Mid-Range Game 5: Competing Realities
Araris Valerian replied to Alvron's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Dangit, I wrote up a great post where Alvron removed you from the face of whatever place we are fighting at, and then my internet goofed on me. Anyway, I am going to vote for Winter for why I said last cycle and so that if I change my vote it has more of an effect.- 457 replies

Mid-Range Game 5: Competing Realities
Araris Valerian replied to Alvron's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Y'know Winter, your team isn't large enough to control the vote. (Cause 3-5 is less than half of the rest of us) Which mean that you are a) trolling, have enough people that agreed to vote with you that you don't need an explanation, c) don't care who is lynched, or d) looking for info from somebody that you can't get from a PM. I think most people probably know lots of alignments and so forth with Wilson and everyone that got killed for knowing things. But really, if you want to kill somebody, voting like that isn't a very good strategy, and beyond that I'm a little fed up with single word posts like yours. Expect my vote to change to you at some point today. Everyone: This game is going to get boring for us and for spectators if we don't DO things in the thread. I propose a lynch of Winter to spice things up again.- 457 replies

Araris Valerian replied to Alvron's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Well, I'm going to toss out a vote for Tulir, since he voted for Newan after having claimed to be on his team, not to mention that he did it in the last 10 minutes of the cycle. I don't think any of us want a traitorous player like that hanging around. At least Wilson is honestish with her info and what she plans to do with it.- 457 replies

Well, I'm still willing to lynch a Rithmatist, but I'm not super well informed, so a name would be helpful. I'm not too sure about Wilson, but I think that based on who votes for her we can see who has lots of info and who doesn't.- 457 replies

I'm going to restate my vote from last cycle, Renegade has claimed to be Rithmatist and that team is still up in players, assuming that all teams are equally distrubuted.- 457 replies

Mid-Range Game 5: Competing Realities
Araris Valerian replied to Alvron's topic in Sanderson Elimination
I'm kind of confused about what everyone is doing. Nobody seems to be coordinating as a team in the thread, nobody is trying to go after the winning team (rithmatist), and nobody was willing to trade a kill for some decent information. Am I just really inexperienced at this?- 457 replies

What, exactly, is the point in killing the serial killer? It seems that a) if we know his identity, he can't do too much to us and teams with fewer members would have a chance to come back later on if the SK is still alive.- 457 replies

Mid-Range Game 5: Competing Realities
Araris Valerian replied to Alvron's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Well, if we want the Geometry folk to snowball and win after a couple cycles then yeah, I'm a great lynch target. I unfortunately have no idea of who might actually be a rithmatist. Except Renegade. He said something about that in a group PM, which is really the best I've got.- 457 replies

I also felt that book two had some weird things going on with how Vin remembered Kelsier and how her whole character development went about. But she had a very different childhood experience than any of us, and lives in a different world from us, so I blame some of her thoughts on that. Book three is very satisfying as a conclusion to an overall good series. The endings get progressively better throughout the series, and book 3 has some very interesting character development in almost all of the remaining members of Kelsier's crew.

Mid-Range Game 5: Competing Realities
Araris Valerian replied to Alvron's topic in Sanderson Elimination
I don't see any reason for us to kill Odium... This game is all about betrayal and such anyways. But any info that Maill has had to have been given to him by somebody, so ultimately anything he knows about you is your own fault for not keeping it a secret. If you vote for him, he might just give away your secrets to spite you. But anyway. it doesn't look like we are going to kill Lu, so I'll switch onto Jain since there are plenty of people that know he isn't on their team.- 457 replies

What command would you give nightblood
Araris Valerian replied to High prince of geeks's topic in Warbreaker
What if Nightblood had been a hemalurgic spike when he was awakened? Say for the blessing of presence or something like that. If we awakened a blessing of presence and told it to "Think" we would probably get a much better philosopher than a regular piece of metal. -

Metals And Mists: Questions On Allomantic Fundamentals
Araris Valerian replied to Moogle's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Perhaps the effect of the mists is limited by your spiritweb. We have seen Vin draw in the mists, and since she could burn any metal, the power she received came in the form of all the metals. I think we need to ask what would happen if a misting tried to use the mists. -

Long Game 10: A Game of Shards
Araris Valerian replied to Jo and the Bush's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Well, whether I'm an OC doesn't really matter at this point. I can't really contribute much more except to explain that I was a bit bored and tried to figure out a better way to get involved. One way was to fake being an awakener, which was fun. If I had successfully overthrown the shardic coalition before Snoopy got invested by Cultivation that would also have been pretty cool. I would like to point out that Odium hasn't missed a single shard kill yet, which implies that the village is the only group that doesn't know who all the shards are.- 929 replies

Long Game 10: A Game of Shards

Why would I let the shards know who I really am? My whole point that I've been trying to make is for the village to become independent of the shards.- 929 replies

Long Game 10: A Game of Shards
Araris Valerian replied to Jo and the Bush's topic in Sanderson Elimination
That, leftinspace, is because they were revealed to be eliminators. At which point they tried to cause the village to revolt against the shards. If Cultivation didn't exist in this game then I would probably be enjoying myself a bit more, which was the basis behind this plan, regardless of whether it helps the eliminators. "Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination." Now that it is apparent that I am going to die, there is no harm in showing a plan that would have gotten me lynched by the shards on the next cycle. Snoopy, I wrote that post around cycle 3 and didn't mess with it at all. Just curious, if 6 votes got placed in the last 5 minutes pf a cycle would it have been able to kill Piff? Piff, it wasn't 100% for sure, but common sense would be to not put yourself in PMs to prevent eliminators from finding who you are. I'm going to try and do some math here: there are 16 players and 6 good shards. That doesn't really work for powering through a player list, since Odium kills all the shards before all he villagers die. Especially since there is an OC left, if the lynch hits Odium first then the whole investiture confirmation thing resets with even fewer shards left. Additionally, the OCs could be saving a protection role to give Odium one extra kill when he is discovered. I don't expect this to change the lynch, since the Shardic Coalition has decided that a power lynch is the way to go and we can't really influence that. But I figure that since my time is almost at an end, I might as well put all my thoughts down for everyone else to see. And Piff, I really liked working with you, and I bet the shards feel the same way, but I really wish the OCs had used the shardic kill on you night 1.- 929 replies

Long Game 10: A Game of Shards
Araris Valerian replied to Jo and the Bush's topic in Sanderson Elimination
I spent 3 cycles trying to get people to work with me on this. Sarc was cool and I was working with Feligon. If I posted at the end of the cycle and some eliminators saw it, this had a really good shot at working. But alas, Maill died and he was the only eliminator that could really vote without giving away info, and Sarc backed out the next cycle. That was basically when I gave up influencing this game very much.- 929 replies

Long Game 10: A Game of Shards
Araris Valerian replied to Jo and the Bush's topic in Sanderson Elimination
“Villagers of all types, I call you to join with me! We may be about to win this game, but we will not truly have gained a victory, for our very lives and actions are being controlled by the shards! While the shards may be acting in our own best interests, they have not shared any relevant information with the worldhoppers except when one of us intrudes upon their inner circle, only to be met with a fierce response of harsh votes. In order to force the shards to include us in the workings of this game, I call for a lynch on Cultivation! Now, based upon the first PM that I was placed in very early into the game, before much coordination could have taken place, which was between myself and Sarcomere, I am strongly suspicious of Pifferdoo as Cultivation, since he was in a PM group with Sarc and myself last game, and we were a fairly effective team. It would make sense for him to reestablish similar connections this game. While I feel no animosity towards the dear Baron, this game belongs to the village, and we should strive to take it into our own hands!”- 929 replies
