I love the no in the silly box. Upvote for that alone.

That is an Excellent Deduction. I think you're on the right Track, if not completely Correct. And Welcome to the Forum.

Don't they go above his ears to the back of his head?

Having seen the finale of season 2, I'm quite fine with bug wings now.

Just off the top of my head: Mistborn: Rust and Ruin, By the Lord Ruler! By the Survivors Scars! By the Mist. Warbreaker: Colours! Austere! Elantris: Merciful Domi, Nights Stormlight: Storms! Various Herald's stuff Alcatraz: Shattering Glass, Alliterative Authors Steelheart: Sparks! Calamity! Shadows for Silence: God Beyond, Shadows!

Just a few more questions.

Oh! That makes sense. Good Job Texan.

Kobold, I'd just like to point out that Sam didn't die in the Reckoner's HQ, and while a Revolver is a Handgun, Megan most decidedly did not use a revolver. XD.

Can we get a link to the summary pages? I don't have that anymore.

. . . I can't even remember what this refers to. Shallan Maybe? Or Jasnah? And I think you're right about those Dankworth.

It happened in another case by accident. Harmony had no part in that.

Can someone post another question?

That would be unlikely, but Hilarious. Most of the people in Elendel ignore Wax and Wayne, and those that do pay attention only pay attention to Wax, since he's Noble. I believe it's set to be about a Mistborn Serial Killer and An Allomantic Swat Team. Man I hope so. Again, I hope so. This needs to be a Fan-Fic Brandon has done lost and Lots of research, so the two civilizations meeting will be accurate. So I'd guess that yeah, there will be rampant diseases. Yes. It's supposed to be an Earth Parallel, Their tech will be like ours at the same time. No. They are completely Controlled by Harmony. There are no Rouge Kandra. The only way for The Kandra to rise up is if Odium shatters Harmony and takes control of them through The Flaw, and I'm not certain either of those things are possible. Welcome to the Forum!

I am so confused about what is happening. How did Mailliw get so much Information? Why exactly aren't we killing him to prevent the spread of said information? And Why is Wilson abandoning her team?

What did you miss? The shades? The red Shade?

It's not working. I can't see the picture.

So, I'm a Disguise Lens wearer, and somebody is trying to find my Faction, so I target the Serial Killer. What does the spy dude learn? And does the serial killer kill me or him?

I've already said what i could about the airstrike. But if you guys think the risk of no survivors is too high, then we'll call it off.

