In, RP character to come later. Do we PM you/El our submissions? Edit: Found the clarification in the rules doc, nvm
-
I village read him though :P.
-
Not playing a flipless game >>
-
Do we even have anyone who could be called both generally trusted and a thread controller lol
-
No, I think you're right. I forgot about the part where the shades have a % chance to attack the banished, and just thought it was a shade-kill item that could only be used while banished. It does read as a passive item in the rules to me on another pass.
-
^Can confirm I misread the PM, which caused me to needlessly paranoid harder than I ought to have. Wonko ...Problem is now, I have nowhere else to go as I don't just wanna pile on Devo :P. Archer notes will come later; am currently multitasking when I should just not be xD Solution: close this tab. Also will note that I just thought silver knives were a guaranteed flip, which is too bad.
-
That is the one thing giving me pause. But I’m not sure where else to go short of voting into my nulls when my reads list more or less assumes e!Archer with no real confirmation.
-
In our PM, which I’m pretty sure I can’t quote directly as per the rules. You cited mechanics and logistics as skills in the same list as manipulation, and it’s definitely treated with the same weight. I’m not sure why you omitted it here while still mentioning the other two.
-
Legitimately was eating skittles as I read this which caused only a minor double take Sure, but it's basically just my reads list. It's already ordered. So I don't think you'll get much new information. Like, I make my skittles rainbows by making an ordered reads list and more or less arbitrarily adding pretty colors TKN, Alpha Ash, DeTess JNV, TJ, Aman Devo, Wonko, Archer
-
Things Noted By Me As I Reread: The first thing Wonko said in thread was that he doesn't want banishments to happen for awhile, yet he had no problems agreeing to banish DeTess. Counterpoint: he himself acknowledged the perspective change, and gave a reason for it. Result: Not actually that weird. TKN's down-to-earth bluntness actually reads very village to me on a second pass. Pretty confident on this one. If memory serves, e!TKN makes more effort to give effort. Wonko's response to Alpha's 'claim' contrarily reads less village to me this time around. In our PM he mentioned multiple times that while he's not superb at nailing reads, he excels and enjoys the manipulation aspect of the game, and I could absolutely see e!Wonko jumping on this opportunity to respond in that way. Maybe not an e!case, but I don't really village read it anymore. Devo connections: Wonko (saying he seems genuine regarding Alpha), Archer (see four points below) I still don't understand Aman's Ash vote D1 but I'm not sure there's really an answer to it. Most of his reads come with no explanation but he did say low effort Aman? The amount of times I mindmeld with Ash is surprising to me Points to DeTess for claiming the knife. Could definitely see an elim claiming one later, but not right away. Early flips = bad for the elims Archer saying that he expected/thought Devo would self pres is still very strange to me. Devo has a rep for late voting, and the cycle was barely halfway through. When I pointed this out, he gave the most non-answer of all non-answers, so I can definitely see the connection between them. @Amanuensis you said that no one had PMd you, ten minutes before the end of C1. Now you say that JNV PMd you C1. Which is it? I don't really care, but I am curious what the motivation behind the lie is Archer saying that he thought the Aman wagon was e driven looks weird in retrospect when Alpha/DeTess are both likely village, imo, and there wasn't really a wagon so much as random votes that happened to add up to a whole two. I will say that Archer's theory regarding DeTess is legitimately a good one, and makes me reconsider my read somewhat. Actually I don't know how I feel about Archer/Devo as a team. They would have to had done very little distancing, which doesn't really feel right for either of them. I'll sit on that till hopefully Archer flips I guess. Reads: TKN, Alpha Ash, DeTess JNV, TJ, Aman Devo, Wonko, Archer Trying Wonko. Prior to my reread, I would not have ever guessed I'd be voting here, tbh :P.
-
Now add the correct number
-
Ayyyy Aman glad to have you back. I think. Reading JNV at all seems weird but I suppose vibes can come from but one post. I just definitely didn’t get anything. Is there a reason Devo’s vote wasn’t counted?
-
I guess I worded that badly. Tell or not, me being busy is NAI, I don’t know what you want me to do there :P. I think mentioning why I haven’t posted like at all this turn one time is more than reasonable.
-
Fwiw Archer hammering down on me only solidifies my vote as he’s incorrectly run under the assumption that low activity me = elim me before, and really shouldn’t be doing it again. Low engagement during the final days of vacation and subsequent travel back is nothing but NAI.
-
My engagement has been horrible and for that I apologize, but the good news is that I’m traveling home today so the rest of the game should be better :P. Archer to me feels like the simplest answer based on the calculus of us needing flips + DeTess offering us flips + Archer trying to exe DeTess, but maybe that’s too obvious. Seems fine for now.
-
Is it at all reasonable that Aman was involved in this theory? Depends on the timeline, I guess, as I sort of doubt a WGG happens while e!Aman is on the chopping block.
-
Why not self vote? Note that I’m glad you didn’t :P.

Mat replied to Koloss17's topic in 17th Shard Discussion
I definitely vibe-read pfps, and recognize sharders primarily through them. I made my pfp using the twinborn symbols from my second ever SE game, which has become the main reason I visit the site, so I'd say it's significant I once tried to chance it to red fuzzy dice with a bowler hat, but it felt wrong. I've grown so used to it, and it's migrated away from just the shard. -
I think just that Devo basically was like ‘um, no’ to the Devo/TKN e/e theory right after he proposed it
-
Actually no TKN
-
Alpha I’m saying I disagree with your reasoning there, yeah. Archer’s TJ case felt weird (saying TLDRs are an elim tell is… interesting to me) but points for pushing his vote I guess. Don’t know if confidence is a tell for Archer but he’s very confident so probably not xD I don’t exactly want Aman to die. He’s too good. That’s true for both alignments though :P. I guess he could always be resurrected? xD Ash This makes sense I promise
-
I believe so. Likewise, no votes at all would result in RNG between everyone What’s the VC, anyway?
-
I’m pretty okay with reading Wonko village for voting someone for village reading him, especially when I disagree that there wasn’t any reason to village read him already (see: Archer on Wonko’s reaction to Alpha, and Aman’s response). Could be manipulation on his part but eh
-
DeTess claimed a blade but I think that’s it And you’re good, I just don’t want to kill you for a bit alone Show me you’re village. Or show me you’re not. But if all you say is that you’re evil, sure, I’ll believe you. Edit: Also, did you come to any conclusions based on how it was reacted to?
-
Honestly, what is your goal here? Because you can’t just ride this until you die. That’s gamethrowing regardless of your alignment, imo. And I know you could technically be brought back but I don’t find that a valid excuse. Like I don’t mind if you continue the bit but at some point, if you’re village, you should do something else.
