Clearly, we are lovers of diversity here. Good for us! Anyone wish to summarise the cases on Fener, Olar, Tennes, Silanah, Meanas, and Telas?

I think (and at almost 5 pages it would take too much effort to get the details right) that Tennes, Telas, and I were signaling with bugs, rabbits, Orson Scott Card, and other things. Fener because he self-reported getting a stiffy after watching a cyclist v car incident. Olar because he hasn't checked in. Silanah vote has something to do with racist Hawaiians and pizza.

Damn, the cases are stronger than usual. This is going to be a toughie!

Pointless. If OE doesn't turn up on day 1 then he/she will be modkilled as per standard rules of Mafia. Why waste a vote unless you are certain somehow they are not in your faction?

Not pointless. A couple of votes applies pressure and info can be obtained by seeing where the pressure leaks a bit.. Statistically, he is probably not on my team. So why not vote him?

[Silanah]

Makes sense I suppose.

remove vote


and I will sit on the fence a while longer.

[Telas]

Don't get splinters.

Remove vote


I mean, I know that a lot of people are gracing us with their low poster presences to bulk up the people count, but if they don't have time to participate, might as well do them a favor.

Ok, i'm here. Only 3 pages to catch up on. Not too bad. Back in a bit. I should have most of the day to play.

Kaschan, on 19 February 2013 - 05:24 PM, said:

Anyone recall if book knowledge is necessary to play this game? I haven't read them. Should prolly read the wiki.

So this is the kind of low poster that irritates me. Promises to play more, asking questions and saying things that sound like they're trying to play the game. This seems more like active low posting than those who have posted a "here" and then disappeared.

However, I may have misunderstood the OP and game setup, but I figured there were three teams of 6 and one Parshendi. Why would a Parshendi signal to anyone? I'm just going by the very specific numbers - 19 or 22 players. I suppose it could be three teams of 5 with 4 Parshendi, but I just figured the Parshendi would be a recruiter. This is complete speculation, of course, but that's what I took away from the information we were given on the game.

I missed this the first time through.

What in the OP is giving you the idea that there would only be 1 Parshindi and a recruiter??

A couple of votes may apply pressure, but at this point there isn't too much info we'd get out of it. Chances are everyone here is thinking that with 19 players, he probably isn't on my team too. I know I am.

I actually meant to address this too, cause it seemed odd and I definitely didn't get that read from the OP. In the book, the Parshendi are their own army (as in a ton of them) fighting against the highprinces (who are also squabbling amongst themselves). To be a one man army would be absurd. Similarly, I highly doubt they'd be able to recruit humans, though there could always be creative liberty for the game.

[Path-Shaper]

As the day wore on, highprinces and parshendi alike sent armies to multiple plateaus, in a race to collect the gemhearts encased in the chasmfiend chrysalis's. On Maras Plateau, Dalinar Kholin's forces arrived mere minutes before Thanadar's forces, and pushed back the Parshendi there with their superior discipline. On Sekas plateau, Sadeas's bridgemen allowed him to arrive before the parshendi, and he took the gemheart quickly, barely skirmishing with the Parshendi before he retreated back to his warcamp.

NOTICE: ALL DAY ACTIONS ARE IRONMAN RULES

Sorry if I wasn't clear on that before

[Meanas]

I'm going to be off shortly. Probably won't be back before timer runs out.

I'm leaving vote on OE. As for others I'd like to hear more about how/why TS is assuming recruiters. Or why Silanah thinks Holley made an 8 barrel carburetor(Jk).

[Osseric]

Could have been a slip of inside knowledge, under the guise of speculation. It's hard to say, we'll probably get the best answer from TS himself.

Eh, gut feeling more than anything. Basically, I am looking at Azathmaster's number requirements. 19 or 22 players. Very specific. So I figured three teams with the same amount of players, and one team with less. So I figured if it was 3 teams of 6 with 1 Parshendi, then the Parshendi would have to have some way make his team bigger. I DID say I was just shooting in the dark, so take it with a grain of salt. It could just as easily be 3 teams of 5 with the Parshendi faction having 4 players.

That's my thought.

Another thought about that.

Meanas,"hey, TS what's up with this?"
Osseric, "hey, TS what's up with this?"
Korvalalain with his second post of the game, "I haven't read the book so let's talk about whether recruiting makes sense." (as opposed to talking about the person who brought the subject up?)

Yeah, same here. I was just speculating based on the game numbers. Given that the Parshendi are their own army, it could just as easily be 3 teams of 4, with Parshendi being 7 players. That sounds like it would be more in line with what Korvalain has said about the book.

I'm willing to buy that you were just speculating, you answered us resonably enough. It can be hard without knowledge of the world (I still highly recommend the book though). You just raised some questions for the rest of us about what you may or may not know, understandably.

And yeah, figuring out the numbers will be important. I do think that the Highprince factions would have to have the same numbers, makes sense.
