Half of the problems you have with me are immediately mooted by me saying Snoopy can come and stay in my room.
I told you guys at the start that I'm going to be addressing things in chronological order. I find it ironic that you accuse me of rabble rousing and then try and use that against me.

Pharaoh X Llandy said:
So basically you're just making noise, pointing out how I'm wrong to want the room to myself (I admit it it is wrong of me, yes) and rabble-rousing.
So you admit that what you did was scummy, but I'm somehow in the wrong for objecting to it?

Look, I don't want to be rude but I'm trying to wolf hunt. I get that if you're innocent then you don't want me to waste time on you, but surely you must understand that you have (intentionally) drawn a ton of attention to yourself. The fact that you're withering under the pressure makes me wonder, again, why you went through all the trouble to make so much noise.

Pharaoh X Llandy said:
Snoopy can come stay in my house, it's fine, I'm happy with that. If you're innocent, I'd discourage you from joining us. But I won't try to stop you. That's all I'll say on the matter.
I've already said that if Snoopy goes for that then it alleviates my concerns on that matter, but I'll say it again since you must have missed it. It's a bit cold to risk Snoopy when I think you're likely a wolf, but if she wants to swap with me then I'd be up for it.

Pharaoh X Llandy said:
A lot of the questions you've asked I cannot answer. I've specifically said at least twice that my theories are crazy and I need certain things to happen, and they won't happen if the wolves know what those things are. So you trying to draw me out into further arguments and to reveal my plans is kinda detrimental.
And I don't believe you. But again, I'm willing to not vote to lynch you so that we can see what happens with your plan tonight.

Pharaoh X Llandy said:
Why are you so focused on me?
I'm looking at other players too, but I'm waiting for the quote wars to die down a bit before I hunt too hard there. The day is young, and most of the town isn't even really present yet.

Pharaoh X Llandy said:
If you think I'm furry just add me onto your suspicion list
Already done.

Pharaoh X Llandy said:
and go hunting for my packmates
Working on it. If you're a wolf then I think Moss won't be. If you are a wolf then I think Twinkle will be, and possibly Awdev as well (though I'm leaning more towards an Awdev-Seff pack on that front).

Pharaoh X Llandy said:
because I guarantee the killing won't stop with my death and at this point you're basically contributing nothing.
Really? Well, I'll jot your opinion on the matter down.

Pharaoh X Llandy said:
I've said -- TWICE -- that I'll be picking up my game at weekend. I'll be actively hunting scum. I just want to point this out now, because when I start doing it at weekend I don't want to see you claim "Llandy is only hunting scum because I called her out on her non-helpfulness!"
Noted.

Pharaoh X Llandy said:
And bringing up my jokey "beat Dwarfcraft page count" stuff with Adahan? Low blow.
I'm just complaining about how hard it's going to be to sift through Day 1. I strongly disagree with Seff's "only wolves are active" post, but it is a valid strategy by the wolves to fill the days with so much chatter that finding anything valuable in them later becomes next to impossible.

Pharaoh X Llandy said:
But if you've run out of material to use against me that's fine, make all the low blows you like. I find it very revealing.
"OMGUS."
Post was skipped thanks to Xardobs recommendation  :razz:
 
I was to resign from the Whoopin fanclub, but then we had a post from Soot.

Soot has been desperate to find a train he can pull to the night, but now we see him on the defencive. It seems so silly, considering how much support one would think Xardob to need to held his head above water. That would be no support.

Lynch Vote: SootShade
 
Seff said:
Phone: I'm saying that a lurker wolf usually gets lynched for being a lurker, so the verbose wolf lives longer. That's my experience, at least.

I see. From my experience, "successfully forgettable" players who talk but do not contribute a whole lot tend to live long too because it is a lot harder to make a case against someone who has less to go off of - though it does depend on other factors. Either way, both kinds of players can live long, so I think that is one of the less important factors in making a case (though still a consideration). The reason why I bring it up is because it sounds like a defense for your play - "I think the wolves are going to be the more talkative ones, so don't mind me."


@Velup:

Which Soot post are you talking about? His response to Whoopin's attack on Xardob? And what "train" is this you speak of? The only "real" vote he has placed was on you, and it doesn't seem like he is "desperate" to find a train since he isn't trying to shove you in all of our faces (and he hasn't been jumping onto other "wagons" yet either) - sounds like a bit of an OMGUS. Also, I had a question for you here in case you missed it.
 
Velpulus said:
By what means?

You have votes on your belt, but no incentive.
By actually hunting for the scum and trying to get even people like yourself to do the same. And yes, I voted for you in the hopes it might work as an encouragement, but I'm a little dissapointed by the results. As for 'incentive', I'm not certain you have the right word there, mine would be winning the game.

