That actually sounds to me like Hoops protected Blade last night, and all is well in the world, to be honest.

I think we have at least three bad guys - the wizard said you might be able to find him and he had henchmen, plural. I remember having a discussion about this earlier. Plus there are 16 people, doesn;t make sense to have just two antagonists. -Anxiety

That explanation fits, although why then did Blade jump to the conclusion that hoops wasn't the bodyguard? |

I did not play a role in the events that Blade is relaying. If he is telling the truth then there was another person who had the ability to protect him last night.
I still do not want to say who I protected last night, but it was not Blade. I made a point of coming out with the bodyguard story to help clear up "protect versus convert" conversations that were already starting and that made perfect sense, given no body after the night action. |

No plans screwed up, one way or the other, Blade. But if you are telling the truth about the events of last night then I completely understand why my version of the events weirded you out.

I would rather not say why I am sure on hoops right now except that I trust him for now, everything he has said adds up unless someone else steps forward there is no reason for debate at this point.

Cronin, is there any reason that I need to keep my role name secret at this point? I think you and Barkeep had wanted me to only give the first letter.

Hoops and Blade, I think you are focusing to much attention on each other and playing into the baddies hands.
Trust me, you are both telling the truth and need to look elsewhere. |

Ok so who isn't in on this love fest?
Anxiety, Ardent, schmidty, Tyrith, and path Seems like maybe we should look at one of them? The other players are connected through interlocking trusts suggesting that while there is perhaps one baddie in the group we've got a good starting point for wizard hunting. |

So let's draw some lines - I have hoops, barkeep, blade, anxiety and probably lathum in my circle. Anybody see any problems with that? Other than the blade v. hoops thing, I mean.

Blade, I'm willing to try and cooperate today if you are ...
1. Do you think that any of the late vote changes to me last night were by members of Team Wizard (Schmidty or Path)? |

Okay, let's buy into lathum's story for now. That clears blade, cronin, and hoops, and theoretically also lathum. Schmidty seems to come up right in my cross-hairs now. Any other thoughts?

Okay, just woke up a half hour ago, and I'll soon be packing. I'm heading out to a friend's place tonight and playing Magic and I'll be out all night. I might be able to use his computer to check back in, later, but who knows.
Wow! Lots of stuff happening and information being revealed. For the record, here is my own littel circle of trust: Trust: Blade, Hoops Distrust: Cronin, Lathum's cryptic statement Everybody else is in the middle. I have to vote now, because I don't know if I'll be able to log on or not from my friend's place. Do you ever feel that you know a lot more and yet are still having difficutly who to vote for? That's me right now. I find myself believing hoops, for now at least. Does anybody else find Cronin to be playing rather erratically? I'd like to hear more from Lathum, but I understand if he's not willing to give it up. I just don't think Lathum should have said anything at all until there was serious heat on Blade, and there wasn't. Still, poor strategy does not an antagonist make. Us wolves have to stick together. For now, I'm going to roll my view of cronin. Vote st.cronin -Anxiety

This is probably a good spot for a vote recap up to this point. So far the voting has been all over the place similar to our discussion today. I hate to feel that we aren't really making much ground by being all over the place. I would rather stick with one or two likely targets and try to narrow down lines of trust.
Path - Alan T (560), Barkeep (602) Schmidty - Saldana (561) Ardent - Path (564), Cronin (572) hoops - Blade (637) Cronin - Anxiety (676) |

Blade, I'm counting three people as late-changes towards me (Schmidty was in last hour) and for purposes of "playing nice" with you I'm willing to accept that you are not a wizard.
Why do you trust Path? I was suspicious of him, although I had not posted on it, long before the deadline last night. |

I reread my statement and realized I didn't say everything I wanted to
I beleive st.cronin's role reveal, I just think his actions have been a bit off. I just don't know who else to go after? Maybe path, I could be convinced of that. I'm going to go pack and I'll check back in 30 minutes.

Here is my current trust list..
Moderate trust: Cronin, Saldana Little trust: Ardent, Barkeep Neutral: Blade, Coffee, Hoops, Lathum Little distrust: Tyrith Moderate distrust: Path,Schmidty, Anxiety The main changes i have done is Barkeep through his posts today makes me feel a little more confident in him. Hoops, Blade and Lathum I have to sort out one way or another in my head, but dont feel strong enough to make any kind of move on them. Coffee to me has seemed like he is trying too hard to just fill in the places that makes the most people happy, but I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt that its tough to jump in midway, so will watch him more today and tommorrow before I form an opinion. I also moved Anxiety and Schmidty into a little more distrust over what feels like comments that go directly against my observations so far. |

I trust schmidty because I think it would be a really risky move to switch a late vote this early in the game. Right now I am leaning towards Ardent. He has been really, really quiet to this point and his name hasn't really come up. |

Rules: Roles will be handed out this weekend. This will begin Night 0 and discussion will be allowed at this point. Game will start Tuesday, 9 AM with Night 0 Actions due at that point. Game will then run on a Monday-Friday basis, with Night action results being revealed at 9 am, and lynch results being revealed at 10 PM. Lynches will be based on a strict Most votes basis. Ties will be handled under the following rule: The two "boss" characters can each break a tie once (the Wolf player will have first choice on whether to break a tie or not, followed by the Wizard player). However, breaking a tie WILL reveal your role. If neither player wishes to break the tie, it will be decided by a coin flip. The game will go until the Wizard flees, The Wizard and his henchmen outnumber the remaining Wolves (or a 1v1 basis), or the Wizard and his henchmen are all killed. Victory Conditions: Wolves: Complete Victory: Wizard and henchmen killed, Wolf Boss stays alive Moderate Victory: Wizard Flees, Henchmen killed, Wolf Boss stays alive Moderate Victory: Wizard and henchmen Killed, Wolf Boss is killed Light Victory: Wizard Flees, Henchmen Killed, Wolf Boss is Killed Wizard/Henchmen: Victory: Eliminate all Wolves[/quote] |

OK, Day one anxiety threw out a safe day one vote on barkeep, day 2 he threw out a vote on hoops that was kind of middle of the pack. He has done a good job of just "blending in" and for that I don't trust him.
I have to leave for work soon and will probably miss the deadline. I think I am onto something here and I hope I live through the night. |

I just came back from packing and boy, have things changed.
Look guys, I don't know strategy and what completely yet, but I think it's a bad idea if we reveal all of our roles on the same day, gives the antagonists too many targets. What should I do here? -Anxiety

Going back through Blade's PM, he indicates that the wizard is a traitor to the pack? Huh? Is there any reason for the wizard to have ever been a member of the pack - how would the mad wizard have been in position to betray the pack? I don't know how this impacts play, but from a plot development standpoint I find the word "traitor" very interesting in regards to an assumed-to-be-human wizard.
