    I forgot about the shard bc school, was looking up things about feruchemical speed for a hunger-games-with-magic thing me and my friends are making (loooooong story), and came across this. I love the show andor so bad, so yeah definitely signing up. Also I want to be on the shard more and this'll encourage me to. I'll join as... Reka Wismil.
  2. Ookla the Newt
    Probably Devotion if that option's still open
  3. Ookla the Newt
    I'm going to have to wait on signing up for like a week and a half, I'm worried about my workload for the school year and want to see how heavy it is before I commit to anything (particularly a Shard)

    1. My dad had read Mistborn, Stormlight Archives bc Sanderson finished wheel of time and gave me Mistborn at a... disturbingly young age bc he forgot there's a lot of stuff in there an 8 and a half year old should not be reading, but I still loved it. I also had read The Rithmatist when I was a younger 8 (that one was bc of a barnes and noble employee). I read Stormlight about 2 years later, and my major Sanderson obsession started halfway through 8th grade (wow almost 2 years ago now) and that's when I read the rest of Sanderson's books. 2. I don't remember how honestly, just that I came across it halfway through 8th grade and lurked for like a year and a half before I finally got permission to make an account like 2 weeks ago 3. A weird pun based on the fact that I got the nickname Newt at a summer camp, and I couldn't come up with anything, so I figured I'm a bookworm, except my nickname was Newt (still not sure why my nickname was Newt), so I'm a booknewt

    Okay, I came across this like a year ago, and just found it again. (yes I know it's really, really old.) But this is honestly so beautifully written (also I wanted to put something here bc I had to search for like 15 minutes to find it and don't want to have to do that again) Like, seriously. This is amazing.
  6. Ookla the Newt
    Yeah, that's essentially me right now. I somehow read it in a single day (still not sure how - I basically hyperfocused on reading, and never got up from the spot on the floor I was sitting on from 6 pm to 3 am). I barely remember like half of it though (I don't remember (spoilers) So I really want to reread it, and even had it open yesterday, but for some reason I haven't actually reread it.
  7. Ookla the Newt
    Could you add me? Thanks!
  8. Ookla the Newt
    @TwinStorm I just noticed your rank is a Twinborn... Very fitting.
  9. Ookla the Newt
    Could I be added? Thanks! (I don't have discord either)

    @TwinStorm @KaladinsSenseOfHumorSpren Congrats to both of you, really enjoyed this game and being your co-conspirator. @Aeoryi Thank you for running the game, I know it must have taken a lot of work and trawling through threads for votes, so much appreciated. @Askthepizzaguy Sorry for getting a tad heated yesterday, and I really appreciated you remaining level-headed the whole time. (Also the mass rp posts were rly great, I got a chance to read through them yesterday for the first time and they were rly good) @Aeternum Thanks for being patient with mine and Coder's questions about abbreviations and such. All of you were really great to play with, hopefully I can play again sometime! (Pref not from a car though next time) But yeah, this was a great first game, rly enjoyed it, particularly C3 once I had a hang of things Anniversary game I think, in the signup thread someone mentioned it's basically rp for the first 2 rounds.
  11. Ookla the Newt
    Okay, if I want to join the rp, do I have to read 90 pages of lore or is the lore blog Coder sent enough? I can if ppl think I should, but wondering if there's speciific places I should look.

