No, you are right, only the titans loyal to Cronus must die for the Olympians to win.

Checkin in. The way things have been going lately, I won't have an internet connection in the morning (because it's cold out) and I can't access at work. That means at best I'll be able to check in during my lunch tomorrow and at worst I'll be able to check in when I get home tomorrow night.

Catching up. I don't know how we can if it's essentially secret voting.

By the way, checking in too, I guess.

OK, so we can't reveal, and we can't really get full info from voting records because of the point totals. Seems well balanced so far.

All right, I am here now. I will be away at work tomorrow day (as usual), but I got a "gift" from my second job and they actually scheduled me off Tuesday night. So I should be around to put in a vote and an action.

But, no, not planning to do any of that now. I think a mass reveal is a mistake, but I think you guys have already come to the same conclusion.

Checking in... Mass reveal would be awful and we really shouldn't consider it at this point. Maybe when key roles need to be revealed later in order to save yourself (standard). And I'm an olympian.

With under 12 hours remaining, the current votes are:

Hoopsguy - Barkeep (60)

Reminder everyone must vote or you will be punished for non-voting. All actions and AP usage needs to be received before the deadline as well.

Checking in.

So not much going on yet. Looks like the consensus is that a mass reveal is not a good idea.

Are we interested in revealing how much we add to our votes? Or is there too much room for lying involved in that since there's no real way to check it?

There is really no way to verify it. Alan has mentioned that the amount of action points is pretty much a GM-player only conversation, so even if we anounced it, there is no waqy to verify. Lots of room for "Titanic" lies there.

I'm still confused as to what's going on. These victory conditions are hurting my head. Maybe I've been gone from the game for too long. Maybe I've got too much Pardus and HS football on my brain.

Just a FYI: You're likely not to see me at all on Friday. I'm working at a hospital in Belleville, IL then driving down to Perryville MO for a wedding rehearsal. If things go well, from there I'll head to Fredericktown MO, where my 5-3 Potosi Trojans (I scout/consult for the team) are taking on the 8-0 Fredericktown Black Cats.

I will have to log in at some point and register my vote so not to get penalized. Don't penalize me personally when you wonder where I'm at.

thinking I may lay a vote on Neon Chaos today, based on his pushing for a D1 reveal. I can see a Titan sticking their neck out to try to advocate that to try to gain information, and it's as good as anything for a D1 vote right now

VOTE NEON CHAOS

*disclaimer* subject to change, although I likely will be away from the computer from 5pm-8pm or so

I think to a certain extent we should make this public info. I think keeping this stuff secret leaves too much room for the bad guys to maneuver and manipulate. So, I'm not sure where my vote's going to end up today but I will be using my full 5 AP on it.

Just to be clear BK, there is just as much room for manipulating the votes if we announce them. Its the lack of verification of what people added to their votes that creates the problem.

I think BK is suggesting that if we announce what we do, we're at least more likely to find out who's lying.

DT, I was contemplating it, and from what I gather, Barkeep was also thinking about it as well.

After further discussion, and clarification from AlanT, it seems that there are certain factors that would make a mass-reveal unhelpful to the village, as opposed to how succesful that strategy has been the past couple of games.

BK even suggested a humans-only reveal, to which I said would be more disasterous. That would cut the field down as to which players could be Olympians, and help the Titans.

I didn't push hard for a reveal, you're the one trying to say that. If you didn't see the advantages of a Day 1 reveal before AlanT explained all the disadvantages that he put into place, then you didn't understand what I was talking about. Or are you playing dumb?

As it is, I am only putting one point into my vote. I have a certain ability that I can use at night that would require me to use 4 points, and I intend on using that ability tonight.

For now, though, for feigning ignorance...

I have to vote, so, in order to determine who my initial vote will fall on, I rolled a d20. I'd re-roll a 20. That means there is a 1 in 19 chance that I would vote for anybody, including myself.

I rolled a 14. Who is that?

Me. I rolled my frickin' self.

Well hell

I will follow the lead and announce that my vote with be just 1 ap. (no, really?) I have an ability that I have never seen before in WW and I want to take it out for a spin and see if I can do anything with it.

not feigning ignorance. just seemed that you were pushing a bit hard at it. and BK hasn't escaped my eye either for his pushing.

with so many roles i don't see the advantages, so many places to hide and i trust alan to have constructed the game so it wouldn't be that easy.

interesting. so you have announced you intend to use an ability tonight...that's a good piece of information for us all to have.

like i said, my vote is subject to change. it's just D1

You know, we need a rule where a person can just jump on day #2 because day 1 is really my least favorite day. Anxiety, nice method on the vote! The reveal discussions by several bothered me but it may have just been attempts to find an easy victory. We'll see where my day one goes ultimately but I'll go

vote Neon_Chaos as a placeholder.

I think that's basically what a no lynch vote is. Or, you could start with a Night 0, and let the wolves go first.

Thanks Pass, never realized that that was what Night 0 did but knew that I had enjoyed the difference. I guess I never really put 2 and 2 together.

That is correct. The more information we share, the easier it is to start to figure out who might be lying or not telling the truth. I am in favor of sharing info in general and while it seems that roles is not the way to go, I think sharing how many points we're putting behind our votes is a start. I have announced what I'm doing today and followed through. In essence right now Hoops has 5 votes. How do the 2 votes for Anxiety or Neon Chaos stack up compared to that? We don't really know. This is why I want to share our voting.

Quite possibly the most insane move I've ever seen. I see Pass has joined you, so I'll make it three. Let's see who you move your vote to.

I have to admit I've been tempted to join the Anxiety vote train. I despise self votes and am not such a fan of the rolling the dice for D1 either as it makes it easier for someone to deflect responsibility for the vote in the long run.

And thanks to Raiders for including his AP. I believe we're looking at the current rough vote total:

Anxiety (3) - Anxiety (1), Pass (?), Raiders (1)
Hoops (5) - Barkeep (5)
Neon (2) - Purdue (?), DaddyT (?)
DT (1) - Neon (1)

Again, not to belabor this but how can you learn anything from that BK? So everyone announces the AP's they use, seing how there is no way to know how many AP's actually got put out there, anyone could simply lie through their teeth.

Even if Alan announces the total AP's spent, that still really gives us nothng other than the aiblity to suspet every person that voted for the guy who's numbers don't add up.

I'll join in and use 1AP to vote, dunno who I'm voting for yet.

I'll vote Telle. She's always fairly well trusted. I don't recall her being a wolf much so I'm betting she's due.

I'm not really sure if we can legitimaly claim how many points we are using to vote.

This may have been mentioned but since everybody has an individual action as well I think it could be easy to confuse someones use of action points as sinister when they could actualy be using them with good intentions.

Absent any other reasoning, I'm not a fan of the vote for yourself, and I've never heard of it used on Day 1.

Sure, close and interesting when BK has said he is putting five votes on me. For reasons that I still don't understand at all. Are you going to be keeping it "close and interesting" with five action points as well? Because based on what I've seen posted in the thread you just padded my lead by 1-5 points instead of keeping things close.

I am going to be reserving my votes for self-preservation at this point in the day. I had intended, as posted early, to put one vote/point out there so I would have maximum points available for night activity. I think that is what would be best for Olympus, but keeping our numbers ahead of the Titans is also pretty high on the importance scale.
