I think people just keep mis-using the word replenish (though Alan was using it correctly the first time). I think King means "if the site still has gold left." Might be worth it to throw in a conditional set of orders if you find one of those 'gold mines:' AP1-6: Dig -- if return 0 gold at any point, move XX-XX, Dig. It would suck to waste all your APs digging on a site that is spent, and Barkeep already confirmed for me that conditional orders are allowed. At this point, the only thing that is keeping my vote from Blade is the fact that I'm still undecided as to whether it's better to have RA in or out of jail.

The problem is , with the way Blade is playing he is leaving it up to us to "trust him" or not without any proof or any future plan of proof. Blade has already lied to us twice this game (1 time about dig amounts and 1 time saying he was a standard treasure hunter when he now is saying he isnt), and it isnt even past evening 1 yet. My biggest issue right now is that I don't trust anyone at this point. I don't know if I believe Raiders & Penny right now, but Penny has given aparently truthful answers the two times I sent questions his way.. I think for now I'm going to UNVOTE Raiders Army VOTE Blade Keep in mind, we aren't killing you or removing you from the game, but maybe some jail time will help you think about things |

Alan, I don't have a trusted group. I just have a list that I trust did not kill SnDvls last night.
And as far as creating some type of linkage between you and Blade, I wanted to put that out there as a reminder that you had brought up the idea of the square replentishing, which I had not seen anywhere else. Nor do I see it in the square you are listing. When stories start to spin beyond my understanding of the facts, that sends up a red flag. The fact that you triggered a red flag while providing a story for Blade is where I drew the linkage. This doesn't mean that there really is any reason for the linkage, but that is what I saw at the time. And that I will probably be a little more sensitive going forward to play where the two of you seem to align, just as I would with Penny and Raiders. |

Well, I have to get ready for work -- I'm comfortable with jailing either Blade or RA, and as it seems that those are the two that are under the gun right now (does anyone have an updated vote tally? I'm running out of time, or I'd do it), I'm ok with leaving my vote on RA and bowing out.
Good luck tonight guys.

Ummm.... Being an athlete doesn't explain what you did yesterday. If you had 5 AP, you were lying about 2 actions that are unnaccounted for in your earlier post. But if you're the athlete, you actually have 3 unnaccounted for actions, so it just makes your lie bigger. Vote Blade6119. |

My thoughts:
Raiders Army, pennywisesb are gold in my mind. I don't get what all RA is saying, but the PM verification seals it for me. I think it's way too early for a wolf/pirate/whatever to vouch for another. It's a setup for failure if that's the case. Saldana is on my good side, as are the others such as kwhit et al. that vouched for each other. I'm trying not to hold silence against anyone. The rules of the game are definitely restraining me. I still don't feel I have a good foothold on what I'm doing. While my obligatory vote for Schmidty stands, I do think Blade is hiding something. I try not to factor previous games into the mix, though I do factor in experience in these games. Blade took a role that was designed to be independent and went completely into left field with it in the last game. I have no idea what he's up to, but it seems to me every time he does this kind of stuff (being shady, shifty, whatever), he's been a villager (or whatever title we have at the time). Last game he wasn't even a survivor and still felt compelled to help them.

Well the reason this seems puzzling to me is... he only dug once apparently, he didn't travel far, yet now claims to be able to move faster/further than the rest of us. So now its not 2 movement AP that are uncounted for, but instead its 3? I think in some ways, that just makes it worse. |

I'm pretty sure Blade screwed up again. He posted the athlete reveal in order to explain something that we didn't even know about!! We had no idea that he could move an extra space or get an extra AP, but he came out with a reveal that explains it - but doesn't explain what he did in the 2 APs that he lied about before. I'm almost positive he's a pirate at this point. |

As far as prison goes, let's just say we don't lock up a pirate. It will cost us 11 gp to find out his role and free him. Seems like a steep cost and right now are two main supects are players who supposedly have roles on our side. So not only will we not be locking up a pirate today, but we will be losing 10% of what we need to win. I'm leaning more and more to having a few people watch and while the rest dig. The trick is how to do this effectively and I think I already mentioned how to do this.

Your not being vouched for somewhere else is what put you on my initial target list of 6-8 people. Your story about how you used your turns and then coming out later as being found out in a lie convinced me it was enough to move a vote to you from Raiders. Your coming out of a role after saying you wern't going to role reveal this early didn't help me any. Coming out with a role that really doesn't tell me what you did makes it worse.. but its the 2 (or now 3) uncounted for APs that convince me you are the right vote for today. |

VOTE BLADE6119
I think that he is a more likely wolf than Raiders. I would expect that we will spend the 4 GP to verify his role. Also, just putting out a friendly reminder for people to put money into the bank and create wills in the event of something happening this evening. I don't want the pirates picking up on a villager who has found a good spot (have a couple of ideas on this already, but I don't see a reason to expand on this) contribute too much to the pirate fund. |

I'm tossing ideas in my head at what the most effective method of handling this is.. I think the role reveals are more important to me than the bailing out. Finding out if someone lied or not about their role helps create trust circles which can also sometimes clear or incriminate others. it can also help us decide who is best to approach about developing a monopoly. Just because we find out that we mistakenly jailed a fellow miner, does not mean they have to be bailed out that very turn if for some reason we can't/do not want. |

One possible movement possibility would be: AP1: Watch Sndvls (according to rules you auto-follow them?) moves him from D4 -> C5 AP2: Watch Sndvls again, moves him from C5-> B6 AP3: kill action AP4: move B6 -> C5 AP5: Dig. If he does have fleet of foot, he could also do a hide between AP3 and AP4. I think Blade had the opportunity to do the crime, and has some evidence against him. Enough for a warrant at least. |

Typical. We vote for you, so that means we're pirates, even though it's you who are lying and STILL not coming clean with us as to what the hell was going on. Blade, I respect your ability in these games and have learned a lot from you in the short time I've been playing, but it comes down to this -- if you're going to be evasive and not help the treasure hunters, you're too damn good at this to leave out of jail.

Move (1)
Move (2) Hide (3) Kill (4) Dig (5) But this argument does not make Blade the pirate killer. I don't understand Blade right now, but I want him on my side. Since he is behaving erratic (even by Blade standards) I think we jail him and then pay for the reveal. As mentioned earlier, we can then determine the relative value of paying for his return to the fold. To the best of our knowledge, men do not die in jail. So his morbid messages about sending post-game PMs to Raiders don't wash with me either. Blade is always suspicious of me - every game - so telling people to watch me closely doesn't bother me in the least. If you are a treasure hunter please watch me dig. If you are a pirate please watch me hide. |
