Sent TDM's orders.

By the way, for all y'all players, CC me your orders to Kronic when you send them. I need to know your plans and what's happening when I come back, and it'll also help if Kronic has any questions about your orders.

No doubt some of you can already do 50 consecutive push ups, but let's face it, you're in a big minority.

I ordered Vieira to vote for AWdeV as well.

Sigh. Eternal, you make a very good case against AWdeV and I'm finding myself a lot more convinced. I still think we're looking for an unassociated or anti-Pillock wolf, but I don't want to rely on that gut feeling with so much evidence against AWdeV and so close to the lynch.

Unvote
Vote: AWdeV

Staying at my girlfriends, sorry I haven't been around. Date night. I will check up again tomorrow, but at this time, I want to

Vote: Vieira

I really think he's a better bet than AWdeV at the moment. His lack of activity, meaningless posts, and lack of association with pillock makes me think he's the most suspicious at this time. If we have to to avoid a no lynch, I'll switch my vote to whoevers in the lead tomorrow, and I will order a dissenting guardsman to vote for the lead if I have to.

Eternal, you bring up good points on AWdeV, but I truly do not believe that so many members of a pack would tie themselves so closely together. It would just be stupidity on their part, and I don't think that the wolves would be that idiotic. Of course, that brings up "but maybe they're planning on that!" but I don't think so. I think we should be looking for suspects in the group of people who were either neutral with respect to Pillock and Icy, or at odds with them. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I really think we should be running with the assumption that we're looking for someone who they didn't really defend. AWdeV is a good suspect. I've read your posts more thoroughly and with a clear head, and you have brought up good points, but there's just a nagging feeling I have that you're looking in the wrong direction.

Also, with regards to Magorian, I thought I made it clear in my post, but I was saying that I think it's possible that he is a wolf. The evidence that you've given for him being innocent isn't clinching and I don't think we should discount anyone at this point as a potential wolf. Maintain situational awareness, essentially.

I'm curious to hear from Vieira at this point. We all know where most of us stand, but I have noticed that Vieira has said very little. I also can't recall him interacting with Pillock or Icy at all, which fits with my instinct that we're looking for someone who wasn't closely associated with the known wolves. His last post here:


Really didn't contribute much at all, doubly so because he never followed up on his line of thought about Jean's sputtering. He takes a few sentences to say that Jean's comment didn't really make sense to him, then did not draw any connections between his comment and potential wolfiness, throw out any accusations, follow up on this comment, or really do anything. Essentially, this post meant nothing; all he said was "this don't make no sense to me."

I'm looking back over more of his posts now, and they all seem in the same vein. He points out illogical statements but doesn't do anything about it. As Shatari pointed out, it looks like he's doing something to wolf hunt and help, but he never follows through with an actual accusation or drawing any real suspicions, which in my mind looks like he could just be trying to coast along with the illusion of contributing. Going back over my old LoS, I also find that I had noted even then that the guy wasn't doing any detailed analysis. His lack of posting previously was the result of "a lack of confidence" in his ability to play, which, now that I think about it, is rather silly. The game isn't really about confidence, after all; it's about stirring the pot and seeing what rises. We had two innocents lynched before we got a wolf. None of us should have any confidence in our ability to wolf catch, but we're still actively posting a lot, because it's about finding anomalies in behavior and unexplained changes in thought at this point. If I recall correctly, he was also somewhat of a bandwagon man, which also stirs my suspicion a bit. I think Vieira's my top pick right now.



With Shatari, I don't find Yeomann a particularly convincing suspect right now, either. Honestly, I'd put AWdeV before him, because although he didn't interact with Pillock and Icy much, the argument against him based off of his statement that he encountered brawling rules previously seems weak to me.

More later.

If you installed your mods with NMM, you can switch to the Mods tab. There'll be a little yellow exclamation mark next to all the mods that are out of date. Just click on the most recent version information on each of them to go to their mod page and update. As long as you update any mods that can be updated, you should be fine. If weird things happen or your game crashes, you can just disable mods until you find the culprit.

I apologize for my recent reticence. As (at least the BoP players know) I haven't had much time lately, which isn't enough time (for me at least) to do decent posts.

That said, I have some time to myself right now. As I'll be up at dawn again tomorrow, it won't be of the same quality as my previous posts, but it should be decent. I've managed to get a rare couple hours to myself tomorrow evening, so I'll try to spend it browsing this thread and really digging deep.

