Octopus Overlords

Truly the day isn't over and what I decide to do is greatly determined by today's vote.

But the truth, my dear Remus, is that I have told you everything you need to know today to cast your vote and that I have increased our chances if catching one today.

You do make one good point. I'd ask that if we get a bandwagon on someone that I'm allowed to cast the last vote. That way I can control what information I decide to reveal at the end of the day. It could be crucial.

I think I understand your play and, as noted earlier, I like it. Assuming I've read it correctly that is. I'm trying to stay out of the way of it so I don't muck it up for now. I certainly have no issue with allowing you to live up to your personal werewolf meme either.

It would be nice if you we could agree on a vote before the deadline so we're not pressed into a bad decision.

Having taken a look over everything I think my top three are:

Lagom Lite
Mr Bubbles
And maybe Vorret... Not really set on this one.

And the reasons are the quietness of the top two. While not completely quiet, I think they are both wondering in and out just enough to not be accused of trying to hide, while they hide.

And I commend Scoop and Lassr if they are both wolves, as they are doing an outstanding job of it if they are...

So with that said:  Lagom Lite 
 

May as well go with  LagomLite 
 

If we get Lagom up to n-2, then I'm going to pull my vote simply so I can control how the transition to night is resolved. Once Lagom is at n-1 we will give him a chance to declare.

If anyone posts the final vote before I do then I will assume the voter is working against the pirates and is a wolf.

Is this clear? Anyone against this plan?

Also, I've settled on Lagom for reasons I've already posted. If you you choose to vote for him don't hide behind my reasoning but present your own. Like I said before, I'd prefer I'm today's lynch then have my vote be a place for the wolves to hide.

Mod, can we get a vote count please?

hadn't had a vote count in a while.

I find it funny that in games where Remus is a villager everyone seems to be in a hurry to lynch him. This game he so feels like a wolf and yet no one wants to lynch him. Maybe I am wrong here. For now I'll start focusing on the other wolves.

But folks please do not ignore Remus if I should die. If Remus is a wolf, I think vorret may be a possibility since Remus likes to target his partners early. Scoop would jump back into the conversation if Remus is a wolf. Maybe El Guapo. And of course there is

 Lagom Lite 
 
. He is on my short list.

I think that is 5 votes.

Yep.
Pretty sure that's 5 votes :

Scoop - Vorret - Pr0ner - Lassr - RMC

I'm just a villager. Have fun dancing to Scoop's pipe.

Um, you missed n-2. We are at n-1.

Hold off voting Lagom for Scoop to finish his play and for Lagom to talk.

Well, maybe just for Scoop to finish his play then.

He just talked and didn't say much.

There's 4 people voting for you who had you in their "threat" list way before Scoop voted for you.

That's all you have to add? No vote, no thoughts on who you think is the wolf?

There is this, too.

I'm certainly not voting for Lagom because Scoop wants me to.

I will admit Lagom, did not make my 'threat' list per se. I have had Mr. Bubbles and a few floating others on my list.

But silents are always on my list. <shrug>

It's pretty bad when Bubbles and Lagom are seen as silents and I'm not!

hehe... Your a silent in a different way than Lagom.... At least in my mind.

And Bubbles is different than being silent, which I think I outlined my thoughts prior. <shrug>

Well, Bubble is indeed silent but Lagom is silent and he said... odd things, that's why (I beleive) he's making the list.

So I'm guessing we're waiting the Scooport ?

He is already voting for Scoop.

BTW, if Scoop does not check in this evening (or before then) I will be voting for Scoop as well. I'm not going to wait until we get too close to the deadline to adjust as needs dictate.

Depending upon what Scoop has to say I'll vote Lagom due to his earlier oddities at the start of today.

I missed that, as I was (clearly) too lazy to go back and see what happened.

However, if you are willing to vote for Scoop, why did you say that you understand his play and that you like it earlier?

I do see what you're saying about Bubbles. To the point where I'm almost tempted to vote for him over Lagom today.

Bah. Wish we had more info....

I was about to question Remus also on why would he jump so soon on Scoop if he thinks he sees what he is planning and likes it.

Man, offline for a weekend and Lagom's the new train apparently. Which surprises me a bit - he hasn't been too high on my threat list.

Anyways, with the deadline Wednesday time to do some re-reading today (probably this evening) to make my call. I'm still inclined to think Mr. Bubbles, but I should give some re-reading thought to Lagom I suppose.

I do like his play - depending on the follow through. If he disappears then it turns into a delaying tactic rather than an information grab.

Actually, since we are at this point (the vote being where it is) I may as well go ahead and say what I think his play is. I think he is the shooter and wanted a vote regarding who he will shoot today. That way we get to look at that vote as though it were an extra day's worth of information along with having him as a known. It only works if he acts soon enough for us to discuss the outcome though - him as known and the results of the shot as known.

one possibility, I agree. There is also another that crossed my mind.

Mostly what I am saying is that if there is follow through - today - with time to discuss the outcome then I remain in favor of this play. If this becomes a buy for time then it hurts us much more than it helps as it will actually stifle information rather than provide it.

Yeah with Scoop, you never know. He is a wily one, I just hope he is on the side of good...

It goes to show you that people are biased in their thinking, but I've always been an easy target for the lazy.

Man.. Not that I am panicked at all, but I don't see what I've done that has caused suspicion. I see many other people who have tried to manipulate perceptions that are way more interesting targets. Either way we are running low on misses, so hopefully you don't fixate on me too much. That would be unfortunate.

Isn't that the point. Confuse us to the point where our aim is off just enough to buy a couple days. Guarantee you some of the wolves are the most vocal. We have been led wrong to this point.

It sure is working.

I'm keeping my vote on Scoop for now. A shooter should shoot, and a Scoop shooter should shoot sooner.

Actually I just wanted to type that last sentence. Reviewing recent posts now.

Scoops back, so I will put my vote back on.

He's back, has nothing to add yet, and you still want to vote for Lagom?
