Everyone else is voting for people that haven't shown up and Telle was on this list too still (I believe) so, just making it a 4 person non-showing-upper race.

Grammaticus · 09-09-2008, 06:36 PM

I may not be back before 8pm. I'm throwing out a vote to somebody who did not check in.

Vote Schmidty

doesn't mean anything else at this point.

Umm pardon me? I do believe I have been in the thread off and on all day. So the votes for me were certainly not viewing me as a nonparticipant. I think all of them viewed me as a "trixy" player.

You all gather in the front of St Marys and discussion ensues about who could possibly be the wolf menace.

After some discussion it is determoned it must be MRs. Schmidty, eventhough she hasn't said a word.

You all grab her and drag her out to the back alley, no one commits murder on holy ground. One of you unsheaths a sword and expertly slices off Mrs Schmidtys head. Right before her death she screams a primal howl, Mrs Schmidty was a wolf!!

deadline for night actions is 11:00 AM EST

path12 · 09-09-2008, 09:20 PM

I think that's the first time we've ever gotten a no-show wolf day 1. Cool!

Or whatever stands for "cool" in Scottish. All I could think of was "ach" or "hoot mon", neither of which seemed to work.

My fault. Although, I would have still voted for Telle doing it at the time I did. I knew I wouldn't be around to change so, I was more trying to even up the vote.

Lathum · 09-09-2008, 10:00 PM

schmidty is out so I will be finding a replacment for him. I have one lined up, just need to get in touch with him.

Lathum · 09-09-2008, 10:50 PM

ok

Schmidty and I both think it best for him to not play this game.

AlanT is taking over for him.

I apologize things deteriorated the way they did. That wasn't my intent

ain't gonna be the Schmidty's

Hey guys, just checking in. Lathum asked me to fill in so here I am. I'm pretty busy, so probably won't be my normal chatty self. I skimmed through the thread but haven't really looked too much at the conversation from yesterday in great detail.

I'm pretty much assuming right now my only real concern tonight is to pick a location to travel to and decide how much to spend on any possible duals.. I'll catch up on the rest some time tommorrow in between conference calls.

DaddyTorgo · 09-10-2008, 12:30 AM

did i miss when things deteriorated? i better go back and see

yay for getting a wolf!

and glad to see that ntn views being "trixy" as a compliment

DaddyTorgo · 09-10-2008, 12:33 AM

oooh i just realized something - idk if sharing what i realized is the best idea though as i'm sure some others have realized it as well

DaddyTorgo · 09-10-2008, 12:59 AM

oh - DT realized that he hadn't looked at the forum outside of the thread for this game. lol

illinifan999 · 09-10-2008, 01:09 AM

Narcizo · 09-10-2008, 02:08 AM

Boo for it looking like I was trying to protect a wolf.
And boo for meta-game arguments.

Narcizo · 09-10-2008, 03:30 AM

Votes

Mrs S by Barkeep (136)
Illifan by path (124)
NTN by DaddyTorgo (125)
NTN by Narcizo (129) 2-1-1
Mrs S by Heinz (133) 2-2-1
Illifan by Packer (136) 2-2-2
Telle by Mustang (137) 2-2-2-1
NTN by clap (142) 3-2-2-1
Mrs S by NTN (148) 3-3-2-1
Unvote Illi by Path (153) 3-3-1-1
Mrs S by Path (153) 4-3-1-1
Schmidty by Gramm (156) 4-3-1-1-1
Telle by illi (159) 4-3-2-1-1
NTN by Saldana (162) 4-4-2-1-1
Unvote Illi by Packer (165) 4-4-2-1
Vote Mrs S by Packer (165) 5-4-2-1

Which looks good for all of the Mrs S voters barring NTN, but particularly good for Packer and Path. Unless NTN is also bad, in which case I don't think anything can really be read into it. While it's not unheard of for there to be 2 wolf candidates in a day one vote it seems pretty unlikely, so I'll go with the assumption that Path and Packer should get a lot of trust, Heinz a fair bit and Barkeep a bit (it's not unheard of for wolves to cast the first vote on another wolf).

Can't help but feel that clap, Sal and myself come out looking bad from the voting. I made a case for not voting for a no-show early on while all our votes could be construed as save attempts (an early one in my case). Of course there's a chance that the wolves decided fairly early not to make any attempt to save Mrs S. Mustang, illi and Gramm's votes all looked like throwaway votes. While there's the no-shows to consider as well.

saldana · 09-10-2008, 07:10 AM

tbh, i made the tie on purpose with every intent of breaking it myself if no one else did...i was interested in seeing if there would be movement at the deadline to save one player or another.

to me, the most incriminating vote of the day was illinifan...he came in and dropped the telle vote, then left again...that really muddled the waters by making it 4/3/2 when instead, he could have put it to 4/4.

he will likely be getting my vote today, assuming my head is still attached to my body

blows, visiting my friend and didn't have internet access between yesterday afternoon and now .. that's why i didn't get a vote in for people that are wondering, but i already had a movement submitted so we'll see what happens with that

ill be traveling most of today but ill try and pitch in

Well, of course, you would say that.

As it happens that's pretty much how I would have played it as well but I'm just saying that you shouldn't be surprised if people think it looks suspicious. You have to pay the price (of distrust) for tying up the vote against a wolf.

Not sure what to make of illifan's vote although I would like to hear an explanation as to why he thought he should start a third candidate rather than voting for one of the two main ones at that stage. It does seem odd. Then again were he a wolf wouldn't he just have voted for NTN? I know wolves don't all want to link their votes and be too overt about saving a team member but I have a hard time seeing him voting anywhere but on NTN at that stage were he a wolf.
