Werewolf XLVIII - The horror of sorcery hill (Game over)

Just as a good exercise in checking your assumptions, who do you think is a wolf if you accept that I'm not a wolf and that I'm pushing (again) in the wrong direction here?

It is sort of colored by today's vote, since up to now I've tended to think Barkeep was a villager. But to answer your question, I would look in the grouping of Chief/ntn/Ardent area.

I don't buy that Pass is a wolf, nor that you are, so I am comfortable with your move from that perspective.

I just can't believe that one of the most astute players around doesn't see how dire our situation is.

Why do I keep thinking the deadline is 10:30? Crap. Catching up.

Our situation has been dire, BK. We can't be any more on the precipice than we already are. I believe both AE and hoopsguy are villagers. Path never had the votes--the one time we thought he did, it was a miscount by hoops. So a villager wass going to die today no matter what. If I do nothing, hoops dies and we learn nothing. If I try to switch to another candidate to see if we can get some revealing vote moves (which I think we most definitely did), we gain soemthing from what otherwise would be a worthless lynch.

[hoopsguy]

Wow, all nine players are in the room right now.

I didn't want to appear to be avoiding this question, but my previous post tot his one essentially covers it.

[Poli]

Yep, I'm here temporarily.

[RendeR]

Yeah, this game has completely taken me over as a WW fan. I used to think it was just an annoying post whoring plot, but damn if this isn't a blast =)

[Poli]

What tha???

DID I JUST GET AXED?

[Poli]

DUDE, THAT'S BS!!!

[Poli]

DUDE, and I HAVE TOMORROW FOR TRAINING. That's going to suck mightily. How will I spend my time now?

THANKS FELLAS!

[Alan T]

Another day passes, this time the conversations are just as heated, another potion is thrown and many of you feel just as lost and clueless as you started out as. Its very clear that your time is running out here, and you would give anything to be able to call upon the late school master's wisdom to help guide you today what to do.

All kind of verbal debate is thrown back and forth, with the attention going back and forth between Path, Lonestargirl, Hoopsguy and then suddenly Ardent. Finally, getting tired of all of the disagreement, Passacaglia once again takes a step forward with his backpack and reaches inside of it. Fully expecting yet another potion to be thrown by him, he instead pulls out a small knife that he must have picked up from nearby and stabs it directly into Ardent's gut. He twists the knife while watching Ardent's blank expression (almost as if he wasn't even here, but instead watching tv or something).

Finally Ardent collapses to the floor, and Passacaglia looks through his stuff... He sighs and stands up shrugging as if in defeat... Suddenly someone cries out, "Look.. his arm!".. You don't know how you missed it before, but on his arm suddenly is glowing a symbol, one you dare not describe.. a symbol of that of a person who was a member of the evil sect looking to kill you all.. Ardent apparently was not one of you, and thankfully is now dead.

Day 4 is now over. Night time has begun. Deadline is 9am EST tommorrow morning. Please by this time PM me with which room you wish to spend tonight in as well as any night actions you may have, or magical items that you may have with a night time usage property.

[LoneStarGirl]

Sorry Ardent

[Poli]

[Passacaglia]

NICE!!!!

[hoopsguy]

Well that feels good.

[Poli]

Thanks LSG.

[LoneStarGirl]

oh wow
we just got lucky as hell

So, so wrong.

[Chief Rum]

Let me be the first to apologize, AE. It was I who led this charge. I had good reason, but I doubt you would like it. IT really didn't have much to do with your goodness or evilness.

It would help tons, though, if you're a wolf.

why are you so convinced this was a worthless lynch. I agree that AE wasnt my first choice but he was pretty far up there.

[hoopsguy]

Heh, someone is getting the mercury I passed back to Ardent today I figured if he passed it to me then the wolves must not need it all that much.

[LoneStarGirl]

Ardent you played a great wolf... good game

[ntndeacon]

woohoo! nice going y'all. This gives us a touch of room, we still have our work cut out for us though.

