Exactly. What The Jackal said.

Funny, I am rubbing you the wrong way, Darth, considering it was you who threw me out there as a possibility with Narcizo. I wasn't even looking at you before you did that. Sorry that what yuo actually post here leads to consequences like me voting for you.

At this point, I am pretty comfy with where my vote is currently.

[EagleFan]

Went back to using IE after using Chrome for a little while and I am still having an issue with the View First Unread button. It takes me back to the same post as the very first time I used that button in the thread. It has done that ever snce I went to IE 9.

Has anyone else run into this? If so, have you found a solution for it?

Hmm, agreeing with someone else's point without adding anything of your own ... that's a wolf move ;-)

Damnit!!

[Darth Vilus]

yeah but it looks like you're trying to use that as an excuse. i think you're too good of a player to be playing the way you are.

[Darth Vilus]

unvote narcizo

vote bhlloy

Just a self preservation at this point, i think he's a villager. I strongly suggest looking at Chief Rum, Narcizo and (for good measure) Jackal in the future. I have an inkling that i won't make it through the lynch

[Darth Vilus]

heading out now, see ya in a few hours. and I'd pick chief over the other two first

We should all strongly be looked at because we were the first three to select iocane powder? Or what? I don't really get this, though since you've mentioned me I'm probably being over defensive.

unvote narcizo
vote darth vilus

Seems to be talking kinda funny being in the position he's in. He's already making judgments by picking out a few people and saying he's still rather go towards a specific person.

[Autumn]

I agree, Mauboy, I'm happy with my vote.

[The Jackal]

I don't really have much on bhlloy besides a tiny bit of semantics, and DV is pinging all over.

[bhlloy]

Sorry DV, I'd like to keep the margin between us as big as possible right now. I hate, hate, hate that we've turned this into a day 1 lynch of people who have been active in the thread (like we always do), and I'd much rather look at someone who checked in early and has done squat since then as that is what a wolf does 9 times out of 10, but obviously that's not going to happen now.

unvote ntndeacon

Not a fan of the sudden turn toward DV, although he is pinging me the most between him and bhlloy.

[Autumn]

Why would you vote him if you don't like the run on him?

[bhlloy]

Autumn - what happened to vote early and vote often? How do you feel about the fact that we've basically turned day 1 into a run on the people who have been vocal again?

[PackerFanatic]

Because like I said, he is pinging me the most...when I had my post in, it was the 8th vote on him. Bhlloy snuck his in to make mine the 9th. I still think he is the way to go tonight, but that doesn't mean the run on him isn't suspicious.

[EagleFan]

Some trivia from the movie:

Despite his character Fezzik's almost-superhuman strength, André the Giant's back problems at the time prevented him from actually lifting anything heavy. Robin Wright had to be attached to wires in the scene where Buttercup jumps from the castle window into Fezzik's arms because he couldn't support her himself.

While rehearsing for the film, André the Giant's thick accent prevented many of his lines from being understood. To remedy this, actor Mandy Patinkin slapped André in the face to get him to concentrate harder.

When Count Rugen hits Westley over the head, Cary Elwes told Christopher Guest to go ahead and hit him for real. Guest hit him hard enough to shut down production for a day while Elwes went to the hospital.

The video baseball game the Grandson in playing during the first scene is "Hardball" produced by Accolade, Inc., in 1985. It was widely available in the mid-1980s for the Commodore 64 computer system. It was a one or two-player game. The sound was not from the actual game, but later added.

The giant rodents were created with diminutive actors inside rat suits. On the day Westley was supposed to battle the giant rat, the "rat actor" was pulled over for speeding and subsequently arrested, and actually had to be bailed out of jail by the filmmakers so the scene could be filmed.

[Autumn]

Well, bhlloy, to my mind the reason we vote people who aren't vocal, is to make them get vocal. And the reason we wnat them vocal is so we can guess if they're a wolf. Darth opened his mouth up enough to convince people he might be a wolf.

I agree that we often vote villagers because they're saying things, instead of quiet wolves. But it's day one, and I think a vote for someone who spoke up and pinged you is probably better than just randomly voting a quiet person.

Someone's always going to get piled on day one, because no one has anything to go by really other than "well these guys have vote already."

[EagleFan]

The town crier can be heard...

Gather round, in the town square. We lynch tonight!!!

The time is drawing near.

[EagleFan]

deadline

[EagleFan]

The town has decided. After a close debate all day one candiate has risen above the rest. Darth Vilus must be one of the so called wolves amongst us.

He must be brought to justice.

He is led to the gallows. He does not resist but seem to be waiting for the crowd to come to their senses.

He refuses the hood and the noose is lowered over his head.

"Wait!!! Please spare my husband's life!!!"

Who spoke? The crowd looks around.

"He must die!" Another calls out.

"First, I have one question? Do you have 6 fingers on your right hand?"

What kind of question is that? Darth holds up his hand and it is clear to see that he has just 5 fingers.

Then the lever is pulled and Darth drops to his death.

The body is retrieved and you discover that he was just a regular citizen.


Darth was a vanilla villager.

[EagleFan]

Processing the night results. Will first process the wolves' actions, then the roled villagers' actions and then the draw for he items.

[The Jackal]

Well that's unfortunate, sorry DV

[Autumn]

[Autumn]

First thing that jumps out at me is PF voting for Darth while saying he doesn't like the run. Classic wolf move of reluctantly going along with the village knowing that a villager's about ot get killed. Looking at the vote history, PF voted elsewhere early this morning, and then only switched to Darth when it was a runaway.

And yes, PF, I know there are plenty of villager reasons for all of that too. I'll keep digging and see who else pops out.

[Autumn]

Looking to imagine that if Bhlloy was a wolf, there would be a move to shift to Darth by wolves at the end. Jackal would be the primemover there, but his vote on bhlloy early mitigates that. If bhlloy happened to be a wolf, mauboy would look the worst, but not particularly so.

A key juncture, if there were any wolves voted for today, would be more around the middle of the pack when we had a 3-3-3 tie. We can't say much of anything about it at this point though with the info we have.

[bhlloy]

shocker

He posts this and then a wave of votes for him. Either something wolfish or bad villager play

[Autumn]

I don't think it was bad play, Danny, I think Darth managed to convince three more people that he was a wolf by what he posted while he was here. It's not like Darth didn't realize he was a prime candidate at that point.

[EagleFan]

The morning roles around. As you gather at the town square you notice that one person is missing. You begin to take role call.

Darth!!! Has anyone seen Darth?!??!

Yes, he is swinging from the tree over there.

Oh, yeah. Who else is missing?

bhlloy cannot be found.

You search and find that he met with a brutal death, he was stabbed from behind.

bhlloy was a vanilla villager.

[Danny]

It's a bad play because they didn't vote him before he left. He wasn't in awful shape when he left and in the event he had an important role, it was a bad move for everyone to vote for him later rather than earlier

[EagleFan]

About to draw for the items and then I will post that day two has begun (after I send out the item PM's).

[The Jackal]

That's a rather surprising kill if you ask me, but at least he was vanilla. I sure had my sights on the wrong people today.

[Danny]

At least they were only vanilla

[Autumn]

That's odd.
