[Alan T]

So now that we learned absolutely nothing about the vote... What can we tell about it...

A) DT was good, Render moved for some weird reason that is unexplainable
B) DT was bad, Render moved to save him
C) DT was bad, Render moved for some weird reason that is unexplainable

I know alot of people suggested to scan Swaggs or ardent tonight, but I'm not so sure that Render wouldn't be a bad scan choice. I have felt his play today was odd all day, but don't necessarily think odd play = wolf all the time though.

[st.cronin]

DT and ardent were both pretty much MIA all day.

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Oh, and if anyone wants to know, in my dream the sun crashed into my apartment and destroyed all my nice new furniture.

[st.cronin]

No, I say our seers scan somebody else, and tomorrow we just lynch Render regardless. If Render is bad, good for us. If he's good, why force the seers to out themselves on day 2?

Works for me.. then I don't have to keep biting my tongue every time I want to say something about the game to him!

I think Deckard's role appears to be pretty powerful. I assume based on what the rules state, that he has the ability to either scan someone or do a night attack for good (but not both). The other seer role I would guess is just plain seer only and no scan. Or perhaps a weaker seer type scan (chance of failure?).

So I would guess Deckard could scan him one night and kill him the next night without ever outing himself.

Do you understand my post about why the noble sacrifice is a losing play as villager?

Yeah. Decker is our friend no doubt about it.

[DaddyTorgo]

crap. I'm not used to being on the west coast. I missed deadline hmm? ah well...today was the one day i'll likely be out of touch. The rest of the game should happen during my vacation-vacation

[LoneStarGirl]

Wow, two games in a row for DaddyTorgo... I guess he learned his lesson about gloating

[Jonathan Ezarik]

I'm wondering how the replicants attack/gain knowledge. I gather that Roy Batty can kill whomever he pleases and that Priss learns a person's role, but does Leon have any other ability other than taking out the person who attacks him? What I'm concerned about is that he (and maybe Roy if he chooses not to kill) has the ability to "spy" on someone. If we send our two Blade Runners to test AE and Swaggs, are we sending our two most important players into a trap?

That's a good point.

Sounded to me like

Brutal wolf
Anti-Seer
Night killer

But the problem is still what to do tomorrow. If he scans RendeR, and we lynch Render, then he's wasted his night action.

But would the person they scan know that they were scanned and by whom?

This is a risk we'll always have to take, I feel. We don't want Decker coming out in ANY way, I feel.

Totally agree, that's why I would urge Decker to scan somebody not on our radar.

And hope that he gets lucky and take unilateral action? I dunno...

So only one of them has the ability to scan people? If that's true then finding Tyrell and Sebastian is going to be really tough for them.

I agree with both Alan's and JE's analysis.

[st.cronin]

Well what's the scenario where he scans RendeR, and isn't either wasting his night action or revealing himself tomorrow?

If RendeR is bad, he just sits around while we lynch him. If Render is good, he has to out himself, or else sit around while we lynch him.

The only way Render makes sense as a scan target is if he can scan and kill in the same night - which I guess is possible, but pretty unlikely.

I'm not convinced at all that we'll lynch Render tomorrow. To me I'm looking at BS, Render, and Swaggs, likely in that order.

[bulletsponge]

ok quick question. DT and i were tied, how was it he was choosen to die then? was it a random roll or does someone have a deciding factor?

[DaddyTorgo]

fyi that's 3 games in a row i'm dead D1.

Although in this case I think it might have been a good thing. Don't want to say anymore since I'm just a ghost. Good luck villagers!

[Barkeep49]

I don't think we know.

[path12]

Didn't DT get to five votes first? Maybe that's the tiebreaker.

[Jonathan Ezarik]

I'm curious to see what happens tonight. I don't know what it means that the replicants have to "find" Tyrell and Sebastian as one of the paths to victory. Does Priss have the only ability to find them? And what happens if either Tyrell or Sebastian is killed? What if both are killed? Is that a risk the replicants are willing to take just to kill someone?

Conversely, do the Blade Runners kill tonight instead of testing people? If they kill, we learn if the victims are human or not. If they test, only they know the result and that knowledge could die without the rest of us knowing.

That reminds me. Wouldn't there have to be some way to tell what side those sent to Mars belonged to? Most non-reveal games I've been in have some sort of mechanism to determine the allegiance of all lynched or killed players eventually.

I've been assuming that there is some mechanism, but we don't know what it is yet. Maybe one of Tyrell or Sebastian gets that info?

Do you mean 3 games as a villager? Cause that one time you were a wolf, you did not die D1.

[RendeR]

OK, first off, wtf did I do to Cronin to piss him off? *tosses a have spent cigar on the ground*


Secondly, I'm not the only person who voted/changed their vote to force a tie. We didn't know how a tie would affect things and finding that out is worthy enough reason for votes on people on DAY 1.

And one final note Cronin, the simplest way for Deckard to not waste his scan on night 1 is to scan someone who might actually BE a replicant. All kidding aside, I was PM-ed human and a boring generic useless no ROLE human at that.


Damn, how did I get so popular all the sudden? I couldn't have done THAT well last game, I DIED.

I'm just assuming that after your vote switch that you'll get some attention tomorrow. I have no particular feelings about your humanity.

Well, that's certainly an interesting response...

[Barkeep49]

Render do you get the logic yet behind the Conventional Wisdom that a villager should try to save himself?

Of course I get the logic, its just these damn morals of mine that TELLE has nurtured for a decade that keep getting in my way!

You may want to re-read your posts then, because it sure reads like a holy crusade to rid humanity of my person =)

Crap, I'm guessing I missed a deadline? Evil NCAA GAME!

Blame the game, dude. The game. Well, that and work. Got work tomorrow. Believe it or not, in a "secret" animal testing facility in St. Louis. It breaks my heart to hear the dogs in that place. I hate going there. I think I'll be home all day Thursday and Friday, though.

I think mine was a dream, but I'll admit I barely read it. Tennis this and that. Heck, I had to double check to make sure the humans weren't the bad guys before I posted.

Took me forever to figure out when I posted this.

Don't hold your breath for me.

Just checked, the tennis thing was a dream of mine when I was six or something. Skinned my knee...became a star. Something.

About to hit the hay...later gang.

[twothree]

Got back from work. That was an interesting day one.

So it's more moral to save the life of a wolf than yourself?

[RendeR]

Well for my part, everyone appears to be human; human for human is not a trade I'd make merely for survival's sake, perhaps you know otherwise?

[ntndeacon]

I agree with BK. you gotta try to save yourself...especially early on. Now as a consoling factor you can say well at least I was only a normal peon human instead of someone important, but as a strategy that is just awful

[Chief Rum]

Not sure yet what to make of things. I will need to see how the night passes and if we find out anything new. Of course, I leave for work before the night deadline, but I only work one job tomorrow. I will be around tomorrow late, probably for the last two hours up to the deadline or so.

I'm still leaning toward bulletsponge, but I am alsotrying to digest the intricacies of yesterday's vote, and particular the moves made by Alan and Render. It might also be a good idea to look at the ones who broke the ties. I think I was even one of those, actually.
