VOTE JeeberD

Alright guys, time to watch which ones bandwagon on this vote... or bandwagon on the eventual vote on me.

Hmmm, knowingly wanting to lynch a villager is quite suspicious.

Although, I agree about the bandwagon jumpers.

[Fouts]

I see no logical reason to vote for Blackadar, but Raiders Army and kingfc22 voted for him quickly after mrsimperless put his name out there.

Something to ponder.

[Raven]

I think most of us were really looking forward to playing the game. Being lynched on day 1 would really suck.

Since we have nothing to go on, and day 1 voting is purely random, my vote is going to go to someone who hasn't posted yet. Mainly because I know I'd be pissed if I waited a week to play, only to get sent home before I got a chance to actually play.

That leaves Buzzbee, Schmidty, and Suicane as options for me. I'll give each of them a little more time to drop in before I vote.

[mrsimperless]

I wouldn't worry about hurting someone's feelings. It's just a game and I'm sure there will be opportunities to play again.

I am however concerned about finding a wolf to lynch and not lynching my fellow townspeople.

I'm not sure what to think about the people who haven't checked in yet. I really only see a few possible options for them.

1) They are a wolf and laying low is part of their strategery.
2) They will not be checking in at all and will be replaced by alternates. They could easily be either wolf or townsperson in this scenario.
3) They are dealing with RL right now and will be checking in before vote time. They could easily be either wolf or townsperson in this scenario.

I actually don't see option #1 as being very likely at this point. We have all expressed our distrust for the "quiet ones". Any smart wolfie would have checked in by now if he was online today. Therefore I'm concluding that it's actually MORE likely that these three aren't wolves at this point, albeit by a slight margin. (Option #3 makes the most sense I believe) I think that it's definitely still a crapshoot at this point. I voted for Blackie because he's a butt sniffer. It was more for shits and giggles than anything else. My vote is definitely still up for grabs.

Obviously you missed the butt-sniffing and whatnot...and my post saying better him than me. I have no idea who is a wolf. I know I'm not one, but that doesn't help. In lieu of any better ideas, I jumped on the bandwagon.

Aww, come on. You know I wasn't really pointing a finger at you. If I had, there would have been a vote involved.

I'm gonna withhold my vote for now and hope that someone slips up and admits something...

Interesting point, Fouts...

Since I won't be back from class until after the deadline, I have to go with what is out there. This is the best source of information so far. I'm going with what henry has witnessed.

I vote for Schmidty

[KWhit]

Current vote tally:

Blackadar: 3 (mrsimperless, Raiders Army, Kingfc22)
Buzzbee: 2 (Thomkal, Token Asian Guy)
Schmidty: 2 (heybrad, Fouts)
JeeberD: 1 (Neon_Chaos)

[Blackadar]

[kingfc22]

home for lunch and I see that some still have not reached the mountain...

UNVOTE BLACKADAR


VOTE SCHMIDTY

[henry296]

VOTE Raiders Army

I like Mrsimperless' analysis. Plus the better him than me, sounds wolf-like.

[mrsimperless]

Well, my original plan was to change my vote if everyone piled on top of Blackadar and vote for one of the bandwagoneers, assuming that the wolves were hiding in there somewhere. But now I'm less decided on the issue. First of all, there hasn't been a pile-on. The voting is pretty close at this point. Secondly, Fouts has made me suspect that I may have gotten extremely lucky and tagged a wolf right off the bat.

We all know that today is pretty much a random vote. These initial "speculations" are nothing more than shots in the dark for the most part. There is very little reason to actually accuse anyone of any werewolfery at this point in the game.

However, it seems there is even LESS of a reason to actually DEFEND someone else on day 1. Unless of course you are a werewolf trying to help a brutha' out...

Something to ponder.

While it could be argued that he isn't actually defending Blackadar here, it definitely looks like he is at least trying to shift the focus away. That coupled with the fact that there hasn't really been a "pile-on" for Blackie makes me think we may have hit the jackpot on day one...

For those of you that are still considering the no-shows, I agree with the fundamental logic behind this. Werewolves will probably want to be as inconspicuous as they can so as not to attract attention and possible votes their way. However, I don't think the three absentees are very inconspicuous at all right now. If I were using this line of reasoning to vote today I think I would look for those that no one is noticing. Take George Bush for example. He posted very early this morning (2:54 AM), didn't have much to say ("mountains=fun") and nobody has mentioned his name since. If he's trying not to be noticed he is doing a great job right now. And the late night activity always sends off alarm bells for me. Werewolves post on message boards at 2:54 in the morning while townspeople are sleeping.

My vote stays at Blackadar right now. If I were to change it at this point it would be for someone like George rather than our three unfamiliar friends.

[JeeberD]

I kinda suprised about George W's silence so far. He's a veteran of these things, he should know that staying quiet early would shed a bad light on him.

Of course, the same thing can be said for Schmidty and he hasn't posted AT ALL. So for now, at least...

Vote Schmidty

[henry296]

I'm not suspicious yet of Schmidty of GWB since they haven't posted in other threads today.

[Raven]

If my current count is correct, this is where we stand

Blackadar 2 (MrSimplerless, RaidersArmy)
Buzzbee 2(Thomkal, Token Asian Guy)
Schmidty 4(heybrad, Fouts, Kingfc, JeeberD)
JeeberD 1(Neon_chaos)
RaidersArmy 1 (henry)

[Raven]

I said i'd vote for one of the no-shows, so I'll stick to that for now.

