Athena March 24, 2015 Share March 24, 2015 I was too late for the last round of lynches, but here goes: 3 to DL Hanged Man (photo fox, Drogo, Athena), 7 to become dragon food. 3 Link to comment
TJtrack99 March 24, 2015 Share March 24, 2015 Lisin - Davos (House words: Unknown), Villain Baratheon, Protector: You are Lord Davos Seaworth, aka the Onion Knight, This is a great nickname. If you leave him out in the sun, does he turn brown and start sprouting little white hairs? Oh right. Focus. The fact that it specifies "Villain Baratheon", and it appears the Lannisters tried to kill somebody last night, is interesting. I think Dougal is on the right track - we played a game a while ago (I think it was the "film noir" round) with separate Villain teams, so that could be what's going on here. And Dany/the dragons could be a SK or vigilante. Based on the story, she seems to want to rule on her own (which makes me lean towards SK), but I guess we'll be able to tell if she doesn't kill anybody on Night 2. Googled Still Standing, got nothin' There's the Elton John song "I'm Still Standing" but I don't see anything there to connect to anyone. I suppose Davos trying to convince Stannis to change his mind about attacking could be a clue for caprice, but that seems like a stretch. I think the clues for HM are good. But we should try to maximize the time discussing clues. So I'll wait a bit before voting. 3 Link to comment
SVNBob March 24, 2015 Share March 24, 2015 (edited) It made sense to me last round, and still does. 4 to DL Hanged Man (photo fox, Drogo, Athena, SVNBob), 6 to avoid becoming dragon food. Edited March 24, 2015 by SVNBob 2 Link to comment
caprice March 24, 2015 Share March 24, 2015 Clues against Hanged Man: Also, reassons. ;-) So, while I like the clues against JayKay, and I don't want to shut down coversation, I'm going to go ahead and start a David Lynch on Hanged Man... 1 to DL Hanged Man (photo fox), 9 to ride forth in victory And yet... that's exactly what's happening. Seriously, we have most of the 48 hours to discuss anything that might be in the Night story as well as the most recent one. I'm not saying there isn't a valid argument here and it probably is accurate. However, once we complete a lynch, that's it. There's no more Day. To resume discussion, I'm going to have to disagree with: "Day Two: I make these men kill themselves building warships" From the tone of the story, it sounds like someone is desperate to build warships and is trying to hurry people toward a difficult goal. Killing oneself toward a goal is a common phrase. 1 Link to comment

photo fox March 24, 2015 Share March 24, 2015 Valid point, caprice, and I'm not pushing anyone to rush to vote. I just missed so many in the Mad Men round that I'm trying to avoid that this time, and maybe I'm being a bit impetuous. I don't know enough about GoT to be much good at finding clues in the stories, so hopefully others will jump in. 1 Link to comment

I don't know enough about GoT to be much good at finding clues in the stories, so hopefully others will jump in. I see where you're coming from and I agree with your intentions. We have plenty of time to start a lynch and that's why I was surprised to see one up already. Game history follows that once a lynch is started, votes fly in and all discussion stops. I'm with you on being lost about clues, photo fox, so I really need to have people keep talking about things that they see in the stories. 2 Link to comment
formerlyfreedom March 24, 2015 Share March 24, 2015 That's a lot to digest over lunch hour, y'all. Wow. I'm not ready to cast a vote for DL quite yet, mostly because we do have some time left, over 30 hours by my count. I do agree with some of the suspect phrases that have come up, especially the braying mule and the 'whiny backside' in the Night story. I will be picking over all the posts after work this evening. At this point, I'd say Hanged Man seems quite the likeliest to be a Villain, but we have some time before we have to commit. 3 Link to comment

Oinky Boinky March 24, 2015 Share March 24, 2015 I agree we should wait a bit for the DL for.discussion purposes. Photo initiated the DL on hangman pretty fast. Thinking that was to save himself is too obvious. I think more likely to save the next most in danger>>Jessie112. 1 Link to comment
Athena March 24, 2015 Share March 24, 2015 Photo Fox is a lady. I updated the above post to have our final player count with genders using the asterisk*. This way we can easily have access to the gender chart. I still have my eye on Jessie, but I see some clues with HM. We also had like four lynches going on last day and even being a bit late, I didn't want to again for today. 3 Link to comment
JayKay March 24, 2015 Share March 24, 2015 I actually like the JayKay clues, but it's me, unfortunately. I'm a hero by GoT standards and within this game, though. I don't think pointing at me necessarily means anyone's evil, because I picked up on them too. But you better not be evil. The Hanged Man clues are interesting but I don't know if they mean anything in a game this brutal. Worth keeping an eye on. I won't be able to re-read anything until tonight, so in the meantime I'm just going to be intensely jealous over the possibility that one of you might be a dragon. 4 Link to comment
writingdreamer March 24, 2015 Share March 24, 2015 I too want to hold off a bit before joining the DL, simply because I'm not 100% sure of the possible clues. I tend to follow the stories more anyway, but I do agree that Dany seems to be either a vigilante or SK, and was targeting whoever Stannis is, which probably means he/she knows who plays him. Maybe Dany's an investigator instead, and someone else is playing the dragon? I also like that there's not totally "good" or "bad" characters, they all have their weaknesses or flaws, makes it more challenging to determine if they're Heroes or Villains? 1 Link to comment
Drogo March 24, 2015 Share March 24, 2015 (edited) Photo initiated the DL on hangman pretty fast. Thinking that was to save himself is too obvious. I think more likely to save the next most in danger>>Jessie112. I don't know anything about anything, but I don't think the Hangman DL is a product of preservation so much as an attempt to avoid another actionless Day when it seems there are serial killers, vigilantes and freakin' dragons not wasting any time.

