The Unknown Character

Stop copying me >.> This is definitely a world that is possible, but it takes such a particular team comp that I think we need to flip TJ before actually pursuing that avenue.

How's it feel to be Kas' knew go to alternate exe target? You did better than I ever did, considering you actually survived. I am willing to reconsider Kas on an e!TJ but I'm feeling fine with him just having reconsidered and bro-read to the point of wanting someone else.

IKYK set up, really. Trying to get us to waste a tempo. I do think it explains the concerns you were having about his EoD. He knew he was safe. Also, you should know better than to last minute pivot onto Polly. There's not enough pickers. Clearly you should have last minute pivoted onto me, and you would have gotten ten votes. ???

TJ until further notice. I admit it's an IKYK but Occam's Razor says the elims saved their teammate there. Missed rollover by 15 minutes.

Yeah, actually, do I know you? From like years ago back when I actually participated outside of SE? I recognize your name.

Reading things is overrated. I didn't know they were open until Kas PMed me. I also didn't know (well I did approve the ruleset so really I forgot but close enough) the elims had the one time exe stall into Kas PMed me about that. I assure you we are all much more qualified than you When would Polly ever open a multi player PM without first checking the legality of such a PM. Polly would never This is actually wrong no matter how you cut the cake btw.

This thread has had enough philosophy without me adding to it. You'll understand when you read it.

Non existent as usual. I even reread, which I rarely do, and nothing pinged me. Aside from Penguin's thing which I don't actually care about all that much, just enough to earn a d1 (and d2, and d3, and oh well I have to vote someone and I know I'm v) vote.

Ties scare me in this game. They were specifically a point I brought up with Jo, and while I accepted his reasoning, they could have big consequences. In other news my name is Alvron and I will be your tiemaker this game (if I can at rollover and it doesn't involve people I like) Will PM you about this, but a personal theory of mine maintains that exing the counter train being more likely than usual is a good thing. Just realized though that the elims could hammer earlier if certain factors align. Might need to keep an eye on that. Lord Spirit is V confirmed In case I somehow don't make it in time for rollover (I really should but who knows, I forgot about it this morning), IcedOutPenguin because their not random #7 vote from a mysterious other person is the closest thing I have to a suspicion, and, contrary to popular opinion and previous statements, I do not want to die. (I just made a game where no one dies the least you can do is let me not die this game)

My soul is safe with him.

Thank you, you are awesome.

E!indicative For legal reasons this is a joke.

What makes you think I intended to leave it there? Sure, no voting is my MO, but I've shown an ability to adapt when needed. Free will is an illusion but man is it one pretty illusion that happens to function exactly the same as if it was reality.

I mean, human irrationality picking seven is like textbook evidence for human randomness being entirely predictable.

Now I'm very glad I changed now Area was always intended to be temporary. I figured Order was thematic for this game.

Factually incorrect, though I appreciate the compliment. I am buzzed (no, not like STINK, the other kind). There is a difference. I will (probably) be going actually bald for Halloween when I dress up as my wrestling coach. Speaking of Halloween: More like that one neighborhood that has like 2 houses actually giving out candy. You have to work for it. Theoretically, it could refer to me, but I'm guessing in this case that Polly is "shaking my head" at the one and only SMH. It took me a bit to figure out when I had an F name. It amuses me greatly how different people use different initials depending on when they first played with me.

Neither do we, that's the fun of it! Then TJ would only need to be an elim with Kas 9 more times before Kas can retire! It's what Kas always dreamed of. Hi, I'm here. This is going to be crazy. I heard from a little birdy that if you don’t vote, it counts as voting for yourself, so The Unknown Order ( @A Jo in the Bush, changing my name now that my game is over) Whatchu gonna do now??? I also heard there's game building in the dead doc so I figure I just do this every turn until I get there.

Yeah that one. Funny that we both pronounce it that way despite it not being remotely how it's spelt. Speaking for GMs everywhere, please don't. It's near impossible to @ you (though if you start with a single rareish Latin Alphabet letter I won't be too mad)

This is embarrassing. Never realized that. Mailliw always made me think of that one Pokémon with like a doll head and a weird monster head, I feel like it has a similar name. I think it's kinda standardized on Spirit tbh, but I do like the idea of referring to him (Him? :P) as Lord.

As we approach closer to that goal, I say, onwards, to chaos and beyond.

