Did I miss something? What is with the puff? Makes me think of the three little pigs and the wolf, "I'll huff and puff and blow your house down."

[PurdueBrad]

Or maybe YOU are the herbalist, puffing on the wacky tobaccy.

[claphamsa]

[RendeR]

Crap, thats only 5-4, someone on the no lynch or throw away votes move to jackal , lets beat the bushes a bit.

[Passacaglia]

Here's what I have, correct me if I'm wrong:

I've met that band, and you're not in it.

Remember the pawns though...

Also, if there is no move, does that mean we take both as villagers? We got Pass through three of these votes last game as a wolf w/o trying to save him, so I'm not sure this tells us much.

[Passacaglia]

nm, that's based on old stuff.

[jeheinz72]

And Lathum moved to Cronin

[jeheinz72]

KWhit (5) - ntndeacon (226), st.cronin (273), Narcizo (467), jeheinz72 (492), claphamsa (495)

The Jackal (4) - hoopsguy (290), oliegirl (374), KWhit (405), RendeR (512)

hoopsguy (2) - mccollins (177), Sonic Youth (286)

Barkeep49 (1) - Chief Rum (237)
RendeR (1) - Anxiety (238)
Qwikshot (1) - Barkeep49 (314)

[RendeR]

Prawns? Prawns is good eatin.....err..wait you said pawns..nevermind...

[Barkeep49]

How does a tie with No Lynch work? Is No Lynch removed from the game?

[KWhit]

This is f'in ridiculous.

I was wondering that myself, though the only person I'd vote for right now is oliegirl and that doesn't seem to be viable either.

From the rules (but I added some bold):

You may vote "No Lynch" any day, and if that option has more votes than any other option, no pieces will be removed from the game.

[path12]

You and your rules.

[Barkeep49]

[KWhit]

Gonna have to go self preservation, I guess.

[Barkeep49]

Unvote Qwikshot

[Barkeep49]

Vote KWhit

[KWhit]

Anyone want to move their vote. I feel completely railroaded here as all I did was try to work out a strategy and then vote where it made sense. And somehow that is suspicious?

[KWhit]

Grrrrrrr.

[Barkeep49]

KWhit, I don't think you're suspicious at this point, but the math on why lynching is good has won me over.

[KWhit]

Anyone?

[KWhit]

Unvote The Jackal
Vote Hoopsguy

[Barkeep49]

I also wouldn't have changed my vote had KWhit not started talking about self preservation (which is what I'd do in his shoes). So I will take no acclaim if KWhit is a wolf.

[Abe Sargent]

Dropped a laptop on my big toe, right foot and was taking care of that instead of voting. Blast.

I guess that's all there is. If the "No Lynch" option does not have more votes than any other option, nothing happens regarding it. A tie between No Lynch and another option means that No Lynch does not have more votes.

[KWhit]

I never know when to make deadline votes. Do votes recorded at 3:00 count?

I played it safe and voted at 2:59 in this case, but I'm never sure (because I hardly EVER make deadline votes like that).

[Passacaglia]

I forgot to say something about that in the rules. Since most GMs lately have been allowing 3:00 deadlines, I will too.

By the way, deadline.

Basically a tie between No Lynch and a Player means the Player dies, is what you're saying.

[st.cronin]

I would think a vote with the same timestamp as the deadline would count.

[Passacaglia]

Anyone have any corrections?

[hoopsguy]

I would assume they do - I'm not sure how changing to me is "self preservation" but maybe I'll find out when Pass is done with his write-up.

I hope it isn't what I think it is, as that would potentially be bad for the villagers on a couple of different levels.

Right.

[KWhit]

Don't know if I'm dead or not, but I really do believe that it's more important to play this like chess than like ww. Take a look at the winning conditions. Based on them, I think the Bishop is much more important than the Knight. We need to find out who is on the other team (black v white) much more than we need to find out who the wolves are (that's important too of course).

I'm not a wolf and would welcome a scan if I'm alive.

Wasn't really sure how to play this. My guiding principles in situations such as these is "since I KNOW I'm not a wolf, I have to do anything I can to stay alive."

[hoopsguy]

Coming back to a couple of questions that were asked about my reveal:

1.) If I was lying about my role, the person I'm swapping PMs would have come after me - I can't envision a scenario where that isn't the case. Fake reveals are going to be tough this game as long as your partner is alive.
2.) I believe they have a slightly elevated trust of me based on the tone of our conversations - I felt like we had a pretty good exchange of information. All things being equal, I would have been pretty unlikely to vote for him today and I think that was reciprocated.
