    I'll sign up as Arenta, the Mistress of Novices.

    You can have the game, but if you're running the Wheel of Time one, I think we still need to approve the rules. I'll take another look today and also try and ping some folks for a second opinion.

    Hi everyone, this is a friendly reminder that I am the IM for this game, so if you have any questions/concerns/strong emotions related to the game, feel free to reach out to me!

    Thank you @Steeldancer and @Devotary of Spontaneity for running this game, I had tons of fun, first watching Kas and Fifth enlarge our doc at an incredible pace, then helping Clanky while hoping nobody would figure out I faction swapped. I do think the win conditions for the various factions could use a bit of tweaking, and Steel's idea for a mid-game edit would be a reasonable change, but this ended up being relatively minor in terms of how the game played out for me personally. Edit: And in regards to the shenanigans revolving around Kas and I claiming CE, and TUN claiming Infiltrator, I hope we have all learned valuable lessons about both the trustworthiness of roleclaims and the loyalty/stubbornness that certain older players may have. I personally think it was a valid play for the Infils to make, but Kas and I haven't really ever been the sorts of folks to go along with something like that. I'll also note that neither of us would have opposed the Infiltrators if the other wasn't comfortable doing so; it was a joint decision between the both of us.

    I'm pretty sure that there is a single Dove left, and I am the last remaining Hawk.
  6. Araris Valerian
    I'm pretty sure that Revenge doesn't protect you. Otherwise the Lifeless would be kinda overpowered.
  7. Araris Valerian
    Archer is a vote I can get behind. I think he’s an Adjunct.
  8. Araris Valerian
    It’s going well, except for the fact that I am basically a SK with no kill. On the bright side, I’ve almost finished re-recruiting my original teammates!
  9. Araris Valerian
    Yeah. I feel like we are running short on Royals though. If there aren’t any Royals left outside of the Doves I think I’m even more toast than I was.
  10. Araris Valerian
    Mat. So you don’t die.
  11. Araris Valerian
    I guess I'm going to drop out and be the IM instead, @Elandera. But Aralis Smedry will probably still make some appearances.
  12. Araris Valerian
    I would definitely be against killing a SK, if there was one. I need lots of kills flying around to have a chance of winning, and I'm pretty sure a lonesome Hawk isn't much of a threat to a SK right now.
  13. Araris Valerian
    I might be down to kill another Revolutionary. Especially since 3 Royals have already died, so they are probably getting close to their win condition.
  14. Araris Valerian
    Hey Joe, welcome back! I'll sign up as Aralis Smedry, who is quite bad at gardening.
  15. Araris Valerian
    You kill my mates and ask me to abandon them?! Mat
  16. Araris Valerian
    I'm pretty sure Kas was the Infiltrator target, as revenge for taking out TUN.
  17. Araris Valerian
    Welp. Thanks for killing off all my teammates.
  18. Araris Valerian
    I guess Devotary should be the main person making this call then. Most of the issues that I can see with making this change revolve around what TUN and/or the other Infiltrators might have done differently given an inability to permanently work with the Revolutionaries, but the details there probably shouldn't be discussed in the thread. I'm happy to play out the game either way, but to elaborate on what I said above, if you have an imbalanced game, and the only fix imbalances in favor of a different team, then it's most fair to leave things as they are.
  19. Araris Valerian
    I think, as Archer pointed out, there is still enough unknown information in this game for it to play out as-is. I'm sort of assuming that TUN/the Infiltrators don't actually know all the Neutral win conditions, or who all of the Royals are. I'd pretty strongly lean against changing win conditions at this point in the game. On a somewhat related note, none of the role/faction claims that have been made this cycle are confirmed by the GM. That means that Kas and I could be lying about TUN being an Infiltrator, TUN could be lying about Kas and I being Cowardly Elites, Kas and/or I could have lied to TUN about being Cowardly Elites, and there are probably some other potential lies that could float out there. So it's a little arrogant of anyone to assume that there are optimal actions for people to take, or that the game is essentially solved. My main stake in this is that I was enjoying my doc with Kas and Fifth, and I don't really like someone from a hostile faction dictating to me how I should use my role if I want to be able to win. I can solve both of those issues (well, the former might be a bit of a lost cause), while playing toward my current win condition, by voting out TUN.
  20. Araris Valerian
    At the very least, depending on how many people are willing to vote this cycle, we can force the hand of the Infiltrators. I'm sure everyone would like to know who in their faction actually doesn't care a whit about their win condition. There's no long-term commitment here.
  21. Araris Valerian
    We should definitely be putting our trust in the faction that the rules specifically call out as being functionally elims. Definitely no way that could ever go wrong for anyone.
  22. Araris Valerian
    Yeah, TUN is in my faction and claimed Infiltrator to me, since he believed my claim of Cowardly Elite and thought I would be fine jumping ship (which I wouldn't do, even if I was a CE). And Kas is my PM bro.
  23. Araris Valerian
    TUN
  24. Araris Valerian
    Sort of? But I would say that I was mostly being stubborn because there wasn’t really a good reason to not vote Mat. I also might have forgotten that Breath is distributed among the people who successfully vote someone out.
  25. Araris Valerian
    Do you actually think the whole thread would jump on you for fake-claiming a faction? Even if someone from the actual faction counter-claimed? Part of what makes me suspicious is how simple you claim your faction is. Sometimes the simplest claim is just the most convenient one.
