Re: Caillean. She tends to not say much early game, then later on start putting things together and really doing analysis. So her quietness is mostly par for the course.
Wagonlitz, in fact, was the player to made the 4-way tie [post 214] in the vote count you quoted in your post. And by this logic, we should be going after Panzer again because he was the next person to vote [post 234], where his vote on the_hdk expanded the tie to 5 (me, panzer, yvanoff, chilldude, and the_hdk). Since Panzer was a top candidate yesterday, it might not be the best idea to run him up again, but this is something to keep in mind.
Re: me wanting an easy target in grimlock to go after. But I didn't go after himInteresting movement around deadline which I'm sure is going to be over analyzed over the course of day 2. A tie for the sake of tieing; Ark must be pleased all hail the Cult of the Tie.
Some basic observations:
Wagon seems to be engaged which has me leaning towards goodie for now. Randy made a few posts without saying anything don't really want to read into that quite yet. Wombat made a choice more or less condemning Yvanoff I understand the reasoning, he typically doesn't like lynching newbies early and Yvanoff was practically a no show. By the time I saw he voted it was pretty much at deadline and I didn't want to cause a tie as I stated earlier, leaving Euro to do it anyways. Which to point out the obvious will be likely a point of contention over the next day. Lastly, HDK is also engaging which is uncharted territory for me. Not sure what to make of it yet.
A few posts to look at after I did a quick read through day 1:
God help me! I'm actually leaning strong villager on Yakman.
Panzer appearing to be genuine here? Everyone else seems to be able to read Panzer other than me and for some reason this just seems off. Not sure if this is a real observation or if it just some rationalization to go after what appeared to be an easy target.
What the hell does this actually mean?
Putting pressure on Dedonus didn't seem to really amount to anything, his overall usefulness to the village and the GM usually saves him in the early game. He's a hard read and I guess I was hoping for too much from a way too early in the day pressure.
I'm going to wait to see what is actually said about the impending case(s) against Euro before really weighing in.
I'm going to cast some shade on those who were quiet day 1. Alxeu was active but said little, Cailean as well though this is out of the norm for either of them, but I think it's worth putting either or both under some pressure. Johho posted little can't remember much about him and didn't seem to attract much attention. Liefwarrior made a single post and didn't contribute much as did Ironhide and Nepechri. Eternaly_Lost well seemed to be eternally lost in the shuffle.
I'm going to vote someone who said little and wasn't under any pressure.
Vote Eternaly_Lost
I hardly think I can gain baddie points for making a tie when I myself was in it... As far as we know the candidate I added to the tie was better than the ones who eventually got lynchedThat's not an accurate description of what happened.
At the time Culann swapped their vote [post 203], I was in the lead with 5 votes, with Panzer in 2nd with 4 votes. So they only created a two-way tie.
After that, Wombat moved their vote from me to you [post 205], dropping me down to 3 votes, with Panzer now in the lead.

Hear hear! This man speaks for the village. Though I will also say I am wary of consolidating too early.Doors are closing in around the wolves, already very little space for them to go. Tick tock
This appears to be a game where most/many villagers will have relatively powerful traits. I have some also. We want to avoid ties early to give more people time to use these as the game goes on.
It also raises balance questions.
Is there a seer and priest? There may not be
Perhaps there is only one pack
What else could the wolves have to counter balance these traits - perhaps a lot of their own, but generally more traits would favour the good guys. Maybe there are a ton of brutals etc
Will need to wait until we have a dead wolf or go to get a further idea
No more ties. Deadline is in the dead of night for me so I can’t guarantee being online then, but we need some good villagers to volunteer to see this through. However we also need votes to be meaningful so we should in most cases be lynching someone who is already in the mix
I like this argument against Euro but I think he's far and away in the lead right now. On day 2 I would still rather not bandwagon an active player. Does anyone have alternative targets?Is there any reason to go for a Day 1 tie? This is a genuine question, haven't played enough werewolf (both recently and ever) to know if its considered a meta move or not. Is it an attempt to secure as much information as possible by revealing two players early on? Perhaps it operates on the presumption that in a two-horse race wolves will manipulate the vote to protect their own, and a late switch to a tie will reveal this? The deadline is relatively early in the morning for me, so I'm not active in the latter part of the day when people seem to disgorge content which can be responded to. I imagine that flow of information is also easier to decode when viewing it live, rather than trying to engage with the whole thing all at once.
