Fun times. Analytical!Alv is still around. He's gathering information and trying to see any patterns but at moment needs a dead elim to work with.

Nope. Connie currently doesn't have an active vote.

First Araris starts slipping back into the Shadows and now Laidback!Kas is leaving? @Burnt Spaghetti, stay with me! Don't become the PM Spider again!

Nope. Several vote counts have missed that Random moved their vote from Archer to Illwei. See.

Hey Kas. How's it going? Well chull. Here I was all set to vote for you and you go and do this. My analysis has/had at least one elim in the group of Archer, Quinn or Devotary. But it's only preliminary results and I was looking forward to your death to see if I was on the right track.

I did not use it and I haven't been told I no longer have it so one would assume I still have it.

Blackbane wrote a letter too. It was a.

Actually I have other plans.

Stop asking the GMs to do a vote count and do your own. It's not the GMs job to keep you informed of the VC.

I hate this. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. There is a chance at a tied vote and I'm not allowed to make one as that's not my playstyle this game. Now, if someone else was to tie it up..... please

Storm it people. How am I meant to do my notes if you keep PMing me every minute or two? Kidding. I'm loving the PMs as it's not something I get very often. Stiker on the other hand needs lots more PMs. Lots and lots more. He needs to drown in PMs if he is going to truly become SpiderEZ. Plus it might drive him to Madness.

You mean 22-sided dice right? There are 23 players, take yourself off the list as there is zero reason to vote for yourself and you have 22 players left to roll for. And 22 sided dice aren't that hard to come across. Although sadly, I am yet to get one so cards are what I use for the moment.

To those that have PMed me, I'll get to each of you tomorrow. I'm just here to deal with this. Oh hell no. You did not just advise using an electronic device/program for invoking The Gods of Luck and Chance! For such an affront, I'm going to have to go after your Shadowblaze now. Firstly, burning iced animal crackers can gain their favour. Whole crackers mind not the broken bits. You can eat those. This step is not necessary but it can help if you wish for their continued blessing. Secondly, one must use physical dice/coins/items to receive their answer. Saying "May the Gods of Luck and Chance smile upon me." as you roll/flip brings their attention to what you are after resulting in a more favourable outcome. Dice are the preferred vessel of their will but if you don't have the right denomination of dice, a deck of cards works well too. Just use as many cards as you have options and assign a name/task to each before shuffling and drawing the chosen one.

Possible but even if there was a Gun, I wouldn't have gone for it as Analytical!Alv isn't RandomFun!Alv and has to do things logically. And of course @Gears does another great starting post, which is why I enjoy playing with them, but they said basically everything I was going to say. IMO I believe we should all be going for Chalk, Acid and Maps in that order. Chalk and Acid for defense while the Maps need to be used asap to fill the camp supply as much as possible so there's more resources and less likely someone misses out if too many go for essential items. While I can see the uses for the Specialization books, they will likely paint targets on the backs of those that go for them. Part of the reason the Village lost the last time this game was run was because we only worked on getting the exact defense we needed to, we didn't really bother with extras in case of roleblocks and we tended to go after fun or interesting items from the camp. So long as we can keep a good supply of chalk flowing both into and out of the camp we should have an easier time of defense later down the line.

@Sart, you forgot the Gun in the supply! What am I suppose to go for now????

You didn't know there was a Conversion role/item? Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. We might need a psychiatrist on standby for this game. And maybe a straitjacket. What if you're evil and get the Shadowblaze? Will you convert or shall Good Guy Fain make an appearance?

Indeed. Relaxed!Kas is paranoia free so everyone roleclaim to him.

Firefly is truly wonderful and is something I constantly rewatch. But Serenity, I'm still not over that death.

You have invoked the SE curse of Wyrm. The first person you trust will be the Elim leader.

Mr. Invisible is going to be visible? This really is the twilight zone.

So we have Laidback!Kas and Analytical!Alv? All we need now is Threadtalking!Burnt and this really will be the Twilight Zone. This is going to be a fun game. You lot are in for a treat with 2014 Kas around.

Blackbane watched the growing pool of urine making sure it didn't flow under his boots. Once the flow stopped, he tucked everything away and laced up his trousers before heading back towards the camp. How long had it been since he was last on the front line, Blackbane had no idea. After the last failed attempt, time itself seemed to both stand still and speed along at an incredible rate simultaneously leaving him confused as to what happened afterwards. One thing was clear though and that was that the Chalklings were still coming and that was enough for Blackbane. Someone was behind all of this and Blackbane was going to find them. One way or another! Signing up. I'm going to try and be more analytical this game but don't be surprised if I fall back into old habits.

Whether or not you are an analysis player shouldn't matter. If you don't want to do analysis, then don't. Post your gut reads if you want and the others will just have to be happy with that. If you're chaotic, yes you are more likely to get exe'd but that is part of the price you have to accept. Same goes if you want to change your playstyle. People are creatures of habit, you do something different, it will stick in their minds and make you stand out. That will naturally cause them to focus on you more resulting in you being killed or voted on more often. But that doesn't mean you should stop doing it. If you are having fun, then keep it up. If you want to be less serious, that's great. Do it. These games could do with more fun/quirky players. It is not okay to hurt others to win. There is a reason we have a rule about using someones real life as a reason for trust. If you know someone outside in the real world and you use information from that to betray them, that is very much not okay! If playing this game destroys a friendship then perhaps you shouldn't be playing. Having said that, in game knowledge is fair game. These games are about killing and betraying each other. There will be hurt feelings and a sense of betrayal but remember, it is just a game. The people on the other side of that screen don't mean to truly hurt you even if at times it does feel that way. Prioritizing fun over pressure is very difficult. What is fun for you might not be fun for others. Best chance is for everyone to play the games their way but listen to others. If you want to RP this game, great but perhaps RP your suspicions as well. If you want to focus on analysis, go for it but remember that not everyone plays the same as you and forcing them to give their suspicions is not something you should do. Asking if someone is willing to share is good but if they choose not to, respect their decision. If you don't bend over backwards to accommodate the RPs or the quirky players then they shouldn't have to bend over backwards for you. You can always ask for more but accept what you are given. Backstabbing is part of the game. You trust someone and they betray that trust. Don't take it personally for it was not personal. At some stage you will be the one in position to betray them. Will you do it? Thinking from another's perspective is very difficult. The best I can come up with is to think about that post you just made and how you would feel if someone said that to you. Take what I said with a grain of salt though. I've spent years building up my playstyle to the point that I can get away with almost anything. For example I spent the entire game of QF27 spouting quotes from Shadow of Mordor as Zunn the Mad. Even the end post closing up the game was in Zunn's style. At no stage did I try and solve the game. Sure near the end I was very suspicions of Orlok but I didn't break character to say so because I didn't want to. I was having too much fun as Zunn. No one expects analysis or gut reads from me because I spent a lot of time/games setting up my playstyle that way. It can and will take each player years to truly find their own style. You will be killed for trying different things. You will be voted on for being wrong in your gut/analysis posts. This is part of the game. Stick with it, push through and you will emerge with a playstyle unique to you. Trust me, it'll be worth it.

This is the thread that never ends. Yes it goes on and on my friends. Some people started replying not knowing what they did And they'll continue replying forever just because
