#2485
Initially, I want to apologize for the delay, I had a church obligation tonight that started earlier than I anticipated. Thank you for not dropping the hammer. It would have been very bad if we miss-lynched.
I also want to apologize for this post. It is going to be a beast to read. I'm sorry. I've tried hard to split it into chunks, but the fact is is that each of my points is very important and it would behoove you to read all of it.
Very interesting update. I’m going to analyze it myself, then go on to my thoughts on posts from today.
Laboratory: A woman in a black jacket, with long blonde hair entered
Napoleon.
Also in the room, a man leaned against the wall, checking his weapon’s charge, waiting for a chance to use it.
Pikajew1213
Another man was also in the room, but he was invisible to all. He wore active camouflage, and was waiting for someone, someone specific to enter the room.
King Piplup
Someone did enter the room, but did not provoke a reaction from the camouflaged man.
WOLF
Hangar:
Two men were meditating, but on different things. One sat atop some debris, facing the blue transparent shield that separated the hangar from space.
SS7
The other sat into the corner, watching something distant.
Cardzmaster2004
A red and blue Pokémon was standing around when it suddenly perked up, looked around, its eyes glowed blue, and it disappeared an instant later.
thunderjolt
A man in heavy armor, with a large weapon walked around, looking bored.
PCPB
Another man was also standing around, seemingly minding his own business
Dragonclyne725 when he was approached by a yellow Pokémon.
JewelQuest The Pokémon wasted no time with introduction and proceeded to shock the man with a powerful electrical attack.
Another man watched these events unfold, but did not intervene.
Scottistru
This update is for a town with 10 people. There are 11 roles noted in this update.
Therefore, there is at least one doubling.
Thoughts on posts:
Scottistru (2468) ~ That is what my role seemed to say. He was telling the truth about something.
King Piplup (2469) ~ What are the specifics you learned? From the update, it is written ambiguously. The Imperial entered the Laboratory in armor and helmet. You might have missed DC725 if he was the imperial.
PCPB (2470) ~ I’m not sure. I like the analysis, but I don’t think that Scott is the only possibility of the Imperial.
Dragonclyne725 (2471) ~ As I expected. I’ll get to you in a bit.
PCPB (2473) ~ As I thought. I thought you were acting strange. I’m glad you have realized this. I did not want to kill you.
Scottistru (2474) ~ I’m not sure. I’m going to have to do more thinking and get back to you. I do believe you are the datapad man. That doesn’t negate you from being an Imperial. I think I still agree about the role swap. That is fact.
I also think that you are the final “another man” in the update. That would make sense.
JewelQuest (2477) ~ Thank you for that information.
Initial thoughts:
1) TAKE IT SLOW, GUYS
We’ve got time, let us use it.
2) Analyze what people have said, not just what happens in the updates.
I don’t know how much I have to emphasize this, but seriously: What people are saying, in addition to how that information plays into the updates logically.
Now, to get down to the nitty-gritty.
There are 8 players left. 1 Wolf. 0-1 Sith.
Why do I say there might be no more Sith? A few reasons.
- No Sith acted last night. There were no lightsaber fights, nor were there tattooings. This is also upheld by the fact that the tattoos disappeared after Gallade died.
- The numbers sketchily add up with there was 2 Sith to begin with.
- Jewelquest targeted DC725 (a not-Sith), thereby not blocking available Sith actions that would have been seen during the update.
Why do I say there might be one more Sith?
- The numbers would add up if there was one more. I don’t see how Princess Leia fought against the Jedi while at the same time protecting Lucario from the Sith.
- thunderjolt has been acting strangely the past 2 nights. Though this could be explained if he is an indie too.
Regardless, we have no discrete evidence right now for the Sith’s continued existence. Therefore, I’m going to move that we focus on the final wolf.
Therefore, we should turn our attention to the three wolf possibilities: Dragonclyne725, King Piplup, and Scottistru.
