    Well. Everyone (almost) is trying to kill me. What a surprise. I was expecting to be vigged last night, so I'm grateful for 48 hours' more life, I suppose.

    My only defence is "I'm an idiot" which I know isn't even provable. So I'm just going to have to accept this.

    I've got some analysis in my Apogee QT which I will paste into here - it's all from day one so will be a little outdated by now - and then I can try and do some more. Not that it's likely to do me any good, but maybe I can make up for the day when you could have been killing a wolf instead of an idiot neutral. And then I can go and laugh at myself in deadchat, which will at least be less stressful.

    Wait... why is Murska not trying to kill me?

    Do you think Valmark is likely to be my partner?

    Show

    Assuming wolf!Batcathat:
    AvatarVecna remains unreadable.
    Bladescape gets town points for being early on the Batcathat wagon, but loses them for hopping off again
    Caoimhin could easily be a partner - their first post was pretty wishy-washy on them and I don't think they've answered my question about their townread yet.
    Elenna soft-defended Batcathat early on so could be a partner I guess?
    EmmyNecromancer is probably telling the truth (I believe her claim anyway, but sheeping onto a partner wagon that early is highly unlikely)
    JeenLeen was the first Batcathat vote and one of the earliest serious votes of the game so is unlikely to be bussing.
    Libro is more or less confirmed town for the counterclaim
    Murska exists, despite the fact I keep forgetting it. He voted for Batcathat which I guess is good?
    Xihirli claimed not to like any of the wagons without actually elaborating which could be partnery but on the other hand did we really have w/w wagons earlier?
    Zelphas voting Batcathat is also probably town especially just after your claim when there was a distraction to talk about.
    Not wolves:
    Apogee1
    EmmyNecromancer
    JeenLeen
    Libro
    Zelphas

    Likely wolves:
    CaoimhinTheCape
    Elenna

    Which... I feel all right about that. My likely wolves are both people I suspected to some extent before the Batcathat claims happened. That being said I have far too many null reads. I'll work through them if you don't decide to have me killed first.


    Spoiler: More-useful neutral!Batcathat analysis
    Show
    Okay, too busy being mad at myself to focus on other stuff.

    Assuming neutral!Batcathat:
    I think there's a good chance of there being a wolf in the other neutral claims. Yes, I am aware I'm now the most suspicious neutral claim. (I still have a chance of winning even if I die, and honestly I probably deserve to. Die, that is. Not win.)

    Unless you have any private neutral claims I'm not aware of, I'd vote for JeenLeen over Emmy every time, just because I can't imagine a newbie wolf fakeclaiming in the way Emmy did. Plus Emmy's claim is easy(ish) to test whereas we don't even know what Jeen's win-con is.

    Beyond that... I can't really clear anyone. Even Libro has a chance to be a wolf truthfully counterclaiming. So... I'm just at "hope Batcathat is a wolf because otherwise I have barely any useful reads and am probably a dead demigoddess walking in any case".

    I may be back to scream into the abyss about my own stupidity for a while, but if not see you when you wake up and order my death.


    Spoiler: General readslist
    Show
    Reads list from yesterday, updated with more recent events. Alphabetical within tiers.

    Town:
    Apogee1 is a child of Demeter until proven otherwise.

    Bladescape... I think I like him. I agreed with a few of his early reads, but looking back I'm with AV in thinking he'd contributed more than he had. Though I like that he's not afraid to argue with AV. The Batcathat vote and switch evens out to mildy town at best.

    Valmark's reaction to the Apogee claim fits with his town meta iirc- not particularly confident on this but with my lack of other townreads it's enough for day one.

    Null:
    AvatarVecna. I actually like quite a few of their points and my gut says vaguely town, but they're AV and they could definitely fake them as wolf. My gut is unreliable when it comes to AV.

    Book Wombat: lack of AI content

    EmmyNecromancer: claimed neutral. I think I believe their claim at this point - it seems a weird thing to do publicly and unprompted as a wolf.

    flat_footed: lack of AI content

    JeenLeen: claimed neutral. More sceptical of this than Emmy, given the lack of win-con or powers claimed, but not interested in killing them today when there's wolfy people around.

    Libro: conftown if Batcathat flips wolf for obvious reasons. Otherwise null, maybe a slight townlean as a wolf would be less likely to counter a claim they knew didn't come from a wolf?

    MornShine: hmm. I kind of agree Xihirli is acting odd, but then Xihirli is always odd. The post itself is... saying "incredibly suspicious" and then in the same post "this could also be town" feels a little off but not necessarily wolfy.

    Murska: lack of AI content

    Rogan: *shrug* I don't know them at all, and there's quite a few mechanics-based posts that I'm bad at reading, so I'll just go with null for now.

    rogue_alchemist: my gut says mildly wolfy, but I seem to remember he used to be That One Player I scumread regardless of his actual alignment, so leaving him at null.

    Shal06: lack of AI content early on. Didn't respond that well to my questions but cutting him slack for being new.

    Xihirli... is Xihirli but isn't acting like Xihirli?!? I mean. It's odd, but not necessarily wolfy odd. And I'm not really inspired by the case against her. Hmm. She has been entertaining though!

    Zelphas exists and jumped on the Batcathat wagon, so town if Batcathat is a wolf... or then again, they hopped off before the claim, which I didn't notice earlier. So only a slight townlean. Otherwise *shrug* nothing they've done has really made much of an impression, so null?

    Scum:
    Batcathat: okay, not actually an outed wolf, despite what people who don't know about my stupidity think. But still likely to be a wolf, with the Libro cc and the switch to a hard-to-test neutral claim.

    CaoimhinTheCape. I didn't really like the switch to a random vote when quite a lot had already happened, but looking back through the ISO I don't hate it as much as I remember. But the unexplained Batcathat townread is concerning regardless of Bat's alignment.

    Elenna. I also had a gut dislike of that opening post, and until now didn't really remember much she's done. Reading through her ISO her posts are Fine but still aren't really doing much for me. Has partner equity with Batcathat.

    Totadileplayz: again, another "random vote late in the game". Not a fan of the focus on Jeen, it could be an easy thing to hide behind as a wolf, and I'm not inspired by the Book Wombat case. Their explanation didn't really make me feel any better about them - though I don't know them at all so this could just be a playstyle thing. Didn't notice any significant interactions with Batcathat.


    I’m slightly less keen on “kill the neutral claims” than I was yesterday (my gut is telling me Jeen is telling the truth) but other than that my reads remain more or less the same as I didn’t do much work on this overnight. So... hmm, where shall I start? ISOs? Yeah, I guess that makes most sense.

They looked iffy D1 according to AV, but suspicions kinda died out with the focus on Batcathat and EmmyNecromancer. Perhaps he killed her in hopes that suspicion didn't rearise?
    This reminds me of when I was a wolf in another game and we killed a player out of fun, no plan behind it, and then people were all "That's such an obvious cheap attempt at making us suspicious of those the (dead) player suspected"

    Aaaaanyway... Ugh, sorry Snowblaze. Not having a power in an all power roles game just looks so weird.

    What was the time of your claim to Apogee1 compared to the claim of BatCatHat? You'd be considerably less suspicious if you claimed after BCH claimed (you'd have had to willingly fake-counterclaim with apparently no whatsoever plan behind it).

    Apogee1 is conftown, AV is dead, Batcathat is dead (are we killing in alphabetical order? I finally found why I shouldn't die!) so... Bladescape. I came out with a townlean earlier, but my confidence was fairly low.

