I disagree with your logic on point 1, since the wolves didn't use the cunning wolf in a logical way. I'm unclear how the seer could be discredited, since the seer ideally would not reveal his identity. I don't quite follow point 2. |

As for how the cunning wolf discredits the seer -- it often seems to be the case that subtlety fails and the seer must outright denounce the alleged wolf. The cunning wolf might frame an argument that the seer was a wolf trying to get a villager framed -- sometimes the seer is not believed and is lynched instead of the accused wolf. The cunning wolf would have an additional bullet when this happens -- in appearing to be a villager, the seer might be discredited, sowing doubt and possibly leading to us lynching him. Quote:

What a frickin mess. I think it was way easier last night when we knew it was one or the other.
At this point, I'm really doubting the RPI vote, but it's too late to change it. I believe I was the first one to state that because he was pushing so hard on Day 1 it was obvious that he was a villager. His actions since then made me change my mind. I'm pretty sure dubb is on the level. I think I explained that before, and I think there are a few who agree with that. kingfc22 is the wildcard. I have a lot of doubt in my mind on him. Now, what are the chances that all three are villagers out of 12 remaining players? I would say that the chances of at least one of them is a wolf are pretty good. It's just which one. |

Wednesday, I agree with your thought that if RPI is a villager then they would likely have left him around after Day 1 when he went berserk on the herbalist. But I speak from experience when I say that if that person is not lynched the next day then they eventually are able to assume a trusted position. The 'no one would be that stupid' defense starts to gain credibility when combined with rational play on the following days.
As far as the wolf decisions, I've got a number of thoughts on what would have been optimal play but I don't have any desire to post them as we come up on the night actions for them. But I thought yesterday's lynch was a pretty straight-forward call and they went another direction. So far the lynching of the herbalist is the best thing they have going for them. Assuming that none of people under the microscope today held special roles I think that everyone did a great job of keeping their roles tightly wrapped. Of course, if we are lynching a villager who is also a lover/seer then I'll have to edit my post (j/k) to moan and complain about not saving us from our own stupid mistake. |

There are at least two players conjoined and they know it. That could also explain why some players are "protecting" others. The problem is that a villager may be trying to protect his own hide by saving a wolf. I think we need to take this into account.
Would there be any harm in letting the rest of us know who the two lovers are? I would think that the wolves would know if one of them was connected to a villager, so in the reveal it would make it an even playing field. |

Oh, and hoops, I found your analysis very helpful. Wednesday is in there now as well. I trust barkeep and blade, but they're in my valence circle of trust.

I see no benefit to conjoined villagers revealing themselves -- it gives the wolves a free bonus kill.

Dola, on the other hand, if one of the conjoined is on the block, I would have to think that it would be revealed -- not because it does anything to clear the player (or the mate), but only because it should affect the math that the voters do in terms of where they cast their vote.
(If that makes any sense at all...) I'm not as sold on this part, though.

Dola, and I guess they can't come out because we don't know if they're a villager/villager or villager/wolf. Crap.

Lovers impact:
1.) Players who are lovers have to be pretty tightly wrapped. Getting into a pissing match with someone that you do not know is a wolf is especially dangerous because you know you will be taking someone else with you if you incite your own lynching. 2.) Wolves would all know if one of their own is a lover, since they can communicate. They would also know which villager to avoid. 3.) Wolves would be incented to 'take a shot' at the lovers rather than collecting a sure kill, in the event that they have identified a role 4.) If a villager is a lover and their lover seems to be skating free and clear along with them they have to worry about their partner as we move towards end game. I'm still kind of thinking through the implications of this one ... |

Basically, a villager/villager pair wants to stay hidden.
If a wolf is part of a pair, the incentive for hiding isn't there (no worries about free wolf meat), but because of the desire of the villager/villager pair to stay hidden, a reveal in itself casts suspicion.

Maybe my analysis of dubb making a play at kingfc wasn't too off:
(assuming 3 wolves) 9-3 villagers right now. After a villager lynch, it would be 8-3 villagers. Wolf kill tonight would bring it to 7-3 villagers. Lynch a villager tomorrow, it would be 6-3 villagers. Wolf kill would make it 5-3 villagers. IF the lovers are both villagers, chances are that we will lose another villager in this process, making it 4-3 villagers at the end of tomorrow. That makes it a much closer game there. I think the only conclusion is that if we fucked up today, we have to be very careful in what happens tomorrow (or the seer needs to come up big), because if we don't, that's pretty much the game. |

Don't forget a cursed, RA. Upon the death of SirFoz I interpreted that to mean that there is one blessed and one cursed remaining. I don't think it takes a particularly liberal interpretation to suggest that there is someone out there who could still be turned by the wolves.
Looks like Sir Fozzie's Night 0 action will go a long way towards determining the winner in this game. |

I'm pretty sure kingfc22 wound up getting lynched by a single vote (without tiebreakers coming into play).

