The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) (Cont. from here) She did not get it this time. Or the next three times. At that point, Pyria decided to head back to the Castle. Sure, no one would probably notice that she wasn't tucked away exactly where she was supposed to be, but everyone was always so careful when it came to these big meetings, making sure the normal people was far away from the interesting stuff. Oh, sure, sometimes it was boring, but other times the Champions would talk about what they'd been doing, and they always had cool stories. Not that Pyria had any idea what they might be talking about during those meetings. Nope. Not her. ...okay, she had SOME idea. But today's meeting was especially rushed, which meant that Pyria didn't have the chance to get herself into place beforehand. Which was why she decided to practice. --- Eventually, Pyria navigated her way back to the castle. Getting in and out was tricky, but made easier by the fact that like, ALL the guards were around the really important rooms or the meeting area. Also, no one ever bothered to check the little bracing-ledges under the bridge except for spiders. "Hello spiders," Pyria whispered to them. Then she waved. Of course, it would be a lot harder to get in and out if it weren't for a certain corner with some loose bricks that Pyria could remove to juuust about squeeze through into some old animal den, which led... ...Oh. Someone was walking towards her. Pyria couldn't exactly get away, with her head just peeking through a gap at the base of the wall, so she laid her face flat against the ground and pretended to be a very hairy rock. (open to anyone) EDIT: Yes, I did get myself out of a plot hole by getting Pyria stuck in a literal hole. No, this was not intentional. Yes, I had to rewrite this extensively after looking at the map of hyrule castle and realizing that it's really really hard to get into.

Devotary of Spontaneity Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Eleven pages and I'm not sure what's actually happened. Most of the rule based discussion was in my first post, except that tireless frogs apparently do allow you to take two of the same action, which makes Beedle even less likely to be an elim. Person wise, I think Archer's not likely to be evil given a village Beedle. I remember Pyro as being more aggressive/post heavy as an elim. I feel Kas is evil on principle for fake statistical reasons, as opposed to any actual realities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one there was an incentive for posting a lot, espeeeccciiaally D1, and the second I outed myself as an elim intentionally to then get the whole game to focus on that game's Sk which was kinda like the scum in this game, and was one kill from winning, so I NEEDED to keep people discussing the SK or else they might kill me. (Also, people ALWAYS forget that it was the VILLAGE that betrayed the SCUM that game, not the other way around.) So yeah, it can happen, I just need a reason.

Ashbringer he/him Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Archer had a vote on Steel until about 20 minutes before Kas added his. So... maybe that's what Mat meant? That is unusual to see swaps like that, but more like the Illwei-unusual of "this is rare to see, ever" than "this seems like Elim behavior". Then again, that's still not much of a train. I've got a null on both Steel and Pyro... I'll hold to my statement of breaking a tie if need to, but for now I'll stay out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasimir he/him Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) Hmm. Been playing my thoughts a little close to hand. I'll drop some of my cards now but not all, probably because I don't like where discussion has stopped, and I suppose just in case. I guess I also don't like to go into a lynch completely silent. ( @Illwei Don't @ me Eiwlil I did analysis in LG73, even at the start, just not very much. I'm not gonna delve deep, I'm chilling.) Archer is a slight Village trust for me simply because I don't find much of a reason for an Elim to offer the Zelda plan he did. Put it simply: assume Archer is right about Village Beedle. (I do and have generally agreed Beedle is likely to be Village; however, I still retain 0.1 confidence that Beedle is Evil though - I don't like to rule things out like this. It's just the way I run possibilities and I'm not interested in fighting more about it.) On the assumption Beedle is Village, the Elims would know this. Elim Archer might feel okay strategising and pointing out that Beedle is likely to be Village but aggressively pushing that plan doesn't benefit them. It benefits the Village a little, so that's a slight Village trust since he has no reason