The key is that the both need to jump ship if they’re going to, right? And timing matters.
Right now it’s 2-2, Beau and Spooky. Assuming Spooky votes for Beau (and doesn’t influence one of the others), then they’d both have to, in order to make it 4-3. Hypothetically just one of them could, and then Spooky would break the tie, but if just one of them is, then the other one is… really playing with fire?
There’s not really a good reason for Ash to vote here, independently. If Todah votes first and votes you, Ash can stay off the hook. If Todah votes first and votes Spooky, Ash can make a choice. If Spooky influences, then Ash is covered either way, because there will be more compelling targets in the next forum.
Ash/Todah – do either of you have a strong preference right now? I’m just trying to play it out in my head. Right now, Spooky can influence either of you, and once he does that 4 on Beau.
That means the next forum looks like this for eligibility: Nettie, Viola, Spooky, whichever of you two he goes after.
You’d both have to vote against Spooky for him to leave, and though he’s the high card, he’s been reliably helping the Mourning Aw Wells! so I don’t seen any reason for him to leave now over Beau. Todah is right behind him influence-wise, and Beau is the next one after that. Seems like good bet to go Beau here. Viola is still lined up next, if we want that too.
Sorry, just trying to look at it from the wider angle. It just looks really hard to send Spooky home here. A shot at Todah would probably have made more sense from your perspective, since he’s higher influence (like Spooky), but has less ability to influence (he can’t on either Spooky or Ash).
It had just started and Ash asked for tomorrow. I didn’t even have the chance to respond once it got busy. I figured silence meant I couldn’t do another day, though.
Of that group, 1 has the highest card left. But influence only lasts 1 round after that, and it’s already been used twice, right? And Todah’s has been used once? So he’s actually got more sway in some ways than Spooky does? And also he can be voted out.
I’m perfectly fine with Annette’s request to not go over the weekend, because I really wasn’t looking forward to being stuck to my phone all weekend, anyway.
Unless anyone else has drastic reservations about playing on Monday (I think you just killed the one person who did), we’ll reconvene on Monday at 9am.
In the meantime, be good Romans and plot each other’s demise publicly.
So if Spooky has used all his influences that effectively makes Todah the high card (except for tie breaks). He also can’t be voted for on Monday and still holds the wine. In short, Todah is the player we should be hearing from on what he wants to do so that we can all consider plans to appease and/or oppose.
An argument can be made for any and all, but surely you see that everyone has noticed you and Viola are both still in there and have never worked against each other before? Would there be any chance you promote Viola as a target once we reach five?
Oh, no no. No one wants to frame you. It’s just that the Aw Wells! have been supremely effective, which is why eventually we’ll have to eat our own. Really, your tireless efforts in support of the alliance have been uniquely to thank. Your dominant performance, your high influence, and your still having of the wine, while not being able to be voted for… simply a master stroke. No framing going on here at all.
Viola and I vote Bea
Beau
We’re waiting on Viola’s acceptance of this influence.
Decline
Nettie’s card is #11, Nero
Influence successful.
Right. What he said.
Novak and I vote Spookymilk
vote does not count.
abort, retry, fail?
This is intense!!!
vote Ash
I saw you vote Spooky in the other thread.
You’re welcome
wait I thought you were influenced by annette?
I was. You’re not voted for….yet.
She was. This was a “too slow” vote that didn’t get counted.
Ah. right. ok.
On with the show!
Matt and I vote Spookymilk
Can I reject, on principle?
Can I accept, on principle?
Influence successful.
Whelp, sealed my fate there. It’s been fun everyone.
Ah, nevermind, the vote for Ash doesn’t count.
Maybe Todah or Ash want to jump ship at this point? They both can see that you didn’t target them.
The key is that the both need to jump ship if they’re going to, right? And timing matters.
Right now it’s 2-2, Beau and Spooky. Assuming Spooky votes for Beau (and doesn’t influence one of the others), then they’d both have to, in order to make it 4-3. Hypothetically just one of them could, and then Spooky would break the tie, but if just one of them is, then the other one is… really playing with fire?
You’re correct. Replace my or with an and in my previous comment.
So…todah and ash get to decide if they want to off me or spooky.
Where the hell is Spooky and Todashy?
Work maybe?
You going to vote or allow yourself to be influenced?
There’s not really a good reason for Ash to vote here, independently. If Todah votes first and votes you, Ash can stay off the hook. If Todah votes first and votes Spooky, Ash can make a choice. If Spooky influences, then Ash is covered either way, because there will be more compelling targets in the next forum.
Good point.

