There certainly could be a wolf there, and like I said I'm now suspicious of Pass being one moreso than the other two. I'm not fishing with you Telle. We know nothing about you past your voting record really, so my vote is to get you into the conversation more so we have something to go by other than your votes. There aren't many people left in this game so your name has to come up some time since you haven't been cleared. Nor have I been cleared so I've tried to speak up more myself these past couple days.

Telle · 03-02-2010, 02:28 PM

You know, with my luck BOTH of my teammates are actually wolves and I've been helping them avoid lynch for half this game.

vote Poli

Passacaglia · 03-02-2010, 02:31 PM

That's a possibility, Telle. I don't want NTN to slip under the radar here, though.

UNVOTE POLI
VOTE NTNDEACON

I'm out for a while, back in an hour or so. I know...you'll all miss me.

Actually, there is definitely no harm in answering #2- DV spent a crapload of points to make sure we would win, basically 6-8 points by himself and I spent some. As for #4- There was a bonus block that went out earlier in the game as a reward and I'm assuming it was the one that went in play last night.

Passacaglia · 03-02-2010, 03:40 PM

I'm back. Catching up.

Passacaglia · 03-02-2010, 03:42 PM

(yes, that was a joke)

Poli · 03-02-2010, 04:36 PM

What the heck, people. Come on. Look at what pass is doing.

Poli · 03-02-2010, 04:47 PM

Groan

hoopsguy · 03-02-2010, 06:11 PM

I'm online now for just enough time to catch up, don't know if I will be again tonight before the deadline.

Going to get a quick vote total and will vote on one of the leaders. Sorry for not being able to play a ton more today. The client I visited involved 100% meetings and no available wireless access. That = no WW time for me today.

hoopsguy · 03-02-2010, 06:14 PM

Here is what I'm showing:

Telle - PB (1063), Thomkal (1093)
Pass - Poli (1031)
Poli - Telle (1102)
NTN - Pass (1103)

hoopsguy · 03-02-2010, 06:15 PM

No vote from NTN? Hmm ...

Pass, why did you flip from Poli to NTN? Post #1103 seems really inconsistent with your thoughts over the last 24 hours.

hoopsguy · 03-02-2010, 06:18 PM

At this point I'll put my vote with PB, who I absolutely trust and Thomkal, who I don't trust. But I want the wolves to have to overcome a concerted villager block rather than have us spread out today.

I would not take this approach if I had time to be online to discuss candidates. Yesterday I was around to discuss the candidates (for worse, not better) but tonight I think that is unlikely. So my voting strategy is considerably more defensive in terms of trying to fight off vote manipulation. Hope that makes sense ... if not, I'll discuss it further when I get back online.

VOTE TELLE

PurdueBrad · 03-02-2010, 06:24 PM

Hoops, knowing that two powers were used yesterday, did this jive with what Thomkal told you his power was?

PurdueBrad · 03-02-2010, 06:25 PM

Happy b-day btw

Like I said, I don't want NTN to slip under the radar here. I agree with you that we need to have a concerted villager block, but there's still a lot of time to get that going, and until then, I want to see what happens with NTN as a viable candidate. As is often the case with me, that vote's not locked in. Also, the last 24 hours I've been basically antagonized by Poli, and that's probably colored some of my posts -- but I try not to let emotions take over when it comes to my voting strategy.

ntndeacon · 03-02-2010, 06:37 PM

Sorry but Tuesday and Thursdays are packed days and not much more time than to give a couple rough comments during the day.

ntndeacon · 03-02-2010, 06:42 PM

I will vote Telle if She continues to be the leader in votes as a tie would be devastating. But I really like Pass as a wolf. Both of those are possible. I am saying this cuz I am leaving in a little while til after the lynch

ntndeacon · 03-02-2010, 07:07 PM

Since Ihave not seen anyone take me up on a change...

Vote Telle

ntndeacon · 03-02-2010, 07:07 PM

See Yall after the lynch of a wolf, I hope.

PurdueBrad · 03-02-2010, 07:30 PM

I should be on and off until deadline as I try to finish up Heavy Rain before starting The Show.