Reasons for Dragonclyne725:
- Claiming to be Lance, when the Night 1 update seems to show Lance killed (Diaz)
- Claiming to have a very weird role that is completely dissimilar to Napoleon’s, as revealed last night.
- Having Pokémon, as claimed by Scottistru, but yet claims to have lost the role that allowed him to gain his Pokémon back.
- Claimed to be the same person in the Night 9 update as King Piplup. The only unclaimed role that night was the Imperial.
- The only unclaimed role Night 8 was the Imperial, every other player was accounted for.
- Claimed to be protected by PF5 (known wolf and proven liar) during a Night where his presence was not missing.
- The wolf killed Napoleon.
Reasons for King Piplup:
- Claimed to be the same person as Dragonclyne725 in Night 9.
- Claimed to be in the Laboratory in Night 11.
Reasons for Scottistru:
- Role is very ambiguous, though has claimed Seer qualities.
- Immediately voted for DC725
Those lists are very lopsided. For good reason.
So far, we’ve had the possibilities flip-flop from DC725/KP to DC725/Scottistru. I’m going to outline why I think that Dragonclyne725 is the final wolf. Now that the Sith are *most likely* out of the picture I can go full out and get this last wolf.
Dragonclyne725: You’ve played pretty well. The early game was phenomenal. 0 suspicion what so ever. But, I think you are the last wolf.
Reason 1:
Night 1 Shenanigans. Clearly this game was not going to be a normal game, given that the first and only Wolf kill during Night 1 was Diaz. A wolf. OR WAS IT?
There is NO logical reason that the wolves would have killed one of their own. NO REASON WHATSOEVER. ESPECIALLY since there was no role-based reason for it. The fact that when Diaz died he flipped a Vanilla Wolf is clearly something that was shenanigans.
There have been NO vanilla roles this entire game. So:
- Diaz’ role is inconsistent with the game as a whole.
- Diaz’ role is inconsistent with any reason for the wolves to kill him.
The fact that Diaz flipped a Vanilla Wolf shows 2 things: This was not an intentional Wolf/Wolf kill. This was a role-swap effect.
If Diaz was a townie, but got role-swapped, then what role would he have had before the swap?
There is one answer to this question. Lance.
2 trainers are shown to begin to duel during the Night 1 update. These 2 trainers are clearly Cynthia and Lance. This makes sense intrinsically. This Lance character, however, disappears completely and is replaced by a
Vanilla Wolf. The update is pretty clear that the trainer that faced off with Cynthia is the one that died. It is also clear that there is no text in Diaz’ “role” that supports any of the things that he was doing that night. No mention of Poké Balls. No mention of betraying the Empire.
Therefore. We can know with almost assuredly that Diaz was NOT a wolf. We can also know that he was role-swapped. Finally, we can know that he was most probably Lance. This can be deduced from the Night 1 update almost explicitly (minus Cynthia’s role reveal Night 11).
So.
Diaz was Lance. I am near 100% sure of this. Similarly I am near 100% sure that he was NOT a wolf, and almost 100% that he was role swapped.
(1) Does anyone have questions about this deduction? I feel that this is a key point for understanding the identity of the final Wolf
Where does this leave us? If Lance is already claimed, then what happens to Dragonclyne725? What is going on with him?
Reason 2:
DC725’s play has been internally, but not
externally, consistent.
DC725 has claimed to be Lance for days now (back to when he replied the letter “L” to jellyfisher’s query to his identity back during day 6-7).
I didn’t let on to this, but I had instant suspicions that he was claiming to be Lance right then. Unfortunately when you’ve got 2 anti-town groups you have to be WAY vague and avoid going after one or the other with determined vigor so you don’t draw either of their ire. But now is not that time.
But wait. Diaz was Lance! Yet DC725 is claiming to be Lance! What does this mean? We must look at the evidence and ask: Will the real Lance please stand up!
Reasons for Diaz:
- Shown to be antagonistic with Cynthia (as Lance would)
- Releases Pokémon (as Lance would)
- Is killed by the Empire
- All of the Pokémon (Altaria, Garchomp, Gyarados, Dragonite, Salamence, Charizard) dropped from him when he dies.
