TWG VIII (The Matrix Has You) Day 4

[alainbryden]

Thanks kilga, I was waiting for that. As long as a few of you are still thinking I'm a wolf trying some strange strategy, as long as there's a chance that people are suspicious enough to lynch me, I won't get wolfed. Why waste a wolfing on someone who's under public suspicion.

Why would you go out and tell everyone your strategy?

That kind of says to me... "Don't worry if I don't get wolfed, it's because they think the humans will lynch me"

Dunno, kinda saw that weridly.

[blahblah18]

I gotta agree, thats kinda weird you would post something like that in the thread, be you human or wolf... But it almost sounds you're trying to justify reasons why you won't die at night other then being a wolf. It's just an odd comment to make to the thread and I hope you either write or tell me what the point is of saying something like that.

[lightdarkness]

I mean, I don't know if he acted this way last game, because I was pretty much only talking to the masons and Tass, but please do explain, as blah has said, your reasoning for that comment.

[alainbryden]

Point is simply, hopefully wolves think I'm acting suspicious enough that they wouldn't waste a wolfing on me, because I have the potential to get lynched. Same time hoping that enough humans are bright enough to know that there are better candidates for lynching.

It doesn't matter if I state my strategy, because doing so is in and of itslef suspicious enough to keep people thinking that I'm a wolf, whist assuring the brighter or more trustworthy players that there is method to my madness.

[blahblah18]

so you're saying only stupid or untrustworthy players would vote for you?

you seem to be talking about not getting wolfed an awful lot...I wouldn't think that a human's worse fear would be getting wolfed, but then again, maybe you like to insure that you stay alive, at the expense of everyone else's suspicion of you, which draw away from the real wolves.

[lightdarkness]

I'm kinda worried here.

Senario A: Alain is a wolf, trying to make people think it's ok he isn't getting wolfed.

Senario B: Alain is a huamn, and he is just digging himself into a whole, because now he probably WON'T get wolfed.

I'm tempted to change my vote to him, but I won't for a fear of him telling the truth.

[Tps222]

Alain has a good point, but for now i am still stying with my nforcer untill he say something, he may be at school.

[alainbryden]

you're right ld, I'm doing this insuring that I don't get wolfed, because some people will be suspicious of me. You're too lupin, worst fear is getting wolfed, and by having you all suspicious of me, a wolf would be stupid to get rid of me when I'm at suck high risk of misleading humans. Hint, don't be mislead. The best part about this strategy is that by saying it, It doesn't render it obsolete.

[blahblah18]

now yet again he's saying "ok guys if anyone votes for me lets bandwagon him cuz he must be a wolf!" how ridiculous...

I remember Alain trying to use this same exact strategy in TWG VI (an attempt to establish this strategy was the main purpose of the disasterous chat that I referred to in that game). Turned out he was a human in that game. His plan may have even worked too, had we all not lynched him the day he suggested it >_>

However, even if the strategy is the same this game, I find it odd that he is throwing it out right now. In game VI he had publically announced the fact that he was guardian, and the strategy was a direct attempt to keep the wolves from killing him. This game, however, he hasn't really done anything except for his little scuffle with LD early on. Trying to use this strategy once more strikes me as just a bit prematurely defensive. I don't think that being defensive like this is nearly enough to label someone as a wolf, but I do think that it is a likely indicator that Alian has a special role.

[alainbryden]

in my last strategy I thought I could guard myself :P that was my first game.

[evilbutterfly]

Chardish, I always do that. I ramble on about what I can see, hoping may be I'll say something that gives smarter players ideas on who a wolf may be. I pick up on things sometimes, but I'm not quite intuitive enough to put together the pieces and figure people out. It always gets me a vote on Day 1, too (if I remember correctly).

And I didn't (had to stop writing here this morning because I might have missed the bus otherwise, but I shall continue without reading others' posts first) mean to say that his friends killed him, but that knowing what connections he had may help us figure out some things. We know that roopert doesn't talk a whole lot, but may be he talks a lot (over AIM) to vocal players? I can't remember my train of thought from this morning, but I had perfect reasons and I've forgotten them through the course of schooling and such. If I remember later I will post.

In the end, I mostly just want to have as much info about who died as possible. In the post-game we'll probably see that he was just "the least likely to be guardianed" as that seems to be the new trend, but you never know. May be the wolves put more thought into it this time?

[nforcer06164]

Sorry, I would've posted last night, but I didn't have time last night. Had a lot to do before having to go to school today... but that's not important.

To me it seems that alain is trying to take the issue of being comfortable with being vocal when human and reversing it on other people. I have the feeling that he's using it as a strategy to keep himself from getting lynched, although he's pushing the topic a little too much. Lupin's logic makes me even more suspicious of alain.

I'm also a little suspicious of Kefit. I don't have enough to go on him yet, but why would his first post be just to defend alain's "strategy"? He notes how the early defensive is suspicious, yet denies believing he may be a wolf. That strikes me as being somewhat odd....

evilbutterfly seems pretty genuine to me, but that's just what I think....

Maybe my vote will change if I see something else in the next few hours.

[M-A-C]

Hey guys, school was rough. I'm just going to say alainbryden for now. He seems very suspicious.

[evilbutterfly]

Quit bandwagoning, guys. Not that alain seems completely human, but we shouldn't jump on him and instalynch. Instalynches are BAD FOR HUMANS!! More time to figure people out come if you don't bandwagon, so either switch your votes to someone else or just stop bandwagoning, seriously.

[alainbryden]

I know MAC is new, but even then, no wolf would bandwagon so blatantly. It's such bad advertisement. He's also not experienced enough to try to pull of being a wolf and trying to fake human by being so noobish. So mac, as far as I'm concerned, is human. I'm more suspicious of nforcer for trying to reason it out.

[nforcer06164]

Well, my plan really was to not vote early, but alain's posts are making me really uneasy. He may be redoubling his strategy, but it doesn't seem right to me. What really got me was his post on the third page (the last one there). It seems like he's trying to direct attention to other people, like, "Look for these guys!"

Like I said, if I see something else that shocks me as seriously odd, I might change my vote. But otherwise, I'm sticking with alain.
