Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXVI - Úcenite Valto - Planning and Discussion Thread

[the phantom]

Oh! I completely forgot! There's something else that I considered doing the final day. As a matter of fact, I wrote up an opening day post and saved it to pull out when the day started. But because of timing I ended up not using it.

I almost posted this-

**********

Mwu ha ha ha! I have survived to the final day with a WW still alive! My victory is at hand!

When speaking before the game, the Dark Lady and I discussed the possibility of giving me a role. We agreed that it would be too risky to make me a WW. Neither of us expected me to last long.

So, we decided that I could be a secret Cobbler, just for fun. Little did we know that I would be around at the end to play a major part in winning the game for the WWs.

Yes, that's right- I'm the COBBLER!! And through honeyed words, force of will, and brilliant positioning, I have managed to survive the slaughter.

I don't know which of you is the WW, but you've done a brilliant job seeing as I can't tell. Vote for me and the journey is over!

Mwu ha ha ha!! Werewolves win!!

Fea- thanks for inviting me to participate in this village. I'm very glad now that I did.

Originally I drew up that plan to catch a MithWolf or SPWolf. I was going to cross my fingers and hope that the WW would jump on my self vote to "win the game", and then I'd step in and declare my vote invalid and vote for the WW. I thought it was a great plan. Unfortunately because the day started at a different time I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get to a computer to pull off the plan, so I cancelled it.

But since we now know that there was no WW, I'm curious... SPM and Mith- think back for me. What would you have done if I had posted that and seemingly cast a final vote on myself?

Logically with a self-vote I would negate the chance of anyone else getting lynched over me as it would require another self-vote. The best thing that could happen would be a three-way tie in which I would be included in a two-way coin flip.

Quite obviously a WW would never do that. You would be convinced, I think, that I was not a WW at that point, am I right?

My move would also be stupid as an innocent as it would guarantee WW victory, so you would believe that I wasn't an innocent either, correct?

So, I can only assume that you would believe my Cobbler claim, and believe that the game then belonged to the other person. Would you then have, in an effort to at least vote the right way yourself, voted for the other person, resulting in a three-way tie, and just assumed that the other person was messing with you and would change their vote to ++tp at the last moment?

If so, that would've left me wide open to pop in and use my invalid vote plan and kill one of you.

That would've been fun.
