Werewolf Small Game VI -- A Bowl of Red (GAME OVER CHEATERS WIN!)

[path12]

There is trouble afoot at the Greater Werewolvia Chili Cook-off. Last years winner, Winnie Vandergroot, has apparently had her special Chuck Wagon Chili recipe spiked with pickle juice just as the judges came to her booth! There has been a pause in the action as the judges realize there may be cheaters amongst the contestants. Can they find them before they season again?

This is a very small and basic Werewolf game. I am limiting it to 11 players. I'm planning to send out roles sometime Wednesday or Thursday, but can start earlier if we fill the roster and everyone is amenable...full rules will follow before game start.

Signups:
1. Barkeep49
2. SnDvls -- veteran contestant, lynched day 4
3. MollyMurphy
4. ImTheCrew -- organizer, lynched day 1
5. Jonathan Ezarik -- guard, eliminated night 4
6. Dodgerchick -- regular contestant, lynched day 2
7. ntndeacon
8. Blade6119 -- regular contestant, eliminated night 1
9. Marathoner -- regular contestant, lynched day 3
10. Chief Rum
11. bsak16 -- regular contestant, lynched day 5

Alternates:
1. Tyrith
2. Alan T

[path12]

Rules: This is a basic game of Werewolf. Your goal is to find the cheaters. If the cheaters get to an even ratio with the competitors they win. The competitors win if they eliminate the cheaters.

You must put your entire vote in bold before the deadline each day, for example: VOTE PATH12.
Non-bolded votes will not count. You may change your vote as often as you like, but must unvote (in bold) your previous vote before voting again. Ties will be broken by the longest held vote.
Roles will be revealed upon elimination. Night actions must be PM’d to me before the night action deadline. Feel free to PM me with any questions you might have.

Everyone (good and bad) has a name and a recipe name assigned to them, and have all received different initial PM’s.

Roles:
Good:
Organizer (Seer) – Got to know all contestants while setting up the cookoff. Can check one competitor each night to see if they are a cheater.

Guard (Bodyguard) – Can guard any one competitors chili each night. If this chili is targeted by the cheater the cheat will fail. There is a 50% chance that the guard will see who made the attempt. Cannot guard the same person two days in a row.

Veteran Competitor (Hunter) – If the game ends up with the Veteran Competitor and a cheater then the veteran competitor will catch and reveal the last cheater, thereby winning the game for the competitors.

Regular Competitor (Villager) – Wants to find the cheaters before they spike their chili!

Bad:
Cheaters (Wolves) – Can PM each other. Can attempt to spike one person’s chili each night.

Nosy Competitor (Sorceror) – Spied the cheaters plotting so knows their identity. Wins with the cheaters but counts as a regular competitor for ratio purposes.

Roles will be going out soon. I'll use the player list in the first post to reflect current status.

[Barkeep49]

I'd like to play.

[SnDvls]

put me down too please

[MollyMurphy]

In. Please be nice to me guys. I usually am pretty busy at work and may be quiet during the day but I will be around at night. Lathum is gonna help me so I don't mess up to bad.

BTW I am Lathums fiance. Be nice. :)

Ok, got it. Must be nice.

P.S. I had been hoping you'd be another 0 post player. Instead you join ITC in the 1 post club.

[Lathum]

Hey guys, I hope noboby minds if I help my fiance. I'm gonna tell her to do the opposite of everything I say :). I am just gonna make sure she doesn't violate any ettiquete and maybe give her updates while she is busy at work.

P.S. you don't have to be that nice to her!

Mmmm. Chili. I'm in.

[Tyrith]

I will play if you need someone to fill out the roster -- aka, put me down as an alternate right now.

[ntndeacon]

sounds like a fun concept. I am in. I just need to find my Guatamalean Insanity Chiles.

[Alan T]

Path, I'll be an alternate as well if you need someone to start the game.

Since I'm doing the next large game, I'd rather sit out and let someone else play with more time to dedicate (if I live long enough for it to matter).

[Lathum]

Path, did you post a thread in GD for signups?

[path12]

Path, did you post a thread in GD for signups?

Not yet, it seemed a small enough game that I hoped it would fill pretty fast from people in here. I'll look back and figure out how to post a link and then put a notice in there today.

Just post this link in a thread in the general discussion forum, it should get them to this thread directly:

based on the what year you were born in thread, I think Path is in his mid-40s? I know Lathum, Sndvls and I are all the same age I believe.

Out of college! I also thought you were much younger; I thought tanglewood and Tyrith were older and they're both 19 I think.

