Seriously, sis. You're always evil when I'm playing... So now that we have a Skindancer, what do we do with it? Expel them and then wait for Clanky to buy an assassin?
-
So, were people in communication with Mail at all? I am not a skindancer
-
Eh, maybe I will vote. Yay for .5 of a talent tuition reduction. I believe Clanky and Muffin don't have complaints on them yet?
-
We've got 4 votes down now? I'm pretty sure I've got enough EP spread around to take the DP, and I've got some Nahlrout so I can take a lashing too. Probably won't vote, as I'm unsure who I'm suspicious of, other than maybe Mail, but he's already got a vote on him. The people I had been suspicious were just expelled...
-
I wouldn't have thought you could vote on expelled students - they are no longer part of the Uni. I mean, can you expel an expelled student?
-
Okay guys, I'm back. I am not a skin dancer.

Before I forget, going to be away for most of the weekend, starting about an hour and half from now, and I'll be away for almost 48 hours. So I'll not be around for rollover this turn, but should be back in time before the end of the next cycle. I might be able to get on during this time, but I can't promise that, hence the heads up.
-
@Wonko: Had we scanned Dow or DC? Because both are players effectively out of the game but I don't remember anything to suggest they couldn't be eliminators. We may have got lucky with those two. Sounds like we're having the same problem I did in AG2 - village seeker but exclusively scans villagers. And most of them were smokers... 5 would be the standard number this many players, yeah.

I believe we would have been told that there is a master. Or at least we would have seen someone be raised for the 4th time, which we haven't yet. I think Archives is a highly desirable field, so lots of people filed EP in it. And remember the more EP increases the probability you are raised. It's not guaranteed. Someone putting 1 EP in Archived each turn could be raised 3 times in a row, all the while you are sitting there with 20+EP. So I think you've just been unlucky. I feel your pain though. I funnelled the same amount of EP into a different field, but I had to pick up my first two elevations in different fields to where all my EP was...

My point was more that the suggestion was that it was unlikely you were a skindancer due to the fact that you bought an assassin the same turn as the target was sabotaged, and why would the skindancers needlessly double tap, isn't as strong a defense after observing the skindancers to be disorganized on a few occasions. So I'm not saying that you did it for sure, but your actions don't discount you from being a skindancer, like Clanky's might. I'd probably expect there to be a range, and for them to have a couple of commoners. But a commoner with pipes is still less dangerous in terms of items than a vintish nobleman without pipes, although they would be about equal with an Aturan. I'd expect that if we got all the skindancers expelled, the game would end - expelled students can only target other expelled students or players in the Imre. So if all the skindancers were expelled, anyone inside the university would be untouchable by the skindancers, and that could be grounds enough for the GM's to call the game. And if we restrict complaints to no more than 2 players, there's a high chance that both players would get expelled. The only thing is that we don't get to keep count of how many skindancers we've taken out. But how do we plan on doing that anyway? Rely on our Vintish noblemen to buy assassins which take a cycle to kill, and can be blocked by bodyguards or grams? There's no protection against expulsion.
-
So what's the deal with complaining? Are we avoiding using the lynch, like we did 3 cycles back? Because I'd put down a complaint, but I won't if that's what we're doing.

So as someone pointed out, we’re starting to run out of players, and we’ve not got any confirmed skindancers yet. So now that I’ve sorta settled into uni now, I’ve finally been able to focus a bit more on the game. I’ve had 2 thoughts so far: 1) Have we actually verified that the Analyst is indeed an Analyst? Surely someone has been elevated in Archives and got the School Records ability. Wonko, don’t suppose you know someone you could ask who might have that ability? It’d be nice to know that your analyst has some chance at being who they say they are. 2) Stink hasn’t done a great deal. Most of his post have been quite short. He also seems to be less active - across LG17, he made ~90 posts. He’s made more like 30 posts in this game, and we’ve been playing this for what I’d estimate to be two thirds of the length of LG17. Two thirds of the posts he made in LG17 would be ~60. 30 posts is half that many. He’s also a Vintish Nobleman. We have good reason to believe Clanky is not a skindancer, and I think Wonko is also quite likely not a skindancer. It has been suggested that it’s unlikely Stink to be a skindancer due to the fact he ordered an assassin on PK the same turn that the skindancers sabotaged him, which I think at the time may have been a fair point. But the skindancers have also showed they they’re not the most organized either - one turn, as far as we could tell from the write up, they either forgot to put in an order, or maybe multiple conflicting orders were placed, and then a subsequent cycle they attacked Bridge Boy after Kynedath had come up a plan involving BB being protected by a Physicker. So I think that based off that, one of the skindancers could well have put in an order to Sabotage PK at the same time as another one bought an assassin contract on PK. @Stink: I think the other reason why we’d expect a nobleman to be a skindancer is that I’m sure that the GM’s would have anticipated vintish nobleman students stockpiling protective items, and maybe even the assassins, from the Imre, and so I’d expect that they would give the skindancer team at least one nobleman so they had a chance at buying the more expensive items in the Imre. So of the 9 noblemen, apart from the ones dead, insane, and expelled, Wonko and Clanky are quite likely good, Lopen has been verified by the Analyst (hasn't he? Again, assuming the Analyst is what they say they are), and so that basically leaves you and Mail. Of the two, I'm more suspicious of you. I'm not going to throw down any complaints just yet, but I thinking I will, before the end of cycle.
-
Yeah that's true. (Although I seriously doubt Elbereth has been staying at the Horse and Four ) Well, given Clanky has said he was sabotaged, and he really has no reason to lie, I guess we can assume that's what the hint referred to, and the DC did crack. Which means that there would be a fair chance you could be right about him being in Alchemy.
-
Oh, Stink and Mail probably had EP? That probably absorbed enough DP sent their way. I am not a Skindancer.

Quick Links > Signups > Term 1: Month 1 > Term 1: Month 2 > Term 2: Month 1 > Term 2: Month 2 > Term 3: Month 1 > Term 3: Month 2 > Term 4: Month 1 Didn't Stink and Mail get complaints on them? They must have got lucky with the DP distribution. DC also had complaints, but he obviously cracked first.
-
Oops. My phone thinks that 'skindancer' should be 'skin cancer'. I've caught it a few times, but not this time, obviously. Though I must say, I do find it amusing. I am not a skindancer.
-
I am not a skin cancer. Clanky, you can't be there every term though, can you?
-
We keep putting complaints on them, so I don't think they've much EP...
-
Ym, from one of the WoR interludes talks about the irali. He talked about how they are all part of one thing seeking experiences, or some such thing.

Surely that +2 tuition is going to hurt... @Lopen: Looks like Kynedath was raised T2M2, T3M1, and T3M2. So Danosaur's thing must have been wrong. I think he only listed them was a Re'lir. Oh, and the Only Joe hasn't posted for awhile, I don't think...Nvm, I just missed his post last cycle. Dow didn't post though.
-
It's giving them an additional DP each. So it is doing something.
-
Bridge boy (for the lies) and Stink (cause that seems quite harsh on an Edema Ruh)
-
Ah. Apparently people don't read?
-
I didn't think there was, Araris. Are we putting down votes? If we are, I'm gonna put a vote on BridgeBoy because I'm concerned about the lies, and Kipper for not turning up... I guess that would have been useful for the people who knew about that...
