uberfish Wrote:Humans. Catch a wolf and argue into the early hours of the morning anyway... but a couple of good points have come up.
1) I agree that Zakalwe's voting behaviour so far has been generally suspicious.
2) Bruindane made the good point that assuming one of PB/Rowain was a wolf and one a villager would be bad. I agree with this. They could both be villagers and wolves just taking advantage of their argument.
Agree with uberfish yet again. Both points are very well put. PB and Rowain don't seem to have the normal wolf behaviour, because they are putting themselves into a 1-1 situation. If one is lynched and turns out a villager, the other will probably be lynched next. And that wouldn't be good for the wolves.
I'd like to take a closer look at Zakalwe too. I haven't paid much attention to his posts until now, but he's indeed acting a little strange.
Since I'm sensing that I can be killed this night, I'll give some thoughts while I still have time. I can't make a detailed case, with posts and everything, because I don't have time, but I hope it can start some discussion.
My prime suspect is Jkaen. He seems to be playing like a not so experienced wolf.
Why?
1st His Votes: He never justified one of his votes until now. When I talk about justification, I mean a proper game one, one where you state why you think that person is supicious. So, what were his votes until now:
Day 1:
Meiz -> Just a joke RP post. But MNG called Jkaen about it in a post, saying:
"My methodology, since I haven't enough time to make a strongly informed decision (not that any decision will be well informed without a role-claim) was to pick a generally quiet villager who is not voting with any particular bloc for either mayor or lynch target. That leads me to Jkaen".
This lead to Jkaen second vote:
MJW -> No reasons given for the vote and it happened right after someone called him about his first vote. It's just too defensive play to do it, in my opinion. It gets worst when we factor that the guy who voted was MNG who was clearly away from the game. I don't see a reason for this switch, Jkaen didn't explain why he was voting for MJW and I don't see why he would switch from Meiz so fast after being called.
After that, Meiz called this behaviour, saying that it lead him to believe Jkaen as a suspect:
"Jkaen. I think Mr. Nice Guy described him well as a generally quiet person, who is avoiding voting blocks. Of course Jkaen switched his vote to MJW later, but that was after this comment, so I still find it a bit suspicious. More suspicious to me personally is the fact, that Jkaen is painting a target on my back with his roleplay. And as it is "just roleplay", he can easily switch his attitude later if necessary".
No defense was made, though, since no one seemed to care about Meiz comment with all the other things going on.
2nd Day:
Mr. Nice Guy -> Easy vote, he was the player with less votes. Easy to justificate and easy to switch out from.
Pocketbeetle -> He switched to PB because Rowain said to do so, then proceeded to wait for ages while the justification wouldn't come. He even called Rowain about. So, why not switch your vote? Why keep the vote on a player just because another one said to do so.
It's another "easy vote", in my opinion. Again, easy to justificate and easy to switch out from.
Rowain -> Joining the bandwagon after PB's post. Again, easy vote, no reasons given.
2nd. The only posts that Jkaen made that had some content were meta posts and defensive posts.
But even the defensive posts aren't much "to the point", It seems to be that he only talks about the weak parts of the argument. It seems to be very dodgy.
Overall, it seems to be a strange behaviour. Very defensive, not "offensive" at all (no new theories, no justification of posts).
I'm not very secure with this, so I'll leave it here for now, waiting for the group wisdom and judgement.
