TWG LXXXI: Pokémon X & Y
TEAM FLARE: The evil team spread across the Kalos region, wreaking havoc and attempting to build a weapon of horrific proportions. Lysandre, their leader, is a distinguished businessman and is even considered a friend by the esteemed Professor Sycamore, so as such is able to influence the Seers to misinterpret one player's color every night phase. He and his henchmen, fashionable though they may be, will be Seer'd red, though the elite Celosia can herself Seer other players. In addition, the similarly powerful Xerosic will be able to use force to prevent one player from using their power every night phase. Finally, Team Flare's prototype of the Ultimate Weapon allows them to have a "Piercing" power that will cause a person to die even if the Guardian has protected them, though this will only be effective once.
1. Lysandre (Wolf Painter)
2. Celosia (Wolf Shaman)
3. Xerosic (Wolf Roleblocker)
SPECIAL TRAINERS: These people of importance and influence in the Kalos region are helpful to the Pokémon Trainers that inhabit it. Professor Augustine Sycamore, a selfless individual who recognizes the importance in every Trainer, is able to protect one player other from himself from being killed every night phase. Diantha, the region's insightful Champion, can uncover another player's color every night phase. And the mysterious AZ, who wanders Kalos to search for a lost Pokémon, understands firsthand the horrible nature of what Team Flare is trying to accomplish and is attempting to stop them. He has the power to kill another player every night phase. These powers, however, will not be able to be used until Night 2, as these Trainers aren't aware of any suspicious occurrences until the first murder incident. These Trainers will be Seer'd blue.
4. Sycamore (Guardian)
5. Diantha (Seer)
6. AZ (Vigi)
POKÉMON TRAINERS: The good, hardworking, everyday citizens of Kalos, terrified by Team Flare's actions and under a lot of pressure to unmask the traitors among them. The Collector, a strange and often creepy Trainer, will be Seer'd red, while the Psychic, a seemingly supernatural Trainer, will be Seer'd blue.

Note that for all powers, including Wolfing, Painting, Seering, Roleblocking, Guarding, and Vigi-ing, I will accept the most recent PM before the end of the Night Phase as your choice in the case that I receive multiple PMs.
All Role PMs have been sent out. It is now Night 1. Night 1 will end July 5, 2015, at 9:00 PM EST. No powers other than Wolfing will be able to be used until Night 2, so use this time to talk amongst yourselves, use the IRC, or otherwise just post here for notifications.
If you have any questions, PM me.
I claim Psychic
Hey guys, what's the link for the IRC?
https://client01.chat.mibbit.com/
This may work. Let me check.
And this had better be an active game.
It works, but I can't remember if the channel is #TWGNSM or #NSMTWG
I remember it was changed because some weird people were hanging out in it, but I can't which one it was changed to.

Can't. He's the vigi too. :/
Claim to me, Mashi is a liar, I counter-claim wolf.
Serious post: We have the standard seer + guardian combo so one should claim to start an alliance. Preferably the guardian so we don't get any inactivity issues resulting in a dead seer (the guardian can guard himself correct?)
Never mind wolves can ignore guards. >_>
That, plus they can't activate their powers until Night 2. So giving away your powers right now would be reeaaaally bad.

So yeah. Giving away powers right now would be very bad. :)

Well, I can't say that's entirely unexpected. However, I also have to say that I believe that was a half-hearted attempt to incriminate Nocturne, as Fank apparently wanted Nocturne vigi'd. Nonetheless, this does not clear Nocturne either.

BlackDragonSlayer
can't tell if serious
I was under the impression that fank was joking about Nocturne. Or he was a wolf-monger. It was too soon to tell.
I, personally, believe that a strong tactic for the wolves is to remain inactive throughout the game, remaining out of the spotlight. With that in mind, I vote that we lynch either Bubbles, davy, Jub3r7, or Toby. It's Day 1. On what else can we base our accusation?
For the four of you, I suggest that you speak now or forever hold your peace. :)
Besides, do we really want inactive players in the late game? :P
Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 05, 2015, 06:42:43 PMBesides, do we really want inactive players in the late game? :P
No, we do not (it's very easy as a wolf to take advantage of people who don't vote to push a lynch that would otherwise not go through were more active players). If we don't have anybody else to lynch, that might be our best option.
Quote from: BlackDragonSlayer on July 05, 2015, 06:46:34 PMIf we don't have anybody else to lynch, that might be our best option.
Which, on Day 1, is usually the case. I'm all for lynching someone if they present wolf-like qualities. But, with a lack of any such prospects, I'm presenting this idea for the sake of having
somebody to lynch that might prove beneficial in the long run.
Quote from: BlackDragonSlayer on July 05, 2015, 06:25:52 PMcan't tell if serious
im 2000% srs bsnss rolls
People should get posting! We should only be lynching inactives as a last result, as mentioned before. Hopefully, no one will be inactive and it won't come to that though!!!
Fank realized no one would get vigi'd N1, right?
Quote from: Maelstrom on July 05, 2015, 07:44:50 PMFank realized no one would get vigi'd N1, right?
That's why I thought he was joking. It was in the spirit of NoS being Psychic, Wolf, and Fool, all at the same time.

He probably wanted Nocturne vigi'd Night 2, then.
brawler seems like a good vote to me so far, sorry if I'm rushing things cause I'm on mobile
oh yay it's day phase now let's find the wolves!!! if you think this sounds forced maybe yOU SOUND A LITTLE FORCED
I'm gonna throw a vote on NocturneOfShadow. I might change it later after reading some more but who knows???
also it's not because he's the person who was right before me. A BDS vote seems like a bandwagon at this point, Mashi can wait, and I'm waiting for the inactives to make posts.
Quote from: Jub3r7 on July 05, 2015, 09:15:16 PMI'm waiting for the inactives to make posts.
That's kind of what I'm doing as well. Not really much else on to go on atm.
Nocturne, just out of curiosity, what makes me a good vote?
btw, Chat Room (https://client00.chat.mibbit.com/?channel=%23TWG&server=irc.nfnet.org), guys. Please use it. :)
Chatting!
Bubbles, as per the norm, arriving fashionably late! (hair flip)
Fanks death looks like the classic "he attacked someone and then died, let's lynch him!!" wolf play. I'm gonna look through this giant list of people closer and try and develop my suspicions before I throw out nonsense
Also v excited to be playing a game with mashi jub and dude ALL in it!!

Mashi hola
Brawler4Ever hey
Mashi What do you think of BlackDragonSlayer?
Brawler4Ever what do you think is suspicious about him?
Mashi I asked first!!!
Brawler4Ever i personally don't see anything
Brawler4Ever lol
Mashi lol
Brawler4Ever i have nothing against him as of right now
Mashi It's not anything major, but I found his reaction to the wolfing to be unanticipated.
Mashi Whom did you think would be wolfed last Night Phase?
Brawler4Ever kind of random
Brawler4Ever how are the wolves supposed to know anything?
Mashi As did I.
Brawler4Ever i agree with Slayer's insight; it was probably to incriminate nocturne
Brawler4Ever or it might be to protect him
Mashi Which is why I found his first line of being "I can't say that's entirely unexpected" to be, unexpected!
Brawler4Ever lol true
Mashi What do you mean by "how are the wolves supposed to know anything?"
Brawler4Ever it was the first accusation of the game
Brawler4Ever the wolves are looking for the blues
Mashi I felt his analysis of the wolfing was awkward, as if he planned to say such.
Mashi Yes, they are.
Brawler4Ever they find the blues by the behavior of the players
Mashi Yup!
Brawler4Ever so far, there's no behavior to analyze
Mashi The behaviour will appear as the game goes on and stuff happens.
Brawler4Ever so for Night 1, it's literally "throw a dart and pray it hits a Blue" for the wolves
Mashi Yup!
Brawler4Ever that's what I meant
Brawler4Ever I personally don't trust FireArrow
Brawler4Ever that was a huge blunder on his part
Brawler4Ever it mgiht have been honest, but I'm not sure
Mashi What did FireArrow do?
Brawler4Ever told the Seer and Guardian to reveal themselves on Night 1
Brawler4Ever when they can't reveal their powers
Mashi Ah, I see.
Brawler4Ever he redacted his statement, but it was still... not smart
Brawler4Ever I'm not saying he's a wolf, I'm just saying I don't trust him.
Mashi I actually think he's slightly Human for a different reason.
Mashi Do you remember when he rescinded how he mentioned that he forgot that the Wolves can ignore guards?
Brawler4Ever yeah
Brawler4Ever that's what I meant
Mashi Don't you think a Wolf would have been more likely to have remembered that in the first place?
Brawler4Ever by "redacted"
Mashi And would never have mentioned for the Seer and Guardian to claim?
Brawler4Ever It's a tough rule, tbh
Mashi He redacted within about a minute of his remark.
Brawler4Ever very easy to forget
Brawler4Ever yeah
Brawler4Ever I don't think that's he's a wolf
Brawler4Ever I just don't trust him. That was a potentially HUGE blunder
Mashi Well, if you don't trust him, doesn't that imply that you think he's likelier to be a Wolf than Human?
Brawler4Ever no
Brawler4Ever I'm implying that he wouldn't be good at keeping secrets
Brawler4Ever It was nothing more than a facepalm moment
Brawler4Ever but still
Brawler4Ever I would hope that a Blue wouldn't trust him.
Brawler4Ever but if they do, that's their business
Brawler4Ever I have no intention of calling for FireArrow's lynching, to be clear
Brawler4Ever like we said, he redacted his statement. It was a mistake. He doesn't deserve to be lynched because of that.
=-= Mode #TWG +o Brawler4Ever by Mashi
Brawler4Ever that didn't ave, by the way
Brawler4Ever save*
Mashi rip
Mashi bcs you dont have an registered account on the nfnet server
Mashi /msg nickserv register password email
Brawler4Ever say that?
Brawler4Ever with password and email filled in, of course?
Mashi Yes.
Mashi And without the space.
Brawler4Ever which space?
Mashi I put a space before /msg
Brawler4Ever oh ok
Mashi And then whenever you want to log in, just type /msg nickserv identify password
Brawler4Ever ok i registered it
Brawler4Ever so if I log out, and say "/msg identify [my password] it'll log me in?

I have to sleep
sometime. ::)
Also, FireArrow, no offense meant. I'm sure you're a great person. It was just a potentially HUGE blunder. :)
Aaaand I'm still not an op. :'(
No offense taken. I skimmed the OP, posted, then read it more in depth. I didn't partake in voting for a game, so I really had no idea what I was jumping into. I unfortunately like to use vocalize my thoughts to help me get things straight rather than ironing everything out before posting (which ends up being problematic when I'm a wolf, but I digress.)
Right now my biggest suspicion is BDS. His analysis of the wolfing seems more like something a wolf would say to look like a human then something a human would say to genuinely make insight. Mashi is a close second because his behavior mimics that of a game I played as his wolf partner over at LLF (aggressive start to day 1 then mellows out into discussion about activity.)
Noc is hard to read because he acts like a troll human or wolf, so I don't wanna make any assumptions there.
Brawler4Ever and Jub3r7 are giving me human leans atm (the former for being extremely proactive, the latter for going against the current on day 1.)
I'd prefer a BDS lynch as of right now, he makes a great day 1 lynch because:
-Wolfy behavior
-He generally acts extremely wolfy and always ends up getting lynched mid/late game, so if he is a human mislynching him now than inevitably doing so at a more critical time.
Safety on Dude
I'll be in the chat soon probably maybe.
My master troll plan is working
Mashi's log is human points for him, Bds is one of my original suspicions, and latios sill might not be human
Hey look guys, I'm not completely inactive this game!
Currently chatting with Brawler, chatlog will follow soon.
Anyway, I've just noticed this part of jub's post:
Quote from: Jub3r7 on July 05, 2015, 09:15:16 PMMashi can wait
This implies he is thinking of lynching Mashi. Jub, I'd like to hear your reasoning for wanting to lynch Mashi.
I fell asleep so I'll be on after work! Promise!
Chatlog
18:23 *** davy joined #TWG
18:23 davy Ok, now I'll actually say something, lol
18:23 Brawler4Ever hey
18:29 davy So, summary of what happend this game: people joking all over the place, firearrow not noticing how the blues work, fank saying noct deserves to be vigi'd before dying, BDS pointing that out, Mashi voting for BDS in response, Nocturne voting for you, jub voting for Nocturne, and finaly FireArrow voting for BDS for his analysis on the wolfing.
18:29 davy That's it I think.
18:29 Brawler4Ever that pretty much covers it
18:31 Brawler4Ever still pretty sure fank was joking
18:31 davy So outside of the inactives there are three players that have been acting suspicious enough to be lynched: Nocturne, BDS and FireArrow.
18:31 Brawler4Ever but it's hard to tell
18:31 Brawler4Ever and me, apparently.
18:32 Brawler4Ever I wouldn't lynch FireArrow
18:32 davy Fank didn't specify when nocturne deserved to be vigi'd
18:32 Brawler4Ever he made an honest mistake
18:32 Brawler4Ever that's why I think fank was joking
18:32 Brawler4Ever he might not have been
18:33 Brawler4Ever I'm totally open to that, but I see no reason from my point of view that he should be suspicious of nocturne
18:33 davy The reason why I think he wasn't joking is that he meant that nocturne deserved to be vigi'd later in the game.
18:33 Brawler4Ever then again, he was active in chat before he was wolfed.
18:33 Brawler4Ever oh, you think that's what he meant? could have been
18:34 Brawler4Ever does he just not like nocturne? xD
18:34 davy No, but the main goal for the vigi is to not hit the blues.
18:34 Brawler4Ever of course
18:34 davy And nocturne is putting himself way to much into the spotlight to be blue imo.
18:35 Brawler4Ever i'm not familiar with blue mentality
18:35 Brawler4Ever in the several games i've played, i've never been a blue
18:35 Brawler4Ever always either a wolf or a human
18:35 Brawler4Ever although i had a resurrection staff once.
18:36 davy That was in game of fate, right?
18:36 Brawler4Ever i don't remember
18:36 Brawler4Ever it was an early game in NSM
18:36 davy Just looked it up, it was.
18:37 davy That game was awesome.
18:37 Brawler4Ever you're right!
18:37 Brawler4Ever i had a 50/50 chance between pumpy and hugo
18:37 Brawler4Ever i chose pumpy because he had been wolfed, rather than lynched
18:37 Brawler4Ever good times
18:38 davy Anyway, who are you thinking of lynching atm?
18:39 Brawler4Ever no idea lol
18:39 Brawler4Ever BDS seems like the most likely choice atm
18:39 Brawler4Ever "[fank's death] was unexpected"
18:39 Brawler4Ever what was he expecting?
18:40 Brawler4Ever i'm seeing mashi's point more and more
18:40 davy That's not what he said.
18:40 Brawler4Ever you're right
18:40 Brawler4Ever i just reread the post
18:41 davy I can't say [fank's death]'s entirely unexpected
18:41 Brawler4Ever "Well, I can't say that's entirely unexpected."
18:41 Brawler4Ever the EXACT opposite of what I said
18:41 Brawler4Ever good job, brain
18:41 davy What is Mashi's point?
18:42 Brawler4Ever the fact that BDS saw that fank's death was not "entirely unexpected"
18:43 davy And the problem with that is?
18:43 Brawler4Ever no idea. my head hurts now...
18:43 Brawler4Ever too much thinking
18:43 Brawler4Ever BDS "expected" fank to get wolfed
18:44 Brawler4Ever possibly (from the wolves' point of view) to incriminate NoS
18:44 Brawler4Ever if somebody is suspicious of a wolf, wolf that person to keep them quiet.
18:45 davy Wait, why did no one notice that Bubbles also explained the fank wolfing?
18:45 davy "Fanks death looks like the classic "he attacked someone and then died, let's lynch him!!" wolf play."
18:46 Brawler4Ever probably because BDS implied it first? maybe?
18:47 davy I guess.
18:47 Brawler4Ever it's the same thing, though. isn't it?
18:47 Brawler4Ever they're both making the same argument
18:48 davy Yes, it is.
18:48 davy Also, in jub's most recent post when explaining his vote he said: "Mashi can wait."
18:49 davy Why would he want to lynch Mashi?
18:49 Brawler4Ever lol
18:49 Brawler4Ever you're good at details. I just gloss over stuff.
18:49 Brawler4Ever but yeah]
18:50 Brawler4Ever it sounds like jub wants to lynch mashi
18:50 davy Indeed, but the question is why does he want that?
18:50 Brawler4Ever no idea
18:50 Brawler4Ever i hate it when people don't explain their reasoning
18:51 Brawler4Ever "I'm going to lynch this guy. Enough said."
18:51 davy That means we have got to ask him.
18:51 davy I'll make a post.
18:51 Brawler4Ever sounds good
18:53 Brawler4Ever nocturne thinks latios might be a wolf
18:53 Brawler4Ever maybe because of inactivity? he did check in, but that's it
18:54 davy If all he did is checking in, then inactivity would be the only reason to suspect him.
18:54 Brawler4Ever i agree
18:55 davy But in that case, there are more players to be suspicious off (me for example).
18:55 Brawler4Ever true
18:55 Brawler4Ever it's a delicate balance
18:55 Brawler4Ever between finding lurking wolves and just wolf-mongering
18:56 Brawler4Ever latios has said one word ("Present") and Toby hasn't said anything
18:56 davy Inactives are good candidates for vigi'ing, though.
18:57 Brawler4Ever i agree
18:57 Brawler4Ever which is why I say they're a last resort
18:57 Brawler4Ever said*
18:59 davy On another note, I was just thinking of possibilities for an alliance.
18:59 Brawler4Ever that would be up to the blues, imo
19:00 davy What do you think of the idea to have the guardian claim, connect the seer and the vigi, and then have the seer and the vigi opperate together without either of them claiming?
19:00 davy We'd lose the guardian, but we give the vigi the ability to kill any red results without the seer having to claim.
19:01 Brawler4Ever that would probably work
19:01 davy Also, if the seer finds the herring, the herring can be the spokesperson for the alliance for a day.
19:01 Brawler4Ever until they get wolfed?
19:02 davy Untill the seer and the vigi gets wolfed?
19:02 Brawler4Ever the herring
19:02 Brawler4Ever without a guardian, there's no protection for the spokesman
19:03 davy Yeah, that's why I said for a day.
19:03 Brawler4Ever yeah, i was trying to confirm that lol
19:04 davy Damn, why didn't I think of this yesterday?
19:04 Brawler4Ever i like the idea of an alliance
So, Alliance strategy. The guardian should claim so that the Seer and the Vigi can claim to him. The guardian will most likely get wolf'd the next night phase, but with all the wolf powers that would block him anyway, I'd say that isn't too much of a big deal. The seer and the vigi will form an alliance without claiming to the topic. This ensures they won't hit the same target the same night phase. Also, if the seer gets a red result that player doesn't have to reveal himself to the topic, because the vigi can just take that player out the next night phase.
aye I actually am here now, sorry was out BBQing with family and friends this weekend.
Is it announced when the piercing power is used?
but yeah I agree that with all the blocking the guardian probably won't be able to do much :/
I do see value in an alliance between the seer and vigi though, mostly to prevent them from targeting each other.

I do see value in an alliance between the seer and vigi though, mostly to prevent them from targeting each other.
Possibly because the guardian can't guard himself.
Just a reminder to those who haven't read the rules. (It seems like there's been quite a few)
An alliance is unnecessary and wouldn't amount to much. Firstly, because this isn't an alliance game. Secondly, because even if we had a Role like the Guardian claim, any of the Wolves could counterclaim (e.g. Seer, for example) and force us to lose both a Guardian and a Seer. Thirdly, alliances kill activity, so I would rather just not force one to happen in a game obviously designed to prevent them from forming easily.
In this type of game, claims should be trusted based on whether you trust the Player, anyway. Since there's no cardflip and it's difficult to establish an alliance, we won't know if a Special Role has been killed yet and therefore can't make accurate judgement for claims lacking a false claim.
The Seer should try to look Human and have strong reads (and should especially push Red seerings). Guardian should try to block a wolfing and confirm a Human (at that point, we can try to start an alliance). Vigi, we can either have act independently or have vigis made by public vote, if we vigi at all that is.
I strongly disagree with you Mashi, and I would make a post discussing all off the points you made in your last post, but it's very late here so I am not capable of making such a post at this time.
I suggest the guardian decides for him/herself if he/she wants to claim or not. If we want to set up an alliance, we should try to do that fast.
Mashi acting like bird ftw
Current thoughts on the game: I'm not removing my vote on brawler...
Quote from: BlackDragonSlayer on July 05, 2015, 06:21:11 PMWell, I can't say that's entirely unexpected. However, I also have to say that I believe that was a half-hearted attempt to incriminate Nocturne, as Fank apparently wanted Nocturne vigi'd. Nonetheless, this does not clear Nocturne either.
Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 05, 2015, 06:42:43 PMI was under the impression that fank was joking about Nocturne. Or he was a wolf-monger. It was too soon to tell.
I, personally, believe that a strong tactic for the wolves is to remain inactive throughout the game, remaining out of the spotlight. With that in mind, I vote that we lynch either Bubbles, davy, Jub3r7, or Toby. It's Day 1. On what else can we base our accusation?
For the four of you, I suggest that you speak now or forever hold your peace. :)
Besides, do we really want inactive players in the late game? :P
Brawler says this after that.
BDS is actually a pretty good day 1 hit considering 2 things he said jump out as suspicious. Plus, with the chat logs, it doesn't seem much of a stretch for them to be partners.
Quote from: BlackDragonSlayer on July 05, 2015, 06:46:34 PMNo, we do not (it's very easy as a wolf to take advantage of people who don't vote to push a lynch that would otherwise not go through were more active players). If we don't have anybody else to lynch, that might be our best option.
Oh look they agree on a bad tactic
Quote from: BlackDragonSlayer on July 05, 2015, 08:09:53 PMHe probably wanted Nocturne vigi'd Night 2, then.
Brawler even says nothing about BDS is suspicious:
Brawler4Ever i personally don't see anything
Brawler4Ever lol
(from mashi/brawler chat log numero uno)
@davy
an alliance in this particular scenario really doesn't accomplish much because from my experience even if the wolves don't counterclaim the guardian will die making it 2 alliance members to 3 wolves.
also, given the startling lack of suspicion on me at this point the guardian should at least consider me as their target for tonight seeing as I'm almost always day 1 fodder, and if not, well...
I have a bad feeling about this potential alliance. Mashi made some pretty solid points.
A wolf could easily counterclaim seer, and possibly vigi, because the phase change posts do not say whether someone was dead by wolfing or vigi. Additionally, it might be possible for a wolf to masquerade as a seer due to the fact that they have access to the wolf painter. Not to mention there is a wolf seer too. There are just so many ways for it to go wrong. Is it really worth the guardian for this?
Quote from: FireArrow on July 06, 2015, 03:06:06 AMI'd prefer a BDS lynch as of right now, he makes a great day 1 lynch because:
-Wolfy behavior
ಠ_ಠAm I being too speculative for you all again?
Quote-He generally acts extremely wolfy and always ends up getting lynched mid/late game, so if he is a human mislynching him now than inevitably doing so at a more critical time.
have you forgotten that there is a vigi

First of all, the "lol" was in reference to Mashi's comment, "I asked you first!!!" I feel that that could very well be taken out of context. I honestly don't know why you included that here.
Second, he was asking me my opinion on BDS. At the time, I saw nothing wrong with his comment. Bubbles came to the same conclusion later; wolfing fank would increase the chance of people leaning toward lynching you, Nocturne. They would see fank's wolfing as a preemptive strike to stop them from focusing on you, thus allowing you (the wolf, presumably) to get out of the spotlight. Or, if you're not a wolf, we would make you a scapegoat and call for your lynching because fank knew "something" about you that led to his suspicions.
The thing that I have against this whole scenerio is that we have no idea why fank wanted you vigi'ed, Nocturne. I believe, as I've stated before, that it was a joke, like you being Psychic. What information could he possibly have on you that would cause him to
sincerely believe that you were a wolf?
I stick with what I said before. I see nothing wrong with BDS's comment. It was worded weirdly, but it was not, in my opinion, a huge concern.
Quote from: davy on July 06, 2015, 03:05:00 PMI strongly disagree with you Mashi, and I would make a post discussing all off the points you made in your last post, but it's very late here so I am not capable of making such a post at this time.

Huh? Mostly everything I stated in the post was factual! When you're back up, what do you disagree with?
I think NocturneOfShadow's being contributive early on is a good sign and I'm willing to give him a Human lean for it, but it's anomalous behaviour regardless.
Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 06, 2015, 04:09:48 PMWhy is lynching inactive players a bad tactic?
Well, for one thing, people shouldn't be inactive in the first place! For another, lynching an inactive is an easy scapegoat for a Wolf to make if one of his/her Partners is gaining suspicion. So ideally, people should be voting for whom they suspect most.
NocturneOfShadows, I believe that you are a wolf.
fank was wolfed after accusing you. I believe this to be a very weak premise on which to base an accusation, so I'm not going to. It's everything after that with which I have a problem.
First, you accused me of being a wolf without reason. It was just "a good vote". I asked you, then, why? You blatantly ignored me. You gave no reason for me being a wolf until Mashi posted the chat log.
Then, you made your case; I was in league with BDS. BDS was trying to push blame on you so that you could wrongfully be lynched, and the wolves gain a greater lead. You're in opposition to this (not being a wolf, of course) but since I am a "partner" with BDS, you finally have a reason for your initial suspicion. You misquoted me so that I would look like I was laughing away any concern about BDS. You insisted that the idea of lynching inactives was "a bad tactic," but never explained why. It was just important to you that there was another connection between myself and BDS.
The problem with this is that you are twisting facts to suit theories, not creating theories to suit facts. In your mind, I am a wolf, and the reasons behind this suspicion can come later. This is manipulative. This is something a wolf would do.
So, Nocturne, I believe that you are a wolf.

17:10 Brawler4Ever hey
17:11 Mashi hello
17:11 Brawler4Ever what dose "Mashi acting like bird ftw" mean?
17:11 Brawler4Ever does*
17:12 Mashi Bird is one of our TWC Players.
17:12 Mashi And probably the best Player on NSM.
17:12 Brawler4Ever he doesn't like alliances or something? I'm not familiar with him
17:15 Mashi I think NocturneOfShadow was just referring to my analysis, but idk
17:15 Brawler4Ever im going to be completely honest, I think nocturne is a wolf
17:17 Mashi Why's that?
17:17 Brawler4Ever several reasons
17:17 Brawler4Ever first, he accused me without any reason
17:18 Brawler4Ever not a big deal
17:18 Brawler4Ever but then I asked him why
17:18 Brawler4Ever no reply
17:18 Brawler4Ever then you posted the chat log, and he made his case
17:18 Brawler4Ever apparently I'm in league with BDS, according to him
17:19 Brawler4Ever his argument against me was very manipulative, imo
17:19 Mashi Hmm.
17:19 Mashi You should pressure him in the topic!
17:19 Brawler4Ever i did
17:20 Brawler4Ever it's right above your latest post
17:20 Mashi That felt to me more that you were defending yourself than anything.
17:20 Brawler4Ever ah
17:20 Mashi NocturneOfShadow probably doesn't feel threatened of being lynched or of gaining suspicion based on your remark.
17:20 Brawler4Ever you meant post what i just said in the topic
17:20 Mashi Yup!
17:21 Brawler4Ever i've been planning to
17:21 Brawler4Ever just organizing my thoughts
17:22 Brawler4Ever i'll do it sometime tonight
A huge overreaction just makes you look more suspicious...
I can't make well thought out posts on a phone, so too bad
I dunno, I have some bad feelings about Brawler4Ever. From my experience in the horribly inactive TWG LXXX: Avengers, the players with the most power are the most active, as they want a reason to use their power. I was Ultron and was looking for any chance to shift blame to someone else. Latios had a death-vigi and was pretty much tied with me for most vocal player. Brawler has been posting left and right to defend himself or attack someone, and I'm interpreting it as an anxiousness to use whatever powers he has and soon. I felt the same way.
I need to read through these logs and the thread again, but from what I see it does look like Brawler is overreacting a bit to the whole Fank-Noc thing, so I'll place a tentative vote on him.
Brawler4Ever
(At least, until I get to sit down and form a better opinion and suspicion list, in which case I may change my vote.)
Nocturne's behavior now is really similar to when he was the traitor awhile back, not sure how'd that translate to roles in this game. I really don't find Brawler that suspicious, given that hyperactivity really isn't wolfy day 1. His reaction to Noc incriminating him however is kinda concerning.
That is quite a bit of text. I'm not quite going to vote him solely on that, though. Hmm....
What do you guys think about a Latios212 lynch? He's making very empty contributions yet is obviously active.
While I think Brawler4Ever may have been a bit overdefensive regarding NocturneOfShadow's suspicion of him, I don't think his pressure post is anything incriminating; I explicitly told him to make one to push his suspicion. I'm surprised by the backlash; Brawler4Ever has been giving me the impression that he seems Human. He's been appearing in the chat regularly and is all the willing to discuss the game. His points regarding NocturneOfShadow aren't so bad either, in my opinion.

Where has Brawler4Ever been posting to defend himself and attack others? His two most recent posts are the only examples I've seen where he's posted a major defense and accusation, and the latter was instigated by me.
Why would Brawler4Ever be anxious to use powers? He's going to be able to use his powers, if he has any, regardless of who dies so long as it's not himself. You also realise that half the Players with powers are Humans, correct?
Hey I'm trying to collect my thoughts, if you want to confront me, I'm in the chat room
I'm not feeling an alliance, because honestly what's the point? It'd be too difficult to set up with counterclaims and wolf painters/shamans, and a two person alliance with the sacrifice of the guardian just doesn't seem worth it to me. The vigi shouldn't be taking risky enough shots to hit the seer anyway.

Wait, isn't this a semi-reason
not to lynch him? That's a 50/50 shot he's a human with a special power, not only a wolf. The only wolf role I could see being anxious to use their power would be Xerosic, while all of the special human roles would feel pressured because they don't know their partners.

This isn't what I meant, but I probably worded my post weirdly. I saw fank's wolfing as a wolf attempt to make people look at Noc, but not one that would actually be followed through with suspicions on him. After a player calls someone out specifically and is then wolfed, of course everyone is going to look at the player they targeted. Not only does this put the spotlight on Noc, but it takes it off of other players. Honestly I'm thankful to the wolves for picking fank because it led to some actual conversation on Day 1, regardless of how useful the information actually is.
tldr: Fank's wolfing should not make Noc suspicious

Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 04, 2015, 03:03:09 PMHey guys, what's the link for the IRC?

I mentioned this in the chat, but to reiterate, I don't like BlackDragonSlayer's mentioning the wolfing not being unexpected. Nor do I like his stating the obvious, but it was only a minor suspicion of him and he's responded to my vote with relative ease and coolness.
Quote from: davy on July 06, 2015, 09:53:06 AMHey look guys, I'm not completely inactive this game!
Currently chatting with Brawler, chatlog will follow soon.
Anyway, I've just noticed this part of jub's post:
This implies he is thinking of lynching Mashi. Jub, I'd like to hear your reasoning for wanting to lynch Mashi.
I like davy's meticulousness and probing Jub3r7 for his opinion on me. It's not something I wouldn't expect him to do as a Wolf, but it's a small point his humanity's favor for me.
Quote from: davy on July 06, 2015, 10:18:23 AMSo, Alliance strategy. The guardian should claim so that the Seer and the Vigi can claim to him. The guardian will most likely get wolf'd the next night phase, but with all the wolf powers that would block him anyway, I'd say that isn't too much of a big deal. The seer and the vigi will form an alliance without claiming to the topic. This ensures they won't hit the same target the same night phase. Also, if the seer gets a red result that player doesn't have to reveal himself to the topic, because the vigi can just take that player out the next night phase.
While I disagree with starting an alliance, I find his suggesting we do so to be Human. From his next response disagreeing with my view on beginning an alliance, he seems to sincerely believe that an alliance would help the Humans. However, I don't think he would have made the suggestion in the middle of the Day Phase as a Wolf for Human points.