Maybe you give him more credit than I do, but I counted his involvement in the Llandy train. I mean we all want her dead to stop messing with us, it would be the easiest target for a wolf, assuming the day would come to an end.

Also, I had a question for you here in case you missed it.

I responded to Seff's posts not being substantial enough and there you are asking me for a referral. If there's a sentence in context he's made to condemn the village, I'd like to see that and judge that. That's more harsh than I've been with half the village here.

Oh ym god this beer is delicious - only had ceral todya so I'll probably be drunk soon. Man, being a lightweight has it's benefits, I think.

Anyways, the recent accusation on Soot by Velup made me want to go back and take a look at a few things from him:

1. Xardob questioned his post about "morale," and when Llandy responded in agrteement wiht Velup, he immeditaely replied with "See how right I was." These is a bit of a morale component in WW, but on Day 1 when things are pretty active? Not really, at least in my view. Maybe later when lurkers start to ruin things (what Llandy suggested), but not now. Point being, one person in agreement doesn't warrant an "I am totally correct" response - it feels like he is trying to dismiss Xardob as quickly as he can.

2. He delayed responding to Orj's question. How much celear can "Are you rushing the night?" be? I can see how he would think the question is rhetiroical, but given his seemingly genuine "we should try and pick up the pace" attitude suggested by the post, it is a legitmate question to answer.

3. the "Go moss!" posts feels out of nowhere, and the "you are overestimating the skill of players" comment without further explanation seems... off? Almsot like a "coaching" attempt.

4. You told Shatari to back off on Llandy because he has "gotten as much out of it as he is going to get", which does make sense, but why not say the same about the quote war Twinkie has been getting into with me, Lep, and (to a lesser extent) Whoopin? - this is less of a suspicion than other things, but I'm just curious

5. Why does Soot's post make you not want to resign from the Whoopin fanclub? Does Soot's attack make you think Whoopin is innocent?


Seff said:
Phone: I'm rather active, though. And if I was trying to hide, wouldn't there be less people targeting me? :razz:

But there is a difference, isn't there? YYou aren't exactly trying to "swing" people your way... I can't actually think of what "your wat" is at the moment. For exmaple, AWdeV (no offense) is one of these players who usually posts, but kind of floats around more than taking "hard" stances and being "active" in the hunt, which makes it hard to make a case against him as a wolf - this is the kind of playe I am referring to. You are rather active, but not super substantial (though I did say you looking at Catholic was a stepi in the right direction).


Velpulus said:

Eh, I still am a bit suspicious of him - I just thought your reasoning against him was weird. He wasn't very involved with the Llandy trin though, no? His vote on her was a joke vote, before people got on her case about being all weird and ****. He wasn't active as far as I remember in trying to attack her, minus his mini-LoS post on her. Saying "we all want her dead" is an incorrect assumption though - I'm not super worried for meta reasons.

I responded to Seff's posts not being substantial enough and there you are asking me for a referral. If there's a sentence in context he's made to condemn the village, I'd like to see that and judge that. That's more harsh than I've been with half the village here.

Huh? You said he was "insightful," and I was asking for an instance of that. He hasn't "condemned" the village, but do you think this contributions have been helpful in the hunt?

You seem to have a very strange perception of how things went down, in that case. You should be able to note the fact that I think most of the arguments brought against her were bad, and that I've stated so a number of times. In fact, at least from my point of view I really wasn't involved in that discussion at all, but rather engaged her on an entirely different matter before that even started.

Velpulus said:

Both. You are currently my number one suspect, but I'd also like to see some proper effort from you in case you aren't a wolf.
 
@Everyone: This isn't a quote war post, you should probably read it. I'm calling Llandy out on being a villain and presenting my case. It's a big enough call that it should probably be discussed/pulled apart by the rest of the village.

@Llandy:
So the reason you wanted a room to yourself was that you suspected that wolves could only kill people in the room they're in? And you being alone in a room was somehow going to prove something about this?

That's the least convincing, most incomprehensible excuse I've ever seen. That doesn't work or make sense in any way, shape or form. The complete lack of sense it makes makes it apparent to me that it's a hastily thought up excuse that has no bearing in reality and that you simply wanted to make something up to shake suspicion off yourself with a 'whoops I was mistaken no one pay me any mind'.

Or were you just plain lying completely about actually doing anything and you were just trying to survive to day two for your 'room list' (as if you were the only person who'd notice)? If so then none of your actions make sense, putting yourself in a room on your own doesn't improve your chances over staying in the tavern to an extent that justifies your layers of lies, grandstanding and attention that you drew to yourself to achieve. If you simply wanted to survive another night and nothing more just laying low would have been the obvious and natural course. Especially when taken in light of the fact that any wolf could have just followed you in there under the guise of 'She's up to something and I don't trust her'. Case in point, Shatari.

