Werewolf LI Major League (GAME OVER!!! INDIANS--GOOD GUYS--WIN!!!) - Page 23

DaddyTorgo · 08-10-2007, 08:11 PM

don't let gonzo lead a charge on me without scanning me. That would be irresponsible.

I am a villager. The fact that gonzo refuses to scan me and calls that a "wasted" scan should give you all pause.

DaddyTorgo · 08-10-2007, 08:12 PM

clearly this is the play: get hoops lynched and then prey on my play this game to call me "99% a wolf" and get my lynched and you guys are just about at endgame, if not there.

If hoopsguy turns up good, Gonzo goes tomorrow. You won't have to worry about that.

If I get hoops lynched and he's a villager, then I get lynched the day after. That play wouldn't work.

Heh. Sorry, but I'm not moving my vote. I'm not sure who's telling the truth, but there are two things that make me keep my vote on you.

Would a new player - who's just had 1-2 games under his belt make a fake seer reveal? It's not likely.
Even if he's lying, it is a LOT less of a risk voting for you and losing a scout than it is losing a SEER! You have GOT to see that % play.

I'm happy with the 1 for 1 trade at this point and the fact that you don't see that makes me even more suspicious of you.

Umm.... No.

If Gonzo's lying he'll go next.

hoopsguy · 08-10-2007, 08:19 PM

KWhit, I see it but I have the advantage over the rest of the Indians in knowing it is BS.

New player - werewolf is a team sport unless we've got them whittled down to one player. I believe Gonzo changed gears with his play when a teammate shared the new plan with him - that would explain why he started voting for one person and then moved in another direction.

If you want someone who screams wolf to me, it is KWhit. He has been a follower all game long, not the independent thinker that I'm used to playing with in these games.

Gonzo, PurdueBrad, and KWhit - that is what I think you guys are facing the rest of the way. We'll see at the end how close I've been with my guesses this game, I guess.

I'm fine with it if you guys have a 1:1 trade, but I don't see the wolves making this move if it truly is a 1:1 trade. I suspect you will end up paying 2:1 at least for this transaction.

KWhit · 08-10-2007, 08:23 PM

Hoops, you really do play a good game - even when you're cornered.

hoopsguy · 08-10-2007, 08:23 PM

Chief, would really appreciate a ruling on my order-of-actions question posted in the thread ...

Nor do I. The wolves wouldn't make a 1:1 trade after losing a wolf in the day and then not killing at night now, would they?

In the times I've been down in the vote like this as a wolf I've called it quits and tried to have fun with people leading up to the deadline.

In the times I've been down in the vote like this as a villager I've fought like crazy to try and live another day to help my team. Like ... hmm, like now actually.

Hmm, you have some knowledge on the night kill abilities of the wolves? I certainly don't

DaddyTorgo · 08-10-2007, 08:28 PM

if hoops is a villager I think we're screwed and we've lost the game. Otherwise no way the wolves do this.

Well the only thing that would expain it with the ruleset is that the bodyguard blocked the kill. Apart from, of course, some crazy conversion mechanic that you've invented to keep yourself from being lynched.

But we don't, so we have to play the percentages. I'm not willing to risk losing the seer when we could possibly *gasp* save the scout!

hoopsguy · 08-10-2007, 08:30 PM

Gonzo, I find it very interesting that you are the only person who thinks that a conversion ability in a game of werewolf is crazy. Of course it is in your best interests to discredit my story, but conversions exist in probably half of our games. The theme of this game is about a wealthy owner trying to get her team to tank games - conversion absolutely fits with the theme of this game.

And it is the only explanation I can fathom for your seer claim not being contradicted when the seer is still alive.

Yes, it might well fit in with the theme of the game in theory. But there's no proof or evidence to support you assuming that I must be converted.

Playing the percentages will kill a villager and save a wolf. I know this, and the wolves know this. The rest of you can comfort yourself with the knowledge that you played percentages instead of actually trusting your gut, interpreting posts, and playing the game to win.

i'm either going to feel really good about this post in like 25 minutes, or look really stupid.

