There. It's more convenient to have a place where we can talk in private, right? This way we can discuss who looks suspicious and how we want to vote without anyone else seeing it.

Sure, if you think it's necessary...

I'll be honest, everyone looks suspicious to me. But I guess I'm not a very trusting person.

From:

zettai

It's definitely necessary. If we just put all of our reasoning in front of everyone else, the wolves can see too, right? Then they'll be able to take countermeasures. You always want to have a private post with your partner if you have one, and in the later stages of the game you can also open up private posts with people you think you can trust.

[giggle] Pretty indiscriminate, huh? But there's only three pairs of wolves as opposed to nine pairs of sheep, so it can't be everyone. Later today, we'll get a clue with three pairs in it: two of them will be sheep and one of them will be a wolf, but we don't get to know which is which. That'll narrow down our choices for tonight's voting for us.

From:

zettai

It's not like I have any super strong hunches yet, but right now I'm thinking of voting on Joe and Takeru. Does that sound alright to you? If you're not around when voting's about to close up, I'll just go ahead.

From:

zippo

... I was too late this time, but I think I understand how it works now. If every round happens like this, I won't be so useless next time.

From:

zettai

Yeah, each round pretty much works the same way. Tonight was mostly a guessing game, anyway. We'll have more to go on tomorrow.

From:

zippo

... All right. What can we guess about the wolves from their actions?

From:

zettai

All we know for sure right now is that they've eaten Accelerator's team, but I guess that could mean one of the wolves has played with him before to know he's a pretty good player. Then again, he was being pretty helpful in the ousting in general, so it could've just been because of that.

From:

zippo

So that's what people get for being good at this game. ... I don't know any of these people, but I'm a decent listener. If I overhear anything suspicious, I'll let you know.

From:

zettai

A lot of the time, that's how it goes! Though there are some experienced sheep that tend to get left in because it's easy to make them look like wolves.

For the record, I'm kind of suspecting Satoshi and Boyue right now, but don't mention it to anyone else yet, especially since it's nothing concrete.

From:

zippo

Why them?

From:

zettai

Well, to be honest, neither of the two groups in the ousting struck me as acting terribly suspicious... Satoshi and Boyue didn't ask any questions or even vote during the ousting, which could indicate that they didn't care about the outcome either way--which would make sense if they were wolves and knew that there were two sheep up for vote. Satoshi's comment about the wolves possibly getting revenge on Accelerator for changing his vote to Takeru also seemed kind of weird and could potentially be him trying to shift attention off of his clue.

Of course all that could easily be explained away, and Accelerator leaving the game actually makes Rika look a little suspicious to me too, but it's stuff to keep in mind, at least.

From:

zettai

... Oh, I guess Boyue did ask Rika a question, though. I missed that, somehow.

From:

zippo

A single question isn't really enough to keep up appearances.

From:

zettai

True enough!

From:

zippo

... One of the three mentioned in the clue is definitely going to be a wolf, right? But it gets narrowed down to two before the ousting.

So if we pick wrong, the wolf team could end up safe.

From:

zettai

Yep, exactly. There's always a chance that we could send two sheep up for vote. Who are you thinking we should send up right now?

From:

zippo

That weird purple guy sounds suspicious.

From:

zettai

Purple guy... You mean Klavier?

From:

zippo

Yeah, him. It sounds like he's avoiding the important points of the questions people are asking.

From:

zettai

Hmm... I guess I could see that, but he was actually striking me as one of the more sheep-like. I think the more ambiguous answers he's giving aren't that unusual for someone in his position, and what little we've heard of his thoughts actually match up with mine. What do you think of Sanosuke and Laguna?

From:

zippo

Laguna's thinking seems to be along the same lines as everyone else. I don't know about Sanosuke, though.

From:

zettai

Sanosuke hasn't said much to look at except for his comment about Accelerator being eaten, though he did make a point of mentioning that he didn't know he was eaten before he was told about it. Also, given his response to my question, it's possible he assumed there were two sheep up for vote last night, though he didn't really say enough to judge.

I'm not sure about Adam. He made a comment that made it sound like he thought Boyue and Satoshi were wolves, but then later made a comment that implied he thought there was a wolf between Joe & Takeru and Rika. I don't really get his comments about eating Accelerator being "heavy-handed," either.

From:

zettai

How do you feel about throwing in a vote for Adam? Or do you feel strongly about Klavier?

From:

zippo

We should go for Adam. He says all that stuff about the wolves being heavy-handed and aggressive, but it sounds to me that he could be just as good at displacement as he's accusing Rika of being.