Which brings us to Snoopy. Your acceptance of Snoopy staying in the same room as you can only be interpreted in one of two ways.
a) You're convinced Snoopy can't be a villain because they arrived late to the game and Adaham probably wouldn't let a villain role potentially be unfulfilled (I don't personally buy into this, especially if they're a minion/lesser villain, but I can see the argument for it).
b) Snoopy being infected with the plague means that they won't effect your room ability.

My Meta sense suggests to me that we have a wolf pack and a separate villain type. Probably a converter (vampire/etc) because that's pretty standard. My assumption is that the converter has something to do with the black death because of Rathyr (a wolf) being killed by the plague (i.e. the villains packs are opposed). Also going off Adaham implying conversion in his OP as has previously been pointed out. Going ultra meta the first trailer features artwork that depicts the victims of the plague walking around murdering people with knives, swords, etc.

My conclusion: You're a villain converter, thematically enough your method of conversion is the plague. You convert from any room or randomly. Your conversions dying after a few days is a method of keeping your pack from growing too large (I'm sure I've seen a similar mechanic in a previous game to keep converters under control). For some reason you need an empty room, or having an empty room benefits you more than one with other people (maybe you do some kind of 'summoning of the plague' that has a chance of being discovered by witnesses).

Your actions don't make sense as an innocent, not the lies upon lies or the inconsistent excuses. You're either playing terribly as an innocent (in which case we lose little by making our day 1 lynch a player that's consistently created a smokescreen of suspicion and drama for the real villains to hide behind) or you're a villain who's giving their game away by trying to hard.

Either way, when the lynch comes I'm pretty convinced I want it coming for you.

@Moss:

This sounds a lot like role-phishing. I understand why you would want to get a further explanation from Llandy, but trying to draw out more information is a bit fishy.
Role-phishing isn't wrong if the role you suspect is a villain one. :razz:


As for the meta discussion about wolves only being able to kill people they're in a room with, I don't think it's the case. With 8 rooms + the watch players will be spread too thin for them to be able to kill safely. Even if the plague wipes out a room a day (I'm assuming it will, thus the plague infested mill we can't stay in) it'll still be quite a while before things will get crowded enough for the wolves to be able to kill without making themselves obvious. That'd disadvantage the wolves too much for the game to be fair.

So, pretty much what ejnomad was saying.

This I want to address. I didn't use quotes but my response was to Xardob. He completely dismissed my post, to which my response was to 'punish' him and make him spend the night in seclusion. No one ever asked him how many games he had won as a villager, we just accepted the stats of 20-90% success he had on catching a wolf the first night. I don't think he carries a winning strategy and while I do enjoy his company, that comes second to me.

I'll stop and read Moss's post.
 
Sorry guys, just got home and I'm too tired to think straight, so no post from me today.

Just a quick word on the possibility of wolves being able to kill outside their rooms. I think this is true only on special circumstances. Most of the time they should conform to the general rule. But I also think it's useless to speculate about this and would advise everyone to keep this out of their hunt. The wolves have much more information than us, and any attempt to use game mechanics to find them will probably backfire.

Phonemelter said:
I ca't tell if you are being jokey here or not - if you are not being jokey and are in fact innocent, why would you want the village to be confused?
I'm being totally serious, but since the answer to this question treads deeply into game theory, I'll answer it later, if you really want me to.
 
First up, I just got back and read *most* of the thread, still need to read Moss' post up there. ^

Secondly, per Adaham's request, and out of general courtesy for the rest of you, I am going to try oh so very hard to shrink my huge post, but please bear  with me here folks, because I'm not used to having tiny post when trying to discuss every little thing. ^_^

Twinkies stalwart defence of the Pharaoh does strike me as suspicious as hell.
Nobody loves me.  :cry:
:razz:

@Lep
Okay, I'm trying to cut out crap that doesn't seem to be important to good discussion -- so that my WoT aren't as big -- but if you see anything that you feel you want a response to, or think is important, yell at me to get over there and respond to you. ^_^
Sorry, I didn't reply to your one little paragraph reply to a facetious and tiny section of a huge post. You, on the other hand, ignored almost the entire contents of a huge post that was specifically in reply to you and Shatari, until I came back and asked you to respond to them properly instead of just going 'oh he's still really suspicious'. I think those two things are very different.
I didn't think the blob of text something to reply to. You say "this is how I meant it", and either I can believe you or not; there's nothing I can do to prove that you meant what I thought you meant or the other way around. It was something that couldn't really go either way. Personally I didn't like your response, but everyone one knows I'm suspicous of you, so I didn't see the point in a response.