    - I like his first post (#22) - early reads but not the kind that feel like "I'm under pressure to have early reads because I'm a wolf".

    - his next post is putting pressure on AV which I don't think is a route a wolf goes down, as there's been enough posting in recruitment about AV being dangerous that I don't think a wolf goes there.

    - self-voting complaint is NAI

    - 106 is blunt, in what I think is a good way.

    - yeah, 111 is getting into "too aggressively provoking the Big Scary AV to be a wolf" although AV did make a good point about "if Cao is a wolf one of AV/Valmark/Bat is a wolf" being not particularly-saying-much (looking at it now when two have flipped not-wolf and I townread the third, on the other hand...)

    118 - more arguing with AV, which I've already made my point about; the vote for Caoimhin coming after mine is less of a good look but in the bigger picture isn't a massive concern (unless he flips wolf, in which case this is what I'm going to point to in postgame to say "See, I called him out"!)

    121 is... probably NAI.

    126, questioning me, is good - he's not just thinking "oh, she's voting with me, I'll call her town".

    There's quite a while until the next Bladescape post (sleep is a good reason, though!) and just joining in with the tie plan is NAI, more or less.

    247 - NAI.

    249 is good pro-town advice, but I'm refusing to townread mechanics stuff.

    251 - NAI.

    280 - ...probably NAI.

    293 - I'm an idiot, okay?

    295 - fair point.

    297 - mistakes aren't necessarily wolfy (my flip will prove that). NAI, although my gut says slightly wolf.

    301 - NAI

    304 - NAI

    309 - NAI

    370 - NAI

    378 - NAI

    416 - yeah, makes sense *sigh*




    ...yeah, I'm okay calling him town for today, and I'll be dead after anyway. Also I have a lot more respect for AV now, that took a while.

    Apology accepted, Valmark, this is my own fault. Although wouldn't I be more likely to fake having a night action as a wolf?

    My Iris claim was a few hours before Batcathat's; my Ariadne claim was the next morning.

    ...when you say that you have no power do you mean that you have no night action? Because those are different things.

    And only if you have a way to prove it, really. Imagine if you were the Ares who kills their killers, for example.

    Also you are the one who basically went "People I'm a wolf" in public and literally nobody voted you so I'd be very worried if I didn't vote you at this time (you hadn't explicitely said 'I'm a wolf' but rather made a good and strong argument that basically meant you were 100% a wolf. And it was true!)

    Uh... Hey @Apogee1, what was it that made you doubt BCH (who claimed in public) over Snowblaze by the way? I don't think that was said (Sorry if it was).

    Yeah, I don’t have a night action.

    And yeah, I did do that. Though “I was roleblocked on a night no-one died” is less incriminating than “I typed the wrong role name in the exact way that let me switch my claim to no longer be countering a truthful claimant”.

    I’ve made my peace with having to die, anyway. Can I have irises at my funeral? The irony will entertain me.

    27 - I got gut pings from this first time around; in hindsight it doesn’t look quite as bad.

    43 is a bit non-commital.

    45 feels... pointless? It could be a wolf trying to join in with the speculation on Apogee’s claim.

    51 - I don’t hate the switching to a random vote as much as I did, but on the other hand I now agree with Bladescape on not being a fan of the reasons for not joining the wagons. Not so much the fact they existed, but the way they were kind of waffly lots-of-words-not-much-conclusions stuff


    141 - the defence doesn’t really sway me either way. I already talked about the Batcathat townread and the MornShine vote is... *shrug* I can barely remember anything MornShine has done this game, but “only having one game-related post” wasn’t exactly unique at this stage. Why MornShine over any other inactive?

    206 - NAI, though I’m actually the secret love-Child of Iris and Ariadne. Also I’m a cultist, and a Russian spy.

    208 - NAI

    210 - mechanics which I will treat as NAI

    214 - more of the same

    228 - vaguely townish if I squint?

    230 - NAI

    244 - more mechanics

    282 - *shrug* doesn’t really do much for me. I guess it’s an answer to a concern, though.

    305 - NAI

    310 - NAI (although trying to organise the tie as a whole is... maybe mildly towny?)

    316 - yet more tie-organising

    356 - NAI

    403 - fine, I guess, if a bit lacking in analysis.

    Did you tell him what your power does?

    If you claimed your passive power to Apogee before it was pointed out that having no power at all would be strange, it might give you some credit. Nothing to guarantee your survival of course, but every bit can help?!

    What is your power?
    Or maybe even better, can you quote your complete Role description here?

    *sigh* I don’t have a power. Or a night action. I can’t do anything other than vote and talk. And, apparently, get myself killed by stupid mistakes.

    Would rather not post my full description as it feels like it kind of ruins the point of the game. Also because it’s not likely to save me anyway.

    @Bladescape I was going to ask you to elaborate on the Caoimhin read but then I realised there’s a good chance it’s something you don’t want to share publicly. But if it’s not, elaborate anyway?

    I was just telling about something that happened, not drawing parallels- especially since that time nobody was trying to discredit anybody either- if anything that should be an example of wolves not trying to discredit anybody with their kill.

    I hope you're voting me because you think I'm suspicious, not because AV wanted to be trusted.

    23 I don’t like, for reasons that have already been discussed.

    26 is a valid point but could also be a wolf trying to discredit early reads. Though two of the three names having flipped neutral makes it look less like soft-defending a partner.

    38 is *shrug* not really doing much for me.

    101... big wallpost, how do I analyse it? I don’t dislike any of the points - I disagree with the Valmark read but that’s not wolfy. And I like taking the initiative to try and get a Xihirli wagon.

    145 is similar really, a big wallpost with a lot of thoughts that don’t really give me much of a read.

    166: trying to kill Batcathat yesterday is about as controversial and informative as trying to kill me today.

    190: mildly towny if I squint

    192: NAI, although I lied earlier. I’m actually Harry Potter who is the son of Zeus. Oh yeah, and I’m the Seer. AV had a power to flip as a different role.

    212: mechanics, NAI

    283: I don’t dislike this but I don’t particularly like it either. A bit of a theme emerging here.

    285: NAI

    320: I disagree on me/Batcathat wolfbuddies being anything other than “utterly crazy”. Though, considering this game so far...

    375: NAI

    377: also NAI

    @Val
    After a good night's sleep and rereading the thread, I have to admit there is not that much reason to suspect you than I had originally thought.
    AVs read vs you was strong, but I can't honestly say that I agree with her. I mean, I was not comfortable about telling Apogee everything on day 1 myself.

    Therefore, I will change my vote to Snow for the moment.

    If snow flips red, I think you could still be a valid target:

    Something else I would like to let the public know, I have had a conversation with Apogee since the beginning, but only now I have shared everything about my role and my night 1 action.
    My reason for not cooperating earlier was my belief that handing out info to a wolf would be devastating. But I thought the risk of Apogee actually being a wolf to be low.

    Yeah, I can’t really say anything other than “dead null” here.

    @Book Wombat: Can you give me your top non-confirmed townread and your top scumread excluding me (because agreeing that I look suspicious doesn’t tell me much!)
    I wonder if anyone saw ithis.
    Uhh, I don't have any.

    Could you try and get some reads, then? Find a post that looks suspicious and tell people why.

    @Rogan I probably wouldn’t do that as a wolf with Valmark especially in a game with so many ways to get mechanically caught. Though I may not be the best source on that!