I dislike this post. Your first post of substance is latching onto NocturneOfShadow's suspicion and for non-concrete reasoning. As Bubbles and I mentioned, based on your reasoning, doesn't Brawler4Ever have a 50% chance of being a Special Role? Further, why do you believe that only Players with powers will be very active? Further still, you exaggerate Brawler4Ever's defenses and accusations, when he's only made one of each this game.
Do you have any other suspicions,
Dudeman? Or anyone you feel is Human?
FireArrow. I don't like how easily he hopped on Mashi's vote for me, specifically quoted below.
Quote from: FireArrow on July 06, 2015, 03:06:06 AMRight now my biggest suspicion is BDS. His analysis of the wolfing seems more like something a wolf would say to look like a human then something a human would say to genuinely make insight. Mashi is a close second because his behavior mimics that of a game I played as his wolf partner over at LLF (aggressive start to day 1 then mellows out into discussion about activity.)
I'd prefer a BDS lynch as of right now, he makes a great day 1 lynch because:
-Wolfy behavior
-He generally acts extremely wolfy and always ends up getting lynched mid/late game, so if he is a human mislynching him now than inevitably doing so at a more critical time.
This- or at the very least the way it is worded- makes it seem like he's going for an easy lynch rather than one strictly good (one of his selling points for the lynch is that I'm probably going to be lynched later anyway, so if I'm a human, I should be lynched now), however, unlike Brawler's post, this post does not come across as one with good intentions.
Quote from: Mashi on July 06, 2015, 02:18:46 PMAn alliance is unnecessary and wouldn't amount to much.
Quote from: Bubbles on July 06, 2015, 09:01:50 PMI'm not feeling an alliance, because honestly what's the point?
You already know I disagree with you on this point and I explained it earlier already.
Quote from: Mashi on July 06, 2015, 02:18:46 PMFirstly, because this isn't an alliance game.
If games are not designed to be alliance games, that doesn't mean alliances can't be helpful (just think of Sauce is Pretty Coll). This point alone doesn't mean much.
Quote from: Mashi on July 06, 2015, 02:18:46 PMSecondly, because even if we had a Role like the Guardian claim, any of the Wolves could counterclaim (e.g. Seer, for example) and force us to lose both a Guardian and a Seer.
Quote from: Bubbles on July 06, 2015, 09:01:50 PMIt'd be too difficult to set up with counterclaims and wolf painters/shamans,
In that case, we will also kill a wolf, which means the number of mislynches we can make will increase from 3 to 4 and the number of correct lynches we have to make will decrease from 3 to 2, putting the wolves, who already have a disadvantage in numbers this game, on an even bigger disadvantage. Personally, I don't think the wolves will take that risk, especially considering fake claiming is something not to often done on this forum (outside from a certain few members).
Quote from: Mashi on July 06, 2015, 02:18:46 PMThirdly, alliances kill activity, so I would rather just not force one to happen in a game obviously designed to prevent them from forming easily.
I have the complete oposite experience with alliances regarding activity. Looking at the most active games by number of posts, the number one was a game that got so active because everyone was discussing wether the alliance was infiltrated or not. The top three most active games all had alliances, and 10 out of the top 16 (first page) games had them. Also, in all but one of the other 7 games alliances were completely impossible to form because either specials didn't know their role, or because there were no specials.
Quote from: Mashi on July 06, 2015, 02:18:46 PMIn this type of game, claims should be trusted based on whether you trust the Player, anyway. Since there's no cardflip and it's difficult to establish an alliance, we won't know if a Special Role has been killed yet and therefore can't make accurate judgement for claims lacking a false claim.
Yes, unfortunately, there is already a dead player. However, if Fank was a special, the wolves won't know that either, and they have to risk losing one of their member which means they will be at a disadvantage.
Quote from: Mashi on July 06, 2015, 02:18:46 PMThe Seer should try to look Human and have strong reads (and should especially push Red seerings).
But even if the seer finds any reds, that player won't have any way of sharing it without sacrificing himself, which would be the same as when the seer would be counterclaimed. And I don't know about you, but I don't trust our seer to be able to create the lynch on the seer'd player other than sharing the result. If we want the seer to be of any use, that player must have a way to get the seer'd role killed, therefore we need an alliance.
Quote from: Mashi on July 06, 2015, 02:18:46 PMGuardian should try to block a wolfing and confirm a Human (at that point, we can try to start an alliance).
I am not actually willing to depend on this. The chance of the guardian blocking a wolfing is much smaller than the chance of the guardian dying. I'd rather be sure the guardian is useful before that player dies (by setting up the alliance), that have a very small chance the guardian is useful and a big chance that that player dies before he/she can be useful.
Quote from: Bubbles on July 06, 2015, 09:01:50 PMand a two person alliance with the sacrifice of the guardian just doesn't seem worth it to me.
The guardian, who is pretty much a normal human that knows his role due to the sheer ammount of powers that get past guarding, the fact that the guardian can't self-guard and the fact that the only way the guardian becomes useful without sacrificing himself is if that player is lucky enough to hit the same player as the player that would be wolfed, seems like a pretty good sacrifice to me for creating an alliance.
Quote from: Mashi on July 06, 2015, 02:18:46 PMVigi, we can either have act independently or have vigis made by public vote, if we vigi at all that is.
If we vigi without alliance, we risk the vigi killing the seer (or the guardian). If we don't vigi, we lose additional mislynches (which is essentially what the vigi creates). If we vigi with an alliance we don't risk the vigi killing the seer and we won't lose our additional mislynches.
Quote from: Bubbles on July 06, 2015, 09:01:50 PMThe vigi shouldn't be taking risky enough shots to hit the seer anyway.
If the vigi doesn't know who the seer is, any shot he takes risks hitting the seer. If you mean that he should not take any shot out of risking hitting the seer, than we lose additional mislynches.
On the subject of alliances:
davy and I discussed possible setbacks, but decided not to share them, so that we wouldn't give the wolves a weapon to use in the future. But it's relevant to the current discussion, and since Mashi already posted the question that we had, I don't see any point in not posting it now.
The Remainder of our Chat Log
10:04 Brawler4Ever i like the idea of an alliance, but i would think of a few ways that it could backfire
10:04 davy Please enlighten me
10:04 Brawler4Ever blues couldn't use their powers on night 1 anyway
10:04 davy Yeah, but if fank was a blue that would suck.
10:04 Brawler4Ever what if a wolf comes to the guardian as a seer? at the same time as the real seer?
10:05 Brawler4Ever i've done it before
10:05 Brawler4Ever it didn't work, but i was too late in my game
10:05 davy Then the guardian can reveal both names and we can be sure one of them is a wolf.
10:05 Brawler4Ever lose the seer, gain a wolf
10:05 davy The wolves are far outnumbered in this game, so losing one of their members really hurts
10:05 Brawler4Ever yeah, that's true
10:05 Brawler4Ever hadn't thought of that
10:06 Brawler4Ever how about this?
10:06 Brawler4Ever we ask the guardian to come up, and a wolf comes up instead?
10:07 Brawler4Ever nvm
10:07 davy That's even better, we'd lose the guardian either way and we lynch a wolf at the cost of not having an alliance
10:07 Brawler4Ever the seer could see the wolf on night 2
10:07 Brawler4Ever if the guardian reveals him/herself in this day
10:07 davy By the time the seer sees that the true guardian is already dead.
10:08 davy So the seer won't get a chance to claim to that person.
10:08 Brawler4Ever but so will the wolf, as you said
10:08 Brawler4Ever i mean if both come out
10:08 Brawler4Ever a wolf, and the real guardian
10:08 davy Like I said, if a wolf counterclaims that wolf is dead, but we won't have an alliance.
10:08 Brawler4Ever worth it
10:09 davy If no wolf counterclaims, all wolfs will stay alive and we will have an alliance.
10:09 Brawler4Ever i like the idea
10:09 Brawler4Ever i can't think of anything else that could go wrong with it
10:09 Brawler4Ever can you?
10:10 davy Fank being one of the blues.
10:10 davy That's something that can go wrong.
10:10 Brawler4Ever lol
10:10 davy But at this point, I think it is a risk we should take.
10:10 Brawler4Ever 1/12 chance
10:10 davy Actually 3/12
10:10 davy there are 3 specials.
10:10 Brawler4Ever true
10:10 Brawler4Ever i was thinking of fank being the guardian, specifically
10:11 Brawler4Ever yeah, 3/12
10:11 davy Don't give the wolves any ideas.
10:11 Brawler4Ever i say we don't post this part of the chat log
10:11 davy Ok.
10:12 davy Then I'll post the log minus the last part, explain the strategy and then grab some food.
10:12 Brawler4Ever if you stop at your first comment at 10:04, it should be good
10:12 Brawler4Ever "Damn, why didn't I think of this yesterday?"
10:12 Brawler4Ever if you stop there, no harm should be done
10:13 Brawler4Ever you'll post it?
10:13 davy Yeah I will.
10:13 Brawler4Ever sweeet
10:13 davy I will also add the first part of your next post: 19:04 Brawler4Ever i like the idea of an alliance
10:14 Brawler4Ever lol our times are different
10:14 Brawler4Ever forgot about that! xD
10:18 davy Chatlog posted, going to eat. See you.
10:21 Brawler4Ever cya
The conclusion to which we came is that, best case scenerio: we lose the Guardian (which can't be stopped because of the Flare Gun thing) but the Seer and Vigi can work together, in secret, vigi'ing wolves as they come along. They never have to go public in the forum, so they're at the same chance of being wolfed as any other human. This would give the humans a significant lead.
Mashi's point was "what happens in the event of a counter-claim by a wolf?" What if a wolf counter-claims Seer? We would lose 2 blues for one wolf, at best. My question is: is there any way around this? Or, another question, is it worth it?
As far as worth goes, the numbers don't add up. Let's say that there's 9 players, 3 are wolves, 3 are blues, 3 are human. That's 1/3 of the population as wolf. If we kill off 2 blues and 1 wolf, we get: 6 players, 2 are wolves, 1 is blue, and 3 are human. It's still a 1/3 chance, but the ratio of wolves:blues is now 2:1 instead of 1:1.
So. Im going to ask again, is there any way around this?
On the subject of overreacting:
Nothing in my case against Nocturne has anything to do with fank. I had hoped that I made that perfectly clear. Apparently not, but whatever.
My case against Nocturne has nothing to do with fank.

Please do. It's literally the only thing that I've asked of you from the beginning.

Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 05, 2015, 09:31:15 PMNocturne, just out of curiosity, what makes me a good vote?
Keep in mind that the chance of the vigi hitting the seer is pretty close to the same as a guardian blocking a wolfing. But again, each blue power is countered by a wolf power. Two blues for a wolf would hurt us, especially if the wolves hit the vigi, but it may be worth it, due to the sheer am.ount of humans in the game. It's a risky call. I'm not sure whether I'm for or against it.
The individual wolf powers are essentially useless without a special human to use them on, so I can see why you think risking all the specials would be worth it. If all special humans die (or are discovered by the wolves, aka eventual death) that turns this game into a manhunt with a single wolf instakill, which I'm not interested in creating.
I keep reading all these posts but I'm not getting any closer to deciding who to vote for. :|
Idk where the hell Toby is so why not.

Votes for lynching:
Brawler4Ever: 3 (Nocturne, Olimar, and Dudeman)
Nocturne: 3 (Brawler4Ever, BDS, Jub)
Dudeman: 1 (Mashi)
Latios: 1 (FireArrow)
FireArrow: 1 (BDS)
Toby: 1 (Dude)
I believe this to be accurate. However, it's about 5 pages of text to go through, and several people have changed their votes. :P
Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 06, 2015, 04:09:48 PMWhy is lynching inactive players a bad tactic?
First of all, the "lol" was in reference to Mashi's comment, "I asked you first!!!" I feel that that could very well be taken out of context. I honestly don't know why you included that here.
Second, he was asking me my opinion on BDS. At the time, I saw nothing wrong with his comment. Bubbles came to the same conclusion later; wolfing fank would increase the chance of people leaning toward lynching you, Nocturne. They would see fank's wolfing as a preemptive strike to stop them from focusing on you, thus allowing you (the wolf, presumably) to get out of the spotlight. Or, if you're not a wolf, we would make you a scapegoat and call for your lynching because fank knew "something" about you that led to his suspicions.
The thing that I have against this whole scenerio is that we have no idea why fank wanted you vigi'ed, Nocturne. I believe, as I've stated before, that it was a joke, like you being Psychic. What information could he possibly have on you that would cause him to sincerely believe that you were a wolf?
I stick with what I said before. I see nothing wrong with BDS's comment. It was worded weirdly, but it was not, in my opinion, a huge concern.
lynching inactives has always been a bad tactic. There's also no way that statement could be taken out of context because mashi asks what you think of BDS's statement and you literally said exactly that.
Nobody cares about fank's suspicion of me. Bringing it up just seems like you trying to throw the floodlights in my direction.
Yeah so you keep saying why does everyone talk about that when you're the only one talking about fank x noc?
Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 06, 2015, 05:47:15 PMNocturneOfShadows, I believe that you are a wolf.
fank was wolfed after accusing you. I believe this to be a very weak premise on which to base an accusation, so I'm not going to. It's everything after that with which I have a problem.
First, you accused me of being a wolf without reason. It was just "a good vote". I asked you, then, why? You blatantly ignored me. You gave no reason for me being a wolf until Mashi posted the chat log.
Then, you made your case; I was in league with BDS. BDS was trying to push blame on you so that you could wrongfully be lynched, and the wolves gain a greater lead. You're in opposition to this (not being a wolf, of course) but since I am a "partner" with BDS, you finally have a reason for your initial suspicion. You misquoted me so that I would look like I was laughing away any concern about BDS. You insisted that the idea of lynching inactives was "a bad tactic," but never explained why. It was just important to you that there was another connection between myself and BDS.
The problem with this is that you are twisting facts to suit theories, not creating theories to suit facts. In your mind, I am a wolf, and the reasons behind this suspicion can come later. This is manipulative. This is something a wolf would do.
So, Nocturne, I believe that you are a wolf.

17:10 Brawler4Ever hey
17:11 Mashi hello
17:11 Brawler4Ever what dose "Mashi acting like bird ftw" mean?
17:11 Brawler4Ever does*
17:12 Mashi Bird is one of our TWC Players.
17:12 Mashi And probably the best Player on NSM.
17:12 Brawler4Ever he doesn't like alliances or something? I'm not familiar with him
17:15 Mashi I think NocturneOfShadow was just referring to my analysis, but idk
17:15 Brawler4Ever im going to be completely honest, I think nocturne is a wolf
17:17 Mashi Why's that?
17:17 Brawler4Ever several reasons
17:17 Brawler4Ever first, he accused me without any reason
17:18 Brawler4Ever not a big deal
17:18 Brawler4Ever but then I asked him why
17:18 Brawler4Ever no reply
17:18 Brawler4Ever then you posted the chat log, and he made his case
17:18 Brawler4Ever apparently I'm in league with BDS, according to him
17:19 Brawler4Ever his argument against me was very manipulative, imo
17:19 Mashi Hmm.
17:19 Mashi You should pressure him in the topic!
17:19 Brawler4Ever i did
17:20 Brawler4Ever it's right above your latest post
17:20 Mashi That felt to me more that you were defending yourself than anything.
17:20 Brawler4Ever ah
17:20 Mashi NocturneOfShadow probably doesn't feel threatened of being lynched or of gaining suspicion based on your remark.
17:20 Brawler4Ever you meant post what i just said in the topic
17:20 Mashi Yup!
17:21 Brawler4Ever i've been planning to
17:21 Brawler4Ever just organizing my thoughts
17:22 Brawler4Ever i'll do it sometime tonight
1. Accused of being a wolf without reason: false! I had reasons! I explained them!
2. "You blatantly ignored me"- No. I can't make posts like this on a phone. It has nothing to do with ignoring you.
3. I'm not saying you're partners with BDS, I'm saying one of you two being a wolf makes the other more likely to be a wolf instead of less likely.
4. "You misquoted me" No, misquoting implies I altered what you said. I did not. To be honest you're overthinking this part.
5. I didn't think you were a wolf for no reason, so this amazing thesis conclusion is all fluff.
bonus- These extreme overreactions of yours aren't good for your street cred, if you know what I mean. Although the fact that Olimar agrees with me makes me a little nervous
EDIT:

Dude, you are seriously going crazy. If this sort of thing doesn't tell you guys that Brawler is acting wolfy I don't know what would
Might also throw in that he voted for me afterwards which when combined with the fact that none of his defense amounts to anything means it's just a revenge vote
Nocturne
I wasn't convinced in the case made agianst you, and I would have voted Dudeman if it wasn't for your seccond to last post. I feel like you are desperately trying to shift the lynch on Brawler, while the case against him, overreacting for your vote on him, isn't that strong. Your behaviour this game reminds me of the time that we were wolves together (TWG 77) which is also a reason for me to vote you. Finally I currently feel more sure about Brawler being human than any other player (besides myself), and he has been helpful in both his posts and for keeping the game active, so yes, this vote is also to save Brawler from being lynched.
It seems like the topic doesn't like the idea of forming alliances. I applaud the amount of trust you put in our specials and I sincerely hope it doesn't backfire. For the time being however, I will still try to get my plan through.
Guardian, if you plan on or are thinking about claiming please do so no later than at the very beginning of the night phase.
In chat
Also in chat. If you are available, it would be helpful to show up during this time.

Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on July 07, 2015, 02:40:44 PM1. Accused of being a wolf without reason: false! I had reasons! I explained them!
I meant at the time that you voted for me. All of your reasoning stemmed from A) me siding with BDS, and B) my conversation with Mashi. So I stick with what i said in my accusation against you in this regard. You wanted proof, you created proof.
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on July 07, 2015, 02:40:44 PM2. "You blatantly ignored me"- No. I can't make posts like this on a phone. It has nothing to do with ignoring you.
Alright. I can accept that.

Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on July 06, 2015, 03:10:07 PMBDS is actually a pretty good day 1 hit considering 2 things he said jump out as suspicious. Plus, with the chat logs, it doesn't seem much of a stretch for them to be partners.
Oh look they agree on a bad tacticBrawler even says nothing about BDS is suspicious:
Brawler4Ever i personally don't see anything
Brawler4Ever lol
(from mashi/brawler chat log numero uno)
The only reason that BDS has even been considered a wolf is because of his one post regarding fank not being "entirely unexpected." Your initial case against me was that I was a partner with BDS in going after you. So, unlike what you just said, fank's comment from forever ago is still relevant in this discussion. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's pivotal in your initial accusation.
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on July 07, 2015, 02:40:44 PM4. "You misquoted me" No, misquoting implies I altered what you said. I did not. To be honest you're overthinking this part.
To be fair, I probably am overthinking it. You did, as you said,
not alter my quote. It just seemed strange to me that you would add the "lol" when my comment "i personally don't see anything" would have sufficed. It seemed, from my point of view, that you were making me intentionally making light of BDS's comment, so that I would be, in effect, defending him. Working in tandem with your other comment that we were partners, I believed it to be a manipulative argument, as I said in my initial accusation.

I don't deny that I've been letting my emotions get the better of me in my last few posts (those made today, specifically). Olimar's comment has me on edge as well, simply because of his reasoning.
Quote from: Olimar12345 on July 06, 2015, 08:34:28 PMI need to read through these logs and the thread again, but from what I see it does look like Brawler is overreacting a bit to the whole Fank-Noc thing, so I'll place a tentative vote on him.
Brawler4Ever
(At least, until I get to sit down and form a better opinion and suspicion list, in which case I may change my vote.)
As you can see, Olimar believes that my case against you is in reference to "Fank-Noc," which it isn't. So yes, I am overreacting, and I am sorry about that. :-\
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on July 07, 2015, 02:45:40 PMMight also throw in that he voted for me afterwards which when combined with the fact that none of his defense amounts to anything means it's just a revenge vote
This statement is, by far, the worst defense that I have ever seen. My accusation towards you came
way after you initially voted for me. It even came after you explained your accusation against me. I answered your accusation with my own reasoning. Then, after giving some thought to the apparent fallacies in your logic and the tone of your accusation, I came to believe that you were purposefully shifting blame on me so that I could be wrongfully be lynched. But if you think that this is all revenge, you are at complete liberty to believe that.
To be fair, I have much more free time right now than others. So in regard to you "ignoring me," and to Olimar reading out TWG at a later time, I'm sorry. It's really not fair of me to expect others to be as proactive with this game when they have actual stuff to do other than sit around and play games on the Internet.
I'm sorry about that. :-\
Dudeman, I'll give you 10 minutes to make that post that you were going to make, or I will probably switch my vote to you before going to sleep and not being on anymore untill the end of the day phase.
Okay, Mashi and Bubbles. You guys were right. I should have familiarized myself with the role list more and clarified my reasoning a bit better. Let's try posting again, and hopefully I'll make sense this time.
When it comes to TWG, posts and votes are very emotionally charged for the poster and the accused. No one wants to be made out to be the bad guy, and any implications made are going to be refuted hard and fast. Yes, there is logical reasoning that happens behind the process, but the logic is still spun to be in favor of the person who is arguing. This is normal. Players who feel victimized will give very emotional arguments, especially if they have a role that carries a lot of weight. A wolf, for example. Yes, a normal human can still get up in arms about an accusation against them, but I find the backlash will be stronger when the person accused wants to stay alive because they have part of the game they can control.
So let's look at Brawler and Noc, our two toss-up votes and most vocal players currently. BDS implies that Fank's death incriminates Noc. Brawler disagrees, but wants to lynch inactives, saying it's a "wolf-like quality." Brief discussion on Fank's intentions, then Noc votes Brawler but can't explain because he's on his phone. Jub votes Noc. Brawler questions Noc's vote. The Brawler-Mashi chat occurs. Noc shows up to say he suspects BDS but not Mashi. Alliance discussion. Noc shows up to defend his vote on Brawler: he said to lynch inactives after BDS's post about Fank's death, their agreement on inactive lynching might put them in cahoots, and in the chat Brawler didn't see anything suspicious in BDS. Brawler asks why inactive lynching is a bad tactic and contends that BDS's comment means nothing, as Fank knew nothing.
Here's where things start to get hectic: Brawler votes Noc based on two things:
- Noc's initial vote had no reasoning behind it, and
- Noc accused him of being in league with BDS.
Noc calls these reasons a "huge overreaction." It's at this point that I vote on Brawler. Now, I'll admit that the vote was based mostly on activity. Brawler was posting quite a bit and using good reasoning to attack Noc. At the (admittedly very high) risk of sounding suuuuuuper hypocritical here, I thought of this as wolfy, as that's how I did things in the last TWG. With only one game under my belt, I jumped to the conclusion that all wolves used this tactic and based my vote on that, using the word "powers" where I should have said "activity and control." Olimar casts a tentative vote Brawler saying that he thinks he is overreacting to the Fank-Noc implication. FireArrow says hyperactivity isn't very wolfy day 1. Then Mashi attacks my vote on the basis that Brawler hasn't been posting to primarily defend himself and/or attack others. Bubbles refutes my post on the powers thing. Noc promises to refute Brawler's claims in the near future. Then comes Mashi's vote on me for the powers thing again. Then comes some more discussion on the alliance. Brawler shows good interest in seeing Noc's claims against him.
Okay, here we go: Noc's defense on himself. 5 reasons here:
- Noc did explain his reasoning earlier.
- Noc was not ignoring Brawler intentionally.
- BDS and Brawler are not necessarily aligned, but one being a wolf more likely makes the other a wolf.
- Noc did not misquote Brawler because he did not alter what Brawler said.
- Reiterates that he did not vote without reason.
- Brawler's vote could be a revenge vote.
And Brawler responds to each of Noc's points in turn. Now, Brawler is taking things very logically and admitting when he makes a mistake. Honesty is good and denotes human-like qualities, but his repeated mention of the Fank-Noc implication when he repeatedly says it's not influencing him is very strange. However, Noc's reasoning is rather shallow, he makes accusations with shaky backup, and he spends most of his time defending himself and laughing at Brawler's "attempts" at defending
himself. Noc is wolfy. Brawler is wolfy. Only one can be a wolf.
And I think it's
NocturneOfShadow.
Yes, I'm changing my vote now that I've looked through the thread again. They may both be acting wolf-like, but Noc's wolf-like tendencies are more suspicious than Brawler's.
Also going to end by saying that I have some pretty high suspicions on Mashi as well, but I'll wait until Day 2 to look into it.
ninja'd by davy just in time
Lol I I'll take my day 1 as per usual
Wp brawler
Nice work Dudeman, that was the kind of post I was looking for.
So yeah, I'll keep my vote on
Nocturne.
BDS, Brawler and I were discussing the possibility of hitting two suspicious players before the fist wolfing by using the power of the vigi. Our idea was to lynch Dudeman and let the vigi kill Nocturne, but after Dudeman's most recent post, I'm not willing to kill him anymore. I do think however that we should vigi someone next night phase. We have and additional 24 hours to discuss that however, so I'm not to worried about that atm.
(I lost a bit of the chatlog because it was too long, sorry).
chatlog
00:56 BlackDragonSlayer Having players who remain inactive throughout the game is detrimental, especially late in the game, when wolves can easily take advantage of the lack of votes to push a lynch that wouldn't normally go through.
00:56 davy And the same isn't true for you because...?
00:56 BlackDragonSlayer Whereas lynching a player because they're probably going to be lynched anyway is not only lazy, but also unhelpful because there are other ways to determine alignment.
00:57 BlackDragonSlayer Especially when you insinuate that that person is possibly a human either way.
00:58 davy Lynching inactives is also lazy, there are also other ways to determine alignment and that player is possible a human as well.
00:58 BlackDragonSlayer But they're not going to be active either way.
00:58 davy You can never be sure about that.
00:59 davy And most importantly, he changed his vote to a better grounded one, so his bad lynching reason is not of present concern anyway.
01:00 BlackDragonSlayer "You can never be sure about that." For the most part, yes.
01:00 BlackDragonSlayer "And most importantly, he changed his vote to a better grounded one, so his bad lynching reason is not of present concern anyway." It still happened either way.
01:00 *** Brawler4Ever joined #TWG
01:00 davy Hi there
01:00 Brawler4Ever hey
01:01 davy We're currently discussing BDS's vote.
01:01 Brawler4Ever ok
01:01 Brawler4Ever it's currently against firearrow, correct?
01:01 davy Yes.
01:01 Brawler4Ever i just saw your post. i miscounted lol.
01:02 davy For the reason why he went for BDS.
01:02 Brawler4Ever who went for BDS? FireArrow?
01:02 davy And I'm like, it was an early day one vote, which are often not very well thought out, and he changed his vote to a better one later anyway
01:02 davy Yes, FA
01:03 Brawler4Ever ok I see
01:03 Brawler4Ever I see your point, BDS
01:03 davy "one of (BDS)'s selling points for the lynch is that he's probably going to be lynched later anyway, so if he's a human, he should be lynched now"
01:04 BlackDragonSlayer It seemed to me like he would have kept his vote had the lynched picked up more traction, though.
01:04 BlackDragonSlayer "one of (BDS)'s selling points for the lynch is that he's probably going to be lynched later anyway, so if he's a human, he should be lynched now" FireArrow's, actually.
01:04 Brawler4Ever it sounds like he was trying to build up the anti-BDS bandwagon
01:04 Brawler4Ever yeah, I got that
01:04 Brawler4Ever nvm i don't have it
01:05 Brawler4Ever who's saying that? I'm looking for it in the forum
01:06 davy I just think you are overanalysing his vote, but I do understeand now why you vote for him. Thanks for explaining.
01:06 BlackDragonSlayer Also, about the inactives thing, keep in mind the ending of TWG 65.
01:07 Brawler4Ever i wasn't there for TWG 65. Should I look it up?
01:07 davy However, it seems like the lynch is going to be decided between Brawler and NoS.
01:07 BlackDragonSlayer That's one of the games I was referring to.
01:07 BlackDragonSlayer http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=6176.msg243345#msg243345
01:07 davy Also, about BDS thing, keep in mind the entirety of TWG 55
01:07 Brawler4Ever lol
01:07 Brawler4Ever so much history
01:07 BlackDragonSlayer Basically I left Wolf alive on the chance that he'd actually go for the illogical lynch.
01:07 davy And a bunch of other games.
01:07 Brawler4Ever I need to catch up on my reading
01:08 davy But back on topic, are you (BDS) comfortable with keeping distance from the NoS/Brawler debate, and if not, who would you rather have dying today?
01:09 Brawler4Ever should I leave the room?
01:09 davy No, please stay. The more chatters the bigger the chat party.
01:09 Brawler4Ever i mean for this specific discussion, lol
01:09 davy Also, BDS and I could discuss in private if we wanted to.
01:10 Brawler4Ever i would prefer that, for BDS's sake
01:10 BlackDragonSlayer 50/50 between them now. I think some of Nocturne's later actions are a bit strange.
01:10 davy And the 50 for Brawler because overreaction?
01:11 davy I don't mind you (Brawler) contributing to the discussion either.
01:11 Brawler4Ever it's not fair if nocturne isn't here to defend himself
01:11 Brawler4Ever any comment I make will invariably be trying to make BDS come to my side
01:12 davy That's his fault, not yours.
01:12 BlackDragonSlayer Mostly because I could potentially see him being a wolf in this situation also, as I mention in an earlier chat (with Mashi and Bubbles).
01:12 Brawler4Ever I don't believe that that creates a healthy community
01:12 Brawler4Ever btw, i posted a new counter to nocturne in the forum
01:12 BlackDragonSlayer I.e. He hasn't done anything to expressly make me believe he's human.
01:12 davy Brawler, we're killing eachother, and fighting for our lives, and you think this is a healthy community?
01:12 Brawler4Ever have i done anything to make me seem wolfish, other than defend myself?
01:13 BlackDragonSlayer Not expressly wolfish, either.
01:13 Brawler4Ever honor is the only thing that separates us from the wolves
01:13 Brawler4Ever or some such noble bullcrap whatever
01:13 davy Nope, number and knowledge are the only things that sperates us from the wolves
01:13 davy I often lie as a human.
01:13 Brawler4Ever my argument with nocturne came after he accused me
01:14 Brawler4Ever his accusation had absolutely no basis
01:14 Brawler4Ever everything came AFTER Mashi posted our chat log
01:14 Brawler4Ever with which I am perfectly fine
01:14 Brawler4Ever but NoS had no reason to suspect me of anything, unless he also suspects you, BDS
01:14 Brawler4Ever but he expressly denies that now
01:15 davy So BDS, if Brawler doesn't seem either wolfish or human, but Nocturne's later actions are strange, why is it a 50/50 instead of leading towards Noct?
01:15 BlackDragonSlayer I recall him saying that he did suspect me.
01:15 Brawler4Ever his only argument now is that I'm overreacting (which, to be honest, I am)
01:15 Brawler4Ever who suspected you? me?
01:15 Brawler4Ever of course I did
01:15 BlackDragonSlayer Nocturne.
01:15 Brawler4Ever you made a very strange comment
01:15 Brawler4Ever oh
01:16 Brawler4Ever pretty sure everybody suspected you, BDS xD
01:16 davy Brawler, do you have the mood swing curse? (see TWG 73)
01:16 Brawler4Ever nah
01:16 Brawler4Ever olimar's comment ticked me off
01:17 Brawler4Ever im not bipolar or anything
01:17 BlackDragonSlayer "if Brawler doesn't seem either wolfish or human, but Nocturne's later actions are strange, why is it a 50/50 instead of leading towards Noct?" Nocturne's earlier actions weren't (or rather, earlier actions involving Nocturne). There's always the possibility that Nocturne is just reacting strangely to the situation.
01:17 davy Ok, I understeand.
01:17 Brawler4Ever nocturne's actions we're what?
01:17 Brawler4Ever wolfish?
01:17 davy Is there any other player that you would consider lynching (besides FA)?
01:18 davy were strange
01:18 Brawler4Ever ok
01:18 Brawler4Ever if it weren't for NoS, I'd be voting for Toby with Dude
01:19 Brawler4Ever oh, bird is a member of this forum
01:19 Brawler4Ever i did not know that
01:19 BlackDragonSlayer At this point, aside from the people who have already been mentioned, I don't feel strongly suspicious about anybody in particular. However, I think Mashi is human at this point.
01:19 Brawler4Ever sorry, tangent
01:19 davy Why do you think that?
01:19 davy Mashi is the person I'm always least certain of his humanity
01:19 davy (together with bird and verm of course)
01:20 BlackDragonSlayer I was reading some older games on LLF, and Mashi was talking similarly in a few of those games towards me as he was in this game.
01:20 Brawler4Ever hahaha! i have no history! I am a closed book! muahahaha!
01:20 davy Towards you? In private, in the chat or in the topic?
01:20 davy You have a history of reviving the first wolf victim as soon as possible.
01:20 BlackDragonSlayer Just the way he was going about asking questions/interrogating me. In the chat. Bubbles was there also.
01:20 Brawler4Ever ...
01:20 Brawler4Ever that was one time...
01:21 davy Especially if you are scared to death of being wolf'd.
01:21 BlackDragonSlayer Olimar might've been there also, or he might have left at that time.
01:21 Brawler4Ever exactly my thoughts
01:21 davy Your thoughts about what?
01:21 Brawler4Ever was he a wolf in those games?
01:21 Brawler4Ever or a human? mashi, I mean?
01:21 davy What games?
01:21 Brawler4Ever BDS's games
01:21 BlackDragonSlayer Brawler is starting to confuse me a bit.
01:22 davy The games on LLF you mentioned.
01:22 Brawler4Ever yes, davy and I were on a tangent
01:22 davy was mashi a human there?
01:22 Brawler4Ever im trying to get us out of it.
01:22 BlackDragonSlayer He was human in those games, and I think I might've been a wolf in one of them...? I'd have to go back and read through them again to cite specific examples.
01:23 Brawler4Ever i don't think that's necessary, honestly
01:23 Brawler4Ever i don't trust mashi
01:23 davy What do you guys think about a Dudeman lynch?
01:23 Brawler4Ever why dudeman?
01:24 BlackDragonSlayer Yeah... why Dudeman...?
01:24 Brawler4Ever because of his comment against me?
01:24 davy I was thinking about voting for him before NoS recent posts.
01:24 davy Yes
01:24 davy It was pretty bandwagoning, and he didn't seem to care that you had a vote against you already.
01:24 Brawler4Ever "Brawler has been posting left and right to defend himself or attack someone, and I'm interpreting it as an anxiousness to use whatever powers he has and soon." -Dudeman
01:25 davy this post:http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg296540#msg296540
01:25 Brawler4Ever a few others commented and destroyed his reasoning
01:25 Brawler4Ever bubbles and mashi, specifically
01:25 Brawler4Ever yeah
01:25 Brawler4Ever the problem that I have with mashi is that he keeps coming to my defense
01:26 davy That doesn't change the fact that he has a vote on you.
01:26 Brawler4Ever he does?
01:26 davy Actually, with his reasoning being destroyed, that should make him even more suspicious.
01:26 BlackDragonSlayer Hmm. That Dudeman post could possibly be a misinterpretation of intention, though I'd have to read more into the context to be certain (as in, it would be helpful if he were here right now).
01:26 davy dudeman I mean.
01:26 Brawler4Ever last i saw, he was voting for dudeman
01:26 davy not mashi
01:27 Brawler4Ever yeah, dudeman is against me
01:27 Brawler4Ever everything would be way more helpful if everybody was here
01:27 Brawler4Ever and way more confusing
01:27 Brawler4Ever i can see dudeman joining NoS's bandwagon against me
01:27 Brawler4Ever intentionally, as a wolf
01:29 Brawler4Ever you think that the guardian should come out immediately, davy?
01:29 davy BlackDragonSlayer, are you reading into the context atm?
01:30 davy Yes I still do.
01:30 BlackDragonSlayer Not right now.
01:30 BlackDragonSlayer I have to go soon; I'll probably do it later.
01:30 davy Could you do that? I'd like to have an agreement before I go to sleep.
01:30 davy The reading I mean.
01:31 BlackDragonSlayer How many voted did Brawler have before Dudeman voted for him?
01:31 davy 1
01:31 davy And Olimar voted soon thereafter.
01:31 Brawler4Ever just nocturne
01:31 Brawler4Ever yeah
01:31 davy hey look, dudeman is posting!
01:32 davy I wonder what he'll say.
01:32 BlackDragonSlayer Nocturne/Dudeman/Olimar wolves trying to start a bandwagon?
01:32 davy Not all of them obviously.
01:32 Brawler4Ever i doubt olimar is a wolf
01:33 davy I do think there is a wolf among them however.
01:33 BlackDragonSlayer Hm. You seem to share a few opinions with Mashi...
01:33 Brawler4Ever based solely on his latest post
01:33 davy Olimar I also think is the least likeliest to be a wolf.
01:33 Brawler4Ever i think he's just busy
01:33 BlackDragonSlayer From Mashi, referring to Dudeman: "I dislike this post. Your first post of substance is latching onto NocturneOfShadow's suspicion and for non-concrete reasoning."
01:33 Brawler4Ever true
01:34 Brawler4Ever not something a wolf would openly say to another wolf
01:34 Brawler4Ever unless he was under really deep cover
01:34 davy Indeed I do share a few opinions with Mashi.
01:36 Brawler4Ever mashi is very good at this game, from what I can tell
01:36 davy So, does either or both of you any bit interested in lynching dudeman?
01:37 Brawler4Ever can't busy defending myself against NoS, who I am still fairly certain is a wolf.
01:37 Brawler4Ever what's your opinion, davy?
01:37 Brawler4Ever do you believe that he's a wolf?
01:37 davy I'm not sure, but atm to me he's the likeliest player to be a wolf
01:37 Brawler4Ever he, being NoS
01:37 davy followed closely by dudeman.
01:38 BlackDragonSlayer I'd consider it, depending on what he does or does not say.
01:38 Brawler4Ever he's had it out for me since the beginning
01:38 davy I'm actually considering lynching dudeman and leaving NoS for the vigi.
01:38 Brawler4Ever none of his arguments come before Mashi's chat log
01:38 Brawler4Ever why not vice versa?
01:39 davy Nocturne's early behaviour doesn't really concern me. He starts all his games like that.
01:39 Brawler4Ever does he? ok then.
01:39 Brawler4Ever maybe history isn't so bad....
01:40 davy It's a little too coincedental that you are also the player that he decides to put an actually clarified vote on.
01:40 BlackDragonSlayer "I'm actually considering lynching dudeman and leaving NoS for the vigi." Hmm, that might be a good idea, actually.
01:40 davy Our great overlord Mashi has arrived at NSM.
01:41 Brawler4Ever act inconspicuous
01:41 Brawler4Ever he must know nothing
01:41 Brawler4Ever jk
01:41 davy Why do you think that is a good idea BDS, and more importantly, a better one than lynching either of them?
01:42 BlackDragonSlayer because it gets two suspicious players out of the way and is actually a fairly substantial d1 lynch compared to what is usually done
01:43 davy 01:38 Brawler4Ever why not vice versa? - Regarding lynching and vigi'ing?
01:45 BlackDragonSlayer Why would it matter, if two suspicious players die either way?
01:45 Brawler4Ever because it's how they die
01:45 Brawler4Ever if NoS is lynched, they won't know if he was wolved or vigi'ed
01:45 Brawler4Ever unless we make a public request?
01:45 davy Because I think the vigi can be swayed for a NoS vigi more easily than a Dudeman vigi
01:46 BlackDragonSlayer Why?
01:46 davy Of course, we would make it a public request
01:46 Brawler4Ever what are the chances of him vigi'ing me instead?
01:46 Brawler4Ever assuming me and NoS both survive, somehow
01:46 davy Roughly the same of him being NoS or Olimar, I think.
01:46 Brawler4Ever jk
01:46 Brawler4Ever it's not important, just a funny thought
01:47 Brawler4Ever yeah, there's not much on Dudeman atm
01:47 davy NoS has been in the spotlight the entire game, has a case going against him that is less easily reverted and is generally a player that raises suspicion by every player.
01:48 davy as for why I think the vigi would be more likely to go for NoS.
01:48 Brawler4Ever "and is generally a player that raises suspicion by every player." that could technically be used in his defense
01:48 Brawler4Ever which he already has done
01:49 davy How could that be used in his defence?
01:49 Brawler4Ever since he's always suspicious, the fact that he is suspicious now is part of his personality
And with that, I'm going to sleep. Happy lynching everyone.
I was going to vote for NoS with a little bit of hesitation, but Dudeman's wall of text may have made me more certain.
Each and every time, Brawler has refuted all of NoS's claims with pure logic and admitting possible mistakes. Is this kind of wolfish? Yes. But that logic still stands, and much better than NoS's. I don't know how to begin with NoS. He's used improper logic, and contradicted himself multiple times. He claimed that "he explained his reasoning" when he voted for brawler, while, in fact, he did not in the least. NoS has just been putting up flawed argument after flawed argument. I can't tell if this is just how he plays or not, but I don't like it one bit. And so, without further ado,
Nocturne of Shadow

