I'm just trying to clarify to see if I agree with your assumption. So it was just a list of names that you received with no explanation at all? Or was there some kind of description/heading that gives you the basis for the assumption?

Alan as the head wolf you had to win the challenge so you could make up this info....good lie by the way.
You knew no one could vote for you, but by winning you could get the wolves a leg up as you appear to be down to just 2 wolves ( and I feel I know who the other is now too ) you just assured yourself another day that is all. you took on a great role of overly helpful wolf, your M.O. if I remember correctly and this one is going to bit you now. |

dola, if you're asking if Barkeep said "the wolves are listed below in this list" then no he didn't. But there are times where you have to ask what the most simple explanation is for an event. And Barkeep messing with my mind while fun likely isn't the most likely scenerio.

or in other words, I played the same way I do every other game regardless if I am a villager or not? So this is phase 2 I guess. now that the info is out there, its time for you to try to make the villagers not believe it to give you life. I don't think I believe you when you say there are 2 wolves left either. I honestly think there likely are 3 left. |

Also sndvls, please explain why I would come out with this now when Anxiety was on his way to being voted out based on the numbers of people who are voting for him? If I was the wolf and lying about Anxiety why not just sit back and watch the villagers lynch another villager? That wouldn't make much sense I wouldn't think.

Well barring conversions, I'm pretty sure this game rests in the hands of you, Swaggs and Kwhit either believing or not believing the list. I can only give my reasons and what I know. The rest is up to whether you choose to believe Sndvls/Anxiety or me. |

I don't believe I have the ability to clear anyone. I have no idea who might be converted. I still stand by my belief that its silly to try to hunt down converted players or such before you remove the Lupus and Helsing wolves. Even if you don't believe me, go after those wolves first. To do otherwise would be foolish. I guess you just have to ask yourself.. how hard would this be to get rid of the wolves without being told if they are wolves when they die without some other in game helps. I could have chosen to be selfish (pick the item), or be a teamplayer (pick the list). I did my part, so if we lose its not my fault |

I am guessing it doesn't say anything about Converts. My assumption is this is the list the original wolves were picked from. Heck it might have just been people who owe Barkeep lunch money. Either way, I dont have any ability to clear people, just passing along the info that I received. Now it looks like people don't really want my info so I'll stop trying to share and wait to be voted off tommorrow. Just remember to look back at this "I told you so" moment at the end of the game if you choose to go that path. |

I actually just got through saying if you don't believe me you still shouldn't be going after Path or hunting down who might be converted. If you honestly feel I'm a wolf, your only real good vote today is a Lupus member. I'm hoping the villagers believe me as I haven't lied (unless you agree with Sndvls saying my quote of feeling Anxiety/Swaggs was a 50/50 shot is a lie from earlier today but he's just reaching) |

Was there ever verification that KWhit actually did send his idol over? I thought it was assumed but was it confirmed?

Wow that's...unfortunate. Either this is a wholly made up list, which would be a clever wolf play, or you are just guessing. I hope its the second, but this leads me to make two points, one old and one new. The old: when volunteers were asked for BK, made it seem that someone from your tribe better volunteer, or else, however the volunteer might get stuck with something icky. Well, I'll be honest. I seriously considered volunteering until I realized that Blade was on my team. Ask for volunteers in a WW game and Blade would be at the front of the line very single time. So I didn;t volunteer because I didn't see the need. Since we've basically sussed out that volunteers were teh wolves, Blade being a wolf makes sense (no one said that there had to be one per group) Lupus may very well have had two! The new: the seven of us are WW vets. When I started playing a year ago, all six of you had already been playing. We know each other very well, and we also know how to play the wolf. Any two of us (or three is you beleive AlanT) could play a very clever wolf game. Sure, I think JE was a wolf, and RA is to be determined, and I still feel that it was likely that cronin was an Oz convert. However, out of just us seven, I think I honestly begin to fear a group of wolves made up of us. I woulnd;t put many things past any of you. And that includes fake lists of random ten people, or not being around much, or coming out of the gate swinging and whatnot. However, her's an additional new thought. The wolves would have wanted to have won yesterday;s challenge, right? They get either an item or a list instead of a villager. it would have behooved them to work together, right? Which two people got perfect scores yesterday? Swaggs and AlanT. -Anxiety

