Your hunt gave me valuable information. It revealed that the wolves are smart cookies. Your comment about being a wolf tipped me off that you were a likely villager. I suspect the wolves saw the same.

Therefore,

Vote Aedan (smart cookie)

Oh, I see. You misunderstood my case. When a player is seen by the rest of the village as a likely villager, it is very hard to lynch them. Due to the zero-sum game that is werewolf, that means everyone else is more suspect because that one player is less so. In the calculations of a smart werewolf, it thus becomes necessary to remove such a player from the pool of the living by way of hunting. See, you're not savvy enough to get that, so I don't suspect you to be a werewolf (though you very well could be, it only takes one in the pack to make this move). Savvy Aedan would know this. Savvy Werewolf Aedan would execute this hunt.

He may come in soon enough and characterize my suspicions as wild or unhinged, but when this game is over and done with, I want you to pull this post from under my dead body and weep at the chance I gave you to lynch this werewolf.

This was a nonsense case. As Aedan already explained, there are multiple good players on right now, including EURO himself, so lynching good players on the basis they are probably wolves will just as likely take out the village's most important assets as lynch a wolf. I expect EURO knows this and was either making a silly case for fun, or making a trap of some sort. That trap, even if he did not intend it, was seeing which players hop on the case because it was easy and had the dignity of EURO backing it. The players that did hop on it are probably wolves, similar to how last game the player's that hopped on Aedan's JCan case were likely to be wolves. That brings me to Arkasas.

I don't have a tremendous amount of time today, so I suppose I shall go with my gut and listen to Euro. If the last game taught me anything, it's that he knows what he's doing when he's gibbering like a lunatic.

Also, if he suddenly locks on to me after this, he's probably a little furry...

Vote aedan

Despite it being a crap case, Arakasas still voted for aedan. Black Griffin did too, but he's new so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt since he is new and probably assumed veteran players have a great deal better ability at identifying wolves. Black Griffin also unvoted later too. Arkasas should really have known better though. For that reason, I'll

Since the GM has clearly revoked my permission to post anything I want I will just haunt everybody... BUUUUUUUU
:p
 
I'm a little bit less suspicious of Wagon, Rovsea, JCan, Health and Claude now (it seems that wolves usually don't lynch each other).
Not sure about others, so I will just leave my vote empty for now.
 
Furthermore, there is always the possibility of the last one or two voters throwing their packmate under the bus, of course...
 
Let's take a look at the Claude voters

DEADLINE

Claude LC - 5: jeray2000(129), Yakman(133), aramael(156), aedan777(163), SpockyT(171)
jeray
Laid the magical third vote on the seer previously. He suggested the following and voted Claude:
Vote Claude LC

It seems possible that there was a wolf in the Health-Alynkio-Audren TIE I made, then Alynkio jumped on Audren for self-preservation, then Claude voted Audren to make sure a packmate wasn't lynched.
Then said this:
I think Health, Alynkio, and Claude are all equally good candidates for now. Personally I lean towards lynching inactive people if all else is equal, so I'm staying on Claude.


Yakman
Plumped for Claude, but did agree alynkio would be a good choice after Euro's vote.
Maybe something to note is that Audren laid a vote on Yakman on Day 1.


aramael
Ended up being voted by alynkio. So potential goodie points there.


aedan
Appearances have been brief in thread so far, which is pretty standard for aedan in the early game. Posts of note:
Probably the most absurd part of Euro's "case" against me is that it is equally applicable against himself. Euro says a smart wolf would hunt Hax, but then that means he knows the smart move would be to hunt hax, ergo he would also be a smart wolf who could have made the hunt. It's a silly case either way, but anyone following it should rethink their votes on me based on the above.

Regardless of how Euro puts his reasoning, any voting strategy that targets the village at lynching smart players is exceedingly likely to be bad for the village if and when it backfires and kills villagers. I'm not saying players considered smart or good should be above the lynch, but lynching them because they are smart or good is not a helpful strategy for the village, except by wild chance.

Anyways I'm not a wolf (or due to the RP I guess I am, that was a confusing PM to get when I skipped reading the RP roles), so lynching me is a bad idea. Yesterday wasn't overly helpful in giving us actual information to go on though, and anyone reading much into who voted the seer is being silly, since no one, villagers or wolves, knew he was the seer. Most that can be said is that Audren rose above Health and Alynkio is the votes, so maybe there was something of a save attempt. Claude was one of the late Audren voters, giving his vote right before deadline with no explanation, and hasn't been on since to give any later explanation or add other commentary. Not good for a case, but I'd like to pressure some activity out of him.

Vote Claude
Why? Alynkio was a late voter on Audren, but since he was tied with Audren and Health before he switched to Audren, he'd have an interest in lynching Audren regardless of his role, since he wouldn't want to be lynched himself. Even if we assume that Audren was lynched to save another major candidate, it could be either of Health and Alynkio that is implicated. Plus Alynkio's made a decent length post today, and generally explains himself, unlike Claude. As I said in the section you're quoting, I don't think it's a great case against Claude, but I want some activity from him.
It was his conversation with Euro that got the alynkio ball rolling though.

Spockyt
Dead goodie. Very little presence in thread. Meh.


Something about jeray and Yakman makes me think they may have been paying lip-service to the fact that alynkio was a good lynch. More so Yakman. Jeray's explanations at least give a semblance of reason, whereas Yakman's were pretty weak.

Vote Yakman
 
At a bit of a loose end now, so figured I'd test the theory of packmates throwing alynkio under the bus. The last two voters being Health and 'litz.
'litz was essentially responsible for killing off alynkio at the last moment, so it's pretty unlikely to me that he'd be so desperate to kill off a packmate. I'm willing to believe he was late to read the thread, I suppose.

Thought I'd examine Health's posts just out of curiosity:

I was pretty sure that I was going to die in that TIE, but it seems that I'm still alive and thus should actually contribute something. I don't really blame alynkio for sniping to avoid putting himself in the TIE and I would expect that if he were a mad conspiracy theorist that he would try to keep the possible swing more hidden or at least he would've tried to solicit me in a PM. Otherwise, it seems to me that we're pretty much swinging blind.

From a somewhat quick glance, it seems that either Claude or aramael are the highest. Of the two, I've seen aramael do more, as such.

VOTE CLAUDE

This happened, bolded the important parts.

alynkio seems to be pretty interesting. So... Why not try?

UNVOTE CLAUDE
VOTE ALYNKIO

- A vague defence of alynkio early in the day? Hmm, maybe. Bit of a stretch though.
- Decides to hop on the Claude bandwagon.
- Explains the case against alynkio to 'litz.
- Finally switches his vote (just before 'litz does).

They're somehwat interesting in terms of a 'backstab theory'. It's probably more me attempting to fit his actions to a narrative though.
Eh. Was worth a look.

until I have time to go through the thread.
