soulping | DAWON

You’re a sheep! You have no idea who the other sheep teams are. The goal of the sheep is to vote out the two wolf teams before the wolves can kill everyone, while not dying yourselves.

You have your very own team voting account (

teamdawon / TeamD@w0n) that you need to use for voting! This is so any member of the team can change the team’s vote at any time. Use this for ALL the polls.

You can use this private team post to talk with your team for the entire time you’re alive.

Two posts will go up in the main community every day until the game is won.

- The first post is a “day” post that will go up in the main community. This post is a mingle for all currently alive teams to talk to each other, discuss, accuse, strategize, etc. In public.

- It also has a “Which team is the most suspicious?” poll. Each team gets to place one vote in this poll. The two teams with the most votes by 6pm will be facing off in the dusk execution post, and one of them will die.

- Use your special team account to vote. Who your team voted on is hidden to everyone else, so feel free to lie about your actions.

- Voting will be frozen at 6pm sharp. Failure to vote may lead to votes being randomly placed by the Yaksinis, and voting ties will be solved with coinflips.

You may notice these posts are put up with my ‘March’ journal. Don’t pay attention to that, I just needed the paid polls feature.

- Then a “dusk post” happens in the main community with another poll. This poll has only two teams: The two teams that were voted most suspicious in the day post.

- In this poll, teams will be choosing who lives and who dies. The team with the most votes will be executed by the Yaksinis. Like the “day” poll, you have to use your custom team account to vote.

- Voting is public! Everyone will be able to see which team you voted on, and vice versa.

- But if you’re one of the teams up for execution, you can’t vote. Your job is to convince people not to kill you.

- If your team is executed, you won’t be able to participate further in the game, and you’ll be sent to an afterlife post to hang out with the other dead teams until the game is over!

When “Night” happens, there won’t be a public post. Instead, you’ll find a comment on this private team post titled “Night.”

During this period, you don’t have anything to do and can just talk. However, the wolves will be picking a sheep to kill. If you turn out to be that sheep, you’ll be killed in this post and it’s off to the afterlife post with you.

Need something OOCly clarified, player to player? Go ahead and ask here, I'll get to you ASAP!

[If you require the Yaksinis, in all her terrible glory, just shout. But be careful... She's very hungry.]

Okay guys, we have to figure out what we want to do.

I'd rather not pick anyone... but I know that's not an option.

I guess pick a team we don't have any friends on? I feel terrible for even suggesting this, but what can we do?

Okay. So what teams do we avoid?

I'm assuming Barghest already, and I'd like to avoid Tiamat.

Y-Yeah, I'd like to avoid Barghest at all costs.

I don't have a problem with that.

[huff]

Which teams don't we know well? I don't know Ometotchtli, Ratatoskr, Epona, or Amalthea as well as I know the others.

[Chiming in, with an oddly flat sort of voice:]

I know a few people on Amalthea and Epona. Ometotchtli....I feel really bad for them, so I don't want to hurt them.

Robin's on Ratatoskr, though...

Sorry, I know I'm just making this harder.

[She shakes her head.]

No, it's fine. This wasn't going to be easy anyway.

[Rubs her cheek.]

If Ivy wasn't against Tiamat, I'd pick them....because they're new like us, so the older teams probably wouldn't vote for them.

Or that could be exactly why they get voted for.

Look, no one's gonna vote for people they like no matter what if they can avoid it. The older teams have had more time to get to know each other.

[she doesn't exactly look happy to be discussing this.]

Edited 2014-02-21 21:08 (UTC)

That's true, but just because the older teams know each other better doesn't mean they all like each other.

[She doesn't look happy either. More like, carefully blank.]

We don't know for sure either way. It was just an idea.

My point is, that's the same logic that everyone's going to be using. Everyone's gonna be likely to think the same way you are. Whether or not they like each other can be trumped by "we don't know them."