Crap, I missed phase end by a few minutes.
I would have voted Noc because I wasn't going to accuse Brawler just for his activity and his posts actually make more sense than Noc's.
Whoops, didn't know the phase ended at 9 and not at 11!! For the record, I would not have voted for Noc; I'm still putting together my thoughts as to why though
Toby hasn't even posted once.
Is he even here?
Uh, guys?
Toby hasn't been online since the 29th of June.
He posted on the 29th that he still wanted to be in .-.
But I don't think he's logged on since then.
Sorry for my absence all of today; I had to focus my time on another TWG for a bit and was busy the rest of the day until now.
Quote from: davy on July 07, 2015, 02:24:50 AMIf games are not designed to be alliance games, that doesn't mean alliances can't be helpful (just think of Sauce is Pretty Coll). This point alone doesn't mean much.
Generally, if games are designed to not be alliance games, there are factors that hinder an alliance from being effective.
QuoteIn that case, we will also kill a wolf, which means the number of mislynches we can make will increase from 3 to 4 and the number of correct lynches we have to make will decrease from 3 to 2, putting the wolves, who already have a disadvantage in numbers this game, on an even bigger disadvantage. Personally, I don't think the wolves will take that risk, especially considering fake claiming is something not to often done on this forum (outside from a certain few members).
This is incorrect. Regardless of whether a Wolf is lynched or not, in this game, Humans lose on the 5th mislynch.
QuoteI have the complete oposite experience with alliances regarding activity. Looking at the most active games by number of posts, the number one was a game that got so active because everyone was discussing wether the alliance was infiltrated or not. The top three most active games all had alliances, and 10 out of the top 16 (first page) games had them. Also, in all but one of the other 7 games alliances were completely impossible to form because either specials didn't know their role, or because there were no specials.
Yes, unfortunately, there is already a dead player. However, if Fank was a special, the wolves won't know that either, and they have to risk losing one of their member which means they will be at a disadvantage.
If (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=4813.0) you (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=4894.0) look (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=4956.0) at (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=4920.0) NSM's (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=5039.0) most (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=5214.0) active (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=5357.0) games (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=5412.0), practically (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=5555.0) none (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=5682.0) were (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=5625.0) alliance (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=5814.0) games (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=5956.0). While it's true that NSM's most active game (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=6573.0) was an alliance game, it also happened to be NSM's only game that was more than 50 pages, which is completely anomalous, whereas active games (20+ pages) are consistently almost always non-alliance games. I would attribute the game being active due to unique circumstances and the Players rather than anything about the design; it's incredibly conspicuous that the game was an outlier.
QuoteBut even if the seer finds any reds, that player won't have any way of sharing it without sacrificing himself, which would be the same as when the seer would be counterclaimed. And I don't know about you, but I don't trust our seer to be able to create the lynch on the seer'd player other than sharing the result. If we want the seer to be of any use, that player must have a way to get the seer'd role killed, therefore we need an alliance.
If the Seer gets a Red result, the Seer needs to convince people to lynch that person without outing the result. It's a novice level way of playing to claim and then have everyone play follow the leader. A good Seer is able to convince people that his/her Human reads are Humans and his/her Wolf reads are Wolves. It's noteworthy anyway that there's a Wolf Painter and Miller in the game to skew results as well, so Red results aren't final, they should only be used as a general guide.
QuoteI am not actually willing to depend on this. The chance of the guardian blocking a wolfing is much smaller than the chance of the guardian dying. I'd rather be sure the guardian is useful before that player dies (by setting up the alliance), that have a very small chance the guardian is useful and a big chance that that player dies before he/she can be useful.
The guardian, who is pretty much a normal human that knows his role due to the sheer ammount of powers that get past guarding, the fact that the guardian can't self-guard and the fact that the only way the guardian becomes useful without sacrificing himself is if that player is lucky enough to hit the same player as the player that would be wolfed, seems like a pretty good sacrifice to me for creating an alliance.
Did you calculate the statistic? Because the chances of a Guardian making a successful guard (where number of players alive is n and number of Wolves alive should be a bit less than 1/(n-1). The chances of the Guardian being killed is 1/(n-w).
I decided to simulate the chances of a Guardian making a successful block on Excel. I assumed 13 Players were alive, 3 of them were Wolves, 1 was a Guardian, the Wolves don't wolf themselves, and the Guardian can't guard himself/herself. Based on a sample size of 15315, 1153 successful guards were made, which is about 7.523% successful guards! With those same assumptions, the chances of the Guardian being wolfed is 10%, so getting a successful guard in certainly isn't out of the question.
QuoteIf we vigi without alliance, we risk the vigi killing the seer (or the guardian). If we don't vigi, we lose additional mislynches (which is essentially what the vigi creates). If we vigi with an alliance we don't risk the vigi killing the seer and we won't lose our additional mislynches.
If the vigi doesn't know who the seer is, any shot he takes risks hitting the seer. If you mean that he should not take any shot out of risking hitting the seer, than we lose additional mislynches.
With no alliance, we risk the Seer being killed by wolfing regardless. Assuming the Seer and Vigi don't play poorly, the Vigi won't be vigi'ing the Seer anyway.
Your statement about losing mislynchs is false. If the Vigi vigis every Night Phase and we mislynch every Day Phase, then by the time we reach Day 3, there will be 3 Wolves and 5 Humans remaining, with having been made 2 lynches and 2 vigis. However, if we don't vigi at all, then by Day 5, there will be 3 Wolves and 4 Humans remaining, with having been made 4 lynches. The former will technically give us an extra kill for the Human, but at the risk of missing Day Phases and a bit complicated statistical stuff regarding normal Day Phase and vigi Wolf-kill probabilities. The latter gives us the maximum number of Day Phases, but causes our Vigi to do nothing.
Quote from: Dudeman on July 07, 2015, 04:58:04 PMAlso going to end by saying that I have some pretty high suspicions on Mashi as well, but I'll wait until Day 2 to look into it.
Why?
I'll look for a replacement for Toby.
SlowPokemon, since you've been gone a while, I wanted to inform you (just in case) that Phantoms no longer add .01 votes onto people and are used only as a tool for if the Host feels a replacement is necessary.
It really is inescapable
I /think/ I read all of day 1 just now and I feel decent with the Nocturne lynch. I'd love to hear Bubbles reasoning on the contrary, though.
Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 06, 2015, 05:47:15 PMThe problem with this is that you are twisting facts to suit theories, not creating theories to suit facts. In your mind, I am a wolf, and the reasons behind this suspicion can come later. This is manipulative. This is something a wolf would do.
actually, this is a common flaw with people in general and not just wolves. not saying I disagree with you, though.
Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 07, 2015, 04:16:02 AMOn the subject of alliances:
davy and I discussed possible setbacks, but decided not to share them, so that we wouldn't give the wolves a weapon to use in the future. But it's relevant to the current discussion, and since Mashi already posted the question that we had, I don't see any point in not posting it now.
>_>
On an unrelated note, I've just gained the insight that I'm easily swayed in reasonable-sounding arguments, even if they aren't actually reasonable.
I'm going to go wash dishes, play ACNL for 30 minutes and then come back here.
Oh, and I kinda trust Mashi now; about half-way through the phase he was the voice of reasoning and defended against bandwagon's that happened that I highly disagreed with. He's still a good seering target though.
Brawler and I are in chat
I'll join chat shortly. I honestly had human leans for both Nocturne and Brawler and I feel it was silly to lynch either of them. What wolf goes into a blood bath day 1 (hypocritical I know, but you get the point.) Right now my biggest suspicion is still BDS, my vote on Latios being a reaction test. I'll elaborate later.
First off, I'd like to say that I'm not a fan of this hiding (or delayed posting) of chatlogs. All information in the chat should be available to all players, it's not supposed to be some exclusive group thing. The only reason players would need to talk secretly when no alliance exists is if they are wolves, so share! I'm a bit suspicious of davy and Brawler for doing that not once but twice, and I probably would have voted for davy last phase if I got here in time. I've been giving Brawler and Dudeman more leeway this game because they're newer players, but if next day phase we're in a similar situation I won't look the other way
I wasn't going to vote Noc because I skimmed through the thread, and when you're reading everything all at once (and truthfully not reading a lot of the bigger posts, heh) bandwagons look more glaring. After going back though, I stand by my original post. Noc always has some weird wording and reasonings, and I wanted to let him hang around a little more to see if he cleaned himself up since I didn't see anything too terrible against him.
I joined the chat and got questioned on my previous post, so here's the log so I don't have to be asked again here:
Spoiler
22:37 *** bubbles joined #TWG
22:37 Brawler4Ever to be fair, NoS started it
22:37 Brawler4Ever hey
22:37 ArrowFire Actually now that you bring it up olimar is kinda bleh
22:37 NickServ Password accepted - you are now recognized.
22:37 Latios Party time!
22:37 Brawler4Ever he's busy
22:37 Latios I think Olimar was like me
22:37 ArrowFire ah I see
22:37 Latios just checking in
22:37 bubbles yo
22:37 Latios Hi Bubbles
22:37 ArrowFire sup
22:37 bubbles arrowfire?
22:38 Latios yeah who is that
22:38 bubbles oh
22:38 ArrowFire the arrows of everything fire
22:38 bubbles ignore me lmao
22:38 Brawler4Ever lol
22:38 Brawler4Ever i didn't even notice that
22:38 ArrowFire :[
22:38 ArrowFire I'm reading through old games right now for BDS info
22:38 Brawler4Ever i don't notice things well
22:38 Latios wait we're supposed to post chat logs all the time??
22:38 ArrowFire I think it's optional
22:38 ArrowFire right?
22:39 *** Jub3r7 joined #TWG
22:39 Brawler4Ever hey
22:39 Latios Man, five people
22:39 Jub3r7 I made a reads list!!! and 3/4 people here are listed as ???
22:39 Latios It really is party time
22:39 Brawler4Ever when was our second "secret" chat log?
22:39 Brawler4Ever the only one was the one that I posted
22:39 Jub3r7 I mean 3/4 of you are listed as ??? on my reads list so this is great
22:40 Brawler4Ever sweeeet
22:40 Brawler4Ever let the reading begin!
22:40 Latios Read me I'm human
22:40 Jub3r7 Latios, how do you feel about NOS lynch?
22:40 Jub3r7 from a scale of 0 to confident?
22:41 Jub3r7 I am talking retroactively and I am aware that the phase ended
22:41 bubbles oops didn't know you guys were talking to me
22:41 Jub3r7 oh yeah you too bubbles, can you explain why you weren't feeling the NOS lynch?
22:41 bubbles chatlogs arent necessarily supposed to be always public but its really helpful
22:41 Latios I'm not entirely sure because Noc always seems off and it seems to be a thing that we always lynch him day 1
22:41 Latios but I didn't exactly see too much in his favor
22:41 bubbles i remember a few games ago we had a chat that saved everything and it was great
22:42 Brawler4Ever that would be helpful
22:42 bubbles but saying "me and him were talking and decided to not tell anyone" is a reed flag to me
22:42 Brawler4Ever yeah, i can see that
22:42 bubbles davy posted the second log somewhere, the one with bds
22:42 bubbles red flag* lmao
22:43 Latios bubbles do you have yesterday's log?
22:43 Brawler4Ever that wasn't secret
22:43 Latios while we're at it
22:43 bubbles no
22:43 bubbles i dont save logs #hypocrite
22:43 Latios oh
22:43 bubbles we didnt really say anything though right?
22:43 Jub3r7 Bubbles, if you saw their explanation, they were discussing wolf strategies that could be used against town
22:43 Latios I don't think so
22:43 Jub3r7 Which isn't a wolf thing to do since the log was actually posted
22:43 Latios then again it was past midnight so I barely remember anything
22:44 Brawler4Ever the only part that we cut out was ideas for the wolves to beat the alliance
22:44 Brawler4Ever we felt that that knowledge should not be made public
22:44 Latios I personally don't see a problem with that
22:44 bubbles but how were you comfortable enough to have that conversation in the first place?
22:45 bubbles how did you know that the people you were talking to werent wolves trying to draw things out?
22:45 bubbles or vice versa
22:45 Jub3r7 Because they wanted to know whether or not it was an optimal strategy for the guardian to claim.
22:45 bubbles and?
22:45 bubbles i dont get it
22:45 Jub3r7 And to figure it out, they discussed it.
22:45 Brawler4Ever it was just me and davy
22:46 Jub3r7 What are the downsides? What can the wolves do in response to it?
22:46 Jub3r7 And they discussed what the wolves could do in response to it, and decided not to post it so wolves wouldn't think of it.
22:46 Brawler4Ever hold on, i need to put my nephew to bed. afk
22:46 Jub3r7 *would have to think of it themselves.
22:46 Jub3r7 I don't see where your confusion is coming from.
22:47 Jub3r7 Anyway, their discussion lead to a conclusion that was not optimal, since there were reasons in their logic that were incorrect.
22:48 Jub3r7 That latter part was pointed out by Mashi!
22:48 bubbles its not the " lets not post this" that i have an issue with, its the "lets not post this--wait nvm lets post it now"
22:48 bubbles its not necessarily bad, i just dont like it
22:49 Jub3r7 To be honest, I'm a bit guilty of doing things like that and I do agree that it's not a good idea
22:49 Jub3r7 Hence my >_> in response to "I was going to not post it but I'm doing it now anyway"
22:49 bubbles especially how half of it WAS posted, things were omitted
19:54 Brawler4Ever I have to admit, that wasn't my best moment
Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 07, 2015, 08:02:25 PM19:54 Brawler4Ever I have to admit, that wasn't my best moment
To clarify, I posted this a few lines below Bubbles'.
Spoiler
19:49 Jub3r7 Hence my >_> in response to "I was going to not post it but I'm doing it now anyway"
19:49 bubbles especially how half of it WAS posted, things were omitted
19:50 bubbles anyway
19:50 bubbles i thought i said why i didn't like the noc lynch?
19:50 ArrowFire Yeah
19:50 ArrowFire I didn't like it either
19:50 bubbles my last post in the thread
19:50 Jub3r7 FireArrow, explicate. I think bubbles gave her reason in your most recent post?
19:51 ArrowFire I posted aswell
19:51 Jub3r7 Also, if you read Noc's reasons toward the end of the phase they started to get worse.
19:51 Jub3r7 Yeah, but why?
19:51 ArrowFire But basically I don't think wolves get themselves into hyper active battles day one
19:52 Jub3r7 I assure you, they can and they do
19:52 Latios I thought that happened to Noc in a recent game
19:52 ArrowFire Yes but they usually don't start them
19:52 ArrowFire In this case they both kinda started it
19:54 Jub3r7 Noc's posts were vague because he was on mobile a majority most of the time, but it felt more like an excuse to me, especially after reading the longer posts.
19:54 Brawler4Ever "Hence my >_> in response to "I was going to not post it but I'm doing it now anyway" "
19:54 Brawler4Ever I have to admit, that wasn't my best moment
I'm assuming that Bubbles didn't see it, which is fine.
Been spending some time in chat but forget to post my thoughts, oops. Here's a brief summary of what I've been thinking (I'm not terribly certain about all of this).
I have mixed feelings about Noc, he seems kinda off as he always does but as mentioned multiple times there wasn't much substance in his last couple of posts. Meh.
After more consideration Brawler just seems to be really into the game, and I don't see his hyper-activity as incriminating. Not sure what to think of Dudeman and Olimar but Olimar seems to just have been bandwagoning because he was busy. Brawler and davy discussing the plan in private seems kinda meh; at first davy seemed alright but I'm not really sure.
I haven't read the details of Mashi's and davy's arguments about the plan yet.
Bubbles and Maelstrom are pretty human seeming.
Quote from: Mashi on July 07, 2015, 06:50:44 PMThis is incorrect. Regardless of whether a Wolf is lynched or not, in this game, Humans lose on the 5th mislynch.
It has been decided that games can end on a night phase as well unless stated otherwise. Therefore, if no wolf is lynched, Humans lose at the start of day 5 with 3 wolves and 3 humans, therefore losing on the 4th mislynch. Killing a wolf with the vigi (or lynching the wolf and then vigi'ing the true blue player) shifts the game from a night phase end to a day phase end granting us that 4th mislynch.
Quote from: Mashi on July 07, 2015, 06:50:44 PMYour statement about losing mislynchs is false. If the Vigi vigis every Night Phase and we mislynch every Day Phase, then by the time we reach Day 3, there will be 3 Wolves and 5 Humans remaining, with having been made 2 lynches and 2 vigis. However, if we don't vigi at all, then by Day 5, there will be 3 Wolves and 4 Humans remaining, with having been made 4 lynches. The former will technically give us an extra kill for the Human, but at the risk of missing Day Phases and a bit complicated statistical stuff regarding normal Day Phase and vigi Wolf-kill probabilities. The latter gives us the maximum number of Day Phases, but causes our Vigi to do nothing.
That's just the point, extra human kills (two actually because by the start of day 5 humans will lose in no vigi strats, while in vigi strats the vigi has an additional night phase to kill a wolf). I do not care for additional discussion time if it costs us two uses of the only weapons we have to kill wolves. If you are disagreeing with this, that makes you really wolfish.

Alliance created by the vigi, not sure how you missed that.

Don't ignore the alliance I created as Master Wolf. The majority of the players were accepting me as alliance leader, so we had an alliance.
Quote from: Mashi on July 07, 2015, 06:50:44 PMgames (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=5412.0)
Once again, alliances created by the vigi. Adding a sniper to the game does not prevent the players from creating an alliance. We're not talking about if the game was designed to be an alliance game (which is also not something we're discussing about this game), we're talking about if the game

