Alan, after reading through everything, it makes sense plus it kind of gives AE an out.

unvote Hoopsguy

vote Ardent Enthusiast

I've played in enough WW games and participated in enough other threads on these forums with AE to safely say that I highly doubt AE did all of that this morning on that forum to have an out here in this WW game. I don't think we have any better chance of getting a wolf voting for AE in this game than we do randomly voting for anyone else.. plus AE has admitted getting more into "better" roles in WW in the past..

My guess is that AE is probably a good character from a fairy tale without much of an ability.

My guess is that AE could have any role under the sun. Good character without much of an ability is the most likely but I do like the inactive D1 vote. I'm a little concerned about it being a run-away vote but we're not there yet, though one could argue my vote will tip in that direction. So I would like to vote AE but am holding off for now in hopes a second viable candidate emerges.

Render if you need a replacement for AE I'll take it...however I won't be able to play over the weekend (Friday Night to Sunday mid day)

let me know ASAP so I can start saving my butt

PM Also sent to you as well

Just catching up, I'm up to my eyelets in work right now. Didn't see the AE/poll thing (haven't been on GD yet today), but if he doesn't show up today then I'm willing to vote that way. I'll check back in a bit later.

I am here as well. Don't know who to vote for, but I imagine it will be someone without a vote as is my norm.

i hate runaway votes too. The following people have not checked in:

sebastian0622
telle
schmidty
mr. wednesday
ntndeacon

I'm fine with voting for AE based on his inactivity, though given what happened over on GD, I also would be fine with giving him another day to chill out and join the party...I'll vote with the village either way and hope we are getting a wolf...

whoops, check that

sebastian0622
telle
schmidty
mr. wednesday

Checking in.

No offense RendeR, but if I don't have at least a chance to defend myself/AE before being voted off I really don't want to play a "what if" type role. So thanks anyway.

I will withhold voting pending a determination as to ardent's disposition.

Lynching does not end the game for a player in this one SnDvls, its like getting sent to the jail square in Monopoly, you can get out if another player assists you.

Your call. I appreciate you offering though.

I understand, but it would be a wasted day on my part as the vote is pretty much headed to a runaway. If AE doesn't come back he's gone and is just a wasted role IMO good or bad and won't be participating.

I understand you wanting to touch base with him and as GM that is your choice I'm just not interested in taking over after the vote as I'd still be stuck in a "what if" situation. With day one actions or inaction in this case being so critical in WW games it's not a spot I'm interested in starting from.

If you wish we can take this to PM to keep the game clutter free

Back from my exam.

If SnDvls wants to play, I'd avoid voting AE and go for another person who hasn't checked in yet......

If we don't want an AE runaway, let's make this thing a race.

VOTE ALAN T

That works, too. I voted for Alan T just because he was the only guy with a vote.

I'd much rather not vote off Alan T just because.

Then read the rest of the sentence!

Well it would allow me to have more time to sit in boring conference calls at work and actually pay attention as opposed to reading here... so there is an upside to it :)

*shrug* its day 1, I don't mind getting votes. If people would rather vote off someone who will be active in discussions and contribute the whole time over someone who either hasn't checked in, won't be around or likely hiding Under the radar the entire time (not saying this is AE, there are plenty of people who have not checked in yet).. then well thats your choice, and everyone can look at your later motivation for doing so. :)

I've been voted off plenty of times as a good guy before, and figure I will be again in the future. Someone has to go at day 1. I would prefer it not be me though, since I haven't played in WW for a few weeks, and with the holidays coming won't get to play for a while longer after this either. Its your choice though, vote as you wish :)

I'm heading out though for a while to run some errands and take care of things. May or may not be back before deadline though.

I'm here. I'm queer. Get used to it.

FYI - if AE doesn't return I will be taking his place bog or no bog please do not let that effect your vote...thanks

VOTE SNDVLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

j/k

Ok, self-preservationalist question here...does AE"s vote for me stand?Though I imagine either way Sndvls would want to change it, what with the deductive reasoning of my being first to sign up and all...

