Pikachu, why did you decide to start talking now and not earlier? I hadn't even seen you lurking the thread past d1 until last night.

Pikachu is a thing? Whateva.

[TWG Mega Man]

Whoa whoa whoa. I don't like the idea of Pikachu at all after seeing how quick that caught fire.

For once, I agree with Pit. I got my reaction out of Ike just for keeping my vote on him for a few hours, but it's not like I need it, since he's confirmed red to me already.

But who isn't confirmed red and needs to get their jaws jabbering is Yoshi.

Megaman, as there are only two wolves remaining, if Pikachu is a wolf, there's only one wolf that would potentially defend him at all. Granted, a human could defend him too, but it's rather reasonable to suspect him. So I don't think that the time it takes for traction to develop for a lynch is a good inferential indicator for whether a player is a wolf at this point.

[TWG Mega Man]

...Yoshi.

Yoshi?

Oh, darn it! This thing is on the fritz again! Dr. Liiiiight!

[TWG Mega Man]

Okay, my reptile-blasting algorithms have been recalibrated!

Yoshi!!

Xiz said 1:4 wolf ratio. That's six wolves, and we killed three. I'm not a math scientist, but that's definitely more than two wolves remaining. Maybe even ten!

I completely disagree with all of this. No matter how few or many wolves there are, voting patterns are ALWAYS your best friend for figuring out who's who in TWG.

And "rather reasonable" to suspect Pikachu? I don't think so. Here's all the dirt on him I've got:

- He's been inactive and low-content. While this is suspect, it isn't a very good reason by itself, because otherwise we'd be jumping down Sonic's throat too.
- Bowser spoofed him green. I don't think this is necessarily evidence of Pikachu as a red either, when you take into account that Bowser also spoofed Ike green. I find it unlikely that Bowser would exclusively spoofread his partners, and Ike looks wayyyyyyyyyyyy slimier to me than Pikachu does.

That's all I've got for reasons to suspect Pikachu. If I missed something, please say so.

[TWG Link]

Having a 1:4 ratio in this game is impossible, as there are 24 players. Ike mentioned a long while ago that Xiz meant to say 1:3 ratio. That's 6 wolves and we've killed 3, so there are 3 remaining.
So there aren't 2 wolves left and I miscounted in my head, whoops!!!
I agree with your point about voting patterns, I'm just arguing that since there are so few wolves left, I don't think it's surprising if a lot of people are okay with a particular lynch, since wolves are less likely to steer us away.


I think Bowser having seered Pikachu green is definitely something to be taken into consideration for suspicion. It's not terribly unlikely for him to have chosen to take a risk in doing so. And although Pikachu's lack of contributions isn't necessarily cause for suspicion, it certainly doesn't help his case for humanity.

I think that those points are definitely reasonable for suspicion considering Pikachu's been so inactive. It would be better if we had more dirt on him, sure, but you can only find so much from someone be so uncontributive. What more can you expect when he's made like 3 actual posts in this 100 page topic?

Yeah.

It would be better if we had more dirt on who we lynch.

So why do you think it's a good lynch?

Most of the other players in this game heavily interacted with Bowser, and Fox, and you want to lynch Pikachu?

After watching how many sketchy players hopped on that wagon without a second thought?

Link, I think I'm taking you out of my "probably town" pile and putting you back into "null" for the time being.

[TWG Pit]

Oh so we have like half the wolves to go. waaaaaaaaaah

Also, I'm honestly a bit suspicious of Pikachu because the first post he writes after his long absence on the thread was going after an easy target.

I dunno man, that's just a bit like not good for you, especially if Ike comes up as town.

Though IMO this also looks like there should be at most one wolf in that pair.

[TWG Mega Man]

The fact that the Pikachu train started running faster and not slower after he made another post says to me that the wolves are afraid of him looking human and desperate to get their kill on him while it's still easy.

He even voted for the right guy. Wolves are sweating.

[TWG Mega Man]

Hey wolves, are you Pit/Zelda/Ike?

No, that's not quite it.

But it's close, isn't it?

[TWG Pit]

Ok you know what I'm inclined to trust you mega man because you were right before and I'm easily pocketed

But take me out of your list damnit
