IMO, those are the real options. Instead, he says "Vote with me or vote for me". If he is the DQ, then the wolves would much rather have him voted off (as he counts for a guest) than a real wolf. It's almost that he hopes he gets voted off if we don't believe him (not RA). That's not seer behavior, that's DQ behavior. |

I'm doing that to show you how serious I am about being right. LIke a "Hey, if you don't believe me, KILL ME" kind of thing. If that's not as strong a message as I would think it is, then ok, vote RA. But you should still be believing me Arles. I mean let's be realistic, if you vote for me and I turn up Drama Queen, RA is dead the next day anyhow. If you vote with me and BK turns up innocent, it's the same difference. He won't though, he's the mother-in-law |

While I'll admit that jeheinz's story is too good to be true, it still makes no sense for one wolf to cover for another wolf. We'd both be revealed and with this many players left in the game it doesn't make sense. Not only that, but if jeheinz was a wolf why wouldn't he come up with a more "believable" story to counter DT's reveal? What would his angle be if he was a wolf? In any case, I have no problem with anyone voting for me, as I am an ordinary villager. I'd fight this strongly if I were the bride or groom but the wolves guessed wrongly with me. The way I see it: Villagers win no matter what. The only possibilities I see here for the wolves is that the villagers will only get a minor victory instead of a major victory because they hit the bride or groom with a night kill. Of course I want to make it to the end, but I will gladly sacrifice myself to verify jeheinz's story and ensure a villagers win (major or minor). I just don't see what sense it makes to believe DT. |

I'd agree, the village is going to win either way here. I'm just selfish/greedy and I want them to win by believing me off the bat. PLus the sooner they believe me the less chances the wolves have to take swipes at the Bride and Groom, I want that major win. But hey, yeah, if it takes me or you dying to ensure the win in the end then I am ok with that.
The real question is, with the DQ in the game, do we think they started out with 3 or 4 wolves? My guess is 3, since 12 guests, 3 wolves, 1 DQ seems fairest (11/4/1 would be a TOUGH win for the village). Anyhow, that's for a later date I suppose. |

Also, if someone does think there is a 4th wolf, I'll gladly take suggestions on who my scan should be tonight (not that I think I'll live to make the scan)

The bottom line to me is that the numbers just don't work out for jeheinz and I both to be wolves. This isn't the time for wolves to play this game. The villagers hold a 10-3 advantage and they need their numbers.
What I don't really get is why would DT come out like that if this were true? |

1. One additional potential day of confusion after a potentially damaging post by DT. 2. If we vote BK and it turns out he was a guest - common wisdom would be that everyone votes you off. But, this wouldn't hurt the wolves as you would have played your role and your voting off as the DQ hurts our winning ratio. 3. IMO, I think the wolves now know atleast two of the party (Groom/BG and seer). So, if they can get those two out the next two nights, they are in the driver seat even if they lose you. |

Well, part of that is my schedule. I leave for the day at 6 PM EST. So anything that happens between then and the deadline doesn't get factored into my scan. When I left, I think you had just received your first vote, so you weren't on my radar at all. As far as Pass/Mau/DT my rough strategy was to intentionally stay a day behind since a lot of my info due to my schedule was a day behind. I wanted the info of who I scanned pertaining to not only the votes for them (and who they voted for) but the reaction to those votes. So since DT was a hot-topic on Day One, and a lot of people took a stance on him one way or another, I thought I could get slivers of more information about many more people in addition to knowing what side he fell on. I dunno if that's stupid or not, but like I said, it's my first time as a Seer. Pass was my backup scan if DT somehow had been lynched after I left on Day Two (hence he was my primary scan on Night 3, had he not been lynched on Day Three) As far as Mau, I figured scanning DT was as good as essentially scanning Mau. Had I missed on a wolf last night, Mau would've been my scan tonight (and for kicks he likely will be anyhow). Does that help clear my thought process up at all? |

Yeah, I was going for a two-fer. I figured I was essentially scanning Mau by scanning DT. But by doing DT instead of Mau I was getting info on many others as well, whereas no one really took a stance on Mau on Day Two (when I voted for him, you're wrong there, I voted RendeR on Day One) Quote:
Oh it could be either combo. Frankly with 2 no-kills I have no idea what's going on with that. It's essentially irrelevant though since once you all kick yourselves for realizing you should've believed me, likely all the wolves will be out in the open (CR and BK, to reiterate) Quote:
That's a good point, I guess you're right. They'd have no reason to kill me unless there is a 4th wolf. Sweet! I'm all for them not killing me! Quote:
Ok, I see what you are saying here. I guess all I can say to counter is regarding your point #2. They're trying to do exactly that, you just have the "players" mixed up. So just be sure, when you all decide to not believe me and RA comes up good, that you DON'T then compound the mistake by lynching DT since he's actually the DQ.. As long as you agree to that plan, I'm *satisfied * satisfied to the extent that you're still wrong about all of this but I'll take solace in reiterating a plan which will help secure victory for the guests one day later than actually believing me now would. |

