Yet another double post, but of my roast I must boast, @DramaQueen is surely toast!

Nay, tis thou who shall remain on the ground!

'Tis I you shall face in glorious battle! Prepare your words, for this duel of wits shall leave one of us deceased! [I just need a few more lines. Give me an hour or so.]

@Lotus, since you targeted Illwei, your vote was randomly strewn about the players. However, since you voted on Pyro, this could not have caused Pyro's increased vote count. As there is not an unaccounted vote addition [Kas and unknown person made extra votes], Lotus's vote must have been thrown back on Pyro and someone else must have increased Pyro's vote. Considering that Pyro had vote manip powers as well, there could be a great quantity of unaccounted for vote manips cancelling each other out like virtual particles.

Winds blow, Stormfather knows, like needles, like knowledge, Stormfather blows wind

Concerning the vote manip on Lotus and Pyro: It is certainly possible that Pyro or someone else with the same power as Pyro used their power on someone and got their vote randomly redirected to someone. Or one of Matrim, Vapor, or Illwei [probably not Illwei since we already know their disease, but better to list all possible cases] has the power of secretly voting for someone else [invalidating their old vote and putting them on the new person. Or one of Matrim, Vapor, or Illwei [again, probably not Illwei] has an ability that duplicates someone's vote at the cost of their own vote. Or there genuinely was two separate vote manips, one to remove from Lotus and one to add to Pyro. @Lotus, did you engage in vote manipulation to save yourself? Miscellaneous tangent concerning PMs as a vector of transmission: Pyro was wrong, or at least their evidence was wrong. Maybe they was actually right but for the wrong reasons. Pyro asked me if I had a disease, to which I replied, "I can neither confirm nor deny." They then told me that they thought they caught a disease from me and made that post in thread. However, Pyro's disease is not a disease that I have [the status of my health is confidential, the existence of a disease will not be confirmed]. Basically, I may or may not have a disease, but Pyro thought they caught their disease from me. I don't have their disease.

Kaladin, Shallan, Szeth, and Teft are all one oath away. I don't think Teft will get it since he just swore the Third and I feel like he will be working to overcome it. Kaladin will probably get it since he failed in Oathbringer and working through his issues will probably be one oath away. Shallan is also working on being better, so probably. I don't think any of the Radiants that aren't on the Third Oath will get it because getting 2 Oaths in one book seems too rapid. Some of the relatively minor Radiants [like the ones from other nations] might get plate or already have it, but I don't think their Oaths will get much screen time.

You have been freed from the weight of your flesh.

Illwei edited a correction into the post where they voted for Araris. [Context: Araris asked if the name of the opposing faction was in Illwei's PM because win-cons are usually included, Illwei didn't see it, but then they did.]

Fish pot

Not

Kettlecorn.

I used a pot.

Temporal totality.

Fine then. Tea's in the kettle if you change your mind.

Is that a no?

Would you like a cuppa?

You sit in the endless void and sip at your tea. It tastes of nothing.

Always but not now, for time is an illusion, tea time doubly so.

Interesting. @Matrim's Dice, there are several possibilities. 1: You lied about having a disease for some reason [perhaps you did not want to PM and wanted an excuse] and now are claiming to target people who have claimed no actions. [In this scenario you are likely an elim.] 2: You genuinely have this disease and targeted Ash. [In this scenario you could be either a villager or elim.] Unfortunately, as you stated, we the general populace cannot differentiate between these two scenarios. I would like to think better of you for your information, but I cannot. However, I do not find you overtly suspicious.

I offer a pen that never writes what you want it to. I will take nothing less than a proper cravat.

Dr. Gears watched as the statue began to move its fingers. It seemed that Progression was indeed successful, as expected. Given that Stormlight healed it, by logical extension, Progression would heal it as well. Fascinating. Possible applications: Hibernation, infiltration, decoration @Rushu42 @Invocation
