Okay so I was waiting to see who pushes me because yes, you could argue the Kas kill could happen irrespective but especially with the added benefit of framing me. One of them was one of my village reads from last cycle and the other is Raven. I'll come back to this later, so now - replies to Kas, cause dead people deserve answers too. Yeah, at the time I was considering the scenario where it was a two person team with you and Stick. Stick was in trouble and you had no other teammate and no other player you could pivot to, to save her. I think, in my head, I'm definitely way more easily pushable than you or Stick. Mrghh, makes no read about me, makes no read about Stick either. I don't like this vote and the reasoning "path of least resistance" because the path of least resistance is usually villager. Also, there was equally no resistance on my elimination. In fact, Kas did show more resistance for Stick elimination than me. It feels like an elim trying to contribute/talk about the elimination without really giving reads/good reasoning. Gonna set it aside right now because tldr looks like 'Polly sus because she did not vote on me', which is hilarious. But ugh devil's advocating, an elim usually does not want to be seen on a villager train and in a v/v train ties are usually good for the elims. Ugh, sorry that C1 has really battered my confidence. BUT I shall try. Mrrgh, the more I see the post the more I think it is theatrics >> Sure, getting pocketed sucks. But I figure an appropriate response to that would be more caution in PMing. An immediate vote feels like an overreaction. Again, there is a contradiction with how quickly you are willing to trust STINK after that despite being so worried about pocketing. It feels like an overcorrection. I would expect more caution in this case. @STINK, would love your input here. How did Raven go from "Ahhh go away demon" to "STINK clear" in the PMs? @The Unknown Flame, explain :P. If you believe I am E to the point most of your posts this cycle have mentioned it, then why is this in your post at all? I feel it's more directed to V!me since E!me is kind of known not to have the ML guilt problem, and it was a whole thing. Like this whole thing makes no sense except from a V!me world, with the E as a random afterthought and IDK a post that has "Kas and Stick are Elims" has any business also suggesting this - it's like your actions are showing you don't really buy your own read? Just a reminder that I was typing up the post you quoted thinking it was the last minute of the cycle and I did not have any time. So, it is incomplete. With it I wanted to say you and Stick are my top 2 suspicion (because as I mentioned before, I thought of the 2-elim team where you HAVE to push me to save her), but I also wanted to look after my bro because I know he struggles with guilt even though he's been getting better IN CASE I WAS WRONG ABOUT HIM. Because it was C1 after all. my e!Kas statement would have concluded like "e!Kas also dont feel guilty because thats your wincon after all lmao". Now comes my biggest problem with you, Raven. We spoke about how dangerous it is for an elim to push Kas early (or well at any stage in the game) and you agreed with me. Do you really think I'd make that statement so recently and and then immediately in the next game push Kas C1 as an elim? Ngl guys, it's been a long time since I've felt guilty about an ML as I do about this one. That was a horrific C1 from me. It condemned not 1, not 2 but 3 decent villagers to die. Stick, by pushing her. Kas by my argument with him and him sussing me so his death could be an attempt to frame me, and myself by putting myself in a position where I could be framed and MLed. Sorry @Stick. But, like I said, I SHALL try my best. Village - Hoid Slayer, ruler of mists, TUF, Wiz maybe I need more time to figure out Polly. @TwinStorm and @BridgeBoi , come chime in. edit: I have no idea what is happening to my post ;-; edit 2: uhhh should be fixed smh, if you saw that no you didnt :P.

Bruhhhhhh I'm crying ._.

lmaoooooo :P. Legacy read if I die: PLEASE DO LOOK AT STICK AND KAS. ALSO POSSIBLE THAT ELIM TEAM COULD BE JUST A TWO- PERSON TEAM. @Kasimir v!Kas DO NOT FEEL GUILTY. uhh e!Kas also dont feel guilty edit if merged: uhhhhhh is the cycle not over >> edit2: *cries in embarrassment* recently finished a game on mu where everything's on ET so I just... thought... this is was on ET too >> SMH .-.

Yeah, I think I did expect you to push a cycle later at least. Definitely did not expect it C1. Fair about the part regarding new players. Regarding my activity in mash, bro I had to make 10 posts in 12 hours, if not I would get inactivity killed ;-; and despite that I just barely hit above the minimum req post count. I donno what the point of this is because you should be asleep and I should probably go to sleep after this post but -I meant like I'd probably stamp a v!read on you and then kill you, that's what I meant by least interactions. Not fully ignoring you but not looking to threadbrawl with you at all by pushing you. there is no paranoia lol, i did not mention it at all. I genuinely do not trust kas atp. if you're actually village, then I'm seriously out of practice ffs... why not? Why would you show me something if I can't have itttt? xD Sidenote: ready to bribe any potential GM to make this happen :P. Retaliation voting is not something I would associate with Stick, whether v or e, so this is weird. I would like to think that v!Stick works with me here in regards to the possibility of e!Kas than just falsely state my suspicions as paranoia.

