If Silber was an elim, I would hope that they would peer review everything before posting. If Silber didn't check in with their teammates before posting a tinfoil theory, then surely Silber's teammates would tell Silber to offer a better defense to salvage the best of a bad situation. This leads me to believe that Silber is a paranoid villager who is bad at making excuses.

If someone is suspected, they cannot do active harm and can quickly regain trust by being an active player. If someone is trusted, they can do a great deal of harm by misleading the village, and one is loath to vote on a trusted individual. Trust should be reserved for those who have proven themselves and suspicion should be spread widely. I understand your point, but I don't want to write someone off as safe and become blind to their faults. I personally would be willing to remove xino from the vote pool, as they seem far less suspicious than Silber or Pyro.

I have so few village reads because being an individual with intelligent, rational reads does not preclude one from being an elim. When I label someone as village, I want to be more than moderately certain. The people who I'm more inclined to trust are Frozen Mist and Eternum, simply because they have been putting forth meaningful analysis. I prefer Pyro over Fifth because I see no reason to lynch Fifth while Pyro has engaged in shifty behavior. Vapor has also been very suspicious, but I am willing to cut them some slack as they are new.

Of the two lynch targets [Fifth and Pyro] I suspect Pyro the most.

The following is my analysis of the lynch train on Fifth. As far as I can tell, Fifth is merely voting because voting is mandatory and Straw is his highest suspicion. Silber voted Fifth because of a tinfoil theory concerning a xino-Fifth team. Devotary voted Fifth because they think multiple votes on an individual would provoke a response. Straw voted on Fifth in retaliation and to prompt discussion. Vapor and Pyro mimicked Straw and voted Fifth. Considering that voting is mandatory, I understand how Fifth could be a questionable individual, but watch for votes without reasoning like Vapor and Pyro.

The following are my reads on everyone who has posted. However, as a subject of controversy, I find myself unable to maintain a truly impartial position in my analysis. Keep in mind that some of my reads are because people have defended or suspected me. xinoehp512 - None. Pointed out flaws in my plan, but that's NAI. Straw - Mild village. Has provoked discussion and analysis. Dislikes the random voting. (This read may be affected by Straw's village read of me. Do not trust it.) Frozen Mint - Mild elim. Jumped on me for my terrible plan, which admittedly is justified because of how ridiculous the premise was. The vote on me could be because of mandatory voting. (This read may be affected by Mint's vote on me. Do not trust it.) Matrim's Dice - None. Votes, retracts it, says that they will do analysis in the morning, notes my new player status. Striker - None. Promotes poke-voting. Shard of Reading - None. Dislikes the random voting. Refrains from voting. Mist - None. Dislikes the random voting. The_Truthwatcher - None. Dislikes the random voting. Votes random anyways. (This contradiction confuses me. Someone more experienced than me pick this apart). Fifth Scholar - Very slight elim. Defended me. Voted Straw, which I disagree with. (This read may be affected by Fifth's defense of me. Do not trust it.) Lord_Silberfarben - Very slight elim. Tinfoils a theory about Fifth and xino that I disagree with, though I think an elim would be a little more careful given that they have access to a jury of their peers to review their actions. Could be a paranoid villager or an elim acting without peer review. TJ Shade - None. Does not mind poke-voting, just doesn't want to be involved. Places a vote on xino for minimal reasoning, probably because of mandatory voting. Devotary of Spontaneity - None. Notes that people can move their votes, and as such become irrelevant. Eternum - None. Supports poke-voting. Notes that elims poke-voting elims is an easy distance tactic. MysticLotus - None. Places a random vote. @MysticLotus, your vote needs to be put in red. On the computer, there is a drop-down menu on the right of the format bar. On mobile, you type [*color=red]vote[/color] without the asterisk. Vapor - None. Places a vote on Fifth. @Vapor, you also need to put your vote in red. I will retract my vote from TJ Shade and hold on to it for the moment.

What did you think about the epilogue? Also, while I admire your reading speed, I read faster than you by a factor of 2.

I believe I have misrepresented my opinions with an unfortunate assumption that my leaps of logic were comprehensible. The following is my attempt to rectify that. 1. My plan was founded on the premise that everyone would be willing to oblige. As this is not the case, the plan is fundamentally flawed. However, I will be leaving my vote where it is as I am a forgetful person and I do not wish to burn through the grace cycles of no-voting without extenuating circumstances. 2. My plan was never intended to apply to all of C1. It was intended as a placeholder until a lynch target was found. 3. The strictly lynching an inactive was in the event of a cycle without a lynch target. EDIT: As The_Truthwatcher has replied, I will vote on someone who has not replied. TJ Shade, you have been selected by the algorithm. @TJ Shade

I was trying to say that we should avoid placing votes on people with votes until a lynch discussion begins as that would allow elims to hide in the herd or claim innocence by saying that they didn't vote on the villager.

Voting is mandatory, so I am going to roll a random number and vote The_Truthwatcher. All active players should vote on someone with no votes on them as on C1 we don't have suspicions. If a player is inactive, they will eventually be obliterated by the no-vote filter, so no need to worry about them. I would not be opposed to strictly lynching those who do not vote as they would die soon anyway in lieu of leaving the lynch to random chance. Do not forget to vote.

Oh nothing, the Anarchist thought. I just took a quick detour on my way to the continent.

The Anarchist obliged reluctantly, still wanting to just run off and bring down an empire.

The Anarchist huffed and put on a fancy cloak. "We're on a schedule here!"

The Anarchist charged through the shadows, stopping at a random spot and pointing at the wall. "Do you see it? It's hard to spot, but I believe in you!"

The Anarchist walked back into the shadows, disappearing in a blink of an eye. "Come on, then! To the secret passageway!"

The Anarchist took out a phone and looked at the screen. "It's on the continent, so we either take the secret passageway before it disappears, teleport to my safehouse, or get a boat."

"Yes," the Anarchist said. "That is why you wouldn't believe it."

The Anarchist gestured at the shadows. "You wouldn't believe the secret passageways in this place! I could get to the Kantriet Empire through the earth from in here."

The Anarchist grinned. "Wow, stereotyping much? Not all empires are terrible dictatorships, you know."

"I take down empires, institutions, and governments," the Anarchist said. "What do you think? That's not a rhetorical question, I'm genuinely interested in your answer."

When a person is born, that location in orbit is "marked" with residual creation energy. When the planet/moon/celestial body returns to that location in orbit, the birthday person can make a wish, and it will come true, with limitations. As the planet is only in that location for a small time, the wish cannot involve more wishes, as the only way to get wishes is to be in that specific point. Only one wish can be granted by the creation energy due to the small quantity, and the wish will deteriorate in strength as time passes. The wisher cannot pass on the wish as the creation energy is keyed to the individual. People who do not live on their native orbiting celestial body cannot take advantage of this effect. As such, astronauts and immigrants to other planets lose their birthday wishes. Explosives

"I'm the Anarchist," the Anarchist said. "Would you like to bring down an empire?"

The Anarchist turned to the person who had a lovely sword and said, "No, I don't have any gears. I could get some, but that would require a little more time than I have."

The Anarchist walked out of the shadows dramatically, holding a knife, several explosives, and a large gun. "Would anyone like to bring down an empire?"

True Story I almost got caught in a tornado five minutes ago. We were on a walk and the clouds darkened abruptly. I warned them, but they didn't believe me until the tornado sirens went off. Everyone is fine, but I don't think I'll be going on a walk any time soon.
