I'm firmly in the Lathum/Kwhit camp against pre-determined votes.

You make a really good point here, J23. My vote was based on standard Werewolf. But I really do think there were likely no more than two wolves to start, and agree that NTN wouldn't be a good conversion target. I may have to rethink my vote given this particular ruleset. |

I'm leaning towards NTN for the voting history, but seems somewhat odd that he never voted EF to try and save himself.

J23: Your math is wrong about villager vs villager, because we know Eagles was a villager.
So the math looks like this: 2 wolves = 89% 3 wolves = 83% 4 wolves = 78% |

Why would this be a real stretch? It would have been easy for Abe to just not mention the item or state that it's gone, but instead he had a sentence indicating it was confiscated. Stands to reason--at least as possible--that the item may still be in existence somewhere in this game.

I was looking at the percentages that we'd have picked two villagers at random. When we picked out the villagers, we didn't know EF was a villager. If we pick a random villager now, then your numbers would apply. |

I'd also point to the last game where a wolf tried to use my day 1 vote against me. I layed the smack down on him and we won the game shortly thereafter.
I'll disagree forever that day 1 votes have any meaning whatsoever. Let's lynch ntn today. Yahoo, everyone jump onboard!!! We gots ourselves some voting history if we do that!! Yeah, well, were totally screwed if it turns out he's a villager. Seriously, what does the voting history tell us then. It might as well tell us that Dubb shot JFK. The only good I can see coming out of a ntn lynch is if he is a wolf. Then maybe we start looking at who voted eagle and maybe otherwise (though offhand it makes no sense to me). I think I just convinced myself to vote ntn. Heh.

You also used your brilliant deductive reasoning to lynch the seer as I recall.

Well, yeah, that would be the point of voting NTN. If he was a wolf we'd have very valuable voting history twice in a row. If he was a villager we'd know that looking back at Day 1 voting history. That's the point. |

True, but that wasn't the plan. The plan was to force your hand. It was quite obvious as that point that you were a wolf or roled villager. Instead, for whatever reason, of revealing who you were and maybe changing the game for us, you took your role right to the lynch and left us all hanging. I have to believe that's a much bigger deal than my decision to make my day 1 vote easy for me.

And J23, just to answer your question from before, I think if NTN ends up a villager what we learn is just what the reality of yesterday's vote was. Rather than dredge up Day 1 votes later in the game saying "Well, if NTN is a wolf, this could mean this and that could mean that" we'll know for sure that we had a villager/villager runoff. That's all.
It's not very much but it's at least potentially useful, whereas otherwise I feel like I'm just taking another shot in the dark. My other plan though would be to have a different 2-person runoff, just to amass more voting history. Eventually it will get settled out and we'll know more. |

I'm sure I wasn't the only villager upset with your decision to keep your role to yourself. I'm sure the two wolves were quite happy with that though.

Frigging eaglefan. I nearly duked him instead of crimson. Too. Had he fought against the lynch last game he would have been target too. Right smart play, I'll give him that.

For the record, there was nothing to be gained by me revealing. I had scanned Autumn on day 1 who was nightkilled that same night, so I couldn't even clear anyone. If you guys believed my reveal, I was a dead man anyway by night kill. So I took a gamble that I would get lucky and avoid lynch so I could keep scanning and not be NKed. That didn't work. It's not like I was taking a load of information with me. And I certainly didn't do it to spite the village, and don't really appreciate the insinuation that I did. I try to do everything I can to help the village win, even when I find myself in a crappy situation like being lynched because of the wording of the initial vanilla villager PM. (End of my commentary on previous games - sorry for the derail). |

StingPOSting from phone. Is it a safe assumption that villagers would only pass to other villagers?

With corruption being possible, I don't know that this is a safe assumption. Some of the roles have an inherent chance of corruption, and only a couple are protected from corruption, so items could easily fall into wolf hands even if it wasn't intended. Also, wolves could always pass items to try to gain trust. |

RA,
That is probably a good assumption if chosing a role, however, if you pass to a specific player, you could pass to a wolf.

If I am going to assume that we were villager/villager yesterday then I'm looking at possible wolves who used their vote to avoid the spotlight. Possible candidates for my vote today will have had to have done one of the following.
1. Voted for a 3rd candidate. 2. Voted for a candidate other than EF when it looked like he was the vote. 3. Voted for EF early and was locked into that vote.

J23 2 - ntndeacon (184), Chief Rum (198)
Telle 2 - CrimsonFox (185), henry296 (197) PurdueBrad 1 - Poli (93) Autumn 1 - Darth Vilus (178) These are the guys I will be looking at hard today. Odd that NTN is on this list, but in the event we were villager/villager there really isn't any reason the wolves wouldn't just let the village lynch villagers.

I am on the same page as Dubb. I have a theory about NTN that would be the only plausible explanation for him not voting EF. Right now I do not think he is a wolf.

