DAY FOUR

Posted by nubby May 17 '11, 10:39

The hens knew that their ranks were thinning, and they had to do something about it fast. Three hens down, and still not very much information to go on regarding who was a fox and who wasn't. Panic was starting to harden into resolve. Their strategizing was becoming more focused. And with that newfound seriousness, they took a straw poll and decided to ambush Hen Amoxy. The unlucky fella pleaded with the gang, but to no avail. Chicken Cochran was nowhere to be found. So it was with much less trepidation that the hens jumped on Hen Amoxy. But that descriptor was not apropos: when Hen Will Hunting grabbed his head, the Hen mask dropped away revealing amoxy to be a fox. "You may have found me out," he said, "but you'll never stop my friends. They'll gobble every one of you up!" The hens then chopped him up for stew.

The henhouse slept a good deal better that night. Surely two foxes would be easier to catch than three. At least that's what Hen Will Hunting was thinking, right before he was eaten by the remaining two foxes. Now that's a meal and plenty of leftovers.

Day Four begins. Seven votes until nightfall.

Responses:

ambush Vermin (sorry - was on a client call) -- nm - JenBro May 17, 11:42 2
- crap - I didn't read past nubby's post - it's mara? -- nm - JenBro May 17, 11:44 1
  - No, that's next time. -- nm - mara May 17, 11:47
AMBUSH MARA. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 11:34 12
- AMBUSH MARA -- nm - Vermin in the Henhouse May 17, 11:56
- 6 votes down, 1 to go. -- nm - nubby May 17, 11:36 10
  - I'll bet money right now that mara's a fox. And I'm starting to believe that JenBro's the third and final one. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 11:39 9
    - How much? -- nm - mara May 17, 11:50
    - For this round, it doesn't matter. It's Vermin. We just need one more vote. -- nm - nubby May 17, 11:40 7
      - How's that work again? (Curious.) He's got three votes against and then three others have one vote. Wouldn't... - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 11:42 6
        
        The Day ends when seven votes are cast. -- nm - nubby May 17, 11:44 4
        
        Gotcha. I thought there was 8 this round. My bad. - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 11:45 3
        
        What happens in the event of a tie vote? -- nm - Fuzzy May 17, 11:50 2
        
        Voting keeps going until it's broken. - nubby May 17, 11:57 1
        
        I think Vigilant would be the tie-breaker. -- nm - nubby May 17, 12:04
        
        there was only seven votes this round. -- nm - znufrii May 17, 11:44
AMBUSH TFOX -- nm - Beaker May 17, 11:29
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. I don't think Vermin's a fox. I looked at his posting history and he sat out a couple of votes and voted for Amoxy (a fox). - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 11:27 10
- he was the 6th vote. only the first 5 were meaningful -- nm - znufrii May 17, 11:30 6
  - Fair enough, but it still doesn't explain a vote away from amoxy that mara cast. What's the hen advantage to going "off target"? - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 11:34 4
    - I didn't find that particularly meaningful at all, it was far too late in the round to have any influence. -- nm - znufrii May 17, 11:36 3
      - note that this doesn't mean I think you are wrong. -- nm - znufrii May 17, 11:37 2
        
        It might be a throwaway, but she didn't back it up with either a joke or reasoning until asked and it was clear it was over. - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 11:39 1
        
