I'll give you the post now TJ. Will edit with actual thoughts soon.

“I’d be glad to,” Cassie replied. Lord certainly had installed that fabrial quickly, although she supposed it couldn’t be incredibly difficult to secure it. A Stormlight-moving fabrial... that would make cracked amethysts much less of a worry if she could siphon the Stormlight within the pieces. Plus, it would let her use infused spheres that people paid her with to move the light to her amethysts or a less leaky gemstone. I wonder if there’s anywhere I can buy a perfect gemstone bank... ”Poller, look after the shop for me, will you?” she called again as the two left for Lord-son-son-Silberfarben’s shop.

... I think the reason I/we were suspicious is because you two were trying to do so much behind the scenes... Well, that backfired. Now my suspicions are back to square one, because I doubt Pyro could fool both Drake and I in order to lynch a certain target. So I think Pyro’s soft cleared at least by me.

15 minutes guys. My screen text is still tiny. One more vote ties Drake with XP. (ninja'd: maybe?) Got to go and eat dinner. I'll see how this plays out in a half hour or so. Faleast sat and wondered. It seemed that the votes being given by people were coming to a close. Suddenly Faleast's eyes drooped and everything seemed small. He was tired. Then he drifted off to sleep again.

Raow the kitten listened to the voices around the table. They were shouting again. It seemed they all thought one person was guilty that shouldn't be killed, and one person was innocent that should be killed. Or something. Raow wasn't very up to speed with the conversation yet, but he didn't really like all the talk of killing. It made it sound so complicated. There were hunters within the crowd, that much Raow had ascertained - he liked that word, ascertained - but the people didn't seem to know what to do. To Raow, hunting was simple. He, as a Felis catus, was the predator, and the mice were the prey. He found the mice, the mice ran, he chased the mice, the mice hid, he caught the mice, the mice died. That was always the sequence of things. Although now, Raow always found the hiding spots before the mouse did. He just tended to notice a spot where a mouse would tend to go. "Mraow," Raow excused himself, and leaped off the table. For humans, hunting seemed different. They seemed to know they were being hunted, but didn't see their hunters. They knew there were hunters, but refused to run or hide. And they seemed peculiarly convinced that they could find their hunters and be free of fear in time for an afternoon tea tonight. Raow walked over to where his landlord sat talking. He and his landlord had an interesting relationship from the past few days. He insisted that he was Raow's owner - what a concept - he liked that word, concept - and also had deluded himself into thinking Raow's name was "Lucky". Raow had yet to ascertain what sort of payment his landlord wanted from him - he'd tried paying in mice, but that seemed to disgust him, but he was always so proud when he caught one, peculiar - but Raow knew that he had no idea about anything about Raow. --- Side note, Raow is a bystander party in all of this. Faleast is my main "me" character here. So Raow's hunting analogy isn't meant to mean anything. Edit: somehow I made all the text and things small on the website when I tried to do command-I for italics and my finger slipped. HELP!

