Long Game 11: Twinborn Village

[Alvron he/him]

I also slept during the night so my vote counted.  Which if my tally is right means that there was at least three rioters and one soother active last round.  Meta and Araris were rioted onto me, Maill rioted to Nicroburst and either Bort or myself soothed.  Was anyone else soothed?  Or did you all just not sleep?

[Bort he/him]

I would also like to add that if I was soothed, it was with an enhanced soothing. I know for fact that there was a coppercloud up in my location.

Karlin sighed and slumped down onto his bedroll, his eyes adorned with the heavy bags granted by his current fit of insomnia. It appeared that the spiked had been active the last few nights. "I can't sleep tonight" he reminded himself "there's to much to do" he groaned as he slipped into a unshakable slumber.  One nights rest wouldn't be to dangerous, right? 

 

Say can we have a player list for this round?

Well, if you'd like me to, then ok:

 

"Can we have a player list for this round?"

Arg have your upvote, but I'm not happy about this.

[Aonar he/him]

An Extension has been requested! You now have twenty four more hours to get your actions in. Actions must be in by 11:00PM CDT Tuesday, and the Night will end at 10:00PM on Wednesday.

[Sart he/him]

Someone had to bite the bullet. Someone had to save the town. Acer Tuy was not that man.

 

Acer Tuy was, quite frankly, a drunk. His amphibian hatchery, while a good source of protein in the caves, didn't require much work to run. While he waited for the frogs to hatch, he drank away the previous month's profits. He didn't like talking about what he did before he was a drunk. He didn't like thinking about her. He was strong back then. Now, he was a wasting away.

 

When he woke from his drunken stupor, he found that people were accusing him of being spiked. He wasn't sure what day it was, although he knew he had one hell of a nasty headache. He found it hard to focus on the debate, although several names were being tossed about. Eventually, they had decided to lynch him. He thought about letting them do it. He didn't have anything to live for, so why even bother. Something stopped him though. It wouldn't be what she wanted. She wouldn't want the town to collapse in on its itself. She wouldn't want him to die. He started to say something, burped, and then tried to form a coherent sentence.

 

"It's that jailor, Jailre. He's, like, always arresting people, and, uh, that's so, suspicious. I'm a gonna go over there, and teach him a lesson. Yes sir, those spiked will rue the day they messed with Acer Tuy!"

 

He couldn't actually believe the town fell for his shoddy reasoning. He later learned that the jailor had mysteriously vanished, but still, he was shocked that he was still in one piece. Still, now he had a threat to follow up on. He had said he was going to kill the jailor. He didn't know if the jailor was Spiked. He didn't want to kill him. Still, the town would turn on him if he didn't follow through on his threat. He had to set a precedent. He grabbed his bottle, and set off for the jail. He just wished he knew what the jailor was thinking, running of in a time of crisis. Still, there was no point in idle speculation This night was going to have a bloody end.

 

Jaelre, if you're reading this, please respond to the thread. I know you've been browsing the site recently. I don't want to have to kill you, but I don't want to get lynched. You just seem like the best target right now, because of your inactivity. If you become active again, I can spare your life, and the village will have another contributing member.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

I have moments like that too. 

[Newan he/him]

Just so you all know, the write up may be late. (I know you're all very surprised.)

[Araris Valerian he/him]

I feel like I have Atium, since I don't have a PM that says I'm dead but I received a PM from another player that seems to indicated that I am dead. Can I do things until I actually get declared dead?

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

Okay, I don't want to push, but how late is 'late'? 

 

Because this is pretty late. Does the Day still end in 24 hours?

[neodymium]

Ataris, until they tell you that you're dead, I'd say you're alive. Who PM'd you and how do they know you're dead?

[Aonar he/him]

Okay, I don't want to push, but how late is 'late'?

Late is however long it takes to get the write-up out after the day ends. In all seriousness though, we weren't expecting it to run anywhere near this late. Sorry.

 

No. The day will end as close as possible to 48 hours after PMs are sent out, preserving regular write-up times.

 

Results coming momentarily, so you can continue with lynching and discussion. I don't know when I'll be able to do the write up proper though.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

Somebody, I won't say who, did a super duper tin scan and I didn't show up in it anywhere.

[Aonar he/him]

[Write-up to be edited in, eventually.]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

D'wag was killed! He was a Cadmium/Zinc Twinborn!

 

Mayor Gund was killed to charge a spike! He was a Trellist Conspirator!

Drell was killed to charge a spike! He was a Seedy Information Dealer!

 

Nine Pretty Cool Items have been found, and one Awesome item!

 

Items:

 

A1: Awesome          B1: Awesome         C1: Awesome

 

A2: Pretty Cool        B2: Pretty Cool       C2: Awesome

 

A3: Awesome          B3: Awesome         C3: Awesome

 

The day will end roughly 48 hours after PMs are sent out, unless an extension is called. (Most likely 10:00PM CDT Saturday or Sunday.) PMs will be sent out as soon as possible.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

I'm Alive!

[Lord Pifferdoo he/him]

I'm Alive!