That's a lot of assumptions, but I'm just saying that that's how people could be thinking. It's a dangerous mindset to make any kind of assumption, though.

Edited 2014-02-21 21:18 (UTC)

[Frowning, but nodding after a moment.]

Okay, I understand. We can't predict what anyone else will do.

[Runs a hand through her hair.]

So...what about deciding which teams are definitely hands-off, and we do some kind of lottery for the rest? Barghest is out for sure, and....I really don't want to pick Takshaka or Ometotchtli.

I'd really rather not vote for Tiamat.

[there's a long pause though, before she stands up and stretches.]

If we have to vote, we have to vote, though.

Yeah, but right now we don't have anything else to go on besides personal preferences. If something has to change later, we'll adjust.

[Mrrr.]

So that leaves three teams, unless Yarrow is dead-set on not picking Ratatoskr.

[hff]

Five teams that we could pick from, but if Yarrow's against Ratatoskr, that means we're down to four teams.

[ Bopping Ivy on the head. ]

I'm going with two teams, because narrowing it down isn't exactly a bad thing at this point.

[ He takes out a coin, flips it, and the group decides upon Epona that way. ]

[rubs her head :V]

Fine. Consider it narrowed down!

We have to discuss more things.

Obviously.

[ Yarrow looks pretty pissed. ]

I already don't want to do this anymore.

No one wants to do this goddamn game.

[PISSED OFF AND UPSET]

Ometotchtli and Amalthea. Hydra didn't want to vote for Ometotchtli the first time...

[Also she's just picking at the food.

It reminds her of a home but she, for once, has no appetite.]

[ Yarrow's coming behind with a blanket and wrapping it around Hydra. ]

Don't push yourself to eat, I think that would just make you sick.

[Blinking.]

Ah....maybe. [Not even her starvation badpings can drown out the badfeels of this place.] It's weird, being around food and not wanting to eat it.

[After being confronted with the choice of RABBITS or GOATS...]

What are we going to do?

[She sounds sick.]

You didn't want to vote for Ometotchtli, did you?

I don't want to vote for anyone! [She grits her teeth, lowers her voice. Not voting wasn't an option.] ....I mean, it seems like things don't go their way all that often. They already got two votes, and some teams didn't get any. Voting for them feels really cruel.

But....earlier, I saw Technic from Amalthea....I gave him a thumbs up. He and Rook have been really nice to me. Now I have to betray that.

We can flip a coin.

I don't want to leave someone's life to a coin flip, though. Lives are worth more than that.

Last time wasn't a life threatening decision. This time it is. No coin flipping, we have to decide.

That's why I already said no to the idea, Yarrow.

It's fine when it's not life-threatening, but we can't do that when the lives are actually on the line.

[She thinks about that, then shakes her head.]

....you said not to assume things, but just in case enough people vote for Ometotchtli, I don't want to be part of that.

[They're the underdogs of Kyriakos.]

[... sighs]

Amalthea?

[Bites her lower lip REALLY HARD and nods, silently.]

Let's wait before we answer. The sooner we vote, the more suspicious it is.

....Okay.

[Until then, she'll be picking at the food.]

[and until then, ivy will be pacing. a lot.

and giving the food the most disgusted look ever.]

I think I used to make this kind of stuff back home.

[Mumbled aloud after awhile.]

.. You did?

... I'd eat it if you were the one that made it. I don't want to touch anything this Echo gives us.

I think so. There was a similar kind of dish in one of my memories, and I came from a place with really heavy winters.

[She tries for a smile.]

I'll try making some when this is over, or something.

[Keeps poking at the food, like she's trying to make herself eat it without actually putting any into her mouth.]

... Maybe a few days after. Immediately'd be way too soon.

Yeah, true. [ALMOST PUTS A SAUSAGE IN HER MOUTH (hurr) but puts it back down at the last second.] I'd need to hunt something bigger than rabbits for it, anyway.
