Neither is particularly close to the mark - even though it's the national dress, I have never worn a kilt, and have no intention of wearing one in the future.

Dubb, I've had those posts up for four days now. I'm sorry if there are any errors in them (I'm not going to have time to look now but will later) but I think I've been very consistent in saying that you are among the most trusted villagers in the game based on your two votes for EF on Days 1 and 2. I'm definitely not guilty of trying to do anything to sabotage your credibility.

Pass - I think Autumn's plan of attack (look at the PB voters from D2) and if you don't like the way I worded it then I don't know what to tell you. I also don't have time right now for 20 questions on why I feel this way but I think my posts have been pretty consistent in explaining my viewpoint.

You think Autumn's plan of attack.....what? I'm taking the rest of your post to mean that you DO have time for 19 questions, of which my previous sentence was one.

Thanks. Since DT answered it, I withdraw the question, and still have 19 left.

Passacaglia 05-18-2009 03:03 PM

Anyway, talk about bass ack wards. I see the strategy here, but....uh...EF was the wolf, right?

DaddyTorgo 05-18-2009 03:06 PM

yeah...not sure why we'd look harder at EF (who was the wolf and ended up with MORE votes on him) then at PB who ended up with fewer votes on him. That part to me doesn't make any sense - like the people advancing that strategy want us to have a lower % chance of catching a wolf...

Danny 05-18-2009 03:07 PM

I have never heard of haggis, but it looks interesting. I'd try it.

hoopsguy 05-18-2009 03:13 PM

No, Autumn is saying to look at the PB voters today. To ignore the EF voters and look at the PB ones from Day 2.

Anyone looking at the EF voters today is distracting people from the side of the vote that probably contains more wolves.

And I'm backing that plan knowing that I'm on the wrong side of the vote on Day 2.

I (mostly) was not trying to be a smartass on the 20 questions thing. I'll be lucky to have 10 minutes in the thread over the next couple of hours.

What do you mean, look at the PB voters today -- what other day would we look at them? And really, that use of the word distracting is worrisome from you. You're definitely one of the drivers in this game so far, and to come out with a word like that, as if this is the only thing we should be talking about, just doesn't jive.

I didn't think you were being a smartass on the 20 questions thing -- well, I did, but in a good way -- I just thought you were giving a shout-out to the grilling of clap, but just letting me know that you don't have time. And that's cool -- no one is ever under any obligation to respond, I just kept grilling clap because he was here to chat, but just felt like discussing his vote was meaningless.

Telle 05-18-2009 03:23 PM

Votes as of post #2212

1 - Telle - Poli (1981)
4 - Lerriuqs - Autumn (2021), hoopsguy (2057), saldana (2160), Abe (2189)
1 - Passacaglia - claphamsa (2087)
2 - hoopsguy - dubb (2184), Passacaglia (2190)

DaddyTorgo 05-18-2009 03:27 PM

Ouch - I'm a bad salesman...that guy just raked me over the coals on the phone.

"c'mon...you do this all day...you can do better than that."

Passacaglia 05-18-2009 03:27 PM

So I've got 18 questions left:

Quote:

1112 - MartinD votes EF (breaks tie, vote doesn't move. big vote, in my mind)
1120 - BK unvotes Hoops, votes PB (again missing a chance to vote for a known wolf, not done moving yet)
1123 - PF votes EF (see MartinD above)
1137 - Lerriuqs votes PB (ties it again)


So MartinD's vote was big, but lerriuqs's vote was not? FTR, lerriuqs's vote does not move, either, but you don't mention that. Also FTR, dubb, I don't believe that his mislabeling your vote, and forgetting to chalk up your EF vote later was intentional -- if hoops is going to be sneaky, I think he's more likely to sneakily lead us with his comments, rather than just get the record wrong on purpose.

hoopsguy 05-18-2009 03:34 PM

Pass, I'm voting Lerriuqs! Obviously I think that was significant and I have that called out in my player-by-player review posts (version 2 - the detailed one) from Friday afternoon.

I think MartinD and PF both had very good votes, which is why I have them (along with Dubb and Autumn) as my most trusted villagers in the list I published either late Friday or Saturday.

