Alright! An excellent point! Let’s settle that, then. It was my plan from the start: my guess was that the eliminators likely had a blue or a white, that would try to pick up a yellow on Liranil, or find if they had a Warder, for future efficiency. Alternatively, they’d attack Liranil. It wouldn’t make sense to do both, since they’d waste the blue/white. My objective was to grab anyone who targeted Liranil, figuring we probably didn’t HAVE any more yellows and, that, if we did, I’d have a good guess whether I grabbed a yellow or an elim based on the results of the day. Therefore, I figured I had a 2/3 odds of catching a black ajah. I discussed the plan with Gears to begin the cycle, and submitted my target on Liranil late. Sadly, the one to declare the kill was the one Liranil killed, potentially, but not likely, indicating that they predicted a strategy like mine, so they sent the doomed man to do the dirty deed.
As a solution to your concern, however, how about I submit my scan to be used by popular vote? Or some other way you request. I’m happy to assist someone who wishes to receive reads. I’m not especially good with reads yet, though I hope to develop the skill. By the Light, and my hope of salvation and rebirth, I do swear to the veracity of these words. Make of that what you will.
As for the other, I will ask: are you indicating that Illwei claims Grey, and Burnt verifies? I think I can tell, James, what your role is, from Dannex’s statement, but I’ll respect their wishes and keep quiet.
That is not what I am claiming at all. Also I don't think you know what my role is lol.
Edit: Or maybe you do. It's def possible. Don't out me

Oh hey! we have flips! I can do...whatever this useless thing is!
C1:
Lotus (6) : Matrim's Dice, James Brafin, Illwei, Dannex, Flyingbooks42, Devotary of Spontaneity
Dannex (4) : Ashbringer, Breaker, Lotus, Liranil, StrikerEZ, Condensation
Gears (1) : Quinn0928
StrikerEZ (1) : ArcherC2:
Ashbringer (6) : Matrim's Dice, Breaker, StrikerEZ, James Brafin, Illwei, Devotary of Spontaneity
Dannex (5) : Gears, Ashbringer, Quinn0928, Lotus, Archer, Liranil
Quinn0928 (1) : DannexI'm going to go back and look at Strikers posts in a minute, but just for people to see. I'll talk about this after I look at striker I think.
EDIT:
Uh, see, I really have no clue who you think I am :P. I didn't intend to imply a role at all, but I have been figuring that maybe the Elims will think I'm a strong role and wanna kill me for it or something :P.
Honestly interested into seeing what you think. I'm not a Yellow.
I... What?
That is, in fact, what I thought. Okay hmmm ahhh that's not good augh0 -
Only with permission. Illwei?

I don’t know what I should reveal about my scan. It’s not super relevant, not a huge reveal, but it might be important. I could reveal the result, or I could reveal the target. I don’t think I want to reveal both.
Well, just revealing the result doesn’t actually tell the rest of you anything, so I’ll just say that I scanned James. I considered switching to Burnt but you all seemed to think that would be a waste so I didn’t.
Oh hey! Yeah, this pretty much tells you anything you need to know right here. If you can't parse it from this you aren't even trying.
6 minutes ago, Breaker said:I broke from my default tactic in an effort to save Dannex. I REALLY don’t think they’re elim.
I think that's fair, but I also don't think your "scan" tells us anything, as you could tell us the exact same thing as an Elim.
1 minute ago, Dannex said:Wait have you roleclaimed? What action are you talking about?
I thought it was pretty obvious. Burnt confirmed the role, and Illwei and I have been joking about it for a while now. This does pretty much confirm everything I thought though, shame on the mistarget.

I......I’m not dead?????????
It was one heck of a wagon. My guess is they thought Liranil was more of a threat as well, which is... Surprisingly telling. Their guesses on Elim must have been pretty accurate most of the time, otherwise they would have just let Liranil shoot town.

