Re: A Small Wager – A Practical Guide to Evil
If it helps, Kraken, I agree with you that 3SC's Aspect doesn't obviously fit with Above. And also... hmm.
I need to make a claims list, don't I?I'm writing stuff, come and read it!

Re: A Small Wager – A Practical Guide to Evil
So - cards on the table, I borrowed your Brew Aspect. My Aspect doesn’t tel me exactly what the power does or anything about your Name.
My initial thought was that you were the Concocter. While the character with that Name is ostensibly a Villain, in practice they fit far better as a Neutral (hell, the TVTropes page lists them as ‘Morally Ambiguous Named’ for a reason).
Furthermore, there is no character for Above with an Alchemist Name in the serial proper, though references to a Villain with that Name are made in the backstory of a certain Hero.
I was willing to put money on the fact that you were a Neutral. That was one of the reasons I had less issue with you full claiming here - an open Neutral is one less place for a Villain to claim later, while not necessarily leaving a target for wolfteam to NK later.
The man continued to sip on his brandy, his smile having turned decidedly rueful. In Procer, he was used to being vilified for use of magic - even if it was not his own. And with a Name like his, he supposed he could see how someone might misunderstand him. Still, he had played his part.
He had Confiscated the potion-maker’s Aspect, though had yet to have the time to sit down and craft anything he could Use out of it. He held up an opaque vial, the liquid inside cascading with unfettered possibility.
Is that clear enough for you?Last edited by 3SecondCultist; 2024-04-10 at 04:13 PM.

Re: A Small Wager – A Practical Guide to Evil
Day One final vote count.
Xihirli 4: Caedorus, CaoimhinTheCape, Snowblaze, MerelBlackbird
Persolus 3: flat_footed, Athedia, Cazero
Cazero 3: Persolus, AvatarVecna, Let'sGetKraken
flat_footed 1: 3SecondCultist
Caedorus 1: Xihirli
Not voting: Dakrsidder
Persolus was struck thrice by Judgement.
Night One: Persolus was killed, and had three minor and two major injuries.
Day Two:
flat_footed was struck thrice by Judgement, despite only having one vote.
Night Two: no-one died.
flat_footed is the White Knight, Above, and has the Aspects Smite and Rise.
Snowblaze claims to have a one-shot vig, usable in any phase.
Caedorus claims to be the Thief, neutral, wanting to survive long enough to accomplish some end, and to have mechanical evidence that Snowblaze and flat_footed are town. Soft-confirmed by Snowblaze.
MerelBlackbird claims to be the Alchemist, town, and to have the Aspects Imbue (a set of one-shot powers) and Brew (a set of "regular" powers). Verified by 3SecondCultist? Also claims to have received a minor injury Day Two.
3SecondCultist claims to have a power relating to stealing Aspects, and to have targeted MerelBlackbird Night Two and found evidence they are Above.
Athedia verifies that 3SecondCultist has the power he claims with a Night Two power usage.
Let'sGetKraken has information from Night Two which fits with 3SecondCultist stealing MerelBlackbird's power.
Probably missing stuff. Please point it out if so. I will at some point reread thread to check for that missing stuff.

I am also an idiot. Yeah. 3SC's claim makes sense. It is too long since I last read PGTE.I'm writing stuff, come and read it!

Re: A Small Wager – A Practical Guide to Evil
When the options from story are the Salutory Alchemist (Villain) or the Concocter (technically also Villain)… yeah. Either Neutral or wolf. I’m not buying an Above Name there - especially not with mine already in play. Role-wise in a game, they bump; why have two on the same team?
I haven’t quite got a handle on your Name yet btw, Kraken (so no need to feel bad about missing my hints!). So far your initial logic from D1 is one of the reasons you’ve been townread, but I don’t want to proceed too much further without at least some intimation of a claim from you.
- - - Updated - - -
To be clear, that is not what I said. I said they are ‘probably not wolf’, because I thought they were Neutral and a Concocter.
Them claiming Alchemist instead throws it all off, and is making me increasingly suspicious.Spoiler: Stuff I'm Working OnSmall Justice

Re: A Small Wager – A Practical Guide to Evil
Mmm. Yeah, there is no character with the Name of Alchemist in the story iirc, which very much does not fit with the Names that have been revealed.

