I, for one, think that the mods were unlikely to choose someone feared or distrusted by the seer as a baddie - the game would be over too quickly. I also think they might have made logical choices and had the gifteds trust each other (not that I'm saying we should speculate about their identities, but the gifteds themselves can consider this).

I agree with the gifteds trusting each other to some extent. I think that the seer and ranger most likely trust each other but the hunter is one that distrusts the other gifteds. As for the wolves one is probably a feared, one is a distrusted person and the final one a trusted person.

It is the only way Boro can be satisfied. If the seer fears/distrusts too many of the wolves... over too quickly.

Rikae · 08-13-2009, 12:32 PM

Meh. Hakon is a very safe vote, a typical Day 1 lynch, and therefore, probably innocent.

And what about all those people who simply aren't posting? Who is making any effort here to flush them out of hiding? I miss Nogrod.

Hakon · 08-13-2009, 12:35 PM

Last game I got one vote on day one and a whole lot of people telling me I was suspicious. I turned out to be innocent. So far out of those to vote for me I am only suspicious of one of them. Sorry Morm. It is just you voted so early on and your reason was only because I brought up something you said before the game started. It seems just off. I just have a gut feeling about your vote being off.

satansaloser2005 · 08-13-2009, 12:37 PM

If I'm not mistaken, Morm voted you because you suggested that we use the surveys to figure out who people were. (Really, I don't see much point. Good discussion, but like in Shasta's game we'll never know if we're right.) I, like Morm, think it's not right. Now of course if I'm wrong I'll beg Morm to correct me, but still.

Ahh that also reminds me, Lommy wanted you informed she would be on and able to post, but the first couple days she couldn't participate too much...and seeing this gargantuan amount of posts (hehe) maybe even less.

Nienna · 08-13-2009, 12:37 PM

I'm still in class but terribly bored... haha... So I've kept reading and I'm cool with voting for Fea (this is after freaking out for a while making sure that she is still alive and that I don't need to rush home/ to the hospital). This way we can make sure we aren't lynching a gifted or even an ordo. It will give us another day to work out who the baddies are.

That's because she'd rather hang out with live BDers than pixelated ones. Hmph. We should lynch her for that.

Brinniel · 08-13-2009, 12:43 PM

I never thought phantom would be the most sensible one here...

I don't see what wrong with voting Fea if you don't have any other candidates available. She may or may not be evil, but the body count will rack up quickly enough as it is with two deaths per Night, so we might as well prevent any extra deaths due to modfire. Yeah, we have killed baddies on Day One in the past, but the chances we will lynch the bear toDay in order to bring the Night kills down to one are pretty slim. And anyway, I have to go now and I might not return. Considering I have no viable suspects at the moment, who else am I to vote for? I really don't feel like randomly voting another player, so I might as well vote someone who will die anyway. Either that or not vote anyone.

It seems most of you think voting Fea is bad choice. So tell me, would you rather have me make a No Vote instead? I would imagine that would be even less useful, but please enlighten me. I do apologise I can't make a reasonable vote due to my early departure, but I do have a life after all and I am horrible at finding anyone suspicious on Day One as it is, especially this early in the Day...

Not voting, or voting Fea is something I will not do. The body count will indeed quickly mount. But if you're voting, why not vote for someone who could at least potentially be a threat to innocents, instead of someone who will be gone anyway? In my admittedly rather limited WW experience I've never seen the logic of that, and this is no exception.

The problem is I have no candidates who I find potential threats, and anyway, whenever I do vote for the person I suspect most on Day One, I get suspected for it (such as last game).

Well don't bother analysing my vote regardless of who it's for. If it's not a no vote or for Fea, then it'll be randomly for someone else. Unless I have time to return and find a real suspect.

This seems awfully strange. I get it that only by lynching the bear will we get the kills to one but she seems to discount the lynching of the wolves completely. A wolf wouldn't be unhappy to get rid of the bear. Also just because odds are slim doesn't mean we shouldn't at least try. This line of thought makes me fairly suspicious of Brinn.

satansaloser2005 · 08-13-2009, 01:06 PM

Heck if I even know what's going on anymore.

My vote for Hakon stands. If he's innocent, I'm sorry, but the things he brought up bother me and I'll probably think clearer if he's gone. That and I think at the very least he wishes he were the actual cobbler.

Just so there's no doubt.

Leaving now. Have a nice rest of the Day, chillens.
