Like hunting the Seer based on the word of a cultist, randy?![]()
Don't ask why. This game sometimes requires leaps of faith. Whether that its justified here, I have no idea.
You're talking about that leaderlynch, aren't you?
Dangerous philosophy. Especially with someone who only started trying to control the village once parity drew near.
- esemesas
This guy is playing?
He's been so far under the radar that I have trouble remembering what he did so far. If he's done anything at all.
Can anyone tell?
Pushed Rendap off a cliff immediately after subbing in. Ordinarily I'd happily go after him, but that alone goes a long way to me. If he is a wolf, it was either really cold blooded, or simply a mistake.
I agree about you and hdk being bad suspects leaving vain, yak, Reis as candidates for my #1 choice. Maybe if I'd been sent that PM I'd agree with you, idk. Share? I do tend to agree with running up Vain over Yak, especially as he's somehow avoided any pressure as far as I can tell, which is never good.

you the Seer. It's the most logical explanation for what is happening.
Now, let's see how are we going to get Boris lynched (or Najs,
perhaps?), and how can we make it look like you're not the Seer.
(No, you don't need to confirm or deny, I believe the next update will
confirm it anyway)
Nope. I'm not a Seer. But since you will draw your own conclusions
there regardless of what I say, let me tell you this:
I have no knowledge of any scans on Boris, let alone results of any such scans.
If Boris is a wolf and gets lynched tonight, I got lucky.
And for my own entertainment, let me give you two pieces towards my
identity this game:
1) Would a Seer-me go after a scanned wolf this hard and this
obviously? If boris is a wolf I just wrote my death sentence, didn't
I?
2) You haven't been following the game thread very closely, have you?
I've seen you undergo enough behavioral changes to set aside deduction
by usual modus operandi, so yes, you might, in the face of an
impending lynch.
Of course, if you happen to be a wolf, which is an entertaining
possibility, I take my hat off to you. But Najs is pratically
screaming wolf, so right now that scenario is not very plausible.
Also, which thread are you talking about? This?
Seriously though - someone run this guy up. He isn't talking
enough, and he won last game without contributing anything at all ..
Actually - let's just do that:
Looks like a soft-outing to me. Sorry.
Except that there was no impeding lynch.
Two votes do not make a lynching. Prior to me saying that there were
3-4 contenders. Regardless of whatever Najs said, that vote was
nowhere near to threatening me.
And no, I don't mean that post. At all. Which was not a soft-outing
either, since like I said, I am not aware of any scans or scan results
on boris.

He mentioned Najs, so that PM must have been day 1 no? Generally I weigh things higher the later they happen in the game. Some players could certainly go fishing like that regardless of role (me for instance). True for Reis? Not sure, but I lean towards yes. He's always seemed a 'hijinks ensue' player to me. I think ideally for me we'd run him against Vain right now, but it doesn't seem possible.
Now while I picked from Najs' killers, I don't actually disapprove of looking elsewhere. I very nearly voted Najs myself, and had I been online at deadline I'd have shifted onto him to lock it down. The only people I'd take off the hook are those who ran yesterday, for the simple reason of avoiding the damn village wrecking cycle of pursuing the same guys over and over. So not me, Randy, or Seen. So that only leaves, oh, eleven candidates...
Granted I have concluded, like others, that Seen or Randy being wolves is low odds play. The wolves would have had every reason to consolidate, not scatter, if there was a wolf among the group. This does hint (building guesses on guesses) that none of Najs' killers are wolves; if I were a wolf, online at deadline, and saw the ability to take four villagers with me, I'd do it. It would go from 12/4 to 7/4 the next day with the hunt. After the life was wagoned out of me we'd go to 5/3 -Parity Day on Day 3 with 0 days of information for the village? All it takes is one villager to guess wrong, with no information to go on unless the seer's had some luck, and the wolves win. But it's possible the wolves aren't gamblers, or weren't online.
Having stated the obvious conclusion, let's look harder. Firstly, there should be three extant wolves, not two, so it raises the question of why if the wolves tried to save Rendap did they not go all in? Perhaps one was offline, that's been known to happen; that would make the last wolf almost certainly one of those who weren't in on the two frontrunners: me, Yakman, the_hdk, Seen, and Teep the no voter. Let's file that away for now.
(snip)
As for the idea both candidates are wolves... well it's possible. Rendap moved onto King when he had 1 vote. Possibly the an abili sort of run up being contemplated, then they got blindsided by the Snoopdogg initiated sudden jump onto Rendap. It's not impossible that an alibi gambit went wrong. However, I think it's unlikely. I'd take it as Esemesas being clear. Following Falc's logic, I'm looking among those who avoided the situation, and find...
