[[Well, yes. It wasn't relevant at the start of the day and I thought Free's dread thing only works on Inforole since I remember her saying that only alignment reads would increase the dread.

You could imagine the panic I was in when I saw I had 3 dread.]]


[[I have three. Yes, I lied but I didn't want people to know I've done something to you, of course with how this day's gone, everyone already knows I've done something to you.

Why did I heal you? Honestly, I've no clue, it just came to my mind suddenly when I was reading through the sign-ups and rereading D1. I quite literally tossed a die and let it pick between Free, Chibi and Equital. (AKA the ones that I saw as most-likely-to-be town)

So... yeah, sorry about the lies. I probably should've put some vague or subtle hints in my posts but hindsight is 20/20.]]
[[There was quite a lot of discussion about how it was inadvisable to target me, and what I said about alignment reads was that any inforole that's not an alignment read would work.

It's entirely possible to misremember/misunderstand, of course, but also in this post from day one, after that, you do seem to understand that it's the miller part that affects inforoles and the dread thing is separate...? Am I grasping at straws here?]]
[[No, Miller makes any inforole that checks her will read her as 'Scum' even if she's not. It's her legendary that puts the dread count on people.]]

[[Yes, I understand the Miller affecting inforole thing and Dread being a seperated thing. But this post here–

"Okay, confirmation that other investigative roles, anything that's not an alignment reading, should work fine on me. So please try that to your heart's content." He paused. "What? The fuck are you talking about? What fucking strings?"
–Confused me when you said anything that's not an alignment reading would work on you. It sounded like you're trying to say anything that's not an inforole wouldn't be dreaded.]]

Espy and perse are the two that come to mind off the top of my head? By hear from I mean about who to vote for, not a sus thing.

Right now.... Well I wanna say bluwi but I should have time to review.... Was out doing necessary errands.... Urgh.

Hopefully I can get in a nice review before deadline.]]

thinking nervous_front.png"Shit, man, I just don't know what to do. I don't like that the Froslass lied. I don't like the way the Slakoth and the Snivy are both protectors but are related to each other in some way. And I don't like all the confusion around the Quagsire's power. It still feels unresolved to me, we don't know what it does! What's a power related to time? I can't think of anything that fits the bill."

Sidney held up the tattered remains of his rulebook to emphasize the point.

"I believe Dave, he's been the most honest one of the bunch. And the Delcatty, probably. They've been working hard to keep everyone in line. Same with the Yveltal."

mad_front.png"The rest, though? Fuck, I dunno. We gotta pick someone. Maybe if the Linoone doesn't want to be here, we can just... Help them leave? They said they're town, but if there's cults goin' around marking people, I'd they're not helping with their power, the Linoone is just a liability. Same with the Fennekin. I hate picking on those who aren't here but if cults are a thing, which I think they are, it's a numbers game now. Numbers and time."

"Unless someone has a better idea?"

[[Summary of Day 2 for Tetra, continuing where sind's last summary left off.]]

- Shini reiterates his role. JOAT with an ability that allows situational recharging. Jackie never targeted him, Shini just knew that a Deflector was present in the setup and extrapolated. Later we realized that a swap/deflect never happened at all.
- Jackie expresses frustration at all the time wasted on swap theories when a swap didn't happen
- Jackie knows what Yellow's power did. Presumably was informed in private? This has not yet been revealed.
- Seren clears up misconceptions. Yellow's power didn't land on me. Thinks Yellow may have been blocked (note: Yellow is unblockable)
- Sind is confused by Shini, frustrated at Arctozolt hiding something, and wants to hear from Bluwii. Thinks Torchic is just going with the crowd.
- Seren explains more about trying to shield me against something that sounds arson-like.
- Starlight is suspicious that Jackie has not revealed what Yellow's power does.
- Jackie didn't want to make Yellow/Seren claim, that's why.
- Jackie explains why Shini's deflector theory doesn't hold water
- Bluwii explains his role. Prevents Markings, aside from Necrozma's.
- Seren reiterates his role. The diamond marks cure a status condition, and prevent it for one day.
- Inke posts reads. Distrusts Tetra and Bluwii.
- Starlight posts reads. Distrusts Yellow and Bluwii.
- Blossom is disheartened that the swap conversation was a waste. Agrees that Torchic is following the crowd.
- Jackie explains that inactivity is a townflag for Espy.
- Shini claims to have healed Dragonfree.
- Pano thinks multiple factions is plausible.
- Dragonfree clears up all the reasons why there was no swap and Yellow did not set the diamond. Doesn't want people wildly speculating about strings work with no info. Posts reads.
- Yellow claims Dialga.
- Yellow is suspicious of Tetra and Bluwii
- I post reads. Iffy on Pano, Bluwii, Tetra, and q/mewtini. Want to hear from Tetra.
- q feels a bit better about Bluwii
- I realize that Shini lied about having 2 dread
- Bluwii gives his mark protection to Blossom
- Blossom votes no-lynch
- Sind asks lots of questions, is iffy on Tetra
- Inke still doesn't trust Bluwii.
- Yellow says abstaining is bad for town, pressures Espy
- Torchic didn't use their power, didn't realize it could be used more than once
- Wind is hesitant to vote Bluwii
- Pages 27-28: a lot of votes for Tetra and Bluwii. Worth reading them in detail.
- I vote Shini for lying about dread
- Dragonfree corrects a theory Inke had about Seren and Bluwii's roles being linked
- Pages 28-29: Dragonfree votes Shini out of not knowing where else to vote. Inke and Jackie feel bad about it.
- Pages 29-30: Everyone votes Shini to get an extension
- Dragonfree prods Shini about the inconsistency
- Tetra was playing PLA
- Shini explains why he healed Dragonfree
- Yellow still sus of Bluwii
- Jackie didn't want to vote Shini, believes Tetra, and wants to see a good argument for/against Bluwii
- Blossom explains why they voted no-lynch
- Yellow still sus of Bluwii

[[I don't know. I'm pretty tired and my head hurts. I still don't reeeeally like offing Bluwii now when his claim seems to check out and would be useful if we've got cults going on as we seem to, he's barely been around to talk about it since, and he's almost definitely going to be asleep for the whole extension given he's UK-based. I'm seeing a lot of circumstantial things that make me continue to side-eye Shini but also I can believe it's just townie making questionable choices and misunderstanding things I guess? I've been rereading back through Pano's posts, which make me feel better about Sidney, but that's not helping much.