[Alan T]

Just a note, I have a few daytime Pms that did not impact the lynch or lynch decision that I need to process real quick now. They will be assumed to have happened before the lynch for game purposes however.

Because I didn't think he was a wolf. At least no more than I felt about any of the other top candidates. I didn't vote for him to prove he's a wolf. I voted for him to screw with the wolves' minds.

And it worked.

The fact AE actually is a wolf is just a tremendously incredible bonus.

So are you voting for me again tomorrow? Just curious ...

[Passacaglia]

Man, I am so pumped! Can you feel it, village?

lol...okay, thanks for being a wolf.

[Poli]

Everyone, I want to thank you for the great game and never seriously considering me a bad guy. It was refreshing. Seriously. Unfortunately, it came at a time when I was genuinely a bad guy. Fortunately, I only had one bad dream this entire time.

My schedule, honestly, was the truth. It's been pretty crazy. The only reason I'm here temporarily as I put it...my wife's got the 4400 on pause right now so she can go wash her hair and let it dry during the remainder.

I never lied about my schedule. It's been crazy and will continue to be as my company has me going everywhere in a 100 mile radius of my home.

Good thing they're paying for the car and gas.

Again, thanks, and good luck to the good and bad guys. It was fun.

Given the two late switches, I wonder if the wolves didn't all unite on me but still were spread out. I'm guessing this is a topic best left for tomorrow, but I want to come back to it at some point.

[Barkeep49]

I'll be curious to discuss with people after the game if the feel my move on to ardent was the right thing in that situation. I'm still not convinced it was.

[Chief Rum]

My top candidate: Render.

When the AE thing started to role forward, he tried to put the nail in hoops' coffin by switching to him.

After that, tougher to say. I will need to do more analysis.

[Passacaglia]

I hope this isn't changing gears too much from our celebration, but it looks like that eternal bond potion didn't do anything.

[Poli]

Tomorrow, fwiw, will be a day of me programming an air conditioning controller (VAV, variable air volume). I have to send my code to some guy somewhere who will grade it.

In the past I spent 6 hours here and 2 hours on the work. Now I guess I have 8 fulls hours to devote.

Thanks for the fun, it was enjoyable.

[Alan T]

(4) Hoopsguy - Path (842), Lonestargirl (925), ardent (973), Render (1026)
(5) Ardent - Chief Rum (1006), Hoopsguy (1014), Ntndeacon (1015), Barkeep (1058), Passacaglia (1071)

Official final vote count

FTR I never doubted your schedule. Just the way you voted with-in that schedule

[path12]

Man, action packed ending. I'm feeling much better about Chief, obviously.

Yeah, there have been a lot of schedule jokes, but I for one never doubted you have just been tremendously busy. You have never been the type to lie period (I found you to be brutally honest, if not in a Hell Atlantic sorta way), much less lie for advantage in a silly online game. I wouldn't think for a seocnd you would lie about outside of the game stuff.

Well played, and I wish I had actually "sniffed" you out. In actuality, we just got lucky.

In all the excitement, we may have glazed over this sentence. Brilliant,Alan!

[Chief Rum]

I'm going to try to do some analysis tonight. I think it's likely I will be dead in the morning.

[Poli]

Good luck to all of ya. Back to the 4400, wife's back. Don't tell me how it ends.

[hoopsguy]

Will be interesting - they have some choices to make tonight that probably won't be possession-driven.

[Passacaglia]

I think another person we need to look at is LSG. She's been railing into hoops for a while now, and he's really gone up in my estimation.

Why are you feeling better about chief? He voted for ardent when it looked like he had nobody following him. Tomorrow we should look at Render and C.R.

[ntndeacon]

I am not. he admits he was throwing a lone vote out there on someone he believed to be good. In fact iwill go as far to say that there was little improvement of trust values for all of us who voted for AE...(even though we got a wolf) Barkeep and Pass were already thought of as good by most. Chief's own admission of his belief of AE's goodness. It could be said hoops was saving his skin. and it looks as if I was just following hoops lead.