Re: A Small Wager – A Practical Guide to Evil
Merel Blackbird.
I think I would like to see a full claim from her now, with details on Aspects.
Quiet folks, anyone else care to weigh in here? Who defended Merel initially (beyond the ‘there is no case’).Last edited by 3SecondCultist; 2024-04-11 at 10:08 PM.

Re: A Small Wager – A Practical Guide to Evil
MerelBlackbird, yeah, sure.
If we do decide we're killing her for this it's probably better for me to shoot her so that we can have actual discussion about the elimination as normal.
Or possibly it's better to have a single elimination wagon to remove the possibility of vote manipulation affecting things.

Uh, me? Me + Kraken definitely townread Merel's "I'm okay with dying" post. I will need to reread.

Re: A Small Wager – A Practical Guide to Evil
...huh. I did not see that coming.
Whatever, I can't see in the mind of the host. I strengthen temporarily (stolen); I have a heal and a permanent strengthen left in my one shots, I was planning to give them to flat and Athedia. Although I might strengthen Cultist instead now, he seems like a good choice.
I really should finish the serial. If my role name can cost me my life - I ought to have known.

Re: A Small Wager – A Practical Guide to Evil
Don't worry, neither have I.
I do think that whether there is room in Above for Merel depends very much on a) whether we have a Hedge Witch, which is absolutely what I thought Merel was until the claim and b) whether Cultist has a set of one-off abilities.
But I am comfortable with a Merel wagon.
But hey, Caohimn, you mind giving us a little insight or action here? If we shoot Merel, I kind of want to wagon you in the absence of any reason not to.Last edited by Let'sGetKraken; 2024-04-10 at 04:40 PM. Reason: Word choice for cryptic reasons

Re: A Small Wager – A Practical Guide to Evil
We have 44 hours (barring some silly Aspect shortening the phase). I’m willing to wait to hear a claim and get the takes of some other people before we commit to a vig plan. I would like the opportunity to cross-examine statements earlier about Merel and vote movements from D2 in conjunction to how folks vote here.
Let’s start with someone else confirmed as Town: flat, besides Merel who are your top scumreads and why? Also, I never asked you if you were compelled to speak in haikus. I suspected someone (who hadn’t read Guide) was the Exalted Poet, but it might just be shenanigans.Spoiler: Stuff I'm Working OnSmall Justice

Re: A Small Wager – A Practical Guide to Evil
I Stole your Brew so I know that is one of your aspects
This is me gloating that my Steal power is so much better than your Confiscate because the target doesn't notice or lose the use of the aspect
Unrelated: I think wolves tried to kill Flat, and I took a major injury Protecting him. OUCH

Re: A Small Wager – A Practical Guide to Evil
I can see the unpairing.
I do need to go back and see if I can find any pairing. Right now, my focus is too tunnelled.
Is it possible that BookWombat gave you a Name not technically in the story to throw off those of us who have read it all multiple times? Yes. I hope you understand that I am keeping my vote where it is until I hear from some other folks and do a bit more digging.
If you still want to strengthen me in spite of that, I won’t say no. It’s ultimately your call.
Neat. I’m not going to comment on the specifics and limitations of my aspects any more than I already have (don’t you know wolf team are listening in?), but I’m quite happy with my Name and Aspects overall.Spoiler: Stuff I'm Working OnSmall Justice

Re: A Small Wager – A Practical Guide to Evil
flat is definitely a better choice than Athedia or Caedorus though and I won't object if you choose that.
I do think healing me is probably better for town though, but that requires you to trust me sufficiently to do that.I'm writing stuff, come and read it!

Re: A Small Wager – A Practical Guide to Evil
I would say a strengthened White Knight is a story blade we can use to force Providence later. That generally seems like a great thing to have in the endgame.
The question is: how injured is flat? If he’s okay, then I say give it to him. Otherwise, someone else you trust as town is a good bet. I am currently uninjured, which does make me a good alternate.Spoiler: Stuff I'm Working OnSmall Justice

Re: A Small Wager – A Practical Guide to Evil
Hells, a White Knight struck down and protected, brought back to the peak of their strength and aided by their fellow heroes? That is straight up a Story to use against wolfteam.

Thanks, and I really hope all this works. Good luck to the town when I am gone, and I hope you and Caedorus get some good use out of my boosts. (Assuming you can use what you stole/borrowed/confiscated).
