People who have hardly been heard from. Unless there's a pressing need to ensure a tie break or some real evidence comes forward, I think my vote will go to one of these three.
Of those three, bearcat has 13 posts, schmidty 10 posts, tanglewood only 7. Some of tanglewood's posts were about him missing the deadline as well, which comes off a little suspicious, but could just be an honest mistake. I havent heard much from him since that missed deadline other than coming in to ask who was highly distrusted.

Does anyone know tabglewood's WW history?
He's generally fairly quiet if my impresssion from the last game carries over. He lives in England, so the deadline occurs at something like 4 AM for him.

Well it actually isn't. For example it's probably around 9 PM there right now. Not saying you should dedicate your life to the game like Blade, but at least put in a cameo now and then.

My head hurts from reading all this. I'm not sure who to vote for, but right now I know I don't trust Blade. The only other time I played a werewolf game someone came along and pretended to be a seer and everyone just believed them. In the end it got me killed so the fact that Blade came out with a bizarre claim like the role he seems to have instantly reminded me of that last game. I'm willing to give him the benefit of doubt for today though. I'm also weary of the small group of 3 because it doesn't make sense to me to ally myself with anyone in these games. Perhaps it's inexperience but if one of the people I call an ally in the game were to be shown as a wolf I would look guilty by association and it doesn't seem to be a good idea. I'm not sold on voting for Raiders Army or Alan T just yet because I haven't seen any reason to vote for them.
In the end I'm still where I was yesterday. I have no idea who to vote for yet, but I lean towards Blade simply because of the other werewolf game I played.

Bearcat, I would meet you halfway on the idea of trust. I think it is critical to establish people who you do trust, but I don't think that trust should be easily given. But when the "villagers" are able to start collecting a group of voices that they know are not trying to manipulate them (even if they are not correct at that moment) it makes it much easier to focus on the other players. It puts additional pressure on the "wolves" because they have to exert energies shaking the trust or else trying to placate the trusted group without the benefit of facts.
But if you pick the wrong people to trust you are in a world of hurt, because it generally takes a long time to realize the mistake.

VOTE ALAN T
I believe the race is tied at 2 for Alan, Raiders, and Pennywise before my vote. I don't want to see either of the other two lynched today.
Alan, up to this point in the game I've seen you as someone who is an active participant in the conversation, but not taking risks. This isn't some kind of mandate to play a style you aren't comfortable playing, but I have seen many people play a wolf in this fashion before. It is very comfortable to do that when you know that the villagers are not headed in the right direction. It is considerably less comfortable to do when the villagers start to move down the right path.
I would like to believe that we are on the same side this game but after about 1,000 posts I'm not there yet. But I'm definitely interested in how you respond. And how the rest of the vote plays out.

For what it is worth, I am not sure whether or not Blade is a survivor or other, but I feel like he is lying about his role.
He has the ability to see night actions (maybe someone slipped him a note?).
He has the ability to kill up to two others if they try to attack him, but would die a simple death if lynched. I don't buy this. I do not see any possible way that you would reveal this or be so accusatory in the early game. If I had this power, I would be quiet and lay low, hoping that the others would try to pick me off. Also, I watch Lost and I do not feel like these powers, beyond observational and, perhaps, being able to tell whether one of us is good/evil, fits into the "character" of the Black Smoke on the show. There is also no indication that the Black Smoke is something that can even be attacked. Someone like Sawyer or Locke seem more likely to be able to counter-attack, in my opinion.
And he has some other knowledge about AlanT?
This just seems like too powerful of a character to me.
Far off to be honest...i have no witness/seer powers, i have no outside knowldge of alant...if you really think I of all people would lay low your kidding yourself.
I hinted as bluntly as i could at it, but since you guys cant seem to connect the dots:
I am the black smoke/security system...everything i have told you about my role is true...this was just ommitted:
I HAD THE POWER OF ASSASINATION...IT WAS ME WHO TARGETED MCKERNEY AFTER BACKING OFF KING AT THE LAST SECOND...i do have the power to repel night attacks(to some extent, as i stated earlier in the 80/20). Im not a witness, i was the one trying to kill him. hence why i know exactly what happened. im not a seer...im merely an assasin who is built to live. I thought celeval and hoops picked up on this earlier, but they never said anything(if they did and were just being respectful to my wishes i thank you).
As for alan, heres a broad analogy since desnudo was talking about skipping rocks in a lake:
Swimming in the summer is nice, warm, fun...if you come back another summer, its basically the same...
Swimming in the winter is harder, more challenging(maybe even icy), but every winter its going to be pretty much the same...
Meaning a person usually plays the same style as a villager(summer) every time, and usually plays the same way as a wolf(winter)
His game so far, albiet not attached to me, has been quite similar the last time he was a wolf.

