GoldenEagle is the cultist and is trying to signal the wolves to come after him tonight.

That is my read on those last couple of posts.

Coffee Warlord · 10-28-2009, 03:42 PM

So we waste tomorrow's vote, since no wolf in their right mind is going to go against that one.

KWhit · 10-28-2009, 03:43 PM

Is there any play in which GE makes a fake reveal if he's a wolf?

For that matter, why would MartinD fake reveal if he's a wolf.

It doesn't quite add up for me.

We can't be CERTAIN who to believe. In which case, I think it wise to let them both live until the wolves kill the real bodyguard. And if they don't do it for us - great, we get more bodyguard block chances.

Okay, fine. Then 2 nights from now. Whatever. We still play the normal game until the wolves either get blocked or decide to kill the real BG. Then we KNOW that we're lynching the right person and we've gained (possibly) a couple of extra BG blocks than we would have.

I came up with that theory first. I have copyrighted it so you can't use against me.

EagleFan · 10-28-2009, 03:45 PM

Either GE or MartinD is the cultist, hoping to get attacked and converted. My guess is that GE is the cultist but hat is just an early take on it.

Could be.

But we know that we need to lynch either GE or MartinD. One of them is the bodyguard, and one of them is evil. The best play, IMO, is to play "chicken" with the wolves. We ignore them both until the real BG is killed. Then we lynch the other one.

Easy-peasy-Japaneasy.

By then we could be looking at end game.

GoldenEagle · 10-28-2009, 03:47 PM

I don't what Martin was thinking, other than the fact that he was hoping to get kidnapped or he was tired of playing the game and hoping to get killed.

Believe me, I would not have revealed unless I felt it was necessary. I did not want Martin gaining any trust.

A side benefit to this is that the wolves may not want to lynch the real BG right away to keep us guessing and to use the cultist for an extra turn or two. That benefits us as we get additional nights of possible BG blocks. Every extra day that the BG is alive is good for us.

Make the wolves do our dirty work for us. I assume that they will try to kill off the real bodyguard, at which point we kill off the one that's left standing.

I agree with that. Look, this is the second day in a row ntn was getting close to voted off and we get a reveal to potentially put a half to it. That seems unusual to me.

The bolded are the relevant parts. Unless he gets kidnapped, he's a normal Party-goer. If he is kidnapped, then all the other stuff written applies. That's how I read it.

EagleFan · 10-28-2009, 03:53 PM

Put it in Lathum's hands by voting him. There are one of two results:

1) He is the duke and he makes his selection - I feel confident in his villager ability to interpret the information that we have.

2) He is a wolf who knows the duke role is not in the game. In this case we look at GE next as he came forward with clearing GE. It becomes a HUGE gain for us at that point.

KWhit · 10-28-2009, 03:55 PM

I'm going to have to run to pick up the kids in just a minute. I'll be back by deadline, but maybe not too much before then.

Before I go, though, I just want to reiterate that we should put the MartinD and GE issue on the back burner. It would suck to be wrong about it and lynch the real BG tonight.

Let's let the wolves tell us who's telling the truth.

We're 8-3-1.

If we get steered wrong today and they gain the convert it will be 7-4. One more wrong guess and it's 5-4. We would have one chance to guess right between MartinD and GE at that point or we lose. So yes, it could be end game if we wait two more days.

What makes you think there is even a possibility that there is no Duke role in the game? And why would you think that a wolf would know that?

I don't like that plan as it uses up Lathum's ability which could come in handy later. And it will give a much less useful voting record for today.

The only downside is we won't know if we get a real block or a conversion. Still, it's a risk for the wolves as well.

Well, we don't have to vote for Martin or GE tonight, anyway. We could wait for tomorrow to vote for one of them. And if we're wrong tomorrow, we vote for the other one (who we will know is a wolf) the next day.

I agree with KWhit. There has been zero indication that a role would not be present in the game and if Lathum lied, I expect him dead from the duke today. Schmidty even made clear how many wolves were in the game which is unusual in games I've been a part of. I understand you're wary of Lathum, but I don't think this is a good idea based on the certainty that the duke role is in the game.

EagleFan · 10-28-2009, 04:02 PM

Schmidty, if there are roles not in play would the wolves know of it?

