Vote Snoopdogg

He has dogg in his name. Dog is not far from dogg. Wolf is not far from dog. Wolf is not far from Werewolf.

Therefore, my dear Watson, I conclude that without a shadow of a doubt, he is a possibly guilty. Let's find out after we burn him.

Would a rookie's first vote go on a packmate? Pretty ballsy unless instructed by snoop. It ends up being a throwaway however, so possible alibi?

Vote Suirantes

Half my signup number.

Kiwi votes for the first night hunt. Villager not paying attention, wolf really not paying attention or a clever wolf?

He then proceeds to make hdk/reis the first one with two votes. Taking a chance to get a possible alibi on a packmate, a wolf voting on a villager, or a villager happening to vote a wolf? Whatever the case, he appears to put hdk/reis in some danger.

DB and snoop then continue their rambling.

Vote Clophiroth

She uses those funny apostrophes...

tami brings Cloph back to 2 after I had moved off him and put the original reis at 4. Cloph is therefore tied with the original second position guy hdk/reis - did tami have a reason to make sure the second candidate is someone other than hdk/reis? Of course, the original reis then starts the Boris wagon, snoop plays around keeping the tie but eventually moves to take out the original reis.

Vote Snoopdogg

Same logic as before. With a name like that, he must be one of them.

On to the next day. DB puts snoop ahead by two - he's practically trolling him by now. snoop's devious but risky plan, or a villager snoop?

And interesting that no one payed attention to the_hdk option.

At the end of his "instructions" post. Just throwing this out there because it's one candidate mentioning another, his point is valid here.

Nearly forgot to vote :/

Vote doombunny

Just cause. Yesterday's run up wasn't very informative ater all, at least after a quick 2 in the morning glance. The key movers were all acting in self defence.

No reason given for the throwaway-ish vote on a wolf, but his light analysis was pretty much right at the time.

vote capt kiwi.

Vote Randy

I want revenge. For what, I don't know yet.

This is important. Adamus breaks a four-way tie in "favor" of Kiwi and he stays in the lead for nearly three hours without anyone doing anything when it would have been normal to do so. tami is content to make a throwaway vote an hour before deadline instead of for instance moving on one of the now cleared people in the tie.

However, maybe they just wouldn't risk exposure and waited for villager randy's help:

Why is this thread so quiet?
29 minutes, guys. And we're lynching captain Kiwi, of all people? Sheesh.

I'd be willing to switch to Gigau if you are.

Self defense, or both protecting himself and saving Kiwi?

Unvote Taii. Vote Gigau.
Not sure why you're so confident about Kiwi though, tbh.

This is interesting - snoop is questioning Kiwi's goodieness, but only after he got the vote on gigau, and he never voted on Kiwi.

Markets are where Kiwis are traded. Towns are where Markets are. Villages are a step down from Towns. Villagers live in Villages. Therefore, Kiwi is a Villager.

Don't even try and argue against my theories.

Interesting banter from one of our wolves on one of our candidates.

Any reason to be so protective of Kiwi?

Asked the fellow candidate who didn't participate in the vote.

Well that was a curious day. Frankly I wouldn't have minded dying, my head isn't in the game, and it would be no worse than Gigau getting lynched. I half wonder if the wolves were out to save me to try and incriminate me and to keep alive a villager who can't vote at deadline to counter snipes.

Vote snoopdogg

Until I can find something better to go off.

Kiwi first gets involved in some banter with DB. Then introduces snoop when there are no other votes yet.

Unvote snoopdogg
Vote Taiisatai64


Let's get my vote somewhere where it won't be lonely.

He's quick to switch however.

Vote Taii

I have my suspicions about Snoopdogg and Taii. May as well go for the one more likely to be lynched.

DB still doesn't like snoop, but votes otherwise now.

Very interesting.

By the way, today is the day where a tie is a good thing.

Is it a coincidence that he's pointing this out when the only people in the running are villagers and the seer?

What the f...? Well, with a bit of luck, no wolves saw the name...

