It is good to know that Lathum and I were right all along. Both of us are villagers.

The wolves didn't do anything. Reiman doesn't know who the wolves are (though he might have lucked on and learned 1's identity by now), and in any event, they can't pm each other, unless I'm mistaken. |

Likely, the Dr would have tested Blades blood during the first night and knew if he was good or bad and therefore worth saving or damning. Schmidty is a good guess on the accomplice as his "4 word PM" was after Blade posted "I am a villager". Everytime I have watched Blade die it has been after a vigerous defense, except when he was the Duke. Even then it was grandeur all the way. |

Sorry molson, you are technically right. I meant the wolves generally as the bad guys, but since in this game the wolves are an actual faction of the bad guys, I should have been more specific and called them the antagonists

wow my head hasn't spun this much since the first x-com game I played in.
This totally smells of set up to me.. I guess we'll have to see what happens in the night actions to really get a good read on it. |

If I were Dr. Reimman, Blade would be one of the first player's I'd test, so I think it's likely, whether you are wolf or villager, that Reimann knows what you are. Of course, it could be a newbie player who is the Reimann so could possibly a) Not have known who the vets were and tested random people (i.e. not Blade) and b) Have tested Lathum, found he was a villager and panicked as the vote moved away from him deciding to move it back. Of course, Blade could be Reimann himself. His whole 'I am a villager, I will not fight against my accusers, what's the point?' defence in the last 15 ins or so before the lynch could suggest someone who knew he wasn't going to be lynched tonight. |

Here's the scenerios as I see them - what am I leaving out?
1. Blade was Dr. R. If you know you're dead, you might as well use your power, especially knowing that you could play it off as a wolf diversion tactic the next day. I can see this. 2. Blade was a wolf, and Dr. R knew it. It would seem that this would lead to an obvious Blade lynching the next day, but Dr. R might figure that due to Blade's prominence in the game, they're be some confusion and controversy regardless. I can see this too. 3. Blade was a villager, and Dr. M knew it. Would Dr. R. use his power to kill one villager instead of another? It seems illogical. Dr. R could be trying to get us to lynch Blade, but is 1 dead villager really worth using the power, when we were all willing to lynch Blade anyway? 4. Dr. R didn't know Blade's identity - It seems completely nonsensical that Dr. R would use his power blindly - unless he felt like he didn't have long to live himself. But there's nobody who's really in those shoes at this point. And also, as has been stated, Blade would probably be the first one Dr. R would test (and he'd certaintly be in the top 3). |

In all honesty, lathum outplayed me today. He swung a vote with like 20 minutes left, convinced everyone a COT was evil, and set up fouts with himself as a buffer in case he was wrong. Lathum played a great game of WW today, and i couldnt match it without a little help from dr. reimann./ Bravo lathum

You are woken from your sleep by screams and sounds of struggle coming from Fouts house - you dash over to discover that somehow, Frankenstein's monster has returned! Fouts has been torn limb from limb, but by now you all are used to bloodshed, and you rush the monster with pitchforks and torches. Through the night you pursue him, and corner him, and kill him. Taking stock after the battle, you realize that one of you is missing - GoldenEagle! You dash to his house, and discover that, like AlanT and saldana, he has been murdered by werewolves! Two dead in one night! The sun is rising ... what will you do today?
DAY 4 HAS BEGUN - Deadline 8:30PM Thursday |

Hold the phones - if we think Blade is Dr. R, it's in our best interest to keep him alive now - since he counts as a HUMAN in the standings. And without his powers, he's now impotent. Correct? (We'd just have to make sure his lone vote doesn't hurt us)
I'm not saying I'm convinced he's Dr. R, as oppossed to the wolf, but he sure does seem resigned to his fate now, doesn't he? |

The wolves have forced a vote on Blade tomorrow by eliminating the alternative - Fouts. Nice.

Sheesh, is that three villagers dead in an hour?
Just to be certain, though--did that night action say either Fouts or GE were villagers? Or is it assumed since the action didn't say otherwise?

I honestly beleive Blade is a villager now. Here's why:
If you were continuing the "Kill the vets," then you wouldn't have used your frankie power to off Fouts. GE at least makes sense because he's been the best of the new players, but Fouts? Why would the bad guys have killed a villager that had heat on him? The only rational reason to me seems to eb that they are continuing the Blade setup. Three players, SnDvls, Swaggs and myself metionened that we were unsure Blade was a bad guy and smelled a setup. So the baddies eliminated teh other alternative, leaving just Blade as an option

Another very good point. Blade is a better player than this. I have personally seen good players with tons of heat deflect it away, and Blade could have done so.

i agree. this to me doesn't make me think that blade is a wolf, unless he's playing a hell of a game. he may be reiman sure, but reiman counts as a human so there's no reason to lynch him anymore, and even less considering reiman can lead us to wolves with his blood-testing. |

very true. if you're blade and a wolf, do you eliminate every possible person with heat except for yourself? doesn't make any sense. and if you're blade and reiman we want to keep you alive so we can use your blood-testing ability. and if you're blade and a villager, you're not one we want to kill. |

st. cronin, I havea question about what you mean regarding Reiman. You say he counts as a human for victory. Does this mean he wins if humans win? Or that he counts as a human when tabulating the wolf:human ratio but still wins as a wolf?

Okay, to those who are hypothesising a set up:
If not Blade, then who should we lynch today? Even if it is likely Blade has been set up, which I am skeptical of at this point, surely the likelyhood that Blade is either a wolf or Dr. Reimann is higher than any other player at this point. Isn't it worth taking a chance even if you think he may not be? My current thinking is that Blade is a wolf who was saved by the Dr. without his knowledge. But then I dunno, my head is spinning at the moment with all the possibilities. |

But Reimann fetched the wolves and Count Dracula on us. Why would he help the villagers? They even voted to kill Blade (if he's Dr. R).

we don't want to lynch reiman though. he counts as a human. but that's true what anxiety asked, does reiman win if the humans win, or does he win if the wolves win? ie...who is he interested in helping, wolves or humans? that's important for us to know before we decide if we want to chase after reiman |
