    LG95 Day Four: Wrath (Writeup to come, unless I find another song to use instead) * * * Fifth Scholar was killed! They were a Standard of Unity Researcher! Braize has been Destroyed! No Shards have Breached Containment! * * * Well, that took longer than I wanted. Day Four has begun! There will be an execution this cycle. The following players are being warned for inactivity: @The Last Fæ, @Walin. Please post during this turn or I will find pinch hitters. (Speaking of which, I could use pinch hitters.) A few more players haven't posted during the last Night Turn / have only posted once or twice during the last cycle. This turn will end on 10:00 PM PDT / 5:00 AM GMT (+1 Day) on June 17th, in ~46 hours. And I'll be working that night so rollover will be extended again! Yay.

    Time! Rollover long-ly.
  3. Ashbringer
    30 minutes!
  4. Ashbringer
    About 1 hour and 15 minutes until rollover! Get your actions in! Rollover might take a bit longer than normal - I’m not working but Aman is busy and I do have an event at ~10 that shouldn’t take long, but I’m not sure how long.
  5. Ashbringer
    Tbh, I haven’t been tracking it, I’ll post warnings in the Day. Yes (assuming you don’t count Autonomy’s in-thread player vote).

    LG95 Night Three: Face the Music In her first manifestos, Khriss had spoken of a Harmony, the Tones of the cosmere coming together. At the time, Hoid had advocated for it, the 17th Shard had admired it, and Sazed’s Ascension had made it seem possible. But now the factions were split, and the cosmere resounded with the final words of an Avatar of Autonomy. The song was beautiful. But it was no harmony. It was so, so alone. There wasn't much they could do. Tessa claimed responsibility using a piece of Odious Investiture she had obtained, and the greater 17th Shard did not condemn them. Professor Uther claimed the greater Shard, and the 17th Shard did not condemn them. Xorial, however. They were condemned. And perhaps unjustly. Or perhaps necessarily. For the sake of finding that harmony. But on another planet of Tones, the music was returning, rebounding, as if nothing had changed at all. * * * xinoeph512 was executed! They were a 17th Shard Researcher! The Avatar PIANO has been re-created on Roshar!

    I will note, Hoid now can Fuse Splintered Shards, so Odium can’t shut down his SD wincon anymore. (Because of this specific interaction + Khriss not having any similar interaction.) And yes, Splintered Shards in Containment act like normal Shards in Containment. You can still Siphon from them and they can still Breach.
  10. Ashbringer
    They bypass that too. … you know I looked at that and then didn’t edit it. Whoops.
  11. Ashbringer
    Yep, any time a Shard changes state it'll be announced in the writeup (Breached, Contained, Splintered, Invested in a Shardworld, Fused, or the undoing of any of those).

    LG95 Day Three: Sing Us A Song (Actual writeup to come tomorrow hopefully but it's been long enough) * * * PIANO was killed! They were an Avatar! DrakeMarshall was attacked, but survived! No Shard has left containment! * * * Day Three has begun! There will be an execution this cycle. Sorry for the delay. This turn will end on 10:00 PM PDT / 5:00 AM GMT (+1 Day) on June 14th, in ~46 hours. I will be available for D3 and N3 rollover but D4 may have delay issues again, so I'll figure something out for that. Shard Status: Player List: Clarifications:

    LG95 Night Two: Fault Sart's death had to mean something. It had to. The 17th Shard may have changed over the millenia, but the core tenets were still the same. Nonintervention, unless the cosmere itself was at stake. Perhaps it now was, but to kill an innocent... Someone had to mean something. Someone had to know. Someone had to PAY. And so someone was found, accused of being at fault. For Sart's death, for Autonomy and Ruin and Odium's release, for whatever. They were known for a line of ones with strange alliances. And so Felt Jr., another innocent, died. * * * TheAlpha929 was executed! They were a 17th Shard Researcher! The Avatar PIANO has been created on Scadrial! Vote Count: TheAlpha929 (4): Kasimir, DeTess, xinoeph512, Matrim's Dice Matrim's Dice (1): |TJ| Fifth Scholar (1): Archer xinoeph512 (1): Elandera Szeth_Pancakes (1): Araris Valerian * * * Night Two has begun! One other thing I want to mention, because I've seen it discussed a little bit and commented on in non-thread places: the design intent behind the (non-Autonomy) Independent Shardic Win Conditions is that none will be directly opposing a main faction win condition. Some may be more opposing to one faction than another, and some Shards may be more opposing to each other, but in theory any faction should be able to win alongside any of the Independent Shards. (There is also some design intent that, in theory, multiple people can win off the win condition of the same Shard, but I'm not sure how successful I was with that in practice + the clause that you will never be converted to a strictly impossible win condition still applies.) This turn will end on 10:00 PM PDT / 5:00 AM GMT (+1 Day) on June 12th, in 24 hours, approximately. I do have work until about 11, but for this time I'm going to end the turn at the usual time and figure out how long that will actually make the rollover pause take and/or how feasible it is for @Amanuensis to do rollover solo. If that becomes not feasible rollover will likely change. (Also thank you Aman for handling so much, you're a lifesaver and I will continue to say so <3 ). Shard Status: Player List: Clarifications:

