I used that phrase because I believed (possibly incorrectly) that if there was a definite lie in the sentence then it'd flag as 'false' rather than unknown ... but I probably wouldn't know whether it was all false or not.

Thats how programming works anyway (ie. if( angry && a_pillock ) returns a fail if any of them aren't true).

(upon reflection possibly not the brightest presumption but old habits die hard)

I like how you claim you got "I can't determine whether the statement is true or not" yet the rules clearly state that isn't an option for an answer.

Yes it does - 'Unknown' ... any reason you're still badgering me? ... thought you'd have got the cleared PM back by now ... or don't you have the empath ability?

Chubby's right that there are only three options. Something else interesting though, a person has a 50% chance to keep the empath power when converted to spawn.

This makes sense too actually. Eh, I still don't know about both of you so I will probably not vote for either of you.

Yeah - between work and trying to stay caught up with posts, I can't go back through and get an accurate post count...thanks though.

The whole MV/Chubby thing seems odd, but I don't know who to trust. Given that MV has offered to sacrifice himself, and I don't think the suspicion on Telle is enough to lynch her yet...

VOTE MARC VAUGHAN

And with this post we now have more then the draft thread with no one dead

Having not played the other Spawn games, is this common to not have any deaths at this point? I guess I've been taking it for granted that we haven't lost anybody.

Vote Marc Vaughan

(mainly because I think it'll show Chubby to be guilty as heck if I go and I don't think there's enough evidence on Telle to convict her ...)

Chubby any word on your 'scan' yet?

Methinks Chubby realises he's cornered - if he says I'm guilty then he'll be shown to have lied very quickly once I'm lynched ... if he says I'm not guilty than personally I'm not convinced he's an empath still (and yes I realise that means I'm 'not' cleared in that case - but its how I feel).

miracle worker

Don't self vote, ugg

10 pages to catch up on, jeez. I'm about to head to my poker game so I'm going to skim and pick someone to heal, then deal with catching up on the meat of the posts later tonight.

not yet

not really cornered at all. I simply haven't heard back from barkeep. Kinda funny how you want to read into it tho

barkeep isnt here

Says the person who's been consistently telling the world I should be burned at the stake? ... how exactly am I meant to take that when I know I'm innocent?

VOTE NO LYNCH

I will be around to possibly change this, but I can't see any cut and dry reasons to lynch anyone right now.

Now I have a slight dilemma. Path, chubby, and MV are wounded - path should presumably heal on his own tonight, and the other two are under heat. Hmm.

crap, gotta run, bbl.

wow....another 15 pages to sift through...

Today was a crazy day.

We are currently the 13th longest thread in Werewolf history here.

Fair warning, Alan. I submitted an order to to put you, hoops, path, and KWhit in there. Day 1 has taught me that you can override what I've done (though I don't really see where in the rules it says you can do that), so I figured I'd let you know. My reasoning is to keep one COT intact, in case the RendeR/Schmidty COT falls through somehow.

VOTE NO LYNCH

I'm out, possibly until after deadline.

I really dont know how to vote here. Marc Vaughn lying about being an empath? Everybody following hoops blindly to hang Telle?

I think I am giong to wait till BK comes back with Chubby's statement to vote

Olie announces that she, Mrs. Schmidty, and Schmidty get phasers tonight.

Who's following him blindly?

Sorry, the correct answer is to say, "holy shit, x pages since I checked the thread last!?!" Nice try.

I'm holding off from voting for a bit, but as of now Telle is my vote. I think it's actually the best case that's been made yet -- hoops is good, he followed her checking in different places, and she's been outside twice thus far.

LOLOL

Clicking refresh at work, it's a bit of a disappointment when there are only *5* new posts from the time I finished the last batch.

Do you mind giving me a summary of what happened? I want to be able to make a decision about a vote before deadline and I know I won't be able to gleam as much info as I would like by speed reading! :)

Still catching up though too, I'm on page 39 right now I think!

Pass is undetered by today's action. He informs Alan, hoops, KWhit, and path that rather than sleep with the crew they will sleep in the brig.

Jackal also spends some time playing with healing himself.

There are a few people who are voting for Telle when I dont see the argument.

If she turns up bad I will apologize profusely to hoops, but right now i just dont see how people can vote for her without more to go on.

MV and I both need to be scanned.

It came back true which doesn't clear MV but it does appear that we have two empaths.

Unvote Marc Vaughan
Vote Telle

if for no other reason than everyone else seems to be on to her.

BK... we could use a vote count down here when you get a chance

I said my thoughts on this before, but I think all of you should do the engines.. better overdo it than not get it done. your plan risks Spawns pulling out alot of stops such as killing one of the engine crew while another one being a spawn faking their work...

Scratch that - seen your post so you got the PM back (or are pretending you did ... one or tother).

Now I've been cleared I'll unvote myself

unvote Marc Vaughan
vote No Vote

oooooooooooh marc edited.... I am telling

You probably missed where we talked about this before, but Hoops as a security person needs to be out and about at night

Do we think there are two empaths now?

I will tally up votes now.

holy shit people...i didnt get a chance to check the thread since i left for work this morning, other than the 2 minutes i was in this afternoon (thanks for helping alan and kwhit)...we really need to kill someone just to reduce the number of freaking posts!!!

i wish i had been around during the whole "there cant be more than one person with the same role" argument...iirc, there were multiple people with the same role in each of the previous games...we just wasted two empath scans for no reason, IMO

should i guard the slave pens again tonight even though sec. hq is online?

Up to you. We're short on beds and such so even if you don't guard them there is a chance you won't get a bed anyways.

Well I have indicated I am and Chubby has verified that.

So we've either got two empaths or two people pretending to be empaths or one empath ... take your pick ;)

(I 'know' I'm one but have my doubts about Chubby - he seemed a bit too insistent on lynching me and was apparently 100% certain I couldn't be an empath - what was that based on by the way Chubby?)

I just find it difficult to believe that BK would have 2 empaths plus a scanner PLUS other people be able to be made scanners.
