    AvatarVecna (4): Xumtil, AvatarVecna, Valmark, Xihirli
    Book Wombat (1): flat_footed
    Zelphas (1): Book Wombat
    BatCatHat (1): JeenLeen
    CaoimhinTheCape (3): Grand Arbiter, Rogan, bladescape
    Rogan (5): BatCatHat, Zelphas, Snowblaze, CaoimhinTheCape, Elenna

    Also I somehow forgot to add the preface to the Caoimhin stuff but I was working on that last night and since they're now a wagon decided it would be useful to finish.

    Also also is it bad that I now want to vote Caoimhin purely to make a three-way tie?

    Also also also does anyone not currently wolfread Rogan, and if so why?
    Agreed about the counter wagon. Having a wagon purely for the memes or cause of inertia is bad. Especially since I'm totally willing to believe AVs frustration about dying early that often. This doesn't mean I think she is town. I have no idea about her alignment, but lynching her is not the right way.

    I'm not wolfreading Rogan, cause I've got a message saying they are town. Okay, more specific, a child of a geek God. Town is never mentioned anywhere. But going purely by text? I guess it would be too obvious, but since he used the 'too obvious' defense himself, he might be a bold wolf.

    Making it a three way tie is good for me, obviously. And it will allow for some interesting mind games. Will I take the chance to switch to AV to survive? Will Cao do this? Is AV going to switch?

    Nope, not going to do this.


    Of course, there is also the possibility that someone else will do something to turn the tie into something else. Or one of us could be well loved (-1 vote). I claim an active power, but I can't expect you to trust me on this. So if you trust your vote on me, it's better to have me in the lead instead of creating a tie.


    Any questions for me, Snow?

    Nice color choice, by the way.

    Depends on the options. I'd be fine with lynching Xum over AV or Cao, but Rogan (or Elenna) would still be my first choice.

    I have sus on Elenna but I refuse to D1 her because I had sus on her last game and that was town. Wanna give her a first day pass because I feel bad.

    *shrug* aorn I wouldn't vote Xumtiil but if I come out from an ISO not particularly liking him I might. I'll go do that ISO now.

    Screw it, CaoimhinTheCape. I'd expect an attempt to discredit his wagon from wolf!Rogan which I'm not seeing here.

    Also while I was ISOing Rogan I noticed Xumtiil has 19 posts and I can't remember anything they've done other than "apparently didn't get how the wolf powers work" and "voted AV for the memes".

    Caoimhin, if you're around before EOD it would be really helpful if you could elaborate on your suspicions there.

    Also also it turns out ties are a lot less nerve-wracking when you're not one of the tied players.
    Hey, I've got a quote in my sig saying you have no idea how to read me!

    Fun games, I guess the original PJ. Upick2, definitely. CIĀ³ was nice as well, although I still would have preferred a solo survivor win. Love Letter started out as fun, but I didn't like the endgame. Wild West is better in this regards, although I still can't decide if Taffi is getting better or simply always reading me as a wolf and happened to be right this time.

    I don't think I'll mind this tie. If it still is a tie? Didn't check if someone voted in-between.
    Might have something to do with the fact that I was asking to be a wagon, so the only one I can really blame for the situation is me. Plus, if I die, at least it won't be a surprise.

    That should be "a good case", obviously.
    Why do you feel like that about ties / random results? I've heard this stance before, but I don't really get this. I think it's quite interesting to see who takes some last minute actions to influence the RNG. If anybody does.

    Yeah, let's not do that. I could argue that this is wolfy for going out of the way to mention the vote is staying (iirc he did this later as well.)

    Otherwise you wouldn't be scrying as a wolf if you don't have the power with the Roman parentage in front of it, no?

    Of course, I've heard that previous Percy Jackson was a town cakewalk, so it could be that Gac overshot the compensation and this is going to be a scum slaughterhouse.

    An Abattoir Vecna, if you will.
    Probably NAI.


    I can see why I couldn't remember much Xumtiil has done: I can't find a single read in the first half of his ISO. There's wolfy stuff but there was wolfy stuff in his ISO last game and he was still town.

    Someone switching things around at the last minute can be interesting, even if the possibility is kinda stressing me out a little. But I don't like the possibility that it's entirely decided by chance, mostly because I prefer keeping the random element to a minimum in games and prefer to win — or lose — based on the skill and decisions of those involved. In this particular case, I'm extra concerned due to the people involved. I'd be more okay if the tie was between, say, you and Elenna.

    I am not sure about this. I feel like his mistake about the Roman powers would be inside of his wolf range. But I also think that he has set up a high bar for himself by his first wolf game, so it's easy to be suspicious about him. I'd feel bad about lynching him as town.
    So... I'll give you a firm "maybe". But it's a significant better option than AV, I suppose.