Austin is a beautiful city and there's so much to do; it kinda reminds me of my beloved So.Cal without the smog and horrendous traffic. I think the news stated that about 40,000 are expected to move here this year alone! :eek:

I'll second (or third?) this. I really enjoyed having you and your amazingly quick posting skills on our team. And the JB poem was a thing of beauty.

If I count right, there's one last spot. I'll take it if it's there.

[saldana]

Aren't you supposed to be signing up?

i wanted too, but my current work situation is pretty tough right now, and i wouldnt have time to post al day, and will probably be working late a lot over the next 3 weeks, so i had to pass in order to be fair to the game.

[Dr. Sak]

How many openings do you have? I'm debating joining in.

[Barkeep49]

bsak can have my spot if need be, though I am sad to miss out playing another game. However, letting new players play is far more important. Welcome bsak!

[Dr. Sak]

Okay I'll join in. Ya'll will just have to be a little patient with me. I've never played, but i have read the rules up top.

Maybe Alan T can teach me how to be a Werewolf player like he taught me how to be a OOTP GM.

I was far more successful in OOTP than I ever was in WW. :) Plus my help likely will get you "killed" in this game very early on. :)

I'm not playing this game, so I'd be happy to help PM with you if you have questions and want to ask me. I'll stay neutral/unbiased so I can try to help if you need/want.

Barkeep, you're still in -- Alan and Tyrith were just going to fill if needed.

[path12]

OK kids, here's the plan since we're full up now:

I'm going to get rules posted and roles sent out sometime late this afternoon/early evening. Normal deadlines will be 10PM Eastern with night actions due by 10AM Eastern the following morning.

HOWEVER: Day 1 will have an early deadline, since the lovely yet formidable Ms. Path has made it quite clear that the computer is off-limits for Valentines' Day. So day 1 will have a deadline of 7:00 PM Eastern, so I can process at work before heading home.

Glad to have you all playing (especially the newer folks) and I hope you enjoy the game. You will all have names assigned and a title of your particular chili -- feel free to ham it up!

[Lathum]

Path, any plans on starting tomorow so the weekend doesn't cut into the start of the game?

hey all, just a quick interupption

MollyMurphys and lathum have lost their electricity thanks to the storms in the midwest, so she may not be able to get online at all between now and the deadline...they just asked me to let you all know so that you arent under the impression that she blew off the first vote. they are going to try and find someplace to eat dinner that has a wifi hotspot so she may show up, but no guarantees, since apparently alot of businesses are closing too.

Darn those cheaters and their cheating ways. we need to catch 'em and force each of our chilis down without letting them wash away the heat.

DEATH AND TEXAS CHILI
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds beef steak, chopped
2 onions, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon oregano
4 tablespoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
2 (14-ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, chopped
3 cups water, divided use
6 jalapeños, seeded and chopped
4 1/2 ounces milk chocolate candy bars

1. In a kettle, heat oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped beef steaks and chopped onions; saute, stirring frequently. Add garlic powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and tomato sauce. Stir in chopped whole tomatoes and simmer.
2. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan and add chopped jalapeno peppers. Stir occasionally, until the peppers are soft. Drain and puree in a blender or food processor. Add the peppers to the meat mixture. Rinse the blender with 1 cup water and add to the meat mixture. Stir in chocolate candy bar and allow to simmer for 1 hour.

Ed Shadybook looked over his station once more. "Paprika, check. Oregano, check. Cumin, check." Ed firmly believed in the old adage about everything in its place and to always be prepared. That served him well in his accountant business, and it helped him in his cooking.

He looked up to notice the judges standing in front of him. "Ed, we're sorry, but it's been determined that you are the cheater around here. We're going to have to disqualify you."

"Huh? Wha-what are you talkin' about? I'm, um, I organized this thing and now you're k-k-kicking me out? This is an outrage!"

"Sorry Ed, the vote was taken, you're out."

Ed Shadybrook, the organizer, sadly packed up his chili and went home.

please don't comment on a game that's still going on

Quit trying to hide behind your insults
Kill me tomorrow then, i dont care...it wouldnt suprise me to see me dead tomorrow the way you guys are playing.

Sorry cronin, my apologies

[Jonathan Ezarik]

I love how Blade never makes a mistake in this game. It must be nice to be a world-class WW player.

[Dr. Sak]

Kill me tomorrow then, i dont care...it wouldnt suprise me to see me dead tomorrow the way you guys are playing.

Well according to your earlier attack you said I am next on your hit list

[Blade6119]

I love how Blade never makes a mistake in this game. It must be nice to be a world-class WW player.

Oh, i make more then my fair of mistakes...ive been wrong more then anyone at FOFC.