I know it's been stated, but just to make it official and clear to everyone
unvote jeheinz72

thanks RendeR

based on this post I can assume Alan will be removing his vote on me


so to put a vote back on the person who just did a vote on my alter ego I'll VOTE PurdueBrad

Vote hoopsguy

Why? Because I have no reason!!!!!!! And neither do any of you!!!!!!!!

I don't like excessive exclamation marks. It's a pet peeve of mine.

Vote Schmidty

That's dumb. VOTE BARKEEP

Strange retaliation.

VOTE ANXIETY

Man you wouldn't think so if you had to work with elementary school teachers who feel that the exclamation mark deserves more usage than a period. Granted many of them are quite bubbly people but the exclamation mark should be cherished and used sparingly and these teachers bang away at it like they're a two buck whore.

DOLA : IT shoudl also be noted that it was in response to Schmdity claiming no one had a reason. So I gave a reason alright :)

I'm going for a not yet checked-in person. Since I know Sebs, I'll give him a mulligan and...

Vote Telle

I'm outtie in about 45 minutes, unlikely to return by deadline. Open to change, if someone has an actual reason to...

I love exclamation points!

back briefly, but will be away again for an hour or more, sorry.
Glad to have you in the game SnDvls.

And as I said, my vote on Alan was a joke, so I certainly won't be keeping it on him.

UNVOTE ALAN T

Any idea if he's planning on showing up at some point?

Honestly, nothing concrete either way, but from what I know of him from various leagues he's a pretty reliable guy. I'll ping him right now in fact.

Oh you're just jealous :)

VOTE CHIEF RUM

Basic retaliation vote.

UNVOTE TELLE

She checked in...gotta decide in 9 minutes who now...

Okay, I thought this sort of thing wasn't allowed? I got voted off because I "reminded" daddytorgo to check in... just sayin'.

Yep, as long as doing so won't put me in risk of being lynched myself, I'll be doing as I said before and going after someone who either hasn't checked in or hasn't put in much.

If moving my vote off you puts me at risk of lynch however, I'll keep it there until that changes, after all better you than me :)

Dola, does anyone have a vote count? I just got home and am going to be tied up a bit doing chores. If not, then I'll figure one out in an hour or so.

Oh really? If so, my bad, I had no idea. If people want to vote me out (I already sent it, otherwise I just wouldn't) then I understand, but honestly, I had no idea.

In following the last few games, I've never understood with CR is always left hanging around. It's as if because he's gone people forget he's an option. Eventually, it's going to bite the village

Vote Chief Rum

I have a ton of stuff to do now that I'm home, so I'm gonna:

vote jeheinz72

I'm out for a while.

Well, last person to check in is Sebastian. I'll go that way like I mentioned before

Vote Sebastian

Hehe, make that

unvote Hoopsguy


Where's RendeR, why can't I vote for RendeR, that's always fun!

vote Alan T just 'cuz and only for now.

This makes no sense to me. Only for now? Until when? 7:30? 8:45? :)

Hehe, I was thinking until about 5:47 CST.

And for the good nature you showed with my vote, I will move it at 5:47 because only another fairy tale person could be so good natured!

I'm torn on who to vote for now. As a general rule I don't like to move my vote but don't feel right voting for sndvls at this point. I'm on my phone so I have limited capabilites, I will officially move it later and will most likely move it to another player who has been absent or quiet today.

I don't think you unvoted me/Ardent before this FYI so it might not be valid

I think all of the AE votes were simply cancelled out

actually your post prior to this was correct as you had already unvoted hoopsguy.

ah would make some sence although I read RendeR's post as the vote AE made was invalid, but all the other votes would be transfered to me...either way I seem to be semi ok.

unvote Schmidty
Vote sebastian

I like killing those who don't check in.

Alright, 5:47 it is and I'll vote for as good a reason as any:

unvote Alan T

vote SnDvls just 'cause he's got his vote on me.

BTW, not only no RendeR to vote for, but no NeonChaos either!