I figured out how to copy-paste posts, finally. Hmm. It's a fair reason to not want to vote for Karnage. This matches up with what you said earlier, but it still doesn't make sense why the statement you made earlier was taken as a message by Pyro to move off of Karnage. (Spoilered for Length) These are the only two posts I can find that refer to Karnage during the time when Pyro was voting for him. Neither appear to be a plea to Pyro not to lynch Karnage, just a statement that you didn't want to lynch Karnage last cycle. And yet Pyro claims to have taken it as such and quickly moved his vote off of Karnage. That's very odd. It appears that Karnage isn't getting lynched today under any circumstances, so I'll probably move my vote. I'm not entirely suspicious of the XP vote, but neither do I have any solid suspicions on XP. Drake, however, I'm coming to suspect more and more. I'm convinced that Drake and Pyro are doing something together, I just don't know what they're up to. Then again, I'm loathe to start or follow another bandwagon after what happened last time. Besides XP, Araris has been fluctuating in votes, while Kyndeth is just now rising... and Mage is also suspicious of Drake for other reasons. You know what, fine. Drake. Let's see what happens with this, but I'm keeping an open mind. I'm fairly certain that Drake and Pyro are on the same team, so lets see if one flips Elim. Ooooh, or maybe they're both Kandra... And, of course, I am ninja'd by Drake. Well, I think my analysis answers your door #3. How do you respond to the rest?
-
HE SPEAKS! THE SUMMONED ONE SPEAKS! ... also, TGK (The God King?) posted at least once Day 1. So they haven't been entirely inactive, just overwhelmingly inactive. ... now our only inactive is Hatz. Fantastic. Edit: I second Araris' recommendation.
-
Mainly I'm just curious, because I've been sitting on the fence as to whether I suspect Drake as Elim or not. If he thinks that I'm the only one he fully trusts as village, I'm curious why when no one else seems to. And if Drake flips Elim, that could look very odd for me. Well, then disregard that part (Note: I'm going to edit this, but I can't reply to two different things on two different pages at once)
-
In PM, I assume. Since I don’t see anything in here to suggest so. @DrakeMarshall, you have a reason you don’t want Karnage to die? (Apologies if you’ve said it somewhere, I’ve been jumping inbetween different tabs to look for clues all day.... )
-
Faleast woke up. That was a bit suprising for him. For one thing, with all the shouting going on last night and the coffee being distributed, he didn’t actually remember falling asleep last night. He must have slept through most of the day. For another thing, there had been a lot of angry faces staring at him last night, and Faleast had been fairly certain that once he fell asleep he might never awaken again. Ah well. He was a lot older than he tended to look; old enough that dying in his sleep was a possibility in any circumstance, let alone this one. If a bullet or coin didn’t get him in the back, this whole predicament might make his heart fail. Best to make the most of whatever time he had left. Faleast surveyed the room. It was a bit different than he’d remembered. In fact, he was in a different place than he’d remembered - either someone moved his sleeping form in the middle of the morning, or he’d been sleepwalking again. Besides that, there was a kitten lounging on one of the tables, and the discussion seemed quite different than he’d seen yesterday. Today it was more analytical, civilized. And yet, the anger from before was still palpable in the air, just not as present in the facial expressions. Faleast knew who his suspects were. He’d shared them plenty, and knew that there was a good chance he was either right or wrong. It was so hard to tell these days who was telling the truth. Well, I’m telling the truth, as far as I can see it. But I don’t think anyone will believe me while I still live and can lie. Faleast’s eyes narrowed as he viewed the crowd of people. But by Harmony, I’ll try my best. ——— And now for some Experience analysis. Most of this has probably been said by others, but here’s what I see. XP was the first person to vote on Hatz, way before Coda was even in danger. XP then switched his vote to Coda, stating that Coda “must” be an Elim because Araris suggested XP and Coda were on seperate teams. Araris clarified he meant that he didn’t think that XP and Coda were both Elims, which XP aknowledged but didn’t change his vote. XP also made a lot of different posts on C1, but very little real analysis on posts. Just small posts competing with Pyro for most posts and some RP. Analysis: suspicious behavior, but I don’t know if Elim-suspicious or weird-suspicious. I can support a lynch, but again there are people I’m more suspicious of. Speaking of such, I’d like to point out that Pyro took the first opportunity to take his vote off Karnage with no real reasoning. Don’t know if that’s indicative but it’s there. Edit: Which swing group is this refering to? The Karnage>Hatz swing was Pyro, Ash, Drake, and then Mist sorta. That’s not the same group voting for Experience now - Elandera also voted for XP last round, while Araris and Ventyl voted for Coda.

(I was trying to type this up a while ago, but then I switched pages and it deleted itself...) I think I just missed this, because for the most part I have been rather odd in different ways, but I may as well say it now. I never voted for Araris, or even mentioned them (I think). I wanted to create a tie between Karnage and Coda, but got forced into making a tiebreaker, where I picked Karnage for the lynch (pressured to make a vote choice since I was at 2 votes myself). Then I ended up in the Karnage>Hatz train, where I think I thought I was helping to make a 3 way Coda-Karnage-Hatz tie, but instead led to... whatever happened. In hindsight if I was interested in pure self-preservation I shouldn’t have changed, but I doubted anyone would turn on me so quickly and so late in the game. If you replace Araris with Coda, then you’re mostly right, where I helped make Coda get back into tie-territory instead of just lynching Karnage. Coda was fun in the SHOUT thread and I didn’t really want him to die, but I was still willing to keep him in the tie so there could actually be a tie. And I never voted for him, only Karnage/Hatz. If that’s not it, then I have no idea what you mean. (Matrim, maybe that explains why I voted Karnage? I think that’s what happened, although how rational my actions were so late at night I have no idea.)