I don't think i have not taken risks per say.. I think I was the main one pushing for penny to not be voted today when it seemed the bandwagon was rolling against him. That apparently has gotten me some disfavor with Blade who was the main one pushing that. I also both days have tried to come out with someone I thought was a higher suspicion to me, and put a vote on them. If I was into not taking risks, I would probably sit back and see what types of things get stirred up. :) I'm not trying to take risks on purpose or not take risks, I just have an invested interest in us trying to get more information out there and people taking sides per say through their actions so Day 3 does not look like Day 2 did at start.
I halfway think that my trying to get people to reconsider voting for penny without reason other than thats the "Safe thing" that everyone else is doing was partially to help you all expand your circle of trust. Like I said earlier by penny and Spleen vouching for you (or at least most of the way) its taken you down a bit on my suspicion meeter (even though you are voting for me, I just think that is misguided).

hoopsguy
02-13-2006, 03:53 PM
Could very well be - I've been very misguided a couple of times in WW before and I'm sure I will be again. I think this is actually the first one we have played together, so it is entirely possible.
Whatever else you may think about the vote, there has been a good amount of consideration of it above and beyond wanting to follow a herd. If I had been voting at the time I woke up this morning strictly on who I thought was an other, without any voting pattern considerations, it would have been on you. But I've held off waiting for something that would reduce my state of anxiety around your play - it just hasn't happened yet. If you do end up a survivor then I'll be guilty of displacing my own thoughts on how I would play a wolf onto you because your actions/style have mapped out pretty closely to how I would operate.

Fair enough defense, but I still do not believe that you have the ability to repel attacks and assasinate people. One or the other, I can buy.
I still stand by my opinion that your role description do not fit in with the "character" of the Black Smoke and will add that I believe other named Lost characters fit the descriptions that you have given better.
That said, I currently believe you are lying more for self preservation than on behalf of the others.

I think I was the main one pushing for penny to not be voted today when it seemed the bandwagon was rolling against him.
That's true and is what leads me to believe that Alan's okay for now - meaning he is above average on my "trust meter". :)
I wouldn't call him trustworthy yet, but there are better choices to vote for tonight, I think.
Maybe Tanglewood, Raiders, or for that matter Packerfan, Desmond, or Bearcat are better choices in my mind just because their neutral or average as far as trust/distrust in concerned.
In fact, I'm going to cast a preliminary vote on one of these guys. This is totally subject to change and I'll be checking in later. But for now:
Vote Desmond
He had a pile on vote on Mr Wednesday yesterday and has been very very quiet.
Desmond
02-13-2006, 03:56 PM
Blade, if you're the "smoke", the security system so to speak, then what other role on the show would be the "seer"? The security system on the show can kill, it's true, but he also knows who to kill because he can tell who is good and who is not.
Again, maybe im just trying to correlate the show and the game together too much, but what other character on the show would fit in as the seer?

I dont know the show, so i cant say...but people said walt and locke had mental powers supposedly...i dont know who is good and bad, outside of my normal WW sluething abilities...and right now they point alan. yesterday they told me mr. w was good, i said it repeatedly and no one listened...now im afraid its going to happen in reverse today

As i stated at least 3 times, it was blocked...the PM i recieved said at first like "negative black smoke, that pattern in full...your attack did not succeed"...i inquired as to why, and he said something like "without giving details away, mckerney was protected"...thats as close to the PMs i can get paraphrasing.
i assumed he was either a wolf with an anti-assasin role, the bodyguard protected him, or he has that villager role that isnt afraid of the security system

I'm having a hard time even thinking about voting for Alan T at this point. He was one of the only people sticking up for me at the beginning of the day.
Hoops, what is your evidence towards Alan T and Desmond compared to voting for say RA? RA hasn't really shown me a reason NOT to vote him at this point.

Bah! Knowing for sure that KWhit is a survivor, this vote bothers me. The only conclusion I draw is that you're an 'other'. If you weren't why would you vote for him? He's a good guy.

