    ? I started the Akimiko train. Mistfallen had no votes when I first voted there
  2. The Unknown Character
    This seems to be skipping over the train on TOW entirely, which was at least a third of my reasoning for voting Akimiko. It seems weird that you also would think everyone's going after Akimiko for tone when I think we've been pretty clear it's about more than that while Akimiko keeps dragging back to that being the only point I'm really conflicted here, because Akimiko still isn't really engaging. There's no way to tell if Akimiko is really being this gloomy, in which case I feel really bad about exing them, or if they're playing genuine emotion up to survive In the end, until further notice, my vote is staying because Akimiko's flip either way will be very useful

    ^ Same, there's two hours left and I'm fully willing to switch if convinced
  4. The Unknown Character
    The extra votes are worrying me. Still confident enough that Akimiko is e, but I don't trust a lot of the late additions whichever way she flips
  5. The Unknown Character
    But why not say this earlier? Why not open with this? Every time I've changed my playstyle, I've pretty explicitly mentored it. Also, why does an aggressive play style involve requiring a consensus train on d1, when information about vote movements is most useful, and why is doing otherwise letting the elims win? Like, I believe that you were trying a new playstyle and I don't have a problem with it, there's more reason to think you're an elim than just tone

    That was my first guess too, but, one, this is the time to break character or hint while within character (straight up no reason to not do the latter), and also the character doesn't seem like the one the signup describes
  7. The Unknown Character
    Like, what is this? This doesn't feel like how Akimiko was in previous games, furthermore, it's overdramatic and misrepresentative of my reasons. Might be confbias tunneling, but the feels like an elim digging a deeper and deeper hole with the Mist voters potentially being teammates trying to save Akimiko (more likely confbiasing on the second than the first imo)
  8. The Unknown Character
    Ah I see, I thought you were taking about the first bit, that makes more sense
  9. The Unknown Character
    ?

    Wth is Akimiko's tone here Why do you feel so weird??? Edit: Ninja’d, but that Wahr post does not make me like him or Akimiko any more at all
  11. The Unknown Character
    Akimiko

    >.> ~ I don't like the TOW train. Feels defensive of Wahr, not that I'm advocating returning to a newbie. I can see that Elim doc quite vividly though. "Wahr is getting votes" "They aren't defending themselves" "try the newbie defense" "it's not working well enough, start a counter train"
  13. The Unknown Character
    Rude Doc12 How that for a vote
  14. The Unknown Character
    What about offering to convert people to my cause? Or if they ask really really nicely?

    That order is completely nonsensical now that I think about it. Hmm Updated citation: DrakeMarshall, "QF78 - Cycle 1: Servants of a New Storm," SE, 17thshard.com, 31 January 2026 https://www.17thshard.com/forums/topic/201900-qf78-cycle-1-servants-of-a-new-storm/page/2/#findComment-2031387

    I approved these rules! Can't say I remember them in the slightest however I remember converts and an sk and that's about it. Also a spren I think
  18. The Unknown Character
    Me and Jo will just run the AG again, same rules and only a slightly modified distro
  19. The Unknown Character
    Funnily enough, my first game was also a TJ game I'll sign up, though I doubt I'll roleplay so no name
  20. The Unknown Character
    This would be after the QF, which signups haven't even been posted for yet. So a decent bit into February
  21. The Unknown Character
    See, I'm the other way around. I like Ender a lot more, I find him more relatable and his self doubt is much less obnoxious than Bean's superiority complex
  22. The Unknown Character
    Read Ender's Game on a whim and that spiraled off into a reread of Speaker for the Dead and a first time listen of Ender's Shadow. Rereading SftD really makes me feel stupid for not figuring out the twist earlier. I also, in the time between when I last read this book and now, have become much more proficient at Portuguese, which very much improves the experience. I've been groaning at my old pronunciations and skipping the sidebar translations this time around, and it's a cool marker of how much better I've gotten. I'm not done with Ender's Shadow yet, but I don't think my opinion will change much. It's a good book, but not on the level of EG or SftD. I just really don’t like urchin sequences (I skim Trebon in my NotW rereads), and though I got through it this time, the books been pretty average otherwise. I was on the edge of my seat when we learned about Bean's history though.

    It's boring when you undershoot, make your guesses believable
  24. The Unknown Character
    It's been a while, but the main character of DF was a huge step up as far as I recall, and there were a couple others I think
  25. The Unknown Character
    If you haven't continued yet, I think the characters get better in the next one, though I haven't worked up the mental power to read the third yet I would agree on weird though. I've read literal villain characters who I disagreed with less than the conclusions the books come to
