    Do we have any logic on these targets aside from flying under the radar? I don't recall them ever making much of an impression, and I don't feel like digging through the entire game to find the part where Aventine does something suspicious.

    It's weird how we've actually been fairly successful in lynching wolves much of the time, but I still feel like we don't have much to work with in hunting the rest of them. Oh well, BasketOfPuppies I guess.

    Aventine was one of the most vocal voices against Shadow the day Shinken got lynched, since then he has pretty tried to disappear. I personally have Phantom down as village for most of the game and nothing he has done has changed my opinion there.

    I'm perfectly fine with the BoP wagon but Aventine is slightly higher up on my list which is why I'm voting him over BoP atm.

    Also, this might just be the crazy voices in my head talking but the more I think about it, the more I'm getting the feeling that Sprig is trying too hard to do his best villager impression as a wolf.

    I disappeared after the Shadow thing because it was clear I wasn't going to be able to get him lynched, especially after Shinken turned wolf. I figured it would be better to watch and think. Then I got busy. Seriously, if I was trying to disappear and not be noticed I certainly wouldn't have gotten myself on the auto-lynch warning list. That is about as noticeable as you can get, and never in a good way.

    As for pushing for Shadow to be lynched, do I really have to dig up the post where he himself says it was the right thing to do based on his actions? (down towards the bottom).

    Back to the topic of people disappearing and flying under the radar, I have started to get the impression that BourgeoisJerry has been active without being active. Being present enough to not have his absence noted, but without actually doing all that much. So I'm voting for him on a few vague hunches and will see if I agree with myself when I wake up.

    I know I'll probably regret this if it's wrong but I respect Shadow's abilities enough that I'm going to do a complete 180 and back Aventine here. Vote BourgeoisJerry.
    It also fits nicely into my theory that the wolves deliberately tossed Asteron under the bus to give Sprig some credibility to manipulate the end game.

    Town for what? Steadfastly voting yet not bothering to make any contribution?

    I'm perfectly fine with the BoP wagon but Aventine is slightly higher up on my list which is why I'm voting him over BoP atm.

    You may have paranoid thoughts but now you have given them to me. You better be village because your comment probably has ensured that if you get strung wolf, I will swiftly follow... Thanks for that.

    Now you got me wondering if that suspicion earlier and my vote on phantom have spooked you a little and your setting up contingency.

    It's not your first game here Sprig. You should know by now Phantom's a roleplayer. I can't remember the last time he's done a long analysis so trying to use he's not contributing as an argument for him been wolf just doesn't cut it.

    While true, I don't see what Basket could possibly say at this point that would clear anything, barring yet another recalcitrant mason popping out.

    I don't even need to summarize his involvement in the thread.

    He voted for Wolf bane. He voted for me. He voted for Dark Comet. (twice) Also, complained about the activity several times. That is the entirety of his activity. That's essentially nothing to parse. He could be some third party the narrator snuck in at this point and his behavior would fit equally well.

    This game has a dozen players, but we converse like we're already down to 6ish. And people disappear unless poked. It's a touch odd.

    Other thoughts kept brief, as I lost my word prediction subscription on my tablet:

    Alarra: Gutsy player, made a slightly odd movement last round that sort of screwed with what I was hoping would happen, but while somewhat questionable, not exactly a flaming brand. Also absent, so nothing happening there.

    Aventine: This was the biggest surprise when I took a glance through Sprig's list. I thought Aventine had contributed a lot more...but that appears to be in error. There was a lot of sound and fury in the beginning, and then trying to kill Shadow, and now Aventine has dropped off the radar and activity. I'm...not really comfortable with that, in the context of other affairs.

    BoP: If I had a vigilante power, I would have shot BoP awhile ago when he failed to auto, simply due to the potential paranoia someone so unknown still being here so long does.

    Jerry: Jerry has also been somewhat less active recently, but looks a touch better than Aventine from past discussion and contributions. Jerry has made some various commentary, and has fairly consistently reshuffled his opinions. I'm not sure I see the appearance of activity argument here.

    Duck: Mason. A really shifty mason, but a confirmed role nonetheless.

    FC: I've been clinging to the notion FC is town most of the game, which paid off well enough with the other big player. Granted, FC and the wolves do seem to have engaged an impromptu competition to see who can kill more power roles...but I'm not prepared to abandon that assessment. I still lean that the wanton collateral is understandable in the context of the network this game being really odd.

