Don't worry about it. My first *checks list* five games? were a mess. They're actually still a mess, you just can't tell anymore. -
Important Reminder About Signatures
The Unknown Medallion replied to #1 Taln Fan's topic in 17th Shard Discussion
First of all, is there any way to know if you're violating this as a mobile user? Sure, I can edit my sig, but I have no idea how many lines it takes up on a computer, which is presumably the method we're using to measure. Also: Really want to know the history of this and what we did. -

I'd be making or heavily revising a ruleset over the weekend and getting it approved over next week. -
The Art of Game Creation

Would people be interested in a Dungeon Crawler Carl game? Probably flavored as starting a new level with a mafia theme. Maybe with secrets. -

Long Game 104: The Flame of Tar Valon
The Unknown Medallion replied to |TJ|'s topic in Sanderson Elimination
E!me doesn't do random kills like that. If I were to rand, it would be within players I was willing to kill. In reference to the votes in our Ajah, Polly wanted me to have it, and Twin followed that. I tried to get Polly to take it, but Polly didn't want it. They both ended up voting for me. Aet Twinstorm Self pres. -
Long Game 104: The Flame of Tar Valon
The Unknown Medallion replied to |TJ|'s topic in Sanderson Elimination
The much demanded larger defense post. I feel like I already made most of the points, but there's a few more now. First of all, let's rehash my earlier points. I voted Kas based off of a flip of a coin between Kas and Drake. I got heads, so on went my vote to Kas, despite being aware that he was most likely village. I was okay with this because, honestly, I've wanted to get Kas exed while I was an elim for a while now, but I'll accept getting him exed as a villager. Kas and Drake were the subjects of the coin flip because I, unabashedly, wanted to protect Polly. I've enjoyed my time in docs with Polly between here and the QF, and wanted to keep chatting. I also v!read Polly (I never claimed to be good at being village) because they said no when I offered the position of Sitter to them. I'm not sure why they refused, but I'd guess it was either to pocket me or because they didn't think Storm would join them. That's it for old points. Now here's some new reasons I'm not an elim. The Teldris kill is so outside of my kill meta it's insane. Like Kas said, I kill dangerous people with accurate reads. Low info kills are not really my style, especially when they usually thin the numbers of a category that contains myself. And, Teldris was a new player. Sure, I sometimes let my teammates decide the kill, mainly to hide my kill meta. But if I was letting my teammates decide, why wouldn't I steer them away from a player from a protected group? I know the tradition, and I am quite consistent in following it, even when other teammates are deciding instead of me. Why wouldn't I point them in the direction of Steel, Aet, or Ash if they were looking for a low info? I also haven't made an effort to prevent or slow my Stilling. I very likely could have convinced Storm to give me another chance if I has tried. I could have hopped on the people saying to do BB at lowest votes instead of me. I didn't because, frankly, I don't want to be constantly clogging the election discussion. I'd always be a distraction every night, and we have more important things to discuss. Like I said before, I realized you had to Still me. You can't have some that obviously voted to attempt to save a flipped elim in a position to be elected to Amyrlin. But that's not a danger anymore. I'm just a body now, and will be subject to immense scrutiny, stopping me from pulling any shannonigans. I'd like to keep playing this game for a while longer. Now, the part I usually struggle with in these defensive posts (yes, I have to make them a lot. As evidenced by this game, I tend to pick up suspicion when I'm village) is picking out my target. The Teldris kill was obviously from someone who didn't know or didn't care about the tradition. Or someone who didn't know Teldris was new (off hand, Gaea probably, STINK, Sart, maybe Jo, maybe Mark). I don't really want to go after the new and returning players when one has already been hit. With that thought process and those limitations, I think Aeternum is the best choice. I also don't like Wiz's vote on me. If feels like a copout/LHF type vote, which is common from elims on me. His comments have also been off, but I don't think this kill seems very likely coming from him. I don't think he's as sensitive about killing newbies as some people, but he's not my priority. I would be willing to self-pres onto Mark. He fits the profile and isn't super returning. I just think Aet is a better prospect. And I fear Aet's e!game a bit more (I don't think I've played against e!Mark? Idk). Wow. That was a lot. Well, here it is, I'll respond to any replies in the morning. -

Really? You think I would kill a newbie? @Kasimir can back me on at least this. I'm very attentive about not killing newbies and returning players. And either way I'm dead. Uhhh. Does this work? -

Long Game 104: The Flame of Tar Valon
The Unknown Medallion replied to |TJ|'s topic in Sanderson Elimination
I know how this looks... I'll admit it, I knew Kas was village. I did not fake the rand. I would never invoke the gods of Luck and Chance in vain. I might have randed between just Kas and Drake though. Why those two? You may ask. Well, I didn't want Polly to die. I quite like Polly, and we were having a great time in our doc. Apparently, it wasn't the only doc they were having fun in >.< I was okay with voting Kas because I thought it was hilarious he was getting as much suspicion as he was. and Kas getting exed as village may or may not be on my bucket list Was that counter to the village's interests? Well, yeah. But it would have been funny. I understand you have to still me now as a matter of course, but all I ask is that you don't exe me on principle tomorrow, because I want to hang around in the game and chat with Storm in our doc. Pretty please? Oh, and Joe, because I like Jo and feel guilty for flipping the coin that killed him in the QF.- 990 replies

Long Game 104: The Flame of Tar Valon
The Unknown Medallion replied to |TJ|'s topic in Sanderson Elimination
Most people have some memories of certain tells, but yeah, Kas is a bit of an outlier. I am constantly in awe that you can remember game Numbers. I don't think that kind of thing jumps out to people. Especially from e!games. I think a v!late game with me would be what it really takes to figure out how hard it is to read me. All of the people you listed only really know what e!me is like, and that's not particularly relevant here. Beyond that though, I really doubt whether someone would think of me as categorically hard to read unless they'd been in the games where you and me discussed it. I forgot about this post and it says 10+ new replies, so I'm going to hit send and edit more stuff in.- 990 replies

Long Game 104: The Flame of Tar Valon
The Unknown Medallion replied to |TJ|'s topic in Sanderson Elimination
I think it was less confidence in me, and more lack of confidence in themselves. I think my comparative experience was a factor as well. I mean, do you really think I have a very high chance of being elected? I'm fully expecting to be stilled. I'm curious why you think me being hard to read is well known? I am, and you pretty much know the trick of it, but I don't think it's particularly well known. Especially considering the returning and new player heavy make up of this game.- 990 replies

Long Game 104: The Flame of Tar Valon
The Unknown Medallion replied to |TJ|'s topic in Sanderson Elimination
If it's because of activity, I'm at a wrestling tournament at the moment. If it's because I got Sitter... let's just say I didn't ask for it, but when asked if I wanted it, I said Threnody yes. I'm actually feeling pretty good about my docmates because of it. Neither really wanted it, and when I kinda pushed for one for activity reasons, they refused. I think those are the reasons I heard you mention earlier. I'll be more activity by tomorrow, if not later today. I like this post. I was a bit iffy on the earlier one (and still am on the Kas shade them hedging the Kas shade), but I like the reasoning and it lines up with my thinking.- 990 replies