Vote Buzzbee

[Lathum]

Wow, I thought the Blackader bandwagon was getting going. If I was in this game I would vote for Jeebs, his post count is high enough without getting him involved in this monster.

[JeeberD]

Geez, thanks Lathum...

[Raiders Army]

What the hell does that have to do with me? Just be glad I can't lynch you alone...I'll remember this tomorrow!

No problem

[mrsimperless]

Well, I'm off to play some poker and won't be able to post any more tonight. Apparently my analysis wasn't received too well as Blackadar is behind in the vote count right now.

But remember this - if I'm killed tonight it just might be that I was getting too close to the truth. If that happens I hope everyone knows what to do next.

Sorry y'all, been in training all day at the new job. But we all know that werewolves are too busy eating people to hold down jobs.

[digamma]

Put me in, coach.
I'm ready to play.
Look at me.
I can be............

What time zone are you in? That was at 9:54 last night (central).

[Joe]

A few things. I'm not so sure we can point the fingers at the quiet ones and automatically assume they're the werewolves. They probably know people think this way and would make an effort to be some of the more outspoken ones (actually that was my strategy in the first game), so you never know.

At this stage in the game, we have nothing to go on, just by what people say. Since we don't positively know or have clues about the roles of anyone, it strikes me as suspicious why Fouts would try to shift attention away from Blackadar. The only way he would know what Blackadar really is, would be if they were wolves or one was the cultist. He could be the seer i guess, but the odds are unlikely that his view would be the same 1/15 or however many people as is getting the heat. The first vote is always a stab in the dark, so why would he do this? I would vote for Fouts, but since it appears they are in it together and Blackadar has more votes:

I Vote Blackadar

[JeeberD]

Georgie (and mrsimperless before him) makes some good points.

Unvote Schmidty

Vote Blacky

[Blackadar]

The fact that you were very quick to jump on the bandwagon made me suspicious.

Jeez, now I think about it, I think that you're like me. Your reasoning is sound, and somebody who might think I'm a werewolf might actually be one of my allies. Then again, that old enemy of my enemy is my friend thing...

[Blackadar]

[JeeberD]

You know I didn't for you based on personal issues, Blacky. I have no problems with you...

The reason I voted for you is what George W and simperles brought up...Fouts was awfully quick to defend you, unusually so. It has just raised some questions in my mind about who you are...

[kingfc22]

Nah, Blacky is good. I say vote Schimidty.

[kingfc22]

it's lyncihn' time!!

#1 - Nope. Sorry.
#2 - Ding! Ding! Ding!
#3 - Nope.

I didn't respond because I never signed up to play. I simply don't have the time or desire. Also, I haven't been around as much the past few days so I didn't know I had been assigned a role. I did follow along at the end of Werewolf II, and did make suggestions regarding the roles, but I don't have much interest in getting involved at this time. Perhaps later. I'm sure Kwhit will assign an alternate in my place. Good luck to all the players and I hope this turns out to be as entertaining as the last.

Buzzbee

[Raiders Army]

So then Buzzbee violates the rules and comes out and says he isn't a wolf? Or is this a ploy...

I'm going to bed. See you guys in the morning!

[Thomkal]

Well that was a wasted vote then.

[Schmidty]

Hi everyone. I am a simple goat-herder and was too afraid to speak out in front of such magnificent people as yourselves. I can't even grow a beard.

[Schmidty]

I vote Blackadar, as he is extremely sensssssitive.

[Buccaneer]

And on a personal note, I think I'll stay out of these in the future. I'm incredulous that some people seem to have some (interpersonal) issues and would rather kick me out over someone who isn't even playing the game. So I suppose this is my first and last time...

What part of "a game of accusation, deduction, lying, reverse psychology, bandwagoning, and trying not to get lynched" did you not understand?

Unless...

Exactly. Hence, my vote.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh sorry, wrong thread

[Barkeep49]

Isn't it time for the rope to have come out? The first day is always the saddest, I think.

Buzzbee

Well geez, I guess my perception skills need a little honing, the guy who I voted for isn't even playing! Now I am faced with a predicament in terms of voting though, because some good points have been made in favor of lynching Blackadar, but I have the sneaking suspicion that Blackadar is not a wolf. Here is the updated vote for me. (if it's not too late)


UNVOTE BUZZBEE
VOTE BLACKADAR

[Blackadar]

[JeeberD]

I think that votes can be submitted up until the lynching is done, but I'm not certain...

Edit: At least that's how Peregrine did it in his games, I'm not sure how KWhit is gonna handle it...

[Token Asian Guy]

Oh crap, I was hoping I would sneak that one by. Good catch Blackadar, you might have saved yourself by seeing that.

[Token Asian Guy]

dola

where is KWhit, I thought he said 8:00 pm was the deadline? what time zone is he working with?

[Buzzbee]

Tornado warning for Conyers. My guess is that he will be unavailable for a while. He might have even lost power. Bad storms passing through parts of the A-T-L.

[Schmidty]

I thought it was 8 p.m. PST. My bad. I forgot that the east coast rules our universe.
