Re: Trump's Cabinet selection
Keep in mind that my scans do not include Putin nor do the wolves all know each other.

Re: Trump's Cabinet selection
I agree.. reasonable but wrong. The working assumption (a wolf would be willing to finish him off if there were no wolves on the train) was, apparently, wrong.El Guapo wrote: Then there's this. Reasonable analysis as I and others have said. Although at this point Newcastle is dead and the other two listed are claimed specials. So, either PLW was mistaken or one of [PLW, Remus, Scoop] is a wolf.
Though thinking about this some more, it's not obvious that a wolf would want to push Newcastle over the top at this point - Scooping someone before they state their role would be likely to draw unwanted attention to the wolf at issue.
Note... all of the analysis I've done and I've seen presumes that the claims are legit. They could just be lucky that the actual specials were already dead.

Going to finish my re-read sometime today. I have a great strategy, by the way, but I can't say what it is, because that would be giving it away to our enemies.

Re: Trump's Cabinet selection
Yeah, I'm probably going to presume when I vote that the claims are legit. The troublesome part is that both claims have plausible reasons why the wolves would spoof - Scoop was at n-1, and could have spoofed figuring that either he outs Anderson or he gets out of the lynch. Remus came out at the start of today, and a planned spoof at the start of day 3 is a reasonable wolf strategy that Remus likes to use - exposes Jill if he's countered, and by coming out first it makes it more likely that the real Jill gets lynched if she counters.PLW wrote:I agree.. reasonable but wrong.

Also even assuming they're legit, Remus's scans don't really remove his targets as possible lynch choices given the need to find Putin. Though it makes them less attractive.

Re: Trump's Cabinet selection
My current issue is that if Scoop and Remus are both telling the truth, you and grund are the main badguys, and putin has to fall within the PLW, lassr, and dead people.
I can see Remus spoofing this as Putin, which really means any of the four of you are the 2 badguys. Pulling this on the day where it means the game is a valid move for a wolf.
So far no word from Alexander...

I keep waiting, hoping he would appear. I fear now he is no longer with us. I lean toward believing Remus, just because we don't have much of a choice at this point.Chaosraven wrote: So far no word from Alexander...
Remember mara jade! And the last game, or time before, this came back to bite us but just like then we can play the odds and go with what is in front of us or throw it out the window and lynch anyone still alive and see what happens.
I tend to want to lose because of bad luck or the perfect storm than do something stupid and lose...
of course I'd rather win and the odds say to believe Remus and Scoop.

Re: Trump's Cabinet selection
Maybe Alexander is alive and figures that it would be foolish to step forward. Putin would certainly choose him tonight, one way or the other, if Putin is alive.
If found, Alexander will die from polonium-210 exposure. If Putin selects Alexander as Trump's replacement then team Good immediately wins.

Re: Trump's Cabinet selection
So if we hit Conway today it will be 4-2. Putin target Alexander (if revealed) and Trump target random and hits. 2-2 we lose. But if Alexander not revealed then Putin is selecting in the dark and may miss.Grundbegriff wrote:Maybe Alexander is alive and figures that it would be foolish to step forward.

If we hit Trump today, Putin replaces Trump, but not with Alexander (if revealed) and Conway cannot kill and back to 3-3 and we lose. But if Alexander not revealed good guys could win if Putin selects wrong.
If we hit Putin today, then Trump just kills tonight. 3-2 tomorrow.
Eh, advantages and disadvantages with Alexander reveal. We really need to hit Putin and Alexander can help but a miss and game over.

Re: Trump's Cabinet selection
maybe I can just sell my vote to highest bidder.
I think I agree that Alexander sit tight and take our chances hitting Trump and hope Putin chooses wrong or hit Conway and Putin misses the scan.
Hitting Putin may be out of the equation unless he is in that top 3 with the other two. We know now we most likely (playing the odds) have 2 bad guys in a group of 3 to choose from.

Re: Trump's Cabinet selection
I see. Missed that, or rather didn't see the connection.
You mean that if Alexander steps forward, the number of people who could possibly be Putin is smaller and maybe we can deduce who it is.
I guess the problem there is that if both are alive and Alex steps forward, Putin (if feeling threatened by the math) could also claim to be Alex. Then we'd end up in one of those 50/50 things.

Figure only 3 of the 5 list are potentially alex.
And who would he have scanned?
If it fell as PLW/Lassr/Myself and we had scanned one of the others, it'd be a lock.

