i also am wondering why we have to have Lathum give Oliegirl a voting order...why cant we just pick someone and have them place the vote...if they dont do it, or vote for someone that is not the consensus, then we have an easy target for tomorrow

seems to me like Lathum is over complicating things as a way to make himself seem more important.

Abe Sargent 10-17-2007 11:19 AM

That actually makes a lot of sense saldana.

saldana 10-17-2007 11:26 AM

one more thought....

NTN had the ability to send/recieve a PM with one player per day....seeing as he was killed the first night, would it not be a reasonable assumption that his Day 1 choice was a Demon, and since they knew his ability, killed him for it.

working from that position, who do we think would be likely to be NTN's choice for a day one message?

First, my vote for Schmidty yesterday. I said it was little more than a hunch, and that was true. Schmidty took it as a bit more than that and wanted an explanation. I'm OK with that. It's ironic, but the reason I was wondering about him was due to the fact that he was around much more than normal on day 1. That's it.

Secondly, for Alan -- you need to sometimes just look at things in the simplest way instead of looking for conspiracy everywhere. I vouched for Anxiety day 1. I claim no other knowledge. Anxiety vouched for me yesterday (thanks, Abe!). It does not make sense for either of us to come out this early to protect a fellow demon. Even though we have lost a seer, I don't doubt that there is some other kind of role in this game that has the ability to see what side someone is on........and I'd be very surprised if neither Anxiety or myself would not have been checked by now. Instead of reaching for illogical conclusions that we must be bad, I think it makes more sense (especially in light of Anxiety pointing towards Render) to assume that we have the beginnings of knowing who some of the good guys are. Just because I do not want to specifically spell out my role doesn't mean it shouldn't be pretty damn clear by now.......and again, if I was bad wouldn't it be more prudent for me to just claim some sort of role to stop all the speculation? As far as I'm concerned, your pushing on this makes you look far more suspicious than I am.

I need to reread some stuff to see about our bishop, but agree that his motives might not entirely jive with ours. In the meantime:

WORK ON CARPENTRY


I don't see how my questioning you makes me look far more suspicious. I would think it would be something that any villager would want to get to the bottom of. The only thing worse than a CoT is one built with someone who can't be trusted in the middle of it.

I actually have my mind thinking a different pair being Gabriel and Lucifer. Its been part of my hunch all along. I agree with someone else (I think olliegirl said it?) That I don't see any reason why Gabriel and Lucifer would want to protect each other, and would assume they would be working to remove each other from the start.

You keep digging for something, and I think you're a wolf trying to find targets. I'm going to explain my hunch, not because I feel I want to prove anything to you or because I want to provide you more information, but instead to share my line of thinking with others since it appears that other people have started down that road now..

Day 1, I didn't get much chance to look completely through all of the roles and rules and such, but several things stood out very obvious to me. I took a small step of faith that if I had the ability to spot those in shortened time that pretty much everyone else likely is aware of them as well. The first big red light that popped out to me was Chief Rum's quick vote on a player who hasn't played in a while. That seemed odd to me, it seemed like a statement vote of sorts.. Looking through at who exactly would have information at that point and what type of information they would have... it drew me to looking at the roles of Gabriel and Lucifer and that is where my hunch began.

I didn't really do a coin flip per say on which to vote for, but I finally figured it was more likely that Gabriel would get out a "statement vote" against lucifer in case something happened to him later on than the other way around. Thus my fairly quick vote for Anxiety there assuming that Chief was Gabriel. I then grew suspicious of Cronin and Path for coming to Anxiety's defense. I assume/assumed they were the demons.

Saldana has a point that I'm not sure how to resolve in my mind here:

Either Path took a very big leap of faith that he wouldn't get scanned or maybe my teams are reversed in my mind... Like I said on day 1 I think it is.. I think either Anxiety or Chief rum needs to die to resolve this. This is also the big reason I pushed Path alot for a better explanation.. he already put a big target on his and Anxiety's heads might as well help provide us the complete picture instead of leaving us guessing. If Path is indeed an angel and Anxiety is indeed Gabriel, then we should know it so we can target Chief and get rid of him immediately today.


