Honestly I’m more excited to see Allomancer Jak vs... well any of them, really.

Woo! To all of my opponents: Well fought! It has been an honor. *Samurai bow* And good luck to everyone next round! This is another really good grouping of characters

Oh storm it, didn't you do this to me the last game I ran? *checks spreadsheet* yes, you did.

Ha ha silly Inklingspren, you don’t roast sticks, you use them to roast other things.

Yep, pretty much, unless someone does remember something. Good luck!

FWIW I expect the time commitment required for this game to be fairly light. There are no PMs, a max of 3 cycles, and less analysis required than usual. However, if you’re still hesitant to commit right now, maybe I could persuade you to sign up as a pinch hitter? Welcome aboard! I wasn’t planning on a spec doc, because, well, IMO if you have enough time to watch and comment on this game then you have enough time to play it. Or at least sign up as a possible pinch hitter. Plus there are no player-deaths, so nobody would be joining it after the game begins. Still, if enough people want a spec doc (say... at least 3) then I’ll make one.

Glad you like them! And yes, please send and share them with whomever you like! That’s what they’re there for.

Sure, welcome aboard! This game probably won’t be quite as heavy or involved as most of your usual Sanderson Elimination games, so it’s a good one to join in that sense. However, be aware that this games uses a different format from your normal SE/Mafia game, so it will be new and different (for you and for everyone else).

Woah, hold the train, game 6 isn't over yet! We're playing 8-ball mode, so when the red team found the assassin the game should have entered sudden death mode. I just double checked, and the spymasters haven't really given anything away about the red team's remaining codenames, so we're going to back up and let the red team finish up the game properly. Red team: It's now sudden death mode. @Kidpen cannot give any more hints, but you now have unlimited guessed to find ALL the rest of your agents. If you guess a single incorrect codename then the game ends and the blue team wins, but if you can find the rest of your agents without making any mistakes then you will win. Good luck! @Kidpen @recneps @Jondesu @Ashspren @Rebecca

Welcome aboard! Working on setting up the grid right now. We have more than enough players to get started, so @Ashspren I'm going to go ahead and accept you as the other Spymaster, unless we get a last minute volunteer. Once the grid is set up I'll shoot you a PM.

Eban Naworeh looked over his tiny shop. In his 82 years serving as Silverlight's chief Oracle, he had acquired a good number of knick-knacks, trinkets, baubles, potions, relics, and other curiosities- and each one of them served an important function. He moved slowly through the shop, repositioning an item here, dusting off another there. When he was satisfied, he touched an etched panel on the wall, dimming the lights, and moved to the bedroom. He removed his slippers, donned his sleeping cap, and climbed under the covers. His head had scarcely hit the pillow before images and impressions flooded his mind. This was no ordinary dream- decades of service as an Oracle had taught him the difference between regular dreams and visions. This one came mostly in the form of emotions and flashes of color. Animosity and malicious intentions. A concocted plot. Indistinct silhouettes, moving against a bright background. Surprise and shock. The color crimson. A flash of pain. Death. Eban's eyes snapped open. He sat up in bed and shook his head, trying to make sense of the images and sensations still rattling around inside his skull, but they refused to take shape. Of one thing, however, Eban was certain: Somewhere, somehow, somebody had just been murdered. And they had to find and catch the murderer before it was too late. Welcome to QF33 - Deception, Murder in the Cosmere! This game is a little bit different from your regular SE game. Okay, it's very different. It is based on the game “Deception: Murder in Hong Kong” by Grey Fox Games, but with a Cosmere-flare. The gist of it is this: Somewhere within the Cosmere, a grisly murder has taken place. You and your fellow Investigators arrive at the scene of the crime to discover that the Assassin has left important clues. From among the suspicious objects scattered around, you must deduce the “Methods of Murder” and identify the “Key Evidence” in order to catch and convict the killer. As if solving a murder wasn’t tricky enough, this one is complicated by the fact that one of your fellow Investigators is the Assassin! While the Oracle gives the Investigators clues on what to look for, the Assassin attempts to sow confusion and doubt in order to cover their dark deed. Furthermore, the Assassin may have one or more Co-conspirators trying to cover their escape, but the Investigators may find aid in the form of a Witness who can identify the criminals and help bring them to Justice! The full rules for this game can be found here. Please read through them thoroughly, as again this is different from anything else we have done in SE, and if anything is unclear please ask questions! While sign ups are open I will be making a spreadsheet that will be used to run the game and will be open to the public. When it's ready I will edit the link in here, but in the meantime here is a link to the spreadsheet with all the "cards" and "tiles" that will be used in the game. Sign-ups are now open, and will run until the countdown timer below runs down. Quick Links:

So far we have: Me @Ashspren @Scion of the Mists @Rebecca @Jondesu @Kidpen @luckat @Snipexe Would anyone like a go at being spymaster? It's been a few rounds since I was one, so I'll take another stab at it if nobody objects.

Thanks to both of you, your trust means a lot. I'll get signups posted later this evening.

Thank you! What about the potential issue that @Sart raised about the GM/Oracle role? I'm obviously biased in my opinion in how it should be run, so I'd like an official, outside decision one way or the other before we begin. Thanks again.

The choice was easy for me, but I admit that I might be a tad bit biased. I don't envy everyone else who is voting though, all the raps where phenomenal

Good game everyone! Who is in for Round 7? I'll get the grid done as soon as I get the chance.

@Faceless Mist-Wraith and @RippleGylf FYI Crafty gave this idea their stamp of approval: However just for future reference for anyone else who may be looking for a sponsor, I myself am going to respectfully decline. I feel like my involvement with the contest would make that situation too awkward.

@Calderis: see the edit in my post above that I made right before you posted.

Ah I see. However the Shash one wasn’t coincidence, that was intentional. EDIT: wait, I take it back. It looks like we have contradicting WoBs on it. In one place he implies it was an intentional linguistic connection and in another place he says it’s just a coincidence. The coincidence one is the more recent quote though. https://wob.coppermind.net/adv_search/?query=Shash

Both of those are named after Peter Ahlstrom, Brandon’s editor and right hand man.

Fun fact: the street I grew up on was named “Kenton Drive”... ... and I never made this connection between Kenton street and Kenton the character. *facepalm*

Funny story: while I was serving an LDS mission in New Zealand one of my companions was from Tahiti and was trying to improve his English, so he borrowed a children’s book to read. He kept coming to me asking about words he didn’t understand and after a couple days we realized that it wasn’t the best book to read when trying to learn English. What was the book? Anyway, as for actual helpful advice: when I was younger and reading books that were above my level I would have a dictionary right by me and when I came across a word I couldn’t understand or figure out I would look it up. I suspect you would probably want to do the same with a Spanish-English dictionary. You probably already are.

Aren’t they fantasTIC? j/k I’m going to be unintentionally rhyming words in my head for days now. Nah that would have been too easy. Plus I wanted a chance at winning.