    Penguinator: Another wraith, had some spat with Sprig, which means nothing contextually since I know both of them were town in the game it originated from. Made some votes. Yeah...nothing here.

    Slii: Slii is town. He looks better than Duck even with that mason claim.

    Sprig: Fairly active and reasonably analytical. The short vote summary was decent, but more importantly FC and him promoting conversation is much better that what we keep threatening to default into. On the other hand, I'm not entirely sold either. I'll need more feedback and to take a look at previous postings before I make a conclusion.

    The Phantom: I feel less comfortable now than I did when I tried pressing things last round. The argument didn't read very well, and I'm not sure why increasing the number of possible bandwagons is helpful either. When I voted BoP, I was hoping for someone to make a decision, possibly kill Basket, and keep FC out of lynch threat. Alarra pushing FC back into contention was kind of odd even with the time limit not accounted for. I don't have anything against having options, but there's got to be a reason for them. Voting simply so we have three people back in immediate lynch threat isn't helpful when there's no minimum kill vote.

    BoP for now. I'm not feeling the Jerry vote at all, and while absent, there's really nothing Basket could possibly do at this point to assuage any doubt.

    Well no, I'm not astute enough to be able to work out everyone play-style after just one completed game. Phantom died early and was wolf if I recall correctly. So I guess I'll just take your comments as a compliment...

    My argument for Phantom being a good option isn't just that he hasn't done an deep analysis. but that he simply hasn't done any at all. Not even responded to the pressure that he was under and completely ignores accusations against him. That doesn't gel with me. If others agree with your statement and say it atypical behavior from him then I will cede the point.

    RP and votes for Wolfbane again. Calls it a pointless vote (since Logic is going to be lynched) and says it is just to avoid AL

    Page 27
    After the fact discussion of whether Wolfbane should have been lynched. Defends himself against FC's claim that his confidence in Wolfbane looks like wolf knowledge by likening FC's argument to wanting to lynch anyone who has a town read on someone else.

    Page 31
    Points out he voted for Asteron the day Wolfbane was lynched. Even though he did it under duress and at the last second. [I give no points for that, it looks more like an attempt to get points for voting for the wolf than an actual attempt to save Wolfbane or lynch Asteron. And trying to get villager credit for it now strengthens that impression for me] Tries to make himself look good for figuring out that Wolfbane was town

    Page 32
    Votes for Basket, despite not knowing the reasoning behind any of the votes so far today



    I see very little constructive commentary. Some after the fact discussion about Wolfbane where he can't make up his mind whether the reading between the lines stuff was enough to clear Wolfbane or not. Then some vague talk about several other players without any real conclusions ever.


    He changes his mind and "reshuffled his opinions", sorta. I don't see natural changes of mind. He concludes that Wolfbane is the more likely wolf between the two claimants and votes for him, then later claimed to have known all along that Wolfbane was vanillager, but that he wasn't cleared as villager. Other than that I see much more unwillingness to make up his mind then real changes. I rarely see his mind made up enough to have his opinions reshuffled later.

    He rarely has real reason given for his votes, his most active discussion was about whether or not it was right to lynch someone who was already lynched. Very little contribution to what we should do now. He posts consistently, but has contributed little. That is what I mean by being active without being active.

    Sprig gave him credit for voting for two wolves, but both were at the last minute when they couldn't actually change anything. One for Tanar who was going to die no matter what, and the other was for Asteron at the last second when he wasn't going to die. Then he doesn't vote for Asteron on the day he actually is lynched. I give no villager credit for that, and actually am made somewhat suspicious by it.

    Sorry for my lack of addition to the discussion in the thread after my vote early in the day. I still think Basket was something that DC and I were onto, after DC was nightkilled after voting for him, but I won't deny that a lot of other suspicions have been cropped up by today's discussions.

    Fleeing Coward, Aventine, and perhaps a few others are tentatively on my radar now. I say this because I'm anticipating a night kill on me whether or not BOP is lynched today, and I feel it safe to reveal that none of the networks have bothered contacting me. So there's my leanings, plain out in the open, so I don't die with never having revealed them (such as Shadow unfortunately did.)

