I had to read that about 3 times to completely follow that. God I need more coffee.

But I do see your point.

You mean straight forward discussion of your thought processes for all of your votes and revotes isn't exciting? I tend to think of RA's vote on me as retaliation for the first non football vote on him. I may be reading more into that that I should, but that was my thoughts there.

I think the timing of both your votes were weird. We were well past the 'just throw a vote on some random person' stage at that point.

I've got +1 here. The other thing I might ask about is the delay between J23's unvote and his eventual vote which came after deadline if I remember the order correctly.

Schmidty, need you to answer a quick question: Post 387, at 8 pm, Coffee Warlord unvotes and votes, 8 pm (two posts later) you call deadline, and then at 8 pm J23 votes. With the 8 pm deadline, did CoffeeWarlord's vote count? If so, then did J23's? OR is it actually an 8:01 deadline so J23 and CW both count. Just trying to establish what the timing restriction is.

Well I disagree with the RA vote. that was about lunchtime for that vote. Still plenty early then. and that was on at least someone who had a vote. Even if that vote was Football derived. As for the Kwhit vote. I can see that it looks random now. I just missed the post where the person who had earlier voted for him had changed their vote. So Kwhit seemed the best candidate that wasn't Abe or Danny. I think Telle only had one at that point as well, and I was trying to cut her a little slack.

Then he changes to PB to put him 2 votes ahead of Abe.

After the PB reveal I would have expected a wolf to move off PB at some point with the rest of the group. He does but then waits and puts his vote on KWhit and then later changes to Telle when she gets closer to Abe's total. It seemed like it could be a wolf who was unsure of where to go with his vote when he first moved off PB.

If Abe is good I think we should look at RA. He made votes that put him (Abe) in danger of being lynched (specifically 318). He then made an odd ntn vote (which seemed caused by ntn's KWhit vote). On the other side, if Abe is bad I will be moving RA up quite a bit in the trust list.

ntn and RA seem to have a weird link on day one. First ntn votes RA, then RA votes ntn. After a few changes ntn makes the KWhit vote and RA goes after ntn again.


As I think this through we may have another option for day 2. If everyone else gets the same read that I am getting (I may be way off) but I see the following possibilities:

1) Abe is a wolf. If so than we should feel pretty good about RA and should look at ntn.

2) Abe is not a wolf. We then need to look at the possibility of RA and ntn being wolves (trying the play of maing one look good f the other is caught).


Both possiblities seem to point to ntn. I wouldn't be against exploring the ntn angle to be honest. It may yield the highest percentage in return.


Just early reactions but wanted to open it up to discussion.

Catching up. I voted for ntn later in the day because he was in the thread and didn't feel good about voting for Telle since she wasn't going to be in the thread.

My seperation was going back and re-reading what had happened. I missed the deadline because I was tallying the votes (we had a lot of movement since the prior vote count). I believe I mentioned this when Schmidty asked for a vote count.

Also, I asked for the vote count at least once or twice leading up to it since I didn't really have a lot of time to commit to the game before deadline. When noone had given one and the deadline was looming, I tried to get it done myself, but just ran out of time.

I'm not sure what you mean about an "explanation of their votes were particularly exciting". Did it make sense or not?

I switched my vote because PB did his reveal as Shaggy and then vouched for Abe. That eliminated both of the options for that day. I had mentioned Telle as a possible candidate but didn't feel good about voting for her since she wasn't around to defend herself. For some reason, I must've triggered something in PB to vote for her and things went downhill from there. I had mentioned about voting for somebody who was in the thread (like ntn or you Coffee), and I believe somebody said they'd be willing to go in the ntn direction so I switched my vote. When it became apparent that ntn wasn't going to get votes and there was the question of Abe and/or PB being vulnerable, I switched to Telle.

All this being said, I still don't feel good about ntn and I'd be willing to look in that direction.

So what if he "vouched for Abe"? He doesn't know anything about him. I still find the movement away from Abe on day 1 very curious and I think it's foolish to consider that anyone could possibly know for sure that he was good. I'm more inclined to lean towards EF's view of him being the cunning.

PB cleared him on what he thought was a clue that Abe was a roled villager. Abe has since said it was not a clue, and that he is just a vanilla villager.

I don't think I'll vote for Abe, but wanted to make sure people are making the most informed vote they can.

Neither vote counted. Deadline is 9 pm EST, so no vote after 8:59 PM counts. Sorry for any confusion.

I'm fine with RA vs NTN, if I'm picking other candidates. The real question for me comes down to 'was Abe scanned last night?'

If so, the follow up question is 'how is that person playing it in the thread today?' I'm trying to figure out this latter part, while recognizing that it is far from a sure thing that the former happened. Heck, for all I know I was scanned last night and someone is keenly interested in seeing what I do since they know (well, almost given cunning) that I'm a villager.

Anyway, that is why I wanted to wait on acting today. I wanted to try and sniff out the seer.

If I thought that person was gunning for Abe, then I wanted to vote there and help him keep safe and sound as much as possible.

If I thought that person was not gunning for Abe, then I would want the showdown to involve two other people that don't include my perceived seer, Scooby, Shaggy, or me.

Who those two people are (as long as they are not one of the four listed above) is not hugely important; I don't feel like I have any kind of soul reads at the moment. But RA/NTN seems like an acceptable showdown if we are going to have a two man race.

