Yup. TPBM likes playing board games

This thread made me lose the game.

T?

The allergy was caused by a near-fatal exposure to puns in his childhood, which made his immune system treat all cheese and cheesiness as an invader.

And now, it is my duty to mess up that streak.

Oh wow.

Ashbringer, then @Ashbringer, do you have anything to say for yourself?

Anti-threads. If you can form a thread out of antimatter, then upon hitting this thread both of them will turn into energy, causing an explosion at every computer where the thread is open.

There was evidence that there's a second RBer (Tani got RBed one night), so this is confirmation that one of the RBers is an elim. Armor only works the night after it's bought, so you'd have needed to plan ahead.

I wasn't forced to vote for her. Araris asked Randby whether she would be willing to vote on Whysper since she was suspicious of basically everyone at the moment. I had grown more suspicious of Whysper after our interactions that cycle, so I offered to switch off of Araris if enough other people were voting on her that it wouldn't be a death sentence. I personally think that 1 is the least possible, for obvious reasons. 4 is the next least likely to me because that would require Ash to have been willing to do some pretty extreme bussing and I'm not really reading Forge as suspicious. It's close, but I feel like 3 is a bit likelier than 2, with Striker as more likely to be elim than Quinn. In team 2, I feel like Connie is a bit more likely than TJ. People who I could vote for this cycle: Connie, Ash, Quinn, Araris, FMN, Striker, TJ I'm taking Ash out of the elim pool because he provided a deciding vote on Whysper twice (even though one time was a bit too late) I'm putting FMN as low-priority (not completely out of my exe pool, but I'd only look at them again if the other possibilities have been exhausted) That leaves 5 people. I am still suspicious of Araris, but now I'm starting to tinfoil that someone might be trying to frame him, so I'm not as confident in my suspicions of him anymore, so he's going a bit down on my list. That leaves just Striker, Quinn, TJ, and Connie at the top of the suspicion list at the moment, and of those 4 I think that Striker strikes me as the most likely elim. Striker

I love math! It's my favorite subject and I'm planning to major in it.

We're at Xlo now. If we exe or the elims kill Elhokar, then they'll reach parity after tonight. Even if this doesn't happen and we misexe somebody, the elims will have control over the exe and will be able to kill until they get to Elhokar with practically no chance of being stopped.

If Tani is telling the truth & Quinn is really a roleblocker, then I'd expect one of the 2 RBers to be an elim. There are only a few few non-highprinces, so I think it's unlikely that there'd be any non-HP role (other than vanilla) shared by 2 villagers.

I have finally finished my essay that I procrastinated on! (not that that narrows it down much ) And now I am joining the favor chain.

I haven't had the time to read through past cycles and make an actual reads list, so I'll just vote based on my gut and the arguments against people that have been made today. I'm suspicious of Elandera, though it's mostly the way that she called Araris a nearly confirmed villager and called out people for shading him when they were simply putting out the reasons for their suspicions of him and the majority consensus seemed to be that he was pretty suspicious. This doesn't necessarily reflect on Araris' alignment because she could do this either as an elim protecting her fellow elim or as a way to try to be trusted when her early read turns out to be correct, but I think that e/e Elandera/Araris is more likely than e/v.

Yes, and I still can't stop even though I have an essay due tomorrow that I've procrastinated on for several days. Which reminds me, I should definitely go work on it right now.

Me too. I can never work at a steady pace - I'm always either procrastinating or working at maximum effort levels.

I'm glad that I rarely need to do essays in exams. I like being able to procrastinate have the time to heavily revise & edit my essays.

