Anyone willing to do SCP style containment on Shards?

yes.

kas I think what's happening here is i thought which player bavadin is matters but apparently it matters less than i thought? like i assumed yeeting bavadin could help us? im gonna reread the rules when i have time.

also the air quality here is getting progressively worse and worse. if you're also in an area with 'severely unhealthy' air quality, remember not to do physical activity outside w/o a mask. it feels like im breathing in the smoke from a firepit but worse bc i cant get out of it.

1. this place is surrounded

I legitimately don't give a damn. LG94 demonstrated we genuinely do not care if players sign up for a game and refuse to play. No one will say anything about it and we accept and normalise this behaviour. In fact, we fall over ourselves to highlight every single thing the Elims did right in order to not have to say anything at all about bad player behaviour.

sorry i dont have much context is your playstyle this game like, a protest-esque thing? i agree w tun that it would be great to see more reads from you, but i understand if ur just kinda done w caring bc of the events of lg94

step 1- listen to ur heart. ur heart is already a vessel (a blood vessel to be specific) so it is an expert on all things vessel-related

step 2- offer an appropriate sacrifice to the gods of RNG

step 3- ???

step 4- profit

@Ashbringer I herebye sacrafice my ability to use the word 'and' for the rest of this game so that i may become vessel of [redacted coolest shard™]

Also did Turtle claim Ruin or am I crazy :P.

the feeling when you look through your own posts to figure out where you could have claimed

can someone give me a step by step guide to becoming a vessel for dummies? will pay in Cookies and Booze (the kitten named Booze)

edit: OH i see why you thought i was ruin

honestly if i knew i could blow up planets i would have tried

It's also, not true? Pretty sure ties = no deaths

i was assuming rng?

reads, but im basically (edit: mostly) only counting d1 bc ~conversion game~

tier 1: v

-kas, the v dgaf energy is strong w this one

-detess. is this my active player bias showing? probably.

tier 2: giving vibes that are not bad

-5th

-drake marshall (how dare have 2 drakes this game). party doc thread pms feel not elimy

tier 2.5:

-everyone not mentioned; there are 21 people here im not doing this

tier 3: giving vibes that are not god

-archer

Note that in an e!archer world, this here matters:

"Slight hesitation about voting Mat or Drake today, because they accrued some suspicion N0. I tried with Drake, anyway. Logic being they're bad conversion targets. " -Archer (struggling to use quotes today)

Also, unrelated note that i hope everyone in canada is doing well! we're getting some really terrible air quality because of the fires over there.

Day One has begun! There will be an execution this cycle.

this feels like a threat ngl

im working on a reads list, finally! conversion games are funky, and the way i do reads normally doesnt quite work here. the 'is archer bavadin' thoughts are not gone, but its d1 so i dont trust myself.

I forgot how crazy LG43 got with the concentration there, and how Ruin blowing up the planet was pretty much what forced everyone to migrate 

...What

i may need to read through lg43

am i allowed to blow up a planet without holding ruins power and whatever?

can i just blow up a planet on a whim?

also *technically* silverlight is a city, not a planet

edit:

"Alternatively, you may instead use your action during the Night Turn to target the planet you are on. That planet is destroyed." (lg43)

hwat

ngl this is sparking some "what if archer is bavadin" thoughts but that might just be my coffee-less (coffeeless?) brain.

I will go get some caffeine.

Is there anyone in this game who isn't a Researcher? All the evil team leaders also start with the role

I assumed that because of the team leaders only Frost and Bavadin specifically had the reasercher role, neither Khrissala nor Hoid do.

edit:

Every player except for Hoid and Khrissala starts out with this Role.

smh y'all the way to get converted is obviously by playing hard-to-get you can't just ask for it

you have to like, reverse-psychology them into converting you

all subtle-like

...is this your personal philosophy on converting? are you planning on using it this game?

hello fellow villagers >:)

I have my awoken

Honestly, I haven’t really done the math but I don’t think Shards being released is as good for the 17th Shard as this seems to imply. Intent conversion is very and should be avoided at all costs. That being said, I do think some of the more elim-leaning (or smaller-faction-leaning, I guess) Shards, like Mercy and Endowment, should be priorities, since as we get further into the game, the elims essentially get free Shards if they have enough people working together.

In other news, I’m not going to be very helpful the next ~4 days. I went on vacation, then got COVID, and when I got back to school I found that nothing had gotten done on this big group project that’s due on Friday. So now I’m scrambling to get everyone organized so we can get done on time >:(

Would you like to join the dark side?

And yeah, I'm not to sure about the whole conversion thing. Releasing a shard doesnt automatically equal us losing a reasercher, but it can lead to it. I'd like to note that the elims getting a free shard would mean:

-they have four people already

-they all collectively use their night actions on taking investiture

-they are all on silverlight

i think.

hm. them all being on sliverlight means something but im not sure what it means. poe, possibly?