So how exactly are we supposed to win this game? Seems voting history will be of no real value based on the conversion mechanics.
It's like Hoopsguys worst nightmare. |

Well, we do have the exorcist to undo some of the conversion stuff. Also, the potential for a seer and the follower guy. I'm hoping that there are some items that might help us out there as well. |

NTN
*Voted EF, then switched to J23 based on Autumn's comments about putting others in the spotlight early. *Says he picked J23 at random. *Today says he doesn't expect to see many night kills until the conversions stop. I agree with this. *I have no idea what Lathum is seeing here to explain the vote on J23. CR *CR starts the game by saying his participation will be limited. *Claims to be a "Normal Lightbringer." *Says he has an item that will interfere with an "evil role" mentioned in the writeup. *Says his item would have more power in the hands of a particular Lightbringer role. *Says his item is not a weapon. *Engaged Abe in a back and forth about what would happen if an item was passed to a role that does not exist. *Votes J23 because he doesn't like a question J23 asked of Abe. CR says: Quote:
In regards to Quote:
*CR States he passed his item to someone he thinks would use it better than he could. *CR seems to think the sheriff now has the Colt that was taken from EF during his lynch. Crimson *If nothing else during the early part of the day CF was full of jokes. My personal favorite was "We're boned!" in response to the discussion of passing all the item to the same role and then that role getting whacked. *Reminds everyone that people lose abilities and gain new ones when they are converted. Thinks maybe the Red Death has abilities equal to the lightbringers. *Thinks the adepts scan works as a 50/50 like the fool. *Votes Telle for "calling out west-coasters and not letting us sleep." *Thinks people who ask questions about the rules and items end up being wolves. *Starts posting vote recaps. *Clarifies the rules/descriptions regarding items. *Gets into a back and forth with BK. BK wants EF to name his item. CF says, "My point is the item name is not really important." *There is some talk about using an item and it outting a roled person who uses it. CF firmly believes they will not be revealed. *Says if he moves his vote to NTN it would create a tie and be no good. You have sat on your vote all day. Why wait until 1 minute before the deadline to justify it? Henry *Checks in with "Checking in... Got my PM." *Says he has an interesting theory about his item. Says he will pass it tonight to test it. *Says he is going to make sure we have a third candidate and votes Telle. *States his theory was wrong and he is still vanilla. *Reminds RA that passing to a role is a better idea than passing to a player as it is more likely the role will be good. Poli *Votes PB. While this may seem odd since NTN is #1 on the role list PB was actually the first to join. NTN was the second. Abe just listed NTN as 1 and PB as 2. Poli explains his vote before the game even begins. Quote:
*To Lathum - "Lathum, ef, it's like what ntn and telle said. Pb signed up first. Not sure why Abe is trying to mess with me." *Says something about a new D1 strat. Not sure what he is getting at here. Must be a joke? *Says he has a date and will be disappointed if he is back by deadline. Was not back by deadline. Poli must have worn his little red dress. *Gets into a discussion of the last game. *Says he is holding his vote until later tonight. DV *Darth thinks that no one should be giving away anything about their role this early. *He states his item does not give any clue as to what it does. *Votes Autumn with the following reasoning: Quote:
*Does come back before the deadline. Says he had car trouble. Does not change his vote. *Says it wasn't the worst day ever. *Votes RA due to his "pile on EF yesterday." *Says he is out for the day.

Given the wording on the seer's description, we couldn't really trust them to clear anyone anyway. We can only trust when they come up w/ a wolf reading. As for the follower, they can clear the roles that can't be corrupted, and certainly also call out wolves that do night actions I would think. |

Based on what I saw in going back through my top three suspects that were on third candidates would be DV, Crimson, and CR.

Hey all, I'm home sick today with a nasty cold. I plan to pop into the thread at some point this evening and post a vote, but won't really be around beyond that. Sorry I'm not more active, but I just don't really have the energy to sit up and pay attention to the computer.

Dubb- I appreciate your analysis and agree with much of it. I was thinking along the lines of CF and DV, as well as Poli.
One thing that is standing out to me is this though, you have in the past been very adamant about being a lot more into games when you are a wolf, then you provide this very detailed and well thought out analysis. It makes me say hmmmmm |

I was very much bothered by how ntn voted. Was he just hanging out that vote to save himself later? It was just odd not voting for EF. Especially when he's not on much. Can't remember if he was around at the buzzer. This was why I was thinking he was more guilty than EF. I actually believed EF about his reveal and didn't care about the name knowing that EF's answers and reasonings don't always make sense. (no offense) |

Hmmmmm. I hadn't thought about "cursed items". That does sound like a clever abe thing. Not sure if the servants would know they were cursed tho. People CAN pass blindly to a role but not know who it ends up going to nor will the recipient know who it comes from. But roles are definitely Lightbringer. If you passed something to Poli and Poli is a wolf, then sure you've just given an item to the enemy. |

With corruption being possible, this means this game we will have to throw out some early voting data because villagers become evil, unless we go the route of not only figuring out the servants, but who they converted and when. If I were a servant, if Hoops didn't start with me, I'd definitely want to convert him day 1. Just sayin. |

dubb, reason for my end of day defense was being wishy-washy. I was happy to hold my vote where it was but toward the end of the day I was more and more believing EF. I did not expect Autumn and Lathum to vote ntn pretty much at the same time. I was not going to be the one to cause a tie . (although others have been that bold before and NOT be lynched). I was more floating the idea out that if someone else agreed to vote for ntn at the end too, that I would move as well, but no one really bit and I had no actual proof either way.
Of your analysis CR and DV do bother me the most. CR, mostly because of voting for j23 because he doesn't like his question. Then again I need to get use to the fact that people vote day on early days for the weirdest slightest, most innocent reasons. DV, his autumn vote/reasoning is lame. |
