WW 109 - Hungry for Gold (Game Over, Wolves Win, Team USA Wins) - Page 4

Passacaglia · 02-23-2010, 02:24 PM

Is a 'no lynch' vote allowed?

EagleFan · 02-23-2010, 02:26 PM

No lynch may be voted but it counts as not voting for tally sake. I need to clarify that rule as I am an idiot as I thought that I had added one more line to that statement about no lynch. It also means no scan.

Clarification on the event advantage. Each team needs to decide who from their team will gain the win bonus if someone from their team wins. That decision needs to be a majority decision from the team. If no member is chosen I will randomly select a mamber from the winning team to gain the bonus but it will not be known who received the advantage.

EagleFan · 02-23-2010, 02:28 PM

Will be on only for a few more minutes as I need to prep for another meeting (eating a very late lunch at the moment).

Out for a while, but I will pop in a couple hours from now or so.

Autumn · 02-23-2010, 02:34 PM

So much for that plan. Seemed too good to be true.

J23 · 02-23-2010, 02:35 PM

So a full no-vote scenario means everyone just spin their wheels for a day? I'm not sure that's productive.

My initial thought was what was posted. Then after I thought about it the fatal loop-hole came to mind. I thought that I had updated it when I was doing some of the event updates but I obviously hadn't.

I thought you were just trying to use the olympics as a backdrop to show us all how cooperation can save the day.

Autumn · 02-23-2010, 02:42 PM

I'm not going to be around until probably just about deadline, if that. So I've got to just make one of the initial votes. Today's day one strategy will be to vote someone who doesn't usually get a lot of attention on day one, just because the games always tend to skew towards targeting the same people day one, then spending days trying to figure out about them, and then finally getting to the rest of the crowd half way through. MartinD and Thomkal would both be likely candidates, but they're on my team, so I'm going with

Vote Telle

Vote Telle

Seems a reasonable enough strategy to me (and gives some of the more veteran players a chance to hang around for a change) - it's as good as anything for a Day 1 vote...

VOTE NTNDEACON

While I haven't played all that many games, ntndeacon tends to be one of the quieter players (from what I remember).

Danny · 02-23-2010, 02:59 PM

I was going to say that I thought it made you look like a wolf trying to screw up a possible tie plan, but then I remembered that you were the one who brought up the tie scenario to begin with, so that's probably not the case.

So..... I won't be voting for you tonight.

No real reason. Just have to vote for someone.

With all their beady little eyes And flapping heads so full of lies.

Telle · 02-23-2010, 04:01 PM

Unfortunately it's going to be a hit-and-run for me today as I wasn't at work and didn't log on until a bit ago from home, not realizing the game started today.. and I have knitting group tonight.

Sooo.. seeing as how it's Day 1, I'm just going to go with a good old retaliatory vote.

vote Autumn

Danny · 02-23-2010, 04:27 PM

Alright finished my presentation, so as soon as the handouts are done, I'll be off until well after deadline. Tomorrow and thursday are even busier, so I went be too active until Friday.

Should be around to keep up.

PB, I bet you get excited when you get a vanilla villager PM like most of us do when we get a roled PM.

Lathum · 02-23-2010, 05:03 PM

Why me PB, do I not get enough heat early in games for you?

EagleFan · 02-23-2010, 05:06 PM

Going home for the day. Just caught up to PM's (what have I done to myself?

). Will log in after I get home and start getting things ready for this evening.

Word of warning, don't expect the lynch results to happen too quickly.

No, I was surprised that the person pushing the no lynch idea was you, that's all. I view you as a more aggressive player normally, that's all.

EagleFan · 02-23-2010, 06:09 PM

PM Request. When you send in your effort PM, please make the subject reflect that. Send it to just me, you can tell your team what you are doing but sending the official request to just me will keep me from losing what's left of my mind.

What does aggression have to do with seeing a solid strategy and trying to utilize it?

Thomkal · 02-23-2010, 07:07 PM

Okay all caught up now. That was a good try with your plan there Lathum, probably wouldn't have worked like KWhit mentioned, but certainly was worth a shot.

Alrighty then, I will follow my German teammates and vote for someone who doesn't get a lot of attention on Day 1. See we are a team united already.

Typically wolves don't really care who gets lynched day one whereas a villager I would hope would still read the thread and see if they could pick up on anything, see if there are any patterns, any reveals, any strategy discussions, etc...

Autumn · 02-23-2010, 07:34 PM

I'd like this to be a two person race, and I'd like not to be one of those people. I voted Telle because I hate to see guys like Lathum constantly the target of day one votes. So I will bump Schmidty up instead. He is often a quiet player and I'd rather rouse one of those.
