Werewolf XXVI: The Thing - GAME OVER! THINGS WIN!!!

[st.cronin]

How did Barkeep know Qwik was a Thing (if he's telling the truth)?

[st.cronin]

dola

What I mean is, did BK just get lucky?

[hoopsguy]

Cronin, I'm hoping that Barkeep will come forward with a little more info on this topic for us between now and Monday night. Without, of course, directly quoting a PM.

I hope so too.

It looks to me like Barkeep definitely killed Qwik, but I think the circumstances are suspicious. I wonder if we could test Qwik's remains?

[st.cronin]

dola

There is the assumption in a number of posts that it's preferable to finding 'Original Things' as opposed to 'converted Things.' I don't know if I disagree, but I think it's worth some discussion

[hoopsguy]

I agree with revisiting this. If we take Barkeep at his word that we killed a Thing last night then the odds may not be as high at targeting an original versus trying to guess who was converted (assuming a conversion took place last night). When I had initially commented on this (post #239) I was working with the idea that there were at least two Things on Day 1 and that we had better odds of hitting an original than guessing the convert.

A lot of this conversation took place between posts #239 and 243.

Going to read the link that Qwikshot put up Friday night.

Good point. I wonder this as well. In the movie MacReady tested the Doc and Clark's blood and they checked out. I think that at the very least we could open them up and see if there was anything alien in there.

Would it not be better to test barkeep and that way clear him and find out on qwikshot...he says he knows he killed a thing, not he thought...i dont get why you would test the dead body instead of him

[Blade6119]

dola, and barkeeps avoidance of my question for him in my massive points dissapoints me...and his immediate clearing of hoops and not dubb concerns me as well

/agree

Just stating that in the movie, the doc and Blair (Wilford Brimley, whom I didn't remember being in the movie) did the autopsies. Perhaps the doctor role can perform autopsies?

This is eminently sensible in my opinion.

[hoopsguy]

In fairness, I don't think anyone is clear right now, assuming that a conversion took place last night. If there is a protector role out there, then they should know of two people that were not converted last night - said bodyguard and the person they protected. But the rest of us are flying blind. That is what is going to be one of the more interesting aspects of this game.

This is where I think it is still easier to go after an original Thing, rather than chasing after a possible conversion. If hunting an original, we are looking for 1-2 in a smaller group (6-9) versus 2-3 in a larger group (15).

Hadn't occured to me that that might be a special role. I understand the "playing the odds" reasoning for trying to hunt an original instead of a convert ... I just don't think we have the pool winnowed down quite THAT much.

The more I think about it, the more I think Barkeep is NOT the way to go (not that I think he's cleared - just that he's such an obvious play, that if he is a Thing, we're being played in some way that I can't quite see). I think it makes the most sense to go after the best player who we didn't test yesterday. That's why I voted for dubb - I think the Thing(s) would have tried to convert a strong, clever player.

[Raiders Army]

Thoughts about the game vs. movie:

Schmidty said he was going from memory on this game, so I don't think we can equate the game to the movie. That being said, I highly doubt there was a conversion on night 1. It didn't sound as if there was one, and I would guess that the Thing(s) would have a shot at doing it on Night 2.

If the game is different from the movie, then there is a possibilty (not probability) that the Original Thing(s) could be the only ones that could infect others. In that respect, I think it's more imperative to go after an original Thing and much easier to snag one as opposed to a converted person.

I doubt Jeebs and Barkeep are Things because of the arguments already made. I'd focus on Barkeep's posts #289 and #292 and pick someone from his list.

[hoopsguy]

Forgot to type this earlier - sorry to hear about your elbow, mckerney. Hope it heals quickly.

Cause when I killed the cunt I found out. Test me, test him whatever the fuck you want but if you're going to fucking prick me don't be a pussy about it. Put the god damn vote out there already so then we can waste another day and have found out nothing that a little bit of Keeping It Simple Shithead couldn't already tell you. You prick me and you find out that I'm telling the truth today, but then so fucking what? You, me, your whore of a mother, we all could be Things by tomorrow. I say we have six and it's a damn nice place to start.

And as for Blade listen closely cumguzzler: Qwik was a Thing. He was a wolf. Whatever the fuck you want to call it he was out to try and fucking screw us over like a .05 whore. And now he's dead because I killed him.

And let's just be clear. Next time you fucking want me to answer one of your pissant questions why don't you fucking ask it somewhere cleary instead of burying it in the middle of a 20 page post. Then you won't think I am ignoring you, because I ain't afraid of you or your brilliance one iota.

Yeah sure I got a little lucky. But the signs were all there to be seen, once I decided to do it and so I felt no fucking regret at disposing of what needed be taken out.

What signs? It would help if we could see your train of thought.