One other comment Saldana had, that somehow my quoting didn't get here that I wanted to look at.. about who Ntn might have chosen to send a message to day 1 and the possibility it caused his death. I did a quick adv.search of this thread to pull up the 6 posts ntn had:

Now Giants on the other hand.....




most of them don't really tell us much (other than him having good taste in being a Falcons fan).. The only two people he showed trust to was Anxiety and Cronin, and the only person he showed distrust to is Chief.. My assumption is he would use his ability to try to extend a CoT , not find someone he distrusted.. so initial guess would have been Cronin and/or Anxiety once again...

So as you can see, there seems to still be a block of people who all trust each other in Cronin, path, Anxiety vs Chief here... but I still am not fully convinced.. I still think we need to look into that to see which side is on our side.

That could be, but at least now we have a person who must vote. I think that takes away a variable -- now if anyone else votes, they're screwed.

Just getting those in, and sending the signal that I'm all in for this plan -- not going to say I'm in, then decide to put in a vote later (since these actions can't be undone). I encourage all of you to show your good faith and do the same -- the longer you wait to start building, the less trustworthy you become. I also encourage olie to vote for Neon Chaos (I think I'm the only one who's put in a "vote" for that).

That would be an pretty unwise play as either an angel (with a cultist around) or as a demon to put such a huge target on myself. I'd like to think I'm a better player than that. ;)

I just want to be clear -- I have no read on Cronin at all (though he seems to be playing for the village to me) and do not claim to know anything about him. I only am vouching for Anxiety.

Alan T 10-17-2007 01:12 PM

Viewing the amount of damage undone to the cathedral last night, the demons can sabotage us long enough for us to run into problems. As others have said, if you think Barkeep is going to let us just build a cathedral and win on day 3 or 4 or 5 or something without killing a demon, then well its either a very poorly written game or you are deluding yourselves.

I don't mind Lathum's plan that much, but I question the judgement of those who are pushing the direction of it. For days I have tried to push people to get to the bottom of the Chief Rum - Anxiety thing (as well as giving us more information about both Path and Cronin. I would still be pushing for Cronin because of his defense of Render, but for the time being will assume that A) Demons don't know the cultist identity and B) Anxiety is indeed good as I've started figuring this morning. Because of that, we really need to see what Chief Rum's allegiance is to help lock that CoT in. I still don't feel as confident as others do about it.

I've waited as long as I could for the "plan" to come forth, but lack of discussion and movement and goof faith actions leave me believing that it will not happen. We've already been told that Neon won't be following the plan, and I am guessing there will be others. The plan doesn't work when everyone isn't on board. So if people won't join me in going after Path, Cronin or Anxiety, perhaps they will follow me in the opposite direction instead. One way or another we need to figure out which members of this block are on which side.

The reason why I suggested I order Oliegirl is that way there could be no shenanigans, she HAS to vote someone, it's a sure thing. Anyone else who votes is then outing themselves as not acting in our best interests.

I think I am actualy under complicating things by taking the guesswork out of who should cast the single vote.

As for "trying to make myself important" I am just trying to make the best use of my ability

Get to the bottom of the Chief Rum - Anxiety thing? The bottom of it is that it's a Day 1 vote made by CR, since he wasn't going to be around the rest of the day! I think you're seriously distracting us from the task at hand.

However, I think we can still salvage the plan and build the Cathedral without you. I call upon Lathum to join oliegirl in voting for the same person, be it Neon Chaos or Alan T.

Lathum 10-17-2007 01:20 PM

clearly AlanT has his own agenda.

I thought there were enough people discussing things to give it more time ( we do have 8 hours untill the deadline)

st.cronin 10-17-2007 01:20 PM

I just want to say that I have never said I trust either Anxiety or path. On day 1 I was arguing against lynching Anxiety - not because I trusted him, but because I thought he was a poor choice for a day 1 lynch.

path12 10-17-2007 01:24 PM

You know, I've been thinking about the plan. The one drawback I see (other than Alan voting on his own) is that it does negate us getting voting information on individuals, and potential good information on late switches to save a demon, etc. If I was bad, and knew that the target was good, it would be easy to pile on and not even really mention a target and just let others take care of it.

