The action you took was the correct one and you're not set for the day, so don't worry about it

[Schmidty]

And I'm in a Death Draft in the GD which takes even more of my time.

Don't worry, you didn't even need to do the organizing action until the night deadline -- so you've got time to catch up.

Catching up will be hard today, what with 7-8 pages to read, and almost no time to do it. I'm leaving myself in the thread, but I'm at the comp sporadically.

[Abe Sargent]

Allow me to start processing who is on teh mission

[Abe Sargent]

I have Poli, RedeR and Jackal is that correct?

I spent time catching up, wasn't really worth it

[Abe Sargent]

A trio of you come back from a successful journey to the depot and the old railroad warehouse.

[The Jackal]

Well guys, I found myself a weapon. Doesn't look like it's class-specific, so I'm going to hang on to it unless we have a cleared role in danger.

[The Jackal]

Will be interesting to hear what Poli and RendeR found.

[Autumn]

Is it a gun, Jackal? That will be useful to one of the hunters with the right mission.

Nope.

[Danny]

While you guys were off gallivanting i found a boogie.

[The Jackal]

patrol - CR (x3), USFL (x3) (6/6)
food distribution - Lathum (x3), BK, EF (x3), PB, heinz, dubb, Autumn, TheNorm, Danny (x3) (15/15)
organization - clap, ntn (x3), Schmidty (?) (5/8)

mission - Poli, RendeR, Jackal

idle - Pass, DT

Did Schmidty say if he was x3 or anything?

[Abe Sargent]

ATTENTION PLEASE.

The Sheriff of Boone County has arrived and presents an arrest warrant for EagleFan for arson!

He protests his innocence but to no avail. EagleFan has been arrested!

He said he was skilled at organizing. I don't think he said he was x3, but I think we can assume it (hi clap!)

[The Jackal]

well that's no good

Is he removed from the game? Do we find out his allegiance?

He has been arrested. He's not dead or anything. Perhaps he'll be back! Perhaps not...

Hmm. Good questions, Danny -- the first page post doesn't help us much.

[Abe Sargent]

Obviously, since he is not here, he will be unable to work, whether he comes back or not

[The Jackal]

thats trouble

Wow, so we're screwed now for the conversion.

[TheNorm]

Wait, what? Now there's a new twist I haven't seen before...

[Danny]

I'm assuming a wolf caused EF to get arrested. And it either means one of two things.

1. He is a wolf and arrested himself so that he did not have to fake work in order to stop the mission

2. The wolves just chose one of the three specializations to stop us from accomplishing our goal. This leads me to believe the wolves may have took advantage of going on the mission.

this isnt even a complicated game, they get insane here

[Passacaglia]

Hmm. Does anyone have a skill that they think MIGHT help out in another area? Even though I didn't agree with his view of our skill, Autumn thought we might be x2 at patrolling. Does anyone see anything like that in their skill that might just be able to work in another area? It's grasping at straws, but it's the best thing I see that we can do at the moment.

Perhaps we should not suggest he read the Marvel Game 2.0

[Abe Sargent]

By 1903 - WV is the 3rd largest producer of coal in the nation. Until 1912, its production will increase 6 times, massively outstripping the rest of the eastern US. During this time, the number of miners will increase 165% while the population only increases 27%, so miners are rarely piped in except for strike breaking.

[Autumn]

Well, we've found out a new ability. I don't know how we could get him out (though maybe that will be a mission?) or what we could do to prevent such a thing.

But we don't stand a chance now at the camps, right? I think we had one extra, but not three.

And the wolves likely arranged it so we would not have enough extra.

I'm still holding out hope. There has to be some way around this.

still catching up but this is insanely far from the truth.

if I was a wolf in your position I do the work so I can gain trust. A positive outcome tonight does nothing to elevate you or CR one bit.

Well crap. If the sympathizers/coal owners have ways to get us both during the day and at night (and historically as we've been shown here so far by Abe, they've got many ways), we've got a huge fight ahead of us.

[Autumn]

With that arrest coming in the day, I kind of wonder if a Sympathizer could have faked going on the mission and performed a Day Action instead?

[jeheinz72]

Could be Autumn...

[jeheinz72]

and by could be, I mean you could be right.

Or EF just arrested himself. I would not throw that out as a possibility.

I keep forgetting that they can choose to work or fake. I always keep assuming they fake it.

Is it a microphone or a bullhorn? I'm an orator and I could use could be my class-specific weapons.

Ooooh, ooooh, is it words? Cause words can hurt sometimes too.

[Passacaglia]

Are we just punting on the camps? I know that figuring out who's behind this is sexier, but that's for tomorrow. The camp needs to get figured today. I'm heading home in a few minutes -- maybe the car ride will give me some better ideas.

[PurdueBrad]

I'm also kind of ticked I got talked out of the mission now. I'm wondering if the wolves were trying to keep more of us from the mission as well, meaning they beat us twice today, not just once.

[Danny]

I'm not a math major, but we only have 27 units of work available and 28 that are needed. Unless someone reveals some new information about being able to do more work, there is nothing we can do.

You're right -- I'm just annoyed, and thinking there has to be some loophole somewhere. Make that very annoyed.

That's tricky because it clearly benefited us to complete the work and we had no way of knowing the wolves had this ability. I'm more inclined to think those that completely dismissed my idea of all going on the mission or made an early push one way or the other are more suspicious. Once we made the play to try and do the work, it's a villager play to expect others to go along so we can finish.

[Autumn]

It seems likely they have some limit on what they can do during the day. I'd like to think they at least have to fake an action in order to take an action, but I suppose we don't know that.

I know, looking back, I wish we had all gone on the mission. It may be early, but my vote is most likely going Barkeep tomorrow.