Here's my play as I see it:
1. Vote RA off. 1a. If he's not a wolf, you are right, then we will get the remaining two real wolves the next two votes (CR and BK): Tonight vote RA off, 3 wolves/DQ left (BK, CR, DT). They nail the groom/BG at night. Tomorrow vote BK off, 2 wolves left (CR/DT). They nail You or guess. Next night, vote CR off, 1 wolf left (DT). Guesses again at night. Following night, we win. No real harm done as they are probably going to land someone in the next two nights from our party and then guess. And, even if we followed your advice, it would take 3 (instead of 4) weeks to end the game. IMO, weeks 3 and 4 will just be wild guesses on their part so there's nothing lost in taking an extra week to get everyone. 1b. If RA is a wolf, then DT will be key in finding the final wolf (I would choose one of Mau, Clap or Schmidty) and we can assume you are the DQ. Tonight vote RA off, 2 wolves/DQ left (JeHe and ?). They nail the groom/BG or seer at night. Tomorrow vote - Hope seer survives to find the final wolf. If not, vote JeHe off, 1 wolf left(?). They take out groom/BG or seer. Next night, Guess again for final wolf - but we just have the groom or BG and bride left. Final wolf guesses again at night. This repeats.. So, it's clear to me that we can afford to be wrong on RA and still win the game in 2-3 weeks if you are right. If, however, we go BK tonight and he is a guest, we may be hosed. They will probably kill DT or the BG/groom tonight. Then, we will go RA tomorrow and they will finish off the other. At this point, we've lost probably the BG or Groom and seer, and they have one unknown wolf and the DQ left. |

To be clear, I have no problem being the sacrificial lamb. The villagers win no matter what. I'd like to live to see victory, but I hope you all will see this sacrifice and remember me...
To jeheinz, I think we're playing into the wolves here. The thing that bothers me about this is why would DT come forward at this point in the game? Are we closer to endgame than we think? Let's say they did a conversion. That would make it 9-4 villagers to wolves. If they take me out, that brings it 8-4. DT or BK gets lynched and it's 8-3. They do a night kill and it's 7-3. They do a conversion and it's 7-4. I still don't get why DT came out at this point. The numbers just don't work out. |

The only possibility I see here is that they've done two conversions (which is highly unlikely) and the score is 8-5 villagers to wolves. They take me out and it's 7-5. If they were able to do another conversion, then it would be endgame.
I really doubt that they're able to convert every night, so that makes this possibility extremely remote. Maybe I'm missing something here. |

The reason I think he did is this A) It means you'll get lynched today, and he'll get lynched tomorrow (had I not had the hand good enough to reveal). Not only is that 2 "guests" as far as ratio goes not being lynched, but it's 2 chances that a wolf ISN'T voted out. Also, DT is the Drama Queen, not a wolf, so he doesn't count as a wolf. I'd say WORST case is it's 10-3 with a drama queen right now (3 starter wolves plus a conversion, minus Pass). I think realistically it's 10-2-1 (1 being DT as the DQ). So if it's 10-3 and you die and the groom dies it's 8-3. Then we string up BK and they kill say me, it's 7-2. Then we string up CR and they kill someone, it's 6-1. I'd like to hope that those remaining 6 good guys would be able to out that last wolf in the two tries they'd have at it. Ideally though, its 11-2 (for ratio purposes DT counts as a guest). So it'll be 9-2 then 8-1 then ballgame with 6 living guests (I have a feeling CR gets to take someone with him, the rules kind of point to that). And that's fine. Though if people just FRIGGIN BELIEVED ME it'd go Lynch BK, 11-1 Someone dies, 10-1 Lynch CR, ballgame with NINE living guests and we get to start a new game. But hey, as long as people are understanding how to recover from what is seeming like their inevitable mistake (by lynching BK and NOT DT tomorrow) all will be ok...kinda. |

Yeah, and I'd be surprised if they can convert at all, (with no mention of it). The DQ is the reason, remember he's a vote for them when it all boils down. |

