WW25 - Game Thread

[Lewwyn]

A couple of quotes from end of day 1)

I'm willing to lynch Uberfish. I'd lynch Pindicator before MJW.

And yet you lynched MJW. You seem to have rather lynched uber, pin, or slow before MJW and yet you jumped to lunch MJW.

Still willing to lynch Slowcheetah, too.

So why not say something like "everybody trust me and vote slowcheetah!" Ichabod did it and got "great" results.

More on the jumpers in a second.

[Lewwyn]

I mean...

C'mon, people, vote MJW. Trust me on this one.

C'mon, people, vote MJW. Trust me on this one.

MJW

MJW

Ok then.

MJW

MJW

I just can't quit you, WW

MJW

There has got to be a wolf in there. It's not Ichabod, its not Rowain. I do not think its pindi based on yesterday. I do not think its Brick because his vote would have been unnecessary to lynch MJW, and I think his actions yesterday were villagery.

Of these we are left with Zak and uber...

I reread the last bit of the Gossip QT as well where zak and Rowain and Azza agree to vote as a block and yet they end up not because zak and rowain vote MJW. However there is no communication about MJW. Rowain swaps after Ichabod and Zak follows even though he's stated he'd rather lynch a bunch of people before MJW. Is he trying to stay in cover with Rowain and doesn't care about who gets lynched?

Uber's vote is really suspicious as well now, though that's discussed a great deal during the night. Whether or not he was actually in danger of the lynch.

So I think I will vote for either Uber or Zak today.

[Lewwyn]

However there is a bit I found while rereading the QT. Rowain recommends chasing Jkaen Day 2 if he doesn't get active. Was Jkaen active Day 2？ He has 11 posts...

[Lewwyn]

Also, quiet novice is evil novice. Novice why have you been so quick to defend Zak? Are you trying to get in his blindspot or is he in yours?

Yeah, at this point it's undoubtedly best for the village to just come right out with everything. Pity too, if I had had a little more time before people started digging into that I could have done so without revealing everything; now, I'll have to just to get people to listen and not lynch me. :P

Yes, I'm not post restricted. Yes, it was all a lie. Yes, I am a villager. Yes, I have quite a lot to explain. Yes, I'm quite the idiot.

To start with your questioning, Yeah, my opinions on Pindicator took a harsh turn in the visible Quicktopic, but they were not completely truthful to him in thread. Like I said through Pindicator at the end of the day, when I was investigating Azza's death during day 2, since it looked so out of place, I was determined that there had to be some sort of good reasoning if I hunted enough. I saw the connections with Pindicator, and when I looked throughout the Day 1, I could see that kill as a wolf ploy to subtly get pressure off of the Pindiwolf who was almost lynched day 1.

Also contributing to my desire to push this is I have a power that is in the vig family. I don't wanna say exactly what it is or what conditions it might have to keep the wolves from getting too much info, but it was sufficient enough that the extra kill looked mighty fishy at first.

So since I was presuming Pind and Lewwyn to be wolves working together, I at first tried the laid back approach with Pindicator, make it look like I was just doing my dutiful trawling through the Lewwyn situation, while I was watching Lewwyn's response to see if I felt like I had enough to call him out on it. At this point, if I felt like I had enough convicting evidence, I was going to drop the act, lay bare all that I had, and push to lynch him. However, as Lewwyn responded to my questioning, I got the feeling that he was telling the truth. Even his vague descriptions of his power led me to believe

At this point, I was ready to drop it. The problem was Pindicator kept on GOING ON AND ON about Lewwyn being a saint, at least in my trying to wolf hunt eyes, and it got to the point there was I was convincing myself again that there was a connection there. So, I decided to try and see if I could evoke any sort of damning response to showing outrage. So, I started railing on Pindicator, to see if there was any air of "lol ignore this issue" or "it's okay, i can kill you soon anyways", trying to get a wolf slip up. But even through my odd sudden spout of hate, Pindicator ended up responding exactly as a villager would. Once again, I felt like I had to back down from my vendetta because I could not be sure of a wolf here, and let the issue lay dormant.

SO that's the reason for all of that fuss with me yesterday.

Now I'm sure you're all asking; BRick! If you are a villager like you claim why the hell would you lie and restrict yourself?!?!?! Well unfortunately for everybody, the simple and stupid truth was.... before the game I decided I was going to for the heck of it. I thought it would be fun to try and limit myself, It would help me from tripping all over my own words like I seem to have done every time since game one, which damns me as a wolf and mislynches me as a villager. This way, I would likely be for the most part ignored by wolves and villagers for the first day or two, which would give me time to get a bearing on things before I talked my way into a noose, so that maybe I can actually be fricking helpful for once.

Once I saw my role, I also confirmed that it wouldn't be a bad idea. My role is interesting and pro village, but there's a good bit of restriction on it to the point where it would probably end up doing either jack squat or nothing for the village. And if I go with the fake post restriction, then maybe they'll think I have something to hide and go for an early kill on me! Which unfortunately, didn't happen.


So at this point I'm kinda stuck, I feel like I had to reveal now that I'm being talked about, cause either I was going to get lynched, or players would waste too much time talking about me. I have a feeling that I'm decently likely to get lynched for lying anyways, but this was the best move for the overall village that I could think of at this point. THis has been a game where the village feels misguided and confused, and I can't keep hiding my attempts to hunt and research wolves behind pictures any longer, it's just not worth it and won't help village enough.

I'm completely perplexed on the Ichabod kill, there's so many questions. Neither Lewwyn or Mattimeo were killed? Maybe a doctor protected one of them, whichever was targeted. But Ichabod? Why the hell Ichabod? I have no understanding where exactly that comes from.

It's also highly suspicious that the novice-zakalwe-uberfish block is all still alive. I have an immensely storng gut feeling that AT LEAST one of those is scum, though I'm not sure exactly who. uberfish is probably the cleanest of the three, his arguments aren't always the most compelling, but his play at the least feels honest. zakalwe has been active, but moreso in a wolfish way I think. I let myself believe that he had a compelling case yesterday, but overall I've felt his large post count is mainly empty and not the on-top-of-it-hunter-zak that I remember from some of his strong village days. Also, maybe getting QT partner ROwain off his back? And novice, I can agree with Lewwyn, has been a very scummy looking quiet novice. I see very little about his play so far that would incline me to give him a pass. Yess at the start being gone is fine, but it's felt half-hearted even after he's been back, and is definitely worth a stronger look and investigation at.



So that's where I am and my thoughts are. I think this is where you all either say "Lynch all Liars!" and doom me now, or we hopefully start to catch a wolf today.

[Gazglum]

[BRickAstley]

Yeah that's pretty much the expected reaction.
