Werewolf XXXIII: Animal Farm (SEE POST #4 FOR ALL UPDATES)

[Poli]

Good luck, fellas. I'm about out of here for the day/night.

[saldana]

since it went so well for me in the last game (and because he is one of the few people that doesnt have one yet)

vote realdeal

[Passacaglia]

I think BrianD is the only person we haven't heard from.

VOTE BRIAND

[path12]

Two things.

First, yes, the deadline is not going to move at this point. Sorry for the confusion.

Secondly, thank you for the recap, hoops. I sent my master sheet to the office this morning, but it does not seem to have arrived.

Wow, bad weekend to be out of town. I'll have to remember in the future to not go away on a weekend before the game starts.

I'm here and done with my Monday morning meeting. I find it interesting that people are revealing their animal. We have a few specific animals for roles, and it will be easy to narrow those roles down if everyone is so free with their animals...

[hoopsguy]

Path, a couple of quick questions:
1. Can we assume that Pilkington shows up as evil on Snowball's view?
2. Does it take any action for the bad guys to "activate" the sympathizer? Or, to be more direct, do they retain their kill for that night action in addition to gaining Minimus?
3. Just want to clarify - the sympathizer was randomly generated among the ordinary villagers/animals, not all animals, correct? Cannot be a special role like Clover or Moses?

Dude, it's just one vote! I don't think you're actually suffering from being out of town.

Bek voted him already too, so your vote made him the vote leader i believe(or tied for it)

He's tied for it I think if my count is correct

[BrianD]

Tied for the lead indeed. I guess now I need to

Vote Swaggs

to save my skin.

I know Bek ended up checking in later, but at the time you posted this, Swaggs, he hadn't. Why didn't you mention him?

My bad, I missed Bek's vote amidst all the chatting. Anyway, BrianD, now that you're here, I'm willing to move the vote.

[Lathum]

Sorry I have been kind of quiet. We moved last week and spent all weekend unpacking, etc... plus, I am on dial up right now because the phone jack in the office doesn't work so we can't get our DSL untill they come today to fix the jack so I am not as eager to log on and check the thread.

I'm not really upset that you voted for me. Sure, I would prefer that you vote for someone else, but I was just trying to mix things up a big. Nobody deserves a vote on day 1, so it is pretty much unfair to whomever gets kicked out early.

1. Correct. Pilkington would show up as evil if viewed by Snowball.

2. The sympathizer will be activated automatically once a revolutionary is killed. The revolutionaries would retain their night kill for that night.

3. Correct again. The sympathizer currently believes they are a Barnyard Animal.

[Grammaticus]

I’ll vote for someone who has not yet voted, seems like as good a reason as any at this point.

Realdeal

not to be a stickler or anything, but gram's vote shouldnt count.

[Grammaticus]

Okay,

VOTE Realdeal

Sorry

[RealDeal]

Probably going to change, but I'll vote for someone who I haven't seen much in WW games and has been a little under the radar. Nothing personal.

Vote Conflaguration

[BrianD]

Is it bad to have the same person get voted out first in two consecutive games?

[Swaggs]

Bek had already voted when I posted it.

Gotcha. No problem.

[Swaggs]

Self preservation time, unfortunately. But, at least the choice was made easier for me, since he voted for me.

Unvote Lathum.

Vote BrianD.

We could work out a deal....gang up on someone else?

Since Lathum has since checked in and I was wrong about the deadline, I was already thinking about switching to Anxiety, since he kind of oddly defended Lathum after I voted for him. Sticking your neck out for someone else is kind of a strange thing to do on day 1, so that has stuck to me in the early going.

Works for me.

Unvote Swaggs
Vote Anxiety

No he hadn't. Your post was #106. Bek's vote was #131.

[Swaggs]

My bad. I had been looking at hoops' vote tally and saw Bek's name on it, but looking at it again, it was b/c DC had voted for him, not because he had voted.