First post
Okay, so this definitely sucks, but we do have some info. Also, judging from Breaker Striker and Liranil targeted each other, which is not helpful but not surprising.
sigh Sorry, Ash. I'll run through your posts to see if you crumbed anything, but my guess is based on site meta you didn't.
With Striker on this wagon, I'm hedging a bet we had at least one more Elim. I realize this makes me really, really sus. At this point I'll gladly be lynched, even though I really don't want to. But I also would suggest looking at Breaker, Dice, and Devo as they all have been really sus. If we find much more here I'm guessing Dannex is more or less confirmed town.

COME ON GUYS WE NEED ONLY A FEW MORE

What does this even mean?
Right now? One of Illwei, James, or Mat. I was a little suspicious of Ash back before I got really busy this cycle too. That one post where they’re trying to figure out who could’ve attacked Connie felt like they were just looking for something to do without helping too much.
I'm getting the vibe you missed the post where I realized I'd been a fool in grammar.
Also, we all need to agree right now if this is gonna work. I'm seeing a lot of Oks with Ash, I say we hit them. Dice Ash
I swear to all the Cosmere, y'all had better back me up on this or I'm going to look a fool.

Sigh
well, @Matrim's Dice @Illwei and @James Brafin we seem to be the only ones not voting me, so we should all vote together if we want our votes to mean anything. Who do you think?
We should be hitting on your wagon. Ash is the one that is pinging me the most but it's just a gut read. At this point I'll do whatever :/

1 minute ago, Matrim's Dice said:
it's not an official claim
But shooting me would both
a.) be useless
b.) be shooting a vil
So it's a bad idea.
Your playstyle and Archer's are very very different though. May I point out Archer's first game?
BECAUSE I DON'T THINK DANNEX IS EVIL BUT IF PEOPLE ARE SO SET ON KILLING HIM LETS JUST GET IT OUT OF THE WAY XD
Yay Striker Quinn
I also don't have TMI on Dannex.
I don't think Dannex is evil either. But I am at least providing reasonable alternatives instead of jokesheeping.

Killing no one is looking smarter and smarter tbh
Heres an idea: Liranil, kill Dannex
Everyone else: exe someone else
Ties kill all
This right here is the behavior that looks so suspicious to me. Why are you white knighting Dannex so hard? because like Illwei, that's exactly what you're doing.

1 minute ago, Matrim's Dice said:
Ash of those three cause Striker is who we're voting rn
Twould be useless. And Archer is also very village seeming? Why?
Archer is only because others seem to feel that he is sus, I really don't like it honestly on second thought.
Lil, shoot Dice (unless this is a claim to warden, Dice?)

Liranil, might I make a suggestion? Shoot in Dice, Archer?
Edit: Freaking ninjas
Not Breaker, Gears will just protect.
I like Ash okay, but I don't have a firm read. I'd avoid this, but I wouldn't say no either.
Striker feels like a bad idea with he amount of lurking.0 -
Just now, Illwei said:
Huh. man, If only the Elims would serve up themselves on a silver platter by trying to save the same teammate two cycles in a row by hard defending them and trying to conjure up a CW out of thin air :).
Yeah, the more I look back at my notes, the more I realize Dice has been "participating" in a way that is not participating at all. None of their posts are actually contributing, have been high-effort/low-value, or just been weird? Dice just feels off, they've been sheepy and feel odd and I don't like it.

Just now, Illwei said:
OKAY WHAT
is going on.
We need to clear some things up so I'm going to try and recap really quick where we're at.
Danex Vote:
- Pushing Wierd Agendas D1
- Danex Voted Liranil for Bad reasoning
- Killing Danex would give us info
- Danex elim slipped.Counters:
- He was pushing for things he believed in, strongly, something that Elim!danex, or really most standard Elims don't do.
- That was a self-pres vote that he didn't feel strongly about. of course it was wishy washy or whatnot, he was only doing it to survive. NOT AI.
- INFO KILL BAD it wastes a cycle and is more often than not USELESS tell me what you're going to do with that info huh
- There was no slip. this was the basis of the Danex push today, and once it was cleared up people still found a reason to stay on Danex.Striker:
- Striker hasn't given any opinions yet still posting like someone posts normally. QF games usually don't have a lot of posts, so calling someone inactive relative to the activity of the thread right not is understandable but I disagree.
- Has stayed out of voting.Not good reasons but I don't think that Danex is the right kill. at all.
Might I suggest Dice then?

