Hmm. Good question. As for Aman/TUN, more likely the latter, but I’d also be willing to throw you into the mix because vibes. Dunno what the VC is but whoever the Dannex countertrain is also is an option for me.
-
Which is fine, yeah. It should be NAI anyway and I don't mind it being bait for discussion I thought of a few reasons e!me would have done that and why it can be an elim sided gambit but I thought of those things after tired!me posted it and walked away, so they'll just get to sit in my back pocket. No use giving the elims something to look for >>

I kind of have trouble thinking of hidden information that wouldn't help the elim team in some way, tbh. Like unless an IC member openly claims in the doc and verifies it in thread I think there'd be enough uncertainty to not claim at all. I'd advise all IC members to just not talk about identity. Actually, is there any incentive to talk at all? Like any incentive :P. Just a thought. I hate short docs as much as the next guy but in this case less talking -> less possibilities for the elims to narrow someone down based on speaking patterns -> more random guessing. And random guessing on their part is typically good for us. Disagreement with both of those things. Like Kas, I don't like TUN's p1 that much. You yourself pointed out that asking whether or not to theorize on IC size is just asking what people think the IC size is. His vote on me was one I could see e!him doing, as well as the unvote, but I hedge on this one cause v!him would also probably be fine voting me there. I sympathize much with Dannex because I've been where he is :P. Kas-- to no fault of his own-- virtually shut down Dannex's points which I found quite valid, and more or less expected reasoning where he didn't give himself. I say to no fault of his own because that's how Kas talks in thread, and I don't read him elim for it, I just don't think he really treated the Dannex argument fairly early on. Dannex seemed fine to me. Also like Kas, I'm quite surprised these are the two reads you ended up on. If I'd had to have guessed before reading this post, I would have been wrong on both. As I was the Merlin figure in said past MR, does that make my claim more interesting to you? Here's the thing though-- in my experience, v!TUN acts closely to e!TUN. The kinds of comments he gives aren't that easy of a tell, they just aren't. ...So why did you vote for Kas? Other off-the-top-of-my-head notes: Kas' Dannex case reflects good on him. e!Kas no doubt could have spun that post to solidify that read if he wanted to. Aman's voting has been truly bad. Nearly voting him just on that but tbh I should look more into the other parts of his posts. His Wiz one can be fine, I guess. But voting Dannex and me just feels incredibly lazy. Stick/TUN e/e is far too obvious to be true, right? xD All these Dannex votes don't make me feel better about a train I already don't like. Not much to have thoughts on. He's also probably occupied elsewhere today but nothing in that post makes me want to lean either way, really. There might be something to be said if there's a clear activity difference between v and e Wiz but idk if there is and I kind of doubt it'd be that obvious of a catch.

