    I go to play on the Alleyverse for one hour, and come back to this. Well... Here's what I got. So I definitely wasn't focusing on the bold. But even if the JP can't control the lynch, they can still greatly influence it if they aren't suspected as much. Especially when I had made that post, where there was a 6 way tie for the lynch. And especially because people seem to think that the JP will direct the lynch on other Jeskeri in order to try and hit a Cultist, which makes them look like Korathi even if they miss. But JP don't want to keep Korathi alive; they can just semi-safetly ignore us and let the Cultists take us out. If we lose control of the lynch, then the Jeskeri have a much higher chance of hitting Cultists, and can kill the suspected KC with relative ease. While we can still win, that is in no way ideal. There's a few other things that I've noticed in you're posts that are odd. Your first post had an odd tone, as if you were focusing on the first lynch instead of the overall game. Odd when there's no votes. You seem to think that Sart wanted to be suspicious of people (like me) who opposed his idea, when he said he only wanted to promote discussion. And you seem to be highly downplaying how much impact losing control of the lynch has on the Korathi. You say that it should be "obvious" that Sart is an old player to Lotus, who is new and has played two games total - and even if Sart has a lot of posts, that doesn't equal a lot of time on SE (I know he has, but Lotus seemingly didn't). And you immediately accepted Lotus' defense as valid and then kept your vote (?). One, "Ash" is a he in this case. (I probably should have seen this coming with Shalash/Ash the Herald being so important in SA, but... oh well, I like my name. No harm done.) Second, well, now my vote will need to change for self-preservation. And I haven't had much chance to make suspicions because my main target was Sart's "bluff". Well, here's some "buffed-up suspicion". How do you plead? Gears, like Straw said this feels like a Bandwagon, as you're voting on someone for being Noteworthy rather than suspicious. ... okay... sure. Bandwagon avoided. Still Sus. For self-preservation, Frozen Mint, as you're "analysis" is very convenient to start a bandwagon. Well. If I die, take a good look at TJ. Edit: Okay, Ninja'd by Vapor. Fantastic. You'll note that I've been typing this for a while.

    Byron blinked. He'd zoned out, again. Trying to retract his field from the aluminum had had a weird affect. The smaller his bubble, generally the slower it went. "Yeah, uh... yeah. Go ahead. I'm done." Cassie hadn't shown up, even for an emergency. So he grabbed the cadmium jars and his change, threw one glance back toward the store, and left. He couldn't wait for Cassie to return. He didn't have time to. Poller watched as the customers filed in and out of his shop, breathing fairly heavily. Now it was just Alrik left. Waiting. Expectantly. "I think we can work on that present now," he said.

    So. This man did know exactly what he was asking her to do. 16 metals, 12 spikes of each. Unless Lord was a truly adept Hemalurgist, that would be one hundred and ninety two souls that were up to be harvested. And since the Inquisitors all died, there are no adept Hemalurgists, she thought. Well, a deal was a deal. And she never broke her word. Not even for this? she thought as she finished the bendalloy spikes. No. Not even for this. "That's the last of them," she said to Lord. Coldly.