Also, to be clear, the line about you in my fateful LoS was mostly a joke, as were the other bits in the list annotated with a :razz: smiley. The rest of it was serious, albeit brief, speculation and musing, intended to be taken seriously if anybody cared. So no, you didn't really need to take it seriously if it had a :razz: on it, but the rest was completely up-front.
I don't think it is a good idea to throw a"joke" into your LoS this late in the game, especially something that is inaccurate. Of course I was gonna shoot down an argument that had no reasoning behind it. But you say it is a joke, and a joke it may be, but I ask that from this point forward you say: "Twinkle, you monkey brained goose, this is a joke." Just in case I don't pick up on it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this whole section of debate is to do with the fact that at the time I posted that initial comment about you, you hadn't expressed strong opinions about a specific person's guilt, instead focusing on bits of logic other people were using to challenge players. So yes, as far as I'm concerned you can't use the strong opinions you gained about me following my post to challenge my (again, only semi-serious) assertion about you in that post. Because of time.
/quote]I think I can. But tell me how useful you were up to that point, at least now you're actively hunting (even if you think it's me). I actually dug my heels in and tried to do something (and I consider bringing up you as bringing up a topic because I assumed you would respond to my post and we would have discussion.

But again, see the above. To be fair, you did say something analogous to 'Lep's not really very committed to anything in his posts; it's a bit suspicious' before my big uber-post, but again - that was hardly anything firm at the time (unless I just misread it and you were already properly gunning for me). It's only since then that you've been balls-to-the-wall about anything :razz: (n.b. smiley present because I'm immature and still think balls-to-the-wall is funny, not because the general meaning of the sentence is not genuine. Really hope I don't have to put these disclaimers on every smiley).
Well, I would like to point out that you were my biggest suspicion even up to my first post on you. I did get more into it when you respond because now I had stuff about you to get into. Not sure *exactly* what balls to the wall actually means, but I'm assuming it means actually really getting into discussion and fighting hard. I can agree with that, except for the fact that I posted about Llandy, and it was at that point that I think I really went (as you put it:razz:) balls to the wall. Does that answer your question?

I really don't think anybody suckered into a TW wolf game is going to be anything like the special princess fairy you're making him out to be. As someone currently on the receiving end of Twinkle's (hmm, fairy metaphor might've been a bad call :razz:) ire, I genuinely can't agree with anything you posted there. In fact, it's so far removed from what I, and I think everyone else, is thinking that it's almost too blatant to be suspicious. Almost. I mean, I'm not going to complain if people disagree with the way Twinkle's singling me out for attention, because I think he's wrong too, but that's not what you're doing - I have no idea what you're doing, and I don't like that.
*sniffle* I'm touched -- Lep agrees with me on something.  :razz: (yeah, I know, worthless crap I shouldn't include in my post, I'm sorry)

@Llandy
If you're having a rough time IRL, why not take a day or two off to sort things out? As long as you let Adaham know I'm sure he won't mind.
A tempting offer, which I appreciate, but this is something that has been gong on a while (and tried to have been fixed many times over) another few days won't change it. :smile: Not to mention it'd be unsportsmanlike of me to leave you all hanging. 

@Phonemelter

First,
I don't remember saying I wasn't prodded, and looking at the post I say that I was prodded, and that I can't argue with your point, but that what I did was, for what it's worth, not as bad as simply ignoring the prompt.  I said you have ground to stand on with that.
Did this answer your question? If not let me know, and I'll try and dig up that post and explain it.


The two predictions were separate, one would be wolfy and the other not so much. The redirection about what I was concerned about him was almost totally "Im rubber youre glue" defense that started giving me a headache. These were ideas that followed how I thought you were acting packy with Xardob... not how I was acting packy with Xardob.
Not sure what you're getting at, really -- yes, I pointed out that everything you've thrown at me could be reversed. You could possibly be the wolf buddy of someone you've ignored, how is this proof? If it is, then it's proof you're allies with other people here who you have ignored. I'm sorry, but I can't see how putting that into perspective for you was suspicious at all.

