WW 109 - Hungry for Gold (Game Over, Wolves Win, Team USA Wins) - Page 20

hoopsguy · 03-01-2010, 07:22 PM

Still waiting on a couple of votes - Poli + Thomkal. As well as if PB will be returning to the thread.

I'm expecting movement here, just curious to see how/where.

Well trust has to start somewhere I guess.

Passacaglia · 03-01-2010, 07:30 PM

I'm here! Water for the spaghetti is going, so I should be mostly on up until deadline.

Thomkal · 03-01-2010, 07:31 PM

If I trusted Hoops enough to tell him my victory bonus, I guess I should trust him enough to vote with him too then.

vote KWhit

EagleFan · 03-01-2010, 07:32 PM

As of 954:

Thomkal 2 - PurdueBrad (904), ntndeacon (917)
Poli 2 - KWhit (889), Telle (901)
KWhit 2 - hoopsguy (932), Thomkal (954)
ntndeacon 1 - Passacaglia (938)

PurdueBrad · 03-01-2010, 07:33 PM

PB is here. Hmmm, really close vote.

PurdueBrad · 03-01-2010, 07:34 PM

I'm comfortable with any of the leading three, although am the least convinced by KWhit.

That's what happens when we win another gold, PB is becoming an international superstar.

uh, yeah. I'm feeling odd-man out here with it 2-2-2-1. It would seem like I'm the decider, except for that there's Poli still to vote, and huge potential for movement. I'm scared. Hold me.

Poli · 03-01-2010, 07:36 PM

Sorry, got distracted with dinner and phone calls.

I understand why I'm a candidate. I know I brought it up before anyone else thought about it, because it seemed illogical for the wolves to keep ntn alive.

I don't know what else to say.

vote thomkal

self preservation at this point, I'd be open to moving this, I just don't know what my availability will be.

PurdueBrad · 03-01-2010, 07:36 PM

Well, lets make this a bit easier on you Pass.

unvote Thomkal

vote Poli

hoopsguy · 03-01-2010, 07:37 PM

PB, if you don't mind please walk me through why you are less comfortable with KWhit than the other candidates.

hoopsguy · 03-01-2010, 07:38 PM

PB, if you are going to take a shot at a member of "Team Russia" why Poli as opposed to NTN?

But how did you decide on Thomkal over KWhit in your self-preservation?

PurdueBrad · 03-01-2010, 07:39 PM

I still feel mildly comfortable in the idea that ntn is likely the fool and Pass' logic on his existence makes sense.

For KWhit, it's just a matter of me needing to go back and read, and that is my plan for the next few minutes.

EagleFan · 03-01-2010, 07:39 PM

As of 964:

Thomkal 2 - ntndeacon (917), Poli (961)
Poli 3 - KWhit (889), Telle (901), PurdueBrad (962)
KWhit 2 - hoopsguy (932), Thomkal (954)
ntndeacon 1 - Passacaglia (938)

Poli · 03-01-2010, 07:42 PM

Yeah that is what I needed to do

Passacaglia · 03-01-2010, 07:47 PM

So it's 3-3? Sheesh.

That seems more likely to you than NTN bluffed at at seer/fool, hoping to flush out the seer with a role that was unlikely to be in the game?

PurdueBrad · 03-01-2010, 07:47 PM

So a tie again. Alright, lets move again.

unvote Poli

vote KWhit

hoopsguy · 03-01-2010, 07:49 PM

KWhit 4
Poli 2
NTN and Thomkal 1

That is what I think it is as of post #974.

It's definitely a possibility. All of the vote movement this evening is fun to watch. I usually play really conservative at deadline, so time to loosen up and keep pressure all the way around. I've read back at your arguments Hoops and the KWhit argument seems mostly percentages based, yes?

Poli · 03-01-2010, 07:50 PM

What the heck is going on here?

Passacaglia · 03-01-2010, 07:50 PM

At least with NTN not around, we've got no chance of a tie if everyone stays on one of these two.

Thomkal · 03-01-2010, 07:51 PM

This is why I love this game, all the movement and second guessings is such a rush

EagleFan · 03-01-2010, 07:52 PM

As of 976:

Thomkal 1 - ntndeacon (917)
Poli 3 - KWhit (889), Telle (901), Passacaglia (976)
KWhit 4 - hoopsguy (932), Thomkal (954), Poli (969), PurdueBrad (974)

Passacaglia · 03-01-2010, 07:53 PM

damn right

KWhit · 03-01-2010, 07:53 PM

I bet the wolves have a vote on both me and Poli. One of them will move their vote to win the game here in a minute.

Passacaglia · 03-01-2010, 07:53 PM

This is intense.

Hmm, sort of.

The initial premise I put out there was percentage based, but it was really intended to get some conversation out of three players. Of those, I felt like KWhit attacked the idea most and participated in direction conversation the least. This was disappointing because I really respect his villager game and would expect him to be a really good co-worker in uncovering wolves if we were in this spot as villagers together.

So the vote isn't really all that percentage based at this point. I do think there is a good chance that there are not multiple wolves on any teams, but not enough that it is driving my choice. I'm voting KWhit because he seems the most wolfish in my "villager game vs wolf game" analysis, even after attempts to drag a reaction out of him.

KWhit · 03-01-2010, 07:54 PM

Oh, I thought Poli had 4.

Eh, we're about to lose, guys.

What kind of discussion should I need to get in there?

EF said definitively TWICE that it was random? What more do you freaking need?

hoopsguy · 03-01-2010, 07:55 PM

You claiming vanilla villager, KWhit?

PurdueBrad · 03-01-2010, 07:56 PM

KWhit, I believe Hoops asked you this earlier but I don't remember your answer. If you weren't on the line at all, who would your vote be for today?

KWhit · 03-01-2010, 07:56 PM

Terribly flawed reasoning by Hoops to keep his vote on me. Seriously? I didn't give enough reasoning rebutting a theory that the moderator completely quashed?

PurdueBrad · 03-01-2010, 07:57 PM

Pass, you want to help take manipulation out of this and move to KWhit?

See, continuing to lock in on this point defending yourself (as one of three candidates I laid out at that time) strikes me as "wolf KWhit is frustrated that I'm pointing at him as a wolf with a premise he finds faulty". Between the deadline Friday night and now there have been nearly 72 hours to review the same data that I've looked at. But you've been laying back in the weeds, deflecting, rather than actively participating. I'll be bummed if you are a villager because we lose and because I think you could have helped us have a better day today.

This makes a hell of a lot more sense than the argument against me.

I only became a candidate and needed to defend this terrible reasoning in the past few hours.

And don't be blaming my play for a loss here.
