I attacked the idea swaggs presented, one that you and hoops supported. I dont believe i attacked you on that point until after the bek lynch, just the idea. Im sure we can both go digging if you would like

There is one point that RealDeal makes that I completely agree with - we need to have some clarity about the night lynches. Learning about Bullet in particular would go a long ways towards understanding the writeups we have received up to this point.

I just think with all seer roles they become more valuable the longer you wait. Now, granted, beks death made your idea look smarter. And if there is only one left then maybe he should reveal. I think how its percieved is who reveals though. Im willing to allow facts to come out in the open, but i dont think day 3 was the right time. I think today is really the first day they should consider it.

Well neither of us have thrown insults at each other like happened with other people, so when I say attack its obviously not meaning you came after me with a crowbar. However the entire basis on my distrust for you comes from that afternoon where you refused to go along with what seemingly sounded like an excellent idea for us to use to work with facts finally. Since then every thing you do I dig to see what sneaky things you are up to and it just makes me more and more distrust you. I think I'm about to give up on you. Vote for me if you want to, but i haven't lied once and have come out with any and every evidence I could supporting my beliefs. I honestly admit I made some mistakes this game, and I still go on. I'm not taking credit for things trying to build trust, or trying to hide under the radar. Its just gotten to the point where you feel like you still have a grudge for me and admitted earlier in the game that you were after me ever since day 1. Anything i say doesn't matter to you, you still will be distrustful of me. If you truly are good, then we likely will cause problems for our side by distracting everyone so much and doing the wolves work for them. If you are bad, then you are doing an excellent job of being an in your face wolf daring people to want to lynch you. I don't know if you are a lost cause or not at this point Blade, but we clearly aren't getting anywhere. |

You keep arguing here against a point that I never made. I never once said I wanted moses or clover to role reveal. I wanted them to: 1) Send a PM to swaggs (who was and is trusted fully) with their findings. 2) Set up code in the PM to pass future info along to Swaggs so as to make the PM not wasted. By doing that, Swaggs can pass along the info on the lynches and night kills, has his own private circle of trust and can continue gathering the information. I still dont understand why you felt this was such a bad idea that day. |

1.Chubby is moses, got beks info 2.chubby is moses, did not gets bek info(i dont find this likely) 3.Chubby is a normal villager (not likely to me either, but possible i suppose) 4.Chubby is seer or actual bodyguard(Again, i dont find it likely...he hasnt been around much to say either way, and the few times he was he called hoops' claims as total lies. under this scenario, it would make sense for him to call hoops' bluff if he is the actual bodyguard(and blocked a kill on night 2, hence knowing what happened) or seer(hoops is a popular scan target early in games) 5.Chubby is a bad guy ( I see this as 2nd most likely, behind moses, and increasing due to one comment alanT made about chubby's view on bullet and the rule changes)

Ok, you 3 (alan, blade, hoops) post a ton of stuff, and its hard to sift through looking for gold nuggets. Two things stand out to me.
1) Nobody has received a PM detailing the lynch/night kills. I'm trying to figure out a good reason why neither Clover or Moses have done this (besides being dead). 2) Chubby claims to be an ordinary sheep. Has anyone else claimed to be a regular animal? |

If you think im a lost cause, that all fine. Im trying to work through countless scenarios. I really dont see you discussing multiple ideas, though you did go back and look at chubby's post which i appreciate. But i think you are ignoring the work im doing to either bring our two sides together or root out the moles pushing us apart.

The second reason is hiding. Once the bad guys know a half seer is still alive, they will try to mislead him. They will vote seperately, accuse each other, do everything to mitigate the half seer's effects. If they dont reveal, bad guys can assume their dead and stop working as a group. Then, BAM, we got a nice little group. This is what i viewed you, hoops, and realdeal doing. You felt bek was what i claimed, so knew you could team up and win this thing. And, to be fair, your group has dictated the lynch the past 2 days. Do you understand those reasons, and if not please explain so we can continue working together

Since you already said you got the pm ardent received just didnt know who's it was... here is the story he came up with. You might want to familarize yourself with anything else he said before trying to make up stuff for us |

I might have missed it at the time, but I dont remember you coming out protecting Bek that vote saying he was Clover until after the lynch happened. I can see your point, I just disagree with it. The reason why is the bad guys don't know whats around either, however the odds are if they blindly kill people they have a much better chance of hitting someone they want vs us. So for us the information in ways that don't reveal roles is more important. I guess the question that was asked before, but i don't recall an answer is without information, how do you think we should form Circles of Trust? |

Yep, I already said earlier in the thread that I was a sheep. I found your post interesting because I kept a little list next to me of everyone else claiming to be a sheep. Ardent's name was on that list, so when you came out asking that, it set off an alarm for me. I figured I would set the bait and see what I caught. So either you or Ardent are lying is my guess, and since both play the same role, it probably doesn't matter which. |

Another interesting thought thats running through my mind right now.. with all the common barnyard animals around, we had 4 people claiming to be ordinary sheep, which was odd to me.. Since then we've found Ardent apparently was lying, Chubby (who blade claims isnt a sheep is his belief), BrianD who I feel was bad too.
Kind of funny if the game is broken open just because of people lying about being sheep. |

If you go back to that day, you will notice i didnt post at all the final few hours. I left before hoops started the bandwagon on bek. I had economics and my marketing club that afternoon(which in AZ is when the pre-deadline stuff all goes down). As for COT, i think our seers are our key. I just didnt want them revealing on day 3(even through swaggs). I think the fact everyone assume they are dead is a huge victory for us if one is still alive. The wolves will have stopped worrying about being associated or look suspicious, since no one will know if we lynch good or bad guys. Im hoping ones alive, and i hope he reveals either tonight or tomorrow night. But i think day 3 is too early. Your plan is fine, my problem with it was the timing.

Anything is possible, but most GMs usually have the roles in notepad or somewhere that they cut and paste out. I would just assume he would cut and paste and send you the same role, or forward the one he sent Ardent. I'm pretty sure I'm willing to take a chance on that and vote you though based on this. |

Alan, I had to delete the initial role send outs because my inbox was full so this is a non-starter issue. Ardents original claim of sheep will do fine for game purposes.

Here's a thought, out of nowhere. I think hoops might have alluded to this, something like Day 2. It's likely that there are very few revs. The fact that we don't get role reveals gives them a HUGE advantage, which means that their numbers should be small. Something like 2 or 3. Thus, we should look for people under the radar, instead of choosing factions.

Hmm on second thought if there are 20 players and 5 types of animals, 4 sheep isnt odd I suppose..
Guess i fail at math. It just jumped out at me I guess though. |

Note though, that 20 has 1 raven, 2 pigs pre-disposed to be special, 2 horses pre-disposed to be special, 1 donkey, and a human. Thats not even counting squeeler or the attack dogs. The number is a lot lower then you might think

Well I'm assuming that Brian wasn't a sheep like he said. Blade seems to strongly infer that Chubby isn't one either. Its a bit more realistic in my head when I think about it, but a few days ago when I wrote it down, it sure seemed weird. |

Every player was assigned a different kind of animal, just as every players role PM was worded differently, in order to prevent the "code word" phenomenon.