    Name: Ilyiai (nicknamed Ila) Age: 23-ish Gender: Female Background: Was a merchant as part of a merchant's caravan. Why they were enslaved: Fell into debt (is that too repetitive? I can come up with something else) Personality: Short tempered, stubborn, but very loyal to those she trusts. Fully open to suggestions for improvements, this'll be my first actual rp (depends on whether you count SE)
  13. Ookla the Newt
    Trying to come up with something good that hasn't already been done, I'll have something in 15 minutes approx
  14. Ookla the Newt
    This exists!?! YESSSS (yeah I'm bored while waiting for the cycle to end in SE and looking back to see what threads there are. Favorite sketches: Lord of the Potter, the one where Jason goes insane making his ring tone, Christmas Cards, Kyle's Ride Along, A Crushing Valentine's Day (I don't know WHY I like that one so much). Oddly I don't like Scott Sterling sketches much. (I know, very unpopular opinion.)
  15. Ookla the Newt
    All right, I get that. What's v/v and e/e? (Sorry I'm asking about so many abbreviations) Also, until he shows up to explain what I pointed out: I'm voting Striker. Iced seems too obvious to be elim, quite frankly. Almost feels too easy (also I don't like voting on trains much.) Very subject to change though, this is possibly just going to be a poke vote. So 2 hours before, the voting stands at (correct me if I'm wrong on any of this): Aeternum: IcedPenguin (1) IcedPenguin: CD, TwinStorm, Starseeker, Striker (4) Booknewt: Pizzaguy (1) Striker: Booknewt (1) Yet to vote: Aeternum, KelsierApologist. Yet to post: KelsierApologist
  16. Ookla the Newt
    True
  17. Ookla the Newt
    Okay, I've gone from Spearman to Bridgeman to Noble-Blooded. These ranks are jumping around a tad. Also (SA spoilers)
  18. Ookla the Newt
    Okay, updated reads (aka the reads where I go a bit too deep into wine-in-front-of-you): I'm like 85% sure that Penguin's elim, not sure how he can be town at this point. Bc... yeah that was not at all a helpful defense, to the point that it's more incriminating than anything else. Then again, if he was elim maybe he'd be more defensive, so maybe he's too elim-y to be the elim. Prob more like 60% actually. So I'll wait to vote until @StrikerEZ says his rational. (bc Striker's my other good read). Additional Reads: (hesitant to say for certain many people are positive, hence the "leaning" for positive ones until an elim's found bc then it gets a lot clearer) Aeternum: Leaning positive, however I want to hear more about what he thinks during this cycle. Mainly leaning positive bc Penguin's been solidly against Aeternum this cycle, and everyone he's been against is either in my certainly positive category or has been proven town. In a world where Aeternum's elim, then either Penguin is town, or it was a planned action in the hopes it would clear Aeternum if Penguin was voted out. I might be reading too deep there though. TwinStorm: Leaning slightly elim, but like Pizza said (came to this conclusion independently though) very dependent on other readings. I don't think him and Aeternum are the same alignment - TwinStorm's been decently anti-Aeternum - unless it's meant as a diversion tactic. In a world where TwinStorm's elim - given he voted Aeternum that means that Aeternum's either town, or it was a hope that a train wouldn't pile onto it and trying to space out elims and such, and Aeternum's elim. In a world where he's town, then too much can't be read into that though. Similarly, he's been consistently anti-Penguin, so about the same conclusion but sub Penguin in for Aeternum (don't really want to type all that out again.) KelsierApologist: I have no clue. Been radio silent since Cycle 1, but there's no point in voting a person who's about to get hit by inactivity filter, soooo yeah. If town, is just busy, if elim, is prob trying to either increase fog of war, go under the cover, or let us go at each others throats, but Striker said that he suspects Kelsier, so if Kelsier's elim, then Striker isn't, and vice versa. Unless the elim team thought that ppl'd think that. @KelsierApologist, what's your perspective on recent stuff? Edit: Since I finished my reads, I have time to type up some rp (in italics to distinguish) (this is prob real bad bc it's basically off the top of my head): Booknewt looked around, scanning all those on the shores of the Purelake. She couldn't let herself be wrong again. Not after what had happened the night before. She had panicked. And it had cost Wishikk. Someone had killed Seth and Javert, though. Someone among the group's number was false. And she had to make a decision on who she thought it was. Not yet, though. Not yet. Edit 2: Wow this is dead for 2 hours before the cycle ends
  19. Ookla the Newt
    Prob email Dragonsteel is my guess Edit: Contact us leads to a "submit a ticket" page. I'll see if I can find an email Edit 2: Yesss I found something.
  20. Ookla the Newt
    Could... you give something more than 1-3 word posts?
  21. Ookla the Newt
    Okay, this is my count of votes so far, correct me if I'm wrong. Aeternum: IcedPenguin (1) IcedPenguin: CD, TwinStorm, Starseeker, Striker (4) Booknewt: Pizzaguy (1) Still working on reads, however I'm wondering what people's reasoning is towards IcedPenguin (which... prob makes me look guilty given people saying that if Penguin's elim I am, but still curious what people's reasoning is). Kinda getting a wolfy read on him, bc he is randomly popping up with votes and nothing else today, and he was online an hour ago, but I want to hear both his reasoning and what people's reasoning is against him before I vote. Pretty certain Pizzaguy's town. There is no reason for an elim to be drawing attention so much by refusing to vote, and he's been lifting fog-of-war. In a world where he is elim: he is an amazing elim, and I have no idea what that world would mean frankly. I'd say I was leaning elim on Striker, but my rational would sound decidedly hypocritical, soooo yeah. The non-hypocritical portion: Kinda voting for who people suspected a lot - People were suspecting Penguin, then he voted Penguin, people (okay mainly PizzaGuy at that point) were suspecting me (which made sense honestly, I don't have a grudge about that) and he voted me, but then CD backed away from suspecting me and Pizzaguy did somewhat, and he switched back to Penguin. Similarly, yesterday lots of people were voting HoidSlayer and he voted HoidSlayer. CD: Leaning town on him. Not sure why - might be slight bias bc he's the main person here I've talked to a lot outside of SE, but still leaning town. Partially bc he's new as well. Still working though him fully though. Those are the reads I've got so far, still working through TwinStorm, Aeternum, Starseeker, and KelsierApologist. I'll prob have those in 20-30 minutes. So ig right now my elim candidates are HoidSlayer and Striker, along with a third unknown person. Not going to vote for now until I hear people's responses to those though, and until I finish working through my reads. Also abbreviations I don't understand: LyLo, dome.
  22. Ookla the Newt
    Yeah, I can absolutely do that. I can also start looking into Unity C# if people want, I pick up programming languages pretty fast.
  23. Ookla the Newt
    Okay, thanks!
  24. Ookla the Newt
    All right. Sorry again that I jumped to conclusions about what your accusation is based on. I'm making a log of literally every significant thing that's happened so far, so my reads might be a while
  25. Ookla the Newt
    Okay, sorry if that was a bit aggressive. Just kinda frustrated. I get that you weren't arguing that I was an elim based on my being new, just that a lot of the stuff that you were casing me on was due to my being new. (should've been clearer about that) The argument about my posts being hedgy is fair, and honestly a lot of my approach during the first few days was similar to what an elim would be doing - trying to get to the next day. I can agree to these terms. Note, however, I was not accusing you of accusing me based on being new, but saying that what you were arguing was due to my being new.
