Anybody care to follow? If you prefer mau, I can switch.

Hey coffee.. you gonna move or what?!

I was going to go mau since he had 0 posts but it's kind of a dart throw either way

unvote

vote brit

Clock is ticking!

I can ... ordinarily moving a vote to an inactive is a get out of jail free card for voting records.

unvote

vote britrock

This game is far from ordinary though.

Damnit, now is not the time for valid points that lead to me dying! :)

If brit turns out to be a villager we just put telle back on the block tomorrow.

Inactives do us no good.. i said that early. No issue for me.

I also don't love CF's vote that didn't count followed up by nothing

HOw are we gonna know? That's the problem.

Good point....

BOOM

Well if the priest reveals Day 2 then we'll know. Otherwise, yeah...

priest would have to reveal I guess, which a couple people have suggested, assuming they're still alive and agree with that idea

I count 4 on brit, Jag.

Jackal switched to brit as well.

Darn autumn.. we hardly knew ye. Need to reread D1.

:popcorn:

So after staying up way later than I should have trying to figure this out, my system now produces this lovely report for Day 1:

2 Telle - Coffee Warlord (25),CrimsonFox (37)
1 The Jackal - Autumn (41)

Sweet day 1 review

Obviously the werewolf world, and just the world in general, needs more data geeks! Nice work!

Ok, read back through Autumn to see if the wolves may have picked up on anything he said to think he may be our seer. He only had 3 posts D1 and this one jumps out. I could absolutely have been his N0 peek. Or they could have just decided to roll the dice and take out an experienced player.

The wolves certainly reread Autumn's posts since he was the NK. This would have stuck out in their minds so I don't think they'd be bold enough to pull that play again. More than likely the wolves stayed away from direct votes on each other as it would have been discounted by the previous play. I think a pile on would be more indicative of wolves. There may be a wolf or 2 in this batch;

4 britrock88 - Telle (101). The Jackal (105), RendeR (108), timmae (109)

ok, last post for a bit. Why did Autumn place an initial throw away vote on Jackal and then leave it there all day? To fly under the radar as a special villager?? Seems kinda weird.

Okay ... Telle. Again.

On one hand, I get it. Complete survival move, and got a last second push to vote someone else.

On the other hand, I hate that it was such a simple, easy target.

On the other other hand, she herself points out a few hours prior that she believes the wolves are highly unlikely to be either of the inactives. (I personally don't buy into that all that much - I've played many games where a wolf was an idle one, but it's a reasonable theory.) So she's saving herself as a vanilla villager by moving to the vote to someone else she believes it a villager ... and thusly upping the odds of hitting a role.

On the other other other hand, idle players are a pain in the ass.

On the other other other OTHER hand, it was a day 1 vote. Shit happens.

This bugs me, though.

:popcorn:

:waves at EF:

Well, nice knowing you all ;)

Well that analysis is rather convenient for you since it paints you as being a villager.

And you weren't even in the recent game when I was so against voting out an inactive as a default vote because of how easy that makes it for wolves to hide their votes. I was definitely a hypocrite yesterday. I didn't even think about the fact that moving the vote off me to an inactive ups the odds of hitting a roled villager. I had been hoping that there would be more conversation in that last hour before deadline and votes would move around and maybe I could talk you all into not killing me.. and when that didn't happen I kind of panicked.

Note I haven't voted yet. :) See hands ... 1, 4, and 5.

Hi all. I'm here.

I'll be checking the thread through the day though this evening will be questionable around deadline; just tonight. I'll definitely check in as soon as I can afterwards (if I do indeed miss the deadline; but last week took beyond 10).

I don't want to jump in being skeptical of Telle but CW's post is what I was thinking last night (as an outsider at that point) as I saw what happened.

Maybe we need to pressure that a bit to see what shakes out.

Hi timmae

I know this may seem like it is becoming a standard vote but...

vote Telle[

Not exactly unexpected, even if you didn't have some weird obsession with voting for me :)

I gave what explanation I could above, but please feel free to ask me any questions you have.

No questions. At this point it is a gut play to see what happens this time.

With no role reveals it would make that jump to inactive more of a wolf play that a villager play as it means no one but the wolves know if it was a good move or not. A vanilla villager would rather take one for the team than jump to an unknown in a small game. A roled villager would want to jump the vote off themselves but the wolves would take notice of that and likely want to eliminate that person. With them not going after you it opens up more questions.

so, looking at things from last night, it seems to me more likely that Telle is telling the truth and made a risky (i.e. could be nailing an inactive seer unintentionally) VV decision, and I can't fault self preservation even if you may want to genuinely make the sacrifice as a VV in this small a game. Plus, it's nice having people alive that participate!

that said it's not out of the realm of possibility that she was slow playing it -- render had less to be concerned about because of the oldest vote being on telle, but I likely would have expected an earlier fake reveal from a wolf on the chopping block, rather than waiting until the last 5-10 minutes to plea for pushing onto someone inactive. I see both sides of things, but at the moment I lean towards VV naivety.

Jackal!!!! Let's Go Flyers!!!!
