Jo and the Bush

I can neither confirm nor deny that. A little less than 4 hours left in the cycle boys and girls, send in any last minute order, votes or proposals now!

Thwy cannot kill and convert the same cycle.

1 cycle scan. According to the rules, Librarians do not start with a list of Other Librarians. 1 in 16? I easily made a lot more than 16 role distributions. And then I choose the funniest one. I really would. Scenario 1: Were Bridge Boy and Sart Librarians? Scenario 2: All Roles are present in the game. (Are there variations of some roles? Are there secret roles? No Comment) Like Belkar, Sabanta doesn't understand Reptilian reproduction, and thus, cannot tell Dinosaur Genders apart.

The (3) is bolded for a reason

Cycle 2: Wow, that was Suspiciously Fast. Wow, So much happened guys. First off, I got called on to officiate a wedding! It was so Beautiful! Who new Detective Deuce was so good with Words! I was lucky enough to be around when he proposed to Celia, and man, it made my heart start to flutter. He said, Celica, hey baby, hey. I know this might sound a little crazy but hear me out. I've seen a lotta dollar dames come and go, and you've got the kind of eyes with bad news written on them like an Oculator of '29. But you and me, we got gold on the soles of our feet, baby- and all the angels in heaven decided to take a piss at the same time. Listen, I did a lot of gutter crawling back in teachie- and it's not getting any easier any time soon. Do you mind if I smoke? So yeah, that's why I put all my chips inside and out- no questions asked. Put your feet up a little, young lady- there's a man outside with typewriters in his pockets, he's blue but I'm not sure if he's jaded. Anyway, so listen up- this seven card gig is a hands down shake your knees and exit on your left kind of sideshow, but people like me don't cut another man's cards unless his jibs aren't inside the moon vehicle at all times. You got that? So here's the catch, I gotta runner down the shortcut to pipe city- but people like me don't go outdoors without an umbrella unless it's three days until christmas, know what I mean? Now I'm here on a concrete slab of wood floating down the margarita river, and I ain't got a shoebox to make it up the downstairs. So... What I'm trying to say is... Will you marry me, Celica?" And she said, I've come to a decision Deuce. I must follow my heart! And my heart is telling me to say yes! You're the only detective for me. Isn’t that adorable? I hope I find someone half as nice as him. Their wedding was a huge affair. Crystin knights, My cousins, Librarians, Astronauts and even a dinosaur were there. The biggest party I’ve been to in years! And absolutely perfect for striking up conversations with possible Hushlanders Unfortunately, i didn’t find one. But i found someone just as good! One of the people i talked to was actually in recruitment talks. They mentioned bringing me along, and i said yes, so i was brought to an actual agent, and they cleared me! I’m a Hushlander Agent now! But everything went down from there. Poor Squirrelmort, you know, the wizard? He got swept up in all the emotions of the wedding, and proposed to the girl of his dreams. But she said no! He was so heartbroken that he started crying right then and there, and hurried away from her. The girl also cried, but couldn’t quite explain why to the people who tried to comfort her. She got out just enough of the story to make them angry though, so they tracked down the poor squirrel, and shot him with a comastick! They all scattered before King Dartmoor arrived unfortunately. He can yell really loud when he wants to. Apparently Squirrelmort was a Close confident of his, and one of my cousins? (Can squirrels and Humans even be relatives?) Poor squirrely. So, King Dartmoor talked to the Crystin Knights, and the Council tried to hunt down whoever put the squirrel into a coma. They went through a lot of suspect, while i just followed them around. At one point they thought they found their man, when they met a person who was chucking books at someone’s head (They were ‘testing for librarians’ apparently.) But they moved on when they realized that Thomas the Occulator was no where to be found. Obviously, he’d fled the party after Squirrelmort got put into a Coma! So they kicked down his door, grabbed him before he could throw on a pair of glasses, and dragged him to their Crystal Spire, to be held as a Prisoner of War until the End of the war, or the world, whichever came last. Weirdest wedding I’ve ever been to. But hey, surely there won’t be any weirder ones. Right? Unodus and Lopen have gotten Married! Sart was Detained! He was a Freeworlder! Bridge Boy was Lynched!

Also, Cycle is over. Cycle 2: That was Suspiciously Fast will be up in an hour. Or possibly sooner.

Transgression forgiven. =P I will not say "A Player was Converted" But Sabanta will mention that she and a friend finally managed to defect, so read the writeups. Hints will be peppered throughout. Apologies, i meant to, but time got away from me. They all will from now on. Also, the rules post contains timers for the first three cycles.

No copy/pasting from the GM PM is allowed. Please don't go against the spirit of that rule. Please read Hero's BlueText. Marriages will be hard to miss, and identites of players will be announced.

Please include me in all PM's.

