Werewolf: Round 2

Your loyal bloodhound thanks you for the trust that you showed him yesterday. Although satisfied to sink my teeth in a target at last, I will not rest until every werewolf has been eliminated. Finding that Kuph was a regular wolf rather than a beast was a bit disappointing, but my logic remains as solid as ever.

Today we lynch RayofLight, who is certainly and without question a wolf, if not even beast or devil.

The reason I suspect Beast or Devil, specifically, is because of night 1. In the IRC chat after the metawerewolf, five people were present: RayofLight, Kuph, Snail, Jman and myself.

The latter four are all dead, and three of them proven to not be wolves. I believe what happened on night 1 was that RayofLight jumped Kuph because of his claim at being a scry. Did he stupidly jump him even though, had Kuph been a scry, that would put him in the strongest of suspicion? Or did he do it because he suspected Kuph for being a wolf and wanted to join forces? I cannot tell, but noone besides RoL who isn't definitely a villager should've known about Kuph's claim.

No matter what, RoL is a wolf. Here's a PM I sent to RoL the day I was lynched:

I wrote:I missed you on the IRC. I can explain what's going on with Jman to you there. Or here. Whichever you prefer.

Actually, whatever. There's not much time.

If I am correct, you and Jman are the last two regular villagers. Jman is in contact with snail's scry and also the masons. As am I, now. I've proven my innocence to one of the masons and Jman.

Jman is bluffing. He didn't tell me about this at all, and I would've stopped him if he'd asked me about it. The lie is transparent as fuck.

I've been explained he's doing this in hopes to get assassinated tonight, taking the heat off of the real scrier.

I can clarify in the IRC if you have questions.

Here are his answers:

RayofLight wrote:Ah, I see.
Interesting.
And wow at Jman. *facepalm*
Thanks for the info.

RayofLight wrote:clarification* rather

It is my belief that RayofLight deliberately assassinated Jman so as not to seem connected to this post. What I want to direct your attention towards, though, is the second PM he sent me. He starts by going "Thanks for the info." But then he feels the need to correct himself, calling it a clarification instead. This is because he was afraid I would see suspicion in it being called info. Ironically, it is the correction I must hold as suspicious.

Flimsy, you say? Perhaps. It's an addendum. The tip of the iceberg.

Here are some PMs Snail decided to inform me about recently. They were received on day 2, when I was trying to lynch him:

RayofLight wrote:You're a wolf?

Snail roughly wrote:I can't say; you'll find out tonight I guess?

RayofLight wrote:I suppose the scrier could've been wrong. Ehehe. We can't trust anyone.

Note the remark about the scry. I assume this is because he heard about my scry's result on Snail from Kuph.

As you can see, Snail is dead. This post was RayofLight's reason to attack.

Thank you for your attention. I hope you will direct your anger correctly today as well.

Don't wow at me mister. It worked, didn't it? It's not like I was trying to make sure my lie wasn't transparent, as I would never just come out and say I was scry, even if I was.

So you take that facepalm back or my palm goes in your face. xD

Just kidding, but RayofLight does seem rather suspicious and I think he's a fitting target to lynch today, as the game is nearing an end regardless.

I still say lynch AlphaDecay90......but whatever, it's all cool.

I'll present my argument against that, but I really don't care if I'm lynched. I'm going to take an impartial stance on these accusations.

That definitely sounds plausible. However, you do realize that that's far-fetched, saying that I lynched Kuph because he claimed he was a scry when it could have been any other reason for me (if I am indeed a wolf) or the others.
You fail to take into account what the wolves were thinking when they chose Kuph.
In psychology, they call that confirmation bias - a tendency to search for information that confirms to one's preconceptions.
There are a myriad of reasons why the wolves would vote for any person. Don't just narrow that down to one.

I'm sort of pissed that you're giving the wording evidence as true evidence that I'm suspicious.
I thought info at first, and then thought clarification, as I was clicking answer.
It's a pet peeve of mine to use the wrong word in a context, so I wanted to immediately send the correction.
However, there's a 30 sec. interval between re-replying and I sent it as soon as that was over.
Within the same minute. "This is because he was afraid I would see suspicion in it being called info."
Please tell me why I would think that you would see suspicion in the clarification being called "info"?
I'm sorry, I seriously don't understand that part of your argument.

