No particular reason. You seemed to bury your votes early and were the 2nd vote on DV yesterday. I think looking at the group of DV voters is probably our best bet today and you're as good a bet as the rest of them at this point, honestly

This has traditionally been one of my favorite wolf moves. Frustration over it not working in one game even caused me to base a whole ruleset around rewarding players who made good decisions with their voting.

Britrock, a few times you've mentioned this is your first game, yet in these two quoted posts you're speaking with certainty about there being five wolves, yet I don't recall anyone talking about wolf:villager ratios. Can you explain why you're so sure of this? |

Autumn has a point here guys. If he was DV's night one scan, why no day 2 vote and why no reveal?
I think autumn is a fine candidate as I suspected him before DV was killed and Im not necessarily opposed to to him going down today. I just don't see it as some obvious runaway. Barring the possibility that DV wasn't playing deer by the rule book (which appears to be the case as he let himself get lynched without a reveal) |

As good a bet as the rest of them, yet you singled me out in particular. Why do you feel the group of DV voters is better than, say, the group of Jackal voters, seeing as both were found to be villagers? Your comment about burying votes early is interesting too, seeing as your voting record includes the first vote on Autumn day 1, the second vote on Jackal day 2, and the second vote on RA day 3. |

I still don't feel warm and fuzzy about PF either for the record. Think he was a far better choice than DV yesterday. If he's the one to get behind so we can at least have a second option today I'm all for that, although I'd like to see McKerney sweat it out even more. That sounded a little wrong

Obviously the group doesn't subscribe to the theory that the quieter ones are worth placing a vote or two on. That's cool - just a pet peeve of mine. And besides, he has been more active today. So I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, for now.

Autumn - I guess I'm a little confused here. Sounds like you are condemning those that vote for you from this point on as well as those who don't. Seems to me that's kinda having it both ways, right? Or did I misunderstand your point? |

Well, this is Werewolf. Condeming 99% of the participants is part of the game! Obviously there will be lots of villagers who vote for me because it makes sense, and villagers who will not vote for me because they don't want a landslide. And until, or if, I am lynched, the village will be looking at voters to see if anyone is going to save me, thinking the're going to catch a wolf. I just want to highlight that, since I know there are no wolves trying to save me, the only thing the village can get out of lynching me is looking for where wolves hide thier votes when there's a runaway on a villager. It's hard to distinguish those from actual villagers, of course, but maybe someone will get something out of it. |

Thats possible I suppose, do bear in mind however I'm a newbie and tbh have no real idea what a Seer is - from the sounds of things they're basically a mine detector for bad guys able to scan someone, I presume once per day by the sounds of things. Autumn is suggesting that the Seer basically hit 'cold' continually - in which case he was voting as blind as anyone else and happened to vote for Autumn. The problem is that he voted for the same person twice, thats not the act of someone who isn't sure imho - thats the voting of someone who knows something ... |

Except on the first day Marc, he couldn't have known anything. And if he did scan his day 1 vote (which is a common play) and found Autumn to be Wolfy, why not vote for him on day 2 or just reveal at that point?
I guess it's believable that he didn't scan Autumn until day 2, and thought he would try to get another day in before a reveal. It's possible, but not how I would play as a seer. |

And again I'm not arguing against Autumn per se. I think there's a pretty good chance he does come up wolf
I am arguing against a runaway however. We learn very little from that and maybe one of the other guys we are discussing is a wolf as well. |

I think a vote for PF could give us more information about Autmun. That is twice now that he has tried to create voting friction between himself and PF with very little chance of it catching on.
If the wolves figure Autumn is bound to get lynched anyway, then voting for other wolves would be a good way to hide it. If Autumn figures he is not going to get lynched, then it is a good place to hide a vote and create some doubt if one of them gets nabbed. There is also the chance that Autum is a villager who just senses that PF is a wolf. All that adds up to where I am putting my vote today, at least for the time being. Subject to change as always. VOTE PACKER FANATIC

Yeah this was the reason for my question to Britrock before. I've been kind of assuming five wolves based of experience on these boards but I think there's a lot of places where 5 would be seen as a bit high. I don't think it's a certainty though - which made me wonder if Brit knows there's five and slipped up by saying it so matter-of-factly. I didn't vote because I was waiting on an answer from Brit. There's also the stuff Bhlloy pointed out about Britrock waiting and waiting before making the day two vote until Bhlloy shifted his vote allowing Brit to put in a meaningless vote on Raiders. Even if you assume Raiders is villager a wolf wouldn't want to put themselves in the position of being seen as the one to lynch a villager by making the decisive vote. Got to give Brit some leeway as a rookie villager might not want to make that decision either but still. |

Yeah I'm giving him a pass as a first time player, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me to see him as an inexperienced wolf either.

Cutting to the chase the only time I'll be happy with a runaway vote is when a seer has come out and outed a wolf. I think the case against Autumn is decent even if I'm not getting a wolf vibe off of him.
The choices to avoid a runaway vote look like Packer or Mckerney. I'm not getting the case against mckerney particularly the meta-gamey nature for arguing that he had to come in as a replacement for a wolf. I see the logic in the case that Autumn made against Packer yesterday so I think I'll be going a-there. I'm also trying to avoid the grand-unifying theory but Packer made his RA vote when Britrock seemed to be getting some heat. Vote Packers |

Someone talk to me about something. I feel like everybody is pretty suspicious but at the same time I don't really have much of an idea about where to go with this. You've got the likes of Passa, Simbo and MV disappearing and the dearth of voting information and I've got to go soon.
I still think Raiders and GoldenEagle are villagers. That means we were villager-villager every day. I wish I could interpret Darth's votes as indicative of a negative scan of Autumn but it wouldn't surprise me if it's just Darth being Darth. I'm starting to think that Packer has been a bit off this game so I guess I'm happy enough with my vote but it feels like we should have more to go on on day four. |

All I'd say is that people seem to be looking at people who have voted Darth and/or Jackal. That's understandable but actually turns out to be completely meaningless if the competition were also villagers. You're just looking at people because they had the misfortune to land on the winning side. I think you need to look at the context of the vote. And, erm, stuff.
With these confused words I bid you adieu. |

Ah! No. I'm not as sure about Autumn as Raiders, ironically. I was looking at my vote tallies and seeing who the close-run seconds are.
I'm a bit dubious of people experienced enough to know better pushing a landslide on Autumn whether Autumn is a wolf or villager. But I don't have to time to try and argue against KWhit now to be honest. I'm a bit upset that this seems to have turned into a 2-horse race so soon as well. In fact that seems to have been a problem day two and three as well. |

I'm down. But what's your thinking that makes you think we're villager-villager now, anyway? I generally think that people who are getting lots of votes are more likely to be villagers, but the way this has gone, with Autumn leaping out in front, then people coming in "to make it a race" makes me wonder about him. That said, I don't want to vote him, since, well, I want to make it a race. |

I wouldn't mind seeing it be a legitimate 2-horse race either. I just think that DV's posts and votes for Autumn mean 1 of 2 things.
1) Autumn is a wolf 2) DV played the seer really badly I'm hoping that it is #1 and frankly, I think we need to find out tonight what Autumn's deal is. I also think the wolves are smart enough to know that Autumn's gonna get lynched - likely tonight tomorrow night. If Autumn is actually a wolf, I don't think any other wolves would be caught dead trying to save him since he'd likely continue to be a vote-getter every night from now on. It's the ONLY information our seer possibly communicated to us. We have to follow up on it, IMO. |

To be fair to DV, he did say he wasn't going to be around when he posted his vote yesterday and he had no votes on him at the time. It would have been foolish to say anything at that time.