Fank contacted you and revealed both he and Olimar were masons. I'd call that a behind the scene alliance.
Quote from: Mashi on July 07, 2015, 06:50:44 PMwere (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=5625.0)
Really? We had the houses in an alliance and TZP and I had an alliance at the end of the game. Most importantly, we had a leader in the form of TZP, yet that didn't stop the game from being active.
Quote from: Mashi on July 07, 2015, 06:50:44 PMwhereas active games (20+ pages) are consistently almost always non-alliance games.
Give me numbers Mashi, I think with the above I have proven that 'almost always' is incorrect. Mind you we're still talking about games with alliances, not games that were designed to have an alliance.
Quote from: Mashi on July 07, 2015, 06:50:44 PMI would attribute the game being active due to unique circumstances and the Players rather than anything about the design; it's incredibly conspicuous that the game was an outlier.
I would attribute the remainder of the more active games to be not desinged to be alliance games due to active player bases causes humans to play better and therefore the host making it more difficult for the humans to create alliances. Not the other way around (no alliance games creating more active player base).
Quote from: Mashi on July 07, 2015, 06:50:44 PMDid you calculate the statistic? Because the chances of a Guardian making a successful guard (where number of players alive is n and number of Wolves alive should be a bit less than 1/(n-1). The chances of the Guardian being killed is 1/(n-w).
I decided to simulate the chances of a Guardian making a successful block on Excel. I assumed 13 Players were alive, 3 of them were Wolves, 1 was a Guardian, the Wolves don't wolf themselves, and the Guardian can't guard himself/herself. Based on a sample size of 15315, 1153 successful guards were made, which is about 7.523% successful guards! With those same assumptions, the chances of the Guardian being wolfed is 10%, so getting a successful guard in certainly isn't out of the question.
I admit that I made a mistake there. However I'd still rather be sure the guardian is useful than to have a chance the guardian is useful. Unfortunately, that doesn't matter now anyway.
Quote from: Bubbles on July 07, 2015, 07:36:52 PMFirst off, I'd like to say that I'm not a fan of this hiding (or delayed posting) of chatlogs. All information in the chat should be available to all players, it's not supposed to be some exclusive group thing. The only reason players would need to talk secretly when no alliance exists is if they are wolves, so share! I'm a bit suspicious of davy and Brawler for doing that not once but twice, and I probably would have voted for davy last phase if I got here in time. I've been giving Brawler and Dudeman more leeway this game because they're newer players, but if next day phase we're in a similar situation I won't look the other way
Secrecy is part of the entire game, not just limited to wolves and alliance members. Brawler and I had to discuss possible flaws in the strategy in order to see if we didn't overlook anything. Also, I think I missed the seccond time (or I just can't find it). Can you link me to the post where we are deliberately ommiting parts of the chat?
Quote from: Bubbles on July 07, 2015, 07:58:59 PM22:44 bubbles but how were you comfortable enough to have that conversation in the first place?
22:45 bubbles how did you know that the people you were talking to werent wolves trying to draw things out?
22:45 bubbles or vice versa
"The person I'm discussing this with might be a wolf, therefore it's better to tell all the wolves." That doesn't seem logical to me.
Quote from: Bubbles on July 07, 2015, 07:58:59 PM22:48 bubbles its not the " lets not post this" that i have an issue with, its the "lets not post this--wait nvm lets post it now"
What I was going to do is taking the discussion with anybody who disagreed to private messages. Then Mashi decided to be the one to disagree with me, and from experience, I was pretty convinced I wouldn't sway him, so I decided to involve the entire topic because I thought I might be able too convince other players. Since we had to reveal the same things we discussed in chat, we decided to post the remainder of the chat anyway because it would help the discussion. To me, all this seems like the most logical way to handle this, and I can't see how you would disagree with this.
Quote from: Bubbles on July 07, 2015, 07:58:59 PM22:48 bubbles its not necessarily bad, i just dont like it
"I don't think this player is a wolf, but I am going to lynch him because I don't like the way he plays this game." That's a really bad human play, Bubbles. I know you can do better.
Quote from: davy on July 08, 2015, 05:56:48 AMAlso, I think I missed the seccond time (or I just can't find it). Can you link me to the post where we are deliberately ommiting parts of the chat?
He is referring to the conversation between you, me, and BDS. I don't see why this would be suspicious. The chat service automatically deletes older chat posts. There's nothing that davy or BDS could have done about it, except preemptively copy and paste the chat logs into a separate document. Does anybody really do that, though?
Quote from: davy on July 07, 2015, 05:12:16 PM(I lost a bit of the chatlog because it was too long, sorry).
chatlog
00:56 BlackDragonSlayer Having players who remain inactive throughout the game is detrimental, especially late in the game, when wolves can easily take advantage of the lack of votes to push a lynch that wouldn't normally go through.
00:56 davy And the same isn't true for you because...?
00:56 BlackDragonSlayer Whereas lynching a player because they're probably going to be lynched anyway is not only lazy, but also unhelpful because there are other ways to determine alignment.
00:57 BlackDragonSlayer Especially when you insinuate that that person is possibly a human either way.
00:58 davy Lynching inactives is also lazy, there are also other ways to determine alignment and that player is possible a human as well.
00:58 BlackDragonSlayer But they're not going to be active either way.
00:58 davy You can never be sure about that.
00:59 davy And most importantly, he changed his vote to a better grounded one, so his bad lynching reason is not of present concern anyway.
01:00 BlackDragonSlayer "You can never be sure about that." For the most part, yes.
01:00 BlackDragonSlayer "And most importantly, he changed his vote to a better grounded one, so his bad lynching reason is not of present concern anyway." It still happened either way.
01:00 *** Brawler4Ever joined #TWG
01:00 davy Hi there
01:00 Brawler4Ever hey
01:01 davy We're currently discussing BDS's vote.
01:01 Brawler4Ever ok
01:01 Brawler4Ever it's currently against firearrow, correct?
01:01 davy Yes.
01:01 Brawler4Ever i just saw your post. i miscounted lol.
01:02 davy For the reason why he went for BDS.
01:02 Brawler4Ever who went for BDS? FireArrow?
01:02 davy And I'm like, it was an early day one vote, which are often not very well thought out, and he changed his vote to a better one later anyway
01:02 davy Yes, FA
01:03 Brawler4Ever ok I see
01:03 Brawler4Ever I see your point, BDS
01:03 davy "one of (BDS)'s selling points for the lynch is that he's probably going to be lynched later anyway, so if he's a human, he should be lynched now"
01:04 BlackDragonSlayer It seemed to me like he would have kept his vote had the lynched picked up more traction, though.
01:04 BlackDragonSlayer "one of (BDS)'s selling points for the lynch is that he's probably going to be lynched later anyway, so if he's a human, he should be lynched now" FireArrow's, actually.
01:04 Brawler4Ever it sounds like he was trying to build up the anti-BDS bandwagon
01:04 Brawler4Ever yeah, I got that
01:04 Brawler4Ever nvm i don't have it
01:05 Brawler4Ever who's saying that? I'm looking for it in the forum
01:06 davy I just think you are overanalysing his vote, but I do understeand now why you vote for him. Thanks for explaining.
01:06 BlackDragonSlayer Also, about the inactives thing, keep in mind the ending of TWG 65.
01:07 Brawler4Ever i wasn't there for TWG 65. Should I look it up?
01:07 davy However, it seems like the lynch is going to be decided between Brawler and NoS.
01:07 BlackDragonSlayer That's one of the games I was referring to.
01:07 BlackDragonSlayer http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=6176.msg243345#msg243345
01:07 davy Also, about BDS thing, keep in mind the entirety of TWG 55
01:07 Brawler4Ever lol
01:07 Brawler4Ever so much history
01:07 BlackDragonSlayer Basically I left Wolf alive on the chance that he'd actually go for the illogical lynch.
01:07 davy And a bunch of other games.
01:07 Brawler4Ever I need to catch up on my reading
01:08 davy But back on topic, are you (BDS) comfortable with keeping distance from the NoS/Brawler debate, and if not, who would you rather have dying today?
01:09 Brawler4Ever should I leave the room?
01:09 davy No, please stay. The more chatters the bigger the chat party.
01:09 Brawler4Ever i mean for this specific discussion, lol
01:09 davy Also, BDS and I could discuss in private if we wanted to.
01:10 Brawler4Ever i would prefer that, for BDS's sake
01:10 BlackDragonSlayer 50/50 between them now. I think some of Nocturne's later actions are a bit strange.
01:10 davy And the 50 for Brawler because overreaction?
01:11 davy I don't mind you (Brawler) contributing to the discussion either.
01:11 Brawler4Ever it's not fair if nocturne isn't here to defend himself
01:11 Brawler4Ever any comment I make will invariably be trying to make BDS come to my side
01:12 davy That's his fault, not yours.
01:12 BlackDragonSlayer Mostly because I could potentially see him being a wolf in this situation also, as I mention in an earlier chat (with Mashi and Bubbles).
01:12 Brawler4Ever I don't believe that that creates a healthy community
01:12 Brawler4Ever btw, i posted a new counter to nocturne in the forum
01:12 BlackDragonSlayer I.e. He hasn't done anything to expressly make me believe he's human.
01:12 davy Brawler, we're killing eachother, and fighting for our lives, and you think this is a healthy community?
01:12 Brawler4Ever have i done anything to make me seem wolfish, other than defend myself?
01:13 BlackDragonSlayer Not expressly wolfish, either.
01:13 Brawler4Ever honor is the only thing that separates us from the wolves
01:13 Brawler4Ever or some such noble bullcrap whatever
01:13 davy Nope, number and knowledge are the only things that sperates us from the wolves
01:13 davy I often lie as a human.
01:13 Brawler4Ever my argument with nocturne came after he accused me
01:14 Brawler4Ever his accusation had absolutely no basis
01:14 Brawler4Ever everything came AFTER Mashi posted our chat log
01:14 Brawler4Ever with which I am perfectly fine
01:14 Brawler4Ever but NoS had no reason to suspect me of anything, unless he also suspects you, BDS
01:14 Brawler4Ever but he expressly denies that now
01:15 davy So BDS, if Brawler doesn't seem either wolfish or human, but Nocturne's later actions are strange, why is it a 50/50 instead of leading towards Noct?
01:15 BlackDragonSlayer I recall him saying that he did suspect me.
01:15 Brawler4Ever his only argument now is that I'm overreacting (which, to be honest, I am)
01:15 Brawler4Ever who suspected you? me?
01:15 Brawler4Ever of course I did
01:15 BlackDragonSlayer Nocturne.
01:15 Brawler4Ever you made a very strange comment
01:15 Brawler4Ever oh
01:16 Brawler4Ever pretty sure everybody suspected you, BDS xD
01:16 davy Brawler, do you have the mood swing curse? (see TWG 73)
01:16 Brawler4Ever nah
01:16 Brawler4Ever olimar's comment ticked me off
01:17 Brawler4Ever im not bipolar or anything
01:17 BlackDragonSlayer "if Brawler doesn't seem either wolfish or human, but Nocturne's later actions are strange, why is it a 50/50 instead of leading towards Noct?" Nocturne's earlier actions weren't (or rather, earlier actions involving Nocturne). There's always the possibility that Nocturne is just reacting strangely to the situation.
01:17 davy Ok, I understeand.
01:17 Brawler4Ever nocturne's actions we're what?
01:17 Brawler4Ever wolfish?
01:17 davy Is there any other player that you would consider lynching (besides FA)?
01:18 davy were strange
01:18 Brawler4Ever ok
01:18 Brawler4Ever if it weren't for NoS, I'd be voting for Toby with Dude
01:19 Brawler4Ever oh, bird is a member of this forum
01:19 Brawler4Ever i did not know that
01:19 BlackDragonSlayer At this point, aside from the people who have already been mentioned, I don't feel strongly suspicious about anybody in particular. However, I think Mashi is human at this point.
01:19 Brawler4Ever sorry, tangent
01:19 davy Why do you think that?
01:19 davy Mashi is the person I'm always least certain of his humanity
01:19 davy (together with bird and verm of course)
01:20 BlackDragonSlayer I was reading some older games on LLF, and Mashi was talking similarly in a few of those games towards me as he was in this game.
01:20 Brawler4Ever hahaha! i have no history! I am a closed book! muahahaha!
01:20 davy Towards you? In private, in the chat or in the topic?
01:20 davy You have a history of reviving the first wolf victim as soon as possible.
01:20 BlackDragonSlayer Just the way he was going about asking questions/interrogating me. In the chat. Bubbles was there also.
01:20 Brawler4Ever ...
01:20 Brawler4Ever that was one time...
01:21 davy Especially if you are scared to death of being wolf'd.
01:21 BlackDragonSlayer Olimar might've been there also, or he might have left at that time.
01:21 Brawler4Ever exactly my thoughts
01:21 davy Your thoughts about what?
01:21 Brawler4Ever was he a wolf in those games?
01:21 Brawler4Ever or a human? mashi, I mean?
01:21 davy What games?
01:21 Brawler4Ever BDS's games
01:21 BlackDragonSlayer Brawler is starting to confuse me a bit.
01:22 davy The games on LLF you mentioned.
01:22 Brawler4Ever yes, davy and I were on a tangent
01:22 davy was mashi a human there?
01:22 Brawler4Ever im trying to get us out of it.
01:22 BlackDragonSlayer He was human in those games, and I think I might've been a wolf in one of them...? I'd have to go back and read through them again to cite specific examples.
01:23 Brawler4Ever i don't think that's necessary, honestly
01:23 Brawler4Ever i don't trust mashi
01:23 davy What do you guys think about a Dudeman lynch?
01:23 Brawler4Ever why dudeman?
01:24 BlackDragonSlayer Yeah... why Dudeman...?
01:24 Brawler4Ever because of his comment against me?
01:24 davy I was thinking about voting for him before NoS recent posts.
01:24 davy Yes
01:24 davy It was pretty bandwagoning, and he didn't seem to care that you had a vote against you already.
01:24 Brawler4Ever "Brawler has been posting left and right to defend himself or attack someone, and I'm interpreting it as an anxiousness to use whatever powers he has and soon." -Dudeman
01:25 davy this post:http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg296540#msg296540
01:25 Brawler4Ever a few others commented and destroyed his reasoning
01:25 Brawler4Ever bubbles and mashi, specifically
01:25 Brawler4Ever yeah
01:25 Brawler4Ever the problem that I have with mashi is that he keeps coming to my defense
01:26 davy That doesn't change the fact that he has a vote on you.
01:26 Brawler4Ever he does?
01:26 davy Actually, with his reasoning being destroyed, that should make him even more suspicious.
01:26 BlackDragonSlayer Hmm. That Dudeman post could possibly be a misinterpretation of intention, though I'd have to read more into the context to be certain (as in, it would be helpful if he were here right now).
01:26 davy dudeman I mean.
01:26 Brawler4Ever last i saw, he was voting for dudeman
01:26 davy not mashi
01:27 Brawler4Ever yeah, dudeman is against me
01:27 Brawler4Ever everything would be way more helpful if everybody was here
01:27 Brawler4Ever and way more confusing
01:27 Brawler4Ever i can see dudeman joining NoS's bandwagon against me
01:27 Brawler4Ever intentionally, as a wolf
01:29 Brawler4Ever you think that the guardian should come out immediately, davy?
01:29 davy BlackDragonSlayer, are you reading into the context atm?
01:30 davy Yes I still do.
01:30 BlackDragonSlayer Not right now.
01:30 BlackDragonSlayer I have to go soon; I'll probably do it later.
01:30 davy Could you do that? I'd like to have an agreement before I go to sleep.
01:30 davy The reading I mean.
01:31 BlackDragonSlayer How many voted did Brawler have before Dudeman voted for him?
01:31 davy 1
01:31 davy And Olimar voted soon thereafter.
01:31 Brawler4Ever just nocturne
01:31 Brawler4Ever yeah
01:31 davy hey look, dudeman is posting!
01:32 davy I wonder what he'll say.
01:32 BlackDragonSlayer Nocturne/Dudeman/Olimar wolves trying to start a bandwagon?
01:32 davy Not all of them obviously.
01:32 Brawler4Ever i doubt olimar is a wolf
01:33 davy I do think there is a wolf among them however.
01:33 BlackDragonSlayer Hm. You seem to share a few opinions with Mashi...
01:33 Brawler4Ever based solely on his latest post
01:33 davy Olimar I also think is the least likeliest to be a wolf.
01:33 Brawler4Ever i think he's just busy
01:33 BlackDragonSlayer From Mashi, referring to Dudeman: "I dislike this post. Your first post of substance is latching onto NocturneOfShadow's suspicion and for non-concrete reasoning."
01:33 Brawler4Ever true
01:34 Brawler4Ever not something a wolf would openly say to another wolf
01:34 Brawler4Ever unless he was under really deep cover
01:34 davy Indeed I do share a few opinions with Mashi.
01:36 Brawler4Ever mashi is very good at this game, from what I can tell
01:36 davy So, does either or both of you any bit interested in lynching dudeman?
01:37 Brawler4Ever can't busy defending myself against NoS, who I am still fairly certain is a wolf.
01:37 Brawler4Ever what's your opinion, davy?
01:37 Brawler4Ever do you believe that he's a wolf?
01:37 davy I'm not sure, but atm to me he's the likeliest player to be a wolf
01:37 Brawler4Ever he, being NoS
01:37 davy followed closely by dudeman.
01:38 BlackDragonSlayer I'd consider it, depending on what he does or does not say.
01:38 Brawler4Ever he's had it out for me since the beginning
01:38 davy I'm actually considering lynching dudeman and leaving NoS for the vigi.
01:38 Brawler4Ever none of his arguments come before Mashi's chat log
01:38 Brawler4Ever why not vice versa?
01:39 davy Nocturne's early behaviour doesn't really concern me. He starts all his games like that.
01:39 Brawler4Ever does he? ok then.
01:39 Brawler4Ever maybe history isn't so bad....
01:40 davy It's a little too coincedental that you are also the player that he decides to put an actually clarified vote on.
01:40 BlackDragonSlayer "I'm actually considering lynching dudeman and leaving NoS for the vigi." Hmm, that might be a good idea, actually.
01:40 davy Our great overlord Mashi has arrived at NSM.
01:41 Brawler4Ever act inconspicuous
01:41 Brawler4Ever he must know nothing
01:41 Brawler4Ever jk
01:41 davy Why do you think that is a good idea BDS, and more importantly, a better one than lynching either of them?
01:42 BlackDragonSlayer because it gets two suspicious players out of the way and is actually a fairly substantial d1 lynch compared to what is usually done
01:43 davy 01:38 Brawler4Ever why not vice versa? - Regarding lynching and vigi'ing?
01:45 BlackDragonSlayer Why would it matter, if two suspicious players die either way?
01:45 Brawler4Ever because it's how they die
01:45 Brawler4Ever if NoS is lynched, they won't know if he was wolved or vigi'ed
01:45 Brawler4Ever unless we make a public request?
01:45 davy Because I think the vigi can be swayed for a NoS vigi more easily than a Dudeman vigi
01:46 BlackDragonSlayer Why?
01:46 davy Of course, we would make it a public request
01:46 Brawler4Ever what are the chances of him vigi'ing me instead?
01:46 Brawler4Ever assuming me and NoS both survive, somehow
01:46 davy Roughly the same of him being NoS or Olimar, I think.
01:46 Brawler4Ever jk
01:46 Brawler4Ever it's not important, just a funny thought
01:47 Brawler4Ever yeah, there's not much on Dudeman atm
01:47 davy NoS has been in the spotlight the entire game, has a case going against him that is less easily reverted and is generally a player that raises suspicion by every player.
01:48 davy as for why I think the vigi would be more likely to go for NoS.
01:48 Brawler4Ever "and is generally a player that raises suspicion by every player." that could technically be used in his defense
01:48 Brawler4Ever which he already has done
01:49 davy How could that be used in his defence?
01:49 Brawler4Ever since he's always suspicious, the fact that he is suspicious now is part of his personality
Quote from: davy on July 08, 2015, 05:56:48 AM"I don't think this player is a wolf, but I am going to lynch him because I don't like the way he plays this game." That's a really bad human play, Bubbles. I know you can do better.
Pretty sure Bubbles never said that he was going to lynch you (correct me if I'm mistaken). This is a similar mindset that I had with FireArrow in Mashi's first chat log. Making mistakes is bad, but not lynchable. However, if they continue, they begin to become a concern, and that concern becomes a suspicion of intentionally making mistakes. Intentionally making mistakes would be, imo, very wolf-ish behavior.
Maybe here wasn't a second time, I think I misunderstood what you said before you posted that second log. I read it like the log took place a while ago and you were posting it now, but maybe not.
Brawler, I think he is referring to my post where I said I would've voted for Davy over Noc if I had gotten here in time last phase. And yeah, I would've. I've said this already, but I've got three players on my watch list: davy, brawler, and dudeman (not Noc). I didn't necessarily want to lynch them last phase, but if no other person came up I would've placed my vote. Brawler and dudeman are newer players and have an easier time making mistakes/drawing suspicion, so I decided on Davy.
Remember in the anonymous games when we used that chat that saved everything forever? How would your conversation have worked if it took place in that chatroom? I'm probably wrong, but I see the chat as a quick way to get your thoughts out and pm's for exclusive information.
Sorry, I confused the number of mislynches this game with another game. Regardless, I'll go over it so that you understand what I mean and I don't err.
We Don't Vigi:
Night 1:
3 Wolves 12 Humans
Day 1: - One kill by Humans
3 Wolves 11 Humans
Night 2:
3 Wolves 10 Humans
Day 2: - One kill by Humans
3 Wolves 9 Humans
Night 3:
3 Wolves 8 Humans
Day 3: - One kill by Humans
3 Wolves 7 Humans
Night 4:
3 Wolves 6 Humans
Day 4: - One kill by Humans
3 Wolves 5 Humans
Vigi vigis every Night:
Night 1:
3 Wolves 12 Humans
Day 1: - One kill by Humans
3 Wolves 11 Humans
Night 2: - One kill by Humans
3 Wolves 10 Humans
Day 2: - One kill by Humans
3 Wolves 8 Humans
Night 3: - One kill by Humans
3 Wolves 7 Humans
Day 3: - One kill by Humans
3 Wolves 5 Humans
So at Day 4 in the first scenario and Day 3 in the second scenario, Humans are in the same situation. The difference being that the Humans had 4 kills in Scenario 1 and 5 in Scenario 2. However, in Scenario 2, despite having more kills, you also have to note that two of the kills were made in Scenario 2 in a situation with 3 Wolves, 7 Humans and 10 Humans, respectively. Whereas in Scenario 1, the comparative two kills during the Day Phases were 3 Wolves, 5 Humans and 7 Humans, respectively. That is, despite having fewer kills to make, the Humans in Scenario 1 have a greater chance of hitting a Wolf based on random probability.
But that all aside, the Vigi should just make his/her best calls.
I disagree with some of your definitions of what an alliance is based on some examples you've provided, but we've argued enough; I doubt either of us is convincing the other, so I'll leave things at that.
That all aside, Bubbles, although I agree that it's odd for people to have been colluding, I don't think it's entirely incriminating in and of itself; I think the opposite in fact. It would mean that you suspect Brawler4Ever and davy (and BlackDragonSlayer?) of forging logs together, which I feel isn't the case. Based on davy's fervent disagreement with me regarding the alliance, it seems to me that he's sincerely pushing for a plan of action that he considers is beneficial to the Human Team, so I think he's Human.
Okay guys, I've almost caught up with the topic (need to read through some of these logs still). I have a few hours free tonight, does anyone want to chat?
in chat, but babysitting will make my activity there sporadic at best.
After thinking about it for a bit, an alliance might be extremely useful under the pretense that there is no master wolf. If anyone is seered green or blue, they're a confirmed human. Unless they can magically predict who's getting seered every night this would give us a growing alliance.
I'd suggest that the guardian starts the alliance simply because he's the least useful power role. Seer can confirm people and vigi is invaluable. The guardian is all prediction/luck based as thanks to the pierce, s/he can't protect important people.
To avoid counterclaiming, if and only if there are two guardian claims, one is lynched and the other is vigi'd. If the wolves wanna mess with it, they'd have to sacrifice someone, which number wise works out better for us.
If I missed something big (...like my first post) let me know, but I'm pretty confident in this atm.

Dude. There's a wolf painter.
And? The wolf painter can only paint Red and it's not permanent. So unless he manages to predict every seering, I don't see the problem.

He and his henchmen, fashionable though they may be, will be Seer'd red, though the elite Celosia can herself Seer other players.
I somehow combined these two sentences... Ok then. >_>
Now that I stand corrected, I really don't see the point of an alliance at all as we don't really have anything to gain from it. We're united two PRs at the price of one to do what exactly? The don't even have a way to communicate to the thread. I'll just go back to being useless now.

17:29 Brawler4Ever right now, the main discussion concerns an alliance
17:29 Olimar12345 I literally can't tell if he's being wolfish or just his usually trolly self : /

17:29 Olimar12345 but it sure will be less annoying without him, thats for sure.

I apologize for the late phase ending. However, the 9:00 PM is actually the more convenient time for me (tonight was a fluke) and as such, the phase will be roughly 47 hours instead of 48, unless anyone has any objections.
Night Two is over. davy and FireArrow are dead. It is now Day Two. Day Two will end on Friday, July 12, 2015, at 9:00 PM EST.
In addition, Yugi will be replacing Toby and his role PM has been sent out. I've also removed the Phantoms (I guess it's been awhile since I've played because I didn't know their functions had changed, haha).

It could be that the vigi thought that davy was a wolf because of his continual support for an alliance, even when everybody else believed it to be a mistake.
FireArrow? I have no idea. Either way. I have nothing against him, but I don't see why he would be wolfed/vigi'd.

While I don't believe that anybody would make this connection, I feel that it would be better to clarify now, rather than later. My suspiciousness of FireArrow in my latest post was serious. In an earlier post (I believe it was Mashi's first chat log?) I was joking.
In this case, I really don't see enough evidence to vigi/wolf him. That's what I meant in my previous post. To be fair though, he did make a remarkable number of mistakes, almost like he was
trying to make others fall into a trap. Or maybe I'm giving him way too much credit. In either case, I do not see the reasoning behind the wolves getting him, or the vigi getting him.
davy, on the other hand, makes complete sense to me. I'm fairly certain his death is a direct result of his continual support of an alliance. Both the vigi and the wolves would see this as a threat.
If davy was not a wolf, the wolves would see him as an obstacle in the future; it's much easier for the wolves to win if the humans don't have an alliance. So they would have reason to wolf him, thus basically stopping all support for an alliance, and making their job easier in the long run.
The vigi would see his continual support of an alliance as a huge mistake, presumably. Almost everybody was against it, except FireArrow, ironically. If the alliance is doomed to fail from the beginning (as everybody but davy believed) why continue to support it, and publicly call for the Guardian to reveal himself? It would seem, to the vigi in this specific case, that davy was a wolf, trying to get the Guardian to reveal himself so that they would have an easy kill, at the very least.
So one death makes perfect sense to me. The other makes no sense to me. Anybody else have any ideas? I'm going back into chat.

I can't say I agree with your reasoning here; I'm not sure why potentially supporting an alliance would somehow threaten the vigi or prompt them to vigi Davy. While I do admit that I found some of Davy's behavior in the chat a bit strange (you should know what I'm talking about, as you were there; as a specific example, how much his opinions lined up with Mashi's, yet he seemed to be suspicious of him... just because...?), I'm not sure if it as "strange" enough to warrant him being vigi'd. I could see him being wolfed though, because despite any of his arguably strange behavior, he was definitely putting effort forth, which would certainly be threatening to the wolves- just look at his giant post(s)!!! :P

Yeah, I never understood his reasoning behind being suspicious of Mashi. Something along the lines of davy saying "I am least certain of [Mashi's] humanity," but the subject was soon changed and didn't come up again. I was suspicious of Mashi because of a subtle friendship, per se, with NoS. They repeatedly complimented each other throughout the game. However, other players, like Latios, did the same with other players. So I believe that I was overthinking their "friendship." Possibly. I don't see it as a viable enough reason to pursue Mashi's lynching, that's for sure.
Quote from: Yugi on July 08, 2015, 09:02:21 PMHey everyone. What d'ya need me to do?
Depends. If you're a wolf, we'd greatly appreciate a confession. It'd make our Day 2 lynching very easy. ;)
Also, its entirely possible that the wolves used the strongarm kill tonight, to push us to an odd number of players and making it so the game ends on a night phase.

The piercing power is used for the kill, not in addition to it (i.e. there's still only one kill from the wolves)... I think...?
Whoops, read that wrong. Carry on.
Quote from: SlowPokemon on July 04, 2015, 02:30:24 PMFinally, Team Flare's prototype of the Ultimate Weapon allows them to have a "Piercing" power that will cause a person to die even if the Guardian has protected them, though this will only be effective once.
It doesn't necessarily state whether the piercing ability
is the wolfing, or
in addition to the wolfing. I had assumed that it took the place of the wolfing, but I might be mistaken.
Any clarification, Slow?
Piercing power will take effect if the Wolves decide to kill a player who is also being guarded. It will be announced if that happens.
I don't know where you guys got this from but the wolves don't get a second kill. One of the targets was a vigi.
Okay, I see where you got it from, but they don't get a second kill.
Just a heads up, I'm going out of town for the weekend and I'm not bringing my laptop. I'll be gone from Saturday morning to Monday afternoon. I can check in with my phone, but don't expect any more text walls from me for a while.
After which, I'll be preparing to move the following weekend (Saturday the 18th, if all goes well). So between me coming home and me settling into my new apartment, I'll be somewhat less-active in the game (and NSM, overall). After that, I have no idea. I might equalize into less-activity. We'll see. :P
Spoiler
There might even be a chat log that doesn't include me now! :O
What if either davy or FireArrow was a blue? What if the wolves had Seen one of them on Night 1 and wolfed one of them the following Night? There's 4 blues in the game (Seer, Guardian, Vigi, and Psychic) so it wouldn't be that unlikely. It'd be a 1/3 chance for either (15 players - 3 wolves = 12 remaining players, 4 blues / 12 players = 1/3 chance). I'm fairly certain that neither was the Guardian, since both were on board for an alliance. But one of the them being a blue is the only thing that makes sense to me with the death of FireArrow.
Of the possible scenerios, I believe it to be more likely that davy was vigi'd and FA wolfed. Although, of course, I could be entirely wrong.
If the vigi is wolfed when he calls for a vigi, does the vigi still happen? I would guess that it does. If not, then we can safely assume that neither player was the vigi, whether they were a blue or not at all.
Just a reminder that no powers were available to use Night 1, including the Wolf Seering.
Never mind then. :P
I misread the initial post; I thought that only blue powers were stopped on Night 1.
Whoops! xD
I'm curious, Slow. What are the order of powers? Where do the vigi/wolfing fit in?
Basicly what B4E said.
This is a tricky question, but in that event I would allow both players to use their powers, since if I didn't it would come down to valuing one power ahead of the other. Technically both were used during the Night Phase while everyone was still alive--consequences don't take place until the Night Phase is over.
Activity seems to have died down for a bit. Let's spark a discussion, shall we? Bubbles. Why are you a human and who are you suspicious of (I'd also like other players to answer this as well)? I will considering changing my vote if your answers are informative enough.
Roughly eight hours until Day Two ends.
Oh yeah. Nothing happens when B4E's not around.
Any ideas? Anybody?
Brawler, it makes sense that FA was wolfed and not vigi'd
because there wasn't much of an opinion on him. Keeping players in the game that people have strong feelings about makes it easier to hide an innocent looking wolf or push a mislynch. I'm really hoping the vigi didn't just take a shot in the dark, since Davy was a legit player to kill instead.
I'd like to hear more from
Dudeman. He hasn't contributed much of anything from what I've seen, even though he made that wall of text last day phase. It wasn't much of a look at his feelings as it was a recap of everything that's happened; basically just a list of facts. Earlier to that post he suggested lynching brawler for possibly being a special, which raised my suspicions on him. Sure it could've been a rookie mistake, but I can't just ignore that. I said last phase that I was going to give him a little more time but with this quiet spell I've lost my patience lol
Summary: he's been fairly quiet and that's a strategy for a newbie wolf
Quote from: BlackDragonSlayer on July 10, 2015, 02:08:09 AMActivity seems to have died down for a bit. Let's spark a discussion, shall we? Bubbles. Why are you a human and who are you suspicious of (I'd also like other players to answer this as well)? I will considering changing my vote if your answers are informative enough.
I can't remember the last time I was targeted, this is kinda exciting :D I'm not much of a player for analyzing myself, but I'd love to hear why
you think I'm a human or a wolf and I'll answer accordingly.
Slow, how does the piercing power work exactly? Does it only work if the targeted player was guarded? If yes, do the wolves pick the player or just choose to use the power and you target the guarded player for them?
Once again, the Piercing power isn't a conscious decision. If the Wolves attack someone who is also being guarded, they get a free kill.
I'm thinking Olimar first, although I'm neutral on Bubbles at the moment.
Welp. This is news to me. Looks like the guardian was bordering on useless. That alliance might have been a good idea after all. I mean, it still could have ended in disaster, but losing the guardian isn't as bad as I thought.
The piercing power is supposed to make it harder for us to form an alliance, not the other way around.

So if I'm understanding this correctly, the Guardian is basically powerless right now. Anybody that he Guards will get wolfed anyway, and it won't be until
after it is used that he can actually Guard someone. He should still Guard people, of course, because it's better to use up the Flare Gun now rather than never Guard anybody throughout the entire game, but that's still a pretty slim chance anyway.
If the Flare Gun is ever used, we can know that the Guardian is still alive (since he can't Guard himself). Unless, of course, the vigi accidentally gets to him on the same night. But we can worry about that later.

I agree with you on this a bit on this. It seems a little odd, but I'd like to hear more from Dudeman before making any rash decisions.
Note that the guardian protects against vigis, B4E.
Quote from: Jub3r7 on July 10, 2015, 01:02:49 PMThe piercing power is supposed to make it harder for us to form an alliance, not the other way around.
davy's original thought process was that the Guardian is basically useless this game anyway. Why not sacrifice him, if it can get the vigi and Seer to secretly work together? It was rejected for separate reasons, though. It would be
nice to have an alliance, but it was inherently flawed, so it would never have worked.
Quote from: Maelstrom on July 10, 2015, 01:09:02 PMNote that the guardian protects against vigis, B4E.
I'm saying that the Guardian himself gets vigi'd, not the Guardian's target. It's not really an issue, though. It's roughly a 1/10 chance right now that it happens? probably less, if the math is actually done.
I'm going to go ahead and safety on Brawler4Ever. I was hoping to do some research on the other players, but I just haven't had time. And I doubt that I'll have anymore time today. :-\
I had presumed that SlowPokemon made the piercing a one-use active (rather than passive) ability on the Wolves's side, but too late to change it now, so oh well. If that's the case, then the Guardian actually may as well be used as an alliance head, but it might be too late for that. Sorry, davy! That was my fault.
Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 09, 2015, 09:55:18 AMWhat if either davy or FireArrow was a blue? What if the wolves had Seen one of them on Night 1 and wolfed one of them the following Night? There's 4 blues in the game (Seer, Guardian, Vigi, and Psychic) so it wouldn't be that unlikely. It'd be a 1/3 chance for either (15 players - 3 wolves = 12 remaining players, 4 blues / 12 players = 1/3 chance). I'm fairly certain that neither was the Guardian, since both were on board for an alliance. But one of the them being a blue is the only thing that makes sense to me with the death of FireArrow.
Very Human post; it's analytical and reflects that Brawler4Ever is thinking about something he finds confusing. In addition to that, he mistakenly believes that Wolves had a seering Night 1 and I'm doubting he did so intentionally.
I share Bubbles concerns regarding
Dudeman, so I'll throw on a vote for pressure. I think I saw that he joined the IRC at some point yesterday, but I didn't catch him in time to converse with him. I would like to hear more from him, particularly why he found me suspicious Day 1, but left his reasoning unexplained when I asked him.
@BDS, can't really give much proof for my humanity since I haven't been in the game much, but I'd say that my not knowing of the strongarm mechanic points to my favour. I'll try and see if I can get in chat later today.
I really don't want to have to safety this time around. : /
I can't really make sense of the davy/FA combo, but if one of them was wolf'd and the other was vigi'd, then the vigilante among us suspected one of these two players as a wolf. Both of these players were in support of an alliance, so maybe that had something to do with it? I'm stretching pretty far here, I know.
In the chat : /
I can't guarantee I'll be back by phase end but I don't want to accidentally not vote like last time. And I don't have time to think/explain thoroughly :/

Not really. You're one of several people that have gotten the rules mixed up (no offense, SP). For all the humans know, a wolf could feign ignorance of a rule, while simultaneously exploiting the belief of this ignorance to their advantage. Using this ignorance as a defense is shaky ground, at best, imo.
Quote from: Mashi on July 10, 2015, 01:55:41 PMIn addition to that, he mistakenly believes that Wolves had a seering Night 1 and I'm doubting he did so intentionally.
That includes this, as well.
ohaidere
I understand the suspicion on me; I just really haven't had a lot to say. B4E has been doing most of the talking and after going over things most of my opinions line up with his. There's just not a lot to go off of currently. Noc's gone, davy's gone, and FA's gone. Really the only things I'm riding on are BDS's suspicious post the beginning of Day 1 and Mashi's continual discouragement of an alliance. Yes, an alliance would be useless, but the way he was so adamant about it shot up my suspicions. Other than that, sorry guys, nothing to contribute. It's kinda hard to play along when I'm standing among veterans tossing around statistics :/ (no offense, it's actually really impressive)
So I'm gonna go out on a limb and vote BDS. Also that post against Brawler because the whole "power=activity" thing was a mistake and I should've thought it through more.

Hmmm, true- it seems like he disappeared once the spotlight was off of him... though, to be fair, there are quite a few people who also haven't posted. This day phase has been somewhat unproductive; nobody really stands out at the point (I think that's why nobody is posting, which only helps to fuel the vicious cycle), because a lot of the focus last phase was on Nocturne/Brawler.
Ninja'd. DERE HE IS.
QuoteI can't remember the last time I was targeted, this is kinda exciting :D I'm not much of a player for analyzing myself, but I'd love to hear why you think I'm a human or a wolf and I'll answer accordingly.
The reason I voted for you at first was because I don't really get any particular sentiment one way or the other; to me, the combination of your actions through the game so far are "null," I'd say...
So here's the current vote count:
Bubbles: 1 (BDS)
Dudeman: 2 (Bubbles & Mashi)
Olimar12345: 1 (Jub3r7)
Brawler4Ever: 1 (Brawler4Ever)
Jub3r7: 1 (Latios)
BDS: 1 (Dudeman)
Switching to Latios212. The people I've spoken to so far feel Human to me, so it's mostly a process of elimination vote for me. Dudeman's seemed fairly Human to me in the chat and Olimar12345 as well (to a lesser extent).
Edit: Ninja'd
Latios, for reasons seen in this chat

