Ok I think cronin is the best thing we have going. I'm not too pleased with bek nor with tangle nor with schmidty. But I agree that there's a chance that cronin is trying to signal the other necros about the odds. But then again so could have saldana. Anyhow for now I'm not so upset to

Vote cronin

Gah, now I'm conflicted. The logic behind cronin trying to send a message is good, and it would be such a sweet move if it worked...but it's thin. And he's also right to a degree; we would be really weirded out too if we had a kill. The bek kill is weak, and I don't think we have a better than random chance of getting a necro with him...it's almost worth it to me now.

What's weird? We assume that a necro took a stab and killed somebody. What would be weird about it?

That's a genuine question there. I don't follow the logic of cronin and now tyrith.

Maybe instead St.cronin is not hinting at what should come tonight, but instead at what happened last night? I will go back and reread what happens if a nec attacks a nec, but what if St.cronin did attack someone last night and it ended up being a nec and he is trying to give them some code?

I dont see how he can be hinting to attack someone tonight, since how would you know who to attack if you were a nec?

Maybe Im reading too much into this here though...

The more I think about this, good enough for me..

Because there would be a lot of shit going on. This game has lots of moving parts; a night kill would have thrown in yet another we would have to deal with. And because whoever died would have been completely, insanely random.

Then what would he gain for trying to hint to kill someone tonight, unless he is trying to get clues out for people to seer scan him to start forming their circle?

Cronin wouldn't need to code another necro, they could PM each other.

Because he's saying that the odds of killing another necro are low and there's still a chance to find another?

So far I think we've been reading too much into little things due to lack of any other substantive information. While I'm not saying cronin isn't bad, we need to be careful how far we let our zeal lead our minds.

They don't know each other until they make contact, though. So he could be trying to get OTHER necromancers to try the same thing.

Ok, I'm off to play some softball. I don't like the whole switching votes thing too much, but my first vote was really just in case I couldn't make a more well-informed vote later. Since I know a little more now...

Unvote Passacaglia
Vote st. cronin

I'm super confused.

I thought SnDvls was acting odd but someone is vouching for him.
There's a runup on St Cronin but there isn't anything totally damning.

Vote bek

As much as i hate to, since it's friggin lame to go after the guy who hasn't shown up for the 2nd day in a row (as a group), I gotta vote bek right now. I'm unsure on the other 2 floating in my mind (SnDvls and St Cronin) and I don't want to lynch another important member to our cause.

the only problem i have with that is in order for him to be playing the stumbling rookie, there would have to have been a veteran telling him to do it from behind the curtain....in this game, there hasnt been a chance for anyone to be behind the curtain since the bad guys dont know each other.

What distinguishes the baddie feel from the new player feel for you? Assuming you make it back to the game while you're still alive.

You made it impossible to do that several games ago.

Catching up here, though my vote doesn't look like it's gonna matter at this point.

Dubb? Can we get some sort of hint of idea why the 180 on SnDvls?

A wild guess? I found a piece of paper saying "SNDVLS is innocent in my pocket"? Or prehaps he PM'ed me his role description? The ancient egyptians may never know.

Doesnt worry me a ton since I am guessing neither bad or good guys know who is who right now. I am more concerned that I understand exactly what people's reasons are.

In fairness it's been differnet people behind the dash each day which is reassuring. PLUS we can't assume that the baddies are working together yet. Tomorrow I think we can start to assume far more coordination.

I don't think you suck at all.

Also I don't think Chubby's play screams of anything except excited newcomer. As someone who played as a wolf in his first full game I have some idea of what that looks like and this doesn't seem like it to me.

I'll just leave it at, had some people followed along a little better that game the ending would have been much different.

Thanks. And I have to agree with your assesment. I'm rather impressed with both new players so far; they seem to be asking the right questions and trying to learn the right way, even if they are horrible necromancers on the inside.

The end of that game was full of weird shit. After Anxiety was killed and we muffed the barkeep kill I was certain we had lost...but then lathum killed barkeep for reasons I still don't understand, and Day Six went down perfectly even though I zoned out for an hour and forgot to put in my vote. It was almost the perfect storm, and we put a big dent in the ability for bad guys to stay quiet and under-the-radar in the future.

Just because he's shrewd doesn't mean that he's bad, though. Then we have to start judging the content of his observations, which we can't do until we develop some more information. This is a really slow developing game, we can't get too far into our ruts now.

Smartass.

Benefit of the doubt for the time being, since there's a distinct possiblity of something that would have caused you to ping him then back off, especially this early in the game.
