Werewolf 17: Grim Prophecies - THE KING IS DEAD

Haha, owned Mafia.

Well then, if I don't get lynched today, at least I know who to protect tonight

Time for some analysis:

Known roles: 
Good: nuttyturnip (Samaritan), Zergrinch (Shaman), Smelnick (Mason - dead)
Evil: Yeldarb (werewolf - dead)

I'm going to toss out a vote based on mere circumstantial evidence. Ryuu missed the vote, and the Mafia missed their kill. I am voting for Ryuu.

When was it revealed that Zerg is a shaman? I know Rollins was a shaman.

I think he just outed himself. Not a bad tactic actually as he was a lynchhng target yesterday. Assuming the other shaman believes him and protects him he'll be ok. I'm inclined to agree about Ryuu too. I'm guessing he didn't say anything on night one either so his team mate chose the kill and was then too scared to pick someone themselves last night after all the day one speculation. Is there only one vigilante though? There was only one vigilante kill so he could be one of then I guess.

Voting for Ryuu.

Well, someone killed the other vigilante (Tritoch) on the very first night. Also, I have repeatedly hinted at my role the previous day, and I only explicitly said it today

My accusation against Ryuu, of course, is purely circumstantial and is very flimsy. I've nothing else to go on, really, unless one of you seers would care to point accusing fingers.

By the way, weren't there direct accusations against Smelnick? :3

Amayirot Akago was acting rather weird day one. Something about him is hella suspicious.

I will continue my tirade against knkwzrd.

Who needs protection when you have a CAPE OF LIMITED INVULNERABILITY? I'll still take protection, though; one can never be too careful.

Not sure what to think about the Mafia. I'm not ready to jump on the Ryuu bandwagon just yet, but they're certainly an incompetent bunch this time around.

Well I'm ready to jump on the Ryuu train.

Yeah, Ryuu sounds reasonable.

Now that I've had more time to review the evidence, I have to agree that Ryuu is most likely Mafia. That said, wouldn't it do us more good to try to ferret out a Werewolf today, and leave Ryuu to the Vigilante tonight? If we start some accusations going and spark a debate, it'll give us more to go on tomorrow.

That is a good point, one which I hadn't considered seeing as how I woke up about five minutes ago. I'm still pretty foggy upstairs, so here's the plan: you start some debate, I sit here and watch. =D

Very well, then. I don't have much to go on, but if we're looking to stir up debate, I'd better pick someone who'll put up a good defense and arouse some passion in the thread. Therefore, I vote for a_lurker.

Reasoning (tenuous though it may be):

1. Lurker avoided joining a bandwagon yesterday, for fear of drawing attention to herself.

2. The werewolves tried to kill me last night, and I really didn't do much to stand out on Day 1. I have to assume at least one of the wolves must have played with me before, and have a reason to think I'd be better off dead. I was on a_lurker's team in the no-holds-barred game, and betrayed her. I don't think she was that upset about it, but it would be enough for her to throw my name out there if the wolves needed a target (I'm guessing they checked someone else first, and weren't happy with the results).

It's not much, but maybe this will spark something.

I'm confused, I need a vote, Ryuu it is.

My vote goes to Ryuu as well. No mafia action from night two and missing day one's vote may very well be only circumstantial like Zerg said, but it's enough for me.

nutty, werewolf grudges are only good for the next game. I don't care about you enough to stalk you several games down the line.

Also my new thing is that I'm going to try to avoid bandwagons based on nothing but dust. I want to see how accurate my votes are. I have no qualms voting off Ryuu since he didn't care enough to vote the previous day, but I wasn't cool with voting off Zerg or Smel because I think the reasoning was specious.

Can someone tell me anything about Ryuu? I know he's been playing for awhile, but is he a schmuck? Is he the kind of guy who would kill a newbie during the very first night? Of everyone else playing, the only person I think who would do that is Akago, still. But I'll change my vote if Ryuu's that kind of guy.

Um... what?

Yes, I missed the last lynch day voting, and yes that was my fault. I do apologize, though with the role I have, forgetting that Werewolf was going on is feasible. I realize my activity doesn't seem like much, but with University coming up, I've been busy making phone calls to financial aid, my future roommate, buying books and other things.

Hell, I didn't even update my cities for the SimCity region-thing.


In any case, I meant to vote Thursday of last week, but I ended up spending the day partying with friends before some of them headed off on long drives to campuses - and, of course, when I got home the deadline had past. I made no effort to post the fact that I missed the deadline since I already had the absentee vote against me and I figured what's done is done (but in retrospect, I probably should have pointed out that I was still alive and active). :/


In any case, I'm voting for Amayirot Akago for failing at jumping on a bandwagon. Being "confused" is no reason to vote against me - at the very least just say you agree with Zerg like some of the other people who already voted for me did.

Ryuu's been around awhile (in Werewolf), and he doesn't strike me as the type to knowingly kill a new player. That said, he is prone to absences due to real life obligations, and the other mafia guy could have sent in a kill without input from Ryuu.