Seems like this tactic is his bread and butter however it didnt convince me of his innocence at all because instead of simply giving replies to my ideas he just said Im as guilty as being Xardobs packy too...
Like the way you twisted that --  it almost looks convincing. I did not throw you in as Xardob's packy, because you have addressed him; however, I pointed out that you could be -- allow me to capslock so you don't miss it this time -- THAT WITH THIS WAY OF THINKING YOU COULD POSSIBLY BE WOLF BUDDIES WITH SOMEONE YOU'VE IGNORED. I would like to point out that the word twisting you did -- indicating that I stuck you on Xardob's side --  would make my argument basically inaccurate and ****ty for one big reason, YOU HAVE NOT IGNORED XARDOB. You see, if no one caught this, and simply thought you were accurate, they would probably think of me as a very wolfy person, however, I have pointed out your error and that threat has ended. But good try though, if I hadn't caught it you may have gotten away with it.

Didnt bother to actually read Xardobs posts and give a good analysis of Xardobs deception and just quasi defended himself. Since he failed to do it after I gave him an opportunity and just felt compelled to call my answer dumb, to a dumb question (it was also the right answer and a bunch of other adjectives) I will provide my perspective:
  I gave an analysis of what I saw, which is what I've been doing all game --[sarcastic] I'm soooo sorry it didn't line up with yours. [/sarcastic] You're answer was dumb, as I pointed out (the points which you've conveniently ignored). Why don't you go back and read the points I've offer, and then try and pick them apart, and then come back and tell me how my question was dumb. Okay?

I would also like to say, because you brought it up, I find your argument against Xardob compelling, and at the exception of the lurker vote, had nothing to add. Sorry I didn't give perspective on something I didn't really find, at the time, a problem with -- I was very tunnelvisioned with my debates with everyone(which I previously mentioned).

Calls everyone crazy while later admitting he is crazy himself, nominates himself then distrusts everyone that nominated themselves.
Although this is weird -- how is that evidence at all? I could definitely see that as a gut feeling, but that's nothing in supporting your argument. Other that, I do not disagree really, but this is why I avoided discussing people who didn't really come up on my radar too much -- because I can't really add anything. (Lurker vote being an exception)

@Phonemelter

1) Just on thoughts; same thing he's accusing me of. I personally don't have a problem with it, I just wanted to point out to him that what he's saying about me being buddies with Xardob can be reflected to more than one person (including himself).

2) Didn't know he was a dad. However, saying he's "always active" doesn't mean he won't use the tactic of inactivity, rather, that sounds like a good tactic for him then, as it would catch people (looks like you included) on a blind side. Also, I was just throwing more potential reason out there about "when pressure is applied" because I was partly suspicious about it. However, I admit that I missed the part where Xardob replied to pressure, so I don't know (with Whoppin's reasoning, I am now going back to look at a lot of Xardob's post, and will hopefully find what you are talking about). Seff, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be contributing much more even under pressure, he seems to be trying harder (which makes me very suspicious) almost as if to say: "Look! Don't hurt me, I'm contributing,"  but his "contributions" don't seem to be getting any better, IMO.

3) I really wish I could, but with my job, my life, and this current game I'm not sure it's possible.

4) I'm looking, I guess commenting would be good too, huh? But I definitely made observations which I voiced (e.g. Whoopin, bandwagon in whoopin's favor for Watch, and of course Lep and Llandy, but we went over that a lot haven't we? ^_^)

5) I'm providing a quote:
Oh, please. If you can't tell the difference between not wanting to clutter the thread up, and not wanting to add extra crap to my own picture of what's going on by posting (and then having to reply to) a bunch of half-baked waffle I could pull from anywhere, you're either deliberately being disingenuous or you're just not really trying very hard. If I have a suspicion of someone, I want to put it together into something worth posting. I explicitly don't want to go off half-cocked and wind up in a ten-page argument about the semantics of the word 'question', for example, because as I explained in my post, that's not what I'm looking for. It's simple: if I post loads of walls of text focusing on one person, to my mind I'm either really really suspicious of them (not really gonna happen on day 1), or I'm not doing a good enough job of scrutinising everyone else. If I post loads walls of text but it's just heaps of stuff pointing at everybody else, I'm frankly not taking it seriously, and it subsequently makes it a lot harder for me to actually make my own position clear on things because I've thrown my poo all over the walls.

So yeah, I'll ask questions when I have them, and I'll post at exactly the frequency I need to ask and then chase the questions I want answered, and to answer other people's questions of me. Then, when I have a position on somebody's wolfiness, I'll post it. That way, I'm not spending all my posting time flapping about trying to explain my exact position on whoever's flavour of the moment, because it'll be clear already. I did it once, in response to a couple of people whinging about how I'm being too quiet, to show that I'm paying attention to the proceedings and to try to give some insight into my thought processes, such as they are. That's the only time it'll happen, so read whatever you please into it.
So you're totally guilty of what Phonemelter is trying to throw my way about "not bringing anything up". I just don't get it -- he's pegging me for something I'm not doing, yet doesn't peg you with it.

