The one thing is, its probably incorrect to say Howard or us have a better or worse chance at voting off a wolf based on the sum parts. Since each vote, only one person is removed, you can't really say because there are multiple former Oz members in Howard its less likely, or more former Lupus members in Howard its more likely...
Its simply if Howard loses the challenge, they shouldn't be voting off a former Oz member, and instead look at which individual has the most likely probability of being a wolf. Thats why I said earlier I really didn't want to vote St.cronin for revenge reasons or otherwise.. its like road rage and would only in the end hurt me. Ideally I would like us to do as strongly as possible for the next several immunity challenges (like we have been) and let Howard have the opportunity to remove some of their wolves since they have a larger number of good candidates. |

sure, but we are dealing with unknown variables. The only way to be sure is eliminate them. We know the seer is in Oz so we wouldn't be hurting ourselves unless there is a body guard role. |

To be fair, we had been bringing stuff like this up. THats what the bulk of the weekend communication was about that got people all upset. I think its easier for us to say this is a great idea since we aren't 1 of the people in Lupus who is a villager and knows he is a villager and is being told he needs to take one for the team. I still think its a strong idea for the village as a whole, but we have to remember this is also survivor, and if you aren't there at the end you lose. |

There are 3 former ozzers in the other tribe. I don't think it would take much convincing to explain to them that playing all scissors would be a good idea. They're not going to get voted off, anyway. Then we take our chances with the other players. We'll almost certainly win the challenge if we can get them to agree to go three down. |

I am guessing the former helsing members (Pass and Gramm) would be ok with the idea if our intentions were to then start tanking to vote out the highly likely wolf candidates on our side too. That would be 5 of their members and a majority. |

Why is it 50/50 that I'm a wolf? (I'm not, by the way). We very well could have voted off our wolf. I still think we did. And along those lines, since a) there's some distrust of me and b) I have the ability to directly communicate with the other tribe in my private thread, I do not think that I should have two tries in this challenge. I would nominate Cronin or one of you that does not have the same suspicion level.

One thing I don't understand, is there any reason for original Helsing to get immunity, other than Lathum's self-interest?

I will say this in here, since the teams have been split up.
I am not certain, but I think Anxiety is the wolf that was on the former Lupus team. I say this for a few reasons. One, I know that I am not a wolf and that I am a normal villager. This won't mean much to you all right now, but it makes things a lot easier for me to look at. Two, KWhit had one of the two idols and willingly gave it away. I know that he had it, because our failsafe was to have one player (me) distribute the two idols, so a wolf would not know who had them. We all agreed not to talk about them at all, so that the information would hopefully make the wolves think twice about night attacking anyone in our tribe. Three, and most important in my mind, is that Anxiety did a ton of work on the wikipedia challenge. KWhit and I, like several others this weekend, were a little less motivated to completing it. The only thing that makes my question this, is that KWhit has been fairly angry over giving up the idol and has cast a few accusations as a result. I think he is legitimately angry, but I could see him playing it up a bit, to make an impression. To me, there is about a 75% or great chance that Anxiety is the Lupus wolf. |

Its just every vote for a former lupus member is a 33% chance at hitting the wolf every vote for a former howard member is a 25% chance at hitting the wolf every vote for a former helsing member is a 16% chance at hitting a wolf. So you have to vote twice for helsing members to equal one vote for a lupus member. Also another possibility is before the end of this plan is achieved another reward challenge updates our info on how many wolves are out there. |

Well.. I think if you are a villager and you are an early target to be voted off (even if the end result will be incorrect, you have to understand the reasoning for it), you likely should pass the idol to someone who is least likely to be voted off and least likely to be a wolf (someone in oz such as st.cronin). Since otherwise its really wasted.. But I would be more interested in knowing why someone else held onto the idol at the time.. |

It's a seer reveal. Do we want that public? I don't think so.

Well someone on Lupus apparently has some sort of important role and that is why they have one of the idols. Whatever it is I don't think it's best to advertise it.

Well I don't know the current status, so I guess I dont understand the harm. if Blade had one and was voted out so there is only one in the game, then I can see why we wouldn't want to bring that up. If you have one then I think you should say you do and then pass it to someone a bit better to have it (if you are indeed a villager). If its something else I am not thinking about.. well I guess I dont have enough information to give an informed answer |

I misspoke about seer and I didn't mean to infer that you were it. I'm speculating on why you would be hesitant to explain the other idol.

Cause it's fun. No, I'm not fucking with you here - you said something like "vote for somebody other than Oz or Helsing." But we know Helsing has/had a wolf. So why is it a bad idea to vote for a helsing? |

The only good reason is one Alan put out - that the other idol was kept by Blade, and is now out of the game. But if that was the case he should have said nothing, instead of hinting the way he did. I have no choice now but to think he's a wolf. |

For the immediate future the reason why its bad to, is because you just are being ineffecient at how you remove the wolves. It takes 2 votes for helsing members for every 1 vote for a lupus member. Since each helsing member is only 16% likely to be a wolf while each lupus member is 33% likely. The mathematical best approach is to work your way down the tree probability wise. Remove Lupus first, then Howard second, then you only have 1 wolf left and alot of good guys including the seer. The only addition is we never know along the way we might win some reward contest that gives us an updated wolf count that might make it a good reason to change plans. |

lol. Because by eliminating the other 2 tribes guarentees us we only have one wolf left ( barring any strange mechanics). I would rathed have a system then blindly eliminate people. |

I understand Alan T's argument, I just thought Lathum was suggesting blind immunity for helsing. If there's a good reason for a helsing to get voted off, I don't think we should hesitate.

The reason not to divulge is that it gives the wolves a little something to think about.

Just the ones I mentioned earlier. If there is something else I'm missing here, then well I guess I am missing it. My thoughts all along though was anyone who was a villager who knew they were likely to be voted out due to guilt by association knows they likely arent a wolf target either. So to hold on to the idol in Lupus would mean either they are extremely selfish or a wolf.. Perhaps I am indeed missing something here though. |
