Thanks! I really think yours was great, especially this part:

Really my wife is kind of upset about how long I spent on my roast... We ended up not going camping because we didn't get out early enough to get a campsite (because I was working on this ).

Secretly I was excited that camping didn't work out so that I could get more time to work on this, and I could use my computer to format it.

Wow! Now that’s dedication to your art! 

Good game everyone! It was really close there at the end.

if it's alright, I'd like to change from pinch hitter to player. I might not be the most active, but I should still be able to play.

Do you want to keep the same name: Rettih Chnip?

@Herowannabe this is my own personal opinion, your Stick rap was just a couple of iotas of awesomeness less than Archer's Allomancer Jak rap (the iotas really came from the Handerwym annotations, man that's super awesome attention to detail).

Thanks! I'll take that as the supreme compliment that it is.

And I also have to say that I went in thinking that I would be really annoyed by your stick wrap, the Church of the stick is not my thing.

It's not really mine, either, but the idea of entering a rap battle as stick was just too fun to pass up.

But you really, I think, exhausted all of the ick rhymes that have ever been with your opening, it was so good.

Don't panic, I predict that I've barely nicked the surface of the thick pile of -ick words to pick from.

I am really looking forward to Jak vs. Stick now.

I'm not.  This is going to be hard.

DOH!!!

I planned to face off against Axies, Arclo, and Taln. I thought for sure I'd get at least one of those as an opponent!

Here's one of the choicer lines for Axies (spoilered below if you don't want to read it, and don't worry it's a Mraize specific line so it doesn't take away from any of the plethora of insults still available):

  Hide contents

The Collector, you're an Axies that doesn't concern me
You'd set yourself on fire if you tried to burn me.

I am setting out on a 2 day camping trip today in about 2 hrs, that's why I did all of the prep work. The best laid plans Mraize and men I guess...
Hopefully inspiration hits me hard right now, or my campsite has a cellular signal...

I might post the full "hypothetical roast" after this Round of competition is over, there were some hard blows for sure.

You may want to hold off a little bit on that. If you make it into the next round then you might very well be facing off against one of those three.

So if we restart the clock from the time when we realized the game wasn't over yet, They would have 1 day and 22 hours (ish) from Hero's post. Does the Countdown still apply in sudden death mode? If so, Then the Red team has approximately until 8:20 PM Mountain time tonight to put in their final votes. 

Yes we should have a timer. That means red team has a little less than 11 hours left!

Ooooh, could I sign up? I'll go as Itiah VII, the first of the Fourth Wall Breakers in his family and private investigator. 

Added you to the list!

I made a lot of progress on the spreadsheet tonight. Now I can easily just randomize the Method and Evidence lists and it will autofill everything in for each player, including a format that's relatively easy to c/p into the thread. When the game begins, the player list will look something like this:

The next step is to get the randomizer worked out for the Scene Tiles.

It looks like the checkboxes to mark who has/hasn't made their accusation yet aren't pasting to the thread right, so I'll have to tweak that. That won't be hard though. 

If anyone sees anything funky or has any suggestions for the spreadsheet, please let me know!

Oh yeah. I managed to make a trust group of villagers that half of which were not villagers. That was... great. 

It could have been worse. The entire village could have been following your lead.

...

oh wait.

@Droughtbringer @Kidpen @phattemer You all think you're so clever with your usernames. You're making me wish I had worked a form of player-elimination into this game, just so I could find a way to get you killed in retribution.

This sounds like a lot of fun, if there is still room then I'll sign up as Aralis.

Yep! I'm not planning on capping the number of players, but if I feel like it's getting too big then maybe we can split into two groups or something. 

@BrightnessSamantha: Contrary to what you're asking and what other people seem to be suggesting, my recommendation is to steer clear of the site (or at the very least avoid the theories forums and other sections that have lots of spoilers) until you have finished reading Brandon's major Cosmere works, which looking at your list means just the Wax and Wayne books + Mistborn: Secret History (make sure you read that one last). Once you've finished Secret History you won't have to worry about any major spoilers and can peruse the forums while reading the other novellas and non-Cosmere novels at your leisure. 

Honestly I’m more excited to see Allomancer Jak vs... well any of them, really.

The winner of the first battle is... @Herowannabe with Stick! Congratulations!

Woo!

To all of my opponents: Well fought! It has been an honor. *Samurai bow*

And good luck to everyone next round! This is another really good grouping of characters

Oh storm it, didn't you do this to me the last game I ran?

*checks spreadsheet* yes, you did.

me too... i had the most amazing roast for stick.....

Ha ha silly Inklingspren, you don’t roast sticks, you use them to roast other things.

I'm not sure if we really have any other hints that will help, though. Do we have to just guess randomly and hope we get lucky, or does someone remember something useful?

Yep, pretty much, unless someone does remember something. Good luck!

This game seems to be right up my alley, but I'm too buys irl to do two games at once.

FWIW I expect the time commitment required for this game to be fairly light. There are no PMs, a max of 3 cycles, and less analysis required than usual. However, if you’re still hesitant to commit right now, maybe I could persuade you to sign up as a pinch hitter?

Yep, thank you.

I would like to Enter

 

Welcome aboard!

I wouldn't be able to participate enough to do this justice, but I'm intrigued.  Are you planning to have a spec doc?

I wasn’t planning on a spec doc, because, well, IMO if you have enough time to watch and comment on this game then you have enough time to play it.  Or at least sign up as a possible pinch hitter.

Plus there are no player-deaths, so nobody would be joining it after the game begins. 

Still, if enough people want a spec doc (say... at least 3) then I’ll make one.

I am a new to this forum, but I have decent experience with Mafia (perhaps 6 or so games, and having spectated a few more). I’d like to join this one - would that be advisable?

Sure, welcome aboard! This game probably won’t be quite as heavy or involved as most of your usual Sanderson Elimination games, so it’s a good one to join in that sense. However, be aware that this games uses a different format from your normal SE/Mafia game, so it will be new and different (for you and for everyone else).

Woah, hold the train, game 6 isn't over yet!

We're playing 8-ball mode, so when the red team found the assassin the game should have entered sudden death mode. I just double checked, and the spymasters haven't really given anything away about the red team's remaining codenames, so we're going to back up and let the red team finish up the game properly. 

Red team: It's now sudden death mode. @Kidpen cannot give any more hints, but you now have unlimited guessed to find ALL the rest of your agents. If you guess a single incorrect codename then the game ends and the blue team wins, but if you can find the rest of your agents without making any mistakes then you will win. Good luck!
