[Nirur Torir]

My first vote was for Halmie. I think it had the normal effect.
My second vote was for myself. With rules 4 & 5 up, it gave me a vote on point y, as I'll call it.
My third vote was for Leafsnail. With rule 4 up and 5 down, it gave me another vote on point y.
LASD unvoted Shades (I think?), and Shades now has a vote he didn't have before.

[Nirur Torir]

Does anyone have anything to say? Hello?

[Pandarsenic]

You think the y axis is controlled by our own votes?

[Rysith]

All is quiet as the weekend continues on. Nevertheless, it seems that whoever, or whatever, is responsible for this place feels the need to drop another tablet on you, this time streaking to the ground trailing green flame. As soon as the copper tablet has cooled, you can make out the following words:

Silence. Hello?, you ask. We are here, do not worry. Your situation remains the same, but you have six fewer hours before the deadline. Neither the votes, nor the rules, will change unless you will it.

We continue to wish you all the best of luck.


The tablets continue to lie immobile, their texts a history of the day's events.

[Pandarsenic]

Extension. ._.

[Halmie]

Oops, didn't realise it had resumed.
Extension request.

[Vector]

Agreed, Extension.

And, because I said nothing earlier--my condolences for your loss.  Take care.

[Alsark]

Indeed - extension.

[Pandarsenic]

Which person or people possess(es) the most votes on him as of this time?

[GlyphGryph]

Extension as well, assuming that's even an option.

I still think our best bet is to agree on the scummiest person and then figure out how to vote them off.

[Nirur Torir]

I wonder what will happen when I unvote.

Question: Do rule changes only take effect when we're told that they've changed?

[Rysith]

There you are, trying to figure out the rules (though unsucessfully, it seems) when suddenly, with a blinding flash of light and a deafening clap of thunder, a lightning bolt strikes near where you have been gathering the other tablets. Where it struck, words have been formed out of glass. They read:


You would have us set back the progress of time, move the very sun and moon that you might have more time to deliberate? Within our powers, we admit, but not an ordinary request. If more than two out of every three of you wish that we will, we shall move the celestial sphere such that you have an extra twenty-four hours before you must make your decisions.

But, we must commend you on your search for truth and meaning thus far. You have accomplished the first step, to notice your environment, and have embarked on the second, to find the structure that underlies it. To aid you in your search, we can only tell you that the rules are consistant, except when you change them. There is no caprice on our part involved.

Now then, the matter of your decisions. Here are your votes as they stand:

Alsark[0,1]
Apostolic Nihilist[1,1]
Leafsnail[0,2]
Nirur Torir[0,2]
Shades[1]
Toonyman[1,2]


Now then, the matter of your questions:

Which person or people possess(es) the most votes on him as of this time?
The rules change as you change them, not as we announce their status, just as your votes and suspicions do. We cannot send a message every time someone changes something, can we? They are all currently still active, in case you were wondering.

Do rule changes only take effect when we're told that they've changed?
At this time, there is a three way tie for most votes, and a three way tie as to who shall die when night reaches us.

Hopefully, that answers them to your satisfaction. If not, don't hesitate to ask more. We'll always be here, even if we can't always write to you.

[Shades]

Extension because time is always good.
Vote Count because why not.

Based on the current votes and the fact it's a tie I'd go with Apostolic Nihilist, Toonyman and myself being the tiees (is that a word?), however there is also three with equal secondary numbers.

Also note that Nirur's unvote didn't change any numbers.

I'm also going to vote zai more because I think that will help my work out the system than any other reason.

[GlyphGryph]

Wonderful, a three way tie... and we can't even be sure who it's between!

Anyways, not voting, because I want to see what happens with Shades' vote.

But in case it didn't stick last time, I'm going to make sure I'm UNVOTEd

[LASD]

At this time, there is a three way tie for most votes, and a three way tie as to who shall die when night reaches us.

Basing on this the second number tells who dies, the first one is some completely different vote.

Also, I started thinking that there's might be nothing wrong with how voting works (except for having two numbers), just that the announced votecounts are inaccurate, or just accurate at other times, scrambled like the answers to questions. At least my vote appearing on Shades after a long time supports this. What makes it problematic is the first votecount, Rysith couldn't have known what we will vote in the future.

Other thing that bothers me was that Rysith explicitly pointed out that FoS's use the blue color, which means they likely have some significance. Sadly, it doesn't seem they are the second number.

Also, RedWarrior0 is the scummiest of the bunch.
