Why would you want to not give away this crucial information? For all you knew EF was the seer and you were moving the lynch ONTO the seer. If I'm the Duke I normally come out and reveal it straight away as I really think that's the optimal Duke play. But even if you don't think that, once it became clear you were a viable target why not reveal your powers?

This is why I don't doubt that you, or less likely another wolf, have the power to move lynch as you claim. It's the Thor/BG part of the claim that I call shenanigans about.

To continue my argument: Especially because you had to know that by deflecting off of you you'd be the center of attention today.

So you are saying I should have revealed as Thor day one? And with the seer out there?

You have a duke like power. The end result is the same. I publicly claim Duke when I'm the Duke because the wolves have a low incentive to kill the Duke when the BG and Seer are still out there. So publicly revealing your ability to shift the lynch actually seems like a great way to distract from your supposed BG abilities.

I am not saying you should have claimed Thor. Only revealed a power you had. Chubby seems to have revealed a power (his odd statement about j23) without claiming a specific role.

Sorry, but that would have been an awful play. There was a chance someone else would get lynched out right and that would have avoided this whole situation. And if I revealed last minute, we'd be in the exact situation we are in now but wouldn't had the chance to possibly avoid revealing today.

So I should have claimed duke, then have the real duke choose to duke it to me?

Sorry, but your suggested play for me would have been terrible.

To all those who believe Danny:

Can you explain why dubb was killed? If Danny is a villager, killing dubb doesn't make Danny seem suspicious as the wolves would have thought Danny was going to be lynched. Therefore, there would need to be another reason to kill dubb. There very possibly is another reason, but this seems like an important thing to consider.

I'm saying you should have said, late in the day, "I am not the Duke, but I do have the ability to move the lynch off me and to the second place person." This has the virtue of being true and doesn't reveal you being Thor/BG or otherwise claim anything false.

Well there were four experienced players leading or tied for the lead yesterday, so I don't think the wolves would hesitate to spread their votes out amongst any of them and be happy with whomever got taken out if they were all villagers. With the apparant passing of an object between Lathum and Chubby and Danny's reveal it makes it more difficult to vote for any of them right now on the off-chance they are all telling the truth. I find it hard to believe that Lathum would pass something to somebody he's voting for today though unless Chubby's response to the passing of it gave him some information about Chubby's evilness. Danny's reveal if fake is a good one. We apparantly lost our seer yesterday and no doubt the wolves would love to get the real Thor to reveal as well.

The safer vote today might be one of the EagleFan voters since he's the known good of the bunch right now.

Hate to disappear on you guys again, but more stuff came up today that's gonna make me not as active again for most of the afternoon. Sorry about this.

I didnt come out and saw it because I wanted to see what happened while I slept. I passed the misstletoe to Dubb. Whether he died because I sent it to him or because of a separate action, I dunno. Based on my clarifying questions to JAG though, I would defer to my passing it to him causing his death. According to the rules, there is a hidden rule with items, I wouldnt be shocked if I found out the hard way.

Based on my comments, why would you assume my comments would clash with yours? I clearly stated that I no longer had the mistletoe. If that were true and you had it, you would have to have known who sent you the mistletoe. Of course, if you didn't have to pass it (when you claimed your hints yesterday were being passed to the board), wouldnt it mean you are Loki? Since that item is for his use in killing?

Is these something I am missing?

FWIW though, I can't see a wolf being as adamant as BK is. They probably would be more likely to fall in line and not risk standing out.

And I do concede as much in the post before this one. But you full well could have gotten away with the reveal I mention in 562.

I would love to hear you, or someone who believes you, explain why dubb is killed if you're a villager. I don't mean that rhetorically, as I think that's one of the pieces of evidence against you, but one which could be persuasively explained away.

What can't be explained away is that your lack of reveal predictably could have cost us a role villager and would have were it not that person's power to escape lynch as well.