    Time! Rollover Shortly-ish.
  16. Ashbringer
    For now, I think rollover will be at the same time. But I'm working evening shifts now and closing means rollovers may take longer than usual (particularly the one tomorrow). If it gets too late I may make a more official change.

    LG95 Day Two: Spilled Blood and Splintered Bones Brett wandered the halls of the academy. There were quite a lot of halls, though Brett chose the ones he followed carefully. Someone had been this way. He was sure. He wasn’t sure how he was sure, but he didn’t need to think about much. He didn’t have a brain, after all. Brett was the name given to one of Sojya’s skeletals, the slightly grisly observation system she employed. There were a few around the Shardic Containment at any point, but with the breach of Ruin there were about twenty watching the still-broken doors. Each one was keyed to a certain type of Investiture. And while they did not react to the people passing by, they did to the things they wore. And then Brett snapped his skull up, the scent of his target overwhelming all over senses. He ran towards the source. Unfortunately, Brett was just a skeletal. And Odium does not tolerate interference. Sart was staying careful. Two Shards had breached, and if those alarms were anything to suggest, at least one had just joined them. Best to take it carefully in these times. But people reacted different ways to alarms, to panic. And someone had evidently mistaken Sart's care for concealment. Or perhaps they just saw an opportunity. And blood was shed. * * * Sart was killed! They were a 17th Shard Researcher! Odium has Breached Containment! Drake Inferno has requested a pinch hitter, and has been replaced by @Walin! Welcome them to the game! * * * Day Two has begun! There will be an execution this cycle. This turn will end on 10:00 PM PDT / 5:00 AM GMT (+1 Day) on June 11th, in 48 hours. Rollover will likely change the next Night (I still don't have my schedule) and I'll let you know when it does. Good luck to all! Shard Status: Player List: Clarifications:

    LG95 Night One: Ties and Connections Autonomy may have reentered the cosmere with a whisper, but the force of Ruin was a roar. People whispered in the streets of Silverlight that the academy had had a breach, that two of the worst Shards had been released and no one knew where they were or who really held them. There were worse rumors, there always were, but in a place as Invested as Silverlight people began to seek out the truth. Most people were concerned. Most. The promise of power had drawn many ears. Most people seemed to balk at actually releasing more shards, as some like Telan and Letta advocated for a stronger containment system all together. Others wanted power, or gave the wishy-washy responses often connected to almost-concealed desire for a fragment of a deity. Others took neither side, caught up in memories. Memories that, perhaps, they should not have. Depends on your point of view, does it not? Regardless, those who remembered the last time the Shards of Adonalsium were given to beings to control kept largely to themselves. They had their own plans, whether to right past wrongs, earn the power that was kept from them before, or just to survive. Ivam the Mad was not one of these. Ivam the Mad was, well, mad. As the people became concerned over the potential for further Shard breaches, they looked for who had changed. Ivam was perhaps one, because Ivam was different from day to day. Oliver Cosmos was another, a rather chaotic individual for a Company man. Perhaps that would have fit Whimsy better, but chaos and entropy go hand in hand. These were the two confronted by the others. Eventually they came to face one another. Ivam offered a truce, another one of several to help unite, but the cause of Unity was one that had gone to another voice no longer welcome in Silverlight. And yet, the crowd dispelled, aid unneeded, the Last Word unsaid. Silverlight soon felt emptier. And another corner of the cosmere felt a bit more... individual. * * * No one has died!

    As Aman notes, ties result in no deaths. There are still deaths in the game though, in total