Thoughts?

Go ahead and suspect me all you want. If I was a demon and I noticed a day one screw up like that I wouldn't point it out.

I would sell out an ally on day 3 or 4 but not day 1, there is no real point to it.

Maybe I'm dense, but I don't see how it is that Chief must be on a different side than the others you mentioned. I think that's quite a leap to take from an early day 1 vote.

path12 10-17-2007 01:27 PM

Dola, not that I have anything against a Chief vote, per se. But I wasn't bothered by his vote as much as I was with your immediate follow-up vote.

I think Alan's thinking is that since the vote came SO early, it had to mean something. Though, since Alan has already gone off on someone for not being aware of his schedule, I'm sure he is aware that CR said he was just putting the vote in since he wouldn't be around for the rest of the day.

It really doesn't matter at this point, alanT blew it up.

My whole point was to only use a single vote so we can dedicate the rest of our actions on the cathedral.

Now thanks to AlanT we will be costing ourselves 5 actions, Alant's 2 votes plus 3 more to counter them.

So forget my idea, we can just continue to stay disorganized and run around like chickens with our heads cut off.

Why not just let those votes stand? I guess Chief Rum will cast two votes for somebody. So then we let the mysterious "tiebreak" happen, or else we have one person cast a tiebreak. Worst case we still only need one vote.

I'm ok with CR being lynched, I've no read on him whatsoever.

Really, it was a coin flip between CR and Alan T. I forget exactly why I picked CR, but there wasn't a very good reason behind it, whatever it was.

I don't know their relationship. I think least likely is Gabriel/Lucifer. Either masons or twins/lovers is my best guess, but I'm not at all confident its correct.

Yeah, looking back, it looks like you did. But I replied by saying "TWO votes on him?" Maybe I was seeing double then, because I said that thinking you voted for him twice, and still thought that until now. But there's just one vote there. Weird. I think this orange is freaking me out.

Like I said earlier, it's not a bad plan, it's just that someone always messes it up. With three different factions plus maybe a fourth (Bishop), you can't expect everyone to put the same weight into the same plan.

There's at least three different sets of victory conditions. Do you think, at this point, the good Bishop's interests do not align with our own? Does he not desire to finish the cathedral, or does he lack interest in eliminating the evil in our midst?

Just trying to look at it logically, I'd think our Bishop would very much like his cathedral finished. Whether or not he cares about the demons is the question, I believe.

Of course, if he would not be officiating at the cathedral then never mind.

I also don't like separate victory conditions. I would have no problem with either a vote on the Liege or the Bishop today.

The reason I see is that he's willing to play along with our plan. Voting for him will mean we'll need 5 votes to get him (assuming he votes for CR), while it would only take 3 votes to get Alan. Assuming CR comes in here and votes in self-defense, we should be fine.

Lathum 10-17-2007 02:46 PM

Vote Saldana

It is a little to convienent he is coming after me in a semi subtle way by saying my actions are something a demon would do and by saying i am trying to make myself important.

I think he may be trying to use my reputation in past games against me.

It's okay -- Your Lordship, Page, we can still get this thing without wasting too much. We need 3 votes to combat Alan's CR votes. If you guys can be around at deadline to make sure CR gets his votes in, than we can all spend the rest of our time getting stuff built.

just so i have this straight...

you come up with "the plan", where you are going to unnecessarily order Oliegirl to cast a vote for someone.

I call the plan into question, as well as your assertion that you should be in the COT because you helped lynch the cultist, despite the fact the Demons very likely had no idea who the cultist was.

you then try to lead a charge against Neon because he has his own victory conditions....this charge gets little to no support.

then, despite the fact that you have spent the entire day telling everyone they should do nothing but work on the cathedral, use one of your action points to vote for me.

anyone else see this as erratic at best, bizarre at the worst?


either way, i can prove i am a villager, and will if necessary.

