We don’t NEED to Obviously, interaction is nice, but I think the XP from discussion and RP covers the whole cycle

From a nearby alley, shrouded by the darkness, Shifter watched Illi go in. The interaction brought a familiar pang to his chest. He idly rubbed the sheath at his belt. There was no one waiting for him.

Can we see the tallies, for everyone, or just us? I think I'm gonna keep my spores private for now. Soooo... There really isn't anything to talk about It was a quiet night. The boat rocked gently with the seethe. Shifter stood at it's back, watching the night lights of the harbor fade in the distance. Leaving them behind. He stood alone, most having already retired to bed. So he was alone to wonder. Who was truly trapped? The sailors on the boat, traveling from rock to rock, yet spending their lives confined on a vessel? Or the people on the island, living in comfort yet never seeing past their limited world? Perhaps they all were.

Really? Longer post on its way

Alright, thanks

Aman: Feel free to postpone RP Everyone: Absolute silence Also Aman I noticed you moved rollover from 9 PM EST to 10 PM EST. Can we expect this kind of change regularly?

That makes sense I'm just a little jumpy about analyzing Shifter sat with his legs over the edge as he watched the sun fall. He knew most would consider it unsafe; but it was the best view. And the sound of the spores soothed him. There was nothing left to do tonight; it had been a calm day. So all there was left to do was wait.

Dang That village fumble is craaaaaaaaaazy Literally like a dream come true for an elim team

...

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense So do you think this free cycle should just be to have fun? Also, @Amanuensis, will there be an NK tonight? Since there's no exe, do the elims just get an extra kill?

Shifter stepped into the light. He looked around. Sailors, warriors, vagabonds. In the coming weeks, they would grow to know each other. Some of them would learn. Some of them would teach them. And some of them would destroy them. Alright! I've finally had the time to read through what has taken place so far, and here're my thoughts: There's been an awful lot of RP, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it can make parsing harder. It could be worth mentioning that the Bee and Twin started the RP. Doc and Jo have been basically the only people to really take an interest in analyzing the rules, and that gives both of them a light v!read in my eyes - although it's worth keeping in mind that Doc has also been vocal about trying to find out what spores people are gunning for, which strikes me as somewhat odd. @Doc12, would appreciate any comment you can make here as I didn't really understand the purpose behind these inquiries. CD REALLY wants Roseite - which, on the one hand, yeah it's definitely the best but also feels a little weird he's trying to convince people not to grab it so he can have it. And... there really isn't much to say. It's an eerily calm day for Sanderson Elimination, but I guess that's what you get when there's no one to kill. This bribing for the Roseite also feels odd, although it could be jokey. Dayum I just clicked that without context and am now traumatized How was that even balanced? ... From most people, I'd find this sus, but it's Penguin... Shifter spotted Roberto standing alone on the bow and walked over to him. He seemed like a nice man, who hadn't interacted with many yet. Shifter approached until he stood next to him, and placed his hands on the railing to look across to the horizon. "What brings you to these waters?"

… You do realize that by blatantly stating and coordinating this kind of things, you’re giving the elims clear targets? I see a couple possibilities where this claim could be a good, thought out play from you but I don’t think we’re living in one Also, this brings me to another point: @Amanuensis, will we be able to see who got which spores once the day ends? Or will that remain private? I haven’t gotten to interact as much today as I’d like, and I’ll probably be in a similar (albeit slightly better) situation tomorrow. Saturday, though, I’ll try to be a lot more active

Guess who went through a frenzied panic an hour ago trying to frantically pick three spores before realizing rollover is tomorrow

I understand that, and I'm all for RP, I just think discussion is more beneficial for the village in the long term Also, we're getting equally bribed regardless of what kind of post we make - and it seems like a lot of people have already gotten their RP quota in Shifter was slightly disgruntled by that.

… whoops I knew I was missing something Araris, I’ll come for you later For now, I haven’t read like anything cause I’m just getting back from school and trying to squeeze in a post, but I think the more non RP interaction we have taking place, the better RP is fun, but later when we’re going back over this it won’t really give us anything when we could be using this time to begin to develop reads Shifter smashed his pillow against the wall one last time, breathing heavy. How had he made that mistake? He needed to lie low… but the stress still chased him. He took a couple deep breaths. It was fine. Everything was fine. Shifter emerged back onto the deck, pulling his hood back over his head and exchanging quick furtive glances with a group of sailors playing cards on the side. A single glare - and flash of the ebony blade nestled in the folds of his cloak - was enough to make them look away. It was time to see who he was trapped in this cage with. Some eggs’d be nice.

*squeeze*

Hiya folks! Uhh… I’m gonna be honest I forgot about this game. I need to sleep right now, so I’ll try to go over stuff and make some RP tomorrow. For now, Araris Valerian I’ll give my reasoning in the morning

Guys

And me as Shifter, please

Hey guys! Sorry I’ve been gone a while, and it’s past midnight so I ain’t going back and responding to everything (so sorry if I miss you) but I’ll try to answer some things. I would LOVE to read your story. I’m also something of an aspiring writer, myself. *deep, prolonged squeezeI to all of you* IT REALLY HAS So… I’ve kinda got something to get off my chest There’s this girl I like; really, I’ve liked her for a while now, since like… May? But… she has a boyfriend now. And it’s weird. We’re still close friends, and I wouldn’t want to do anything to hurt their relationship. But at the same time, I still have feelings for her I know I can’t act on. And every time I see them together, it’s just… weird. And maybe the worst part is that… I feel like I had a chance. Last year, we grew close. We were texting, and the more I look back on it, the more I feel like I really had an opportunity. But I fumbled it. I was in a bad place at the time, and I isolated myself. I couldn’t take the step. And then this other guy happened. I was there throughout their whole relationship, giving her advice. They got together, and she’s happy. But I’m not. So… yeah. Just felt like ranting a little. A popularity poll feels a little messed up - what’s the point of it? To make the popular kids feel good about themselves at the expense of everyone else? HAAAAALYYYYYYY How’s it going? YES You’ve helped us all so much Really, Hawks. I cannot express how thankful I am Typing up responses to everyone is so real Dang *squeeze* You’re entire situation is so messed up, and I wish I could do something to help you I think I know who the friend your referring to is, squeezeI for her as well I hope things improve for both of you. But whatever happens, we’re always here - even if I’m not actually here here as much as I would like … To all the people who had good news, yay! To all the people who are struggling - I feel you. And I will send all the strength I can your way. You’re awesome. Don’t forget it.

Sorry, didn’t see this Take your time!

@Amanuensis will you be updating the player list? Also if you do end up using any of the special roles would you let us know?

Officially signing up as a man of many names - Shifter, the Mage Slayer, the Forsaken Son - a mysterious character who I… actually have no plan for