But im also the most experienced player at FOFC, and i think its by a fair margin. Recently, my mistakes came in having faith in other people to see things that are obvious to me...

Dont get me started JE, im 100% on ardents side of things

[Blade6119]

Well according to your earlier attack you said I am next on your hit list

I said it to draw votes off IMTC, it was blatantly obvious i was trying to draw attention...

Im stopping now, im not clear of mind

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Dont get me started JE, im 100% on ardents side of things

That doesn't surprise me.

But let's not get that started in here. Please.

[Poli]

Agreed.

[Swaggs]

When I type VOTE, my computer automatically puts in SWAGGS after it. I wonder why.

Where'd that come from?!?! :confused:

[Barkeep49]

2nd game in a row im surrounded by idiots...people are freaking oblivious
Clearly. What was the clue that gave you the insight into the fact that ITC was seer?

[Barkeep49]

Let's keep it civil and about this game.

~Barkeep49, YFWWM

[Barkeep49]

Not off to a good start at all



Yup, one of you is fixin' to spoil the cookoff.
I find it interesting how quick you are to turn on those who essentially were trying to save you.

[Barkeep49]

The more I think about it, the more I'm fascinated to hear how Blade knew. I'm feeling more and more stupid about it.

[Blade6119]

Clearly. What was the clue that gave you the insight into the fact that ITC was seer?

I had no idea he was the seer, but it was pretty obvious he was good to me. Everyone was oh so gleeful to vote for him for being the third vote on someone, not the seconds like you all claimed. Secondly, your reasoning was total fluff. And then it came from the two people i suspected most at the time, in defense of someone i dont trust. Not only that, it never stopped. Besides bsak, everyone just jumped right on. The vote he made fit 100% with his character playing style, it came at a time when DC had been in the spotlight(from her playfulness with molly), and quite frankly his lack of defense said it all. A wolf would defend themselves, or someone else would offer up a side route and move people away. Wolves wont lose people on day one, when defenses can be easily explained away. Thats what i felt was obvious, so i threatened bsak hoping to move a few votes off him(and i said so after doing it). And what happened, more people voted him. I just dont get it, day one or not. The new guy was picked for doing nothing more then he has shown is his style, and was a great target since he was quiet and wouldnt put up much of a fight. He was an ideal wolf target for early days, and it played out pretty much like i expected.

Him being the seer suprised me, but it was pretty clear he was good and 2 of you are likely evil

He has no style. This is his second game. I think it's a great lesson for him: don't vote and give no explanation. I do apologize ITC, but consider it a learning experience:
1. Being seen as a bandwagon vote is risky
2. Not giving an explanation for why you're voting is also risky

With two risk factors here I'm not surprised to see it turn around as quickly as it did.

No, lesson is the wolves can easily manipulate most people whenever they feel like it...its been proven over and over again in recent games. Its also proves people forgive things much to easy in this game...ive seen countless times when the wolves make very public moves, make up some reason(like those you listed), and everyone shrugs and goes about their day. Not me, no sir

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Forgive me if I'm dense, but isn't this exactly what you did?

[Blade6119]

Forgive me if I'm dense, but isn't this exactly what you did?

What route did i give? By threatening to kill bsak i offered up myself..is that what you mean? If so, you all had the chance and didnt take it, so i assume reason in it

[Marathoner]

Where'd that come from?!?! :confused:

I can't answer for anyone else, but to me it was obvious you were trying to draw attention away from ITC. Why would a village try to draw the attention away from someone else on the first day? It didn't add up to me.

[Blade6119]

I can't answer for anyone else, but to me it was obvious you were trying to draw attention away from ITC. Why would a village try to draw the attention away from someone else on the first day? It didn't add up to me.

Then why didnt you vote me if you thought my actions didnt add up? From what you say, you thought my actions were odd. So why did you stay on ITC?

That is why i feel there are at least 2 wolves in your group, i gave you all reason to swap and you didnt. If you thought me a wolf, you should have swapped. If you thought me good, you should have swapped. So in staying put, you give me no explainable outcome other then evil was among you

[Jonathan Ezarik]

If I thought you were a wolf and you were trying to draw attention from ITC, in my mind, that makes him a wolf as well. Add to that his vote with no explanation and to me it was a no brainer. As you well know, we don't have a lot to go on for first day votes, so I went with what was at hand.

And for the record, ITC did a good job in the Survivor game responding to attention brought his way, so I figured if he was innocent, he would have done it in this game as well. When he didn't, I took that to mean he was a wolf. I'm sorry I was wrong.