Reasons against Diaz:
1. Role revealed to be vanilla wolf.
Reasons for DC725:
- Didn’t lie when talking about his role reveal (from my investigation).
- Investigated by Scott as Lance (Red hair and Pokémon)
- Shown to be in the Hangar by JewelQuest.
Reasons against DC725:
- Claims a Pokémon Trainer role that is nowhere near Cynthia’s.
- Claimed the same person as King Piplup during Night 9 (meaning he doesn’t know who he is in the update, or is reticent of revealing his character).
Which of these players is “telling the truth?”
Based on the evidence we have?
BOTH OF THEM.
As we’ve discussed: there is a
high probability of a Role-Swap. This isn’t based in anything related to Dragonclyne, but INTRINSICALLY due to the massive shenanigans surrounding Diaz himself ALONE. Just by the pure nature of Diaz’s role-flip, we can deduce the likelihood of a Role-Swap without having to bring DC725 into the picture.
The fact that we have DC725 IN the picture, with his truthiness, greatly supports a Role-Swap even more.
(2) Any more questions so far?
Thus, we’ve deduced that
- Based on Diaz Night 1, a Role-Swap is highly likely.
- The logical evidence is shown by DC725, making the Role-Swap nigh proven at this point.
Reason 3:
Now what? If Diaz (Lance) was role-swapped to DC725, then what did Diaz receive in place of Lance? A WOLF role.
So, that means that DC725 must have role-swapped a WOLF role to Diaz in place of the Lance role. Both of these points are proven based on the updates. Diaz flipped vanilla Wolf and DC725 has been shown through multiple sources to be Lance.
Deduction list:
- Based on Night 1, a Role-Swap is highly likely.
- The logical evidence is shown by DC725, making the Role-Swap nigh proven at this point.
- DC725 swapped a Wolf role to Diaz in trade for the Lance role.
So, now we’ve worked through about half of my points against DC725. The next half are more deduction based on what DC725 has said, coupled with the role returns we’ve gotten from him.
Reason 4:
First in my second chain of points: The awkwardness with which PF5 and DC725 regarded each other. PF5 was known to be a Wolf since Redados1’s energymite. Therefore he was proven scum. This means everything he says must be regarded with high suspicion. His first role claim was a complete fabrication, as proven by his second role claim and the role that was flipped.
Let us investigate his claims.
He claims to have protected Napoleon Night 8. Is this borne out with evidence in the update? Most definitely. Napoleon was completely missing from the update.
He claims to have protected DC725 Night 9. He also says this proves that DC725 is Lance/town because of his role and other such stuff. Is this borne out with evidence in the update? NO.
- DC725 had no idea he was “protected”
- There were no missing characters in the update as there was when Napoleon was protected.
- (And most condemning of all) PF5 only had ONE protect usage in his role. (see here for his role and the proof.)
His claim that he protected DC725? A complete lie.
PF5 also claimed he was the last wolf. Also a complete lie.
Why would PF5 claim that he was the last wolf when he wasn’t? To protect the final wolf, for obvious reasons. In his failed gambit, he tries to deflect suspicion off of DC725 with his “protection” claim. Why would he lie about protecting a townie? He wouldn’t. A wolf doesn’t try to clear opposing players. Wolves try to obfuscate and shroud in fog the evidence so that there is more diffuse suspicion on more players, rather than intense scrutiny on one or two players.
The ONLY reason for PF5 to claim that he was the last wolf and to try to shield another player is if that player was the other Wolf.
Therefore: PF5 claiming to be the last wolf (a lie), claiming to have protected DC725 (another lie), and claiming that DC725 was town (Probably a lie) lead me to another line of reasoning towards DC725 being the final wolf.
To summarize my argument at this point:
- Diaz’ role shenanigans lead to the obvious conclusion that a Role-Swap occurred [*]The only logical and obvious culprit is DC725. [*]DC725 swapped a Wolf role to Diaz in trade for the Lance role. [*]PF5’s clearly lying shielding of DC725 (in each of the three counts he tried) point suspiciously to DC725.