18:58 Olimar12345 HOLY SHIT
18:58 Olimar12345 SOMEONE IS TALKING
18:59 Olimar12345 mashi is dead I think : /
18:59 Brawler4Ever very true
18:59 Brawler4Ever he's been like that since last night
18:59 Brawler4Ever I think?
18:59 Olimar12345 This introduction sounds familiar...
18:59 Brawler4Ever ikr?
18:59 Olimar12345 lol
19:00 Brawler4Ever i dont have much time
19:00 Brawler4Ever packing and stuff
19:00 Olimar12345 do you not have a lynch vote either?
19:00 Brawler4Ever im voting for myself
19:00 Brawler4Ever right now the bandwagon is against dudeman
19:00 Olimar12345 safety then, huh?
19:00 Brawler4Ever I don't blame them, but I don't agree with them enough to join them
19:00 Olimar12345 how noble of you lol
19:01 Olimar12345 I don't want to bandwagon, but I also don
19:01 Olimar12345 t want to safety
19:01 Brawler4Ever what's wrong with safety-ing?
19:01 Brawler4Ever other than the appearance
19:02 Olimar12345 nothing's wrong with it, but it doesn't move the game forward.
19:02 Olimar12345 the game seems to be very sill, you know?
19:02 Brawler4Ever soooo many rules
19:02 Olimar12345 maybe "still" isn't the best word...
19:02 Brawler4Ever did you mean silly or still?
19:02 Olimar12345 yeah, it is a bit of a complex game...
19:03 Olimar12345 still* sry
19:03 Brawler4Ever which is good
19:03 Brawler4Ever lol
19:03 Brawler4Ever I like complex
19:03 Olimar12345 I'm not that good at these overly complex ones. I think I rely too much on cardflips d:
19:03 Brawler4Ever i've never played a cardflip TWG game
19:04 Brawler4Ever nvm
19:04 Brawler4Ever i did, once
19:04 Brawler4Ever i can see dudeman being a wolf
19:04 Brawler4Ever from his initial post against me, following NoS
19:05 Brawler4Ever it might have just been another complex rule thing though
19:05 Brawler4Ever or it might not
19:05 Brawler4Ever i have to go
19:05 Brawler4Ever i might check in one more time after dinner
19:06 Olimar12345 okay, I'll try to be here.
19:06 Brawler4Ever but then I'll be out of chat for several days
19:06 Brawler4Ever cya
19:06 Olimar12345 there goes the game lol
19:06 Olimar12345 bye!
19:06 Brawler4Ever lol
19:06 *** Brawler4Ever quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
19:13 *** Dudeman42 joined #TWG
19:13 Dudeman42 Hello?
19:14 Olimar12345 OMG SOMEONE CAME
19:14 Olimar12345 You just missed Brawler
19:14 Dudeman42 Crud.
19:14 Dudeman42 I like that guy.
19:14 Olimar12345 but he wasn't here that long
19:14 Olimar12345 same lol
19:14 Dudeman42 Also I have massive suspicion on my head, so I thought I'd show up.
19:15 Olimar12345 and it looks like ppl are bandwagon-ing you
19:15 Dudeman42 That's what I thought.
19:16 Olimar12345 thought what?
19:16 Dudeman42 Just the bandwagon-ing thing. I really haven't done much other than make an incredibly flawed post for distrusting Brawler.
19:17 Olimar12345 yeah, I don't get it either. Though checking the thread, it looks like only mashi and Bubbles are voting for you
19:17 Olimar12345 (granted, I think thats the most agreement in a lynch we've come to so far...)
19:17 Dudeman42 Yeah. I do have some suspicion on Mashi anyway, not related to his votes on me.
19:18 Olimar12345 oh yeah?
19:19 Dudeman42 It's his repeated shooting down of the alliance. I understand that it would just end up killing all the specials, but the way he immediately said it shouldn't happen on the grounds that "this isn't an alliance game" and even went so far as to calculate chances of survival is weird.
19:19 Mashi hello
19:19 Dudeman42 Unless that's how Mashi normally plays, idk
19:20 Dudeman42 ohaidere
19:20 Mashi I helped SlowPokemon design the setup.
19:20 Mashi Though, he apparently made a bunch of changes.
19:20 Olimar12345 Oh sure, chow up when you're being suspected, but when I offer a kid greeting...
19:21 Olimar12345 show*
19:21 Olimar12345 kind*
19:21 Mashi sry i just came back
19:21 Olimar12345 (damn I should proofread these...)
19:21 Mashi Dudeman, you claimed being suspicious of me before alliance discussion began, no?
19:22 Dudeman42 No.
19:22 Dudeman42 Least, I don't believe so.
19:22 Dudeman42 I hardly posted.
19:23 Mashi http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg296669#msg296669
19:23 Dudeman42 Yeah, no, I just checked.
19:23 Mashi At the end of this post.
19:23 Dudeman42 This came after the alliance discussion.
19:23 Mashi Okay, which is after.
19:23 Mashi Why didn't you just say that was why you suspected me in the same post?
19:23 Dudeman42 I was tired
19:24 Dudeman42 I feel that whenever I vote someone I should voice my opinions on someone else later.
19:24 Dudeman42 I guess that's a dumb tactic?
19:24 Mashi It's not necessarily dumb
19:24 Mashi But it's generally better to voice all your opinions.
19:25 Dudeman42 Ah. I'll keep that in mind.
19:26 Mashi Is there anyone you feel is Human, Dudeman?
19:26 Mashi Olimar12345, you too!
19:26 Dudeman42 Bubbles, I guess.
19:26 Dudeman42 Nothing sticks out to me as wolfy about his behavior.
19:27 Olimar12345 Brawler seems pretty human to me
19:27 Dudeman42 Same.
19:27 Mashi I don't like any of the votes so far.
19:27 Mashi Except for feeling beutral on Olimar12345.
19:27 Mashi neutral*
19:27 Olimar12345 but until now he's the only person I have really chatted with so : /
19:27 Dudeman42 Half hour till the phase ends.
19:28 Mashi I'm doubting Dudeman is a Wolf.
19:28 Dudeman42 Aw, thank you. I'm touched.
19:28 Mashi Wolves, assuming they want to win, would have pushed any other wagon if he were one.
19:29 Olimar12345 "Except for feeling beutral on Olimar12345." I guess that's fair, I've been pretty silent this game : /
19:29 Olimar12345 Though, I've never played a game like this before, so I feel kind of alienated.. idk
19:31 Mashi I'm thinkinggg
19:31 Mashi Latios212 and Maelstrom right now
19:31 Mashi sry brb quickly
19:32 Olimar12345 Latios is pretty active elsewhere, it is kind of odd that he's not participating as much
19:32 Olimar12345 or, at least I expected to see more from him.
19:32 Dudeman42 True. Last game he was human and really active. I'm surprised.
19:33 Dudeman42 He was the most active player next to me.
19:33 Olimar12345 was he?
19:33 Dudeman42 Yeah. He was the miller with a death vigi.
19:34 Olimar12345 has he been a wolf in a past game?
19:34 Dudeman42 Not sure...
19:34 Olimar12345 maybe we can compare his playing styles
19:34 Dudeman42 I'll check.
19:35 Olimar12345 i'm checking too...
19:36 Dudeman42 Ah!
19:36 Dudeman42 TWG 76.
19:36 Olimar12345 yep- wolf painter
19:38 Dudeman42 Ooo, it's looking a bit similar. Short posts making an accusation with little explanation. I'm only a few pages in...
19:38 Olimar12345 13 posts in 18 pafes
19:39 Dudeman42 Lemme look at some of his human games...
19:40 Mashi Back.
19:40 Mashi Latios212, Maelstrom, BlackDragonSlayer, Bubbles, Yugi
19:41 Mashi I think the 2 or 3 of the Wolves are within those 5.
19:41 Olimar12345 Yo mashi, remember anything in particular about Latios' participation in TWG 76?
19:41 Olimar12345 looks lke you were the host
19:41 Mashi Uhh
19:42 Mashi What was the title?
19:42 Mashi nvm
19:42 Mashi Okay, so
19:42 Mashi Latios212 was playing his first or second game
19:42 Mashi And he was Wolf Partners with Bird
19:42 Mashi And I think he was pretty active, but people became suspicious of him early on in the game.
19:42 Mashi I think due to a Red seering?
19:43 Mashi No, he wasn't seered.
19:43 Olimar12345 that's unlucky.
19:43 Mashi But others were seered and he was suspected through process of elimination and probably the tone of his posts.
19:43 Dudeman42 I'm looking through TWG 78 where he was a human. He's literally posted nothing.
19:43 Dudeman42 In about 10 pages.
19:43 Olimar12345 Well, that seems to be the only game in which he was been a wolf before
19:44 Olimar12345 oh? 10 pages...
19:44 Olimar12345 was he not replaced?
19:44 Dudeman42 Make that 14 pages.
19:44 Dudeman42 Oh wait, he died and I missed it
19:44 Dudeman42 XD
19:44 Dudeman42 my bad
19:45 Olimar12345 it looks like he was wolf'd night 1
19:45 Olimar12345 ninjad
19:45 Mashi lol
19:45 Dudeman42 Yeah, there it is. Whoops.
19:45 Dudeman42 Gotta go to dinner; might be back?
19:45 Olimar12345 I just checked the postgame lol
19:45 Olimar12345 I'll be here
19:46 Mashi Dudeman, vote someone you're suspicious of first if you haven't already.
19:46 Olimar12345 oh shit, phase ends in 15 minutes, right?
19:47 Mashi Yeah.
19:48 Mashi Oh, Dudeman voted already lol
19:48 Olimar12345 I only have vague latios suspicions, I don't want to incriminate him too quickly...
19:48 Olimar12345 oh wait no one else voted for him
19:49 Olimar12345 I guess that's better than nothing : /
tl;dr: weak suspicions based on similar post-styles in TWG 76, his only game thus far as a wolf.
I do have a life outside of TWG, and although I'm online a lot it's often me checking in for a few minutes say, during work or on my phone during my commute.
Also I apologize for most of my activity being in the chat and idk what happened to the transcripts.
I was also a wolf in the two games prior to that, don't forget.
I also realize there's like a few seconds left before phase end so if I survive I'll explain a little
...or I could be dead x.x
Hmm. That was interesting.
Last half of the chat, had to go:
Spoiler
19:49 Olimar12345 I guess that's better than nothing : /
19:51 Mashi idk
19:51 Olimar12345 "stops post"
19:51 Olimar12345 what?
19:51 Mashi Oh
19:51 Mashi No, vote Latios212 if you want
19:51 Mashi I'm trying to decide for myself, lol
19:51 Mashi I don't want Dudeman lynched.
19:52 Mashi My vote was just to pressure him and I got what I wanted.

I'll post my thoughts a little bit later on the whole latios thing. (not that it will change anything)
Spoiler
18:16 *** Olimar12345 quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
18:18 Mashi Ugh, sorry, need to brb AGAIN
18:18 Dudeman42 Have fun.
18:19 Dudeman42 So...how's life, Brawler?
18:19 Brawler4Ever good
18:19 Brawler4Ever going to Cali to visit my sister
18:19 Brawler4Ever fun times
18:19 Dudeman42 Awesome.
18:20 Brawler4Ever yours?
18:20 Dudeman42 Just fine. Rather uneventful.
18:20 Brawler4Ever the best kind of life, imo
18:20 Dudeman42 I did buy a 3DSXL off of a friend yesterday, though.
18:20 Brawler4Ever oh nice
18:20 Brawler4Ever any good games?
18:21 Dudeman42 I went out and got Pokemon Y.
18:21 Dudeman42 He didn't include any.
18:21 Brawler4Ever sweet
18:21 Brawler4Ever i haven't played a Pokemon game since Sapphire
18:21 Dudeman42 Sapphire is my bae
18:21 Brawler4Ever and even then, I didn't finish it
18:21 Dudeman42 Sorry, what?
18:21 Brawler4Ever ?
18:22 Dudeman42 Oh nothing.
18:22 Dudeman42 Nothing at all.
18:22 Brawler4Ever alrighty then
18:22 Brawler4Ever i agree with olimar
18:22 Dudeman42
18:22 Dudeman42 About...?
18:22 Brawler4Ever those smileys....are evil
18:22 Brawler4Ever he just doesn't like them
18:22 Brawler4Ever I think they're evil
18:23 Dudeman42 They stare into your soul.
18:23 Brawler4Ever and then eat it
18:23 Dudeman42 And then steal your credit card information.
18:23 Brawler4Ever and then eat that too
18:23 Dudeman42 XDDD
18:24 Brawler4Ever i don't agree with latios' lynching
18:24 Brawler4Ever i understand it, but I don't agree with it
18:24 Dudeman42 Who else is there? BDS, I guess.
18:24 Brawler4Ever kind of like yours, if I may be so crude
18:25 Dudeman42 And I suspected Mashi, but after this chat I'm not so sure anymore.
18:25 Brawler4Ever i still suspect mashi
18:25 Brawler4Ever but there's not enough to go on
18:25 Dudeman42 He's still on my list, just maybe not as high.
18:25 Brawler4Ever same
18:25 Dudeman42 Also can we just lynch Dude and be done with it
18:25 Dudeman42 he's done nothing
18:25 Brawler4Ever LOL
18:25 Brawler4Ever he's done less than latios, I think?
18:25 Dudeman42 Hey, what if he's a wolf?
18:26 Brawler4Ever I'm not going to change my vote or anything
18:26 Dudeman42 It's too late to do that anyway.
18:26 Brawler4Ever what happens in a tie? do you know?
18:26 Brawler4Ever is it random between the two?
18:27 Dudeman42 Yes. It's called a Knife in the Box, or KitB for short.
18:27 Brawler4Ever i don't know if SP would allow a vote now, anyway
18:27 Brawler4Ever ok ty
18:27 Dudeman42 I wouldn't count on it.
18:27 Dudeman42 Who'd you vote for again?
18:27 Brawler4Ever me
18:27 Brawler4Ever safety
18:27 Dudeman42 oh yeah XD
18:27 Brawler4Ever sorry about last night, btw
18:27 Brawler4Ever I had to leave right when we were getting to the juicy stuff
18:28 Brawler4Ever or was it two nights ago?
18:28 Dudeman42 Oh yeah. No worries. Life happens.
18:28 Dudeman42 Doesn't matter anymore...
18:28 Brawler4Ever true
18:28 Brawler4Ever you suspected mashi because he didn't want an alliance?
18:28 Brawler4Ever correct?
18:29 Dudeman42 Yeah.
18:29 Dudeman42 And it was the way that he didn't want it.
18:29 Brawler4Ever "this is not an alliance game."
18:29 Brawler4Ever never felt right to me
18:29 Dudeman42 Same here.
18:29 Brawler4Ever is it common for players to give each other Human leans?
18:30 Brawler4Ever I've noticed Mashi do it a great deal
18:30 Dudeman42 How do you mean?
18:30 Brawler4Ever "he said this, so I think that he's human"
18:30 Brawler4Ever "Very Human post; it's analytical and reflects that Brawler4Ever is thinking about something he finds confusing. In addition to that, he mistakenly believes that Wolves had a seering Night 1 and I'm doubting he did so intentionally." - Mashi
18:31 Brawler4Ever other such things, not related to this specific post, as well
18:31 Brawler4Ever i'm not familiar with TWG jargon
18:31 Dudeman42 That's normal. It's not as useful as a post that says someone might be a wolf, but it takes away suspicion.
18:31 Brawler4Ever i've never liked it
18:31 Brawler4Ever it feels like they're trying to cover up for each other
18:32 Dudeman42 It's not very useful and puts words in people's mouths, but it's not necessarily bad.
18:32 Brawler4Ever but that's probably just me
18:32 Dudeman42 It's bad if they then accuse someone else.
18:32 Brawler4Ever how so?
18:33 Dudeman42 They've just cleared someone's name. A sudden turnaround attack on someone else will shift the spotlight and put the first person out of harm.
18:33 Brawler4Ever yeah, I can see that
18:33 Brawler4Ever I see that if somebody accuses Mashi, they go after me next
18:33 Brawler4Ever just a random, non-specific example
18:33 Dudeman42 I need to do an indepth analysis of Mashi's posts soon.
18:34 Brawler4Ever it goes other ways
18:34 Brawler4Ever that was just a bad example.
18:34 Dudeman42 I see your point.
18:34 Brawler4Ever my point is Nocturne
18:34 Brawler4Ever he said that Mashi was a good human, twice
18:34 Brawler4Ever not necessarily in those words
18:34 Brawler4Ever I see that as a wolf building the reputation of another wolf
18:34 Brawler4Ever but, others do it as well
18:35 Dudeman42 Yeah. It's more of a newbie move to say, "okay, that guy's human." No need to state the obvious.
18:36 Brawler4Ever isn't it the same thing, though?
18:36 Brawler4Ever he acts human, therefore he is human
18:36 Brawler4Ever makes no sense to me
18:37 Brawler4Ever a wolf also acts human, otherwise there wouldn't be a game
18:37 Dudeman42 But a wolf can act like a flawed human.
18:37 Brawler4Ever yeah
18:37 Brawler4Ever exactly my point
18:38 Brawler4Ever "acting" human, or doing "human" things, means nothing
18:38 Brawler4Ever to me, anyway
18:38 Dudeman42 Then everyone's a wolf.
18:38 Dudeman42 That's where the balance lies.
18:38 Brawler4Ever and that's how I see the game xD
18:38 Dudeman42 If everyone is suspicious because everyone acts like a human, then how can we find out anything?
18:38 Brawler4Ever everybody's a wolf, until the scoreboard says they're not
18:38 Brawler4Ever people make themselves suspicious
18:39 Brawler4Ever they are not inherently suspicious
18:39 Brawler4Ever i may be completely wrong
18:39 Dudeman42 If they aren't inherently suspicious, are they then human?
18:39 Brawler4Ever expert TWG-ers may be doing the biggest facepalm ever
18:40 Dudeman42 And by extension via your logic, they are then wolves?
18:40 Dudeman42 It's okay, you're new to it.
18:40 Dudeman42 I'm new to it to. This is only my second game.
18:40 Brawler4Ever oh really?
18:40 Brawler4Ever oh wait, you mentioned that...
18:40 Dudeman42 I guess I just think more logically.
18:40 Brawler4Ever i thought that that was what I was doing
18:41 Brawler4Ever not looking into *how* they say, but what they say
18:41 Dudeman42 Exactly. You're saying that anything "human" is by extension "wolfy."
18:41 Dudeman42 So no one's human.
18:41 Dudeman42 That makes no sense.
18:42 Brawler4Ever not necessarily everything *is* wolfy
18:42 Brawler4Ever or *is* human
18:42 Brawler4Ever but *can be* wolf
18:42 Dudeman42 So everyone's suspicious.
18:42 Brawler4Ever to a certain extent
18:42 Dudeman42 AAAAAAAAAAND FULL CIRCLE!!
18:42 Brawler4Ever xD
18:43 Dudeman42 That's the thing with a game of bluffs. Some people are good at bluffing. Some are not. Some aren't bluffing.
18:43 Brawler4Ever i rprefer to look at *why* things are said
18:43 Dudeman42 Your job is to figure out the difference.
18:43 Brawler4Ever right
18:43 Brawler4Ever what's the motive?
18:43 Dudeman42 Yeah.
18:44 Dudeman42 But just confirming that someone's human doesn't really have a lot of suspicion behind it.
18:44 Dudeman42 Unless it creates a false sense of trust.
18:44 Dudeman42 That's it!
18:44 Brawler4Ever that's what I wanted to know
18:44 Brawler4Ever so it's not uncommon/suspicious for somebody to give someone else a human lean
18:44 Dudeman42 Absolutely not.
18:44 Dudeman42 Wow, that took forever.
18:44 Brawler4Ever i just see that too easily misused by the wolves
18:45 Dudeman42 There are a lot of things that the wolves can use. Human confirmations are one of them.
18:45 Brawler4Ever that's true
18:45 Dudeman42 Counterclaiming's another.
18:45 Dudeman42 Which hasn't happened at all in this game.
18:45 Brawler4Ever i've used that before
18:45 Brawler4Ever didn't end well xD
18:45 Dudeman42 Obviously none of the specials have claimed, so why haven't the wolves tried?
18:46 Brawler4Ever well, nobody's claimed
18:46 Brawler4Ever because we'vve decided it's not worth it for them
18:46 Dudeman42 True.
18:46 Dudeman42 Any claims now would be suspicious.
18:46 Brawler4Ever they trade 1 for 1, if their counter is still alive
18:46 Brawler4Ever for better or worse, I believe that it's too late for an alliance
18:47 Brawler4Ever worse being that the alliance fails anyway
18:47 Dudeman42 So now we just wait for SP to update...
18:47 Brawler4Ever and apparently the Guardian agrees
18:47 Brawler4Ever or is dead
18:47 Brawler4Ever yeah
18:47 Dudeman42 And the Night Phase to happen...
18:48 Dudeman42 tbh, I bet fank was the guardian.
18:48 Brawler4Ever that would be hilarious
18:48 Brawler4Ever "Guardian, come out!"
18:48 Brawler4Ever "I can't! I'm dead!"
18:49 Dudeman42 You know? I feel that the Guardian would have said something by now if they were alive. Maybe even baiting the guardian to claim.
18:49 Brawler4Ever that would be best case scenerio, I beleive
18:49 Brawler4Ever baiting the wolf to claim?
18:49 Dudeman42 Yeah.
18:49 Brawler4Ever ok
18:49 Dudeman42 That happened in the last game I was in.
18:49 Dudeman42 Bubbles was a role and he kept asking for that role to claim.
18:50 Dudeman42 When the night phase was up he claimed.
18:50 Brawler4Ever he claimed the role he was requesting?
18:50 Dudeman42 Yeah. And that's who he was.
18:50 Brawler4Ever lol
18:50 Brawler4Ever makes no sense to me, but ok
18:50 Brawler4Ever the strategy, I mean
18:51 Dudeman42 Sure. If the Guardian wanted someone to suspect, they wait for a wolf to false claim so they can counterclaim.
18:51 Dudeman42 It's fairly common.
18:51 Brawler4Ever ah ok
18:51 Brawler4Ever then they both get lynched, but the humans come out ahead. Correct?
18:52 Dudeman42 Sure, unless shenanigans happen.
18:52 Brawler4Ever lol
18:52 Brawler4Ever shenanigans always happen
18:56 Brawler4Ever i don't like how yugi used his ignorance in his defense
18:56 Dudeman42 How so?
18:57 Brawler4Ever it seems manipulative, to me
18:57 Brawler4Ever "I didn't know! It couldn't be me!"
18:57 Brawler4Ever I don' buy it
18:57 Brawler4Ever don't*
18:57 Brawler4Ever of course, he's not the only one to make a mistake like that
18:57 Dudeman42 Oh, you mean how instead of apologizing he was all like, "lol I guess that means I'm cleared"?
18:57 Brawler4Ever but he's the first to claim as human because of it
18:58 Brawler4Ever yeah
18:58 Dudeman42 I can see it.
18:58 Brawler4Ever it's a simple mistake, but it doesn't in any way dispute wolfship
18:59 Brawler4Ever if it did, we could remove basically half of the players right now
18:59 Brawler4Ever as potential wolves
18:59 Dudeman42 Yeah.
18:59 Brawler4Ever including both of us xD
18:59 Dudeman42 That's what happened to FireArrow...
18:59 Brawler4Ever the difference is that FireArrow made a call to action
18:59 Brawler4Ever "Guardian, you're safe! Come out now!"
18:59 Brawler4Ever that's very different than speculation
19:00 Dudeman42 True, true.
19:00 Brawler4Ever and he did it on two different occastions
19:00 Brawler4Ever occasions*
19:01 Brawler4Ever Is SP an hour late, or were we an hour early?
19:01 Dudeman42 He's late, though he did say something about the ending time changing for convenience? I'll have to check.
19:02 Dudeman42 He did post an hour late last time.
19:03 Brawler4Ever oh yeah...
19:03 Brawler4Ever i forgot about that
19:03 Brawler4Ever if it was Night, I would be anxious
19:04 Brawler4Ever you know?
19:04 Dudeman42 Same.
19:04 Brawler4Ever this, this is just patiently waiting for the inevitable
19:05 Brawler4Ever On Day 3, I'm considering voting for Yugi
19:05 Brawler4Ever just bothers me way too much
19:05 Dudeman42 Hm. I'm still hanging on Mashi.
19:06 Brawler4Ever yeah, I can see that as well, in all honesty
19:06 Dudeman42 I'll have to make a case after Night 3.
19:07 Brawler4Ever what if you don't survive the Night?
19:07 Brawler4Ever I wouldn't be surprised if you were targeted by the vigi, all things considered
19:08 Dudeman42 Really? How so?
19:08 Brawler4Ever your initial post against me, for the most part
19:08 Brawler4Ever and a slight history of bandwagon-ing
19:09 Dudeman42 A slight history meaning that one post on you, right?
19:09 Brawler4Ever and against noc, soon after
19:09 Brawler4Ever but yeah, including yours against me
19:10 Dudeman42 Sure, but Noc had good reason to be voted against.
19:10 Brawler4Ever like I said, slight
19:10 Dudeman42 I don't think I've been active enough to warrant a vigi.
19:10 Dudeman42 Or maybe that's the point...
19:10 Brawler4Ever I'm just saying, if the whole thing with latios didn't come up, you'd be lynched right now
19:10 Brawler4Ever by a majority of 2
19:11 Dudeman42 Sure, but those votes were to pressure me into talking. I talked, so they were rescinded.
19:11 Brawler4Ever i agree
19:11 Dudeman42 Latios came up 'cause I fell out of the picture and they needed someone to vote for.
19:11 Brawler4Ever I don't see you likely as a wolf
19:11 Brawler4Ever but I'm not the vigi
19:12 Dudeman42 We'll just have to wait and see.
19:12 Brawler4Ever that's why I posted the chat log between me and mashi during my fight with noc
19:12 Brawler4Ever if I'm going to die, why not post everything that I can?
19:12 Dudeman42 True, true.
19:12 Brawler4Ever hopefully it would be useful to someone in the future
19:14 Brawler4Ever or maybe the vigi has someone else on his mind
19:14 Brawler4Ever there's lots of things to consider
19:15 Brawler4Ever or he's dead xD
19:15 Dudeman42 That's what I was about to say.
19:15 Brawler4Ever lol
19:15 Dudeman42 Actually he can't be dead unless it was Latios.
19:15 Dudeman42 No, wait.
19:15 Brawler4Ever or davy/FA
19:15 Brawler4Ever yeah
19:15 Dudeman42 Both the wolfing and the vigi happen even if the vigi dies. My bad.
19:15 Brawler4Ever yep
19:16 Brawler4Ever so there's a 1/5 chance that the vigi has died recently
19:16 Dudeman42 Something like that.
19:17 Brawler4Ever i have to go
19:17 Brawler4Ever i'll go ahead and post this log
19:17 Dudeman42 Not that it reveals much
19:17 Dudeman42 Or discusses much
19:17 Brawler4Ever but it brings some discussion
19:17 Dudeman42 We talked like noobs and went in circles
19:17 Dudeman42 Sure.
19:17 Brawler4Ever and that's better than what happened Today xD
19:17 Dudeman42 ^
19:18 Dudeman42 Well, see ya.
19:18 Brawler4Ever cya
tl;dr This is a LONG one! And there's basically nothing in here! xD
From what I can tell, the logic against Latios was kind of solid, but not really, as it was mostly based on activity.
However, I would like to add that there have been a lack of posts with any substance to them from him. I know I'm far from the first person to say that, but it's quite true.

as dudeman pointed out, the same could be said of Dude.
Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 10, 2015, 07:40:00 PMas dudeman pointed out, the same could be said of Dude.
True.
Was that in your chat log?
I only skimmed that one due to it's length and general lack of substance/relevance to the Latios situation.
If it wasn't, I guess I need to read better.
Quote18:25 Dudeman42 Also can we just lynch Dude and be done with it
18:25 Dudeman42 he's done nothing
Yeah, it was there. And no, I don't blame you at all for not seeing it. There was a ton of chat to go through!
QuoteNight Two is over. davy and FireArrow are dead. It is now Day Two. Day Two will end on Friday, July 12, 2015, at 9:00 PM EST
Friday, July
12? Did SP mean Sunday? I would assume it's Friday, giving us 48 hours. But at this point, I have no idea.

Does that mean Latios was the vigi?
Or is the vigi just lazy?
Quote from: Maelstrom on July 11, 2015, 06:28:24 PMWelp
Does that mean Latios was the vigi?
Or is the vigi just lazy?
Or the roleblocker got a hit.
Or Davy/FireArrow was the vigi.
Or they didn't realize the night was so short.
I don't want to sift through all the chatlogs right now, but who was it who suggested the Latios lynch?
Olimar first suggested that latios' history be checked, and mashi gave the first vote.
It's also possible that the vigi also targeted bubbles and is alive. Lots of possibilities.
I'll take my usual night kill, sorry I couldn't be of more help vocally this game!! o/ peace
Or the wolves were inactive and she was vigi'd. The activity has slowed down significantly...(hypocritical, since I've been inactive too :S )
Yeah, I was on board with Latios, but I did say it was a weak suspicion. Reread my log to see mashi, dudeman and I discussing weak suspicions. In hindsight it wasn't that great a lynch, but he was the only one I sort of suspected. I was surprised to see mashi vote on him too, though. As seen in the log, I wasn't trying to incriminate him, I wanted to push myself to be more active and not safety the entire game. : /
Any vote on Day 2 would have been weak. The main reason (that I can see) as to why latios was lynched was because he was inactive. It's important to note that his inactivity was compared to previous games.
I want to ask this now so that everybody is clear: are we currently targeting less-active players? Or can we find someone of wolf-ness?
My main concern right now is Yugi. His claim as a human due to his misunderstanding is, in my opinion, very suspicious. Several players have made mistakes, but why does making a mistake show that one is human? It seems to me that Yugi is trying to build a cover in this case more than honestly defend himself.
I should also be clear that this has nothing to do with Toby's absence. For all we know, he never even saw his role. It's not much to go on, and I'm open to better suggestions.
^I wasn't targeting him because he was inactive, in fact quite the opposite. He's been EXTREMELY active elsewhere on the forum and even moreso around Skype. As we discussed in that chat, the game we were analyzing in which he was a wolf he also played pretty scarcely, so there's my weak suspicion. I was suspicious of his active-inactivity.
Like I said, it was a weak suspicion. :/
Thread's gone silent... Guys, we have less than a day left in the phase (assuming it ends remotely on time for once). I'm confident that we've hit at least one wolf (odds are in our favor) but we need to keep up activity! Silence and inactivity are what the remaining wolves need to win, we need to push for activity now more than ever. I'll be home and in the chat in about an hour for anyone who can be there, but we need to come up with an actual lynch. (And I am suspicious of mashi, in which I'll discuss more and in detail later)
Activity doesn't have to die just because brawler isn't here! d:
Triple post, here's a log (me & Mashi)

22:47 Olimar12345 finally back, btw
22:48 Olimar12345 you there?
22:52 Mashi Yes.
22:53 Olimar12345 what are you thinking for this phase?
22:53 Mashi tbh
22:53 Mashi I haven't even looked at NSM since days ago lol
22:53 Olimar12345 aw..
22:53 Mashi I'll put in work in a bit though.
22:54 Mashi The FFR TWG's over now.
22:54 Mashi And Day Phase ended today on LLF.
22:54 Mashi You said in the topic that you think we got a hit
22:54 Mashi Who do you think was the hit?
22:54 Olimar12345 Bubbles died last nightphase
22:54 Olimar12345 huh?
22:55 Mashi I mean
22:55 Mashi You mentioned that you thought a Wolf was killed
22:55 Mashi So who do you think is the dead Wolf? lol
22:56 Olimar12345 oh, well I'm not sure, but we must have hit one, at least. I'm also still hoping we were right about Latios
22:56 Mashi We must have?
22:56 Mashi Well, let's say Latios212 was a Wolf
22:56 Mashi Who do you think would be good Partners for him?
22:57 Olimar12345 with 7/15 people dead SURELY one was a wolf. odds are in our favor
22:57 Olimar12345 for Latios?
22:57 Mashi Yes.
22:57 Mashi And not necessarily in our favour.
22:57 Olimar12345 Probably someone that has been really talkative.
22:58 Olimar12345 idk
22:58 Olimar12345 haven't really thought about it
22:59 Mashi Hmm.
22:59 Olimar12345 I've been thinking about how you would be a wolf, though.
22:59 Mashi Well, if you think that I'm a Wolf, it's high unlikely that Latios212 was one.
22:59 Olimar12345 there was that though xD
23:00 Mashi What have I done that you think is suspicious?
23:00 Mashi Oh yeah, while on that note
23:00 Mashi When you, Brawler4Ever, and Dudeman discussed being suspicious of me in the chatlog
23:00 Mashi One of you should have made a formal post summarising the reasons why you were suspicious of me.
23:01 Mashi Because I'm like 99% sure I was the only person that actually read the chatlog.
23:01 Olimar12345 wait, which log?
23:01 Olimar12345 and your vote against Latios that ninja's mine was really odd imo
23:02 Mashi The log Dudeman posted, I think?
23:02 Mashi The one where I said brb and then disappeared forever lol
23:02 Mashi What did you find odd about it?
23:03 Olimar12345 i
23:03 Olimar12345 I'm having a hard time finding that log, it must not have been dudeman that posted it...
23:04 Olimar12345 and the vote
23:04 Olimar12345 well,lemme find THAT log
23:04 Mashi Sorry, Brawler4Ever
23:04 Mashi http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297185#msg297185
23:04 Mashi That's the log I was referring to.
23:04 Olimar12345 I'm not in that chat
23:04 Olimar12345 I left before that happened
23:05 Mashi oops
23:05 Mashi lol
23:05 Mashi Sorry!
23:05 Olimar12345 My post above that was the last I had there lol
23:06 Mashi So what did you find odd about my vote?
23:07 Olimar12345 Idk, you didn't seem that into a Latios lynch before I said I was going to vote, and I had just said that I didn't want to condemn someone if I didn't have to
23:07 Olimar12345 (sorry, slow typer xD )
23:07 Olimar12345 typist*
23:07 Mashi I wasn't into the lynch.
23:07 Mashi Because the game's inactive.
23:08 Mashi And you can't find Wolves when the game is inactive.
23:08 Mashi But I had like 10 minutes left in the Phase.
23:08 Mashi And I didn't want Dudeman lynched anymore.
23:08 Olimar12345 Idk, you just seemed eager to me.
23:08 Mashi I seemed eager?
23:08 Mashi In what way?
23:08 Mashi I seemed eager to delay my vote until there were 10 minutes remaining in the Phase?
23:09 Olimar12345 I didn't think it was that strong a lynch vote, though it was better than nothing : /
23:09 Olimar12345 eager to change it knowing that I'd change mine to him
23:09 Mashi Why would it matter who you were voting for?
23:09 Mashi Let's say I was a Wolf
23:09 Mashi And you voted for Latios212
23:10 Olimar12345 okay
23:10 Mashi I can literally choose to kill anyone I want since, discounting my vote, everyone had 1 vote at the time
23:10 Mashi Which means that if I wanted to save a Wolf Partner or something
23:10 Mashi I don't even need to do anything.
23:10 Mashi I can just vote for whomever.
23:10 Mashi But evidently, that's not what ended up happening.
23:11 Olimar12345 but you couldn't have killed Latios without my vote : /
23:11 Mashi I did discuss with you suspicions and whom I believed were Human, right?
23:11 Mashi Why does it matter that Latios212 was killed?
23:11 Olimar12345 uhh... (looks for log..)
23:12 Mashi Bubbles: 1 (BDS)
23:12 Mashi Dudeman: 2 (Bubbles & Mashi)
23:12 Mashi Olimar12345: 1 (Jub3r7)
23:12 Mashi Brawler4Ever: 1 (Brawler4Ever)
23:12 Mashi Jub3r7: 1 (Latios)
23:12 Mashi BDS: 1 (Dudeman)
23:12 Mashi These were the votes before the vote switch happened.
23:12 Mashi I switched off of Dudeman because I didn't want him lynched anymore.
23:12 Olimar12345 yeah
23:12 Mashi And if I were a Wolf and I wanted a mislynch
23:13 Mashi Assuming Dudeman is Human, I could have kept my vote there
23:13 Mashi Or I could have switched to literally anyone else
23:13 Mashi And they would be lynched with a whopping two votes.
23:13 Olimar12345 yeah, but to the actives in the chat it would have looked pretty human to go with the flow
23:14 Olimar12345 and the active ppl's opinions are more important rn : /
23:14 Olimar12345 everything happened too quickly
23:14 Olimar12345 it just didn't seem right.
23:16 Mashi Yes, generally things are rushed when lynches are decided at the last minute while everyone is inactive.
23:17 Mashi Olimar12345, tell me this though
23:17 Olimar12345 that's why I don't want to wait again lol
23:17 Mashi If I were a Wolf, what motive do I have to removing my vote off of Dudeman in an inactive game?
23:18 Olimar12345 It would be a display of activity towards those who saw it.
23:18 Olimar12345 teamwork
23:18 Olimar12345 humanity
23:18 Mashi Why would I care about that in an inactive game?
23:19 Mashi And why do you assume that my intentions are those of a Wolf rather than those of a Human?
23:19 Olimar12345 becasue there are less people who can suspect you
23:19 Olimar12345 I don't know
23:22 Olimar12345 I'm not that experienced of a TWG-er, but in the past you've always been the hardest person to read, or the one that surprises me the most.
23:22 Olimar12345 Maybe subconsciously I'm just taking extra precautions...
23:23 Mashi I guess I can understand that but
23:23 Mashi If I'm ever lynched, it shouldn't be because people are afraid of me
23:23 Mashi It should be because someone was clever and deductive enough to figure out that I was a Wolf.
23:23 Mashi And to add to that
23:24 Mashi NSM TWG can't operate if the NSMers themselves can't be active
23:24 Mashi I could work to entice people to be active and get people in here
23:24 Mashi But if I'm the only factor keeping people into being active on NSM, then NSM TWG isn't really self-sustaining.
23:24 Olimar12345 true.
23:26 Mashi Will you be here 10 minutes from now?
23:26 Olimar12345 maybe, why?
23:26 Olimar12345 (I.ve had a request to check out an arrangement for someone...)
23:27 Mashi Because I'm actually distracted and watching an anime with a friend right now lol
23:27 Mashi And I was planning on posting a suspicion list when we finish in ~10 minutes.
23:27 Olimar12345 i'll hang around then.
23:28 Mashi Hype!!!
tl;dr, me suspicious of mashi
Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 11, 2015, 09:30:08 PMMy main concern right now is Yugi. His claim as a human due to his misunderstanding is, in my opinion, very suspicious. Several players have made mistakes, but why does making a mistake show that one is human? It seems to me that Yugi is trying to build a cover in this case more than honestly defend himself.
The logic he's following is that a Wolf wouldn't unintentionally mistaken the Piercing as a second wolfing, since they would generally have a good idea of what their powers are. I don't think it's necessarily alignment indicative in this case, since Yugi had just joined the game and could have misinterpreted a power as a Wolf, however. I think his excitement at the start of the Phase he entered might reflect a Human excited to trying to catch Wolves, however.
Like I said, it's an incredibly weak reason and I'm open to suggestions.
I'll try to write a longer post concerning my thoughts. It's difficult to read/write/quote on a phone. So my thoughts have been pretty concise.
Also Olimar, I meant inactive in TWG. You're right about latios being active elsewhere, which is incredibly strange. Sorry if my comment came out in the wrong way.

