I suggested Tyrith on day two, obviously not now. I think he meant Telle who I did suggest today as I think she is a wolf either way. |

Danny, I agree, Telle is quite possibly a wolf but I think the ONLY way we solve this is to lynch Lathum and then if he turns up good, you nightkill dubb.
At least that way we 100% guaranteed get a wolf. IF Lathum turns up wolf, you can nightkill the person that we 'believe' today although I think we're still waiting for three people to man (or woman) up. |

For what it is worth Danny, I'm actually believing that Hoops is likely a villager.

Danny, the wolves are going to have a ton of freedom to manipulate the vote no matter which way we go if it is 6-5. Even if it is 7-4 they still have a lot of room to move around, but we at least have some margin for error.
The above plan gives them a smidge more freedom but I think it is almost splitting hairs when talking about 6-5 versus 5-5 if we have a villager/wolf showdown. And, with the plan above we learn more from the lynch than any other scenario I can concoct. But I'll defer to the cleared masses. I accept that anything I propose is going to be viewed with (best case) skepticism to (worst case) outright disdain, but I really am trying to win a game here even if it may not look like it based on results. |

This doesn't really work because if Dubb is lying we are at end game and lynching Lathum does cost us the game. |

So you think we're 6-5, meaning we started this game 13-4 and with a cultist (so really, for the most part 12-5), I really don't think so. Even if we're wrong, I don't think one lynch makes end game but putting off the dubb/Lathum debate till tomorrow does not work IMHO. So yeah, I think it is going to come down to you or dubb today and, at least my way of lynch Lathum Danny can nightkill dubb if we're wrong works because if we do it in reverse, we can't nightkill you and I'm not wasting the believe on you when I plan on nailing down a different possible wolf with it. |

Hoops, who do you think the wolves are then. You've been adamant Racer and Dubb are both not wolves and you know you're not a wolf, who could it be then as that would only leave Dubb, Telle, USFL and Schmidty

Telle sure is quiet, I think she has to be a wolf, if we lynch Lathum I want her to be the believed target.

Pure gut tells me that Dubb is a wolf. I just do not buy his moving versions of the Duke. But I don't think we are getting that lynch today. If we are at end-game with him as a wolf then I'm pretty sure we lose. So I'm hoping that we are not at endgame or that Dubb is telling the truth. In that case, the wolves would have to be Lathum, Telle, Schmidty, USFL, and Racer. If there are only four wolves then that would allow one of those names to fall off the list. I've maintained that Dubb/Racer were almost certainly on opposite teams because Racer put Dubb in jeopardy (blowing his duke story) at the end of Day 3. No way in hell they are wolves together. I also thought wolf Racer would want to push villager Dubb on the off chance that he might find himself getting out of a tie. Why not, if you are going down, right? I suppose villager/villager between those two is possible but it just seems remote given how few people there are to fill the "wolf musical chairs". So the assumption that they were on separate teams made sense. What doesn't jive with that, and what I've been struggling with, is Lathum coming out (after being fingered as a wolf) and targeting Racer. There are really on two explanations for it if Dubb is good: 1.) Racer really is a villager, something that wolf Lathum would know 2.) Racer is a wolf along with Lathum, and Lathum is hoping to buy him some trust later by creating separation between them now. Anyway, I've wrapped my head around this game quite a bit over the past couple of days ... well, when I wasn't enjoying a really awesome Chicago weekend. And I've come to the conclusion that I really don't have any idea how we win this game. That said, we may as well try to create the best possible scenarios that we have a chance to execute. We probably need to be both lucky and good down the stretch to win given the margin right now. The only thing we have going for us is that our original roles remain intact despite the growing body count for "vanilla V.I.L.L.A.G.E.R.". |

Yea, normally the tie can't be broken until the lynch vote is in. It would be kinda silly to break the tie before it is official.

Because at that point I didn't think Lerriuqs was a wolf (which, for the record, was correct).
I had left my vote on Lerri earlier because I would potentially have needed to protect myself for self-defense by having the vote on either Lerri or Racer. If Racer was in the lead and someone tied me up with Racer then I could not save myself by moving my vote to the other leader. Up to this point, I think that thought process is identical for a villager who believes they need to stay alive or a wolf. NTN put his vote on Lerri, making the margin 5-4 Racer vs Lerri. Racer had his vote elsewhere and was looking at moving it to Lerri to create the tie. At that point, I saw late movement onto a candidate that I was on and towards a guy that wasn't around at the deadline. That strongly suggest a late attempt by the wolves to work their way out of the lynch. I had been suspicious of Dubb getting as much trust up to that point. I'll pull posts if you need me to support this. I was not then, or now, convinced that he was a villager and I saw an opportunity to clear myself with a late switch from what I thought was a villager to what I thought was a wolf. This is not something that I would have done as a wolf. I would have sat tight, since I was on a villager in a tie (still do not know what side Racer was on). But I made what I would consider a very aggressive play that I thought would be helpful for the village. Was there risk? Sure, I could have completely read the situation wrong and Lerri could have been a wolf. But that was risk I was willing to take. What I did not count on was being a second late, having it stay a tie, having the Dubb/duke thing go haywire, and everything else that has unfolded since then. |

Because you are alive at this stage in the game. What else have you given us in the thread to work with to help prove your innocence or dispute your guilt? We haven't found a wolf yet, we have a medium/large (depending on how good it is) COT, and you are one of the people not in it. I actually think you are getting less discussion as a wolf than just about anyone who has not been cleared ... well, maybe a tie with USFL in that regard. |

I see how a few people might be cleared, but I don't get how others aren't, including you. I know I haven't said much, but I don't really have anything to say. I'm observing like normal. To be quite honest, this game's rules have me not trusting anyone more than any other game I've ever played.

Schmidty, I'm about as far from cleared as you get without being a declared wolf. So me being suspicious of you, or at least lumping you in groups of potential wolves, is probably helping garner you trust with some of the others.

I get that, and I suppose I understand people calling me out. I just know what I am, so I am a bit touchy about it. That is so lame, but I don't know what else to say. I'd add analysis, but I'd just be pulling stuff out of my ass. "Trust" was establish at the beginning of the game, arbitrarily, and that makes me skittish. I hate assuming that the reality of this game is what it is. Wolves could have created the whole start, and we are just lambs to the slaughter. Meh, I don't what else to say.

Not going to happen. I'm not going to offer myself up to be night killed so that you can lose the game for us by killing a villager. And why am I drawing more heat than the other UTR players? Danny, you seem so SURE that I'm a wolf.. only way for you to really know one way or the other is by either being a seer or a wolf yourself. And if you hadn't already been cleared, I'd be doubting your allegiance right about now. But that reminds me.. did dubb ever actually scan PurdueBrad? |

Lathum, give this idea thought for a moment. Let's say you are good but you are the fake seer and Racer ends up good, what have we accomplished. IMHO, you should at least be voting on dubb.

Yeah I agree it's a bit ridiculous that you are drawing a lot more heat then Schmidty, USFL, and Saldana (who chose to kill ntndeacon over guys like Hoops, Lathum, and dubb). I'm most suspicious of Schmidty (based on how he voted the 1st two days), but I don't trust any of you four at this point. |

I'm honestly not sure. It just seems like everyone is 100% trusting PB and his scans, which could be dangerous. At least dubb is already being questioned. It could be that PB is a wolf and knew that there was no false seer in the game. So he claims seer knowing that there's only one other seer out there who then won't contest the claim since there can be a false seer. I don't know if it's the most likely scenario, but I think trusting him completely without question might not be the best way to go. I would feel better if he had been scanned. Still wouldn't be 100% since it could be they're both wolves.. but that's even less likely. |

Well, Saldana could only be bad if Dubb is bad, so that is why he is not drawing as much heat. My read on Schmidty, and USFL is not be wolfish right now, but Telle I got the wolfish feeling all game. As Hoopsguy said, there was a good chance she either had a role or was a wolf and at this point I don't think she has a role.

You have to make some leaps, for me that is believing PB, I also strongly believed Dubb early on which I have my reasons for that I will explain after the game. At this point though, that reason does not hold as much weight, so I am not as sure now. |

You've played very cautiously, Hoops (not that he is on the good side) had the same read that I did. I may be wrong, but like I said until we find a wolf and have some record to go on, we have to go on gut. Trust me, I don't like playing off of gut. |

Alright, getting ready to leave for awhile. I feel it's important for villagers not to split their votes at this point. Since I 100% trust PB, Unvote Dubb Vote Lathum Also, now that I think about it, voting for Lathum makes the most sense. If Lathum turns up as the fake seer/villager, then Dubb can be night killed by Danny (who has been cleared by PB) tonight. If I were PB, I would strongly consider scanning Dubb even if Lathum turns up a wolf though. |

Racer, I appreciate it. I will not be voting Hoops unless something drastic happens and I won't likely vote dubb. My thoughts on the play are as such: IF we're wrong about Lathum, Danny nightkills dubb, and tomorrow we vote out Racer. That nets us two wolves, which makes this a game again. I think we probably follow that with a lynch of Saldana (sorry if you're good, but we may need the info if I don't get a scan on you), likely netting us a third wolf. IF we're right about Lathum, I think we've got a pretty good run of cleared players that we then go fish in a barrel against the remaining four/five. I would consider, at that point, dubb, Saldana, PB, Danny, and Tyrith cleared. I would give Hoops a pass for now and take aim at the rest: Telle, Schmidty, USFL, and Racer. Sorry Racer, Lathum's play leaves us in a tough spot with you whether or not he is a wolf. |