I guess I don't understand if everyone seems to be going down the penny road of thought, why some of the rest of that group come off scott free right now. Its almost like Raiders is quietly sliding back into the shadows here and letting people run with it.
No, I'm not. I wasn't at my desk at work since I was out all day.

02-13-2006, 04:51 PM
Alan T is definately entering my circle of trust at this point because it seems he's one of the only ones who isn't being swayed by Blade's and Hoops "suspicions". These suspicions are definately hard for me to read as well, because it seems as though Blade knows for a fact that Hoops is a good guy, and if thats the case Blade would also be a good guy. So it would seem that in this case there are two good guys pushing for another good guy's lynch....Interesting.
I also think that RA is getting off scott-free here, especially if an "other" was involved in the King vote (which I'm not convinced is the case). But, if that is your line of thought, I think RA should be getting just as much scrutiny as I.
Screw off fellow Raiders fan! At least I put Raiders in my screen name. :D
Anyhow, I put the first vote on King and it was because he voted for me. Tell me again why I should get just as much scruntiny as you? On page 18. Yay.
Raiders Army
02-13-2006, 04:52 PM
After his last post, penny needs to be taken off of the suspect list.
I would like to see Raiders lynched today, folks. If you think a wolf voted for king, then Raiders is the only choice.
Not surprising at all that you say that.

Sheesh. I have 14 thoughts running through my fingers at once.
Prove how I deserve it. Because I pointed out the lack of logic in your day 1 vote? Because I voted for you today? I guess that's how I received your vote.

I haven'tbeen THAT inactive. When I have something to say, I say it.
As I said before, There's only been 1 vote. There's not a whole lot to go on, so I don't feel like going on a wild goose chase like in the WW before last.
When there's something for me to say in this particular game, you'll definitely hear from me, I promise.

Pennywise, I'll let Raiders defend himself here since he is in the thread. But my concerns on Alan T and Desnudo are as follows:
1.) Alan T: posts 1011 and 1016 cover them. Short version, when a wolf knows all the villagers, they can play the game in a way to try and generate favor by dissenting from votes on villagers. The lynch comes up, they were right to express concern for the winner, and try to accumulate trust. Alan T has been in the conversations, but not driving the conversations. If he is playing an other, I think I'm paying him a compliment. If he is a survivor then I'm doing a crappy job of reading him.
2.) Desnudo - throwaway vote on Day 1 that I just didn't quite get (it was on the same guy I voted for, so I'm not trying to light him up for voting for Mr W). Then was coupled by his declaration of "I always post late" when asked about it, despite evidence to the contrary from last game (posted extensively on this) to this claim. I'm not saying this makes him an other, but it did leave me edgy.
Another guy that has not really been part of the conversation up until now is Saldana. I'm not saying he is an other, but for an active player he has managed to stay very low profile.
I tend to enjoy playing with guys who mix it up in the thread and give me a lot of posts to work with for my analysis. As a result, I'm overly suspicious of people who are quiet because it makes my life harder. And I'm even more suspicious when people who I think are more on the chatty side most games are not chatty in the current game. Maybe they are sitting on a role they don't want to reveal, maybe they are others. But without conversation it is hard for me to figure that out.

I like that analysis. I did mention it'd be a good play for Alan T to argue for me to be saved (or at least for people to reconsider their votes on me) because he knew it'd make me essentially an ally with him. I'm not sure those were his motives, but if they were, good play. I don't think I'm ready to vote to lynch him yet though.
Desnudo on the otherhand was alittle shady in the post you mentioned and I'll probably be giving some consideration to voting for him in tonights vote because of it.
I also agree with your Saldana observations as well. Usually he's a very active player, but I know he does work during the day and that it sometimes effects the amount of time he's actually available to be in the thread. It will be interesting to hear from him when he gets home from work tonight.

...I'm inclined to get rid of people who aren't contributing anything.
I never understand comments like this. When there isn't anything remotely concrete to go on in the early game, why should someone be expected to have diarreah of the keyboard and come up with crazy accusations with absolutely no evidence to "contribute"? Talking for talking sake accomplishes nothing more at this point than sitting back and watching. In every game I've been in, I've been like this. After a few nights, voting patterns, comments and behaviors are easier to identify and think on. That's when I usually pipe in more. I refuse to be a Blade type of player, since that's not my style.

I am leaning toward voting for AlanT tonight, as well. He has used a lot of words and posts to say very little. Perhaps it is just his style in these games, but I like he is doing a good job of planting some seeds and then backing away.

