I understand your confusion, the wild joke is such a rarely observed species these days that it is oft not recognized. We're far more used to seeing domesticated jokes in all their useful varieties. But on the open plains of the intertrons, wild jokes still roam free and untamed, and are occasionally spotted by those who know how to take one, or the occasional tourist on a joke safari.

This one appears to be a prime example of the genus and species Continuus iocus, more commonly known as the Running Gag. I also detect some hybridization with Resiterum alio, the Recurring Character.

Such wild hybrids typically are the love children of serious exchanges, as in this case MasterWolf thinking he was part of the Mafia game when he wasn't, and Bernek suspecting him without realizing MW wasn't even in the game. I have a feeling this Continuus iocus will have an inordinately long lifespan and will give rise to many offspring.

That's enough.

If you are not an active living player or a recently deceased player posting their 1 "goodbye" post that doesn't give any hints or suggestions, you have absolutely no business posting in an active Werewolf or Mafia game, and will be smacked for spamming.

Well, I thought it was funny. And just so SOME people know, that gag was approved through me and MM so lay off.

Thanks,
Jazaray

Thanks for clearing that up Jaz.

Okay, I've been looking over the vote spread, and there are some things I want to share.

First of all, we need to settle on where the wolves are probably voting. It's been agreed upon by pretty much everyone by now that it's almost a definite yes that there are two wolves in the ToL pile R1. The question I have is where did they go in R3 (a round with a very similar pile breakdown)? I think it's equally likely that at the very least 1 wolf was in the Liq pile- pile analysis or no, he's just too big a target to be ignored. So, we have three options:
1. There is 1 wolf in the Liq pile and 2 wolves among PGB, BB, PD.
2. There is 2 wolves in the Liq pile and 1 wolf among PGB, BB, PD.
3. There is 3 wolves in the Liq pile.
Now what I did is compared the two round's piles. If we assume that the spread for R3 was the same as R1 (2 wolves in the lynch pile and 1 outside of it), and furthermore that the wolves scattered in the intervening rounds, then that also narrows our list down greatly. There are 4 players who have voted for both ToL R1 and Liq R3:
Bugger
GLE
Montague
Thanos
Now, it's possible there are three wolves in there, but by simple virtue of the fact that we accept that there is exactly 2 in the ToL pile, it's highly unlikely. Comparing their voting patterns (I'm including myself in the interest of completeness, and rather than give into the urge to make the empty statement "I'm a cit" right now I'll just say you'll all have to trust me):
Bug: 1 2 1 1
GLE: 1 3 1 3
Mon: 1 3 1 2
Tha: 1 1 1 1
1 means it's a vote for that round's lynchee, 2 means a vote for the second-largest pile on a single player, and 3 means a random vote. Some players have mentioned that the wolves have a tendency to block vote. If that's the case, GLE and Montague have the most similar voting patterns out of anyone who voted for both Liq and ToL.

If, on the other hand, the wolves almost all stayed out of the Liq pile, we have either 2 or 1 wolves among:
PGB
PD
BB
Of these three, 2 were in the ToL pile- PGB and BB.

So... in short, I think there is at least 2 (possibly all 3) wolves among the four of PGB, BB, GLE, and Montague.

On a cursory glance your analysis looks pretty solid--but the "possibly all three" condition is only possible in this list if ALL the wolves voted for TOL R1. You haven't listed any of the people who didn't vote for TOL R1, so the only way to get 3 wolves then is if all three were in the TOL pile to begin with. Certainly possible. The question is, is it likely?

I'll give your analysis another look-over when I get home tonite... too busy at work right now too think hard on it.