According to Render's vote count, I hadn't placed a vote. I think he just removed all votes involving AE.

boy you and JHeinz were all over the place today

unvote Purdue Brad
vote Sebastian

CR won't be here today as stated in prior post...Seb hasn't check in

here's his original quote....if he goes down I'll be looking at those who voted for him first tomorrow.

dola - Telle gets a slim pass as that vote is just a payback vote

here's my vote count then

Telle - Chief Rum (73)
JHeinz - Dodger Chick (151)
Alan - Pass (118)
Hoops - Schmidty (133)
SnDvls - PurdueBrad (167)
Barkeep - Anxiety (135)
Chief Rum - Telle (144), JHeinz(150) NTN (160)
Sebas - Alan (153), Barkeep (166), SnDvls (171)

well since sebastian hasn't checked in:

unvote jejeniz72
vote sebastian0622

I'm out soon until after deadline most likely. In keeping with my basic WW philosophy,

UNVOTE ANXIETY
VOTE SEBASTIAN

Hope you try again sometime......but you gotta check in, man.

Is Sebastian new? I don't recall playing with him.

Dola....sometime=next game. It's not like you've gotta sit out or anything. ;)

I'm assuming he is, I haven't played with him either.

VOTE ST. CRONIN

Why you ask? Because he's been quieter than even me today. Okay I have no real reason just had to vote for someone.

Reading the rules and such over again, and it looks like its going to be a wild night in Fairyland. Should we be talking strategy for where to go tonight or a bit too late for that?

Ok, I'm heading off to put the little ones to bed. Most likely I will not make it back before deadline.. and this will be typical throughout the game Mondays through Thursdays.

I am having a bit of a problem figuring what type of strategy we would work on right now. I don't have a full grasp of how the night kill action works other than it seems the rule hints at it happening during the day along with everything else. Without understanding how that action works and what impact being in different rooms at night has, I don't know that we can strategize about alot just yet.

I think I can give back a little information to help out though.. I already submitted my day actions and got a PM back instantly, so I assume others have done the same. There hasn't been any note of anyone dying or anything yet, so not sure if attacks happen immediately or if they are reported at the end of the day though.

One question I have for Render though.. lets say hypothetically today I searched for an item and hypothetically found a weapon of some sort... I don't have any attack action as part of my role, now that I have a weapon can I have an attack action tommorrow? The rules were a bit unclear for me on that.. can everyone attack as an action during the day with or without a weapon? Or even with a weapon do I still not have the action to attack if my initial PM doesn't state it?

VOTE HOOPSGUY

If he's a wolf: Woo hoo, good guess.
If he's a villager: Then we finally lynched his arrogant ass as a villager.

Why is it a good thing to finally lynch his arrogant ass as a villager? :p

With only an hour left and still no check-in, I'll vote for Sebastian. I may or may not be back before deadline to alter that vote; if he should check in and I get back on before deadline, I'll vote someone else.

VOTE Sebastian0622

I'll follow suit, particularly I thought I had seen him check in before but that was somebody else. So, to continue my trend of being all over the place:

unvote Sundevils
vote Sebastian

Yeah I agree with you Alan. There's a lot of unknown with this game with the 2 different actions, no defined roles, etc. So people are just waiting to see what happens tonight so they get a better idea of how things work. Tomorrow I think there's going to be a lot of information out there to evaluate, so probably best to wait till then to really get into the game. I was just hoping someone else would have a better grasp on things than I do at the moment. :)

Well the vote on sebastain was easy but in this game I don't think that means jack.

Well, I'm finally home and have real internet access...looks like my vote for AE was wiped out...

I've never played with Sebastian before and am kind of wary of jumping on that bandwagon. Cronin has been especially quiet today which makes me very nervous, so I'm going to follow my gut and place my vote there.

Vote St. Cronin

and as RendeR has said he's not dead just in the Bog so hopefully he shows up.

quiet night

Cronin, I apologize for being an arrogant villager. Please don't kill me. I would use a couple of exclamation points here, but I've heard those are not too popular in these here parts.

Time to take a look at the latest vote counts and arguments ...

And upon further review it looks like a landslide on Sebastian - anyone want to put a percentage on how likely he is to be a wolf? I'll say pretty low ...

I'll vote back because Cronin at least offers some possibility of an alternate candidate with this as the third vote on him.

VOTE ST.CRONIN

I guess deadline? Just realized it was EST.

(twiddles thumbs)