    Sii, you're far from cleared yourself at the moment with your admission that you knew DC before he was killed unless BoP flips wolf actually and I think anyone can see at this point who's probably dying the next 2 nights so I'm curious with your doom and gloom statement.

    As for why I'm suddenly switching off Aventine - unlike Basket who was active on other forum threads the whole time, Aventine did not post at all during the period he almost got AL'd so I'm inclined to believe his story for now.
    The person directing the wolf kills is obviously paying quite abit of attention to the thread to kill others before Duck so my original suspicions of a wolf team consisting of BoP, Aventine and Penguinator at the start of the day is probably wrong which is why I'm reevaluating things here.

    The fact that DC was killed before we could connect with a network, over Duck who was still a claimed Mason, and now I'm going after his and my target once again, is what factors into my gloomy doomness. I could well be wrong about why he was nightkilled, but it was the only thing that stood out to me that would get him killed over an open Mason claim.

    I'd like to ask why you think a wolf would admit to being in contact with the last power role both pre and post nightkill, when that would be the most likely thing they'd do to make themselves look suspicious. It'd be an extremely stupid play, and I'd like to think that if I was a wolf, I wouldn't be that idiotic about it. However, as someone anticipating death based on the last night's kill, I'm trying to help town as best as I can before that happens.

    And you're far from cleared either, and seem to be extremely interested in starting accusations at people this day.

    There's been 2 kills over an open mason claim actually so the wolves were clearly hunting other masons/network so I don't get your supposed paranoia.

    If wolves were predictable, this game wouldn't be much fun would it? I've personally pulled all sorts of crazy stunts as a wolf over the years so I know better than to rule anything out.

    And you're far from cleared either, and seem to be extremely interested in starting accusations at people this day.
    I never said I was, I'm doing what you claim to be doing - trying my best to help town. I'm tossing accusations around and seeing how people react to them since the masons seem to be content to just remain silent and not do anything this game other than repeatedly tunnelvision on me.

    There are a few inaccuracies in Aventine's post I'd like to address.

    Quote Originally Posted by Aventine View Post

    Let me quote the relevant message:

    I typed up the following, then checked to see who had posted while I was typing. Aventine said something similar to what I was saying, and Wolfbane... well, Wolfbane just complicated things again. I already went through the trouble of typing this, so I'll at least go through with posting it to give some idea of where I stand on all of this, but now I need to think about what Wolfbane is saying before I actually commit to voting for him.
    For the record, typing up my replies sometimes takes a long time. I'm the sort of person who types something, then goes back and edits it, then rereads the whole thing to make sure it looks good, then checks to see if anybody has posted something while I was doing all of that, then goes back and modifies my post to account for what people have posted, and sometimes just sits there thinking about what I'm trying to say. Sometimes I'll end up deleting whole paragraphs because I don't like the way they're turning out. The fact that I'm so verbose doesn't help things.

    Anyway, Wolfbane's big post came while I was typing my analysis, which changed things quite a bit. Part of the reason one of them had to be a wolf was because they were putting us in a position where we were likely to lynch the other. Wolfbane actually backing down left me unsure of him (since it did seem that he took his sweet time doing so,) but eventually I decided that he was probably telling the truth anyway (mostly because of the precedent set in The City.) How he handled the situation did irk me, but in the end his actions did make sense from his perspective.

    I wasn't going for villager credit. I was giving my reason for being suspicious of Fleeing Coward, who had seemed to be of the opinion that people who had voted to lynch the wolf (AsteronIronhoof) were more suspicous than the people who wanted to lynch the villager. I wasn't saying that I should get credit for voting to lynch a wolf. I was pointing out that Fleeing Coward seemed to be advocating that we look for future lynch targets among the people who wanted to lynch the wolf.

    Quote Originally Posted by Aventine View Post

    "Do we have any logic on these targets aside from flying under the radar?"

    Yes... I very clearly had no clue what the accusation against BasketOfPuppies was. Clearly I had no idea what I was doing when I voted for the player who was most blatant about not doing anything. That's totally what I meant when I asked if there were other reasons aside from the one I was aware of.

