I'd better vote; a busy week-end is looming.

The irony of looking at myself and uberfish for stirring things up and accusing the town of being reckless, THEN voting for me while Bigger and Brick still running around is overwhelming. You're making it way too easy for the assassin right now.

That's an interesting comment. Do you think zakalwe's play is scummy, or just anti-castle? No reaction to me voting you without stating a reason at all?

There's plenty of reasons that you could have been voting for me, some of them good, some of them bad. I don't think that vote on me is scummy or anti-town because it didn't give anything away and it wasn't decisive or anything. For all I know you're trying to gauge reactions. Zak though has done the equivalent of bandwagoning me by putting a second vote down, which I think is unwise for a variety of reasons. It's primarily anti-castle. Voting for somebody is one thing, trying to make a case which makes life easier for an assassin is another thing.

How do you interpret it as making things easier for the assassin, when bandwagonning and voting for no reason has already been established as tolerable behaviour in this game?

Because Zakalwe is not "voting for no reason" right now. I'm being vague intentionally, so I'm sorry if I'm being unclear.

oh, I wasn't being quite clear either. I didn't mean that people were necessarily voting completely randomly, just that they were voting without giving a reason for their votes.

Ok you know what, forget it. I'm going for it. Fortune favors the bold? I don't like how we're playing here. It's not THAT hard for the assassin to slip by each day, and even if he struggles to figure the king out, he can narrow it down eventually by just surviving. Anyways, I think I know who the assassin is. I think Zakalwe made a smart comment the other day. Uberfish asked him how he would play Assassin. His answer:
zakalwe Wrote:My main aim would be to stay alive as long as possible. No point in sticking my head out in any way to fish for information; the best way to narrow the field is just to wait for people to get hung. And the longer I survive, the higher the payoff of staying alive just one more day.
In terms of accusations and voting, I would be slightly wary of casting the first vote for someone. And when I did accuse someone, I would try to keep it slightly ambiguous, so that if I inadvertently target the king, the guards might think I was just trying to give him cover.
This is likely the ideal way to play assassin here. Interestingly, this is exactly how Zakalwe has played all game long. Nobody has seriously voted for him yet. He's the only person to not really take a chance so far. There's a weak rationalization for his posts. They seem subtly worded so as to smoke the king out and give himself cover. His vote on me was particularly clever. He saw a window where Uberfish put a vote on me for no given reason. He pretended to mull things over between myself and Uberfish, before settling on me. I believe he views myself and Uberfish as the most likely kings, and he's trying to figure out which it is right now by jumping on with Uberfish ( ever notice how he never is the first serious vote on somebody?). It's a clever move really. He stated several times that he wanted to look into myself and Uberfish, and nobody bit. It was like he threw it out there to see if people would react, and everybody instead held their breaths. So he's going to take it a step further and push me into the lead (tied?) for the lynch today and see how everyone reacts. I don't think we can afford to let him live another day.

Thanks. Though for some reason I thought you were voting for Brick.
