Octopus Overlords

In the absence of proof we only have 1 way to see into the heart of a man (or wolf). The gallows.

I am sure of this though, I am a villager. With the deadline looming 2 things keep disturbing me.  Newcastle 
 
The main one is this. I think Newcastle's posts have been soft. Seem more prodding than probing.

love how your following remus there Rev.

whats the second one?

not sure what kind of probing you expect me to pull off Rev, have given my thoughts and suspects list. Not going to claim anything I am not, you guys are simply using up a miss w/ me. Also not a lot of conversing going on while a deadline is looming tonight...pretty much Q, Purge and Grund are busy w/ other endeavors...so cant get their opinions.

I do think you are a wolf though Rev.

In that thought you are completely wrong.

The second thing that bothers me is day 1 and now day 2 bb has placed his vote early and left it on target...... While never really saying why he is voteing that way.

i think that's wrong.....he moved his vote around a bit yesterday (3 folks). And he landed on me today first and foremost today...and to be fair i can kind of see both of their reasons, well actually i see remus reasonings the most...less so BB, and definitely not yours in terms of voting for me.

Sigh. Nobody wants to try that game. I wondered if it could lead to both baddies again this time but guess not.
Anyway, the only really active is bb2112 and he is doing exactly what I would expect so that doesn't mean much.
Lets try  Lassr 
 
who again passed on voting me and who, it seems, eats cuddly little puppies.

And everyone is doing pretty much what I expected too. Nobody likes to lynch you early in these games. With your over 23K posts you must have built up some serious street cred.

Guess it is time to go after one of the more silent(ish) people.

 Stessier 
 

his vote on stessier (3rd person he voted for that day)....this was 8 am thurs, est......

stessier was dead at: 5 Pm est that day. here:

Wrong. Either you spaced, or didn't bother to read my posts. Which is it?

Now my suspicion of you goes up.

5 voted for Stess, 3 did not. Newcastle, Rev, and Purge.

Of the 3, I don't have much experience with Purge, none with Rev, and Newcastle has seemed off to me all game.

I could kind of vote stessier, but want to see others pipe up.

BB - is trying to be mr. humorous

Reve- posted then disappeared. kind of want to vote him, but i also dont want to vote him out on his first game back (yeah yeah, compassion...blah blah blha).

Q- feels off

Purge - is present


meh-

this is more in the interest in hearin him speak, rather than a belief in his guilt

Stessier gets lynched. Suddenly after Newcastle posted his observations above, he claims below that he didn't read the thread thoroughly. It was thorough enough to post something on just about everyone and put a vote on Grund before the lynch though.

Newcastle wrote:

Remus West wrote:....snip..... I find it odd that Newcastle decline to express any intention to vote stessier yesterday but simply questioned the vote being there. ......snip.......

wanted to know why people were voting for him. I hadnt read the thread thoroughly (skimmed it) and was curious why he was run up so fast. I was also waiting to see how things woudl turn and develop as well. I really didnt expect him to go to the gallows so quick.

if anything, i think Remus comes out smelling hte best there...yea, i am sure thats gonna heighten your paranoia about me....but mainly due to Rev's statement of not putting your partner at #4.

Question woul dbe: would grund put his partner over the edge like that? So i cant clear grund...and yes i think he'd do something like that. Especially due to these short games, his chances at surviving to end game are high.

Newcastle wrote:hmm deadline tomorrow night, interesting. i have no intention of voting for Remus, interesting that Grund has decided to go after him. Part of me wonders though w/ remus is if he put his partner that close to the edge to get a freebie all the way to the end. Would stessier allow himself to be sacrificed like that in order to gain victory. I'd think so, but still doesnt satisfy me enough to swing a vote on to Remus.

Would a wolf vote for a fellow wolf? Points be damned of course, be a nice set up/cover to carry them through.

I could actually vote for Q, but i want to read more. Also would be tempted to vote for Rev.

This is why I say off. Q was second vote on Stess, had time to move it, didn't. Puts Q more in the innocent area I would think, but Newcastle says he could vote for him. Grund seems to be a focus for Newcastle, both before and after the lynch of Stess. We had plenty of time and a vote train could have very easily started in another direction. Hell, usually the first guy run up to N-1 gets lynched less than half the time anyway. Grund putting a bullet in Stess when he didn't have to makes me think he is more good. Both Q and Grund are experienced enough to place their votes where they did to throw off suspicion, however, at least at this point, I think there are more viable candidates.

It is what it is. I am what I am. I can now see how I might have muddled things up, but i am innocent.  withdraw Newcastle 
 
 Rev Hempus 
 
. 2 for you and 2 for me.

Ah, my very favorite gambit... the self vote.

Rev, if you are innocent, why are you self voting?

My morning fled rather quickly and my afternoon is flying away, too. I haven't forgotten the deadline.