Now, I am tempted to consider Doom a "goodie", and in this case, I would recommend to Malurous some elementary precautions to insure himself against a hunt on him, (if he isn't a baddie, that is, but I don't think a baddie would expose himself like this to out a villager), as IJL's standard MO for outings is to find a random goodie (low chances of being the Seer) and use him to out someone, hunting him afterwards.

So, what do we do, village?

reis doesn't like the outing for some reason, and he's damn quick to trust DB and is looking for alternatives until my reassurances. It would seem odd for a wolf to expose himself by so strongly defending an outed packmate, but reis can be unorthodox.

A note about this day:

randakar the JL member had contacted snoop to do the outing, but due to some JL miscommunication (people being offline I guess) Taii asked me to do the outing and do it immediately, unfortunately right before we heard back from randy... So snoop knows that randy is in the JL, and it's randy that gets hunted instead of the mouthpiece - suspicious eh? Not really, as randy pretty much let snoop know that I'm a scanned villager as well, and he had to realize that neither was the seer. So why hunt the not publicly known and relatively suspicious JL villager instead of the soon to be cleared JL villager (me)? The wolves obviously just let me be and went for the seer, so why would they waste a hunt on randy if they have that information? I know snoop was around a lot late that day so it's not that.

DB had randakar's name on his fake PM - not sure how that fits.

Vote cloph.
Better than the Kiwiwagon imo.

snoop breaks a tie, helping Kiwi. Makes sense regardless of roles, unfortunately.

The thing is, you advocated, or strongly recommended that we would go for a tie, Kiwi. Given Doom's outing and reply, a desired outcome would be to lynch the JL mouthpiece along with Doom and trying to kill the Seer. I dunno if you had randy hunted, or a packmate did it, or if you're innocent. Still, I don't see many better possibilities.

reis talks about how suspicious Kiwi is...

vote Adamus, new candidate.

...and then proceeds to bring in someone new. snoop and reis have now both expressed their suspicions about Kiwi, but refused to vote for him in critical situations. I suppose it isn't possible that we have three wolves still? :p

Unsure about Kiwi... say, what do you think of lynching Kiwi?

He's asking Adamus. I come in defending Kiwi, I suppose we'll learn later if I screwed up there...

I haven't voted, and it's nearly nine...

There's not a lot I can do, besides make a tie or vote for somebody vote-less. I don't want to have a valueless vote, so I'll

Vote Adamus

Yes, it's a tie, but I'm sure it'll be broken. I may not be around for the deadline, though.

It's a decent bet for a villager to take, especially with a JL member around monitoring the situation. But was there something more sinister behind his choice between Adamus and Kiwi?

Obviously that was before the outing that I was advocating it. If I'd been around post outing, I would have lynched Doombunny on his own. I was already suspicious, hence "very interesting" about his third vote.

This is valid - reis' earlier post about Kiwi's tie hopes was indeed inaccurate regarding timing.

So Malurous, which of Valhalla's call, reis91, tamius or snoopdogg should we lynch?

Vote reis91

Seems genuine enough, and putting a decent candidate out there. Would be very risky if they're packmates.

The JL chooses tami however, with the attack spearheaded by me of course. Sorry for being vague there unscanned villager, whoever you are, obviously tami wasn't scanned but I didn't want to leave room for discussion and possible village division -> loss.

Are you absolutely positive? Because, if you pick a villager, it's game over. So, I want confirmation, is Tamius scanned?

Oh, and if this is all an IJL plot from Malurous, I'll take my hat off.

vote tamius

Is reis a concerned villager or tami's packmate?

So two wolves amongst Valhalla, reis and snoopdogg. Is there anyone else scanned, Malurous?

Two wolves amongst reis, snoop and you, to be exact. :D So yes, Valhalla is scanned.

I haven't been in this situation before but by my logic it's good to say that in the thread - there's only one meaningful hunt left and there's already a cleared target out there (me). This will only make VC's task easier tomorrow if he gets that far. I hope I'm not forgetting some angle.