I'm going to try something a little different. @DrakeMarshall, why do you think I'm Village? On your list, besides yourself, I'm the only person that you have as Village instead of "slightly Village", which somehow I don't know if I warrant. I'll take a look at Experience, and probably Pyro/Drake's tones in an attempt to read someone. Not voting on Walin until someone else does, because following the Pyro vote is how I got us into this mess in the first place. Although Pyro did take the first opprotunity to take his vote off Karnage... I agree a different vote is probably better. --------- (Part the fourteenth, also known as the part of two baker’s half-dozens, because in the ye olden days of Old Elendel, bakers who rounded down were executed.) Confident Indecision Maker: Upon review of BUDGETARY PROPOSAL, that would only work if the members of the SHOUTY-SHOUT AGENCY!!! was made public! I don't think we could be allowed to earn BOXINGS from ACTIVITY that is ANONYMOUS!!! Probably because it complicates TAXATION AND SUCH to have UNDECLARED SOURCES OF INCOME!!! The Intern: Exclamation points, Great and Mighty Game Master!! We could each post 200 words rounding up for sentences of this, rotating through all members! Confident Indecision Maker: Given the overall levels of STELLAR ACTIVITY in this game, I can see why TRACKING PM ACTIVITY might be WAY TOO MUCH to deal with in addition to the RIDICULOUS AWESOMENESS HAPPENING IN-THREAD!!! The Representative: ALTERNATIVELY you could simply put it in the writeup and not pay us! If you do so, I ask that we remain anonymous, as not earning BOXINGS from PUBLIC ACTIVITY without clearly stating so on the taxation form would COMPLICATE things!!! (Then, there was almost an ad break, but the Narrator realized that had been done by the old narrator.)

Walin and Hatz have both not posted at all, I believe. Devotary hadn’t posted either (I think), but apparently responded to a PM of Pyro’s, while Walin and Hatz did not. Edit: Incendiaries, Activate!
-
Sure. I’d rather lynch someone I/we have listed suspicions about than an inactive, but lynching Walin would be fine by me. ... not that I could say much different in this situation... I’m still more suspicious of Pyro and Karnage (and kinda Drake) but I hereby pledge to join a vote train on Walin (assuming it isn’t started by any of those three, in which we should be cautious). Speaking of situations, I kinda get the suspicions on me from Mage. Last round I was trying to be overly neutral and that... very much backfired, so this round I’m going into “I’m village and if you lynch me it will prove it” mindset/gambit. I’m just happy I didn’t get lynched C1 for all my Kandra conspiracy theories . However, I still don’t want to be dead. I’m having too much fun to be dead, and while I agree it could help to know for certain my alignment, there are individuals it would be better, in my opinion.

“Great!” Cassie replied. “You can put the smoke detector near my smithy, please. Which fabrial have you made progress on?” “And Poller,” she called out, “please watch the shop while I’m away. I have to do a Soulcasting for Lord here.” Poller sat up, gripping his bronze armrest. “You can count on me, Miss!”
-
Hmm. Pyro, speaking of not mentioning things, you took out @Walin out out of your lynch recommendations halfway through. I wasn't the first to only mention Hatz, you were. I just took the one most referenced in the thread. (I can't get the quote to copy-paste with the box and everything, but see for yourself, page 27 of the main thread.) Also, WHY IS EVERYONE DOUBLE POSTING. :-:-:-:-:-: A small cabinet opened on one of the walls, and out jumped a kitten. Raow the kitten was very confused. Just yesterday, a large quantity of people had come into his house. He didn't know who they were, although he could see his landlord among the crowd, laughing and cheering and yelling and pointing and waving around steel objects like the rest. Raow thought this might be unusual, but Raow wasn't very experienced with thinking. He'd only started about a week ago. Raow decided to walk around a bit. It appeared that his landlord had forgot to set out his food bowl again, but no matter; he did see his landlord was very busy, and he'd found where they kept the food two days ago. Raow hopped up to the cabinet, then pawed open the door to see that bag of delicious... pellets. Raow sighed, then started to eat. He'd have to try human food sometime. Appetite sated to its normal level - Raow knew that eating too much could be bad, but he wasn't sure how, he wasn't very experienced with thinking - Raow decided to go for a walk. Avoiding humans' legs, tables, and chairs, Raow took a look at the different people. They were all smiling, which was good, but for the first time he noticed how tense those smiles were. They looked happy, but he didn't think they were. Raow decided to investigate a little. He hopped on a table, copper fur gleaming in the lamplight. "Mraow?" he asked the gathered individuals. If anyone had looked closely, started petting carefully, they may have noticed four tiny, gleaming copper circles in the fur of Raow's spine. Raow thought they were a little strange. His landlord had put them in a week ago, and they had hurt terribly. But now, he barely thought about them. Raow wasn't very experienced with thinking.