Pennywise, I'll let Raiders defend himself here since he is in the thread. But my concerns on Alan T and Desnudo are as follows:
1.) Alan T: posts 1011 and 1016 cover them. Short version, when a wolf knows all the villagers, they can play the game in a way to try and generate favor by dissenting from votes on villagers. The lynch comes up, they were right to express concern for the winner, and try to accumulate trust. Alan T has been in the conversations, but not driving the conversations. If he is playing an other, I think I'm paying him a compliment. If he is a survivor then I'm doing a crappy job of reading him.
2.) Desnudo - throwaway vote on Day 1 that I just didn't quite get (it was on the same guy I voted for, so I'm not trying to light him up for voting for Mr W). Then was coupled by his declaration of "I always post late" when asked about it, despite evidence to the contrary from last game (posted extensively on this) to this claim. I'm not saying this makes him an other, but it did leave me edgy.
Another guy that has not really been part of the conversation up until now is Saldana. I'm not saying he is an other, but for an active player he has managed to stay very low profile.
I tend to enjoy playing with guys who mix it up in the thread and give me a lot of posts to work with for my analysis. As a result, I'm overly suspicious of people who are quiet because it makes my life harder. And I'm even more suspicious when people who I think are more on the chatty side most games are not chatty in the current game. Maybe they are sitting on a role they don't want to reveal, maybe they are others. But without conversation it is hard for me to figure that out.
Good points, even if they are a bit flimsy. I hate the early game. Unless someone, REALLY messes up, it's like shooting with a blindfold on.
Having said that, I have to vote for someone, so I'll go with a guy that pointed me out as not being active, even though I had posted like 10-11 times and I think knows very well that I'm always quiet early on.

I'm still suspicious of RA at this point, but I'm not sure there was really an "other" vote on King during day 1, so I'll let him go for today.
I'm also not convinced that Blade is on the level. I'm actually leaning towards him being bad at this point.

Blade was the first to vote. Period. He was the first to say that he was a simple survivor.
The way I see it, Blade could be the game's MVP for survivors since he's very intuitive. He also isn't playing his role like a wolf. We were both wolves in the X-Com game, so I know how he plays. Either he's switched his playing style (which I think is unlikely) or he's a good guy.

The reason why I'm most suspicious of you is because you said you have a larger penis than I do and I know for a fact that you're wrong. I don't like dishonest people. :p
Some people in my circle of trust think there must have been a wolf involved in the king vote. I know I'm not a wolf, I know Mr W was not a wolf, so that leaves you and Blade if their train of thought is correct. I've stated it twice though, that I'm not sure there HAD TO HAVE BEEN a wolf in that vote. But if there was, it'd have to be you or Blade. I'm obviously not suspicious of you enough to cast a vote your way. And I think Blade is pretty fishy, so at this point I'm going to vote for Desnudo and see what happens.

Blade is not a simple survivor though RA, he's supposedly the Black Fog. His coming out and claiming to be a simple villager means nothing.

I guess I just don't see it the same way, especially the fact that he "was the first to say that he was a simple survivor". What hell good does that do? Who would say, "Hey, I'm a bad guy!!!!!!11!!"? Also, he's always the first to vote, so that's nothing either.
I'm not saying that he's an other, but your reasoning is a bit weak for my tastes. Just seems wierd that you trust him so much for the reasons you gave.

SnDvls
02-13-2006, 06:01 PM
That's true and is what leads me to believe that Alan's okay for now - meaning he is above average on my "trust meter". :)
I wouldn't call him trustworthy yet, but there are better choices to vote for tonight, I think.
Maybe Tanglewood, Raiders, or for that matter Packerfan, Desmond, or Bearcat are better choices in my mind just because their neutral or average as far as trust/distrust in concerned.
In fact, I'm going to cast a preliminary vote on one of these guys. This is totally subject to change and I'll be checking in later. But for now:
Vote Desmond
He had a pile on vote on Mr Wednesday yesterday and has been very very quiet.
are you sure this is who you ment? Desmond was vote #4 for Mr. W...you were 5 which moved the tie off of you. Desnudo (notice different person but similar name) was vote #8 that was at the end and a throw away.

