Also, inh, you talked me out of killing you when I planned to (after you called me scary), and DH talked me into killing him when I planned to try to work with him until the end, by making a big team full of all the people I was trying to remove.

The only way big threats will win a game like this is by not taking out all the other big threats. But I'm impressed with the Tranq/Speedchuck/Quin trio... well played.

You bastard.

Epignosis and Elohcin both randomly getting Metal. We thought they'd get Temp BTSC night 1 and started the first alliance
Glorfindel getting to be Holy. Perfect for that saint of a man.
Sprityo as Spirit. LOL Spirityo!

Blue Velvet mafia only needs a few more players.

How am I a massive threat? I targeted Glorfindel Night 1 and can't be lynched one time.

I targeted DH Night 2 and killed Wilgy.

I'm just playing the game- no more and no less than anybody else is. You're trying to make up "threatening" people to get others to do what they want. I'm not a threat. I'm the opposite of that. I'm someone who came in declaring that he would help someone else win. That person isn't on your little squad.

So hell yeah, I'm a threat to your squad. If I get night killed, so what? I'm used to that and have no control over that. What I don't want to see is your pissy little "Anybody can work with us but not really" team get an advantage over the outsiders.

But the outsiders are voting for other outsiders, so eh.
My "pissy little team" which you took instant offense to for no discernable reason other than petty spite, even though it wasn't targeting you, and you could have easily joined the damn alliance if you were that damn threatened by it, wasn't in direct conflict with you until you decided to start one.

Also, I feel like we have a difference of opinion. We both keep reiterating two opposite viewpoints.

I say the Alliance is open to everyone and only a threat to people who don't want to join.

You say that the Alliance is a closed-off aristocracy and force some weird "insiders, outsiders" dichotomy.

Since I'm actually in the Alliance, I feel like I know more than you about what it actually is. Yet, you keep on keeping on.

I hope it was worth tanking both yours and Elo's game in an effort to tank mine.
You're not tanking my game. My game is never tanked in LMS. I go in and do exactly what I want, every time, free from the constraints of worrying about good judgment.

And do you know what?

I have never once betrayed someone in LMS. Not once. I've always been straight with people.

So what does this mean, outsiders?

I have told you this much:

1. I am doing my best to ensure one person wins (everybody will assume that's Eloh, but it isn't- if she wins, great, but I don't go out of my way to help or hinder her in these).

2. I've already disclosed that the person I am working toward helping isn't in the clique.

Therefore, given all that, would you, outsiders, rather burn a lynch on me when you could be voting for the people I don't want to win? Wouldn't you rather force them to find a way to Night kill me instead of you?

The one difference between me and everybody else here is that I'm not here for myself, and I've demonstrated that every single LMS game I've ever participated in.

Yet I have more votes than INH, Mr. Manipulator.

Y'all have fun getting backstabbed. I'll be around to see some of it.

Earthbound Misfit

Schunk

Mediocrates blinked his eyes, his vision hazy. A sound had woken him up, a sound from the table in front of him. Schunk

Focusing his eyes, he could see one of the Earth elements, a small shovel in its hands, digging, while the other remaining elements stood around him, sombre and serious. The Earth element, named Bass, wiped angry tears from his rocky eyes, leaning in and digging deeper.

"It's time," said Holy. "My child, you go now to your final rest."

Bass shook his head, "No, it's, it's not deep enough," he looked around, desperate. "I can't-"

"And yet you must," intoned Psionic emotionlessly. Psionic focused on Bass' mind, taking control and soothing him. "Fill it in."

Bass complied, as he had to, shovelling loads of Earth back into the grave he had just dug. Soon, the grave was full again, full of Earth that comprised his body, in a shallow patch of ground that was also Bass. Gravesite, grave, and corpse all in one body, the first Earth silently passed on.

Bass_the_Clever has been lynched. He was Earth.

It is now Night 5.

RIP Numbah 2

Hey you know where you could vote.

To sign up for Blue Velvet Mafia

Spirit in the Sky

Mediocrates felt as though he were sitting around a fire with the remaining elements, though the fire cast little light. The mood was sombre, as though a grave decision had been made.

As the alchemist watched, the last Spirit sample stepped forward, into the fire. As its form was consumed, it dissolved into many coloured wisps of light, that swirled up into the darkness above.

Glorfindel has been lynched. He was Spirit.

It is now Night 4. You have 23 hours to send in your night actions.

DharmaHelper has been killed! He was Darkness.

S~V~S has been killed by nutella! She was also Darkness.

Golden has been killed! He was Water.

Jackofhearts2005 has been killed! He was Light.

DrWilgy has been killed! He was Air.

Wow you guys wanna know another game where INH will be off the poll?

Blue Velvet Mafia now in sign ups

No, no. I'll vote for myself before I permit that.
Why?
Because Epi and Elo are in an alliance.

Say what you will about us, but at least we're honest about working together.
I have never been in an alliance with her in LMS. My policy with her is always the same: If she wins, great- I won't help or hinder her unless I must.

I hope your faction turns out you.

Prison Rules?

I've joined alliances before and they're all hogwash. No one keeps to them ever. It's all BS

Also I'm down with the fact you don't have to vote to see the results of a poll

Whoever killed me... I think you're going to regret it.

