WW Amazing Race - Game Over (Moles Win & Team Reebok Wins)

[mauchow]

It looks like I need one vote swayed..

If I could only see the future.

[Autumn]

Remember guys, the vote deadline is 10 EST, it's just the race deadline that is 9 EST, I believe.

[Autumn]

WEll, mauboy, NTN is my teammate, so I'm going to move my vote and hope to bury you. If you've got something important to say, don't wait too long, as I'm either going to vote you or try to get another candidate going (how about Chief who seemed to lose a lot of voters real quick).

I'm sure at this point it's nothing but it seems like as good a premise as I have right now, much better than just picking a name at random. I assume the run after than is because other people saw it and thought it was a bit weird too.

I may be going after this one particular angle too hard and if mauboy is a roled villager like he claims then I'm probably going to pay for it with my life tomorrow, just struck me as odd and I have nothing else to go on...

That sequence was a bit odd. I noticed that as well.

As I already mentioned... I had my post ready to go and a customer walked in and decided to sit and talk at my desk for the next 45 minutes which of course I missed out on posting before the vote.. I guess I kinda freaked out over being the second voter when it probably wasn't so bad initially.

Autumn, I wouldn't want to vote for my partner either, but that doesn't mean hes not a wolf.

[Autumn]

No, I don't know if NTN is a wolf, but I don't know if you're a wolf, and I have no reason to ruin my chances in the game in order to pick him instead of you.

That would be an alternative that I could live with as it seemed to be something that would have in the end worked last game. But I would be heartbroken to see an excellent villager go if he turns out to be a villager(Chief)

[Autumn]

Well, I will check in later hopefully but I have to move my vote for now to help my teammate. I'm too psyched about this game to get hamstrung this early.

UNVOTE JAG
VOTE MAUBOY1

[bhlloy]

Realistically what are the advantages behind playing as a team for the Race and the Werewolf portions of the game? Beyond it's day 1 and voting with your teammate or to keep him in the game is as good a strategy as any other?

[ntndeacon]

I think that regardless the werewolf vote then the player is still in the other half until his team loses

There is no advantage. I won't hesitate to throw my teammate under the bus if I feel like he is a wolf. I think, and others have stated, that the Amazing Race portion could really skew voting records down the line.

I'm wondering if there are some reading comprehension issues going on here.

The first post on this page (50/page view for me) seems kinda important. People may take it at face value or not, but are people really ignoring it entirely? It has been up for 20+ minutes and not one comment about it?

[ntndeacon]

I went back and looked at the other great game with small teams playing at the same time as Werewolfs...(i.e. the Olympics) We got swept and all the wolves lasted til the end.

[ntndeacon]

Unvote mau

I don't get what you mean

[Danny]

He means Mauboy hinted at being the seer

It sounds to me like a desperation move, but my vote is on ntn at this point so I can't move it off of him and help mauboy.

[GoldenEagle]

I should have stated that even though it sounds like a desperate play, we need to reconsider and look at lynching someone else. I just hate day one votes. Even though we had some vote shifting, there is no real evidence of anyone being a wolf.

[Darth Vilus]

Ah gotcha. I agree with GE (and that's rare), desperation move.

[Danny]

It's a large game, we'll have plenty of time to lynch him if he's lying. It's not worth the risk lynching him day 1.

[EagleFan]

Putting the results together.

[Darth Vilus]

it's deadline for the race part now yeah?

[mauchow]

It is what is. I am what I am.

Nvrm

[mauchow]

Since ntn pulled off me I'll pull off him if there are any other suggestions. I am open going Chief or JAG or even someone else if we can swing it in a hurry.

Unvote ntn
Vote CrimsonFox

Im trying to get a different second candidate here and picked someone who is around

[Darth Vilus]

i was reffering to my deadline question

[mauchow]

unvote ntn
vote crimson

Well, I'm a villager, so lynching me does no good. So I'll make a move to hopefully help you make your choice.

UNVOTE MAUBOY1
VOTE JAG

geez, and people bitched at that kind of metagaming last game :P
And technically that's 4th candidate.

[EagleFan]

yep. Calculated the results, starting the write up in a couple minutes.

You mentioned trying to put votes on Chief/JAG but then decide to switch and go after Crimson Fox? That is an odd vote. I understand you are just trying to survive at this point, but why not drum up support for candidate who has more than one vote?

[Danny]

Not meta gaming, just picking someone who will have a chance to defend themselves

By my calculation everyone had one vote.. Is that not accurate?

[Danny]

Uh you realize Jag had no votes when mauboy voted crimson right?

[Danny]

I take that back, he had one vote, the same number as crimson

[mauchow]

Well, hopefully this doesn't cost the villagers as much as it probably will.

[cougarfreak]

Any vote counts out there?

[Autumn]

It isn't true that no one commented on mau's post. I pointedly asked him to give something more definitive if he expected people to move their vote. If people are moving to a viable candidate I'll move. I certainly hope someone scans him tonight however.

unvote mauboy1

[Autumn]

I guess I'll go back to my original vote, as he's got a couple now.

vote JAG

[EagleFan]

The teams begin the race and you can see a little confusion for some while others jump right into the task at hand.

Team One scrambles off to find a rental car and begin to drive towards LAX.

Team Three distances themselves from the group. They head into Polo Towers and use the services inside to book their flight through to Rio.

Team Four goes right to the airport and books a flight through LAX to Rio.

Team Five is last seen hailing a cab.

Team Six seems to be enjoying the time on camera but are uncertain of what approach to take. They saw Team One getting a car and decide to follow suit.

Team Seven feels that the best way to get to LAX is to begin walking? Soon they start to hitchhike and are last seen getting into a stranger's car.

Team Eight, already known as the Rebok-UnderArmour Ultra Team also find a car and drive towards LAX.

Team Nine, the "Pair of Amazing Nuts" (as dubbed by Team Four?) goes staight to the Mandalay Bay and rents a car to go to LAX.

Team Ten is quick to get to the airport in Vegas and will fly thought LAX to Rio. They are flirting all the way.

Team Two struggles a bit as they argue all the way to the airport.

Team Five is seen getting out of their cab at the airport in Vegas.

The teams are on their way....

Driving to LAX...
Darth Vilus / bhlloy
mauboy1 / Danny
Autumn / ntndeacon
cougarfreak / PackerFanatic

Flying to LAX...
MartinD / saldana
Lathum / The Jackal
JAG / mckerney
GoldenEagle / CrimsonFox
Chief Rum / hoopsguy

Hitchiking to LAX...
Zinto / Passacaglia

[Danny]

I believe its Mauboy 7, Ntn 6, Jag 3, Crimson 2

[mauchow]

i am feeding the baby in one arm, its hard enough to keep up with the votes at this point.. where are we at?

[Darth Vilus]

Autumn that post doesn't make a lick of sense

[EagleFan]

[mauchow]

The next flight didn't leave for 24 hours I hope! DRIVING FOR THE WIN!

[Autumn]

What?

[Danny]

No it doesn't. If Mauboy is not the seer, he certainly shouldnt be scanned as the real seer would already know he's lying.

[Autumn]

Do you guys think the only role in the game is the seer? There's lots of roles mauboy could have that would make him think we shouldn't lynch him. In addition there were lots of wolves mauboy could be.
