> What are we going to do if our testee comes up town toDay? With 5 players remaining and (hopefully) one wolf we have 1 mislynch available. If there are two wolves remaining then we are at lynch or lose. I think either way we need to lynch someone toDay. So as far as I am concerned if Adrian comes back town then I’m going to vote to lynch Allwalker.

This is why I think we need to vote to test the scummiest. I’m not sure what is wise if we test a townie. If that’s the case, we’ll have to think carefully.

I think there is one wolf in the game, but have no proof for that. Isn’t 5 wolves a bit “wolf heavy” for a beginner game?

I agree I only think there is one left but I wanted to look into the possibility of two. Since we have a free lynch now I think it would be a mistake to risk there being two wolves left and no lynching toDay. Not to mention as I see it there are only two candidates left and we could win toDay.

I don’t think **MHaye** is confirmed. His theory, yes, but not he himself.

**Jimmy’s** theory was just as good as his until **Jimmy’s** lynch (though coming up with a good one first counts for a bit. Posting a good theory is courageous, but could make sense for a wolf.

Look what **Telcontar** had to say:

> [@Telcontar](#):
>
> Why **Mhaye** is less innocent than **Oredigger77** and **Rex** :  
> Looking at the voting around the death of **EH** , I noticed that **Mhaye** was happy to vote for me, but didn’t want to tie it. He said this right before the vote and was definitely around to break any future ties that developed. The aversion to ties makes jack sense, but I’m willing to pass on that per se. Had **EH** switched his vote twenty minutes earlier (perfectly sensible defensive voting) then mhaye could have swept in and broken the new tie (justifying it by his aversion to ties). **EH** lives, I die, wolves are in a much better position. It would also reframe the **mhaye** - **justin** standoff as wolf wolf, which explains why\*\* justin\*\* was so willing to die and makes\*\* mhaye’\*\*s testerizer analysis look like a bold wolf play.

**Vote MHaye**

I’d forgotten about that post of **Tel** ’s, and I do see where it is going. I’m not sure if **MHaye** is town or not, but right now he looks a lot more town than…

Good evening all.

I haven’t been able to log into the Dope for nearly a week, because I couldn’t recall my password. (Other sites stuck in my mind, but not this one).

I’ve been wanting to test Adrian II, so let me put my vote there.

**Test Undecided Adrian II**

Back tomorrow evening with some coherent thought.

I have to admit that I’m looking forward to the coherent thought. We haven’t had one in this thread for a while. Any chance it’ll be before we get the results?

Barring complications, that does seem to clinch it.

**Vote Undecided Adrian II**.

The complications I am worrying about involve Pedescribe having put in a wrinkle or two that renders the Testerizer less than infallible even after we’ve cracked the code. The fact that the Werewolves can’t eliminate the Testerizer from the game is a significant weight in the Town column, and I can’t shake the suspicion that there is either a Godfather or a Miller in this game. (A Miller is a Townsperson who registers as a Werewolf to the investigative role).

If Adrian turns out Town, then the survivors who make it to Tomorrow will have to wrestle with the problem.

Until then, there’s little to discuss.

**Lynch Adrian the Second**

Can we wrap up this Day? I want to get to the drinking!

I don’t think Adrian’s vote is going to make much difference (although he _should_ place one if he’s Town, in order to help his side by indicating his suspicions.)

**Pedescribe, is there any chance of advancing the Day’s end by 24 hours?**

Well, I’m suspicious of you, mainly. Especially because your theory is wrong, or at least fallible.

**Vote MHaye**

Wait…on second thought…I want to see what other people think of this. But I’m open to the idea.

I’m cool with it. In fact, I’m for it. If we were right, the game is essentially over. If we are wrong, we will need more time ToMorrow to figure out what to do.

It is now night. Due to the low number of people, this night will only last 24 hours instead of the usual 48, ending at Noon Friday EDT.

Well, the testerizer still works. Is it a bad sign that the game didn’t end, or do us townies need to survive a night to confirm no wolves exist?

Sweet, one more wolf down. Kinda wonder why its night and not the end of the game though.

Beer time though.