[Swaggs]

Even though Anxiety is fellow Mountaineer alum, I feel better about my vote this way:

Unvote Brian D

Vote Anxiety

[path12]

Vote count through post #180:

Anxiety 3 -- ardent (146), BrianD (177), Swaggs (180)
BrianD 2 -- Bek (131), Passacaglia (153)
Swaggs 2 -- Anxiety (107), Lathum (144)
RealDeal 2 -- saldana (152), Grammaticus (169)

But geez, it was just post #98 when I said we hadn't heard from Lathum, Bek, and BrianD! Then 8 posts later, you come in with the same type of comment, leave one out, and throw in a vote as well? I understand the mistake but...well, there's not much else to go on Day 1.

Hey, I explained myself.

Do what you gotta do.

I didn't defend Lathum, I attacked you. You could have voted for anyone and I would have still voted for you. So, not only do you jump on someone who is not checked in early, but then you also misrepresent what I say. Seems fishy to me.

I thought the vote was due last night and wasn't sure of my availability the rest of the day, so I voted for one of the handful of players who hadn't checked in yet. I explained why I voted for him in the post I voted in and, a few posts later, I acknowledged that I was confused about the deadline.

Why is that any more fishy than picking a name out of a hat, picking the hottest player, voting based on prior games' results, or any other useless reason to vote for someone on Day 1?

On the other hand, you attacking me for making a first vote against someone that had no votes up until that point, is fishy.

[bulletsponge]

my head hurts

That's what you *claim*

Not a claim. A fact that is pretty apparent. It is also a fact that you strangely came out of nowhere to jump on me--maybe you know something about me or Lathum that caused you to do that?

Hopefully, if anything good comes of this, it will divide the rest of the crew to vote for one or the other of us and leave a voting trail. That way, if I get lynched, it won't be for nothing.

I am, in all likelihood, out until close to the deadline, if not after it. Should be some interesting reading for me to catch up on when I get back.

Vote Conflaguration

Under the radar? Sorry, force of habit, what with my lurking days and all.

Eh, what else do you want me to say? It's the first day, we have nothing to go on, my vote has been for someone who's voted for me for pointing something ridiculous out, should I be doing something else I'm not aware of?

[RealDeal]

no worries, conflag. Like I said, I have to vote for someone. No one has a particularly good reason to vote for anyone on day 1. My vote will probably change anyway once we start seeing a couple of candidates break out of the pack.

[Conflaguration]

Actually, I was over-reacting to your statements to prove a point. No worries here either.

[Blade6119]

Well, we have anxiety getting ganged up on by 2 of the 3 2nd place vote getters...getting interesting indeed...considering swapping to realdeal to make it even more interesting. I think the closer this vote is, the better. Hopefully ones a wolf and we force their hand a little...not sure yet, but my retalitory vote on grey means nothing and unlike many other people i dont hide on day 1.

[Blade6119]

dola, hoops needs to make a move soon...im always interested in where he goes, now more so then ever since he is the last non-vote and its a close race

[BrianD]

I would love to keep an eye on this race (especially since I am in danger), but I'm off to dinner and class. Hopefully we'll learn stuff from today and have a more lively round tomorrow.

[hoopsguy]

Blade, I'm going to be voting between Anxiety and Swaggs at this point.

Didn't figure I would end up as the last non-voter with this much time between now and the deadline. But since we are at that point, I'll probably hold off until I can actually do more than skim the afternoon posts. I'm hoping we have something here - and I don't let myself get hopeful on Day 1 all that often.

Why not brian or realdeal? both are right there in the race...sorry, im starting our dance early

[RealDeal]

unvote Conflag
vote Blade

Hey, why not blade? He's in the race, too. Why not vote for him? He's right in it. Hey, let's mix things up a little bit. Hey, I want to pk three or four villagers real quick before people get sick of me and kill me off. Hey, I can be like blade, too. Hey, you know he's acting really suspicious, talking to bek in the thread like a teenage girl on the phone after school. Hey, look Blade has two votes already, why not him?

[GoldenEagle]

Unvote Dodgerchick

I guess it is time to get serious on Day 1.

I have done nothing to provoke this...just dissapointing...and people call me immature
