My name is Bernard Grey, and I have some of the most awesome flavour ever. (Seriously, I'll repaste this stuff out of PMs and into my quicktopic after, because whoosh! kicked its ass out of the park.)
I've got ten envelopes; well, seven now. Each of them has the name of a major arcana on it, and each night, I can open one, take out the card inside, and reap my "rewards," which often seem to end with me stuck in a painful hallucination for a bit. Each card does something, but I've got no clue what until I open them.
(The envelopes: The Fool, The High Priestess, The Emperor, Fortitude, The Hanged Man, Death, The Tower, The Star, The Sun, Judgement)
Night one, I opened "The Sun". It netted me some cool flavour, but no immediate effects. When N2 showed up, though, it was obvious what I'd done; I'd shortened the second night.
That made my basically-random selection of "The Star" that night kind of annoying when I found out what it did. Good job, me, you went and created a nightchat on the NIGHT YOU SHORTENED.
So anyway, that happened, then there was a duel, which ended without as much information as we'd hoped for.
Then day three happened. Not going to lie, I've still only mostly skimmed it, as I've been either busy or completely fried for... probably something close to a fortnight. Maybe more? Whatever the duration, I had no energy for looking into patterns of speech and potential what-ifs, so I mostly avoided things aside from the occasional skimming of a new post.
Last night, though, puts me in the realm of black-and-white logic, which is something I can do even when fried. Give me "look at his phrasing and tell me what you see" and I'm basically next to useless. Give me plain, straightforward facts, though, and I'm good to go.
Here's how it is: I opened "The High Priestess" last night, and the flavoury journey through a tower and stuff lead me to a prophecy:
- (7) - Drakenforge, Pinary,
Pinary - (3) - Mirdini, Woffles, Dragon Fogel
Dragon Fogel - (1) â SleepingOrange
Yes, that's the whole thing, and yes, I made sure I'm allowed to post it.
The flavour ended with an ultimatum: Basically, fulfill the prophecy or die. Those of you quick with numbers might notice that the moment we lynch someone, matching that section of votals becomes impossible.
So I'm asking that we take some care to make the votals end up like this. I know, it'll involve unvoting and whatnot, but it shouldn't be too massively complicated. I've worked out what'd need to be done, and... well basically, if we don't do it this way, I'm dead.
-Mirdini, Woffles, Fogel: Vote for me, in that order.
-Slorange: Vote for Fogel some time before we lynch Sruix (I'm assuming we're lynching Sruix here. My survival's not predicated on him being the lynchee, but it seems like we've got a fairly solid case for him being scum.)
-Dforge: Stay on Sruix.
-Me: Vote: Sruixan.
-Everyone else: Once the above is completed, drop votes on Sruix until we hit seven
Sorry for dumping this on you, and I know big claims like this are frowned upon, but I can't just hold onto it and hope things line up right. It's this or I die, and we really can't afford it.
I'll be around for a good few hours if you have any questions, and I'll probably post a bit later with some thoughts on the implications of Sol's flip. It seems like the sort of thing worth digging through the thread over.
