Rumour WereDocker 5: ClusterFreagle - Game over, man, game over

[Truckosaurus]

Additional Rules:
Trade Week - the Freagle Captain can recruit one Eagle in exchange for a packet of chips, but they have to do it within the first three rounds.

HeavenChat - discussion between dead/exiled players is quarantined from the thread in a PM group I'll establish after the first lynching.

Preseason Competition - consisting of a day where everyone can establish themselves and their characters prior to the first kill.

No Runners - no PMs between active competitors, all strategy talk conducted in thread.

Converting - if the Freagle Captain converts the Match Analyst or the Club Doctor, a new player will be picked to fill that role. A new player will not be picked to replace the Club Doctor if the power to save an attacked player has already been used.

ACTIVE ROLES:
Freagle Captain - can convert an Eagle during Trade Week (see above).

Freagle - work it out, Einstein.

Match Analyst - the MA can ask the compere about any player to find out whether they're the Freagle or not, but only once per round. They have to find a way to convince people to follow their lead without being identified by the Freagles as the MA, or risk death!

Club Doctor - every night, after the Freagles have picked who to kill the Club Doctor will be given the opportunity to save them, but they can only use this power once. They can save it for themselves (assuming they aren't evicted) or use it to save someone else. After that, they'll have run out of panadol and caffeine tablets.

DEAD TO ME PLAYERS
avishka 5 - Abang

 

[MWPP]

Smeg and I both listed some people, Ochre was the consensus overlap. I think he was the second preference for both of us and therefore first overall
ashley12

You're not taking me seriously regardless. The ash is a freagle playing us idea will take off when I flip clean.

It won't. Just as the Zerg /guero are evil ideas didn't take off when you died last time , or the CM/squash are evil theories didn't take off when I died last time XD

The village has a mind of its own

 

[squashface]

Ochre is there anyone you can vouch for being the cleanest player in the game this time so we know who to lynch tonight?

 

[Ochre]

I vote for Trevor Nisbett

 

[ashley12]

Going to view ochre

 

[Ochre]

Going to view ochre

You'll never know if you don't go

 

[ashley12]

Still waiting for trucko btw (no rush you host a great game)

 

[ashley12]

Ochre is

Spoiler: Are you the freagle father?

No this is Patrick

Ochre is an Eagle

 

[ashley12]

You guys pick who to vote as I am surely dead tomorrow.

Unless I'm guessing about Ochres status and am a terrible Villager

 

[RookiePick]

OK. Just about to have dinner and will post back in a bit.

I have 5 confirmed town to share.

 

[guero]

Thanks for your help Ash. Three confirmed villagers (I'm not counting you as unfortunately you're unlikely to be with us tomorrow) is a good base from which to launch a counter-attack.

I vote for Ben Cousins.

If we're going for an inactive/semiactive I honestly think the case for Quinz is stronger
The reply was pretty unconvincing (without a tag, quote or mention too)

 

[MWPP]

Or CM/Doashuey for that matter
Wouldn't mind a scattered vote

 

[ZergMinion]

Sticking with my Hickey vote from this morning pending some sort of shocking revelation.

Quinz is a solid target so I'm happy to switch to get him over the line if it gets weird.

 

[MWPP]

OK. Just about to have dinner and will post back in a bit.

I have 5 confirmed town to share.

Name the 5 and your rationale
At first I thought you were including yourself but how could you be sharing yourself?

I understand the reasons for voting Quinz, I just don't think he's a bad guy. When he was evil a couple of games back he was heavily involved, and I think he would be again - he seems like that sort of bloke to me. But Ochre knows him much better than I do.

 

[squashface]

I’ll go Obama

His post of “busy so give me a name and I’ll go there” is the same tactic I used when I was a Freagle last game.

 

[Ochre]

Really was hoping Ash was gonna lie and say I was a Freagle so s**t would happen, but we're not allowed nice things in this game.

Hickey

CM has been active on the site, but not at all here. I'd be happy to punt him for that reason alone - inactivity, because we have absolutely no idea whether or not he's evil.

Doashuey is also an option - I am suspicious of him, but with no real basis.

I thought Barrybran's 'ixnay on the ocday so look elsewhere' post was strange. At the time I figured he was trying to throw out a subtle hint that he was the doc (so no point looking at you for that role). I didn't think he addressed it adequately when I asked about it. But you know him better then I do.

You're right. As far as mentioning without tags goes, I've been checking the thread sporadically but haven't been following the logic. When I see my name I respond. If I was trying to hide in plain sight I'd say nothing.

I want the villagers to win one so I'm not going to spoil it and come in with half baked theories. Tomorrow I'll get the chance to actually read through and analyse properly and I'll be a more able villager. If you kill me now you've lost nothing so far but you know I'm a capable player if I stay alive.

But you know him better then I do.

To add to what you said - CM like squash was a prime recruit (that others noted), and Doashuey is posting just enough to not be called up for being absent, but not actually adding anything. It's still early in the game (only 1 lynch and 1 kill so far) with a mostly engaged group so we're in the rare position of being able to cull some of those pesky inactives.

Fair point. Yep, he hasn't addressed that at all. I didn't know what to make of that comment, but I didn't read it as a soft (false) claim. Did he even have m/any vote/s on him when he said that?

 

[Smeg Head]

I think we need to solidly get behing someone to minimize and last minute panic switching or freagalization.

Just my vote. I'd voted for him the day before and his comment came during the vish hiatus.

You not responding to the incredibly offensive suggestion I know you well is incredibly suspicious

 

[Carbine Chaos]

The convert an immune player may be too obvious but given he’s been fairly inactive this game thus far it seems a worthwhile punt...

David Grace QC hereby votes for Tom Hickey, the clumsy oaf.

 

[RookiePick]

So here it is. Running with the KISS principle:

Townsfolk:
Ashley 12 - Seer
MWPP - Seer confirmed
Quinz - Seer confirmed

Now how about the other two confirmed townies I promised you...

Wally Matera = Doctor. Yes it was I who saved our erstwhile seer last night. A few epi-pens left at the bottom of the kit bag after I finally came to terms with Brandon being a little fatty as opposed to bloated by an allergic reaction.

... But if Wally is the Doctor that must mean... We have our first Freagle

VOTE: SMEG HEAD = Freagle

That brings us to our 5th townie..

I beat out SMEG Head with a buzzer beating vote last night. His vote was for
TOWNIE - What is (Braun)

Knowing his doctor gambit would come unstuck there is no way he would have thrown a co-freagle under the bus.

Vote for SMEG Head there is 0% chance he flips Doctor.
