Bah, it seems I become busy only when I decide to play SE. I'll try to catch up for a bit, then back to work. I want to point out that the self-assured tone of Sart is not an alignment indicative for him. I used to think so, but LG92 dispelled that theory. In a past game, I think most likely LG67, he caught e!Striker with single very strong assertive post which made me think it was village indicative of him. But he did the same thing when accusing Aman in LG92 of being evil because of fake-claiming the presence of football roles. I have issues figuring out players who have joined while I was gone like Wiz, Silho, and even though TKN is an older player, I include here because he frankly feels like a brand new player to me. Basically, all these players feel newly joined to me, and I always ignore looking for AI in new players until later cycles because they always feel suspicious to me. Their AI usually because clear automatically as the game progresses. Though Wiz seems to be doing a lot of asking (not exactly helpful questions) and a lot less solving, hmm. This appears to be faking contribution. See, I cannot not read this a suspicious. Which is why I ignore it and make it a problem for later. If v!Ash, then it means that Xino train wasn't elim motivated... which leads to confusion regarding Sart. Smh. A. Nope, I was the first to mention suspicion on you. Kas hadn't voted for you at the time of my post. B. How was it opportunistic? And I have no idea where you got the last sentence from. I suspected you and Ash independently and never mentioned any connection between you both. And smh haven't you guys ever experienced this - You suspect someone more but you feel someone else has a higher chance of being evil? Emotion v Logic argument here. Too self aware? But why post about being self aware if evil? I've not seen Sart post like this so I'm not sure how to read this tbh. But I think I suspect Sart less than I did from the start of the cycle. Same tbh, I expected a pushback against Archer because why should a plea for someone to be active be accompanied by a poke vote in like mid-cycle? Or why the lack of one is suspicious? Crafted how? That feels like a very generic statement. You did not mention it when Kas felt it was odd, and neither when Stick mentioned it. You're only joining in now when there's a vote on me. Wiz Ash

Didn't notice this edit, but yeah this is where I am right now. Ash > Sart > Xino Yeah I just realised she just pust the doc link and said "its somewhere in there, search for" xD so not as effort-worthy as I thought initially. Edit: Ninja'd I think I didn't make myself clear enough. Sart is more suspicious [due to his post/vote] but Ash is more likely to be evil [but due to other players' votes/posts].

Basically e!Ash would lead to e!Wiz. And I feel like xino is being bought up as a counter against Ash, so e!Ash would also lead to v!Xino. These are the conditionals I was talking about. The square bracket is a separate point mentioning that I've noticed there's an elim that comes under fire and gains traction in the first half of the first cycle and it eventually falls off because players say along the lines of "something's wrong" and then we don't really recall the player being under fire at all until mid-end game. I feel like this is happening here. Also - This dude looks like this other dude -

I swear I started typing this like 3 hours ago and I keep getting called to work, smh. Hmmm, Couple of thoughts, Stick's over-analysis of Xino's self-annoyance at getting vote count wrong was a bit weird. I'm not getting any alignment indications from the interaction but I was like "why this line of inquiry?" Anyone jumping on xino after my initially gut evil read of them, I suspect. That's Sart and Wiz. Hmm, why? I was thinking more like e!Ash -> e!Wiz at this juncture, as I feel like xino is being brought up as a counter to e!Ash. I'm more suspicious of Sart than Ash as I feel like the whole "Really? I'd like to be proven wrong" comes off as artificial and though the sole Ash post leans towards his evil meta, I don't really get a stronger opinion from the post. But I'm voting for Ash as I feel the conditionals [early vote spike and the ultimate fall-off which we do not reconsider till like D4] here make him more likely to be evil. Mild village on Stick. Looking for xino AI content by searching for the docs seems very v!Stick [showing effort to help the village without seeming fake], but... I mentioned this is the last game I think, so not sure if e!Stick tries to emulate this. Cautious read for now.

I had not realised you had voted on Stick or Xino. The Stick vote, I'll be honest, I think that hideous thing distracted me. But I'm still not able to find your Xino vote? Uhhh, I felt wrong about the voting, not about voting on Mat :P. But in the same way, I'm feeling wrong before I'm voting now, so you're evil? :P.

smh, I don't want to make voting on gut in D1 a habit >> I prided myself on not poke or gut-voting and voting only on suspicion in D1 and I want to see if I can catch some suspicious elims. That Mat vote felt fundamentally wrong the minute I put it down in the last game :P.

Someone asked the question - "What happens if you cross a dementor with an octopus?" because that's terrifying. :P. What's FNG? I can understand with the context, but what does it stand for? And agreed, Alpha gut village. Also, gut evil xino. There's always one poke-vote in every game that seems so off to me. Edit: Hi, welcome to SE! I direct you to this thread for basic rules. To get an idea about the game, you can follow this one from a spectator doc. @Matrim's Dice can provide the link for that if you're interest.

