Wouldn't it be more like Nightblood? braces for someone to attack me That would be a likely issue Yeah, I'm not that opposed to AI (don't use it for artistic stuff or anything *shivers* just for like when I'm stuck on a problem for studying NOT FOR HOMEWORK, might be bc I code a ton so I've coded one and stuff although I HATE the mere thought of vibe coding) and I don't really want AI having Skybreaker abilities. that sounds like the leadup to a movie. Like, a Terminator style movie

Long Game 109: The Lords of Luthadel
Ookla the Newt replied to TwinStorm's topic in Sanderson Elimination
I didn't - I forgot and was busy until like 3 minutes before rollover, and yeah. Mondays are not easy nights for me, and this one especially. Sry. I can tonight if people want. Hmmm. That's interesting. Honestly I have no idea what to make of this. Because I know that I'm not an elim, but e!Sart makes no logical sense. In e!Sart world, Akimiko's village almost certainly - there's no way he'd have a ploy like this if his third teammate was under suspicion as well. But in v!Akimiko world, this would work out very nicely for the elims. There are probably 6 village, 2 elims remaining. Sart would want Akimiko to get voted out to avoid drawing suspicion to him, but either one would work. Four village, two elims remaining. The next day, I get voted out. Two village, two elims remaining. Elim win. If I get voted out, then four village, two elims remaining tomorrow. The day after, Sart gets voted out, and three village, 1 elim remaining. But here's the thing - Akimiko would get voted out that day. One village, one elim remaining. And that would be that. Whoever the third elim is would win. This seems like some desperate theory of self preservation, or some act of revenge, but it's not. Because in e!Akimiko world, Akimiko would have told the other elims, and the other elims would have noticed a trap. At least if I were an elim I would have - all of you have seen my massive analytical posts, and trust me - e!me would be doing that for kills or something as well. Particularly after Penguin was caught in a similar trap. So the only holdup to my theory is the reliance on v!Akimiko. But here's my main question about that - There are two reasons why there wasn't an attempted kill on Sart. The first is what all of you are assuming - Akimiko notified the other elims. But what about the second possibility? That Sart himself is an elim, that he knew that Hoid (regardless of alignment) would be pressuring Akimiko to protect Sart, tying up one of the two protections. Sart, as he has said himself, is one of the longest playing players here. Additionally, as condemning as all of the circumstantial evidence on Akimiko seems, that is all it is - circumstantial evidence, that although it is a slight stretch of the imagination, could occur from a new player. What do you trust more? The person who, out of nowhere, twice has revealed elaborate plans, sometimes waiting a full day to reveal them, who has acted suspicious throughout the game but has suddenly been given a "free pass" through revealing another elim? Or the person who has laid out her thinking in clear posts and has been transparent. I don't really care if I get exed at any other time. But if I get exed now, there is no way for village to win. See my analysis above. Sart would get voted out, but the third elim would win. So, even if all of you decide to vote me, there is one thing I ask. Look past Akimiko on the third day after that. Akimiko has been the bait throughout much of this. Sart knows that they're the logical choice to vote. But if you look closer, I suspect that the elim is someone else. If you vote Akimiko then, elims will win. I suspect dp or Ksauce, and will try to do a more detailed analysis so that all of you can at least use that, but don't let Sart's trap work. With that: Sart. -

Ookla the Newt replied to TwinStorm's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Btw Hoid, would suggest you use your protect on yourself - my guess is that elims will view you as a prime target if Akimiko is in fact village bc Sart'd be the one being protected -

I don't think we do, but there are probably two more - all the games I've played have had 3 elims. 4th place. I didn't yap nearly as much yesterday. Wait really? 1 down, (hopefully) 2 more to go What is happening in that dead doc Will do more analysis (and possibly rp) later, have hw right now. -

Not sure. Probably Dustcaller bc Elsebringer sounds weird. Edit: Since I've already sworn my first Dustcaller ideal: My second Ideal: I will seek self-mastery over how my words affect others - both indirectly and directly. There's context to a lot of this, some of which I'm not comfortable sharing, but yeah things happened and I'm... not doing well, although it sounds stupid to say that when I'm the one at fault. It seems minor, but... for some reason it's not in my mind.