Passacaglia 05-18-2009 03:35 PM

Oh geez, I don't know what I was thinking -- when I made that post, I was sure MartinD and lerriuqs had both voted for EF. Oh well. How many questions do I get docked for that one?

hoopsguy 05-18-2009 03:37 PM

Pass is correct - I have yet to play a game where I've messed with the vote totals, posts, whatever in an attempt to mislead people. I may make a mistake here and there with a post # or recording the info but there is never malicious intent in terms of shaping the game as a wolf.

Who knows if I would do it in the future? I don't think I would because until the very, very endgame because the risk most likely does not outweigh the reward.

One thing that I would ask - you have quoted the "record of the posts" stuff but not my analysis posts (player by player) that immediately follow. I think the analysis posts have a lot more meat to them and serve as a better barometer for my feelings on players.

By all means, reference the posts stuff (better for universal timeline) but if you are asking questions about how I feel on people I think you might find that I've answered some/many of the questions already in the "version 2" analysis post.

I'll dig up the post when I get home tonight, but that won't happen for a few hours. I think I posted it somewhere around 3PM CST on Friday of last week, give or take an hour ...

I wouldn't say I'm specifically looking for your feelings on people. I just happen to have the post record pasted into an open text file here, so it's more handy. And since your comments are thrown in there, I get to read them a lot.

Passacaglia 05-18-2009 03:43 PM

I guess what I should say is that I'm looking at what you might be trying to "inject" into the discussion -- the post record has comments from you, that are taken a little more "as law" then what your feelings on players are.

hoopsguy 05-18-2009 03:43 PM

1. Claphamsa D1: PackerFanatic D2: Telle Unvotes: PB (D2 early) Timing: throwaway vote late D2 (Telle five back, inside of last 20-30 minutes) rather than voting one of lead dogs.

2. EagleFan - Evil Information Collector, Lynched Day 2

3. Barkeep D1: NTN D2: Telle Unvotes: Hoops (D2), PB (D2 late) Timing: PB move in last hour, moving vote from 8-7 PB to 7-7 PB/EF. This is marginally better than I recall last night, as it indirectly increased pressure on EF.

4. The Jackal D1: NTN D2: PB Unvotes: EF Timing: middle of D3, changes to PB 3 posts later and margin goes from 5EF - 4PB to 4EF - 5PB. He looks worse now than I recalled last night with no end votes on EF and an unvote on EF yesterday.

5. Abe D1: NTN D2: PB Unvotes: None Timing: D2 vote tied up PB with EF at 4-4. Links himself through trust to BK at least twice in thread.

6. PackerFanatic D1: NTN D2: EF Unvotes: Lerriuqs (D1) Timing: no real meaning to discern from D1 vote change. D2 vote on EF was meaningful (7-6 margin).

7. Hoopsguy D1: EF D2: PB Unvotes: None Timing: both pretty early votes, no moves to save EF on D1, no moves to hang EF on D2.

8. PurdueBrad D1: NTN D2: EF Unvotes: Hoops (D1, D2), EF (D1, D2), NTN (D1), Telle (D1) Timing: all kind of late vote changes, not always optimal for survival until last five minutes. Can certainly make a case that he was trying to help EF based on D1 NTN late call and D2 late movement away from EF to anyone offered as an option

9. Lathum D1: EF D2: PB Unvotes: Poli (D1), Abe (D1) Timing: pretty insignificant vote moves, early in day. Erratic play on D2 hard to understand, but suggests alternate win conditions

10. Martin D D1: PB D2: EF Unvotes: None Timing: D2 vote on EF was meaningful.

11. Poli D1: Abe D2: EF Unvotes: Lathum (D1), Telle (D1, D2), PB (D2) Timing: had multiple chances to put vote on EF on Day 2, did not until very end of day. This looks like one of the worst voting records of the people who have an EF final vote to their name.

12. Passacaglia D1: NTN D2: EF Unvotes: Lerriuqs (D1), Hoops (D1 + D2), EF (D2 - sort of) Timing; NTN votes on D1 tied it back up at 4-4 (he had voted No Lynch, then put vote back where it was when learning it was not a good option). His EF vote on D2 is muted by the fact that he illegally attempted to move his vote, failing to unvote when casting a vote for Telle. Another one of the weaker voting records with a EF vote to their name.

13. Lerriuqs D1: Pass D2: no vote Unvotes: None Timing: Day 2 vote on PB tied it at 7-7, not a good vote based on current information. Day 1 vote cast early, never revisited.

