shoot - mick i think
peek - dexter
protect - not dexter. will help resolve him.

Resolve me how?

if you're telling the truth you'll be killed at some stage

[Vincent the Artist]

shoot - mick i think
peek - dexter
protect - not dexter. will help resolve him.

If you aren't protecting Dexter who are you protecting? This is not an answer.

my bad.

possibly you. looked at your posts earlier and they all seem kosher.

I found the Countess insightful because she was explaining the OP and she was on the ball whenever someone posted something and wasn’t afraid to question them. Doesn’t matter if she was the SK at that stage because the SK is wolf hunting too. But she wasn’t the SK so I stand by saying she would be missed on thread.

Shoot: Gordon - the tone of their posts changed after last nights lynch

Peek: Robin - when the post count was put up this morning I was quite surprised at how high up the list they are as I could easily forget they’re a player in the game.

Protect: Dexter - no brainer really

[Dexter the Dragoon]

Ok, my thoughts on the shots. It may be more simple than we first thought.
The post announcing it has Dora taking one shot and Magda taking two.

Vig shoots at Magda day 1
Vig thinks they've missed the shot on Magda, so shoots again here on day 2
I shoot at Dora day 2

Some mechanism in play, (alpha dying possibly) that triggered all the shots happening.

The initial posts about the shots didn't have any real detail. Maybe it's just to highlight on thread that shots were used.

I'll test the theory tomorrow...maybe

Just over 4.5h to voting, can everyone commit to doing an FFA this evening?

If you're a villager and you haven't much to go on, it's worth doing anyway if it forces the wolves to do one as well - whatever they post may be useful to us later on in the game

FFA?

FFA - "Free For All" - you list your top 3 wolf suspects and give some reasoning as to why they're on your list.

If wolves have to do this, they have the conundrum of whether to include soft shade on their team mates or not whereas villagers have no such problems since it's all in good faith. It also means wolves have to take some sort of position on players so it gives them less wriggle room later on in the game

[Edward the Barber]

#FFA

Gordon - their tone since last nights lynch has changed
Robin - lots of nothingness
Weyland - Dunno where shooting me is coming from

[Vincent the Artist]

I'm going out this evening so my access will be sporadic (at a pub quiz).

FFA
Mick - voted him N1, probably will again this evening unless anything changes in the meantime. He is very much on the fence with everyone, before today was trying to stay off the radar, not drawing too much attention, and not really falling on any theories.
He ignored my posts asking for these.
Today all he seems to be doing is mass quoting of other people's posts and not drawing any conclusions.

Robin - erratic. Does this make him a wolf? I am still mulling it over.

Gordon - TWTBAW? Last night I was throwing shade, today he doesn't mention me when I was his pick last night. Inconsistencies are what I look out for playing this game and Gordon had been very inconsistent.

[Mick the Drunk]

Sorry been out all day, had a quick skim of the thread and will be voting for William based on the vote post count as it comes across as trying to be helpful and stick in peoples minds. I’ve no issue with people posting vote counts but it’s a very strange first post

It could, albeit a ridiculous play. The plan might have been to draw attention to themselves so we'd assume they couldn't be a wolf.


The fact that they've copped why we don't think Robin's play is odd suggests they've played enough to have coped the wolf autopriest mechanic though.

Yea they would have to have played a few games to recognise Robins greeting.

Vote gone in on Moe

Robin didn't I've already called them out on it. I was told earlier to ignore them that's how they play.

It was too ignore his first vote as he always votes randomly on the first vote. I wouldn’t be ignoring him not voting tonight. 

@Robin the Jester why the no vote?

Given we have had 3 shots today I assume our big has used their power for the day so we are just left with lynch.

I believe Dexter so he is in my village pile.

Robins erratic style I can’t figure out if he is just being himself or there is another reason.

I am trying to believe Amy’s confusion is just because it’s only her second game but I think if she is a wolf then her fellow wolves would be encourage her to play into the newness

Shoot - Robin
Peek - Gordon
Protect - Dexter

Im genuinely close to throwing the towel in with errors, was terrible on desktop and getting worse as the weeks gone on.