    For one thing, because the JP's can still vote in here, and possibly strike two birds with one cycle. I'll probably change this by the end of the cycle, but for now TJ Shade seems to be forgetting too many convenient things for my liking. That makes much more sense. I do think the JP might have a hard time winning if they can't hide in the lynch, but I was mainly concerned about a possible balance issue, in that it will be really hard for the JP to purposefully kill the Korathi Cultist (KC?), since the Korathi voting group has a large incentive to keep them alive. Also, even with a vote minimum on 1, there will still likely be Korathi around at reset in time to try and counter vote a one-man hammer. I know I'm usually on to monitor the last minute voting we all know and despise. So I agree with the point that it wouldn't net us all the Jeskeri, but it's not as simple as just doing one. Plus last-minute voters often get highly investigated in the next cycle anyway. And, some RP! Raashe stared at the door. It was a nice door, all things considered. Big, intimidating, and ornately carved with hundreds of symbols that he couldn't understand. He liked that, even if it made him spin his Selish translator spike in frustration. This rusting planet had way too many languages for his taste. Maybe he could find that guy who had translated those symbols and- We're not stabbing another innocent so you can read the letters on a door, AraRaash, the Blessing within him resonated. "You never want to stab anyone," he whispered. Does that still surprise you? Faleast's voice said. "You're the one who's so interested in this place. The Jeskeri. The secrets. And you know you don't believe either the Jeskeri or Korathi. You're too realmatically aware to believe them. So either the thing we seek is not what you think it is, or you won't get it anyway." I believe in simple truths. Harmony. The Shards. And maybe something more... something beyond what the Shards can reach. But you... what do you believe? Raashe smiled. "The simple things. Power. Emotion. Life." "And death." (Straw, if Shao wants to RP about having voices in their head, Raashe will gladly strike a conversation about it.)

    @Elkanah - I will say, I like your spreadsheet but you have my first two posts "focusing on Cultists" and "focusing on JP" respectively, and yet you say they both are indicative of me being a JP? Maybe? For a little additional context, I'm fresh off reading MR23 (which was another multifaction game, with Alethi (with hidden Sons of Honor), Parshendi (with hidden Voidbringers) and Ghostbloods), where the Parshendi faction was very quickly jammed into a scenario where they couldn't kill and couldn't impact the lynch, and had to be rebalanced in game. I was worried something similar would happen in here, especially with Sart's "plan". But I still stand by what I said. I doubt the plan will work, as it gives the JP so little ability to play the game and lets the Cultists kill at their leisure. Pyro asked me if I was a Cultist like 10 minutes into the game (I said nope), and I asked if he was doing this to everyone, and he said he was. (I'll write up another post soon, but I'm getting ninja'd too often so here's what I got for now.)

    Schrodinger issues a subpoena to Drama, after looking up how to spell subpoena correctly. “The council shall decide,” he said.

    A pek’s a currency, I think from Scadrial? I don’t remember. You get a Spook holding an engagement ring! *Inserts Nightblood’s sheath before something gets vaporized*

    Schrodinger welcomes Drama, then points to her signature.

    I don’t know if I buy a bluff, Sart. You claim that you were purporting this to stir reaction, and yet you don’t even mention me and my objections in your analysis. Although in your favor, I haven’t seen or read many games with you. My experience amounts to watching you die N1 in the LG after a single post targeting Striker, and watching everyone argue over whether or not you were Bleeder in MR42. So it’s a understandable defense from what I can see, if a less understandable action. Regardless, I‘m starting to think you’re more Korathi. I still think you’re the Korathi Cultist, maybe, but that would be rather on-the-nose and as a Korathi myself I wouldn’t want you dead anyway. (Which I still think is... strange, but that’s another point entirely.)
  11. Ashbringer
    Aye. ... I meant hammer, not bus... sigh. Especially if the Korathi Village agree to not vote, then any hammers look really like Jeskeri, even if they hit the wrong target.
  12. Ashbringer
    This I mostly agree with. I'm not entirely sure how the Cultists will/should play, but we shouldn't be putting the ball in their court. They do have to toe the line of killing more Korathi than Practitioners without giving lynch control to the Practitioners. The thing is, so long as the Cultists keep lynch control out of the Practitioner's hands, it doesn't matter. Only the main lynch will kill the Korathi Cultist, and if the Korathi main players avoid the lynch there's no solution, aside from one: buss the suspected Korathi Cultist. Doing so will reveal most of the Jeskeri to the thread, where the Korathi will probably pick them off one by one with their lynch control. So if they buss the wrong person they probably lose. Edit: not only does "bus" only have one S, but I also meant hammer...