[Swaggs]

Reference Survivor:Challenge/Common Thread posts #826 and #833. ;)

Ah yes... I had blocked that day from my memory. :)

[ntndeacon]

now I am not denying that there is probably wolves in the group that voted with me to oust ITC. I disagree with you on one aspect however. If I thought you good, I should have switched? The problem I have, is who to switch too. I felt that a tie needed to be broken so I tried to do it asap. Is that poor reasoning? possibly, but it is still what I was thinking.

[Chief Rum]

Well, that ended up being an awful move. :(

That said, I still can't fault the WW logic that went into the vote, and I don't see why Blade is so worked up (other than the obvious that we could have saved the seer). IMTheCrew made a drive by second vote and never explained himself. Contrary to Blade's suggestion, I don't know of any IMTheCrew style. I'm not sure I have ever played in a game with him, and, as Blade knows, I have been in most games going back to the summer.

I'm not saying the new guy didn't have a defined style, but I would hardly say that was common knowledge.

It's a WW truth that Day One votes are crap. We have very little to nothing to go on. But someone has to go/die.

I voted and left before Blade did his kill bsak ploy, so I didn't get a chance to react to that, but I think Blade overplayed it way too much for the effect he was desiring. IMTheCrew doesn't have a style yet I know of--but Blade does. Everyone knows he does and says off the wall stuff. He is exactly the guy I would read that from and forget about it as Blade being Blade.

[Blade6119]

IMTheCrew made a drive by second vote and never explained himself.
Thats exactly the point...that became the reason, when he wasnt the 2nd vote...sndvls was...thats part of it for me, as he got lynched be being a 2nd vote with no reason when he wasnt the 2nd vote.

[Chief Rum]

Thats exactly the point...that became the reason, when he wasnt the 2nd vote...sndvls was...thats part of it for me, as he got lynched be being a 2nd vote with no reason when he wasnt the 2nd vote.

Actually, I miswrote that. In my original vote, I even pointed out SnDvls was the first "suspicious" vote, but he saved himself by recanting. IMTheCrew's vote was suspicious to me more because he made it without saying why. It certainly could be construed as an attempt to get a bandwagon rolling on DC. Obviously, that wasn't what was happening, but at that point in time, there was little else to go on.

I don't know if my vote would have stayed on IMTheCrew if I had been here all day, but I know for the point in time I had to put in a vote this morning, he had the leading "suspect" vote to that point. It's just so disappointing when you're in a critical role, but you make a mistake like that.

I think as IMTheCrew plays more he will see why that was jumped on and learn from it. Right now, though, we're out the seer. :(

[Lorena]

I find it interesting how quick you are to turn on those who essentially were trying to save you.

Interesting? Why? It was a bandwagon that quickly formed against ITC and I'm pretty sure at least 1 wolf is in there. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful to be alive but bandwagons, whether against me or someone else are often suspicious.

[Barkeep49]

Let's remember that bandwagons are only bad against villagers. Against wolves they make sure that the wolves can't manipulate the vote. So to summarize:

Killing villagers = bad
Killing wolves = good

[path12]

Just got in. Processing night actions now.

[path12]

POT O GOLD CHILI
4 Tablespoons lard, oil, or shortening
6 pounds extra-lean beef chuck, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
2 pounds extra lean pork loin, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
3 large onions, finely chopped
4 ribs celery, finely chopped
10 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 can (6 ounces) tomato sauce
3 cups rich brown stock (homemade)*
6 to 12 ounces high quality bourbon whiskey
1 bottle (12 ounces) dark beer
3 Tablespoons cumin
1 Tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
3 heaping Tablespoons New Mexico chili powder
3 Tablespoons heaping Pasilla chili powder
3 Tablespoons heaping crushed chili quebrado,
1 teaspoon mace
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Chopped cilantro (fresh coriander), for garnish

In an 8 quart or larger Dutch oven, melt the lard over medium heat. Brown the beef and pork cubes in the fat. Transfer the browned meat to a large, low sided stockpot or Dutch oven, and reserve the fat in the pan.

Saute the onions, celery, and garlic in the remaining fat until the vegetables are soft and golden but not brown. Add them to the meat. Stir in the tomato sauce, beef stock, and bourbon.

Pour the beer into a bowl and add the cumin, oregano, nutmeg, sugar, cocoa, chili powder, chili quebrado, mace, salt, and pepper. Stir the seasonings into the meat mixture, and simmer the chili uncoverd for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. If more liquid is needed to maintain consistency, add either water, beer, or bourbon. Serves about 20.

Aaron Gobragh was excited. He had practiced countless times for this very moment, and finally perfected his Pot O Gold chili. Now, he thought, now victory is within my grasp. He'd monitored his station carefully, almost dozing at one point, but he wouldn't have missed anyone trying to tamper, or would he?