Uhh... you’re not supposed to post twice in a row. It makes people (mods) mad. ... why I’m not sure, but we’re supposed to avoid it.
-
Ohhhh. So someone could have Soothed a vote before it got changed. That makes more sense. Edit: Right? Edit Edit: Gotcha Reading, although you may have said that already. It’s not something that really points to anything.
-
The defendant is present and pleads “I have no idea”. His alibi stands that he was storing at the time of the incident. Hmm. Really it’s not your actions but your predicament that place you under my suspicion. It could be just an inactive lynch that derailed itself, but the only vote manipulation besides Reading’s singular vote on Mist was the one Soothing on Hatz. By that point, you should have been safe from the lynch, and Soothing Hatz would have been contradictory toward your own attempted vote. Your vote shall stay, for now, but I am interested in hearing from and about some of the people more active last round who have yet to show in force. Emi, along with @Matrim's_Dice and @Kynedath. Any thoughts? Suspicions? Anyone willing to claim or hypothesize to Hatz’s Soother? Plus, I’m interested to see if Pyro’s vote will stick around this time. But I’m fine with lynching another target. (Ninja’d by Xino, although not to much effect.)
-
In addition to Coda not having any Feruchemy abilities, I can confirm that not everyone has multiple roles. I’m just a Misting. I want a Feruchemy spike... Ventyl knows my role (and I know his, assuming he told me the truth, but I’m not telling), but he seemed easily convinced of my innocence. Other than that, he seemed a little off toward how quickly he went from suspecting me to confiding in me. I trust him, but more out of the hope that village!Ventyl and I working together can be a good team than any real reading. I still read him neutral, but am wary (which is essentially how I’m reacting to most people... As to the lynch, poking Karnage. @Karnage, I’d like to see your take on what happened with the voting on Friday. The more viewpoints we can get on the situation, the easier we can pin down if someone (and who) was behind it all, or if it was just a bandwagon that lost a wheel or three.
-
^ Also, item passing takes an action.
-
? ... oh, found it. That was before the slip. Still, no PM mention of Hatz (or Karnage, for that matter). Just in favor of making a tie out of Coda’s lynch. Which I think I mentioned happening somewhere. About 1 hour before reset, FYI (well, for TJ).
-
I feel like there has to be a better defense for Pyro than “you’re tinfoiling again”. It’s less the vote itself, more the fact he stated he wouldn’t be on to say anything while leaving a vote that he therefore would likely never get the chance to change. ———— Well, Pyro seems to agree we never PM’d. I agree it doesn’t necessarily mean we’re on the same team, but it means that the swap to Hatz was at least semi-spontaneous (in regards to Pyro and I, IDK the rest). The PM with Drake I believe he’s refering to is in the SHOUT PM, where Pyro and Drake seemed to forget which PM they were in. They mentioned that there’s likely 1-2 elims in “that PM”, and then Pyro said of the group he suspected me (Ash) and Mist. Up to you guys to decide whether such a “slipup” is feasible or a ploy, but Hatz was never mentioned. Pyro should have mentioned that... Pyro. For now. Edit: Spontaneous combustion has occured. Deploying Flame-Retardant countermeasures. Can this please not turn into a back-and-forth between me and TJ all day?
-
I’m sort of stuck on who to vote for. My main suspicion is Pyro, but Karnage and maybe Mist as well. And if I lead a Pyro lynch and he flips Village... that won’t go well for me. I have one other suspicion, but it’s personal for now since it’s more about me than them. I guess I’ll poke Pyro, at least until he says something about our PMs. He did nearly get 2 different inactives lynched, and he’s my only suspect that I think has more truth than conspiracy at its heart.