I'm unconvinced against the case against AWdeV. It's weak and based off of two players. One is MaHuD's gut feeling, without any evidence. The only other game I've read through was the one that was the reality show one, and I seem to remember that's how MaHuD always plays. That said, it's a hell of an uncompelling argument to just say "He's a wolf because that's how I read his posts to be." The other is, of course, Eternal, who's better about it. However, I haven't noticed AWdeV getting caught in any lies, switching opinions, or any damning things. The only thing it seems to be
based off of is Eternal's observation that AWdeV has been defended by Pillock in the past. While it's true that Pillock may have attempted to defend his packmates vigorously, I doubt that all the members of the wolf pack would have tied themselves together so closely. As I said before, we should not assume that just because Pillock and Icy were tied together at the hip, that other wolves will be so closely associated with either Pillock, Icy, or both. This is especially true if we take what the Undercover Inquisitor's hint that there are three wolves in the game to be true, as if all three wolves banded together, they'd essentially be ****ed if one of them was taken out.



For this reason, I don't support a lynch against AWdeV. I would rather examine some of the players who were hostile to Pillock, honestly. Off the top of my head, I can only recall myself and Magorian Aximand.

I'm not going to comment on myself. That's for others to do.

Magorian Aximand: Now, with Mag, I disagree with Eternal's assessment that he's pretty much a guaranteed innocent. And here's why:

He hit Pillock hard the day before Nipplemelter's first death. Following Pillock's promotion and subsequent disclosure of his role, he gradually became less suspicious of Pillock and more suspicious of myself. Logical for a innocent, but also plausible for a wolf. I'll give a list of reasons that are popping into my head as to why it's not implausible at all that Magorian is a wolf:

[list type=decimal]
[*]Magorian's attack against Pillock gives me the sense that he may have been simply trying to distance himself. Why? Well, he hits him rather heavily the day before Nipple's death. Then, Nipple dies, and Pillock announces his new role, giving Magorian the chance to make it appear that he was genuinely attacking Pillock and then stopped focusing on him the day after. If they were wolves together, this seems to be an ideal situation, as it creates distance and allows almost no suspicion to fall on them for dropping their arguments against each other.
[*]It allowed Magorian to create suspicion against someone else - he changed the majority of his suspicion to me, as the other ranking officer, after Nipple's death.
[*]When Nipplemelter voted for Pillock instead of Icy, Mag, as Eternal pointed out, "*****ed him out". This, on its surface, seems to be something that would actually suggest that Magorian is innocent, as he wanted to secure a lynch, and it would have been a packmate. I can think of three things that would counter this argument. Firstly, it was a foregone conclusion that Icy was going to be lynched. Everyone in the entire game thought he was a wolf. He didn't need Nipple's vote to make Icy die; it was pretty much guaranteed, as far as I remember. Penultimately, Pillock, a much less suspicious character at this point, was much less likely to be lynched, and Magorian may have wanted to defend him. And finally, leading the charge against Icy (who everyone already thought was suspicious) and ensuring that he was lynched and discovered as a wolf would have cemented Magorian's reputation as an innocent.
[*]Pillock, who had been heavily suspected the day before, was able to cast doubt in everyone's minds as to his guilt by revealing the role - if he and Magorian planned this out, it would have had perfect results for both of them.
[*]No wolf would have had no hesitation throwing another wolf under the bus, especially a wolf like Icy, who had been suspicious to people from Day 1 for lurking.
[*]It's entirely plausible that the whole thing about the wolves forcing Magorian to vote for Volkonski was contrived, as pointed out before, to simply make him less suspicious. Furthermore, a forced vote for Volkonski would have been entirely safe, as Volkonski wasn't active at all, so the forced vote could not have been traced back to any wolves.
[*]Magorian is, from everything I've seen of him, crafty and cunning enough to engineer all of these to make himself appear completely innocent.

More to come when I'm not so tired. Good night, y'all.

Kronic was the first to send me a message; he will be the first guest host!

Send your orders to him. One copy, if you please. I'll send him your nation cards and explain how it works. Thanks, guys.

It's an anti joke.

It's a Triss armor, actually. The armored version has a shirt in the midriff, IIRC. I normally switch between Hunter Armor for random combat and Triss for clothing on that character, anyway.

Okay, as we all know, I've had very little time. I won't for the next couple weeks, so I'm going to do this.

Future hosts for BoP can process the next couple turns, just PM me and I'll give you the basic stuff you need to know, as well as nation cards and what not. And, players, I hate to do this to you, but please locate your most recent orders sent to me and send them to the temporary host. Lastly, I'll leave it up to the temp host whether they write out the world report or whether I do it, but if y'all do it, please make it well-written.

