When I saw Plumlee and Kelly with 4 each at about 12 minutes to go, and 5 Creighton guys with 3 fouls at the same time, I bet a friend that 2 Creighton guys would foul out before either of Plumlee or Kelly. Glad Echenique finally made the move that proved me wrong at 2:45 (Plumlee had picked up his 4th at 14 or 15 minutes to go).

*nods head sagely* mmm-hmmm. mmm-hmmm. I see.

Anyway it would seem britrock has the hidden basketball commentator role. Which is good to know. Come on everybody! Vote and select.

vote Murray5Y
dangerous as a wolf, played enough that I don't feel bad voting him D1

[mauchow]

Hopefully I can help the village win this time. I won't know how my day will be til I get to work. May have an auditor today so we'll see.

[Coffee Warlord]

De da. Re-reading rules.

[Coffee Warlord]

Vote PackerFanatic

He's a Packers fan. Still.

Select Iocane Powder

Because.

[DaddyTorgo]

Hey I know - maybe you guys should lynch me D1 again and put yourselves far behind the 8-ball!!

:P

Vanilla villager here. Won't be around after work, and maybe not even till just before deadline or just after, because I have a work dinner.

[Coffee Warlord]

Don't tempt me!

[PackerFanatic]

Since I already have two votes (WTF?), I am going to wait to put my vote down to see how things shake out. I know it's only day 1, but I still don't like already having two votes this year!

[Coffee Warlord]

What can I say. I'm a cruel, cruel man who prefers people get to 2 votes early in the day on the first day. YOU WIN!

[Autumn]

Okay, checking in and catching up. I didn't read the rules carefully this time around so I need to do so this morning.

[Autumn]

19 players must be pretty close to what EF expected, so I would think most roles would be in the game. I imagine Dread Pirate Roberts is not, that would give the wolves something they could bluff and doesn't change the balance. Then maybe drop Grandpa and the ROUS? Or drop the Albino?

[Coffee Warlord]

You can't drop the Albino! You will regret this!

[DaddyTorgo]

So do I simply state in thread: I WANT THE IOCANE POWDER

[Autumn]

anyway, I think we have a lot of roles so it would be best to just assume they're all there. Four to five wolves, we've got plenty of work to keep us busy.

No one puts the albino in the corner!

[Coffee Warlord]

My grandmother put the albino in the corner once....

ONCE.

[path12]

Request Wheelbarrow

So we request things and one of us gets it at the end of the day, is that right?

VOTE DQ BOY1000

Back later.

[Narcizo]

Select Wheelbarrow

Didn't read carefully and got them a-mixed up.

[Autumn]

I'm more worried about the wolves getting this one.

At least there's that part. Still a good one for wolves, but at least we still know if we got one.

[JAG]

You can make a reasonable case for both, but in my opinion there are a lot of potential villager roles with scans, protections, and potentially even grandpa power that could be disrupted by the wolves coming away with the wheelbarrow. That and the fact that the powder has a chance to fail.

As of post 175:

Iocane Powder - fontisian (102), Lathum (154), Coffee Warlord (159), DaddyTorgo (167), Autumn (174)

[EagleFan]

As an FYI, I have a late meeting tonight but should be done in plenty of time to get home and run the results on time. Wanted to note it just in case it is a couple minutes late.

I know, I sound like a wolf trying to cover my tracks.

[Autumn]

Oh, I missed that bit CW. That's true, that's a dead giveaway. I was imagining having to run around in circles if somebody used htat discussing whether they were just a villager. In that case the wheelbarrow seems more of a worry, for example if the seer was revealed and could get in a scan while being guarded.

UNSELECT IOCANE POWDER
SELECT WHEELBARROW

[murrayyyyy]

SELECT IOCANE POWDER

VOTE MAUCHOW out of respect for the way he played last time.

[fontisian]

I don't like having so many people on the wheelbarrow. If a wolf gets it and uses it against us, they'll be pretty hard to narrow down. If the Iocane Powder is used, at least the user and their alignment will be obvious. I guess we can just hope the wheelbarrow goes to a towny. :/

Shouldn't it be Murray4y or Murra5y?

[PackerFanatic]

SELECT IOCANE POWDER

Already enough people on the wheelbarrow, and like font said - it will already be hard enough to narrow down if a good guy got it.

[Chief Rum]

Okay, everyone relax. I am here.

[Chief Rum]

I think it's obvious that we have Miracle Max in the game, from the rules.

For story purposes, we have to consider Westley in the game for the village, and for both story and role, I believe Inigo and Fezzik must be in the game as well. For the wolves, as noted the Prince and Fezzini, I feel, must be in the game, and I also agree with the thinking that Rugen is too key a character to leave out (plus, he's the brutal).

Where we're not thinking it through, in my opinion, is viewing their abilities, which can lead us to other conclusions.

For instance, the Prince is looking for Buttercup. We agree the Prince is in the game, so I would think so is Buttercup. Plus, she's absolutely a key character in the game. Aside from Rugen being the brutal, IMO, since Inigo is a for sure character story-wise and he is searching for Rugen, that's another point for Rugen being in the game. Vizzini scans for Westley, Inigo and Fezzik. Same thing.

The other roles, including the neutral roles, IMO, are less likely to be in the game as a result.

[Chief Rum]

SELECT IOCANE POWDER

I can buy one or the other helping the village or wolves more, and use that as a reason to select that item, but really, I just like the concept of having this and engaging in a battle of wits, lol.

[DaddyTorgo]

Wouldn't it better to start building a CoT for us to agree on 2 people to have the items and then we could establish views on them? Rather than everybody putting in claims for them and thus we'd have no idea who gets them (I assume)??

[Chief Rum]

VOTE PACKERFANATIC

I know, why I am piling on, right? Call it an experiment, just a gut call right now.

... But that would make too much sense.

Vote fontisian for the Iocane Powder! She probably won't challenge you to a death match!

That would be a good idea, actually, but we're notoriously bad at pulling anything off that involves everybody putting in or not putting in an action.

[PackerFanatic]

Well this is an interesting turn...

[PackerFanatic]

Time to slash my lead.

[EagleFan]

Wow, I just realized that one little typo can really change the meaning of PF's screen name.

[The Jackal]

I'm generally not a fan of voting someone based on last game play or piling on the first candidate. Since it's early enough, let's see what happens with a third.

VOTE KATYLIED

Haha, I assume you did that in your last post?

[Autumn]

Packer, who I killed N1 recently. Three new players. And Mauchow. NOw, him I can understand. But for a D1 blind kill, I don't feel great about lynching the rest, so I'll be adding a new contender.

[Autumn]

After I go pee.

[Autumn]

For being after me on the list and being someone who is someone, I vote
