Well, the main reason I didn't explicitly state any stances or analysis off of the megapost I did at the end of D1 was because it was... midnight and I needed sleep. And that megapost was supposed to be everything that caught my eye, and Reading... had been saying quite little of substance at all. I'm here, but I'm in a class, so I'll respond more in an hour or so.

... what's the goal in PMing anyone?

“First, you’re missing a ‘ in there.” “... that’s what you wanted to say?” ”Well, not entirely. It’s not that you’re jumping around, even though that does seem curious. But the main thing is people became suspicious of ya when ya just jumped on other people’s reasoning. That’s something I’ve seen you do a fair bit as both Elim and villager, but mainly as an Elim.” ”Oh, I see. And then when people called you out, you bailed on what was your main suspicion to find a new one.” ”Perhaps it’s oversimplified, but yeah. I’d need to go back and check. Misdirection and all that.”

Books did create a train after being sused for joining one. So for now, sure. Books. We should probably attempt to get everyone to vote every cycle. Ignoring the Crossbowman, we can only afford three more mis-exes. If Reading's evil or mis-crossbows... then it's two. 8-3 --> 6-3 --> 4-3 --> 1-3 8-3 --> 5-3 --> 3-3

"I thought that rollover wasn't for another hour... oops." "And once again, the vote-Dannex-out-first chain succeeds at not getting an Elim. At least we didn't join/lead it this time." "You kinda wanted to." "Well, yeah, but I have standards. Didn't want to do it again. Now I don't need to feel bad about meta, I guess." "So who'd you vote for for the Crossbow?" "Not Reading... I voted for myself ." "... why?" "Didn't really trust anyone else. I was considering changing to someone, but couldn't think of who and then bam, rollover." "Ah well."
-
"... why is that all bold."
-
"You know, with only twelve of us we should probably vote." "Yeah... who?" "The problem is there's a meta-reason to not vote D1 for... pretty much everyone. Books and Random Bystander just died. I want to see where Illwei and Quinn go with this. I kill Reading and Dannex too much... I'm me, Experience is inactive... let's see, that leaves Mat, TJ, The Unknown Order, and Gears." "Hmm. That is a conundrum, now that you mention it." "Perhaps we should narrow it down more?" "Yes. But perhaps throw Dannex and Reading back into the pool; all their talk of phrases concerns me." "Perhaps later. They did say their secrets were cosmetic. And we do kill them frequently." "But can we believe them?... fine. Back to the others." "TJ's only posted a few times, voted for Gears and seem unusually combative and... they did say something that made me a little concerned. Not saying what just yet." "Like what Mat just posted?" "Like Mat just... huh? Grrrr, ninja's are back at it. But no. A little nervous of TJ." "What about Mat, specifically?" "Mat feels... different? He's using lol and xD and things. It's like Illwei's mind controlling him." "Don't think that's one of the secrets." "Yeah, me neither." "Gears?" "NAI as ever. Not many rules for him this game. Has good counterpoints to things though." "That leaves The Unknown Order. Who... oh. Has said 2 posts with 22 words total. Yeah." "Don't really feel a contribution crusade today. Not after Dannex. So... what else?" "Books's vote is nervewracking but I think more Vil!Books than eVil!Books" "... that notation is awful." "Fine. Books makes me nervous but I think they're not bait." "You know what, TJ Shade. Let's up some pressure. Illwei's voting there." "Illwei just said she'd be fine executing you." "Oh, well that's fantastic, isn't it. STOP NINJAING ME PLEASE." "Sigh. Also, I have a recommendation. Whoever gets the crossbow, vote every cycle. If we're going to spend so much time figuring out if you're an Elim or not, I would hope that you would help us out and getting reads in a QF is hard enough without, what, 4 votes by the half-mark." "Edit: yes, it's "------- go brrrrrr". " "And yes, I just edited in dialoge. Fight me. But not with a crossbow."

I’ve been busy ish; I can be caught up with the thread but not really reflect on it... that being said I feel like I’m not alone in that. Idk.

"Oh there you are!" Derrick said, rolling his head around to look at the Basilisk. Not literally rolling his head, unfortunately; Derrick couldn't remember if that was why... come to thought of it, Derrick couldn't remember who wasn't talking to him. But someone wasn't because of possibly rolling his head. And, that someone wasn't Roko! That made it a good day. "So you think there's two of me now?" Derrick replied. "The Twinmind, 'suppose is accurate enough. But no, there's only one Derrick and that's Derrick. But I've seen quite a lot of yous around, now that you mention it." What had happened the last time Derrick had met Roko? It had been a while. He'd just earned his little chalky friend, before getting dragged in the dark to try and find it again. Or was it the pirate ship? No, not the ship. Still, Derrick was pretty sure he hadn't killed Roko then. Which meant, of course, little to either of them, but impressions were everything. Especially around now, as Derrick had to cast a very specific impression. "I suppose there are two of me. But we're both Derrick, you see? Poor Derrick. If you're wondering who ate the ducks, it wasn't me. I can't digest the bones. I didn't eat Barth, either, but I think that's more obvious to the eye sockets." Derrick grinned, looking past Roko towards the center of town, where that very interesting piece of metal had met a slightly less interesting individual. "Nope, Derrick has all the bones he needs here. No bones about it. No ducks, either." He waved at the falling ash. "This is about, though. Everywhere, everyear. It's strange, really." "Where was Derrick. Ah. Derrick sees your salutations and raises one step - but no steps around, Derrick is afraid... Derrick shall raise you a 'yes' and a 'no'. Derrick cannot be too much help today. But tell me, Roko: if you have an ear, an ear every year, what is the sound you'd least like to hear?" One of Derrick's eyes trailed back to Roko. The other kept looking ahead. That metal... Where was the key? The lock found, the key lost, the door... the gambit had paid off, in a way, but not the way that Derrick wished.