Uuugh. I don't know. Really Jackie is the person who's been actually pinging me most, but they've been very sick so some amount of erraticness is understandable, and I haven't done that reread and don't really have the energy to and would feel really bad about throwing that vote on now when they are also in bed and not going to be around and also my vote inflicts status. Other most inclined vote would be Persephone who is also not around. I would just stick with Shini but my particular vote would be weightier than I would like there since he supposedly has three Dread already if town. If I'm just tunneling I don't want to oops perma-disable a townie because of it.

Vote: Abstain]]

"Unless someone has a better idea?"
"...Yeah. I see we have the same line of thought regarding how this whole 'cult and marking business" has turned into a number's game at this point." Nanu contemplated thoughtfully. "And the fact that we're still scrambling to vote even with the extension is...troublesome. Since I know on my end my Chatot is aggravated over how exhausted she is. After she's been trying to get her brain back online long enough to cast in our vote this time cause well..."

[["Fucking hell if we have any clue who the hell to vote on at this point?" Nanu's Guardian griped wearily. "Since I still hate how many unknown variables we have going on that's surrounding all the players currently active. And with what Dave / Dragonfree is saying right now as I'm making this post:

[["I'm inclined to agree that I'm also leaning against offing Bluwii / Sans and ShiniGojira / Fray. Because at this point I'm to the point where reading all this is making my head hurt. And given how inconclusive a lot of stuff is rn...fuck it' I'm going to go with my gut instinct. Even if this proves detrimental and makes me more suspicious. Because if I didn't feel comfortable shooting blindly before. I'll FEEL WORSE if I do it now when I'm tired and exhausted.

So, if someone wants to me to clarify or if someone wants to call me out on doing this again. Then at this point ping me and feel free to do so. Because I feel more comfortable following Dragonfree / Dave's train of thought. And i think at this point people should go with their gut instinct and do what they feel is best at this point:

Vote: Abstain"]]

[[Wait, do you have an actual reason to believe that?]
[[It's pure speculation, based along the theory of third-party cultist and how he can protect someone by voting for them.]]

[[I am so tired my eyes hurt. I need to sleep, I cannot decide who to vote for. If someone makes a convincing argument for/against Cult Leader Bluwii I'll at least be able to make a decision about whether he's a sensible vote. I don't like the Tetra wagon anymore, I legit believe she was swallowed by L'Arceus. And I never liked the Shini wagon. I'll keep checking in but I'm gonna go get ready for bed. I already posted like a million tmes more than I intended to today, and it made me very rude to my hosts who were trying to spend time with me. 🙃 ]]
:(

[[ah, my bad, it was Starlight who said this:]]
[[Yep, that's just a theory I have, considering the voting powers happening in this game. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for voting Bluwii out. It's just that, considering vote powers are at play (if Bluwii is honest about his vote power), I'm scared of what voting for him could do if he's not taken out.]]

Also there's a tie, and part of me wants/needs to break that tie.
[[If I read the rules correctly, tie votes will eliminate whoever reached the highest number first. So, in this case, Bluwii would go out. Is that correct, @Namohysip ?]]

"I'm voting the Froslass, but fuck! Dave took back his vote. What the fuck, man? We can't abstain today. If we lose the Froslass we all least know what we're losing. Maybe it's a stupid idea but fuck I got nothing else."

[[If shini is our joat that's semi useful but if Bluwii is telling the truth that is also useful.

It's interesting that Free mentioned Jackie bc I have some small hesitancies too but I also want to give allowances and don't have anything concrete.

Naturally I believe that someone else is also scum: like Inke or blossom or Espy or any number of other players but right now the only sus we have is Bluwii, who can't speak for the self right now, and shini....

I might abstain too :/]]

But what reason do you have for trying to lynch ShiniGojira, Sidney? If we know the kid is good and he revealed how his power is beneficial to town." Nanu challenged Sidney warily.

Especially when he didn't like how rash or quick Sidney was to break the tie and vote Gojira out to ensure his demise by EoD.

mad_front.png"You're damn right. The only way to break the tie is to vote the Froslass. Not like my vote fuckin' means much, it's still a tie, and the Slakoth was voted for first. I'm voting because unless you can convince everyone else to retract their votes on the Slakoth, he's gone. And at this point, he's still a goner. Fuck, man."

[[Alrighty then. My Legendary's Mew with the ability Synchronize and the one-shot move Metronome.

I'm a JOAT with Healer, Killer, Self Deflector and Roleblocker. I can already use them at the start and have already used Healer on Free.

Synchronize regens a power (but doesn't add to them if I still have them) if I get hit by someone that has a matching power.

Metronome allows me to select one of the used power and makes the Metronomed power immune to redirects and suppression.

I currently have 3 dread and I'm town.

If we really don't want to vote Bluwii off, we can literally just vote for No Elimination, we just need 4 to break the Bluwii tie.

If none of y'all wants to kill me or Bluwii then pick No Elimination 'cause with how this has been going then Imma go...

Vote: No Elimination.]]
