PAFO First, no. The survival roles are passive and cannot be blocked. The Overseer can be roleblocked, but it won't use up the action for the two cycle duration. While I'm here, vote count (Ash ninja'd me xD): Amanuensis (2): Ventyl, Whysper Gears (1): Illwei Illwei (1): Amanuensis There are two hours remaining in the cycle.

Yes.

My state's governor just announced that we can't have religious gatherings anymore. We can go tomorrow, but after that...

Too bad the elims did so good, guess that was a mist opportunity.

Bael doubles the size of his swamp, and creates more swamp monsters, which he now calls the Yvzoxtrudijyfeinds. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" I have no idea how much power I have at this point :P.

Oooooh that was so good! Thank you guys! Perhaps the only thing better than this is that I actually could follow along and understand what you were talking about. The fact that I'm actually understanding spiritual mumbo-jumbo is exciting to me. That said, I'm gonna dump a bunch of my thoughts, crackpot theories, hot takes, and headcanons right here in response to yours. Read it, not see it, ignore it, comment on it, whatever Intent/Command: I'm with the idea that visualization is with Intent as opposed to Command. And I'm totally with Eric in not knowing what the heck Command is, but I don't love the idea of it being like 'what the straw man does' (assuming the Intent is the visualization of what the Awakener wants the straw man to do) I don't really like the Command being the straw man actually doing it, though I'm biased because of the actual definition of the word 'command'. It doesn't fly with me that Command would be the following or carrying out of a command (lowercase on that last one.) That being said, I don't know what Command would be in that scenario. I really like the idea of Radiant oaths being this exact thing, it makes a lot of sense to me. Dawnshards: Of the ideas put out, I like Grace's the best, though I have to say I also don't love the whole '4 Shards for each of the 4 Dawnshards' link. Wouldn't be upset if it was true, though I don't love it. Stasis makes... some sense, I don't know what to think about that either. I am all for Grace's other theory about the Dawnshards being the sort of fragments of Adonalsium's Cognitive aspect. I really like that. It makes me wonder if the Dawnshards were separate from Adonalsium before the Shattering though, because I thought/think that they were, and don't know how this would fit into that. The Shattering: My happy little headcanon of the Shattering actually held up! I'm pretty stoked about that. I'll try to explain it, revamped with the info we have now:: I think that the people in opposition to Adonalsium (Hoid, the Vessels, maybe others) destroyed Adonalsium with the Dawnshards. I believe the weapon in question here was simply four people (who were the Dawnshards, remember that Rysn 'is a Dawnshard', it's the same deal here) and they used the power to destroy Adonalsium. I don't know if some of the Vessels were the Dawnshards before they ascended, or if others were, but that's my headcanon. This headcanon includes the Dawnshards being separate from Adonalsium pre-Shattering. I think that was the case. Hoid and how he ties into this: Perhaps my biggest reach of all of this is that Hoid was one of the four Dawnshards (or Dawnshard bearers) who Shattered Adonalsium in the first place. I think the Dawnshard he had, he got from the First Gem, from the topaz, in a similar way Rysn got her Dawnshard from a mural on the wall. The Rysn sequence proves Dawnshards can be in physical objects, and I think the same is true for Hoid's with a topaz. After the Shattering, he kept the Dawnshard long enough to be affected permanently by it. So... I think that was all I wanted to say. Thanks to all who read it, sorry I cluttered up the comments section with my major speculation.

I enjoyed Co-GMing for you all! Thanks to @Straw for letting me do that. It was fun reading all the docs in real time

I'd much rather you do them separately, next to each other. It does not break any rules.

Technically a Dawnshard meme, but it has nothing to do with the book itself and has no spoilers, so it goes here. If that's wrong, whoops.

...Is no one talking about how Stonewards don't actually exist? Like- I know the Lightweavers did an outstanding job hiding it, but I thought it was clear!

Should be: Mist/Fadran (1): Illwei Chasmgoat (1): Mist/Fadran Amanuensis (1): Ventyl Note that both of the Mist/Fadran votes were from before Mist was replaced.

My siblings are great and no one can convince me otherwise thank you very much

I saw this thread a few days ago, but didn't click on it... Then I decided to yesterday, hoping to post that joke everyone already did, but I put it off once I saw it was taken... Now here I am. Why do I deserve to be here? I'm a theoretical writer. Enough said...

