I believe so. Re: Stink, while I must say I'd be suspicious, I'm willing to be lenient given I've not seen him play before. I took his main reason for the vote on Katara being to bring the current tally to tie, which is valid (though I'd have waited to later in the cycle). But yeah, reserving judgment for the time being.

Yay for research before playing! (I did a similar thing on my first game. Might as well share my thoughts on the things you bring up (a bunch of those things had come up in my mind too). Re: Wilson. This would the one of the times I'd want to go slightly meta with his - that had been my thought (that it could be eliminators) but then I also know people like to poke the Brightness Ascendant. So I was going to go through some of the last few games and look at who has a tendency to target Wilson for the sake of it. I know I was tending towards trust wilson because of it, but then, I'm aware I have a bias towards doing that. I might post something more on this later. I took Hero's vote to be mostly a poke vote, with a fairly light on reason just to encourage Adamir to turn up. I guess for me, it's not enough to set off alarm bells, but I guess it's something worth watching. Edit: Hah, beat you to it this time, Orlok!

Sometimes investigators can get on a roll and get some lucky finds (i.e. Macen in the last game) or they manage to get a safety net and survive in public for the whole game (mostly, in the case of Meta in LG12). That's far from guaranteed though. In my first game, QF7, I could scan for roles (though not alignment). I lasted for most of the game, but failed to find a single person with powers (as far as I could detect). So yes, it gives the investigator(s) an extra turn. It also gives the eliminators an extra turn as well. The idea with these is everyone talking. Eliminators often try and hide among the semi-inactives (of course, you get people like Wyrm in one of the last games who lead the discussion the whole game as an eliminator). If everyone's posting and contributing, they have to too. Eliminators have more information than most other players. The more they have to talk, the more likely they are to slip and say something that they shouldn't have. I think the point is that if people are talking, offering their opinions on what's happening, suggesting things, it allows for everyone to analyze what everyone has been saying, checking for inconsistencies, that sorta thing. Particularly seeing as we have PM's this game, sometimes eliminators can be caught pulling a scam when facts are verified in thread. Put it this way. Eliminators will kill someone this evening. What if they kill the one and only investigator the village has? We have then gained no information. What do we then do in cycle 2? We are slightly less likely to kill an villager by mistake, but only slightly. The whole point of there being so many more villagers than eliminators is so it makes it hard for us to get lucky and kill the eliminators through blind luck. Edit: You also can look at vote tallies to try and find eliminators attempting to control the lynch. Also, Orlok, that's twice now you've beat me to responding... maybe I should write less...

That's correct. In regards to D1 lynches, I think I'm in favour of them. The majority of lynch votes are ultimately guesses. If you are lucky, people might have actually put some thought into it, but at best (for the most part), all you get is an educated guess. I think it's fairly normal for just as many villagers as eliminators to be lynched across the game, so there's not a lot of point shying away from it cycle one. The other thing is the result of not having a day one lynch. If you don't have a lynch, you don't get any discussion, and as a result you arrive at cycle 2 with just as little information as you did in cycle 1. You have to just start somewhere. Now that I'm finally home, I'm gonna have a think about potential role distributions, and on what people have posted. There's little point raising the day one lynch banner if you don't participate, is there.

Woo! At some point I've been planning on getting a bunch of hard covers from the store. The cheapest shipping seems cheaper that when I last looked, so that's good.
-
I can't recall if I was officially hired or not, so playing it safe! I've got a banner that's mostly ready which I should probably put up.

The way I understand it, Wilson already has a vote on her, due to the majority of Nobles who voted secretly voting on her. So if no one put public votes in, the only vote would be on her. Also, Wilson has had games before where she's been one-shotted on the first turn, and she's usually focused on. (People find her scary for some reason. I don't see what's scary 'bout the name 'Brightness Ascendant' though. And I'll restate this here, but unless only one Noble put a vote in, at least two Nobles voted on Wilson. I've got study to do now, but at some point, methinks I want to put some guesses of role distributions out there. Edit: @Ren: Oh okay. That's good to know. I had missed that.
-
Umm... Wow. How could you people do that to the Brightness Ascendant? *Goes to check the rules to see if there's any rules about a certain number of votes for a lynch.* Edit: Hmm... so if no one voted at all, Wilson gets lynched, but no lynch if there's a draw. So, Noble votes only go through if there's a majority. Presuming that more than one person actually voted, it would suggest at least 2 Nobles voted on Wilson.

Really? Well then. So how are we go...*hurk*

That answer your question? You can also do it in the code view as: [url="http://www.putthelinkhere.com"]This is a link![/url]
-
Play By Post (which makes me wonder - did people play things things by sending letters in the post in days gone by?). So playing by posting in a forum as opposed to physically meeting up or using something like Skype to Video/Voice chat.

The real question is 'How does it compare to the MBI?' That can be pretty slow...
-
Awesome white tiger - my sister would most definitely approve. One of Lark's, correct?
-
Congratulations! Hope everything goes well, and that your daughter has a great and heath-full life!

Currently what I'm rocking too.

Having a Bad Day? Stop here for a Good Rant!

Have a look at a piece of Software called Recuva. That can sometimes help get files back. -
Kosparkles then sounds like the sound that the vampires make in the sun? *Gets out the code for the ship generator I prepared earlier (for a different site, to be clear, not for shipping Twi and Kobold)* The program spat out: Kobyght or TwiLold. Kobold implied that he was Bane in his subsequent post...
-
I think Koblyght works better than Kobold Lyght. Twiking, Kosparkles would be other options.

I will be playing (provided Wilson doesn't mind me tapping into her canon) brightness Draela Heb - a scribe who studied under Brightness Kenara before her untimely death in the Alethi Unification War. An acquaintance of Brightness Katara in times past, they have not met since the shortly after the war. Draela has been contracted by the Heatherlocke clan to document the events about to play out, as they believe them to have great significance for the future of Roshar, but do not presently have anyone with the connection necessarily to observe the events first hand.
-
Been a busy week, so just the action this time:
-
Adding my vote for Quiver.
-
Is Brightness Katara in anyway related to Original Wilson, or Kiireon? Should I be getting my banner back out/redone?
-
Morning! o/ At least I woke up for the finale, though I quickly realized I needed to be up and on my computer to properly participate. Mobile doesn't quite cut it at the pace it was going.

How do you guys feel about Sanderson Elimination being the last board standing in the Hurt'n'Heal 17th Shard Boards game?
-
So, woo! Sanderson Elimination FTW! I must say, was slightly annoyed to recieve 124 emails overnight from this, on top of the fact you took down Mistborn: The Inquisition while I was sleeping, so unable to defend it. (Edit: And that is why Reading Excuses needed to disappear. Otherwise, I may have defended it) But a SE victory is an adequate consolation prize.