    @Bladescape I was going to ask you to elaborate on the Caoimhin read but then I realised there’s a good chance it’s something you don’t want to share publicly. But if it’s not, elaborate anyway?
    Nah it's just reads in thread.

    The initial read on him was of a wolf hiding a defense of a wolf in a argument against all the wagons on D1. This implies one of BHC/AV/Valmark is wolf with him. BHC was neutral, AV was the one I actually thought was linked to Cao due to AV's later defense of Cao as null.

    Now that AV's flipped town, the only possible way my original theory holds up is Valmark, and to be honest I don't see Valmark as a wolf right now.

    Is this because you want to kill neutral!me because I could betray town, or because if I don’t die today every day from now will become “so, shall we kill Snowblaze today” and discussion will never get anywhere?

    Also why am I providing arguments for my own death?

    17 is mildly towny, I guess. (Using towny to mean “the opposite of wolfy” here. I know I’m referring to a claimed neutral who can’t reasonably be town.)

    42 - analysis of the Apogee claim... yeah, let’s go with “mechanics, NAI”

    55 is waffly, but it’s an understandable topic to be confused on.

    57 is... my gut says slightly wolfy but my brain says NAI

    62 - NAI

    71 - also NAI. I’m a survivor, by the way. I’ve just been possessed by an evil spirit forcing me to play against my win condition - ignore that. I’m a Child of Iris. I mean Ariadne.

    136 - neutral claim. Unprompted but I could see Jeen making that move as a wolf.

    138 - not so much a fan of “I just claimed neutral, now I’ll pressure the other neutral claimant”

    142 - NAI

    153 - mechanics, NAI

    169 - ...probably NAI

    187 - seems a believable thought process

    195 - mechanics, NAI

    203 - wait, what? I must have missed that the first time. Why would they vote for Libro before Batcathat even flipped? Maybe it’s just a Weird Post, but it feels wolfy.

    209 - mechanics

    347 can you tell I’m getting bored of typing those three letters?

    363, 365, 367, 381 yes, you can

    385 feels too elaborate and risky for a wolf to make up.

    400 *shrug* I guess I appreciate not trying to kill me?

I think my problem here is that JeenLeen is a very mechanically-oriented player, so my default “treat mechanics as null” is meaning I’m calling half their posts null. I’m leaning towards believing their claim, though. So maybe my “wolf in the neutral claims” was wrong?

    If you are truthful about being a neutral wanting to help town, it enlightens us on your reads and views of other people, and can help shed some light on some sus behavior other people would have missed. It's also a mildly teeny thing you can do which can cause some doubt in people who would have originally voted for you. At least that's my understanding of why your doing this.

    Though I should say you should actually quote all of the posts instead of just refer to the number, your isos are suffering because it's a struggle to find the posts your referring to.

    It's time I come honest to the Town. I already told this to Apogee, Snowblaze, and another person earlier this Day, but I'm actually the Champion of Hera.

    I fakeclaimed Champion of Zeus because I didn't want the vigilante to kill me N1. Hoping that N2 onward there's a better target, e.g., someone likely a wolf. I was hoping the misinfo, or giving some hooks, might help me catch a wolf (or Zeusling), but it didn't work. At this point, I think the misinfo about the number of neutrals will hurt the town instead of being indifferent, so coming clean.

    I still think my best bet is to ally with the Town. My hope is that we find the NKer and kill them (as a wolf Zeusling), and that the wolves randomly kill the other Zeusling before the game ends.
    So Town Zeusling, I do want you dead, but I think it probably better you spend time killing others, because I don't really have any means to help kill you beyond my vote.

    Here's my true, full Role.
    You are a champion of Hera.

    Hera has chosen to elevate you with the power of a demigod. Enough to get you into camp halfblood. Zeus has been cheating again.

    Hera's sight: Each night choose one player and learn if they are a child of Zeus. If you target a child of Zeus, you will be informed and they will not be able to act that night.

    You are neutral. Win condition: Survive until all children of Zeus are dead.
    Also, I find it really odd that Snowblaze is claiming no power. Did I read that right? Especially since her Role is kinda the inverse of mine, so I'd think it'd have a scry or something at least.
    Also also, I doubt there's more than 4 neutrals. So if anyone else beyond me and Snowblaze claims neutral, probably a lying wolf.

    I still lean towards believing Snowblaze, and think it more likely Valmark or Xi are wolves than her.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I forgot something.

    gac3 said, at some point, that some Roles might have a bit of extra info other than what was supplied in the opening post/recruitment. (Right?)
    Apogee told me, when I claimed Champion of Zeus, that someone told him a Champion of Hera existed.

    My guess is that the wolf Zeusling is the one with a NK power, and to balance how that is effectively no power for a wolf, they were told that someone (Champion of Hera) is hunting them.
    Though Apogee knows best who his source is.

    On RNG of the Roles

    It seems that gac3 said literally any named Role (even vig-Zeus or one of the Children of Demeter) can be a wolf, based on the RNG process he used. It's weighted, so it's unlikely, but it's still possible (just not probable.)

    I'm not saying we should suspect Apogee, nor do I exactly care given my neutrality, but the Town should keep that in mind. Or Apogee should doubt this sibling.
    Though I reckon the probability that both the vig-Zeus and a Demeter-kid both RNGed as wolf is exceptionally low... so if one of them flips wolf, the other is probably town just due to probability. Not proven, but literally probably Town just via the likelihood of things.
    Finally using my Stats degree in a game. Yay.

    Apogee's silence thus far is making me more suspect of him. BUT it is the weekend, and I know I'm usually more quiet during the weekend than not, so I'm willing to give benefit of the doubt to him. E.g, that he's silent due to real life, not because he's a wolf and realizes that something he needs to say will look bad for him or a scumbuddy.

    My (Very weak) wolfdar so far:
    Shal06
    EmmyNecromancer
    batcathat

    Reasons:
    Shal06 pushing where the flow goes, weak read but for newer players it's a common attempt to blend in with crowds.

    EmmyNecromancer went from no vote (no information provided) to wagon vote. Alternate wagon to main wagon.

    Batcathat has been wishy-washy from aggressive bandwagon to switching to someone random when the bandwagoning got called out.

    EDIT:
    Note that after this post I'm crashing asleep, I'll next be around in 8ish hours after a long rest
    - early reads but not the kind that feel like "I'm under pressure to have early reads because I'm a wolf".

    his next post is putting pressure on AV which I don't think is a route a wolf goes down, as there's been enough posting in recruitment about AV being dangerous that I don't think a wolf goes there.

    Feel free to read through AV's ISO above to form your own opinions on it, but if you're going to call BookWombat a wolflean on two posts and negligible content it seems a little incongruous to then say a null on Cao.

    (The exception is if everyone agrees this is some meta about Cao I don't know, but right now we call that S U S)

    Finally:
    I take some minor offense that you think my contribution quality is the same as Cao's. He has so far waffled on, made irrelevant votes, (Both times voting for people who were not near lynch contender.) made no strong arguments for anyone bar one minor note which could've been an easy throwaway, and provided null analysis. Particularly:


    There's a decent chance that if Cao is wolf then one of AV/Valmark/Batcat is also wolf.


    (That being said, direct correlation to BookWombat was a little inaccurate of a statement on reflection. I was just incensed by seeing "null" on someone I thought obvious wolf-telling.)
    - yeah, 111 is getting into "too aggressively provoking the Big Scary AV to be a wolf" although AV did make a good point about "if Cao is a wolf one of AV/Valmark/Bat is a wolf" being not particularly-saying-much (looking at it now when two have flipped not-wolf and I townread the third, on the other hand...)

