i should have a quick dinner coming up but be around till deadline...my vote is still out there...i'm really not enamored of being on the lerriuqs bandwagon - i feel like if we've got a bandwagon we've got a villager.

Serious question, I don't think I've seen this since my very extended break and back then it was almost always a wolf move.

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.