Not a good point

Yeah, I honestly didn’t have much time to consider all the ins and outs of my decision before I made it. Thought I would have to hurry with my vote.
Did we seriously start a day without everyone even knowing? I’m working, and busy.
Seriously, I had plans I literally had no idea I needed to enact yet.
Did you miss the discussion this morning?
It had just started and Ash asked for tomorrow. I didn’t even have the chance to respond once it got busy. I figured silence meant I couldn’t do another day, though.
I….am going to have to cancel the “Moderator of the Year” mug order from Spencer’s Gifts. Sorry about that.
Ash and I vote Beau
I decline this death.
Nice try
We should talk about tomorrow.
And I mean game tomorrow, because I absolutely don’t want to try to play over the weekend.
There’s 6 of us left.
Monday we’re looking at:
Viola
Spooky
Ash
Nettie
Of that group, only 1 is not a Mourning Ah Wells!
Of that group, 1 has the highest card left. But influence only lasts 1 round after that, and it’s already been used twice, right? And Todah’s has been used once? So he’s actually got more sway in some ways than Spooky does? And also he can be voted out.
What did you want to talk about?
I have no influence left. My card can be forgotten.
Then yes, it can. Who else did you influence?
Schapp, Beau, Ash.
All those things.
Beau is dead. He was the angel.
I’m perfectly fine with Annette’s request to not go over the weekend, because I really wasn’t looking forward to being stuck to my phone all weekend, anyway.
Unless anyone else has drastic reservations about playing on Monday (I think you just killed the one person who did), we’ll reconvene on Monday at 9am.

In short, Todah is the player we should be hearing from on what he wants to do so that we can all consider plans to appease and/or oppose.
We can easily take out Viola this next round, but that may not be the best option. An argument can be made to take out Ash, as well.
I’d think Ash might make an argument for someone else too?
I only bring it up because Viola can’t influence anyone and Ash still can. As well as Ash not being very quick to help the alliance.
It’s definitely a compelling argument.
An argument can be made for any and all, but surely you see that everyone has noticed you and Viola are both still in there and have never worked against each other before? Would there be any chance you promote Viola as a target once we reach five?
I think either of us would do so.
Possible, of course, but as yet has never come up, which is all I’m saying.
Not completely true, either. Pretty sure we’ve worked against each other in Werewolf several times.
I’m the one who made sure she’s available for tomorrow. And if we decide that’s the best option, I absolutely will.
Should we just do another forum right now so you can prove it?
If you can get Ashton, Annette, Todah, and Viola on board, I’m fine with it.
Sure.
Eh, I leave work in about 30 minutes and won’t be checking in too much after that. I’m not even on board, was just a joke.
I had more fun with my last alliance. DG, Beau… COME BACK!! I miss you. This game was a lot more fun with you guys in it.
Sure. I’m fine with that.
Oh I just got out of my game… Oh wow a lot happened.
I didn’t realize we were playing Turbo Fall Caesar
Oh and I see how I’m trying to be framed as a power player to set me up for the kill. What happened to the Morning Aw’ells?!
I killed DG for you!!
Calm down; no one is trying to kill you . . . today.
I saved YOU!
Shouldn’t you be proud of my character growth?
I admit to being surprised that you did.
I am impressed legit, todah.
Oh, no no. No one wants to frame you. It’s just that the Aw Wells! have been supremely effective, which is why eventually we’ll have to eat our own.
