Myst

So. Mippo, I am a bit concerned on the lack of Ravenclaw right now. Using a bit of profile stalking, all of them have been on today. Most in the last hour. Which means there’s a least some talk going on in the Ravenclaw PM. But you’re the only one that’s posted in thread so far.

I’m good for the friendship. Extra credit depends on the chess match. And I’d prefer to not die and I’d like to be able to PM.

I was White Our game of wizard chess has concluded. It was scripted to begin with

So…. Yall, me and Ver’s Pm is 5 pages. Why is ours longer than the actual thread?

Chess.com wasn’t working for Ver. Besides, how else were we supposed to decide who our prefect is?

What? You’re not playing chess move by move because one of you is playing online and the other using a physical chessboard?

Trance studied the board. The pieces chattering. He saw the move. His queen flew across the board. The Queen shouted in exhilaration, “haha, We took the Queen! Wait—“ before dying off in realization. Orry captured Trance’s Queen. ”Oh” Trance said, he hadn’t seen that

It’s turned out well. I’m glad I’m in a PM with Ver.

Yes, Elim PMs were probably sent D0, as per the write up. But we don’t know when during D0. That means no one had any idea of their alignment till Archer said the Elim PMs were all sent at the beginning of D1. Or they got an Elim PM. Everyone got a PM before D0, no one was sure of their alignment till D1 though Edit: idk if I’m even responding to the right thing. I’m gonna do chess with Ver. We’ll see who wins

Trance looks at the pieces. Maybe listening to them wasn’t the best idea. He tries to block the pawn, freeing his queen. Pawn to e4 This is gonna get really complicated if we miss a move lol

Wait. Actually? I’ll get my own. Gimme a sec. But notation that would be knight to H3 Edit: if we’re doing the actual moves, we might want to do this in the house PM and do rp updates here

Trance took his knight, moving it towards the middle. ”No! Not there!” The knight shouted, the centers for babies” Trance moved the knight to the other space instead. In that case we just hard cleared two people. But I don’t think that’s the case, as those PMs were sent only a bit before sign-ups closed

I’m willing to V!read Ver as well, because if one of us is Elim, the other is getting manipulated. It’s basically a 1 on 1 PM right now What about Ravenclaw? Opinions there?

Trance shrugged, “I mean… sure… I’m not doing anything else right now.” He pulled the chess set over to a table. “I may not know much about wizard chess, but white should still be the best” The pieces started chattering as soon as Trance started setting it all up. Ah! A new kid” “Put me in, I’ll take that King!” ”So… I’m not lasting last turn 4…” Luckily Trance didn’t drop the pieces. And he finished. “Ready?” He called to Orry.

Yeah, I believe I said something about that earlier. Something along the lines of that it was just random chance. Cause we had no choice. And just going by that(plus my other thing of only having 3 Elims) there’s a least one in Slytherin, potentially 2, and one in either Gryffindor/Ravenclaw. I am clearing both myself and Ver, he was almost ready to let me be prefect.

That might have been me miss-understanding No, everyone didn’t know their alignments while picking houses. If you look at the PM we all got, it says that that were village unless told otherwise. None of us could have known our real alignments until either A. Getting a PM from Archer saying that we’re actually Elim B. The Day starting and Archer announcing the Elim PMs were sent out without getting one. Until either of those things happened, none of us had any way to know what our alignment actually was.

The numbers of Slytherin and Ravenclaw cannot exist if one or more of the people in them chose the house with the least amount of people As for changing houses based on alignment. We couldn’t have chosen houses before D0 meaning anything before that was just speculation. Sure you could have followed through with it, but there was no guarantee. And I though you said you changed houses based on alignment, not because people went to Slytherin Edit: and if you did change your house based on alignment, how did being village make you go from Slytherin to (Edit: Gryffindor)

So… everyone got village PMs before D0. The only way for you to change your house based on alignment is if you got a PM from Archer during D0. That could only be the case if you were Elim. Otherwise you would’ve gotten your alignment before you had the chance to claim. And you wouldn’t have known for certain that you were village until D1 started, after Archer announced he had sent out the Elim PMs. ———— So, on to my own House house reasonings. All of Slytherin and Ravenclaw chose those houses. Guaranteed If that were not the case, the people who hadn’t chosen a house would’ve immediately gone to Hufflepuff(since we have two members(it’s making for surprisingly interesting prefect voting)) That means that Gryffindor and Hufflepuff got the people who didn’t clam a house. I did claim hufflepuff(you can check, I said I would after Doc and Coco wanted me to) 8 Pm EST(idk if that’s the correct format) or 0 utc.

The numbers don’t make sense. In order for Slytherin to have a majority, all 8 people had to have chosen Slytherin. Otherwise the people would’ve gotten shoved to Hufflepuff edit the same is true for Ravenclaw. All 4 people chose it, otherwise Hufflepuff would have 3 Edit 2: also, Aman, you slipped up. I’ll explain once someone else posts

1: 3, I got it from the rules change. spoilers for length/font And for the second, no. All of Slytherin seemed to be a choice. And we decided houses before alignments, so I think it’s just an odds thing.

It is me and one other person. That probably means three-4 people picked smallest(I chose Hufflepuff) and you got the extra person

Anyone feel like sharing house numbers? We’ve got two people in Hufflepuff

Oh yeah, I can roleplay the sorting. I think I’m bashing Trance more than any of yall have yet. - - - - - - - - Trance sat down on the stool, hands shaking. He really hoped it went well. His hands tightened, as the Hat spoke. ”Hmm… Interesting… Trance Vigon… Your quite interesting. You had potential for Gryffindor, you could fit in there, but you lack the spine, the determination. Perhaps you’ll gain it soon enough, but Gryffindor is for those who have courage, not for those who need to find it. As for Hufflepuff… how do I put this nicely…. You won’t outshine any of your classmates, so there’s a safe bet. A rather sharp mind, Ravenclaw would fit you….” The Sorting Hat laughed dismissively, “If you stopped overthinking things, that is. Yes, you could be brilliant, but you overthink the simplest things. How would advance wizard-kind if you can’t even get past a conversation? Slytherin… good old Slytherin. Quite a few people here have that potential, the scheming alone would qualify them. But that’s them, not you. I doubt you could pull off a cape either. If you could… none of the other houses would appreciate it… but you could never, so that’s that.” Trance shivered, if he didn’t fit any of them…. ”Now now, don’t get nervous, we’ve got places for people like you.” The Hat said before shouting out, “Hufflepuff” Trance sighed in relief The sorting hat whispered one more thing before McGonnagal took it off his head. “Oh, and remember, my underachieving friend: don’t let the Slytherins bully you too much”

That or ravenclaw considering the amount of analysis and reads that happen.

Alright, give me a sec to PM archer