1 minute ago, Gears said:
Yes, explain. Reasonless votes automatically demote you.
I realized that likely Dannex was being protected with a vote tamper, and I was hoping that a Striker flip would provide more information than a Dannex flip. It's moot now, as the wagon is too large. But yeah.

The CONTRADICTION lol

I have not been trying to fly under the radar this game >:(
I never try to fly under the radar
And you're suspecting me for ran wagoning when my intention of randwagoning was to not exe someone you agree shouldn't be exed?
I think I saw TJ post but if not sorry for the double :P.
You're right about Dannex, but I support shreking at random even less. That is not the proper option here at all.

Just now, Matrim's Dice said:
Debatable. Ties don't kill both people in this game.
That's not right?
Just now, TJ Shade said:It's not advisable to edit in a vote because I may miss it. If you need to do it though, @ me, okay?
Oh, yes, sorry, didn't think about that. Dice, to clarify.

1 minute ago, Lotus said:
I mean if anyone wants to make the case to me in the next ~5 minutes who else I should vote for....
Dice has been trying to fly under the radar this whole game. His behavior reads someone with a kill to me. And now he just random-wagoned. This is the counterwagon to Dannex we've all been waiting for.

I think you give too much credit to that post. useful? ye, very very useful? eh, debatable. (@burnt I still love u tho pls don't hurt me ;-;)
:P.
Someone should know my role, in my opinion. you know, maybe everyone should know my role. I've been hinting at it since D2 but that's a lot more fun than outright claiming lmaoINFO. KILL. BAD.
how many times will i have to say this
INFO. KILL. BAD
look I know we want info, and if we do then the best action here is to NK danex, because we have already voted on him, and doing so again wouldn't change how people feel about him.
There has been so little kill discussion this turn imo that it kinda concerns me. but Danex should not be the shrek just because you want to know his wagon. Because it was a day 1 vote. You can't trust them. Say Danex does flip Elim, or village. what are your next steps from there?
My point was that @Ashbringer was on the thread after all those pages were up, so your point of him "not being awake for the past few pages" was false.
;-;
I mean, is that not what happened there though? no offense or whatnot meant, but what are these other people's reasons for voting Danex? He's an easy kill? He gives us info? both of which are not great reasoning.
Yes which is why I don't want Dannex dead. It seems like a bad idea to me. Looking for an easy powershrek
Edit:
1 minute ago, Matrim's Dice said:Why
Infokills are typically bad and the suspicion on Dannex doesn't make sense either
This is a bad plan
Who's Illwei voting on? We need a counterwagon.
Striker? Sure. Quinn Striker
You know what? Screw it. Chaos.

Danex feels like obvious town for me, and the push on him was led by someone who misinterpreted and no one else had backed off
Danex feels like he was accidentally turned into an easy opportunistic mishrek and that's how I see everyone on him currently.
Meanie.
As to my two choices for watching, Dice has been bothering me on and off all game. I have some suspicions on their alignment, but I'd like them followed. Archer is just a big question mark for me, he reads hard town, but I know others don't like him as much so it might be wise to do so.0 -

Okay so you know how like. All the roles have different colours, black inclusive? Yeah so like. Its listed there. Yes yes
I will consult with best warder if they believe this is advisable
I appreciate best warder
That was not helpful in the slightest.
Or maybe was? Dunno.0

Adding onto this, It has occurred to me that every time Dannex has scan, it's been a pretty useless scan for town. There were loads of better scans last night than I, and there were loads of better scans D1 than Liranil.
I don't want to vote yet, I'm still unsure if Dannex is town or not, but that's something else to take into consideration.
