LG112 - Metacycle Seven: And Another One
Araris Valerian replied to The Unknown Medallion's topic in Sanderson Elimination
I mean, I am clearly the best choice for a last-minute elim conversion , but we should definitely determine between xino and Lettuce here before hunting the convert. In a large part because if the elims know who we are considering as a likely convert, they can factor that into their NK. Did anyone have PMs with xino or Lettuce? Right now all we really have to work with is mechanical, since neither of them has posted anything of substance the whole game. Neither of them claimed to be in any of my shardworld docs. -

If we’re in the MCU then I’m probably the Stan Lee cameo yelling at some kid. -

I suppose Lettuce has actually been less active than xino. So she might fit the missed elim kill better than xino would. I don’t think the distro argument is that strong, since your existence means the elims getting a second coinshot is risky. I don’t think the pseudogame needed to be balanced. It just needed to have the potential to reveal the meta-elims if they pursued their side of the bet too aggressively (which ended up happening). Edit: @The Unknown Medallion Lettuce hasn’t posted since June 9 and hasn’t been on the Shard since June 12. Is the filter going to trigger on her? -

I’m not sure that last part is true. xino has only posted 5 times this game, most recently in metacycle 4, which was almost a week ago. I don’t think we should make a judgement calls based on whether he would/wouldn’t have taken an action. -

So we’re looking for the pseudo-elim mole now, who seems most likely to be xino. If there is a 5th original elim, I’d guess them to be one of Kit Kat or Lettuce, since neither of them was really active the turn the NK was skipped. On the flip side, I find it rather unlikely that either of those two would be converted, mostly out of concerns for activity. Speaking of the conversion, I doubt Qian left it in xino’s hands, so we can be reasonably certain that someone has been converted by now. It may be worth holding further thoughts on the topic so as to not help the elims pick a NK target, so I’ll leave off further speculation for now. -
I think the LG is due to wrap up by the 26th at the latest, possibly sooner, so we should sort out the next MR. Right now we have: @StrikerEZ @Kasimir @Archer @Aeoryi @DrakeMarshall me In the first 10 slots, with several repeats. My game needs some significant tweaking, so if everyone ahead of me is busy it would be good to know sooner rather than later.

Why does no kill mean there was a conversion? Back when I was asking for clarifications, the conversion didn’t take an action, which I’d assume means it doesn’t conflict with the NK. @The Unknown Medallion could you confirm? If this is right, I’d assume that the Elims are inactive to a large degree (not really new info, TBH).