I unleash a sophon, which begins to attack the Maw 6 which is the closest thing to its own size the sophon has ever tried to mess with. Also, while it's attacking the Maw 6 it messes with y'all's retinas and makes you see pretty lights bc why not if we're doing tiny yet dangerous objects- 13681 replies

Long Game 109: The Lords of Luthadel
Ookla the Newt replied to TwinStorm's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Well there goes my Sart / Penguin elims-playing-each-other-off theory, unless both of them are playing a REALLY deep game combined with sacrificing one elim or smth. Going to redact my vote on Sart bc most of my reasons for voting Sart have been redacted for now. Certainly explains why Sart's was "trying too hard to vote Penguin". Or, you know, does the opposite entirely, and introduces a whole group of new questions about if e!Sart what e!Sart hopes to achieve. And going to vote for Penguin, although for some reason something feels off. I don't know what, it just feels too easy if that makes any sense. But whenever I try to think through why Sart would try to get us to vote out v!Penguin, I end up with conspiracy theory level rabbit holes. Still though, something feels off with Sart. It might be connected to the Ruler train, but why would elims sacrifice one elim for another? But yeah there's definitely 1, probably 2 elims somewhere in there, I just can't figure out where. -
Congrats to both of you! Also welcome to my fellow Elsecaller!