    I swear, sometimes it feels like you people speak a different version of English from the one I speak. I explicitly mentioned the major crime all three seem to have in common, and asked if there were any other specific crimes (I singled you out in asking for other crimes, since you seemed to be the most active of the three, at least in my mind,) but somehow what I said sounded like I had no idea why the puppies are on the chopping block. And it also sounded like I had no reasoning behind my vote.

    I would accuse you of doing it on purpose, but this sort of thing actually happens all the time. Apparently I have a way of stating something that makes it sound like I actually said something else.

    Anyway, it's midnight right now (I'm in the Pacific time zone,) and I've been sitting in front of this computer for far too long. I'll leave this discourse here for tonight and see if I have anything else to add tomorrow when I have more free time.

    You're not being lynched because you were away for a weekend. You're being lynched because your entire contribution to the discussion in this game could be summed up with "Holy cow! It's only day X and there's so much to read!" Aside from the three posts where you talked about that, here is everything else you've said so far:

    (I am very sorry about the 24 hour delay. I am now counting votes and writing the scene. Update should be up within the hour.)

    - - - Updated - - -

    Day 9 Ends

    It's all a set-up. People watching. Controlling things. They made us choose how we die.
    The Lady in Green's note is on everyone's mind. They're controlling things. Someone is. Several people are starting to have flashbacks. This has all happened before. Of course it has...


    "Yes, sir. Right away, sir..."
    George's voice is low and apologetic. "There will be no more mistakes, sir. It doesn't matter that they know. We can still succeed. What? No, we had no way of knowing. She wrote it away from the cameras." He hangs up the phone and returns to his station.

    "What now?" asks Bob.

    "Now we get someone lynched. Full power on the airborne chems."

    "That's now what he meant," says Susie with a sigh. "He meant overall, what do we do? Proceeding with the lynch is just a short-term solution."

    "There has to be a lynch."

    "And then what? What do we do after that?"

    George has had enough. "We kill someone, then we lynch someone, then we kill someone again! We keep doing it until the job is done! There are eleven people left. The job is almost done. Now do me a favor and release. The airborne. Chems. NOW."



    "You know," says someone suddenly. "I think it's a holiday today."

    "It is?" replies someone else. The world looks like it's spinning today... so dizzy... "Which one is it?"

    "It's Thanksgiving."

    "It's not Thanksgiving, silly, that's next month."

    "But it's Thanksgiving in Canada!"

    "But we're not in... wait... are we in Canada?"


    "I dunno. What do Canadians do on Thanksgiving?"


    "I think they lynch people."

    "Okay! Sounds like fun!" The camper looks around. "Is that a basket full of puppies over there?"

    "Yeah. It's been around for a while. What should we do now?"


    "Hang it from a tree!"

    "Okay!"

    The campers tie the basket's handle to a ribbon, then hang the basket from a tree.

    ".......well, what now?"


    "Dunno. I'm going to bed."

    "Yeah, okay. Me too."




    ".....that counts," says George.

    "Oh, COME ON!" shouts Susie. "George, you can't do this. You can't just 'good enough!' your way through the entire scenario. See, THIS is what happens when you release that many chems into the air."

    "Whatever keeps them away from waking up and realizing we're here!"

    Summary:
    BasketofPuppies was lynched. He was a Villager.

    Night 9 begins now and ends in 24 hours (I'm returning to the same cycle.). Please send in your night actions now.

    Night 9 Ends.

    "Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight..." a man sits on his cabin's rooftop, looking up at the stars. Another clear night, perfect for stargazing.

    He doesn't understand what everyone's talking about. Things happening again? How can this have happened before? But most of the villagers seem to agree with it... they can't all be crazy.

    "I wish I may, I wish I might... have the wish I made tonight..."


    A rustle comes from the bushes below. Ah, so maybe they are right. "Evening," he says, looking towards the bushes.

    The bushes stop moving.

    "No, no, don't bother. I know you're there. Come up."

    A small man climbs up the ladder left on the side of the cabin. He's short, wearing glasses and some sort of pop culture reference shirt.

    "1337 5P34|<3|25," he says. "Of course it had to be one of you."

    The small man shrugs.

    "I'm not going down easy, you know?"

    The man shrugs again.



    "Epic fight time?"

    "Epic fight time."



    Suddenly, swords! Steven reaches into his robe and draws a sword that he happens to already have with him. The 1337 man nods, straightens out his glasses, and draws his own. They bow.

