[TRM]

TwoBitWriter for his position on the EDK bandwagon and his gleeful accosting of Selrahc.

[Talic]

Talic continues mixing various types of goo together...

"Gotta get it just right. Alien acidic spittle has to have just the right look, just the right consistency. Ah! There we go!"

*Flings a bit at the wall with a spoon*

*Watches as it eats through the wall... and the spoon*

"Great! Now that I know what the real thing looks like, I can start working on the corn-syrup-based version. Ooooooohhh-wheee! This is gonna be a killer recipe!"

[banjo1985]

Zoinks!

Don't bandwagon me just because I'm neutral!

I'm voting for Hap Hazard

[Vampiric]

hooray for random points!

Talic

[Mustiado]

Dip Pritchet's voice echoes from his trailer...

"If Talic doesn't have my sausage biscuit here for me, I swear..."

[SweetLikeLemons]

"Oh, Mr. TwoBitWriter, are you helping with the script? I could really use some help learning my lines, if you want to help me. I would sure appreciate it. Gosh, I wonder if the director would mind if I took off this costume yet, it is awfully uncomfortable. What do you think?

[Talic]

People are still random pointing at day 3?

Hm. Guess I'm the only one spreadsheeting this.

[Hyozo]

People are still random pointing at day 3?

Hm. Guess I'm the only one spreadsheeting this.

No, so am I, I just haven't noticed anything attention grabbing yet.

[Helgraf]

Tish the easssht and SweetLikeLemons ish the shun!

Shall we dansh, beautiful lash, before the lightsh lasht raysh fall beneath the sssshroud of Plutarch?

[TRM]

People are still random pointing at day 3?

Hm. Guess I'm the only one spreadsheeting this.

And with a very interesting Day 2 to boot. But just because there isn't analysis being posted, doesn't mean it isn't happening—some people (*cough*Shadow*cough*) don't always post their suspicions immediately.

[Talic]

No, so am I, I just haven't noticed anything attention grabbing yet.

Well, let's analyze.

Day 1. A wolf was lynched. Anyone who didn't vote for the wolf automatically has some suspicion, if not that much.

Day 2. A Villager was lynched. The vote was 8. A counter vote occurred, with the 2nd place getting up to 6...

Wouldn't the tie-breaker vote (vote 7) be key in getting a villager lynched?

And when you look at the last day, and find that, while he was all for bandwagoning on day 2, against a villager, he didn't really feel like bandwagoning a wolf on day 1?

That's Philistine. And that's why my vote's on him.

[TwoBitWriter]

"Oh, Mr. TwoBitWriter, are you helping with the script? I could really use some help learning my lines, if you want to help me. I would sure appreciate it. Gosh, I wonder if the director would mind if I took off this costume yet, it is awfully uncomfortable. What do you think?

"Uhh... sure thing... I guess I can stick around for another day. This place is always my last delivery..."

*thinks a moment*

"If you aren't shooting for a while, maybe you can take the costume off. I'm willing to help unwrap you."

[Dallas-Dakota]

I declare my dodge bonus on.. .Ummm, you! Zaragon!

Speaking to MF he says :
Wow, the director noticed you! And you get to play a protocol druid, even though your voc-vocabulator isn't working right...Is that hard to act? Like you vocabulator isn't working right? Wait, what is a vocabulator.....

[Shishnarfne]

"Well, gee, I guess I don't really have too many ideas about who might be causing trouble, but I suppose that TwoBitWriter might be just a touch suspicious..."

[UncleWolf]

*Sees Twobitwriter*
"Oi,you! Aren't you supposed to be deliverin sometin?"
*smacks him over the head*
"Urry up boy, we need the paint.
And leave the actors alone, they need to practice their lines.
Specially, that Fullbladder"

[Murska]

I point at Jontom Xire. I think I'm still alive, right?

[Zar Peter]

Well, let's analyze.

Day 1. A wolf was lynched. Anyone who didn't vote for the wolf automatically has some suspicion, if not that much.

Day 2. A Villager was lynched. The vote was 8. A counter vote occurred, with the 2nd place getting up to 6...

Wouldn't the tie-breaker vote (vote 7) be key in getting a villager lynched?

And when you look at the last day, and find that, while he was all for bandwagoning on day 2, against a villager, he didn't really feel like bandwagoning a wolf on day 1?

That's Philistine. And that's why my vote's on him.

Day 1: A perfect day for a wolf to hide his wolfiness and point at a fellow wolf.

Day 2: A villager was lynched? How that, there are so few of them in the game...

Sorry for the sarcasm but... well, it's day 3, you can't really get much out of the votes...

On the other hand, if I take my babbeling serious... I point at Uncle Festy!
Because he pointed at Androgial at day 1.

[TwoBitWriter]

TwoBitWriter for his position on the EDK bandwagon and his gleeful accosting of Selrahc.

And I would have you know I voted for him looooong before a bandwagon was formed.

[Mordokai]

"What?! Me, a bard?! You take that back or I'll..."

He doesn't get to finish the line before he stars pulling his sleeves up and advancing upon the director, before being pulled away by the security.

"I'll never be a bard! Never, you hear me! Lousy good for nothing bards..."

And with that, he dissapears, thrown out the door. Outside, rumbling and grumbling can be heard for some time, and soon after, even that quits down.

((We have a three way tie at the moment, if my spreadsheet is correct. Banjo, TBW and Festy all have three votes Of all of them, I find Festy the most suspicios, if for nothing else, than because he failed to strike his point through on day one. He pointed at Dragoon firstly and then at androgial, when it was pretty much already a forgone conclusion that androgial is getting lynched. That itself would be suspicious enough, but he didn't even crossed his first point out, which to me stinks even more.