From my end, id suggest people looking at Lilly, very little outside of mechanics, I tried to post a selection but it failed miserably. The notable thing for me was she defended Robin twice about his opening post and also vote. Very peculiar, ive played a fair few games and I dont get it. 

Then the flip onto Robin this afternoon from no where. Voted top wagon both nights along with multiple others so skirting under the radar. 


Robin and Lilly potential team mates putting distance in potentially

I didnt ignore your post, I missed your post. In all honesty I threw in the towel yesterday due to errors. I actually make time and make a few posts and do some digging today, im still doing nothing according to you. 

The irony of you calling me a fence sitter when you're "mulling it over" on Robin and question in if Gordon is TWTBAW 🤣 

I had no issue with the vote on N1, wasnt active enough for my own liking, ive an issue on the narrative you're spinning today

[Robin the Jester]

what do we make of gordon being on magda both nights? magda was under no danger either night so easy way for fellow wolf to lob a nothing vote on her

[Mick the Drunk]

Shoot
Peek
Protect

Be great if everyone could get their views on this on thread as of now.
I'm withholding my own thoughts for the time being.

Hi Dexter I asked you earlier how many shots you’ve taken and got no reply.

Hi @Gordon the Cook three questions, why are you spending so much time on Dexter? 

Whats your thoughts on accusations your posting style changed last night post lynch? 

Why are you withholding thoughts?

Sorry I wasn't clear. My FFA are where my suspicious lie and my top 3. What I am mulling over and TWTBAW are the reasons I'm not voting there right now.
I will be happy to placeholder you. I will go back and read your posts again from today, as I did skim read when bring frustrated with errors earlier.

Also to add to my Robin thoughts, I was also quite surprised to see how many posts he has. I didn't think he had been that active.

I had Lilly as a new player for some reason, she's not. If you're reviewing Robin, please see if there's much in the way of interaction with Lilly. Lilly defended him but I didnt see much in terms of engagement which is also odd.

[Vincent the Artist]

what do we make of gordon being on magda both nights? magda was under no danger either night so easy way for fellow wolf to lob a nothing vote on her

This is kinda why I was probing (or as Gordon says throwing shade) at him last night.
My hesitation lies with why a wolf/SK would stick their neck out like that. They would want to stay hidden in the masses. But they weren't doing anything to help themselves later at all with their posts.

[Gordon the Cook]

Shoot Don’t know
Peek Dexter
Protect Gordon

Ah Gordon, it's Day 3, if you don't know who you'd shoot by now, when will you know?

Well up until she was killed earlier this morning it would have been Magda. I believe she was Alpha and Dexter is lying. We’re putting all our eggs in one basket believing everything he says. I’m sticking a vote in for him tonight.

[Gordon the Cook]

Who’s with me??

[Ina May the Midwife]

Just getting to post my shoot, peek protect. I'll send on an FFA as soon as I can.

Shoot - Mick (I don't follow the thought process behind questioning if I've a gun to picking me to shoot)

Peek - Amy (Not sure if the play to date is because of being newish or if using that as a bit of a shield)

Protect - Dexter (In the absence of anything specific to suggest he's not on the up and up)

[Lieutenant Grey]

7-Lincoln-200 to all units

You think Magda was the Alpha and Dexter on day 2 under no pressure took out Moe for the craic? To what end?

Why do you think Dexter is lying?

[Benjamin the Alchemist]

Right, my three top suspicions right now. Robin top. Probably where my vote is right now. I'm not sure about the others. Mick's readbacks feel more formulaic than Weylands. I feel Weyland actually outlined his readings, while Mick is mass quoting to the extent it feels more quanitty than quality. And I didn't like Mick's initial post. So Mick second. Third might be Ina; Ina felt an obvious target for the lynch tonight, and when Magda died, Ina seems to have fallen entirely off everyone's radar? Except Mick's, who said he'd shoot her.