    Schrodinger used WorldEdit to start Pasting Butt's kingdom everywhere so he could collapse it more.
  14. Ashbringer
    Schrodinger Copy and Pasted his kingdom in the caves below his first kingdom.

    Schrodinger wondered how Nameless intended to duel everyone who contradicted him when Schrodinger's abilities made reality contradict itself. But he decided that if the duels were Horneater duels that didn't involve alcohol, little harm could be done.
  16. Ashbringer
    Schrodinger thought a Horneater duel was solely alcohol, and wondered what Nameless was trying to do.
  17. Ashbringer
    Schrodinger didn't have a role on the tier list (yet) as he was just here to mess with reality.
  18. Ashbringer
    Schrodinger laughed that Nameless wasn't afraid of Cognitive Shadows, converted all the Cognitive Shadows into Quantum Shadows, then pulled Nameless's pants into the Quantum Realm as payback. As a Ganondorf main, Schrodinger mostly understood that tier lists were arbitrary and useless, and returned Nameless's pants in gratitude.

    Why would the Jeskeri Cultists claim? If they don't, the Practitioners won't just kill themselves off and cede the win to the Korathi. The Practitioners might do a few Inquisitions, but while the Korathi Cultist lives they won't be able to win anyway, and the Cultists may just take over eventually. Really I think the no-vote strategy will just lead to a Cultist win. A longer game means more Cultist kills, no lynch makes the Korathi Cultist invincible, and the Practitioners have to choose between going for their win con then bussing the KC or preserving their numbers by directly avoiding their wincon and waiting out the Korathi. Plus, I really don't like any strategy that relies on... not playing the game. Edit: ninja'd by Drake, ish.

    *Applauds* @Devotary of Spontaneity, I... can’t understand what you’re trying to say. Could you elaborate?
  21. Ashbringer
    ... No. I highly doubt that the Jeskeri will be "lynching themselves at a rapid rate" while the Korathi blockade any in-thread vote. Doing so would get them much further to their own win condition, but it won't win them the game. Because there's a Korathi Cultist. @Elbereth, you may want to look at this for balance reasons. As Lotus asked (and I believe the startup thread said, somewhere) the Jeskeri Inquisition can only hit people in the Jeskeri doc, meaning it can only kill Jeskeri Practitioners and Jeskeri Cultists. That means that without the main, in-thread lynch, the Jeskeri Practitioners cannot kill the Korathi Cultist, and therefore have no way of winning the game. That means that they either need to wait out the lack of votes by ignoring their Inquisition as well, or pray they can bus the Korathi Cultist to death with one shot and win before the Korathi pick them off one by one with their vote control. That would be highly unlikely, so I believe the Jeskeri Meanwhile, the Cultists will be free to pick off whomever they want, as their kill isn't dependent on a vote. They can also fairly easily take control of the Jeskeri Inquisition if they need an extra kill more than secrecy. I'm saying this from a Korathi perspective. For one thing, we'd be handing a lot of control over to the Cultists on a silver platter, and for another, we're forcing an entire faction, with a large set of numbers, into a scenario where their odds of winning are nearly zero. That doesn't sit well with me.

    Schrodinger had a sense of déjà vu again.

    Brightlord Faleast had a headache. Truth be told, he was rather surprised he still had a head. I see you've been busy, he thought at AraRaash. The kandra'd evidently been tapping gold very, very slowly throughout the past few days, and it seemed like he'd reattached any limbs lost in that freak highstorm. Faleast was still confused about that: one minute he'd been walking the perimeter on a clear day, the next someone had stuck a knife in his back and he was flying into the air. It was as if the Stormfather decided he needed to be removed from the area, in addition to those Diagrammists. AraRaash took over their shared mouth. "Almost done with everything. But since they saw us die... I didn't move until I knew the caravan was long gone." I take it no spren took much interest in a corpse, Faleast pondered. Ah well. I have another place in mind for us to try. I think you'll like it.