14. Dubb93 D1: EF D2: EF Unvotes: Saldana (D1), PB (D2) Timing: both unvotes came pretty early, both votes on EF were meaningful based on timing, no unvotes down stretch to help EF either time. Very good vote history.

15. Autumn D1: Telle D2: EF Unvotes: PB (D1) Timing: D2 vote on EF is strong, helping create two man race with PB. D1 unvote was very PB-friendly, moving him out of 2 vote lead to throw vote on distant candidate. One of drivers of potential 3rd candidate on Day 1.

16. Chief Rum D1: EF D2: PB Unvotes: None Timing: D1 vote was a big one against EF, D2 vote was a big one for EF. Has floated a couple of theories this game that have been dubious (EF/NTN voters with one wolf each early on, wolves would not block their own which was false on D2)

17. NTNDeacon - The Talker, Lynched Day 1

18. Telle D1: PB D2: PB Unvotes: Abe (D1) Timing: 2nd driver (w/Autumn) of 3rd candidate on D1 when there was a wolf in the mix. No good votes to help cause. Her votes have been early enough to not be magnified.

19. DaddyTorgo D1: no vote D2: EF Unvotes: PB (D2) Timing: Vote change on D2 looks good, but felt like he was looking for excessive credit for doing so when others were initial movers and shakers on EF.

20. AlanT - The Arbitrator, Night kill Day 2

21. Saldana D1: Dubb D2: Hoops Unvotes: EF (D2) Timing: pretty late unvote on EF brought race back to an 8-8 tie. D1 vote was more or less throwaway on likely villager.


I reserve the right to have made minor changes to my thought process between Friday afternoon and now, but here is the post.

PackerFanatic 05-18-2009 03:48 PM

It would be quite hypocritical of me to vote for Lerriuqs for being UTR, wouldn't it? Haha...I should be back before deadline to catch up and put a vote in.

Haggis isn't all that bad - is just what it's made of and what it comes in that people have problems with. (While I don't like haggis, it's not a 'wouldn't eat it if you put a gun to my head'-type of dislike - more 'would prefer something else, but will eat it if there isn't a better option'.)

MartinD 05-18-2009 04:28 PM

This is where, in an ideal world, I would put my vote on lerriuqs and give him a chance to explain himself. Unfortunately, it's not an ideal world - I'm signing off for the night in the next half-hour or so, and I probably won't be around to switch my vote if lerriuqs turns up.

I'll have a look through recent posts to see if I can come up with a better candidate, but will vote for lerriuqs if I can't see another option.

hoopsguy 05-18-2009 04:30 PM

I've got class tonight that's going to keep me out from 6-9 or thereabouts. I'm not positive about this vote but I've been following the thread today and I feel good about it for now; hopefully I'm not missing out on some great info in the next couple hours.

VOTE LERRIUQS

The Jackal 05-18-2009 04:33 PM

I'll be around for the next half hour if anyone wants to sum up the case against hoops or telle, I've been busy and skimmed a bit of the thread.

I understand the Lerriuqs votes. I guess I can sort of understand the Dubb vote, as misguided as it is. But the Pass vote is all kinds of strange to me.

Look, we are significantly reducing our chances of getting a wolf today by putting me in harms way here. I know that this is a pretty empy claim that any villager can make, but I'm just puzzled by people's willingness to continue throwing me into the mix when there are numerous players whose voting records are really suspect. It is a low value play.

When looking at the "not voted" it doesn't seem likely that Lathum will be casting his vote today. So that really leaves five non-votes at this point.

Poli 05-18-2009 05:19 PM

I have about an hour till I head out for the night. I'm very disappointed in what I'm seeing over the last 6 hours, though.

I could vote for Telle or Jackal rather easily, even saldana for his voting record. Hoops I don't like, but is it really coming down to hoops or licorice (I kid with the name, of course)? Why the heck are we letting telle off the ledge?

A lot of finger pointing going on here and I'm fairly frustrated and disappointed. I think just about everyone still in the game outside of dubb and chief rum have been mentioned as suspect.

Then again, it's my birthday and I've been rather pissy about just about everything today. It's a personal issue so I'll set it aside.

I'll admit that I really wanted telle to be lynched instead of eaglefan the other day, but I saw that role reveal/non-role reveal (depends on how you look at it), and it smelled of manure. I figured anything might happen. It certainly bit us in the butt last game.