Okay, that's a lot of information in one place. I'll put up a voting history post next, then I'll prepare lunch before making my choice.
 
In addition to dead people, the scanned villagers are in green here.

So it's reis and snoop? Well that's easy then.

Vote snoopdogg

All villagers do likewise. It would be nice if the wolves capitulated.

Some notes: We were all wondering why on earth doombunny would say randakar is seer. That's an awfully strange thing for a noob to try and pull. The obvious reason for it was because he'd been passed on the message from snoopdogg, the only one to know. It also explains the hunt on randakar. snoopdogg is an obvious wolf. The doombunny votes can be explained as something he was put up to.

As for reis, like I said it was interesting he got ignored when I put him up, and that it was tamius the wolf bringing up someone else instead.

As for switching off snoopdogg, I made the original vote at 7 pm my time. I happened to be on at 2 am, saw my vote had gained no traction, and decided to shift it to somewhere that it could be analysed. You can hardly call that "quick". I was perfectly happy to leave it there if it had attracted interest - and much like the_hdk/reis, that it didn't is another point against him.

Agreed that the DB votes could have been snoop's idea. However, why does it explain the hunt on randakar? Why would hunting randakar be better for snoop than hunting me? It should have been between hunting me and going after the seer.

I meant quick in terms of votes between the original and the switch. :)
 
So it's reis and snoop? Well that's easy then.

Funny, according to the PM I've received when I subbed hdk, it's actually you and Snoop. A pack which would normally be redoutable is instead on it's death throes. Fine, we can kill Snoop first, but it won't clear you like you intended...
 
Gah, I give up. All of you have stuff going for you and other stuff going against you. So I'll follow the trend, at least that way I can be sure I and Valhalla are voting the same guy. While I'm undecided on the individuals, Kiwi has put reis in real danger (more real than most realize I'd imagine) at least once and there are other, less important things speaking against such a pack too. If you're the wolves it's a well deserved win, but as reis I wouldn't be all happy with the packmate since Kiwi very nearly threw you under a bus in that case. :p

Vote snoop
 
reis, care to explain this:

About Doom, since he was indeed a wolf, then the PM is obviously fake, and thus not a reason to put up a hunt on randakar...

How are the two things related in your mind here?
 
I see that you intend to go down fighting. So be it. Who are you going to hunt? They'll not be too happy about missing out on a win.

If you must hunt somebody, I wouldn't complain if it was me. I've done stuff all this gane, while Malurous is spokesman and Valhalla could do with something for his first game. What do you say, hunt me and try to convince Malurous that Valhalla is the wolf?

Agreed that the DB votes could have been snoop's idea. However, why does it explain the hunt on randakar? Why would hunting randakar be better for snoop than hunting me? It should have been between hunting me and going after the seer.

There are a lot of approaches that a pack could take to that situation. I don't know what randakar told snoop, you'd have to ask reis for that. But if they suspected he might be seer, or that you were actually unscanned despite what was said, it would make sense to hit him first. The Steed hunt must have been looking for the Seer, something I've learnt my lesson on before - having been overpowered by a JL once too often it's now my policy to kill mouthpieces ahead of looking for the seer.

Come to think of it, I think snoopdogg might have been on to something when he got Doombunny to go after him. I presume that was why you chose him to out Doombunny, thus revealing a JL member to the wolves?
 
reis, care to explain this:



How are the two things related in your mind here?

Well, I was unaware of what you just said about Snoop being in touch with randy... so I found odd that randy would get hunted, when it was a wolf using a fabricated pm and placing randy's name there.

You're too clever for your own good, Kiwi...
 
You're too clever for your own good, Kiwi...

It was worth trying to get a crovax out of you :) So many little landmines for you to step on replying to that, layers wrapped up in layers. The one I was really hoping for was you pointing out that Valhalla is JL, thus implying that you are going to hunt and you've thought about targets. But looks like you played it with a nice straight bat.
