What a surprise LR is knocked of my list of suspects....
Thanks adrena.
Well I might as well tell you now rather than later that...
Grayma(aka vlerma was a cowboy).
Yep it is all or nothing now.
Hopefully you find an injun this time or it's all over.
Good luck.
Stewie.

Oh great, that's not good. LR is one of our best players and him getting eaten makes me even more suspicious. Oh well, let's see if we got a wolf last round.
I'm also waiting for Stewie to tell us if Grayma was a wolf or not.
I did go back through the last round to see if there was an obvious reason that LR might have been eaten, and the only thing he did was try to figure out why everyone was voting for Grayma and state, more than once, that he did suspect Lance of being a wolf. However, his was just suspicions like we all have had for others.
Since we now have 10 people left with 4 possible remaining wolves, (if Grayma was human) we really have to shoot a wolf this round or we are pretty much doomed to a wolf win. I'll be back later to see what other thoughts have been posted.
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

Morning all.
Thanks for the info Stewie, we just shot another cowboy. yuk
You're right Froggy, if we don't get an Indian this time the game is over. I'm sad to see that they ate LR last night, he was good at analysing all the guff so I suppose that was the reason. Who did he suspect?? I'll go have a look at his posts last round. brb as I have about another 30 minutes before I have to go to work.

It looks like LR voted for catmandon twice, bobbi once, and Lance last round. Not quite enough to go on, but I am going to keep my eye on Lance... I can see no other reason to eat LR unless it is just because he's a sharp player. Still going to read back over his posts.

I've got to go to work but will try and get back later on this afternoon.
Yes last round LR voted for Lance. I'm going to wait and see what everyone else says before I make up my mind as to who to vote for this round.
Edit: to correct spelling again!!

oh man, after reading v's post yesterday i felt like a grade a heel for voting for her, now knowing she was human makes me feel even worse
and i thought roger was one too, ugh
really need to rethink

Well after seeing vlerma to be human and LR get eaten I'm totally lost. I'm not sure who to go with. And the worst part of it is that when I look at the previous rounds, I LOOK THE MOST SUSPICIOUS. How's that for frustrating. Well if you guys all vote for me, I can't blame you, I would vote for me at this point. But like I said before, if I was a wolf (which I love being one) I would be much more careful about keeping my cover like the wolves have done so well in doing in this game. But as a human, my strategy has always been to be a little suspicious so as to not get eaten but not enough to get shot.
But regardless, I'm going with my only other real suspect I can think of at the moment (I'm to lazy to go check my suspicions from the round that I listed them in, and I'm to lazy to edit this post once I get around to checking haha) and that is 4demo.

One shot left to save us humans... AHHHHHHH you wolves I bow to you, way to stay well hidden. Thank you for leaving me alive to play a game. Though I guess you did so because I am no threat what so ever... I'll add my vote, Demo is as good as any when you really have no clue... Just to put it out there for later reference.... DEB, PP and Wolverine are 3 wolves, just want to see if I'm correct later. As to the 4th no clue could be 4demo maybe?
Apologies for missing the end of last round and the start of this one...
Alright, I usually will not ardently dissuade others from voting for me since I believe we're each entitled to our own beliefs and the right to act upon those convictions, but Lance and adrena, it would be helpful if a more solid reason for voting for me could be provided. Lance, you say I'm your only real suspect, which is fine, but what's the reasoning behind those suspicions? Adrena... while I certainly agree that a majority is called for this round more so than before, I'm not particularly fond of the logic "as good as any when you really have no clue" even when the target is someone besides myself.
I don't mean to sound defensive and as I said, you have every right to vote for me;I can promise you that I am a human, but those efforts generally tend to be wasted words often misinterpreted as over-defensiveness, so it may be wiser to not bother. However, you have to realize that it looks quite suspicious on your behalf if you are voting for me without any concrete reason whatsoever, and it's entirely possible the two of you are in an wolfish alliance.
Lance, you say you would not be so obvious if you were indeed a wolf, but what's to say you aren't using that as a clever dismissive cover-up? That is, that you are actually a wolf and acting somewhat suspiciously, then claiming you would never do that as a sort of reverse psychology attention-diverting device? (Reminds me of Crime and Punishment, actually...) I for one would be very hesitant to rule you out solely on that basis.
At this point, at least one wolf has been floating under our radars very well. I can't say I have any particularly concrete accusations against either at the moment, but I'm slightly wary of froggy (very helpful wolf posing as human to gain trust?) and Hadleigh (active enough but not spouting too many new assertions of her own, mostly going along with shooting humans), especially the latter.

Demo, I am always quite vocal and help out as much as I can when I play any game. If being helpful makes one look like a wolf, then the humans will never win a game. I'm human and I'm not afraid to point something out when I see it - even though it usually does get me eaten pretty early in these games. But, why play if you are not going to be involved and try to win?
I do realize that we have to get a wolf this time or that's about it. At this point, I have no idea where to put my vote since we have been incorrect so far. We still have 25 hours before the time runs, so I'm going to wait and see what other thoughts are brought up.
I'll be back in a few hours.
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

Hey guys, sorry about the deleted post above. I left this web page open at work, and some of the students in the class I TA for posted some very inappropriate things. Sorry about that guys.
I actually think Lance's last post is a little bit suspicious. I'm not ready to vote yet because I'm at work, but when I get home in a couple hours, I will post a vote and see what else has transpired.
Dear God, That which I am about to do is really stupid. I hope I come out of this alive. Thanks God. Peace Out. (Stage Crew Prayer)

Right; I understand, froggy. As I implied, I'm not exactly suspicious of you yourself right now, just stating it's possible for a wolf to be acting seemingly very helpfully while actually leading humans on the wrong path or in order to gain trust and enough support to take out a human. And of course I definitely appreciate all your help in deciphering ICUB42's hints.
I suppose one could argue that Lance has been acting at least mildly oddly if not downright suspiciously, and perhaps it wasn't just coincidence Roger, who was probably his most vocal critic, was just eaten. If we assume that Lance is a wolf, I'm also curious about adrena, for following his vote without much of a proper reason. But all of my suspicions thus far have proved false, so I'm almost afraid to trust myself.