    TO explain the thing that was sarcasmed:
    No one else has tried discrediting every wagon so far. Generally a "I don't like all the wagons" is what a lot of town will do, or they'll acknowledge the ones they don't mind.

    To go to the effort of describing the reasons he doesn't like all the wagons? Leans wolf for me. Wolves in the absence of scrutiny are more likely to attempt to justify something they don't need to justify.

    That being said, all that everyone has said is Day 1 reads. None of them are going to have the strength of a lategame ISO finding trends or interesting information uncovered in hindsight.

    118 - more arguing with AV, which I've already made my point about; the vote for Caoimhin coming after mine is less of a good look but in the bigger picture isn't a massive concern (unless he flips wolf, in which case this is what I'm going to point to in postgame to say "See, I called him out"!)

    126, questioning me, is good - he's not just thinking "oh, she's voting with me, I'll call her town".

    Secondly, even if they don't have anything tha would protect Batcat, there's the chance they've got something like a watcher, and then they know who the Vig is. Too many dangers to publicly say who the Vig will snipe.

    Also if you ever have a solid target for the Vig, please don't mention it in public again. Keep that to QTs with people relevant to the action, okay?

    ...yeah, I'm okay calling him town for today, and I'll be dead after anyway. Also I have a lot more respect for AV now, that took a while.

    Apology accepted, Valmark, this is my own fault. Although wouldn't I be more likely to fake having a night action as a wolf?

    My Iris claim was a few hours before Batcathat's; my Ariadne claim was the next morning.

    And yeah, I did do that. Though “I was roleblocked on a night no-one died” is less incriminating than “I typed the wrong role name in the exact way that let me switch my claim to no longer be countering a truthful claimant”.

    I’ve made my peace with having to die, anyway. Can I have irises at my funeral? The irony will entertain me.

    The AvatarVecna wagon did build very quickly so there's a little worry that it was wolves jumping on a good wagon for them.

    Valmark's counterwagon seems to be for the sake of having someone else to vote. I didn't get any wolf vibes from his post so of the three that's the lest likely for me to get a vote.

    I haven't seen Batcat play as wolf yet so I don't know what is a wolf read and what is regular posting. Lampshading anything that might look bad feels wolf like to me but that's been pretty standard. On the other hand, Batcat has been engaging people in conversations and I like that.

    51 - I don’t hate the switching to a random vote as much as I did, but on the other hand I now agree with Bladescape on not being a fan of the reasons for not joining the wagons. Not so much the fact they existed, but the way they were kind of waffly lots-of-words-not-much-conclusions stuff

    Quote Originally Posted by CaoimhinTheCape View Post

    At the time I posted my explanation (the post you quoted) I was seeing a possible wolf connection from Libro's vote. I explained myself in the post and assumed there was no connection there. Until you asked this question, I wasn't thinking of any other possibilities.



    I'll agree that number of words really shouldn't amount to anything. This line boosts me by almost 20 for nothing important.

    I've address what you're referring to above but tl;dr at the time I was not thinking about any additional repercussions of what I said. Just that at first it looked like there was a wolf connection between the two but in my explanation didn't think there was any connection.

    I'm confused at how my explanations are suspicious? I haven't made impactful votes, that's true. But it's Day 1 and I didn't feel strongly suspicious about any of the wagons. I wanted to say why I wasn't voting any of them - that I didn't really see evidence against them.



    That's going to be a difference of opinion then. I would see it more wolfish if someone just said "I don't like these" and left it at that.




    The current situation

    BatCatHat's claim makes sense to me. He's been the leading wagon. I'm taking it as truth, since a wolf claiming to draw out a different role would have picked something else. But the problem is that role works well for either side, since I can see Wolves having a Seer power that narrows down the roles somewhat. I still think BatCat reads more town than wolf so I won't put my vote there. If nothing else this can verify Apogee overnight or verify the Neutral(s).

    Emmy's Neutral claim didn't feel particularly necessary but I also don't know that it is wolfish. Gonna leave that as a Null (or, well, Neutral) read. Waiting to see what Emmy's win condition is.

    I don't like the Xi wagon. The main drive behind it is that Xi's grammar is weird? Especially when there are other wagons that seem more relevant? Don't like it. I'll vote MornShine. Their one post only talks about the Xi wagon, nothing else going on in the game.

    AvatarVecna's ISO on Valmark made some good points, but the thing is I would assume that Wolves would just let the Apogee thing go. There's obviously not going to be a wagon on Apogee so mentioning suspicion will only draw negative attention.

    Aside from that, the people I will not vote today: Apogee, BatCatHat, AvatarVecna, Bladescape, Xihirli.
    People I have a town lean on: Elenna, Zelphas
    Null read, other people I'd vote first: Snowblaze, Totadileplayz, Valmark
    People I'm comfortable voting: BookWombat, Flat_Footed, Libro, Mornshine, Rogue_Alchemist, Murska
    Players who haven't played recently, so I won't vote them D1: Rogan, Shal06
    Claimed Neutrals, on Day 1?: EmmyNecromancer, JeenLeen






    On the topic of vote counts, I do them because I can't keep track of all the votes in my head and if I'm going to bother putting together a votecount for myself I might as well share with the class. As town it makes sure people are aware of who is in the lead/close to the most votes. As wolf, I am not acting any different from when I'm town. Gonna keep doing them unless people really want me to stop. It shouldn't be an indicator either way for me, but that's up to y'all to decide.

    141 - the defence doesn’t really sway me either way. I already talked about the Batcathat townread and the MornShine vote is... *shrug* I can barely remember anything MornShine has done this game, but “only having one game-related post” wasn’t exactly unique at this stage. Why MornShine over any other inactive?

    If we want to use this Day for something more, we can set up a tie between Emmy and BatCat. Emmy can hopefully prove her power (though I think we're still waiting on some info from her) and BatCat will get lynched anyway. Or Emmy is lying about her power and we get a wolf that way.

    Apogee makes sure that the person who claims being doublevoter is on Emmy.

    If Emmy has the ability as her Neutral to decide ties, she will pick for BatCat to die.
    Everyone knows that the doublevoter was on Emmy.

    If Emmy is lying, then it goes to a coinflip between two claimed Neutrals including an Emmy who lied.

    If the doublevoter lies and is voting Emmy anyway, same scenario as above. If doublevoter lies and is voting BatCat then BatCat dies.

But basically BCH's activity on pages 1 and 2 of the thread seemed like town, nothing on 3 or 4 changed my mind, and the initial claim seemed legit enough at the start of page 5 (until Libro came in).

    It wasn't the strongest town read I've ever had but it was ahead of most other players so i was confident enough to not want to vote BatCat.



    Jeez, I've been terrible with my vote counts this game, haven't I. I'll try to do an updated one now but someone should check me on it. Fixed my own votes, the only one left should be for Emmy (as per the plan).




    I believe I got the votecount below (Thanks AV). My only worry now is that we get near the end of the Day and line up a tie before BatCat moves his vote. That gives him the opportunity to break the tie before EoD and survive. Ideally BatCat should move his vote onto Emmy before we organize a tie ourselves.

    We would also need one more vote on BatCat anyway to bring him up to 11.

    Interesting that all three of these are three of the newest players... I'm currently pretty unsure of all of them, but it seems likely you're just picking up signs of inexperience rather than signs of wolfiness.
    26 is a valid point but could also be a wolf trying to discredit early reads. Though two of the three names having flipped neutral makes it look less like soft-defending a partner.

Kinda weird that Valmark wouldn't realize that.

    Valmark switching off Apogee:

    Could be a townie realizing they're wrong. Could definitely also be a wolf realizing that their attempt to throw shade has failed and quietly backing off in the hopes of not looking too suspicious. It feels kinda off to me that Valmark didn't acknowledge Apogee's response to the above post, or even mention whether or not he still suspects Apogee. Maybe a sign of a wolf that never suspected Apogee in the first place?


    Agreed, the lampshading feels weird but also it's pretty in line with how batcathat has been posting in the last couple games. I'm pretty neutral on them right now. I'd be more suspicious if they were more experienced.


    Yeah, I don't like this either. Town always has a numbers advantage over wolves at the start of the game, and yet in other all-PR games we've still decided to lynch D1. And I know Xi knows that, so what's up with bringing up this suggestion in this game, and not any other all-PR game?
    (Also, Xi calling to stop the bloodshed and violence is definitely weird. )


    Any particular reason? There's a few different reasons people have given for voting batcathat, I'm curious which of them you agree with.


    To clarify, I wasn't debating between voting for Valmark or you, I was debating between voting for Valmark versus voting for someone who voted for you, because your wagon sprang up suspiciously quickly.
    I guess I could have left off the second paragraph and just voted Valmark, but I wanted to flag that the wagon was weird. And then I had to explain why I was voting Valmark instead of pursuing that suspicion.



    FWIW Xi trying to get lynched and AV self-voting are both pretty typical for them regardless of alignment. Not that I don't think Xi is suspicious, because I definitely do, but not because of the asking to be lynched.
    I wouldn't say self-voting is popularized, it's mostly just AV and occasionally Xi.


    I think it's just Mornshine who's inactive now. But given the amount of activity that's happened so far, I think we can do better than "get rid of the inactive".

    ---

    So I'm basically debating between voting Valmark or Xihirli right now. And looking at the votecount, I'm pretty surprised that Xihirli has so few votes given what felt like several people voicing suspicion of her? Kinda makes me wonder if it's because her wolf teammates are holding out on voting her.

    I'm ... moderately certain that this is a correct votecount. Hopefully.

    Batcathat (5): Jeenleen, Bladescape, EmmyNecromancer, Zelphas, Murska
    Valmark (3): AvatarVecna, Xihirli
    AvatarVecna (2): Snowblaze, Shal06
    Rogue_Alchemist (2): Flat_Footed, BookWombat
    Totadileplayz (2): Batcathat, CaoimhinTheCape
    BookWombat (2): Libro, Valmark
    Xihirli (3): rogue_alchemist, Rogan, Elenna
    JeenLeen (1): Totadileplayz

    Not Voting (2): Apogee1, Mornshine

    Apogee, I guess you're waiting to vote until you get more information from QTs?
    101... big wallpost, how do I analyse it? I don’t dislike any of the points - I disagree with the Valmark read but that’s not wolfy. And I like taking the initiative to try and get a Xihirli wagon.

    I'm inclined to trust batcathat right now, since it's not too hard to verify this claim, but then I wasn't all that suspicious of them in the first place.


    When there was already most of a page of discussion including a 4-vote wagon, it seemed a bit late for "it's my firsr post, who cares". (And, like I said, I wanted to call out the quick wagon.)


    If you count two as "a few", then sure. It was more of a general feeling - I was under the impression that several (at least 4-5) people had expressed suspicion of Xi, so I was surprised and suspicious to see only two votes.
    That being said, having actually gone and looked it seems like it was mostly rogue_alchemist expressing suspicion a lot. The only people who said Xi's post was suspicious and didn't vote were you and JeenLeen, and you both had decent reasons - Jeen thought Xi was a neutral and you were less suspicious and also presumably waiting to pick a vote until after doing ISOs. So the low vote count apparently wasn't as weird as I thought it was.


    Okay, the fact that you unvoted makes me a touch less suspicious, but I still don't like the continued throwing of shade on Apogee.

    As has been (also repeatedly) mentioned, Apogee's partner was told that Apogee was town. So they can't be town and wolf, unless gac is lying, which seems quite unlikely.
    Do you really think two wolf masons is plausible? Wolf+neutral masons would also be really weird, and my impression from the role list is that neutral roles are seperate from the above list (which fits with the two neutral claims we've seen).
    Moving my vote back to Valmark.


    Okay, I've done the "unprompted claim D1 as neutral and hope nobody cares enough to kill you" thing too, but it helps if you actually explain your win condition so people know you're not threatening them. Also this power seems weirdly weak and super easy to fake.


    Hmm. I could maybe see 4 neutrals with 12-13 town and 4-5 wolves. Five seems like a lot.


    Throwing shade on Apogee can help wolves even if it doesn't result in a lynch though. It could make people more reluctant to claim to Apogee if they don't 100% trust him, which makes it harder for Apogee to figure stuff out. It can also provide an excuse for wolves to not claim.
    145 is similar really, a big wallpost with a lot of thoughts that don’t really give me much of a read.

    gac, does that sound right to you?


    Yeah, I'm keeping my vote on you. Mind telling us your actual power/wincon, though? Mostly for my own curiosity, I'm having trouble imagining an answer that would cause me to move my vote.

    Also, there's more than 24 hours left in the day, it's pretty early to panic and claim, especially with a fakeclaim, and especially given the amount of vote movement that's been happening...

    EmmyNecromancer since more people are on BCH right now. I'll try to be around for EOD, but no promises.


    If I were wolf buddies with BCH, I wouldn't be that obvious in defending them. At least not after it became clear that they were a likely lynch target (which did happen some time before the claim/counterclaim).

    Other buddies... I've talked about suspecting Valmark and Xihirli, obviously, but that's not for any connection with batcathat. Caoimhin is the obvious suspect, but he's an obvious suspect for the same reason I am, which makes me less inclined to suspect him, since I know the suspicion is wrong when it comes to me. Beyond that, I'm gonna have to look at the vote movement sometime before D2 and think about it.

    Emmy staying in the game obviously gives the advantage of one extra vote with which to control the lynch, but in practice that only works if Emmy votes in a way that will help town, and she has no incentive one way or the other. She could just as well help out the wolves. I'd be surprised if wolves hadn't already reached out to her through batcathat, which makes it super easy for them to coordinate.
    I'm inclined to say that I'd prefer Emmy leave the game, for less uncertainty, but obviously it's up to her.


    What? If/when batcathat flips wolf, that basically confirms that the actual Child of Iris is actually neutral, right? Why would two wolves counterclaim each other?

    In the bizzaro world where they flip neutral, I guess the options are a) there are two neutral children of Iris, or b) I guess a wolf happened to claim the same role as a real neutral role? The former seems more likely to me, given the large number of minor gods. Haven't put much thought into it though so there might be a possibility I'm missing.
    283: I don’t dislike this but I don’t particularly like it either. A bit of a theme emerging here.

    I would definitely not have thought of her first, or even close to first, if you asked me to name a minor god/goddess who shows in Percy Jackson. But I'm more familiar with the second series (Heroes of Olympus), which I believe had more minor gods showing up compared to the first series. If you're focusing on minor gods from the first series, I guess I could see both gac and the wolves going with Iris.


    Uh. What.