Re: Trump's Cabinet selection
Am I the only one concerned that Scoop lived through the night? Cooper can only protect each player once.
In case Scoop is real he should not reveal his protections (due to the limit of once per person) but I found myself thinking that if I were a bad guy I would have targeted Scoop last night. So, why did Archinerd get chosen instead if Scoop is being honest?
That being the case, would you or wouldn't you protect yourself first night to avoid being killed before anything happens? Would you or wouldn't you, as Scoop, protect yourself? If you were the bad guys would you or wouldn't you think to try and remove him rather than risk targeting a protected target?The protection can include himself, but never the same person twice.

Re: Trump's Cabinet selection
Suppose for the sake of argument that Remus is lying (and therefore a wolf). Makes sense that he would make one of the picks a dead person.

None of the above are Trump or Conway. That's all I have for you right now. Sadly, the Archinerd part is obvious now.

Re: Trump's Cabinet selection
I'm not following this. Why would Grund agreeing with your vote lead you to conclude both that Grund *and* Chaosraven are bad? With evil seemingly on the verge of victory, wolves would be happy to push any lynch of a villager, right? So if Grund is bad, wouldn't that suggest that Chaosraven is good? Or potentially Putin, since Trumpbegriff would think that ChaosPutin is probably good?Lassr wrote:So I have been thinking about this.

Grund agreeing with my Chaosraven vote makes me think Grund is indeed one of the bad guys, maybe Chaos is Trump. Is it mentioned anywhere that Putin knows which players are Trump and Conway?

By that claim, Trump and Conway are among the Top Three.
Putin (if Alive) is among the Top Five.
I understand that others will have to assess me (as usual); but (given the odds that Scoop and Remus are playing it straight) for me, it's a matter of figuring out which of these two is Trump and which Conway. Chaosraven has been talking a blue streak, and El Guapo has been eerily silent. I don't see "being in character" as relevant here since TrumpRL and ConwayRL are both bloviators. But if Trump is the selector and Conway is just fluff, which one would they put forward and which would hang back? And would they take our calculation of that sort of thing into account and whip out the iocane?
This doesn't strike me as rationally decidable. My intuition tilts toward El Guapo as hidden Trump and Chaosraven as the mouthpiece, which is pretty much where I started the day.
Night kills: RMC, bb2112, Archinerd* (COULD BE PUTIN ON THE RITZ)
Alive: Chaosraven, El Guapo, Grundbegriff, Lassr*, PLW*, __Remus, __sCoop
For what it's worth Putin *could* be dead, but he's probably still alive. We know that we've lynched three villagers. Trump and Conway know that they're not Putin (though Trump may be a little confused about this). So Trump's three kills are out of a pool of eight people who could be Poutine. Obviously they're going to shy away from people that they think might be Putin, so they might move the needle slightly in their favor, but in any event they *probably* haven't killed Putin, though the risk of hitting him is significant.
Also I think impacts who they would pick to take a more aggressive role. On the one hand you could have Trump be more aggressive / risk-taking figuring that if he gets offed then he can be replaced. But on the other hand without knowing whether you've killed Putin you risk game over if the villagers hit Trump and you've accidentally killed Putin. So on balance I would think that they would pick Conway as the lead / aggressive wolf.

Re: Trump's Cabinet selection
Yeah I do think that he would probably stay quiet. The only thing is if he scanned both PLW and Lassr, *that* would be pretty useful information, as then we would have a complete scan of two players.

Short of that, it's hard to see how Alexander coming forward is worth giving up him as a landmine, if nothing else. Like, suppose Putin is still alive - we're at 4 good 3 evil. If we lynch Trump, we're at 4 good, 2 evil. Putin selects Trump's replacement, which would result in a Team Evil win (3 good 3 evil), EXCEPT that if Alexander is still alive that's a 25% chance of a Team Good win. So that's pretty significant.

Re: Trump's Cabinet selection
Well, they wouldn't *know* that, since Putin could be dead (in which case we're at 5-2, and so not a must hit today). They may be operating under that assumption, though.Lassr wrote:So it doesn't surprise me that you two lived. They knew a hit last night got us down to a must hit today so why risk it.
In any event, you figure Scoop's protections (if he's telling the truth), are:
Night 1 - Scoop
Night 2 - El Guapo, because he is so handsome and funny that it would be too big a risk losing him from the game.
Night 3 - Scoop.
So, it makes all the sense in the world that the wolves would avoid targeting Scoop last night, since that's the most probable way to hit protection.

All the back and forth between them on page 4 that resulted in bb putting Newcastle at N-1. bb seemed to quite convinced that Newcastle was bad and could likely lead a charge against him in the future.