Quote from: Mashi on July 06, 2015, 04:18:59 PMI think NocturneOfShadow's being contributive early on is a good sign and I'm willing to give him a Human lean for it, but it's anomalous behaviour regardless.
I mentioned before that I considered there to be a friendship between mashi and noc. This is the reason for it. In a conversation between me and dudeman, we discussed this behavior. Forgot which one. Sorry. Apparently, it's common in the TWG community.
My retort is that it can be used by wolves to gently lift another. If, for example, we believe that mashi is human and backs noc, then we can believe that noc has a much better chance of being human. When in reality they're both wolves. That's just how I see it, and I'm not sure how stable this reasoning is. To me, it feels wrong. But that may just be my inexperience talking.
More formal post about mashi suspicions:
My mashi suspicions go back to the Latios lynch. As already said, him, dudeman and I were comparing his past playing styles in the chat and came up with some similarities. Being that I had no other suspicions at the time, and that no one else had voted on him, I decided to place my vote on him (attempting to get more into the game, I was trying not to lazily safety-vote again). Since it wasn't that strong of a suspicion to go on (having little evidence), I didn't feel good about incriminating him last second, so I mentioned that I was only glad to vote on him since he had no other votes (all of this seen in the log below).
Spoiler
19:31 Mashi I'm thinkinggg
19:31 Mashi Latios212 and Maelstrom right now
19:31 Mashi sry brb quickly
19:32 Olimar12345 Latios is pretty active elsewhere, it is kind of odd that he's not participating as much
19:32 Olimar12345 or, at least I expected to see more from him.
19:32 Dudeman42 True. Last game he was human and really active. I'm surprised.
19:33 Dudeman42 He was the most active player next to me.
19:33 Olimar12345 was he?
19:33 Dudeman42 Yeah. He was the miller with a death vigi.
19:34 Olimar12345 has he been a wolf in a past game?
19:34 Dudeman42 Not sure...
19:34 Olimar12345 maybe we can compare his playing styles
19:34 Dudeman42 I'll check.
19:35 Olimar12345 i'm checking too...
19:36 Dudeman42 Ah!
19:36 Dudeman42 TWG 76.
19:36 Olimar12345 yep- wolf painter
19:38 Dudeman42 Ooo, it's looking a bit similar. Short posts making an accusation with little explanation. I'm only a few pages in...
19:38 Olimar12345 13 posts in 18 pafes
19:39 Dudeman42 Lemme look at some of his human games...
19:40 Mashi Back.
19:40 Mashi Latios212, Maelstrom, BlackDragonSlayer, Bubbles, Yugi
19:41 Mashi I think the 2 or 3 of the Wolves are within those 5.
19:41 Olimar12345 Yo mashi, remember anything in particular about Latios' participation in TWG 76?
19:41 Olimar12345 looks lke you were the host
19:41 Mashi Uhh
19:42 Mashi What was the title?
19:42 Mashi nvm
19:42 Mashi Okay, so
19:42 Mashi Latios212 was playing his first or second game
19:42 Mashi And he was Wolf Partners with Bird
19:42 Mashi And I think he was pretty active, but people became suspicious of him early on in the game.
19:42 Mashi I think due to a Red seering?
19:43 Mashi No, he wasn't seered.
19:43 Olimar12345 that's unlucky.
19:43 Mashi But others were seered and he was suspected through process of elimination and probably the tone of his posts.
19:43 Dudeman42 I'm looking through TWG 78 where he was a human. He's literally posted nothing.
19:43 Dudeman42 In about 10 pages.
19:43 Olimar12345 Well, that seems to be the only game in which he was been a wolf before
19:44 Olimar12345 oh? 10 pages...
19:44 Olimar12345 was he not replaced?
19:44 Dudeman42 Make that 14 pages.
19:44 Dudeman42 Oh wait, he died and I missed it
19:44 Dudeman42 XD
19:44 Dudeman42 my bad
19:45 Olimar12345 it looks like he was wolf'd night 1
19:45 Olimar12345 ninjad
19:45 Mashi lol
19:45 Dudeman42 Yeah, there it is. Whoops.
19:45 Dudeman42 Gotta go to dinner; might be back?
19:45 Olimar12345 I just checked the postgame lol
19:45 Olimar12345 I'll be here
19:46 Mashi Dudeman, vote someone you're suspicious of first if you haven't already.
19:46 Olimar12345 oh shit, phase ends in 15 minutes, right?
19:47 Mashi Yeah.
19:48 Mashi Oh, Dudeman voted already lol
19:48 Olimar12345 I only have vague latios suspicions, I don't want to incriminate him too quickly...
19:48 Olimar12345 oh wait no one else voted for him
19:49 Olimar12345 I guess that's better than nothing : /
Dudeman still seemed set with BDS though, but Mashi surprised me when he Ninjad my vote-post with a Latios vote of his own. After he voted, he promptly went AFK before I could confront him about it:
Spoiler
19:51 Mashi idk
19:51 Olimar12345 "stops post"
19:51 Olimar12345 what?
19:51 Mashi Oh
19:51 Mashi No, vote Latios212 if you want
19:51 Mashi I'm trying to decide for myself, lol
19:51 Mashi I don't want Dudeman lynched.
19:52 Mashi My vote was just to pressure him and I got what I wanted.
19:54 Mashi Voted.
19:55 Mashi brb again
19:55 Olimar12345 now my vote looks like I copied you! : O
He didn't seem to share the suspicion or interest as much as dudeman and I had. He also knew that I was interested in voting on someone that didn't already have a vote. Out of time with no other suspicions, I kind of just let it happen, hoping we were right. Looking back on it, it seems that he might have only switched his vote as a mild-bandwagon, go-with-the-flow-of-the-chat route to take. As he said, as a wolf, he could have voted for anyone since there were enough single votes to control a mislynch. Switching to Latios abruptly and unannounced in the chat just didn't sit well with me...
the more tired I get, the less sense this makes and the less I can think straight about the matter, so I apologize if this makes no sense xD I'll pick this back up in the morning, hopefully.
Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 08, 2015, 09:07:36 PMYeah, I never understood [davy's] reasoning behind being suspicious of Mashi. Something along the lines of davy saying "I am least certain of [Mashi's] humanity," but the subject was soon changed and didn't come up again. I was suspicious of Mashi because of a subtle friendship, per se, with NoS. They repeatedly complimented each other throughout the game. However, other players, like Latios, did the same with other players. So I believe that I was overthinking their "friendship." Possibly. I don't see it as a viable enough reason to pursue Mashi's lynching, that's for sure.
Hypothetically speaking, why would a wolf care about who is lynched, as long as it's not another wolf?
If anything, mashi's post feels like a bandwagon. He says he's going through a "process of elimination" and agrees with what was said in the chat log. This happens near the end of Day 2, when latios has very little time to defend himself. This, to me, gives me the appearance of a dirty move. Granted, it was inspired by Olimar and dudeman's conversation. And Olimar also cast a vote for latios, which he says is unrelated to mashi's.
Also note that I have not changed my vote from Yugi. However, I am willing to change my vote before the Day ends. My phone is about to die. Tomorrow morning (6-8 hours from now) I will try to write a post on the problem that I see with mashi's opinion on an alliance. I will be first to say, though, that he had some good points about why an alliance would be a risky endeavor.

I read the part of the log where you expressed your suspicion of me, I was waiting for you to make a post. It's good to get your thoughts in the open and generally better to post them in a well thought post than lost in a chatlog.
Wolves saying they think other Wolves are Human is definitely a potential Wolf strategy, but you can't assume that it's always the case; the other three possibilities are Wolves defending Humans, Humans defending Wolves, and Humans defending Humans. For example, I noted that I believed you were Human a few times in the thread
And since you asked in the chatlog; yes, naming who you think is Human is generally a good strategy. If you feel like certain Players are Human, you can focus on the Players you're unsure of when you decide to pursue a suspicion and make a lynch.
If you recall, I urged you to pressure NocturneOfShadow since you were suspicious of him. When people started suspecting you, I posted stating that I was surprised and believed you were Human yourself. Do you think I would have done any of that if NocturneOfShadow were my Partner?

I was the person in the chat who stated that I wished to take the lynch off of Dudeman. And considering that the Day Phase was ending promptly and I was preoccupied with something (you'll notice that I brbed multiple times that day), I didn't really have time to comment to you as I would want.
QuoteHe also knew that I was interested in voting on someone that didn't already have a vote. Out of time with no other suspicions, I kind of just let it happen, hoping we were right. Looking back on it, it seems that he might have only switched his vote as a mild-bandwagon, go-with-the-flow-of-the-chat route to take. As he said, as a wolf, he could have voted for anyone since there were enough single votes to control a mislynch. Switching to Latios abruptly and unannounced in the chat just didn't sit well with me...
Again, you should be voting for people you want lynched; if you vote for someone you don't want lynched, you're wasting your vote.
How was my vote abrupt or unannounced? Read the log again! Not only did I state that I was thinking of lynching between Latios212 and maelstrom, but I also made a list of 5 Players I believed at least 2 Wolves were in.
Just going to say, the forum is refusing to load for me 99% of the time, so I'll need to be replaced, if you don't want inactivity
Quote from: Mashi on July 13, 2015, 12:12:16 AMI read the part of the log where you expressed your suspicion of me, I was waiting for you to make a post. It's good to get your thoughts in the open and generally better to post them in a well thought post than lost in a chatlog.
...
If you recall, I urged you to pressure NocturneOfShadow since you were suspicious of him. When people started suspecting you, I posted stating that I was surprised and believed you were Human yourself. Do you think I would have done any of that if NocturneOfShadow were my Partner?
Right. Sorry about that. I've been crazy busy lately and I have had the time to make a "clean" accusation. This is one main reasonwhy you don't have my vote.
Concerning noc, I still believe him to be a wolf. But I might entirely wrong. You, as a potential wolf, wouldn't care if he was lynched. So I'm still open to the idea that i was wrong about noc, although I'm not a particular fan of the idea.
I promised a text wall, but I don't have a text wall. My phone didn't charge and now I'm packing to go home. So sorry about that as well.
Quote from: Mashi on July 10, 2015, 01:55:41 PMI had presumed that SlowPokemon made the piercing a one-use active (rather than passive) ability on the Wolves's side, but too late to change it now, so oh well. If that's the case, then the Guardian actually may as well be used as an alliance head, but it might be too late for that. Sorry, davy! That was my fault.
One question, though, mashi: why would a passive flare gun be weaker than an active Flare Gun? With an active Flare Gun (not automatic) the wolves might hit a target that wasn't guarded and waste their ability. But a passive ability would guarantee that they hit their target, even if guarded, with no extra work on their own. I just want to know your thought process on that.
To be fair, I also thought that the Flare Gun was an activated ability, not as passive one. But SP's revelation led me to believe that this was an upgrade to the ability, not a downgrade. So I'm curious about what you meant earlier.
Quote from: Yugi on July 13, 2015, 12:42:36 AMJust going to say, the forum is refusing to load for me 99% of the time, so I'll need to be replaced, if you don't want inactivity
I took a leaf out of your book, mashi. I only voted for Yugi to get a conversation going, but it seems to have backfired. Now Yugi is going to potentially die by a majority of one because I don't have any other leads currently. And in light of having no other targets, I believe that claiming human due to a misunderstanding is worthy of death, if the alternative is having nobody else to lynch.
Any help from the community would be appreciated. :)
Also, what happens in a tie? Or if nobody is voted on? Is it then random as to whom gets lynched?
BlackDragonSlayer - I mentioned Day 1 that I didn't like this post (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg296335#msg296335), particularly the language expressing that the wolfing was unexpected.
Dudeman - Spoke to him in the chat Day 2; I think he's Human for the two reasons being that he seemed disinterested in self-preservation (Wolves generally care about that most) and because he remained the top lynch candidate with 2 votes for practically the entire Day Phase. I would have figured his Wolf Partners push another wagon sometime, if he had any.
Maelstrom - His posting asking if fank009 knew there was no vigi (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg296356#msg296356) comes off as slightly Human to me; it reflects a Human mindset to wonder why the wolfing was made and ask follow-up questions towards the reasoning why he might have.
Brawler4Ever - He's felt Human to me in the chat Day 1. I think the fact that a wagon developed so quickly on him Day 1 is telling, particularly that he's probably Human.
Olimar12345 - His suspicion of me feels like it's piggybacking on that of Dudeman and Brawler4Ever to me. Similarly, he quickly bandwagoned a Brawler4Ever vote Day 1 and I didn't like that either. I'm willing to overlook my suspicion of him, however, because I feel like Latios212 might have been a successful Wolf hit.
Dude - I think he's Human solely because his disinterest seems to stem from laziness in finding Wolves than anything (plus, he willingly got a Phantom), if his message to me at the end of the Day Phase is of any indication.
Jub3r7 - I don't know why I didn't notice before, but, this sounds forced (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg296376#msg296376). That aside, contribute more!!!
Yugi - No opinion of him. He misinterpreted a Wolf Mechanic, but I can't give him a Human lean for that since he had just entered the game and may not have yet had time to catch up with his Partners.

I meant exactly what you do. I'm not sure where you get the impression that I implied a passive was weaker than an active, but in my post stating that I thought the ability was one-use active, it basically made the Guardian useless (it would be too difficult, or cumbersome rather, for me to calculate, but I think the chances of two successful guards in one game is about 0.5%, if not even less than) and effectively a Herring.
Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 13, 2015, 10:46:21 AMAlso, what happens in a tie? Or if nobody is voted on? Is it then random as to whom gets lynched?
Oh, oops, I thought I answered this.
If nobody's voted, it's a KitB between all Players in the game.
If there's a tie for most votes, it's a random lynch among those tied.
Day 1:
I vote for BlackDragonSlayer
NocturneOfShadow votes for Brawler4Ever
Jub3r7 votes for NocturneOfShadow
Dude safeties on himself
Brawler4Ever votes for NocturneOfShadow
Dudeman votes for Brawler4Ever
Olimar12345 votes for Brawler4Ever
FireArrow votes for Latios212
I vote for Dudeman
BlackDragonSlayer votes for FireArrow
Dude votes for Toby/Yugi
davy votes for NocturneOfShadow
Dudeman votes for NocturneOfShadow
maelstrom votes for NocturneOfShadow
Olimar12345 safeties on himself
Day 2:
BlackDragonSlayer votes for Bubbles
Bubbles votes for Dudeman
Jub3r7 votes for Olimar12345
Brawler4Ever safeties on himself
I vote for Dudeman
Latios212 votes for Jub3r7
Dudeman votes for BlackDragonSlayer
I vote for Latios212
Olimar12345 votes for Latios212
I've been ruminating over it and I take back what I said about Olimar12345 not being suspicious for his Latios212 vote; I realize now why his mannerisms are bothering me.
He votes for Latios212 without the intention to lynch him and becomes suspicious of me because I actually went through with the lynch. This type of thinking would make some sense if the two of them were Wolf Partners and Olimar12345 was trying to distance himself from Latios212. It might also explain why Latios212 contacted Olimar12345 right at the lynch. It would also be a fair explanation towards why Olimar12345 was so awkward in the chat with respect to trying to suspect Latios212 and me at the same time. It would also explain why he feels the need to grasp for straws in his accusations of me.
Assuming I'm correct, I think a good potential Partner for Olimar12345 and Latios212 might be Yugi or BlackDragonSlayer. For the time being though, I'll vote Olimar12345.
Your argument works both ways, though. I could have easily changed my vote as well to steer a mislynch if I didn't want Latios to die. : /

Unless you were nervous about people associating you with Latios212 if the lynch with to him. The difference between you and me is that I declared intent on voting for Latios212 or maelstrom, whereas you walked around the issue. You've already mentioned that the reason you voted him but didn't want him lynched, so it doesn't seem to me that you cared much about who was lynched, so long as Latios212 wasn't the majority lynch. In the chat, you had weird reservations with suspecting him, mentioning that you didn't want to "incriminate him too quickly" despite the Day Phase ending and the majority lynch vote being on a Player whom I felt was Human and whom you hadn't commented on. You didn't seem to vote as if you wanted to lynch a Wolf, but simply because you wanted to get a vote out of the way.
Even if Latios212 isn't a Wolf, it doesn't really justify the awkward behavior you've exhibited thus far. With your abrupt bandwagon vote Day 1 and general aloofness (voting for someone and complaining about their being lynched, your suspicion of me, etc.), I think you being a Wolf is highly potential now.
You are overthinking it. I didn't want to hastily incriminate anyone because I had been inactive, and didn't want to screw us over with an unjust vote. Hell, you never did explain why you thought Latios and Maelstrom were such good lynch candidates.
In the chat!
Brawler4Ever, why have you been referring to the Piercing as a Flare Gun?
I think he's referring to how in order to fit the Pokémon X & Y theme, I justified the piercing as Team Flare's prototype of the Ultimate Weapon.
Quote from: Olimar12345 on July 13, 2015, 12:24:03 PMHell, you never did explain why you thought Latios and Maelstrom were such good lynch candidates.
This is something I'd like to know.
I've read most of the whole mashi vs olimar thing, and I'm not entirely sure what to think.
Both of them voted for Latios, despite knowing that two votes would likely kill them, yet both knew the other was going to vote for Latios.
Mashi claims he didn't want to lynch dudeman anymore, while Olimar claims he didn't want a "boring safety."
Yes, it would have been a 7 way kitb if either one wouldn't have voted for Latios, but both agreed that the suspicion against Latios was weak at best, iirc. Mashi could have done a vote on someone other than dudeman, or vote for no one. Olimar could have done the same (basicly).
What would be so bad about a kitb? If you have no strong suspicions, a shot in the dark can help. If a wolf partner was included in the kitb votes, it would be favorable to shove the lynch onto Latios. Which one is the wolf? Idk.
It is worth mentioning that Olimar was included in the near-kitb vote, while Mashi was not. And that Olimar was also the second one to vote. (But also the first one to announce his intentions)
le Chat log:
Spoiler
14:24 *** Olimar12345 joined #twg
14:24 Olimar12345 So you /are/ here
14:26 Mashi Yes.
14:26 Mashi Now that I've gotten your attention!
14:26 Olimar12345 so basically your whole rebutal post to my light suspicion was that you suggested Latios before we looked into him, it would seem
14:26 Mashi Whom are you suspicious of?
14:26 Olimar12345 You, for one.
14:26 Mashi Why?
14:27 Olimar12345 (well, tbh you and brawler are the only two actually playing, and I think brawler looks more human than you)
14:27 Mashi That's not a reason for being suspicious of me.
14:27 Mashi Why are you suspicious of me over everyone else in the game?
14:30 Olimar12345 I was saying that having a suspicion on a member solely based on activity isn't a suspicion worth having : /
14:30 Olimar12345 Idk, you seem still so flustered that I suspected you
14:30 Olimar12345 you've tripled your posting since then, too
14:31 Olimar12345 (and I didn't even vote on you lol)
14:31 Mashi I seem flustered for triple posting?
14:31 Mashi You realise that Brawler4Ever's done that a bunch of times already, correct?
14:31 Olimar12345 all within 15 minutes of eachother : /
14:31 Mashi Yes.
14:32 Mashi Tell me how that implies I'm flustered.
14:32 Mashi I've added new content in each post and kept them distinct from each other.
14:32 Mashi And I think it was a quadruple post btw lol
14:32 Mashi First post was a suspicion list, next two were answered questions, fourth was a vote count.
14:32 Olimar12345 (missed the page turn lol)
14:33 Mashi Oh, and a fifth was a vote on you too, I think.
14:33 Mashi Further still, why would you even think I have reason to feel flustered?
14:33 Mashi There's a vote on Yugi and that's all that's happened so far.
14:35 Olimar12345 you appear pretty human to me, but like I said with the history of games I've played with you, I'm just being cautios : /
14:36 Mashi When I asked you whom you were suspicious of, you responded me.
14:36 Olimar12345 yez
14:36 Mashi Why do I seem Human to you?
14:39 Mashi Olimar12345
14:43 Olimar12345 sorry, I'm here
14:43 Olimar12345 subs things in another chat
14:44 Olimar12345 anyway, which question are you asking first?
14:44 Olimar12345 I see seversl
14:44 Olimar12345 several*
14:44 Mashi All of them, technically, but just answer the last one for now.
14:44 Olimar12345 "Why do I seem Human to you?"
14:45 Olimar12345 (and I said first >.< )
14:45 Mashi Yes.
14:45 Mashi What other chat were you doing subs things in?
14:47 Olimar12345 Well, you ALWAYS look human to me. You do a good job of presenting yourself logically and covering tracks, so the more active I got, the more I thought to keep an eye on you, just in case. Then the Latios thing happened and red flags went off and I wanted to see what you'd say if I confronted you/posted about it
14:48 Olimar12345 and it was one of the updated chats in skype.
14:48 Olimar12345 (geeze, one question at a time man xD )
14:48 Mashi Okay; whom do you want lynched this Phase then?
14:51 Olimar12345 updater chats* I don't know yet. There are still too many inactives... I need to read through the topic again, but I'd like to see more from Jub/dude/bds.
14:51 Mashi Why not Yugi?
14:52 Olimar12345 but the way you put it, you and I /do/ look like perfect wolf partners xD
14:52 Mashi Not at all.
14:52 Olimar12345 Idk, he hasn't posted that much, I'll have to go back and reread his posts
14:52 Olimar12345 well not now lol
14:52 Mashi There would be no point in us chatting with each other so frequently one-on-one if we were Partners.
14:52 Mashi Yugi has posted maybe 2 or 3 posts.
14:53 Mashi And Toby (whom he replaced) never posted at all.
14:53 Olimar12345 so frequently? this is the second time
14:53 Mashi Wrong choice of word then, but my point remains.
14:53 Olimar12345 and I was speaking from an ousider's perspective, not our own
14:54 Olimar12345 ofc WE know we're not wolf partners
14:54 Mashi An outsider's perspective would be very silly to suspect us both as Wolves.
14:54 Olimar12345 "well not now lol"
14:54 Mashi Regardless
14:54 Mashi It's odd that you somehow neglected to name Yugi among the inactives
14:55 Mashi He even explicitly stated in the thread that he would need to be replaced.
14:55 Olimar12345 haven't gotten there yet...rereading posts
14:57 Olimar12345 hm, I guess yugi just seems really uninteresting atm. And it is hard to base a suspicion on inactivity.
14:58 Mashi Whom do you want lynched most of the inactives?
14:58 Olimar12345 but yeah, he did need a replacement probably.
14:58 Olimar12345 I wonder if he has an important role or something
14:59 Mashi Why do you wonder if Yugi has an important Role and not any one of the other inactives?
15:00 Olimar12345 because he asked for a replacement. Maybe he wants the game to be able to continue, idk
15:00 Olimar12345 I ws just wondering
15:00 Olimar12345 the other inactives aren't asking for replacements
15:01 Mashi The other inactives at least weren't as inactive as him.
15:01 Mashi I think the fact that he asked for a replacement stems more from being incapable of accessing NSM than anything else.
15:01 Olimar12345 okay, so then why is that suspicious?
15:02 Mashi It isn't, I just think you two are Partners because you seem to be making excuses not to lynch him.
15:02 Olimar12345 I didn't say I wouldn't lynch him, I just have no reason to suspect him
15:03 Olimar12345 he's made like three posts
15:03 Mashi You didn't mention him in your original mention of inactives and you seem to also be attempting to steer away from a lynch of him by 'worrying' that he's a Special Role.
15:03 Olimar12345 and it would be an inactive-lynch, which is a weak lynch
15:03 Mashi An inactive lynch isn't really a weak lynch when the entire game's inactive.
15:03 Olimar12345 like you said, he was MUCH more inactive
15:04 Olimar12345 and I said: "but I'd like to see more from Jub/dude/bds."
15:04 Mashi Whom do you want lynched?
15:04 Mashi Just give me a name or names of anyone you're okay with seeing eliminated this Day Phase.
15:05 Olimar12345 these players (with the exception of dude) have been much more active than Yugy/toby, so naturally I would like them to come back.
15:05 Olimar12345 grah too slow at typig >.<
15:06 Olimar12345 \well now yugi doesnt seem to bad, likie you said, he's been so inactive I guess it wouldn't change the game much if he weren't here : /
15:06 Olimar12345 This is hard, I don't have any strong leads
15:06 Mashi I'm fine with a Yugi lynch.
15:07 Olimar12345 well I guess a yugi lynch would be better than a KITB
15:08 Olimar12345 I would be fine with lynching him, but it would strictly be because of inactivity : /
15:09 Mashi Do you then disagree with Brawler4Ever point about him?
15:10 Olimar12345 which post?
15:11 Mashi The post he voted Yugi in.
15:11 Mashi Regarding his mistake about the Piercing.
15:14 Olimar12345 his mistake seems pretty understandable to me. FA made a mistake, and we didn't lynch him. Who knows, he might have done it just to appear human, but there isn't much to go by other than that : /
15:14 Olimar12345 not to mention, slow did a good job at making this game confusing in the op
15:14 Mashi Olimar12345, do you know what a Flare Gun is?
15:15 Olimar12345 no
15:15 Mashi Hmm.
15:15 Mashi I noticed that Brawler4Ever was referring to the Piercing as a Flare Gun.
15:15 Olimar12345 you guys were mentioning it a bit, thoguh
15:15 Mashi I didn't make note of it before because I thought it was some flavour name in the first post.
15:15 Mashi But I can't find the name anywhere.
15:16 Olimar12345 maybe that's what he meant?
15:16 Mashi Why would he be referring to it as a Flare Gun and not a Piercing?
15:16 Olimar12345 I have no idea
15:16 Olimar12345 is that another twg mechanic or something?
15:16 Mashi No.
15:17 Olimar12345 well that would have been my guess : /
15:17 Mashi The Mechanic name is called a "Piercing" or "Strongman Kill."
15:17 Olimar12345 do you know?
15:17 Olimar12345 (ninjad)
15:17 Mashi I'm wondering if the Wolf PM referred to the Piercing as a Flare Gun.
15:17 Olimar12345 : O
15:18 Olimar12345 has anyone else called it a flare gun?
15:18 Mashi No.
15:19 Olimar12345 is it called that on any other forum?
15:19 Mashi My Internet has only two bars.
15:19 Olimar12345 it def. looks like that's what he meand
15:19 Olimar12345 meant*
15:19 Mashi No, it isn't.
15:20 Mashi Is NSM being really slow for you too?
15:20 Olimar12345 not particularly.
15:23 Olimar12345 Do you agree with Brawler on a Yugi lynch?
15:26 Mashi I did when my top suspect was you.
15:26 Mashi But now I want him to explain the Flare Gun thing.
15:28 Olimar12345 Do you have any other urgent questions for me? Because I have to get going soon : /
15:29 Mashi No, you can go now, sorry for keeping you.
15:29 Mashi Good luck with whatever it is you need to attend too though!
15:30 Olimar12345 at this point, I'll either vote yugi or safety, unless this Brawler thing turns into something, or I find a better option not involving inactives xD
15:30 Olimar12345 bye!
Thanks, SlowPokemon. I was figuring that too, but I figured I may as well ask.
maelstrom, I just looked at the Player list and thought you two might make good Partners for people in the thread. Your plays seems a bit under the radar to me and Latios212 had stated in the thread a couple of times that he was going to be active only to show up with a random vote and then leave. I was originally thinking of adding Doodle as a potential lynch candidate, but for reasons explained in my suspicion list, I felt he was Human.
Also, a KitB is bad (particularly in our previous Day Phase) because it's more likely to kill a Wolf than a Human. Wolves are going to be okay with KitBs if none of them are in serious danger.

There is something seriously wrong with this statement.
You do have a point. I have been under the radar recently. Latios has been playing pretty sporadically. It kind of makes sense to link the two together. For some reason, I just haven't felt that engaged in this TWG. So far, it's just basically been opinions thrown around by the same few players with little regard to anyone else. I'm not entirely sure I care that much about the outcome of this game anymore.
Bleh, the game is definitely stalling. The only person who I can think to vote for is Olimar (for his reasoning behind the Latios lynch, which I found to be a bit "rushed" or to establish a dominant lynch so there wasn't a giant KitB, implying at least one of his partners was at risk of being lynched; the lack of cardflips in this game certainly doesn't help my decision).
Mashi: you're right. My question on your standing on the alliance makes no sense. I just wanted to know where you stood on the subject, but it didn't come out anywhere near where I wanted to. Also, you had answered my question on the kitb, but I wasn't sure if that reflected a nonvote as well. Thank you!
Flare Gun: it's more fun to write than "Ultimate Weapon." Nobody seemed concerned about it before, so I just kept using it. I can use "the Piercing" if that would be preferred; I've never played a game with this mechanic before. :P
Just a thought: latios was active elsewhere but not here. What if he did that intentionally? He gets lynched, and then there's no vigi on the next night. I'm considering the possibility that he was the vigi. However, it might just be a coincidence.
Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 13, 2015, 03:30:53 PMJust a thought: latios was active elsewhere but not here. What if he did that intentionally?
That was the strategy Olimar and I were leaning on for our suspicions against Latios. And while him being the vigi could be possible, there's just as good a chance that davy or FireArrow were the vigi, as noted previously.
I'm gonna follow through on my suspicions finally and vote
Mashi. His argument not to have an alliance stemmed (before the statistcs) from the statement "this isn't an alliance game." Who cares? That's for the specials to decide. He's been very logical apart from that, but I agree with Mael: that sentence about KitB's has something very weird behind it. That and

I rest my case.
I'm still deciding on where to place my vote, but for now here's a current count:
Yugi: 1 (Brawler4Ever)
Olimar12345: 2 (Mashi & BDS)

Yes, because I helped SlowPokemon design it and didn't want us to go through with a strategy (i.e. forming an alliance) that should have been objectively detrimental for the Human Team.
Don't make random claims about statements being weird without providing your reasoning why. I don't know what could possibly be weird about a factual statement I made about KitBs; if there's a KitB among many Humans, a Wolf isn't going to care about it. If there's a KitB and a Wolf is likely to die, the Wolf Partners are likelier to switch their votes.
You were inactive and I wanted to pressure you to be active. If you're afraid of being lynched, you should have taken the vote seriously and responded. And considering that you did, the pressure worked.
Dudeman, your suspicion of me arises purely from strategy discussion and, unless you're being silly, I think it's a result of confirmation bias. If I were a Wolf, why did I decide to switch my vote off of you? Why did I decide to wolf Bubbles, who was reading me as Human? Why did I decide to argue with davy about setting up an alliance if I believed that it was detrimental to the Human Team at the time?
Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 13, 2015, 03:30:53 PMJust a thought: latios was active elsewhere but not here. What if he did that intentionally? He gets lynched, and then there's no vigi on the next night. I'm considering the possibility that he was the vigi. However, it might just be a coincidence.
fank009 and FireArrow are both potential Vigi candidates. It's also possible that the Vigi simply didn't vigi last Night Phase.
Quote from: Olimar12345 on July 13, 2015, 04:21:15 PMI'm still deciding on where to place my vote, but for now here's a current count:
Yugi: 1 (Brawler4Ever)
Olimar12345: 2 (Mashi & BDS)
Mashi: 1 (Dudeman)
You're currently the leading wagon, so you have to either vote me or Yugi or convince enough people to lynch someone else.
Quote from: Mashi on July 13, 2015, 01:56:38 PMAlso, a KitB is bad (particularly in our previous Day Phase) because it's more likely to kill a Wolf than a Human.
Mashi, read this sentence again.
Quote from: Maelstrom on July 13, 2015, 04:27:51 PMMashi, read this sentence again.
Oh, whoops. I accidentally switched the words Wolf and Human, if it weren't evident.

Quote from: Maelstrom on July 13, 2015, 04:27:51 PMMashi, read this sentence again.
^lol, I think you wrote that backwards, mashi. We're actually
trying to kill wolves, in case you haven't noticed xD
Quote from: Mashi on July 13, 2015, 04:26:34 PMYou're currently the leading wagon, so you have to either vote me or Yugi or convince enough people to lynch someone else.
I don't have to "convince" anyone. If I seem like the best option, then so be it. I've got no quote or chat log up my sleeve that'll magically confirm my humanity. I've contributed and done my part for our team.

