    @StrikerEZ I'm pretty sure I voted during 2 separate posts during the day turn, in addition to 2 social type posts, and 1 tonight not counting this one.
  2. Araris Valerian
    I object. Devotary was pretty much always the other candidate for the lynch.
  3. Araris Valerian
    I guess you'll never know until you try.
  4. Araris Valerian
    Eh, dying isn't that bad. You get used to it after it happens a few times.
  5. Araris Valerian
    By former I assume you mean last-second distancing rather than village!Fura.
  6. Araris Valerian
    Usually, one PM per turn means an elim wouldn't want to waste it on someone who died. In this game, it's a bit more likely, as a Tineye could scan you and see that you were in contact with Aman before he died, and you also told people that you had sent Aman a PM N1. One lost PM isn't too much of a price to pay if you can point to that as evidence for why you didn't kill Aman. Attempting to kill a village!Aman for a role is also possible, but would be rather hasty. I don't know the exact timing of this PM, but it's also worth mentioning that elim kills are often not decided on until near the end of the cycle, so someone could have started a PM with Aman and then decide to target him later.

    I find this bit of Fura's post to be rather suspicious, especially the bit about the elim team composition. I'm hesitant to make a call on Fifth's PM role trade, but that whole interaction makes me think that one of Fifth/Fura is more likely to be elim. I'm sad that Sart @Sart and @xinoehp512 haven't chimed in at all, but I think it makes more sense for me to vote on Fura now. I don't have any sort of elim read on Devotary. (this post in in response to Fifth pinging me about Fura and Aman) I don't really have time to do analysis of Aman right now, but I don't think he stands out too much to me. Just normal Aman stuff.

    I don't really have strong feelings for anyone up for the lynch right now. I don't agree with Stick's assessment of Fura, but also don't think it is out of character for Stick. However, I find it hard to believe that no elims have voted at all this cycle. I've already made my mild suspicion of Drake known, so I'll look somewhere else since I've tended to vote very singlemindedly the last few games I've been in. @Sart Sart, do you have further thoughts in response to Devotary? Also, @xinoehp512, consider this a non-lethal poke vote. Who would you lynch right now? You've been asking about vote tallies but have yet to give us anything substantial to work with.

    I honestly don't have too much to contribute right now. I'm usually fairly silent during night cycles. I did mention in a PM, and it's worth saying here, that I think there is a very low likelihood that Ark was lynched because of his role. Basically I have no extra distrust of Drake or Ventyl from that lynch.
  10. Araris Valerian
    I’m going to vote on Drake for now. I’m tired now, and might reconsider tomorrow morning, but something seems off in the elimination process he is using. I’m also not sure about the rng vote removal, because it could both be an honest village suggestion or a way to distance with lower risk.

    This was a fun game to watch despite my early demise. The writeups were very well done, and player activity was pretty good as well. Many thanks to Fifth for GMing, Joe for trolling, and everyone else for having a good time!
  12. Araris Valerian
    Sounds like fun, I'll sign up as Fade. Quick clarification @StrikerEZ, do Mistborn have access to all 8 powers each cycle, or do they get a random one each cycle to use?
  13. Araris Valerian
    I think I'd like to try my hand at co-GMing as well. I've been around far too long to not have seen both sides of a game.
  14. Araris Valerian
    I'm not really sure I can disagree with anything that has been said against me. I am being stubborn, although it seems to have generated discussion, rather than kill it, as Straw suggests. Everything I've done makes sense to me, and I'm not sure any explanation I can give will help at this point. It would just be a long rambling post addressing random concerns people have that I don't think are justified. I think the only read I have is that Fura is village, but I haven't been taking notes so I can't find the post that made me think that. Fortunately, Hadrian has become relatively comfortable with being killed by mobs, and he is pretty embarrassed with how his ball turned out, so he's happy to step out for a while. Edit: Maybe one thing to think on is: If you were an elim, would you do the things I've been doing? If yes, go ahead and lynch me.
  15. Araris Valerian
    @Steeldancer Both groups have people that they will want to irrationally defend. That's the best way to find elims, and it should work for finding the Mistborn as well.
  16. Araris Valerian
    @Ark1002 I'm currently voting on Lumgol, not you.
  17. Araris Valerian
    I don't think this really means anything. Killing mistborn is what the village wants to do, and everyone wants to appear village regardless of alignment. Edit: However, I'm not trying to contradict my earlier post. I just think that suggesting the village go after the baddies is NAI or elim, rather than village.
  18. Araris Valerian
    @Randuir I'm trying to push a "elim and mistborn won't look that different in the thread" idea.
  19. Araris Valerian
    @Furamirionind, it is impossible to have reason behind a vote when nobody has done anything in the game. Furthermore, as Stink pointed out, "poke voting" is pointless. Players show up or they don't, regardless of who has poked them. Whoever we end up killing this cycle is going to be almost entirely random, despite what we may like to think. Someone definitely has to die every day cycle of the game, because of the game mechanics. I am just willing to do the dirty work, so to speak. My vote on Lumgol was because Lum suggested a goal without giving any strategy to achieve it. Saying something that sounds nice but doesn't really have any substance. My second sentence is basically saying that there isn't a predefined method of searching out mistborn vs elims (or an easy one, in my opinion), and in no way is condemning a response. I would say it's inviting one, although it is a bit aggressive. We are all here to kill each other, so I feel a little aggression is warranted.
  20. Araris Valerian
    Unless I'm very mistaken, the unstable Mistborn aren't really serial killers. They have (almost) the same win condition as the village, although the two are mutually exclusive, but the usual SK role has the goal of killing everyone.
  21. Araris Valerian
    @Lumgol How do you propose we specifically search for Mistborn as opposed to the eliminators? I think right now all we can really do is see who isn't village. Lumgol.
  22. Araris Valerian
    Fortunately there are ~48 hours for things to happen to cause my vote to move.
  23. Araris Valerian
    I like the pre-writeup, @Fifth Scholar. I'll open with a vote on Ark. To be clear, this is not a poke vote (mostly meaning it won't automatically get removed when @Ark1002 shows up), although it is subject to change. Gotta kill somebody today.

    Wol the messenger left Keep Venture on his way to continue delivering ball invitations for Lord Penrod. In addition to an invitation, Lord Penrod had sent to Elend a complaint against the record of Hadrian support Steeldancer's death, as it was plain to anyone who looked that Hadrian had done no such thing. As Wol stepped onto a main street, he bumped heavily into a hooded skaa man, sending him sprawling to the ground. "Sorry sir," Wol said as he reached to help the man up. Just then, he noticed a large pair of obsidian shears that had fallen out of the stranger's cloak. "Hmm. This reminds me of the time my great uncle Stewart tried to steal the axe off an Inquisitor. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately for him, he was nearly blind and instead grabbed the hat off a nearby skaa. Would you like a hand up?" He reached down to help the stranger up, but the man cursed at Wol, snatched at the shears, and scurried off around a corner. Bother, I didn't get to finish telling him about Stewart.

    Wow, we haven't even started and a shardblade is already out.