02-13-2006, 06:02 PM
Alan T, what are you thoughts? Right now I'm waiting to see whom I should vote for, but no one really pops up at me. I'm thinking about Desnudo...
You probably don't want to know my thoughts, because it likely will get you upset at me too and you'll also vote for me :)
My thoughts was I started the day with my suspicion list having you, Blade, Hoops, Mckerney on it. As the day progressed I became more suspicious of Kwhit some from some comments I did not understand, but since then have become a little better feeling about him. I also feel a little better about Hoops since the day started.
Even though Blade has a vote on me, I don't think its because he is an other, and I dont think his lies are because he is an other also, I think he is just trying to not die. I think he is just reading me wrong because of some stunts I pulled in a previous game, but even with that Im not going to vote against him just because he is voting me.
So far the two people who havent really done alot to gain more confidence with me from earlier in the day are you and Mckerney, possibly because you two have not been around much.
I also have no idea on the mass number of people who have been either laying low or not even been around, its hard to get a read on someone who isnt even here.

Okay. Fair enough, but if you had read that I would be out for most of today with an inspection (yes, I do have a job), then you would know that's why I'm quiet.
On a side note, today was a fucking bitch. I had to conduct five interviews and then I'm coordinating another inspection from the Department of the Army for 23-24 FEB that is just peachy (sarcasm intended), so I had to adjust that delicate schedule about 10 times when I came back to work.
Anyhow, interesting that you are suspicious of mckerney, since that's what I would expect of you. I also find it hard to believe that there aren't more people suspicious of me since my postings at times are somewhat...odd. Take it for what it's worth.
mckerney was definitely on my radar as a possible other (wolf), and you were one of those people that I considered to be helpful and a survivor. Interesting.

Alan T
02-13-2006, 06:09 PM
but he does want to know your thoughts on Desnudo and so do I
Well Desnudo always comes across as one of the types that I always wonder what he is up to. Right now if I had to guess, I think from the way he has played this game he is either a wolf or a survivor with a pretty important role for our side where he wants to remain low a bit. I think he took some heat from hoops earlier on which led to him making a statement that he -always- votes a certain way. Obviously saying you always do something is a risky thing, since no one always does anything.
Right now my biggest fear with voting for him would be accidentally lynching the seer or bodyguard or duke or whatever. The way he is playing so far, I would almost want to scan him one night before throwing a vote at him just to be safe.
I think worst case scenerio is if we pressure him, we might get some role reveal that enlarges our circles of trust possibly, but day 2 feels really early for an important role reveal.
Raiders Army
02-13-2006, 06:12 PM
From what I know, Desnudo in all probability doesn't have an important role as a survivor.

I'm also not convinced that Blade is on the level. I'm actually leaning towards him being bad at this point.
I didn't get "caught" in a lie since that implies I tried to mislead from the start. I made a broad statement that I believe is generally backed up by the facts. I am always around at the end of the voting day and try to wait as long as possible before making a final decision. I should never have said I always do something, since no one ever does.

10-11 posts in 22 pages isn't much at all and marks you as one of the least active of the players. No one expects you to go on long posting sprees, but the point of being involved in discussions is that it gives everyone an opportunity to start developing profiles of everyone else.

Not sure what I'd need to do to gain your trust, though as I've said before, even though I'm just a survivor I can't really say I blame you for voting for me. I haven't been around a whole lot to day, and I'm not really sure what to say being I'm still thinking of what to made of Blade's claim that I was a target of assassination by him, but protected, and how it would go with Blade saying this:
Interesting night, Mckerney had me convinced we was going down...i was sure he would be targeted just to screw me over. Hmmmm, maybe he was, but ardent just limits night kills to two people? Or maybe he wasnt and im just paranoid? Or maybe...i dont know what im talking about
Being I know that I have no special role that would protect me from assassination (and maybe it's just me and my inexperience with some of the complex roles, but if what Blade is saying is true, it wouldn't make much sense to me to have a survivor assassin who was incapable of killing one of more of the others).
The posabilities that I see are that Blade did try to assassinate me and one of the special survivors protected me, of he's making it all up, which honestly wouldn't surprise me with as many times as his story has changed.

