Geez, what a nightmare of a start. Not to sure what to think of bullet. If he is an assassin, there is no way for us to be sure if he is good or bad. I'm fairly certain we will find at least one wolf amongst the realdeal voters.

I'm willing to be persuaded tomorrow, assuming I don't die tonight, and I'll read up on any cases someone wants to build.

I am very suspicious of GE's actions. He would seem to have information about who is a wolf from his power of smell, and suggests such, but doesn't ever give us anything to go on? If you have this power and are good, why just suggest? Why not make a stronger and more directed accusation? Why would you ignore requests from others here to explain yourself? If you don't have this power and are good, what exactly are you trying to do? Lead us down false paths? Set yourself up as someone to protect because of our belief you have this power when you don't? Or is this all just you jumping on what we have read in the narrative and trying to be a clever "hide in plain sight" player? And that is all above and beyond the weird vote patterns, and avoiding the vote at first when we were in a dead heat? All of this just smacks of weirdness. Too weird for me. It's too weird for a bad guy either, I think, because it is too much in the open, and so much can go wrong with playing this way so early on. Remember, everyone, we have more than one type of bad guy here, and the other bad guy wants Chaos dead, too. There are mutants among us, and I believe GE is one of these mutants. Even his power suggests mutant ability, although that's probably not meant to be the case (I don't think tangle would make it that obvious). GE may not be a bad guy, but he seems every bit someone who isnt entirely working with us to catch the bad guys either. I can't vote yet (before the night action, and won't be able to until close to the deadline tomorrow), but unless someone puts up a compelling case tomorrow for someone else, or if the night actions make a lynch obvious, I will be voting for GoldenEagle.

The night passes peacefully without major incident. You all arrive at the chamber for the days new council session in full compliment, RealDeal excepted of course.
Day 2 Deadline is 9PM EST |

I tried to warn everyone about RealDeal. I knew he was not chaos and came out and said so. No one listened to me then. That is also the reason for my strange voting. The Alan T vote was totally random. I pulled his name out of a hat. I then saw that RealDeal was in trouble and that I needed to tie things up for RealDeal so that he could have a chance at advancing. I then simply got things mixed up and voted for BrianD instead of bulletsponge. My intention all along was to tie things up. If I were chaos or mutant, why would I stick my neck out for RealDeal, who turned up clean?

I don't know if GoldenEagle is good or bad, but I think I now believe that we shouldn't give any extra weight to his actions. I was under the impression that he was trying to give us a clue by unvoting for Bullet after the results were finalized, but I now think that he has no special knowledge of anyone (or at least he didn't at that time), and we should treat his words like those of anyone else.

i'm interested to see if anyone knows anything about last night....why isnt anyone dead...there are 3 possibilites
1. path is the only person that can kill at night and couldnt because he was in jail (extremely unlikely) 2. there was an attack that was somehow repelled (someone should have info) 3. there was a conversion (we are not likely to get any information) |

I simply unvoted for bullet because my vote for the day came in too late and I did not want to cast a vote that early. No clue should have been taken from that. But, it should be noted that I did try to shift the pressure off RealDeal.

Someone who was protected by someone else would know they had been attacked but were protected. That is valuable information and not giving anything new to the bad guys. Also you never responded to my post from last night GE.. Alot of it was directed to you. |

I do understand your unvote now, and it makes sense. I'm not sure how much credit you get for trying to shift pressure off RealDeal since you had no way of knowing that he was good. Odds are good that whomever gets picked first will be good, so trying to shift pressure off of an initial lynching target rates as neutral at best. |

I'm not sure what to think about GE. He certainly made it easy to suspect him by his switching around, and the last time he moved after the deadline was weird also. I don't think I'm ready to throw my vote over there yet though.
As for why there was no night kill, I agree with Saldana that a blocked attack seems most likely. We've already talked about the slim chance of conversion considering there are three sides here and only 18 or so players, and I really find it hard to believe that cronin is the only person who could kill at night. Very curious all in all.

I disagree. With all the people that voted for him, odds are good that at least one of the voters was Chaos. If the Chaos know who each other is, it would be helpful for them to pile on the bandwagon. |

Don't discount bullet's group. At least people that were voting on realdeal had a reason. People were piling on pretty quick to bullet in the early going for absolutely no reason. Although, not sure how easily anyone could go from bullet to realdeal without questions being brought up.
Having said that.. my participation is going to be lower today than normal. (Birthday) so, I'll be out and about.

I already explained it a bit, but I will do it again. The vote for Alan T was random and I just pulled it out of a hat. I had no evidence on Day 1 on anyone except RealDeal, so I decided to cast a random vote and see what happens. I then voted for BrianD without checking he was that one that RealDeal was up against. I got my b's mixed up and tried to change it to bulletsponge so that a tie could be created and that we could possibly save an innocent.

No, I saw your response to why me. Doesn't make alot of sense to me to be picking someone out of the hat there with the votes the way they were, but if thats the reason then ok. The thing unanswered that I asked about last night and others have hinted upon today... You seem to be throwing around alot of things as "fact" right now. You -knew- one of a few people were a wolf, yet didnt vote for one of them. When people asked about it, you avoided the question. You -knew- realdeal was good... people asked about it and you are avoiding it. I guess my main curiosity right now is are you throwing these facts around as just a way to try to influence the vote, or do you really know these things? |

I am not going to claim nor deny any special powers. But the fact of the matter is that I tired to shift the pressure off RealDeal and even changed my random vote to try to create a tie. RealDeal was clean.

I also realize that strategically you may not be able to say much on this topic. I'm just trying to figure out if you are trying to give us subtle hints, if you are chaos and trying to claim you were right with the RealDeal "guess", or if you are just trying to figure stuff out like the rest of us. |

Reading Chief Rum's post at the top of this page makes me wonder if he is on the good side. He mentiones that GE's potential smelling ability sounds mutant-like and we should get rid of him. While the mutants need to eliminated, it would seem that working with them for a little while might be helpful. If they can help us sniff out the Chaos, then we can save plenty of humans. The only danger is to make sure that we don't kill the last Chaos before we take out the mutants. I'd be uneasy taking out a mutant that could smell Chaos before we got some good intel.

Anyone talking about circles of trust on day 2 is highly irregular.. you need at least get to day 3 and for our folks who can scan for Chaos to know who's clean to even START building circles of trust.

Our first and only goal SHOULD be to isolate Chaos. If we can do that then the Mutants can be found out and executed for their impurity.

I really want to vote GE right now, but if hes good his power is too useful. If he would cooperate and tell us what information he has, and more the the point who he scanned last night, i would be more happy to go elsewhere. But all day yesterday i asked him questions about his actions and he mostly ignored them. If he has information, he needs to share it. He is not a hidden seer, he is very much in danger. The fact nothing happened to him last night only worsens my fears.

Im not going to vote GE today Blade. The reason is the same reason as I didn't vote realdeal yesterday. I think the risk vs reward is too great. He's being really shady right now and that could be due to many reasons, some bad for us, some good for us.
Its obvious he doesn't want to answer right now anything that we are asking of him, so I'm not going to push anymore. He's definitly not in my trust list right now however. |

Is anyone up to speed on the mythology of this "universe?" It is pretty confusing to me so far, especially considering I had to play catch up after yesterday's busy day, so I didn't really get to experience things in real-time.
Without giving too much away, I feel like the roles/traits may be related, but I am curious to see if we have any 40,000 experts that may know a little bit more. |

I don't trust him entirely by any stretch, but let's face it Blade -- you can't lynch the seer. No way I vote for GE.
No idea who I will vote for yet though.