    With a war cry, Steven charges at the 1337 speaker and brings his sword down on him, only for the man to dodge sideways and spin, bringing his own sword back. Steven parries the blow and pushes the man off. The 1337 speaker slips and rolls down, but manages to hold on to the edge of the cabin roof, and with superhuman strength, pulls himself up and somersaults over Steven, landing in time to bring his blade back.

    Steven meets the blade with his own sword. "You're pretty good."

    "B|20, j00 +00!"

    They both jump backwards and charge at each other again. Their swords dance as they exchange furious blows, to and fro. Both of them hold their ground...



    "Aaaaand NOW!" says George, pushing a button.



    Suddenly, something cracks below Steven's foot. He looks down. His foot went through the roof and he finds himself stuck.

    Unable to move, he is let with no options other than to duck and parry. They're not enough. Soon, his opponent finds a weakness and strikes his hand strong enough for Steven's blade to be sent flying.

    The 1337 speaker presses the tip of his blade against Steven's neck. "J00 4|23 41|234|)Y |)34|)."

    "....|)34|)?"

    "Oh, sorry. J00 4|23 41|234|)Y PVVN3|)"
    he says before stabbing Steven.

    Summary:
    Slii Arhem was killed. He was a Villager.

    Day 10 begins now and ends in 48 hours. Please vote now.

    Interesting choice. Slii seemed rather benign to me. I'll need to do a good dig through the thread. But not tonight as I am exhausted.

    At first I thought Duck was lying when he talked about another mason. With him still alive I have that doubt begin to germinate again. I realize we don't have anything that actually confirms Duck as a Mason. Sure ER kept her silence but then she didn't claim to save herself so we can't take that as Gospel.

    So... early placeholder vote to give Duck999 the opportunity to remove all doubt. Shouldn't be hard.

    This is strange because if it wasn't for the fact that ER didn't dispute Duck's Mason claim, I'd say that he and Alarra are both wolves at this point based on day 1...
    Combing through the thread one more time now, I'll post my thoughts in abit.

    - - - Updated - - -

    OK, I have got to ask - Duck is Alarra a mason or were you just trying to cover for ER by including Alarra in there?

    Having gone through the thread one more time, there is 0 doubt in my mind that BurgeoisJerry is 100% wolf here. Sprig, you played a good game but your reactions and attempts to guide future wagons has landed you solidly as my other lock for the second wolf.

    The third wolf is where it gets complicated, if Alarra isn't a mason, she'd be my leading candidate for third wolf but if she is a mason then I'd say it's a toss up between Aventine and Penguinator and I'd put Penguinator slightly ahead out of respect for Shadow's gut although this is too close for me to call at this point.

    Legato Endless's voting record speaks for itself, I'd say there's 0 chance that he is a wolf and if he is, well played.
    ThePhantom's voting record also means I have a heavy villager read on him and nothing he has done really makes me think that he's likely to be a wolf either.

    Myself, I'm saying I'm a villager. I didn't bother going through my voting records to see how it might look because I know I'm a villager and a weird as this might sound, trust me on this, I wouldn't be playing the game like this as a wolf.

    *blinks* What?

    Duck still being here is definitely bizarre, but...not in any context does it imply guilt. It implies someone evidently has other priorities than killing a confirmed Townie. Although at this point I'm not sure what. It's not like we're going to get frustrated and kill him for them. Actually, I'm seriously curious if that's a genuine motive.

    Duck definitely deserves some kind of commendation for being simultaneously cleared and yet remaining the scummiest looking player. But there's no way Emerald wouldn't dispute, or at least vote for him. That's beyond network failing. That's actively pushing the wolves to victory.

    I'm really conflicted between Aventine and Jerry. Rationally, Aventine's argument looks very solid, and Jerry's counterargument is mired in some stylistic foundations I lack the context to parse. On paper, it's clearly Jerry. However, my instincts are leaning heavily in the opposite direction to lynch Aventine.

    I need some time to think about this.

    Duck, at the very least you need to confirm if there is another a mason, because frankly we have to narrow the pool.

    I'll spend some time later today going through the thread.