"Well, that seems to be a lot, doesn't it?" "I suppose so. What do you think we should do with the Crossbow?" "Probably demand we have it ourselves." "That will not go over well." "Oh, like you wouldn't want it to just sit on it and ensure your immortality from vengeful bait." "... fair." "Well, that's an impasse. I would be unopposed to having the crossbow for my... research, but to be truly pragmatic we need another target." "The crew seems to discuss simply voting it goes to a trust or a secret player who's not a self. So that's likely the best option." "Okay... what about this secret things? People have... codes? Passphrases? For cosmetic things?" "Cosmetics are always fun. Just look at every game with cosmetics like ever." "So people are trying to say secret phrases? I don't have a secret phrase... did you get a secret phrase?" "... maybe ." "... did you just use an emoji in dialogue." "It's not like that's the strangest thing that anyone's been doing here. Books is constantly talking about butterflies, and there's, what, two more secrets out there?" "I'm telling Connie you used an emoji in dialogue." "You're trying to meta this too much." "Says you." "Candy corn." "Huh?" "Misdirection." "What are you-" "I am a stick." "Okay I'm done here."
-
Eh... tres mal, mais... oui? I took 4 years through high school but am quite rusty. And I don't think we're allowed to use different languages as code for things I have no idea how to make the accent on tres I'm sorryyyyyyy
-
There’s... you know I’m not going to say. I agree with Quinn’s assessment that it does look like something I would write though Cries in lost Doctor ideas

"What was the plan again?" "We were just going to talk back and forth. You know, like the actual story does." "... you know literally everyone else is doing that, right." "Yeah, but there's two of us. We get the tactical advantage of actually having... paragraph breaks. Those are fun." "We use them too often." "Well, we got to make it grammatically correct, right? New Paragraph for a new speaker and all that?" "We barely make a line..." "Anyway, crossbows. Crossbows are cool. Not as cool as a Shadowblaze but they are cool." "Still, with only twelve bodies around, removing one is a potent ability. That's one-twelfth of the entire population." "Nice. You can do math." "Thanks for that... I wonder, do you think they'll be able to guess which one of us is the one talking?" "Do we even know?" "Don't know. Let's find out."

So the Elims just killed RandBy for low info... interesting. I also missed that those were distinguished...
-
... Derrick pleads the Fifth.
-
Huh, you can actually kinda se it like that.

I didn't claim vanilla, I claimed vanilla-cursed. I'm almost always vanilla ... seriously, I was vanilla (sans items) in the AG of all things... Uh oh.
-
Well if all the Lurchers are protecting themselves, they're either a Lurcher or a Thug... So yes, but maybe? If you're a Thug Claim Lurcher, if you're a Lurcher Claim Thug, if you're a Coinshot claim Smoker, if you're a Smoker claim Seeker, if you're in possession of any sense at all don't listen to me when it comes to what you're supposed to claim because I say whatever comes to the top of my head and am vanilla cursed

... okay good Inhales AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I feel like we're focusing too hard on the vote manip... that's, what, 1/4 of all the roles here (not counting the Mistborn or Smokers as anti-vote manip). Of course there's going to be a lot of village vote manip roles, and they are likely going to use them. Hmm. If you're a Soother and willing to be risky and PM me, I have an idea. ... I don't think a Lurcher should guard Ventyl, honestly. We need Lurchers to be around for when a Coinshot or Seeker gets forced to out, and the best way for that to happen is if Lurchers self-target and claim Thug. There's no way for the Elims to punch through a Lurcher unless they somehow get a Coinshot (and even then, maybe not? I forget), and I doubt they'd try and multihit lest they either A.) okay there's a Lurcher, still can't kill them or B.) congratulations you killed a Thug. That being said, Lurchers being erratic is likely a good strategy, especially if we're worried about an Elim!Seeker who can just outright find a Lurcher from a Thug. So, maybe? ... Unknown Order, I sincerely hope that's not a N1 Seeker claim... ... yeah, it's a Smoker claim! That's it! That makes me feel better please don't say more there's too many claims going around anyways help my poor PM safe brain

Rioting usually actually moves the votes and their associated name, so I don't think any Rioting was used successfully. But it sounds like some of these removed votes could have been Rioters who either intentionally whiffed their Riots or hit Smokers. ... Rioters and Smokers are suddenly a very powerful combination.
-
I voted Reading mainly because they seemed to be around but saying almost nothing of substance, which... seems to follow a few other players as well. ...That and for the pun with Reading Books
-
A Rioter could also have canceled their own vote, which is sometimes beneficial for Elims to do. But I think multiple soothers is more likely here.
-
Derrick is going back to sleep and doesn’t like surprises either
-
Reading Books. Derrick doesn’t like ties...
