Anyway, that's my big reveal, and I will ask everyone now (excluding morm and Nogrod - you two sit in the corner, and take your unknown wolf partner too ) how can we get this double-lynch today?

Okay all I can say is if I were able I would kill my fellow wolves myself. I wanted to kill you since night 1 but didn't assert myself well enough. To find the last wolf just look for the guy who's eating his boot.

That is uncanny. I want to point out that if any imitation occurred, it was on the part of Ilya.

Is this a figure of speech that I haven't heard before? Or should we take it as a hint?

I will probably vote phantom for rep, because I know for a fact that he is innocent.

I googled the phrase "eat his boot." My only results had to do with Charlie Chaplin, tramps, or some combination thereof. It seems unlikely, though, that morm would hint as to the identities of a fellow wolf. So I guess I should disregard the remark.

EDIT: Crossed with Ilya

Yes, I thought you probably figured it out because of my relatively quick turn from almost voting to lynch Agan and then voting her as my rep the next day. I loved the attitude of "I'm not going to get lynched because of Boro" yesterday.

Ilya, thank you, and I hope you got to see now some of the seer mechanics and hints...are you the 4th wolf by the way?

morm, I enjoyed our sideshow yesterday, I hope you had some fun. You're a tough one to crack, but I really didn't expect you too...I just like putting on a show.

So, are you saying if we all vote for you as rep, you will vote to lynch the unknown 4th wolf and then we could proceed to double-lynch you and Nogrod the following day? Or do you want to do the doublye-lynch today, and lynch you tomorrow so you could have the dignity of being the last wolf? You're driving a hard bargain.

A plan: Not The Plan, but a plan: It just seems like we need reps who'll step up and coordinate their votes by dividing the votes quickly, in close succession. Then somebody filibusters (phantom, this would be your calling, I believe) until the deadline passes. I can't believe I'm saying this, but fewer reps would probably get the job done easier.

Edit: Ha, Boro, I kinda wish I was, actually. Then the game I've been playing would seem so much more well constructed and sly and calculating than it really is.

Ilya, I was going to tell tp we will probably need his filibuster, you're good in mind book. If you're a wolf, well...nevermind I just hope you aren't.

Isn't there a special Ordo that can turn into a wolf at will, or something? That'd be cool, then I could just be like, "Oh, I was totally a wolf all along." Ah well. Another time.

Congrats on the 4000 posts, by the way.

Heh heh... Figured you might.

Yeah, after Day 1 my list of possible Seers was Kath, Green, Gwath, morm, Brin, and you. I was hoping it was you because that would mean that I was already Seer dreamed innocent.

When you continued your treatment of me on Day 2 and told Agan that you were a bit too hasty with her, I started leaning heavily in your direction.

By the time I made this post here I was pretty well bought in-

I think I trust her more than Boro even at this point.
I was trying to poach your dream, essentially, and make both Agan and myself a juicier target than you.

And the stuff at the very end of Day 2- well, that was just plain fun.

I'm currently pondering the double lynch situation. I'll make a post soon.

As far as the double lynch, here's what I see...

We are working with 11 people (I'm not counting morm and Nog and Gil).

I think we can probably count on all eleven to follow orders because the one remaining Werewolf won't dare step out of line at this point in the game.

We vote Boro three votes.

We vote phantom three votes.

Now, we just need to select someone else to receive three votes, and a fourth person to receive two votes.

If we do that then we don't need to filibuster or anything.

If we follow the voting plan above, then our voting Reps will hold the following vote power-

3-3-3-2

If either morm or Nog votes for a Rep with 3 votes, the other three-vote Reps cast their votes and the people with 4 and 2 abstain, resulting in a tie.

If both morm and Nog vote for the same Rep, once again two of the Reps with 3 votes force a tie.

If they vote for two different 3-vote Reps, they'll still be tied.

If they vote for a 3-vote Rep and the 2-vote Rep, there will still be multiple 3-vote Reps, and thus a tie vote is once again possible.

So long as we do our Rep voting early in the day, and do our lynch voting early in the Day, those two WWs can't possibly filibuster the entire Day.

Please tell me if you see a flaw in the plan. I'm tired, so I may have overlooked something.

But if no one spots anything, I will be happy to write up a voting map which will assign everyone a Rep to vote for.

All we need to do is come up with our two other Reps. It won't really matter if we choose a WW, because, as I said earlier, he won't dare step out of line when he's the last one left.

Well, Nerwen, can you promise promise promise that you will be around early during Part 2 of toDay?

In other words, will you be around exactly 22 hours from now?

Those of you who are around, please look over the voting plan outlined in posts #1253 and #1254.

If it looks to you like it is sound, let me know so that I can begin outlining the plan in greater detail.