He ladled samples to the judges standing before him. "Nice color" said one. Aaron watched them taste it and pictured himself with the trophy......until he saw their faces contort and spit out his chili. Then he noticed the empty bottle of soy sauce behind his station. The cheaters have struck!

Blade6119 has been eliminated. Day 2 deadline is 10PM Eastern tonight.

[path12]

Oh and nice touch on the recipes as some of us get eliminated path :)

Thanks. I'm probably violating some kind of copyright but I don't think anyone will notice....

[Chief Rum]

Ouch, that hurts. Considering Blade is an experienced player who can stir things up, he is almost as big a loss for us as the seer. It's fortunate at least that he wasn't the body guard. So did anyone get any information last night? I would have to review the roles to see if there is anyone left for good who can. We need some theories everyone.

[Dr. Sak]

I think that is one of the main reasons that Blade was struck. He was experienced and the wolves wanted rid of him before they were revealed. Another reason could be that he was right on his initial guess so before he was able to get steam behind that vote he was axed.

[ntndeacon]

did Blade ever say who he suspected? I cant find that anywhere.

[Dr. Sak]

He kept himself firm on Barkeep, plus Barkeep was the second one to pile on to ITC. He said he voted for ITC for piling on yet he did the same when doing his vote.

[SnDvls]

Classic frame job set up....good one wolves you leave several "suspects" in this one.

[Chief Rum]

Exactly. Not sure I buy that the wolves got rid of Blade because he was sniffing too close. It's an obvious frame up job. IMO, that puts Barkeep (his vote) and bsak (his "death" target) off of my list for today.

Unfortunately, I have to go again, so I have to place a vote. I am going to go with one of the ITC voters (yes, I know I was one of them) and...

VOTE MARATHONER

I don't like this vote much more than anyone else, but the theoiry that there are wolves in the ITC voting list is a decent one. So I'll start at the back and work my way forward (wolves are more likely at the back end then the front).

I could easily be moved off of this vote with more information/discussion, but I am afraid I won't be around before deadline. Working nights sucks sometimes.

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Classic frame job set up....good one wolves you leave several "suspects" in this one.

Who do you think the wolves were trying to set up?

[SnDvls]

Who do you think the wolves were trying to set up?

Like CR said Barkeep or Bask (sp?)

[SnDvls]

vote NTN

not sure I'll get another chance to get one in later

[Blade6119]

thank you wolves, i really didnt mind that one at all. Best of luck to both sides

[Lorena]

Classic frame job set up....good one wolves you leave several "suspects" in this one.

Yeah, could be; but wolves do kill people who they feel threatened by.

Let's remember that bandwagons are only bad against villagers. Against wolves they make sure that the wolves can't manipulate the vote. So to summarize:

Killing villagers = bad
Killing wolves = good

Ahhhhh, so losing IMC was actually a bad thing! Gotcha, for a minute there I thought we were on the right track. Phew, thanks for clearing it up for us BK!!

[Jonathan Ezarik]

My top suspect is SnDvls, but since he won't be around to defend himself, I won't vote for him. So, I'm going after my number two suspect.

VOTE DODGERCHICK

First, seafood in chili is disgusting and shouldn't be allowed to exist. Second, her late vote yesterday against me. Not so much that it was against me, but that it wasn't on ITC or anyone else with votes. That looks like a throw-away vote to avoid being on the lynch of a good chef.

[path12]

Current vote totals (numbers in parentheses are the order in which the vote was made for tiebreaking purposes):

Marathoner 1 -- Chief Rum(1)
ntndeacon 1 -- SnDvls(2)
Dodgerchick 1 -- Jonathan Ezarik(3)

Still to vote: Barkeep, MollyMurphy, Dodgerchick, ntndeacon, Marathoner, bsak16

[ntndeacon]

I think the strategy of voting of one of us that voted for ITC is not a bad strategy. I tend to think Marathoner is not a wolf since he was the last on the pile on. I don't think a wolf would be that blatent. I don't know who I will vote for yet, but iwill have sometime to think about it over dinner.

[Lorena]

Don't be hatin' on my chili!!!

Umm... you do realize that before roles were sent out I said I started a job and am adjusting to my new schedule and wasn't gonna be around much right? Yeah...

So Sndvls is your top suspect but you voted for me eh? Nice one! I'll put a vote down for Sndvls:

vote sndvls

His second vote on me, the pileon IMC, and the mere mention of planting the "classic setup" seed to get people to look elsewhere.

As mentioned earlier, not sure how much I'll be around today but tomorrow is my day off and will have a chance to look at things more clearly.