to do that. I say slight because this is D1, and for reasons that will pertain to Pyro, namely: I don't actually think this plan is super awesome, and proposing plans don't matter because you're ultimately at the mercy of whether the Village will go with it or not (MR3, LG73.) [Note that if Beedle is Evil, then this isn't as strong a reason to think Archer is possibly Village, so that's another reason I say slight trust. Hedging my bets.] Pyro and Eiwlil ring similar alarm bells from me, starting from the insistence that Elims would insist Beedle is likely to be Evil. I don't really think so; I don't rule out that at least one of the 'Beedle is Evil' people is likely Evil, but come on. This is SE, people have different risk tolerance and certainty levels, and we've seen enough troll GM distributions to know that not everyone is comfortable with confident statements on distros. For another, to me, that's the most suicidal place for an Elim to camp given the mood of the room. They're better off demurring or simply changing the topic, refusing to say much on Beedle, or so on. For that reason, I'm actually more suspicious of those who came in after Archer to agree but not substantially add to what Archer said on Beedle - to an Elim, you might as well collect Village credit since the genie has already been let out of the bottle - Pyro fits that profile. Illwei's strong statement thus also sits ill with me, though Illwei has a tendency to strategically overstate to try to draw reactions. This is also why I deliberately needled her about it. I agree that Pyro's statements - e.g. about the rules clarifications - do seem performative. As a result, Pyro is on one of my stronger suspicion tiers with the caveat that this is D1. [I actually also don't think the plan is as devastating to the Elims - for reasons Ash mentioned that I agree with, and just historically in SE, Village will Village and Village players will play how they want to. In my case, that'd be MR3. An experienced Elim team would know this and not feel particularly anxious to strike the plan down. If it's not clear, I think the plan could help the Village but I don't really think it's going to crit the Elims or be something they'd be dead worried and loudly against. They have better options.] Illwei - sudden TUO defence also seemed odd to me. It was a rather aggressive defence given usual Eiwlil and I wouldn't be surprised if it was also a copypasta though I haven't been able to find that while searching. Suspect it was meant to draw reactions more than anything, but something about it sits poorly with me, possibly because TUO wasn't in any danger with regard to live votes on TUO at that time (just TJ) and Eiwlil was more or less attributing arguments to TJ that TJ wasn't really using at all. Steel - not really thrilled with Steel, and as I said, I'll come back to him on a later cycle. I don't like the idea of holding a guy's feet to the fire after he's back from two years absence. That being said, Steel's vote-hopping seems a little opportunistic, and while that is consistent with what might've been the SE meta at the time of Steel's departure, given Steel has chaotic play tendencies (or had when I knew/played with him), susing Illwei for that seems rather contrived. Anyway. Steel can wait; if he's Evil, he's not going anywhere anytime soon. Just thought I'd bring it up. Drake - yeah, nah, largely gut and Agatha Christie MR paranoia. ...Probably. TUO - share TJ's concerns. Mat - largely gut. Probably some stuff I thought of and then forgot since - hi, chilling, playing this on casual. But I'm a bit concerned about his jumping in on Pyro (duh, since I'm suspicious of Pyro, though Pyro's latest reactions have once again pushed me into some uncertainty) and the Steel train mention was just odd to me, because it points at hyper-defensiveness towards a player he has no reason to be defensive of, if he were Village. As I said - there was no Steel train. Movement on and off Steel involved just two players and one vote does not a train make. Steel was not and has not been in danger. So why that focus? If it was just to protect Pyro, there's a whole field of options out there. There's no reason to bring Steel up at all. And if a single vote train on Steel is bad, what about the other single vote 'trains' present? Are they all okay then? Main thing on Pyro also giving me pause is that there isn't much of a counter-train, though to be fair, Mat was trying to stop this. You'd expect more aggressive Elim action, but then it depends on the team composition as well, doesn't it? I don't like last minute vote swaps and I don't have the bandwidth or sleep (two hours!) for this but if I have a chance I'll come back and look and make my final decision.
