The good news (I guess) is that we don't have a mission for people to go on instead, so this should be more straightforward. |

32 isn't what makes this tough, what will really make this tough is whether or not we have enough people of each specialty to get the bonuses so we can cover everything. I haven't done the math but this one will be tight.

Needs:
Gladhandling – 8 Oratory – 8 Treasury – 8 Organization – 8 People: Gladhandling - 3 (all at x3) Oratory - 4 (2 at x3, 2 at x1) Treasury - 6 (1 at x3, 5 at x1) Organization - 4 (2 at x3, 2 at x1) So that's 17 of 19. Although, I'm not sure if the treasurer is a x3 or x2 -- hopefully it's x3. BK, can you verify? I saw that someone else earlier was saying they shouldn't have revealed that they were x3, so maybe you shouldn't reveal yours, but I'm not sure that's exactly a villager friendly plan. Abe -- does the person who gets lynched still have a chance to act? Also, can we vote no lynch? |

Unfortunately I don't have the time now but I think it is critical for us to keep a running total on this one so that we can see where we stand and not allow an opening for confusion later.
I'll try to get back on around lunch time but I will put a place holder wofk action in since we lost path. work treasury |

Here's what I was referring to. Now that I realize it's EF, that puts a much different spin on that comment. Are you saying that if you had not revealed your multiplier, you think we would have won the camp, or that you personally would not have been arrested? |

Would you know that for certain? I was just thinking out loud on that one. Basically it was a what if notion... "what if the sympathisers gain money by doing in someone with treasury as a skill?" |

I was thinking that if I hadn't revealed early with x3 maybe we would have placed more people on the camp tasks prior to the mission and then either if I got arrested (or one of the others who were x3 on food distribution did) it would have placed us in a better position. It was more thinking out loud and late at night to boot. Hind sight is 20/20 so there would have been no way to know about the arrest. |

One last point which came to mind. More thinking out loud though to be honest.
I doubt that more than one sympathiser went on the mission yesterday, if that. That would make it too obvious. By putting me in prison they guarantee that we do not succeed and do not have to risk exposing a member by not working. They can act just like us and put the effort in without being noticed and knowing that it won't help us succeed. We may want to look at anyone who flopped from doing the mission and onto working at camp. If they saw that the numbers were already going to be tight and this arrest was going to keep us just short they would want to hide among us. There was flopping and if that held tru to the end (no flopping back) than I bet there was already one sympathiser on the mission and they didn't want to expose another. As I said, just thinking out loud. With that said I think my vote needs to be.... vote PurdueBrad I think he was the one who flopped. If I am not remembering correctly I will change this when I read through the thread on lunch (or after work before the deadline). |

If the village would like to not vote, that's fine. There's no voting requirement. Ousts and works are processed simutaneously so all work is completed by the one being ousted.

There is no voting requirement, so if you'd like to, sure.

Saying 'there is no voting requirement' is different from a 'no lynch' vote. No voting requirement means we don't have to vote, but if 8 people vote for Player X, and no one else votes, Player X dies. But generally, if 8 people vote for Player X, and everyone else votes No Lynch, no one dies. |

So I guess what I'm asking is -- if we vote No Lynch, does that mean we're actually voting for there to be no lynch?
And -- is the person who is lynched able to work on the camps? |

Organizing looks a little low, so I'll help out there unless I'm needed elsewhere.
GO ORGANIZE Since I'm not one of those big organizer types, I'm just x1.

All right, it looks like we need a couple one units on Oratory, so I'll try to fill that up next.

EagleFan, I had thought you were wrong about Purdue switching off, but you are right. He switched off the mission after nine others had committed to some form of work, including Poli and Render going on the mission. I'm not sure if that means anything or not. I'm not sure if the Sympathizers could have known already that they had the numbers they needed. Possibly, since we would have needed only one person on the mission in order to win despite EagleFan's arrest.
TheNorm switched off after getting a lot of pressure also. By that point it might have been much clearer that they had the numbers. Though I would think that they would be worried that Jackal, Poli and/or Render would switch off the mission. It certainly seemed a possibility. That makes me suspicious of those three. |

Well, had I been around I would have switched off. When I volunteered for the mission I did so only because I thought the other stuff was covered. I'd much rather have won the camp than to have a gun.

Looking back at the timing, I revise my thought. EagleFan's arrest came 24 minutes after the mission deadline. That makes me think the Sympathizers had an action they could do anytime during the day, and they simply waited to make sure we had committed too many people to the mission. In that case it's certainly possible they allowed us to shoot ourselves in our own foot, with the searchers all being villagers.
The three searchers at least had some rationale for being the ones to go, though they all bothered me with how quickly they chose to go despite the spot it put us in. TheNorm and PurdueBrad made me suspect in that neither of them had any obvious reason to insist on going at all. TheNorm explained that somewhat with his skill, which makes sense to me. PurdueBrad I'm not clear on. |

I'm working this mission angle since it's the only thing I've got right now. I looked back and recalled that Render had made me suspicious here. Not only jumping on the mission when it was already becoming clear that was going to be a problem. Both taking the opportunity to both throw suspicion at me and make it seem unpatriotic to not go on the mission. Given that this plays right into the Sympathizers' hands I wonder if this isn't a wolf play to 1) get another person on the mission, 2) make it a wolf, 3) encourage a line of thinking that will keep people on the mission and kill our chance at converting the camp, 4) Throw suspicion on a villager. |

I can explain, like I did before. #1 Nothing about that mission, since it said "any player", read to me that searchers got a boost. #2 Items are going to be big in this game, I truly believe, since we all have a slot for it in our initial intro. #3 I agreed with Danny regarding screwing the camp that day because it seemed like too uphill a battle and #4 I felt that, knowing Abe's games, there were likely some very good items out there.
And yeah, with nine people on the camp already and me with a 1 point work unit thought I could be spared to try and find something (even admitted I was going to be selfish). But I gave in and worked and didn't bitch when asked to work on a different part (although not really asked, it was just put out there). If you look at my track record in games that have a mission component or activity component, I always try to enjoy the game dynamic and rarely follow the herd for the sake of following the herd. I believe the dynamic usually offers a nice reward of some type even with the risk (see our first mission that guaranteed we won the camp). |

Jackal made clear that he was willing to entertain shifting off the mission, but only it turned out if Poli and REnder were around to do the same. So take that or leave it. However, Jackal joined the mission far after Render even, and I think at this point it was very clear that the mission was going to jeopardize our chance at the camps. I found it very odd that someone would jump on the mission at a point where weren't even sure we had enough numbers to cover the work at all. |

I had no idea it wouldn't be covered at the time. My actual thought process at the time was...I better jump on this mission or I'll hear about it later.
Who knew I'd hear about it because I actually went on it. I think I was on somewhat earlyish in the day...and wasn't able to get back until after the result. If that makes me guilty, I guess that makes me guilty. I had no idea we'd be in such trouble camp wise or I wouldn't have done it.

That's all I've dug up at this point. Hopefully it will get some discussion going. Poli went on the mission early and seemingly was away until after deadline. Not that that clears him, but there's nothing much to discuss there.
And indeed, as I said, it's possible these are all villagers and the Sympathizers simply took advantage of their actions. But I don't have another lead right now. |

because we needed the manpower? Seems like that was a hot topic at the time. Had I known we needed the hours or whatever they're called, I know I would have helped out. I'll help out where ever I'm needed.

I think someone figured out we needed 17 workers to pull it off, including all the specialists. I haven't run my own numbers yet.

An excellent question. There is no mechanic like last game where the first person to ask for them or something gets them. There is a mechanic in place, but it in behind the scenes.
