Exactly, by them killing Plutonius it removes one that was cleared, and makes us wonder which of the other cleared ones might be infected assuming the infection is in play.

Is the infection only at night, or can it be done during the day? If it can be done during the day there is always the possibility that with all the vote shifting on day one we got close to getting a wolf and scared them into using the infection before votes changed to other players.

day or night, which means it can be saved for emergencies or to close the game.
i would guess it was not used yet, unless -as you mention- the alpha was in clear danger of being lynched

After I wrote that post I went back and looked over the first day's votes, and nothing stood out too much. Going by what happened then I would have said Moyank looked the most suspicious, but she has been cleared, so most likely your guess about the infection not being used is correct.

For now I'll get the voting started with a vote for Queen of Spades. She's mostly been quiet and flying under the radar, so I think some pressure should be put there to see if we can find out anything.
 
Predictable kill choice, but unfortunate nonetheless. Thanks for the drink, @Plutonius (go Red Sox).

I'm not terribly surprised to get a vote this round, I am on the "suspects" list. All I can say is I'm a villager. As I have taken careful note of the deadline this time (my bad), I'll be around for further defense if needed.
 
Sigh.

I suppose all I can say is that at this stage is that mutual suspicions tend to increasingly outweigh attempts at reasonable discussion. Anyway, no real surprise, here. Pretty predictable, in fact.

Nevertheless, while I have to say that my own suspicions are always just a little aroused when @Don't panic is still alive by the fourth day, claiming to be a villager, there are also a few others I'd recommend that we take a look at.
 
i was gonna jump back on my qos vote, but dont wanna start a bandwagon having no proof...so ill turn towards philbeeney who is been making me suspicious. why are you convince DP is a baddie?
 
@curmudgeonette and @philbeeney have been fairly quiet and haven't drawn much attention, and they happen to be on the non-cleared list. Leaving DP alive, as SS said is unusual...but it's a gamble I'd definitely take once in awhile. Or maybe it's the move of people that haven't played with him as much. Something to discuss, anyway.

@Scepticalscribe - tell us who they are if you're so inclined.

Man, as a WW, I'd keep DP around as long as possible. He's an easy suspect to turn people against the longer he stays alive.

I'm going to start with Philbeeney for now. Interested to see where some of the other votes fall.

Yeah, it's a gamble I'd take sometimes (if anything it's boring to kill him first every time) - but it's a gamble considering he has excellent skill at finding WWs. At this juncture, rick snagwell.
 
I've read that it's high time to eliminate Don't panic. However there's no groundswell of movement in that direction. The only votes for Don't panic in the entire game have been from philbeeney on this and the previous day. So scratch that option.

The uncleared seven of us are real close to each having been accused in this round. Maybe I should do my part and vote for mrkramer?

Instead, I'm going to vote with mrkramer by voting for Queen of Spades. Mrkramer's early vote right at the start of the day, i.e. right after the night actions were revealed, feels like the result of receiving some sort of intelligence. Besides, Queen repeat voted until the villager ravenvii was lynched.
 
Reading through our list of names, - there are names with whom I am not at all familiar here - is @Dsching even still with us?

Then, there are others who have been less visible than might normally be the case. Obviously, @philbeeney is one. You, yourself, @Queen of Spades are another, although I am not remotely convinced of your guilt. And @mrkramer is a third. The, there is @curmudgeonette, with whom I haven't played before, either.

Experience suggests that whenever @Don't panic is still alive by the Fourth Day it is either a miracle of preservation, - such as timely protection - or he may be on the side of the furries; this is because he tends to be a prime target early on. At this stage, it is a question, rather than a suspicion.

Re the NW, early in the game it is a wonderful way of vouching for, supporting, or clearing, someone; later on, as the game progresses, they tend to be a prime candidate for infection. Some time ago, it happened - twice in two sequencial games - that when I was a part of the NW, my partner (who was ravenvii) was infected. Twice.

Likewise, I have to say that @Moyank24 is a superb asset to any side she is on, whether village or WW. She was cleared early on, so is not high on a suspect list. However, the longer the game continues, the more likely it is that the infection comes into play.

For now, to my mind, the only fully cleared player is @Tomorrow, and, to a lesser extent, @Moyank24.
 
I'm going back to rick snagwell unless somebody can convince me otherwise.

wait a sec, didnt i just defend myself from your vote yesterday? i guess that is why your name is tomorrow....

can you take a look at philbeeney, i know coming from me might not be credible at all...but nobody else thinks it?
 
Hm.

Well, a tally at this stage might be of some use:

philbeeney: (2): rick snagwell, Moyank24

Queen of Spades: (2): mrkramer, curmudgeonette

rick snagwell: (2): Queen of Spades, Tomorrow

Don't panic: (1): philbeeney

Scepticalscribe: (1): Don't panic

Yet to vote, your humble scribe, and Dsching.

What we know so far: WoodNUFC, twietee, ravenvii, mscriv, Sythas, and Plutonius have been either killed or lynched. (I had to check my notes - some people have had such limited input that I had forgotten that they were even a part of the game).

Of the rest of us, I would regard Tomorrow as pretty much completely cleared, and Moyank, too, as she was inadvertently cleared earlier on. That doesn't mean that they cannot have been infected since, - unlikely in the case of Tomorrow - but there is no point in being prey to utter paranoia, and for now at least, I'd prefer to operate on the assumption that they are low on my own radar of possible suspects.

Elsewhere, Dsching and ravenvii were members of the NW, which means that they both started the game as villagers. Ravenvii is dead, and the NW has long been an ideal target for infection; certainly, while I think it more than possible that Dsching is not infected, I will also point out that he would offer a tempting target for infection.

Of the rest of us, Don't panic will always prompt scrutiny when he has survived this long.

Meanwhile, mrkramer, Queen of Spades, and myself are also in the mix, and are clearly suspects. Of the others, philbeeney and curmudgeonette and Dsching have flown very much under the radar, while rick snagwell is always invitingly easy to pile on.
 
just got out of a thesis defense.
it was unusually well-done so i am in a good and charitable mood.
i might even move my vote off Scepticalscribe. ;)

based on the above tally, there are 3 people at 2, but surprisingly none of them are using their vote effectively
i think i'll hang around a few minutes to see if anything interesting transpires

Yours or somebody else's?

(A very trying day for the person doing the defence).
 
You would think @philbeeney would come and use his vote to save himself. Even if he is a wolf and we have the second wolf in there there is always a third person he could vote for.