I think Yakman's argument for chilldude being a villager was relatively obvious - a more engaging role means a more engaged newbie. Not sure why that wasn't evident to MAW. I do think it is especially disappointing that we didn't manage to get any chatter out of the leading candidates yesterday, thought that was the whole reason for putting them on the edge of the abyss. Johho's ramblings are... interesting, but more significant I feel is the willingness of Yakman to jump straight onboard without offering anything of their own.
Unless someone can explain to me why a villager would want to make a tie on Day 1 (or is this just one of those EURO eccentricities I hear so much about), I'm going to leave Yak as a secondary candidate and instead:
vote EURO
It's in lites that ties day one should be avoided at all costs.Right, that was less than optimal. It’s ben awhile, but weren’t we supponera to avoid a Tie day 1? Today i am goding to go for someone who ceratet the reallöner wide tise. I hate the swedish spellchecker… back to business. Vote um?

Euro caused chaos and generates information.Yeah, making a tie that killed two villagers at the very end of the round is suspicious. I'll vote EURO for now.
Not sure if j made that four way. I might have, but my votes had reason behind them. And there were no vote counts for a long time and I'm on phone.So I'm going after copious tie enlargers today. And wagonlitz fits.
Vote wagonlitz
To be fair, you did expand the tie to five when there was confusion amongst the players about whether deadline was 12 minutes or 1 hours and 12 minutes away.I hardly think I can gain baddie points for making a tie when I myself was in it... As far as we know the candidate I added to the tie was better than the ones who eventually got lynched
Let me, on behalf of the village, personally apologize for Wombat's push against you. He got it wrong, and there's no other way to look at it. Does that make him evil or incompetent? I really can't say. All I can do is ask the question.Good job. You succeeded in voting out a brand new player on day 1 because he came in close to deadline. Amazing, really encouraging people to join Werewolf. Don't count on me coming back.
this dude is right actuallyGood job. You succeeded in voting out a brand new player on day 1 because he came in close to deadline. Amazing, really encouraging people to join Werewolf. Don't count on me coming back.
Thank you for your contributionso without a better candidate I propose we
vote Euro
To kill werewolves, thank you for asking.Unless someone can explain to me why a villager would want to make a tie on Day 1
I really can't argue with that. I keep the village ahead of the game, and if you can't see that all I can say is you will.Yeah, making a tie that killed two villagers at the very end of the round is suspicious.
While you can clearly see some semblance of logic in my actions, we must nevertheless discuss their negative consequences. Many reputations are made in defending oneself from silly cases brought over from day 1. I robbed a survivor of that chance in my zeal to keep the village competitive against the wolves in terms of death dealt.Euro caused chaos and generates information.
He also realised that if one of Chill and Yvanoff died and was a goodie rhen dhe survivor would be run up today. So at that point making a tie makes sense.
Well, that's easy to say now, and I didn't help make the tie. The tie would not exist without me. I am solely responsible for it. The members of the tie, that is who was pushed and by whom, well that's another matter entirely worthy of analysis, if we can step beyond the easy case on me.As such, I think the two villagers being killed was the most likely of options in the tie that you helped make.
Priestly scanIn order to encourage you to say which scan was used;
5 hours and 39 minutes.so the deadline isn't actually for another 6hrs and 40 minutes? Damn that's actually morning for me if I got up in time. my forum clock is still set to GMT
Not sure exactly who this is a response to, but as ita just after my post I assume it's ab attack on me.I cant quote it since i keep hitting the pam filter, but euro mentioned just before deadline that it seemed like people were happy to settle with the votes. Aren't people most likely to settle when the wolves are happy, meaning villagers are highest in the running? Of course this can't always be true because then every single vote switch would have to be put into question, but on the first day I imagine the wolves would take advantage of the lack of suspicion to move votes more if they're dangerous. As such, I think the two villagers being killed was the most likely of options in the tie that you helped make.
Sorry to hear that you've got that bad an experience.Good job. You succeeded in voting out a brand new player on day 1 because he came in close to deadline. Amazing, really encouraging people to join Werewolf. Don't count on me coming back.
Youre not in Northern Ireland anymore?so the deadline isn't actually for another 6hrs and 40 minutes? Damn that's actually morning for me if I got up in time. my forum clock is still set to GMT
Agreed. I screwed up badly here, and owe you an apology for my part in voting you out.Good job. You succeeded in voting out a brand new player on day 1 because he came in close to deadline. Amazing, really encouraging people to join Werewolf. Don't count on me coming back.
