WHAT HOW DARE THEY

i didnt kick anybody out of the tea party C1, so i couldnt have been redirected.

can you try for the party again today?

Already submitted an order.

Wait what do you mean you can kick people out of the tea party?

... well I apparently don't know what I'm doing, then, because I don't got time powers.

Unless being "Cursed by Time" affects the actions that I've taken, in which case... maybe. No idea.

I don't know if I believe you, but fine. Ashbringer.

To clarify what's happened, someone has expelled me from the tea party cycle 1. This means I have no longer had tea, which is terrible news, as it means I no longer have any cake or tea. I don't understand how this has happened, but it's very frustrating.

Ashbringer. I know what you're doing, and I'm not happy about it. Stop using your time powers on me, this game is hard enough to keep track of without time travel being involved.

Don't worry. I've still got a vote left. Experience to break the tie.

I am now interested in you, though. Do you have a way to change your size? And have you been to the Tea Party yet?

Yes and yes. The tea party was lovely, and I got some delicious Cake that I am planning on eating.

The Suit theory is not holding true. TKN confirmed that he is holding a Clubs card, but is not an Animal. Also, if you're in the yellow faction (assuming there's only one yellow faction), why do you care if people in other factions go mad? Your wincon should have nothing to do with that.

Ah never mind then. Apologies Stick. We're probably on the same side then.

Oh i see

Yeah i'd be down to kill ash, i have slight reason to want ash dead but it's not like. super necessary either. 

also, i dont think role colours imply much re:independent or faction-aligned. My role colour isnt green nor red. I could be independent or I could have a few teammates. at the moment i have slight reason to lean towards the latter

That makes sense. My faction color is yellow. Assuming that the suit theory is holding true, that means you're not the same suit as me.

Therefore, Stick.

Huzzah. A success for the Contribution Crusade. Scars of Hathsin.

Oh great, now I actually have to think about my votes. I think Stick might be a good target here.

At the very least, I certainly want you to think that

Sart immediately going for the CC when he never even thought to do it last LG, where I'd argue the situation was much more appropriate for. Noted.

I didn't do it in the Long Game because that had an inactivity filter, plus we had basically all experienced players. This game doesn't have any inactivity filter (that we know of), so we're responsible for maintaining activity. To be clear, I'll retract my vote if Scars puts down a vote. It's just a way of encouraging activity.

Contribution Crusade.

@Scars of Hathsin Please attend the tea party. We have cakes and bottles of strange liquid. Scars of Hathsin

I'll reserve my spot on this clown car. I'm in as Figgldygrak.

Sorry for not being active. Just putting my votes on Ashbringer Ashbringer

Seriously? I can't believe Steel was actually evil. I knew that was a possibility, but I didn't think it was actually true.

I'm also doing my part. Archer Archer. This is a protest vote for hitting the books too much.

Sorry to be clear, I forgot to mention but I made a snap decision to Soothe STINK. Was worried his votes on Ash would mean the lynch wasn't going to work. 

To a group of Sart, Archer, Wonko.

Edited:

@Sart Since we are being open, who did you roleblock T3M1? Wilson is rechecking Ash's results AFAIK.

Ashbringer.

Sarenrae was in deep trouble. After splitting her time diligently in two fields, she was going to be denied Mastery in both of them. It wasn't fair. This entire academy had turned into a ghost town. She was pretty sure that she was going to be the only Student left. But could she get a discount of any kind? Of course not. She was going to be old and grey before she got her Masters post at this rate. The Master Alchemist was apparently a Skindancer, but no one seemed able to do anything about it. At this rate, it was time to do some soul searching, before she went mad with boredom. Ironically, she had gotten her wish for peace and quiet.

I'm struggling to understand why anyone reasonable would flip Szeth when TJ is the obvious choice here.

Brain going back to E!Araris tbh. But not my problem.

Looks like it's either E!Archer or E!STINK.

Ash did not take action. Hope no one tried to assassinate him.

@Sart Was that you?

No, for obvious reasons. I was Lashed, so I couldn't take any actions.

• If it's Steel, I feel like I need to start drinking.
• If it's Kas, I feel like he deserves the win given all his effort.
• If it's Ash, I feel like we've already lost.
• If it's STINK, I'm ticked off.
• If it's Archer, I feel like we go around in circles.

This is where my head is at.

@STINK You're here. Good to see you. Basically, Archer has been claiming Archives scanner, which is questionable at this point, but is a bold claim. He's been scanning vote trains to determine evil or good. It's not bulletproof, but it is a powerful ability.

He did go on the Horns at one point so I guess it's possible but hard to model. If your numbers are right, this entails making judgement calls on STINK and Archer at this juncture. 

I'd rather vote for the person who stayed quite about almost becoming a master than the person who voted on themselves because of it.

Edit: We can also easily confirm if someone has the Linguistics 1 ability, since he's apparently done the other two. All we would need is confirmation that he sent a PM to an expelled student.

@Matrim's Dice Since you're on, did you elevate in Linguistics on T1M3? It's either you or Araris, and I'm just trying to work it out.

We can do the worst case scenario math, since we know when STINK was elevated. Let's assume he's spent all his EP on Linguistics.

T1M1: Linguistics 0. Pre-Game Linguistics. Submits 5 EP into Linguistics.
T1M2: Elevated to Linguistics 1. Currently at 5 EP. Submits 4 EP into Linguistics.
T1M3: Stuck at Linguistics 1. Currently at 9 EP. Submits 4 EP into Linguistics.
T2M1: Elevated to Linguistics 2. Currently at 8 EP. Submits 3 EP into Linguistics.
T2M2: Stuck at Linguistics 2. Currently at 11 EP. Submits 3 EP into Linguistics
T2M3: Still Stuck at Linguistics 2. Currently at 14 EP. Submits 3 EP into Linguistics
T3M1: Elevated to Linguistics 3. Currently at 17 EP. Submits 2 EP into Linguistics
T3M2: Should be Master. Currently at 19 EP. Submits 2 EP into Linguistics.
T3M3: Should already be Master

Only way this makes sense is if STINK lost EP due to forgetting actions, or by getting extremely unlucky with DP. Either way, he should be extremely close to becoming Master. In addition, this necessitates Szeth (or technically Archer) going into Linguistics.

3 minutes ago, Kasimir said:

STINK claimed Linguistics 3 and has proved to have both Linguistics 2 and 3.

Steel has Archives 1 because Archer started with Archives but did not elevate. That part is easily worked out and if he's Village, implying E!Archer, makes the inactivity more galling. 

Okay, thank you. Next question. How much EP does STINK have in Linguistics?

Well, we're in a tight spot. There must be one Skindancer (at least) left at the University. I'll be real with you guys. I think this whole operation security nonsense is bunk. There's only 6 players left who can vote, and you've included most of them in your PMs. Further, one of them has been stone cold inactive this entire game. In addition, there are many ways to scan PMs in this game. So, let's just lay cards on the table, yes?

Here are the roles of the players left alive, or at least what's been claimed to me.

• Kasimir: Rhetoric & Logic 2, Medica 1
• Steeldancer: ??? 1
• Archer: Archives 3
• Ashbringer: Master Alchemy
• STINK: ??? Linguistics 1
• Sart: Medica 2, Linguistics 1

So, uh, what the crem has STINK STINK been investing in? Let's get that out of the way first.

I feel bad Kas, but I was busy with IRL stuff for the past two nights. I'm going to be much more active this weekend, which should help.