Machiabelly March 24, 2015 Share March 24, 2015 Someone mentioned wildfire burning boats and not in the forest. That is story. Wildfire is kind of a magical Greek Fire that was used to decimate the armada referred to. I like the Hangmanhang, but would like to re-read. I would not read too much into the dragon getting a major character. It could be blind luck, it could also be that no matter who it was, some of us would consider them a major character. I agree there may be two tribes of villains each with their own victory list. Just killing all the heroes may not be enough. And finally I think we have a two kill, or some equivalent of a doctor or bodyguard. That poisoning looked like a possible death as well. 3 Link to comment
The Crazed Spruce March 24, 2015 Share March 24, 2015 So there are Vigilantes, Serial Killers, Villains, Bodyguards, Heroes, Heroes with 2 lives, Investigators... what other classes am I missing?There are also "time bombs" (who automatically kill the people who kill them or either start or finish a vote against them) and mediums (who receive messages from deceased players). Probably a few others I'm not recalling off-hand. My take on last night was that the dragon (likely commanded by Daneris) was the serial killer, and they just happened to target a villain. I also figure that the hero that the villains targeted was either a two-kill, or they were protected last night. Either way, we got lucky last night. I was gonna let the discussion play out a bit, but I've got to work a 12-hour shift tonight, so I'm getting my vote out of the way now. And while I'm in favour of not killing anyone off in the first day, we can't really afford to go two days without voting somebody off. And photo fox's reasoning seems as sound as anyone's, so.... 5 to DL Hanged Man (photo fox, Drogo, Athena, SVNBob, Spruce), 5 to defend the wall. 2 Link to comment

Oinky Boinky March 24, 2015 Share March 24, 2015 Sorry Jessie and thank you for fixing that. It has to do with the purring clues. That and the whiny ass which I can't connect anyone to, is all I've got. The other reasons have nothing to do with you. Link to comment

I've known from the beginning that I might be not long for this world. I need to get my hits in early. Someone mentioned wildfire burning boats and not in the forest. There does seem to be a lot of boat talk. Is that just story?

I also figure that the hero that the villains targeted was either a two-kill, or they were protected last night. Either way, we got lucky last night. That's my take as well. Or that we have two opposing families of villains? 1 Link to comment
Drogo March 25, 2015 Share March 25, 2015 That and the whiny ass which I can't connect anyone to, is all I've got. I could name 60 people off the top of my head to connect the words "whiny ass" to, Oinky - so consider yourself lucky. ;) There does seem to be a lot of boat talk. Is that just story? Boats/wildfire are connected with actual Dragonstone story- most of an entire fleet was taken out using one flaming arrow and a combustible substance on the surface the water. A pretty epic scene. If I get hanged is it irony, coincidence or self-fulfilling prophecy? I mean, it's not like rai-ee-ain on your wedding day or a free ride when you've already paid, but... ironic. 2 Link to comment

JayKay March 25, 2015 Share March 25, 2015 Alright, I found one thing that hadn't already been analyzed. Night 1: "Someday I will stab my sword through your eye and into your skull." This is a weirdly specific threat. It sounds similar to an icepick lobotomy, and wikipedia says that the transorbital lobotomy was simplified by Walter Freeman but first performed by an Italian psychiatrist named Amarro Fiamberti. It's not the strongest clue, but lobotomies freak me out and I'm not googling them any further. 3 Link to comment
TMunz March 25, 2015 Share March 25, 2015 We did not discuss the potential clues during the night story.

MarkHB March 25, 2015 Share March 25, 2015 If the "tinker" is meant to be a clue, the full text of the rhyme that was alluded to i shere; maybe "sailor" points to Dougal?. Also, in the book and movie Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, the lead character is George Smiley... but we have far too many players with the default smiley avatar for that to be a clue. None of the other characters in the WP page jumped out at me. Now, if anyone has a NON-default smiley for an avatar, that's another question :) . In the meantime, and trusting photo fox and her "reassons", 8 to DL Hanged Man (photo fox, Drogo, Athena, SVNBob, Spruce, jessied112,TMunz, MarkHB), 2 to see how long it takes for the blood to rush to one's head while wearing gravity boots1 to DL jessied112 (Oinky Boinky), 9 to bay at the moon until it snarls back 2 Link to comment
