VARSOON VARIETY HOUR : GAME SCRAPPED

[Reasonably Rational]

Hey cerb, are you part of a PT for this game that is not the white hood or a hydra PT?

I do not have access to any PT's related to this game other than my hydra PT.

-Cerb

[Reasonably Rational]

(Also, Varsoon definitely won't let you use your lie detect on that statement, so I wouldn't recommend you try).

What's most important here though is your statement that it's a "white hood".

Does that mean you agree with my reasoning regarding the hood, or do you have independent justifications for coming to that conclusion?

-Cerb

[Chara]

ok, Cerb, i'll try this instead. pretend you're sure i'm town, what do you want me doing? i need to focus up so i can be caught up.
i really want to be knee-deep in this game, because i love the mod and the playerlist, and for some reason that's fallen away.

also, if there's a hood, i want in 100%. i like hoods.

[Reasonably Rational]

Oh, a question about the lie detect: If you submit something which is AI, did Varsoon tell you what happens? Will you simply be told you can't lie detect the statement, and get to choose another? Will it always come up as true? Always come up as false? Or something else?

-Cerb

[Reasonably Rational]

Really, I want a lot more discussion and thought put into the current nonentities of Dunnstral, Micc/nancy, and Icon(and A50 to a lesser extent). I don't have enough firm positions expressed on those slots to really consider today useful when it comes to determining relationships that involve those slots on later days.

-Cerb

[Maid Cafe]

Wait Cerb ask Varsoon if that's a valid question for you ask.
I am genuinely curious now.

~B

[Maid Cafe]

I mean you can rephrase the question if you really wanted to not include factional PTs.
Then it isn't AI.

~B

[Reasonably Rational]

I mean you can rephrase the question if you really wanted to not include factional PTs.
Then it isn't AI.

~B

Yep. If you explicitly exclude factionals than it's acceptable, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't SS's objective. I will gladly rephrase my response though to exclude factional's so it is lie detectable.

For me, I couldn't make that guess because it's related to a single slot. I can guess that hoods with certain characteristics exist though, but those characteristics can't be alignment related. So, I couldn't guess that a hood exists with one scum and two town slots in it, but I could guess that a hood exists where all the members share a color identity.

-Cerb

[Reasonably Rational]

Excluding factional PT's, I do not have access to any PT's related to this game other than my hydra PT.

-Cerb

[Reasonably Rational]

I think that's the best I could do? Maybe there's better phrasing, but I think that accomplishes the objective if SS just wants to confirm that I'm not part of any PT's.

-Cerb

[Bronya Zaychik]

If we get further stuck I am willing to propose a tiebreak.

I am willing to lynch SD, Mark, Micc, Gamma or Iconeum.

As a hydra, we prefer Micc.
I'd be thrilled with Mark or Iconeum personally.

~Titus

[Maid Cafe]

Well I am voting Gamma, so let's roll.

~B

[Maid Cafe]

SD, Mark, Iconeum I don't really want any of those today.

[SnarkySnowman]

Hey cerb, are you part of a PT for this game that is not the white hood or a hydra PT?

I do not have access to any PT's related to this game other than my hydra PT.

-Cerb

I don't know if it's alignment indicative necessarily. I'm asking Varsoon if this can be allowed though. Alternatively it might be wise to make a statement of "no abilities exist which can affect the results of a lie detect" or something.

I guess we could use it just to ask questions if we really want, that may be useful.

[Reasonably Rational]

Okay, you need to clarify if your ability can lie detect things which the person you're lie detecting has no knowledge of...because I suspect we can't use it to duplicate what my ability can do with regards to the setup.

-Cerb

[Gamma Emerald]

Let me rephrase what I am saying then.

Gamma has no real compelling original ideas and his posts aren't ever really asking questions that could lead to anything, attempt sway people to agree with him or push his reads it's more an attempt to justify what he is doing.

Is this wording better?

~B

Much.

I don’t think Gamma has formed an opinion yet. I think he’s more still feeling shit out and kinda wants the day to end more than anything. That’s the vibe I get from Gamma. More apathetic than not hunting.

This is honestly it, at this point I'd rather let the day end and then use the downtime to form some opinions on the stuff I haven't read yet, because the thread is still moving at a fast enough pace that I don't think I can keep up if I go back to read what I missed now

[Gamma Emerald]

He isn't feeling stuff out at all.
Your putting words and thoughts into his mouth to justify a town read on him.

Which people on this site do so much.

~B

I mean it's not the exact reason I'm not really posting much, that's because I feel kinda marginalized (like everyone either doesn't care about me or thinks I'm scum rather strongly), but it's something I am feeling.

Controlling the plane of Dominaria meant controlling mana itself--many banded together to try to thwart those who would bring devastation to the plane, but alliances were as quick to shatter as they were to form. The volatility of magic turned trust into a fickle thing and it was not long until many were marching what they thought to be a righteous crusade against Chandra Nalaar. Even Chandra's prodigious control of flame could not save her. In a last attempt to change fate, she pointed to the horizon, trying to warn of an unseen foe, but she was run through with a magical blade. The champion that had struck her down looked confused, his own sword having been shaped into a much more potent artifact at the last moment. He staggered backwards, following Chandra's last gesture towards the horizon, only to fail to catch his breath as the sky filled with Eldritch monstrosities. The Eldrazi had, somehow, broken free of their prisons and they were here.