[Dr. Sak]

I have been debating this one for a bit. I agree a little with JE that SnDvls was/is going to be my first choice but I am also a little skeptical of Barkeep and CR.

[Lorena]

His second vote on me, the pileon IMC, and the mere mention of planting the "classic setup" seed to get people to look elsewhere.

Just re-read this part and I do believe that sndvls and BK could be baddies.

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Don't be hatin' on my chili!!!

Madam, to call that....product chili is a disservice to all chili.

Umm... you do realize that before roles were sent out I said I started a job and am adjusting to my new schedule and wasn't gonna be around much right? Yeah...

So Sndvls is your top suspect but you voted for me eh? Nice one!

Actually, I forgot about you starting a new job. Still, it doesn't change how I see your vote. And I explained why I wasn't voting for SnDvls this time.

[Lorena]

Actually, I forgot about you starting a new job. Still, it doesn't change how I see your vote. And I explained why I wasn't voting for SnDvls this time.

Yeah, he said he might not be around so does that mean that people shouldn't vote for him because of that? I might not be around either so does that mean you're gonna unvote me and vote for someone else?

[Jonathan Ezarik]

No, because you're here now. You have a chance to defend yourself.

[Lorena]

dola,

people should vote for whom they think is a wolf. If ya'll seriously think I'm the top suspect, then vote for me, whether I'm here or not I really don't care. Your only loss would be tasting the pure brilliance that is my Green Seafood Chili.

[Lorena]

No, because you're here now. You have a chance to defend yourself.

Alright, it's cool. So if I leave make sure to unvote me because I won't be around to defend myself further k?

[MollyMurphy]

I too see merit in the theory that one of the folks who piled on to the ITC vote could be a WW. I don't think Marathoner is the one since he came on so late in the vote. Chief Rum sealed ITC's fate by putting him up by 2 votes with only 3 voters left. Short of them all voting for Dodgerchick, ITC was done.

VOTE CHIEF RUM

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Alright, it's cool. So if I leave make sure to unvote me because I won't be around to defend myself further k?

Except I won't be around later, either. :)

[Lorena]

Except I won't be around later, either. :)

I guess it sucks for me then eh? Smart ass ;)

[Barkeep49]

I agree that it's a classic setup job. And so I look to one of the most experienced players around (besides myself) to execute it.

Vote Chief Rum

P.S. DC I hope you know my tongue was firmly in my cheek.

[Dr. Sak]

Earlene Riser was picking through her crabmeat to make sure all the shells were out and didn't notice the arrival of the judges to her station. “Ahem” said the head judge after 30 seconds went by, but there was still no response – Earlene would never admit it, but her hearing had been going lately. Must have been all those Pantera concerts in her youth. The judge cleared his throat again. “A-HHHHEM. EARLENE!”. She looked up. “Oh, is it time to taste? I still need three minutes to finish the seafood! I'm so sorry!”
“No, Earlene, it is not time to taste. We have determined you are the cheater.”
Shocked, she jumped up. “I am NOT a cheater! There must be some mistake!”

Alas, it fell on deaf ears (not hers). Earlene Riser, regular contestant, has been eliminated.

i guess i am, congratulations marathoner, you got your recipe

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Sorry, DC.

[Chief Rum]

Okay, we're in a bad way here. We have lost our seer and three good guys. I would guess there are at least two wolves, and if we assume all named competitors (in the rule) are in the game, then we have a "conspirator", too, in the Nosy Competitor. So we have to start doing some vote analysis here, and get to a consensus on finding a wolf.

I'll see what I can come up with.

That's hilarious!!

[Marathoner]

Sorry DC

[path12]

The night passes quietly. There is no ruckus, everyone is busy at their stations.

DAY 3 DEADLINE IS 10PM EASTERN.

[path12]

Oh my fucking God, I just read that and couldn't stop laughing!! :D:D:D:D

That's hilarious!!

I was hoping you'd appreciate that. :)

[Barkeep49]

Nice job bodyguard.

[Dr. Sak]

At least we made it through that turn without losing someone

[SnDvls]

Nice job bodyguard.
you'd like to think that but by him saying there was no rukus I fear it's more like a conversion.

[Marathoner]

hmm, interesting that the wolves were silent. I guess we, by that I mean me, is doing a pretty good job at that.

[ntndeacon]

That surely is a help. If it was the bodyguard, maybe they saw something. It would be very nice to cap off the week with a capture of a cheating wolf.

[ntndeacon]

well I guess I will follow my vote from yesterday. Of course this can change if anyone comes out with news, but for right now...
Vote SnDvls

[Jonathan Ezarik]

you'd like to think that but by him saying there was no rukus I fear it's more like a conversion.