It's strange that the birds that have suddenly gathered around you don't hate you, but you don't know why. You would investigate it, but It must be unimportant The Nameless One, the one who is without stories, begins to reach out. Their location is unimportant, so they are everywhere. They touch a tendril of ṕ̸̛̰͖͎̩͔͎̖̭̳͕̜̟̲̘̻̳̰̟̤̙̔̄̀́̈̈̃̌̇̇̃̌̕͜͠o̸̧̡̢̼̥͎͈̳͍̝͇͓̥̝͔̩̔̆͋͌͆͒̍̀̆͌̕͝ͅw̶̡̧̢̻̣̻͍̬͇̪͍̣̹̟̮̫̙̆̋̌́̋̈́̔͗̓̽͌̿̿͆̈̈͌̿̓̋̽̈̈́̄͜͜͠ͅȩ̴̢̠̲͇̞̬̓̓̋͋͊̆̅͊̓̂͊͌̆̀͘͝͝ͅr̸̡̡̯̲̪͍̗̠̝̼̝̟̖͍̙̯̪̒̄̇̊͑̽̌͆̎̔͑̓̃͗̿̏͗͑̋͊͑̒̊͜͠ͅ to the story, trying to manipulate it. If they had existed, they would have been making sure that you knew the truth: that they do not exist and never have. But they do not, so all is as it always was. As a scholar of plots, you recognize the feeling of a murdered story. But not the feeling of one whose course has been silently changed to keep one nonexistent person hidden from the all-consuming plot. The Nameless One might have been happy at this fact, but that is unimportant, because they do not exist. You decide to keep the birds with you. As creatures related to a murdered story in some way, they might come in useful in your hunt for the god-killers. With your new main character powers, (well, technically you were always the main character. You've simply progressed from your backstory to the actual story) you get to Crete after only a short timeskip. After that, you talk to the lead archaeologist of the project. "Gia Sou," you say. Even though you know that the archaeologist is a loyal member of your society, it never hurts to make sure. "Gia Sou atath kol," he replies. The pronunciation is a little bit off. No, what are you thinking? It is as it has always been. And any differences would be unimportant anyways. Irrelevant. Only momentarily flustered, you bring your mind back to the conversation. "I need to have special access to the new Knossos ruins. According to my research, they should have some information vital to tracking down the story-killers." The Unnamed One connects the dots at that moment. Or rather, they would, if they and the dots to be connected had even ever existed, which they will soon have always ceased to. Outside of the Story, they were free from its limitations. No doubt others would have wanted this for themselves if it was possible to have anything outside the story, which it very clearly wasn't. After all, the Nameless One does not exist. The story-killers, whoever they were, were trying to destroy the Story itself, but were starting by killing the lesser stories created by humans - the gods. The Nameless One, being nowhere in sight and thus in every place that is hidden from the Story, takes note of the glyphs and writing in the ruins. Once again (or more accurately never again) they call upon ṕ̸̛̰͖͎̩͔͎̖̭̳͕̜̟̲̘̻̳̰̟̤̙̔̄̀́̈̈̃̌̇̇̃̌̕͜͠o̸̧̡̢̼̥͎͈̳͍̝͇͓̥̝͔̩̔̆͋͌͆͒̍̀̆͌̕͝ͅw̶̡̧̢̻̣̻͍̬͇̪͍̣̹̟̮̫̙̆̋̌́̋̈́̔͗̓̽͌̿̿͆̈̈͌̿̓̋̽̈̈́̄͜͜͠ͅȩ̴̢̠̲͇̞̬̓̓̋͋͊̆̅͊̓̂͊͌̆̀͘͝͝ͅr̸̡̡̯̲̪͍̗̠̝̼̝̟̖͍̙̯̪̒̄̇̊͑̽̌͆̎̔͑̓̃͗̿̏͗͑̋͊͑̒̊͜͠ͅ that never existed and never will exist and a young archaeology intern has always dug a few dozen centimeters to the right of a subterranean structure. This would have given them a head start over the captain if anything had ever been changed from how it always had been. "What new Knossos ruins?" The lead archaologist asks you, "We haven't found any new ruins here in a long time, and funding is drying out. In fact, I was planning to call you soon to ask whether you wanted us to shift our focus to a more promising site." You would have dismissed what were clearly hallucinations of a new discovery brought about by long-delayed hopes as irrelevant and unimportant if not for the small flock of birds around you. You don't know what it is, but something about them reminds you of the way that stories feel when they die. Do you: Try to remember where the underground chambers should be. Reflect on your own memories to try to find gaps in them that might have been caused by dead stories. Do a bird dance. Use your main character powers to find the next step of the plot Make little crowns for the birds for being so helpful Put a bird on the lead archaeologist's head The Nameless One's choices would be here if they could have choices. ALL CHOICES ARE PART OF THE STORY. ALL CHOICES ARE PART OF THE STORY. NOTHING EXISTS BEYOND THE STORY. THERE IS NO WAR WITHIN THE STORY'S WALLS. Nevertheless, The Nameless One continues. To not exist. To seek the story-killers so that the authority and false choices of the Story might be stopped once and for all.

Araris is certainly not a confirmed villager, and suspicions based on voting patterns and stated opinion of Whysper are not baseless shading, not that I'm an unbiased observer in this. Calling Araris a "near-confirmed villager" is ringing suspicion bells in my head for Elandera though, regardless of whether Araris is an elim or a villager.

2500-3000 words. 10-15 essays. 167-300 words per essay. Well, I guess we have very different ideas about typical essay length and frequency. For reference, that's shorter than the weekly ungraded reading questions in my english class (which I inevitably procrastinate on every week because they're so exhausting). With such frequent essays (around 1 per week, by my estimations), it does make sense that your teacher wouldn't have time for much feedback, though it still sounds annoying.
