A vote is a lot less of a commitment, I can change it, and it might not even result in them being lynched. I can’t take back a kill. Very permanent. Much harder of a decision.

And as I said before, I was planning on doing something, I just missed turnover. 

Also, if I vote for someone, they get lynched, and then they were village, It’s only partly my fault. If I kill someone and they’re village, that’s definitely my fault, and is definitely going to make me look suspicious. I want to be as certain as possible before killing, and one way of getting more information is by voting. 

That makes sense.

Ok well, I think I’m going to go with my gut and vote for TJ Shade again. Their point about them being a Feruchemist makes a lot of sense, but it’s nothing that a clever Elim couldn’t pull off. 

If you can so easily decide on a person to vote for, then why did you say that you "couldn't decide on a target" for your Mistborn kill? This is a bit suspicious and inconsistent, so I want an explanation.

Man, I was certain she was at least a Hem, if not HI.

It seems like the elims might have thought so too.

I said "relatively early" since none of the elims have been killed yet and there are still living hemalurgists.

I guess I'll vote for Ashbringer, at least for now, since I don't want to die relatively early into my first game. (sorry to Ashbringer if you're a villager)

@Flyingbooks42 had literally bandwagoned on the votes in the first 2 cycles of the game with one sentence votes, and then came with a long post after that. That reeks of a teammate asking them to do something other than just "agreeing" with reads.

Voting for Flyingbooks42 till I get answers to these questions. 

That's just me being me. I'm usually pretty quiet in conversations (especially with people who I don't know very well) until I have something to say, when I talk a lot all at once. I know that this is my first game here so you can't compare how I act when I'm an elim vs. when I'm a villager, so you'll just have to trust that this is just my normal speech pattern. It's a result of me being shy & awkward & nervous but occasionally having an idea for lots of things to say & getting over my feelings of awkwardness.

FlyingBooks, on the other hand, hasn't moved much from bandwagoning, and while he's been inactive over the weekend he's visited today. So seeing as Condensation's out I'll come back to him. @Flyingbooks42, do you have any suspicions to share? Now that the lynch is spread fairly evenly, which do you think is the more Elim-like of me or Danex, or should we vote someone else?

By the way, I'm gender-neutral and I prefer they/them pronouns. I don't really have any suspicions to share because I had some tests and a big essay that I needed to work on for school this weekend, so I haven't been reading the thread very thoroughly. 

I have a big essay due tomorrow, so I don't really have time to participate.

What do you mean by Kinetic Investiture? Is that just Investiture that is used specifically to make things move?

There are actually 7 votes on Turtle and 6 on Reading, so I think that a Feruchemist must have switched somebody's vote from Turtle to Reading.

Now that Experience has gathered up an analysis of all of the day one posts, taking votes on and off of Mist seems weird and a pretty suspicious.

Turtle was my N1 Hemalurgist contact. She is either a Hemalurgist or an Elim (yeah, Elim!Hemalurgist would would too) because what she told me checks out with the other people's info.

I PMd her N1 based off of these posts:

There were more, but this felt entirely like playing it up a bit too much. They also give me village vibes.

Turtle is kind of scaring me though:

She claimed immediately, thought I was a Hemalurgist too, and then told me that she wouldn't share doc specifics because I wasn't trustworthy. These are all incredible contradictory, because:

 - If I was an Elim I would have access to doc specifics through the Elim!Hemalurgist
 - If I was a Hemalurgist I would have access to doc specifics through...well, being on the doc
 - If you don't trust me enough to give me info, why claim to me?

What I assumed through this was that Turtle might be an Elim:

 - Doesn't give me doc specifics because they don't want me to find out who the other Hemalurgists are for some reason
 - Claims to me because it can be used as protection, and doesn't have to worry about it.

Things happened yesterday in thread that were less than Ideal, so the situation was definitely not as controlled as I could have tried to make it. 

Still I am Hesitant to vote on Turtle. Connie is looking a lot more suspicious to me right now. of course, not much time...

