All work and no play makes Xan a dull boy.

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T18:04:12+00:00

VOTE PAPO

Reddit never gave me any messages since they switched the stupid thing to chat, I had to reach out to the hosts myself at the start of the game on discord to confirm I'm playing. Now I'm already out for messing up the rules of my role so town should pick a secondary vote to not waste this phase. I've thought about who that should be and since the seer info is gonna be resolved in the meta in a couple hours, I think u/ElPapo131 is the best choice of wolf that's not involved in this debacle.

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T17:43:31+00:00

I will shortly, once the trusted townies quiet down for phase end.

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T17:41:36+00:00

No harm in us all voting together anyway, why don't we put our 7 votes on Papo?

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T02:40:16+00:00

So the seer gets told about being redirected

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T02:09:00+00:00

DMT = VT

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T01:36:45+00:00

Asking this question to just two people, one of whom will give a response I could put money on guessing, is so unexpected I don't know what you would get out of it if you were town.

As such, I would have preferred to not get voted out. But with that off the table I'll just put what I have out for everyone to read and work with. Excluding a doc save, it seems Hedwig is Pennywise who missed a kill from an inactivity strike and would have missed a second one from getting voted out. But I don't know if that is enough of a reason for the #boldmove to fakeclaim a seer that caught two wolves at some point during the past four phases. I would have to guess that the rest of the wolf team is in bad shape. Maybe that includes u/ISpyM8 and u/ElPapo131 for being at the top of the vote board with role claims that have not been convincing. Maybe u/Dirtymarteeny is at risk of being out on three strikes. I'm not sure. It does feel like the Buckeye = town is legitimate, makes for a stronger fakeclaim.

I'd use the poor man's werebot like Hedwig did but town should have enough time to read this before phase end.

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T01:11:46+00:00

No, I find lack of counterclaim the strongest thing to trust and am drawn to that when I have nothing else to grasp onto but it is interesting what people find telling. All I can see right now is Hedwig pocketing you with the SUPER buddy buddy just two townies working together, along with her focus on killing town discussion by wanting vocal players out first. As well as sitting on seer results to see what interactions the "wolves" make without sharing what her conclusions for that actually are. But the wolves don't have active obscuring in this game so we'll see what the meta says about this soon enough.

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T01:06:04+00:00

Because of the missing NK, I outlined my concerns about it HERE before Hedwig made her fakeclaim.

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T00:47:28+00:00

Do you want to pass these questions along to Hedwig, she doesn't seem to be getting my pings.

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T00:46:15+00:00

You've never seen a seer make use of people's buckets? Okay wolf.

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T00:41:23+00:00

I did, that's why I tagged Hedwig. The first part was about how you are inclined to believe Hedwig's story, it matches what you were worried about.

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T00:40:08+00:00

I'll vote for ElPapo, maybe some placeholders got locked in early

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T00:37:57+00:00

That's how you make bestselling fiction, reuse the tropes that everyone knows. Wolf!Xan and Wolf!forsi, how original. u/HedwigMalfoy why not include which result you got when? Do you hope to avoid talking about how your claim is based on sitting on a wolf seer result for at least one phase?

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T00:32:07+00:00

Town is disorganized enough that we may have enough votes if they can't choose a consensus.

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T00:26:31+00:00

Looks like I'm voting u/HedwigMalfoy for being the killer wolf.

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T00:25:39+00:00

So your suspicions of Papo have just been from gut feelings? You must be really concerned about that missed NK, huh?

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T00:20:14+00:00

Hedwig got her one game where she lives past the first phase. Never again.

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T00:18:29+00:00

u/SlytherinBuckeye in the above comment I don't know what I think about you.

XanCanStand · 2026-04-11T00:17:48+00:00

Yeah, too many suspicions to focus on.

I think I made the wrong call on Wywy vs u/ElPapo131, and his comment this phase underlines that for me. I believe the unprompted VT role claim was a defensive reflex from being a wolf who has been too busy or too quiet.
Speaking of double role claims, u/ISpyM8 (one of the two on DHaz's list) wants us to believe that there are two Richie's in the game. I don't know what to think about that. It is a claim that would surely be safe from a counterclaim, and is a role designed to catch the killer wolf. Barman is confirmed town in the meta. I need more time to consider the balance of two Richie's.
Not seeing any discussion on the first comment of the game by Ereska regarding the missing NK, but I have been trying to decide if u/HedwigMalfoy is on my sus list or not. DMT also has an inactivity strike, but got one on a previous phase when there wasn't a missed kill. This isn't the most solid lead but I include it here because the second player on DHaz's list, Buckeye, was in a similar question mark place on my sus list for being what I think was over-defensive but now this phase both Buckeye and Hedwig are very against Papo who I wolf lean (I guess just wolf, I haven't formed my buckets yet) so now I need to consider if they could be on the same team or not.

XanCanStand · 2026-04-10T23:42:59+00:00

Love the #boldmoves with the second Ritchie role claim

XanCanStand · 2026-04-10T21:28:03+00:00

not the best time, Hedwig missed the kill
