I'm on board. I don't get why Barney would be anything other than villager, but if she's lying then it's sketchy: lynch ashgirl

So yesterday you said, in response to one of MJ's posts where he said lynching Barney was a bad idea:

I didn't vote for Ashgirl, but if I would have, it wouldn't have been because I think she's a wolf - it would have been because I'm pretty sure (as much as I can be without any actual data) that she's neutral or chaos. And I'd definitely vote to take out neutral/chaos.

But now you don't think Barney would be anything other than villager?

My comment yesterday (about not lynching Barney) was before it came out that Ashgirl isn't being honest about her role.

My comment about her being neutral/chaos was based on the write-up.

I have no idea who she is. She apparently started as Barney, although I don't know that anyone has verified that. But per Dyachei she isn't Barney now, even though she's insisting she is. So there's a discrepancy. Maybe it's just STL having a random "haha, suckered ya, villagers" moment (woo woo... yawn). Maybe it's not. I dunno.

I don't think Barney <should> be anything but villager. But STL seems to like making obvious wolves out of characters that obviously should be villagers, or vice versa (like in the OITNB game). Personally, I find that lame. But whatever, he seems to enjoy it, so more power to him.

Point being: 1) In his games there doesn't appear to be much point in trying to guess whether a particular role would or wouldn't be a wolf. 2) She apparently is lying, which is sketchy. Therefore, I'm getting on the lynch train.

Edited to correct who I was responding to (thx Gwen).

LIS, you're having an old man moment. That's WZ you're talking to, not Ashgirl.
 
Just checking in after being busy during the day and getting back from the gym. Willing to go with the possible role change for now. Plus, never been a fan of leaving chaos players for too long.

lynch ashgirl

Ok. Just seemed odd to me but I can follow your reasoning.
 
My action didn't work on ashgirl last night ether but im not willing to risk one of the most important characters bc of a suspicion. Lynch HIMYP
 
WildZoo said:
So you're going to vote for the messenger before we even know if the info she got was right or not? Is there some kind of reasoning behind this that I'm missing?
Click to expand...
I guess the voting for the messenger isn't the best route. I certainly don't buy the ashgirl info and so I picked among the people who already had votes against them. Rogert defended himyp a little and so I eliminated her. And just picked among those.

Why don't you buy the info?
 
It seems that the person that told Dy this info is either misinformed themselves or really wants me gone...

Anyways, it's pretty pointless to say that I haven't changed, no one will believe me anyways, so I'll let everyone lynch me, though I have to warn you it will be a waste of a lynch.

After this game I will respond more to this, but there was actually a rationale to it in oitnb. I will be the first to admit that my brain thinks a bit differently then most, and that I am a bit weird, but I did have a rationale for each character in that came being the alliance that they were

never explain yourself. Let them grovel for your litany of knowledge... AND THEN TELL THEM THEY ARE UNWORTHY.

Thusly it is written in the creed of the modgod.

All I know is that your role is no longer Barney. You're the one that keeps refuting that. and other people have chimed in with things that aren't lining up. So why not just come clean?

Which supports the idea that there is no point in trying to figure out your thought process 😛

Is anything going to help it at this point? Though, I would like to point out that having an immune wolf would not be a smart move on any mods part.

At this point, if I had anything to come clean to, I would. But I seriously don't, I'm 100% still Barney, and if you would even like my affiliation, I'm neutral. (Which, is different from chaos in STL terms).
Jilary said:
Yeah, you probably should have mentioned this earlier. The late notice doesn't help your case.
Click to expand...
I didn't state it earlier because I really didn't see a point. Seeing is believing around here, so if they need to see it then so be it.
 
we've seen nuetral. we've also seen neutral be truly chaos.

and im sure someone has a more elegant solution to the problem if lynching doesnt work.
 
Lynch ashgirl. Because of the inconsistency with info on her being convertable and having changed, and her claiming she is unconvertable. And because neutral could really be chaos. I'd be surprised if Barney is a neutral role, he seems more chaos-like to me.
DVMDream said:
Yup, we could all 3 communicate in one PM. I didn't say much because I have said many times I don't do PMs really, you want to PM me fine, but don't expect me to say much or tell you anything.

Also, pay attention to the last lynch, MJ made it very clear then (at least to me) that he had an important role. So, it is just as likely anyone who was reading the thread picked up on it and attacked him.
Click to expand...
Ok. I was asking that because MJ had said maybe you attacked him knowing no one else would know what he'd told you. But that's not the case if zen was also part of the convo, so I agree that the attack on MJ is not likely a reason to be suspicious of you. And yes, it was also on the thread that he had an ability.
 