    And why would I be better than Rogan, AV or Caoimhin?

    D1 is always going to suck, if there are three wagons, why try starting a fourth? (obvious self preservation is obvious)

    Also, AV can easily make this a two way tie by unvoting herself.

    - - - Updated - - -

    In fact, making it a three way tie is giving AV the choice of two people to lynch, tbh.

    I think Xum did basically the same thing last game though, didn't he? Of course, it would be kinda clever to establish doing something like that as town, just so you do it as a wolf.

    Other than that, I mostly agree with your conclusions. There's not a lot there.

As much as I sympathize with AV, I'm not going to switch away from them since I really don't have any better currently. Hoping to see some activity from the inactive/low posters.
    First actual read of the game, in response to my question. Can't say I'm a fan. As in, I'm struggling to actually work out his read on Rogan. "I'm biased in thinking they're wolfy" implies a wolfread on Rogan (I'm assuming "they" refers to the player I asked about) but "my gut says this entire thing is overblown" implies thinking Rogan is town.

Considering how your wagon came to be, I'm expecting you to flip town, and honestly I'm also not thinking AV is genuinely a Roman, but I feel like AV a bit in a sense that the game only truly starts being interesting/solvable D2. All this conversation is nice, but without any irrefutable statements from the GodGac, everything is both innocent and suspicious.

    - - - Updated - - -



    Quoting the section I'm replying to
    Okay, so this clearly states a townread on Rogan. That's fine. Less a fan of the passive acceptance that he has no wolfreads and town is probably going to die day one.

    Actually come to think of it, maybe Snow is the better wagon?
    Lol, but also no. That last thing is along the lines of something town!me might say but I don't think I really believe a townread there.


    Yeah. Not great. Second-guessing myself, need to compare and contrast to previous games.

    Because I now have a townlean on Rogan, there are still no actual reasons to kill AV and... eh. I don't really know if I want to vote you over Caoimhin, but the wagon wasn't my idea so I'm not the one who has to justify it.

    And maybe you're right about day ones, but imo we still have to at least try to kill wolves. Because if everyone just accepts D1 sucks and votes randomly then we end up with a D2 that sucks just as much. Getting people to take stances and make serious votes gives us more stuff to analyse later.

    I still disagree about the AV vote and don't see me changing my opinion anytime soon. So you would have to give me a better case with more than one hint. I have another good idea why you might want this lynch, but I'd like to hear this from yourself.

    I've concluded that I find Xumtiil's wolf game townier than his town game. Which probably means my wolfread on him means he's town.

    So... probably not switching unless there's a strong case which takes into account meta and/or it becomes the main alternative to Rogan and AV.

    Would also appreciate someone casing Elenna, as I don't really get the suspicion there. Actually I should probably just ISO her myself, shouldn't I?

    I'm afraid that's basically it. It's D1, vague feelings and overanalyzed behavior is all we have. I am kinda curious about what you think my motives might be, but there's nothing more to it.

    That is fair, "they" referred to Rogan, and I'll re-read the thread, ISO some people and see if I can figure out somewhere my vote could be put to better use. AV at this point is capable of saving herself, and I don't see many people still hopping on to the AV wagon, more likely hopping off.

    The thing about Rogan is that I'm flipflopping between them being wolfy and towny. There seems to be a lot of activity trying to save him, which is wolfy by itself, but the reasons why people started voting for him were overblown in my opinion.

    My case (if it could even be called that) is just what I've previously stated. Voting AV for allegedly joke/meta reasons when there was already two votes on them (out of three valid votes in total) seems shady to me. I get making a whatever first vote before getting serious, but I still don't like it.

    I should probably ISO Elenna myself, to see if I can find anything else, now that I think about it.

    Although the idea of figuring out just the right combination of powers to kill everyone sounds fun. But we’d need the wolves’ cooperation, probably.

    *shrug* I said I’d vote AV before the game started, so I figured I might as well go through with it.
    This is what gave me my tentative townlean for reasons explained earlier. I still stand by them even if they are tentative.

    If I'm counting right, here's the current vote count:

    AvatarVecna (3): Xumtiil, Snowblaze, AvatarVecna
    Elenna (1): Batcathat
    Taffimai (1): Rogan
    Book Wombat (1): flat_footed
    Xumtiil (1): Xihirli
    Zelphas (1): Book Wombat
    BatCatHat (1): Valmark
    Caoimhin (2): Grand Arbiter, Elenna
    flat_footed (1): Zelphas
    Helpful. Pro-town but not necessarily towny, if that makes sense.

    As far as I recall, at the time he was the only person with any non-meme reason behind the vote (besides Bat's vote on me, which I wasn't going to join as my name is neither AV nor Xihirli.)


    I'd agree with the people who said "one power for the Child of Neptune plus three other powers" is a reasonable interpretation of this question.