    So, they're saying they gave you the wrong name by accident? I guess? Or are they saying they fakeclaimed to you originally for... some reason??

    Just gonna assume it's the first one, i.e. they're claiming to have said the wrong name by accident earlier.

    Hmm, are people more likely to mess up a fakeclaim or a real claim? I could see a wolf discussing multiple fakeclaims and losing track of what they decided to use. I could maybe also see someone who's not very familiar with Percy Jackson or Greek mythology, who forgot the name of their role, but in that case it would be really weird for them to come up with the name of a different real goddess. Unless they claimed after batcathat and mixed it up with that? Idk, still seems weird.
    FWIW the only time I've messed up my claim, it was a fakeclaim. But that's just one data point.

    Going through all the possibilities, in no particular order:
    1. Both are neutrals telling the truth. This requires batcathat to have enacted a really bad plan instead of just claiming their real role, and also requires the Child of Ariadne to have failed to remember their actual role name and instead mixed it up with the name of another role that wasn't even in the role list. If they claimed before BCH, where did they pull Iris from? If they claimed after BCH, how did they not double-check their role name before counterclaiming? Just seems really weird either way.

    2. BCH is a neutral who made bad decisions, Child of Ariadne is a lying wolf who wants to avoid suspicion after BCH's flip. I don't see why a wolf in that position would go back on their claim and make themselves look even weirder, instead of just claiming to be a second Child of Iris, but maybe they panicked? Again, requires really weird decisions on BCHs part, too.

    3. BCH is a lying wolf, Child of Ariadne is a real neutral. BCH's decisions make slightly more sense in this case. Still really weird for the real neutral to get their name wrong, same as possibility 1. I guess in this world it would just be a coincidence that the real neutral used the wrong name and then BCH picked the same name for a fakeclaim??

    4. Both are wolves who got really confused about their fakeclaims and/or both accidentally used the same fakeclaim. I could easily see that happening, but I don't understand why the "Child of Ariadne" would change their claim instead of just continuing to pretend to be a child of Iris and getting neutral cred when batcathat was lynched. Maybe panic? Maybe they really hate bussing their buddy??

    All these options are really weird. I think 3 or 4 are most likely, probably. I definitely still think we should vote BCH today (or do the vote split plan with the intention of lynching BCH). Even if they're somehow telling the truth, it's worth it to kill a neutral in order to get more info on this weirdness.

    Apogee, I'd like to see that conversation regardless of batcathat's flip, if that's fine with you.

    EDIT: So many ninjas... then again it did take me like 50 min to write this post.
    320: I disagree on me/Batcathat wolfbuddies being anything other than “utterly crazy”. Though, considering this game so far...

    That being said, I'll agree that 5 neutrals seems like too many for a 21-player game.

    (Do we have 5 neutral claims? I also thought there were five but can't remember why now. Batcathat, Emmy, Jeen, supposedly Snowblaze... who else?)

    I'll also agree that "I don't have any power" is super weird in an all PR game and reads to me like "I didn't want to fake a power that I couldn't actually do".

    By the way, I'm waiting for an answer about why you're sure there's 5 wolves.

    Yes, technically if 5 wolves and 5 neutrals were alive as of D2 they could win the game. Technically. But that would a wolf to randomly out themselves, hoping that there are 5 neutrals, and hoping that they are all willing to cooperate with the wolves. I can't imagine a wolf team ever making that gamble, so I wouldn't consider it LYLO. (Also, it sounds like Jeen and the Champion of Hera are opposed somehow, if Jeen is telling the truth, so I doubt they would both work with wolves.)

    Anyways, that's mostly a theoretical comment on the definition of LYLO. I agree that in this particular game, it seems unlikely that there are five neutrals.

    If there aren't actually five neutrals, that means either Jeen or Snowblaze is lying, and I know which one seems more suspicious to me. Besides, Snow's lack of a power seems really weird, as I said earlier.


    Oh, I missed that bit in the narration. Yes, I think the vigilante probably killed AV. Apogee, if you have any comments you can share on how the vigilante ended up hitting the seer, I'm very interested to hear them.
    I guess one possible answer is "the vigilante is a wolf". I really hope that's not the case, but IIRC gac said no role was absolutely 100% town or 100% wolf, so it's possible?

    There's a few possible ways that the wolf kill could have been prevented
    - The baner (child of Poseidon) protected the wolf target.
    - The wolves targeted the child of Ares who has Hard to Kill.
    - The voider (the person with Drunken Fun) targeted the wolf who did the kill.

    This is probably obvious, but the baner and voider should let Apogee know who they targeted tonight if they haven't already.

    @gac: Does the person with Hard to Kill get notified if they lose their extra life?

I was hoping the misinfo, or giving some hooks, might help me catch a wolf (or Zeusling), but it didn't work. At this point, I think the misinfo about the number of neutrals will hurt the town instead of being indifferent, so coming clean.

    I still think my best bet is to ally with the Town. My hope is that we find the NKer and kill them (as a wolf Zeusling), and that the wolves randomly kill the other Zeusling before the game ends.
    So Town Zeusling, I do want you dead, but I think it probably better you spend time killing others, because I don't really have any means to help kill you beyond my vote.

    Here's my true, full Role.


    Also, I find it really odd that Snowblaze is claiming no power. Did I read that right? Especially since her Role is kinda the inverse of mine, so I'd think it'd have a scry or something at least.
    Also also, I doubt there's more than 4 neutrals. So if anyone else beyond me and Snowblaze claims neutral, probably a lying wolf.

    I still lean towards believing Snowblaze, and think it more likely Valmark or Xi are wolves than her.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I forgot something.

    gac3 said, at some point, that some Roles might have a bit of extra info other than what was supplied in the opening post/recruitment. (Right?)
    Apogee told me, when I claimed Champion of Zeus, that someone told him a Champion of Hera existed.

    My guess is that the wolf Zeusling is the one with a NK power, and to balance how that is effectively no power for a wolf, they were told that someone (Champion of Hera) is hunting them.
    Though Apogee knows best who his source is.

    On RNG of the Roles

    It seems that gac3 said literally any named Role (even vig-Zeus or one of the Children of Demeter) can be a wolf, based on the RNG process he used. It's weighted, so it's unlikely, but it's still possible (just not probable.)

    I'm not saying we should suspect Apogee, nor do I exactly care given my neutrality, but the Town should keep that in mind. Or Apogee should doubt this sibling.
    Though I reckon the probability that both the vig-Zeus and a Demeter-kid both RNGed as wolf is exceptionally low... so if one of them flips wolf, the other is probably town just due to probability. Not proven, but literally probably Town just via the likelihood of things.
    Finally using my Stats degree in a game. Yay.

    Apogee's silence thus far is making me more suspect of him. BUT it is the weekend, and I know I'm usually more quiet during the weekend than not, so I'm willing to give benefit of the doubt to him. E.g, that he's silent due to real life, not because he's a wolf and realizes that something he needs to say will look bad for him or a scumbuddy.
    I intended to wait until I get a reply from Apogee to some questions, but it seems like he is busy today.

    I think your explanation for the fake claim is in line with what you have said before. Especially if Apogee can confirm he told you he knew about the existence of your real role.

    Your power feels a bit strange. It's a scry for Children of Zeus (this is something I would expect) but instead of killing, you only block them? I could imagine you are faking this part again, in order to appear as a lesser danger than you really are for a child of Zeus.