JMan told me that your scry told him that Snail came back as wolf, so I was curious as to whether that was true.
I fail to see how that even counts as "evidence".

Lol, true. I dunno, I wanted you to stay alive until the end.

I guess it really doesn't matter if you all decide to lynch me or not.
More so because you're probably going to read Zed's post and go all "that's such a great argument, time to bandwagon".
But I ask you to read our evidence and decide if I truly am guilty or not.
Thanks.

Sorry RoL if you're not a wolf, but I'm gonna have to side with Zed. I know too many people who AREN'T wolves, and I don't have a real lead on anyone else other than wowzeranne, but I already agreed with zed to lynch Kuph and then you, so I'm gonna have to lynch you now unless someone can get better evidence on someone else up. So my vote goes to RayofLight .And the only reason I would have to believe that you're not a wolf is that I believe you are the one that snail told my real identity to in hopes of having you "go and find some info on others", and quite frankly I'm not dead yet xD

I'm not entirely sure who to vote for right now because everyone is going to think I'm just going with the flow again, but I really don't have any leads on anyone and after a week of not playing this I don't really know what's going on. However I'm interested in knowing Finrocks' reasoning for why he thinks I'm a wolf because I just feel I really haven't done all that much. Maybe I just seems suspicious? But I can assure you villagers, I haven't been scheming!

LET THERE BE (DEAD RAYOF)LIGHT(010)!

I shall clear up a couple of points.

It's not why you lynched Kuph yesterday. You and all the other wolves voted him for lynching simply to wash your hands off him. I'm saying the scrier-claim is why you assassinated him on night 1.

I found it to seem more effort than it was worth. If this had been over instant messaging, I would've thought nothing of it. Protip for the next time: You can edit PMs through your outbox if the recipient haven't read them yet.

Like I said though, tip of the iceberg. The PMs with Snail are conclusive.

RayofLight wrote:JMan told me that your scry told him that Snail came back as wolf

I didn't know about Jman telling you this. I also didn't know that my scry had contact with Jman. Jman, can you confirm this? He certainly never told me. However, this is irrelevant. The argument which you are refuting was simply an offhand comment. The evidence contained in Snail's PMs were so obvious I didn't even mention it: The fact that you contacted Snail asking if he was a wolf. The only reason you'd do that is if you were a wolf and were looking for another one.

About Kuph: I was just saying that there's no reason for me to vote Kuph if I was a wolf. If anything, I could've also voted to assassinate you (another scry) first.
Also, just curious, how are you sure that the wolves voted for Kuph on the first day? It could've been anyone. There are 6 wolves according to me and JMan's speculah, and I doubt that Kuph was necessarily the one found.

Also, I was trying to get snail to affirm his guilt so that I could lynch him for sure.
Just because you're asking someone if they're _____ doesn't confirm your guilt. It just means that you're plotting something.

I'll be gone for the next few days, anywho. Spring Break + no Internet = mildly fun.
Good luck everyone.

If there were six wolves we would've already lost; there are five or four. Total, that is. There are four or three left now. I first suspected that Kuph had attacked you, but since he wasn't the beast that couldn't have been the case. Whoever was attacked on night 1 was done so by the beast. I can't figure out why some random villager didn't die if the attack was not initiated based on your intel from the IRC chat.

RayofLight010 wrote:Just because you're asking someone if they're _____ doesn't confirm your guilt. It just means that you're plotting something.

If you replace _____ with baner/mason/scry then this holds true. I wouldn't expect to get anywhere asking somebody if they were a wolf. The only reason one would have for doing this is if I were a wolf and hoping to save an assassination vote for the night round. Snail responded ambiguously, which is why you attacked him the following night.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I honestly don't recall telling RayofLight that.

Wowzeranne says: "But I can assure you villagers, I haven't been scheming!"

1. how can we be assured you werent scheming?

2. the "you villagers" part caught my attention, why do you say you villagers, is it a figure of speech or just a slip of thought of you being a wolf.

