Myst

Kieran trailed behind the rest of the group. They seemed to have stopped at the temple, near the entrance. He snorted, you never wanted to go though the entrance of these things, you might as well announce your presence with a marching band if you were gonna do that. Kieran sneaked around the side, looking for other entrances. He’d surprisingly never been here before during his adventuring days. But maybe that was a good thing, it meant he wouldn’t be confused by anything that would’ve changed.

Okay, I agree with Archer that we should vote someone relatively not active. And so far there’s a train on Haelbarde Okay. So considering I think we’ve already voted an Elim, I think a trust circle is out of the question right now, and strategizing in the dead doc is also gone. That really only means we need to vote Villagers(I believe Wonko already said this, and I agree) I do think we should keep active people here as well, (I.e. not killing Wonko, Archer, Stick, Doc, and maybe Dive) to continue the conversation, but I can see the value in getting someone into the dead doc like that. For now I’m going to go with TUM with archer. Im not sure on his alingment, but I’m leaning village, and he’s right about his rupees, getting exed would reset it, and if he is village, that’s what we want to do as well. I am not completely sure about alignment though, but it wouldn’t hurt to exe and extra elim(I don’t think)

I will explain next loop, I’ll throw in some stuff on Doc as well(depending on Wonko’s answer, though Doc, if you see it, you can answer it as well) plus maybe some other stuff depending on what happens between now and then

Don’t worry, no one’s going to say they already did this, all I’m going to say is that loop 2 onwards we have to exe 2 Elims to win those ones, so having a confirmed Elim would make it easier, but it wouldn’t confirm a win

*Remembers RP* Kieran sharpened his short sword, someone was shouting in the difference. He didn’t listen. It had been chaos back there. His shoulder still hurt from when he fell, plus he still didn’t like whatever had been watching him. The scrap of the stone on the sword calmed him. It was rhythmic, familiar. He hadn’t needed to do it for a bit. Unfortunately he was snapped out of his thoughts by the shouting getting closer, listening, Kieran could make out the words. Something about a mission to Woodfall? “I suppose I should do that”

Did you get Doc’s PM today? Or last Night(yes, this is important, it determines whether I trust him or not)

I’d prefer not to be exed today, but it’s alright if I do. As for getting cleared, that entirety depends on Ash and Wahr being Village, which I don’t think is the case. That said, I believe we’ve gotten a Elim, so I’m alright with being voted out if you need to exe someone outspoken. I don’t believe I’ve actually voted yet, so I’m gonna go analyze and I’ll be back later

For you I was waiting, you’ll get your actual one tonight. As for everyone else, it’s a matter of trust. Also, I only need to give a code if there’s something I need to hear your feedback on day of. With Archer I needed a response today, rather than when PMs are sent. Also, yeah, you could see through it, but others couldn’t. Burnt thought it was about me not PMing her. Idk the skill lvl of the Elims, so I’m being cautious Also, solving socially is hard in this game, I’m having to to go mechanical. There’s about 2 people I am 99% sure right now aren’t Elims(aside from myself) and one of those I got from logic and Game mechanics.

Okay, sorry I haven’t been on. Yall are discussing Ash right now, I’ll put my thoughts in a sec Alright.. that makes sense. It just seems off when you ask a question, someone answers it, and then you never go back to it. That said, I also usually keep track of everything in my head as well, so I’ll move on for now. Now, as for my thoughts in Ash. I do agree that exeing a not very active Elim does make sense from a rupee standpoint, but I will say that a E!Ash would mean they decided to lose loop 1. Which doesn’t make sense with the lack of NK n1. Now, it is possible they switched, but doing so gives us more info. I am considering a E!Wahr and E!Ash team though it’s quite a shift in playstyle now from then. And experience does have a role, he was not this self-focused that game. As such, I think what happen is that we exed an Elim, and they Exed another Elim(Ashbringer) in hopes that when we see that we won, we assume only one of the people dead is an Elim, not two.

Thought I was correct with the third. Seems I read wrong. I have one more chance Currently I’m actually leaning Dive. He wanted to vote for someone who wasn’t on a team with Wahr, but said he didn’t know who - fishing for our knowledge He keeps asking a lot of questions as well, which isn’t alignment indicative, but he’s not then responding to the answers of those questions. It’s not a lot, but it’s more than what I have on Doc.

Okay, so I think we can reasonably say Ashbringer is not Elim. If he is, the Elims are doing a very weird Strat. Edit: Burnt to None I missed @Archer

Kieran pulled himself off the ground, frantically searching his surroundings, he knew he heard something… he just didn’t know what… ”Is anyone there? Anyone!?” No response came. He grabbed his short sword - it had fallen to the side as Del fell - unsheathing it as well. He brandished it around. This was legitimately scary “Im sure its just someone lost as well” he said unconvincingly

Kieran tripped, a jagged rock seemingly from out of nowhere bringing him down. He hissed with pain, biting his tongue to keep the noise down. “Hssss, ow, ow!” Kieran hauled himself up, he’d been distracted, he thought he had heard something “Must’ve been the wind”

Oh yeah, I need RP, I have like, one RP post right now. Kieran wandered around the place. “Where did everyone go? I’d swear they were here a bit ago… He carefully stepped around, trying not to trip as he navigated the place. What food he’d found could barely be called edible, “I must be losing my touch” after all, only a few years ago he would’ve thrived in this situation. ”But… I suppose there are trade offs when you switch to stalking the adventurer rather than doing it yourself”