Going down that path, it actually reminds me that I kind of liked hoops early on when he mentioned his "logic" for voting for eaglefan. Could it have been staged? Maybe, but I doubt it.

Hoops all I can say is that I must have missed it the first time it was posted b/c when I read it when Pass posted it it REALLY pissed me off. I said my peace and left still pissed off. I've cooled down now.

As for my vote, I may be willing to move it to Saldana, but I just don't like the voters on Lerriuqs enough to vote that way. He's been UTR, and he seems like he is unwilling to defend himself here except with a vote, but the names as voters on him with the exception of Autumn and Abe aren't exactly the most trustworthy bunch.

Pass would be an interesting vote alternative as well.

I've already mentioned that I'm suspicious of the Pass vote, too. I really think he's voting for me just because I pressed him on his voting pattern. His reluctance to talk about it makes me suspicious of him.

Hoops, I forget how many questions I have left with you, but I think I'll transfer them all to clap. I think I've picked your brain enough for the day.

Okay dude, NOW it's lecture time. Throughout the course of playing werewolf, people are going to vote to remove you from the game. A lot of people. And it may be frustrating to you for whatever reason. But you just have to deal with it instead of resorting to things like this.




I think the problem is that people get frustrated with the ones that are the most suspicious of them, and think that in order to stay alive, they need to convince those most suspicious of them that they're good -- and when faced with this Herculean feat, they buckle. However, this is not the way to stay alive -- the way to stay alive is to convince the people who aren't on you, or maybe on the fence about you, to vote for someone ELSE.

Poli 05-18-2009 05:40 PM

Hello. Is this thing on?

Poli 05-18-2009 05:41 PM

Should I bother in even trying to make this close?

I've really never bothered trying to figure it out, because I get too filled with rage whenever it happens to care.

Poli 05-18-2009 05:42 PM

I suppose lerriuqs and I would make it somewhat closer.

DaddyTorgo 05-18-2009 05:42 PM

hmmm

DaddyTorgo 05-18-2009 05:44 PM

more often than not i think it's a frustrated villager play actually

if you're a wolf you'll tend to reveal and say "yeah i'm a wolf you got me" in order to give your fellow wolves cover on the bandwagon onto you.

DaddyTorgo 05-18-2009 05:44 PM

or at least that's what i'd do

Poli 05-18-2009 05:45 PM

28 Days Later Rage or just old fashioned rage?

So you are saying if less than half the remaining players were voting for you AND at that point you were only down by 3 AND there were still 5 votes still to come you would reveal as a wolf if you were a wolf?

dubb93 05-18-2009 05:46 PM

I'm not following that line of thought at all.

Poli 05-18-2009 05:46 PM

Well, I'm about to get ready for my "big night". I'll check back in before I head out.

this isn't going to win you any fans around here.

I realize being on the block is frusterating, but c'mon, you have 6 posts in the game. At least try and provide an alternate candidate and sound reasoning why.

i actually do have a thought....not saying i firmly believe it, but it is a thought worth throwing out there.

there was a lot of disbelief on day 2 regarding EF because he was criticized on N1...people didnt think that the wolves would waste their criticism on one of there own...EF of course turned up wolf.

now it is N3, and they have another shot to criticize someone. seeing how many people didnt think they would do it the first time, would it not be an interesting ploy to criticize one of their own again as a means of buying trust?

half of us didnt think they would waste it once...how many of us wont think they will waste it twice?

again, not saying i am even sold on my own idea, but it is food for thought.

he backpedaled away from his own vote the entire day, saying he would like the other vote for EF better...i wish i had more time to go back and check the timings of his various statements...was he covering his tail by agreeing with the EF votes after they already started to gain some momentum?

he claims that the outcome of the day was advantagous to not only him, but the village as a whole, but we have yet to see anything to validate that point

on day 2, i said i detected the manipulations of a very good wolf...my initial thoughts were it was Hoops (which it still may be), but my short list included Lathum, Barkeep, and Poli. of those, barkeep is obviously out, but I think you will agree that this strategy is well within Lathums vaunted wolfy skillset.

as to why would he be so daring on day 2...he knows he needs to make a move to get in the COT early...he will get heat for being alive too long (which has now started)...he needed to make a play fast in order to give himself cover when that heat starts to come down

(which is actually what he is doing right now)

a public display that gets you on the trust lists is 10 times better than a seer scan because it is just that. Public.

or wants? zing!!

