Is that what this is then? A truce until the DT is dead? Fine.

I think you're probably right it's not Tric.

It's probably not you either. And it's not me.

So who does that leave? Jack, Jim, NQT, and Max.

Is it Jack? Maybe, probably not.

Is it Jim? Possible, except I know from my POV they aren't.

Is it NQT or Max? They haven't posted yet, seems unfair to accuse them but at the same time they seem like the top Distant Third candidates. Do I feel like voting them tonight? No, because I'm tired and also I want to figure out if Webadict is on my team or not.

I don't care about a truce.

I mean yeah the DT being alive makes it suicide for the candidate to use their kill, but if the opportunity presents itself to lynch the heir or a supporter I don't think letting that pass by is wise.

That seems awfully brash, ToonyMan, voting for TricMagic after I extended an olive branch his way. How rude! Now I have to protect him in a way that makes it less obvious that I am his supporter.
Man, imagine if Tric was Candidate A or B? I feel sorry for them.

I'd feel sorry for any of his enthusiastic supporters.

. . .

Anyone? Anyone at all?

Anybody?

Alright.

Honestly, I think it's ToonyMan.

Then why not vote him?

I also wonder whether you might be right.

To be completely honest, I think you misunderstand The Hunt for the DT.  It is not a truce, but rather the best way to find the DT.  Invariably, hunting for the DT will reveal who supports which candidate.  So it is the "safe" way that players can both hunt the opposing team & the DT while supporting their own.

Not much of one. If I was the third party you would expect me to just be voting people.
Isn't that what you're doing?

We know Tric is neither the DT nor the Candidate because Tric has neither threatened to kill anyone, nor actually killed anyone.  No way that Tric has a kill ability and keeps quiet about it.

shrugs. So I look scummy, so what?
Also webadict for buddying, no coin for you.

@Tric: Could you unvote Web? It is too early for opposing Candidates to try to kill one another.
Also, Web is a Habitual Buddy.  He doesn't mean to buddy people, it is just in his nature.

I lay my life down for Jim Groovester, true heir to the throne.

May we find victory in our election...no...our conquest.

Spoiler: Indeed. (click to show/hide)

Bit strange you don't know about the coin Jack.

Bit strange you don't know about updog.

I know about updog. I thought that was valuable information that I needed to share.

EuchreJack is paying attention. I think he understands even more than he's saying, because not only is he correct, he's leaving out the last steps of the hunt.

The reason I am not voting is because Max and NQT haven't posted yet, and voting before they do implicates that I may or may not think none of the supporters of my candidate nor my candidate are among them. Additionally, it potentially identifies me as the DT, and allowing for that to be a potential outcome is good for information.

This game is an exercise in filling in the blanks and working with incomplete information before the other team(s) do. I have to make a move soon, but it cannot be now.

I'm honored.

There's a good chance Jack is one of the Candidates or the DT.

I can't tell if you know or not though...

Do you believe Jack is your ally?

It's true. The majority of players are Supporters, and thus KNOW at least one ally.

Is Tric a Candidate? Very doubtful, unless his supporters are exactly Jack and Web which seems idealistic.

Plus Tric would have shot by now. Tric holding a daykill? Unthinkable.

Of course Jack is a Candidate, he already said so :]

And we naturally can't be allies, because I'm the other Candidate >;]

A very good reason to vote you out webadict.

The more other people vote, the more information I have. From the web of alignments and disalignments shaping up, I am happy to hit Jim today, but I am also willing to change my mind if there is compelling reason to think someone is the Distant Third.

So, that seems good evidence that ToonyMan is the DT, and more good evidence that TricMagic is not very good at understanding this game.

And NQT ninja, but he's voting the right way.

NQT you sneak. I like that you've come in with a reasonable vote besides the fact I obviously disagree with it. I wish to share my own graph at some point so I hope you do the same.

I don't want to be lame and not vote or post even if it's an effective strategy in this game. It's irrelevant what role I have. I would play this way no matter which role.

I'm pretty sure Webadict isn't my ally? So he is a very reasonable vote.

Shit it could be that Webadict is the other Candidate and NQT is a supporter. This is going to be tough.