    All in all, I think you are really Neutral and I hope you will stand by your word to vote for town.
    However, I wonder why you assume that the lightning power is wolf, while the mystic power is town. Okay, hitting the seer looks quite bad, but how should the wolf team have known AV was the seer? There are two possibilities.
    Apogee or his partner is a wolf.
    It was random chance.

    Your other argument was, that Apogee knew your role existed and you think it's more likely for a wolf to receive this warning than a town player... this is not illogical, but it's not really convincing either. Which leads me to the following:
    I would love to know if the children of Dionysus received a hint that someone might watch them? If they did, it would both give points to Snows claim and be precedent for a role getting additional Intel (with was stated to be possible by gac) without needing to be a wolf.

    Now, one last question.
    Why should we believe you are not going to switch sides after you got the wolf child of Zeus killed? Killing a wolf is better done by Town, but killing a town is easier for a wolf.

    So I'm willing to trust him. It could be a wolf gambit, but such seems unlikely.
    If we have a seer (quite likely given the player count), I lean that they check him just in case. Also. that our tracker/watcher (whichever sees who targets the person they target) look at Apogee.
    The former helps build trust; if Apogee scries Town, the seer can claim to Apogee privately and help build out the trusted network. The latter might might verify a baner (if he gets baned) or a wolf (if he gets NKed), helping either strengthen the Town network or find a wolf. But I understand the seer might prefer to look at a less trustworthy target OR be afraid that the tracker/watcher is a wolf and might be targeting Apogee to try to find power-roles.
    In other words, this is a suggestion for night actions, but it's not perfect by any means and no criticism if folk choose differently. Or maybe this is all WIFOM to make the wolves sweat when choosing targets tonight.

    On the other hand, I am an overly-paranoid person, so...
    Thought I don't believe it, I could see this as a "wolf power" in that it is powerful to safely claim being Children of Demeter. I still doubt it, and it goes real bad for the other one once one dies and flips wolf...
    Also, if there are a high number of wolves, I could see one sacrificing themself in a gambit like this to gain significant intel.
    Again, not really believing these, but feel like it's good to throw it out there.

    There's also the (I think unlikely) possibility that a wolf!Demeter has a 'side power' of their sibling being told both are Town... but I'd like to assume gac3 isn't lying to them. Stilll, Other Child of Demeter, you might want to ask in your QT just to verify.

    She has a fair point, but I think lynching somebody is still a good move due to the info it yields. I admit I haven't been in a game this big before, so maybe the potential info-gathering is worthwhile... but just this sounds really odd based on what I've heard in every other mafia game.
    On the other hand, it doesn't feel particularly wolfish. The wolves want us to mislynch someone D1. So, the only reason a wolf would argue for no-lynch is if the major wagons are wolves, but doing so puts the target on herself later on and seems a bad move. Unless it's so non-wolfish it is wolfish, but those are the WIFOM spirals. On a third hand, I could see Xi doing a bold wolf move like this, even if it doesn't seem to be something a wolf would want.

    In short, this sounds weird in general, and more than usual when coming from Xi. But not necessarily wolf-weird. Maybe some sort of neutral with an odd win-con?
    55 is waffly, but it’s an understandable topic to be confused on.

    First sentence sounds a touch defensive for a townie. But it's reasonable given some votes piling up on him.
    Second sentence... could be simply stating a fact, but also feels like a wolf perhaps subtly persuading the baner to do what they want? Or Townie trying to manipulate the wolves.
    Third sentence: no real bother by a vote on me. But it seems a good cover for a wolf trying to vote without making waves.

    In short: seems kinda wolfish, but... well, I generally get a wolfish vibe from totaldile even when he's Town, so I don't put much by it. I'm still feeling comfortable keeping my vote on Batcathat.
    57 is... my gut says slightly wolfy but my brain says NAI

    But I'm sympathetic to the other points Batcathat makes. I often find it tempting to say something, only to think it'll sound wolfish, and that's regardless of my alignment. It's hard to know how to read a lampshading, but I could see it coming from a wolf or a townie. Though generally the meta is to take such as wolfy.



    No problem. I've had that problem myself with folk with similar icons, even sometimes with Cao.

    I got the impression from Recruitment that not all the named Roles were in the game, so I do think it's believable there's more than one Neutral.



    Do you know how your power would read a Champion, as opposed to a Child?




    Noting this sounds believable. The power seems subpar, though, but I don't think a wolf would want to make up a power from scratch.
    Would you be willing to send your full Role text (flavor and power) to Apogee, so he can compare it to mine?

    Yeah, they could side with the wolves, but they also could just be an extra vote keeping control contested. When Town or Wolf, I generally think killing neutrals is a waste since the death would better go towards removing the rival faction. But since we potentially could eliminate a troublesome Neutral and get a lynch, I can see aiming for a tie this Day.

    Of course, other possibilities exist, but I can see this as a smart way to maximize a death.
    Still think Libro did the right thing in counterclaiming. Just noting this to try to think of why Batcathat might make fakeclaim, when Batcathat presumably has a safe Role he could claim (since no Roles are definitely wolf or town.)

    On the other hand, wolf!Libro fakeclaiming to get Batcathat killed seems very odd and little value. It's not like he reveals alignment.
    Unless he's a Neutral who wants to kill the specific Role that Batcathat has... but that seems unlikely. Possible, but unlikely he's lucky enough the person he wants dead happened to claim D1.

    EDIT: massively ninja'd. Will rethink later

    Eh, I don't have much dog in this fight, I guess... I'd still like us to try to do a tie in hopes that we confirm EmmyNecromancer. I guess it's not as bad if Apollo's kid screws up the votecount now.

    On that note, gac3: would we see the vote-counts with the modification, and thus know if a Child of Apollo voted because the total number of votes on someone would be 1 more than the number of voters?

    I reckon the best win strategy for you is to wait until the game is nearly over to guess. You can guess 100% accuracy the alignment of the dead players, and, near the end, it should be clear enough. Er, maybe.
    Though I guess the lie could just be your win-con (and maybe your parent/sponsor), and you're a serial killer with a QT-infiltration power. But that seems odd.

    I'd feel better if we knew if you or EmmyNecromancer were lying. Both of your win-cons (assuming we guessed hers correctly) don't really give any incentive for folk to kill you. There's no reason not to claim, since no risk involved. While it's possible Neutrals were made with no risk of claiming, it's... poor design, as, well, a Neutral needs some reason to not claim to just not become a third party (beyond the reason that being known as Neutral might make folk kill you in case you lie about your power/win-con.)
    For me... well, Apogee knows the details of my Role and how it could potentially give incentive for somebody to kill me. That's also the reason I'm not publicly stating the details of my role.

    Also, EmmyNecromancer, want to share the exact text of your neutral "Child of X" text?
    Because Batcathat's is rather different format than mine. It could be that I'm a Champion, not a Child... but it seems oddly different, especially the formatting around the Win Condition.

    10 of us vote someone else. I would lean Libro, but I guess he's basically town-vetted since batcathat suggested he's lying... so... Valmark had some heat and Xi asked to be lynched, so maybe one of them? Or we vote on whoever the most inactive (flat_footed or BookWombat) voted, since they might not be able to change their vote. Oh, and those both voted for rogue_alchemist, so that's easy.
    Child of Apollo votes a third party.

