Tell me who to vote for, and I'll do it. Are we going to kill Boro and TGWBS? Are we going to vote Boro and Encai? Are we going to drop the double lynch and just kill her now and hope it works?

It sounds as though Esty is for the double still. I don't think I am because it needs to include Boromir. What do you think Fea and also Mister? I'm pretty sure I want to get Encai gone though.

morm, please explain why you now think Boro innocent - I don't see it. And as long as he's possibly guilty, a double lynching is a good idea.

Sure, he voted for himself, which would be a stupid move for a wolf, but he did so at a time when that move would seem to show his innocence. Only Enca's vote sealed his fate.

Let's sum up the situation and debate what we can best do. There are four of us left now - morm, Fea, Underhill and myself. As far as I can judge, all four of us are likely to be innocent. The three that we consider most likely to be guilty have already voted. How can we make the best of this situation?

Let's gather arguments for either of the two remaining and, should we decide to stick with the double lynching, decide which one of them should be included.

I think we're better off with short posts, exchanging ideas more quickly, than with long ones.

I agree on short posts, Esty.

Let's see...

'Cai votes for Boromir
Boromir votes for Boromir
TGWBS votes for TGWBS

We've still got votes available from

morm
Fea
Esty
Underhill

If we decide to kill TGWBS and Boromir, we only really need one more vote. If three abstain from voting, the two will die, and there is so minimal likelihood of anybody stopping the vote that even the precaution of having at least two extra innocents around is almost unnecessary, though just for safety, I say keep it.

However if we decide to kill Boromir and Encai, we need at minimum two votes. I think it best for the group-chosen "most trusted" to abstain from voting. I highly doubt anything fishy will happen, given that the three top suspects have already voted, but you know... just in case. No such thing as being too careful.

And if we decide to just kill 'Cai, we need three of the four of us to vote for her, and the last probably just not to vote.

Jeez. Gods all bless the phantom for having a rule against everything. You'll note that I don't mention which gods, and what their opinions on a decent blessing are.

Right, so nix my previous voting plans, here are rule-fitting ones:

With Boromir having two votes, and TGWBS having one, we could kill them thus:

Fea votes TGWBS
Underhill votes Boromir
Esty votes TGWBS
morm votes Encai, just for the heck of it, saving him from auto-lynch

To kill Boro and Encai:

Fea votes Encai
Underhill votes Encai
Esty votes Encai
morm votes Boromir

Mister Underhill has been trapped in the Barrow!
I don't know what to recommend. Enca has taken what looked like a pretty good situation and turned it upside down. Carelessness? I don't know. I'm feeling she has to go down one way or the other. Now the only other real question is whether to take B88 too.

I've been back and forth on him. There seems to be some wisdom in going for the double, even though I'm undecided. morm seems the likeliest target for the night if we miss. There's no way for a wolf to foist this catastrophe on him.

That would leave:

tgwbs
Esty
Mr. U
Fea

Then the ones who are left take out Shorty tomorrow.

Looks like our best shot at the moment.

think open-mindedly

I have a hypothetical question. Say we double-lynch today, and manage to get two innocents, then morm dies tonight, leaving Underhill's list of tgwbs, Esty, Underhill, and me...

Then we kill TGWBS and find out [remember my hypotheticalness, and you'll understand my question shortly] that he's also innocent...

Then say I'm killed off the next night...

Leaving two villagers, Esty and Underhillo. Do they kill each other leaving "Moderator Wins!!!"?

OK, then let's gather arguments for lynching tgwbs first, then go back for Enca after that.

For most of the time, I thought that his involvement was helpful, but his voting record is strange. Now, his vote for himself could be a bluff on his part, a wolf cornered and defensive, but for some reason he just doesn't seem wolvish to me!

In post #321, he said:
Quote:
I voted for myself because I thought I was a little higher on people's lists...
Now wherever did he get that idea? I didn't see him high on any list!

I say that we double Boromir and Encai and if that doesn't work, we take out TGWBS tomorrow.
