    Is there many people left who the guardian hasn't protected?

    Judging by some of your comments in here it seems I should have been more suspicious of Opti. Thinking about it now, I actually think there's a decent chance! I must admit I was completely blind to the idea whilst in the game, and if he is indeed the wolf he's rung me in hook, line and sinker! I'm now thinking in terms of likeliness 1. merchandiseman, 2. Opti, 3. WT 4. Steve and a long way further at 5. Nairobi. Hopefully the villagers continue to realise that what I said at the end of yesterday was only my opinion, bar the stuff based off the messages. I made it clear everyday which message I sent so now they have as much knowledge as I've ever had.

    I wonder if I should've played my seer role more under the radar, that way I could've been alive still. But when I started reading on day 7 people believing WAS was evil over Squibba, I couldn't help myself but go gung ho in and try and swing opinion- and I was so close to doing so! (I still believe Abso didn't read the thread at all and just went with the person with most votes at the time he saw the poll i.e. WAS). After pushing my message so forcefully on day 7 I always knew I was a goner, the plan was for 1. the guardian to save me that night- which he did and 2. I planned on viewing the last wolf yesterday, which obviously didn't happen and was always going to be unlikely :doh:

    Thanks for running the game 352! I had fun and I'm still going to enjoy following the game in here (unless merchandiseman is the wolf in which case its game over!). Meh's poems were also great. The inactive players problem is a tricky one to solve really, perhaps Abso could've been kicked off a day or 2 earlier but really I didn't find it got in the way of the game too much.

    The wolf would be stupid to go for anyone other than nornironhorn or sonofben. Both of them have already been protected by the guardian so the guardian can do nothing about the wolf's next 2 kills. If the wolf makes it to a third night then by that point the guardian has a decent chance of being lynched by then anyway. Killing anyone else would also narrow down the number of wolf suspects which would frankly be suicide.

    If my maths is correct if merchandiseman isn't the wolf they will have 2 more opportunities to lynch a player (presuming the guardian doesn't manage to save anyone else and no more players are killed off for being inactive). Seeing as there's only really 3 players after that who could be evil (Opti, WT and Steve) I'd say it's still pretty good odds for a good victory, but by no means a certainty.

    Out of interest, who was the first seer? Everyone kept assuming it was miked2006 but I still think it was Ashdon.

    Good would be incredibly unlucky/silly to lose now. Four to choose from and enough nights left to pick him out.

    What's happened to the live game, there's more life here in the Graveyard!!!

    The Tavern is closed and the day 9 thread is still open, any ideas why?

    Maybe they lynched the final wolf and 352 is making very good final write up.

    Will have to start writing my haunting ditty now. Will fill in the blanks when we find out!

    I'll just leave this here...

    [The Tavern was closed. It was a lock in. Everyone was at home watching the China v Netherlands Women's World Cup match when the commentator started to gurgle and babble during a rare China attack]

    Another verse another rhyme,
    Another line of prose,
    To feed the dwindling masses,
    As the speculation grows.

    Last eve’s demise the latest kill,
    The latest soul run through,
    Poor WFCMatt’s time was up,
    Of that most people knew.

    A ring of fire, a circle lit,
    It burned, it burned, it burned!
    Matt went down the flames went higher,
    The scent of death returned.

    Crawling, coughing, the poor weak lad,
    Fell down to where Wolf stood,
    Stamp to the head, the sauce was red,
    This kill was VERY GOOD.

    Just 7 left as day 9 started,
    2 Masons we knew,
    5 remained of which to lynch,
    Which 1 was set to go?

    Supplier to the village folk,
    For food and goods we went,
    A sign above the door now reads,
    Under new management!

    So Merchandiseman's fate was sealed,
    The lynching horde he'd face,
    No one knew the cause of death,
    Columbo's on the case!

    Another GOOD killed by his own,
    Another crimson tide,
    Another night for beast to strike,
    For you no place to hide!