As I said, I am suspicious of everyone at the moment:

- Rev, mainly for his post voting for me after I accused stess. Now knowing that stess is a wolf, it strikes me as an attempt to deflect attention from stess. Also, for his rather elaborate case against me at the start of this game day, which I know to be completely false.

- Grund, for jumping on Rev's coat-tails so quickly and for killing stess with a meta excuse when Grund rarely feels compelled to provide frivolous rationale.

- Newcastle, for the aforementioned inconsistency of whether he had read the thread thoroughly or not before questioning the stess vote. Also, for a general vibe of "reasonable" Newcastle, that I've seen from evil Newcastle before.

- Remus, for the calculated self vote early on, which struck me as an attempt to do what he did in the previous game when he was innocent. I got the feeling that it was an attempt at trying to try to put himself in the same perceived state of innocence. Lassr seized on that. Is that why Lassr was killed? The n-1 on stess looks good for Remus, but he would know that, wouldn' he? One thing that will probably keep me from voting Remus today is that he may have been a good scan target last night, based on his arguing not to be scanned yesterday. So, I think there is a possibility that, unless Lassr is the Seer, Remus may have already been outed today, if he were the remaining wolf.

- Purge, for not resembling the WW persona I'm used to seeing with him. Meta reasons, or wolfish ones?

- bb2112, because the stess vote could have been a poke at a "silent" partner that picked up steam too quickly for him to safely remove his vote.

I need about an hour to think things over, then I'll vote.

i have an idea guys....why dont we kill the silents...because they arent helping?

 withdraw Rev

i think i can easily switch to purge, but he piped up a bit also.

and your rationale for voting for me is????

My self vote is simple.... In my eyes I (as a mere villager) have but 2 choices to make. 1 find a wolf, 2 protect the Seer. (assuming Lassr was not he).

There is 2 people in this game that know my innocence absolutely, myself and the the last wolfy.

dude, if youre actually innocent and say you go down...it hurts the team...because we know one of those votes were an innocent. if you are innocent let the villagers & wolf do the dirty work so there is data to sift through at least.

besides, it looks like i am the flavor of hte moment/day.

The triggercut principle. You're voting against me, and I know I'm good.

hmm thats it?

even though you pushed me to N-1?

kind of a risky move eh?

Newcastle wrote:kind of a risky move eh?

I have no reason to think you're not a wolf. And last time I checked, only one of the two of us has a track record of killing wolves.

nope, cant argue w/ that logic. well, i mean i didnt know he was a wolf though, or else i would have voted for him.

Thinking.....

Newcastle wrote:nope, cant argue w/ that logic. well, i mean i didnt know he was a wolf though, or else i would have voted for him.

I didn't know he was a wolf, and somehow I managed to vote for him.
Likewise, I don't know whether you're a wolf, but here I am with a vote on you.
If you decline to vote except when you know someone's a wolf, you'll end up never voting. Right?

just disappointed that you have no grand analysis to go w/ this vote and same w/ the stessier vote. Was a fairly unanalytical strike you hit me w/ and the same could be said w/ your vote on Stessier. So yeah, either lucky, you aint sharing your thoughts or something else.....

anyway, lets move this party elsewhere for now, since i am living on the edge...and i'll have a "told you so" as soon as i am lynched and gone....

I put Newc back at N-1 after Rev pulled away, because I wanted to watch a wolf pounce and put him over.

It didn't happen.

For this reason, I strongly suspect that our wolf is either Remus West or bb2112.

why would a wolf even pounce on me? Possibly reveal who they are. remember they have to survive 3 more lynches (including today) in order to win..

7 left, tomorrow 5, final day 3...

so act too fast and it blows them up

Then, why did you vote purge?

That question was to Grund, not Newc.

It would be folly not to test someone.

I'll join RevHempus.  Remus West 
 


I recommend that all do likewise, since we have only 45 minutes.

Ugh. We do love our deadlines.

It looks like we'll have to choose between Newcastle and purge.

With purge, he hasn't given us much to go on, so he would be very hard to read if he makes it to the end game.

With Newcastle, it is virtually certain that he is not our Seer, given the time he has spent at n-1.

I think I'd rather vote for purge, but if Newcastle is not the wolf, the real wolf knows for certain that Newcastle is not the Seer, so eliminating Newcastle also keeps the pool of possible Seers bigger, thus reducing the odds of the wolf finding the Seer tonight.

Oh, and Rev is trying to start a new train with just an hour to go and Grund is following Rev's lead again? Interesting.

I still think Rev and Grund hold our best hope for a wolf, but with the deadline looming:

 Newcastle 
 

wrong move Q; i am a wiff.

Why would it be between those two, when there are also two votes on Remus West?

If Rev and Grund hold the best hope for a wolf, then why would you not vote against one of us? That is, after all, the point of the game: find the wolf.

Get over here, Rev and Newcastle. Help me put an end to this monster.
