Gag reflex. Imagine turning a corner to find someone left hunks of meat everywhere...
-
Faleast suddenly wanted a sandwich. He got up, leaving his duster hat - that was such a weird name for a hat - and went too look for a kitchen. He found a large mess of ... hurk, and Faleast decided that he no longer had an appetite. He told himself that someone had just smashed a meat pie to bits. Yes, that was what happened. Definitely. When Lord Faleast returned, his spot was taken by some Thug, his hat hanging on a nearby light switch. Faleast scowled and found another seat. Louder, but less.. messy.
-
*Applause* I think Faleast has been sitting in the same spot all day, but I’ll go with it.
-
If you want, Faleast can be sitting at the same table, as I haven’t specified where he really is. I won’t be super posty today (due partly to schoolwork and partly to the You-Know-Who suspicion incidents), but Faleast isn’t really talkative unless he’s forced into conversation. Until I decide otherwise, he’s a dusty old man from the Roughs who just wants to think things through and let cooler heads prevail. And take a nap. And not get killed.

Okay, like... Test Please Ignore Did that work? Edit: Yay!

Lord Faleast looked up from his chair. It looked like nobody had taken any initiative to bother him. There had been one curious individual, but they had seemed to be more interested in his accusers than the accused. Once a little storytelling and explanation had been delivered, Faleast actually found himself defending one of his accuser’s actions. Everyone is high-strung and paranoid right now. Lives are at stake. Expectations of social behavior can be set aside, for now. Fortunately, nobody was screeching claims anymore. It seemed like his “Faceless Immortal” comment had raised and then razed quite a discussion, and there wasn’t any more people trying to say as much as possible anymore. That was a relief. You’d think that people were paid for sentences or something. But it was much calmer now. It was almost too calm for Faleast’s liking. Nearly everyone was just sitting or leaning nonchalantly against the walls of their gilded cage. They looked to be resting, but Faleast could see their eyes sweeping from side to side, watching the crowd and the people within it. The anger may have subsided, but the tension was perhaps stronger than ever. There simply wasn’t much they could do but sit and wait. And that was exactly what Faleast was going to do. (I just realized I have no idea how to type in colors on mobile. Does anyone know how? That could make voting problematic.)

Pyro said it was more that I specifically tacked it on at the end, which made it look like I was mimicking people. Which makes some sense to me, but it’s risky to leave out when discussing You-Know-Who in such worried detail.

I get that this is mostly a joke, but I didn’t think we chose who the medallion went to. Otherwise 2-3 people could cycle it between themselves. And if it can’t go to someone who already has it, it could act as a scan function as to who had previously used the medallion. According to the doc, it’s random. Although it just occured to me you may have meant handing off the thing without actually using it. In which case, disregard this post. Speaking of which, how do buying medallions/charged spikes/lerasium beads work? I guess lerasium you get to pick which (allomantic) power you get, but are the spikes/medallions completely random? Or is it that x, y, and z are available, so pick one? If spikes are the same as medallions in that regard, a 10 boxing difference in the prices seems... quite low for the functionality difference. A one-time use then scrambled into the population versus a permanent ability for anytime use. Plus Feruchemy is much more straightforward. I’m not sure if “recant” is what I was trying to do, but I see what you mean. My meaning was yes it’s a worry that there’s more than an SK in play, but not an act-now-with-no-evidence worry. I did think I had hit something with my theory, but I want to avoid the chaos of... similar SK hunts. Cough. Plus multiple people getting suspicious about different things kind of threw me off. Pyro thought it suspicious that I specified that I was more worried about elims, which I tried to defend. Then Ventyl thought it was weird for me to write such a big post and then not advocate for searching for it, which is why I specified the elims in the first place. TL:DR, I’m apprehensive about The-Role-That-Must-Not-Be-Named, but more worried about elims who I know have multiple threats. And am easily confused.

Welp. Silberfarben was the only one here I’ve interacted with on the Alleyverse. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad for me.

Faleast covered his ears, pulling his widebrimmed hat from below his chair and sticking it on his head. Somewhere, he couldn’t quite tell, two people were bickering quite loudly. They didn’t even seem to be arguing over who was a Loyalist; it seemed that they were just trying to one-up each other for how many words they could spew out of their mouths at one time. Each trying to be the one to close the conversation. There was a third voice, acting as a commentator, or perhaps a secret third competitor. Ah well. Faleast leaned back again, drawing some strange looks from those around him. He glanced at them. “What?” he asked, pulling his duster back from his eyes and tightening his coat. “We’re going to be here a long time. Might as well get comfortable.” At least no one was pointing fingers at him anymore. He’d stricken up conversation with a few of his accusers, but they had seemed to take interest in other parties’ affiliations. They all seemed like nice people just trying to find a way out of a bad situation. Faleast kept his eyes open and uncovered - he’d try to rest, but if anyone else wanted to find or talk at him, he’d be right here waiting. Edit: And we have a new page again with new context! Although none really necessary for my post.

Tineye/Steelrunner? Thug/Steelrunner? Slider/Steelrunner? Double Steel? .... almost anything with F-Steel. Thug/Bendalloy is a double misting, not a Twinborn.