Ok I’m here now. Should be able to actually play the game within the hour. Sundays are busy though. Gotta love how one post can be so… magnetic for red votes I, of course, am not actually Winzik. Or am I. Who knows. The elims get to be confused now! Yay! That more or less was my justification for that post. Give the elims a fun IKYK, maybe draw an NK my way. Saying this adds to it. Have fun, elims! Exeing me takes the fun out of that, doesn’t it Will really respond to things later but I’m kinda surprised the analysis OG people seem to be fine with exeing the joke claim guy when there has to be something more… analysis-y.
-
inb4 you play and roll elim
-
I claim Winzik Aight goodnight see you all tomorrow
-
Hmm. I’ll switch to player. Probably shouldn’t, but it’s a light QF the week of winter break so what’s the point of not :D.
-
You're not wrong. I believe I lost every single bet I made, actually >> I'll post that eventually, promise
-
Well, I'll take it I forget what my reads were when I died but I can remember thinking that I probably would die. Who ended with Battar’s blade, Araris probably? I’d just like to point out that as this is technically a prequel to the first run of this game, I still can claim ownership of Battar’s Honorblade The dead doc was fun to discuss things both related and unrelated to the game, as usual. Good game, everyone!
-
You can make me a player if you need to.
-
I suppose I’ll say that if you need more players then I’ll play, but otherwise stay a PHer. I want to take a break soonish like Shining is, but I’m definitely playing the AG so this QF is a weird in-between spot :P.
-
I’ll pinch hit (normal name is Matrim’s Dice)
-
It’s not anything like you’re thinking, I explained it more above that in our doc (vaguely) and in the dead doc, but essentially it was just Kas saying in reaction to Hael’s tables that he forgot what doc he was in and momentarily thought ‘wait how do you know JNV is a Settler’. As it was very early game, the dead doc likely wasn’t making big charts which only left the Jedi as the alternative to which doc Kas thought he was in. Thus, the Jedi don’t know you’re village, and thus, you aren’t a Jedi. Felt guilty about catching that regardless of whether it was a legitimate Kas slip or me misinterpreting what he said, and tried not to use it throughout the game. I didn’t really need to which was nice for everyone involved
-
Who's Joe? I don't know if Ash was thinking the same as me, but I just fell for your distancing after the reveal hook, line, and sinker :P. I hadn't paid enough attention to you two beforehand, and I also wanted my Fifth/Mads case to accidentally have found the Jedi pairing xD I don't even want to know how much my brain would have hurt had a duel thread opened with you and Alv >> Don't congratulate me, I cheated
-
On a whim, I joined band. Already was doing piano for jazz band, but I didn't want to do it for the bigger concert band so I grabbed a tuba. Because why not
So... yeah, learning brass for the first time is fun. I've done like, maybe two hours of practice. Totally going to work I think.
Piano is way better though -
Sorry for framing you
-
Course, that time came after Wiz had done a 'whatever' use on Bookwyrm's exe, as you alluded to :P. Which wouldn't have changed anything since the only way our kill was working that turn was if Wiz submitted it, as Drake was off our radar and wouldn't have been targeted with the RB. (Also, I felt left out of apprenticing /jk)
-
By the way-- Fifth, I did miss the thing about Cultists inheriting and I did accidentally lowball the Cultist numbers. To Drake too, anything that you accused me of that was memory related I didn't even have to fabricate a defense for xD I just don't retain those small details. Edit: Just got to this part in the Jedi doc-- >> Jedi have futuresight ig
-
We all know the real winner of the duel was Wiz, in that he won the day in rep yesterday :eyes: In all seriousness, though, well done Fifth! Both of your RPing was masterful. And Kas, thank you for the awesome finish writeup. And for running this and letting me be evil! #evilbestalignment More game thoughts to come later, maybe, but suffice it to say we definitely thought Alv was Jedi :P. Whoops. I gotta give Ash credit for smelling a Jedi gambit but of course I was too down-to-earth while I was alive to seriously consider the possibility >> Of course, we would have gone for Mads over Drake and Wiz lost the duel anyway, so Losing Hael to the redirect sucked, but I don't think the mechanic was too bad since it only happened once. Kas, I think instead of changing the cooldown period, it'd also be fine to just let the regular Cultists submit kills. Just thought of that. Dunno the other repercussions of that though.

Trust that Kas will give me a valiant end in the writeup, I do. :eyes: I am neither Jedi nor Sith, as I’ve said many times >> And I mean. Smarts is a bit cowardly. He works with his hands, creating, fixing. Not fighting. So he’ll duck under your table but he can’t do much to combat a plaid lightsaber He just can argue that you attacking a confirmed Jedi proves his case, but what would that do :P.
-
Smarts ducked, and the table sailed over his head. It appeared that the suspected Cultist was trying to kill him prematurely. He didn’t get the point, not when he was going to die anyway.
-
How does that logic track? xD Wouldn’t that give far worse odds? Maybe I’m missing something but I really don’t get how a hypothetical v/e tie gives better odds of killing an elim than a hypothetical e/e one
-
To be fair, it already was a tie :P.
-
I think Wiz is also voting Fadran, meaning regardless of whether or not I like that train I’m probably going to end there on self pres Actually, before I forget— Fadran Looool I had the same thought, believe me, the feeling is mutual :P.