Doesn't change the fact that you still cast a vote without intention to lynch. And sure, who wouldn't be afraid of being lynched when they take the game seriously? Plus I'm among a larger pool of people who were also inactive. Dude. Latios. Maelstrom to an extent. And I did take the vote seriously; that's why I joined that chat session and posted saying there hasn't been much to say.
QuoteDudeman, your suspicion of me arises purely from strategy discussion and, unless you're being silly, I think it's a result of confirmation bias. If I were a Wolf, why did I decide to switch my vote off of you?
I see it that you switched the vote because it would have been suspicious if you didn't. I posted and showed up actively in the chat, which is what you pressured me to do. What other reason would you have had to keep the vote then? You wanted to hear from me, and you did.
QuoteWhy did I decide to wolf Bubbles, who was reading me as Human?
Could you direct me to that? I looked through the thread but probably missed something.
QuoteWhy did I decide to argue with davy about setting up an alliance if I believed that it was detrimental to the Human Team at the time?
Sure, it would have been detrimental to the Humans, but it would be detrimental to the wolves if it had formed successfully. I'm gonna point out that two of your first three points were "not an alliance game" and "it kills activity." And the risks you pointed out are risks that exist with any alliance.
Gonna finish by saying that I'm fickle enough to change my vote before phase end if Mashi has convincing responses to these, which he certainly will given his experience.
ninja'd x1
Also I'm in the chat if people wanna talk.
Please post any relevant chat logs as they come. It seems like it's a case between mashi and Olimar, and day ends in just over an hour.
Mashi* and Olimar. Phone didn't do caps for whatever reason.
I really can't decide between Mashi or Olimar.
I really think one is a wolf, but I don't know which.
Mashi did act kind of strange with Latios and all, but he's been fairly consistent. Olimar, on the other had, after reading some early posts, appears to be a little different from the early game. (Still bothered by that random d1 bandwagon post) I'm not sure if he put more time into it, or got some info, but something feels a little different.
Any final thoughts?
Any more votes?
I hate to be the one to decide it.......
Safety on Me (Mael) in case I don't get back in to change it.
Three minutes left.....
I hate making snap decisions.......
Going to go with Mashi because dudeman and I'm out of time
Quite frankly, I think that they're both human. I decided to maintain my vote on Yugi. I'll try again on the next Day if nothing else comes up. Or are we getting him a replacement? Because that would be under "something coming up."
I've been on record several times that I'm suspicious of Mashi. However, I've come to realize (mostly in my conversation with dudeman) that much of my suspicion has been due to my own inexperience. Mashi has, for the most part, been honest and open in his thoughts and actions. While I don't believe that this is enough for me to completely trust him, it's not little enough that I should vote for him to be lynched. If that makes sense. I'm pretty sure that that makes no sense, but I'm going with it anyway.
I can say the same thing for Olimar. I believe that today's lynch will end in a human death.
Olimar12345. This time my runner up is Maelstrom??
Or maybe not. I wonder how many human blues are still alive.
Quote from: Jub3r7 on July 13, 2015, 06:39:38 PMOlimar12345. This time my runner up is Maelstrom??
Where did this come from? :o
Let me be more clear: Why did you vote for someone without a reason? Why did you vote for Olimar? In terms of this discussion, why did you not vote for Mashi? And why did you wait until the last minute to cast your vote?
That's what I meant by "where did this come from?"
Quote from: Jub3r7 on July 13, 2015, 06:39:38 PMOlimar12345. This time my runner up is Maelstrom??
You do know the phase ended 50 minutes ago, right?
I'd like to hear some reasoning. This literally came out of nowhere.
Player: Number of votes (People who voted for Player)
Olimar12345: 2 (BlackDragonSlayer, Mashi)
Mashi: 2 (Dudeman, Maelstrom)
Yugi: 1 (Brawler4Ever)
People who abstained from voting: Olimar12345, Dude, Jub3r7, Yugi
(Jub3r7, your vote was after the phase end by about 40 minutes, so it was not counted)
This results in a Knife in the Box situation between Olimar12345 and Mashi.
Day Three is over. Olimar12345 is dead. It is now Night Four. Night Four will end Tuesday, July 14, 2015, at 9:00 PM EST.
Players:
1. BlackDragonSlayer
2. Dudeman
3. Latios212
4. Maelstrom
5. Brawler4Ever
6. NocturneOfShadow
7. Olimar12345
8. FireArrow
9. Bubbles
10. Mashi
11. davy
12. Dude
13. fank009
14. Jub3r7
15. Toby Yugi
I feel that it's relevant to note that Olimar did not vote for Mashi, which would have saved himself.
Or it could be that he just forgot to vote, but I highly doubt it.
Until Jub does some explaining, he's my prime target. That was a horrible play.

You're dead now, but in case you're keeping up with the topic; yes, you do. If you're Human, then the only thing you know absolutely for sure this game is that you're Human, so you should
never want to be lynched. You haven't done your part for your Team if you get mislynched without bothering to defend yourself. By similar logic, if you're a Wolf, you're responsible to your Wolf Team to do your best to keep yourself alive. TWG is a Team game, after all.
Quote from: Dudeman on July 13, 2015, 05:08:18 PMDoesn't change the fact that you still cast a vote without intention to lynch. And sure, who wouldn't be afraid of being lynched when they take the game seriously? Plus I'm among a larger pool of people who were also inactive.
I probably would have kept my vote on you if you remained inactive and you weren't leading in lynch with only two votes.
But in case you're comparing that to my accusation to Olimar12345, the contexts are different. When you're placing a vote a few minutes before the Day Phase ends, you're making a vote to lynch. That's what the vote is for. It has multiple purposes (and as I repeatedly mentioned, it was meant to pressure you, and it worked), but the fact that Olimar12345 failed to use it as it was supposed to be used was why I was suspicious of him.
QuoteDude. Latios. Maelstrom to an extent. And I did take the vote seriously; that's why I joined that chat session and posted saying there hasn't been much to say.I see it that you switched the vote because it would have been suspicious if you didn't.
And how would it have been suspicious? I went out of my way to be in the chat and discuss the game despite being busy and having to leave and return to my laptop, decide that I should remove my vote off of you because I felt you were Human, and then figure out a new person to place my vote onto, despite time constraints. And you find that my putting in that work despite not having to is suspicious?
QuoteI posted and showed up actively in the chat, which is what you pressured me to do. What other reason would you have had to keep the vote then? You wanted to hear from me, and you did.
Pressure votes are used when you want to hear more from a Player and use the lynch to make them feel threatened. If after discussing with you, I had felt you were a Wolf, I would have just left my vote on you.
QuoteCould you direct me to that? I looked through the thread but probably missed something.
It was in a chat somewhere. I thought it was posted, but perhaps it wasn't. I can't seem to find the discussion in my own logs though.
QuoteSure, it would have been detrimental to the Humans, but it would be detrimental to the wolves if it had formed successfully. I'm gonna point out that two of your first three points were "not an alliance game" and "it kills activity." And the risks you pointed out are risks that exist with any alliance.
I'm getting tired of repeating points about strategy talk. davy didn't convince me that an alliance wouldn't kill activity or that it would benefit the Humans more than it would benefit the Wolves. If you want to provide your reasoning, go ahead, but this discussion is too far gone at this point since we can't really create an alliance anymore. But if you're going to suspect me for being against a strategy that I
literally helped SlowPokemon design the game
against, then I don't know what to tell you.

If it were any other Player, I would agree with you about Olimar12345. Except that Olimar12345 voted for himself in TWG LXXII: Agents of Shield for no explained reason. And he was a Wolf. And he got lynched.
Granted, the alternative leading wagon in that game was on his Wolf Partner, but it was still a poor Wolf play on his part.
Jub3r7, I would like to hear your explanation for voting for Olimar12345 as well. I remember you mentioning that you felt I was Human in the chat a few days ago, but that was a while ago.
Just got back home. It's 10 pm and I'm tired. I'll be in chat in the morning. Roughly 8 hours from now, probably.

Normally, I would disagree with you on the grounds that Olimar was apparently trying to save his Wolf Partner, the Wolf Seer. However, he did vote for FireArrow (the Wolf Seer in that game) one minute after the Day ended. I'm not sure if that was intentionally after it ended, so as to create confusion, or if he just plain messed up, since FA was pretty much not trusted by the community after that (as far as I can tell). Toby accurately analyzed what happened soon after (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=6573.msg264398#msg264398) (even if he didn't know it at the time).
So yeah. I have no idea what goes through Olimar's head. :)

14:34 Dudeman42 Is it the kind of stuff that's good to be busy with?
14:34 Brawler4Ever yeah
14:34 Brawler4Ever original Starcraft
14:34 Brawler4Ever Warcraft 3
14:35 Dudeman42 Oooo.
14:35 Dudeman42 Fun.
14:35 Brawler4Ever just random classic games
14:35 Brawler4Ever getting ready to move out this weekend
14:35 Dudeman42 Wow. Big step.
14:35 Brawler4Ever ikr? so excited
14:36 Brawler4Ever what do you guys think about jub's almost ninja vote?
14:36 Dudeman42 It's really odd.
14:36 Dudeman42 Really really really odd.
14:36 Dudeman42 All vote Jub next phase?
14:37 Brawler4Ever I want to hear his explanation
14:37 Brawler4Ever but yeah, my vote's on him atm
14:37 Dude probably good to hear him out first
14:37 Dudeman42 I dunno if we'll get one. He's very sporadic.
14:37 Brawler4Ever lol
14:37 Dude ah
14:37 Brawler4Ever it's almost like he was defending mashi
14:37 Brawler4Ever potential wolf partners, possibly?
14:37 Dude hmm
14:37 Brawler4Ever i had believed mashi to be human, but he might just be really good
14:37 Dudeman42 My suspicions on Mashi aren't gone completely, for the record.
14:37 Brawler4Ever neither are mine
14:37 Dudeman42 That was a very solid rebuttal he gave me, though.
14:38 Brawler4Ever very logical
14:38 Brawler4Ever very efficient
14:38 Dudeman42 He's been around since game one.
14:38 Brawler4Ever has he?
14:38 Dudeman42 Close to it, I'm sure. Bird and him are the two most experienced players on the board.
14:39 Brawler4Ever he joined in 2010.
14:39 Brawler4Ever but yeah, he's very good
14:39 Brawler4Ever very analytical
14:39 Dude ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
14:40 Brawler4Ever ?
14:40 Dude nothing
14:40 Dude i keep typing
14:40 Dude and deleteing
14:40 Brawler4Ever alrighty then
14:40 Brawler4Ever lol
14:40 Dude lol
14:40 Brawler4Ever i just did the same thing xD
14:41 Brawler4Ever why do you think that Olimar didn't vote?
14:41 Dudeman42 I guess 'cause he had nothing to prove?
14:41 Dudeman42 Accepting one's death is the ultimate human play.
14:41 Dudeman42 It's a stupid play, but it does wonders.
14:41 Brawler4Ever mashi tried to downplay it with a similar example of Olimar's
14:41 Brawler4Ever but it doesn't add up, imo
14:42 Brawler4Ever that death was to try to save the Wolf Seer, while Olimar was just a wolf
14:42 Brawler4Ever mashi would have known that, since he was in the game...
14:42 Brawler4Ever but then again, it was a while ago, and he probably didn't remember all of the details
14:43 Dudeman42 I just noticed that Olimar didn't vote at all.
14:43 Brawler4Ever he didn't
14:43 Dudeman42 That's really weird.
14:43 Brawler4Ever he could have saved himself with a mashi vote
14:43 Dude oh
14:43 Dudeman42 I guess he was human?
14:43 Brawler4Ever i would be amazed if he turned out to be a wolf
14:43 Brawler4Ever cause a mislynch? remove a potential blue?
14:44 Brawler4Ever too good for a wolf to pass up under the circumstances
14:44 Brawler4Ever and there's no way that Olimar and Mashi were partners
14:44 Dudeman42 Absolutely not.
14:44 Brawler4Ever therefore, Olimar was human
14:44 Dudeman42 And Mashi's wolf?
14:44 Brawler4Ever if mashi is a wolf, then jub is definitely a wolf
14:45 Brawler4Ever but not necessarily the other way around
14:45 Brawler4Ever I believe that jub knew the consequences of his actions
14:45 Brawler4Ever a late vote on a heated debate?
14:45 Brawler4Ever way too wolfish to be ignored
14:45 Dudeman42 Stupid from all angles.
14:46 Brawler4Ever exactly
14:46 Brawler4Ever it *could be* that he read a pm too late and posted without looking at the...
14:46 Brawler4Ever context
14:46 Brawler4Ever that's the word
14:46 Dudeman42 Hm. Well, that means we've figured out two of the wolves.
14:46 Dudeman42 Who's the third?
14:46 Dudeman42 Noc?
14:46 Brawler4Ever I'm hoping noc, for pride's sake
14:47 Dudeman42 Same.
14:47 Dudeman42 Lat was an unfortunate casualty, then.
14:47 Brawler4Ever but I'm not *counting* on it
14:47 Brawler4Ever i believe that latios was the vigi
14:47 Brawler4Ever or another blue
14:47 Brawler4Ever inactive in the game? active everywhere else?
14:47 Brawler4Ever that tells me that he wanted to stay out of the spotlight
14:47 Brawler4Ever why? because he had a power
14:48 Dudeman42 It makes sense.
14:48 Brawler4Ever I'm guessing vigi, but I might be wrong
14:48 Brawler4Ever it really doesn't matter; all blues are basically useless this game now
14:49 Dudeman42 Did Mashi intentionally design the game to ruin the blues?
14:49 Brawler4Ever which makes the Wolf Seer and Painter equally useless
14:49 Brawler4Ever from what he says, he didn't want an alliance
14:49 Brawler4Ever which means that the blues had to be underpowered
14:49 Brawler4Ever it's human opinion vs wolf opinion
14:50 Brawler4Ever that was the setup from the beginning, before Mashi even knew his role
14:50 Dudeman42 Interesting way to build things.
14:50 Brawler4Ever I like it, lol
14:50 Brawler4Ever makes normal people stronger
14:51 Dudeman42 Kinda just makes the game slower, imo.
14:51 Brawler4Ever mashi will have a good argument if we go up against him
14:51 Brawler4Ever logically, it won't make sense
14:51 Dudeman42 So what do we pin on him?
14:51 Brawler4Ever but everything feels too convenient
14:51 Dudeman42 Olimar was human, therefore Mashi wolf?
14:51 Dudeman42 How do you mean?
14:51 Dudeman42 Convenient?
14:52 Brawler4Ever don't know how to say it properly
14:52 Dudeman42 Just word vomit. I'll make sense of it..
14:52 Brawler4Ever lol ok
14:52 Brawler4Ever everything that we've brought up against mashi has come up empty
14:52 Brawler4Ever why would jub's last minute vote be any different?
14:53 Brawler4Ever why would olimar's "sacrifice" be any different?
14:53 Brawler4Ever we wold essentially be wolf-mongers, aiming to lynch someone without reason
14:53 Dudeman42 We have this chat log.
14:53 Brawler4Ever suspicious without reason
14:53 Dudeman42 It's something.
14:53 Brawler4Ever true
14:54 Brawler4Ever but, in this chat log is found a conspiracy
14:54 Brawler4Ever us against mashi
14:54 Brawler4Ever an informal alliance
14:54 Dudeman42 Goodly pointeth.
14:54 Brawler4Ever with not evidence other than a gut feeling
14:54 Brawler4Ever no*
14:54 Dudeman42 Well, the evidence is that Olimar was human (probably) and Mashi was against him.
14:55 Dudeman42 It's not solid unless we prove Olimar was human beyond reasonable doubt.
14:55 Brawler4Ever i never agreed with mashi's argument against olimar
14:55 Brawler4Ever it's one thing to say "I think he's a wolf" to actively voting for him (meaning voting for latios)
14:56 Brawler4Ever where did Olimar say that he didn't want latios lynched?
14:56 Dudeman42 Wait, you lost me. Are you saying Mashi's argument doesn't make sense because Olimar's vote was reasonable?
14:57 Dudeman42 'Cause I agree in that sense.
14:57 Brawler4Ever i'm saying that there was no argument, in a sense
14:57 Dudeman42 Ah.
14:57 Brawler4Ever there was no communication between them
14:57 Brawler4Ever ...
14:57 Brawler4Ever they weren't being clear with one a nother
14:58 Dudeman42 Before we start taking any action, who's alive still?
14:58 Dudeman42 BDS
14:58 Dudeman42 Maelstrom
14:58 Dudeman42 Ygui
14:58 Dudeman42 *Yugi lol
14:58 Dudeman42 Dude
14:58 Dudeman42 and Jub.
14:59 Dudeman42 Aside from us and Mashi.
14:59 Brawler4Ever yeah
14:59 Dude oh
14:59 Dude yeah
14:59 Dude i'm here
14:59 Dudeman42 XD
14:59 Dudeman42 hi
14:59 Dude i'm just busy
14:59 Dude sry
14:59 Dudeman42 Don't worry about it.
14:59 Brawler4Ever yeha no problem
15:00 Dude i'm kinda hungry and i'm by myself for dinner :<
15:00 Dude so yeah
15:00 Dude I'm gonna go
15:00 Dude byeeeee
15:00 Brawler4Ever cya
15:00 Dudeman42 Nice talking witch'a.
15:00 Dude for what little it was lol
15:00 Dude sry again
15:00 *** Dude quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
15:00 Dudeman42 Nah, it's cool.
15:02 Brawler4Ever just reading through the forum posts...
15:02 Dudeman42 Oh hold up, I found something.
15:02 Dudeman42 Mashi did say that he intentionally designed the game against alliances.
15:02 Dudeman42 So that's confirmed.
15:03 Dudeman42 Doesn't make him a wolf by any means, but at least it clears it up.
15:03 Brawler4Ever right
15:03 Brawler4Ever this was designed to not be an "alliance game"
15:03 Brawler4Ever or so he says, I don't know
15:04 Dudeman42 It was. It makes sense from every angle not to have an alliance. Counterclaims kill the game.
15:04 Brawler4Ever the game is already dead
15:04 Brawler4Ever so I don't buy "alliances kill the game" argument
15:04 Brawler4Ever but its not really relevant
15:05 Dudeman42 Not anymore. Every time I bring it up as an argument against him he shuts it down by saying that the discussion is long over.
15:06 Brawler4Ever very convenient, like I said before
15:06 Brawler4Ever when we need an alliance, it's a bad idea
15:06 Brawler4Ever but when we can't have an alliance, it becomes impossibly
15:06 Brawler4Ever impossible*
15:07 Brawler4Ever to be fair, I said the same thing, but it wasn't related to activity
15:07 Brawler4Ever it was flawed from the beginning, as Mashi pointed out
15:07 Brawler4Ever we would trade 2 blues for one wolf
15:07 Dudeman42 ...welp, we're nowhere near closer to solving this riddle definitively.
15:08 Dudeman42 Though I'm certain Olimar's death means Mashi's wolf.
15:08 Brawler4Ever we won't be, until the game is over
15:08 Dudeman42 ^^^^^^
15:08 Brawler4Ever I'm not so certain
15:08 Brawler4Ever but Jub is definitely pointing me in that direction
15:08 Dudeman42 Same.
15:10 Brawler4Ever I'm considering the thought that jub is a wolf, trying to frame Mashi
15:10 Brawler4Ever but that doesn't make sense
15:10 Brawler4Ever that's a 1:1 trade, which is helpful to the humans
15:10 Brawler4Ever so either Jub and Mashi are both wolves, or this event is just a coincidence
15:11 Brawler4Ever frankly, I'm more in line with them both being wolves
15:11 Dudeman42 I don't believe in coincidence in a game like this.
15:11 Dudeman42 Same.
15:11 Dudeman42 Mashi's more dangerous, though.
15:11 Brawler4Ever very true
15:11 Brawler4Ever but the bandwagon is against Jub, currently
15:12 Brawler4Ever I think?
15:12 Dudeman42 If you count you and Mael as a bandwagon, then yes.
15:12 Brawler4Ever and you as well
15:12 Brawler4Ever is that a majority yet? xD
15:16 Brawler4Ever olimar knew that his suspicion was weak
15:16 Brawler4Ever but he never said that he "didn't want to lynch" latios
15:16 Dudeman42 Very true.
15:16 Dudeman42 Where did Mashi say that he did?
15:16 Brawler4Ever I don't know where Mashi got that from
15:16 Brawler4Ever his initial accusation of olimar
15:16 Brawler4Ever let me get it...
15:17 Brawler4Ever http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297488#msg297488
15:17 Brawler4Ever "It might also explain why Latios212 contacted Olimar12345 right at the lynch."-Mashi
15:17 Brawler4Ever nvm
15:17 Brawler4Ever was going to ask when that happened, but I just remembered
15:17 Dudeman42 When what happened?
15:17 Brawler4Ever basically, latios blaming olimar for his death
15:18 Brawler4Ever in one of the chat logs
15:18 Dudeman42 Ah.
15:18 Brawler4Ever it was through Skype
15:18 Brawler4Ever I replied, "Why doesn't he say that here?"
15:19 Brawler4Ever "Hell, you [Mashi] never did explain why you thought Latios and Maelstrom were such good lynch candidates." -Olimar
15:19 Brawler4Ever Mashi never did answer this
15:19 Brawler4Ever I think?
15:20 Dudeman42 Ooo, here's a good post from Olimar on the subject. It clearly says that his vote wasn't for pressure.
15:20 Dudeman42 http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297402#msg297402
15:22 Brawler4Ever very true
15:22 Brawler4Ever mashi saw that as trying to protect latios as a potential wolf partner
15:22 Brawler4Ever which makes no sense
15:22 Dudeman42 He said that he didn't feel good about about it, but he did follow through with it.
15:23 Brawler4Ever because there was not other vote on latios, as he said
15:23 Dudeman42 Latios' lynch wasn't guaranteed until Mashi voted last second for him.
15:24 Brawler4Ever "23:07 Mashi I wasn't into the lynch"
15:24 Brawler4Ever 23:07 Mashi I wasn't into the lynch. 23:07 Mashi Because the game's inactive. 23:08 Mashi And you can't find Wolves when the game is inactive. 23:08 Mashi But I had like 10 minutes left in the Phase. 23:08 Mashi And I didn't want Dudeman lynched anymore.
15:24 Brawler4Ever sorry
15:24 Brawler4Ever that came out weird
15:24 Brawler4Ever but mashi is basically confessing to the same thing for which he condemned olimar
15:25 Brawler4Ever not taking the vote seriously
15:25 Brawler4Ever i.e. not actually wanting to lynch latios
15:25 Dudeman42 Boom.

15:26 Dudeman42 Anything else we need to discuss?
15:26 Brawler4Ever his defense at 23:09 in the chat log is irrelevant
15:26 Brawler4Ever as a wolf, why not lynch latios?
15:26 Brawler4Ever i can post this chat log right now
15:26 Brawler4Ever and confront mashi in the forum
15:26 Brawler4Ever sound good?
15:27 Dudeman42 Hold up, I'm not seeing the chat log you're referencing. Did you post the right link?
15:27 Brawler4Ever yes

Don't have time to explain right now (I'm busy, sorry). This is a chat log between me and dudeman (and Dude, technically). I'm going to vote on Mashi when Day comes. Start at 15:16 for the reasoning.

Welp. Looks like the vigi's alive and kicking.
Doesn't change the facts. My accusation of you resides in 3 reasons:
1) Your accusation of latios was without cause. You had declared that he was on your watchlist, but you never explained why. When asked about it, you changed the subject to my "Flare Gun" and it was never addressed again. Same goes for Maelstrom; your reasoning was never explained. But then you used your comment that they were on your watchlist as an argument against Olimar anyway (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297409#msg297409). Why were they on your watchlist in the first place?
2) Olimar's accusation of latios being of a weak suspicion does not equal it being "without intent," as you put it. He acknowledged that it was a weak suspicion, and that there was not enough proof to lynch latios (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.210). But, it was a start (that ended in latios' death). You voted on dudeman for the same reason, and I did the same with Yugi. However, of all of these cases, the only one where anyone was accused was Olimar's with latios. What makes Olimar's accusation so different?
3) You accusation against Olimar resided wholely in your belief that they (Olimar and latios) were wolf partners. This reasoning came from Olimar's uneasiness with latios' death. By your logic, because he didn't want to go through with the lynching outright, he must not have wanted the lynching at all. Therefore, there must be a reason why that is. Your reason was that they must be wolf partners. However, you are also on record (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.210) saying that you had only voted for latios to get rid of the post on dudeman. And Olimar was on record with his explanation (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.210). A last-minute vote is, I believe anyway, to be a dirty move. Olimar was uncomfortable with it because it put latios at an unfair position; he had no real time to defend himself. You also voted for latios, but you claim that you had ample reason to do so. Why was your accusation different than Olimar's?
Also, I apologize. My lastest chat log has the same post 3 times in a row. The second and third one should be this one (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.210). At 23:08 is my reference. Dudeman couldn't find it. Apparently I forgot to re-copy the link. My bad.
Quote from: Maelstrom on July 14, 2015, 06:21:10 PMWelp. Looks like the vigi's alive and kicking.
I'm honestly surprised. I was fairly certain that latios was the vigi, because he pretty much fit the bill, imo. Oh well. It is irrelevant in my accusation against
Mashi.

Rereading my accusation, I realize that some parts are difficult to find because they're hidden within chat logs. I'll post times from the individual forum posts soon.

Mashi declares his then-previous intent to vote on latios after the third quote in his post.

This is actually a mistake. The correct post is found here (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297402#msg297402). He bolds his comment in the first chat log.

Hope this helps!

23:08 Mashi But I had like 10 minutes left in the Phase.
23:08 Mashi And I didn't want Dudeman lynched anymore.
I just realized that I had made a mistake in my accusation. I thought that "the lynch" in this chat post was latios' lynch. Reading the context more, I see now that this is in relation to dudeman's lynch. But my argument still stands as it was; you accused Olimar wrongly of having a wolf partner when there was no basis for this belief.
Quote from: Olimar12345 on July 12, 2015, 09:37:15 PM23:07 Olimar12345 Idk, you didn't seem that into a Latios lynch before I said I was going to vote, and I had just said that I didn't want to condemn someone if I didn't have to

At the cost of looking like an idiot, I retract my previous post. This lynch
was in reference to latios.
Quote from: Brawler4Ever on July 14, 2015, 06:31:32 PMDoesn't change the facts. My accusation of you resides in 3 reasons:
1) Your accusation of latios was without cause. You had declared that he was on your watchlist, but you never explained why
If you're referring to why I didn't explain my reasoning for wanting to lynch between Latios212 and maelstrom while in the chat the day of the lynch, it was because no one asked me to and because I was busy that day and frequently had to "brb" as was evident by repeatedly saying such in the chat. It isn't that my decision to vote for him was without cause; you just weren't proactive enough to ask. Don't come up to false conclusions for something you didn't verify yourself. If you had asked me why I wanted to lynch between them and I didn't answer, then you could feel free to accuse me of that.
QuoteWhen asked about it, you changed the subject to my "Flare Gun" and it was never addressed again.
You never asked me about it. Hard to change the subject when there was no subject to begin with.
QuoteSame goes for Maelstrom; your reasoning was never explained. But then you used your comment that they were on your watchlist as an argument against Olimar anyway (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297409#msg297409). Why were they on your watchlist in the first place?
Quote from: Mashi on July 13, 2015, 01:56:38 PMmaelstrom, I just looked at the Player list and thought you two might make good Partners for people in the thread. Your plays seems a bit under the radar to me and Latios212 had stated in the thread a couple of times that he was going to be active only to show up with a random vote and then leave. I was originally thinking of adding Doodle as a potential lynch candidate, but for reasons explained in my suspicion list, I felt he was Human.
This was my response to maelstrom asking me only two posts away. Read the thread.
Quote2) Olimar's accusation of latios being of a weak suspicion does not equal it being "without intent," as you put it.
He
literally stated that he voted Latios212 at the end of the Day Phase and didn't actually want him lynched.
QuoteHe acknowledged that it was a weak suspicion, and that there was not enough proof to lynch latios (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.210). But, it was a start (that ended in latios' death).
People were inactive. There's not much proof on anyone. Weak suspicion is better than no suspicion.
QuoteYou voted on dudeman for the same reason, and I did the same with Yugi. However, of all of these cases, the only one where anyone was accused was Olimar's with latios. What makes Olimar's accusation so different?
No, I did not. I voted Dudeman to pressure him. It's legitimately annoying me that people aren't understand this, so let me try to be lucid about this.
The primary purpose of the lynch vote is to place it on a Player you want to see lynched. This purpose, however, has indirect consequences. A pressure vote (I stated that my vote on Dudeman was a pressure vote, but it never needs to explicitly stated to be for pressure) is a vote made to declare that you're threatening to have the person lynched. It's supposed to inspire fear in a Player and see how they react. In the particular instance, I used it to instigate activity from Dudeman because I wanted to hear more from it.
Now let me explain what distancing is. Generally, Wolves don't want to be associated with each other. So what they sometimes do is vote for each other without putting each other in danger of being lynched. This is why I found it suspicious that Olimar12345 wanted to place a vote on Latios212 but not have him lynched.
Pressure votes aren't feasible 10 minutes before the Phase ends. When the Phase ends, the only thing the vote can be used for is its primary purpose; lynching someone off.
Does this make sense now? If I was ambiguous about anything, ask me and I'll try to explain it more clearly.
Quote3) You accusation against Olimar resided wholely in your belief that they (Olimar and latios) were wolf partners.
It didn't (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297495#msg297495), that was just a theory I had that I believed supported evidence. And I still think it's potential, frankly. Maybe I'm wrong, but regardless, I still found Olimar12345 suspicious.
QuoteThis reasoning came from Olimar's uneasiness with latios' death. By your logic, because he didn't want to go through with the lynching outright, he must not have wanted the lynching at all. Therefore, there must be a reason why that is. Your reason was that they must be wolf partners.
Not must, but I find it likely, yes.
QuoteHowever, you are also on record (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.210) saying that you had only voted for latios to get rid of the post on dudeman. And Olimar was on record with his explanation (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.210). A last-minute vote is, I believe anyway, to be a dirty move.
A last minute lynch isn't a dirty move. In fact, having a last minute bandwagon form at the end of a Day Phase happens so often, there's even a name for it in TWG; Chinese Fire Drill.
QuoteOlimar was uncomfortable with it because it put latios at an unfair position; he had no real time to defend himself. You also voted for latios, but you claim that you had ample reason to do so. Why was your accusation different than Olimar's?
Latios212 was inactive in the game, but apparently active on the forum. He couldn't defend himself because he wasn't putting in any work.
I never stated that Olimar12345 didn't have ample reason for voting for Latios212. The factors around the vote are what I was suspicious of.
There is an aura that surrounds you Mashi. I've felt it since Day 1, with my debate with Nocturne. Davy and dudeman felt it with "This isn't an alliance game." Olimar felt it before he died, with the case against latios. I would call this aura an aura of convenience, but that just isn't the right word. Let me explain:
Day 1: You suggest that I go after noc (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg296513#msg296513), and then use that as a defense of your humanity (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297409#msg297409). Granted, I take full responsibility for noc's lynch since I both instigated and basically completed it. But your part in it was neutral indifference. As a wolf, you would lose nothing in this exchange; either I die, or Nocturne dies. In either case, a wolf is not in jeopardy, and you gain the benefit of potentially killing a Special. I do have to say that this is the weakest of my arguments, but it's relevant in my final conclusion, so it is included nonetheless.
Day 2: You make a comment that latios and maelstrom are on your watchlist; potential wolves partners (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297179#msg297179), because they both stay out of the spotlight (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297516#msg297516). (19:31) [Thank you for answering this question, by the way. No, I never asked you explicitly, but Olimar did comment that you had not answered it (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297499#msg297499). You're right, though. It doesn't amount to the same thing]
Of the two choices, Olimar picks latios as his potential target, rather than Maelstrom (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297179#msg297179). (19:32)
Side note, you also make the argument that Bubbles' wolfing shows that you are human; why would you wolf your own supporter (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297537#msg297537)? My retort is that you, as a wolf, sacrificed Bubbles to make this exact argument.
Day 3: You declare that you would have voted for latios, regardless of Olimar's vote (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297409#msg297409).
The dialogue between you and Olimar leads you to believe that Olimar is a wolf (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297488#msg297488).
You then argue that even if latios isn't a wolf, Olimar is still guilty of being a wolf anyway (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297495#msg297495). [Literally makes no sense to me, but I'll get to that in another post]
Everything that has happened this game has been done under your instigation, or your permission. You have had a delicate hand in every lynch, you countered the alliance, noting that it was unnecessary (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg296483#msg296483). When it's too late to have an alliance, it was then that you said that an alliance might have been a good idea after all. Oh well (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297138#msg297138). I would call all of this convenient, but there's nothing convenient about it. It's manipulation. Of the 3 players lynched so far, I highly doubt that any of them were actually wolves. But in all of these cases, your hand can be felt. Everything has transpired according to your desire, if I may be so crude.
Maybe this is confirmation bias. You've played a stellar game, and you're an amazing player. Whether any of this is true or not, I give you the highest compliments. Your manner in answering every argument and finding a retort to every obstacle is staggering. So yes, I admit that this may be a confirmation bias. This may all be one huge mistake. But, with the way that you've been playing, I'm left with no other choice than to continue debating with you. I believe that you are a wolf, and I'm going to continue my debate against you until I'm convinced otherwise, or either of us dies. [Did not mean for that to rhyme, but whatever. I can't think of another way to say what I want to say]
I'll get to the rest of your points later. I don't have time atm to write another text wall. :)

I'm going to try to explain my reasoning as to why this makes no sense to me.
Latios and Olimar: This is my belief. I believe that they were both human, and that Olimar felt guilty about lynching latios at the last second due to a weak suspicion. Your retort is that a weak suspicion is better than no suspicion, and that Olimar is being unreasonable in his apprehension with latios' death.
Latios and Olimar: Nothing really changes from the above. Latios' actual role never played a huge part in your debate with Olimar It should be noted, however, that you would probably not have mentioned latios at all if he was your wolf partner. In fact, you, as a wolf, had no reason to even bring him up at all. So I highly doubt this scenario.
Latios and Olimar: This is your backup accusation. But this makes no sense to me. Why would Olimar, a wolf, care if he killed latios, a human? If anything, Olimar should have been happy to kill a random human, but his attitude showed that he cared very much, so much so that he discussed your actions, when he had the perfect opportunity to drop the whole thing and move on. While this scenario is possible, I find it highly unlikely.
Latios and Olimar: This is your initial accusation, and I find this just as unlikely as those above. Olimar had the choice between your two potential targets (latios and Maelstrom). He decided to investigate latios, noting that latios was active elsewhere in the forum. If Olimar and latios were partners, he had no reason to make this observation. Your accusation was that Olimar's actions seemed to be a wolf lamenting his fallen partner. Why would any wolf do this? From my limited experience, a wolf would cut their losses and continue with the game, not drudge up past mistakes and point themselves to their fallen comrade. It makes no sense to me for them to be partners.
In which of these scenarios can we find our answer? I have no idea. To me, the most likely scenario is that Olimar and latios were both human. This is how I see it, and it's open to interpretation.

