    Okay I can't decide whether to be disappointed in my vote choice or to start laughing at the writeup just bc R2D2 sounds so odd in that context (I know, I know...) Will do analysis either later tonight or in the morning, right now I have hw

    My acting experience in plays is very limited (1 year of drama), but I mess around by myself or with my little brother a LOT, so I have a decent idea of my range Welp this is hard for me bc all the characters I would want to be are boys, I would NOT be able to pull off Syl - not nearly peppy enough, even if I were trying really really hard, I wouldn't be able to pull it off - and age-wise aren't old enough to be Jasnah or Navani. Lyn and Azure would be fun, but possibly too young for both of those. Too old for Lift and also no I could NOT pull that off. Lift's personality is the polar opposite of mine. I wouldn't turn down Shallan obv if it was offered, but wouldn't be my top choice. WAIT THE SINGERS EXIST. and personal appearance wouldn't matter bc I'd be covered in prosthetics. So either Venli, Raboniel, or Eshonai... Honestly not sure I'd have the range for Raboniel even though that would be my top choice. I really liked all the science-y scenes in RoW, and given Navani or Jasnah would be my top choice, Raboniel would be second. Eshonai after that, then Venli. I liked Venli, but I think I'd be able to get into Eshonai's head better. So yeah, Raboniel top, then Eshonai

    Okay I haven't seen rings of power and was about to seriously question that when I first saw search results for Charlie Vickers Rings of Power, but then I removed rings of power and I can absolutely see that. Don't have a solid mental image of the Lord Ruler and haven't seen anything with Joseph Mawle in it, so can't judge that very well. Would depend on if he can pull off the scenes well Aaaand yep Nikolaj Coster-Waldau would work amazingly for Kelsier. For kelsier casting though it'd depend a lot on who they cast for Vin, and I personally hope they cast someone who's relatively unknown for Vin tbh. Was about to say Elizabeth Dulau (Kleya in Andor) who would definitely be able to pull off Vin, but then I realized A) not going to be able to play a 16 year old and B ) (space bc the shard auto-emojis) I am probably saying that bc I liked andor a ridiculous amount. Unfortunately I haven't watched enough recent stuff to be able to fancast well other than that

    Alr, just got out of class (I have class from 1:30pm - 9:00pm for some reason, my schedule is weirddd) My updated reads (Hoid you will unfortunately be disappointed - I don't have very good analysis for what's happened so far unfortunately) Trusting Akimo more, they seem to be genuinely trying to solve as a new player, so going to give them some slack for now. Pretty solidly leaning village for Hoid, then again he's experienced enough that I'm scared to trust him after last game, but this doesn't really resemble anything he did last game or in the game before that - he's being pretty clear about his thoughts. Dp's pretty busy right now, which is prob why he hasn't been on, so neutral for him for now, plus he's semi-new at least for SE. Less suspicious of Sart now - starting to feel more like it was a genuine complaint about poke votes, one I share tbh - although given he's apparently very very experienced going to keep an eye on him. Being experienced works against him in my mind tbh bc a less experienced elim wouldn't start questioning general strategy and would be scared to say something like that, but more experienced would prob do what village them would do. So neutral with a slight elim lean. Slight elim lean for Penguin, mainly just vibes, not fully sure. For Ksauce - Had similar behavior about vanishing around this time in QF75 I think it was (the purelake game) so not suspicious of that. For Ruler - I don't like the behavior so far. Hopped on once, pokevoted someone that I personally am slightly suspicious of, and said some stuff about timezones, but didn't offer any justification and page 3 of d1 is pretty late for a poke vote. However hasn't been active, and I want to wait a bit before going after inactive players bc that rarely is effective in my experience. For Coder - This seems rather on the nose if he's elim, so either an internal joke trying to lower suspicion or a confident villager, can't tell which. Can't judge him for having homework / schoolwork, at least unless he uses it as an excuse too much. For Worldhopper - Has been online, but hasn't said anything other than a joke about Hoid being elim bc of setting up pms, which have no real good use for an elim that I can think of for a game like this. Going to vote Worldhopper. Will edit in some rp in a minute, it's just getting close to rollover and don't want to risk it. Edit: Wow votes changed while I was typing, didn't want to hit the show posts bc I have been bitten by that in the past. Going to stick with my vote though, feel pretty good about it. Edit 2: Lord Renalis shifted nervously in his seat. Change bothered him. Some changes had been good. But others threw off his plans, caused him to worry. Like the arrival of the armies surrounding the city. Or changes in the assembly. He had to account for new factors, or change his plans alltogether. So he made backup plans. He shifted through his papers, but none of them covered the arrival of Lord Capone. He would have to do this on his own. Did I just rp steris but 300 years earlier

    I show you the fish heads song and while you are extremely confused grab the sandwich
  6. Ookla the Newt
    What is that song edit: WHY ARE THERE FISH HEADS GROWING OUT OF THE GROUND AND FISH HEADS IN SOUP AND FISH HEADS HAVING A BIRTHDAY PARTY WHO MADE THIS SONG
  7. Ookla the Newt
    A ton of sharders are in Utah. Prob more there then any other state / country
  8. Ookla the Newt
    IMDB does that a lot, not reliable. Pretty sure that it has one for Way of Kings and all sorts of other books as well