Aftermath - Mother Sierin's plan was working. It seems such a risky move when she hatched it, but you do not get to climb the ladder without rolling a few heads. She walked into the trapdoor set in the tavern nearby and there she was, her prized possession, the last of the Black Ajah - Altea of the White. There was a reason no one could find the last Black Ajah despite the best efforts the new Amyrlin. Sierin had moved quicker, faster than anyone expected her to be, and had correctly figured out the secret of Altea. But instead of handing her over to the Amyrlin, she went about her plan. Altea was not too smart to evade capture forever. Eventually, she'd be caught and the influence of the Amyrlin would grow. What if... I captured Altea and kept her in a place where no one could find them, and I continued killing the Aes Sedai here in the Tower? It was such a brilliant move! She'd never be suspected as she had already passed her test with the Oath Rod as she hadn't really sworn to the Dark. She was just ambitious to the point of evil, and not every evil person needs the Dark One's promises. "Why? Why are you doing this? What has He promised you?", wheezed Altea. "Huh, you wouldn't understand." Just a few more nights, a few more deaths of her Sisters and the Hall would grow restless. They already though they had placed a figurehead at the top and the petty squabbles of the Sitters turned a lot serious now. There were rumours about Stilling the Amyrlin already, with the Sitters discussing the next person to be Raised. Sierin would then be in the best position to swoop in, the Sisters already mentioning support to her in whispers. It was to her greatest surprise, then, that the trapdoor was broken in and she found herself face-to-face with the Amyrlin and her strongest and most vocal supporters. Getting over her shock is a matter of moments, she put on her sweetest face, "Mother! Look who I found for you!" "Indeed, look what we have here. It seems like you've had her for days, Sierin. You weren't keeping her from me, were you?" "No Mother! I couldn't be sure if there was another one of them at the Tower, who could get to her. Naturally, I thought of questioning her away from the Tower." "Naturally." "And I was right! The killings continued well after I captured Altea." "The killings continued because you killed them, Sierin." This time she couldn't hide the surprise off her face. The Amyrlin had spoken a direct statement, she truly believed in it. She knew... "Mother?" Sierin never even realised the Shield was in place as she tried to access her Source. "Mother, no! Please! Let me explain." Just like that, Sierin was cut off from her source as the Amyrlin had already moved on towards Altea. *** Everyone was searching for Jane Steel as they assumed poor Jane was another one of the Black Ajah's victims. Meanwhile, John had enough of cosplaying as Aes Sedai. Those ladies were going insane and killing each other. And they say male channelers are the ones going crazy??? How were they involving him in those discussion? Never again, never again... He had escaped the tower before they even noticed he was gone. Maybe he'd sneak aboard the ships of the Sea Folk next... *** Illwei was exiled! She was from the Black Ajah! Vote Count: Congratulations to the Hall of the Tower for winning the game by successfully eliminated the Black Ajah! Also, a big thank you to the pinch-hitters - @Aeternum and @Illwei. Without them, we'd have a lot more inactivity deaths and the game would have been a lot less fun. Massive shout-out to Illwei for taking the game right down to the wire and making it very close in the end. Another thanks would be to all the players who have joined SE and trusted me to be your entry to it, namely - @BridgeBoi(another shoutout for taking on the responsibility of being a Sitter and then the Amyrlin Seat and bringing the victory home to the village), @Terrisman, @Teldris Anuar and @ThatOneWorldhopper. I hope you all continue to play with us, and please do not think that you had a bad game or any of the sort. We only learn by play more :). All in all, I hope everyone had fun! I know we had a couple of moments of GMClusterchull, but I will probably talk about it later in my GM Thoughts. For now, thank you all for indulging. :') Docs: GM Spreadsheet Spec Doc Black Ajah Doc Green Ajah Blue Ajah Grey Ajah White Ajah Yellow Ajah Brown Ajah (hehe :P) Player List:

Time!

pftttt, e!me would not have the courage to push you in-thread at all, you'd just eat the kill with probably the least interactions ever :P. I actually disagree with hoid slayer's reasoning for your vote, your plan seems perfectly fine to me, in the sense that it could equally come from a villager or elim, not just elim-exclusive pov. it's just that i have no one else I suspect other than you. uhhh other than kas smh. speaking of, talk to me about kas? iirc speaking with you helped us find e!Kas in that one game i forget which but i think i endgamed with Araris, Aman, someone else. bip was there too i think.

Yeah sorry, had a long 12+ hour shift and needed to unwind after work. Still need to watch the new WoT episode smh. I actually disagree with your wrt TUF opening, I village-read his opening...very easily (like there's a particular difference in v-reading strongly versus v-reading easily, idk how to explain). Particularly, "I'm not sure how much that would amount but possibly two, idk" and the next post "successfully talking myself out" part. Seems quite natural thoughts flowing, not manufactured. Which is why also disliked Stick's vote on TUF. "Giving away as many breaths as possible" plan, even though unvillagery, is something would an elim would very rarely say. Latching onto it seems poor to me. Stick does in fact walk it back later, indeed giving TUF village read for it, but gut says it looks like an elim realised the vote was done with poor reasoning rather than a villager reassessing. Ngl bro, not feeling good about you either My village strength is in mid-game and my opening is quite slow and quiet almost always. I know people say 'you don't know your own meta', but like, I'm pretty sure there a noticeable difference in opening activity with my elim and village games (in that I think my opening activity is higher when I'm elim when compared to village). I think I discussed this is with you prior. And pretty sure you know the whole "slack off in the beginning, kill it mid-game, and break your head endgame" part of my game. So this minor push on me feels ehhh, you know how obvillage I can be later in the game. Talk to me about Stick, I wanna know if you're e/e with her :P. Throwaway read, but very very slightly worried about e/e theatrics wrt Raven/STINK. Impressive if it is :P.

