I don't really have much to add at this point other than observing other's disccussions. I have no idea who I'm going to vote for at this point.

Again with this? VOTE BARKEEP49 A ruling class reveal is only helpful to the necromancers. Anyway, damn, dubb, you might have been okay if you just hadn't made that first post where you mentioned that you were thinking of voting for SnDvls. Then again, either way, the necros might have been wary of you. Anyway, I'm still wary of you, too -- as was said before, soothsayer is a neutral role, so it doesn't clear you as an Egyptian. It could be that you found out that SnDvls was a necromancer, as are you. Just food for thought. |

In regards to the guard question, it depends on if the necromancers attack solo or in pairs.
If they attack solo, and attack the bodyguard, then they die. Keep in mind that if they attack the person guarded by the bodyguard, that is going to be attacking the bodyguard. So they die in this case as well. If they attack in tandem, then the bodyguard fights them off but does not identify the attackers. |

I think that whoever got scanned last night should only reveal if they come under fire today. They can reveal after night actions come in, but there is definately merit to not helping the necros along with their search.

I've already mentioned the downfall of the knowing the ruling class. If we assume they are good then the "evil" class could easily kill them in a matter of days once they are revealed. At that point we could have a nec on the throne. It is much to early for the current ruling class to reveal.

And I'm not arguing with the vote for barkeep. He pushed me on something he should have picked up on. Also pushing for the ruling class to reveal is shifty to say the least in my book.

And in order for us to skip 3 seer scans this freakin Avatar better be more powerful than we are being led to believe. No way 3 scans is worth a glorified body guard that everyone is going to know is the Avatar since he will be played by someone joining the game on that night.

I'm wondering why Blade has been so quiet in this game? I know he mentioned somewhere yesterday that he had to catch up, but I missed the reason for it. It seems very un-Blade-like for him to be so quiet...almost to the point where I want to vote for him because of it.
No, I just want to vote for him because it's Blade

I think so b/c we are not even close to a desparate situation yet. Letting them know any of the ruling class could be a mistake. We don't know the full situation for another class taking over. What if only 2 have to be killed for another class to take over? Or what if it is a situation where currently there are 1 nec and 2 egyptians on the ruling class and the new appointed guy is randomly selected. An egyptian reveals himself and gets killed and a nec gets appointed leaving 2 necs and 1 egyptian on the ruling class. At this point they could kill Path and appoint a nec to the throne. We just don't know how it works. They shouldn't reveal.

I dont understand why everyone is assuming the ruling class is all good. I think it is likely path is good as the starting pharoah. But is there something somewhere that says being in the ruling class means they are good to start?
Without knowing how Swaggs was replaced (if he was), we dont know if its a way to let a bad person into the ruling class either. I guess alot of people are making alot of assumptions in this game that i don't quite see gurantueed for us. |

Barkeep's little role reveal push has got me a bit on edge, too. Why do we need to know who they are? Their role isn't critical to us right now. More information helps the necromancers as much, if not a little more than it helps us right now, because they'll know for certain who their friends are. Later on we can go back into the barkeep/hoops let's dig up everything game, but right now it's not good, and the fact that barkeep does this often would made good cover for a bad guy. I want to hear what other people have to say about this.

So much to read with this many players.
Anyways, Dubb is reasonably high up on my trust list along with SnDvls now. So without any information from night 2, it looks like we are going to have to look at who might have wanted to silence cronin. So for now, I'm going to vote for the one person who was going back and forth with cronin yesterday. And is one of 2 players to have voted for the lynchee both days. Vote Saldana

I think you missed what I was saying. We have no idea how a member of the ruling class is replaced or if it has occured yet. Right now we do not know much information about them at all. So I find the comments that they all have to be good and an asset not necessarily wild, but its not anything that I feel has been gurantueed for us yet. Right now I don't see exactly what the ruling class does for us other than keeping them from lynching the pharoah. However hoops said the majority of us have to vote for path in addition to the ruling class.. so anyone pushing for a path lynch right now will be setting off all kinds of warning bells. |