And now, I shall also probably be on hiatus. But I'll be around, ooooh I'll be around

I should've known. Any time I have to stay up late to see an LC post he kills me

1.
express one's opinions in a way considered annoyingly pompous and dogmatic.
You should be lynched simply for that.

Thank you for pontificating that.

Elohcin wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2017 7:26 pm I chose you last night, DH.

What would you like from me?

I dunno. Thanks for mixing with me though, I hope whatever power it gave you was good.

If I think of something I'll let you know.

Not a lot really. Wondering how you're going to pay me back for saving you.

What a quiet, boring night. We're gonna need to have a fun Day 3 to make up for this

I need nothing right now, but I am curious. Will you be looking for info? IOUs? Favors? SSNs? Beer?

Anything you feel like offering up, we'll take.

Hey man, I suppose that's down to how badly you need my help.

My whole goal here (I can't speak for those who've joined up) Is "you all go to war and leave me out of it. I'll only help you if you can provide for me." Nobody is in my direct crosshairs.

nutella wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2017 3:07 pm Damn, looks like I missed my chance. Guess I'm dead meat.

What gives you that idea?

Alrighty I'm thinkin' ~8 is a good number. Applications are closed. We'll now be taking offers for our services.

I like this squad. I'll save Quin a spot in the batting cage.

You get extra points for the visual, Jack

Oh rule #5 is sign up for Blue Velvet Mafia so we can play that this year.

Bass_the_Clever wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2017 12:32 pm Sounds like the offer I was waiting for

I knew you'd be ready to rock.

OK Everybody, gather 'round and buckle up cuz I got some shit to get off my chest. This whole Day 2 thing was a pretty fun romp, but more important than that you folks stirred me from my slumber and now I'm ready to rock and roll. I was gonna play this game as a free agent, at the service of whomever needed me enough to offer me a good deal in exchange, but something about the wacky Day 2 shenanigans reminded me that I don't play second fiddle very well.

And so here we are, Night 2 and I'm ready to stretch my legs a bit. But quite obviously "King Negan" will not work here in this format as well as it did in Survivor.It just isn't feasible. And so I've been forced to adapt a new, evolved form of the Negan strategy. I Thought to myself: "Self, what's better than one mercenary, one bounty hunter, one gun for hire?" In short "What's better than one Negan?"

And so there I sat, pontificating this great quandary, when the answer smacked me 'cross the dome like good ol' Lucille herself. I present for your consideration the following terms:

This, it seems to me, will quickly and in short order become a game of factions. I think even after Day 2 we can all see faint lines in the sand. Negan's not interested in that bullshit. I just want a good time, and maybe a few friends for Lucille along the way. And so I make this one time offer to any similarly inclined parties: Join the Saviors. Be Negan with me. Hold allegiance only to those strong enough to earn it.

I understand, previously, I've had varying levels of such an agreement with some of you, but now's the time to put that shit in writing. Shake off your prior alliances, agreements, pacts and promises. Swear loyalty to Negan. Be Negan.

Now, with all that said, I got a few rules that I just gotta lay out here for any interested parties:

1. Rule numero uno, above all other rules: Saviors don't work for free. We'll put our weight behind the best offer.
2. Ape no kill Ape. Anyone who takes this deal is protected by it from any other takers.
3. No offer, great or small, will ever be enough for me (and by extension any of the Saviors) to turn on, provoke, or otherwise interfere with SVS.
4. Any member of this pact has an equal say in the actions take by the pact.

As noted above this is a one time offer. You're either in or you're not. So, who wants to have a little fun?

S~V~S wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2017 6:17 am Does anyone in here have a block tonight? If so could y'all block me? Alternatively, if you have a protection, could you use it on Epignosis? I would like to cover all bases. I would especially appreciate it if if you did so, you would be willing to state that tomorrow should it come up.

I have the feeling a very bad thing is going to happen tonight, and I think I am being set up as it's perpetrator. So I want to put this out there, maybe I am being paranoid, but it is what it is.

I think you overestimate how big a deal that'd be.

Fortunately this hasn't come up yet but I'm gonna put it out there in case people are considering these sorts of things during decision makiing:

I am not a snitch.

By the way, if you're still taking buddy buddy applications, I'd like to work with you.

Negan's always got room.

Oh you believed he actually had information Daisy? Hah.

Sprityo and Sorsha -

Rest in Peace amigos. You're both pretty fun to play with.

All told I feel pretty decent about that day phase.

I don't know why you ask me about my intentions at Night, as though I can vote for anybody.

Whom are you killing?

I didn't ask who you intend to vote for.

I won't kill anyone tonight.

Honestly I'm surprised there wasn't more death.

Epignosis are you serious about the Gentlemen's Agreement?

I bet like six people picked the element that kills them.

I ache for the day I can just vote once.

I'll remove my vote on Glorfindel if they get in any danger.

It would be funny if Sorsha/Sprityo were tied for 1st and Epi/Glorf were tied for second.

Better safe than sorry. You get my Epi vote, Nutella

See I was gonna leave my votes alone till end of day but then Nutella went and voted SVS.