    Iced stop ninja-ing my posts and making them invalid /j

    Do I count? /j My reads: Akimo - Elim leaning, bc randomly picking someone to vote tends to be a reaction from an new elim placed in the hot seat in my experience (my experience - being elim my first game and randomly picking a ton of people). HoidSlayer seems to be reducing fog of war, so tempted to lean village for him, but he's experienced enough that his messages shouldn't be too different as an elim. Is starting a spy network, can't tell if that's just out of excitement for having time to play a ton (which is what i'm getting) or elim. Doc did start a massive spy network as elim last game, and found Hoid through it unless I'm mistaken, but that was a very different situation Sart - Seems to be trying to make us rethink our tactics. Either an elim trying to spread chaos / divert attention away from other elims, or a villager worried we'll lose. If the first: Not much we can draw from that other than elim. If the second: well what I would draw from that if I weren't me is that they were trying to start a rival train from something, but there's no trains that they'd be trying to start from other than mine and I can eliminate that possiblity. So either elim trying to spread chaos or villager trying to genuinely solve. Has anyone played any games with Sart who knows their elim style? Dplos - Leaning village, can't tell if that's bias though bc I want them to be village. I ran a game recently where they were village and this feels like v!Dplos, but I've never seen e!Dplos so I don't really know. (Can't give any justification here unfortunately - just vibes) Iced, Worldhopper, Coder, Ksauce - don't have enough information, say stuff please (Iced, Worldhopper, Coder, I know you've said stuff, but say more pls) Going to vote Akimo for now, bc I don't have a better lead edit: Whelp, got ninja'd by Iced's post. Read on Iced: Seems to be coming out swinging. From my memory of the purelake game, he was suspicious of CD for a while before voting, and didn't really pokevote at all to my recollection. So mild elim read there just bc of difference in playstyle

    No reaction bc I was offline when this train somehow formed from the ether... It's the school year and I had extracurriculars + homework. Yeah that's a fair point I guess. I'm... bad with D1's (first one I was elim and on a road trip, second one was a MESS). Thank you for the advice! I'll do reads at the end of the post, just want to help my friend out bc I should've explained far more about this to him when he signed up. Yeah the flavortext refers to the situation at the start of the second Mistborn book. It's... kind of complicated to explain without context, and PARTICULARLY without spoilers. If you don't care about spoilers ig open the spoiler box (for the record you should read Mistborn though pretty please) Sending this now bc HoidSlayer asked for my comments, will edit in my reads in a second.

    Rushu?

    I start waving Nightblood around wildly trying to have it eat the Shades, then realize I can't Elsegate to the Cognitive Realm while holding it. Would Nightblood be able to eat the Shades?

    Spoilers for WB Or (Spoilers for WaT)
  15. Ookla the Newt
    I use a duralumin fueled push / pull thingy like what Marsh does in TLM to break Maw 5 apart, then grab the sandwich and start running
  16. Ookla the Newt
    Well that's... random. Well I suppose all poke votes are. Not rly going to poke vote bc I've never seen it be particularly helpful. FYI @dplostthegame someone's poke voting you LOLLLL. Lord Your Mistakes sounds like Tindwyl I'll do some rp later, but for now just going to do what little analysis I can. Leaning village for HoidSlayer bc he's being very eager about the game in a way I haven't seen elims be in the past. Not sure what else I can draw from anything tbh. Yay for D1!

    How are there 27 pages of hidden messages How do you even hide a message?
  18. Ookla the Newt
    Hi, welcome to the Shard! If you could live on any world on the Cosmere which would you live on?
  19. Ookla the Newt
    Some sections of the forums (like this!) don't up post count
  20. Ookla the Newt
    Prob won't have my third one for a while, barely avoiding breaking my second one
  21. Ookla the Newt
    Yessss that and windrunner are so gooddddd Don't like survivor quite as much for the stupidest of reasons - it's very very good, except the fact that kelsier is pronounced kelsi-ay throws me off even though I know that's how it's canonically pronounced bc I cannot make by brain pronounce it that way for the life of me yes. yes it is. seminary is the cause of my sleep problems, ignore the fact that I stay up until 1 am at the earliest, me not getting enough sleep is seminary's fault LUCKYYYY

    I was looking through the mafia games on that and literally found someone with a mistborn pfp completely randomly, so might work for some... Also wow I get off the shard for one weekend and I get like 100 notifications when I get back If you want me to explain anything to you I can Will edit in responses to other pages in a sec, scared to go to other pages of the thread without sending this bc like 90% of the time the message vanishes into the void Edit: *guilty expression* totally not procrastinating right now, why would you ever think that Rly do need to resume reading that, also why is Coder so ridiculously effective at getting people to read books. I've asked so many people to read Mistborn, and literally bribed my sister to read Stormlight. I have been successful with only 1 person.
  23. Ookla the Newt
    There would be 20 players? Wow that's a lot of people I hope it isn't slowing down, but... yeah that sounds like it is
  24. Ookla the Newt
    All the instruments in the world disappearing along with your vocal cords

    What I got on the quiz about my current attributes: Truthwatcher What I got on the quiz about what I want to be like: Windrunner What I actually think would help me: Elsecaller (and kinda Dustbringer but with the purpose of reaching my potential so I'll go with Elsecaller) So: Life Before Death. Strength Before Weakness. Journey Before Destination. And my second oath (of the Elsecallers): I will reach my potential by controlling my impulses. (translation: yay brain that decides to look for procrastination lord of the rings memes instead of, you know, not procrastinating) (that oath is going to be HARD)
