I'm leaning towards believing Brian, if only for the fact that Alan is still alive. If Brian was responsible for killing spleen, I think he would have taken Alan out last night.

I think I know who Brian is hinting at that can come along and clear him. If I'm correct in this, then Brian will have my full trust. Whatever that's worth.

Go back and read yesterday morning's posts. Start with where I revealed about Spleen's death and my reveal about my role with him and my dream I had. Then look at your posts that immediately follow then our interaction.

Even re-reading it, it looks like you came out agressively at me, tossed out bait for other people to bite on, when no one bit, you changed directions a bit and tried to play along with me. Am I reading too much into these posts? I must have reread that interaction about 100 times over the last 24 hours. It just feels bad to me.

Like I said though, having a second person verify your dream story will help me feel worlds better about you.

And Brian posted this whilst I was typing, which goes right along with what I was thinking.

Isn't that sweet. Alan threatening to beat someone up because of me.

Alan T · 01-05-2007, 03:16 PM

Well Brian, like I said before.. I can only play with the cards I was dealt. I havent voted for you yet today, and am willing to let RPI verify your story as well as give a seer a chance to scan you. If I don't vote for you though, who is a good alternate vote for today?

So far no one has talked about anything this game other than me and its been frustrating.

I was mainly referring to a few games ago in the TOlkien game when someone did the fake seer reveal, and like 2 or 3 days maybe they had scanned someone who turned up dead the next day

Obviously I wasn't going to get violent with Brian, just wanted to make sure that if he said your name, I likely would have voted for him immediately

I'll be at work all day today, but should be back for several hours before the deadline... as a placeholder (based on somewhat unusual behavior yesterday):

One thing though.. you say you hinted that the person from last night might not be around, but before you did that you posted the above post a good 2 1/2 hours after RPI had left for work for the day.

Luckily he will be back with a few hours before the deadline he said so we can wait till then I suppose. But just going back and looking for your hints, and they aren't all as clear cut to me as you seem to indicate they should be.

Perhaps its just a case of me being overly dense and not seeing the hints, but for every one I see, I see a piece of opposite evidence that invalidates it in my mind some. So I still really don't know how to feel about you right now Brian.

Alan T · 01-05-2007, 03:29 PM

One unrelated thing I am wondering.. RPI escaped death last night due to what I assumed was role related. Reading back through though, he didn't know anything about his ability to avoid lynch and had actually thought he was lynched before St.Cronin clarified he was still alive.

Do we fully assume his avoiding the lynch was role related and just unknown to him? Or could it be action related and truly some form of trial? Ie: not voting for a good guy the previous vote, or that vote or something.

Lathum · 01-05-2007, 03:32 PM

Brian, why would you chose RPI fan? He was already cleared as being on the side of light

If Brian is telling the truth, I know why he chose RPI fan but spelling it out is probably a bad thing to do if he is telling the truth.

Since RPI was confirmed good at the lynch, I have absolutely no problem seeing what he says later when he comes in. I don't know that I need Brian to spell out more of his role just yet...

This may be bad mechanics from me, but I didn't want to make it too obvious that I was dropping hints. I wanted to play like I didn't know what was going on in the general communications, but be more direct in the conversations with you. In general I want more communication. In response to you, I tried to say that you weren't going to get the verification you were looking for.

I wasn't attacking you the first day. Your story sounded odd so I brought it up for discussion. i was hoping for more discussion than we got. Right now, we really have nobody to look seriously at, so we are probably looking at a random vote. If you take me out of that random pool, you will slightly increase your chance of getting a bad guy.

I've been completely open with my role and now that I named Brian, have told everyone everything I know in this game. If they want to take the time to kill me then so be it. Better me than someone important. The bodyguard shouldn't waste any time guarding me at all. I'm simply not worth it.

The rules state that some good people may survive the trial. I'd assume he was predisposed to survive the trial.

true that may be now but when you went to sleep last night you were guarding Brian's name and you possesed the only piece of information we had. IMO the bodyguard was forced to protect you last night

now now no need to get personal.

I don't think you're a moron, I just have spent way too much time overanalyzing everythign Brian has posted this game.

I guess my position is I am willing to wait for RPI for now. If RPI doesn't know anything about Brian or had no dream, then it probably is time for Brian to spill the beans as I'll be voting for him.

I don't think this is true. I think some people are predetermined to survive the trial, and some aren't. RPI was one of the lucky ones. Whoever we lynched the first day (path?) wasn't so lucky.

I guess that is a fair enough arguement. My intentions in no means were to be bodyguarded yesterday and I would ask the bodyguard to not worry about me in the future though. However I'm not one to tell others how to play their role. I'm simply just trying to make it clear that I am not bluffing and I don't have some super secret more important role is all.

You could be right and I read st.cronin's post the wrong way. I guess the only way to test it is to lynch RPI again, but I don't think anyone wants to go for that. Except for the wolves, of course.

I have no reason to doubt RPI will have had a dream but why him? It makes no sense. If Brian feels he is protecting himself or someone else by all means keep quiet but it seems like an odd choice

I think you and I are accepting completely different parts of Brian's story. See for now I am not as sure RPI had a dream and think there is a chance he will come back and say he didn't, then Brian will have another excuse for us.

For me though if RPI does come back and say he did have a dream, for me thats enough to let Brian slide for today's vote and let the seer scan him tonight to check his story. If that occurs, I honestly have no clue where I will go with my vote though.

I will have no other excuse. If he didn't have a dream, lynch me. Even if he did have a dream, go ahead and lynch me. You won't learn anything other than that I am good, and you will save the wolves the trouble.

I hate to say that I agree with Lathum (yuck) but I do. But maybe I am just not understanding Brian's full role. I feel that watching RPI was a wasted night activity that could cost us good guys in the long run.

And Jonathan, I really think that St. Cronin had already decided that if RPI was put through a trial, he would come out unscathed. Not that whoever we tried on the second night would come out okay. There are probably 1 or 2 more people just like RPI in the game

The more people involved in a race, the better the chance of picking up a bad guy as one of the options, but there are also more opportunities for other bad guys to bury their vote. The fewer people are receiving votes, the easier it is to analyze when we show that one of the people receiving votes is a bad guy.