Yes, and if I was a wolf, I'm pretty sure it would have been easier for me to push an agenda if I had just came out and said "Barkeep sent me the list that the following two players were wolves"
He didn't send me a list saying that, I'm just saying what I go, and I'm not a wolf. Other than that you may be exactly right! |

Doesn't seem like you're "falling" for the truth either.
Still doesn't make much sense why I would even come out with this if I was a wolf and the majority of people I'm appealing to already are voting Anxiety. If I was a wolf there and trying to get people to vote for Anxiety, I would have just let you and Swaggs and path all vote him on your own and sit back and watch. Like I said though, I'm not going to make up stuff to try to get you to believe the truth (like some people do in these situations). I had a choice to make and I made it. I feel its much more important for us to get the right people before we fall behind in numbers. |

FWIW, I don't see what Alan would have to gain by coming out with this list if he was a wolf. I agree that the better strategy in that case would have been to sit back and push for a old Lupus vote (assuming he could steer it to the non-wolf(ves) in that tribe). So I think that the list is likely genuine.
What I am not at all sure is that the assumption that it is the list of the first 10 volunteers and whether or not that means that all the wolves are on the list. I find it pretty tough to believe that there were no wolf votes assigned pre-game and that it all depended on who would volunteer. The problem with this game is that we've got so little information to work with as opposed to normally. No real voting records, no threads to go back and analyze, nothing. I really feel like this is a day 2-3 vote right now instead of two weeks into the game.

I also don't get why Alan says we were all going to vote Anxiety. I feel Abe has given some good analysis in the past couple days. That feels like a push to me.

No worries mate, you'd be in my top three list along with hoops and BK himself. Actually, my top five would include, in order: hoopsguy Lathum BK Chief Rum (he's new-ish, but he's very insightful) SnDvls with Blade a close sixth. -Anxiety

I tend to think that the list is genuine, but I'm not sure.
However, I do NOT think that it was the list of volunteers. I remember the call for volunteers coming right after the Lupus tribe voted out Blade. So there is no way that Blade's name should be on it if it, if that's what it was. I also don't think that volunteering is what made/didn't make you a wolf. The volunteering happened right before the merger right? I believe that was the point of volunteering. Someone mentioned that after they volunteered they had to do 'something' to help determine the new tribes. Something like picking a number or numbers, something like that. Who was it that said that? Lathum, maybe? |

I think Kwhit is confusin 2 things.
Early on, night 2 or 3 each tribe was told they need one volunteer and no one could say if they did or didn't volunteer. Then before the merge each tribe was asked to send one person as a representative. We were asked to submit a list but weren't told why or what the criteria was for the list. |

It being Tuesday night and all, I may not be back for a while. The following post is meant for those thinking about voting for either me or Swaggs. This is why you should consider Swaggs over me:
1). Swaggs and AlanT were tied wtih 7 points each in yesterday's contest, which wolves would have really wanted to win. I only got four points. 2). When voting yesterday, I could have voted KWhit or ITC. KWhit hadn;t showed up for two days, so I voted KWhit because if he wasn;t going to defend himself, I wasn;t going to avoid voting for him. I hadn;t intended on comgin back - this was a couple of hours before the deadline, and I had to do rounds and whatnot. However, I was able to check back in with a few minutes before deadline, see KWhit had logged on and responded, and hopped my vopte to ITC. KWhit is one of the most "cleared" (using that term loosely) people in teh game. If I were really a wolf, I would have left my vote on KWhit, watched him get voted out AND have had a legit reason to have done so. KWhit can verify all of this happened in group 3). My theory behind why no kill last night is that either wolves can only kill the group they are in or they cannot kill while under immunity - so they were prevented from killing. (Note that BK indicates that there was a potential for a night action with his comments.). Either of those theories would mean our group was clean - KWhit and I are not wolves. That means Swaggs must be a wolf by process of elimination. This is recent stuff, there's stuff that's older, but I figured that you'd want only recent things. I may or may not be able to check back in before deadline, but I'll try to. For now, and probably for good, my vote is on Swaggs. -Anxiety

Came back hoping to see serious discussion and was disappointed to see little. Ah well. I'm not changing my Swaggs vote at this point.