If Abe is a wolf we already have the data about him in a 2-3 person race and it is high value ... we don't gain much today.

If Abe is a villager then we had all villagers in the race yesterday and there is not much to glean.

Therefore, I don't really want to see Abe in a runoff. Either we just lynch him or we look for a race between others today.

Translation: I thought the explanations both of you offered were kind of weak. At the point where you both voted, it was going Abe or Telle (or PB maybe). I take a little issue with throwing your vote away on a meaningless candidate, and don't feel it was adequately explained why you didn't choose a side. Right or wrong, I'd prefer people make their votes matter when possible.

Ah. Thanks for jogging the memory without me going back through the thread. I guess the question is that when PB found out he was wrong, why not go for Abe at that point? I mean, obviously if Abe were a wolf then he couldn't claim to be a role since the real role would discredit his claims. The best play then would be to claim to be a vanilla villager.

In that case I can understand wanting to lynch Abe or not.

When are you talking about exactly? When I initially voted for ntn, when it was down to Abe or PB, or when it was Abe, Telle, or PB? I thought I explained myself well in the beginning and the end.

As they say in legalese: Objection withdrawn. I missed a bit of your vote movement, and looking back, I have less problem with it than I initially did. Still feel like the move BACK to ntn was a bit out of the blue, but aside from that, I have far less issues than I thought I did.

There's one thing I don't follow here. If Abe is a villager and we all pile on to lynch him, doesn't that completely waste the day's voting? (and show that we may not be able to take a lot from day 1) Whereas if Abe is a villager, ends up getting lynched in a close race, and we have a run-off with an unknown who may be a wolf, wouldn't that at least be better for future days?

I don't understand the idea of piling on Abe. The fact is we don't know for sure if he is a wolf or villager. In the event that he ends up being a villager and gets lynched, I would rather at least have a chance to take something from the voting today.

My point here is that if I'm voting Abe it is not with the idea of having him in a runoff, apply pressure, see what we learn, or any other secondary motives that are part of putting votes on a candidate. It would be to try my hardest to get him lynched today because I'm fairly certain that we would be bagging a wolf.

If the idea behind a vote is any of those secondary reasons listed above, then I think there is more value in looking at two new candidates.

Ok, thanks for the clarification hoops.

I looked at the flow of voting from day 1 (thanks Scooby). Unless you want to assume Abe and PB are both wolves together (in which case we did a great job on day 1 picking candidates), the vote was 8-4 Abe-PB on D1 when PB and Danny (two villagers, assuming PB is truthful) started the run on Telle to finish off the day and save Abe.

At this point I'm operating under the assumption PB is really Shaggy because if not, I would think the real one would've come out since he already caught a wolf for us. If it had been an unknown / uncleared person who started the drive to save Abe, I would be much more interested in lynching Abe, but since it was two villagers who made that move, I am going to assume Abe is ok barring further information.

Thus my vote will go elsewhere today, again barring anything further coming to light.

Unless you want to assume Abe and PB are both wolves together (in which case we did a great job on day 1 picking candidates), the vote was 8-4 Abe-PB on D1 when PB and Danny (two villagers, assuming PB is truthful) started the run on Telle to finish off the day and save Abe.

At this point I'm operating under the assumption PB is really Shaggy because if not, I would think the real one would've come out since he already caught a wolf for us. If it had been an unknown / uncleared person who started the drive to save Abe, I would be much more interested in lynching Abe, but since it was two villagers who made that move, I am going to assume Abe is ok barring further information.

Thus my vote will go elsewhere today, again barring anything further coming to light.

Just to play devil's advocate...

The person who initiated the Telle run was the person who was under the gun of being voted out. I don't think that we can judge that run by who started it. Neither PB or Danny would have known Telle's allegiance so that really doesn't speak for Abe's presumed guilt or innocence.

If we go the Abe route: If Abe is good than we focus on those who didn't move their vote (there would be no need to move if it is vllager/villager/villager). If Abe is bad we need to look at the secondary group who joined in with PB and Danny.


Some other food for thought. PB tried basically posted that he thought he picked up on clues that Abe was the seer. Abe denied (which really means nothing as he should deny no matter what at that point) but why was Abe not targetted that night? They apparently targetted PB to stop his ability so why not target Abe to see if PB really did pick up on something? Why target Danny in that instance?

At this point I'm hoping that Abe is a villager because we've had most/all of the players make an appearance in the thread and Abe has only picked up a handful of votes. There has not been a vociferous defense of him, but the lack of traction on him has me leaning towards other candidates.

If we operating under the assumption that Abe = villager, then what are the reasons to look at NTN/RA? Are they different than the reasons if Abe = wolf? I recognize that it is harder to do analysis with "all candidates were villagers on Day 1" but I don't want the rundown today to be dictated by a false premise.

I wonder why the person who made the vote which changed day one (from Abe being lynched to Telle) would not want us to find out where Abe's allegiance is... Just a little more food for thought.

Nope, but I assume that the wolves would have been fighting hard that afternoon to push PB ahead or to get a third candidate introduced that would give them more wiggle room to save Abe. I'm not going to be able to post-dive this afternoon to research this, but I don't recall this happening in any effective manner prior to the late Telle surge.

If you assume that Abe = wolf then you have to believe that they had the votes they needed to get PB lynched (oops, the reveal made that a lot harder!) or they had basically extended all their energy already and had to hope we let them off the hook at the end.
