Alright

TUO could quite easily just be trolling us all. I played a blackout game a while back where every single villager had a kill and an extra life.

We can't just work under this assumption.

Coffeecat. I said last cycle that it didn't make sense for Aeternum to be elim, and I stand by that. In particular, why would e!Aeternum claim golem last cycle while implying that at least one golem must be elim?

The reason they claimed golem is so that they could vote on the other golems. Elims want us villagers to exe the golems, so they can be then NKd. Thats how i would go about it.

I am both suspicious of Aet and Araris here. I do wonder if they aren't partners. this would be a very wild play but something that could come out of Araris. Claim Golem at the start so no one wants to vote him. then have their teammate claim as well in order to throw suspicion on the real town golem, who claimed before Aet. 

Its a bit tinfoily but it kinda works for me. for now. I'm following Lego here. Araris.

Im not even sure araris is really a golem. even an evil golem.

 

Xino is soft confirmed in my eyes. I wish they were not active than just

Nah you are doing good here. interacting with claims, acting on your suspicions. Trust yourself. I am leaning Village on you. but if you are evil i would say your teammate has to be Aet or Ash.

Ash

Hasn't been very active so i cant read ANYTHING. which is suspicions by itself. Don't know how to feel about them. I don't see why Aet immediately went for them though. 

Aet

Coffee kind of always reads as wolfy to me, if I'm remembering how I felt about her in the LG and the whatever the other game was, so I'm not sold on her flipping elim, and I think Ash is more likely an elim when I read back.

Sadly, i always read wolfy to everyone.

It seems their only reasoning for ash is: don't really suspect anyone else as much. which is fair enough.

However their pushiness and switching around left me with a sour taste in my mouth. They were sure one of the golems was Elim, but only for long enough to get RBM killed.

Coffee. (note this vote retraction is temporary and doesn't in any way reflect my suspicion of Coffee).

The problem with this logic is that it opens up Aet as the next exe. Logically, if at least one golem is elim, then anyone who claims to be a golem is placing themselves squarely in the POE. I think an argument can be made that even 2 village golems might be more than we'd expect, so e!Aet could just have voted on me for that reason without claiming to begin with. Also, the elims aren't going to NK the golems that survive the exe (most likely). They will leave those slots unresolved so that we have to waste a second exe on them. Especially if the POE of all golem claims contains an elim, like you are proposing it does. As an experienced elim, I can tell you that you never want to use the NK on someone who there is reasonable suspicion of (unless you can't avoid it due to a dangerous role or something similar).

[Aeternum they/them]

One of the Golems still can be and probably still has a high chance of having an e!Golem or elim fakeclaime there. We just don't have time to waste time flipping Golems.

[Ashbringer he/him]

Well, that didn't go well.

I have been busy with things, work, friends, but also I really... I don't know. I spent a good while and I thought I had some things figured out about this, but now I'm thinking I don't actually have things figured out at all, and I'm also thinking one of the things I may had figured out is something I should probably just not be talking about. (Edit: I'm being vague with this. Somewhat intentionally. Maybe someone's got the same hunch I do but I think what I've maybe figured out is something that shouldn't be spread around so freely.)

I still think something's off with Aet. But no one else seems to agree, and now I'm thinking I'm just seeing things that aren't there.

Idk. I'll check again in the morning; next cycle I hypothetically have more time but that's a pattern I get into too often, so I don't want to make a promise.

[Lego Mistborn he/him]

Wut. How many golems are there? My brain hurts.

[Aeternum they/them]

Did we get trolled by TUO

3 v 2 today, presumably lylo? Is it elims win on parity?

I think everyone should claim, honestly. Specifically, vote manip guy should claim.

---

Araris is confirmed Golem (1 life left), having survived the execution.

Ash is ???

Lego Mistborn claimed Golem (2 lives). Did you claim your gimmick yet, btw?

Coffeecat is ???

I'm a Golem (2 lives).

We have 3 Golem claims, 2 ???, one of which is the vote manip guy.

Araris/Coffeecat/Ash don't have an extra life unless we end up with another Golem claim there.

---

Going back to Lego Mistborn's idea again of tying votes for Golem claims, him saying that should be fairly confirmatory of him being a Golem (it's NAI, though).

Tying votes to elim more than one is a possibility, but not one I would do unless we were certain vote manip guy is town.

I have not, but I think someone, maybe cuffee? arrrrraris? said they thought they saw a possible gimmick.

Any guesses? It's:

spell nams or niknames wrong (except when voting)

 

[Araris Valerian he/him]

Well, I don't have to swap my vote around anymore. Turns out I wasn't lying about being a golem after all.

I'm still pretty confident in Coffee being an elim.

Why

Why so confident

I get that I haven't claimed yet, but i think claiming now would not be the play, for reasons.
In that regards, I will continue what I started

It’s 2 things; you’re not a golem, and you immediately jumped on Aet after RBM flipped village (though you seem to have backed off on that for some reason). And now that my role has been proven, I don’t think you have a coherent suspicion of me, since that was based on my role-claim being fake.

I’m betting on either Coffe/Lego or Coffee/Ash as the elim team. I suppose a WGG could have been pulled on Xino as well.

[Ashbringer he/him]

Xino's dead, Jim

 

Anyway. I think Lego is a golem; weirdly now, I don't think Aeternum is. Lego's, Araris's, and RBM's rules all seemed to be an always-on thing. Aet's claimed one is a once-per-cycle, do a thing that people sometimes just do anyway.

@Aeternum seems to be on the level so far, but I am curious, are you the Librarian?

(I was looking for another piece of evidence but with Xino fully dead I doubt we'll see it if it was there.)

[Aeternum they/them]

Nope, I'm a Golem.

That's actually why I was at first confused without everyone else's gimmicks, and wasn't really sure if their claims were real. Mine doesn't really impact the game much, I just have to have spoilers in spoilers at least once per cycle.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

I'm going to be occupied much of tomorrow, so it's doubtful if I'll have a chance to change my vote. Whoever is village, please vote. Even if you vote badly, I'd rather not have us all die from not doing anything. If someone has a better idea for an elim team than Coffee/Lego or Coffee/Ash, I'm all ears. Both Coffee and Lego have been tunneling me for a while, so if both of them are village we are hosed anyways.

[Aeternum they/them]

Coffee

[Ashbringer he/him]

Hmm.

Araris.

Up to Lego now, I suppose.

Hmmm, this is really tough, I'm going to go coffee. Hope this doesn't backfire.