3. even if you werent scheming, you can still be a wolf that votes at night? (this is if and only if that you assured us of you not scheming)

Villagers we shall lynch rayoflight on this day, and the next we shall take out wowzeranne, that will be a win for the villagers

i vote rayoflight010

Stfu nub, go back to the spirit world

And the evidence against RoL is serious but I don't feel like jumping on a bandwagon just yet. Bandwagoning is what got Zed killed in the first place so I'm gonna wait for any other evidence to come up before casting my vote

Day 5 Has Ended.
RayofLight010 was lynched.
Of course Ray initially resisted. When the villagers went to apprehend him, he fought back and took off. His run was short lived, however, when one of the guards around the city shot him in the leg.
Ray of light was delirious and bleeding heavily when he was finally dragged to the gallows, but he still had more fight in him. The ropes were secured around his neck when he finally came back to reality.
As the floor dropped, his eyes went wide and he started clawing at the ropes. His body shook as his legs grew out. Hair grew out all over his person. His shirt tore, and his front teeth extended.
Suddenly the wooden gallows holding him up began to buckle, and the townspeople ran in terror as it snapped under his weight.
RayofLight010, the Beast, stumbled around bleeding heavily for another minute or so, attacking buildings and howling with his last bit of strength. Thankfully for the villagers, the armed guards arrived quickly to his screams and shot Ray repeatedly. He fell backwards in the town square, landing on a wooden fragment which would impale him as his body struck the ground. Bewildered townsfolk showed up to investigate the scene. At least 7 feet tall with massive fangs and wild yellow eyes, Ray would've horrified the most battle-hardened veteran. Now, riddled with bullet holes and bleeding heavily, the villagers wondered what to do with this massive corpse.
His body was set alite and the townsfolk took turns spitting on his smoldering corpse.
And that was the end of RayofLight010.


And now, my fellow citizens,
their leader is finally dead.
Rejoice in this wonderful news, and know you now all have a significant shot at defeating them all. You've caught the baddest of the bad. Now let's see you get the last few runts surviving.

Good luck to you all,

The Mayor

Night 5 Begins Now.
Scrys and wolves send in your votes, blah blah blah, don't take forever please.
Thank you.

Okay, I vote rayoflight but as for the winning-if-you-lynch-me thing, you're going to do a major facepalm after! I don't want to see you all doing facepalms!

...he's dead now, you just missed all that...

I'll state this now: WowzerAnne is perfectly innocent. We have quadruple-confirmed this. The remaining three wolves will be named tomorrow, as the evidence towards them is the exact same thing.

Well I'm just gonna go ahead and vote in advance for tomorrow since there is a chance that I might not be able to get on. My next lynching vote is for alphadecay90 . And I appoligize Wowzeranne, we scried you three times and every single one returned villager, I thought for sure that meant you were the beast, but turns out I was wrong, you were just a villager who happened to seem suspicious xD

And since we've already got it down to the last three wolves out of a possible four, I believe it is safe to come out and say that I'm actually snail's real scry, and thanks Jman for covering, that helped us confirm enough people to narrow it down to four people (one of whom is EXTREMELY unlikely to have been assigned a wolf due to his history of not participating)

What? That's a load of bull, I was going to vote RoL but wanted more time to make a lynching decision. Mr. mayor, could you please consider the fact that not all of us have access to a computer 24/7 and make day/night cycles last longer? Thank you.

Next day prolly will be longer, but I did say that i'd end it today at 6, and plus seems the Zed once again did a good job at steering the mob, as popular demand had fallen on RoL without pretty much any other votes at anyone else.
I do understand though where you're coming from and so tomorrow will be longer, it's just that this game is so close to an end I'm curious to see how it ends, so i'm kind of pushing it along perhaps too fast. Oh well.
Duly noted and taken into account, and as for the duration of this night cycle, that all depends on how fast my remaining wolves and scries can get their votes in.

I will allow Zed to explain tomorrow, if he does not, then I will give my reasons. But you are one of the people I had included in the "four left"(really 3 since one of them is highly unlikely to be a wolf), since there are probably 3 wolves left, I think its safe to assume that we should lynch you.