Reason 5:
DC725’s role that he “revealed” is so outlandish I immediately investigated it. I knew that Red/Blue were written completely differently, and now with the revelation of Cynthia’s role it is clear that Lance having such a random selection of powers is highly irregular for a Pokémon Trainer.
The 2 roles that you say Absol gave you are completely awkward and don’t mesh with the rest of what we know about antagonistic Pokémon Trainers (see XII/KP’s analysis of roles). You mention nothing about antagonism in your role, yet Cynthia’s role CLEARLY states that she is antagonistic to you. Cynthia was also clearly antagonistic to Diaz during the Night 1 update.
Another issue is the fact that after Diaz died and dropped “your” Pokémon, you claim that “Absol told you to drop that role.” This makes NO SENSE. WW Mods prepare for almost every instance, and that such likely scenario escaped his eye does not sit well with everything else. You losing that role doesn’t fit with the game, nor does it fit with the roles that Lance would have.
Your second role is still
way outside what Pokémon Trainers are given.
Moar summarization
- Diaz’ role shenanigans lead to the obvious conclusion that a Role-Swap occurred
- The only logical and obvious culprit is DC725.
- DC725 swapped a Wolf role to Diaz in trade for the Lance role.
- PF5’s clearly lying shielding of DC725 (in each of the three counts he tried) point suspiciously to DC725.
- DC725’s role claim does not jive with Napoleon’s revealed role, Red/Blue from WW XII, nor logic in the loss of role #1.
Reason 6:
In 3 of the past 4 nights, we’ve had seemingly perfect attendance by the players involved. As my internal excel based analysis shows, there is 1 unclaimed role in each of those nights. The Imperial. It is highly unlikely that one of us went “OFF RADAR” for each of those nights while another player doubled up on Wolf/non-Wolf duties. DC725 is the only unclaimed player in each of those nights.
Followed by
Reason 7:
Night 11 we see the Wolf/Imperial in the Laboratory, then we have a doubled role in the Hangar. It is PROVEN FACT (Dark Gardevoir and others) that the Wolves hide in other rooms after they kill. Just because DC725 was seen in the hangar (AFTER THE LABORATORY INCIDENT) does not mean he couldn’t change or have a cloaking/hologram field in place. (i.e. Faking having Poké Balls as Scottistru says) during his time in the Hangar. (see Darth Pikachu in Night 3 update where he uses holograms to cover over his black suit.)
SUMMARY: GO!
- Diaz’ role shenanigans lead to the obvious conclusion that a Role-Swap occurred
- The only logical and obvious culprit is DC725.
- DC725 swapped a Wolf role to Diaz in trade for the Lance role.
- PF5’s clearly lying shielding of DC725 (in each of the three counts he tried) point suspiciously to DC725.
- DC725’s role claim does not jive with Napoleon’s revealed role, Red/Blue from WW XII, nor logic in the loss of role #1.
- The Imperial and DC725 are the only unclaims on the list of players/roles in Night 8-10, where we had perfect attendance.
- Wolves can hide after the kill, so he is not protected by your sightings in the Hangar.
Finally, we reach the culmination of my argument,
Reason 8:
NAPOLEON WAS THE WOLF NIGHT 11 KILL
Why is that such a big issue? For a few reasons.
As Scott and I discussed earlier, our argument was the focus of the game yesterday. In one of my last posts, I told Napoleon to kill DC725. I made it explicitly clear in my post that I could not hurt DC725 in any way. I also subtly focused all of the potential danger onto the broad (dainty?) shoulders of Napoleon. If DC725 was a wolf, he would HAVE to kill Napoleon to have a strong chance at surviving the rest of the game and winning. DC725’s ONLY target HAD to be Napoleon. Napoleon was the
primary threat Night 11 to DC725.
Now I could ret-con and say I planned for both of these points to benefit me, but that would be a lie. The first was part of my plan, but it was only after I saw Napoleon die that I thought of the second point.