KING-Dubb, Mr. Wednesday, Ardent, RPI
DUBB-Barkeep, St. Cronin, hoopsguy RPI-KingFc, RA, McSweeny, Blade I just went thought and counted it up as that. EDIT: Assuming this is the count it comes down to a technicality. I voted King b/f King voted RPI(which would kill RPI), but I later unvoted that vote and re-voted for him(which could kill King). Should be interesting.

Damnit. Sorry guys, I missed the vote. I was expecting to get out of the office by about 5:30 and make it home in time, but I didn't end up leaving until 6:45 and at my new office we don't have internet access yet. I have about 5 pages of posts to read through, but it looks like today was quite a day.

Sorry for the lateness. I'm putting things on hold until the weekend blows over. Night actions can be sent in during the weekend and I will post everything as soon as I receive them. We resume on Monday, 8PM EST Voting deadline. BTW, can you guys find someone who would want to play in place of SackAttack over the weekend?
Vote Count: kingfc22 - Mr.Wednesday, ardent_enthusiast, dubb93, RPI-Fan dubb93 - Barkeep49, st. cronin, hoopsguy RPI-Fan - kingfc22, Raiders Army, McSweeny, Blade6119 With RPI-Fan having the last first vote cast on him, he is the unfortunate lynchee tonight. You grab RPI-Fan and accuse him of being a wolf. He says that he certainly is not one. You grab his arms and legs and bind them. You quickly hoist him up, despite his screams for mercy. A noose is tied around his neck. You lift him up... and wait. Nothing. You just killed another villager. RPI-Fan was a Villager!

Oops, I didn't read my own count right. And that answers the question about whether revoking a vote alters the tiebreaker, as well. RIP, RPI.

Dola, and I was all set to be melancholy about not getting a wolf, but we really don't know that for sure because he could have been the cunning wolf (although I've already posted my own reasons for thinking otherwise).

I'll update the post counts thread tomorrow morning. Since we have a fairly long weekend to digest the info I'm just going to get some rest tonight and come back at this with a fresh outlook tomorrow. Hopefully today's close results give us something more to look at than today's crapshoot.

Since it was a close vote, I will be looking most closely at those who voted FOR RPI-Fan. Although I will keep in mind that it is possible rpi was cunning wolf. Ugh ... you all might be better off if I get eaten, I'm just really no good at this.

If that is the case then this werewolf game started for me today.
Cronin, you ever read along with a game before playing this one? I remember the first game I read along with I was pretty dialed in. But that was probably the exception to the rule. |

There was one game (run by Neon) where I knew fairly early on what all of the players were. It was very unusual, though, because there was so much interlinking that very few people were playing completely in the dark. And I still wasn't able to leverage that knowledge into a strategy to win the game.

well damn
that was a bit unexpceted. i left tonight figuring that i'd be lynched and i come home to see a neck and neck race between king and rpi and dubb as i was driving to providence tongiht i had this crazy theory that Blade is a wolf. it's probably just paranoia, but since Blade has been pretty much the villager ring-leader i figure the wolves would want him dead ASAP. i know that if i were a wolf he'd be the first one i'd target. If he doesn't get attacked tonight you have to wonder what the wolves are thinking. doesn't it make sense to take out whomever presents the greatest threat? could he be playing an amazing game as a wolf? could he really have us all fooled? i dunno, that's just the crazy theory that popped into my head tonight, don't take it for anything more. i'm sure i'll be one of the front-runners for tomorrow's lynching and i doubt this crazy theory will do anything to help that... but we already lost the innocent RPI. we really don't need to lose another innocent |

Shiznit. Now we're down another villager, albeit somewhat of a loose cannon.
I see this: Blade, McSweeny and I should be the targets today. All three of us voted for Pass and RPI. Well, Blade didn't really vote for Pass, but he would've had his vote been properly formatted. I know I'm on the level, but it's strange that McSweeny brings up doubts about Blade at this point. I haven't had any doubts due to the way he's "played the game," but now I do. On the flipside, is he bringing this up at this point to deflect attention from himself? |

Well as far as lynching a villager goes that was about as good as it gets. The only thing better would have been to find the cursed.
