Day 7

The villagers were awakened by several howls during the night. Apparently the wolves were angry at the loss of two of their numbers. With heads covered by bed sheets, the villagers shook in their beds.

When morning finally came, the villagers, one by one, arrived at the town hall, looking tired and weary from being awake most of the night. To their shock, everyone who was present the day before, was present this morning.

SUMMARY: NO ONE DIED DURING THE NIGHT!

Can Cupid also be afflicted?

I don't think so. This may actually be a good thing.

It's clear the AFFLICTED was activated.

The most likely wolf target last night was makellan, because the SEER confirmed him as a villager.

The second most likely wolf target last night was hungryandhollow, because of his undisputed claim to be the CUPID.

Of the two, if I were a wolf, I'd have gone after makellan.

So now, assuming they did, and he was actually the AFFLICTED, then he's a WOLF now, and we should lynch him.

vote makellan

I say this may be a good thing, because if I'm right, then the net effect of all that is that the wolves were actually deprived of a kill last night, thus extending the game.

Well, if the wolves ate a confirmed, or at least alleged villager, as we suspected they would, then that leaves either you (if that's even possible) or Makellan as the afflicted now-wolf. Unless I'm missing something...

After reading gorillashaman's posts that confirm my thoughts, I vote Makellan.

Told you there was something odd about that one!

Vote [info]makellan

My only problem with that theory is the wolf strategy up until now. If they were continuing it, they would definitely NOT eat Makellan, because he's a confirmed villager. Instead they'd go for someone we were likely to vote for today.

But on the other hand, now that we'd figured out their strategy, they very well might change it. Especially if Dragonattack was telling the truth about masterminding it and not smokescreening, with the leader of that strat gone they might well pick another one.

And, frankly, I don't have anything to go off of besides gut feelings and suspicions anyway. So I'll vote makellan.

I think it would be ill advised to depend on any "pattern" set up by the wolves.

Well, I think it's definitely clear that the afflicted was turned last night. With the witch already dead and no bodyguard around, that would be the only way to not have any wolf kills in the night. Also, assuming that Hungryandhollow is telling the truth about being Cupid, that would mean that the target wasn't him, as he can't be both.

Gorillashaman puts forth a sound theory as to why Makellan is most likely a wolf now. I'm very tempted to get behind this theory, but I'm leery of unwittingly perpetuating a dogpile. So, I'm going to do something a little different.

Vote Gorillashaman

My main concern is that Makellan is too obvious a choice for these wolves. From the beginning, their choice of targets has been designed to confuse and mislead, never picking who we thought they would. Given my previous suspicion of him and the fact that he was the one to make this suggestion, I'm going to stick with my initial guess.

Please note that I am *not* attempting to say that Makellan is not a wolf. I'm unconvinced either way on that point. Of course, it's entirely possible that I've succumbed to WIFOM Syndrome and am totally wrong. Take my vote for whatever you think it's worth.

Based on this post, I must vote for the obvious wolf, vote makellan and state that you're next. I can't imagine, even if you're right, how your vote is helpful.

I think you've over analyzed your position in hoping to sow discord, and, in doing so, made your wolfness clear.

[info]makellan

July 25 2007, 04:52:35 UTC 4 years ago

There are two problems with the theory that I'm now a wolf.
The wolves were told of our breaking of their strategy and therefore would obviously change it.
The main use of eating a confirmed villager is to silence a voice that isn't likely to get lynched. Since I'm the most obvious candidate for munching, munching me at this point just confirms my theories of yesterday.
vote darkjuan

Of the few people left alive, I was the only one confirmed safe by the seer. Since many posts last night predicted my wolfy demise last night, all the wolves have to do to get me killed is leave me alone, at which point everyone assumes I'm the Sorcerer. Them accidentally hitting the Afflicted is good luck for them as it not only gains them a wolf, but puts the final nail in my villager coffin.

Actually, you were confirmed a villager, which is true, but the Seer couldn't tell if you were Afflicted or not. If the wolves did come for you last night, then it would only make sense that you're now a wolf too, hence no one dying.

Sorry, if you're a villager then I'll cry on your body.

Since it seems that it is gorillashaman that I must convince, let me try this.
There are 12 people left.
Two are wolves and one is Cupid
I therefore have a 1/9 chance of being the Afflicted.
I have a 8/9 chance of being normal or at least not now a wolf.
I still think darkjuan is the threat here.
I'll double the booze I owe you if you help me out of this dogpile.

sorry... my access from work was blocked for some reason tonight.

I also like gorillashaman's thinking on this. "confirmed villager" most likey a big wolf target, somehow lives through the night?

Ok fine, no happy meals on legs for me. So SAD!

Some hints to my new canine brothers (remember, I haven't met them in human form yet and know not who they are).
Eat [info]gorillashaman tonight, he's dangerous.
I figure [info]lorriet or [info]stride were one of the lovers (though not with each other), so it would be easy to catch up with the kills tonight.
Don't be so obvious as to your snacks. Remember the first half of the game wherein we were all totally confused about whom to lynch? Keep that up.

Ok...looking into the future...

After [info]makellan's furry butt hangs tonight we're going to be down to eleven people, two of which are wolves. Judging by the fact that eleven of the twelve votes are against him, it's pretty safe to assume that makellan's new furry family is leaving him to hang in the wind because he's too obvious.

[info]hungryandhollow has said that he is Cupid, but we have no way of confirming this. The only way to really tell is if he is eaten tonight (which is probable, unless he's really a wolf).

We also have a Sorceror (which doesn't matter since the Seer is dead but would be voting to hang villagers in the hopes of a wolf win), Ralh Nader (which doesn't matter much since the Seer fingered an actual wolf and the Afflicted), Lovers (which is bad if one of them gets it then the other goes too), and a Magistrate left.

People who have been suspected are gorrillshaman, darkjuan, cambler, and hungryandhollow.

Since today is decided, let's talk about tomorrow.

/sigh

Ok, look at it like this. There's 11 villagers and 2 wolves left. If I wasn't Cupid, I'd have to be a wolf. That means all the real Cupid has to do is expose me, and I get lynched and he gets eaten. That would give us 10 villagers and 1 wolf. There's not a villager alive who wouldn't make that sacrifice. I know that it can't be proven 100%, but after three days of being out of the Cupid closet, the odds of me being a wolf masquerading as a Cupid are ridiculously low.

As for gorillashaman, I find it highly unlikely that a wolf would throw the afflicted to us so readily, when their numbers are down like this. Cambler seems like his usual self. Darkjuan is too new for me to get a feeling on him. Flipperchaz is too quiet for my tastes, I'm wary of Stride, and Daedelus's "let's not vote Makellan" thing, while perfectly understandable, looks a bit suspicious.