It just feels like a very contrived move to me. Like you are trying to change momentum.
I don't have any reason to suspect you at this point, but I just do not see a good reason to change a vote to a non-vote other than to alter momentum. Particularly when AlanT is in a virtual tie right now. To me, it feels like you made a throw-away vote, and now that the person you voted for is on the chopping block, you are regretting it.
That said, you can play your game anyway you want. I just know I did a similar thing one time in a previous game, when I was a werewolf, and I got busted for it. So it is a suspicious move to me at this point.

there are 4 players with 2 votes Alan had 3 until I moved off him. I feel that at least 2 of the others haven't voted yet. This forces their hand to make a decision that will determine where I go. It will also clear a survivor. I don't think there really was any momentem on Alan anyhow as the last vote on him was mine on post # 951 and there have been at leat 100 more posts since then with several getting at least 2 votes.

Hopefully this doesnt put your vote back on me, but I honestly dont really play much differently as a wolf than I do as a villager, thats what gets me in trouble both here and other werewolf games I have played elsewhere. Last game when I was a wolf, I actually took every turn and tried to think what would I do as a villager. I actually have never lived past day 3 in 5 games of playing WW. :)
But at least i hope I do some good for our side in the time I am around.

OK, here is why SnDvls sticks out a little for me:
#1 Taken from my list on Post #575
14. SnDvls - has come out with knowledge of the show in his posts. I worry a little bit about him doing a rope-a-dope with his "hope Mr. W shows up to defend himself" post when he was down 4-1 and had not logged onto site. That is the type of thing I would do if I was playing an other, then point that I didn't vote for him and stuck up for him when he wasn't around.
#2 Quickly follows Blade onto Alan T (post #946 for Blade, #951 for SnDvls). I suspect Alan T (based on my earlier comments, and vote for him in post #1011), so now someone that I'm also a little suspicious of votes for him in a point where he is putting him at some risk? This doesn't make sense to me ...
#3 SnDvls removes his vote for Alan T in post #1077, pulling Alan out of the lead two hours before deadline.
Now, I know this is me going conspiracy theory ...
1. They are both wolves
2. There is some concern that there is a coalition forming (with me in it) of survivors and that I'm blowing heat at Alan
3. A wolf is always happy to have a vote on a wolf early in the game if it doesn't mean anything
4. But a wolf doesn't want to put a wolf in jeopardy for no reason
5. And it is suicide for a wolf to help another wolf too late in the day
6. So the vote comes off early enough to not draw too much attention
I recognize the odds of this being true are pretty damn thin. But this idea is running rampant in my head right now.

dola - I should also add. He isn't in the lead, but he's far from out of trouble too. If I was trying to keep him out of trouble I would plead for everyone else to move off him. I just don't feel in my gut, which is what most of us are going on, that today is his day.

I don't have any problems if you want to vote for him. Just don't vote for me! :) In all seriousness though, right now the vote today is 3-3-2-2-1-1-1.. I think the wolves are trying to get us go in all kinds of directions, and we are waaaaay spread out right now. TOday's vote looks more like a day 1 vote to me than yesterday's did.

SnDvls, offering up hints that you are Sawyer by saying "freckles" doesn't make much sense at all to me. I haven't seen enough episodes by now to construe any kind of in-game advantage that would give you, other than to distract from something else. So I'm not buying the "hints being dropped".
If you are Sawyer, then I would love to follow up with you on this after the game.

Sawyer's a con man, but has come through for people from time to time. (Shooting the polar bear, trying to make a move on the Others when they took Walt!) In the last episode, he conned just about everyone on the island into (with Charlie's help) taking control of the guns... he's definately a non-Other, and a player. Could fill any number of the roles in WW as I understand them.
Swaggs

My thoughts are that a Sawyer character would make a good hunter (w/ the ability to strike back if attacked) or possibly Duke-type (w/ the ability to switch out--but that is a little more out of character).

should correct myself. I originally though this post was by kingfc22 and not kwhit. so my whole "moved the tie off of you." refers to kingfc22. My bad, but still why Desmond?
Not much to go on really. He's been extremely inactive and he had a pseudo-bandwagon vote on Mr. W yesterday. I'm probably going to change it since it would be a wasted vote anyway, but I'm not sure which way to go yet.

Blade was very very clear in his trust in you - moreso than the group of us vouching for each other. He basically revealed everything to us but never gave us any indication as to why he trusted you. I find that strange. And then you vouch for him stating that he was in fact the first to use the term "simple survivor" which is completely false. And the use of that phrase is the only reason that I, Hoops, and Spleen are semi-trusted at this point. A fact that was stated very clearly by Hoops a few pages ago. I have no idea if I caught you in something, but it is certainly noteworthy.

