Unfortunately I have class before the meeting and will have to leave my vote before hand. I might be able to get on during class as this is the only one I don't mind using my laptop during (since I actually don't learn anything).

November 8, 1939: Georg Elser, a German citizen who despised the freedom restrictions which were placed upon the workers, poor working conditions and low wages.
Elser was a skilled carpenter and had previously worked in a watch/clock factory. Combining these two skills Elser crafted a time bomb in a plan to assassinate Hitler. Hitler was due to give a speach in Burberbraukeller, a beer hall in Munch. Elser began preparing months in advance as he hollowed out a wodden pillar to house the bomb near where Hitler should be standing to give the speach. He packed the bomb in days in advance, set it to go off at 9:20 PM the evening of the speach as Hitler was to begin at 9:00. He crafted the device in a manner to deaden the sound of the ticking timer. Many consider this to have been the most carefully planned attempt of any of the assassination attempts. The work that went into creating the bomb, the precision of the timer, creating the space inthe pillar for the bomb and the carpentery that went into covering it up were all carried out in a precise and skillful manner. Hitler changed his plans at the last minute due to bad weather at the airport and instead spoke earlier than expected so that he could take a tain bak to Berlin that night instead of his usual plane. He concluded his speach at 9:07, just 13 minutes before the bomb went off. The bomb killed 8 people and wounded 60 others. Research shows that if Hitler had been standing in the location where he was giving the speach there is almost no chance that he would have survived the blast and history would have been drastically altered. |

Not really wanting to vote for the folks up on the block, so I'm holding my vote until after the meeting. Just an FYI as for why I haven't voted someone yet.

As the time for the meeting nears Hitler sends for everyone early. The meetnig will begin ahead of schedule. He calls everyone into the meeting room.
Danny Telle GoldenEagle JAG J23 Kwhit PurdueBrad Enter the room and the meeting begins (Hitler may or may not be in the list). "Our topic today is the defense of our homeland." Hitler begins, "We must prepare against a potential invasion from the allies. There are many dangers which we face. We must now not only defeat an enemy that is inferior to us but has become like an annoying fly that won't go away until you crush it but we now have a traitor in our midst." "What we need is a strong defense along the coast, one which will slow them and throw them back into the sea." One voice offers. "No, we let them land, squash them on the beach and they will not return." The meeting has several tense moments of debate as it become clear that some of the people in the meeting are not quite suited for discussing matters of defense but they begin to take a minor role and allow those who have the ability to take the lead. Overall the meeting goes over well. Hitler will gain an additional order tonight, the details will be known only by him. |

From the write-up (assuming it wasn't just flavor), it sounds like there was a conspirator in the meeting, but overall the outcome favored us so that's good.

Interesting meeting. I wish those of us outside of the meeting had more of an idea of what just happened. Hopefully more will become apparent soon.
In any case, it looks like I am going to be out for the night. As I am one of those under serious consideration, I will make my last stance and case, and leave it to the rest of you. This is re-stating, but I'll say it again: I am just a vanilla Nazi. So killing me hoping to find a wolf will gain nothing. That said, some feel they will learn something from my death, so if I die, you will lose only a vanilla Nazi. I know already, however, that yesterday's late push on me only created a villager vs villager vote battle, so whatever information you're seeking, you're not going to get it from lynching me. I didn't have much of a reason besides a Day One reason for voting for Darth yesterday. As usual, there wasn't much to go on. He has since acted somewhat oddly at times, and now I feel better about that vote. That said, at the time, Danny made a good and fair case for the possibility LSG was a wolf, and so I switched. It was a reasonable guess, one Danny bet his game action on. I don't feel bad about switching to LSG (unless DV is a wolf, of course). My last switch to DT was pure self-preservation. Since I know last night was villager vs villager, I can't really offer any hypotheses for the run on me. Villagers would have known nothing (and two known villagers were involved), and conspirators would have had no reason to push me up into contention. So I would look at early voters for DT and (when you see I am speaking the truth) myself for your conspirators. In the unlikely event, you all choose DV over me, I will help my own cause. Pure self-preservation again, although I do suspect DV is a conspirator. VOTE DARTH VILIUS Good luck, and hopefully I will be alive after the deadline.

