I'm not saying everyone bandwagons to vote McCaber, because that doesn't tell us anything (even if he is a wolf) and would be a waste. However, giving him a few votes to make him an able quick choice if needed to avoid a disastrous lynch shouldn't be anything to *gasp* over.

Not everyone can stay to the DL everyday (this game I'm gonna be one of those who can't). As far as I know right now, he's going to be mod-fired at the end of the day if he doesn't vote, and if there is someone else you feel strongly wolvish about go for it, but in the event that we're wrong and there's a gifted reveal, it's nice to have a fallback option to go to. If McCaber's going to get mod-fired (maybe we can ask Shasta for clarification?), it would be most wise to make him the fallback if there is some sort of untimely reveal or chaotic madness that happens far to often towards the DL.

If you think to, it really doesn't waste a lynch/day, just delays it to the next day. It would be a waste if everyone bandwagons to vote for McCaber now, but giving him a few votes to make him an option and protect against a disastrous lynch...there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I'm really not liking this post. I can understand his logic, but at the same time it seems like he's trying to be too careful. Then again, at the same time I haven't seen him as too suspicious (at least not without taking a closer look at him) so I think I'm just reflecting everyone else's paranoia.

If someone's going to get modfired, let them get modfired. For all we know Cabbie is a gifted and if we use him as our "backup lynch" that could end even worse than if we use someone some of us, I don't know, suspect.


List in a moment I believe.


EDIT: x'd with Lottie, bolding

[satansaloser2005]

Hold on. Only two people have voted so far? Surely I've missed some!


Nerwen-->Boro
Morsul-->Blind

Really!? And here I thought that no votes had been posted yet.

I'm debating whether or not to vote now. Part of me wants to in case I have no internet. Yet I'm not sure I want to waste my vote on McCaber. Especially if xe is going to get modfired if xe doesn't vote toDay. Yet I really don't know who else to vote for at this point.

For the record, sweetie, Cabs is a boychild.

Thanks!

[satansaloser2005]

Sectioning people off with just a basic list for now.


Will not vote:
Blind (new kid on the block pass)
Paranoia (ditto)
Tum (ditto)
Sally (for obvious reasons)
Nerwen (I currently trust her)
Lottie (ditto)
Cabbie (nothing to go on)
Glirdan (not a lot to go on)

Might vote upon further inspection:
Mira
Inzil
Celuien

Will consider voting:
Elf (for reasons and squicks stated earlier, which I feel quite more strongly than before, though Elf is still not my first choice)
Boro (because I'm having trouble believing he's innocent what with all this plotting, though I'm thinking he's just trying to achieve some sort of weird Phantom like prize....maybe he's just gone mad?)
Morsul (for being so anti-village and not even trying to disguise it)

*bangs head against wall* Yes, but it absolutely would not waste the # of lynch chances. It just delays the chance to the next day.

It's impossible to lose the # of lynch chances you get in a game. Let's say we lynch someone else and McCaber's mod-fired, that's 2 chances (1 day) at a wolf. If we lynch the person who was going to be modfired 1 chance (1 day), but with the 1-less death, do the math...we either delay and get an extra-day phase (2nd chance) or pick up an extra-night phase giving the ranger, or hunter extra chances to succeed.

You say it's all logical and makes sense. Admit there's really nothing wrong with it, but still call it a waste?

You keep forgetting about the Night-kill. And besides, I don't want to settle for a stall-the-game lynch; I want to kill a wolf! Not to mention the fact that killing Cabbie tells us nothing. He hasn't posted, and chances are really bad that he'd be a wolf.

But you're assuming Cabbie's not a wolf. And again it's not stalling the game at all! We either get 2 shots 1-day, or 2-shots 2-days to get a wolf.

What is so impossible to understand that you can't lose the # of lynches in any game. With any number of people, you get the same # of chances to lynch a wolf, because the number of people don't change, just the amount of days.

Please Lottie, point to where I said we all go and vote for McCaber right now...I said I'm not going to be on the DL, and I don't want to wake up finding out I was lynched, on top of someone else being mod-fired (on top of already losing wilwa). I said we need to make him an available choice to protect against an absolutely disastrous lynch. Who knows what you can learn from McCaber's death, or the votes? You can't until he's killed.

And again it's not wasting any chance we have t lynch a wolf...none whatsoever. Do the math, do you want 2 chances at a wolf, in 1 day or 2 chances in 2 days? So I'm doing it because I'm tired of arguing this, as I argued it the last time I advocated it. When you come to realize I'm right, I will rub it in your face, just so you know.

I'm not saying you must absolutely be wrong and thus evil for suggesting it, I'm just saying that I don't agree. I still don't agree, but I'm willing to let it drop and agree to disagree. Actually, the fact that you kept fighting for this is annoying, though - it's stirring up my poor little brain cells into yet more confusion, as I don't know if this is evil or not. Little Lottie let her mind wander...

