn’t sure, like I thought I was right but it was realistic that maybe I misremembered, but some I knew without a doubt that the answer sheet was wrong and that made me pretty nervous. Technically I don’t think the score I got on the practice test was good enough to qualify for the real one but because I was unsure about the answer sheet as a whole I just went along and took the real one anyway.
The real test was forty multiple choice questions, taken from the same bank as the practice test. I could miss a maximum of eight and still pass. As I took it I found that the same five or six questions that I was unsure about because of the practice test were on the real one as well. Which was not really fun for me to decide what to do
I opted to lean towards trusting the practice test answer sheet on the ones I thought maybe it was right, while sticking to what I knew was right for the others. I felt alright about it when I turned it in. The instructor grades it right then and there, so I watched her tick off the incorrect answers, and as she checked closer to forty the incorrect answers grew closer to eight.
I, officially, got eight wrong. Which is a pass. Barely.
But then I mentioned that I thought some of the questions on the practice test were wrong, so the instructor looked it over. And yep, most of the ones I was unsure about were in fact marked incorrectly on the practice test answer sheet, making my score closer to 36/40. Which, since I passed anyway, doesn’t really matter but it made me wonder how many other people ‘failed’ the test because they trusted the sheet over their own judgement and memory. The instructor ripped the answer sheet in front of me and promised to look over the other ones, but it was clear that the answer sheet had been in use for awhile. So yeah, I’m fairly annoyed at the system
Like, you had one job.
But I passed. Now just the driving drive test…
(Sorry for the long and dramatic SU, but I thought this was worth a share
)

My reads list remains mostly unchanged but I’d move Elk to Null+. My issue is that I’m confident in my village reads but not my elim ones, which I get is a bit of a paradox but eh It’d be disappointing if the trains only were limited to me and Elk, since I’m pretty sure it’s v/v. If the same people are fringe voting me and Elk that were fringe voting Az/Illwei, that could clue in to the elims as well as if yesterday was v/v.
-
I think I'm the only one here who actually knows what this means lol edit: no actually I’m stupid and thought this was a wiml pfp change thing from mu and I didn’t see the edit so ignore this
-
I specced those yeah. Which like sure I misread you as elim in those but I think this is different somehow. Or maybe it’s not. Well I’m not voting you anymore so there’s that I guess. Yeah I admit to doing this regardless of alignment
-
That’s why I included the shrug and ‘dicey’ lol. Because I’m actually not. But if TUO is, then I am as well (and Devo)- and let’s face it I’d love to be cleared. Every player in this game would. And since we decided that TUO isn’t actually cleared, this is pointless anyway.
-
Wdym? I already explained the gambit itself: So like he told someone else that the two locations he had worked out were A and B, and ten minutes later told me that the two locations he had worked out were B and C.
-
Yeah no lol I don't remember this. But I it probably happened. Thing with Elk is though that I doubt he'd send varying lists of tenements within 24 hours of the game starting to separate people as elim. It just seems like a weird and pointless gambit. I mean, it seems like that regardless of alignment but more so as elim imo. I PMd him asking about this last night (not in game last night, it was during D2) but he hasn't responded. Steel
-
Could you like try to articulate that at all?
-
Bit of gut, added with our general agreement of almost everything. PM and thread interactions with you seem genuine, as well as your D1 as a whole. And I don't think an elim would ask this question. They'd totally just let the read exist happily untouched.
-
Plot wise an Adolin death makes the most sense, but I just don't think Brandon will kill Adolin. Dalinar I agree with- I'm thinking the contest will probably end in a stalemate, or a light loss of some kind, in a way that pushes off their impending doom. I'd be surprised if they outright won, to be honest. I think Kaladin will die in heroic self-sacrifice. I don't see him having much to offer in the second half; I suppose he could be a Vasher figure but I think it's more likely he'll just die. I could see some Bridge Four people dying, but I dunno how you singled out Sig. Rock and Lopen I would say won't die though. I don't think Shallan will die either, and Jasnah and Renarin (and Lift) are all practically guaranteed to survive because of their flashback books. So yeah, I guess Dalinar/Kaladin as far as main character deaths is my prediction.
-
D1 reread notes: I could see the Az vote as a train to save e!Illwei, which would incriminate Steel and Devo imo. I would stick Mint here if I'm going for a full-blown team guess (this is a bad team guess) even though she was on Illwei, though Illwei wasn't in danger when the vote was cast and Mint didn't come back during the time Illwei was in danger. So yeah if I had to make a bad team guess rn it'd be Illwei/Mint/Steel/Devo Ordered Reads List: Esooa Archer Squirrel TJ Dalinar ~ TUO (+) Chantara (+) Tani Kas Devo (-) ~ Elk Mint Illwei Steel Edit: Sorry about the double, I forgot no one posted since my last one.
-
That was definitely a factor for me. Probably a larger one than I was intending it to be.
-
I’m aware of some inconsistency with Elk and his location claims. Not sure how to take it, but the general idea is that he claimed to know two locations to PlayerX (PlayerX has told this to me) on Saturday morning, and Elk claimed to know only two locations to me Saturday morning as well, the PM to me being sent after the PM to PlayerX. Thing is, the sets of locations are different. (My reread progress got halted. Conclusions from that are still coming eventually)
-
After I posted, yeah At least I didn't see it until now. Anyway... I can reread D1 in a half hour or so. May not finish, I'm doing things irl today so that might get in the way but I'll come back with conclusions and a vote at some point.
-
I was elim this game- I mean we didn't kill him because we had him completely pocketed. Until everything mech went wrong and he had an extra life and we couldn't anymore, but it wasn't because we thought it would come back to us iirc. But yeah I guess you're right, I just got a bit excited :P. It'd be so nice if this was a clear though