I think so, too.

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Okay, we're in a bad way here. We have lost our seer and three good guys. I would guess there are at least two wolves, and if we assume all named competitors (in the rule) are in the game, then we have a "conspirator", too, in the Nosy Competitor. So we have to start doing some vote analysis here, and get to a consensus on finding a wolf.

I'll see what I can come up with.

What have you come up with?

[Dr. Sak]

Of the 3 people gone...

Blade voted for Barkeep
Dodgerchick voted for JE on day 1 and SnDvls on day 2
ITC voted for Dodgerchick

Now CR did do the inital vote on Marathoner. If CR and Marathoner were wolves I doubt that they would've allowed this to happen because all that we would've needed is 1 more vote to seal Marathoner's fate.

JE and Marathoner both voted for ITC on the first day. And they both voted for Dodgerchick on day two. Seems a little too obvious to me.

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Marathoner is really catching my eye. I don't like his reasoning behind his votes (didn't like ITC's name, needed a seafood chili [disgusting] recipe). And I don't like how he's claiming to be the bodyguard. He was also the deciding vote in DC getting lynched.

The only thing that keeps me from pulling the trigger on him now is the timing of his vote against ITC. It would have been easier to vote for someone else since it was clear that ITC was going down. Then again, I went after DC for doing that exact same thing and I was wrong there, so maybe I'm wrong here as well.

That's not what this post was to imply?

[Marathoner]

No, I was implying that the wolves don't need to kill the villagers, I am doing a good job at that by voting them off. ;)

[ntndeacon]

I read the same thing that JE did into that post Marathoner. It seemed to blatently imply that you were responsible for there being no kill last night.

[Jonathan Ezarik]

No, I was implying that the wolves don't need to kill the villagers, I am doing a good job at that by voting them off. ;)

Ahh. My humor skills are failing me today. Good show! :)

[Dr. Sak]

So why would one want to imply they are the bodyguard? So people would actually thing he was lying and was trying to hide his wolf status. Like I said before Marathoner and JE are the only two that have consistanly voted for the people lynched.

[Marathoner]

I think voting out the seer on day 1 was a stroke of luck for the wolves. If there is no cheating going on there is no way one could know. Once this happened it made complete sense for the wolves to go after blade, he was the most experienced left. If I were a wolf, I'd keep picking of the most experienced players, especially now that the seer is gone.

[Marathoner]

Also a question for path, when do the wolves learn who are wolves? At the start of the game or after the first vote?

Thanks

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Do you have any opinions on what the votes mean, Chief?

[Chief Rum]

Do you have any opinions on what the votes mean, Chief?

Yeah, just writing it all out. I would have posted some things after last night, but it was way too late. :)

[Chief Rum]

I have three on my watch list. Marathoner, ntndeacon and SnDvls.

Marathoner-- while it has been suggested that he isn't a wolf because his vote on IMTC was a throwaway, his reasoning just sounded corny, and it's not a bad play as a wolf to toss your name there. Then on Day Two, he ended up waiting until he put the noose around DC's head. The late votes to see what develops is also a wolfish behavior.

Ntndeacon-- He was actually the deciding vote in the ImTheCrew run. He put him ahead at the time and for good. He also forced a tie on Day Two by voting SnDvls up to even with me. Of course, that loses some weight when you consider I am not a wolf. If you think I am a wolf, though, ntndeacon should be high ony our list because he stopped a potential pile on on me.

SnDvls-- He put the second vote on Dodgerchick, and then was part of the IMTC pile on, so that leaves him as suspicious in my mind. I don't draw any conclusions yet from him voting for ntndeacon early except that they almost certainly not both wolves.

General comments on others:

MollyMurphy-- way too quiet. Could just be newbie-ish behavior, but it still comes on suspicious. And she voted for me, too.

Bsak-- Also a newbie, but bsak has been making noise. I don't get a wolfish sense from him right now.

Barkeep-- His early Day One vote on Blade could be construed as a clever wolf tactic to get his vote out there, as most wolves will wait a bit to see how a vote develops before committing themselves. He also switched to become the critical second vote on IMTC, but that is decidedly more wolfish in a run. It seems unlikely that Barkeep (especially with his experience) would pull an obvious-seeming wolf move and a good non-wolf move in the same stretch, so I lean to giving him the benefit of the doubt as just another good villager shooting in the dark.

JE-- As noted (and like Marathoner), JE did vote for both lynchees. But I don't get a wolf vibe off of him just yet. He needs to bear watching, but nothing I have seen would move me off of some of the higher ups to him right now.

[Barkeep49]

I'm sticking with my D2 guess, as I think the logic still holds.

