Excalibur 2.0: Day Eight

Recommended Posts

As Holloway explained, this was a small sting operation to help us reinforce our suspicions. After seeing Harper's reaction, I think it's safe to:

Unvote: Lieutenant Harper (Dragonator)

Vote: Lieutenant Williams (Swils)

I think everyone's sting-ed out for the game. :laugh:

Williams, you have to understand that the accusation is being placed on you not because we caught you as scum, it is that you are the only one who has not been "caught" as town. Process of elimination, old chap, and you are one of the final if not the most simplist variables that needs testing.

Don't worry, I understand that quite well. It was the basis, if not entirety, of your reasoning for going after me a few days ago as well. I just think it's utterly laughable. As I've mentioned before, I'm not privy to what's going on in all your private talks, so if something else got you further cleared (beyond an investigation result), then the only things differentiating you and I are the facts that you've been investigated, and that you've been a part of the talks. Well, that and the fact that you (if you are, hypothetically, scum) bussed the hell out of Vanderbilt yesterday, but that could have just been a high risk, high reward gamble (obviously wasn't the killer, and it would all but solidify you as a townie).

Long story short, no one's taken my opinion seriously all game anyway, so I doubt I can say anything to change your minds at this point, either.

Oh, really? Gosh, no one would have ever guessed.

It may have been laughable a few days ago, but it's not anymore. Of the 6 of us, 3 have been investigated as town. Of the 3 that haven't, it's you, me, and our investigator Jones. These results have been made clear in public, so it shouldn't be a surprise.

Despite my track record of non-success, I don't think anyone thinks that I'm not town at this point. I should be tonight's investigation target to be sure, but I'll probably be killed by the scum anyway if it's not you.

Our investigator would be a reasonable choice, but there are reasons to believe that he's not.

Both Harper and Wheeler have town investigation results on them, as does Holloway (who's also got yesterday's vote against Francis on his record).

Do I think it's possible that one of the others isn't scum? Yes, but we really ought to test you with today's lynch because we can't guarantee another night result from Jones.

If you have a case against one of the others, this is your last chance to have it heard and you've had plenty of time to formulate one by now.

Vote: Allison Williams (Swils)

D'oh, just got back in touch with you. Gave you my suspicions (well, thoughts) which, as I mentioned there, I've mostly touched on in public already. Saying that Harper, Wheeler, and Holloway all have town results, and I don't, still seems like a really weak case to me. It's like luck of the draw. If I'd been investigated, one of them would be in my shoes right now. Heck, I'd ask you to investigate me tonight, but then I'd have people breathing down my neck about "You want an investigation? You must be the godfather! Bring us his head!" To which I'd say, "Well, okay, sure I could, but so could they, right?" They're just cleared of suspicion and thus don't have to ask for the investigation result because they already have been.

Also, bugger, I previously said Vanderbilt, and meant Francis. Whoops.

Yes but we've gone through the case that could be made against Wheeler and Harper and there isn't anything that makes us suspect them of being scum, actually the opposite has ocurred in addition to the investigation results there have been private PM's from Harper requesting that Vanderbilt be vig-killed before it actually happened during the day (not to mention I was the one who pulled the trigger on Vanderbilt as someone had misplaced their weapon), in addition to two scum ganging up on Wheeler to try and lynch him, as well as my post analysis that has the late Gordon and Rockford bussing or interacting with both Wheeler and Harper long before they were discovered as scum.

Apologies to those I PM'd. I'm a bit jet-lagged from the travel simulator. Anyway... since we are essentially at a standstill for lynching Williams... I propose that people look forward a day. Let's say that Williams turns out town and by some act of Bob, no one is killed tonight. Who should we lynch tomorrow?

Harper and Wheeler both have town results on them. It could very well be that either of them is scum and the godfather. I'm inclined to believe that Holloway is town because of his bus of Francis yesterday. Wheeler was investigated very late, so even if Wheeler didn't start out as a godfather, Wheeler could have inherited the investigative immunity by last night.

Oh, so you do have actual reasons! Well that's a relief. I know that you aren't exactly trying to convince anyone here, as there's obviously enough of you taking part in those discussions to lynch me and never utter a reason why in public, but it'd sure be nice, from my end, to know even just a fraction of that (and I'm sure our dearly departed friends wouldn't mind hearing any of it, either), heh. Though, even when I have had conversations in private (which, admittedly, I was the one contacted, not the one to reach out), I've been dropped back out quickly, and I'd bet that has plenty to do with the very same investigation results (or in my case, lack thereof).

As for two scum ganging up on Wheeler, there were also, what, four? other folks who hopped on that with them. And as I told Wilder in private a bit ago, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that Vanderbilt and Francis could have had a plan to redirect their (and others') votes, as it was still early in the day.

But none of that really changes anything. You're all deadset on me for one reason or another, and there's all of a few minutes left.

Going to sound like a broken record here. I think that your best bet will be Wheeler or Jones. Out of all the possible scenarios I can imagine in which the purists make a late game gamble, the one involving Wheeler, where he appears to take an early bussing that later in the day gets turned around onto someone else, seems the most reasonable and plausible. No purists would be harmed in that ploy. Holloway's scenario would have him bussing one of his own AND killing one (as I've now been informed), which seems both unreasonable, and an utterly stupid trade to make just to solidify yourself as a loyalist. Jones is a possibility too, but that's just on the assumption that he's bluffed his roleclaim. If I were alive tomorrow, and I had to pick between those two, I would definitely say Wheeler. But that's just me.
