Path (1)-- ntndeacon (336)
st.cronin (1)-- DaddyTorgo (162)

Did not vote-- Celeval, Gonzo

I believe this is correct. ntndeacon is the choice. I will do the writeup.

Here are the final votes for yesterday - interesting that NTN didn't move his vote to try and let someone help him out at the end of the day.

Yeah, I thought that was odd, too. I think he was just in a time crunch?

OK, here are my initial assumptions:
- Gonzo would have gotten a vote in if he were a wolf. Willing to come back to this one tomorrow, but for today I'll argue that wolves get their votes in.
- The wolves would not have voted together unless Barkeep was a wolf.

So the easiest one to isolate with those assumptions is the Torgo vote for Cronin - it is the only one cast by someone still alive that isn't on BK/NTN.

Next question - would Torgo go on a crusade against a player on Day 1 as a wolf? What does it get him? A lot of attention if we follow his lead at some point.

For now, I'll make that Assumption #3 on the day - DaddyTorgo is not a wolf. Might not be a correct assumption, but I'll advance with it for now unless someone has compelling info to the contrary.

So once I get to that point, I'm left with the idea that there is one wolf voting for Barkeep and one voting for NTN. This, of course, assumes that we only have two wolves. Is that 100% spelled out in the rules? I know there are at least two wolves, but going from memory I don't recall seeing that there are only two wolves.

ntndeacon (6)-- KWhit (212), Path12 (278), st.cronin (303), Barkeep49 (309), Lathum (310), hoopsguy (315)

Barkeep (4)-- Jonathan Ezarik (152), Passacaglia (283), PurdueBrad (291), MikeVic (302)


Math would suggest that I should go for the 1 in 4 shot on Barkeep vs the 1 in 6 shot on NTN. But I know I'm not a wolf, so it is only a 1 in 5 shot on NTN. And, if Barkeep is a wolf then there are almost certainly two wolves in this group. I think this possibility is enough for me to pursue the 20% shot instead of the 25% shot - there is a reasonable chance that the 20% is actually a 40%.

I have to make a possible final vote too cause I don't know if I'll be back by lynch or not either.

And I just don't have a clue who to vote for.

Hey guys, I've read through the last few pages several times and am, like yesterday, torn with how to vote. Right now, based on the give and take that Cronin put out there, I'm leaning towards a vote that way. I've got softball playoffs tonight, so I may not make it back for the deadline. Right now:

I vote Cronin

Nothing today, but yesterday I was going on NTN not being a wolf. And both you and path voted for him before anyone else, so it got me being suspicious. That's all I have though.

By the way, please feel free to interrupt my stream-of-consciousness voting thoughts

ntndeacon (6)-- KWhit (212), Path12 (278), st.cronin (303), Barkeep49 (309), Lathum (310), hoopsguy (315)


The Barkeep vote here can easily be argued as self-defense. Other votes here were positioned as votes to help keep me around. Time to go pull posts on these to see what people said.

KWhit - voted based on low activity (although right in line with usual NTN play) and not picking a side in BK/Hoops argument

Path - no reason given in voting post, but post #286 explains that he wanted to help take heat off of me

Cronin - moves vote, says he believes we will benefit from having both BK and me around. BK had four votes at that point, this now brought it to 4-3 between BK and NTN.

Barkeep - self-defense, NTN is dangerous under-the-radar player

Lathum - "lets keep it close", post comes in at exact same time as BK's. Sounds like he wanted to force the tie here with lots of time remaining.

Hoops - out for duration, has to get vote in now, want to put it on one of leaders to not waste vote. Trusts BK more.

Heh. If everybody who had a screw-up vote on day 1 was a wolf, there'd be no villagers for them to eat.

The most interesting thing to me was that ntn didn't vote for me to save himself. I'm not sure we're going to learn a whole lot about the day's lynch at this point in the game. In fact in general I think voting patterns are normally useless until we have caught a wolf.

sweet jesus that's some beautiful analysis hoops.

i am indeed a villager. like we were discussing...just had a gut feeling on cronin.

i still have my gut feeling on cronin, but am willing to go elsewhere if there's no support for it, if it is necessary or shows something good via your analysis hoops

DOLA -- I will also be making a tentative vote. I should be home before deadline, but if the juveniles of my city have been particularly unruly it's possible I'd be home too late.

Highest reward play, as I see it, is to vote for Barkeep here. That way we learn if there is any real value to extract from votes yesterday. People have commented that there was a surge towards NTN, which is often associated with wolf movement. And putting an early vote on me isn't the dumbest idea, as I'll usually talk enough to give you a reason to move it later.

Only problem with this is that it contradicts the play I made yesterday, where I stated that I edged towards trust on BK based on his unconventional play. Different day, different info to evaluate, all that good stuff, but I still struggle internally with pulling a 180 degree turn.

Barkeep, if voting records have minimal worth, I'm willing to listen to other avenues to pursue to guide the vote here.

The only vote I can make right now would be cronin, and that's because he voted for me and I know I'm not a wolf. But of course that's easy to see through my eyes. Other than that, I don't know who else to vote for right now.

I think I'm leaning toward voting Path or st.cronin as they were the 1st two to follow me onto ntndeacon, and I agree that one out of the ntndeacon voters is likely a wolf.

Of course voting for path would possibly be just throwing my vote away (it would be vote #1 on him) and voting for st.cronin puts him way ahead, and I think it's better for us if we keep the vote close until the end.

KWhit, I don't think it would be a throw-away, as Cronin is the only person with multiple votes. People are likely to consolidate around a second candidate rather than making this a Cronin runaway.

Votes as of Post #525:
Cronin - Torgo (401), Lathum (456), Purdue (511)
MikeVic - Cronin (377)
Torgo - Path (426)
JE - Pass (452)

Makes sense. I'm going with path based on my earlier stated reasons. I will likely be back before lynch, but may not, so this might be final.

Let's just play it out. I will show up as a villager, so you learn that it was another typical day 1 villager vs villager situation. Obviously there is value if I'm a wolf, but I'm not so there's not.

Ok, I'm going to go ahead and vote. I don't really like anyone, but the closest to anything at the moment is Mike Vic and his confidence, as has been shown, in multiple people, at least two of whom (me and ntn), I know to be villagers. So much confidence in villagers on Day 1 suggests to me it could be a rookie mistake.

Vote MikeVic

I don't get where you guys are getting the impression that I had so much confidence in who the villagers are? To help with day one voting, I had to justify my votes. That's all it was. Today I still trust hoops as a villager because he's helped so much.

i think the problem people are having, and one that you will come to appreciate is that you are overstating your degree of trust.

ie...you say "i trust hoops is a villager" when you mean "he's slightly more likely to be a villager than a wolf"

the word "trust" in a WW game is very heavy. as are all declarative statements "i know" etc.

Well, I'm going to be away from a computer for a couple hours. But I'll be back before the 10EST deadline to vote. Right now it would go to cronin, not just out of self-preservation, but because he voted for me... and I know I'm not a wolf.

This is true. But I can't write Chief Rum's PMs for him to say that I help, which ought to be worth something at this point.

Lathum, are you convinced that both Cronin and Torgo are wolves? I understand your premise, but if you are convinced that Torgo is bad does it automatically follow that Cronin is bad? I'm wondering why you are choosing this order for your votes when you seem very convinced that Torgo is a wolf based on your posts over the last couple of hours.

It would be impossible for me to be convinced of anything at this point.

Based on his recent posts I am suspiscous of DT however at this point it may be a wasted vote.