Just to clarify something, and put a quick cap on my kandra speeches; I’m mainly worried that the kandra isn’t an SK role at all, which is what most seemed to assume at the beginning. It’s not figuring out what abilities they have, it’s the fact that they likely do have something that we won’t expect from an SK role. Which I think most people are now at least somewhat convinced of. I also wanted to talk about it now because a) we have no actions/little conversation to lead to elim suspicons, and b ) I’m on mobile rn and can’t sift through messages to find my own suspicons. Both of those are probably from me being a newbie at being suspicious of people. Alright, no more Kandra talk from me. (But PM me if anyone wants to continue theorizing!) (Also, b ) without a space autocorrects to and I can’t undo it... so awkward spacing it is .)

Oh. Gotcha

...At risk of regaining attention, you still have a vote on me. So one vote needs to be retracted from someone.

Actually, with the Chromium feruchemy, is it possible to recieve items through RNG instead of through spending? Or is it only when someone with items is lynched? ... if I’m wrong, then I’m at a complete loss as to what F-Chromium does here. As I suppose I am in the real Mistborn books, so maybe it’s just supposed to be confusing. I’ll see what Xino’s analysis has to offer, or maybe @StrikerEZ you can clear it up.
-
Well, it’s better than a pool of 25 for all of us. If we maximize we can all get items, rather than just whoever is awake the longest at reset.
-
Cool. That makes our shopping lives easier.
-
@StrikerEZ - is the boxing cap per person or in total? Can each person earn 25 boxings per day, or can only 25 boxings be distributed to everyone?

Don’t discount a Slider’s protection ability. Since the redirect affects both the Slider and the Slid-ee, it’ll be a lot harder to stop a Slider from protecting someone than stopping a Lurcher, who has no self-protection. Also, where do we get that extra actions aren’t affected by the unique action limit? Because this seems to make a Duralumin Gnat more powerful than a Steelrunner and just as powerful as a Soulbearer, which seems very... off to me. Edit: What I mean is I could be right in worrying about the Kandra, or I could be completly off. I don’t want to start a full-scale hunt until we learn whether the Kandra even has kill potential. And doesn’t the village lose anyway if it’s 1 villager vs 1 elim? Is that how parity works?
-
Wait, so did your character accuse mine or not?
-
Faleast watched as a crowd gathered in one corner, led by three people all wanting to hear what someone called Lumen wanted to say. He thought it strange that so many would start accusing the same individual, even if they were all mostly frozen in shock. Then again, Lumen had evidently failed to say anything in his defense or to accuse another, merely muttering something about the mist and the rule doc everyone had, supposedly, seen. Only now that he was accused did his head rear. But the same silence could be attributed for many in this room. Then an individual turned and pointed to him. “You, Faleast. Do you have an excuse? Or will you just sit there alone?” Faleast sat up and shrugged. “I haven’t seen anything to draw my attention. I also don’t want to draw unwarranted attention. I just want to figure out if these Loyalists are the only threat that we have.” He nodded to himself. “There’s been a Kandra in the area. Who knows what a Faceless Immortal is capable of.” ——————— I just added it because I didn’t want my giant post on the fears that the Kandra could do more damage than we think to be taken as a suggestion towards starting another Kandra hunt. I’m worried, but I’d rather we let something actually happen before I act on that worry. And to be honest, I am trying to blend in, a bit. I don’t know what keys people off that a person is either Village or Elim, so I’m just trying to act neutral and natural. And people keep ninja’ing my long post... I’ll leave it at that. If you have any other questions let me know.

(Not quoting anyone because on mobile and through different pages it’s hard.) Just saying, I could be very wrong about what the Kandra is. However, we can’t ignore what it’s not. It’s not an SK role, since the Village/Elims can win over its head. It also doesn’t directly state whether it comes with a kill ability, or if it has Metallic abilities. However, it has to either have some form of killing or of surviving/perpetuating itself in order to have more than a random chance at victory. And the fact that the former isn’t specified makes me think it’s the latter. So it has to do something, we just have no real idea what that ability will be. I don’t think it’s Hemalurgy, either. I suppose the Kandra could have 1-2 uncharged spikes, but if you start as a Hemalurgist it sounds like you get a once-per-game kill that generates a spike in the black market, not in your inventory. Which wouldn’t help the Kandra any more than just having a kill ability or being a Coinshot would. If the Kandra doesn’t have some secret advantage, they’d have to play both sides perfectly in order to get them both to die off on the same turn. While I feel like it would be fun to attempt, I don’t think it could be pulled off, especially regarding voter parity. Again, I’m more worried about the elims.
-
I would also carry some suspicion of anyone attacked who survived with no real explanation. There may be Thugs and Lurchers out there, but I suspect the Kandra has at least a resistance to getting killed, maybe even lynched. It’s also possible that “was attacked, but survived!” could sometimes really mean “was attacked, didn’t survive, the Kandra ate the body and is now walking around with their bones” through some complex PMing, roleswapping, wincon shenanigans. Mayhaps if the Kandra “dies” in the same turn someone else is attacked, the attacked player survives as the new Kandra? Then the “dead” player can PM the living Kandra with what they know? ... wait. Would that explain the doc? ... unrelated question, are the thief/Hemalurgist known to be on one team or another? Or are they just mystery roles that could be Village or Elim (or Kandra)?
-
Both sections are over. I checked. Many more times than was probably necessary . The question is, since they're in the same post, do I get one or two boxings?