I honestly don't know where Chubby got his info from, but I can confirm that I am indeed a good guy

As for Danny, I'm leaning toward believing the reveal, and even if it's bogus, I don't think it's terrible to push it off until later. If they're NKing random targets, there's a chance they hit Thor and we know who the next lynch target is at that point. I would certainly be cautious about passing him Mjollnir though until we can hopefully get a bit more confirmation.

To be fair I play aggressively as both wolf and villager.

The first point is fair, and to be honest I didn't really think of doing this.

Without looking at his posts to see if there was any hinting of a role, I honestly don't know why Dubb was killed.

I felt confident EF was not a roled player as he was the leading vote getter before the swing to me

Ok one more post before I go. I have to say I'm surprised Chubby was not the nightkill choice for the wolves. Revealing that he apparantly has some info on another player had to have made the wolves think that he might have/could get info on any of them too, which makes his still being alive interesting to say the least.

Barkeep this is a game with a different ruleset, so while I find it a very convenient reveal given his situation, I'm not ready to completely mistrust it either at this point.

I think its also unlikely dubb was killed for any information from his posts, but more likely because he can be a strong villager and a better to take out as early as possible kind of target. We likely won't know why he was taken out until the game is over I think unless someone has some info they have not revealed yet about it.

They were fishing for roled players? If that's the play it worked pretty well, but I have to say that I don't completely understand what you're looking for here.

I'm willing to give Danny the benefit of the doubt, at least for now. Not quite "trusted", but at least enough to put him into my "likely good" category.

As to why dubb was night killed? I'm guessing they were just seer fishing and got lucky. There is rarely grand conspiracy reasons for night kills, especially so early on.

And of course someone comes out with info about Dubb while I was typing this. So it could be the wolves night kill was blocked or they took some other action last night instead of a nightkill.

That's how I feel, I don't quite understand why Danny's reveal has to be connected with dubb's death.

When I'm a wolf I am trying to take out the seer followed by the BG. The two biggest threats to me. So I read carefully between the lines for any indication that a player might be one of those roles. If I don't find one of those indicators I kill off people who can be really good villagers. What I'm hoping for is that someone can point to something which dubb posted which, in retrospect or if the wolves were looking for it, tipped his being the seer. Otherwise we're left with only an attempt to take out a threat with the hope he also has a role. And in that scenario the threat could easily be to Danny as to not Danny wolves.

I'm glad he's come out and confirmed my thinking on Dubb... I think he's a bit higher on my villager trust list now, and certainly not somebody I'm looking to vote for right now

No idea where else to go with this though...

Busy as h*** today. Trying to get some time but doubtful until this evening.

My plan would be that hoops (substitute with the person that has the mistletoe on any given day) pick a person to pass the mistletoe to (if he has to pass it at all). Announce as close to the deadline as possible who you are passing it to.

If anything then happens to me we will then be able to figure out who was the cause of it.

Don't pass it to me, that only leaves me open to trouble.

I have to say I am about 75/25 in not believing Danny. It just sounds and feels....wolfy. But I also understand we really can't vote him out in the event he is who he says he is.

I want to try getting my vote in earlier today so I don't stress about it like last night..and I may not be around as much towards the deadline. I'm gonna eat my Ham sandwich and put a vote in soon.

Are you under the assumption that there is more than one misstletoe in the game?

This is actually a fair point, and one others have gotten at, but which resonated with me here. If I'm wrong about Danny the downside is considerable. Makes me reconsider whether lynching Danny today really is the best move.

I don't think people are believing it very easily. In fact I don't think I've ever seen an uncontested reveal be met with so little belief. Three or four people have commented heavily on why it might be a fake, a couple of people have said they're going to assume it's not a fake until there's a counter reveal, and maybe one person has just commented that they believe it.

Didn't realize there's a whole other page, so maybe this is answered below, but my answer would be ... because they have to kill someone? Day one they very likely picked someone who wasn't involved in the voting, and wasn't likely to be guarded. Why not dubb?

That said, I also believe it may have been because of his stance on Danny.