Two questions about WW in general - I've picked up from implications that ties are bad. Is that because we don't know what would happen?
Also, something I've been thinking about - of what use is the Duke role, other than to move the vote off of the Duke himself? Essentially the ability to completely move the target during one day, if the person playing the Duke is convinced of someone's innocence/guilt?

Correct. My point was that the use of the term "simple survivor" (by me incidently) was what created the trust between us. RA saying that it was Blade and not me who actually said it first is odd (especially considering Blade's unexplained trust of RA).

Ties can be good, bad, indifferent, who knows. In some cases a tie could end up with a tiebreaker that might help reveal a fellow villager. In other cases it could end up in no one lynched at all, and you don't learn anything from the day (big advantage for the wolves).. Since I have been lynched 2 games in a row on this forum for advocating a tie or being involved in one, I will in NO way recommend us doing one here lol :)
As for the DUke, usually its to protect themselves from being lynched yes. But it -could- be used if they feel very very confident that someone is being lynched unjustly and is an innocent villager.

I guess I don't have a problem with you voting for Raiders if that is where your gut lies. Right now out of the 4 people who are most in the lynch race, its myself and 3 people I distrust... so I'm really interested in seeing where this goes. My only concern right now is with so many people holding back votes, this could easily end up in a tie on us.

jesus christ this is a long ass thread if you havent checked in for 7 hours
1. i saw several people comment that i was very quiet in this game, so i refer you to somewhere around 1 o clock this afternoon when i said i would be out until 9pm...i work from 4 pm til 1 am, and can really only check in while on lunch (now). I always post when i am going to be away for any amount of time for just this reason. If i have been more quiet than usual, it is because i dont really have good reads on anyone, and after DM'ing the HP game, i realized how much i could learn by sitting back.
.
2. several people called BS on blade, and i would like to add myself to that cabal. I dont think it is realistic at all for there to be a player with the ability to kill 2 other players at the same time...it would completely unbalance the game, and he has yet to explain why he didnt complete his kill on mckerny...it is my understanding that the black fog on the island does whatever it wants, but Blade wants us to believe that he is the most powerful WW role EVER, but was foiled in his PK attempt by another inexplicably powerful force. that doesnt compute to me in everything i know about WW...i am not sure he is an other, but i definitely think he is full of crap, which leads me to suspect him quite a bit, and mckerney in association
3. i was the one that pegged AlanT last game, and paid for it with my own life (bastard), and unless he really changed his game up, i dont see the same things i saw from him in that game. again, i dont trust or distrust him at this point, just saying that i dont see the same things
4. the run on Desnudo is based on the fact that he "lied" about being a last minute voter, or did i scan through the thread so fast that i missed something? my problem with that is, Blade has admitted he lied to us all twice now, first about not knowing, then knowing alot about the show, then about all his powers...not saying Desnudo is not a bad guy, but i think that kind of a statement is a pretty weak reason to vote for him
5. all that said, i am gonna throw my hat into the "an other had to vote for King" party and unvote celeval and

Vote Blade
Like I said the story seems a little far fetched right now. Maybe he expanded on his actual role to make himself to look more important to save his skin, but it seems to me that there is something else there.

you'll have to bear with me I'm not quite as good as others in doing this.
post # 548 you talk about roles that were heavly discussed on day 1, to me you are trying to get some roles out there to help the others
post # 871 you ask for a summary of penny's guilt/innocence
post #954 you ask again for a summary (to me both wolf moves, you act like you care, but don't quite following along or make it seem that way.
the kicker that still sticks with me was the pile on vote on Mr. W
I think they were both valid questions. I want to understand people's thought processes, which is why I ask people to explain things.
The pile on vote for Mr. W. was not a pile on vote. It was a vote to ensure we didn't have a tie. I'm voting King if I don't vote W, which means that one switch and we are tied (7-5 if I vote King). I don't understand why this vote is considered a pile on.

Bearcat, i am not tryint to tell you how to vote, but that is what we call a throwaway, and really doesnt help anything, including our being able to figure out if you are a good guy or not...i would have loved to vote blade too, but there is no point to it at this point in the voting.