Cycle 1: Why are you on the List? Wow, I messed up baddly. So, I wrote down the 20 people i thought might be Hushlanders, right? And why i thought they might be. And then I accidentally lost the List. And then King Dartmoor picked it up. And now he’s starting a Librarian hunt, so all the people i pointed out are now under heavy suspicion. Right then Sabanta, keep your courage up. You can still do this, and now, you have the full weight of the king behind you, kind of. I mean, they’re looking for the Hushlanders to capture them, and I’m looking for them to join them, but if I piggy back on their investigation, i should be able to figure out who is a Hushlander before they get executed. Now then, who to start with first? I guess I better just observe the proceedings, and try to figure out from how they’re acting. Unfortunately, Sabanta Smedry And the game is afoot! Remember, anyone can get married, only 1 pm per cycle, no copy/pasting, and don’t trust people! Have fun! Player List: Bridge Boy (Squirrelmort) A Squirrel wearing glasses and wizard robes.

All PM's have been sent out! You may now start making PM's, sendng in orders, talking in Docs, or proposing to players. Remember, only 1 Pm per cycle, and no Copy/Pasting. The Cycle 1 Thread will open in a little under half an hour.

As i mentioned in the discord, Jedal is signng up, but now Signups are actually closed. I'm sending out PM's now. Game thread will open in 1 hour.

=P =P =P Yes, you both can. EDIT: Also, signups are now closed.

I will allow you to make two PM's on Cycle 2. One of them must be labeled Cycle 3, and can contain only the words <Not to be posted in until Cycle 3> 15 minutes of signups left.

You are not too late. You and Stick are both free to join the game. Anyone else?

Alright then. It turns out it’s more difficult to defect than I thought it would be. Knights of Crystalia have the Embassy under observation, and the Ambassadors are followed about anyway by Occulators. I can’t get close enough to them without coming under scrutiny. And leaving Nallhalla is a bust as well. I don’t have my own Glass Dragon to fly about in, and i don’t have the clearance to get a transporter’s box. So, I have to find an Undercover Librarian agent here in the Capital city, convince them I’m not a spy, and then do whatever it takes to get recruited. I’ve been thinking about who would be a good pick for the Hushlanders to secretly recruit, and I’ve made a list of likely candidates. The Crystin Council is on there, as are several of my cousins, some government officials, the Archives curator, and my favorite Hotdog Vendor. I saw a book in his cart, okay? He’s definitely a Librarian. I’m not quite done with the list yet though. I want to explore a bit more, figure out who else might be a Hushlander agent, before i start to approach people. Wish me Luck! Sabanta Smedry The game will be starting in exactly 13 hours. Signups will end 1 hour before that, and Pm’s will start to go out.Once PM’s go out, you will be allowed to post in any docs that may be included in your PM, and you may start your first PM of the game with another player.

If you don't make a pm on cycle 1, you can't make two pm's on cycle 2. Sorry, that should say impartial moderator. Not imperial. Wilson is the IM, which means if there are any disputes between the GM and a player, or if the GM needs help, she steps in.

Oh, wow, I did not realize how few votes were out there. to save my own skin, I'll toss a vote on Eolhondras, who hasn't received any votes this whole game, and on Sart since Orlok and voted on him earlier. sorry if either of you two can't take the hit, but i can't take a going on the horns hit.

. . . Right, he was. Eh, i think i have enough saved up to take the no complaining hit. Unless someone wants to volunteer, lol

I cannot prove that i didn't know when rollover was until after the game, but i did genuinely not realize Rollover was so soon. And you're right, i usually do trust you, but this game, i;m completely neutral towards you. And I'm playing differently than normal. and I apologized for voting on you. all of this is because I'm playing this game rather chaotically, without nearly the amount of time I'm used to having to play a game, plus I'm doing a bunch of writeups for QF23 in advance to prepare for it. So feel free to vote me, but I'm a student. Oh, and @queensteph i didn't respond to your pm because that would have put me at more PM's than posts, and i couldn't afford the tuition hike of doing so. Also, speaking of tuition, I'll toss a vote on Straw, since I still think he's hiding behind his charts and graphs.

Hmm, that is correct i suppose. I had not realized my elevation prevented me from being elevated in the other fields, possibly because i just didn't think about it. But the reast is wrong. I did not realize i was excluded from Straw's graph, and i have been trying to draw attention to him because i'm suspicious of him.

we're just looking at it differently i think. And I think you're way is closer to what Sart originally meant. I'm looking at it as being the Mews providing 2 points, or 16% of the necessary total, where as you're looking at it as just being the chance per round(?)

Well, you have to get to 12 to go insane, and staying in the mews provides 2 of that 12. 2/12 = 16 and some repeating 6's, so, 16%.

Well, you are mistaken about your numbers, but sart may also be. staying in the mews is 16%, not 10%, and not 20%. either way though, do we really want people revealing even hints about EP in thread?

No, lodging in the Mews grants +2 to insanity. that is what he admitted.
