WW: -Omitted Topic-: Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
If anyone has some tips on skimming WW, i would very much appreciate them right now because I know that this post count is gonna double before I get a chance to actually catch up I’ve never actually played in a game with this many posts each day (I think Pokémon was similar but I died D1 or D2).
A strategy I use on MU when the posts are increasing exponentially is to just stay on the current page and iso/ask questions as needed.

Yeah sometimes if it's really bad I just...skip what I missed. If I get time to go back, great, if not, oh well lol

Real talk: I keep it open almost all the time, when I can (obviously can't do that when I'm in labs or in the middle of holding an animal or something).

It's a lot easier to glance down and loosely keep track as things as they trickle in vs coming back at ~9:30pm to literally hundreds of posts.

If you do have to do a mass catch-up, I have noticed there typically tends to be somewhat of a lull between ~2pm-6pm Eastern.

This is also what I do. Once I've caught up, I try my best to respond to what's actively happening and worry about re-reading and analyzing when the thread is more quiet, like after day/night closures. But I haven't mastered the art of skimming either...it's hard because I'm someone who feels like they have to read every word or else I'll miss something. These write-ups have been giving me anxiety because I don't have time to read them all the time lol
 
Speaking of things getting missed, though, I'm going to repeat this...

If anyone has an item that can potentially rez people, I suggest you use it on Mel.

Write up seemed to imply there was a chance of him being restored today, and also implied that the game is not quite right anymore without the main protagonist.

I saw this.

I am unsure whether it is actually possible or not to bring him back. But our best shot is lynching SAR I think. Look at the first post I made after write up. He is in a dark chasm...
 
I've tried to kind of keep track what's going on in the story, it's not super...organized because it's meant for my brain, but in case it might help anyone

The princess (Princess Lazuli) - requested kidnapping for reasons unknown ---> needs to see her uncle in Bilundeam (Valtina); carries a pendant...a Pendant. Also calls the beetle king Uncle. Needs to speak to him about her mother.
The silver knight - Ris, super protective of the princess
Kailvan - member of the band of bards, has a tail, teenager, "womanizer" (Cheezit)
Keke - dark wizard kid, somehow connected to the dark wizards Bigantria is creating? Hmm.
Emp - red haired kid, currently petrified in the forest (the Evil Forest). The band might leave him there for now, because it would be bad if the forest unpetrified. Looking for other ways to help.
Band leader (Tapu?) - BAHAHAHA. Shot by arrows (D3). (mpm)
Queen - Lazuli says she has been acting strangely since her father died. She might be planning something terrible?
King Alv - best friend of the princess's father (Princess's father is dead). He's a ****ing beetle. Ordered the kidnapping of the princess for her safety.
Dark wizards storming the castle
Doctor
Minister Valtina
- princess's uncle
Lady Yulag - King Alv's wife, abducted? Nope actually she turned him into a beetle and ran off because he cheated on her
Woman at the Counter/Aleera - some history with Kailvan, Fiesta of the Huntress?
Arie - won the Fiesta of the Huntress, received potion. "Master Hunter"
Lubertian soldier - blinded and injured, cliffhanger!!

"5 Nations on the Continent of Smog"
Bigantria - where the Princess is from
Urobt
Bilundeam - King Alv, Minister Valtina
Lubertia
??? - did i miss the 5th one?

Vela village - valley past the ice
Uropt? Is that Urobt with a typo??

Crates??? - Dark wizards being created in Vela - is the Queen planning to use them for war?
Wizards and smog???
Ah more smog. Smog is bad. ...but the airships use it to fly. Except the new ones, they are steam engines
Fiesta of the Huntress

Phoenix Feather
Remedy
Antidote
Strong Potion

Faatle Almond - received by Keke in day 3 writeup
Super Potion - received by Arie D3

Why only call out Ziggy when SOV also questioned WZ's affiliation post rez?
SOV's post was more like "reveal yourself rezzer or I'l be more likely to distrust WZ" while ziggy's post was auto "I don't trust WZ regardless". Even if dubz was a convert, there'd be literally no information to go off of by lynching her. Not even one cycle of w/w interactions could have occurred. And this is only the best case scenario.

Worst case scenario, y'all do me the dishonor of lynching me when wolves already were so #scared they killed me the first chance they got 😛

Hey AM, by the way, what did you think of the coffee?/stagg interaction yesterday?

How do you feel about ziggy and stagg now? (in addition to the other reads I asked for...I am very demanding right now 😛 )
wolfy on ziggy, would lynch there but want to figure out barks, the explanation is really weak after seeming to be a real vouch on thread, like, "well oops."
I'm good with stagg for now but definitely WIFOM with him always
 
I am unsure whether it is actually possible or not to bring him back. But our best shot is lynching SAR I think. Look at the first post I made after write up. He is in a dark chasm...
I say this with much love for all things tinfoily and shiny:

Seems like a leap. Unless you or Coffee or someone else knows something that would link the two events together other than the word "dark," which might be kind of common in a grey-shaded fantasy-themed game, I feel like it is more likely to be a coincidence.

