Werewolf XXVI: The Thing - GAME OVER! THINGS WIN!!!

[Swaggs]

Maybe a stupid question, but, Hoops, it is conceivable that you have been protecting a Thing without realizing, correct?

That's what I was trying to ask earlier when I asked if he had noticed anything when guarding night 2 -- which was phrased poorly. I mean the night he guarded CW.

[hoopsguy]

Swaggs, it is possible that I have protected a Thing. But if that is the case I did not detect them launching an attack and they did not convert me while doing so. I have tried to guard scientists in order to avoid putting myself in a position where I wasn't sure what the result would be.

I have a very good idea what happens if I defend a guy that is attacked by a Thing. I don't have a clear idea what happens if I guard a Thing.

and you guarded CW last night?

[hoopsguy]

Not last night, two nights ago. I have only guarded CW one of the three nights since his reveal. Blade last night.

FWIW, I will almost certainly guard him tonight if he is revealed to still be playing the role of Geneticist.

[Raiders Army]

Not changing my vote. I'll see you guys later after the votes are tallied.

[Swaggs]

We know (or very strongly suspect) that Blade was a simple, but brilliant scientist to begin with, so he is not the witness.

Would now be a good time for the witness to come forward?

I think now it is getting very irgent. anyone that has any oinformation has to come forward either today or tommorow. We are going to need a double Thing kills day at some point in order to even have a hance of winning this IMHO.

[hoopsguy]

If there is a witness, and he has waited until now to come forward, I'll be first in line to kick his ass.

I doubt there is a witness. SOP for a witness is to witness night 1, and reveal day 2. There's really no other strategy that makes sense.

[JeeberD]

Ugh, I hate HATE doing this 'caue I think CW is clean. But my voting for someone else isn't going to accomplish anything, I'm afraid...

Vote CW

[path12]

I'm out until after lynch. Good luck to us.

[mckerney]

Vote Coffee Warlord

I'm hoping that we get something with this one, because were in big trouble and have been totally played by the things if we don't.

[hoopsguy]

Coffee - Cronin (1869), Raiders (1878), Barkeep (1929), anxiety (1930), Hoopsguy (1943), Tangle (1947), Path (1949), Swaggs (1950), Jeeber (1962), mckerney (1964)

Hoopsguy - Blade (1918), Coffee (1945)

No votes - Kingfc, WVUFAN


OK, it isn't unanimous but it should be a large enough margin to avoid any pre-deadline antics. Unless five Things are currently on CW and thinking about moving over to me (well, four could force a tie) we are going to get our answers on the seer tonight.

[JeeberD]

But you know what, unless he IS a Thing, this really isn't going to answer any questions about him. Because he might get converted tonight after the test. And the people he's cleared could potentially have been converted. And so on and so forth.

Damn this game is frustrating.

Of course it will. It will mean everything he has said so far is true. For example, it will mean that Blade was not a Thing (until, possibly, tonight). That is incredibly valuable information.

[JeeberD]

But Blade could have been convertd last night, or the night before. So it clears Blade for the first half of the game, but we still won't be able to know if he's been on the up and up for the past few days.

[tanglewood]

Even though it is only antoher 40 mins or so, I am too tired to stay up for the result of the vote so am now going off to bed. Unless some truly spectacular voting acrobatics occur it won't matter anyway.

Some of us have suspected Blade for a lot longer than that. Of course there will still be stuff we don't know, but it will be VASTLY more information than if we test, say, Barkeep, and he comes up human. That would really tell us nothing at all.

[Blade6119]

CW, if your on the level, you know who i want you to scan tonight...granted, if you are clean i dont expect you to make it through tonight that way since if your good our bodyguard is bad

Testing CW tells us barkeep was clean last night...nothing more...i acutally figure he is clean now and wont be after tonight...but the group has decided...hoops hoops hoops

[hoopsguy]

Blade, I'm not painting an either/or scenario with Coffee Warlord today. I know that there have been two opportunities to turn him since his reveal. And since I have only guarded him on Night 4 there have been four total opportunities to convert him.

If CW is clean, we are basically screwed as I'll just about have to watch CW and they will convert their 6th member. They will almost completely be able to move the vote on their own.

[hoopsguy]

And if CW is clean we have a lot more info than just Barkeep was clean last night.

We know you were clean for four days, with only one night where you could have been converted.

We know Cronin was clean for three days, with only two nights where he could have been converted.

Etc, etc. That is the same kind of thing I was referring to yesterday when I said that I was playing the percentages.

Im just saying 2 days in a row you have steered the votes onto someone else. Im starting to think 3 original things, and convert every other night. Either way, you are a thing to me...its not either or, its like good/bad for coffee and bad hoops...

Fatal mistake...you shoot for a thing, not to clear others. In a game like this clearing cronin and i for past days means nothing...but today has already been decided, so it doesnt matter..

[st.cronin]

I expect CW to burn. I don't see how the Things could possibly have stayed away from him. As I said before, to them it's a pawn for pawn exchange which gets them a better board.

Just like you were sure on day 2 barkeep was a thing, and on 3/4 you were sure dubb and i were things...im not one to speak, but we both cant be sure

[hoopsguy]

Blade, I'm putting my vote where I think it will net a Thing. Not where I think we get the most information. Period, end of story.

But to suggest that the information learned from a vote is worthless is just missing the point. I don't think Cronin and I are the only two who think this way.

It's possible Schmidty is just fucking with us all and there are no more things.

[hoopsguy]

And the deadline is in.

CW, you have any comments before Schmidty posts?

[Schmidty]

By now, the monotony of gathering has overcome the intensity. You haven't found another creature in almost a week. Doubts that any of Them even remain has crept into the minds of many of you.

Yet again, the vast majority of you have half-heartedly directed your attention on Coffee Warlord. The decision is made, and all eyes turn toward him and the now familiar test.

Coffee Warlord doesn't move, he simply stares straight ahead. WVUFAN, who everyone forgot even existed, steps forward with the flame-thrower and says loudly, "Stop wasting our ti......"

Before WVUFAN can even finish his sentence, A horrifically barbed tongue shoots out from Coffee Warlord's mouth and just misses WVU's head. WVU immediately fires the thrower and a burst of flames envelopes Coffee Warlord. He writhes around, and advances a few feet before he collapses, never to rise again.

You have killed a Thing.

The day is extended, and the second votes will be due by tomorrow at 9 PM EST.

Vote Barkeep


CW just cleared him.

[Coffee Warlord]

Wheeeee.

Have fun folks.

He also cleared Blade, and Barkeep was with me early in the push on CW. I think we need to look at Blade or Jeeber next. Those were the two who resisted the idea of a bandwagon.

[JeeberD]

Well holy shit! Good work, cronin!

Now did CW clear Barkeep because he knew he was likely going to be tested and wanted us to waste a vote on a human or was he really trying to cover the tracks of a Thing?

I really doubt that everyone CW "cleared" is guilty...

[st.cronin]

Shoot, he also cleared me.

Let me see how this goes:

UNVOTE BLADE

VOTE JEEBER

[JeeberD]

Why are you guys voting before the nighttime action?

Voting for me a third time ain't gonna do jack shit unless I get converted tonight.

[JeeberD]

Dola-

Duh...double test. I'm a moron... :o

[Abe Sargent]

Barkeep also looks guilty in other ways, like last nights vote when the vote switched from him to me in teh last hour, for example.

I suspected him yesterday, coming into today, and still do.

Vote Barkeep

[JeeberD]

Fine, I'll go for the obvious choice...

Vote Barkeep