Okay… I see. I’m going to have to think about this, but not right now. Also, agreed, TJ showing up is very interesting. And he voted for a train

That’s fair. Out of the other four who voted for him. Id say Araris isn’t Elim, as he voted first. Coco voted after me, tieing (After some vote changes Hoidslayer made it so Wahr was being exed) then TJ voted, then Coder. Out of those, TJ, Coder and Hoid slayer are the most suspicious there, as they voted after the exe was majority(or in Hoids case, made it a majority because he didn’t trust his vote) I do not have enough of a read on any of them to definitively say though. I know there was a bit of a thing on Hoid Slayer. And once I know more about that I’ll reevaluate

Okay, I think I understand the rollover chaos now. @Archer @Doc12 yall mind summarizing the Hoid Votes for me? From what I could tell it was mostly because he wasn’t being remotely helpful plus he was acting like the Andor Game. ——— Kieran speared a small wriggling thing. “it’s not much, but hopefully it’ll be a bit tasty” It wasn’t. As Kieran slowly roasted it over a small fire, it kept giving off this weird smell. Not bad enough to vomit, but enough for discomfort. After the meat was cooked, Kieran took a bite, and immediately spit it out, coughing. “I.. Am never eating that… Thing… Ever again” “I should meet back up with the others, maybe they’ll have found something edible”

Okay, despite checking in twice before rollover to see what was happening, I have no idea what happened. I’m gonna go review that. And be back with some thoughts

You see, just be the person other people are analyzing, and then you don’t have to. But good luck, I’d like to hear your insights later. As it is right now, it seems Wahr is going to be exed. I feel confident about it, and I want to see how the Elims react to it, as they kind of already committed to winning loop 1. Hopefully too much doesn’t change before rollover

I won’t be on for rollover… for there’s not way I’ll be able to control that chaos. Also, you are aware that this means that Wahr is getting exed right now? Actually, I’m good with that. I want to see how he responds Edit: Wahr, I see you lurking

You’re not helping your case here. I vote you, and you vote me, even though you say it’s not retaliation. Also, if you’re not an Elim, and you’re a villager, why would it matter that you’re one of the 4 that could be an Elim? Why are you so concerned about that? You are right, I don’t know enough of your playstyle to make a judgement there, and I admitted that as such. I am making a big deal of your retaliation vote, because I think it is one. Also, what does going for a mask say about your alignment? I feel like this is another overreaction from you, and actually furthers my opinion you are Elim. I think you’re flailing, trying to push suspicion on me, since I’m the reason you’re being voted. If you do want to know why I trust archer, it’s because of the lack of NK yet he volunteered to be exed. Edit: literally, your reason for voting me is because I think you’re Elim plus I’m active. Please explain how that’s not retaliation. You said it was partly because I was suspicious of you

You mentioned the vote on archer, but theirs is more to it. I will fully admit a vibes part of me is suspicious as well, this is quite different from your playstyle last game, and either you’re being coached, or you are taking this game really seriously(and I’m learning against that due to the retaliation vote.) For other examples, though, I do not like your vote on ashbringer. Not that choosing to vote him was a bad idea, but your reasoning for moving off Ashbringer is what concerns me. You voted him because he was posting, but only rp, and you moved off him because he was busy irl. Which on the surface makes sense, except that you didn’t vote him because of activity to begin with, it was because of his only Rp, yet you don’t mention that. You've been weirdly defensive today as well, assuming that because someone is voting you, you must immediately get them to take it off. - Elim behavior. Also, you are vastly underestimating what the retaliation votes mean. There was no reason for you to vote archer for his vote on you. It wasn’t targeting, and you weren’t in any danger of getting voted out. And even if you were, death’s temporary in this loop, it wouldn’t have mattered unless you were Elim. That’s not how it works, sadly, we don’t know if we’ve exed an Elim till the end of the loop, and the loop continues after we’ve exed an Elim. The days in a loop are set, we have to find Elims and exe them in that day, but it’ll be hard to tell who’s Elim. VC: Wonko (1): Dive Archer (3): Wonko, Coder, Hoid Hael (1): Archer Wahr (2): Mistfallen, Araris

First off, welcome @Stick. glad to see you. Also, I’m getting more suspicious of Wahr, he is consistently making weird/elim-y moves, and then backing off as soon as he’s questioned, so Wahr for now, I’ll make a VC as soon as someone posts.

Oh, my bad. Yeah, the other game me and Stick were the people controlling the thread. He was basically our fail-safe. We could exe him if we needed to, and he wouldn’t die. Though that was due to his role. But yeah, I would say he is less active this game, but it is pretty similar. You are right, he normally wouldn’t have gone silent, so we should probably wait for another post from him before ultimately deciding

Oh yeah, you weren’t there for that game. Same thing I did the other game, deepwolfing, trying to gain people’s trust, giving slightly off reads. I mean, if you want, you can think I’m deepwolfing right now, but, due to the nature of deepwolfing, you don’t know when I am or am not until later in the game. However, It’s unlikely I’d be Elim two games in a row. Not really much I can explain though, Stick knew how to tell, but beyond that, idk.
