WW16: The Outlaws and The Olives

[Gaspar]

Waterbat, you are a sexy beast. So I had 3 hunches that I decided to take a look at with his tool since I actually have some solid free time today. First up, Arromir.

The reason I've avoided posting, and voting, up to this post is because: it's day one, it's my first game, and I do not really know the people involved.

There is a lot of speculation and noise going on, a large portion of which is likely caused by villagers jumping at shadows. Catching up with the tread though, the most suspicious individual for me is thestick and his relative apathy to his lynch count. All I have to go on is how I'd act in such a situation, and I'd certainly be a bit more proactive if a was a villager. Sothestickit is, and hopefully it pays off.

On our mayoral candidates, I supposezakalwe is a lock at this point regardless, but might as well vote.

Again my Newspaper Editor is failing me.

When I say I avoided posting up to this post, I meant aside from the two (non) posts made previously. Just pointing that out before that slip sends a noose around my neck.

Guess it's a good thing I searched my name before logging.

I'm not sure what I can say in my defense of voting for thestick when I did other than my work doesn't really allow for any internet access. And as I've stated before, I did not want to get too involved in all of the speculation that was going on day one.

To this point, he's contributed absolutely nothing other than attempts at self-preservation. After this post, he's chastened about his level of contribution and he gives us his first hint of scumhunting:

As for searching my name; since I stated my reason for voting thestick was his apathy toward his own defense, I did not want to follow suit in case I was getting heat for some reason. As scummy as it might sound, RL has been in the way of active participation here, but hopefully the next couple days off will give me more of a chance to post.


My top three suspects currently would be Sareln, Merovech, and uberfish, most of that based of the vote swings that happened between Mattimeo, thestick, and Bigger. That likely means that at least one, possibly two, were misguided villagers, as I doubt the whole pack would act in such an obvious manner.

I have several sheets of notes I took catching up on the thread, but considering it's almost 4:30 AM here, I'm going to wait until tomorrow before trying to organize them into coherent thoughts, as well as seeing if there are any more developments before then.

Well looks like there haven't been too many new developments since my last post.Sareln has shown up with a single post, but nothing to minimize my suspicions of him. It will be interesting to see if and where the votes swing, as currently he's in the lead.

Uberfish still strikes me as scummy as well, mostly due to his voting, and the tone of his posts has struck me as inconsistently odd. I also found it curious that he called me out, but ignored the fact I stated I suspected him in my response post. Since I know I'm town, but have admittedly played a rather scummy game so far, in terms of my awkward posts, it just seemed as potential groundwork for a mislynch, to see if anyone else would jump on.

So we basically have "suspicions" based on... well... as best I can tell in each case, the fact that many other people were voting for each candidate in each case. The part that really tweaks me is the fact that as a new player he's playing the "aw, shucks, gee, I guess I'm playing pretty scummy" card. When I think of that card, I think of Gustaran and pling's first wolf games.

There's two additional nothing posts after that. While I don't think he's the best suspect on the board, I think he reminds me a lot of the sort of classic newbie lurker wolves. Its always tough to draw scum in your first game and after thestick's collapse, I'd imagine any experience scum would be encouraging a newbie to speak very softly.

I think I'd like to see a summation of those notes, Arromir. I'd also like to see a thought put forth that didn't have to do with saving yourself.

More later...
