Pretty sure that the AG won’t be until after this ends

As many of you know, tomorrow begins a great celebration! And while Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and it is great, it's not what I'm referencing. For tomorrow Ookla season begins! Ookla season is the period between Peter Ahlstrom and Brandon's birthdays, where Sharders all around change their username to 'Ookla the ___' or some form of that. I myself will participate, and expect many of you will as well. Of course, it's easy to see why this is a bane for GMs all around. I'd appreciate if all players in this game who participate in this tradition do the following: Keep your profile photo the same. From what I've heard that's what people mainly identify Sharders by, so a username and pfp change is a bit much, both for the players and myself. Put some form of your original username either as your rank/member title, or in your signature. This helps everyone identify who you are if it isn't already clear. When voting, use the original username. This makes it much, much easier for me to keep track of the tally. The same goes for titling PMs. Thanks! The Lord Ruler's scan ability is available once every two cycles after they align with a faction. Only successful scans count as a usage. A scan on a target that is killed the same turn does not count as successful. This means that if the Lord Ruler aligned on C1, their ability would be available for a successful use once during C2-C3, once during C4-C5, and so on.

:clap: I'm in as Daziron. Philico won't set foot on Roshar, for Sleepless-hierarchy reasons. And... alright, fine... Daziron-son-Odium. There seems like there will be a lot of actions flying around. Should be interesting Oh, Ash, also: Ookla Season starts tomorrow. Might want to prepare yourself for that :P. I should to, now that I mention it... I know I had questions. I'll ask them later once I remember what they are. Edit: Also: Normally for notes I just use a doc, but I think this time I'm gonna try to spreadsheet it. We'll... see how that goes.

Kriti sat on a ledge overlooking the Imperium, contemplating the others. For some reason they had turned to her after Runern's death- as if she was educated enough in Scadrain politics to know about specific customs! The Ghostbloods had given her an annoyingly small amount of information. It looks like she might suffer for it, if they could find her here. Footsteps sounded behind her, and she knew she was dead. The decision among them wasn't unanimous, but it was enough. She turned. "You'll pay for your misdeeds." She told them. "I am not the Inquisitor you seek." The hooded man in front chuckled. "That's what they all say. I am not the one who will pay." Kriti died that day. The mob's streak did as well. Ghanderflaffle was lynched! She was an Obligator!

I'm sorry I literally forgot about this The cycle is closed, rollover might be a tad slower than last time... sorry guys.

About one hour remaining in the cycle, give it take 60 seconds.

Dalinar has already mentioned he'll be his own champion.

Mine eventually starts spitting out 'brown brown orange brown green brown orange green brown' and I have no idea why.

Ok! Fun random thing I think could be fun until it dies out. Basically, when you’re on mobile, on the keyboard there are those word slots at the top, right? So it can like predict what it thinks you’re going to say, and it almost never right. So what we’re gonna do is type a random cosmere character and then only use the middle word predicted by the device. Just go for a little while and see what happens. Remember this only works on mobile

Runern Evo was many things, but he was not immortal. He ran from Death, but with each passing day, it came ever closer. The wolves circled, closing in on their prey, and he could only dodge their gnashing fangs for so long. On the first day, he was simply ignored. Other targets were more appealing, and the streets ran red with the blood of those randomly chosen to die by fate and the whim of the mob. On the second day, attention abruptly came his way with the advent of a message chain. With a knock at the door and a delivered letter, Death laid a skeletal hand on his shoulder. 'You are mine', Death whispered with a voice fainter than the wind. 'With this chain I end your life.' With a gilded tongue and a malleable mob, he managed to live for another moment. One more day. He always needed just one more day. Pretty words and connected friends saved him for the final time, and Death pulled out its scythe. He knew, in that moment, that it was over. The web of lies he’d depended on, the network of implications he’d fostered, all gone. Snapped with the death of the one who might be his misdirection. His only ally turned against him. The jig was up, the game was over. He finally saw his Death waiting for him, watching as he fumbled for excuses. Death’s cold, cruel laughter echoed in his mind as he finally accepted his inevitable demise. There was no escape. There was no reprieve. His last hopes dwindled down to nothing. This time, the knife struck true. No defense was offered. None was asked for. Death’s hand moved from his shoulder to his neck. As the mob surrounded him for the final time, Death tightened its grip on his throat. It hurt, for a moment, then faded. Everything faded. He was gone. * * * Connie bravely walked down Luthadel's dim streets, hooded head high, not slouching. She had kept her canton successfully hidden- which was probably a good thing, considering it had the potential to look incriminating- but anyone who thought that was wrong. Just because she didn't swell in offices sorting stacks of documents didn't mean she wasn't loyal to the true power of the Imperium. The other Obligators might be stuffy, but the Inquisitors were notoriously violent. She knew she had to appear confident and well-connected. So far, it had worked- the mob hadn't gone after her. Not that they had made overwhelmingly successful decisions- Runern, Connie felt, was a lucky find- but her own death wouldn't help anything. On the contrary, Connie was one of few who could stop another from taking action. The intimidation brought by her canton was useful. Connie rounded the corner, but came face to face with a monster. The Inquisitor before her laughed. "Your life be coming to an end here, Obligator." Connie narrowed her eyes. "That's is coming to an end, you mean. Grammar is important, even for an ugly brute like yourself." Then she turned and ran. She knew she couldn't fight the creature. She knew she probably couldn't escape. But if she was going to die, she might as well correct it first. The Inquisitor growled and took off behind her, steel-pushing on a nearby wall and leaping off the ground. The Inquisitor slammed into Connie from behind, and because of the dagger it had been holding she was killed instantly, just as Connie had figured. The Inquisitor rolled and landed in a crouch, then took off into the night like Death itself. Gears has been lynched! He was a Spiked Inquisitor! Condensation has been killed! She was an Obligator of the Canton of Inquisition! Vote Count: Gears (8): Quinn0928, Danex, Somebody from Sel, TJ Shade, Vapor, JesterLavorre, Ghanderflaffle, Sart Cycle Six has begun! The cycle will end in 48 hours on Wednesday, November 25th, at 1pm PST. PM's are still open! Please include myself, Lotus, and Devotary in any new PMs created. The lynch has a one vote minimum, with tied lynches resulting in a random decision between tied parties. Gears wrote his death RP! Go give him his deserved upvotes! Player List:

The cycle is over! PMs and next one to be up shortly.

45 minutes left. I will be in online classes during rollover, but I still should be able to close the cycle on schedule and get the next thread up as per usual. It might be a bit slower than normal, but the classes are low-effort .

@AmazingGoob on A Game of Godly Intrigue

13, easily. Luckiest number by far. Yes. Yes. Don't tell anyone, but here is what I have planned for SA book 5 (Tentatively titled Kangaroo or Wallaby Trifecta)

Philico snorts. "You from Roshar?"

Brelgurr sniffed, rolling out of his cot. Sun streamed through the small window of his hut; that was what had woken him up. On his way down- he had rolled out of bed, not simply gotten out of bed- he stuck out his arms and caught himself. Perfect plank. He did a push-up, just for show.
