What's a desperation ploy? Defending myself?

You have a pretty good angle and reason to suspect me. There's nothing I can do about that except answer whatever questions people have. You have had lots of questions, Lathum, so I'm giving you lots of answers.

I can tell you that if I was a wolf and really wanted, for some reason, to use the rope to gain favor I would have had the wolves attack me. That would have been a pretty good way to look like a good guy. Whereas tying up the one good guy and not being attacked--hasn't worked in my favor so much.

There is an incentive, as a wolf, for you to create a tie. You know that either:
A. There will be no lynch, pretty good for the wolves
or
B. Autumn is likely to get duked by CR. Positing that Autumn is good in this scenario you have thus killed a villager why burning the duke's powers.

Also cartman's being a villager is unfortunate. But people need to contribute to the game. I mean at this point pretty much everyone but Poli and Martin have really contributed something. It creates a record. It's good for the game. Killing off the most active people I think is bad for the game in the long-run.

Nearly done with the Lathum post analysis, but it won't get finished until around 3 Central.

I think there's a fair chance that Lathum is a wolf. I think there's also a fair chance that the wolves are sitting back and letting this play out, not having to get involved and incriminate themselves. If Lathum is a villager, then they don't have to do anything, knowing that it will probably be either him or me at this point. If he's a wolf, they don't need to stick their noses out, they can just pop in and agree with the prevailing opinion and vote for me.

I would like to see everyone sticking their nose out here. Abe, Lerriuqs, Danny and I all voted for Clap day one. I've given my reasoning. Let's hear what some of the quieter folks are saying.

CR indicated there would be a lynch, and I trusted him.

As for who CR selects, that was totally out of my hands. I trusted Cartman to be a villager and was correct in that assumption.

You are completly glossing over the fact that my actions were in an attempt to save a known villager, while you were the driving force behind a villager getting lynched, then hiding behind the excuse that it doesn't matter because he wasn't active.

I have no idea how you can rationalize him being a villager doesn't matter. Whether he was active or not is irrelevant to the ratio we need to win. He was a positive piece of that equasion, so there is nothing good about his death.

I agree it would be good to hear from some of the less vocal people.

And I am beyond excited for BK's post analysis. Too bad I am not going to have the time to do one of him.

I still don't see the logic in this. Chief voted for Cartman. The lynch vote was going for Cartman. obviously his Duke orders would lynch Cartman.

You claim you were sure Cartman was good, but instead of convincing people to vote for me, you make it a tie, a tie which was sure to end up lynching Cartman if it went through.

If you were sure of Cartman, why would you trust Chief's judgment, which was that Cartman was bad?

I never said I was sure Carman was good, The only way I could be sure of that is if I was a wolf.

Stop trying to subtly paint that light on me,

Anyway off to class, look forward to catching up when I return

Obviously you didn't know anything the rest of us did, that's not my point. Let me use your language. You "trusted Cartman to be a villager" and yet instead of trying to convince others to change their votes, you made a tie at the last second that you knew would probably result in a lynch call made by Chief Rum. That doesn't make any sense, but you seem uninterested in actually addressing that point.

My head hurts. I trust Autumn, I do not trust Barkeep and Lathum. Barkeep and Lathum are fighting over which one of them is a wolf, Lathum is lumping Autumn into that group. I hate to agree with Barkeep after voting for him for days and no new information coming out against him. I guess I will wait for his analysis to come out before I make a decision.

Buzz. I don't do desperation plays. And you know as well as anyone I'm willing to turn on my own team to protect myself. If I was a wolf and Autumn had gotten caught, I'd be more likely to lead the charge than I would be to go after you.

I voted for Clap when he had not revealed. I was on until deadline and had no reason to change my vote with Chief stating he would duke if Clap was lynched and Lathum breaking the tie anyway. I didn't see any point in artificially looking good by making a pointless switch after things had been decided.

I'm caught up. It might be far fetched but Autumn and Lathum almost sounds like two wolves arguing. I actually see Barkeep as playing very reasonable today with his logic although I'm still not sure I buy was Autumn is saying.

I gave my reasoning then. Clap did not reveal as the seer until after my vote and I'd already left. I'm not around at the deadline any day and so I couldn't change it. I voted to clap to avoid the no lynch scenario for Day 1.

983 – Thinks Autumn’s defense is too neat

1010 – Feels that people who know there are items are still going to feel Autumn is either BG or lying about the ropes ability
1032 – Wonders why I am alive. If they were scared of rope why not attack me?
1034 – In a broken dola, if he’s off on Autumn look at me instead. Feels PB is agreeable plus he cast an early vote on hoops
1035 – People have been suspicious of him all game, so wolves wouldn’t want to kill him
1037 – Feels he’d be easier for wolves to lynch than me. Also points out I drove vote against cartman, a villager. Why would he switch at the last minute last night?
1039 – Defends voting record. Feels leaving vote on clap or Abe after reveal is more suspicious
1043 – Feels I am burying my vote by staying on Abe
1047 – Asks me to state why a wolf would switch his vote

Top 4 things which strike me as "off" about Lathum after reading all his posts, in no particular order:
1. Was critical early on, and continued to be critical later on, of people who voted for Hoops, yet after CR revealed, he also voted for hoops, rather than trying to get someone else lynched. If he's a wolf, it seems like he was trying to get rid of a valued villager, while still getting credit for defending a valuable villager.
2. He has twice done last minute shaninigans with voting. And for opposite reasons. Once to create a tie, once to break it.
3. His interaction with Pass feels wrong. He voted quickly for Pass, for no reason, and then, for revenge changes his vote to clap. It struck me as fishy at the time, but doubly so when we found out Pass is bad. Further, by arguing with Pass over a non-game matter he creates even further distance. This conflict between wolves is a staple of Lathum's wolf play.
4. The amount of players who has been very suspicious of, we're not talking unease here we're talking full-on distrust, is almost as long as the player list.