And that's totally not how you portrayed it last time, and I'm sorry that you come up in my radar the wrong way, but your excuses aren't sitting right with me, and apparently not right with Phonemelter either, because he's yelling at me for doing things that you are doing and I am not.
I'm saying that you're pointing out a fault of mine (which I don't have, or at least I didn't until you narrowed down on what exactly you meant), while at the same time Lep is doing exactly what you're trying to call me out for, so if it applies to me, then it should apply to Lep too, right? I know you didn't come out and say it, but if it's a problem with one person doing it, then it's sorta implied when the other peson is doing it, too.

I suggest you address something other than his jokes (which seem to account for most of the 'contradictions') and that he's annoying. Honestly, by now I've come to think that the more infuriating Xardob is to play with, the more likely he's innocent, and I really don't see what he's doing as directly harmful either. The one valid point you do bring up is that his actual contribution to the hunt has been lacking, which is why I do agree that he's worth keeping an eye on. However, overall your case isn't strong enough to warrant your certainty or dismissing everything he's said out of hand either, so I'm hoping you'll get about to something other than slightly hypocritical tunnel visioning at some point.
Just want to point out that since Whoopin has started to really engage in discussion he does not really appear tunnellvisioned to me, actually, he's done a fine job of bringing up multiple points and managed to engage in multiple discussions.

Alright folks, I tried to not be so trigger happy with the quotes and stuff, please let me know if I did a better job not making a boring and long post. Gotta go now, I don't have time to edit my post before posting, so please try not to be too upset with any mistakes you've found. ^_^

~Twinkle, who notes that he has a title, and if anyone could elaborate on what exactly the title means, he would appreciate it
 
****! That's not meant to be a giant quote!

~Twinkle, who wishes he did have time to look over that post before posting
 
That's a good post Moss. I'm glad to see you back with us.  :grin:


Next person that talks about mechanics and not about players and how they could be the big bad wolf gets my vote or the lurker vote. We are 36 pages in and discussion about the mechanics and other pointless **** (we don't know until we get farther in the game or Adaham actually gives us the exact limitations of what these rooms do) is starting to wear on me.

@Whoopin

Really glad to see you not throwing around your packmates day 1 crap this game.  :razz: I called you out on that **** last game but NOBODY of course listened. Just happy to see you not doing it here.

Phonemelter said:
I ca't tell if you are being jokey here or not - if you are not being jokey and are in fact innocent, why would you want the village to be confused?
I'm being totally serious, but since the answer to this question treads deeply into game theory, I'll answer it later, if you really want me to.
Its the reason why Xardob has trouble living passed day 2. If hes too innocent he gets lunched and keeping the wolves on their toes makes it harder to lunch him without drawing OMGUS suspicion. However his use of the word confuse is not accurate, should simply be "suspicious enough to be lynchable" would be ideal. I figured this out a long time ago hence Ive been termed "Whoopin just being Whoopin".

He has done well confusing which is also highly suspicious but has failed on actually keeping wolves on their toes or at least convincing me hes here to assist. Hes doing exactly what he did in the last game and should hang for it.

@ejnomad
Havent built a proper case yet but one will come cause I dont want to disappoint.  Also this discussion is already ripe, a ego hunch at this point my just be overkill to the activity.

First up, I just got back and read *most* of the thread, still need to read Moss' post up there. ^

Secondly, per Adaham's request, and out of general courtesy for the rest of you, I am going to try oh so very hard to shrink my huge post, but please bear  with me here folks, because I'm not used to having tiny post when trying to discuss every little thing. ^_^

Twinkies stalwart defence of the Pharaoh does strike me as suspicious as hell.
Nobody loves me.  :cry:
:razz:

@Lep
Okay, I'm trying to cut out crap that doesn't seem to be important to good discussion -- so that my WoT aren't as big -- but if you see anything that you feel you want a response to, or think is important, yell at me to get over there and respond to you. ^_^
Sorry, I didn't reply to your one little paragraph reply to a facetious and tiny section of a huge post. You, on the other hand, ignored almost the entire contents of a huge post that was specifically in reply to you and Shatari, until I came back and asked you to respond to them properly instead of just going 'oh he's still really suspicious'. I think those two things are very different.
I didn't think the blob of text something to reply to. You say "this is how I meant it", and either I can believe you or not; there's nothing I can do to prove that you meant what I thought you meant or the other way around. It was something that couldn't really go either way. Personally I didn't like your response, but everyone one knows I'm suspicous of you, so I didn't see the point in a response.

