Pass by a lot of votes you mean 1? I've pushed for one reveal, that of the Ruling Class. Furthermore reveals are good. It was the reveals which won us the last game.

Or rather, reveals are often good. In this game I think they're of less value then others, especially with the neutrals. But reveals help to form circles of trust. And that is the time proven effective strategy for villagers winning the game.

If we have one, and another reveals, can we be certain that's a fake? I've seen the protagonists make many mistakes in WW games assuming that a role can't be held by more than one person. Especially since: Post 247, hoopsguy says: Quote:

As a matter of fact, the more I think about this, the more it just seems like a bad idea, altogether.
Suppose there are two EGs, and the pharoah issues an order. One follows the order. Now, if the other reveals, honestly, then the pharoah would say, "nope" and we'd end up lynching an EG. The strategy would backfire and help the necros. -Anxiety

I was thinking of two -- for the ruling class, and the elite guard. Granted, the elite guard was something down the road. I wasn't in last game, but it just seems to me that reveals make targets. |

Actually I'm not pushing for the EG to reveal at all. Only trying to ensure we don't get caught in a fake reveal.
Anxiety: With all the bad guys have going against them I don't think it's likely that there are two egs out there. Why SHOULD we suppose there are two egs? In your scenrario, sure it's not great. But is it a likely case? |

Anxiety, lets follow out your logic a little further here and look at all possible scenerios..
A - 1 Guard B - 2 Guards C - 0 Guards Now A.1 - 1 guard and we do this strat. When they reveal themselves later on, we can verify they are telling the truth. Win for us A.2 - If we do not do this strat, and they reveal later on, we have no way to be sure if they are still telling the truth or not... We will say this is a Draw B.1 - Person reveals they are a guard, we do this strat, but they didnt end up being the guard who got the ordered. They end up not being trusted, and we lynch someone that hurts us. Loss for us B.2 - Person reveals they are a guard, we do not do the strat, the other guard reveals they are the guard, so we end up in a trust war, where likely end up still lynching one of our two guards. Loss for us. C.1 or C.2 its a draw either way since it does not end up impacting anything.. So in my mind, it only benefits us to go with barkeep's plan here. I can't see any downside from it that wouldn't already be there in the case of multiple guards and a reveal. |

Right now I think everyone has just made way, way, waaaay too much out of the whole possibility of two EGs. Hoops couldn't come out and say that there would only be one because it would go against the nature of how he did roles, however, it seems unlikely there would be two because of the likelyhood it would unbalance the game later and the interaction with the pharaoh order. We shouldn't be making dollars out of pennies, here.

anyone have a way of getting a hold of tanglewood....he always misses the deadline on the first day...he never knows what time it is here, and then we always hold it against him, so if we start trying with 3 hours to go, maybe we can actually get him here before the deadline is past.

I agree with this, and since it seems to me that Anxiety has been pushing this idea the most: Vote Anxiety It's really the only thing I have to go on right now. I don't think quiet posters on day 1 are as bad as if it continues into days 2 or 3. There's so much that is unknown at this point that speculation just for the point of posting can create as many red herrings as helpful leads.

So interestingly enough, Bek moving his vote now makes him leader for the lynch.

OK, I show one difference from Alan T's votes post above - Cronin voting for Schmidty. Here is what I have listed as of Post #336:
Cronin - Anxiety (178), Schmidty (200), Chubby (227) Schmidty - Cronin (195) Bulletsponge - Tyrith (196), Bek (336) Tyrith - Kingfc (276) Vince - Coffee (220) Dubb - Saldana (248) Tanglewood - Lathum (256) Bek - SnDvls (266), Vince (285), Qwikshot (316), Barkeep (318) Barkeep - Passacaglia (303) Saldana - Dubb (312) Anxiety - Alan T (275), Blade (315), Path (335) Bad vote - bulletsponge (216) I'm hoping that Bullet comes back to update his vote (include both VOTE and the NAME in bold) before the deadline. |

If Blade switches to Swaggs I'd be willling to also, since at that point the Anxiety vote is wasted. But I leave in about 6 minutes so it'll have to be soon.

just to weigh in on the elite guard conversation, since i realize i have been in and out of the thread twice without actually contributing...i think it is highly unlikely that there are 2 or more EG's...that would unbalance the game significantly if you consider the fact that there are other ways of being protected at night (favored by the gods, scarab of protection, protected by the avatar) it just seems to me that given all those ways of protecting players, and that there is only a 50% chance of a kill on an unprotected player, that it would tilt the scales to far to us if we had more than 1 guard

Building off the reasons saldana just mentioned I think it more likely for their to be no EGs than 2.