I'm just saying that while I believe dubb is a soothsayer, he could be a necromancer soothsayer. However, the one who first brought this up is Barkeep, who I already don't trust. He could be trying to plant the idea that dubb is evil, since he's pretty sure dubb is good. |

i said earlier that i was surprised barkeep didnt pick up the method that dubb used to clear sun yesterday, which has the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. i did pickup on it right away, and didnt say anything because that would just paint a big target on dubb in case the necros needed one for last night.

yes you are correct after rereading the question again. so by knowing at least one person we can at least see what is happening if the vote swings towards path at some point and get a read on that person...yes it could be down the line, but it might be very important then as it is now. again I don't want to know all 3 people just the person who replaced swaggs. |

Hey guys...I was just heading back to my home, and noticed a ceremonial dagger lying on the floor. It reminded me of the events last night, that I must have blocked out during my early-morning slumber (i.e., i didn't noticed I had a PM until just now).
I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, to find that I was being attacked. With an adrenaline rush, I managed to break free. As soon as I started to gain the upper hand, the attacker ran off, and once I got outside, I couldn't find him. This dagger I found (which is ceremonial, so I assume it has no special powers) appears to be something a necromancer would use. Anyway, I'm glad to be alive, but the whole thing kind of freaks me out. Who would want to kill ME?!? |

SnDvls -- I think Alan is suggesting that the ruling class might not be replaced on a 1-for-1 basis (for example, they might not be replaced until they're all killed). However, I think this is not very likely.
I'm out for a while to run errands...I'll be back later.

The problem is again our lack of information. So many of us are compulsive analyzers and we're turning molehills into mountains due to lack of other things to go on...I'm not sure how much better off we are. But Barkeep does have alarms going off for me right now.

pass, thats an excellent piece of information...glad you noticed the PM....i thought it was pretty unlikely for the necros to all spend another night searching, but from the sounds of your message, you won the coin toss on living or dying, too bad you didnt win the 20% shot at finding out who it was.

All I can say is what the fuck to this. I didn't post a bunch of shit on Day One and pregame because we didn't have any idea what was going on. As soon as I fucking got HOME yesterday I was posting. And we STILL don't have any idea what's been going on and I've been calling for caution all day. The rest of it I can deal with, but come on, that's horribly weak, especially when there are 11 living players below me in post count. |

I think people are making a mistake with barkeep. We see this every game. The people who are most vocal and try to throw out the most things to talk about are the ones taken out early unless they have some method to vouch for themselves.
I haven't seen that much from Barkeep so far that was really far stretches. I think while i have not agreed with all of his points, he definitly has been asking some questions that are important. In fact I think he has been one of the few vocal ones that haven't been steering people to votes blindly. Many others have been assuming alot, voting on those asumptions and saying for folks to just blindly trust them. Maybe I am being fooled completely here, but the feel I get from barkeep right now is he has been filling the role that hoops does in alot of games as conversation starter. Hoops gets heat many games for it, but its important for someone to pick up that role. If we do not have some direction for our conversations, we will stumble along blindly for days while the bad guys finish us all off. I guess I am just getting a completely different feel from barkeep than most of you do. I think there are many others who are better choices today than him. I also think there are others who have been much more instrumental in guiding our votes to good guys so far as well. |

VOTE BLADE6119
I'm pretty lost right now and the alternative seems to be Barkeep right now. I'll vote Blade simply b/c he isn't playing like Blade. Lame, but I have nothing else to go on right now.

I think we need to be careful how much we cross up people being busy with them being quiet. Blade is a good enough player that if he were bad he wouldn't make it so obvious, and he really seems to enjoy antagonizing us anyway I've noticed that we keep killing people for being quiet when it's just RL issues, and it's soemthing we need to watch out for. |
