If I was on the side of no good there is a 0% chance I would convert hoops if I was given a choice. Hoops is a huge lynch target, and leaving hoops alive is just as good as a night kill. I have used that strategy many times.

No offense to Hoops, but his greatness is greatly exaggerated. I would have taken someone safe. Someone like CR or someone who voted NTN. Someone like Jackal or Autumn.

Those would have been if I was playing the smart game. For personal reasons Iwould have converted Poli.

Great analysis there Dubb. Of those you mentioned, my top 3 suspects would be in no particular order:
1-Chief Rum-says he has/had an item that might interfere with an evil, but yet isn't killed for it-could be converted. Of course he could be lying about ever having such an item too for all we know. 2-Henry-says he has a theory about his item and tries to test it-says the test failed. Until we know what that item and his test was-there's no way to prove it and could be all made up. 3-Darth Vilus-for saying no one should be giving away any information so soon. I think its paramount we get out as much information as we can early on before more conversions can take place. Because any information that comes out becomes less and less reliable after conversions take place. |

I agree with this as well. Hoops would be the last person I would convert unless I was going to out him to gain trust later in the game. |

Vote Chief Rum
He is known to be a very good villager. Combine that and his schedule he tends to get passes longer than others. He would be a prime candidate for conversion. |

I know I'm going in several directions but before I forget, the early votes bug me, especially the pile on EF and I want to look more closely at that.
EF- J23 (129 ) X ntn (138) Telle (170) hoopsguy (189) ntn - EF (131) Jackal (151) single votes at this point: pb- poli (93) Autumn- DV (178) Danny - dubb (183) Telle - CF (185) j23 - ntn (184) telle 176 - throws vote #3 out making it 3-2, avoids telling why, then when asked, gives a bad reason. reminds me of a few games ago. ntn 184 - he gives a reason for changing his vote, agreeing with autumn, but then votes randomly (so he says) off of the favorite for a weird reason j23 129 - Not a lot of feel here as he was the first EF vote. Not a great reason but not really suspicious. hoops 189 - after ntn jumps ship, makes it 3-2 again. was ntn saving hoops' seat? :P Aside from the weirdness of ntn's jump I am very suspicious of telle/hoops. |

I agree, I mean only one person has been converted so far we think. Odds are that that person is not the seer, unless the Servants were very lucky. This leads me to asking the seer and other roled lightbringers to not hold back if/when you get information we regular lightbringers can act on. I know the benefits that you can get from holding back this information, but this does not seem to be the game to risk it given the strong conversion factor. |

It scares me when several people start to have similar ideas that i do. either the thing I saw was very clear and probably a red herring, or an attempt to make something of seeming value to obfuscate the real villians. Only rarely does it turn out in our favor.
I say this because I too was looking at CR and henry. before I go that route now I do want to consider other alternatives first. |

Good work done here, dubb, but some clarifications. You have characterized what I was saying with lots of "will"s and "does", but I was believe I was pretty clear that what I was talking was more "could"s and "mights". I did not receive any instructions with my item, so any thoughts on its use is entirely my best guess based on what the item is. I don't know if it will affect the "evil role" I am guessing is in this game, based on the writeup. I don't know if the item would have more power in the hands of a particular Lightbringer role. I don't even know that it's not a weapon--just certainly not an item I would normally label as a weapon in its normal use. I also do not necessarily think the Colt Peacemaker is in the game still nor do I presume the Sheriff has it. I was merely throwing out the possibility, as I do not believe Abe's writeup conclusively removed it from the game, and reasoning that the Sheriff might have ended up with it is based purely on a read of Abe's statement "confiscated for investigation". I did indeed pass the item to the role I intended and did not receive it back, so I presume that role is indeed in the game.

vote Chief Rum
With a little backup of my suspicions, I feel better making this vote. I was worried it was just me looking for a reason since he put a vote on me yesterday. Leaving work now, not sure if I'll get a chance to get on before I head out for my b-day tonight. I definately won't be able to be around at/near deadline. |

I think that that Peacemaker is no longer in the game. I think that either there could be another or another could be made.

My item did not come with any description, so I tried to infere some of its power. The name of the item made me think about the lover role. I passed it to a specific individual. I more than willing to disclose more information if necessary.
As for the vote tonight, I won't vote for DV, given his statement that he will be out until later. Also, I think ntn is ok given the lack of movement last night. Therefore, I'm going to put a placeholder vote out there in case I get tied up later tonight. Honestly, however, this is not based on a "facts" but I also don't think we need another random candidate right now. Vote Chief Rum

Since CR is implying that I took him out of context let me find the two posts in question and I will also add my interpretation.

Just to be clear:
CR is a good villager ergo we convert him, is the logic behind the vote? Can't say I'm a fan of voting off good villagers. |

BTW, I don't have any issue with the good analysis that puts me down as suspicious. I have no way to prove otherwise. My vote yesterday was weak, but I didn't have the luxury of being around later to consider deadline vote changes. Day One votes are what they are--I even said at the time I was reaching on J23, because I didn't have any standout reason against too many people.
And when you get right down to it, none of us had good reasons, and none of us have lynched a wolf, so it seems silly to focus on my "weak" reason when few if any of the rest of you had any good reason either. That said, you lose nothing in lynching me (besides a villager), as I have no role. I have to acknowledge I am indeed a candidate for conversion, so it might be best for the village to remove me altogether. My participation is necessarily low, so I am not able to contribute as much as normal. So lynching me is not a bad idea. I don't advocate it of course, but I don't blame anyone voting for me. I will only point out that lynching non-EF/NTN voters is based on the rpesumption of NTN's innocence, which perhaps should be verified (although I think he's a villager, too--he is targeted quickly on Day One way too often).

Well failing a better candidate, 424 is making me lean towards CR. Someone who says they're an OK lynch target seems like an OK lynch target to me.

I think someone other than myself should do what I did with the third party voters and do it for the EF votes. And then a third person should snag the NTN voters.

I bolded the key parts you have glazed over, dubb. For what reasons you may have, you seem to want to make it seem like I am speaking with far my conviction and certainty than I actually am. IMO, that misrepresentation makes me appear far more knowledgeable than I actually am.

Whoops, forgot quotes italicize everything. My original quotes above are between the "my quotes in italics" and dubb's "my interpretation".

I am saying it's not unreasonable to consider lynching me, given the circumstances and analysis that is out there, and I don't hold anyone accountable for that decision. Also, for a negative decision for the village, it is the least painful decision (no role, no item, no special knowledge, limited participation). All that said, it IS a negative village decision. I am just a villager. You don't lynch a wolf by lynching me today.

While it's certainly not the worst thing to lynch a VV that gave away his item, I'm not sure we learn very much if we do in fact lynch him tonight |

Okay, I have to get back to work. I'll check in a little later. I am home tonight at least, so I should eb around for deadline (although I'll be drafting in the WW baseball league at the same time).

Well lets test the Henry thing. I'm going to be heading out, and my vote WAS going to go on DV, but I think with Henry saying he won't vote him that I am going to change my vote to Henry since he was already on my radar.
Vote Henry If I make it back before deadline I would be willing to re-evaluate my vote.

I can see not voting for someone that won't be around at deadline since they won't get a chance to reveal if a run starts on them.

The thing is though that DV appeared on 3 different peoples posted distrust list. I think he was the the only common denominator on the three. The three being Thomkal, Lathum, and myself.

If you are talking about availability then no. Please if you think I am the best lynch candidate today then vote me no matter if I am around or not. You would be foolish for voting me, but do what you must.