Also, to be clear, the line about you in my fateful LoS was mostly a joke, as were the other bits in the list annotated with a :razz: smiley. The rest of it was serious, albeit brief, speculation and musing, intended to be taken seriously if anybody cared. So no, you didn't really need to take it seriously if it had a :razz: on it, but the rest was completely up-front.
I don't think it is a good idea to throw a"joke" into your LoS this late in the game, especially something that is inaccurate. Of course I was gonna shoot down an argument that had no reasoning behind it. But you say it is a joke, and a joke it may be, but I ask that from this point forward you say: "Twinkle, you monkey brained goose, this is a joke." Just in case I don't pick up on it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this whole section of debate is to do with the fact that at the time I posted that initial comment about you, you hadn't expressed strong opinions about a specific person's guilt, instead focusing on bits of logic other people were using to challenge players. So yes, as far as I'm concerned you can't use the strong opinions you gained about me following my post to challenge my (again, only semi-serious) assertion about you in that post. Because of time.
I think I can. But tell me how useful you were up to that point, at least now you're actively hunting (even if you think it's me). I actually dug my heels in and tried to do something (and I consider bringing up you as bringing up a topic because I assumed you would respond to my post and we would have discussion.

But again, see the above. To be fair, you did say something analogous to 'Lep's not really very committed to anything in his posts; it's a bit suspicious' before my big uber-post, but again - that was hardly anything firm at the time (unless I just misread it and you were already properly gunning for me). It's only since then that you've been balls-to-the-wall about anything :razz: (n.b. smiley present because I'm immature and still think balls-to-the-wall is funny, not because the general meaning of the sentence is not genuine. Really hope I don't have to put these disclaimers on every smiley).
Well, I would like to point out that you were my biggest suspicion even up to my first post on you. I did get more into it when you respond because now I had stuff about you to get into. Not sure *exactly* what balls to the wall actually means, but I'm assuming it means actually really getting into discussion and fighting hard. I can agree with that, except for the fact that I posted about Llandy, and it was at that point that I think I really went (as you put it:razz:) balls to the wall. Does that answer your question?

I really don't think anybody suckered into a TW wolf game is going to be anything like the special princess fairy you're making him out to be. As someone currently on the receiving end of Twinkle's (hmm, fairy metaphor might've been a bad call :razz:) ire, I genuinely can't agree with anything you posted there. In fact, it's so far removed from what I, and I think everyone else, is thinking that it's almost too blatant to be suspicious. Almost. I mean, I'm not going to complain if people disagree with the way Twinkle's singling me out for attention, because I think he's wrong too, but that's not what you're doing - I have no idea what you're doing, and I don't like that.
*sniffle* I'm touched -- Lep agrees with me on something.  :razz: (yeah, I know, worthless crap I shouldn't include in my post, I'm sorry)

@Llandy
If you're having a rough time IRL, why not take a day or two off to sort things out? As long as you let Adaham know I'm sure he won't mind.
A tempting offer, which I appreciate, but this is something that has been gong on a while (and tried to have been fixed many times over) another few days won't change it. :smile: Not to mention it'd be unsportsmanlike of me to leave you all hanging. 

@Phonemelter

First,
I don't remember saying I wasn't prodded, and looking at the post I say that I was prodded, and that I can't argue with your point, but that what I did was, for what it's worth, not as bad as simply ignoring the prompt.  I said you have ground to stand on with that.
Did this answer your question? If not let me know, and I'll try and dig up that post and explain it.


The two predictions were separate, one would be wolfy and the other not so much. The redirection about what I was concerned about him was almost totally "Im rubber youre glue" defense that started giving me a headache. These were ideas that followed how I thought you were acting packy with Xardob... not how I was acting packy with Xardob.
Not sure what you're getting at, really -- yes, I pointed out that everything you've thrown at me could be reversed. You could possibly be the wolf buddy of someone you've ignored, how is this proof? If it is, then it's proof you're allies with other people here who you have ignored. I'm sorry, but I can't see how putting that into perspective for you was suspicious at all.

Seems like this tactic is his bread and butter however it didnt convince me of his innocence at all because instead of simply giving replies to my ideas he just said Im as guilty as being Xardobs packy too...
Like the way you twisted that --  it almost looks convincing. I did not throw you in as Xardob's packy, because you have addressed him; however, I pointed out that you could be -- allow me to capslock so you don't miss it this time -- THAT WITH THIS WAY OF THINKING YOU COULD POSSIBLY BE WOLF BUDDIES WITH SOMEONE YOU'VE IGNORED. I would like to point out that the word twisting you did -- indicating that I stuck you on Xardob's side --  would make my argument basically inaccurate and ****ty for one big reason, YOU HAVE NOT IGNORED XARDOB. You see, if no one caught this, and simply thought you were accurate, they would probably think of me as a very wolfy person, however, I have pointed out your error and that threat has ended. But good try though, if I hadn't caught it you may have gotten away with it.