    If all goes as planned:
    -EmmyNecromancer fixes the tie to lynch Batcathat. She maybe exits the game. We presumably get a wolf.
    -Child of Apollo gets verified as his Role. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing.
    Even if Batcathat is a wolf and a scumbuddy wants to not play ball to save him, they really can't because doing so would get them lynched D2. If we agree to this, everyone has to play ball.

    I loathe changing my vote so many times, but rogue_alchemistto try to make this feasible.
    But I really doubt we'll get enough agreement to go this route. I understand folk want to get the wolf dead and not risk it to a possible-Neutral or (if she's lying) a coinflip.

    We know that unnamed Roles are Neutrals.

    We also know Roles aren't duplicated. However, we know that Children aren't defined just by their parent but by their power. So it is possible (though I think unlikely) there's two Neutral Children of Iris.
    Right? gac3 hasn't confirmed that there can't be two Children of Iris, has he?

    So, if Batcathat really is a Neutral Child of Iris, I think it likely that a wolf fakeclaimed Child of Iris.
    At least if the timing works out. If the other Child of Iris claimed to Apogee before Batcathat made that claim... it could be a wolf having made the claim up like we suspect of Batcathat. If the other one claimed after the fact, I find them more believable as that seems a sloppy move. Well, unless it's a scumbuddy bussing Batcathat, but that seems unlikely.

    I Googled some Percy Jackson stuff, and it sounds like Iris is a minor deity but becomes important some point in the novels. So... seems a reasonable bet for making up a fakeclaim someone hopes is safe (that is, unused) but is still believable.

    Of course, if Batcathat flips wolf, then we can trust (or probably can trust) the other Child of Iris as a neutral. I doubt both would be wolves.

I've generally seen 2 neutrals in a game around 16 players. I could see 3 or 4 in this game... but, well, no clue how many are around now, but it feels like more.
    Maybe the vigilante should take out that Neutral? Assuming networked with Apogee and he can coordinate it secretly.

    But, just that Neutral. Leave me alive.
    I'm really hoping there's some good wolf candidates N2, so it makes more sense to target them than to take me out to remove a Neutral

    --- ---

    Regarding what Emmy should do, I would think having her stay around as a confirmed Neutral who already won is good for Town. She could effectively be a townie (definitely has reason to be thankful for the Town coordinating this D1), and she ahs no incentive to join the wolves (beyond possibly laughs). As long as she becomes publicly Narrator-confirmed, I don't have a strong opinion.
    291 - disagree on Emmy sticking around but that’s mechanical stuff.

    ...from something Apogee told me, he suspects a Champion of Hera is in the game, based on something someone else told him. (To my possibly-incomplete knowledge, nobody has claimed that Role to Apogee.)
    I think this Champion might have a win-con opposed to mine and might know it. No hard evidence, and nothing I want to state more explicitly publicly, but...

    Well, I wouldn't state this even this openly usually lest I draw that Champion's ire, but the Champion of Hera can likely deduce who I am. We've got 2 exited neutrals, 2 neutral claims (me and Snowblaze), and apparently a Champion of Hera floating around. That's 5 neutrals, 4 if Snowblaze is a wolf who really goofed up. 5 or 6 neutrals sounds incredibly unlikely. Whoever the Champion of Hera is, they can conclude I'm the opposed Neutral.

    So, Champion of Hera, if you'd like to discuss things, please feel free to PM me a QuickTopic. Maybe there's a way we can both win.
    Or wait until Day if you like. I think it'd be a waste for the wolves or a vigilante to kill me, but... well, no reason wasting a QT if I die this Night.

    I'm inclined to believe Snowblaze, and also have reason (being a neutral) to try to keep neutrals around. I know Elenna isn't one of the Zeusling via my Night power, so I'll go with Valmark. They looked iffy D1 according to AV, but suspicions kinda died out with the focus on Batcathat and EmmyNecromancer. Perhaps he killed her in hopes that suspicion didn't rearise?

    OH. A thought: I figured two kills probably were attempted last night, but one was stopped by a baner or voider. But if the "vigilante"-powered Zeusling is a wolf, it's probably not that the wolves get two kills a night, but some augmentation to the power. (Or the wolves effectively got someone without a power.)
    Not sure what to make of that, but gac3 did state (I think) that every named Role had a chance of being Town or Wolf. I would think that one had a small chance of RNGing wolf, but it's still possible.

    I reckon any baners/voiders/watchers/trackers should give intel to Apogee, and maybe they can puzzle out who the killer is.

    We can presume the Town!vigilante wasn't voided, since Xi was voided. (She could be lying, but seems a foolish thing to lie about, as a Dionsyian could claim.)

    I feel like writing something like "how could this happen if any of these are true: both Zeus Town, both Zeus wolf, vortexer Town and vig Wolf, vortexer Wolf and vig Town"--but I'm a bit tired, and I think I'd like to hear from Apogee if the Town Network had planned to kill AV anyway before I put the effort in.

    I don't rule out that another person could have done the kill, but it seems unlikely.

    2) honestly not realizing it meant anything about a void, and just posting it

    Not saying I suspect Xi a ton, but, well, Elenna implicitly was noting a scenario that pegs Xi as the wolf, so drawing explicit attention to that.

    More avatar confusion. Delightful. I think my problem here is that JeenLeen is a very mechanically-oriented player, so my default “treat mechanics as null” is meaning I’m calling half their posts null. I’m leaning towards believing their claim, though. So maybe my “wolf in the neutral claims” was wrong?
    This one at least the very end portion was distorted for some reason. There might be other distortions elsewhere if so let me know.

And it was true!)

    Uh... Hey @Apogee1, what was it that made you doubt BCH (who claimed in public) over Snowblaze by the way? I don't think that was said (Sorry if it was).
    Because BCH had changed from an earlier claim and I didn’t think there would be two children of Iris with different wincons, so I trusted the earlier one, not under pressure.

    That of course wasn’t actually how it unfolded, but.

    Anyways I have a claim from the vig for it being their kill. They didn’t claim that earlier, so didn’t tell them to stay clear of AV.

    Your power feels a bit strange. It's a scry for Children of Zeus (this is something I would expect) but instead of killing, you only block them? I could imagine you are faking this part again, in order to appear as a lesser danger than you really are for a child of Zeus.

    All in all, I think you are really Neutral and I hope you will stand by your word to vote for town.
    However, I wonder why you assume that the lightning power is wolf, while the mystic power is town. Okay, hitting the seer looks quite bad, but how should the wolf team have known AV was the seer? There are two possibilities.
    Apogee or his partner is a wolf.
    It was random chance.

    Your other argument was, that Apogee knew your role existed and you think it's more likely for a wolf to receive this warning than a town player... this is not illogical, but it's not really convincing either. Which leads me to the following:
    I would love to know if the children of Dionysus received a hint that someone might watch them? If they did, it would both give points to Snows claim and be precedent for a role getting additional Intel (with was stated to be possible by gac) without needing to be a wolf.

    Now, one last question.
    Why should we believe you are not going to switch sides after you got the wolf child of Zeus killed? Killing a wolf is better done by Town, but killing a town is easier for a wolf.
    The child of Dionysus I am in contact with said they are not informed they are being hunted/protected.

    I’ve also received yet another neutral claim, but don’t remember what it was. Let me check.

    It’s an undescribed neutral. Don’t really know how to handle that at this point with so many neuts being claimed.

    The doctor is claiming that they did not save libro’s life last night, so whatever ended the kill was not then. The child of dionysus roleblocked Xihirli, so that’s a possible kill stopped. There is also the possibility that the two overlapped naturally
