AVERAGE SPEED VIII: GAME THREAD

[Zurvan]

I'm starting to see what you guys are saying about magra.

I think soah or books is a better choice for today, but I can't say that I'd be disappointed in a magra lynch, and I wouldn't fight it.

I've also gone back and looked at my notes, and realized that I had chuck as a wolf day one. I think it was his argument with MDD that changed my mind on him. I knew something was bothering me about chuck, I almost never change my reads like that. I'm going to require more thought on this.

my likely wolves list: bram/chuckles/magra/mcnutty/books/bobo

villagers: aaron (duh), mdoran, oh

acting differently than when he was villager, but i think it's due to him trying to change game to not seem so wolfy in general rather than him doing it as a wolf: fnord


vote thebram

nich,

with one glaring exception, I love your lists

I went back and read day 1, and have come to the conclusion that OH was likely a villager
Also, I dont believe MDD would be able to keep up that level of activity as a wolf

With regard to fnord, at 7:01 he voted for patton when it was 4 chuckles, 4 patton. The only way I see fnord as a wolf is if chuckles is also a wolf, and fnord thought sacrificing patton was the way to go.
I find that hard to believe so fnord is likely villager to me.

Chuckles...
At 6:40 on day 1, the voting was chuckles 4, patton 4, bobo 2. Patton chose to vote for bobo instead of chuckles.

This is minor, but both patton and chuckles were vocal about the slow pace of the thread. By itself it's weak, but posts like that enable them to look like they're around to help, without actually giving anything away.

[McNutty]

ok this is going to be my last post for the day,sorry guys but tommorrow i'll be around all day

BobO's frantic change my vote, change my read, argue with soah, blah blah blah blah..seems like BobO trying to <u>act</u> like BobO. Its so over the top that it feels like a BoBO wolf might be thinking that we are thinking 'oh, he's just a spaz" and not vote him. The desparation seems forced so im gonna have to vote BobO .

Re: the vote chuckles, bram, books, magra debate(?). i dont really have any reads and would not yet feel comfortable voting any of them.

Sorry to not be around for the last voting tonight but i really dont think i will be confident enough to want to save one of those four and conversely want to kill one over the other. I really think Bobo is a wolf distracting the village by pretending to be a villager distracting the village as he apparently usually does

[Nicholasp27]

i'm beginning to get the feeling that the wolves are trying to push bobo on us

[MDoranD]

Just when I think I have enough wolf candidates McNutty posts something like that. Im going to disregard it for the time being, as we have enough candidates on the table.

It was this part that i didnt like:

If I hadnt played before with Bobo (like mcnutty) how could I possibly make this claim? Unless I had more info to go off of (like wolf chat).

[Hornacek]

MDD, that argument isn't that good, since BobO certainly has a reputation that precedes him.

[MDoranD]

Horn,

I guess. Personally I wouldnt say something like that if i hadnt played with him. I agree that I am less and less inclined to want to vote Bobo though.

Bobo's the new Scott Howard. He's a super easy lynch, except, unlike Scott was, he's easy late in the game, as well as early.

[Hornacek]

About BobO:

a) He certainly has caused a ruckus
b) I have absolutely no read on him this game, and I really doubt others do
c) This is exactly why everyone always wants to lynch him, but he rarely gets lynched until he crosses the retardation threshold.
d) This is what makes him an excellent wolf.

In other words:
I am still undecided. Later on down the line he will have to go, but with 4 wolves left and plenty of better candidates, now is not that time.

My vote is still on Thebram. At this point I could vote for Magra if everyone wanted to swing over that way. I think I suspected McNutty early on but said he moved down myself. Sorry I can't check because I forgot to e-mail my notes from home to work last night.
