infos should be given, and roles disclosed, only when doing so helps the village.

take sythas's seer in the last game. it would have made zero sense to come out as the seer with just scans of dead people to show for. or it would be pretty dum to disclose oneself as the stalwart -for example- until well into the game (or if under lynch threat). Other roles, like the soother if the soother power was used by a villager on intell, would make much more sense to have been disclosed earlier.

as far as infos, also consider that some info that might appear not particularly valuable to the person holding that, might become much better once triangulated with other intelligence.

of course this is true for the wolves as well, so there is that.
 
LOL I'm not riding with anyone, and as you can see SS just voted for me...

But if you're going to make someone else give up info, shouldn't you do the same? Seems kind of odd not to.
i never said i would, moyank. SS did state she would. and with that kind of info, its a wonder she hasnt died yet right?

lol, keep avoiding it? ill answer right after you give some info up.

I'm not avoiding anything, and silly acronyms won't persuade me to act in favour of, or against, a proposition.

Moreover, I am not answerable to you. However, I am amenable to arguments - intelligently argued.

DP has asked you - on at least three occasions - why you were certain that chrmjenkins was not the Oracle? I suspect it may have been because you two were in the NW, or something similar, but cannot know until this is confirmed.

At this stage, it may also be useful to speculate - if briefly - on what powers our WW colleagues may have in their possession. In particular, I have in mind the power to misdirect, or give a wrong answer or an information gathering exercise. In this context, I refer to the Meddler and Smoker powers; each of them are 'one off' powers but they can ensure that incorrect readings are given to an information gatherer.

We do not know, of course, whether they have access to both.
 
so it looks like the wolves have the guard too? and they guarded there own, SS.

Rick, with posts like that,which display such a sure grasp of things, such mulish and tenacious wrong-headedness, and such a capacity for saying and doing the Wrong Thing, consistently, if I were a WW, I'd keep strive hard you alive until the very end, too. Last man standing and all that.
 
how so?

btw, i am not defending SS. in fact her and you, and comeagain for separate reasons, are two of the few there could be an argument for being WW, in my view.
ok dp, i was the scavenger. i asked the GG to steal chrmjenkins power when he died. got hunter. just tried to kill SS, didnt work. i have a feeling im the only active villager though, not a good spot.

yep, i surmise that much after the attempt.
it doesn't mean though that the guard was infected (although it is a possibilities, in which case we are in trouble)

they cannot have access to both.
at most one WW is from the 'exclusive' pool, possibly none.
the alpha and kami extra powers are drawn form the general pool. the third normal WW from the general+WW exclusive pool, the infected was obviously a villager before, and the morpher, if a t play, can only target general pool roles.

this is very weird.

to me it looks like SS was the thug or she is being protected by the guard, and the hunter tried to shoot her down

Looks like SS may have been under the protection of the guard?

I have to dash to the bank before it closes, - which gives me half an hour - but this is a stupefying series of posts - and a dear friend is on the phone - has just phoned me from Bristol
.just back from that.

Rick - I honestly don't know why you persist in chasing the obvious (Occam's Razor notwithstanding); there are far more credible candidates out there. Posting frequently does not make you a wolf.

And choosing as a target someone who refuses to respond to your demands is downright moronic, and mulish. And a waste of a valuable power.

Well, at least we have an answer to one question, which is how you knew chrmjenkins's power.

Secondly, I thank the Guard. I am rather grateful to his/her action in protecting me.

Thirdly, I am not a wolf.

Fourthly, - to clear at least one thing up, if only a little, I hold one of the three information gathering positions. As I was guarded last night, and today (again, my grateful thanks) it is unlikely that this can happen again tonight.

yet you dont give any info. too bad others arent playing.
 
mm, i was quite hoping you were the thug, pretending to be an information gatherer to try to attract the night/day attack to make it to be wasted.
btw, since the attack happened after the deadline, it might well be that you are currently under protection from the guard, not that you were yesterday (it kind of depends on timing of Pms and twietee's take) so you should get your next read and sail into the morning.

others, however, will not be so lucky :( ;)