Think what you will of it, I give you my two cents here.))

[Mountain_Faerie]

Faerie steps out on the stage. She proceeds to cast Faerie Fire! As she mumbles the spell under her breath, TwoBitWriter is surrounded by a blurry, concealing haze...which transforms into an even blurrier fume...which evolves into a shaky part of the stage, developing into a rather large hole.

She looks at her Druid Handbook and shakes her head, the straightens up as if she meant to make the hole.

A quick casting of Cat's Grace should cover this up.

As Faerie walks Stage Left, she falls flat on her face.

((What's a Protocol Druid anyway???)

[PirateMonk]

Alarra also at random.

[Philistine]

Well, let's analyze.

Day 1. A wolf was lynched. Anyone who didn't vote for the wolf automatically has some suspicion, if not that much.

Day 2. A Villager was lynched. The vote was 8. A counter vote occurred, with the 2nd place getting up to 6...

That's Philistine. And that's why my vote's on him.

If I may be allowed to speak in my own defense, you're jumping to an unjustified conclusion.

No, I did not point at Androgial, who did turn out to be a Creature, on Day 1. Please read through the last 5 or 6 posts of the Casting Call thread for this game. Note that Shadow originally pointed to me as well, but changed that when it started an accidental bandwagon. (Which, I gotta say, was darn cool of him.) No, I didn't then change my own post to point to Androgial. But remember... still Day 1. Bad Guys might not want to point to a fellow wolf, but Good Guys wouldn't know to do so. And of course, once it became clear that Androgial was going down, a wolf might've piled on in order to get some protective coloration.

And yes, on Day 2 I did point to EDK, who did turn out to be an Extra. And it's also true that I was one of the last to jump onto that particular bandwagon. But consider this: at the time I posted, there was no counter-bandwagon. PirateMonk did eventually rack up 6 votes, but at the time I posted he had received only one. So there was no way I could have known, and no reason for me to suspect, that my vote would be decisive. Also, still just Day 2 - so, still not a lot of reliable information for the Good Guys.

Of course, I have an advantage because I know I'm not a wolf. But even so, I have to wonder why you picked me out of the crowd rather than, say, Uncle Festy, who only pointed to Androgial after his fate was already sealed, and who was also on the EDK bandwagon; or Allysian, the only person to jump on the EDK bandwagon after the formation of the PM counter-bandwagon made it look like he might not be lynched after all, and who also didn't point to Androgial on Day 1. There's also Deathslayer 7, Helgraf, Lex-kat, PirateMonk, and Shishnarfne who both 1) didn't point to Androgial and 2) did point at EDK. Hmm?

Wait. What? Druid? Did I say that? You must have misheard me, my dear lady. Protocol droid, you know, like this.

Um, sir... you did say "druid." It's even in your notes that way.

The director frowns at Matthew, waving his hands wildly. His espresso, the eighth of the day, sloshes all over his hand. He suspiciously sniffs the liquid.

Ah, of course, this is Irish coffee. He looks at Shadow. I won't be needing a refill until much later, my dear boy. But thank you for the thought.

He grins and looks back at Mountain_Faerie. Take it from the top, but protocol droid this time. And don't forget the what I said about your vocabulator...

You're wel-- *hic* Welcome. And tank you. Now go an' fetsh me anudder, will ya?

Aaaaaaaaand AKSHIN!

[Mountain_Faerie]

Faerie stands up and stiffly brushes the dust off her brassy legs.

Oh, sir, I mush have misunderstrapolated. You said druid, not druid.

She totters forward on the stage. Boldly, she states:

I question how the bard sings, so miscellaneously as he flies across the eggnog in the arms of the guards. So gallant is his jello. So forthright his onomatopoeia...

(chirp, chirp, chirp)

Even louder:

The bard hath eaten the desk of hope and doth send forth an ambulance of life into this place...

(chirp, chirp, chirp)

Faerie pulls out her blaster and shoots the grasshoppers.

Stupid meatbags!

[Hyozo]

I 'm changing my point. I think I'll point at Uncle Festy as well.

Drake Burr looks at Mordokai, rather confused. "You're an actor! You're practically a bard in real life. It shouldn't be any problem for you at all, but if it is, update the tempt Mordokai thread you'll still be better at it than radiobrain from yesterday"

[Reinholdt]

((Well I want to give TBW a chance to enjoy WW a little longer than 2 days, so I'll go with Uncle Festy.))

The Farce will be with you, always.

[Aemoh]

*counts the votes*

Seems to me Uncle Festy's got 7 votes, followed by TwoBitWriter with 4 votes, and Alarra, Talic, and Banjo each have three.

As it's my nature to even up wagons...

*points at TwoBitWriter*

[Uncle Festy]

((Freaking bandwagon, ruining all my fun…
So this is sizing up to be a bandwagon. Therefore, I will attempt to defend myself.
The main claim against me is that I posted a non-decisive point on the Androgial bandwagon. Here's the thing – I've been playing these games for a while. I know enough of the obviously suspicious things that people notice to avoid them. Do you really think that, if I were a wolf, I'd be stupid enough to point on that bandwagon?
I'm not really paying much attention to this game – I don't really have time. I don't have a spreadsheet, I'm not counting votes (and before people start accusing me of self-contradiction, I would be counting votes if I was a wolf and one of my fellows was in the path of the lynchwagon). I saw what was a pretty close bandwagons, and jumped on the one where the target had admitted to being a wolf. Remember that part?
So, yeah. I'm not a wolf, and I don't really like the bandwagon forming against me.
That is all.))

[Uncle Festy]

((Sorry to double post, but I forgot this part.
TBW to save my skin.))