    [The gurgling stopped, the commentator continued to narrate the game as if nothing had actually happened, which coincidentally summed up the game pretty well]

    Told you I was good.

    Just didn't realise how much time I would need to dedicate to the game hence the inactivity and early voting.

    Sorry I couldn't add more to the discussions my fellow Hornets

    Who's your #1 suspect?
     
  14. Cude>2<

    WT for me.

    I think the wolf may have got the whole village last night...!

    I have a feeling about Steve Harrow and Nairobi... Steve as I think he is very persuasive and Nairobi as everyone thinks he is so good it can't be true

    I think Nairobi is good, as is sonofben. WatfordTalk I'm pretty much certain is good. That leaves Steve Harrow and Optimistic, I can't understand why Optimistic has never been suspected particularly as we has laid low for the entire game.

    My probabilities are:

    Optimistic 50% - far too quiet, has always gone with the crowd
    Steve Harrow 40% - been very defensive, plus strabge voting for himself once early on.
    WatfordTalk 5% - mentioned as good
    Nairobi 5% - described as good by the seer I thought???
    sonofben 0% - mason

    I really can't see past Opti. I made my mind up yesterday and in true TVOR style, I'm not changing it.

    Where was WT mentioned as good? Must have missed that?

    I tried googling the epidemic of equine diseases that have obviously affected the entire horse population of south west Herts, but alas I came up with nothing. On this basis I am going for Opti.

    Glad to see many of you are coming round to my long time #1 suspect Opti.

    As for you cude, you're are still batting for Evil >:D

    Awfully quiet today, think I made the right choice taking one for the team though

    Let's be honest here VoR - Next game, even if I'm the Witness or Seer - I'll be battling for Evil. It's in my blood - I've been on the Darkside to many times!

    Oh and let's not forget :-

    :dino: = Grand National Winner 2016!

    I always suspected Steve Harrow. Never had any doubt whatsoever. None of you fools listened to me.



    Unless it's Opti. Who I also think it is.



    And maybe WT.



    I think it was me at one point as well.

    Good should win this now if they're wise about it.

    Here's my thoughts:

    Nairobi - Looks like he was cleared by the Seer.
    SonofBen - Mason - declared yesterday.
    Opti - Horse whisperer - We have no idea.
    Steve Harrow - Fraudster who doesn't actually live in Harrow - We have no idea
    WT - Seems people think he's good - may have missed this?

    Now, we know the Guardian is alive, and 2 people haven't been protected in Nairobi and WT (I think?) - One of them will be the guardian. If it's allowed why not come forward now? Guardian is pretty much redundant now.

    This could potentially leave 2 people, if not 3. If WT is the Guardian, then it's between the Fraudster and the Dinosaur - sorry Horse Whisperer. If Nairobi is the Guardian then WT could be in the mix still as well, but the wolf will have to much to do.

    Sonofben will die tonight - if the Guardian doesn't out himself, then hopefully he is wise and hold his protection back (if it's allowed). Ideally - the villagers will leave the 2 players who haven't been protected yet and lynch one who has, and the wolf will eventually be left with a decision of which 1 of the 2 unprotected to go for - assuming he isn't one of them!

    I notice you commented this a few times on the game day threads, that good were playing an awful game.

    What would you have done differently? Ignoring hindsight?

    50/50 choice really.

    I reckon it could be Opti. Watford Talk is the Guardian.

    By the time I was killed I was getting a bit suspicious of Steve Harrow and I would have stuck to that. I thought a couple of his posts yesterday were a bit sus. But it keeps niggling me that it has been mighty convenient for Opti that he had to lay so low until the last couple of days when he's suddenly become one of the more active players.

    Steves played very safe and didn't really raise any suspicion other than the fact he is very experienced.

    lols I am on the good team and had TVOR and WAS pegged as evil. It's a criticism of me only!

    Fair enough, don't think anyone has played particularly well but its a lot harder for a good player to play well than a wolf!
