If only everyone in this game could control the lynch like you apparently can. What would you have me do? Change my vote and then get pelted with reasons to change it again? It’s a big tug of war between who to lynch and I’m just here trying to do what I think. There’s no confirmation they stole Odium. But because they are a secret role that we know of we’re lynching them. And even they can steal Shards, then yeah, I’m more than a little worried about that. But then if I change my vote guess what? Now I’m a flip-flopper and then everyone who wants to lynch Chameleon is going to give me reasons to change back. So I’ve stated the reasons I’m lynching Chameleon, not because I’ve got anything against Chameleon, but because I’ve been in positions where I’ve been a secret role and people have falsely accused me of things, and gotten me lynched. It’s not fun. I’m lynching then not because they voted for Axolotl, but because the lynch has turned into them vs. Axolotl And I’ve stated why I support the latter.

Indigo Weasel Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I've been in the same situation. But in my case, I didn't openly lie or deceive others. And my role's wincon wasn't nearly incompatible to every other wincon. And we don't know it's only on a lynch. Maybe they target someone, and if they are a Shard, it is stolen.

Ivory Dragonfly Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 It looks like I've missed a lot. We've engaged in the blasphemy of discussing the lynch more than six hours in advance. 16 hours ago, Quartz Zebra said: He has apparently claimed it himself, as Dragonfly, who looks to have allied with Axolotl to gain Odium (as evidenced by their vote), let that slip. And so has Heron, looking back at things. So by the admission of two people who are presumably allied with Axolotl, he definitely has Odium. Weasel made a claim about Shard-passing that presupposed Axolotl was Odium. I could have said something along the lines of 'lynching Odium wouldn't prevent the Shard from passing to a player of Odium's choice, but instead I addressed the factual errors of that claim using Weasel's assumption to save time. Heron definitely seemed more sure that Axolotl possessed Odium in their most recent post as opposed to their previous one, though Axolotl still denies possessing Odium. 10 hours ago, Emerald Falcon said: I'm a little lost, but my sources tell me that you tried to kill me, Axolotl. I don't appreciate the effort... This could be condemning, if true. I don't see how you could say this for sure though unless Axolotl confessed to someone. The closest evidence I can think of is a combination of Falcon being attacked and a Truthwatch scan showing that Axolotl targeted Falcon. That would still be pretty suspicious if Falcon and Axolotl are on different planets, as only Shards, Researchers, and Elantrians can target off-planet, but not conclusive proof of murderous intent. 2 hours ago, Violet Axolotl said: B. Flailing? That’s a good word. Not for this situation, though, since if I was desperate, I’d be pulling out more stops. Im not actually worried about the lynch, im just trying to help people recognize the point the faction war before they’re destroyed by backstabbers who distracted them. Once again, I’m sure every faction has an Elantrian or cultivation or can arrange for communication. If you are willing to reach out that way, I can answer more questions and pay up with currency. Would some of those stops include revealing information in thread? If you would answer questions in an Elantrian or 1-on-1 Cultivation PM no matter who sent the message, you can afford to spill a few secrets to everyone. To start with, why did Heron claim that you were Hoid and Odium's Vessel with markedly increased surety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And frankly, I don't know why you're hyping up this faction war stuff. If there's a war going on between factions, I sure haven't noticed. Other than being killed, but that was because I was stupid. Well you may want to read the rules to the game again. There’s only ever been a war going on. 1 hour ago, Saffron Iguana said: Even if he passed the Shard this turn we will still be told if he had Odium.

It would include more information than you’d want. I wouldn’t answer any and all questions to just anyone in a one on one PM. You just have a better shot in that. About Heron, I have no idea.

Indigo Weasel Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 So if revealing all your information would decrease the net win percentage of anyone that wasn't you, wouldn't it be BENEFICIAL for you to reveal everything you know?

Indigo Weasel Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 If all win percentages drop, the percentage would be less than 100 percent total. SOMEONE has to benefit. And personally, unless you're a doc spy, I think I would be one of those benefiting. And maybe even then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have stated that you have 2 actions, so I personally believe that you are an equivalent of a shard for your faction. Your death would therefore be hurting your faction by preventing them from having a powerful shard equivalent role, making it harder to achieve at least the default win conditions, and likely your factions special wincons.

Sapphire Elephant Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Ah! Time is running out and I haven't voted yet, and I don't really know what to do, but uhh... Axolotl Hopefully that works! I'm sorry if you're innocent... But I think everyone this game is innocient, and apparently you're less innocient than others? Maybe more innocient. I feel kinda bad because I haven't done much, and I want to participate more so hopefully this is a step in the right direction. Also, Sorry GMs!

Magenta Albatross Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Well then. I'd like to say I called it, or something self-agrandizing like that, but basically the only reason I voted against Axolotl in the end was a contractual obligation that didn't even involve him, only the lynch alternative. Good job to those figuring him out though. Now could anyone please explain how they knew he was Hoid and had Odium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