[satansaloser2005]

Boro, dear, I get what you're saying. You've voted, now log off and go to bed, like I'd be doing if I was you. Sleep and you'll see what happened in the morning, k?

Good work. Sleep well. *snuggles you* And don't worry, it'll most likely turn out fine.

[Keeper of Dol Guldur]

I'm too annoyed to deal with this game right now (yes, I am letting RL influence my WW playing), and as such am not in the mood to be nice to newbies when they've been ticking me off hardcore for the past day by not reading the rules and asking questions that would be answered by reading said rules.

++Blind Guardian

I don't really feel like voting Boro since my gut says he's guilty and my gut is never right in this game. I'll laugh really hard if I'm proved wrong.

[Loslote]

Right. Well. I think it's time for another round of...

Listing People With Lottie!!!

Suspicious:
Morsul (annoying no-vote plus generally bad feelings)
Boro (mostly gut feeling)

Innocent:
Lottie ()

Mostly Innocent:
Mira (still feels good)
Zil (no bad vibes)
Nerwen (like her style)
Sally (seems like normal Sally)
Tum (haven't seen anything to make me suspect her)
Elfie (seems fairly innocent)
Xed (haven't seen anything bad)

Somewhat Suspicious:
Glirdy (all I remember him doing was that vote for me yesterDay; has he been back?)
BeiGe (seems to be rather linked to Boro)
Noia (extremely aggressive for a newbie)

If They've Posted, I Don't Remember It:
Cabbie

~~~

I will only vote for someone in my Suspicious or Somewhat Suspicious categories. Everyone who does make The List is fair game.

Dear one, I said I understood your logic. I just don't agree with it.

If Cabbie's going to get modkilled then he's dead anyway. Say he's a wolf. (Best case, I know, but go with me.) We lynch Person X because we don't go with your plan, and Person X is also a wolf. Two down in one Day! Obviously this could work the other way too but I for one am not comfortable voting someone who can't be harm nor good to us right now and is going to die anyway. Nothing is gained without risk, and while we do have a higher chance of hitting two innocents that way I think it's a risk we have to take, especially if we think we can peg a wolf (who isn't Cab). I'll be holding my vote, so rest assured that if there's a gifted reveal, I'm wholeheartedly willing to go along with your plan (if there's no other choice). It just doesn't seem too likely to me, and I'd much rather have the second victim (for lack of a better word) be someone I suspect than someone who I don't even know is going to return.

Sounds to me like an overly crafted way to do a quick safe lynch toDay. Whether or not you're evil I'm suspicious of the plan itself, because it just doesn't work in the true best interest of the village. If we kill McCaber toDay and he'd be dead anyway, we've gotten nowhere, and besides, people can go along with it just to go along with it and then where are we for toMorrow?

Don't get me wrong, dear. It's a good contingency plan. Just not a good formal strategy. *snuggles you anyway, hopes you don't sprout fur*


Oooo, there's an idea....


EDIT: x'd with Lottie -again!- and remembering to bloody bold.

No. Sorry, a thought just occurred to me and I just stuck it on the end. I'd share if I could, but I don't think it would be a very good idea, see, so I won't. Sowwie.

This is a good point as well. I definitely like the idea of getting two wolves! However I'm at the point where I need to vote because my internet keeps on going down, and I would hate for it to not come back up at some point. So as much as I would like to get two wolves, I'm going to have to vote for Cabs. The reason I'm going to vote for Cabs is because I'm not sure if we'd be able to kill two wolves. The odds or more in the favor of us killing another ordo. And I really think we need all the villagers that we can have especially since the wolves have that double kill. I also would hate for us to take out one of the gifteds. Now there is also the chance that Cabs could be a gifted. I would really hate for that to be the case.

With all that here goes...

++McCaber

Edit: x-ed with Lottie and Boro

[Inziladun]

Boro's probably gone, but I still don't like this.

I keep coming back to the sticking point that by voting a modfire, we're in effect forfeiting our lynch. Yes, it means we're not killing someone who could be innocent who wasn't going to be gone anyway, but it also means there are still four wolves out there who are safe for another Day.

This just seems counter-productive for the village.

There's always the chance of unknowingly killing a Gifted. And also the chance of bagging a wolf.

Uh... first thing of note; isn't any vote on someone who's inactive essentially a wasted vote? Caber has as equal a chance at being a wolf as anyone else. If that's the case just letting the modkill take care of him'd be enough for me; I'd rather look for the wolves among the people who are at least actively posting. At least they're the ones who won't catch themselves for us, so uh, I'm not sure what the Caber vote accomplishes...

It takes the heat off the wolves, that's what.
