The broken sword blade is highly polished like a mirror and those runes might say something if we used the sword on it to reflect them? Also we still never did anything with the triangle lock did we? And we still aren’t greenhorns, dang it

Yeah, we've still got exits up the stairs (lock of locks) and in the east wing (greenhorn door) we haven't done anything with; we also still don't know what the lettering in the courtyard says

OP says this is a “role heavy” game. I assume that means little vanilla. Town has a cop, doc, vig for traditional roles. Plus my hint getting role and kaschei’s user power. The N1 boon was to find out my role name for Maer. I got a track and tracked Hal nowhere. Scum had a roleblocker. I think we should claim.

I don’t think a godfather is out of the question. But I also think scum likely have a power connected to solving the puzzles as well. MSRR fits as scum who has a puzzle related role based on posting. Opop could be a Godfather. I doubt Hal is a ninja. I think it’s probably MSRR I just don’t wanna get burned here. Especially since no elim here requires full participation and probably just I die so not crazy about that.

My role is that, once per day, I can look at something in private. It's exactly the same as the regular look option though I get no extra info. I haven't used it yet because I can't think of a single reason why I would

Yea my role is the same think action you can do in thread. It is a free action, however. I just used it tonight to learn that we have to change the runes in some way and likely write them somewhere to solve the puzzle. I think we have to write them possibly in the sand or on the line and that the runes may correspond to NSWE but there’s five so idk

That's pretty much what I was thinking, use the quill to write them in the sand. Question is where the Sword fits in

Ok, first off: My ability is that I can guess each night (including n0) who does the successful solve the following day - if I get it right I get a copy of the boon (this does not preclude me from solving the puzzle and getting the boon myself, but no I cannot guess myself and get a double boon, that was the first thing I asked :P). So far I have beefed all attempts, which means I am doing an excellent job of maintaining my brand. But anyway, again, I am not scum. One of you said lovingly and respectfully assholes is pulling some bullshit, and the best thing I can think of is that not all of Maer's results were right. I've had some questions about yuming before now, and after a re-read that's definitely where I'm leaning. Like, let's go back to D1 - first we had a weird wishy-washy back and forth on the TPC vote, first starting it for "no reason" but then backing off and on again; this whole exchange feels like yuming voting for TPC to gain cred early on and then trying to pull away, but fully committing after other people started looking TPC's way too. yuming essentially soft-cleared Hal by saying he didn't visit anybody on N2, which she said came from the boon and we're all assuming is true, but if yuming is also the one who beefed kaschei on N2 that would be a great way to distance herself from the kill, keeping anybody from scrutinizing what she did N2 while otherwise gaining some more solid town cred. There's also this, which felt a little off at the time and still does now: yuming posted:kaschei is an interesting kill. I thought I was gonna be me or Maer tbh. This feels like a way to acknowledge the kill without actually saying much, and the "I thought it was gonna be me" part feels kinda weird tonally; like the whole thing feels like that one Eric Andre meme with the gun and the "How could anybody do this?" bit (this also makes me think I might have been right back on D2 when I had questions about her post, re: AFQM - a lot of odd familiarity going on with the dead here) Plus yuming is trying real hard to control today's narrative right out of the gate, which is... something I historically do not like at all. I've watched too many good scum players use their positions to lead town around by the nose by simply being either first or loudest, and I'm not convinced that's not what we're seeing here. Maer mentioned there maybe being either a bus driver or a godfather role; I know a bus driver can redirect somebody's action, and a godfather gives false positives(? i am absolutely a mechanical idiot when it comes to mafia, so if i am wrong here please correct me). And god knows I could be wrong in my analysis - if we do have a bus driver or whatever else in play then lol;lmao, meaning it could just as easily be Opop, or Hal. But I feel like there's gotta be some kind of shenanigans going on, and based purely off of posts, my gut instinct is making me go toward yuming.

Bus driver is a good idea. It could dodge the track and Maers cop and bypass the doc. I did you drive each night, MSRR?

Tho I guess it’d only be N1 and don’t fit with the role blocker. So godfather is really the most likely foil to town here.

yuming posted:Nice try. But town pov here is to look at all possibilities. That's a very negative assumption that I haven't looked at anyone else, and while I might could build out a case against Opop it'd be nowhere near as strong as the litany of things I just pointed out about your own posts (and being fair I think the only case any of us could bring against Hal is "he's lurking, and that's never a good Hal sign", which, meh). Also I do not vote until I am good and ready to do so, thank you kindly; while you may be my number one candidate at the moment that doesn't mean I can't listen to reason as to why it could be one of the others - I am very capable of changing my mind, and I don't like voting unless I feel set. Hell, maybe I'm OMGUSing and we're both wrong, I don't know. But given the evidence I have available to me, and the fact that it looks like you're flailing right now, I'm pretty sure I'm right.

On top of all that, I don't know if I buy that ability either - saying your power is "be smart at the game" is a real good way to cover up a scum ability by just being, yknow, smart at the game.

My role is walk thru reader. Maer didn’t explicitly confirm this in thread, but she did get my role name. Opopanax posted:Hmm. I don't buy yuming at all, but msrr going after her and not me is giving me some pause MSRR’s power also sounds scummy. I think the simple answer is correct here. Also describing me as “flailing” is an oversell.

Opopanax posted:Hmm. I don't buy yuming at all, but msrr going after her and not me is giving me some pause The worst thing I can find in your posts is being kinda aggressive back on D1, which you backed off of, like, right away. And, again, maybe it could be Hal but there's nothing in his posts I can point at and go "yeah, that felt weird". Outta everybody left yuming is the one I think looks the worst - and, no the fact that she's trying to tee me up for a dunk doesn't help. :P yuming posted:Yea just calling Opop GF is easier Why? Why is that easier than calling you a godfather or a busdriver? It isn't - it's an empty statement. You soft bussed TPC on D2, were the driving force behind us all voting out YPM on D3, and now you're trying to leap in front of the day and control the narrative. You aren't even playing the actual IF game anymore, which, if you were town, you'd want to engage with so we could be in a position to actually solve this stupid thing and vote somebody out. Yknow what? gently caress it - you want my vote, I think I've talked myself into it. ##vote yuming fake edit: actually, since you posted while i was writing all this up, wtf is up with this? yuming posted:##think about where to write If you can Think privately as a free action, why are you having to Think here in the thread? Why not use your action on something that would be more beneficial to solving the puzzle?

I didn’t “soft bus” TPC I correctly found them out as scum. The ##think hints aren’t earth shattering, we each get a free one in thread but no one uses them. Has anyone except me used them? They’re in the OP. I’m p sold its MSRR based on their posting here.

Being mildly pedantic I guess but not quite; anybody can think at any time (and several people have, including myself) but it counts as an action, meaning you're put on the standard two-turn cooldown. Someone can only use the Solve command once per day.

I have done many things to the runes in photoshop but nothing gave me an "ah-hah" moment. The way the shapes are formed makes it look like one of those old folding puzzles or something.

Not to be a dick or anything but those runes are just example basic runes from a D&d book, so I don't think it's going to be anything quite so obvious. It's possible we just mirror them anyways and that's the solve but they won't look like anything