Something just occurred to me about that too. I just re-read the role. The way I read it, the wolves don't currently know which one of them is the real BG either.

Is that right?

GoldenEagle · 10-28-2009, 04:04 PM

The more I think about it, we really need to vote MartinD tonight. Of course I say this knowing that I am Freddie. But the wolves don't know who is telling the truth either. Right now, they are having discussions is they should kidnap MartinD or me. It is really a win-win situation for them. If they kidnap me and I block it, it may look like I am the cultist.

EagleFan · 10-28-2009, 04:07 PM

If we are leaving GE/MartinD alone I would say we go either ntn/JAG (if we get a good response from the clarification that I asked).

As I said, I trust that Lathum would have a good read by now if he is a villager. I can't see him being around much longer if he is so why not let him use the power now. It lets him use his power and it gives us a defnite CoT.

If, however, we get a response from Schmidty that either all roles are in play or that the wolves would not know if one was not in play than I am all for not voting him (for everyone else that is as I can't change).

This could easily be a ploy to try to get us to lynch the real BG. Because if there's a lynch, the BG can't protect himself by guarding himself.

Either Martin or GE could be lying here.

You think? Sitting around and not solving this issue for another day is going to give the wolves an edge needed to win the game. If the wolves kidnap MartinD tonight, he can claim he guarded himself and that is why he is still alive. If you want to vote for me, fine. At least you will know MartinD is lying. You will kill the real bodyguard, but at least there will be some clarity.

This is why I was pushing MartinD earlier, trying to get answers.

For the record, I guarded hoops on night one.

Why would we want to vote for the cultist instead of a wolf anyway? At least until he's been converted.

Because in this situation, he can gain trust by claiming to be the body guard.

The story would be I came out and claimed I was the body guard. I was not killed last night because I protected myself (but I was really converted). The wolves decided to not kill me later on in the game because the seer and shaggy are dead.

Is there extra incentive for the cultist to try to converted? I don't know. You will have to ask MartinD.

EagleFan · 10-28-2009, 04:20 PM

Let's think this through:

MartinD is the bodyguard.
- odd play by coming out when he did
- GE counters as a way to signal the wolves (why? to keep out CoT from expanding? To signal the wolves that he is cultist?)

MartinD is the cultist.
- trying to get himself converted (why come out that way as it would only buy him at best one more night if we go with lynching the real BG on reveal?)
- hoping to help the wolves by getting rid of real BG upon reveal

Either way I think the cultist is at least worried that we are getting close to beating the wolves.

Chief Rum · 10-28-2009, 04:40 PM

Y'all are killing me with all these reveals. How the haystack am I supposed to get any work done? Sheesh!

I agree with the reasoning to keep strong after ntn, and let's see what plays out at night.

FTR, it's my guess Martin is the cultist. It would explain a lot about his odd reveal. He wants to be targeted, and what better way than to claim a role? What's the downside for a cultist? Either he is converted into the wolf he wants to be (or Schmidty's version, I guess Igor wouldn't be able to communicate or be a full wolf), or the real role (whichever he claims, in this case, BG) comes out and the wolves now know who that role is.

It was a calculated risk. He figured the real bodyguard might not come out and he had to hope that ntn or RA was not the bodyguard.

To be honest, I was not going to say anything. If he would have said he guarded himself last night, i was not going to reveal.

Exactly. So what better way to attract their attention? "Hey, I'm the BG, come kill me." They come kill him, and lo and behold, he's not the BG, he's the cultist!

Thank you.

Lathum = 100 percent clear in my eyes then (unless the real duke nails him today but a fake claim would make no sense now, only if they knew that the role did not exist)

No need in voting Lathum tonight, but I am still 100 percent okay with him going with his gut if he sees something. He is an elite player and I trust his gut.

GoldenEagle · 10-28-2009, 05:16 PM

I still think the issue with the BG reveal needs to be decided today.

If we allow the wolves to decide, here are the possible outcomes:

A) They will get a convert who has a pretty good story as to why he was not killed last night
B) they kill the body guard
C) The bodyguard blocks the kill and we are back to square one

Of those alternatives, only C hurts the wolves and it really does not effect them much.