Welp. Here we go. I've already claimed to multiple people, but I will say that I am a Loyal Regular Hemalurgist (H1, though it doesn't matter to people who understand), and so killing me is probably a bad idea. I suppose if I'm lynched you guys will know that and if not I will have a night to PM people and talk to people on the doc. Yes, I could just be a elim hemalurgist, but I actually think I know who the two of those are (We think one or two slim hemalurgists to the 6 of us in all). So there. I won'tbe here for about an hour in which time you guys can talk about wether or not I'm lying, so goodbye until an hour.  

Claiming as a Hemalurgist could indicate an eliminator trying to stay alive longer or a villager trying to stay alive a little bit longer (and maybe get protected at night), so it doesn't really help on its own. I admit that the post does lean a little bit village (I think) because Turtle doesn't just claim Hemalurgist, but also gives some description of their suspicions towards other people on the doc. However, seeing the description of the PM raises my suspicions of Turtle because of the contradictions that Illwei mentioned above (thinking that Illwei is a hemalurgist but not giving doc specifics, even though Illwei being a hemalurgist would mean that they had access to the doc.

As for why Books... er... almost for the reason you said.

Before N2, Books made two posts. One of which contained a vote, on Elandra, adding to the Elandra bandwagon without adding any reasoning besides "the arguments for Elandra being an Elim seem pretty good". I haven't seen low activity but voting from anyone but Silber in the late game before, but he's done that as both Elim and Villager. Books doing it here feels like piggybacking other peoples' arguments to get votes out and therefore focus a lynch.

... and now Books just did something very similar to vote on Turtle. 

Could just be a new-player thing, especially with relatively few votes cast. But it's enough for me to question it.

 

It's a new-player thing. I don't know how people acted in past games where they were elims vs. when they were villagers and I don't know how an eliminator would vote as opposed to a villager, but I can look at people's reasoning and see if it seems reasonable. Also, since as I mentioned, I don't really know how to analyze people's posts, the main way that I can help to find the eliminators is through voting. Even though there is a risk of killing a villager, voting on people who I am more suspicious of is better than not voting at all and having there be a risk that people who I think are less suspicious get voted out instead.

I guess I'll vote turtle too, because Experience's analysis seems good. I'm new to this though so my judgement of how good it is isn't worth much. Does anybody who's more experienced have any tips on how to analyze people's posts to try to figure out their alignment?

Well: Fly, Flying, Books, 42, Flyingbooks, Flyingbooks42. You could go by any and all of those.

You can call me Con, Connie, Convenience(don't ask), Zation, Densa... basically anything you can think of. It's kind of become a game, I think. Also, if you have recommendations for my title(currently Totally not in too many RPs), I love getting more!

Books seems good.

(edit: also, books are good)

Do either of you have a preferred nickname?

Not yet.

Just now, Condensation said:

Um... trying to explain.

Usually you follow each other, but you don't have to. You're just friends... on the Shard. 

Can anyone do this better than I can?

That makes sense.

Nice. Hey, would you like to be Shardbuddies? That goes for everyone, I guess.

Sure!

What are Shardbuddies?

I haven't had much time to read this because I have lots of homework and I don't know how to analyze people's speech patterns, voting patterns, or how people act when they're elims or villagers. The arguments for Elandera being an elim seem pretty good though, so I guess I'll vote Elandera.

When you think of Tien when finding the binormal vector to a vector-valued function (the binormal vector is found by crossing the tangent (T) and normal (N) vectors. TxN ... TN ... Tien)

I'm new to Sanderson Elimination, so I'm probably mostly going to see how things work, at least at first. Also, what is a poke vote?

Hello! Which character in the cosmere do you think will be the  first one to discover instant noodles

The first person to discover instant noodles would probably be some random Scadrian cook, but the first person to eat instant noodles would definitely be Lift. Hoid would be just about the take his first bite of instant noodles when Lift just slides on past and takes it.

The "pure notes" quote probably refers to being able to attune to the Rhythms, so it doesn't automatically mean that the Singers have perfect pitch. However, I think it is likely because they're able to copy the Rhythms precisely and because it seems to fit thematically.

Hello. I'm new here. I've read every published cosmere book, White Sand (the prose version), The Rithmatist, and both Skyward books, and I'm excited for Rhythm of War. I've recently been obsessing over the Cosmere and reading random WOBs. 

I also want to try it out once it's ready to be playtested.

I'd like to join. It's late at night, so I'll think of a name and character tomorrow or the day after.

I'd also like to join.
