    I'm certainly not Liam's biggest fan, and he's high on my wolf list, but I agree with him about Phil posting an awful lot of gibberish.

    I voted Liam yesterday and If I was to do an FFA right now I'd probably have him on it but yeah I'd also agree on that.


    Actually think I will do up an early FFA soon enough, rattle some cages at the very least and get people talking about who are wolves and not just where do we slowly walk to next

    anyway, that poem means nothing to me so will bow out of that 1. re the romans think we are all missing something obvious.

    hopefully the light bulb room will have something a bit easier

    Yeah, I think we've probably overthought the Roman malarkey.

    Do we have any guesses left today?

    1/12 was a guess and 56 so 1 i believe

    Two left I think.


    Someone else had a good suggestion there and if we had another I’d be in fair of going for it and getting it off the table

    should be 1 guess left after my Level Two guess and the 1/12 from Tegan

    Ok now I feel a little bit bad as I'm guessing the tone of that sentence did not translate very well. I'll explain more in the FFA I'm writting atm but here is an example

    D2 FFA but as I'm the only one who did one yesterday I'll note it as

    #FFA1

    Lucy: I put forward this post about Lucy (https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=111920725&postcount=666), which did not get a response despite being right above the munch post and Lucy posting since then. I highlight this lack of a response and then despite me stating that her play was fluffy, post count upping type of wolf play when she does respond she simply says sorry for not crediting me, again imo trying to avoid the conversation going further and her being a topic of conversation instead of say defending such accusations. Also feel Babs had a good point here (https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=111921967&postcount=799) about Lucy which co-incidentally Lucy did not respond to when she next posted.

    Liam: Liam didn’t question why I voted for him and that’s one of the reasons I didn’t change my vote from him yesterday. Could be a wolf tactic to avoid become the center of people’s attention as I’d then highlight why I voted for them, which apart from him not questioning it was that he was a low poster (hiding maybe) who seemed to only be posting to explain his voting on wagonable people early (Patrick for no voting, then Oisin for as he put it appointing himself the leader of the village) which again is wolfy in my eyes. Not much has changed since then but explained away his innactivity with a post as he voted for another imo easy target in Phil.

    Pat: The next place has the challenge... huh... seemed very definitive and didn't respond first time questioned on it but when asked again rolled it back to being guess work. Also suggested no lynching in essentially his first post but didn't do so himself instead voting Conor (now confirmed Good but hindsight and all). Later he also jumped in with a riddle answer without consensus even though it was not his own suggestion (It was Phils) .... thinks he's being ignored and says " If I'm being ignored from the conversation why should I follow your arbitrary rules. I may as well ignore them and enjoy myself until I get lynched? " Is that a threat or him excusing going rogue more in advance? either way not a fan of his behavior even if I don't think I will be voting that way as things stand


    plenty of time for me to change this before voting time though. Afterall only 1 name remains from the FFA I did yesterday (That of the person I voted for)

    Could the answer be “true”


    When the Romans counted the entirety of their whole army, their sum was greater than the value of this.

    I’m going to replace WE/OUR for Romans and THEM for the army

    When WE counted the entirety of THEM, OUR sum was greater than the value of THEM

    So this statement is true?

    Afternoon folks, I see the puzzle is still distracting us. Can I suggest that we get a third answer out and then put it away for the day since we have other priorities, or at very least agree a cutoff point where we stop focusing on it

    For what it’s worth, I suggested the solution below last night. It would be good if people could give some thoughts on it: it makes sense to me but I’m a bit to close to it to see any flaws.

    Rewrite this as

    When the Romans people who use letters as numbers counted the entirety of (their whole army), their sum was greater than the value of this.


    So, assign a number to each letter in the phrase “their whole army” based on a 1-26 system, sum all those numbers up, then subtract 1 to get this

    Haven’t worked out what it gives us yet though


    Angus WW wrote: »
    Following the logic above our puzzle solution is 179 I think
    Their =60
    Whole=63
    Army=57
    Sum =180
    Subtract 1 =179

    What do people think?

    I prefer my answer, I think it’s likely to be something simple

    But I’d agree to go with an answer quickly and be wrong than spend the day at it

    How about whichever of the above two options has the most thanks by 1.30 we go with?

    Why are you replacing WE/OUR with Romans?

    I think both answers are way too convoluted.

    You have to look at it from the perspective of whoever created the riddle. They begin with the conclusion and build the riddle around it.

    That’s kinda what I was doing with my answer

    I believe the answer will be something simple

    my few re the romans:

    When the Romans counted the entirety of their whole army, their sum was greater than the value of this.

    1. 0: taking the army as a whole unit this would be 1, which is greater than 0
    2. the army: the romans counting + the army is greater than the army

    and quite possibly these answers have been put forward by others already

    Maybe we’ll extend this out to 2pm for the thanks. It only seems to be Oisin around

    Oisin - in the absence of another guess that you like can you thank one of the posts, move us on from these puzzle and back to wolves

    re barbara above from brenadan.

    I don't like this from Lucy. It seems a bit of an attempt to clear anyone who voted for Conor, to shift attention to those who voted for Patrick.

    Clear may to too strong a word here, perhaps excuse those who voted for Conor.

    it wasnt an attempt to clear conor voters, but to get the reasons for the patrick voters. he did have 4

    There is going to be a delay getting to the next location because the laptop I use has **** battery life and died on me. Charging up in work is going to be problematic. I'll have to fly home to use my home PC. So bare with me.

    The reason for my voters was obvious. Conor latched onto me randomly and the others was because fo my no lynch suggestion. Ironically those who voted no lynch are not being looked at, but meh, that would be too logical.

    Of course, I lost half of the people voting for me. I only had 4, one was Conor and it was going to either be me or him.

    I am an easy target for he core group to either vote for on keep on hold until they need someone easy to lynch so it's not one of them.

    Logically speaking one of the top 6 contributors will be a wolf. I'll be oting at 8:55 so I can't be accused of trying to influence people.

    I'm not sure I see your logic here. You seem to have replaced both 'their army' and 'this' with the word them... also how would you account for 'their army' being different from 'their sum'

    Could you explain more?

    Now that said, I'm all out of ideas (unless the answer is the word fraction) so I'm happy to go with the plan of making a guess of some sort early on so we don't waste the whole day on it.

    Not that I would be clearing/excusing anyone else myself (unless you somehow know who is and isn't a wolf), you get that only explaining things when it's highlighted that you ignored (actually let's be nice and say missed) commented made about / directed at you doesn't look great, right?

    Don't worry about it dude, can always just let us get to the next destination a little faster to compensate once your back up and running.

    I replaced their army and this with THEM to make it read that they could both be referring to the same thing. I know it’s a stretch

    My head is wrecked by it and it is a distraction to me so I'd rather someone guessed to put it to bed for the day. I get too caught up in these things. I agree with you/whoever said it'll be blindingly simple when we get the answer but for now it escapes me.