 

I am so alive

And I feed on the fear that's behind your eyes

[Mailliw73 he/him]

A feruchemical zinc twinborn?! Storms, that isn't good. The chances of us having another one are very slim. I hope he managed to gather a bit of a trusted team before he died. Only one death though, that's not too bad. Araris, I'd like you to explain what your posts during the night cycle were all about.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

I was in school and my class wasn't doing anything. I also wrote a ketek, but it didn't make it into that post. I just needed a block of text to hide some capital letters in. The thing about me being dead was a GM error that has been corrected; they knew I was alive but skipped over my name at some point.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

Ok, so nobody has been saying anything. I'm assuming that is because people are waiting for their PMs, which is fine, and I am still waiting as well. But there is only so much daylight left, and we need to start some discussion. As I have said, there was a scan done last night that revealed a lot of information. In the interests of protecting the person that did that scan, I can give a little info. Nicroburst , there is some serious evidence implicating you as a potential spiked.

[twelfthrootoftwo]

It looks like the game is happening largely in PMs

 

If there were no other (unsuccessful) attacks on PCs, we can probably assume that Vine was killed by the Spiked. It could have been just a lucky hit, but perhaps they knew his power. Ostrich, any ideas? Vine scanned you, so presumably you've been in contact with his circle and hence might have some leads.

 

 

 

"So there are people...somewhere out there -" Kirrah waved towards the sky "- who can draw on the air and their drawings will spontaneously make magical -"

 

"I've explained this five times already."

 

"And I still don't believe you! The very idea is just ridiculous. I mean, you could just -"

 

"No more ridiculous than ingesting and oxidizing metals to perform magic, wouldn't you say?" Lord Ostrich was clearly fed up with her confusion.

 

"Of course not. I can burn metal myself, and so can every-"

 

"Social norms are irrelevant! And if you want any further information from me, you will accept that your understanding of the world is limited."

 

"But if -"

 

"No."

 

Kirrah rolled her eyes as Lord Ostrich bent over her sketch, laid out on the ground. "I hope you've got an explanation for floating balls of light too, or you're just as -"

 

"That would be a Seon."

 

"A what?" He waved a hand at her, evidently reluctant to try and explain yet another strange concept. "Fine. Well, this thing -" she nudged the paper with her foot "- is an Aon. So what's new about it? And what kind of magic does it do, anyway? I still think the "new Aon" is a machine, that had to be replaced or something. We don't get new metals, if you're comparing -"

 

"Are you this rude to everyone who offers to help you!?" Kirrah closed her mouth, and when she didn't respond, he sighed. "It's either recently discovered or recently created. And it's... only been known for, perhaps, seven years?"

 

His demeanour had changed. The certainty and superiority in knowledge had left, leaving him only a little more sure of himself than she was. "You don't sound like you actually know."

 

"I used to. Of that I am sure. But there is a hole in my memory, before I took up residence in Twinborn Village. Your image of the new Aon kindled some familiarity, and I suspect my experience then was not dissimilar to your circumstances a few days ago. And that, I believe, is its purpose."

 

He pulled out a handkerchief - bright red, she noted with amusement - before continuing. "There are still questions to be answered, such as how it works so far from Elantris and where the Elantrian who drew it is." And, you know, what they want, what else they can do, how we can stop them...she mentally added. "Nevertheless, I am certain that your general form of the new Aon is incorrect." He looked intently at the paper. "Turn dark where my finger touches you."

 

He began carefully running his finger over the paper, and black marks appeared to hold the line he drew. His other hand still held the handkerchief, which Kirrah was now amazed to see had turned a dull grey. Lord Ostrich seemed to think very little of it, though; when he finished drawing, he stood, casting it aside without a second glance.

 

Kirrah considered the new sketch. "Huh. Three by three, just like the Village."

 

"...Yes," he agreed, in a much darker tone. "Just like the Village."

[Metacognition he/him]

Whomever is charging Spikes, please be careful with them! I know everyone would like to have additional powers, but you could also wind up as a Spiked! Unless that's your intent, which then I wouldn't count you as a Villager anyways. 

 

I'd like to hear from Jaelre. Sart calling him out the other day seems a bit too random to me. There's something there that doesn't add up for Sart to be so focused on him (to the point of wanting to kill him during the night even!), so I'd like to hear what he has to say in his defense. 

 

EDIT: And I agree with Twelve, we need more discussion here. Could the GMs please let us know when all PMs have been sent out? That way, we know when everyone knows what happened to them the night before?

Kal-dellexe.  I felt like voting for someone even if they don't exist in this game.

 

Voting for people isn't really a smart thing for kandra to do if they don't want any enemies.

 

As many of you may know, I am a kandra.  I don't want to hurt you, but I do want some dinosaur bones.  Maybe from AC?  Anyway, that's why I haven't been voting so much,  Probably most, if not all, of you knew I was a Kandra, so I'll come up as a hemalurgist during searches.  I don't think anyone else has claimed being a kandra to the whole thread, so I hope you will all take this well and that I'll be able to survive the game (as that is my goal).

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

Sart said that he didn't really have a reason for choosing Jaelre, apart from that he was inactive. He was even willing to call the attack off, if Jaelre would just start posting.

 

That said, it is suspicious that Jaelre has ignored every attempt Sart and I made to contact him and save him. Plus, I assume that Sart went through with the attack, but I don't see a dead Jaelre anywhere. That tells me that, posting or not, he has been playing this game. So why won't he talk to us? Jaelre, I still want an answer out of you.

 

I have other directions to look into, though. Alvron, you were the first to put a vote on Sart. Now, I did the same (although I later removed it), so I'm not saying that that alone is suspicious.

 

However, that vote was your first major public action this game. What about Sart made you suddenly decide that now was the time to act? I mean, Sart was just as inactive on every other day of the game. So why now?