I can't say that I completely trust him, but still think that we should proceed with out actions today assuming he is telling the truth. We know that Thor is in the game, so if his reveal isn't on the level we'll find out soon enough. If he's a wolf there's no point pressing him on it now, we just need to hope that the real Thor knows the right time to deal with him.

I don't see how it would be a good move to lynch Danny today. If he is a wolf we could still vote him out 2 or 3 days from now. I'm not sure I believe him but I don't think we should risk losing Thor either at this point.

I don't think his reveal sounds fishy itself though. One lynch avoid for a vital village role is reasonable, especially since we don't know how his other ability works.

No reason to vote him, and I don't think any reason for a real Thor to reveal if there is one. We've got plenty of time to catch Danny at it if he's faking.

unvote danny

Oh well, it was too easy. Now back to the drawing board.

In this case though I think Danny is a big fat liar. He was all "Good luck village!" and stuff last night. Sure he could be trying to cover himself so the wolves would be less suspicious of him but it seems like it's standard wolf who knows they're not going to get killed actions and then he's seen the way the land lies today and is trying to get as much as possible out of it all by flushing out Thor or getting his hands on the hammer.

Hate to disappear on you guys again, but more stuff came up today that's gonna make me not as active again for most of the afternoon. Sorry about this.

As for Danny, I'm leaning toward believing the reveal, and even if it's bogus, I don't think it's terrible to push it off until later. If they're NKing random targets, there's a chance they hit Thor and we know who the next lynch target is at that point. I would certainly be cautious about passing him Mjollnir though until we can hopefully get a bit more confirmation.

As to why dubb was night killed? I'm guessing they were just seer fishing and got lucky. There is rarely grand conspiracy reasons for night kills, especially so early on.

I want to try getting my vote in earlier today so I don't stress about it like last night..and I may not be around as much towards the deadline. I'm gonna eat my Ham sandwich and put a vote in soon.

For people who've commented about Danny multiple times I've taken either the last post, if the comments evolved, or the post which most clearly states their position. I've also not found a good post which captures my feelings on Danny post reveal so here is my position:

I think Danny is, more likely than not wolf. I don't buy the combined BG/Duke powers. I don't think Danny's reveal is consistent with his player yesterday. But I put the percentage that he's a wolf at say a 52% likelihood which leaves a substantial and consequential % saying he is telling the truth. This would make a Danny vote a no brainer for me (much better odds he's a wolf than randomly voting another player) were it not for the downside to his vote.

Frankly, if Danny turns out to be a wolf I would be looking at Barkeep next, his insistence on hammering Danny over this feels a bit contrived.

BK, you may be 100% right that this is a fake reveal. I think most people have conceded that's a possibility. Are you suggesting we vote Danny today? I'm not sure where you're going with all this.

This is why I passed my item to him, I think it could help against a wolf attack.

I also passed it to him prior to him putting on a tinfoil hat and going crazy on me.

This doesn't clear my suspicion of Chubby for me without knowing the nature of the item. If MrBug is correct that his passing of an item to dubb may have resulted in his death then it's reasonable to think there may be an item that will kill a wolf character if it's passed to them. Lathum could have been trying for a kill if he passed something to Chubby.

So I'm going to classify people, including using Racer's post in 591, the following ways:

Strong belief: Lathum, bhlloy, Thomkal, Telle
Weak belief: Autumn, j23, Racer
Disbelief: Barkeep, Narcizo, mau

You might disagree with my strong belief people, but if you say I'll believe them until I have evidence saying not to, that is, in effect, really believing them.

See what I mean, BK? I don't think a single one of those quotes flat out said anyone believed him. They range from "it's a fake," to "well it could be a fake but let's assume it's not for now".

You've got a strong wolf vibe out of this, so I guess i can understand why you're gnawing on it, but from the outside it just feels like a bit much.

Let's assume Danny's a wolf. Who else does that implicate? Did the wolves bother trying to save him, or just vote him to make themselves look good?

I had been suggesting that most of the morning. I'm leaning away from that now, after thinking about the downside possibility more, but haven't formed a new suggested path .

And what's the point of all this analysis of who believes what regarding Danny, Barkeep?