I feel like generally, with names like that, you can assume the Y acts either as an I or yi sound, whichever makes more sense. So Fleercado Violi (Although I actually like the sound of Vyeoli, but that's a bit hard to say for an English speaker)

I almost sent you a "You successfully converted Wiz" message.

Long Game 105 - Aftermath: Just Another Expedition This is the story of an expedition. A journey into a strange wilderness, full of bizarre creatures. It's a story of a Medic, trying to keep that expedition safe, at the expense of themselves. It's the story of a Linguist, searching through the words that tell the story of this Forgotten Coast, and finding only lies. It's the story of a Surveyor, searching tirelessly, without pause, and only finding the truth at the last moment. It's a story of failure, because Area X always wins. Everyone is always replaced. Nobody ever goes back across that border unchanged. The Linguist returned utterly broken. The Surveyor never returned, living in Area X until the end of their days. The others? Some would say they never returned. What returned merely shared their faces, their memories. Perhaps you think that's enough, perhaps you think it was always Theseus’ Ship. But there will be another expedition. There always is. And it always ends the same. ~ The Wandering Wizard has completed his win condition just in the nick of time! Everyone has been replaced by doppelgangers! A new rule has been revealed: Housekeeping: <snip> Everyone will win, how they win is the question. TJ completed the Return win condition on Day Four. He also completed the Return Anew win condition Day Eight, making him the only double winner. Be more like TJ. The Wandering Wizard completed the Discover the Secret of Area X win condition on Day Eight. He also discovered it on Day Seven, so he was much more efficient than the rest of you. Everyone else completed the Return Anew win condition on Day Eight! Ashbringer, who was the first doppelganger, and saw them through til the end. Quivil, who should have been the first doppelganger (Ash stole their glory with an unlucky heal), and single handedly executed everyone who stood in their way. Illwei, who valiantly took up Polly’s mantle, and would have completed the Escape Along the Coast win condition, if they had remembered to put their action in. RBM, who chugged along, exploring until they discovered Discover the Secret of Area X win condition on Day Three. They also would have completed it if they had remembered to send an action in. Hoid, who spent half the game hypnotized by Polly and the other half collecting information from descriptions of my writeups. While I admire your effort, they were fully irrelevant. And Polly, you didn't make it all the way through, but you'll be remembered for dragging Hoid along by his ear then making Illwei deal with the consequences. ~ I can't speak for the rest of you, but I really enjoyed GMing this game. Congratulations to everyone, and thanks for playing the madness that was this game. My GM thoughts can be found scattered throughout the Spec doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZiiDeGhn2VAsAuxbi4m8fooxcUoyfeVpyEVwfxsCz8o/edit?usp=drivesdk I might make a post to sum them up, but I wouldn't count on it. I've done enough writing for this game. You can find every Exploration PM in the Prewriting doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15rTHZkNdwEoKHlj0p1BvaFUC3AmZdnOjKCVDTTVGesg/edit?usp=drivesdk You can find everyone's actions and some of the Vote counts in the Mastersheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KFtWs7kZTRLDlHqSQipCT2phoIT4JvnXG-b03W-_rdA/edit?usp=drivesdk You can find the schemes of the doppelgangers, as well as some mad ramblings, in the Elim doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YF2JSDDDBk9c5lgTzDHqRXLjXhSdPtVBTT7PdDWRnm8/edit?usp=drivesdk And you can find the entirety of these rules in the Full Spoilers rules document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15rTHZkNdwEoKHlj0p1BvaFUC3AmZdnOjKCVDTTVGesg/edit?usp=drivesdk Players:

And that's the game. See everyone in a bit.

Long Game 105 - Day Eight: Fraying We sent the Archeologist away just for the Anthropologist to return. Certainly Central wouldn't be sending so many back. Can we trust those who have returned? The world frays. The end draws near. ~ LG105 Day Eight has begun! The Archeologist (RBM) was sent to Central. Archeologist: They have been tasked with analyzing the decay rate of the structures within Area X. They will have a higher success rate when exploring the Island. The Anthropologist (Hoid Slayer) has returned from Central. Votecount: RBM (3): Quivil, Ash Quivil (2): Wiz, RBM Things to Note: You can Explore locations today, but voting does not resume until the next turn. Actions can be sent in within your GMPM and must specify a location to search. Remember that all italics are purely flavor! And even the non italicized mechanical text can be misleading without full context. Remember also that it is against the rules to directly quote from your GMPM, only paraphrasing is allowed. Rollover will be in one day at 12:30 on Friday the 16th of May. Players:
