WW CXLVI: Portal GAME OVER - Test8

[tyketime]

My unofficial Tally:

Packer (1) - Narcizo
No Lynch (1) - Ragone
GLADOS (3) - Barkeep, MarcV, Packer
Narcizo (2) - bhlloy, Pass

Not Voted: tyketime, Simbo, Raiders, KWhit

[Ragone]

Thanks Tyke.. that looks about right

[KWhit]

I could go for either Narcizo or Packer.

Narcizo because he's been vocal and has had a good bit on influence in this game - and since we're doing so badly, it could be that he's influencing us away from the wolves.

Packer just because it would give us a good bit of info about others' voting patterns since he was close to the lynch vote on Day 4.

Hmmm....

[KWhit]

Tyke -

You were pinging my wolfdar a lot a day or two ago. But something yesterday or the day before made me rethink that. Any idea what you did to sway me, cause I can't remember what it is.

[Raiders Army]

VOTE PACKERFANATIC
I don't get the No Lynch or Glados vote.

[tyketime]

My first take at the voting I think is just indicative of our entire game. We still don't have a solid gameplan. So I keep going back to the beginning. Sorry if I am being repetitive... but it's the only way to double and triple-check that we haven't missed anything:

This clearly indicates to me that each day, CF is giving us an indication about the current day's test.

[Sorry - not sure why the images are not copying over, but they are they blue and orange squares.]

So today's test is voting along with somehow linking the blue and orange portal devices.

Oh, I remember now. I was convinced for a bit that Brit was a wolf and you were going after Packer because you were too (I had suspicions of you from earlier in the game). But then when Brit revealed, I changed my mind about him and therefore you looked less suspicious in my mind since you were voting Packer who is more likely to be a wolf. But who knows? PF could be a villager too.

I agree. I really, really, really don't think a no lynch or Glados vote is the answer. If anything, it's a poor delay tactic that just smells wolfish to me (again - presuming they are in play). We really have to consider every angle here!

[Ragone]

Unvote no lynch
Vote Packersfanatic

[tyketime]

As of #1459

Packers (3) - Narcizo, Raiders, Ragone
GLADOS (3) - Barkeep, MarcV, Packer
Narcizo (2) - bhlloy, Pass


Not Voted: tyketime, Simbo, KWhit

[CrimsonFox]

Oh, how cute, people are voting for me. And I did not realize you could even spell words that long. Well done. It is enriching that enrichment center test subjects want to vote for me. Must mean I'm popular. I-- hey wait, what was that thing I dropped. This is embarassing. Don't touch that thing please. I am a complete butterfingers today.

[CrimsonFox]

So let's get back to where we were...

Vote Tally:
Packers - Narcizo, Raiders, Ragone
Narcizo - bhlloy, Pass

Oh wow - look who we woke up...

[Ragone]

So lynching glados is out.. However it does give us a good read once those who voted glados start swapping, which is what i was hoping to get out of that all along.

Good point!

In looking at the two candidates, my vote has been on Packer the last two days. I think I'm going to go there again. But as Ragone correctly points out, we will learn a lot about whether folks scramble to tighten it up, leave their votes dangling, or pile on. Very interesting...

VOTE PACKERFANACTIC

[Ragone]

Once packer rolls out.. obviously he moves to narcizo in self preservation..

So at that point we'd be 4 on packers and 3 on narcizo with Barkeep and marcv to swap from glados

and simbo and kwhit to vote as well.

As for the no vote/no wolves theory, I'm on board. It seems absolutely impossible for us not to have hit a wolf so far. Everything points to us being villager-villager every night and to just be running in circles. So yeah, I don't know where to go from here. I have some vague out there ideas about a wolf bloc but they really aren't based on anything solid

Actually, if bhlloy still has his device, and presuming Packers votes Narc, then that would actually tie it up at 4-4, right?

[Simbo Klice]

*sigh* it seems like it's always PackerFanatic and someone else. I could be pretty wrong about this but it seems to me that PF has basically stopped talking since he was first up for it. I think it's got to finally be him going down.

Vote PackerFanatic

[Passacaglia]

Checking in. I'll try to be around for deadline.

Funny I read this as GLaDOS being vulnerable (what with the dropping). However, I'm not going to do it if it's not a majority opinion.

I think we gain more information from a PF being a wolf than a Narc being a wolf and up until today I hadn't really suspected Narc at all.

Unvote GLaDOS
Vote PackerFanatic

[bhlloy]

Note tyke and ragone playing off each other like they have most of the game. If we survive past today, that's something to bear in mind

[CrimsonFox]

Really. Where is that thing? Did anyone see it? It looked like this:

None of you have seen it? Really you should leave it alone. YOu don't know where it's been. Anyone...anyone...Bueller...Bueller... Remember that movie where that was from? Remember Matthew Broderick? Remember the parts where he talked to the screen? In those parts if you replaced his voice with my voice, the movie would still work. Try it some time. Perhaps I should get a Matthew Broderick simulator for my voice. Then you could imagine the tests would be run by Matthew Broderick...

[KWhit]

Ah. It's Wheatley.

Pick up Wheatley

[KWhit]

Worth a try....

[KWhit]

So Wheatley ends up helping the lead character defeat GlaDOS in Portal 2. Of course, that's not really the whole story because Wheatley ends up going crazy. But I find it interesting that she dropped him after receiving votes...

Hmmmm......

Hmmmm......

Truth be told, I'm all for the lynch GlaDos if we're still around tomorrow. Even the "you're not supposed to be doing that, just do this" rhetoric is very GlaDos-esque.

Me too - I'm going to try and keep half an eye here to see what happens come the update, but I'm stuck in code purgatory at the moment with something which 'should' work but isn't .... so thats taking most of my attention (and has been for nearly 2 days now).

Good luck with that - as I see it we've played directly onto the wolves, no way we can win this ... we've a fragmented vote between a minimum of two targets, exactly what we don't need if there are wolved out there as they can easily bias things towards the target they want.

[Barkeep49]

So voting GLaDOS has produced some strong hints of results. I don't get why we don't take those hints and vote GLaDOS tonight.

[KWhit]

Well, I think tonight we need to vote for a lynch since we possible lose tonight if there are wolves in the game. If we get a villager and the game's still going tomorrow, then we can focus on voting for GlaDOS.

[KWhit]

VOTE PACKERFANATIC

[Ragone]

So lets start working ahead abit, Assuming packers is a wolf.. where do we go next?

Hmmm possible loss if we vote for GlaDOS (ie. 5vs5 if the wolves manage to bump someone off - not certain if there is a 'defender' out there) .... definite charge towards losing if there isn't a wolf out there and we continue killing each other .....

Personally I'm sticking with my Switzerland like neutrality and voting for the big not so subtle computer which keeps slaughtering people.

[Barkeep49]

I hear you which is why I've not moved my vote back, I just do to want to lose sight of what I think is a very important aspect to this game.

[Marc Vaughan]

Well I'd be shocked that we'd actually found one for starters, I'd have thought he'd have had a more furry snout if he was a wolf

[Ragone]

Whats the updated tally.. still trying to do this at work..

[Passacaglia]

Originally Posted by Ragone

[Passacaglia]

My mental math says 7 for PF, 2 for Narc...3 if you figure an extra vote for bhlloy.

[Ragone]

Thanks pass, thats what i kinda figured but with all the damn portal things in play.. + wheatley doing god knows what..

[Passacaglia]

Guys, this seems too easy.

[Ragone]

I know how you are feeling pass, but haven't we all felt like that night after night of lynchs.. and always end up wondering wtf happened?

[Marc Vaughan]

Originally Posted by Passacaglia

Thats because either:

(1) We're targeting a villager and the wolves are all on board with that
(2) There aren't any wolves and CrimsonFox is sitting at home in his underwear giggling hysterically at us
(3) We're targeting a wolf and they have nerves of steel

Delete as appropriate, personally speaking I think I can hear CF's laughter

I have no powers - for heavens sake if anyone isn't a vanilla villager and has a power, even if its just to whip cream into a delicious icing then please fess up - we need information here chaps ....

[Passacaglia]

I guess. But we're voting right now based on the idea that there ARE wolves, and we'll deal with the case where there AREN'T wolves later. So if there's wolves, since we haven't killed any, there's a lot of them. I have a hard time believing the wolves just laid down and died, and let us vote PF. Especially not this way -- it's not like we had a clear read on him or anything. For those voting PF -- do you really think there are NO wolves among the SEVEN people voting for him?

[CrimsonFox]

Bleep Blop Bork Blah Blah


Packers - Narcizo, Raiders, Ragone, tyketime, Simbo, Barkeep, KWHIT
Narcizo - bhlloy, Pass

[Ragone]

I think thats a fair analysis pass... i just find it odd packers isn't here defending himself till the end.

[Passacaglia]

Come on, Rag -- don't let everyone else's indifference rub off on you!

[Ragone]

As my first ww game, i'm quite enjoying this. I think i'd enjoy it more if we'd start bagging some wolves.

Problem is there is NO information to go on at all ...

For instance if there are wolves, one good way to shift votes would be to pile on then to say "Hey this is too easy, he's got to be innocent" - then again thats exactly what wolves would expect us to expect ...
