[WW] Knee-Deep in the Dead - WOOF WOOF WEREWOLVES WIN

Scepticalscribe said:
In the waning light of a great any posts I have made over the years where I have muttered darkly about mornings and written about the joys of nocturnal writing, thinking and researching, I think that if I said that I cheerfully leap out of bed chirruping lark-like, anyone who knows me would immediately seek to take my temperature placing a careful hand on what they suppose can only be a fevered brow…….

However, my argument about DP stands. It is far too soon to consider lynching or otherwise offing the person who may well be the village's best strategist and analyst. Let us stay our hand on that for now.

thank you, ma'am :)
i happen to agree with you on the opportunity of gifitng me a necktie so early on (or ever, really).:D

however the day (night) is young, there is still 19 of us in this village so i am hoping a few will convene that it might be wiser to keep me around as wolf-bait for the night (day?) or as an (unjustly!!! let me repeat: unjustly.) obvious gallows premiere inductee from day 3 and on
 
Don't panic said:
so a night lynching is a novelty, are day/night just reverted? is it going to be like this the entire game?
does this affect the day/night abilities/powers?
i assume that as far as rules are concerned 'day'=lynching period and 'night'=WW killings, scans etc.?

Yes, solely a cosmetic change due upcoming narratives/story. It will be consistently like that the whole game.

To avoid confusion (old habits die slow) I didn't change the OP/roles descriptions but just realized that there are eventually some newbz. Your call, I can rewrite the rules to adjust to that (Night-time only becomes day-time only and vice versa, etc. pp.).

nah, changing everything would make it even more confusing.
just put a large bolded quick reminder in the OP that the narrative inverts them but that for the game things stay the usual.

however, i will switch night and day in the spreadsheet
 
You go away for a weekend and when you come back find someone has wrecked the place. Who's to blame for the hideous new layout?! Can we lynch them instead of randomly picking a victim the first night?! Otherwise with a lack of any evidence currently I'm going to delay making any decision. no vote

Don't panic said:
EDIT: as I feared, the new look makes it a pay to quickly scan for bolded votes, as there is a lot of visual clutter in the way

Agreed! Its also broken my vote counting script :(

that's too bad, i was hoping you'd re-debut it.
i would think it should be relatively easy to fix, though
 
A rhetorical, or other question: Viewing DP's table, - and I must make a note of the votes for myself , by pen and on paper - I feel compelled to inquire whether Tomorrow has been the person who has been voted off the most times on the first day? I ask this merely by way of idle, disinterested and dispassionate curiosity?

Again, with 19 names, I am sure we can cast nets a little more widely than DP or Tomorrow…….

i voted tomorrow just to follow on my "keep calm.." sign from earlier on.
i am perfectly fine to switch to someone else.
except myself, of course. :D

I agree... And, if Twietee used a truly random thing in assigning wolves then statistics tell us it's foolish to single him out. but with two votes he still hasn't offered a rebuttal.

Or is it too early for rebuttals?

speaking rebuttals...

Don't panic said:
in any case, i already see some bottom-hurt boys scurrying around, looking for revenge in unlikely places ;).
well, well, well, it is all precious informations for the village... :D

"bottom-hurt" ....now that's just insulting. You further demean those noble truth-seeking villagers by using euphemistic PG language. :p

i am not sure what kind of rebuttal you are looking for, since we are at the very beginning of day one, but(t):
  • i am not a wolf
  • i think i can be of help to the village
  • there is a current of thought that purports that wolfies would want to get rid of me. if that is correct, then why make their job easier and have them save a night kill to be used on someone else?
  • if i am so likely to be dangerous, i would also be likely to be scanned, and thus, if i am a wolf (which i am not) i would be easily exposed.
  • let's not bandwagon on just a couple of names from the beginning. spread the wealth and potentially put some wolves under pressure. there is time to converge on fewer names later on.
  • this is not 'helping' me, but statistically i have the exact chance of being a WW then everyone else. past games have no influence either way

DP, I have no intention of voting for you - not on Day (or Night?) One and I have every intention of supporting you as strongly as possible for the next day or so as to lose you so early (if you are a villager) would be borderline asinine not to mention quite suicidal. And doubtless scans may be of assistance.

I think that - to some extent - this may be - a carryover from the last game taking the form of getting in a belated retaliation & retribution first and possibly missing the point - completely - by so doing.

In any case, let us prod and poke around a little longer, and see what we can unearth.

yeo, there is probably plenty of time.
i say "probably" because the posted deadline is anything but clear to me :D

i am assuming it is sometimes tomorrow, but then again could it be in two days? or nights?

10:00 pm CET and 16:00 pm CEST are incompatible i think, unless by 10:00 pm CET it was meant 10:00 am EST.

time seems to be on a wild ride this game :D

Okay: Twietee, my friend, oh, all powerful GG, could you please give us a slight heads up on when Proposed Deadline Time, with helpful hints as to when that might be for GMT (or BST)…..might be scheduled to occur.

While I have plenty of time tonight to chat and shoot the proverbial breeze, tomorrow will be quite busy, (not least because I shall expect the delivery of a splendidly expensive and beautifully made office computer chair - made to order - by the Klober company of Germany…)
 
Don't panic said:
maybe by 16:00 pm he means 4 am ? :)

He is in Europe, as I am.

A deadline scheduled for 04.00 would mean a GG who believes in vicarious suffering at least as much as those in his universe who kill, get hunted or get killed as part of their daily occupation and day-to-day lives...…….

Let us hope for clarification in due course……..

The other two times match up - 15:00 PM BST == 16:00 PM CEST and are approximately 24 hours after the initial post so I'd assume the 10:00 PM CET is wrong. As DP says if the other time was meant to be 10 AM EST that would make sense and means the night is going to end at 7AM here in LA.

i know, i was just jesting on the inaccuracy of using "pm" with 24 hours notation.
 
lol, sorry. you yanks and aussis with thatt am/pm nonsense ;)...always confusing me.

Should be 4 PM CEST, 3 PM BST and 10 AM EST

sorry for that.

CET was meant as EST (which is -6 to CEST). God even those sites get that wrong..