Wonder if Desnudo is proving a point by voting late? http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/images/smilies/eek.gifhttp://www.operationsports.com/fofc/images/smilies/tongue.gifhttp://www.operationsports.com/fofc/images/smilies/confused.gif
No, but I'm certainly not going to vote until I determine if I can save myself or not. It appears to be not. My role is a minor one anyway, so it doesn't really matter to the survivors if I live or die. Hopefully there will at least be some usuable information from it.

then why didnt you take yours off when he took his off you?
Several reasons why.
1. First and foremost, at the time Wednesday's neck was in the noose. I didn't think that was right, since he hadn't even logged onto FOFC in almost 24 hours and didn't know the game had begun. There were votes for king, so I felt like that was the best way to save someone. I believed that if there was even a chance he was the seer, we shouldn't lynch him. At least king could defend himself if he was the seer.
2. You have to vote for someone right? I also wanted to see what would happen. The votes piled on rather quickly, and then the shift went to Wednesday, which was equally as troublesome. So I left my vote as is.

I've been thinking about it for quite a while and right now he is the only one I feel safe voting for. I've seen cases made about people(I toyed with the idea of voting for SnDvls, but it just didn't seem to feel right at this time.), but in the end my gut(Based on what I saw in the other game of werewolf I played) said there was more to the story blade has created.

Ok raiders, i havent seen much from you that made me think you are a bad guy in this game, but like i said before, other than blade i really dont have a lot to go on. but because you actually have a defense other than "i am a good guy", and i agree entirely with your point #1, i will give you the benefit of the doubt right now.

I thnk his inaccurate account of Blade's "simple survivor" comment is very suspicious.
Raiders Army
02-13-2006, 08:52 PM
I'm out until tomorrow morning. My last thoughts are that I think Desnudo is a pretty intelligent person; he could be a great asset to the game if he's a survivor, but I think he could play us if he's an other. I also strongly suspect mckerney since he was pretty much the deciding vote last night. I don't get how he hasn't gotten more heat for that.

Saldana, is there a relationship that you think is there between Blade and mckerney, since Blade indicated that he tried (and failed) to assassinate him last night? Are you calling BS on Blade through this vote?
Do you have some other reason for voting for him? Or just think that Desnudo is a survivor, so taking the option that allows you to possibly save him?

part of both, i am not sold on Desnudo, and i am calling bs on blade, if he is SOOOOOO powerful, how was he stopped...i think blade is an other and Mckerney is too, and blade is using this entire "i was stopped by another power" to try and clear one of his wolf pack mates.

pennywisesb
02-13-2006, 08:59 PM
At this point I'm leaning heavily toward voting for Raiders. However, that looks like it might muddy the water and make a tie more likely. Does anyone else have the same concerns that I do about his Blade - simple survivor comments?
I definately have the same concerns. I've been alittle suspicious of him earlier, but didn't really have anything solid, other than Blade continuing to vouch for him for no apparently reason. I'm still not positive Blade is bad though, and my gut is telling me to stick with Desnudo at this point. Hopefully my gut is right.

Its different game to game. As far as I know this game has hidden rules so we are not sure what will happen. There might be a hidden role from a survivor that breaks the tie, ties might be handled a different way (both die), or it might end up with no one dying.
pennywisesb

02-13-2006, 09:09 PM
Penny, that is obviously the "glass-is-half-empty" view.
Glass is half-full = no survivor lost, we didn't kill a seer or other important role for the others, and hope we get lucky tonight
Glass is empty = others convert the seer tonight, who was someone that had established trust
And there are obviously a ton of other scenarios, but for now it is back to "Wait" mode.

I think in a case where it ends up a dead-end vote with nothing happens it means one more of us dies tonight, and we still have not much more to go on than we did today.. I'm hoping something happens from this which at least gives us direction.

Well, If we're believe Blade's story, I escaped death last night, lets see if I can do it again. Personally I'm still not sure if he's telling the truth, even though his claims in part lead to me being one of the top vote getters, after gunning for me in day one and apparently trying to kill me in night one. With as many times as he changed his story I don't see why it's so easy to believe.

I believe you. That is why I unvoted for you. I'm not totally trusting you yet, but that could happen if things continue like they are.

Blade - if people don't 100% believe you perhaps it is because you have spun your story a couple of different ways?
There are a lot of ways to play the hand that you are dealt in each of these games. You play a certain way, that is often very effective, that is going to generate more buzz than other players. It is a little weird to then complain about the results of that playing style.
Let's see together how this one plays out ... I think it has been a very fun game so far, even if I'm not always seeing the results that I'm looking for on votes, lynches, players, whatever. But I don't think I've played in one game yet where that has happened.