The rational ones want to lynch me for the information they think it will provide them for yesterday's vote. Of course, if it turns out I am a loyal Nazi, they really gain nothing (but at least it's an understandable reason). Some others have drummed up "he's wolfish" reasons, trying to make out the LSG switch or the move away from DV as being wolf moves, while others have just dropped little to no thought into their vote, copycatting previous votes (the equivalent of "ditto"). That's prime wolf move, BTW, I would look at that down the road. The LSG switch had some logical sense to it, enough for a known villager to make a bold gut call. It would seem to disingenious to call it "wolfish" now. Misguided, yes. Wolfish? That's a reach. And a move away from DV makes no sense as a wolf move for me, because I was the one who put him in danger earlier, getting him within one of DT at that time, and DV was still the lead "second" voter when I switched to LSG. If I am a wolf and DV is a wolf, why would I have put him in danger in the first place? If I am a wolf and DV is not a wolf, why would I bother to call attention to myself by switching to LSG? Doesn't make sense as a "wolfish" move. But, hey, people will believe what they want to. Heck, even Danny voted for me, and I made the same move he did.

That's what I'm wondering, because I can't decide who to vote for. I have a gut-feeling person, but I can't vote them because it would be pointless because of the run-off between CR and Darth.

All right, now I really have to go. See y'all later.
P.S. In case I am lynched, EagleFan love the assassination history stuff. Reminds me of Abe's mine union game, where he did the same thing (and that was also well done and interesting). Keep it up.

Alright, my woman is here, and I want to go and give her my time, so no more WW for now.
Looks like there is a two-way going on, and CR doesn;t get my vote from his votes yesterday, that's silly. So DV, sorry, but it looks like I'ma voting your way. Vote Darth V

I'm going to keep it interesting. Again, I think both of these are good candidates. I hope one or both are conspirators, but at least it should tell us some things going forwards.

Guess I'll make it even closer, because I don't feel good about voting for either player. I don't want to see a run-away on either side.

Its a defense tactic. If I am always looking suspicious, the wolves will leave me alive because they know I could be up for a lynch. So far, I have managed to talk myself out of every lynch since I started playing again. I consider it a skill that benefits the village. Plus it is fun and makes the game more interesting if I am involved. I will find myself bored and not paying attention if I am not creating a little controversy. It is probably more of an attention whore then wanting to be in the spotlight.

We have a situation within the game and to be honest I don't know how to handle it at the moment.
A conspirator replied to another in a PM and accidentally included another player in the PM instead of me. I want this to be known now as I really am at a loss at the moment for how to handle this one. Suggestions? If we only consistantly had that Reply All button still... |

Hmm, I haven't seen that happen before. Anybody have any precedents? Perhaps have that be the conversion if there hasn't been one, remove the other conversion mechanic from the game, and then punish the wolves somehow? Lose a night kill or something? What a mess.

That's tough from a GM standpoint. I don't really know what to suggest. You should ask the conspirators in general what they want to do, but it may have to include killing off both parties.

That's a fair idea Autumn, making that the convert, and giving the original convert some different sort of powers.

I agree with what was said above. Make the accidentally included villager a convert, give the current player that could be converted a power (another bg, duke, or seer I guess) and go from there. Tough one.

Anyway, the meeting looked like a success. So it seems like maybe there was just one conspirator, and they need at least two to mess things up? Or else, as posited before, they may have the choice of expending the energy to sabotage things, like in the Marvel game, and chose not to.
I like having this close runoff at least. Hopefully we'll get all the votes in this time and figure something out. |

Another idea which as come up is giving the player that received the PM the role of the person who sent it and then killing off the sender. This would potentially effect the fewest number of people/roles. The conspiracy would then have no action tonight and the bonus action for tonight will carry over to night 3.
