Alant-san's actions add even more suspicion on my part to his already substantial Ninja profile. If I am dead in the morning, I cannot stress enough my belief that his is Ninja.

also, I fear for all of your safety when Shogun Norris-sama sees how many of you have insulted him by not paying him the respect he deserves when referring to his esteemed self.



I took a chance there, I'll admit it. Like I said, if tanglewood ends up being a ninja, then I really don't have a great defense other than no one was speaking against trying for a tie at the time, it seemed like what at least the vocal majority wanted, and I had no idea there wouldn't be a tie (which would have been the case if I was a ninja too). If tanglewood ends up being a ninja , then I probably would vote for myself too

Ok, so what we have here is a situation where tonight's killing probably won't help us either.

If I were a ninja I'd stay away from the people we already consider safe, i.e. Blade, King and Qwik (all to a certain extent, Blade more so than the others I guess (unless Chuck is a ninja and really messing with us). I'd also stay away from both Tangle and Lathum, even if they're samurai, simply because we've got our eyes on them at the moment and as long as we're focusing on anyone that's not a ninja, the ninjas are winning. (I'm not saying these two guys aren't Ninjas, just saying that I don't think that even if they were samurai, the ninja won't kill them just yet). Finally, I'd stay away from Mustang since he's the third person to be very scrutinized lately.

That leaves the rest of us as likely candidates for a killing in the nightaction.

It is a quiet evening - definitely too quiet. Just before dawn you smell the burning wood; it is clear that there is a fire outside!

Chuck is up bright and early and greets you before you can move to investigate the two burning buildings (yes, two).

"Last night you saw your numbers sliced - two samurai will not be joining us this morning. I have given Path12 and PackerFanatic more dignity through this act of cleansing than their killers did last evening. For two days and evenings the ninjas have roamed about this town unchecked. I expect that the remaining samurai will prove their worthiness soon ..."

Dead Samurai:

Day 3 has begun. I would like to set an evening deadline - does 9PM CST work for everyone? If not, then lets push it back to sometime tomorrow during the day later than 8AM where the board has more activity. I do want both sides to have equal opportunity to influence the vote. Please include this in your discussion today so I can either confirm the 9PM time or move it as early as possible today.

Ok, I've just spent 2 hours reading through this entire thread and sifting through the comments, wading through the personal squabbles, slicing through the commentary.. whatever..

1) I would not have voted Lathum last night had I been awake at the deadline.. nor would I have voted Tanglewood. I'm certainly not complaining that you moved the deadline, just a point. Thing is though, my definite candidate didn't come up until after the initial deadline either, so either I would have been blank or someone else would have gotten my vote.. just not Lathum

2) I have a few really interesting suspects in my eyes..

Grammaticus/Dubb
Reading through Dubb's post and Gram's quick entry with a long comment and some dubious voting has him high up on my list. The deadlinevoting was just terrible, trying to break the tie was extremely suspicious.

AlanT
He cast the first vote for Fozzie, not in a random way, but a rather detailed analysis.. Too detailed for a first vote on day 1? I think so. Add to that a rather interesting voting record.. Day 2: First TazFTW.. from where? Left Field?.. Then changes to Tangle to tie with Lathum only to finally drop Tangle to once again tie Lathum. I don't know.. just feels weird.

TazFTW
If nothing else, then just because he's never said why he votes for the people he vote for. Just a vote in the post, nothing else. On day 2 the vote he cast tied it up between Tangle and Lathum at 6.

I also have some "grey" suspects which I don't want to write yet..

Finally, as far as the Blade-action went.. is it POSSIBLE that the target was Blade and not King? The King-door shuriken was just to indicate to us that Blade had chosen to guard King, but being the bodyguard he was nearly killed but saved by the intervention of Qwik? Or something like that..

We have gone through 3 villager killing phases and we has lost 1 villager...i think thats damn good

I just am catching up. I think it was very good IF they are both Samurai. My instincts still tell me that they both were, however, I'm less sure today than I was yesterday.

Wow. Now, I'm all caught up. Terrible turn of events last night. We need to nail a ninja soon. I'm not sure how busy work will be, but I'll try to check in periodically throughout the day to keep caught up, and offer any pertinent thoughts.

Heres my clear thoughts on last night now that class is over and im wide awake...why kill two people that were pretty inconsequential to that last vote? Beacuse they want us to make the same vote...they want us to pick between lathum and tangle...i say we dont give them what they want. If a wolf was on the block you kill someone far closer to the vote, someone who makes people look at new options(like me, or kwhit). They did what they did becuase they want us to kill one of those two...it would be rather foolish to oblige them. Now i think mustang is still a good choice with how he was by far the top canidate and ended with almost no votes on him at the end of the day for only the reason of him not liking getting called out(what ninja would think that) and threatening to quit. Outside of him, i saw we go after people we didnt look at at all yesterday. I think that night kill was a nice hint for us, a slip-up by the wolves in my mind. Lets not return the favor like we did with the tie.