Point 1
- If DC725 was a Wolf: He would HAVE to kill Napoleon last night. If he didn’t, then the chances of dying at Napoleon’s hand would determine whether he would win or lose the game. No one wants a game to come down to (effectively) a coin flip.
- If DC725 was NOT a Wolf: The Wolf would target Not-Napoleon with his Kill and let Napoleon eliminate another townie, reducing the village count to 7.
Point 2
If Napoleon DID die, then we’d have concrete evidence to the role of a Pokémon Trainer, and be able to see whether Absol had stuck to his Red/Blue archetype.
Summarizing the above points succinctly; I directed Napoleon towards targeting DC725. As a Wolf, DC725 would be obligated to kill Napoleon to have a strong chance of surviving and winning. If DC725 wasn’t the wolf, then the wolf would have let DC725 die and get a 2-for-1 Night, letting Napoleon live.
Napoleon died, so therefore DC725 is extremely likely to be a wolf.
Napoleon died, so his role disproves the role that DC725 claimed “Lance” had.
My Final Argument
- Diaz’ role shenanigans lead to the obvious conclusion that a Role-Swap occurred
- The only logical and obvious culprit is DC725. [*]DC725 swapped a Wolf role to Diaz in trade for the Lance role.
- PF5's attempt to shield DC725 was false and lies on all three counts PF5 posted, as outlined above. Pointing with high suspicion at DC725.
- DC725’s role claim does not jive with Napoleon’s revealed role, Red/Blue from WW XII, nor logic in the loss of role #1.
- The Imperial and DC725 are the only unclaims on the list of players/roles in Night 8-10, where we had perfect attendance.
- Wolves can hide after the kill, so he is not protected by your sightings in the Hangar Night 11.
- Napoleon’s death shows that DC725 almost assuredly killed Napoleon in self-protection as the last wolf.
So. After 12 pages and 3000+ words, I’ve come to the conclusion that Dragonclyne725 is the final Imperial and Wolf enemy.
Now, how does this play into his sightings as Lance? A few ideas:
- The Role Swap allows him to avoid investigation and gives him an alibi as Lance, while still retaining his original Wolf Role.
- He exposed his “Wolf abilities” in his Role when he “revealed,” thus enabling him to escape my lie detector.
- He avoided KP by using armor and a helmet when he killed Napoleon.
Under those assumptions, it is pretty easy to see how he seems to be Lance, while during the same night acting as the final Wolf.
Now, for some additional thoughts.
I doubt that Scottistru is the last Wolf regardless, in part due to his Night visibility, his role, and also REDADOS1’s ENERGYMITE. You all seem to have forgotten that Redados1 seered Scottistru as town.
While some of you have evidence of people being who they claim to be or not, Redados1 appears to have had a TRUE SEER. He was right about Me, PF5, AAM, LegendcallerL(Pikajew1213), and Toxictaipan. The possibility that he failed/misread when it came to Scottistru is unlikely.
The possibility of KP being the last wolf is also slim-to-none based on his role, the continuity of the game, and also the things he has claimed.
VOTE: DRAGONCLYNE725
Please do not end the game today/tomorrow. There is still more to discuss.
Namely the issue that there might be another Sith.
I’d like to know what thunderjolt has to say for himself about the past 2 night’s strange actions.
Scottistru ~ I think that would be wise. You could also include a few details about your role. If you want. If you tell the truth you don’t have to worry about anything.
If I had to guess, I'd say you are Talon Karrde.
Thunderjolt ~ Is all you have two 15%-chance roles? What else is there? Why were you able to use BOTH roles at the same time?
Thoughts?
Again I'm very sorry for the length and verbosity of this post. I've tried to condense it down, but I still want it to be readable. Please forgive me, but I feel that this length is necessary to prove my arguments.
TL;DR?
I'm sorry for the length.
Dragonclyne is a Wolf.
I have 8 reasons.
Scott is not a Wolf.
Thunderjolt is sketchy.
There might be another Sith. I'm not sure.