Also feels there's a clump of people in the middle who give no opinions.

[Benjamin the Alchemist]

Voting now.

I think Gordon is in Australia after tunnelling Magda so hard 😅

Ok given there's more than one baddie left. Apart from Dexter who do you suspect?

[Kevin the Armorer]

Last review of the day before deciding on my FFA, having a look at Kevin's posts:

"I'll try and take a closer look later. I'll also try and look at who Moe might have been sussing (or clearing) before Dexter made his post" - never gets to this step though

This slipped away from me. Right... digging in...

Suspicious of Moe...
Magda consistently
Vincent mildly suspicious over the leaving out Ina incident from the one post wonder list
Dexter obviously
William said he'd peek Moe (could indicate why William was taken out if Moe was the wolf)

Moe suspicious of...
Vincent (said he'd shoot him)
Countess (said he'd peek them)

Moe was supportive of...
Robin (post 448)

His biggest interactions were with Magda (they were back and forth a bit) and Dexter (over the accusation). Other notable regaular interaction levels were with Vincent and Friar.

What to infer (assuming he was wolf)? Defending Robin could be early cover for a fellow wolf but could easily be just acting helpful. He went on record that he'd shoot Vincent (post 239) so that could be him targetting a villager. Possibly an indication that Vincent is not a wolf.

Gotta run. Swim lessons!

I feel your pain on the errors!

In respect to Robin I don’t know how many games you have played on here but the player behind the Robin account (always identifiable by his first post) always makes a random vote on the first day. I reason I mentioned it is because there is probably people playing who don’t know him and it could have became a big thing. I was in no way defending his vote and definitely never defended his opening post - I am just use to it by now having played so many games with him. 

I haven’t suddenly flipped onto him - it’s not as if in any of my posts I said I had him good

[Lilly the Millennial]

You think Magda was the Alpha and Dexter on day 2 under no pressure took out Moe for the craic? To what end?

This is one of the reason I believe Dexter as why would a wolf make such a risky play so early in the game

the art of looking busy. i hope it works in work

[Weyland the Blacksmith]

We have 13 players left (12 if we assume Boris can't post & will be dead by tomorrow morning) and the following 8 players still have to post an FFA (apologies if I've missed anyone):

Amy the Singer
Benjamin the Alchemist
Boris the Fool - presumed dead
Dexter the Dragoon
Gordon the Cook
Ina May the Midwife - has said she will do one
Lilly The Millennial
Mick The Drunk
Robin the Jester

So I think that's only 4 who have posted one:

Edward the Barber
Kevin the Armorer
Vincent the Artist
Weyland the Blacksmith (see my next post)

Anyone not posting an FFA without some sort of decent reasoning will be high on my list for tomorrow

[Weyland the Blacksmith]

My FFA for today is:

Edward - as per my review of his posts earlier (post # 972), he hasn't really accused or questioned anyone yet in the game except for the post this morning about Gordon changing his style

Robin - as per my review of his posts earlier (post # 1018), despite being one of the top posters, he hasn't really said a whole pile

Mick - haven't reviewed Mick yet but of the remaining posters, it was between him and Gordon and my two reasons for going for Mick are 1) his opening post and 2) after I posted my review of Edward, he was pretty quick in with a review of my posts (which I like) but the review seemed to stop once he found something of mine to point to (which I don't like) - was he trying to deflect for a wolf team mate? I appreciate there's a bang of OMGUS off that so it's unlikely Mick gets my vote tonight, it's enough for an FFA spot.

Gordon would be my 4th due to his fence sitting, haven't reviewed his posts though

[Benjamin the Alchemist]

Right, my three top suspicions right now. Robin top. Probably where my vote is right now. I'm not sure about the others. Mick's readbacks feel more formulaic than Weylands.

Maybe someone is busy and doesn't get on until 9pm, they explain that this evening but provides an FFA early enough tomorrow - that'd be okay IMO.

The aim here is to pressure people into giving FFAs
