Karosis is the loud outspoken one. Korvalain is the quieter, scummier one. (In my opinion, of course).

I just prefer lynches that are hard to get. Usually means the symps are doing their best to stop it.



We can't even be sure the traitors have any sympathisers at this point.
I would advise you to strop trying to treathis as a regular game. Path-Shaper has told us it's a TMDI 9.



No he said TMDI 5. Read the OP again if you don't believe me.

A quick skim of the thread as I catch up shows me that I'm in danger of being lynched. Can't say it's the first time this has happened :(.

Anyway, let me go and have a look around and see if there's anything useful I can say to help out.

Pretty sure he said 5 or 6 :(

My opinion as well, which is why I voted Korvalain before Karosis. I'll be voting Korvalain tomorrow unless a better case comes around



Back and caught up.

I can't say that I like the case on Karosis and as I stated all day I think it's in everyone's best interest to go after the quiet ones. But hey? What do I know? Oh that's right I have a history of being right but noone ever listens to me. Case in point. I was only right last game but people still ended up lynching me day 1. If I am only going to get to day 2 of this game why bother. Might as well keep the streak alive and lynch me now.

remove vote

vote korvalain




Suicidal tendencies continue to disgust me...

Cross-post heaven. Anyone want to remove their vote whilst Karosis catches up - though I'd doubt it'd help him :(

1) Join the club

2) As an esteemed artist will say some 500-odd years later "haters gonna hate".

What set Korvalain off like that? must have been on the wrong end of an exchange or something, I can't see a vote or 2 doing that. Or he's being melodramatic

Needless post count padding. Not something you'd see me doing :(

Also, isn't revealing your identity sort of frowned upon?

OK, well I'll lay all my cards on the table.

I'm an RI, and my speciality is Poetry. I have a theory about how the game is set up that I think will be informative for you guys to know about (whether or not you choose to pay any attention is up to you). My idea was that there are only a small number of these specialities, and that the cults can only recruit people from one of those specialities. Whenever someone is running a cult game, a key question is "How do I nerf the cult?" because getting one recruit per night is incredibly overpowered. Standard ways of doing this include reducing the cult to a recruit every other night, or adding players that if recruited kill the recruiter, that sort of thing. But this is actually quite a neat way of doing it. Say you have some poets and some calligraphers, and a cult dedicated to recruiting each (perhaps through classes in that discipline, if we're trying to keep in line with the setting). This set up naturally splits the game into two recruiting pools, and each cult has a ~50% chance of a successful recruit. It seems like a nice way of doing it.

Of course, I might be completely off base, but since I'm probably not going to get another chance I thought I'd throw it out there.




Now, I'll go and take a look and see if anyone hopping on my train looks suspicious. Might be worth pointing them out...

This is not a bad thing, my young padawan. You've just got to learn how to harness it for the greater good of your team.

Interesting idea, though PS told us that it was simply flavor.

If it is true, we have to lynch you anyway, since you're guaranteed to be recruited tonight with that reveal.

I should say that I'm surprised how easily people have used "He throws his votes around too much!" as a reason to lynch me. If you look back at my votes, you'll see that there have only been two serious ones - Kalse and Okaros. The others were joke votes early in the day. It may be worth investigating the people making such claims to see whether they are being disingenuous about it.

Oh, it is only 9 votes. I counted Sil as 2 votes on accident when I counted originally.