As Chandra's corpse fell limp, the once-sealed rifts on Dominaria opened again. Those who knew of the calamity before them were only certain of one thing--this plane, and reality as they knew it, were coming to an end.

[Varsoon]

Shining Dreamers has been lynched!

I asked if they wanted to do things the easy way. I meant easy for me. You are in a Private Thread with two other Red Planeswalkers. You may chat in the following topic at any time: [REDACTED] Chandra's gifts set her apart and others aflame. You gain one Red mana for the first time each Day phase that; You are the first player voting for another player. A wagon that you started reaches L-2. A player is lynched within 48 hours of you starting a wagon on them. The Land here seems to go out of its way to kill you. You will win the game if all players that are members of The End are dead. You will lose the game if The Sparkbearers ever have equal or less living members than The End .

Welcome to the Multiverse, Chandra Nalaar. Your starting spells are:

Oath of Chandra

Flooding forth like a tidal wave of writhing flesh, the Eldrazi brood cascaded over the plains and hills, scouring all life in their wake. The Planeswalkers, whom had previously been so consumed in their interpersonal strife, found themselves back-to-back, relying on each other merely to survive. The onslaught seemed unending as meaty tendrils and chitinous spikes flirted through armor and flesh as if there were no difference between the two. Eventually, a lone Planeswalker, calling upon the strength of Dominaria herself, seeking energy from every heartbeat that desired refuge, called forth vindication from the will of millions under siege. A mighty star rose into the sky, pulsing with purifying light, engulfing the horde and the Planeswalker's armies alike. The miniature Sun then shrunk back in on itself, collapsing into a void that took away the armies and the Eldrazi, stripped the land of its enchantments and magical splendor, and left naught in its wake but the Planeswalkers themselves.

All Creatures, Artifacts, and Enchantments have been removed from the game. There are currently no Spell cards in play.

Before anyone could start to make sense of what happened, the next calamity split the sky. Where the great work of magic had been spun, a rift in the plane was torn. Reality itself was coming undone, and this most recent attempt to save everyone may have been the very act that doomed them. The sheer weight and gravity of the spell that had been cast was too much for the already weakened fabric of space itself. The Planeswalkers tried to find who had cast this spell and wrought this fate, only to discover the corpse of Dovin Baan. While all of the other Planeswalkers had floundered in their valor or vigilance, Dovin Baan had responded, all while skewed by a long Eldrazi talon. Pulling the sharp implement from the deceased Planeswalker's heart, the solemn few could do nothing but grieve for this hero and the end of reality. The rift grew larger by the second, engulfing the sky, the seas, and even the ground the survivors stood on. One by one, landmarks faded into the distance. Like ash taking to the breeze, the Planeswalkers themselves were struck from sight. Even their memories waned to dust. Eventually, everything had become nothing.

OntheMark was killed on Night 1!

Dovin Baan
"Dispose of it, and begin again."
You are aligned with the Town Faction, The Sparkbearers . Your Color Identity is Blue and White.
Give me eight walkers, I'll give you the city. Any time an Artifact Spell is played, you gain a Private Thread with it's player. Any time an Artifact Spell is played, you gain one White mana. You may only gain two White mana this way each Day phase. Too much friction on your bearings, your countersinking is inconsistent, and there are lines in your casting. Whenever you make a post that quotes at least five different posts of a single player and makes commentary on each quote, you gain one Blue mana. You may only gain three Blue mana this way each Day phase. I see now that that my plan was badly flawed. You will win the game if all players that are members of The End are dead. You will lose the game if The Sparkbearers ever have equal or less living members than The End .

Welcome to the Multiverse, Dovin Baan. Your starting spells are:

Aetherflux Reservoir
Artifact
Artifact SPELLS MAY BE CAST DURING ANY PHASE. This spell costs four mana of any color to cast.

If you kill a player during the Day phase, the Day automatically ends. If you kill a player during the Night phase, this will be the only Killing action that resolves. This ability may not be used in LYLO/MYLO

Chief of the Foundry
Instant
Artifact Creature SPELLS MAY BE CAST DURING ANY PHASE. This spell costs three mana of any color to cast.
This card does not have a color identity. Artifact Creature spells have public effects and stay in effect until removed from the game. Artifacts you control may vote. The foundries of Kaladesh run like clockwork under the supervision of their formidable overseers.

Cataclysmic Gearhulk
Artifact Creature
Artifact Creature SPELLS MAY BE CAST DURING ANY PHASE. This spell costs two White mana and three mana of any color to cast.
Artifact Creature spells have public effects and stay in effect until removed from the game.

This effect will prioritize spells with lower casting costs, followed by spells cast earlier in the game.

When they opened their eyes, they found themselves in a frigid, cavernous place. Old structures surrounded them, but it all felt familiar. Of course it was. Why would the cold even be surprising? It had always been cold in Snowden. The monsters went about their lives, decorating the tree and giddily gossiping about what presents might be there once they wake up. After all, the denizens of the Underground had lived down here for centuries. Ever since the war with the Humans, monsters had to eek out what they could underground. It's not all bad, though--sure, the ruins are full of perilous puzzles and Snowdin's cold was harsh and the swamps weren't great, but there was a place for everyone to call 'Home' in the Underground. Everything seemed fine. I mean, Everything would be fine if that human hadn't come by recently. Since they came, folks have been disappearing.

disappearing? someone disappeared? oh, yeah, i vaguely remember that. huh, you've already figured this all out, haven't you? i suspected something like this. you're always acting like you know what's going to happen.

You think you are above consequences.
