Game #2230: The Right to Vote
This private game is moderated by Gizzer. Please read the rules and contact the moderator with any questions or concerns about this game.
This game finished in 8 rounds.
And then there were 3. One silver bullet remains. Will anyone get the chance to use it?
Round 7 Challenge
It would be nice if we could read the wolves' minds, wouldn't it? Well, I am not a wolf, but if you can read my mind, you will be able to answer this question and earn the right to vote.
What animal am I? (5/161/0)

Wow, another fast night. Well, we definitely have to earn the right to vote this round or else it's game over for us. Gahhh.
In Gizzer's clue for this round, beside "What animal am I?" there is the following in white: (5/161/0)
It's nearly midnight and I've got to wake up early tomorrow for school, so I'll have to check back tomorrow morning/afternoon. Good luck, Hadleigh. D:
Hmm, why did freakshow not vote nor tell us that he managed to solve the clue for last round? Maybe he wasn't online in time... gah.
Also, I don't think I ever could have worked out that challenge from last round. Wow. I'm not cut out for this. xD
"Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do."

I have no idea where to start and I will be the next to be shot based on the alphabetical approach the game takes.
That means the wolves win and more specifically Psychic_Master.
Based on when round 5 started, I believe there were only 2 possibilities. TanCW & Psychic_Master. I looked up everyone to see who was on line about half an hour before the Day started and there was only the 3 of us. Braingle time switched nearly 2 hours before and I think the wolves only get about an hour to disappear before the new round starts.
I will be totally shocked if krishnan turns out to be the last wolf.

Well, it makes it imperative that we solve the challenge now. I am currently outside now, and I will work on the puzzle when I get home. I have no idea about the 5/161/0, but I wonder if it has anything to do with the zookeeper game.
I also think Psychic_Master is the last wolf, based on the voting in round 4. Seven people earned the right to vote, 6 humans and 1 wolf. 5 people voted and I think TanCW got the right to vote but did not vote. No one else admitted to earning the right to vote, so someone lied. I guess whoever lied must be the wolf, so that would clear all the 5 people who voted (including Hadleigh). I think either Psychic_Master or PsychoMikey secretly earned the right to vote in that round so that we could not clear all the people who voted. Also, I think he has been very clever in the night eating and he has kept me alive since I am the only other person who is on the same lists as him every round and so cannot be cleared.

I have tried working those numbers back to animal quizzes but no luck. How would 5/161/0 relate to the zookeeper game??

Oh, wow. I didn't think I was actually going to have to defend myself this round. Alright.
Firstly: I think the biggest tell here is him voting Kruger in Round 1's Majority of One vote. I have done this before as wolf and have seen it being done countless other times by other wolves. It's a Majority of One vote, so everyone is going to get a vote anyway, and voting for a fellow wolf may help to take the heat off you later on in the game. I have also noticed many times when krishnan has been on, a lot of the time near the start of the round when he could have postedbut didn't say anything. Looking through the rounds, he also hasn't contributed to the shooting of any wolves, although his reason for not shooting Kruger last round is (apparently) because he was too late in sending the answer to receive confirmation on time. Kind of convenient, isn't it? He also did not contribute to shooting PsychoMikey, but neither did I, as GreenApples requested us to abstain from voting that round.
Also, in Round 4, both Krishnan and I claimed to have not earned the right to vote that round. However, clearly one of us is lying, as 6 humans and 1 wolf earned the right to vote but only 5 people voted. It isn't much, but note how in Round 5 I referenced to the fact that I did not solve the Round 4 challenge, whereas Krishnan neglected to do so. To me, it sort of feels as though he was trying to avoid the topic altogether, because if he admitted to solving the challenge, that would draw suspicion to him, and if he brought up the claim which he did not vote again, then it brings attention to the fact that clearly either him or I was lying, which would not be good news for him. It isn't much, I know, but I promise I really did not solve the Round 4 clue. I was out nearly the entire day at a birthday party, explaining the fact that I posted only once that entire Round. I would not have had the time to work that out, and looking at the solution, I don't think I would have even been able to.
I've looked through the voting lists but I can't seem to find anything which could confidently clear me from being a wolf. Disappointing. I think the only thing which could be potentially useful is the fact that in Round 3, Gizzer said that 5 humans and 1 wolf solved the challenge. Five people voted (including me), and one might infer that only a wolf would be secretive about him solving the challenge. Krishnan falls into the boat of the people who could have solved the challenge but didn't vote. I think it's very likely that he was the wolf who solved the challenge but did not vote.
I must say, though, that from an outsider perspective it would be a pretty difficult choice because Krishnan has been in the same boat as I have been in nearly everything, so I don't blame you if you make the wrong choice.
At any rate, it doesn't look like this clue is likely to be solved. I tried to crack my head on all the possible meanings of 5/161/0, but I can't think of anything. I tried to look for things related to 16th of May, 2010 (5/16/10), but that didn't really yield much aside from the day which the following singers died: Hank Jones and Ronnie James Dio, but I couldn't really find anything concrete on either of them. I got excited for a while on the Wikipedia page for Ronnie James Dio, because it stated he was in a band called "The Vegas Kings" which was active 1957-1958 with a guy called "Billy DeWolfe" but I think that's a dead end.
It's a shame, because we really could have won this, too, if only we had been able to solve the challenges for the past two rounds. But a bit of inactivity by the players coupled with the fairly difficult challenges set by Gizzer sort of messed up the plan.

"Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do."
I am back home now and I am trying to solve the puzzle now. I hope that all of us will be available near the round end, so that if someone does solve the puzzle, we will at least be able to vote and not finish the game in a lame fashion with the wolf just cruising through a no vote round.
I am going to defend myself against some of the stuff Psychic_Master just said. First of all, in round 1, I gave a solid reason for voting for KRUGERGIRL, due to her inactivity. In fact, I initially voted for Psychic_Master and changed it to a different person after he had posted. I also voted quite early and it was not obvious at the time that it will be a MoO vote. People could have easily joined the bandwagon against KRUGER since I didn't select her for no reason.
In round 2, we both voted for jtolley for exactly the same reason, he had not posted at all. In round 3, I did not see the link in the smiley until GA's post late in the round mentioning a link. Gizzer had already gone to bed and so, I did not get confirmation in time to vote that day. Also, I had already said that KRUGER was my first suspect and there was a bandwagon on her anyway, so even if I were a wolf I would have voted for her anyway so as to not bring suspicion on myself. I haven't been secretive at all about this, as I clearly admitted that I solved it and have sent the answer to Gizzer for confirmation.
In round 4, I clearly stated during the round that I have solved the challenge, but I did not send the answer to Gizzer due to GreenApples' strategy. I don't know if Psychic_Master solved the challenge or not (he claims he didn't), but it could also have been PsychoMikey who solved it so that we cannot clear all the people who voted. I don't see how I was avoiding this topic in round 5 because I had already stated in round 4 that I have the solution but I didn't send it in to Gizzer due to our strategy.
Another issue that came up a few times already is about ppjones having claimed to earn the right to vote in round 3. Firstly, he never stated this clearly, and secondly, since I know I earned the right, and the other 5 people who earned the right voted, I know that ppjones didn't. Also, if I were a wolf, I would not admit to earning the right to vote that round, since if someone else claimed it, then I would have been completely cleared.
Anyway, all this will be moot if we don't solve the puzzle, so let us see if we can do that before the round ends!

What a sad ending to such a good game with no one being able to vote.

I've been busy with school work so I haven't been able to follow up on the challenge besides the stuff I posted above. Just popping in for a while and then I have to go again.
And yeah, it is a shame. Ah well. It has been a fun game, Gizzer. Good job to Krishnan / Hadleigh? Don't think I'll be able to come back on again until the end of the game.

I've looked at quizzes and brain teasers trying all sorts of combinations with those numbers but have got nothing.
I've resigned myself to not being able to vote.

I have made no progress in the puzzle.
Let us just say who we would have voted for if we had got the voting rights.
I would have voted for Psychic_Master. What about you two, Hadleigh and PM?

I too would have voted for Psychic_Master.... sorry if you aren't the wolf.
Giz keeps saying mmmm?? is there a clue there?
I did send a PM but I didn't get the right animal.

millimeters? millipedes? 4000, or 4 million? I saw the mmmm above but I have no idea what that means.
I know Gizzer has put a lot of effort into this, so sorry Gizzer for not solving any of the last few puzzles.
The game has ended. Not even a psychic master could read my mind, so the wolves won as easy as ABC.
Solution to the Challenge
In this game, those who are not wolves are humans, so you need to read The Human Mind in the public forums (mmmm = 4 m's = forums).
There, you will find the topic Wht Animal are you?.
My post at the bottom indicates that depending on my answers, I am either a caterpillar or a tiger.
I even left a hidden message there before I went to bed last night.
(The numbers in white refer to the 5th message board, topic 161, page 0, which appear in the URL of the page.)
No one solved this, not even from the grave.
