Ok, thanks for the explanation zakalwe.
I gotta say Catwalk's comment gave me a bit of a 'Wolfish vibe, too, but I was going to let it go. Being that Serdoa seems to agree with me... well, I can't decide if that means the world's ending, or I may actually be on the right track. Going to withhold judgment for the time being.
As for uberfish, I may not be the best at reading him but I kinda have to think he's joking... right? I mean, didn't he pull this exact stunt once before (in a game I was in, I think)? Or am I imagining it? If he's not joking... yeah, that truly is poor sportsmanship, regardless of whether he's a 'Wolf or a Villager - although I can't think of any reason for him to lie about being a 'Wolf, in which case yay Village! (Rather hollow victory, though.)
Very, very strange. I'd really like to hear an explanation for that one, uberfish.

In case it came across wrong, I wasn't suggesting an actual limitation. Merely that maybe we should refrain from spamming tactics in order to lure out wolves, as it can make the game really time consuming. I'll try to make fewer posts than last game (I posted a fair bit), I didn't mean to step on anyone's feet with this. In response to Serdoa saying this is sudden, I did suggest something similar in the setup thread as well.
The confession by uberfish doesn't make much sense. I assume he cares about his reputation, so I think it's some kind of ploy to establish himself as innocent. Given that he seems to dislike being wolf, such a ploy makes much more sense if he is indeed wolf than if he's villager, as it draws massive attention to him. He's trying this gambit for fun in order to make playing a bit more bearable. I can't imagine him doing this as a villager (which he seems to like playing), as it's a horrible villager play. It's also a horrible wolf play, but if he doesn't like playing wolf he doesn't have much to lose.
Stating that the setup sucks doesn't sit right with me, he had a pretty good idea about the setup before game start. So, in a bold attempt at shooting a fish in a barrel, I vote for lynching uberfish.
Roland's reaction to zakalwe's suspicion earlier struck me as a bit overboard, as zakalwe clearly stated it was nothing more than a slight hunch.

He did critizise the setup as far too wolffriendly in the setup thread. Perhaps this is his way to balance the game for us villagers.
But winning this way would be very stale so I prefer to save the uberfish-lynch for the last wolf and keep my vote where it belongs.

I'm not really sure what to make of Uber's declaration.
“The wind went mute and the trees in the forest stood still. It was time for the last tale.”

I suppose we could save uberfish for later, but 3 out of 4 wolves do have powers to use. Even if he's outed, he should be lynched as soon as possible IMO. And if he's only the vanilla wolf, that still forces the wolf team to use a power wolf for killing.
I'm not sure if it's relevant whether he did the same thing in a previous game or not. If he did it previously as a villager, he could be using that for metagaming purposes. Does anyone know which game it was?

I am willing to leave my vote on Uberfish since I was voting for him anyway. If he's a wolf we lynch him. We shouldn't save wolves for later.

Agreeing to lynch uberfish with more than 30 hours to go is bad. We need more discussion especially in this game where we don't have a seer.
So speak up people. There is no postlinit And for what is worth scooter, Ichabod and Jkaen have not posted one single word. (Jkaen might be excused).

I agree, but in my experience, Roland has a habit of overreacting a bit to accusations. So in that sense, he's acting in character.
I don't think Uberfish' post looks like a joke at all. Making a joke like that, which isn't even phrased as a joke, would be horribly bad villager play. And if he were joking, I think he would at least stick around so he could clarify when people inevitably questioned his post. I don't think he has done anything similar previously either. If he has, I'd like to see a link to it.
Bottom line, Uberfish is claiming to be a wolf. If he is villager, then he's lying, so he should be lynched anyway under the lynch all liars policy. I'm sure Twinkletoes will agree.
If you know what I mean.

@Meiz. You posted a full half hour after Uberfish made his post, without commenting on it at all. Why did you just ignore his post?

Roland, we could agree to lynch uberfish and then keep discussing other suspects anyway. I think there are very strong reasons to lynch uberfish, won't keep us from putting the rest of the day to good/bad/no use.
