I see my evil twin Morliere has made an appearance in this game too.
Fitting that it was him who pulled the trigger since I never voted for Purge and cautioned against it the whole time.

This solves a multitude of problems for me.
Did it now?
Unagi has always been a problem for me. When I think he is a wolf, he is human. When he is human, I think he is a wolf. Today I was going to gun for him. I thought his first post was begging for it. The wolves just did me a favor. Only downside is if he was the Seer. This removed a distraction for me and gives us a better chance at winning from my perspective.

I'm sitting here wondering why Lassr hasn't just jumped into wanting me lynched first thing. I mean, he was the one guy in my last Wolf-win to constantly beg for folks to just lynch me... and no one ever did. I just feel like if roles were reversed, and I was playing with him this game, I'd have launched into some big "Please, lets just get him tested now..." but he didn't. And, well - as a wolf, I could see him/myself feeling like he shouldn't really do that... too bold a move for a wolf.
Maybe that should apply even more to Vorret? He would have EVERY REASON as a villager to just want me lynched (He guessed wrong at the very end of that game, and wrongly put his trust in me)... but I don't think he's calling for it.
Perhaps my analysis is too ego-centric.... but well, it's what comes to mind.
Unagi's only post of substance. This leads me to feel Unagi's killers may have a history with him.

and your post leads me to believe you are setting me up for a lynch. Which would not be a good thing for the village.
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
Also, I found it a bit odd that Unagi pointed fingers at two people based on previous games, why would I vote for him on day one simply because he was a wolf in the previous game? Makes no sense to me...
In any case, this is tricky, nobody actually voted for Unagi and the Purge vote was one of desperation... I might even go and say it's likely one if not both wolves may have avoided the train since keeping Purge alive was a huge advantage to them.

Sorry I haven't posted much, folks. Wife at 34 weeks with twins and now in the hospital overnight last night for observation, where she might be staying until the kids are born. Whew.
I can see Unagi using past games as a benchmark for behavior, that makes sense to me. However, I consider most folks on this board in these games pretty canny (or maybe I'm just slow), so it might not have allowed him to glean as much as we all would have liked.
RIP Unagi, your insights will definitely be missed.

Acck they got Unagi. Easy answer as to why...they feared him i figure. His reputation precedes himself in these games....soo figure they got the best wolf tracker out. WHo would do that? I need to look over his posts see what he had to say, but i think scoop hit that briefly. Didn't he say something else? Or am i thinking about something different. Thought there was another post on people. Meh, i'll dig through things. I kind of thought he was laying low and thought he could be our seer though. Just seemed un-unagi to me. But then again yesterday wasn't really that normal of a day...no real trains...well only one on purge...so there wasn't a widespread discussion on stuff.

While Unagi is worth killing for his wolf hunting skills alone, he did act like he had something to hide - e.g. Seer- or wolf-like.
So Scoop, I would probably have entertained the idea of supporting a Unagi-train.

There is most likely at least one wolf among them.
Well, not Unagi.
Of the remaining, I lean towards Scoop being a good guy currently. He's contributing in a real way (no guarantees ofc).
Vorret and Lassr were named in Unagi's post, so they naturally go up the suspect list.
Newcastle - no read.
Holman - no read.
Vorret - his writing is kind of "controlled" for lack of a better word. Vorret himself seemed nervous to me, and much too certain that purge was a villager.
Lassr - somewhat more detached than I would expect. For some reason his purge vote seemed out of character.
Let's go with Lassr

IMO. Signing up for these games isn't akin to accepting an invite to some big block party. This is more like a dinner party where you were bringing the booze. If you just don't show up, it's a real hit to the enjoyment of the whole thing.

Not likely. It is unfortunate to waste our first lynch in order to get rid of an absent villager.
I (as I am sure we all do) 2nd Newcastle concerns over Purge's real life situation...
And I don't want to just gloss over that.... I mean, we all have no clue what we are all going through in real life, etc. And Purge is a good fella.
...but while one would think that being assigned "Wolf" would get someone to really actually play, the last game I played in, I was partnered with an very awol-wolf in Purge.
So, while I agree it's probably not likely... I know for a fact that a wolf-assignment doesn't "get Purge to play".
Which, on some level is commendable. On some level.

All i could find on Unagi from his posting since the game started. Odd i thought he had another post. Ah well...must be me. I wasn't going to jump on a unagi train i was going to observe and see what he did, he seemed off...so was gonna let it play out.
The only people he mentions are vorret and lassr.....so the next question becomes....would those two as wolves...take out unagi because he's already sniffing at them? Or woudl they let it lie? OR was his death caused by his reputation? OR were the above two simple vilalgers set up for a frame job?
I'd like to hear more from Vorret & lassr i think.
oh withdraw warpig

Its just a threat. 100% chance he will show but absent villagers don't help us catch wolves either.
This post still bothers me a bit....even though....i think he misses the punctuation...when i read it initially it seems an absoloute certainty that purge will end up a villager.

Plus, it would suck to kill an active player vs one who isn't posting at all, villager or wolf
Killing Purge if we think he's an absent villager is worse than taking a shot at an active player. The wolves are more likely to be among the actives so I would rather aim my noose in that direction to mix my metaphors.

All throughout the day Moliere was arguing that he thought Purge was a simple villager. In the end he was correct, but he had a certainty to it. Granted, it's a decent hunch..but we all know nothing at this point. I dont mind that he was arguing for not lynching purge...that's cool...but as a wolf would you put that out....i guess what i am trying to say his posts bother me.

Why? By lynching Purge the wolves got a free day to avoid being lynched and a night kill. If the village had focused on the active players then we would have had a shot at a wolf instead of killing Purge for the sole reason that he was absent.

True, but, let's say we lynched someone else on day 1 just to give Purge some more time (let's say me for the sake of the argument). What would happen on day 2 if Purge stayed AWOL?
You can bet we'd be right there lynching Purge, that would have been a freebie and on day one it's easy to point the vote in one direction all it takes is one little out of context sentence and people are ready to pounce on you.

If we could be assured that Purge would show up and play, then waiting would have been preferred but that is not the case. So I prefer getting rid of him day one especially since we started with a day cycle. It is essentially turned out like we started with a night cycle with the Unagi death and this really being day one. We might could learn something from the Purge train but what? We really won't know until after the fact if there was any clue there.

These defenses of Purge were also being posted at a time when a lynch on the silent AWOL was already all but certain. It seems very performative somehow.

I agree 100% with you on that, that's why I'm saying a wolf would want us NOT to lynch him and instead get us to lynch another villager, buying them an extra day.
The only logical play was to nuke Purge and as you say, play it as if this was day with some extra bits of info.