Alrightt, sign me up as Tark.

This was interesting to work through. I'd love to play if it was run again in the future. Thanks for running this @Araris Valerian and @Devotary of Spontaneity, it was very much fun to play.

gg Stick! I was fully on board the slave -> parshmen -> parshendi train smh >>

The only way you die from an arrow/pistol/long range weapon by only leaving a partial mark on the body is through blood loss. If it causes severe injury, it should have passed through head/chest. If it only leaves a partial, it should have caused blood loss. Partial + Severe Injury = Not long range weapon.

Probably Wiz - [Coin, Sword, Pistol (for the loss of blood from the chest)] + Corroded Silver [presence of water causes corrosion]

I think Araris chose Cause of Death as Severe Injury, not to be specific but to rule out all Poison items, Melee Weapons and Long Range Weapons causing blood loss. The specific indication here is likely Slave because he specifically chose that over Peasant. And the answer is likely evidences that are unique to Slave.

I keep thinking Araris RNGs for the location column and then chooses the best in that column, my bad. Yeah, I'm not that convinced about Shardblade and there's no appropriate old slave in wilderness Evidence for Nightblood too, which is why it did not make the final list. Yeah which is why either the method or the evidence has got some form of animal attack in it. Thoughts on Archer/Parshendi/Claw Marks instead? [like swap Stone in your guess for Parshendi].

Okay so first thoughts - Severe Injury without the loss of blood points towards something like broken neck or a bash to the skull. Hint on the corpse but partial but not head means neck is a pretty good guess. Wilderness likely points out to an animal attack imo, because iirc we were discussing it in the first round and Araris would have thought that it was the easiest way to denote it. Method is not any kind of weapon that causes blood loss, obviously. So pistol/axe/bow and arrow and the likes are not viable. So, method of murder either an animal or a non-blood-loss-causing weapon. Evidence related to an old slave living in the Wilderness [note: likely NOT Parshendi as there is the better option of Fields -> Plains -> Shattered Plains {rethinking this, I need to ask people if they think the same because I'm now thinking it's weird I am linking Parshendi to Field}] Shardblade COULD denote it would be without bloodloss and there isn't a particular body part required specifically to be pierced to kill the person. Could say the same for Nightblood. A fang mark COULD be a partial, so not discounting Meekers. Hammer could case a broken neck. [I'd like to think the first thing someone thinks of when you say Hammer is a bash on the head though, so if it was Hammer, I'd think Araris would have gone for the head] Sandling + Chull Dung/Pancakes is an option. You know what, I'll just make a list - TKN - Shardblade + [Jam and Bread, White Clothing] JNV - Hammer + Hog Stick - Sandling + [Half eaten Pancakes, Chull Dung] Matrim - Mistwraith + [Crem, Rotspren] Archer - Parshendi (old slave, Araris could be hinting towards Parshmen -> Parshendi) + Claw Marks (partial & wilderness) I think Archer's case is the most likely currently.

Obviously I'm evil as there's a huge red flag in my evidence list. xD

Sure I'm in. Let's go by one of my old characters, Aanalan.

But Whitespine or like Chasmfiends are not found in the Wilderness. Well, I wouldn't term Shattered Plains as Wilderness.

Animal attacks could be termed as Accidents tbf.

Naked and Twisted, huh. Hut/Shack could be a Parshendi settlement. IIRC there's some Parshendi war ritual. Naked and Twisted fits the bill. Could also be a kill via Whitespine in a Parshendi settlement.

Hmmm, if Araris selected the location pile deliberately, it means the crime is not specific to any kind of rooms in the house (Location #1 pile). Yes you'd imagine hut/shack to not have many rooms but still it feels like hut/shack is not the accurate location of the crime. I was thinking of a cave... perhaps that's closer to Wilderness but not sure. Cave could fit with Naked + Ritual.

This feels like some weird kind of Dumb Charades, with Araris acting it out and we're all trying to guess it. Hmmm, acid would come more under 'Severe Injury' no? Why not? All other choices seem to cover any other possibility. Elegant and Shabby are opposites. Neat and Untidy are opposites. I can't think of any other options. If it's something like Regular Clothes, it'd be better covered under Neat. Will agree though clothing damage/only topless is possible.

Sounds a bit cult-y I guess. I want to ask if naked as in naked-on-the-day-of-birth or only from waist-up, because if it is waist-up then naked + hut/shack could be mean a treatment/medical procedure gone wrong accidentally. And that would lead to Bookwyrm (Disease). Other way would be an accidental death during the conversion of someone to a Dakhor Monk, but why would the conversion take place in a hut rather than a monastery?

Give me some time to figure out if I can do it or not. In the meantime, I'd like to nominate Mat and Fifth. very late edit: realised I should have probably tagged @Fifth Scholar

J. Jonah Jameson anyone? :P.
