No matter how you feel about EAD right now, I hope we can all agree that he absolutely, positively must not survive to the end of the game. He only ever manages to fade that many night kills in a row if he's the wolf.
i started going after aksdal where there was zero heat on him. if there was a bussing it would have been aksdal > me not me > aksdal

and aksdal was a wolf. are you saying the wolf was making good points on me? are you really making a case based on 27 right now?

i have no idea what this means, what night kills would i have had to fade? why cant i survive to must lynch?

it seems like youre coming in here today wanting to make sure no one is clearing me and making sure i remain a possible lynch.

Myself and EADGBE were the only ones who stayed on the Aksdal wagon to the end both days. Note that Willi would appear to have been as well, looking at the tables, but he actually attempted to change his vote from Aksdal to VMF (but VMF had already had enough votes for maj). For EADGBE to be w/w with Aksdal he'd have to be bussing him pretty early on. And doing so when there's 11 villagers and only 2 wolves left is a pretty bad play by the wolves IMO.

Tappokone, Nofear, and DB305 didn't vote for Aksdal either day. I think it's more likely than not that Aksdal's partner puts at least one vote on him over this period so I'm inclined to give these guys village credit. Which confirms what I'd already believed as these are some of the most villagery people left in the game.

XXsooted votes Aksdal the first day but yesterday he puts a vote on him and then unvotes soon afterward. Now if sooted was trying to bus the first day, surely he'd do the same the next day? Vote/unvoting here as w/w is really weird.

Noah doesn't vote him the first day but does the second when he gets wagoned. I have to read over last night and read Aksdal/Noah's posts and interations in the thread to evaluate if it's possible they are w/w. It seems a bit more likely than some of the alternatives.

Willi had a weird vote change the first day off of Aksdal after the CFD went down, and despite making some defenses I've found villagery he still hasn't been saying much and has done some weird things. So I'm most likely voting for Willi today.

TheNothing would probably be my next choice after Willi. He needs to post a bit more IMO.

that 1-2 they just did on VM was just too weird i dont understand it. theres a ton of lynches ahead of VM at this point, but theyre working hard to unclear people. wolfs are getting grinded down by POE right now and need unclears badly. seems like pretty wolfy behavior.
is this why youre coming after me? because i'm the only one who has you on my wolfdar right now?

Yeah it gets tough at this point because pretty much everyone is generally villagery.

And it's possible that the wolf didn't vote on Aksdal's wagon yesterday and then would try to clear themselves on that, but I doubt it.

I don't like this post by tappo. If the wolves are confident that the village will mislynch a villager if he isn't NKd at some point, then they WON'T NK HIM.

So that aksdal wagoned me twice at the start of the day and I was on him for the 3 days doesn't mean nothing to you?

I also voted for vmf before maj, but i forgot bolding so i needed to make new post. I did not cfd for the sooted, because I did not believe much that he is a wolf, but jumped to vmf wagon, because there was some uncertantity about him and aksdal wagon was never going to happen.

Probably noah or eadgbe would be my choice today. I am goin to the cinema soon, but noah gets the vote so far. Mac thought he is the wolf and things has not clear him much. Also it is pretty annoying that you do not want to watch askdal case and blindly use that systolic advice. He was pretty wrong about aksdal and this changes lot the advice he gave to us.

Sorry, no. It makes sense for two wolves to be adversarial if one or more of them are receiving heat.

you didnt just not vote for aksdal

you ignored his wagon for 2 days and just made hedgy noncomittal posts about him.

why are you in such a rush to lynch willi?

hes the guy who the wolfs have been trying to get lynched forever, remember?

like me?

your reads are too firm, like how youre clinging to your noah vlean no matter what since like d2.

Gadarene - was my random fake peek. Appears to be trying to catch wolves while explaining thought processes.
Supine - was my second fake peek. Otherwise I'd be neutral on him.
Systolic - hopped on the HiFi train early when he could have board Timi express instead.

NEUTRAL
Anarchist - is somewhat likely to be on the same team as Systolic, but isn't really helping.
DB305 - has made some weird arguments and/or is a newbie.

PAY ATTENTION TO THESE
HiFi - is important to correctly interpreting day one vote.
AKSpartan - see HiFi.
shanks - says he falls into UTR mode when a wolf. So far showing a bit of effort.
27allin/Aksdal/etc. - haven't done much to distinguish themselves.