Barkeep49 · 08-10-2007, 08:42 PM

Hoops, I am playing to win and that is why my vote is on you.

hoopsguy · 08-10-2007, 08:43 PM

Good luck with that. I don't think there is anything more to say.

Chief Rum, can you confirm for me, one way or the other, what the order of actions would have been last night if the seer went to scan someone who was also targetted for conversion?

If he is willing to answer that question, then I think it would potentially go a long ways towards clearing me. Unless, of course, the argument will then switch to "well, Hoops must have started as a wolf".

From the exterior perspective, these actions happen at exactly the same time. So order of action doesn't come into play. I have private rules in play to govern eventualities in which two such actions conflict. But they will have to remain private.

This is not to be used as reasoning that any such conflict occurred last night. I am merely answering hoopsguy's question within the confines of my own rule set, as a hypothetical.

That's a hell of a non-answer.

Are you an attorney?

hoopsguy · 08-10-2007, 08:51 PM

Very helpful

Would have obviously liked a clarification that benefitted my position, but didn't hold out too much hope of getting a direct answer.

hoopsguy · 08-10-2007, 08:52 PM

Gonzo, having seen you living in this thread all day with me I will never, ever give you the benefit of the doubt for your schedule or time zone as a a reason for not posting. That has come up a few times with Tanglewood (your brother, correct?).

I actually think this makes it clear that a seer could scan a converted player and have them come up wolf.

Barkeep49 · 08-10-2007, 08:55 PM

I'm amazed. I really don't think hoops could fake this kind of bitterness.

Nicely played here, although I think your vote/unvote on me earlier is going to make it very hard to escape scrutiny.

Since it is now down to you, I think you have to take your shot at Gonzo tonight. We can't have him adding another person to the CoT. After that, I would go after the guys you fear the most in an end-game situation. I think Lathum is probably the most experienced, toughest out of the remaining guys.

Major kudos to you if you can take this more than another two days - sorry I wasn't able to stretch this out a little further, but you guys were fricking nuts to convert me last night. As previously stated/ranted/whatever ...

It would explain wht CR didn't wasnt Gonzo to make any moves yet, plus hoops is a pretty good candidate for conversion since at this point the seer hadn't reveald, however, it would be a good guess that hoops would be one of the top 2 players scanned so when the seer did reveal hoops would come back good .

NOTE: I am posting this close to deadline. This will not affect voting. If you are in a rush to read, do NOT stop to read this post. Come back to it after deadline. THANKS

I am disturbed by a couple issues here, although willingly admit that my approach to things and lack of foresight in putting a rule clamping down on revealing anything from PMs in the deadline interim have contributed largely to this.

The first issue is that Gonzo pretty much revealed my PM, in direct violation of a posted rule regarding PMs. I am allowing some leeway here, because I know he was trying to defend himself from scrutiny, and my PM was the primary reason he did what he did (although I disagree with Gonzo and Barkeep in that what I posted should automatically lead to the conclusion he made). Still, copying PMs is against the rules, and I am assessing a warning to Gonzo to not do that again.

The second issue is that my PM, which was not meant for consumption in this thread, should become a tool affecting the game. I would ask the villagers to disregard this if they can, as this is essentially a meta-game situation. But I know that will be difficult to do (witness the DC/oliegirl issue in the last game, for instance).

Lastly, new rule to be in place here forward. No one is allowed to react in the thread to private PMs received during the interim period from the posting of the lynch to the final night action post until after said night action post has been made.

There are several people who may or may not be receiving PMs from me and to carry on public conversations with deadline information when not everyone else has been properly informed is, IMO, not fair to the spirit of the game and is bad form.

Very serious note: I am not saying Gonzo acted out of turn, and other than his direct quoting of my PM, I have no problems with his action. I am actually more embarrassed for myself for not planning that better. But there is no reason to allow that potential issue to crop up again for the remainder of the game. Thus the new rule.

Thanks and you may now return to your deadline voting.

I wouldn't know about Tangle (correct), but I have had nothing to do at all today so I thought I might as well make sure you were lynched.