Answered this in my previous post (which came after this comment, to be clear). No, I never asked you. However, as I said before, Olimar did comment that you had not answered it. You later answered Maelstrom regarding his question, so it has been answered. I just didn't see it. Thank you.
Quote from: Mashi on July 15, 2015, 12:21:06 AMHe literally stated that he voted Latios212 at the end of the Day Phase and didn't actually want him lynched.
Not wanting someone lynched is not the same as realizing that one's suspicion is weak. If Olimar didn't want latios lynched, there were several steps that Olimar could have taken to avoid that. The issue was never about latios being lynched; it was about the manner in which he was lynched.
Quote from: Mashi on July 15, 2015, 12:21:06 AMNo, I did not. I voted Dudeman to pressure him. It's legitimately annoying me that people aren't understand this, so let me try to be lucid about this.

It's supposed to inspire fear in a Player and see how they react. In the particular instance, I used it to instigate activity from Dudeman because I wanted to hear more from it.
You're right, your vote on latios and dudeman are not the same. My mistake. You were not creating a pressure vote against latios; you were going for the kill, basically. Olimar did the same. There is no way that Olimar's vote was a pressure vote, since there was no time for latios to react. But that doesn't mean that Olimar had to feel comfortable with latios' death. If Yugi had died at my vote, I would have felt the same way. There was a small suspicion, but it was better than nothing (As you said). it doesn't make the decision easy to make, though.
Quote from: Mashi on July 15, 2015, 12:21:06 AMNow let me explain what distancing is. Generally, Wolves don't want to be associated with each other. So what they sometimes do is vote for each other without putting each other in danger of being lynched. This is why I found it suspicious that Olimar12345 wanted to place a vote on Latios212 but not have him lynched.
Right. And when i first saw your argument, it made sense; Olimar had voted on latios without the intent of lynching him, so his concern after latios died was unusual. That's one main reason why I didn't get involved. However, after reading the thread more thoroughly, I realize that Olimar never had to go after you at all. There was no reason for him to care about latios' death, if it was not important to him. Obviously, it was important to him; so the question becomes why? Going off my previous post, Olimar believed that they were either both human, or both wolves. To me, them both being human makes more sense.
Quote from: Mashi on July 15, 2015, 12:21:06 AMIt didn't (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297495#msg297495), that was just a theory I had that I believed supported evidence. And I still think it's potential, frankly. Maybe I'm wrong, but regardless, I still found Olimar12345 suspicious.
I would like to hear your reasoning as to how it would be possible for Olimar to be a wolf, and latios not. It makes no sense to me, and I would like to hear your interpretation.
Quote from: Mashi on July 15, 2015, 12:21:06 AMA last minute lynch isn't a dirty move. In fact, having a last minute bandwagon form at the end of a Day Phase happens so often, there's even a name for it in TWG; Chinese Fire Drill.
Is it not? I did not know that. To be fair, Olimar also did a last minute vote, and I consider him human even now. It would be hypocritical for me to accuse you of being a wolf for the same reason.
Quote from: Mashi on July 15, 2015, 12:21:06 AMLatios212 was inactive in the game, but apparently active on the forum. He couldn't defend himself because he wasn't putting in any work.
I never stated that Olimar12345 didn't have ample reason for voting for Latios212. The factors around the vote are what I was suspicious of.
Okay, that makes more sense. But in light of everything that's been said, I don't see Olimar's behavior as suspicious. However, your manner of accusing him, to me, is.
And that's the last text wall that I have in me (for now). There's a great deal of ground to cover, and I felt that it would be best to get the whole picture out there. :)
I'm rereading the whole thread, is there anyway to sort posts by user on this forum for a specific thread?
The closest thing that I can think of is the search function. While in the thread, it will search only in the thread. But I don't know if it can be used to sort specific users' posts.
14:45 Brawler4Ever I believe that jub knew the consequences of his actions
HA
I had a slight human lean on Mashi when I voted for Olimar; I didn't even see the context of my post. I was trying to vote the same person I did in the previous phase because of a wolf lean I had on him earlier.
But I just went through all but the last page and I have a definite town lean on Mashi now. I do believe Brawler is human, and that leaves 3 people.
Maelstrom is leaning human for me, I'll need to reevaluate him just to make sure. This leaves Yugi and Doodle.
14:51 Dudeman42 So what do we pin on him?
This is why I don't try to analyze some of your posts. It's one thing to try to find a wolf and lynch them, it's another to pick a target and then figure out how you're going to explain why you voted them.
14:54 Dudeman42 Well, the evidence is that Olimar was human (probably) and Mashi was against him.
(I realize dudeman is dead, but humans can be wrong.)
Brawler, is there any reason you don't suspect me that much any more compared to Mashi before I even defended myself? I'm in the chat now, by the way!
Crap. I was going to vote and then I realized I was two minutes late.
I would have voted for Mashi anyway, just because Bralwer brought up some really good points. For one, he has been actively involved in every single lynch so far. He's just too strong of a presence to ignore, and he has had many, many opportunities for manipulation.
There's still another day.
Woops.
Mashi
Mashi's not a wolf
Quote from: Jub3r7 on July 15, 2015, 06:41:35 PMMashi's not a wolf
How so?
Please explain your reasoning.
how many reasons do you want?
Quote from: Jub3r7 on July 15, 2015, 06:47:21 PMhow many reasons do you want?
Any/all.
Use actual logic, and you'll convince me.
Here's three reasons to start out since you didn't give me a number.
1. He stopped the bandwagon on brawler4ever. http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg296550#msg296550
2. http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297179#msg297179 – seems human in this chat
3. http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297386#msg297386 – Seems even more human in this one; every argument made against him, he responded to very well, almost likes he's a wolf MASTERMIND at coming up with defense. Or maybe... maybe he's being honest?
I've been wrong about Mashi before, due to - wait for it - confirmation bias! So when I went through the thread and read every post of the players that are still alive and more, I accounted for that and still came up with the same result.
Literally just read his posts if you need actual logic. Or are you afraid of logic, since Mashi is apparently so good at being sensible that you guys believe he could make you think the sky was green?
Here's a pastebin (http://pastebin.com/phjz8h7E) with a link to most of his posts. You can ignore the earlier posts since most of that is arguing with davy.
Note: Not all original content.
4. If Mashi were a wolf, why would he switch his vote off of Dudeman? You might think: Because it would be suspicious that he didn't change his vote when it was only supposed to be a pressure vote. However: Mashi already explained that if Dudeman was unable to give a sufficient explanation, then he would have kept his vote there.
5. You: But he voted latios right before Olimar did, and didn't give his explanation as to why he suspected latios and maelstrom.
A. He was discussing in the chat log who the wolves might be, most likely 2/5 people; prior to stating that list, he said his two preferences of those five people. Then Olimar went along with it.
B. His suspicion of Olimar was strange? Look at this way: Mashi says he is thinking about a Latios or Maelstrom lynch. Olimar decides to vote Latios. Mashi votes Latios, then Olimar votes Latios, then Latios gets lynched. Then Olimar uses this as a reason to suspect Mashi, and I'm paraphrasing here: 'Why did you reverse bandwagon my vote? I don't think Latios was a good lynch.' See what's weird about that? It feels contrived, he votes Latios, and then suspects someone else for voting the same person, as if it was unexpected, even though Mashi brought up the idea in the first place. Sure, it could be a bad human play on Olimar's part, but Mashi's suspicion of Olimar is not unusual.
6. Why would Mashi wolf Bubbles, even though Bubbles humanread him? I talked to Bubbles in the chat and I can confirm that he did humanread Mashi. They both humanread each other and I had no idea why; apparently they agreed with each other's reads.
7. Why would Mashi argue with davy about setting up an alliance if he believed it to be detrimental to the human team? "So he looks more human as a wolf!" Actually, if you were a wolf, you could be silent or ambivalent about it (kinda like Maelstrom) to allow the guardian to claim. Or, being a proactive player, he could even support the alliance under the guise of believing it to be helpful to the human team even if he believed otherwise.
If I change my vote from Maelstrom it'll either be on Dude or Yugi.

Stopped is an incredibly strong word. The bandwagon consisted of 2 players that didn't look too deeply into the subject. I give Mashi credit for agreeing with my point of view, specifically stating that my case against Nocturne... I forget the exact words and I can't find it again. Something about making sense. Not entirely sure, but it doesn't matter. In terms of my case against Nocturne, Mashi agreed with my point of view.

;)
Seeming human is a wolf's job. If they can't "seem human," then there would be no TWG. Mashi has used perfect logic and reason in all of his posts; that's what makes my accusation so difficult. But the game is not separated into humans-use-reason and wolves-don't. Wolves can use logic for their purposes just as easily as a human could.

Again, ;)
I'm not afraid of logic. I'm using logic in the same way that he is. If Mashi is a wolf, then he has been part of every lynch so far. He has been a Wolf MASTERMIND (your words, not mine) working behind the scenes to ensure that no wolves are in danger during the Day.
If he's human, then I'm making a huge mistake. Oh well. My instinct tells me that he's a wolf, and I'm going with it (using logic and reason to support my intuition). That's what the game is all about. You're using reason and logic to defend him. He's using reason and logic to defend himself. This creates dialogue, and we can debate and discuss everything as it comes.

Right. Maybe others see this as wolfish, but I don't. Mashi's actions could just as well be used by a human as a wolf. I don't see anything suspicous with his accusation against dudeman. Mashi was completely honest and open in his accusation with dudeman. It was only to make dudeman talk, and it made dudeman talked. This has relation to Mashi's role, as far as I can see.

I disagree with it being unusual. Mashi chose latios rather than Maelstrom. Olimar also chose latios rather than Maelstrom. It was a bad case of miscommunication. As I've said (and Olimar has said) the case against latios was weak. The only reason that Olimar was accusing latios was because of his simultaneous inactivity in TWG and activity outside of TWG. It was very strange. Now that I think about it, it's just as likely that he was a wolf as a Special, using that logic. But I digress. Olimar was uncomfortable about the lynch. He had, essentially, sentenced someone to death for the sole reason of being inactive in TWG. There are several players here that could fall under that category, but latios was the one lynched. And it was, in a large part, due to Olimar.
I believed this to be an accident when the time came. I believed it to be human error. But the manner in which Mashi went after Olimar raised several alarms. I didn't realize this until after I arrived home for my trip, otherwise I would have actively participated. As it turned out, Mashi won the KITB and here we are.

I answered this in a previous post. There is no doubt that Bubbles townread me, dudeman, and davy as wolves, while simultaneously reading Mashi as a human. He made that very clear. Why would Mashi kill him, being a wolf? My answer: so that he could make the argument that he, as a wolf, would never have killed Bubbles. Mashi
couldn't be a wolf because he killed his supporter. Except that killing Bubbles wasn't really a sacrifice, if the greater objective was achieved; more human credit. Mashi even used Bubbles' death as an excuse of his humanity already. I don't have the link on me, it's in the post with all of the colors with latios and Olimar.

My problem with Mashi and the alliance was that he shot it down immediately and didn't look back on it at all until it was "too late." Unless a wolf has a fairly good chance of being able to claim and become part of the alliance, an alliance is basically a wolf's worst enemy. Of the 3 games of TWG that I have played (all 5+ years ago) every single one was decided by an alliance. If the alliance worked, the wolves lost. If it didn't, the wolves won. Any wolf would want to stop an alliance from forming.
Could Mashi have suggested that an alliance work? Yes, that was definitely an option. And Mashi could probably figure out how to bring it down from the inside; I have no doubt of his capabilities. The question became, was it worth the risk? If the alliance worked, it would leave the vigi and Seer working together without ever having to claim to the thread. That is incredibly powerful. From what occurred, it appears that Mashi decided to take the "it's not worth the risk" route, and we never had an alliance, largely because of it.

Random chat log
I've told Jerry a few times already, but I'm fairly certain that the last Wolf (if not both) is between maelstrom and Yugi. Given how inactive Yugi is, if he's a Wolf, we can just lynch him later.
I'm voting for maelstrom now though, since I'll probably be busy the rest of the day.
Maelstom, because PLOT TWIST
I guess Yugi to avoid an insta.
Unless we're all OK with a Mael lynch
Talking to Jub in chat. His argument that Maelstrom is a wolf is much stronger than mine that Mashi is a wolf. So I'm going with his. If that costs the humans the game, oh well. At least I'll have a good laugh about it. ;)
I'm curious to see if Jub is telling the truth. So I'm fine with an insta against Maelstrom. (Sorry Maelstrom)
Uhhhhh.......
I forgive you?
(This is kind of sudden)
Well let's see what happens.

Day is over, and since I already received the PMs, night is also over.
Night Five is over. Jub3r7 is dead. It is now Day Five. Day Five will end on Monday, July 20, 2015, at 9:00 PM EST.
Players:
1. BlackDragonSlayer

11. davy
12. Dude
13. fank009
14. Jub3r7
15. Toby Yugi
DANG IT. I was hoping the game was over. I wanted to end it with a bang. -_-
Okay.
Dude hasn't signed in since the 16th. He might have sent in the pm right after he voted for Maelstrom with the insta. Pretty sure Slow would accept that.
Yugi hasn't been on since the 14th, so that's highly doubtful.
But I'm still betting on Mashi. I only voted for Maelstrom because Jub felt human to me. But now he's dead. So I'm going back to my original suspicion.
Mashi and I are the only ones that knew that Jub was the Seer. However, Jub was roleblocked when BDS and dudeman died. So he was afraid that somebody knew that he was the Seer. He trusted both of us with this information (sorry Dude and Yugi).
Jub told me all of this before I changed my vote to Maelstrom. That's why I decided to trust Jub; his story made sense. He felt human to me. However, Jub only trusted Mashi due to intuition; Jub never Seered Mashi. To be fair, he didn't Seer me either. He felt that it would be better to share his secret in case they were still on to him. If I'm not mistaken, he was going to See Dude during the Night, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
I would vote for Mashi right now, but I'm going to hold off. I don't want the game to be lost due to a hasty decision. Anyone else have anything to say?

Sooooo, it's up to Dude now? I doubt that Yugi will be coming back anytime due to technical difficulties. And if Dude doesn't vote, then the fate of the game is decided by a KITB. Dang this is intense! xD
I would find it pretty funny if Dude was the wolf after all. Just saying. :P
But on to more important matters...
Quote from: Mashi on July 18, 2015, 03:10:19 PMI probably should have realised this before, but oh well.
Besides process of elimination, the
only argument that you have that I am a wolf is the fact that I've been tunneling you? Is that correct? Because it would seem to me, either being the Wolf Seer or in league with the Wolf Seer, I would have taken a more active action against you. This, being under the assumption that you were Seered as a Special earlier. Why else would I, a wolf, be tunneling you
specifically so much, as you said? I had the perfect opportunity to bring you down with very little risk during Day 3, with Olimar's lynching. It was 5v5 and was decided by a kitb. My vote would have tipped the favor against you, thus eliminating a player that I (as a wolf) would know to be human (or a Special, possibly). But I didn't. I chose to remain neutral. I would love to hear your theory as to why I would do that.
There's no major evidence indicating that you're Human. There's a bit of evidence supporting suspicion on you. I decided to condone them because I felt you were Human by tone, the wagon developing on you Day 1, and your tunneling on me, but it's clear that I was wrong to do so now.
Throughout the game, you've never indicated a hint of wanting to find Wolves, only pushing lynches. Your suspicion of NoctuenOfShadow stemmed off of you being too timid to declare your suspicion; you made it clear when chatting to me that you only thought that he was a Wolf, which could have easily been taken for given. I figured such timidity would be expected from a new Player that was a Human, but the other potential possibility was a Wolf too timid to draw the spotlight. When I was brought up a chat conversation you had with Dudeman, your only interest was "what to pin Mashi with" rather than a thorough analysis of whether you believed I was Human or Wolf. When pressure developed on Olimar12345 and me Day 3, you placed a vote on Yugi and then only commented on believing Olimar12345 and me were Human, not bothering to push for a Yugi lynch, which would have been in line with your suspicions.
If you're a Wolf and both Olimar12345's wagon and my wagon were Human, it doesn't matter to you who dies. In fact, a Wolf would rather keep me alive than Olimar12345 simply to push their suspicion on me, since more people were suspicious of me than of Olimar12345. The fact that you decided to say you were starting to think I was Human that Phase only to do a 180 when convenient for you is in favor of suspicion against you, not evidence for your humanity. In fact, if you were more suspicious of me than Olimar12345, the fact that you
didn't vote for me is suspicious by most conventional TWG standards.
If I were a Wolf, I would have wolfed Jub3r7 a while ago since I thought he was Vigi (on that note, the Vigi was probably BlackDragonSlayer, by the way). Here's a (very) messy log between Jub3r7 and I on Facebook.

half of the stuff hes saying about me isnt even true
and then the other half is just confirmation bias

i think the wolves are between yugi and maelstrom anyway

Why do you town read Dude?
And did you vigi dudeman or BlackDragonSlayer?

btw i'm like 99% sure youre the vigi lol
because im not dead yet
For srs?
ya
doesnt really matter tho tbh
actually it does because
pretty sure its between maelstrom and yugi
Yugi was last active on 7/14, but I guess he can't be the vigi?
I already checked, he could have made the wolfing/vigi since that was during the Night Phase.
because toby was gone
Oh wait
omg
lol
Good deduction, I completely forgot about Toby.
I thought about that just now
Anyway,
BDS might be the vigi. if not, then the vigi is still out there
Although maelstrom and B4e both have given non-vigi reads
here's the maelstrom post in question:
http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297274#msg297274

Yeah, I don't think maelstrom fits as vigi.
Maybe it was BlackDragonSlayer if it's not you.

And see if someone counterclaims.
i seered you blue
omg hype
Or if you want to be extra safe
I seered you blue and you can claim psychic
(i didnt actually seer you blue)
Oh
lol
I was roleblocked before I could.
I seered firearrow, then he died
I seered bubbles, then she died
I seered you, then I was roleblocked
seer the wolves
then theyll die
is that how it works???
lol
Okay, how about this
Say you have a Red result on maelstrom or something
And then see how he reacts
sounds good
Oh oh oh
Do you want me to false claim in your place?
another strategy I had was to send out pm's to people assuming they were the vigi
And try to get myself wolfed?
That sounds good
Best case scenario: We're right about maelstrom and he's the last Wolf, so he gives up.
there's also the idea of sending maelstrom a message saying I think they're the vigi by process of elimination
and if they respond with yes??? then wow???
oh wait
I think he might know I'm the seer
since I was roleblocked
so false claiming in my place might not work
if he's the wolf
oh well, we have tomorrow
I heard kami was making you watch steven universe!!! (i dont know who that is but i recommend it as well)
You can be Herring or something.
And yeah, she's going to make me, haha.
Thursday 3:57pm
so
what are we doing about nsm twg
probably maelstrom
dude can vote maelstrom and if yugi is a wolf and comes back then we lose
OR
i can tell brawler4ever
the fact that you thought I was a vigi
Which wouldn't make sense if you were a wolf because I was roleblocked.
And the vigi succeeded.
Thursday 5:32pm
perf
and then hell say
clearly im so good
i would pretend to think you were the vigi
ill send doodle a message
yugis probs going to stay inactive
If I were a Wolf, there would be no reason for me to have made the wolfing choices that have occurred in general. Why would I have wolfed people who believed I was Human rather than people suspicious of me? You can't even use the reverse psychology argument there because I would win more often doing the former than the latter!
You're tunneling me because you're either being stupid as a Human or trying to push a mislynch as a Wolf. Considering that Yugi is confirmed Human and I think Doodle is Human, it's clear which of the two I think now.
Quote from: Mashi on July 18, 2015, 04:45:17 PMThroughout the game, you've never indicated a hint of wanting to find Wolves, only pushing lynches.
What's the difference? And I have been trying to find wolves. I believed that I found a wolf in noc due to his shoddy logic. I believed that I found a wolf in you for supporting him in the eyes of the community. Then, it seemed to me that you were controlling everything from the background. So I have been trying to find wolves. I'm just trying to find the
right way to find wolves.
Quote from: Mashi on July 18, 2015, 04:45:17 PMYour suspicion of NoctuenOfShadow stemmed off of you being too timid to declare your suspicion; you made it clear when chatting to me that you only thought that he was a Wolf, which could have easily been taken for given. I figured such timidity would be expected from a new Player that was a Human, but the other potential possibility was a Wolf too timid to draw the spotlight. When I was brought up a chat conversation you had with Dudeman, your only interest was "what to pin Mashi with" rather than a thorough analysis of whether you believed I was Human or Wolf.
The only accusations that I've made this game were noc, Yugi, and you. I knew Yugi's case to be weak. I discussed both of the other cases with other players to determine if the case was finding something that a wolf would do. What "wolfish" means to you is completely different than what "wolfish" means to me. I've been trying to find the correct reasoning to find a wolf. I'm sorry if that comes off as timid.
As far as the spotlight goes, I've literally been in it since the debate with noc. I've been a member of virtually every chat log, and I can be found in almost every thread page. So I am most definitely not trying to stay out of the spotlight.
Quote from: Mashi on July 18, 2015, 04:45:17 PMWhen pressure developed on Olimar12345 and me Day 3, you placed a vote on Yugi and then only commented on believing Olimar12345 and me were Human, not bothering to push for a Yugi lynch, which would have been in line with your suspicions.
As I said several times, my accusation against Yugi was weak. Yugi made a mistake that almost everybody has made this game. My concern was that Yugi claimed humanship because of it. By the end of the Day, my vote against Yugi was inconsequential in the face of the debate between you and Olimar (1 for Yugi, 5 for you, 5 for Olimar). But at the time, I was fully aware that lynching Yugi based solely on that was not ideal. As I said then, in the face of other cases being only of inactivity, I would say that Yugi's case would be the strongest one available; even stronger than yours, if you can believe it. However, judging by the fact that a wolfing happened last night, I would say that backing off Yugi was the correct decision. But that's beside the point.
Quote from: Mashi on July 18, 2015, 04:45:17 PMIf you're a Wolf and both Olimar12345's wagon and my wagon were Human, it doesn't matter to you who dies. In fact, a Wolf would rather keep me alive than Olimar12345 simply to push their suspicion on me, since more people were suspicious of me than of Olimar12345. The fact that you decided to say you were starting to think I was Human that Phase only to do a 180 when convenient for you is in favor of suspicion against you, not evidence for your humanity. In fact, if you were more suspicious of me than Olimar12345, the fact that you didn't vote for me is suspicious by most conventional TWG standards.
That's a fair argument, considering that I used the same argument against you regarding noc. I can't make any comment about conventional TWG standards, but I'm pretty sure that voting against you would have been a huge benefit to me if I was trying to earn the trust of the players. If I had joined against you, then I would have gained the trust of both Olimar and dudeman for following up on my initial (although weak) suspicion. I don't think anybody would have found that suspicious in the slightest. But I didn't, because I wasn't trying to not be suspicious. I saw two humans arguing. It was only after reading the thread over again did I feel a major concern about the matter.
Quote from: Mashi on July 18, 2015, 04:45:17 PMIf I were a Wolf, I would have wolfed Jub3r7 a while ago since I thought he was Vigi (on that note, the Vigi was probably BlackDragonSlayer, by the way). Here's a (very) messy log between Jub3r7 and I on Facebook.
When did this log take place? Jub showed me the part where he would tell me that you thought that he was the vigi. That's what started our initial conversation. It didn't make sense to me, but I felt that Jub was telling the truth, for his part anyway. I don't see how you thinking Jub was the vigi gives you a Human lean. It's a mistake that a wolf could make, as well, from what I can tell.

All of those on Bubbles' watchlist were suspicious of you; namely me, davy, and dudeman. Wolfing Bubbles would give you credit as a human and give each of us more suspicion from the community, in the event that any of us came after you. So no, I don't believe that you would win more in keeping Bubbles alive. Is it Farfetch'd? Yes. Is it possible? Also yes. [ <-- Pokemon pun. Get it? We're in a Pokemon TWG!]
Quote from: Mashi on July 18, 2015, 04:45:17 PMYou're tunneling me because you're either being stupid as a Human or trying to push a mislynch as a Wolf.
Can't argue with that. I didn't even know what a vigi was when I signed up. So yeah. Pretty sure "Stupid human" fits the bill. Either that, or I'm a crazy good actor. Or a stupid wolf. They could all potentially work.
Quote from: Mashi on July 18, 2015, 04:45:17 PMConsidering that Yugi is confirmed Human and I think Doodle is Human, it's clear which of the two I think now.
Why do you think that Dude is a human? The only reason that I've seen you give is that he's not interested in finding wolves. How is that a lean on him not being a wolf? I read through your list of Dude posts and every single one of them was A) I'm going to go for a safety, or B) I'm busy and can't contribute to the game.
The only case that I see going for him being human is that he hasn't been on since he last posted. However, his last post was an insta, and he might have pm'ed SP right after with the wolfing before he went awol for 3 days. I'm not saying it's likely, but I'm saying it's possible. And you're going to use my speculation against me, accusing me of trying to distract you from going after me. And I'm perfectly fine with that. I just wanted to throw my suspicion out there just in case I turn out to be right. ;)
:/
:/
OK both of you give me a tl;dr; version of your defenses and I'll decide from there.
My case against Mashi:
A) "Alliance is unnecessary" (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg296483#msg296483)
B) His accusation against Olimar made no sense (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297777#msg297777)
C) "Wolf Mastermind" (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=7230.msg297764#msg297764) (Jub's words)
If you're going to read any of the text walls that I linked above, I suggest B. If you want some heavy reading, then C is also good. But those are my 3 main points against Mashi. But if you don't want to read any of them, that works just as well.
Ok so
A. I don't think that matters...
B. Kinda agree but not much??
C. What.
Therefore, my vote is on Brawler4Ever
Actually wait, no vote
I was thinking I had to vote today not tomorrow.
I'll keep thinking about it...
1. If I were a Wolf, Brawler4Ever would be dead so that I wouldn't have to deal with him this Phase. Jub3r7 was completely content with lynching Yugi.
2. The only Players that thought I was Human were wolfed. Why would I be killing off people who would let me coast when I even told you that I wasn't feeling into the game? Brawler4Ever would at least have the incentive of leaving suspicious Players alive to try to lynch me.
3. Brawler4Ever has only pushed suspicions to get lynches, not to find Wolves.
4. I've Human read Brawler4Ever for a majority of the game; I wouldn't be doing a 180 on him unless I actually believed he was a Wolf.
5. I could totally beat Brawler4Ever in Brawl!!!!!!!!!

I didn't know that we were going below the belt, Mashi. Well, if that's how you want to play it...
Spoiler
Anime sucks.

Brawler4EverNow I don't give a damn.
Don't care. Worth it. ;D
hey guys you probably need me so I'll just vote for brawler since I don't like his defence as much-
*sees that voting will cause an insta*
forever worthless :(
YUGI'S BACK!!!
Are you going to count it Slow, even though my name isn't bolded? I'm fine if you count it, what with the technical difficulties and all.
Also, for the record: No. Anime does not suck. I only said that to get under Mashi's skin as a joke. Sorry Dude. ::)
Nah he was saying he decided not to vote for you. I'll wait for a true insta or the end of the phase.
Ah ok then. Misread the post. I thought Yugi was posting from a mobile. I know how hard it is to function like that. :P
Well, to answer Mashi's points while I still can:
Quote from: Mashi on July 19, 2015, 01:11:08 PM1. If I were a Wolf, Brawler4Ever would be dead so that I wouldn't have to deal with him this Phase. Jub3r7 was completely content with lynching Yugi.
I dunno. Your defense that I've been tunneling you (not altogether false, but not entirely true either) has been working pretty well. I don't believe that you've ever seen me as a threat, so there was no reason wasting a wolfing on me. Jub was only content on lynching Yugi if there was no wolfing last Night. He was going to See Dude. I believe that he would have Seen Dude green and we would be in this situation anyway, it being between you and me. But if he had Seen Dude red then that would have made Today very simple. :-\
But I'll explain more about that below.
Quote from: Mashi on July 19, 2015, 01:11:08 PM2. The only Players that thought I was Human were wolfed. Why would I be killing off people who would let me coast when I even told you that I wasn't feeling into the game? Brawler4Ever would at least have the incentive of leaving suspicious Players alive to try to lynch me.
We don't know who was wolfed and who was vigi'd, with the exception of Bubbles and Jub. So I don't know what you mean by your first sentence. Davy/FireArrow? BDS/dudeman? BDS voted against Olimar, while dudeman voted against you. However, you believe that BDS was the vigi. Political alliances aside, a vigi is incredibly dangerous person to leave alive. I've already covered why you would wolf Bubbles, but we've agreed to disagree and there's nothing more to say regarding the matter. Jub thought you were human, that I don't deny. It's no secret that Jub thought that you were human; he convinced me to vote for Maelstrom based solely on his belief. But he was the Seer, and you couldn't leave him alive. Again, I'll explain more about that below.
Quote from: Mashi on July 19, 2015, 01:11:08 PM3. Brawler4Ever has only pushed suspicions to get lynches, not to find Wolves.
I disagree with that statement entirely. All of my discussion has been trying to find wolves. I've been completely open in my speculation, to ensure that everybody understood my reasoning so that I wouldn't make a huge mistake. This is my first TWG in forever. I'm not exactly the most efficient Wolf-hunter.
If anything, you're the one not trying to find wolves (very mature, I know). Day 1, you had a safety (in this case, voting for someone that was in no danger of being lynched), even though you pushed me to go after noc and said my reasoning was sound. I would call this "staying out of the spotlight," to use your term. Day 2, you had a weak reason (inactivity in TWG) to lynch latios, but it was better than a 7-way KITB, as you said. Day 3, you used your weak reason against latios as a weak reason for going after Olimar (They're partners? How does THAT makes sense?) - and almost died for it. Day 4, you go after Maelstrom due to "process of elimination." Day 5, you go after me, again due to "process of elimination." Not exactly the paradigm of investigative work, but it seems to be working, so who cares? ;)
Quote from: Mashi on July 19, 2015, 01:11:08 PM4. I've Human read Brawler4Ever for a majority of the game; I wouldn't be doing a 180 on him unless I actually believed he was a Wolf.
-_-
You're doing a 180 because you don't have a choice. The wolfing obviously happened, so that rules out Dude and Yugi. If you had wolfed me and left Jub alive, then Jub (claiming Seer) would have enough evidence against you to rally the others against you. The same could be said of me in this exact same scenerio. If I was a wolf, I couldn't wolf you either without giving away my identity. Jub had to die last Night for the wolf to survive.
You could have left Jub alive and gone after Dude. That would leave the game between you, me, and Jub (Assuming Yugi was still inactive). Then it would be a case of convincing Jub between the two of us. Jub is very different than Dude; one writes/reads the text walls, the other makes game-ending decisions based on one's opinion on a popular TV/Movie-art style. You tell me who you would rather have alive. :)
Dude: I have nothing against Anime. As I said before (When I thought that the game had ended and I had nothing to lose/gain), I have nothing against Anime. I thought that the game ending due to your personal opinion would be funny, which is why I didn't say anything. If you find my retort against Mashi unforgivable, then I don't know what to tell you. But in either case, I'm sorry for my comment.
Quote from: Mashi on July 19, 2015, 01:11:08 PM5. I could totally beat Brawler4Ever in Brawl!!!!!!!!!
I doubt that ;)
Quote from: Yugi on July 19, 2015, 11:20:05 PMI'll just vote for brawler since I don't like his defence as much-
I don't understand what I'm supposed to do in this scenario. Let Mashi have me killed? As either a human or wolf, that would mean me losing the game. Not exactly a fan of the idea. His initial argument against me is A) B4E's tunneling me, and B) There's literally nobody else to lynch.
How am I supposed to defend against that?
The defense that I've been using is logic and reasoning, and a whole ton of text walls, as has my argument against Mashi. The only logic that Mashi has used is that I've been tunneling him. That would make more sense to me, personally, if I had been continually voting against him and arguing with him (like dudeman, basically). I didn't have a vote against Mashi until Day 4. Until then, I'd been focused on other players; Yugi and noc, mostly. Of the 5 points that Mashi posted against me, every single one of his arguments can be countered with "I disagree." So I'm not sure how I can defend myself in this case.
Day Five is over. Brawler4Ever is dead. It is now Night Six. Night Six will end on Tuesday, July 21, 2015, at 9:00 PM EST, or whenever I receive the Wolf PM--at that point, the game will end and the Wolves will win. The only way the game will go on past this phase is if I don't receive a PM.
