Is it just to try to shake our faith in the one player who we seem to know?

Well early on he was the only one showing decent amount of confidence on me. (Well BrianD too even with me accusing Brian at times). My early assumption was that he scanned me and knew I was good and gave me some extra leeway that others didn't give me. Then he kind of hopped onto the LSG vote yesterday very fast but after someone else brought it up. It made it feel like to me he was trying to guide the vote but not put himself out in the front, when as the only semi-cleared person he could be the best one to guide such a talk.

The final thing was after feeling somewhat good about lathum, suddenly to flip 180 on him today smelled to me like he scanned him last night and found he was bad after I brought up Lathum's name yesterday.

Obviously now that seems to all be wrong on my part.

Lorena · 01-08-2007, 06:29 PM

Another thing that's confusing me is why Blade and Mr. W are waiting til the last minute to vote? Blade was in here and Mr. W remains...

What's going on here?

Sorry, wasn't directed at you. Was referring to RPI completely ignoring my questions trying to get some sense to things. He was here multiple times, it just appeared he chose not to answer them.

Mr. Wednesday · 01-08-2007, 06:31 PM

After a great deal of waffling, I don't buy Lathum's reveal.

VOTE Lathum

To be fair, I removed my vote to give RPI time to explain his action and thoughts. I said if he didn't convince me, I was going to put my vote back on Lathum. Now though I honestly don't know what to do. I was getting a bit worried that no one was coming to save Lathum, but I didn't expect the person who would lead the charge to save Lathum would be the person I trusted the most (RPI).. Now I don't know.

Part of me still thinks of the possibility of a forced vote ability, and if that is the case, Mr.W showed up right after strongly supporting RPI with his comments saying that RPI wasn't agreeing that he was bad, but that Lathum was good.

I really really wish RPI was here talking to us.

Alan T · 01-08-2007, 06:36 PM

Well , I guess now I'm the only one with a vote outstanding. Looks like either way unless people switch votes Lathum is a goner.

I guess I'm going to stick with RPI for now. I still feel it is very unlikely that RPI has been converted, there was no nights without a night kill. I really don't know what his game is here, but Jonathan was one of my suspects too. I'll stick with the guy I trust the most for now.. but my trust is wavering big time.

Vote Jonathan

Mr. Wednesday · 01-08-2007, 06:37 PM

My vote is my own. I waited because I hadn't cast a vote yet at the time of Lathum's reveal, and I wanted to see some discussion around it. The anticipated discussion never materialized, maybe because Lathum preferred to avoid it, maybe because he wasn't available, maybe because nobody pushed him when he was available.

Alan T · 01-08-2007, 06:38 PM

With everyone voting, this is the final votes (unless someone moves in the last 20 min):

5 - Lathum - Chief Rum, Jonathan E, DodgerChick, Schmidty, Mr. W
2 - Jonathan E - RPI Fan, Alan
1 - RPI Fan - Lathum
1 - Chief RUm - Blade

Mr. Wednesday · 01-08-2007, 06:39 PM

If Lathum turns up good, we go after RPI-Fan tomorrow. But if he turns up bad, I don't think we can say that anyone is off the hook.

st.cronin · 01-08-2007, 06:40 PM

That's what I have as well, Alan.

Ok.. my red flags are going up big time. I already commented about how I felt earlier that RPI was having some vote influence power used on him, then shortly thereafter Mr.W shows up supporting RPI's move telling me that he wasn't agreeing with Lathum, just he found something fishier in Jonathan's post (After Lathum acused RPI of being bad).

Now Mr.W is setting it up that if Lathum is good, we go after RPI tommorrow? I'm sorry but this really smells to me like someone is influencing RPI's vote here and we see who is playing traffic cop with it.

Alan T · 01-08-2007, 06:42 PM

So if RPI's vote is being influenced, and forced onto Jonathan.. then I'm guessing Jonathan would be good.

