I'm guessing Chief Rum is not going to be changing his vote. I'm hoping that RPI and Hannibal at least consider doing so between now and the deadline given the lack of support for their candidate.

I may be out until deadline at this point.

I can say that CR will not be back before deadline based on his PM to me.

I agree that on D1 I try to avoid voting for someone who is returning to the game after an absence.

Why bring that pressure on yourself by potentially being the lynching vote on a villager?

Will you consider switching your vote if needed to break a tie?

A forced into the corner one. I was hoping to not draw any attention but that is not happening now. I am probably dead tonight anyway if I'm not lynched now that I said it.

Ugh.

Of course if he's lying the seer can't very well refute it or he's dead.

Actually would have been better off saying nothing as the seer and pray for miracle, really. Right?

Probably right at this point but it would have taken a miracle with many saying they can't be on for the deadline.

Actually it probably didn't matter much anyway based on the one other time I was the seer. The wolves happened to attack and kill my scan target each night rendering my scans useless.

Eh whatever, if you are a wolf I may be dead for these quick comments .

I am not a seer people, just streaming thoughts out there. Would really suck if Eagle was, but this does kind of seem like an attempt to get the seer to unmask himself.

If not...

I tend to believe the reveal, but if there is a seer out there, absolutely don't say anything.

The seer did unmask himself, me. No sense in beating around the bush at this point. Here I am wolves, come and get me.

My thoughts as well, but it also seems like a rather hasty attempt by a wolf to try to out the seer. Yes, EF is in danger of getting lynched, but we still haven't heard from Gramm and as it stands right now, only one person has to switch from EF to Jackal to change the results.

If I'm a wolf pulling a fake seer reveal, why do it now? There's no way the real seer is going to out him/herself this early.

If I'm the seer, why reveal this now? With 30 minutes to go before deadline there's still a lot of time for votes to be switched around without having to out yourself.

I agree. I see it more likely a Wolf making this play than the seer. The wolf at least has something to gain.

And now if we don't lynch Eagle, and the wolves let him go, all day tomorrow the discussion is going to be whether or not Eagle is the seer. W

It's a really tough spot.

The thing I don't like about the reveal is that there is a a a pretty good chance the BG won't be online to send in a protection for you, so it might have been better to not say anything.

Why reveal? Everyone on me seems rock solid and many can't even be here for the deadline.

I don't understand this why reveal logic? I am about to be lynched so saying nothing causes the village to lose the role. Saying something at least gives us some kind of chance. Look closely at the votes on me at least, that should tell you something when you see that I am not fake revealing.

I really hope the wolves put us in that spot. It might sow confusion, but if he really is the seer it will at least give us one or two scans that can be confirmed after his death.

It really doesn't tell us anything though. I'm not even trying to defend myself, that's fact.

And the only way your reveal helps us is if the BG protects you tonight. I had forgotten about that role during my earlier posts.

The wolves would be stupid not to kill EF if he survives the lynch. Whatever they could gain would not be worth giving him the opportunity to catch a wolf.

My problem is the timing of the reveal. There was almost an hour until deadline when you made the "reveal". Why not wait a little bit longer and see what Gramm did. If he forced a tie, then RPI and Hannibal would have been on the block to break the tie. By waiting, you could have prevented the need for the reveal.

We're sitting on six votes for both EagleFan and the Jackal right now, correct? With about five minutes until deadline.

So, having been awhile. What is the general perception of ties.

I know this page will certainly be looked at carefully as events unfold, but we don't get anything out of it at least in the short term.

No lynch sucks, but it's wasn't worth the risk of lynching EF, if he is lying, we will find out. Should have lynched The Jackal at least to get something out of the votes.

Generally bad and people who caused the tie or failed to break it are not seen in a good light. Hannibal caused the tie, but myself, Jonathan and you were all here to potentially break it. I just didn't feel it was worth the risk of possibly killing the seer and I figured Gram would have made a vote for someone. I think in all of this, Gram might come out looking the worst for not breaking that tie or at least doing something.

It's a 24 hour clock, so night actions were due at deadline?

Only about a third of us were online to see his reveal, chances are good unfortunately that EF won't be protected.

In the past I've been in favor of no lynches, but those are usually during inactive Day Ones. I think there's been enough action today to validate a day one lynching, and I feel like we really missed out today.

I'm going to be really surprised if EagleFan is killed tonight. I don't think the wolves are going to go after him. If he is the seer, he has a couple of nights of freedom.

So what does this mean to us? If EF lives and we get a scan, we're going to have to take it with a grain of salt. And of course, he could continue his bad luck of "scanning" the person the wolves kill. Either way, we can't fully trust EF until he is dead. This, of course, puts us at possibly a huge disadvantage, depending on how the wolves play this out.

And now we go into Day Two with almost as much information we had coming in today (i.e. almost none). Unless we catch a wolf tonight, then ignore everything I typed.

Crap, was coming back to say that I thought I had the wrong side on this one.

On the car ride home I was worrying about the three roommate block, coupled with the innate desire people have shown to at least somewhat support their roommates.
- chances are better that there is a wolf in the three person group than any two person group
- the voting influence of the three person group, coupled with any "wolf backing" grows as we lose villagers to lynch/night kills

So I was going to change the vote over to Jackal. I knew there was an early deadline, but was hoping that I would be able to make it home in time to make the switch. I'm especially bummed about this after seeing a tie and the reveal.