Just keeping your seat warm your grace.....:D

Abe Sargent 10-17-2007 05:41 PM

As I've said before, although I think Lathum's plan was good in theory, you aren't going to get four different factions all algined in addition to people who have different reasons for their actions. Then he voted fo saldana when the easiest vote, accoridng to his plan, would have been AlanT, who could not vote in self defense because he has already voted, so three votes there and we are done. Now we have votes all over the place.

Lathum's idea was poor, administravitely, and he carried it out poorly. That's doesn;t make him a wolf, per se, but I have to question why a good player would make what I believe is a bad call, especially the saldana vote.

I don;t have a read on saldana much, he's been a little utr at times, so I'd be okay if we all voted him off, but the best candidate is AlanT since he doubles voted.

Now everybody is going to vote because they have to. There are too many votes out there, and if someone swings their vots to you after you've put two actions on the cathedral, then you are screwed with no way to defend yourself, so the incentive to push for the cathedral is gone.

Ergo, tehre is no reason for me not to cast a vote right now. Lathum strike ms as odd, but he did bring us the cultist yesterday. That gives him solme credibility to me, but he's credibility is not what it was.

AlanT has struck me as a bad villager from the start. At some point in time we have to look his way/

CR has two votes on him, and he's been a bit utr too, even for him. But he sometimes comes in on Day four or five with these amazingly insightful posts that are completely right and bang on. Handing out for a day or two at teh bginning is not unusual for him

Who else has had votes, let me see. Mr. Wednesday had one yesterday. I've never been able to get a good read on him in tehpast when I played with him, he was still in the new stage of a player. Who knows what he is like now, but I am still unable to figure him out one wayu or the other,

I'm comfortabel with cronin and pass. I wouldn;t say that I trust them per se, but I'm looking elsewhere,

oliegirl hasn;t sturk me as unusal, bu tshe hasn't really dfistinguhsied herself iether.

Saem with Schmidity, but i feel he is playing his normal game, and I;m not sure if I respect that he didn;t vote back yesterday or fear it.

PurdueBrad - no clue. Most UTR player around I beleive. If he;s a demon we're in trouble.

I suspect, like most of you, that N_C has ulterior motives, but right now, I have more serious concerns. However, I remember a game long ago when I had other concerns and arguably lost us the game and won it for Lathum who was neutral when I killed the last necromancer as the elder guard. My eye is on him, but with trepedation.

Those are my thougghts ont h peops. Obviously, path is clean.

So, where to vote? Poeple who have done things in the thraed that I question are Schmidity, whose action io am unsure of, Lathum, and AlanT. UTR players like CR, PurdueBrad and saldana at times are suspect. Also, vocally active players who don;t do much, lik eoliegirl, tweak my wolfdar a little biut. I can;t ge a read on MrW, so there is that too. N_C scres me based ont eh rules, but not how hes played it here.

In other words, I am not sure of most of you!

Who to vote for? For now, I'm sticking with one of the three that has taken an action I qustion: AlanT, Schmidity, and Lathum. Of those three, I can dismess Schmidity because his action might also be really good, in addition to being bad.

So I'ml leaning towards LOathum and AlanT. Both have admitted they like me in the thread today, but I can;t lee that stop me.

Lathum gets a pass, for now, because he brought us the Cultist yesterday.

Therefore

VOTE ALANT

Please note that I'd be comfortable voting for most of you, so if actiosn change, yadda yadda, happy to change my vote, yadda yadda.



WHo to vote for? Well,

I don't mind Lathum's plan that much, but I question the judgement of those who are pushing the direction of it. For days I have tried to push people to get to the bottom of the Chief Rum - Anxiety thing (as well as giving us more information about both Path and Cronin. I would still be pushing for Cronin because of his defense of Render, but for the time being will assume that A) Demons don't know the cultist identity and B) Anxiety is indeed good as I've started figuring this morning. Because of that, we really need to see what Chief Rum's allegiance is to help lock that CoT in. I still don't feel as confident as others do about it.