Mitigating factors to the above 4 reasons:
1. I believe he really was ready to quit the game, suggesting that the argument with Pass might not have been staged.
2. The amount of players who has been very suspicious of, we're not talking unease here we're talking full-on distrust, is almost as long as the player list. Why engender ill will among so many people if you're a wolf?

I plan on doing a post analysis of Abe tonight, since despite my quasi-defense of him yesterday I do think he's worth of some scrutiny. I don't know if these analysis help anyone else but it's been useful for me to try and see the arc of a players actions.

Vote Lathum

I realize this will probably earn me some scorn from lathum, but his play has been off to me the entire game and I think there's a decent chance he and both Autumn are wolves. Plus frankly, a runaway for Autumn tells us very little at the end of the day and a closer vote helps us more.

I am not dead set on my vote at this point, but hopefully the closer vote will get some others into the light with their voting and not create a meaningless runaway vote.

855 is anohter one of the things I found odd. Lathum acted surprised and worried about Purdue making a tie and then as soon as that tie was broken he made another.

His general play/voting, but more specifically, the episode with pass and then after the whole episode he kind of played the fool. I remember a couple posts, CR pointed out one himself where Lathum basically asked a question or appeared to not know what's going on when a player with his skill clearly would.

And it just seems like he is trying to get suspicion on as many people as possible.

And while I do believe his considering quitting the game, this happened a few games ago with another player who turned out to be a wolf. At the time I said there was no way he was a wolf because of him wanting to quit, but I'm not going to assume that a second time.

Although I must say that was my general feel throughout the game, I didn't go back and analyze each post like BK :P

This is what has struck me. I haven't played with Lathum enough to know, and I wasn't sure how to say it without possibly offending, but it seemed like he has been kind of playing stupid. My impression is that Lathum is a very smart player, and that he's acting like he doesn't understand things that he probably does.

Yay! Someone loves me enough to look at my old posts!

Soon it will be back to the office work (dinner and putting kids to bed). I will be checking in but so far today I haven't found a better suspect so I'll put a vote in.

VOTE LATHUM

VOTE Lathum

I'm willing to give Barkeep a flyer today. I think Lathum's play has been wolfish, however if Lathum turns out to be good I'll be back on my Barkeep push tomarrow.

I think at some point we have to look at Poli and figure out why in the hell he isn't adding any content to the discussion. He is not playing his normal game at all.

I don't understand this logic at all.

You are suspicous of BK all game. BK comes out defending and siding with Autumn, and to this point is the only person who says he DIDN"T think Autumn was claiming BG. Yet you side with him on voting me?

Makes no sense.

You guys want to lynch me I am fine with that, I am a plain villager and at least we wont kill the BG. But IMO the link between BK and Autumn is to strong.

You're really stretching now. So because we happened to be the only ones who check out the first page of the game for updates, we're obviously both wolves? Or even somehow connected? How does two people thinking of or noticing the same thing mean there's some sort of "connection"?

I was actually hoping to see some conversation about barkeep. Instead, I have autumn vs. Lathum, with barkeep mixed in.

BK's summary of Lathum's posts and the rest of his analysis appears helpful to us, but I think I've taken things like that from BK as helpful only to get screwed in the end.

The problem for me is this: I felt certain Autumn was a villager yesterday until I started reading about this rope thing. Now I'm not so sure. I seriously don't think Lathum's a bad guy because, and as BK pointed out, the drama that ensued after Pass. That's a little meta gaming maybe, I don't know.

I guess I still like BK for one of the wolves...so I guess I'll vote autumn as they seem to be kind of in the same corner.

VOTE AUTUMN

If he's a wolf, it seems like he was trying to get rid of a valued villager, while still getting credit for defending a valuable villager.

I had exactly 29 minutes to do that, not much time. I switched to Hoops because a tie would have been a bad thing and someone had to go out on a limb. I have repeatedly stated as a wolf I leave it as a tie in that spot and force the villages to redo day 1.

2. He has twice done last minute shaninigans with voting. And for opposite reasons. Once to create a tie, once to break it.

and wolves always make plays like that to draw attention to themselves.


Quote:
3. His interaction with Pass feels wrong. He voted quickly for Pass, for no reason, and then, for revenge changes his vote to clap. It struck me as fishy at the time, but doubly so when we found out Pass is bad. Further, by arguing with Pass over a non-game matter he creates even further distance. This conflict between wolves is a staple of Lathum's wolf play.

not out of game conflict
Quote:
4. The amount of players who has been very suspicious of, we're not talking unease here we're talking full-on distrust, is almost as long as the player list.

like I said, sometimes I think out loud

Lathum, you are pushing for Autumn not Barkeep. I am not willing to risk the death of Autumn today. If it turns out Autumn is good and we kill him we just killed, not the bodyguard, but a bodyguard. His rope works as a bodyguard would as far as we have been told. I am not willing to take that chance. I think we learn the most from either your death today or Barkeep, we would also learn a little from an Autumn death but I will not stand for that. Thus the vote for you and not Barkeep. A vote for you is a vote for Autumn to live, and like I said earlier I trust Autumn right now I do not trust you or Barkeep.
