[WW] Mistings Wars. INSURGENCY WINS

[twietee]

as far as kandra's allegiance, from the posted rules (yes, those bits in red that nobody read ):
"If a kandra acquires an inquisitor’s body, they do not switch allegiance. However a kandra CAN be recruited by the Inquisition, and will retain their power"

Sorry for bothering you, I actually did read those posts, multiple times in fact. Maybe I'm really dumb here, if so I'll appologize in advance, but what happens if Kandra was from the start an inquisitor (the regular ww / not the alpha) and took over the power(s) of the alpha? Would this include both powers, i.e. Slider and infection?

Thank you DP anyway. Outstanding work (and quite an amount of time!) you did so far!

EVENING 2

After they erected a cairn to cover the two dead bodies, the company started down towards the river, where WoodNUFC’s barge was waiting,
From there they were going to take one of the Canals to Luthadel, in order to regroup.
As they marched down, nobody was talking. And what they were all NOT talking about, was hanging over them like an immense Ashmount cloud: dark, heavy and foul.
There had to be another traitor in their number. Perhaps more than one
As if on cue, Ash started to fall.
The outer dominance had on average less Ashfall then the Inner Dominances, because of the increased distance from the Ashmounts, the massive active volcanoes that dominated the empire landscape.
In addition, the Ashmounts had been relatively quiet in the last few days, gifting them of a rare ash-free week.
But now their respite had come to a close, and the ash was falling copiously.

“Bloody ashes!” started Rick, unsuccessfully trying to wipe off the thin dark layer, which had starting coating his clothes and everything else. “The mists, I don’t mind, but I can’t stand the friggin’ ash”
“The Ash protects the land from the heat” muttered Abijnk, automatically
“Spoken like a true Disciple of the Ministry” Ravenvii was looking at her, one eyebrow raised
“Anyone who ever read a book knows that we would become a scorched desert if it wasn’t for the ashes” retorted Abijnk, “of course you need to be able to read…”
“So, do you believe everything the Ministry feeds you?” WoodNUFC interrupted
“I had enough of your accusations” said Abijnk, loosing her dagger.
“Enough!” Plutonius cut in “besides, she is right. About the ashes, that is. The rest I am not so sure”
Then he turned his attention to Sythas “so tell me my Lord, how long have you been with the insurgency?”
“Long enough not to trust any of you” responded Sythas, wearly moving his hand to the hilt of his own blade
“Oh, we got a touchy one here” cut in Aggie in a snarky tone “missing our spikey friend, are we?”
“Yeah! I saw them talking yesterday!” Astroboy was looking at him sideways
“Me too!” added WoodnUFC.
“you saw us talk, didn’t you? I recall talking to you as well, and to wood here. So should we all go to have a Steel Ball at the Ministry? Do you need a dress?"
“I need some time to think, this is very confusing” said Astroboy looking down, and as he waved a hand, suddenly it looked like time had come to a standstill.
“Ah! So we have a pulser in our number. What an odd choice of time to burn Cadmium though. Well, at least it will give me more time to study this artifact” and Scepticalscribe and pulled out the steel object again.

Then, suddenly, the sensation of stillness dissolved, and everyone was talking at the same time.
“The other one had a spike in his chest, let’s see if this one has one too!” said Koodauw, ripping the nobleman's shirt with his knife
“How do you explain those scars, ‘my lord’?”
“Are you dense? When you have been in as many battles as I, we’ll see if you have any…”
But before he could complete the sentence, Aggie swiped his dagger, slashing his chest open
Sythas looked up with a mix of surprise, disbelief and pain. “you dim-witted bunch of…” then he collapsed to the ground, holding his chest, nothing but blood gushing out of the wound.

Sythas, a loyal rebel, is dead

It is now evening, please send in your PMs

sorry, it was just a joke. i guess it didn't come through
no offense meant and i suppose there were quite a few grey areas in the rules.

in any case, if the Kandra was an inquisitor from the beginning, he would take over the allomantic powers (as s/he can with any power) from a dead head inquisitor but NOT the infection ability.
only the original head inquisitor knows how to perform the ritual, and when s/he is dead, that knowledge is lost

 

[Koodauw]

Can someone please explain to me what happened?

