Wolf Meeting Grounds for Game 5

My pets you may gather here and speak without fear of being seen.

But isn't that a little blatent? For instance, if I accused Ari, and then I died, it would cast suspicion on Ari, but... that's the sort of thing everyone expects automatically, so it never seems to work.

I'd rather kill random targets - or suspicious targets to throw the sheep off. Or even innocents - Alphonse Elric would make a good first victim.

The obvious can be the least expected. Any strategy is a double-edged sword and what you're suggesting is deliberately random choices, which may be even worse since your "random" strategy sounds like it's picking out the more oblivious campers that can be more easily swayed than others.

Yes, but swayed by whom?

I've thought of that, too. I may be able to keep Ari convinced, but really, he figured Taro out before me, so I should be very careful around him. Other than that, there aren't many people I know this game.

We could pool a list of people who would trust us easily and work them. For me, I'm fairly sure I could convince Lady Tot of my good intentions, as well as Ari.

I actually don't know many people this time around. Ari, and Murata a little bit--Tetra a little. But I don't talk to any of them regularily enough.

[identity profile] redrisngphoenix.livejournal.com 2005-10-03 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Then we go with Ari, definitely. I'm working on Lady Huang as we speak, and this Winry girl. Too early to tell, but I think things are going smoothly.

I may work on Murata some, too.

It would be a domino effect. If you can find some participants that trust you and are trusted by others you can set up a network of those that will vouch for you.

You'd have an easier time with this than I would.

[identity profile] redrisngphoenix.livejournal.com 2005-10-03 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Most definitely.

It's still too early to tell with Lady Huang, but I think her focus is tightly on you - I'd wager her suspicion vote went to you.

I may see if I can play good cop to Murata and Ari - his sudden jump in 'popularity' *does* look suspicious.

You obviously missed us playing Capture The Flag.

... It's very strange. Ying offered something of an explanation, but I'm loath to believe it would just be that.

[identity profile] redrisngphoenix.livejournal.com 2005-10-03 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
She told me she 'didn't want to not see it coming'.

I honestly think this is her idea of foreplay.

[identity profile] not-homicidal.livejournal.com 2005-10-03 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like her. I'm actually rather surprised she felt a need to cast suspicion on me immediately, given what an obvious choice I would be.

... It probably is. Sorry.

[identity profile] redrisngphoenix.livejournal.com 2005-10-03 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
After this, she'll probably never trust me again, though, so it looks like we'll be in the same boat after this.


Not that she's not a decent catch, but really, it's... kinda like thinking of your parents' love lives.

[identity profile] not-homicidal.livejournal.com 2005-10-03 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
... Given that she's expressed admiration for my putting her in a chokehold, I imagine she'd be disappointed to find out afterward that I didn't kill her.

[identity profile] redrisngphoenix.livejournal.com 2005-10-03 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Speaking of...

Do you think we should? If she begins to suspect us, I mean. I'd rather not, as she's well-connected and will probably yell if she suspects us, but silencing her may be a distinct possibility at some point.

You willing?

[identity profile] not-homicidal.livejournal.com 2005-10-03 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
... It would be best to keep her as an ally, but if she starts to become too difficult to work around it might be necessary.

I have no particular objection.

[identity profile] redrisngphoenix.livejournal.com 2005-10-03 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Noted.

[identity profile] redrisngphoenix.livejournal.com 2005-10-04 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Lady Huang *has* to go tonight.

She cleared Al while I was asleep and the votes began evening out. So she suspects an inside job with her poll tampering - luckily for me, she suspects Lady Winry, since she's been quiet tonight.

I'm obliged to vote for Lady Winry, but if she goes tonight, we cannot let Lady Huang live.

[identity profile] not-homicidal.livejournal.com 2005-10-04 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Agreed. We'll have to move or else this will get... very difficult. Ying is essentially the center of an information network that would collapse if she was removed.

[identity profile] redrisngphoenix.livejournal.com 2005-10-04 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
It could collapse, or I could become the center. Which is pretty much a part of what I was planning all along, although I was hoping I wouldn't have to off her.

We've been extremely fortunate to have kept the focus off of ourselves this entire round, but it won't last another day. With Winry gone, she'll know for certain that I was the one who leaked her information (even if we didn't really do much of anything outside of the initial vote-pile on Ari). The others, I don't believe are that smart.

Looks like Lady Tot voted for Ash. Maybe we can use her as the next scapegoat.