I think Chuck killed the two Samurai - not the ninjas. Re-read the post.

Chuck didn't kill the samurai, I think he gave them a decent burial.

Blade... You're experienced in the game, does the below make any sense to you or am I gone fishing?

You guys are right. Damn, I need to take some reading comprehension classes.

"Last night you saw your numbers sliced - two samurai will not be joining us this morning.

I am somewhat surprised that the ninjas didn't go after those that we think are cleared like Blade, Qwik, and King.

The fewer unknown guys that are still left the better for us, so I'm actually glad they chose the guys they did. Of course, they were probably hoping to get the seer (which they know isn't Blade and probably isn't Qwik).

Qwik came along after the ninjas left, so i highly doubt he had anything to do with it, and my night action had no mention of the shiruken, which makes me think it was from the ninjas...all signs point to king being the target but one, which is if he was why did i lose my powers and was snuck up upon. As an elite fighter, i shouldnt of had this happen if i was watching over king. This opens up the option i was the target, but its the only thing...qwik is not involved in that part if you ask me, and was out for different reasons. The shiruken is what tells me it was king, as nothing in my PM mentioned the shiruken, and its generally a ninja assasination weapon...but im still at a loss for why i lost my powers if it was king(hoops wont tell me), so i assume one of the ninjas has a special role that just f'd me up

I thought they made a big mistake when i saw that, and i actually doubt they were seer hunting. I honestly think they thought it was the best move to keep people looking in the wrong direction. Then when a villager dies, everyone who voted for him goes under the microscope...a nice wild goose chase like last game

I going to say this is wrong.

I think only one samurai was killed by ninjas.

I think to keep most people guessing, it's easier to vote on a run than try to justify your actions voting elsewhere; not that I think all ninjas voted on the runs.

As horrific as it is, it is better to lynch than to tie. We have come full circle and lost two samurai in the process.

As bad as it is even if you reduce our numbers through lynching you still increase the chances that by the next lynching you will have picked a ninja, we have nothing further to go on...though I must admit that while Chuck did the honorable thing of creating a pyre for our dead, he might've waited till we could figure out more about the dead or clues to their killers...

I doubt any of the ninjas changed votes, that would be too obvious. Whether we were close in our guess as to whether Tangle or Lathum was a ninja would be answered until later.

This has me believing that you were the target of at least one of the attacks and that there were two.

But theres the catch...wheres the second attack? The only scenario some of this makes sense, which is tricky, is if king is a ninja(which might not even be possible)...but if i was sitting on his roof he would have perfect chance to sneak up on me...and if he was the one the ninjas picked to do the night kill then it makes sense why no one else died and i lost my powers...its a stretch, but possible

Finally, as far as the Blade-action went.. is it POSSIBLE that the target was Blade and not King? The King-door shuriken was just to indicate to us that Blade had chosen to guard King, but being the bodyguard he was nearly killed but saved by the intervention of Qwik? Or something like that..

Thinking out loud alittle bit...

As I was sort of getting at in my last post, the best kill from a ninja standpoint is probably King. Why? Because we're leaning toward him being good (because of the fact that many of us think the attack on night 1 was meant for him) so we're probably not going to vote him off. The ninjas should be going after the innocents that we are less likely to vote for. At this point, that's Blade, Qwik, and King. We have a pretty good idea that Blade and Qwik aren't the seer. So that leaves King as a logical kill choice for the ninjas because he could be the seer and is not a likely candidate to be "lynched".

So why didn't the ninjas kill him? Perhaps it's because King is actually a ninja and the attack on night one was meant for Blade.

Could be that you managed to divert the attack on king, but not the one on yourself?

That's just a wild stab in the dark.

I think it's worthless to kill Blade, king or me so quickly, I mean, when you see a fly struggling in the web making itself more tangled but you have the chance to spin a bigger web...don't you spin the bigger web to catch more flies?

This is a point of frustration...maybe Tangle and Lathum aren't ninja...

unvote Tangle

I do, but i also wonder if its dependent upon a tie...it might be set-up so a tie=two night kills...though im still fairly certain we have a tie-breaker that just didnt vote for either canidate...but yes, 2 a night is unfair...it could also be pay-back for night one where they got 0

I disagree with the reasoning, though Blade is saying the same thing you are. If I were a ninja I would have done something similar as to what they did tonight (I explained that two posts above hoopsguy's description of the night). I think they'd want to us to keep working targets we're already on, therefore it was also in their interest to get the tie last night.

