The 2018 season of television was a tumultuous one. The nightly news broadcasts reclaimed the title of most watched programs due to their coverage of the ongoing nuclear conflict between the Russian Federation and Red China. Now more than ever, people are tuning in to rebroadcast shows like M*A*S*H after Winchester replaced Frank Burns but before Radar left. Thus, the entertainment industry was rocked to its core when 20th Century Fox announced its complete collection of M*A*S*H after Winchester replaced Frank Burns but before Radar left was lost at sea. Such a quality TV show will never see the light of day again. No one wept, however, when University Challenge was cancelled due to the lack of universities in the Wasteland, or Post-Brexit Britain. That show, and honestly that whole society, was critically reviled.

Fortunately, no surprise cancellations were announced by the networks. Perhaps the sky high ratings that accompanied the nightly news broadcasts acted as a cushion for producers. We'll never know. Or maybe we will, on the next season of reality. Stay tuned.


Cliges the villager is lynched
Tamius the sorcerer is lynched
No one has died in the night
 
Cue 5 idiots who will rush on and vote me for defending a baddie or whatever.

We have even more candidates for a lynching. We might even reach 7 lynchings assuming town is up for it

I forget how new you are, so sorry if you already know this, but you made a couple sarcastic remarks about large TIEs early on being bad which I cannot let stand. TIEs are glorious because later in the game a lot of information can be derived from them, like Audren campaigning heavily for people who were not-me to be lynched means he's a probably wolf if I were to die and turn up wolf. And it's very unlikely a large TIE will go unbroken, someone shortly before deadline will break it in someway almost always.

I was supporting the Tie, I would have been very happy if a seven way occurred. Sarcasm can be hard to show through the internet but the opposite is true as well. I honestly wished for a seven way tie, it seemed fun.

Are WW aware of who the warlocks and cultists are? If so, that should clear most of the early voters on Tamius.

Only if the Sorceror scanned a cultist Night 0, contacted the cultist, then the cultist contacted the pack about it, and the pack believed the sorceror. So possible, but not super likely.
 
Weird to see the Nationals bullpen not blow a lead for once. Cool to see it in person.

Oh, right, WW.

I know you know this already, JM, but for any new players: Unless tamius scanned a cultist night 0, it is highly unlikely any packs knew he was a baddie. (Seems like a pretty stripped down rule set with no-one time scans, so impossible is probably the correct term of art.) And the good news is, a game with 27 people comes out to about 9 starting baddies by the 1/3 rule (a rule where about 1/3 of the starting players in any big game are baddies), so two packs and a 4-4 pack distribution with one sorc seems most likely - meaning no apprentices (unless tamius got really lucky with a night 0 scan). Which also means the packs will start taking potshots at each other with any luck. No-hunt night is potentially an irritant, but I prefer cursed turns (assuming the no-hunt was a cursed turn) now rather than late in the game where one turned player can completely overturn a won game for the villagers.

So essentially, we have what any packs almost certainly thought were two goodies getting strung up. My gut says to look at players 1) who pushed cliges/tamius during the initial tie period of about 4 or 5 players or 2) people who were online but remained relatively quiet as the bloodletting occurred.

I need some sleep, will get back to you all in the morning. Cheerio.

While that is a correct reading of information to be gained, I'm not sure how I ought to take this. Seems suspiciously like a wolf laying the groundwork to get a villager killed after he's lynched.

VOTE JERAY

That was just one possible reading, and the most obvious one IMO, making it easy for explanation. You obviously aren't wolfish for saving yourself from the TIE, and you were pushing for Health the other lynch candidate, so that leaves me. And it's very obvious case too, I wouldn't need to spell it out for the village if I were a wolf.
