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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Okay, wait. Backing up a sec. TKN scanned village? Then why was there no insanity that month? I guess we're back to square one on that thread then. I don't like this. Theoretically, there should be some push back from expelled players since Szeth would be their only hope of winning the game. Of course, it could also be Drake that's inactive, but again, that seems too easy. I might be getting too paranoid now, but whatever. It's going to mess with the thread too much if I change course now. Szeth Szeth.
-
Well, I guess this has been decided then. Ashbringer TJ TJ. Let's see what happens next.
-
Vote Count: Szeth (6): Archer, Archer, Kasimir, Kasimir, Kasimir, Kasimir STINK (2): TJ, TJ While it's certainly possible that the elims are low activity, I always get paranoid about that possibility. I'm going to spread the love to Ashbringer. @Ashbringer You haven't voted yet, and I'm curious as to your thoughts. Do you think the elims are low activity, or are we dealing with deep wolfing?
-
Ashbringer Ashbringer. TKN TKN. Given that TKN is a Noble who has only been elevated once, I am concerned that the elims have spent a large time in Imre buying supplies.
-
While I do want to touch on why no one went insane, I first want to figure out why Mat voted on himself. Unless I'm missing something, there's only two ways to accomplish that. Either some one is level 3 in Rhetoric, or someone used a Name on Mat. Considering that Kasimir was surprised by this development, there's only one other person who was Level 3 at the time of the manipulation. I'll press the issue here. Ashbringer Ashbringer have you been delving deep into Rhetoric?
-
Dang it. Copied and pasted your question, and lost my analysis. To answer why I suspected TJ first. I thought his votes didn't have a lot of thought put behind them, and thought he was sheeping someone. However, after analyzing the votes, I can clearly see that he was the first vote on both targets, so that analysis doesn't hold water. The problem is, I still have a poor gut read on him, and I think I can back it up with evidence. 4 separate people all voted on Archer on Month 2. TJ, Wonko, Drake, and you Kas. In the world of E!Archer that would look pretty good for TJ and Kas. However, the Elims choice of kill confuses me. Archer votes for Drake twice in the same cycle that the Elims decide to kill him. Why bother with that? Wouldn't it be better to vote on someone who might get expelled, in order to further damage the village? That's why I'm leaning slightly village on Archer. In a V!Archer scenario. I suspect that the leading train would have an Elim on it. 2 of the people on that train have gone crazy, leaving only you and TJ. I know that voting you won't do much, so I'll try hurting TJ.
-
Alright vote analysis, go! I'm going to assume off the bat that those who were driven insane were targets of Skindancers, and thus real Students. T1M1: T1M2: T1M3: Crap. Haven't done a vote count, but I'm running out of time, and I'm presuming that I'm leading in the votes. I still have a bad vibe on TJ, so TJ TJ. I'm going to keep writing a post, but I'm not sure it's going to be done before rollover.

Sarenrae cleared her throat, not particularly wanting to apologize, but knowing it was necessary. "I'm sorry for letting a velociraptor loose in the Medica. It was an interesting research subject, and I thought it might prove vital in my knowledge of the body. I'm sorry it started rampaging, and caused severe property damage. I take full responsibility for my actions, and apologize to Aralor for my lack of foresight. She felt relieved. Surely that would calm the student body. However, someone shouted, "But what about Francis's food? How dare you steal his culinary masterpieces!" Sarenrae was baffled. "Seriously? That's what you're mad about? Well, sorry, I guess. I mean you just left it out there, so I figured I could eat some of it." "No I didn't!" cried Francis from somewhere in the crowd. "Yes you did!" Sarenrae was outraged by this accusation. "It was in a big pot at the dorms. I saw it was some kind of stew, and drank some of it. Sue me. It was hot, and I was thirsty. And let me be clear that level of salt could kill someone. I don't know what you guys are talking about." "THAT WAS EMBALMING FLUID YOU IDIOT!" shouted someone. "..." Sarenrae paused. "I suppose that explains the after affects on my gut system. Sorry for confusing preservation liquid with food." Apparently the university had been doing a number on her. Perhaps she needed to take a break.