Didnt bother to actually read Xardobs posts and give a good analysis of Xardobs deception and just quasi defended himself. Since he failed to do it after I gave him an opportunity and just felt compelled to call my answer dumb, to a dumb question (it was also the right answer and a bunch of other adjectives) I will provide my perspective:
  I gave an analysis of what I saw, which is what I've been doing all game --[sarcastic] I'm soooo sorry it didn't line up with yours. [/sarcastic] You're answer was dumb, as I pointed out (the points which you've conveniently ignored). Why don't you go back and read the points I've offer, and then try and pick them apart, and then come back and tell me how my question was dumb. Okay?

I would also like to say, because you brought it up, I find your argument against Xardob compelling, and at the exception of the lurker vote, had nothing to add. Sorry I didn't give perspective on something I didn't really find, at the time, a problem with -- I was very tunnelvisioned with my debates with everyone(which I previously mentioned).

Calls everyone crazy while later admitting he is crazy himself, nominates himself then distrusts everyone that nominated themselves.
Although this is weird -- how is that evidence at all? I could definitely see that as a gut feeling, but that's nothing in supporting your argument. Other that, I do not disagree really, but this is why I avoided discussing people who didn't really come up on my radar too much -- because I can't really add anything. (Lurker vote being an exception)

@Phonemelter

1) Just on thoughts; same thing he's accusing me of. I personally don't have a problem with it, I just wanted to point out to him that what he's saying about me being buddies with Xardob can be reflected to more than one person (including himself).

2) Didn't know he was a dad. However, saying he's "always active" doesn't mean he won't use the tactic of inactivity, rather, that sounds like a good tactic for him then, as it would catch people (looks like you included) on a blind side. Also, I was just throwing more potential reason out there about "when pressure is applied" because I was partly suspicious about it. However, I admit that I missed the part where Xardob replied to pressure, so I don't know (with Whoppin's reasoning, I am now going back to look at a lot of Xardob's post, and will hopefully find what you are talking about). Seff, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be contributing much more even under pressure, he seems to be trying harder (which makes me very suspicious) almost as if to say: "Look! Don't hurt me, I'm contributing,"  but his "contributions" don't seem to be getting any better, IMO.

3) I really wish I could, but with my job, my life, and this current game I'm not sure it's possible.

4) I'm looking, I guess commenting would be good too, huh? But I definitely made observations which I voiced (e.g. Whoopin, bandwagon in whoopin's favor for Watch, and of course Lep and Llandy, but we went over that a lot haven't we? ^_^)

5) I'm providing a quote:
Oh, please. If you can't tell the difference between not wanting to clutter the thread up, and not wanting to add extra crap to my own picture of what's going on by posting (and then having to reply to) a bunch of half-baked waffle I could pull from anywhere, you're either deliberately being disingenuous or you're just not really trying very hard. If I have a suspicion of someone, I want to put it together into something worth posting. I explicitly don't want to go off half-cocked and wind up in a ten-page argument about the semantics of the word 'question', for example, because as I explained in my post, that's not what I'm looking for. It's simple: if I post loads of walls of text focusing on one person, to my mind I'm either really really suspicious of them (not really gonna happen on day 1), or I'm not doing a good enough job of scrutinising everyone else. If I post loads walls of text but it's just heaps of stuff pointing at everybody else, I'm frankly not taking it seriously, and it subsequently makes it a lot harder for me to actually make my own position clear on things because I've thrown my poo all over the walls.

So yeah, I'll ask questions when I have them, and I'll post at exactly the frequency I need to ask and then chase the questions I want answered, and to answer other people's questions of me. Then, when I have a position on somebody's wolfiness, I'll post it. That way, I'm not spending all my posting time flapping about trying to explain my exact position on whoever's flavour of the moment, because it'll be clear already. I did it once, in response to a couple of people whinging about how I'm being too quiet, to show that I'm paying attention to the proceedings and to try to give some insight into my thought processes, such as they are. That's the only time it'll happen, so read whatever you please into it.

haha its supposed to be obnoxious since thats the cool thing to do now. But Ill take your request into consideration since you asked so nicely.  :razz:

Maybe Adaham should take a poll to see everyones opinion if I should provide my ego guess. That way you have an chance to be spared.

Real post coming soon son is almost asleep, keeps walking outta his room and hugging my leg real pathetic style.

Also I gotta point out that the amount of time it took Xardob to not answer Faces question I was able to deliver the answer, its not like it was super secret hard to explain game "theory". He just wanted to spread out his usefulness and posting more clutter.