It won't surprise me in the slightest if Barney is completely unkillable and is just around to mess with people.
 
dyachei said:
which changes nothing since ashgirl has been less than honest about it everything
Click to expand...
Oh, I agree. Just thinking out loud.

LetItSnow said:
If that's the case, why hide it? I think she's probably got some independent win condition.
Click to expand...
I could see making us lynch her a couple times being part of that win condition (if there is a win condition). I imagine Barney's a lot like the Cat in the Hat.
 
I'm back from skiing, don't have time to read through this before deadline.
I am ok with trying ashgirl again. Still seems chaotic to me, but then this game is a bit chaotic it seems (and I mean that as a compliment STL).

lynch ashgirl

tomorrow i have no flights and not much plans so can get more involved.

Just got off work (lord help me be strong around clients who won't leave after we turn off lights) so I'm probably missing deadline. Whatever. I actually wasn't surprised by the oitnb WW game. Just because of how characters changed from season 1 to 2. (season 1,hated 'stache. Season 2, kinda liked him. Piper season 1- Oh poor me. Season 2-self destruction) But I also wasn't helpful because I died night 2. Maybe? Can any of this logic be useful now? Probably not.

I also understand most of the affiliations that game (except stache, because I could never like that character). It might not be useful info for this game, but it means we both have some STL-logic... 😉

Theory buddies?
 
(For the purpose of this write up, and for future write ups, if everyone is assuming a character name for a certain person, I am going to have him be that character, regardless of if that is the truth or not)

The day progressed steadily with several people coming up for lynch. Should we kill the messenger (always seems like a sound idea) or the person that the messenger is incriminating? At the end of the day, everyone decided it would be best to use the incriminating evidence and go for Barney Stinson, player king of New York City.

Everyone surrounds him as he is trying to pick up a good looking chick at the bar. He turns around and sees the crowd, clearly out for blood. He smiles, chuckles to himself, and addresses the group. "What is everyone doing here? Is there a party that i wasn't invited to?"

"Actually Barney," said Lily Aldrin (Rogert), "this is an intervention. We are intervening against you continuing to deceive. And create chaos. And for that matter, breathing. The angry mob gets closer and closer to Barney. And that's when it happened. Barney whispered something in the first person's ear, and they immediately backed off. Same with a second person, and a third person. In fact, after whispering the same person in each person's ear, they all backed off. The last one was Rogert who heard, "I am the physical incarnate of awesome, you can't kill awesomeness, can you?" Except he added something else afterwards, specifically for Rogert's benefit. "Oh and I will let you in on a little secret. Thanks for making me more powerful, I really needed that for this upcoming night." With a wink, he walked off, leaving Lily's mouth agape.

"You son of a BISH!"

No one has died. It is night 3, deadline is set for 6 am est.

Roster to follow

Truth.

But, if she won the game because we lynched her a couple times and that was her lynch condition ... so be it. That would be one of the stupidest wins in the history of WW.
 
These write ups seem like STL is giving us too much info too easily (such as Lily). I have a feeling something is up with them, or there's some catch... :yeahright:

Ok, that's great, but ... since Dyachei is insisting that Ash is lying about being Barney..... I don't think it's fair to say we're all assuming Ash is Barney. I'm sure not.

I dunno. Your game, your write-up, but personally I find that confusing. It sounds like you're validating something when you're saying you're really not.

Ash IS barney. I have a role that was activated by finding Barney, who is Ash.

I can verify that ash is (or was, at least) Barney.

ETA: nevermind, misread!
 
LetItSnow said:
And Dyachei has info saying that Ash is not Barney.

Therefore, assuming you're correct, the obvious conclusion is that Ash is no longer Barney. Which equals "not Barney".
Click to expand...
If she were no longer Barney I would no longer be able to communicate with her. I am still able to communicate with her, which implies she is still Barney.

I actually don't think lynching Dy is the correct solution. Lynching the person who told her the false info? I would be up for that.

I find it interesting that everyone is 100% sure that's Dy's info is correct. Has anyone thought that this person could be lying? I had a conversation activated just today between myself and another character who's role was to find Barney... that wouldn't happen if I changed to someone else.
 
dyachei said:
I was given specific results from someone who said that her role name was not barney. So I'm not sure I believe that. Sorry.
Click to expand...
It is impossible for her to not be Barney. I can't inform you as to why without revealing my role, but the short of it is I had to follow a player each night, and when I found Barney, STL would open a channel of communication with them. I followed Ash, and STL started the conversation Barney and XXXX
 
This was last night btw- if she were changed to a different character last night, my ability likely would not have worked, as she would no longer have been Barney. Unless she is Barney, but is evil.
