    I'm right.

    ...I can't believe you felt the need to repost that stupid plan. On the same page, no less.
    You guys should be really fucking weary of the people attempting to grab power and off people willy-nilly within the first days. Certain baddies are trying to tip the scales to create distractions. I'm a fucking villager. Kill me if you want, but seriously, keep an eye on Werehippy and DUE.

    I would like to point out that there was no vig kill last night.

    Also, I don't like the idea of the village choosing who the vig should kill. It reeks of evil tampering.
    How do you know? There were two kills, in addition to the village kill. Could have been one vigilante and one bad guy kill.

    EDIT: Also, holy crap that list you made... I'm adding it to the Upcoming Games Thread's OP.

    Snake kill.

    Raven kill.


    I thought it was pretty obvious.
    Indeed. I really should read those narrations instead of just looking at the bold red names :oops:

    OK, so I'm trying to fathom roles:

    The snake and the raven are presumably two seperate evil factions, allied.

    The owl is the seer, one would presume.

    The smith is the guardian.

    The monkey is a vigilante who is on our side.

    From the sign up thread:
    The trickster god is enamoured with humans and loves infuriating his fellow gods, especially the vile plans of the dark twins; he does not care if he rules but works to ensure that humans live.

    The fox is a neutral player out for themselves (greedy god, shunned by others), no further details I can fathom.

    The west wind can probably seer the dead, can possibly resurrect them, and is likely out for themselves as well:
    The quiet god wants to rip the barrier between the living and the dead and flood the world with the souls of the departed so he can spread his influence to the living.

    The rising sun I'm unsure of, but based on the night one narration is opposed to the west wind, and probably a good guy.

    By my theory there are probably six bad guys and two neutrals out for themselves. Plus I want this post recorded to see how well I read LaOs' mind at the end.

    I enjoy Narrations that matter. My style is to have the Narrations reflect the actions of the day.

    If something happens in the day with respect to Actions, the Narration will reflect that. Sometimes the reflection is subtle, sometimes it is not. Remember, there are two aspects to the Narrations in this game.

    Wait, when did this happen? I didn't even notice someone was building a case against me until I just saw two votes for myself.

    I've been working the last couple days and I was busy last night, so I'd hop in the thread, catch up, and throw off what any comment that seemed relevant. So far, unless I'm forgetting something, the only position I've taken is fuzzy getting off the bandwagon yesterday is the most suspicious thing I've seen so far.

    I'm not at all sure he's a baddy, but as far as I can tell he's more likely than trying to wade through the noise from all the vote switching at the last minute or taking a pot shot into the crowd at random.


    edit: Wait, what the hell? I'm guilty because I tried to cause a tie? I'm the one who was arguing AGAINST all the switching to make a tie, and I went to fuzzy when he was still leading by two to shore up the vote count there.

    I'm a little suspicious of Stew_Stick, but not enough to vote for him. It seems like the best way to "prove" to everyone that you're a good guy is to claim you're part of a now-defunct mason pair. But nobody else came out to denounce him, so who knows?

    I'm not convinced that tie shenanigans were caused by the bad guys. Not on the first day, anyway.

    Hmm, decisions. Day 2 is never much better than Day 1.

    That counts.

    If anyone is looking for shenanigans I'd look on the last page where a half dozen people can out of the woodwork to pull fuzzy out of the fire.

    Unless you're looking for the restaurant with all the stuff on the wall, in which case it's like 5 blocks down then make a right. You can't miss it.

    Fuzzy, I understand you have to at least try and save yourself but that's pretty weak reasoning.

    Yes, I do think it's suspicious that you managed to get a burst activity and, despite several tries by people (myself included), had a sudden swing change the vote for the entire day (though not definitive by any stretch). No, it isn't suddenly suspicious when other people see a hole in the logic that apparently has me trying to cause a tie (which I didn't) and then somehow being the most suspicious of all the people on that list (and I notice the names of the people who originally started the push to maximus when you were leading didn't even make it on the list of suspects).

    Okay, so here's my case. Red Bird is a baddie or bad vig, is new and does not know how to mask himself well, so he goes with the obvious (not to him) "Lol if I say everything opposite of evil, they will never suspect me."
    He is in cahoots with Werehippy, who continuously attempts to tip the scales by posting infrequently, but having each post contain strong suggestions. This is of course, entirely speculatory, but how often do people stick up for each other on day 2 without there being some sort of networking going on? If they are good, then oust themselves, if not then, uh, RED ALERT.

    Not to throw anyone under the bus, but AGAIN I had long days at work yesterday and today, and was busy last night so I didn't post much and when I did I tried to actually be useful (though I am proud of my shenanigan's quote tree) and I haven't stood up for anyone. I just think the case against me is pretty stupid.

    And just because people don't agree with you trying to push me in front of the vote isn't necessarily them sticking up for me as much as disagreeing with you or aldo. We probably need to look at the late night activity yesterday, but there are better places to start than the guy who tried to hold the line against the change in targets, to the point where I'm now putting myself on the line standing by it.

    I'm perfectly happy to change my vote from fuzzy, because it's predicated on the baddies either being stupid or ballsy as hell, IF someone has a better idea. I just voted before I crashed last night with the best course I could see, and I haven't seen aything better other than this half backed thing on me predicated on no one actually looking at whne I cast my vote on day 1.

    I'm voting TheSpectre and Werehippy, cos I've re-read stuff and think I'm right. I may just be reading too much into something, but that's what I think, for what its worth.

    Honestly, I'm not buying the arguments against any of the front-runners today. The one against FCC was silly from the beginning, and the one against durax and werehippy, originally put forth by Aldo, is based on them trying to tie the vote last night, when in fact the opposite is true. Given that I don't have time to form an actual argument against someone, I'm going to vote Aldo for apparently supplying us with misinformation.

    - Last night a number of players tried to create a tie, even though the host noted that a tie would not be good for the village, for as far as I could notice the following people are guilty of this: Hilger, Werehippy, Satan., Medopine and Durax. Naturally not all of them can be bad guys, but I would not be surprised if one or more of them just tried to create confusion.

    -Last night was day one, the day where we kill someone on little to no information, we picked on FCC and Maximus for no proper reason, just because one of the two of them was not a bad guy does not mean the other was. FCC did not make a bigger effort than one would expect to dodge a baseless bandwagon so I do not get the people going "hmm, he is not dead, how suspicious!" If someone thinks otherwise I urge him to properly quote some posts incriminating FCC.

    I base my vote on these variables: who tried to create a tie? and who jumps on the FCC bandwagon?

    That reduces my list to Werehippy and Durax. Considering Durax already has more than null votes I will hereby !vote to kill Durax[color].

    The OP say that ties are not in the best interest of the village, I acted to preserve the best interest of the village. If that is worth scorn, I can accept it (we don't know what the tied vote would have accomplished).

    Voting for FCC for information doesn't seem dumb to me as I think there was a definite reaction to him being band wagoned, and if we learn his alignment that points to the likely alignment of those who tried to save him.

    If there are better leads I am certainly willing to listen.

    I think the one against Durax is for tying the vote. The one against Werehippy is for being insidious. The one against Redbird is for continuously defending Werehippy without declaration of a good alliance.