    I don't think Rogan jumping on the initial "slip" was necessarily wolfy, a townie asking this question could very easily not have realized that it implied four total powers.
    However, I do think Rogan seems to be ignoring the "he probably read it as 3+1" responses, even though he answered some people who said that. Also it's strange that he's suspicious of Book but he's still keeping his meme vote on Taffimai. Combined, that seems to me like he's a wolf trying to get a mislynch rather than a townie genuinely searching for wolves.


    I counterclaim Child of Ariadne! Lynch the liar!
    (probably obvious, but this is a joke)


    Abattoir Vecna is good but I also miss "lynch me on principle".

    Debating between voting Rogan because suspicions versus voting AV to tie up the wagons. I guess tying the wagons and watching vote movement doesn't really work as well now that I've made it clear I'd rather lynch Rogan.


    ...oh look, I previewed and there were 4 more posts. Amusingly, I think AV is still one vote behind Rogan before this post, so the above still makes sense.
    I could see a world where this is the opportunistic wolf on the Rogan wagon, at least one person there (assuming town!Rogan) is definitely just repeating bladescape's/my points against him. I guess the "ignoring the responses rather than the thing itself" is original and a slight counterpoint to that.

    I didn't think your initial interpretation was unreasonable in itself - what pinged me was more that you seemed to be ignoring or at least glossing over the arguments against your initial interpretation.


    I would if I had any, but like you, I don't have any other suspicions.

    - - - Updated - - -



    I'm down to be NKd, honestly, I don't really mind the less stressful speculating in dead chat, and I'd rather it be me than a townie with a more useful power.
    Now, am I just saying that to hide that I actually have a really good power? Maybe! Wolves, enjoy the wine.
    I kind of want to townread asking to be nightkilled.


    Eh. Her vote movement potentially fits a pattern that's likely for a wolf but that's the only real point I have against her. There's some towny stuff but nothing I think a wolf!Elenna couldn't fake. Null, I guess?

    Need to do something that isn't this game, but will be checking in intermittently until EOD. Looking forward to your Elenna ISO, BCH, and will be scrutinising it closely for hedginess.

    (There is night phase talk right? I've played too much over on MU where no one talks at night.)
    Public night talk will be allowed. As well as night talk in any alignment/role based chat.

    - - - Updated - - -

    In fact, making it a three way tie is giving AV the choice of two people to lynch, tbh.
    You are a better wagon than AV cause AVs wagon has no actual reason. A bit revenge for last game, a bit "they are the only counter wagon". That's bad.
    Your case is not very strong either, but at least there are some arguments to vote for you. Like, you posted a lot but didn't say much. Or your confusion about the Roman power.
    And lastly, saying you don't like both wagons, but simply accepting them anyway. This could come from a wolf, trying to avoid blame after a flip, while still helping this flip. Of course, you could simply struggle to get a case you find convincing. Can't blame you, it's rare to have a game start like in the original PJ. Still, I'm going to second Snow here: Resignation is not helpful.

    I don't think giving AV an easy way out is a problem. In fact, I'm looking forward to see what she is going to do with this.

    Well, given my defense on Elenna, I wouldn't be surprised if you suspect a W/W situation. So your suspicions on me would strengthen the suspicions on her.
    Does this make sense for you?

    But I also think I'd like to actually get some reads in today.

    Isn't hedginess basically NAI for me at this point? I should have the ISO done before EoD but it might be a few hours more, I can't use all my time at work for this game.

    Yeah, that's certainly a possibility, though I wouldn't rule out either of you being a wolf without the other. Are you just curious or are you building to something?

    Well, I partly expected you to think along this lines. Your fixation on Elenna for one small thing feels strange. It's a bit too firm of a stance from you, so it's breaking my expectations.

    Wolf!You might not be in the headspace of "this might be w/w" because you know this is not w/w. But I'm not sure if town would see this in such a light either.

    Yeah, I get that. That's part of why I was fine switching my vote to you, I think the one thing is a pretty good reason to suspect her but the situation does sort of remind me of when I found Snow making a random vote so suspicious I let it overshadow her overall towniness.

    I'm not sure I understand your reasoning. Why wouldn't a wolf think of accusing townies of being w/w?

    Lacking other clues to go on, I suspect I'll spend part of the day overanalyzing the note on gac's body.
    I don't think a real hint would exist. Honestly, I think it's just a bad joke. Scumteam is usually called either Werewolves or Mafia. Rome used to be where Italy is now. The roman camp is full of italian kids. The italians kids are the werewolves/mafia. Italian Mafia. Hence, "sleeping with the fishes".

    Yeah, that's reasonable. One upside of me starting to obsess over Elenna and Rogan is that it kept me from overanalyzing that note.
