If by drunk you mean bored at work ok.

I'm saying this:

Based on all the things you mentioned in your post, I think that it is more likely for their to be no EGs in the game then for there to be two EGs.

Something like this
60% - 1 EG
25% - 0 EG
15% - 2+ EGs

A.2 - If we do not do this strat, and they reveal later on, we have no way to be sure if they are still telling the truth or not... We will say this is a Draw

B.1 - Person reveals they are a guard, we do this strat, but they didnt end up being the guard who got the ordered. They end up not being trusted, and we lynch someone that hurts us. Loss for us

B.2 - Person reveals they are a guard, we do not do the strat, the other guard reveals they are the guard, so we end up in a trust war, where likely end up still lynching one of our two guards. Loss for us.

C.1 or C.2 its a draw either way since it does not end up impacting anything..

So in my mind, it only benefits us to go with barkeep's plan here. I can't see any downside from it that wouldn't already be there in the case of multiple guards and a reveal.


I woke up from a nap and read this and had to reread it three times. I knew it was important somehow, I just couldn't wrap my head around it.

Maybe sleep helped, but I think I figured it out. All of this is predicated on the pharoah being a good guy. I just realized that I was reading this again in order to figure it out.

Are we sure that's true?

I just don't think this strategy will work as well as any of us hope it will.

I just want to say that if the pharoah is a bad guy he's a crappy pharoah. The guy could change a nation's religion and did. In fact it's thought that the change of religion by Tut's father might have led to Tut being murdered.

Anxiety: You're wrong on the idea that this requires the pharoah to be good. It merely requires them to tell the truth. In the thing game, CW was bad, but continued to tell the truth. The same thing could work here. That said I still think the initial pharoah is likely to be good. 90% likely if I had to put a number on it. Perhaps even higher.

So, 3 way tie for vote lead between cronin, swaggs, and bek...who wants to cast the deciding vote(though, none of the 3 in question have their votes on any of their rivals)

Im giving him a pass on day one with his location, but i will not allow it pas that. Ive seen him be active and this deadline is later then most other games. I hope he shows, but in banking on one of bek, swaggs, or cronin deciding things.

I think saldana is our best hope there.

And I agree Tangle doesn't get a pass past day 1.

Bek is in thread, so im leaning towards him saving his own neck. His vote change that put him in the lead was so perplexing that he might not though.

He is either in Europe or Australia. I don't remember which. usually he is in during the day though and misses the deadline if I remember right. He should have been in by now though.. however I don't like to vote away non-voters on day 1 usually.. dunno what happened to them. But anyone who hasnt showed up or participated much past day 1 is going to be considered on day 2 by me.

He is in England. And he often has shown up already. Still want to hear from him. Ever since poor Mark Vaughn was railroaded in his only game I try and give some leeway to our overseas brethren, though not too much

I still feel bad about that one, though he did turn out to be a spawn to be fair.

What is the reasoning for the current swing towards Swaggs? Is it because he has not checked in?

Especially as the reasoning that got everyone there was faulty, in that no one attempted to sabatoge the mission. The dice just rolled really poorly.

There was a swing to bek for not checking in and not voting, and now bek has voted 3 times...swaggs and tangle have yet to vote/talk, and since tangle in UK were letting him slide and voting swaggs.

Hey Swaggs.

So what is it with people showing up with long abscense and simply voting? Did I miss a memo or something? I hate to not be in on what the cool werewolf kids are doing.

iirc, the pharaoh loses the tie break if he kills an egyptian, so i would rather not have that happen on the first day.

Pharaoh doesn't lose tiebreaker if he kills a friendly, he loses duke if he uses it to kill a friendly.
