Marmot isn't here...

So, I'll be marmot.

I randomised and I'm voting Dom or being shifty, k?
I wanted to be marmot.

LMS = Last Marmot Standing

S~V~S wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2017 8:52 am Any thoughts on Bass' question; do you see and benefits or drawbacks to sharing info about our roles etc?

I think prefer not to, especially this early without having discussed it. But I do know that discussing things like this is something LC likes to do himself when he plays, so I am open to sharing if people present good reasons for it.

This early in the game i'm not sure if there's any benefit in doing so. It would make for a boring couple of lynches, knowing everyone's role already. I like the Element of Surprise

Sorsha, are you saying players shouldn't combine their element with yours?

Who would this be?

Black Rock wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2017 10:20 am Just a small host announcement. Day 1 is set to 48 hours because we were still waiting for people to show up. If all votes are in and everyone is fine with their final vote then we will shorten the day. All days after this will be 24 hours.

nutella wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2017 12:49 am I'm pretty in favor of lynching somebody. Like I sort of understand the sentiment behind wanting to let everyone get through one phase and combine their element, but for the sake of my own interests, it's LMS so I just want to go ahead and start eliminating other players. No lynch just drags out the process. Delays the carnage if you will.

I agree with this. Voting No Lynch in a LMS game is like lynching a civ while playing as a civ - it doesn't help you at all. It's the opposite of what your role is trying to accomplish.

He knows he will have to betray anyone he aligns with eventually and that goes against what he values, so he won't make any alliances. At least that is what I gather from what he said.

Glorfindel, is this a correct summary of your thought process in this game?

Since votes are changeable, i'll place one on SVS for now. Enough with this No Lynch nonsense

I have to confess that I could not have expressed my attitude to this game anymore eloquently than SD did right there. I refuse to formally bind my vote into an alliance with people for whom I have a great deal of respect only to betray them later in the game.

I understand. However, given the nature of this game, can you tell us why anyone should want to keep you alive, knowing there's no chance you would ever side with them?

That's not what i asked, though you provide an answer in your response. To be clear: you are willing to share information and openly make deals with players - but not make an alliance that lasts until the end of the game?

What better way to "don't get murdered" than lynching someone who may end up murdering you?

Well, good for you

Unless you can compel a majority to move from No Lynch, it's probably a waste of time to vote. But you do you.

Let's try it. As i said, i'd rather lynch someone than no one. I'll switch my vote from SVS to Sig, going with the low poster angle. This game started on saturday and it is now tuesday. Only 1 post. A good enough reason to vote for anyone in any game.

insertnamehere wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2017 11:05 pm Well, shit.

Can we assume that every element has another certain element that will kill it?

That makes things complicated. I probably should not have revealed my element.

Water extinguishing Fire makes sense. You are Earth, right? What's the counterpart to Earth? Air? Maybe the other Air could target you next and see what happens.

Not Fire.

Looks like i won't learn anything useful tonight...

He seemed to imply that he's not psionic, but I don't necessarily think he implied that he's not the same element as that person, because how would he even know that -- presumably he doesn't know the element of the person who targeted him, he was just given the btsc link -- so Golden's hunch could be true if they're both something other than Psionic. But I think it's more likely that the targeter was Psionic, partially because I know that when my element pairs with Psionic I gain a message sending ability so it would make sense for another Psionic combination to create btsc.

Would you get a message sending ability to anyone you want, or would the message go to the Psionic player?

speedchuck: do you have BTSC with a random player, or is it with the player responsible for giving you BTSC?

Nice try burny mcburnypants.

What does this mean?

I am considering a DharmaHelper vote if he's serious about wanting No Lynch again.

There's also something to be said about DrWilgy's idea to lynch our doppelgangers. But, how would one even start with that?

Golden wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2017 5:03 am Why do you think lynching our doppelgangers would be a good idea? Is there some suggestion of a benefit to it?

I have a feeling some might be beneficial, and some might kill the other or steal their power the moment they find each other.

Quin, do you think sprityo cursed you?

It's a feeling. Feels like something i could see happening in a BR/LC game.

If you're asking me if i checked my doppelganger or fused with mine, the answer is no.

Looks like you're right. The Darkness + Spirit combo caused this double lynch. The host post also indicates an Air + Earth tussle.

