The choice was whether to help (or not to help) the elementary school teacher with a counting lesson. Once I agreed to help with the counting lesson I got my orders on how to post in the thread, starting with a one word post and proceeding up to a ten word post. Thus my flurry of post-deadline short posts yesterday. I did receive notification on my "reward" for this. I'm not convinced that it has a ton of value (given the format of this game) but I guess it is better than a sharp stick in the eye. |

BK and PB didn't make it back to the boat in time yesterday because they went slowly in their kayaks, but they are both back today after spending the night in a hotel. SY was taken off by the police, there is a theory that it might have been because of evidence planted by the underground since Anxiety was approached by the underground today and was told if he chose not to join them (which is what he said he did), that they would frame him by planting evidence at a crime scene. SY is presumably back on the boat, now. Swaggs was voted off by a large majority but he seems to have been innocent. Lathum said he saw ropes cut, and people are wondering if he made this up as a ploy to give out wolf information in order to gain trust. mccollins got stung by a stingray and is presently being cured by something ntndeacon found, i imagine. |

Hoops, do you think you can connect your choice to what Anxiety has put forth? For example, is there any reason to believe that had you made a different choice, that you would have been converted?

Well, I certainly wasn't under the impression that I was going to be blackmailed by the elementary school teacher. I was given a choice of helping or not helping. I suspect the two options are pretty different. But who knows, if I stiffed the teacher then maybe a member of the underground would have seen it and been alerted I was a good candidate to contact? I honestly have no idea ... I took the choice I thought was most likely to ensure a "villager" result. |

Well, you could use them to test the idea of "planting drugs" on someone. This is what I thought of when reading Swaggs' posts earlier today and Anxiety's stuff seems to validate that this is an option. I'm wondering how that would work if the Police got a member of the Underground. I'm curious to see what Sonic Youth has to say for himself when he returns. There was nothing in his posts yesterday that remotely suggested he was blackmailed, so I'm of the opinion (for now, anyway) that he was not arrested by the Police for drug possession. If he was, then there are at least three sets of drugs out there so far - the ones Swaggs had, the ones used to "trap" Sonic Youth, and the ones being used to threaten Anxiety. BTW, sorry for hijacking your post that I quoted with a different train of thought ... |

I think Anxiety said something like "scene of a crime" which does sound like a different plotline.

Pass - if the drugs are what Swaggs said they are (a knockout agent), then I recommend using them, and I think it almost doesn't matter who you use them on. You can use them on me, if you want. What I'm thinking, is, it might be possible for the drugs to have a different use for wolves as opposed to villagers, in which case passing them around might be too risky.

I think I'm going to pass the drugs (with a condition). Can I get a little vote for confidence from everyone? Maybe something like a 3-person list, and I'll give three points for a 1st place vote, 2 for a 2nd, 1 for 3rd, and whoever has the most points gets them. Sound fair?

Oh did Swaggs already say that's what they were? There goes my idea to wait a while before revealing that. Anyway, my thinking is to have the person I pass the drugs to use them on me. |

I think the whole point of passing them is to make it so the wolves don't KNOW who they were passed to. But somebody back on day 1 or 2 suggested that the wolves might have to collect certain items in order to win, that's why I'm suggesting using them instead of passing them. Unless destroying them is an option.

dola- Making up a story about the ropes really makes no sense at all. It's not like I needed a reason to try and gain trust. It's pretty early to start playing games.

Yup, welcome to getting caught up. In about 3 hours we are going to find out if I am force converted, killed, wounded, attacked, escorted by the police, or whatever.

Okay, looks like two men, one very large. They are "underground henchmen" and not necessarily underground themselves. One has a gun. Any questions before i load up a computer game?

I wasn't asking if it was true, I was asking if there was something I had missed. Path's absence, and the other stuff doesn't seem to be wolf-connected, or if it is, the connection is not obvious.
For my part, I think Lathum would make up that story IF the wolves thought that whoever had cut the ropes had been spotted. |

I don't think I'm pushing this too hard at all. All I'm trying to find out is if anyone can verify your story. If so, great. If not, then you lied and we lynched Swaggs because of it and I think that would rightly put you under some suspicion.

Dola, I shouldn't say definitely that you lied, because we know that both stories might have been true. But it would certainly look a lot better if anybody else either noticed the cut ropes or you fixing them.

Alright, I'm back. Between the kayak trip where we got left behind and spent the night in the hotel to coming home from work IRL to find no power for three hours, I'm finally back.
I apparently watched television in my room and went swimming but saw nothing while you guys were on your trips. Sitting back for a day, not posting and just reading/watching posts has been a bit enlightening and over the last twenty-four hours, there have been some plays that pinged my radar. I'm going to go through a couple more times tonight and see which are the strongest. |

No, I was specifically told I could not in my pm. Thus I passed it as soon as I got my pm, hoping to save it for our team. I will not tell to whom, and O hope that person does not volunteer that info. Ask mccollins who gave me half for verification, because he can tell you that it had the ptoential to be quite good.

In fact, i suspect that it may be the most potent item we've found. If not, its up there.

This is why my personal CoT has mccollins at the top. A wolf would not have let go of half of this.

Although, now that I've blown their cover, the best thing for the underground to do is not to do anything to me, let me go, and you guys will kill me suspecting that I've been force converted.

Another thing on Lathum. Early on, he seemed to draw conclusions from some pretty shaky evidence (like saying he trusted st. cronin, etc.). What I'd like to know is why? I have some ideas why he would do this, but I don't want to throw them out there for him to pick one and roll with it.