In post 346 Astroboy used his power to extend the time to 8PM MST. In post 360 at 2:31 MST Don't Panic said voting was closed. The request was in before the deadline, and we hadn't reach majority lock.

something (within the game) happened, that triggered the new deadline.

 

[rick snagwell]

ouch, sorry sythas. looks like we have some smart ww's that have been around awhile.

this def makes pluto look suspicious. think im going to take a look more into moyank, her post on voting sythas on night one looks suspect.

 

[Plutonius]

This was the final tally from the last vote.

Sythas: (5): Koodauw, Astroboy, WoodNUFC, Plutonius. Aggie
WoodNUFC: (5): Twietee, Chrmjenkins, Moyank24, Scepticalscribe, Sythas
Tomorrow: (1): rick snagwell
Moyank24: (1): TechGod

Not Voting: Queen of Spades, ravenvii, abijnk, and Tomorrow.
QoS: Oracle (Priest) Cleared
abijnk: Was on but claimed she didn't know what she should do.
Tomorrow: Came on later. Claimed he missed the deadline.
Ravenvii: Haven't heard from him (is he still playing ?).

Based on what "Don't Panic" said, the day was ended early (after it was extended).

The day was extended in post 346 at 1:34pm by Astroboy
"Don't Panic" announced in post 360 at 4:31pm that the day ended. In the post, it indicated that he was posting from his phone and we have no idea how often he checks his email.
SS, Astroboy, Twietee, Koodauw, and Rick were on posting during that time. I think the WW would be less likely to post if they were ending the day early unless they didn't think things through.

Conclusion: Either WoodNUFC is the Kendra, a WW is the Kendra or WoodNUCF is both a WW and the Kendra .

Only two WW left and no chance of infection.

Who to Vote For:
Don't Panic style chart (Red = most likely WW, Green = cleared)

twietee, abijnk, tomorrow, aggie, scepticalscribe, moyank, woodNUFC

ravenvii, chrmjenkins, koodauw

techgod, rick snagwell, astroboy

I seriously think that you may need to revise your colour coded 'suspects' list; it seems to me to be more than a little out of date, in the light of more recent events.

For what it is worth, Twietee and myself have actually participated, quite actively. Although I am a Terris scholar, I am not an Inquisitor, and at this stage, I strongly doubt that Twietee is either. Indeed, neither of us voted for Sythas.

You might note that I switched my vote from Sythas in order to facilitate a tie, and as I was of the opinion that his robust defence of himself was quite convincing. And I wonder why you are giving Techgod a pass for now, too.

Most of those I would regard as suspect (with the possible exception of WoodNUFC) either did not post, or went conveniently missing for hours, and days, and some of the silent ones could well do with being a little less…..taciturn…..

 

[twietee]

I have to agree with ss. The chart is partly misleading imo. You didn't vote for someone coloured red yourself for exampel, Pluto.

Albeit the amount of participation really doesn't indicate anything (I remember a game with the SilentPanda), I'd prefer to put pressure onto those of us being rather silent (I remember a game with comeagain? Who probably posted thrice in total). Let's wait for the nightly activities and their outcome first of course...

 

[Plutonius]

The problem is that unless woodNUFC is shown to be a WW, what does your switch show ? Let me know how my list should be modified.

Note - I am voting for woodNUFC next turn. He is on the red list and his death will give us lots of voting trend info (if he is a WW).

As far as TechGod, his vote was very important in killing Touch. I would not clear him however which is why I have him where he is.

My switch shows that I believed Sythas ought to have been given a chance. That's all. And, given the frenzied flurry of activity at the last minute - and the outcome of this flurry which guaranteed the lynching of Sythas and the protection of WoodNUFC, who was saved - conveniently, or not, by this flurry of activity - I'd take a long look at WoodNUFC next.

I actually doubt that the six who posted quite a bit are the most suspect, and that questions need to be asked of some others.

What I am arguing is that your list of suspects - while perhaps somewhat credible on the first day, is a lot more jaded looking now, and also directly contradict your own post where you suggest that the six who posted are less likely (perhaps) than others to have been Inquisitors.