Unvote Jonathan
vote Mr. Wednesday

Lorena · 01-08-2007, 06:44 PM

I think Jonathan might actually be good based on LSG's vote against him yesterday.

Mr. Wednesday · 01-08-2007, 06:44 PM

If Lathum is good, given his reveal, how do we NOT go after RPI tomorrow?

I never supported RPI today, I only made sure that there were no misunderstanding about what he had plainly stated.

So what do you mean by his vote being influenced? Can someone actually do that cuz I haven't seen it in any WW games I've played.

Jonathan Ezarik · 01-08-2007, 06:46 PM

Mr. Wednesday really feels wrong, now. I'm not going to move my vote because I think Lathum's reveal is a total crock, but Mr. Wednesday is a good vote in my book.

Something just occurred to me: Is it possible that Lathum was being controlled, too? If Lathum comes up good, what does that mean?

Lorena · 01-08-2007, 06:47 PM

So if Lathum is being controlled, is that why he hasn't come back since the reveal?

Lorena · 01-08-2007, 06:47 PM

*assuming he's being controlled.

Every now and then in WW games a bad guy has the power to 1 time (or maybe multiple times) influence a single player to vote a certain way. That player is given fairly strict guides to what they can and can't say or do usually. Its a way of getting a trusted player to vote in a wolfish way. (Just like whats happening here)

Someone (path, I think) was getting blackmailed in the Musketeers game, and I believe one of the actions (aside from also challenging people to a duel) was forcing a particular vote.

As has happened in a previous game, Alan takes an exceptional ruleset and jumps to the conclusion that there's a repeat of it in the next game...

Lorena · 01-08-2007, 06:49 PM

Interesting, if 2 people move their vote off of Lathum onto Mr. W, it's a tie.

Alan T · 01-08-2007, 06:49 PM

I find it very unlikely that two players could be controlled on the same day.. but guess anything is possible I suppose..

If Lathum ends up good though, that means we just killed our new seer I guess...

I'm back to almost not trusting anyone again. Right now I feel somewhat good about both Jonathan and Dodgerchick.

Yeah, but right now, you seem to have about three different people getting unduly influenced, all at once.

Jonathan Ezarik · 01-08-2007, 06:50 PM

I'm willing to move my vote. Mr. W smells real bad to me right now.

Mr. Wednesday · 01-08-2007, 06:50 PM

Dola, I think the most likely scenario is that nobody is being influenced.

Don't be making me out to be the bad guy here. This has been in several games before. Not just one recent game. In my mind its a very good possible explanation. Much better than the RPI is really bad even though he scanned as good at the lynch.

So I went from "real good" to "somewhat good"? I dropped

Wow, it's so hard to read Mr. W based on his lack of votes on Days 2 and 4. Ugh, so confusing.

The argument for RPI being bad now is conversion, a well-known mechanic (more common than vote or action influencing, in my experience) that is frequently used on a trusted player.

That said... it seems odd that if he were converted, RPI would get used to make a kill, unless a mechanic were also in play requiring it to be done that way. I doubt we're up against fewer than one original bad guy, and it would be foolish to expose your mole by needlessly using him for a night kill.

I'm not sure what you mean by him being his same ole self here. He's been very invisible most of the game then suddenly pops in when all of hell breaks loose. Seems to be more of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde here.

I've talked about conversion a few times. Its still a possibility of course, but usually to convert someone you have to give up a night kill which as far as I am aware hasn't happened. Thats why I have found it less likely till now.

In my opinion, thats not far off his normal play style..no offense intended

Alan T · 01-08-2007, 07:00 PM

Well deadline is here, so guess we get to find out if Lathum was telling the truth or not next. This should be fun.

Oh man... the anticipation

Mr. Wednesday · 01-08-2007, 07:02 PM

I am normally quieter early on, I'll admit that, but I think I've been more UTR than normal this game. I mean, it's highly out of the ordinary for me to miss votes.

I really don't go in for contextual analysis, which is literally about the only thing going on day 1 and not far off it (barring unusual circumstances) on day 2.