;-; I'm village bhai, but are you village. Are we villaging together. Did Ash indeed do the funniest thing ever? :P. Kasimir Yeah, had a few ideas to coordinate Breath-giving - I typed this up many hours ago at work and got super busy but basically sorta similar to what Stick suggested, also what's the OOA on Breathe-giving and the elimination? If the outgoings player can always give breathe then maybe 2 players over that should be good cover. Also, we need to look at thread mechanics as well, players likely to be killed off early (ahem Kas) should use their Breathe before players who are likely to make it to later stages of the game. Brb

Day 7 - The Last Battle Approaches Taimon walked the halls with newly found confidence. They were close, quite close - they felt it. Their loyal sisters had almost fully eradicated the Black Ajah. Just a little more patience and they'd find them all. For now though, it seems like the Last Battle approaches... *** Terrisman has been killed! He was loyal to the Hall of the Tower!

Time's up!

Day 6 - Queen's Lover Rasmuhtin Poisoned and Shot Till Dead Sierin had watched with seething jealousy as her Blue Sister Taimon had gotten elected as the new Amyrlin Seat. She thought she had missed her chance but with the deaths continuing to pile up and the pressure building on the new Amylin to act, she felt she could yet salvage the situation. Perhaps she could use these deaths to her advantage... Rasmuht swaggered into the dining hall of the palace and saw the counsellors and advisors to the Queen, including her ministers sitting around the table, waiting for him to show up. The queen was not there of course, he had just left her in her chambers. They had invited him to discuss a matter of grave importance. With the rumblings of an Aes Sedai split in the White Tower, Rasmuht assumed it was important to discuss how it would affect the queendom. He didn't know why they bothered, that was all up to the queen of course! Nonetheless, he grabbed a goblet of wine and chugged a mouthful as he took his seat. Everyone at the table turned to look at him just as he finished it all. "What? That was mighty good wine! I am feeling totally fine!" They did not even wait for the poison to take hold completely, they couldn't take the chance. As Rasmuht watched, the men around him grabbed their bows and shot him until he was dead. *** STINK has been killed! He was loyal to the Hall of the Tower!

One hour to go!

Just an info to everyone, I've spoken with Steel and they said they'd be posting again soon. As such I'll be giving them a grace day cycle, they won't be removed at the end of the Night if they do not post.

Night 5 - Ash Rests on the Ground Ash finally got what we was asking for since a long time. He thought he would get killed as he believed himself to be too trusted, but as the day went on, it became clear to him that they believed he was a Darkfriend. No matter, at the hands of Black Ajah in the night, or in the day by the public, he would find peace in his death. *** Ashbringer was exiled! He was loyal to the Hall of the Tower!

Time!

~24 hours left in the cycle! Uhhh, finish all the discussion during this time and not leave it to the last minute like the last cycle :P.

Yeah, but typically games run for about... let's say a bit longer than 3 weeks, no? And I would start getting busy around the last week of May itself :P.

Right, here's my sitch. I can only (and only) play Qualifier 1, as I will be fully busy for June, July and first 2 to 3 weeks of August. I've spoken to Ara and they've said if I do qualify for semis it might be possible for me to make the last semis. BUT, obviously I'd rather defer the position to someone who are much more free than me to play. Also, because the back-ups game is in July, I cannot make it at all. I'd rather 2 someone's get to play in champs than foregoing our slot in the back-ups game. I came here to say it'd be a yes from me ONLY if no one else was going but now we've got Ash, so my full support behind Ash let's goooooo! Also, pretty sure Aet and/or other nominees would be a good competition to Ash in the polls :D. I've been wanting to play in Champs for a while, and thank you for you nominations but I'd sadly have to decline. But hey, maybe it's lucky number Season 13 for me, yeah?

2 cycles, sorry forgot to mention. They'll be confirmed at the end of N6.

Amyrlin Seat's vote counts as double only after the election is complete and the Amylin is confirmed to be village.

Day 5 - She Comes! Taimon never wanted to be the Amyrlin Seat. They never wanted to be a Sitter in the first place, but they took up the position at the insistence of their Sisters. They have just advanced from Accepted to full Aes Sedai when she was requested to step. They knew the others wanted a figurehead, someone they could control. They'd let the other believe so, until they were elected. Then, once in power, the others could do nothing to stop them. They would not sit silently while others tried to move them like puppets. They'd make White Tower a better place, in their own vision. *** Sart has been killed! They were from the Hall of the Tower! BridgeBoi has been elected as the Amyrlin Seat!