Long Game 109: The Lords of Luthadel
Ookla the Newt replied to TwinStorm's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Huh, I was not expecting that. RIP Coder. (To confirm things said elsewhere here, I was 2nd in political power, and I did protect Hoid Slayer.) Starting to wonder if the whole Hoid Slayer thing was meant to get me to protect someone never really in danger, but making a literal timeline with almost every action is not a elim move - way too fog-of-war reducing - and last game I got ridiculously paranoid after something similar with Fura and went down a whole rabbit hole there (spoiler: Fura was not an elim, I was just paranoid), so going to try to approach this calmly and rationally, and not jump to conclusions again. So not seriously considering that world. I'm stealing Hoid's summary (and also the format, Hoid I really hope you don't mind, I'm very sorry if you do, just thought it was a really good way to analyze things and goodness knows this game needs clear analysis) though bc I don't really want to go through everything (Hoid seriously, props for going through and doing all that) so going to stick that in spoilers then expand the summary for today. Now expanded for today: Timeline: KSauce says he didn't remember Coder being considered village widely. Hoid Slayer votes Ruler (I think bc of private message reasons, although Hoid I'd appreciate some elaboration on that vote) Sart votes Penguin bc of CD's vote change putting pressure on Penguin Penguin votes Sart bc only elim lean KSauce votes Ruler for ruler not explaining his actions Ruler votes Hoid Slayer, reasons unclear Penguin votes Ruler for showing up and voting seemingly randomly without explanation Akimiko votes Ruler, reasons unclear (akimiko would appreciate some elaboration) Ruler elaborates on his vote, saying it was because Hoid voted him first Ruler swaps to Penguin, reasons unclear Iced tries to reconstruct political power rankings Akimiko sends long rp Hoid comments on Akimiko going for higher political power Akimiko says they got 5th Hoid asks if emojis count as words Iced asks who got 6th, jokes that Akimiko doesn't want Hoid to get it twice. Akimiko says they want to be at least 2nd so they can save someone Iced asks if you can save yourself Various conversation among Iced, TwinStorm about the pain of word counting (respect to TwinStorm btw for doing that) KSauce says they think either Sart is village, or Sart and Akimiko are elims together. Actions from last night that are known: 1. Hoid Slayer. Blocked CD (Level 1 action) 2. Booknewt. Protected Hoid Slayer (Level 2 action) 3. Sart (guessed). Unknown action. 4. Penguin (guessed). Watched for who targeted Hoid Slayer. Outcome was I did (wow who would've guessed) (Level 5 action) 5. Akimiko. Watched for who targeted Penguin. Was Sart. (Level 5 action) 6. Unknown. My guess is CD, although that's not certain obv. and I'm not counting. Analysis: There was no discrepancy in claimed action vs action level, unfortunately. Was hoping there would be bc that would be a strong elim indicator. and I want strong indicators not guesswork. Penguin and Hoid are both focusing on reconstructing the political power and rankings, I agree with that focus frankly bc there's probably a ton of information that in most games when put together would point towards the elims but is never revealed bc players are worried they'll get killed by the elim for saying their role. But that doesn't matter here which is a major advantage for us frankly. Either Sart and Penguin are a very elaborate elims-hate-each-other ruse, or they aren't the same alignment, or they're confused village. If they are both elim, Akimiko would have to be with them so that they could say that Sart targeted Penguin. KSauce saying that they didn't think Coder was generally thought of as being village COULD be a self-aware elim, but I'm not going to go down rabbit holes this game, I have made a firm resolution not to do that unless I'm desperate after all the weird ones I did last game. Blocking CD could be a good move to claim to do in e!Hoid world, bc then there'd be no one to question that action. Also kinda surprised elims didn't even try to kill Hoid tbh - maybe he was just too obvious a choice, but wouldn't elims want to go for an obvious choice so one of the elims is Hoid, but then they wouldn't get a kill bc an obvious choice would be protected so they wouldn't... yeah I'm going down a rabbit hole why am I so prone to doing that. Reads: Hoid: Either deepwolf or village. Ruler: Too wolf to be wolf, in my mind. Either a very disengaged elim putting in the bare effort, or village. Like I've come up with random reasons to vote someone - see Divergent last game - and it's not that hard to do tbh if you want to blend in. Has a... heavy tendency to suspect whoever's voting him (suspected hoid, akimiko, and penguin, look who voted him...) I don't like that. If they're new, then that's a very clear elim sign in my mind. Akimiko: Don't really know what to make of them. Seems like either a very eager first time player or elim in my mind, leaning towards the first though bc going to go easy on the first time player. Dp: hi. not much to say here. Sart: I don't like how Sart's acting tbh. Feels like Sart's trying too hard to vote Penguin today, if that makes any sense. The justification given seems pretty random, and they were all over the place yesterday - felt like a confused elim. But Sart said that they're really experienced, so confused elim wouldn't make sense here. Penguin: Can't get a solid read here tbh. I mean clear clues aren't really to be expected from Hoid, Penguin, or Sart (but less so Sart bc Sart hasn't played in a while apparently) bc all three are very experienced. But yeah struggling to get a read there KSauce: Neutral. Votes: Going to vote Sart for now, might switch to the Ruler train later. Don't like how fast the Ruler train formed which is my main reason for not joining it tbh. So that brings my vote count to: Ruler (3): Hoid Slayer, Penguin, Akimiko Sart (1): Booknewt Penguin (2): Sart, Ruler -

I wish I could go to DSNX... Don't think I'll be able to go for like *runs numbers* 4 years at least though, and 4 years even would be a tossup given I'm planning to go to one of the military academies (def wouldn't be able to go freshman year, sophomore year small chance, junior or senior year 50/50) -
If you could play a part in the Mistborn Saga Movie(s)
Ookla the Newt replied to Vielence's topic in Mistborn
I probably wouldn't be able to pull off Vin unfortunately, even though I'm approx the right age for her. Allriandre is a no. Tindwyl is much older than me. I'd really like playing Marasi or Steris, Steris would be really fun. I would NOT be able to play MeLaan, I swear I wouldn't be able to say a ton of her lines without either giggling, blushing ridiculously, or both. (well maybe I would be marasi because of the blushing...) Assuming they have open auditions That would be AWESOME (not that I’d stand any chance, but still awesome) Oooooh that'd be awesome and I would not get any role whatsoever, I have no credentials besides one year of drama and messing around reenacting books with my brother.
