Why especially me, over the others? Though you're right. I did infer your role, and I'm pretty sure I'm right... though 'History' makes me wonder. Sorry Elk, you ninja'd me :/

They look like this:

Accepts baked goods and eats them all

I made a mistake, I must admit. I... Suffice it to say, that has been quickly fixed and I read all the pages I missed.

Travels back in time and eats all the waffles

They hurt a lot, in fact. Reg tapped gold, then looked in amazement at the gold bracelets that had appeared on his arms.

Reg wondered if he had access to Investiture, then pushed on a coin and flew away.

Yes, Ash's reads. So... uh... I mean, if Araris is an elim, it's very likely that you are too. It is possible only one of you is, though, and if we lynch Araris and he flips village I'd probably still suspect you a little bit, though it would be less likely.

Here's the promised major post analysis on @Araris Valerian: Bear with me Their first post was a vote on Ash, which as a poke vote seemed strange even at the time it happened but now as my trust of Ash has grown so has my distrust of Araris. Later D1 he switches from Ash to Mint: (found here) Here he defends Illwei, making an Illwei/Araris elim team a possibility. At the last minute switches to a villager to save Illwei. Later, they continue to defend Illwei and even go after me a little bit for suggesting I was suspicious of Illwei. Here is the next quote I’ll draw attention to, found in D2: Here he backs up off his defense of Illwei, but doesn’t act on it, instead voting for Mint with little reason. The tone of this post seems to suggest elim!Illwei, but Araris doesn’t outright say it and doesn’t vote for Illwei either, which I see as contrary to Araris’s normal playstyle. Now, in D3, he posts a reads list: Two things of importance happen here: One, he starts his real suspicion on me, a trend that carries throughout the rest of his posts (something that only started after suspicion regarding me had been mentioned by other people) and Two, Illwei for some reason being moved to ‘not enough info to read’ in Araris’s mind, despite having Illwei being the main topic Araris discussed D1 and D2. Later, I ask why he’s suspicious of me, and he just flat-out rejects my question. He still hasn’t explained, though told Kas he would get to it. Do tag me if you ever post that, I’d like to know. Now his role gets exposed by Kas, and he says he’ll keep using it because: (link) This is an interesting thought, because so far, we have successfully found 2 people targeting the person who was killed through roles. Theoretically both village roles, and theoretically both catching the killer. The role distribution has been vital for the village’s success so far. Furthermore, I am considering roleblocking you this turn, as I: 1. Don’t want you to heal my roleblock and 2. Don’t want you to target some other poor villager. There’s the part where you are the only person to not vote on Devotary, instead going for me again. Apparently I’m the elim’s next mislynch candidate. If Illwei votes on me next cycle, I’ll be even more convinced. Finally this cycle, immediately voting on Straw. Nothing much to gain from this, except the stark contrast from the Devotary lynch. Now I’d like to point out Straw’s read list: (Spoilered for size) A few things: First, note the elim reads on both Araris and Illwei. If Straw were to die and flip elim, he’d probably expect us to look at his village/null reads. By putting theoretical teammates in his elim section- but not voting on them- creates distancing. Second, he village reads me. I don’t like this, because as I said before if Straw dies and flips elim the village would be more likely to look at his village/null reads, and with the already pressure that exists on me from Araris makes me an easy mislynch. I believe that Straw and Araris are both adding suspicion on me, but through very different methods, thus also creating a distancing. Here Straw also votes Lotus, prompting me to do so as well, something that’s thrown shade on me now, just because I found Devotary’s defense reasonable before Sart claimed. Unfortunate. What I draw from this: I find an Araris/Illwei elim team likely You both are decently likely to be teamed with Straw, through the Straw-Araris connection and then the Araris-Illwei connection. I am being pushed for the lynch by these two, and it’s catching on. After all that, now I’ll say that it’s almost excessive and I probably am tunneling a bit. But after two low-discussion cycles it’s the best lead I got, and I intend to follow it. And I think a worthy 900th post

Reg starts digging a hole in the shape of a worm.