I have no idea

sprityo, the host post pretty clearly spells it out:

Deadly Reactions

Mediocrates narrowed his eyes - what was Darkness up to? Shifting and slithering, he never fully trusted the black element, sometimes quite visible, but sometimes he wondered if he could see it at all. The Darkness seemed to be coalescing around Spirit, who watched, stoic and serene.

As the two elements mixed and blurred, dark violet tendrils snaked out across the table, striking the hearts of the other elements. Mediocrates could sense the level of wrath becoming slightly elevated, and he knew, on a primal level, that there would be more death today than there might have been. Perhaps not as much as yesterday - those poor flames, burned out so quickly!

According to the player, they got the ability from targeting, then decided to target me for whatever reason. My ability from last night was similar to that. I also targeted a player, got an ability, then targeted others.
We had a good little chat (and by little, I do mean LITTLE. I wasn't even around at the same time as them, thanks to my workplace blocking chatzy.)
We have 1 of either 100 or 55 (depending on whether x+y = y+x) combinations that could have caused it, and I'm not certain my own element was involved.

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining

Sure, i'll be your friend. I have no reason to vote for you

Why do you think Sorsha is your double? Do bad things happen to you if combined with Darkness?

Her color!

Idk. Should I know?

Sorsha mentioned Darkness being bad for her. I figured if you think she's your double, maybe that's why.

I think that the most obvious answer is already obvious enough. If you don't come up with the right answer on your own, then maybe you are the kind of guy who likes surprises!
Personally I was thinking on this. I'm interpreting it as even if no lynch gets majority, the other two are still lynched. Since no lynch is not a player.

That sounds right correct? Otherwise why give us three votes?

It does appear to read that way

Well, how do you interpret it?

But LC said this:

Long Con wrote: ↑Wed May 24, 2017 11:01 pm
the top two voted players will be lynched.

and "no lynch" is not a player.

What do you see happening if No Lynch gets most votes? Nobody lynched at all, or only the 2nd most voted lynched?

DH: So you'd be comfortable having the 2nd most votes if it means No Lynch has the most votes?

But what if i'm the element that would have been mission critical to your success?

If that's true i would've voted for you already. I haven't. I just think your constant no lynching talk is silly

Why do you want people to vote for you?

That's disappointing. I expected a self-vote since you're sure nobody will get lynched

I'll vote in a couple of hours. Let's see what happens between now and then.

INH: It's ok. I was just having a bit of fun with you revealing your element. I wouldn't mind mixing mine with yours in the future

...for science, i assume?

I'd rather see someone other than Golden lynched if possible.

sprityo wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2017 3:30 pm I messed that up. But it's right now, no lynch, quin, tranq

Nothing against you tranq I'll probably change it later though when votes get interesting

I can be your new friend

Switching votes is fun and all though not ideal when the lynch ends 5am my time.

Yes.

Is the information you have related to your vote for Jackofhearts2005? I noticed he voted for me.

I'll place my votes for now:

A vote for Negan. Say no to bullies!
A vote for Sorsha. Because she is in the lead and apparently gained an advantage last night.
A vote for Jackofhearts2005 because Quin says so.

These may change in a couple of hours, or even in a couple of minutes!

Apparently, I am purple.

I'm guessing the purple moon symbol means darkness, counter to the yellow sun which has to mean light. Jack, are you Darkness?

linki: by moving your vote away from me

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2017 4:27 pm Who would you like us to vote for Tranq? I'm not really that into any of my votes and 2/3rds of them were jokes anyhow.

Well, giving how quick votes have been changing, i'm not sure. When in doubt, go with a no-show?

@ DH: Move yours away from me and i'll move mine

@ Jack: I believe this is our first game together? I wouldn't mind hearing more from you aswell.

Ideally, i wouldn't mind lynching another no-show today. It's still early in the game after all.

Alternatively, everyone could vote Negan and end his evil reign before he finds that mission critical element he seeks.

I see sprityo received a couple of votes. I have no beef with him. I'll leave my votes as they are now and try to check in before lynch ends.

So 10 new pages after i went to sleep. This will be fun.

It's a better plan than your last one. I'll follow the doctor. I'm in.