Why did nobody scan me? Because it's assumed that with my early record of being a big mouth would eventually get me lynched, that's why there is no scan of me. There, I said it.
I strongly urge you to not use a scan on me since I'm just a guest of the wedding and it would hurt our chances a wee-bit as the good side. If you want to scan me and find out that I am indeed just a normal guest, be my guest. I've got nothing to hide. Heinz has more to lose with this reveal than DT does and as of right now that's why I'm sticking with my vote. Later tonight I'll go step by step WHY nobody should be considering me for a wolf anyways. I don't have the time to put together my votes and all that good stuff, but it is pretty obvious that I'm not a wolf.. at least it should be. I don't know why I'm being so defensive when I'm not even on the chopping block but I will be anyways because I think I need to for my own sake. |

If DT is INDEED the wolf your scan on me would be even more pointless yet. I threw myself under the bus in some eyes by eyeing DT from the get-go. He caught my eye and has always been on my radar as everyone knows. You'd be smarter scanning someone else and I'm sure you're smart enough to know that, too. I know your style, you say one thing and go with another route.. so everyone just pretend I didn't write what I just wrote!

Well, what you keep saying just makes it sound a little more guilty. It is pretty obvious that if they vote out RA tonight and they're all wrong, OBVIOUSLY they will be going your route because DT may have been wrong.
Now I'm beginning to think that this might be a double fake-out. You are both wolves and by doing this one of you has eliminated each other from being a wolf, until of course the ACTUAL, REAL SEER comes out. I strongly urge, if it is true, that the real seer scans one of these two guys tonight and doesn't come out with it. I might go the length of making sure BOTH these guys get voted out after today for this reasoning alone. If DT is wrong, we vote DT then we get rid of Heinz following that. If Heinz is right, we vote DT and see what DT REALLY was. |

I think it's time for me to stop talking altogether then if it's dissuading from the fact that DT is NOT A WOLF. HE IS THE DRAMA QUEEN. That's the main point I care to make, today's vote is just sugar on top If you follow the logic of that last paragraph (which is exactly what I don't want you to do), the village will lose this game. With that, I'm out. I'm going to be online but intentionally not look in here until an hour or so before I leave. |

I couldn't finish my paragraph in my long post above, I wanted to add a few more things but bosses came in and I had to cut it short. Anyhow.
We see what happens after today and it can be discussed in good form the rest of the way. I see what you are saying about not wanting to vote DT out because he may be the drama queen and it doesn't count against our numbers, so that I understand. I do. So, we don't vote him out and find another route when the time comes... I'm still fine for sticking around on this side of the fence for the time being and won't be too upset with anything that does come up in the upcoming night. |

I don't really know what to think at this point...Mau is going on and on like he's 1 vote away from being voted out tonight, yet I dont' think he has any votes at all...makes me wonder if he's panicking b/c his name has been mentioned a number of times and he's just rambling to make himself feel better.
The DT/Heinz thing really has me wondering who is who and what is what...my gut says the DT is the real seer, but he could be lying and it wouldn't be the first time I was fooled by DT. I think I've played with Heinz before, but nothing about any of his games sticks out in my mind... I know if I were the seer, and what went down on night 2 happened with Pass, Mau and myself, I would have scanned one of those 3 people (obviously using a different player for myself in the scenario). I find it really odd that none of the 3 of us were scanned that night. But maybe that is just me. Like I said before, I've put my vote in...we'll see how the rest of the day plays out, but right now, I'm not totally convinced that either of them are telling the entire truth. |

You are exactly right. I'm rambling just to ramble, to be honest. I just want to make sure there is no scan on me because it is pointless. Just trying not to waste a scan but if it draws more attention and I get a scan anyways.. fine. As far as not getting a scan on any of us three with what was going on, I can understand why there wasn't a scan.

Nice correction. Or did you get yourself confused setting up the fake reveal to save RA? Bad move. Arles is right (not that I expect anyone to believe I would say otherwise, with you trying to pin me, too, but he is). This is too clean. You should have eased off. Like Homer says when Bart changes his 'D' to an 'A' to get to go to summer camp. "What kind of fool do you take me for, boy? A 'B' is more believable. And it's much easier to turn a 'D' into a 'B'.

Worth updating
RaidersArmy: 7 (DT, NTN, clap, BK, Arlie, olie, CR) Barkeep: 3 (jeheinz72, RaidersArmy, Mau) No vote from: path12, Schmidty, Farrah So since i know DT, BK and CR aren't switching. And we know myself and RA aren't switching, that leaves 8 voters. I need to get 5 of you to agree with me. I have 1, they have 4 and 3 are undecided. This isn't going well. Since I can't resist posting, I'll have some questions for the haters shortly. |