I'm almost 15 (one month!) and then I'll probably be waiting for the next year. I definitely want to start driving (even though my parents will for sure send me on errands), but I'm not sure how I feel about going on dates That'll probably change in a year, but who knows.

@Mist has been replaced with @Channelknight Fadran. Welcome him warmly and try not to kill him too quickly!

You can RP things like that, I just want to avoid huge stretches of RP without any game discussion. Less of a rule, more of a general guideline.

Oh gosh I read that as you were withdrawing from the discussion about the paper cuts and inquisitors, not the game. I'm soooo sorry. Dang! Yeah, I'd like if there was a player. Fadran, if you want to fill in, don't post here again, but PM me.

Darius Lorian, Obligator of the glorious Steel Ministry and a member of the Canton of Orthodoxy, wore a brown cloak that covered his face in shadow. It was a tactful clothing choice, as he could roam the streets of Luthadel without the general public shying away from his eye tattoos naming him an open follower of the Lord Ruler. Darius wondered why Obligators such as himself had that effect on people in the Lord Ruler’s own kingdom. They were the proclaimers of justice! Darius had no specific motive on this day for this walk, he merely couldn’t handle work inside the Ministry to be a constant. Darius Lorian liked his breaks. As he moved down the gloomy streets, he noticed a brief shadow appear on the wall beside him. Darius turned to see if a small animal was what was there, or if it was something else. As he turned, he saw that it was not a small animal, but instead a large figure in a hood like his own. Though the hood covered the finer details of the face in shadow, Darius could see the two spikes driven through the figure’s eyes. Darius let out a squeak and jumped back, but quickly regained his composure. The Canton of Inquisition was not always a welcome sight. Hardly ever, in fact. Especially now, with rumors of a struggle breaking out between the Cantons. He stammered out a greeting, making sure not to offend the creature. “Lord Inquisitor, sir, what brings you to me?” The Inquisitor chose to stay true to its reputation and was silent, but gestured to a nearby alley way. Darius did not hesitate to comply with the thing’s wishes, whatever was in store for him there couldn’t be worse than disobedience to a Steel Inquisitor. As soon as they were out of sight from the common people, the Inquisitor wasted no time in extracting a dagger from inside its cloak and stabbing it into Darius’s chest. He gasped and collapsed onto his knees, blood flowing onto the dirt ground. Only now did the Inquisitor speak, and Darius had to struggle to hear the words through his anguish. “Times are changing. The Cantons cannot work together for long. Inquisition will reign.” Darius closed his eyes. He could feel the life seeping out of him. The Inquisitor bent down to be sure that Darius heard his final words: “You are only the beginning of sorrows, a symbol to the others. Many more Obligators will fall. The Final Empire will belong to the Canton of Inquisition, as it should have been from the beginning.” The Inquisitor left Darius lying in his own blood, wondering what he could have possibly done to deserve such a fate. Darius Lorain has died! He was an Obligator of the Canton of Orthodoxy! Cycle One has begun! The cycle will end in approximately 48 hours, on Sunday, November 15th at 1 pm PST. The following cycle will begin soon thereafter. Darius Lorian was an NPC for the sake of flavor in the writeup, and has no influence on distribution or wincons. PMs are open. Group PMs are not allowed. Include myself, Lotus, and Devotary in any PMs made. The lynch has a one vote minimum. Tied lynches will be randomly decided. If you did not receive your PM, message me and that will quickly be fixed. Important: The signups thread got a little cluttered with unnecessary posts, and I don't want that kind of thing to affect the game and those who may not want to participate in them. I would request that straight RPing, other random conversations, and things like that which are unrelated to the game be strictly in PMs. For the thread's sake and for the other players' sake, please respect this guideline. Thank you. Player List:

Signups (and this thread) are closed! PM's are being sent out with the much-appreciated help of Lotus. The game will begin ASAP!

Bael laughs at the simpleton before him. Everyone knows that armor that 'looks cool' never functions right. He summons armor and a sword that are well crafted (-10) and sicks his swamp monsters on Ren for daring to claim he could interfere with Bael's domain. I have 18 Power left. @AmazingGoob I think you get to referee this

I plan on enforcing some things to clear up the threads Hopefully everyone will be happy. But yeah, can we not comment on here anymore unless it's rule questions? Thanks. Probably should have said that sooner.