I, too, have my suspicions, but I'm sure enough to jump on any voting bandwagon. I don't feel like 4demo is a wolf, but my gut isn't always right (I was fairly sure that either cat or GA was a wolf, and both ended up being human!)
We still have a full day to vote, so I'm going to listen for a bit, then vote my gut tomorrow if I have nothing else to go on.

If I had to make a choice right now, Lance, you would get my vote.

ok well i don't think demo is a wolf cause she found those blasted white posts and re-reading icu's posts i have to agree that those were cleared humans if not all at least pal, that being said i am going with adrena this round, why, if your interested is because she is awfully quite and as the game winds down becoming more vocal, flimsy, perhaps, but really what else is there to go on, lance is another possibility as well as hadleigh
4demo-found white posts(if i was a wolf i wouldn't say anything if i found it)
adrena
auntiesis
debc1--i know i am human, really
froggygg--??
Hadleigh
LanceKolaski
Paladin--clear by dung & drag
ppjones--how was he cleared oh yeah ppj something iffy but ok
Wolverine115--cleared by golden gate
so i don't know about frog-i have to look back and see how much she helped on icu's white, if she did help then that leaves adrena, aunt, had, and lance as our wolves
oh i just realized i need to change my sig
now if we want to vote lance i am ok with that also

Deb, while I had noticed one of the white posts and did some work on solving their meanings, froggy was the one who noticed and posted all of them, so I would assume she is most likely human.
Obviously simple probability alone isn't going to help us, but with ten players left, we have a 40% chance of shooting a wolf with a majority on any random player. With three almost definitively cleared players, that becomes about 57%. For a human who knows him/herself to not be a wolf, it's almost 67%. I just found that slightly reassuring...

Sorry for double posting. I will be out all day until about 6 pm, and the round will end by then, so this is my last post of the round. As I've said, my current suspicions are Hadleigh, Lance, and adrena. I'm not more certain of any one than the other two; some might say Lance has been behaving most suspiciously but I don't want to assume that necessary means wolfish motives. Since deb has voted for adrena, I'm going to second her vote (not as a retaliatory or self-protecting vote; I've already stated her following another's blind vote equally blindly is puzzling at best) in hopes that the remaining humans might form a majority on a potential wolf and make it to the next day. That said, goodnight and good luck.

At this point we need to be extremely careful because it is our last chance. So far the most suspicious people have been humans. And it's even more frustrating that the wolves aren't jumping out this round. I would think that I have been suspicious enough to get at least one possible wolf to vote for me. Also, 4demo is confusing me because she is sounding less and less wolfish but she's still my best bet for this round and this might be my last chance to post this round.
Finally I get a break from work to be able to log on and see what's happened.
Demo, I know I'm normally pretty active in these games but as I've tried to explain the Tax season starts in Australia on 1 July and we are snowed under with work. (Clients are getting annoyed that the soonest they can get an appointment is now the middle of August.) I know it's sounds pretty lame but I am not trying to fly under the radar, RL is taking my valuable Braingle time at the moment. Mind you, you haven't been all that active yourself.
I have my suspicions toward auntiesis. She made 2 posts in Rounds 2, 3 & 4, one in Round 5 and nothing so far this Round. She looks to me like she is really trying to fly under the radar and trying not to be noticed. My vote will be for her.
Edit It has just taken me an hour & half to write this due to constant interuptions. Lance's post wasn't there when I started this.... sorry

At this point I know nothing and have nothing. It's the last round as I see it. I'm just shooting in the dark and jumped on the first vote because I feel all hope is lost. The wolves have won. Unless we get lucky. So my vote stays, the computer can pick how this goes. Hell if we had 2 votes each for some players the pick may work in us humans favor ???

I'm also at a loss as to who our wolves are, although I have narrowed it down to 5 people that I feel are good candidates for one reason or another. Those are demo, auntie, adrena, and deb. I just am not getting wolf vibes from Lance or Hadleigh. But, I've been wrong this entire game, so I'm just guessing as everyone else is.
Since I see there are already two votes for adrena and two votes for demo, I'm going to vote for auntie to put them all at two votes each. The way this game has been going, maybe the computer can get us a wolf...

Ugh... it's a 3 way tie, and I get on the airplane in 30 minutes, with 46 minutes left. I don't want to break the tie, and I'm not certain who the wolves are. I would put out a safety vote, but our seeker is already gone, so I'm just going to watch until my plane boards and I'll vote at the last second if needed.

Oh man, only 16 minutes left. Drat, I thought I had more time. Stupid work...
Oh well. Anyways, I really don't want to break this tie, so I'm going to get down on my knees now and pray for the next 16 minutes that we got a wolf. *Prays*