Autumn 05-18-2009 06:08 PM

I really, really don't like the pile-on on Lerriuqs. I don't think all three of my suspects are a wolf, and the fact taht everyone is glad to vote him makes me think I have the wrong one. Those of us who are working from a similar suspect list, I say we switch to Telle instead.

UNVOTE LERRIUQS
VOTE TELLE


A runaway when we have still 4-5 wolves in this size group makes me very worried.

Chief Rum 05-18-2009 06:10 PM

I toss this out fully acknowledging that I have not read anything but the last few posts. I just don't have time right now, in between jobs. So take it for what it's worth.

All that said, lerriuqs, the apparent favorite, was never high on my wolf list.

My distrust circle runs as saldana, Telle, The Jackal and claphamsa.

If a seer came out and cleared any of them, I apologize because I don't have the time to go looking right now.

So since lerriuqs is not on my list and I don't know the real reason for him being the target today, I am going to throw a vote at one of my suspects instead (and if that hangs me later, so be it).

VOTE CLAPHAMSA

I might have stuck with saldana, my Friday favorite, but I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, as I don't know that he would fight Lathum so hard if he were a wolf.

Clap's my choice because of his voting record on votes we know about (Days One and Two).

Rest assured, if it was not a runaway, my vote would be on one of the top candidates. I don't really see the need to go with that today, as it seems unlikely to be needed.

Autumn 05-18-2009 06:12 PM

Chief, if Telle is really one of your top suspects I'd rather you concentrate on her. We could make her a contender in the time left, i think, based on the amount of people with her on the suspect list.

I'd much prefer a Telle Lerriuqs run off, I think this could show us something.

DaddyTorgo 05-18-2009 06:14 PM

yeah - the runaway makes me think we have the wrong person in lerriuqs honestly...hmmm

lerriuqs 05-18-2009 06:14 PM

Just let me die in peace guys...

DaddyTorgo 05-18-2009 06:14 PM

in the hopes that that runoff would tell us something

VOTE TELLE

Autumn 05-18-2009 06:15 PM

Also a possibility, in this game, that Lerriuqs role somehow requires or encourages this martyr act. Something to keep in mind.

Lathum 05-18-2009 06:17 PM

If I had a vote today it would be for Saldana. His poor vote record and the way he is trying to set me up as a lynch candidate down the road scream wolf to me.

I really can't see anything that indites Lerriuqs, and Telle has been most suspicious recently.

Autumn 05-18-2009 06:25 PM

Let me take a guess...

The Martyr

Your low self-esteem makes you think that you are a better lynch candidate than anyone. If you are the lead vote getter you are required to vote for yourself. Better you than them.

Man, I could write this game.

I wouldn't be able to tell you if you were right...;)

Autumn 05-18-2009 06:28 PM

And I'd probably get in trouble for revealing your role if I made one up too close to yours ;-)

FWIW, I don't necessarily believe Lerriuqs here, but I'm guessing Telle's a better target given the lack of controversy over Lerriuq votes.

I've got to get the kids to bed.

hoopsguy 05-18-2009 06:30 PM

Well, we've already had a shy guy so that isn't your role :) Seriously, Lerriuqs, make a case for someone. If nothing else, it helps build character for next game.

And, in case you were paying attention, the vote is pretty close right about now.

hoopsguy 05-18-2009 06:31 PM

Tell you what, I'll make it even more interesting.

hoopsguy 05-18-2009 06:35 PM

Warning to Lerriuqs - I'm not necessarily leaving my vote there, but I'll at least give you a chance to start either building a case for yourself or against someone else.

I've maintained for awhile - based solely on gut, not inside information, that I do not think that Telle represented the best choice despite her voting record. That is almost exclusively off Day 1 and nothing since that time. So I'm willing to move the vote to try and create another alternate to Lerriuqs but I'm not all fired up about it being Telle.

DaddyTorgo 05-18-2009 06:39 PM

Well I have no case to build for myself other than what I've already posted in this thread.

As for anyone else. If I live through the day, I'll look to build a case. But I'm ok with whatever happens. I won't be building a case on anyone today and I won't say why.
