Anyhow, I agree with the above and I was surprised the game started already...which is why I looked up his profile and it said that he hasn't been on since 5:30 PM EST last night. FWIW, in the past he has been helpful (to wolves and villagers alike), so I would say we should cut him some slack with the Day 1 votes. If he's inactive for a second day, one of the alternates can step in. I would hate to possibly lynch our seer just because he didn't know the game was starting. |

Is a lynching necessary every stage?

Technically yes, although in a tie vote, there's a possibility that no one will be killed, depending on the rules. In reality, it's better to lynch someone, even a villager, every night in order to establish behavioural patterns. |

Yeah, I could not take much more of watching Jerry Rice dance, so I had to retreat to the computer and eventually noticed the game was on. We’ll probably hear from Mr. Wed before too long.

*yawn* Same old, same old. Vote Blade6119 This is nothing personal, it's just that there's nothing to go on, and statements like the one you made annoy me. Of course you're going to say that you have no special role, but I've always thought that to be a pointless ploy. Also, are people supposed to believe you just because you go cuckoo, or as you called it ealier - "fake-angry Blade stuff"?

I'll be leaving for the evening shortly, so I need to vote soon.
Since, this is a crapshoot anyway, I'm going to Vote Blade6119. I am always a little suspicious of the person who is accusatory so early. |

Personally I like two horse or three horse races since it narrows down voting patterns later in the game.
So for now: VOTE RAIDERS ARMY

If anyone knows how to contact Mr. W out of game do it. As it seems he's going to get hung without even signing on. I'd like to hear a little out of him.

Good catch, Alan T. Thanks.
MrW (3) Blade (2), Raiders (2) Bunch with (1) I'm tempted to move my vote off of Tanglewood to see what happens when turning the heat up on one of the vote leaders, but my reasons for initially voting Tanglewood have not changed (quiet player, doesn't provide much surface area to evaluate if good/bad). |

dola, I also did an activity analysis and have posted quite a bit about my thoughts, so I'm not sure why you voted for me.
You, on the other hand, have contributed very little. |

I voted for you for a combo of reasons.
1) Day 1 is always random 2) I already stated that I would probably vote for someone with a bolded number 3) I also stated that I like creating 2-3 horse races so that it narrows down the voting pattern.

Day one sucks. I hate just casting meaningless votes out there. I can't pinpoint any one thing that has stood out so far from anyone, so I'm going to put off my vote until later.

Sorry guys, didn't expect to get so swamped at work today.
Seeing as how I have very little to go on and am also intrigued by the bolded guys, Im gonna throw my vote in for Mr. W as well. Vote Mr. Wednesday Im not sure that being bolded means anything, but I think we'll know for sure if we can expect any kind of action/reaction from them by voting one of them out first.

FWIW... I'm not a bad guy. I might be bolded because I'm unlucky, I dunno. Or maybe ardent is just trying to mess with you... I mean, really, what would you expect your GM to do?

I don't really like trying to vote out one of the two folks who currently have two, so...
RPI-Fan always gets on me at some point, so I'm going to give him a good reason. Vote RPI-Fan

I've already been beat out of my dola.
However, I would like to know the thoughts of the players regarding the weekend. We could 1. Play through the weekend. 2. Play extended hours through the weekend. 3. Start up again on Monday. Night actions would be complete and posted as soon as received. I'm up for any of the above.

I'm not sure I'll be back by 9 pm CST... I think it's very dangerous to assume anything particularly about people who are bolded. Off the top of my head, it could mean that one or more is a bad guy, or that one or more has has some sort of "cursed" special role that would help the bad guys. However, it could also mean that one or more has some sort of special role that would help the good guys. Or it could just mean, as I noted above, that ardent is trying to mess with us.
If I'm going to get wrongfully lynched here, hopefully you'll learn something useful from my death. I doubt it's going to help us win.

Short of a role reveal, you're not going to get a whole lot of good cases from anyone. And even a role reveal isn't likely to be worth it, because it'll probably get you killed overnight.

UNVOTE RAIDERS ARMY VOTE KINGFC22 I was hoping to draw king out, as i stated earlier to hoops long before i voted raiders. The look into numbers was a total bluff to see who would latch onto the idea. Wolves want a reason to vote for a villager, so when looking back they can explain their actions. My number thing gave them the perfect route. Of the two to mention liking it the most, penny and king, king followed through and did it with a vote that looks villager-ish the the naked eye. In retrospect, its exactly the vote a wolf would make. Not on the bolded person with a bandwagon, not on a person with no votes, and has every reason of being explained later on if need be. The numbers were bolded before people even signed up, and ardent couldnt have balanced the roles until he knew how many people would sign up. Hence why i feel the idea is a total and complete scapegoat for "others" And yes, i realize i could be far off base. I made a move to see reactions, and king obliged. Any questions?

If nobody else moves before I leave for the night, I will make a change to my vote in the interests of self-preservation.

One thing missing in that logic is that what difference does it make who got slotted in to those positions or when he created them? He had them bolded and probably assumed that enough people would fill out the game to make them usuable. Personally, I think it's a red herring, but I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand. |

I think it is actually 4 on Mr W. since I missed Bearcat's in my list earlier.
Alan T, Spleen, Bearcat, and Desmond. I'm heading out to play some poker, don't know if I'll be online again before deadline or not. But let's heat this up a little bit ... UNVOTE TANGLEWOOD VOTE KINGFC22 I would have liked to have seen Tanglewood attract some votes. Mr. W attracted four votes for being bolded and not visiting the site for a few hours. Tanglewood did the obligatory "I'm here" and not much else. But I don't think that a throwaway vote on Tanglewood is forcing the "others" to play their hand today. I'm fine with whatever hours arrangement we come up with for the weekend. I'll generally have availability on Saturday and good portions of Sunday. |

It's not like I was offering a real defense of myself anyway... the only thing I could do if I were still around is do further vote shifting. If I do get back home before deadline, I'll check just to see if there's anything more I can do for myself.

I wasn't arguing that all 4 are Others, I was arguing that it doesn't matter whether they were bolded beforehand or not. If he made all four of the bolded Others, that would potentially be an act of genius, but also could end the game fairly quickly. If it's a random draw, then the odds are actually pretty bad that one of the bolded is an Other. However, I see the logic for "testing the waters" with a bolded number, lacking evidence in favor of anyone else on the first day. |