        At this point, the only things I can say are: A) I suck at this game, and B) nothing I can say will change anyone's mind about me. Let's assume I'm - mara May 17, 11:43
  - oh, good catch. -- nm - ty97 May 17, 11:31
- Did he? I was going on mara's logic, I need to backboard. -- nm - ty97 May 17, 11:28 2
  - You're right, he did, damn. Can I un-ambush? -- nm - ty97 May 17, 11:29 1
    - No. -- nm - nubby May 17, 11:37
DAY FOUR update - nubby May 17, 11:26 1
- who is nubby talking to? -- nm - JenBro May 17, 11:45
*dresses in black* - kelly May 17, 11:05 1
- All the better to go sneaking, eh? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 11:07
AMBUSH VERMIN. -- nm - mara May 17, 11:00 4
- AMBUSH VERMIN -- nm - znufrii May 17, 11:10
- Is this gut feel, or was their a discussion I missed about why? Not challenging you, just not sure how to vote and looking for a reason. -- nm - ty97 May 17, 11:03 2
  - I've decided to go with somebody who's been less participatory. The contributions from him that I've seen were insignicant, jokey, off-the-cuff. -- nm - mara May 17, 11:07 1
    - Solid reasoning, I'll go with it. AMBUSH VERMIN. -- nm - ty97 May 17, 11:11
AMBUSH JENBRO - TFox May 17, 10:56 3
- I'm trying to catch up and I'm torn. This morning she didn't seem like a fox to me.....but that voting irregularity is a good point. -- nm - ty97 May 17, 10:59
- fine - everyone ambush me - it's the wrong choice but I won't convince you I'm sure -- nm - JenBro May 17, 10:57 1
  - ok - for the record - while I am back at work now - I have to go to a co-worker's office and will be AFK - I have no idea who to vote for next I was - JenBro May 17, 10:59
Crap I'm sorry Wil - why did the foxes still get a ben though- that's not fair -- nm - JenBro May 17, 10:52
well done everyone. who's next? -- nm - znufrii May 17, 10:43 6
- AMBUSH ZNUFRII!!! -- nm - Roger More May 17, 10:47 5
  - nice try -- nm - znufrii May 17, 10:48 4
    - Isn't that an official vote? -- nm - mara May 17, 10:50 3
      - He's not playing. -- nm - nubby May 17, 10:51 2
        
        Oh, that's helpful. So I need to print out the list of players and tape it to my monitor now so I can double-check everything that looks like a vote. -- nm - mara May 17, 10:54 1
        
        I can share my spreadsheet with you... oh wait. -- nm - nubby May 17, 10:55
Are the "eaten" completely out of the game, or are they allowed to continue to comment and speculate? (nm) - musubi May 17, 10:43 9
- If I were a fox (I'm not), the logic would be "well, since Will suggested a fox correctly, they'll know he's a hen, so killing him gives them no info. - TFox May 17, 10:46 3
  - I get what you're saying, but if it doens't take will's guessing/speculation out of the equation, then - musubi May 17, 10:49 2
    - well, you kill a question mark, but know Will is safe, then you've narrowed the voting pool by 2, not just 1. -- nm - TFox May 17, 10:51 1
      - Yeah, it's based on this that I figure I'm dead hen clucking on the next round. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 10:59
- It's a free board. They can discuss. -- nm - nubby May 17, 10:45
- I don't think we should participate, as some may die with useful information (like if I was the Vigilant, I could know who is a Fox) -- nm - Guigue May 17, 10:45 3
  - This is what I'm wondering. Because if the info can still be shared, then being a "special" hen, isn't automatically a target. - musubi May 17, 10:47 2
    - Ideally, if you're out of the game, you can't talk, but there's no way to enforce that here. -- nm - nubby May 17, 10:51 1
      - Ah, gotcha. So it's not that discussion is encouraged, but moreso just honor system to be "dead". (nm) - musubi May 17, 10:53
Mmmm, that's good stew. -- nm - Vermin in the Henhouse May 17, 10:41
heh. good work Will. know in your death that you were right. - TFox May 17, 10:40 13
- "*starts thinking JenBro's hesitancy to vote for the clear choice is a sign we've hit a fox and she doesn't want to vote for him*" - David May 17, 10:42 12
  - I almost want to run with this today, just because I feel bad about accusing our fallen hero. -- nm - TFox May 17, 10:42 11
    - I'm not entirely convinced...there are other, more likely targets, I think... -- nm - znufrii May 17, 10:48 10
      - Like I said, I'd be surprised, but... she went from YAY YAY YAY YAY FOX HEN WOOOOOO! - TFox May 17, 10:50 2
        
        I was IN A MEETING -- nm - JenBro May 17, 10:56
        
        the timing is curious... -- nm - znufrii May 17, 10:52
      - At this point, I'm think you and JenBro may both be foxes. (This game is great for generating mistrust and paranoia, isn't it.) -- nm - mara May 17, 10:49 6
        
        I'm pretty sure JenBro is not, my own non-fox state should be obvious by now as I suggested amoxy first. - znufrii May 17, 10:50 5
        
        THANK YOU ZNU -- nm - JenBro May 17, 10:58
        
        Oh, you did? Okay. Hmmm, would a group of 3 sacrifice one of their members if it meant an almost iron-clad diversion of suspicion? -- nm - mara May 17, 10:52 3
        
        (he suggested alphabetical order, not amoxy by name, fwiw.) -- nm - TFox May 17, 10:53 2
        
        wrong - znufrii May 17, 10:54 1
        
        true. -- nm - TFox May 17, 10:54