Aftermath “Don’t you see what you’ve done? They think it’s me now!” Jain paced back and forth, running his hands over his head, trying to find a way out of this mess. His Panda sat on the shelf, looking down on him. I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING JAIN. YOU DO NOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE SHARDS. “But Pandy, they-” DO NOT CALL ME THAT! I AM ODIUM! Jain fell to his knees before his toy, the Toy that had been his master for years, ever since Maw had found it, and awakened it to hate. Why had Maw seen fit to pass his shard on to it? “But, what do we do then? They’re coming for us! They’ll destroy us both!” NO JAIN. WHY WOULD THEY DESTROY A SIMPLE TOY? THEY'LL DEFINITELY KILL YOU, BUT I WILL SURVIVE, AS I ALWAYS HAVE. Why him? Why had Maw decided to torture him? Jain had always been content to live as a normal man, he’d never sought after power! He had to escape somehow, from both Odium and the other Shards. But how? They knew about him. They knew who he was. There was a pounding and the door, and the Window outside was Cloudy. They were here! OPEN THE DOOR JAIN. OUR ALLY HAS ARRIVED. Jain tentatively plodded to the door, then slowly opened it, resigned to his Fate. But instead of Hoid or the Shards, the Logicspren Cognition stood without. Why had Survival come alone? Before he could ask his question, the Sprenshard breezed past him, entering the House. “Odium. I can delay the shards no longer, They are coming for you.” The Logicspren spoke without emotion, simply stating facts. “You know you cannot survive. Have you chosen your heir?” I HAVE. IF THEY DO NOT SHATTER ME, THEN I WILL BE GIVEN TO ANOTHER. HE IS WILLING. “Good, I have made arrangements for you to be saved from shattering, I must leave now to prevent the shards from discovering my Betrayal. Good Luck.” Ignoring Jain again, the Shard swept from the room. Jain stood next to the door, rather confused. “When did, no, Why did Survival Ally with you?” SURVIVAL KNEW THAT I HAD NO REASON TO SHATTER HIM. HIS INTENT DOESN’T INTERFERE WITH MINE, UNLIKE THE OTHERS. AS FOR WHEN, I DO NOT KNOW. HE STRUCK A DEAL WITH MY PREDECESSOR. There was a flash through the window, and Jain turned to see the Door caving in, as Gerald Hobbes threw Bort’s corpse through it. “I don’t see why the other shards objected to me using Bort’s head as a battering ram for this door,” Hoid said. “He was mostly dead anyway. Storming voidbringers. And now, dear Odium… I’m afraid your time has run out.” Hobbes, or Hoid, whatever his name truly was, grinned at Snoopy. “So any Last words?” Jain backed away, raising his arms defensively. “I’m just a Puppet! I was never Odium! It was all him!” He pointed one hand at the innocent looking toy Panda on the shelf. Hoid stared at him, then looked at the Panda, then back to him. “What? Do you really think I’m stupid Jain? Why would-” The bolt of Red smoke hit him in the chest, knocking him backward through the wall, as the Panda’s eyes started to glow. It rose, floating off the shelf and out the door. MIDUS, DID YOU REALLY EXPECT TO FIND ME WHERE I WOULD BE EXPECTED? I KNOW HOW YOU THINK, AND I KNOW HOW YOU’LL REACT. Jain watched as Pandy, no, Odium, threw another bolt of Red smoke, this time, Hoid dodged out of the way, and threw a Bolt of Golden Energy upward. More flashes. Behind Hoid stood 5 Figures.The Marquis, glowing Green with the Power of Cultivation, Cleo, radiating the purple of Devotion, Leif, radiating the Golden of Endowment, And Cognition, still in the form of a Logicspren. The Inquisitor Kae was there as well, standing with Cleo. Hoid rose to one knee, and spat blood in the direction of the Panda. “So Jain was the puppet. Well Odium, did you expect this?” He rose, wiping his mouth on the back of his hand. YOU WORKING WITH THE SHARDS? NOT AS SUCH NO. 6 WARRIORS STAND BEFORE ME, BUT HOW MANY STAND AGAINST ME? AND WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW? “This.” Hoid brought his arms up and cast out a beam of Pure Investiture. It flew directly towards Odium, but was blocked by a Shield of Red Smoke. The Red smoke mixed with the Rainbow mixture of Hoid’s Power.Then a Lance of Grey Investiture joined the Rainbow, followed by Purple, Golden and Green. The Sphere of Red Smoke shrunk under the combined onslaught of 4 Shards and the Wit. The Shinovar dirt beneath them began to blacken and burn from the sheer power. Jain had to scramble away as he felt the heat from the rays of Power. When he was comfortable again, he turned back to watch. Odium’s shield was still holding, though the ground around it wasn’t. Long rifts were spreading from the shield, breaking apart the ground as Odium expended his powers. Then, there was a pulse, as if everything shifted focus, and the shield fell away, before bursting back, smaller than before. Hoid took a slow step forward, straining against the force of Odium’s Hatred and, now, Fear. Another Pulse, the Shield collapsed, and Odium spun away, throwing its tiny paw towards the Horizon. The beams of Power hit the toy panda, burning through it as it screamed. THIS WILL NOT BE!!! I AM ODIUM!!! THIS IS NOT HOW I DIE!!! The Panda flew forward towards Hoid, In a desperate charge,Jain could see that it was rapidly disintegrating from the power being cast at it. The remnants of the body exploded right before reaching Hoid, scattering him with ash. The cloud of Red Smoke billowed up, and then began to Solidify, into a Shard. God’s own Divine Hatred. The stillness following the struggle almost rung in his ears, as the shards stared at