WOLVES
Sun Tzu - was peeked by seer
Nofear3838 - initiated the Timi wagon with poor reasoning.
XXsooted - has been complimented on his game, so what the hell is he doing?
look how super careful your list is

you wont get caught out on any of the wolfs

you rode that no real opinion on aksdal thing to the very end

Tappokone, please don't be offended by this request. I'm just doing due diligence.

Given the current state of affairs, could someone besides me and EADGBE re-read tappokone?

I am sure hoping he is not leading us down a villagery path to doom, but given Aksdal's lynch as wolf yesterday, I'm seeing some holes showing in his analysis. I am not going to spell these out yet because I feel my aggressiveness has caused people to draw conclusions based upon my arguments.

Willi if you made more posts like this you would be far easier to clear. This is a really good point that I wasn't aware of. You bussing Aksdal that early is even less likely than some of the earlier bus options. And your attempted vote off of Aksdal two days ago would make even less sense if you had indeed been trying to bus him before then.

Someone asked VM how his voting record looked like. He claimed not to remember, so I reminded him. It's a helpful, villagery thing to do, especially as his voting record is as wolfy as they come.

For the record, I've been skeptical of the Shanks night kill from the beginning and I don't think VM should be treated as clear. In my opinion he should be going around the same time as Willi does.

My take after rereading: Aksdal does post strategy and he makes some good points, but in the early going he didn't seem to focus on the main goals in a villager's existence: clearing fellow villagers and finding wolves. There's no "These guys are probably wolves and I'm going to tell you why." Instead we get something like, "In a game I played earlier, a wolf did this and here you are acting similarly (but I'm not going to try to get you lynched for it or mention it ever again)."

In the early going he mentioned being busy outside the game, which may explain his tone in part. And he has shown definite signs of improvement on that front.

Spartan pointed out that Aksdal at first suggested lynching outside Gad's seer claim. That isn't particularly suspicious to me. I considered floating the same possibility, so I can't fault him for that. The more suspicious part is when he changes his mind. I'd like him to explain why he did that.

On day one he voted for Timi, which is a point against him. On the other hand, he also posted this:

Several players used said emotional appeal as a reason/excuse to switch their votes away from HiFi, I have to give Aksdal some villager points for making fun of it. I don't know what to make of "Too hard to bold on phone".

While the above analysis doesn't exactly amount to a strong endorsement of Aksdal, I nevertheless think that there are better lynches available.
these posts are easily w/w

saying "i have no opinion on him because hes not a lynch" is a wolfy mindset. as long as someone is unclear, you always want more information.

People considering lynching Noah should keep in mind that he's had some extremely villagery moments in this game. I've earlier noted how he started the HiFi wagon when the Timi wagon was already running and Noah had expressed concerns about Timi.

Here's a more recent example. I believe this was posted shortly before Noah started receiving any serious heat:

Shanks peeks were VMF and DB villa right?

Imagine a world where DB is a wolf here. The shanks kill plus Supine's unexplained weirdness surrounding just about only DB, added to the fact that DB seems very villagery all around, make DB pretty much about as uber clear as Systolic and Mac right now.

But he's not mechanically cleared liked Mac and Systo are.

I haven't found it to go with this, but I remember I think seeing a post by DB that he's read some past games and that one of the ones he enjoyed the most was Rats. I've not read Rats, but I've talked about it briefly with Anarchist on Skype and he says that one of the beauties of that game was that they FPSed a NK to send Lorettawolf really deep as a SHC villager.

So if that is what is happening, DB is familiar with this having read it. He also seems like a really sharp, smart guy who is a super duper beginner in his first game, whatever his role here.

The other thing I thought about, and again, I haven't included the posts here, is that I remember reading several posts made by DB over the weekend where he references 'if I were to go deep...etc' like he's excited and ready for it.

Just putting my thoughts out there. Be kind guys if you're gonna shoot me down, my confidence is massively dented right now.
Wolves are supposed to cast doubt on cleared players, but not like this! I believe the following to be true:

1.) Noah is never getting DB mislynched there.
2.) DB is as strong of a candidate to make the final three as anyone.
3.) DB is inclined to conclude that people who call him wolfy are wolves.

It's inconceivable to me that a wolf Noah would bother to reread the thread in an attempt to build a case on DB, when any wolf dreaming of victory should clearly be buttering up the guy instead.

Or consider, if you will, last night's vote. Noah votes for Aksdal, but shortly before EOD, he posts:
