Mentioned this briefly before. Ike briefly had 3 votes, but this was only
before Yvanoff switched off him in 48. Dedonus (who is an excellent vote counter generally and an asset to the WW community) accidentally recorded Panzer's vote for IH as being for Ike. Too many 'I' names.
2. Caillean -- On day 1, brought Yvanoff the villager to 4 votes, effectively removing Ike from contention. On day 2, initiated the Marshmallow rally, to the benefit of Grimlock. Your opinion of Caillean depends on how you find Grimlock and Caillean.
6. Arkasas -- Was voted by Culann day 2. Has otherwise been quiet. Not impossible this was some weird alibi shenanigan, but seems less than likely.
7. Chieron -- Cast a vote for IH day 1, which worked to the benefit of Ike, and lazily glommed onto the MM bandwagon day 2 causing me to vote him... ...but then turned around and cast a key vote for Culann the wolf. Not impossible this was an alibi vote, but think there are better places to look for the lycanthropically inclined.
8. aedan777 -- Cast a standard Aedan vote day 1 on Arky, then argued for both Randy and Grimlock day 2, voting Randy for not breaking the Yvanoff-Ironhide TIE. Aedan is notoriously difficult to pin down, so I don't know how useful speculation is here. Should never be considered above suspicion, but not really my top choice.
9. Ironhide G1 -- Yeah, that day 2 Culann vote came at a pretty clearing time. Would be quite surprised if he's evil.
10. Captain Grimlock -- Had a relatively late throwaway vote day 1 against Randy, leading to him getting a bit of attention yesterday. Attention in itself isn't clearing though, as the rapid vote-switch onto our local Marshmallow was widely decried as being somewhat suspect. Grimlock himself parked his vote on MM, staying mum during the switch to Culann.
11. Dedonus -- Prevented a Yvanoff/Ironhide TIE day 1 that would most likely have killed 2 villagers, then decried the switch to MM, recommending Panzer the villager as an alternative. I agree that Dedonus has demonstrated general concern for the welfare of the village, but don't know if I'd go all the way to calling him clear -- I've definitely broken TIEs and called for voteswitches as a wolf. Still, plenty of better candidates.
12. the_hdk -- Cast a throwaway against Wagon day 1, then was part of the anti-Grimlock train yesterday. Is usually quiet and rarely explains his votes much, but doesn't mean he's not paying attention, and gets mislynched a bunch. Is voting me now for throwaways. Basically a blank slate so far this game. My general policy is to give him the general benefit of the doubt... ...until all the people sketchier than him are dead.
13. Emperor Ike as Jason from that one movie -- Ike gets mislynched a LOT. Easy scapegoat. Should view attacks against him with some skepticism. Still... he fell out of contention in favor of 2 villagers day 1, and was, as Marshmallow pointed out, by far the sketchiest of the Marshmallow voters. Now he's voting Deodnus because Dedonus voted Panzer and now Panzer's hunted? Why would wolves hunt someone they think they can have lynched?
15. Marshmallow Marshall as The Marshmallow Defender -- Loud persecutor of Yvanoff the Villager day 1 for making a TIE with almost 2 hours until deadline. Followed Aedan's reasoning against Grimlock... ...and picked up a whole bunch of votes for loudly persecuting Yvanoff the villager. Too many votes too fast. I had suspected an Ike-Marshmallow connection, but this is heavily undermined by Marshy's anti-Ike vote today. Has been very active and clear about where he stands, and is generally less sketchy than the people that voted him.
16. Randakar -- One never really knows with Randy. Still, he's active and nice to have around, so the bar of proof for a case should be pretty high imo.
As for me, I thought Chieron was the sketchiest of the MM banwagoneers (Ike always being sketch), and proposed him as an alternative vote-switch target, basically posting at the same second as Panzer. Then I had to go to work. No one took me up on it. A throwaway by definition I suppose, but not really a throwaway in spirit. Would I look better if I had voted Grimlock or MM?
Suppose I should vote too. I agree heartily with Aedan and Marshmallow about the sketchiness of Emperor Ike... ...but also know that Ike gets mislynched so I feel some caution may be warranted. Grimlock got a bunch of attention yesterday... but him getting attention is what triggered the MM sketch bandwagon. Sometimes candidates get a lot of votes because they're good candidates and not for nefarious reasons. Don't know if I really want to run him up again...
Caillean helped keep Ike out of the lead with her day 1 Yvanoff vote, and was the one who began the anti-MM (and pro-Grimlock) push yesterday. And she hasn't had any attention yet. Lynching her could provide good intel about Ike and Grimlock.