their fallen foe. Finally, Hoid took a step forward towards the Shard. “Well then, we’ve finally won. Help me shatter this.” He raised his hand, obviously intending to cast more power at it, but was stopped by Cleo. “Hoid, we have won. We do not need to do this anymore. Without a mind, Odium will be harmless for centuries. We have until then to decide what to do with it.” Jain stared at Devotion flabbergasted. Devotion was showing Mercy on even Odium? Hoid looked even more astounded, and enraged. “Cleo, I will destroy this shard. The only way we could keep it safe is if someone took it up and became a new Odium.” Kae stepped forward. “Not if Devotion guards it with her power. We can give it to someone loyal, someone like Lord Cett. He’s proven his worth, and slew the Last Holder of Odium.” Before Hoid could retort, Survival stepped forward, “Their Request is logical. Contain the power, in case we ever need it again.” Hoid tried again to object, but Cognition forestalled him. “Why don’t you go tell the others that Odium is defeated. Tell them that we’re in a new Epoch, one without hatred’s Influence.” He brightened considerably at this. “All right then, I’ll make sure everyone knows, but be careful with that shard, it can corrupt much quicker than you believe. However, I am taking the Shin.” He gestured to where Jain was mournfully gathering the ashes of his companion. “I still have unanswered questions.” He grabbed Jain by the back of the neck, and vanished before he could react. Endowment and Cultivation, sharing a glance, vanished as well. Survival simply faded away, leaving Cleo and Kae to send Odium to Ash Cett. _____________________________________________________________________ Ash stood atop the mountain, watching as the Shards left. He could feel Odium’s power flowing into him, constantly strengthening him. He was now one of the Shardholders. One of only 13 such beings. Amazing how one’s fortunes could change so suddenly. With his newfound power and awareness, he could feel a shard forming behind him. That would be Survival. The traitor in the midsts of the shards. He turned to face him. “You’ve come with a deal I assume? Like our previous arrangement?” They’re previous arrangement had netted Cett a shard. Hopefully he could use his powers to bring back his daughter, his true daughter. “Indeed. Once they interrogate Jain, they will learn of my part in the deaths of their Brothers. It’s only logical I join with Odium again to Survive.” Cognition was in his true form, Some sort of electrified pillar of obsidian. “And how are we two to stand against the shards, when they know us?” Doing such a thing would be hard, to say the least. “Three of us actually.” Ash turned to see Cleo and Kae walking towards them. “I bear no friendship to the remaining shards. I was a tool in their hands, not an equal. I will swear my Loyalty to Hatred.” Kae smirked and added, “Odium freed me from Ruin’s control. So I now owe you a debt of service. I too will join you.” Ash smiled, a much more malevolent Smile then he had ever had before. It appeared that Hatred was not something man could slay. It would always return, eventually. Odium will, and always has, reigned supreme. Bort was a Voidbringer! Jain was Odium! Congratulations to The Village for winning! Congratulations to MetaCognition for Surviving! I will eventually be rerunning this game, after it’s been heavily modified and revamped to remove all the flaws in balance and OPness. So if you have any suggestions for how this game should have been changed, please say them now. Special thanks to the vineyarddawg for helping with this final writeup. As an explanation for why Winter cloud is joining Team Odium, see this Conversation. Ash is joining because he was Jain’s last investee, though he tried to invest in Hoid but was killed. Metacognition is joining because he was always on Odium’s side. He held the secret shard of Survival, a shard that only wanted to survive, by any means necessary. So he went above and beyond his call, passing on vital information to Mailliw and helping Jain hide in return for a guarantee of him not being attacked. I nominate him for Most Valued Player. Survival: Honestly, my clarification should have tipped you off. You asked if Survival was a safe role, and I said that Odium was the only ‘Evil’ Shard. That’s a vague answer right there. I would also like to Nominate Luckat for the Best Plan. If she hadn’t given her plan to find Odium, Jain would have been hidden for several cycles longer. So congrats to Luckat. And finally, a quick explanation of the layout of the roles. Namely, why did Team odium have no Lifeless and Awakeners? Because in past games, the village would often wipe out the entirety of a role set, firmly believing that at least one of that role had to be evil. Spec Doc Dead Doc Evil Doc Thanks everyone for playing! See you in a few months!

I don't have it anymore. Though I have hired Kobold to make me a new one in exchange for my Vote. Still waiting for that Pony Kobold.

Np. I love to help people find a way to desecrate corpses. Wait, that came out wrong.

Not at all! My Lightwards headcannon follows the Necromancy system I developed for my books. Lightwards is sticking bits of his own Humanity inside the Zombies, that's why he can control them, since they are him, small parts of him. This also explains his corruption, since His reanimation is gifting his resurrection ability, he's actually growing corrupt from losing his own Humanity. He's making Spiritual Hemalurgic spikes with his own soul, to power Alice's body.