Vote Chief Rum

[SnDvls]

I'm keeping my vote where it was yesterday

vote NTN

[Chief Rum]

BTW, it seems clear to me that what happened last night was the bodyguard protected the targeted chili but didn't see the perpetrator. In a small game with so few people and at least two wolves (I can't see just one for this game, too unbalanced), I don't see a conversion ability. Plus, none is hinted at int he rules.

There is a 50% chance the BG wouldn't see the cheater, though, but still protect the chili. I think that's what happened. And since the BG can't protect the same bowl two nights in a row, that target could be the wolves target again tonight, to ensure they get one of us out. Running into the BG was the first stroke of bad luck for the wolves this game.

Interesting side note: should the BG come out? The BG knows he is good and knows whose chili he protected that night. That person is also certainly not a wolf. That's a circle of trust of two, with two days of voting patterns to sort through. A reveal right now could help us pin down the wolves, but it also may be a day too soon.

[Chief Rum]

I'm sticking with my D2 guess, as I think the logic still holds.

Vote Chief Rum

Sorry, BK, what was your logic again? I seem to remember you thought I was experienced to pull a set up off from Blade being removed on Night One. Was that it?

Just want to be sure, so I can counter it if need be. A vote for me doesn't help us right now (nor do I think a vote on you helps either).

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Ntndeacon-- He was actually the deciding vote in the ImTheCrew run. He put him ahead at the time and for good. He also forced a tie on Day Two by voting SnDvls up to even with me.

The tying vote on Day Two is telling to me because he claimed on Day One that a tie was bad, hence his vote for ITC.

[Marathoner]

I also wonder about SnDvls. His quick vote for Dodgerchick, retraction and then joining the pile on of ITC (although wasn't the deciding vote) is sort of suspicious. Going with my previous logic he is continuing to go after experienced players, ntn.

VOTE SnDvls

[MollyMurphy]

Just got home early from work...I am usually super busy at work during the day, so can't be too active then. Looking over what has transpired before I head to the gym.

VOTE SnDvls

Seems to me that SnDvls day one vote was a mistake....that he had not realized she already had a vote on her.

Voting for me guarantees the villagers/not cheaters will lose the game

quoted for truth

[MollyMurphy]

Marathoner cast the last vote on day one and day two. Also, the day two vote sealed DC's fate. The comment about the Bodyguard (#214) seems like a ploy to out the Bodyguard. Seems fishy to me, and no, I am not talking about DC's chili. SnDvls statements make it clear to me that he is not a wolf, and Marathoner's second vote on him today forced him to say things he may not have said otherwise.

Vote Marathoner

[Jonathan Ezarik]

The tying vote on Day Two is telling to me because he claimed on Day One that a tie was bad, hence his vote for ITC.

Quoting myself so I don't have to type my reasons again for this vote.

VOTE NTNDEACON

[path12]

Current vote totals:

SnDvls 2 -- ntndeacon(1), Marathoner(4)
ntndeacon 2 -- SnDvls(3), Jonathan Ezarik(6)
Chief Rum 1 -- Barkeep49(2)
Marathoner 1 -- MollyMurphy(5)

Not voted: bsak16, Chief Rum

SnDvls is currently on the block due to longest held vote.

[ntndeacon]

The tying vote on Day Two is telling to me because he claimed on Day One that a tie was bad, hence his vote for ITC.

I was pretty much screwed yesterday on who to vote for. either Iam the nail in Chiefs coffin or I tie it up with at least one more to vote and some time to spare. I would like to claim that I had realized that it wouldn't be a tie cuz of the tiebreaking rule, but I only found that out later that day when rereading the rules, and the earlier posts.

[Chief Rum]

There are few easy choices here. In the end I decided to...

VOTE MARATHONER

Voting for him two days in a row lends one to believe that I am particularly convinced he is guilty. That would be wrong; I am not convinced at all. But I don't see enough to move me off to someone else right now.

And, yes, I realize this make a three way tie again. I guess we'll see if this shakes things up with one vote to go.

[Marathoner]

In defense of my voting patterns. Looking back objectively I would agree my voting patterns are wolf-like. I had the last vote both days and the deciding vote on a villager, to obvious I think. I might as well wear an apron that says 'Kiss the Wolf' and walk around the chili cookoff. I don't think a wolf, or at least a good one, would be as obvious as I have been.

[SnDvls]

well congrats wolves. villagers you just lost your last good role but at least you have found your wolves

[path12]

Thoughts about the weekend? We could run night until noon tomorrow and then run day 4 through Sunday at 10PM Eastern, or if you guys would rather wait until next week that can be arranged also.....