[hoopsguy]

How much do you think Schmidty enjoyed sending Barkeep a role PM telling him to swear in every other post? LOL, one way to make sure someone else gets the "angriest man in WW" rep.

[JeeberD]

Yeah, barkeep is definitely Childs...

Coffee how confident are you with your vote on Raiders?

Not. But, reading what's been said of late...I've see no reason to change at this point. Fairly certain hoops is alright, unless he's a convert. Any of the other people up for vote, I see no stellar reason why they are a better vote than RA at the moment.

[Barkeep49]

After reading everything I think Raider's suspicion of saldana was spot on yesterday. Of the six ball sniffers I am looking at he seems to have attracted the most suspicion and for good reason. Let's nail this Thing loving bastard now.

[Barkeep49]

Vote Saldana

Let that part out of the post above.

suspect all you want jackass, you can buy into the raiders army school of logic all damn day, i know im a scientist.

as far as why i went back at RA so hard, history between us has me very wary of him....his little "i'm too drunk to read straight, but i ended up being right" nonsense from the lost game has me a little bit defensive when he starts pointing fingers.

i guess it doesnt matter though....we always have the same reactions to accusations in games that we dont actually die.

but since i still think his logic is bullshit

vote raiders army

[Barkeep49]

I guess I would like to hear more of a rationale of why we should vary from the list of six today. I think tomorrow the list is exponentially less useful but it seems like today are best hope is with the list.

[st.cronin]

I am uncomfortable with the assumption that there wasn't a conversion last night. Why in the world would we get told that there was one??

Barkeep, care to answer this question...you keep avoiding answering questions, and somehow avoiding votes as well...

[Blade6119]

I see three scenarios:
1.No conversion last night, they can only do it every other night for balance reasons(doesnt mean they couldnt still kill last night cough cough barkeep)
2.Conversion last night, can do every night(would have had to start with 2 id say...if qwik was converting it kind of makes sense why he was in the kennel)
3.no conversion becuase qwik was going to do it and he got killed by barkeep\

am i missing anything? Of those 3 im currently hung up on #1, but yes i dont think people should discount a conversion last night. The thing is, people think they have better odds looking for an original and not a convert(they say less targets with original, making it easier)....(i say its barkeep and hoops pushing, and their #1/2 on my suspect list so i dont like it one bit)

[Barkeep49]

I agree. I think there was a conversion last night. In fact I don't see much how we can win as unless we nail a Thing each day they will grow pretty quickly into an unbeatable voting block. Never-the-less, I still think taking a shot at an original Thing makes sense on Day 2.

You're right twithead I didn't answer that question. Missing your hidden question and not answering that one doesn't mean I'm avoiding answering questions. And the reason I didn't answer cronin's question is that I don't want to help the fuckers by giving away what helped me nail them. You won't like that, but I say tough shit.

[Blade6119]

So why don't you vote for me? I mean it's not like you're holding past games against us or anything. Go ahead vote for us and squander another chance for us to find a thing. You say that we're pushing for a small list? Damn straight. Why don't YOU come up with a reason why we should try and find a convert first. A convert that you admit might not even exist. So Blade or Coffee, or anyone else: Why is trying to find a convert a better idea on Day 2?

Because the list of suspects from day 1 is bullshit. It's just a wag based on nothing substantial. We don't even know if Qwik was a Thing or not, so we can't make any connections to him.

UNVOTE DUBB

VOTE BARKEEP

I just dont like your list since you and hoops arent on it. Neither of you cleared yourself in the brilliant ordeal, but yet conveniently neither of you has said anything but nice about the other...despite you yourself saying you wanted target the uncleared(by cleared i see raiders, dubb, myself, and swaggs...and jeeber)

I don't recall *ever* saying going after a convert over an/the original. If I implied it somewhere, whoops.

But then again, I'm not particularly targeting EITHER side. Shooting in the dark, seeing what happens. I'm hoping after another day of talking/voting patterns, I can make a more informed judgement.

Good. I'm glad to take the votes. I mean it wastes a fucking day, but so what? People don't seem want to find a thing, so might as well clear me for a day. Still don't get why I'm better then the list of six, but if people are going to not vote for the list of six, then I'm as pleased as a pig in shit. Just to ask again: Why is trying to find a convert better then an initial thing?

Exactly. Finding an original or convert would be an equally good thing at this point. But there's not enough information to rule out anybody, even Jeebs, who could have been converted.

Yeah but voting for the only fucker to find a Thing? That's substantial. But like I said bring em on. I got 2 votes. Who's next?

In my mind, i think taking a stab in the dark is a bad move when we have you claiming you killed qwikshot, and he was a thing. We dont know if he was a thing, or even if you are a good guy. So in my mind, clearing you today and therefore damning qwik will give us a set trail to follow. Taking a random stab at your list will likely clear a random person for one day. I see a vote for you being far more productive. Is that a good reason buddy?