-
Sarenrae examined her fellow students in order to see what they had to offer. Francis (Matrim's Dice) was a terrible cook. Salt was meant to be used as a preservative, or a component in alchemy. It was not meant to drown out all other flavors, and lead to a desperate desire for water. She glared at him. "Are you trying to poison us?" she accused. Matrim's Dice. Cavothee (The Known Novel) had decided to invent unique headware. The idea seemed promising, although the fashion was a bit lacking. A holly hat was a glowing bright sign to the skindancers, saying "Remove me first!" If the technology was converted into an amulet, or some other method of concealment, that could potentially save a life. Issal (Ashbringer) had found a field that accommodated them well. A Re'lar could be a useful ally. Sarenrae had to admit she was slightly jealous. Now if only Issal would get his head out of the clouds. Then they could actually tackle the problem at hand. Aralor (Araris Valerian) had found some sort of hunting bird. Sarenrae would love to study such an exotic creature. She hadn't studied falconry at all, but knew such creatures could be used for reconnaissance. It was an intriguing proposition. Jincs (Archer) was struggling to apologize. She hadn't paid much attention to the arguments surrounding him, but they felt slightly overblown. Still, his conniving attitude rubbed her the wrong way. However, it wasn't the stench of a skindancer. It was more the stench of an arrogant prick. Kevan (Kasimir) had re-enrolled after getting expelled from the university. Why in the world did the professor's agree to that? If she heard correctly, he nearly burned down the school. She debated whether a skindancer would do an act of sabotage so publicly. Probably not, but during his abscence and hiatus, he could have been replaced. After examining the complaints from the previous cycle, she also decided to lodge a complaint against TJ. The two votes he did seemed opportunistic, and something about them made her hair stand on end.
-
In a blatant attempt to lower tuition, here's some RP mixed with analysis. Sarenrae was focused on her work. As a student of this illustrious university, it was imperative that she continued to hone her craft, elevating it to a new standard of excellence. However, it appeared that everyone else had taken the same approach. No one was actually talking with another. It was as if they were all in their own little worlds. They couldn't even agree on what year it was, much less what to do about the skindancers. For that reason, she submitted a complaint against Kevan (Kasimir). It felt as though that man was in his own little world of fun and camaraderie, ignoring the plight of the other students. It certainly wasn't because she was jealous of his tight knit circle of friends. She sighed. It wasn't like she was much better at this. She hadn't given much thought to the problem, and didn't truly suspect anyone of being a creature from myth. Perhaps it was time to start investigating. TL;DR: Kasimir's RP is great, but it's a little disconnected from all other RP. In general, we should try to come up with a cohesive setting, in order to better facilitate thread activity. Haven't put much thought into alignment yet, but that will come soon.
-
Oh no now I have to actually read rules.
-
As someone with not much skin in the game, perhaps the problem with this ruleset is including a village faction in the first place. The fun of this game, at least to me, was trying to become one of the Shards and gain cosmic power. If the standard win condition was gain a Shard, and fulfill it's win condition, I think that might have led to a more interesting game.
-
Got it. DeTess. Getting a bad vibe from them.
-
I don't know why the factions wouldn't convert. Getting an extra player enables talking inside of docs, more action economy, and a better game experience. What else would they even do? Admittedly Bavadin can't convert, but they'll make friends regardless. I think I'm just going to go with what feels flavorful for me today.
-
Oh right. Shard game. Yep, I'm in.

Long Game 94: The Call of the Forest of Hell
Sart replied to Elandera's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Obviously this clears Kasimir and Devotary, barring extreme shenanigans. I'd lightly clear Illwei, Matrim's Dice, and DeTess. I want to take a closer look at Archer, as they were the third candidate up for Day 1, but managed to wiggle out of it.