Like Striker said, it's not that much of a link, but there are other reasons that you are suspicious. I'll post this later, as it's own post, as I still will need to go through the cycles and put that together. But it will happen before the end of the cycle. Well, I wasn't aware that Illwei had voted Lotus when I got on the Shard to cast my vote, but that's how it happened. That is how I framed the lynch- at that time, I found Lotus more suspicious than Devotary, and she was who I found most likely to be an elim- but that flipped when Sart claimed, putting Devotary in that spot. I still found Lotus suspicious- until her first post this cycle condemning Straw. At that point I recognized an elim wouldn't lie about something like that a cycle after they lost a teammate, so I changed my mind regarding her alignment. I don't ever recall saying I agree with her reads, though, just that I now think she's village. Araris post to come.

Reg shrugs. "We could probably ask the Narrators nicely. Oh, Naaaaarators!!!!!" A booming voice bounces back instantaneously. "NO" Edit: I realized what you were asking, Condensation, a bit too late. Whoops

Reg, who was absent from the beginning of the quest poofed into existence, and realized in horror that giant robo-chickens did not in fact give giant eggs! He declared in a solemn voice, "We must find a wormhole to a different dimension, where the giant chickens are actually chickens!" I'm debating whether all the notifications I'll get is worth following the thread to keep up with the story...

Here's a little list I put together real quick, for my reference. Sorta busy IRL right now so I have time to put reasons, though if you need them go look at my other reads lists I've posted. If Straw flips elim, look more at: Araris, Illwei, Elandera If Straw flips village, look more at: Lotus, TJ Shade, Ashbringer (Note: I don't suspect any of the names in the second row, as I believe the most likely case here is that Lotus is correct about Straw having targeted Sart with the kill. This is merely who I would suspect if he did in fact flip village, though my main elim suspects/people who would be teamed with Straw are on the top)

Gets a slip of paper that reads 'doesn't get references' *Inserts floor wax*

Fine, fine... and here I thought I had found something useful...

Ash said his background letter during D1, and it is one of the ones Kas said exists. Pyro's BG he claimed was accurate as well Also, in the illegal PM Vapor sent today she told her background letter as an 'I', one that we haven't seen before either. Are you going to assume she just lied as well? There might be more backgrounds then you think, and my point is that they're all more likely to exist than Straw's 'Mechanic'

Regnidorhcs wants an easier name to spell, and resolves to call himself Reg.

To @Vapor who just posted in the YELLY-YELL GROUP!!! No PM's, remember!

I just remembered a piece of evidence that could further prove that Straw made up the Mechanics background: @Kasimir @TJ Shade On D1, Mist made a group PM: The YELLY-YELL Group or something like that. It had Mist, me, Pyro, Vapor, Ash, Striker and Lahilt, me and Striker being the only ones to not speak at all in it. In true Pyro fashion, he convinced the majority of those who could speak to reveal the first letter of their background, starting with himself. @Lahilt said 'B', meaning there theoretically is another background already, probably an actual Biologist . Anyway, Lahilt would've been much less inclined to lie on D1 than Straw would be today, so I think this could further convict Straw.

I'm face-palming myself right now because I forgot to follow the thread this morning and have spent the last few hours wondering why no one was posting :P. Anyway, fixed now So I can join in the discussion. Well, iirc, the ability Straw claimed is technically a helpful one, making his supposed target on Sart a good move. But I also am fairly skeptical about the role distribution and that there suddenly is a new background. ... This was like the main topic D2 , yes he has vote manip. Edit: Ninja'd by Illwei himself.

Better learning system xD That's funny. I doubt it, tbh. I'm taking Geometry, Spanish, Art, and then just general science/history/language arts/PE

I'm going into 9th, which is the first year of high school And of course I can't actually be in the building.

Yeah, that's what I meant. The last of the votes on Devotary before Sart's action claim. Sorry that wasn't more clear. And clearly this doesn't concern me, as I have no idea what the heck it means