PurdueBrad · 03-02-2010, 07:36 PM

Current count:

Telle (4)- PB (1063), Thomkal (1093), Hoops (1112), ntn (1118)
Pass (1)- Poli (1031)
Poli (1)- Telle (1102)
ntn (1)- Pass (1103)

PurdueBrad · 03-02-2010, 07:37 PM

My guess is that we have two wolves among the outlying votes.

Passacaglia · 03-02-2010, 07:37 PM

Pretty much the same as me. In and out while I play New Star Soccer, break for dinner, then in and out some more, but I'm not sure if I'll be up at deadline -- probably depends on how tired lurker is.

Are you interested in moving to Poli or NTN? I'm not sure about that Pass guy, he seems good.

Poli · 03-02-2010, 07:50 PM

DEAR EVERYONE VOTING FOR TELLE,

WHY THE HECK ARE YOU LETTING PASS OFF???????????!!

hoopsguy · 03-02-2010, 07:53 PM

Poli, what makes Pass a wolf over Telle?

This is one of those games where I really do feel like pretty much everyone is a wolf and it is being allowed to run long for the amusement of the moderator.

I refer you to post #914.

hoopsguy · 03-02-2010, 07:59 PM

Well, either the wolves are doing a great job of playing chicken with us or we have a losing horse here.

I guess it is possible that we have a wolf and the players here are powerless to stop it, but I'm pretty pessimistic today. This is one of those "hope I'm more lucky than good" votes.

hoopsguy · 03-02-2010, 08:00 PM

At least we don't have to wait an extra couple of hours for EF to show up ...

Poli · 03-02-2010, 08:02 PM

Hoops, as I mentioned earlier, I have been suspicious of him since he led
the charge on danny. I even told ntn and telle as
much via team Russia pm. His reaction was along the lines of "oh well", which as I recall playing against pass in the past...seemed to fit his M O.

Then the thing where he began to question the validity of ntns claim...which again is utterly ridiculous to me...and finally swinging the door shut on kwhit. Clearly he is going to say "I wanted to catch a
wolf and didn't want the wolves to change at the last
second". He has to say that...but who else moved
at the deadline that we all thought was critical to our lifeblood in this game? Oh, that's right, noone did. It just reeks of a wolf slamming the door shut. I just can't believe I am the only one asking what the heck was
going on with that.

Poli · 03-02-2010, 08:04 PM

STUPID PHONE

Poli · 03-02-2010, 08:05 PM

Tells may very well be a wolf too, but I'll eat my hat if pass is a villager.

Hmm, I had thought we had normal deadline - just saw that it is pushed back.

I'm here and available to move my vote if there's a change in plans.

EagleFan · 03-02-2010, 09:38 PM

Catching up with the thread. Very long day (home-drive to Philly-train to DC-drive to location in Virginia-wait around for 4 hours to give presentation-drive back to DC in traffic and miss train-get next train to Philly-drive home), just got back home.

EagleFan · 03-02-2010, 09:41 PM

Updated Medal Count

Code:

Team      G  S  B  Pts
USA       3  0  1   16
Russia    0  4  0   12
Sweden    1  0  2    7
Germany   1  0  2    7
Canada    0  1  0    3

Must have copied the wrong medal count when I updated.

I think it did, seemed to.

Problem was they were going to let us present at 1:00 so our plans were around that. Figured we would be done by 2:00 and have a few hours before getting the train to grab dinner. Instead we didn't go until 4:00 and got done at 5:00.

Thomkal · 03-02-2010, 09:50 PM

ugh that sucks.

EagleFan · 03-02-2010, 09:50 PM

Telle 4 - PurdueBrad (1063), Thomkal (1093), hoopsguy (1112), ntndeacon (1118)
Passacaglia 1 - Poli (1031)
Poli 2 - Telle (1102), Passacaglia (1138)

EagleFan · 03-02-2010, 09:51 PM

Does that look right?

Passacaglia · 03-02-2010, 09:52 PM

I believe so, yes.

Poli · 03-02-2010, 09:53 PM

No it doesn't look right. We need to be voting pass out.