Vote Yakman
seen seen seen. classic 3rd voter![]()
Yakman, your point about Falc is well made: he moved to save a wolf. That bears saying, sure. But that's pretty normal Falc anyway: there was a frontrunner way out so he made it closer. Does that exonerate him? No. But it adds to erode the case against him. Yeah, he voted against King. Guess what? King was on my suspects list too. Rendap was low on my suspects list, King was higher. He'd thrown his vote away on Day 1, and I usually advocate going for throwaway voters. He'd been quieter than usual. I'd probably have voted King yesterday in that situation. Villager Falc would have made that move, certainly. Wolf Falc? I'm not sure.
Then we have all the problems with the case against Falc. Why hunt Boris and narrow the list for us when there's a sucker among the immediate targets? If we hit a sucker first and the other two are wolves it might be enough to throw us off the scent. At the least it provides a 1/3 chance of the village pursuing the wrong guy if they go after the King voters, whereas hunting Boris means 100% chance we look at two wolves. It's an idiot strategy, and betting on dumb wolves has never yet paid off in my experience.
Furthermore, if Falc is a wolf, and Reis isn't, what was Falc doing? Are the other two wolves sitting about with their thumbs up their bums? Why risk Falc in trying to save Rendap and not go all out in trying to save Rendap? Half the pack's at risk already, might as well go all in because parity with 2 wolves is a long way away, and parity with 4 is only 2 days away. If Falc and Reis are wolves, where's the last one? It's definitely not any of those who voted for Rendap in that case - alibiing on a packmate when it will blow up 2 more is a hopeless strategy. If Falc and Reis are wolves, the third wolf is among those who weren't voting either frontrunner. If only Falc is a wolf it still makes it very unlikely there are any wolves among Rendap's killers; why would Falc ignore his packmates' strategy, and why would his packmates ensure the death of a packmate? In this case it's likely that 2/3 wolves are among those who didn't participate in the vote. And if Falc and Reis both aren't wolves, then the wolves maybe alibied on Rendap, and definitely some are among those who didn't participate. I see no concrete case against Falc, or Reis, only the obvious conclusion. Wolves love obvious conclusions: they're easy to sell to the village and don't incriminate you when they go wrong.
Yet a wolf voted for poor Vainglory twice so they want him dead. He must be JL!
VOTE THE_HDK
Votecount, as I reckon it;
Falc - 3 - Yakman (275), snoopdogg (307), the_hdk (331)
Yakman - 4 - Johho (277), reis91 (293), Vainglory (300), Kingepyon (335)
the_hdk - 4 - randakar (279), Falc (299), Seen (303), esemesas (309, 333)
Don't think there'll be any rp in the update tonight, I'm sorry to say. I have something to do at 8.
This is where we stand in the votes:
yakman v2 (2) - snoopdogg, esemesas
snoopdogg (2) - the_hdk, reis91
the_hdk (1) - Yakman v2
reis91 (1) - snoopdogg
You have Snoopdogg voting twice.
As far as I'm aware hasn't voted a single baddie this game. Seen, perhaps. But in that scenario, with two JL outed suspects, I really don't think we won't find at least one wolf on Seen.
- yakman
Subbed in for Teep, who voted for seen, but then did nothing until he finally got replaced. He's behaving like a lunatic but it's Yakman, so who knows what the hell his role is. The seen vote implies that he's not a wolf or that he was attempting to sell out a packmate on day 1, which I find rather unlikely. Especially with 3 other candidates in the running
- snoopdogg
First person to vote rendap, suggesting him as a candidate just before King jumped on him. I *really* don't see why a wolf would do that. There were plenty of other people in the race at the time, why not stick to them, instead of suggesting a packmate?
randakar
- Voted rendap when king started running him up. Saved the_hdk, which can go both ways depending on that silly dutchman's identity. Did some JL work for a spokesperson that is now dead.
Well, I did vote Seen before the outing, which can be explained by me being in the JL, or the JL wanting to get the wolves to hunt me instead of them (assuming that the premise that Seen was not scanned is true). And yes, it can be unwise to make assumptions on what I believe, Randy. It would also be unwise to share PM's that might lead to me getting killed. Oh, wait, you've done it. Great.
I am not familiar with Teep's playstyle, but with some players, it is not that unlikely.
Yes, suggesting a candidate. Good stuff for someone who wants to be able to point that out later as a reason not to lynch him, without being a hardcore sellout (the suggestion might very well not stick). Plus, it's something I recall Snoopdogg doing as a baddie.
Ah yes, the JL spokesperson. It would be a clever scheme if Randywolf were to hunt his own JL contact, shortening the cleared-villagers pool, and then wait for another JL guy to contact him, compromising more cleared villagers. The hunt on Kingepyon could be attributed to that, or perhaps due to being silent, but Kingepyon being hunted facilitated my analysis, so, for a wolf pack that did not know him JL, it is not the most likely of hunts.
