Ashbringer

I'll take a spec doc!

I’m… mark me as busy until July, I will maybe be free enough to play but not to run. (Plus summertime I’ll have time to Shard Game possibly)

Cindra didn't even help Makazi bake anything This is called "Ash realized he could do something with about 2 hours remaining in the turn" I realized the test would need to be D3 but too late to change it. Mostly it was checking who had Keaton, assuming that there was no way both Burnt and Doc would be Elim. But also it was supposed to rob a redirect. Also, had I not gotten NKed, Circus Mask would help extra check, but I was... well... ... turns out you can insert GIFs into google docs Behold! The entire L1 dead doc! Oh you guys figured that out before we did. It's a little ironic the thing that convinced Wahr I was telling the truth was the PM I'd sent to E!Doc though I got... very invested. Partially because I wanted to fix my micro-disaster of my mayoral campaign. Partially because at that point my IRL mental was stuck (end of semester experiments go brrr) Also people didn't keep pinging Wonko after he died

I'm pretty sure I get it. I'd figured out that if I bought either silver-rupee Masks I'd just get NKed before I could use either of them. Which meant my options for a D1D (heh) were either 1) try Mayoring everything out before my death, 2) preventing my death, or 3) just going Dingo and seeing what everyone else would do. Mayoring would suck, especially because my loop N1C Mayoring went so well, but also because I knew to some degree what to do differently - force people to buy masks in D1 to identify who was getting which, and that's... lame. Also because it would involve keeping Burnt alive until Final Day so we weren't stuck on a 50/50 then, which would also suck to try and accomplish and for Burnt. Oh, also I'd be dead again, and... well, if you read the loop 3 dead doc you can see how much trying to wrangle a village through Hael's translations and the wild tinfoil theories of suspicious villagers and deflecty elims sucks. (Seriously, why is believing there was a secret ghost Captain Elim in the L1 Dead Doc easier than maybe Ashbringer is actually doing something ) Preventing my death would suck, because I would need to grab Stone, and if I were doing things optimally probably also grab the other defensive Masks (Romani) to know for sure that we wouldn't get blindsided by an Elim that just didn't die D3, and then I've just made myself immortal, which means I'm stuck Mayoring whether I like it or not. Also I still don't get the fun 100-Rupee Masks. Then option 3 is just dropping a vote on Mist and just RPing the entire time I was alive (ie going Dingo, which I'm realizing many people weren't here for). Which despite knowing the village was winning, I still went for, because... man I'm tired and I spent half the game in a dead doc But this day working how it did is kinda an example of why Loop 4 would be broken - the Village has everything it needed to figure out the Elim team, minus Coco/Twin and without my help. Played normally it would just be this over 10 days while the Elims juggle control masks and the Village juggle protective masks and neither side can really control the outcome of those, and with many decisions they could make premade for them. (Except Stone Mask. Hence why Stone Mask is really the only mech problem I have with the game - that thing is too dang strong lol)

I got a sliver! Sort of! Through AraRaash thievery and asking Aman nicely!

This is why we don't elect Ashbringer the Lategamer as Mayor I don't think I managed to say one correct thing in that entire post and yet it still worked kind of almost But also I didn't particularly trust any of you. I trusted you most, but also you had the most capacity of Doc/Burnt/Mist to be thread-control-running. Which you almost did. I'm sure we'll get more into that per Aftermathy things but whoo boy

... welp

Well then, only one choice left to make - ... Twinstorm.

It had been a long time since Rashe had well and truly stolen something. Well, he hadn't exactly stolen it. He'd paid for the Great Fairy Mask, leaving his blood-earned Rupees behind in the vault the Happy Mask Salesman had hidden. The Mask Salesman didn't look exactly Happy with this bargain, but Rashe supposed that this would be the first time he'd heard about it. But Coliver. She looked at him, trying to process what a human or Zora mind should not. "How did you... why did you... you..." Rashe looked down at the Mask. It was such a simple thing, really. Where he came from Masks had symbolic value, but not particularly powers. But the power to bring back the dead... that was a power that was hard to come by. In fact, he'd only truly held it once.... Once. Long ago, before his strife. So, so long ago. He could use it. It wouldn't fix things, but it would be one step in the staircase that he knew had an ending somewhere in that great infinity. Or he could bring Cindra back, the one he'd killed. Thistle, the one who'd died. Maybe, perhaps, Majora... though why he'd make that choice he'd have to find out when it happened. That was the problem with bad choices. They usually seemed like a good idea at the time. Then an idea came to him. This was his first time around, he'd already gotten what he'd come to find... and he'd found someone who knew a bit more about him than he thought he'd tell in a very long time. "Coliver. I want to show you something. Something else," he whispered, really whispered, this time. A whisper that only Coliver could hear. A whisper that carried the sound of ringing tin, and the faintest music from Ap's ocarina, and the echo of the eye. "What?" Coliver said, clearly beyond the point of... caring. Well, maybe this would change that. "What it looks like to lose," Rashe said simply. And then, for a moment, they were on another world. Then the moment passed, as all moments do. Coliver said nothing, at first. Rashe did the same. "... what did I say?" she finally asked. "I don't know," Rashe said, truthfully. "That's my curse. The curse of the multiverse, the curse of decisions... you chose to die, to save them. You chose to let the world stay as it was, to end your story. You refused all choices and ran for the fire. That one's probably going to happen a lot, to be honest." Coliver was shaking. "I... I... I don't understand." "That's the nice thing about choices," Rashe said, standing, placing the Mask above his head. "You don't need to understand. You just have to make one. I'll see you, Coliver." Rashe activated the Great Fairy Mask. Power flowed into him... into the him who was AraRaash... and into his body... And he smiled.

So you're saying I don't need to filibuster my vote in order to fit more RP in

Coliver watched from the ground. No one seemed to bother her. They knew she'd been killed by the Dreamers too many times to be one. But that they'd been there... all this time... all she could do was watch. Watch as Rashe himself cut Cindra down for the crime of having killed him the loop before. Watched Mee grabbed and pummeled. Watched Thistle - Thistle - create a bouquet of farewells and leave the room, and Amora drag her limp body back in tears. Watched now, as the screaming surrounded Mumbo. It wasn't screaming, per se. The Happy Mask Salesman had set an example. It was methodical, even by some means polite. Not much emotion reached the mouths of the participants, though some had tears running down their cheeks. Others had eyes of stone. The killers. Rashe. Kieran, perhaps. The Mask Salesman, no longer pretending to keep the first third of his namesake. If Mumbo died, it'd be over. No, it was already over. That was the point, right? That they'd won? Coliver wondered who they were, that had won. And suddenly Rashe wasn't standing with the others, hand on his sword. He'd moved, just as fast as that other time. Now he was crouched beside her, giving a smile. Not one of kindness, but one of understanding... or if Coliver tilted her head, one of having gotten away with something he should not have. "Hey. Hey, Coliver. Look what I found," he said, not bothering to whisper. In his hands was a Mask with the face of a Fairy.

Wait I still need to RP

Believe him

(Are the Wayward actually killing the people we’re exeing here? Or just menacing them into not releasing Majora? Rashe isn’t above just cutting someone down, but also he’s not going to just do that if that’s not the consensus)

Operation Siracha saves the day?