Of course, if you're playing and you're a future host, you're a no go for temporarily hosting.

My most recent vampire lord in Skyrim:

This one is better if told in person. You'll either love it or hate it.



A man is sitting at a bar, drinking, minding his own business, when another man walks in with a loud bang, drawing everyone's attention to him, his companions, and the $500,000 sports car behind him.

The man is dressed in an Armani suit, with jewelry, expensive sunglasses, and a tie that probably cost more than the man sitting at the bar makes in a month. On each of his arms are two gorgeous supermodels, all cuddling up to the man and obviously seriously into him.

He also had an orange for a head.

The man sits down at the bar with his lady friends, slams down a few hundred dollar bills, and says, "Barkeep! Next forty rounds for everyone in the bar are on me! Let's get a party started!"

The barkeeper begins passing out rounds and pretty soon the bar is completely alive, with music, people dancing, everyone dancing around and chatting. The man looks at the barkeeper, who just shrugs at him. He asks the barkeeper, "What do you think is up with that guy?" The barkeeper says "I dunno. Maybe you should ask him?"

He looks around and finds the orange-headed man sitting in a booth. In the minute that he watches him, at least four women slip their numbers into his jacket pocket, but he somehow looks pretty dejected, even though he started one of the biggest parties in the city. Finally, the man tosses his shot back and walks over to the orange-headed man.

"So, dude, great party you started!"

"Yeah, enjoy it. Everything's on me, buddy."

"You know, I'm kind of curious. You walk in here with these great looking girls, you're obviously loaded, you've got a nice car, and you're generous as hell. Also, you have an orange for a head. I gotta ask you, what's your story? I mean, why are you doing this?"

"Well, not a day goes by that I don't remember it. Basically, this is what happened. I was walking along the beach, depressed about my life, pretty much thinking my day was as bad as it could have gotten. I stubbed my toe while I was walking, and I remember swearing but seeing this old lamp. So I pick it up and dust it off a bit, and suddenly a massive genie pops out. And he says to me, with this thunderous voice: 'You have released me from a thousand years of imprisonment. I am in your debt, and will grant you three wishes that will instantly be fulfilled exactly how you want them to be, in gratitude for me freedom.'"

The man is amazed by the story, as the orange-headed man continues.

"So, I said, my first wish is to be fabulously wealthy. Wealthier than anyone in the world. I want endless pockets, I want to be so rich that I can have clothes made out of hundred-dollar bills. So the genie snaps his fingers and says, 'Done!' I look down at my clothes, and they're made out of hundred dollar bills. I reach in my pockets, and I throw out fistfuls of money. No matter how much I pull out, there's more. So I'm thinking, hell yeah, this is sweet! I go on and I say, for my next wish, I want to be irresistible to any woman in the world. I want to be able to have sex with any woman that I want."

The orange-headed man sighs and takes another swig from his bottle of whiskey. "Well, the genie says 'Done!' Suddenly all the women on the beach are giving me longing looks and batting their eyelashes at me, the ones who walk past are smiling and trying to get my attention. It was goddamn awesome. I thought everything was goddamn sweet at this point."

The orange-headed man sighed again and finished off his bottle of whiskey. After a few moments of silence, the man prodded him.

"Well...that explains the women and the money, but not the orange for the head."

"Alright, alright. Well, after my second wish, the genie said 'You have one wish left, mortal.' And...I thought really hard. But you know, this is where I think I went wrong. For my third wish, I wished that my head was a giant orange."

Does this warrant a new thread?

Tifa Lockhart had nice titties.

As you increase in level, random events associated with it will begin occurring, until you reach the threshold at which point you'll begin the questline.

Frankly, I feel vindicated about Pillock. I think all of us were expecting that Werewolf was a Werewolf, but after everything, it's a confidence-booster for me knowing I was homing in on the right person. My speculative scenario, however, turned out to be incorrect, as no one took command of the Navy following the deaths of Nipple and Pillock; therefore, no one would have succeeded command of the Army had Eternal and I both been killed.

Regardless, I'll be looking into Pillock and Icy's connections to others later on and browsing through the thread later. As pointed out, Pillock did defend AWdeV a fair amount, but I think that we shouldn't assume that people that Pillock defended are more likely to be related just based on how he interacted with Icy. People he sparred with, including Magorian, Eternal, and yes, even myself, shouldn't be discounted just because he and Icy joined themselves at the hip.