I've waited as long as I could for the "plan" to come forth, but lack of discussion and movement and goof faith actions leave me believing that it will not happen. We've already been told that Neon won't be following the plan, and I am guessing there will be others. The plan doesn't work when everyone isn't on board. So if people won't join me in going after Path, Cronin or Anxiety, perhaps they will follow me in the opposite direction instead. One way or another we need to figure out which members of this block are on which side.

Vote Chief Rum
Vote Chief Rum


Killing me will waste a day for a village, and personally, be quite disappointing for me, as I am past the two job days and can finally fully participate. That said, if you really feel I must die to prove your theory wrong, then I guess lynch away. I won't go quietly, but I also know I have no powers or abilities whatsoever. I have nothing to contribute to the village except whatever I bring to the table myself. So killing me costs the village nothing but a day (which has value, but if Alan is going to lead the kill parade, you might as well find out he's wrong now).

Chief Rum 10-17-2007 07:19 PM

VOTE ALANT

VOTE ALANT


That's two votes. This is just self-preservation. I actually don't think Alan or saldana are demons, but they are the only ones I can vote for to give myself a chance.

Alan has done this before. I know path sees it. He mentioned himself Alan's propensity for the conspiracy theory. Sometimes a vote is just a vote. Alan himself pointed out on Day Two how well known my schedule is on Monday. And I reiterated that myself when making my vote late Sunday night--I would not be around Monday, so I had to vote. I made the mistake of not noting the possibility of avoiding voting for a player at all, a mistake I already owned up to. But my vote on Abe was nothing more than it seems to be--a welcome back pat on the back for a long time player that is just a pointless random Day One vote (as is common on Day One).

It certainly isn't some indication I know something or that I was taking a firm stance on Anxiety. The entire basis for Alan's theory/hunch is convoluted and an extreme reach. I am not Gabriel or Lucifer. Whoever they are, they are both certainly laughing at you all right now. Or for sure, Lucifer is. Gabriel is probably deciding whether he should try to save me or not.

My whole point was to only use a single vote so we can dedicate the rest of our actions on the cathedral.

Now thanks to AlanT we will be costing ourselves 5 actions, Alant's 2 votes plus 3 more to counter them.

So forget my idea, we can just continue to stay disorganized and run around like chickens with our heads cut off.


FWIW, I would have followed your plan if I wasn't forced to defend myself.

Thanks! Glad someone else noticed that. Nothing made me laugh more reading this thread than cronin's "I have no read on Chief" comment. He's been gunning me almost from the word go.

If I weren't trying to save myself or locked into a plan like Lathum's proposal, I would have placed both of my votes on cronin. In fact, that's exactly what I would have done this morning before I left for work, except I held off, not wanting to commit to voting as opposed to building the cathedral.

As pointed out before, I did not vote for you twice on day 1. And I still have no read on you. I simply think that, of the players with votes, you are least likely to be a villager.

You may be wrong about the vote number, but you're not wrong that he has been going after me from the start. And it was a little more obvious in the reading than a "coin flip between Alan and Chief", like he makes it out to be.

My comment was about you coming after me, not about the votes. That's on Pass.

And if "no read" means coming after me the way you have, you must think everyone else in the game is good.

Neon_Chaos 10-17-2007 07:32 PM

I do not like how things are brewing... not one bit. I feel that we are being manipulated into a situation to vote for two innocents?

I find it quite puzzling that the good Ser Knight devised a plan, that quite a few followed, and then retracted, voting for the Friar, who was a crucial part in vanquishing the evil Musician. Perhaps he hath been able to do his part... taking away crucial votes that might have been important?

I noticed who you voted for on Day One. I notice who you're voting for now. I notice you feel compelled to mention you're "okay with a Chief Rum lynch" in two separate posts.

And you know I can't point out a demon. I have no powers whatsoever. Except perhaps I'll pray to God to exact vengeance on your ill-advised and perhaps deceitful strategy after I am gone. Alas, I am but a novice, so not too good yet at turning the other cheek.

I saw the context. It makes no difference--point is, it's too much. For a guy with "no read", you are coming after me phenomenally hard, and you're going to look awful when I come up a villager. I really hope the village lynches you tomorrow after I turn up good.