In any case, while I strongly believe that the Kandra has inhabited imaketouchtheme's remains, the fact that the Allomantic activity associated with those remains have been exhausted means that the Kandra may now choose to move on elsewhere….

In light of that, your own findings tonight will be greeted with more than a little interest by some of us, I must confess.

I agree 100%. The main reason I voted for him was because he was the runner up in the previous vote. If he was a WW, we would have gotten lots of voting trending info based on the number of votes for and against him. That is the reason why I'm voting for woodNUFC next turn (a bonus is that he is on the red list). Note - If WoodNUFC is a WW, your votes should put you in the mostly clear category.

I also agree with you on player activity. The less active players are almost always the WW. However, I wouldn't clear people based on them being active.

How should the list be changed ? Move you and SS to orange ? Anything else ?

Tonight should be interesting although I'm not sure how valuable my info will be (or even if I should release it). If the Kendra is a WW, indicating what abilities the deceased had, would only help them. I leave it to the group if you want me to reveal the info or not.

In the circumstances, I would consider moving rick to orange, (he changed his vote to imaketouchtheme very late in the day); then, I am curious, too, about abijnk, ravenvii, and a few others.

Not only are they not posting; the Allomantic peers which have been publicly invoked (apart from your own) are the ones which are mostly one-off powers. That means that the silent ones include two Inquisitors among whom can be counted quite a few powerful Allomancers.

Granted, it is a judgement call, whether or not to divulge such information.

However, given that there are so many variables, it may be useful to know what powers are available to the Kandra, for, if the Kandra was initially assigned to the Inquisitors, then this is potentially a powerful individual as the powers used will change daily.

Otherwise, it is the sort of thing that can be best used as disinformation, as nobody else other than the Augur will be able to confirm the Allomantic identity of the deceased.

In any case, I suspect that the only way we can solve this is by filling in as many pieces of the mosaic of information as we can, and sharing what we have - admittedly, maybe not necessarily immediately - with those os a similar persuasion.

Above all, it is imperative that nobody go to their death without imparting whatever information that have at their disposal; at the end of the day, this is a team effort, and each piece of information may add to the overall picture that emerges.

let me just make it clear that i was the first one to vote for touch whether it be late or whatever. i didnt need to change the vote at all really, and when i did, others followed. now why would i ever try to get my fellow ww lynched when the heat was on southerndad.

i find tomorrow very suspect. he is usually very quiet and on the backburner when a wolf, regardless of his reasons for being away.

Fair enough. That sounds more than reasonable, to me. In any case, I agree that Tomorrow is remarkably silent, and is someone I wish to keep a somewhat closer eye on.

 

[twietee]

[Plutonius]

I think that he meant that he led the final bandwagon vote on Touch (i.e. he was instrumental in getting Touch killed).

I'm keeping my chart the same since any voting or switching people did after killing Touch is meaningless until we get another WW. I also would never clear / convict someone for being more or less active.

This is however a participation game so I hope people choose inactive red choices before active red choices (I'm still voting WoodNUFC next turn). Once we get another WW, we can connect the dots and mostly clear a lot of people.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

Ah, well, yes, whatever……(wipes glasses and replaces them on nose)…..

The records speak slightly differently, but let us not dispute that now, as there are others who may merit closer attention over the next few hours than our splendid Thief & Crew-Leader from Luthadel...

if your talking about techgod vote above me, that wasn't bolded at the time of my vote, so tech i was the first as correctly stated by pluto.

also, pluto are you going to share your scan?

 

[Scepticalscribe]

correct.

At least you are posting relatively consistently; there are a great many rather silent members of our company……

I think Rick got Tech and Touch confused.

 

[rick snagwell]

I think Rick got Tech and Touch confused.

nope, why would touch vote for touch?

also, it be worse for me to vote for touch after techgod did, why would i continue the bandwagon to help vote off a fellow ww?



also fwiw, i think twietee is rebel.

 

[twietee]

nope, why would touch vote for touch?

You were the first to vote for Techgod midgame during Day 1. But anyway, I think Rick is a rebel fwiw, too.

I just happened to have won the MRfantasy Cup final right now, so all is good!