I highly doubt there were two attacks...two attack nights(like last night) are extremly rare...usually predicated upon a wolf assasin role...for them to have two attacks two nights in a row means they had either two assasins(i dont buy that) or it didnt happen...there was one attack on night on, on either myself, king, or someone else and king was the attacker(i interrupted his plans)

dola, that disagreement was only in regards to their selection of targets. I also have my concerns with regards to the real target of the night 1 attack.

I said i think they did what they did so we voted for the same people...i think its fairly critical we vote for new people...right now im thinking about king, kwhit, and mustang...gramat and qwik are my two trusted right now

right now I'm a bit insecure.. I have stated my list of possible votegetters, but as it stands I'll try to hang on to whatever Blade does, since I'm certain he's a good guy.

King's home attacked
Blade attacked
Qwik to the rescue
No kills for the ninja.

Is it possible that the ninjas along with the vigilante targeted the same person? Thus negating a kill?

Is it possible there is more than one vigilante samurai?

Is it possible that a bodyguard thwarted the ninja's attack on king but has not claimed his role due to the fact that he can renew his abilities every night?

Is it possible that ninajs can only kill every /other/ night?

Finally, is it possible that the ninajs aren't working in tandem, and that they have to search to find fellow ninjas?

I agree, but by killing King they wouldn't have changed who we were looking at, just taken a "known" (using that term loosely) samurai off the table as opposed to two guys that are totally unknowns to us. Doesn't seem logical to me.

Kings home was not attacked per se...there was just something in his door....that could have been a sign from hoops as well...

I highly doubt it, but possible...that would make you the vigilante if true...you can answer that question better then me, but was attacked by one person then you came along. I think i know why you were out, but you havent said anything about it so i have not either. I will only go down that road when you want to for reasons i think we both know.

Very possible, very likely. But if so they should have spoken up(1 on night one if true, another sometime today)...if one does today, i think he becomes the seer night scan and we clear a villager or find a wolf

I highly doubt we have two bodyguards, as i was one. And if we do, id love to ask him a few questions as i had role details i havent shared for this exact reason. If one comes along, hes going to have to have bloody memorized his role with how much ill grill him....

I cant imagine thats true, as ninjas(it was clear it was a ninja) attacked me on night one

How would they select night kills then...the ninjas know each other and can talk...they may be seperated in who they are supporting(likely), but they are not seperated in knowledge

The only reason i see to kill two unknowns over myself, qwik, or possibly king is that they wanted the same results as yesterday. if we were on the right trail they would kill me and bring attention to people like mustang and others...their kills=us in the same place...they want us to kill lathum or tangle, or both...please dont

Ok, I had Lathum as my vote last night (though I would have changed it). However, I haven't completely let go of him. Thing is, the way the tie was worked up and hammered in, I get the feeling that the ninjas were helping to cause the tie for whatever reason.

i also agree with those that have said we should go in another direction today, so i suggest this one

I brought up the tie and was by far the biggest pusher for it(though mustang caused it...interesting note)...I honestly believe most people went along with it becuase of my requests.

Coder, the wolves were as clueless as we were there was no tie-breaker...so they wanted a tie merely to be able to know one more person isnt the seer or what not. Last night was win win for them...either we kill one, or the tie-breaker killed one...im betting they liked both options...im 99.9% sure they had no idea there wouldnt be a tie-breaker either...think about that when considering actions.

I am starting to wonder why we are all so quick to give king a pass. Is it possible that king attatcked blade from behind, blinded him and then ran into his house when qwickshot came along? If blade threw the star blindly in the direction of his attatcker it would be the direction of kings house, would it not?

This is just something to discuss but for now

VOTE ALANT

I'll be out the whole day so I want to get in a vote in case I don't make it back for the deadline.

Work is about to get busy in the next 10 to 15 minutes, but so far I'm agreeing with Blade's sentiment. I still think Tangle and Lathum are probably honorable Samurai, and that we should go in another direction. I still think I have some unresolved suspicions about Mustang that go beyond just my vote for him because he voted for himself platform. I'll wait to see if any good evidence comes along later today, but I'm leaning towards voting for Mustang at this point.

Most interesting...heres my problem with that...if i was on tangle i would have made the exact same move...while im 99% sure gramat is good, he forced our hands and if i was on tangle i would have swapped. therefore i cant hold it against him. he did know i was the bodyguard, which means either he in a ninja or someone we need as he is acutally thinking things through. Im leaning hes good, so im interested in your vote. People who vote for players i think are playing good villager games catch my interest(king or i, a good player was targeted night one...meaning to me we have at least one vet wolf running things...which i why you and mr. w have been on my watch lists...)...interesting move buddy