And I am pretty sure he can be brought back... otherwise, why would the write up even be phrased like that at all?

Wait

Is that what this SAR lynch is based on?

It really bothered me. I don't know how to accurately describe my feelings on it. The self-prez thing with Stagg made total sense and I still never got a reads list from Coffee?.

I just remembered there was a post of yours I meant to like
 
My current guess is at the time they died their characters may have been more antagonistic to the main party (like Tapu disagreeing with Kailvan on what to do about the princess, threatening, him, etc) but as the story progresses, their relative allegiance might be changing. So, Tapu might no longer really be all that antagonistic, and the focus shifts to potential antagonism with the Queen, the dark wizards, etc.

I don't know if that makes any sense but it's where I'm at for the moment. More a story based allegiance change than anything related to an ability.
 
From reading the write ups, I've also been thinking that there's definitely worse people/evil forces out there that will be eventually revealed but we don't know about them yet
No way 😛

I have information it might not be possible.

Don't think so.
 
BLUE TEXT (for those who do not know what blue text is, it is information that is supplemental to the game world, but will not provide direct information that is necessary or even necessarily helpful for the game world. I have had a couple of requests to include blue text like information within the game, so I am going to do so. Feel free to disregard if you feel overwhelmed by the information already in the game)

THE HISTORY OF THE VALE

The Vale is the planet we find ourselves located on (not to be confused with the village, Vela), and is a fledgling when it comes to other nearby planets. Scientists estimated, based off of gravitational pull, that there used to be a twin planet to the Vale that has completely disappeared. Disregarding the planet that has disappeared, the Vale is only 3 billion years old, while the next youngest planet in proximity to the Vale is 5 billion years old.

257840


The Vale is composed of 3 main continents and a 4th continent that is known but never visited (other than a small population of religious fanatics). The main continent that is inhabited is known as the Smog Continent. While Smog does exist in pockets in other continents, it is not as widespread as the Smog Continent, where only the towns/cities themselves don't contain Smog (through various filtration systems set up by town officials). Not much is known about Smog other than the enormous energy potential contained within it, and that life itself can be created from it (in the form of the monsters that attack those who enter the wilderness).

The Smog Continent is composed of five great nations: BIgantria (the largest and most powerful of the five), Bilundeam (the most tech based civilization whose steam power inventions within their industrial district are revolutionizing the Vale as a whole), Uropt (a city of nobles which has been overtaken by thievers and smugglers, due to a very "small government" approach), Lubertia, (a town filled with animal-like people who are renowned for their combat prowess (even though they MOSTLY lack non-attack based magics), and Relica, (a town which had broken off from Lubertia long ago, and is protected by a stream of tornadoes which prevent any invaders from entering the city). There has been minor skirmishes over the course of time, minor land disputes, but never any full fledged war between the nations. This partly has to do with the friendships and interconnectedness of the families of royalty.

257842


Outside of the Smog Continent, there are many abandoned castles with small pockets of civilizations living in between the castles, but for the most part, all castles remain completely abandoned. There are theories regarding a great destruction and war that happened millions of years ago, coming close to erasing all life from the planet. However, there is still great debate among historians about how this has happened, and why there is little proof of weapons or other means of attacks that would have been carried out.

That is all the time we have for today. Please visit us next week to hear more about the village of the horned, a mythical village where the most feverish debates of history can be found.

@ziggyandjazzy sounds pretty clear to me I was burned and the knife was placed after I was dead
Strewn on the docks was a Faatle, a peaceful fairy like creature, with a letter stabbed through their heart via a knife, saying “Somewhere nearby a gift was received, not to your door but a close neighbor indeed. Watch close, for it is hard to say, will the giving be a miracle or ruin our day?”

They investigated the body, and their was scorch marks all over. It appears the knife was placed after the Faatle was killed. The princess looked up, saddened. “I must report this to my uncle at once. That, and much more.”
Incidentally that letter was the one that was meant to be sent the night I died
 
Why didn't you vote?

Was about to vote for coffee to save mpm but then you pulled out a vouch.

She was a power role.

I believe there are a lot of 'power roles' in this game. Not saying rezzing wz was a bad choice but I think people should be more willing to share information that they obtain via night results.

Also side eyeing the people who immediately jumped on to vote barks. We have no idea what affiliation mpm was at the beginning of the game vs. yesterday. There was literally a question mark after the words 'minor antagonist'. Are we lynching barks based on her vouch thinking she knew mpm was leaning antagonistic?
 
Not at all.
Don't think so
Then please explain the above quotes as possible.

Because to me it sounds like you guys saw the words "dark chasm" (or whatever it was), discovered SAR's name had the word "dark" in it, and made a pretty big leap

And then the latter part, I realize my theory was tinfoil but I haven't seen you offer an alternative so I'm curious about your thoughts.

Side note: is anyone else super impressed by how @Karabiner13 appears to have actually hacked SDN to the point where the lynch tally breaks through the post frame? Or does that effect just show up because I'm on my phone?

Lol every time I see it, I keep wondering if it looks that way only for me or if it looks that way because seemingly we somehow broke the game. I'm on a desktop browser fyi.