    His arguments really aren't that solid. A lot of the "suspicious" things I've done are things a wolf wouldn't be dumb enough to do. For example, when a wolf was up for lynch I joined a counter wagon that had absolutely no hope of saving said wolf rather than just joining the wolf wagon to look good. Unlike some people, I'm acutely aware of how much time is left in a day, so it's pretty clear that I didn't expect to save AsteronIronhoof.

    There are reasons I behave the way I do, which I prefer not to explain too frequently, but let me assure you that if one of the two of us is a wolf, it's Aventine.

    BurgeoisJerry is most suspicious right now. He hasn't helped much, and really isn't doing much contribution... like I'm one to talk.
    Legato, thanks for the compliment.
    Yes, Alarra is a mason.
    I realize my claim was at a bad time because I wasthe other wagon, but I had to claim to lynch a wolf. So now you know 2 masons who are alive.

    Completely unlikely yes. Not impossible though.
    Pretend duck is wolf for a minute. It would be the greatest play ever.
    -Two wolves in the firing line "Its too late to change the vote off both of us lets both claim mason!"
    - Sole remaining Mason doesn't counter claim cos she mislikes claiming.
    - Duck now in clear to claim wolf buddy as mason.

    Sure, a whole lot of assumptions but still possible. Good thing is Duck can easily help rule it out.


    *Waves flag to get ducks attention.*

    Yeah proof mate! proof?
    - - -

    As for Aventine / BurgeoisJerry: my read on that is they are both town. Thought if I had to lean one way or the other it would be towards Aventine

    Jerry has been prodded a few time and each response looks town to me. Saying that he hasn't helped is factually incorrect. Though his last comments about dumb wolves moves sparks attention. One should not rule out what wolves may or may not do.

    As for Aventine, well, he has been wrong every time so far. I had earlier marked him down as suspicious and voiced as such but I was at home at the time so didn't have my notes to refer to. When I did double check back at work, all I had down was simply his name. So after going through his posts again the only really bit of funny business was around the time of those votes against him. But if you read through those I think the logic behind him is quite sound and he comes out quite articulate. So apart from his voting record and some initial gut doubt, he reads town.


    Although both of you should provide some reads/thoughts on the rest of the players.

    Particularly around:
    - thePhantom : Is FC's read match with yours? Also is he the type of player who will then back someone because they defended them against suspicion?
    - Masons : is 5 a realistic number? I am naturally suspicious simply because I haven't played in games with that many masons. In an absolutely paranoid moment (Considering Duck is still alive and hasn't yet provided concrete proof) ~ how do you feel about a FC/Duck/Alarra combo for wolf?
    - FC in general
    - Legato


    For my mind. I think we might as well fry the biggest and most suspicious fish and see how much he wiggles. Though it can't be much more than he already has.

    One of the biggest traps that I see wolves do is to project themselves and their behavior onto another player. Fleeing coward is guilty of this.

    He has accused me of two things that you see in his own behavior.

    1. Guiding lynches. - While nothing wrong with accusations to generate discussion (in fact normally commendable behavior). He has been running around throwing accusations here and there, setting things up for the next day. He is taking far more of a lead than I am. But what is interesting is what sparked this flurry of activity.

    2. Reactions - My only reaction to his accusation (and to be fair minor accusation at that) was expression my annoyance at the associated he put between myself and him. Where as, if we look at his expedient attempts to look town, that all started from the suspicion that started to heap up on him.

    I also think that the reason why he has't actually voted me yet (apart for laying the ground work) would be subconsciously, voting for me would be like voting for himself.

    The other thing that I think about is sometimes the simplest answer is the correct one. Why Slii? He was pointing at Fleeing Coward.

    Sprig, your whole post just reaks of desperation in trying to find any non wolf target to potentially convince the villager to lynch here.

    5 masons and 6 wolves (mason numbers+devil) is pretty much standard numbers for what is basically Classic WW.

    There's a whole archive of games on this forum to determine my behaviour and anyone who's played a decent amount of games with me would realise that the kill pattern this game just isn't how I play WW. Duck and Alarra would be long dead by now if I was a wolf since I never leave confirmed town to provide a rallying point around when I'm wolf. Only a relatively newcomer to this forum would think they have any chance of casting suspicion on Duck if they left him alive long enough because they're not used to this number of masons in a WW game.

    If you insist on making it me against you, then let's make it me against you since lynching either you or Burgeois should prove that the other is also a wolf in my opinion. Sprig.
