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

[Scepticalscribe]

Tomorrow. This may change because he's been active and may have a solid (e.g., Non-Intell) defense, which I hope he will tender. Also, I hate bandwagoning on people just for the sake of bandwagoning. It's lonely, walking on my own whilst everyone else parties it up on the 'wagon, but there tis. Plus up the bandwagon it's all cheap tequila and beer pong... as you know my companion is a bottle of single malt.


@Scepticalscribe I'd play devil's advocate and offer my experience of being a minor wolf/k a few years ago to a team of canines Aggie was leading. He infected on the last day to reach majority, somehow putting everyone off until then. As the villagers dwindled it meant significantly less chance of risking a loss for our team. Not saying you're wrong, just counterpoint.

@Queen of Spades BUT YOU JUST GOT BACK!

I see what you are saying, and it is a fair point, (although DP takes a different line…..)

Well, the planning of and successfully executing the use of the infection is always a balancing act: You need to look at the two main variables of when to infect and who to infect, and then, there is the gamble of failing because the target has been protected that night.

Actually as an alpha some time ago, I had the experience of failing to execute an infection, as my planned target was under some timely protection that particular night. Despite that, my sympathy for rick remains……minimal.

If the infection is in play, the alpha can endure exposure with composure, knowing that they have done their worst and that - with us down to 13 in all, - with the murder of Queen - they number almost a third of the total. That is going to be hard to counter, and we will need to start scoring some degree of success in the successful identification of wolves from now on.

...there's nothing quite as sickening than missing a one-time action in ANY role.

So we make a list of high suspects, reason it out (que Señor Panic), and then watch voting. Up the pressure and see where it leads.

...if all else fails, I can just make more Rick Snagwell memes and we go out with a laugh.

 

[Tomorrow]

My desire to inform by subtle hints rather than blatantly outing myself has failed in this game. Time for my proverbial "blaze of glory."

Intell most likely used his Amplifier skill to save himself - an option that was not given any thought publicly.

Plutonius is a werewolf, and he's also the Swapper. So there's no real telling what might happen from here forward, except to say that I am most likely going to end up his snack tonight.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

Plutonius.

And - by way of support - I can offer confirmation for the authenticity of the fact that the Scan occurred and that this was the target.

And, I might add, that this would have been an ideal - no, perfect - time to invoke the use of the Hunter's power. And yes, rick, I'm looking at you.

 

[Melrose]

@Tomorrow That's the kind of info I'm talking about. It now brings previous voting patterns into play.

Plutonius. ...I have to admit I made this mistake in the last game when Sythas was the Seer, and it cost the village the game. I also see no reason why Tomorrow would risk his life.

I think you'd be safe, actually. Sceptical's protection ends today.

Agreed. But the possible use of the swapping power is a source of…….some unease.

Tomorrow should be protected as far as possible.

Oh. And rick. Remind me again. Did I already have occasion to rebuke you for the wanton waste of a power that you borrowed and then threw away uselessly because you wished to teach me a lesson?

Well done, Tomorrow.

And Pluto, et tu Brute?? Taking out QOS??

Regarding the Swapper power, I guess we just have to wait to see how it plays out, but at least we know it's in play.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

While it is a good idea to reveal quite a bit of information, I also think that one or two individuals - unless they feel an imperative need to come out with what they have - should - perhaps - stay concealed for now.

Our friends, the furries, may also have a kami power which has yet to be unleashed. It doesn't necessarily do to let them know everyone who should be a target.

And, there are other powers which - if they have been distributed, and are in play - it might do no harm to contemplate the useful and timely deployment of.

 

[Don't panic]

plutonius it is then.

i have to read back to catch up with the events, but the blocker on plutonius could come up handy right now.
if we have it, do it publicly so its effect is instant.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

The time rapidly approaching when it is vitally important to think strategically about what powers individuals may have, and how these can best be utilised for the active advantage of the village, or for the negation of certain WW powers.

The 'time' powers - if in play, most certainly could have uses. Likewise, - unless Tomorrow is 'Swapped' before being murdered - this is a good time for the Necromancer to think about how powers might best be deployed. If not, he should be protected.

Agreed. The use of the Blocker power could also be useful…….

 

[Don't panic]

as far as the infection, it is night only, which is why it would be used early-ish.
in the old games it would be anytime, so it would be best to save it as long as possible, ideally to close a game, so to minimize the chances that the infected is detected.
now that strategy is very risky, because it could cost the chance to use it at all.
for example if plutonius was the alpha (is he?) and they didn't use it before, a successful lynching would deny the wolves that option

 

[Scepticalscribe]

No mention that he was the Alpha in the report of the scan; no mention of an identified Kamikaze either.

I suspect - although this will not be clear until details of the scan have been confirmed - that this was the third WW, equipped with an extra power, that of 'Swapping'.

I assume that they each have an extra 'power' in addition to their own Core WW role?

@Tomorrow,
can you confirm pluto is not the alpha nor the kami?
this is important, because if he is the 'third' wolf, it means none of the WW exclusive powers would be in play. a big deal both because those are all good powers for the WWs, and a boon information-wise, as it reduces the role pool.
it would also mean that the bluff could not be in play, which leaves the soother to explain intell's escape.

if intell was the amplifier, i don't see a way he could have used that power to save himself in that way. a pity in fact he didn't use the power at all to try to enhance the village's chances before he croacked.

 

[FenrisMoonlight]

Interesting events to wake up too. Tommorrow is backed up by SS so I guess it has to be pluto

Note: 1 more to majority lock - once locked he's considered dead and that would have the same affect as blocking him?

 

[Comeagain?]

I guess I'm hopping on the pluto bandwagon, not that I think it's a bad plan.

i think it's up to twietee, since there could be other power plays that might still save him, so probably no, unfortuantely

 

[Don't panic]

majority reached.
if no other powers are at play, we should have gotten our first wolf.

plutonius: 7 (tomorrow, scepticalscribe, melrose, deontpanic, moyank, fenris, comeagain)
anjinha: 2 (sythas, ravenvii)

 

[FenrisMoonlight]

That makes Pluto majority locked.

Majority Lock reached: Post: 666 Comeagain? majority locked Plutonius

Votes

Plutonius: 7 Tomorrow, Scepticalscribe, Melrose, Moyank24, Don't panic, FenrisMoonlight, Comeagain?
anjinha: 2 Sythas, ravenvii

Yet to vote: rick snagwell, Plutonius, anjinha, TechGod

Post 666 Comeagain? voted for Plutonius majority lock!

 

[Comeagain?]

Let's hope post 666 does us some good...

 

[Sythas]

I change to Plutonius, since majority lock can be volatile

 

[twietee]

Pluto the Brutal [WW] was stopped by the villagers of Wolfsmouth.

Plutonius: 7
anjinha: 2​

It is now Day Four. Send those orders!

Next deadline is Wednesday 01:00 PM EST

 

[Tomorrow]

@Tomorrow,
can you confirm pluto is not the alpha nor the kami?

The message I received was that he was a "werewolf."

I can confirm that I have also been swapped, my guess is that the WW pool now has the seer ability.

 

[Sythas]

Tomorrow, wich power did you received ? since pretty sure the ww kept the power to themself, they already knows that power.

 

[Tomorrow]

That would possibly reveal the the werewolves - of which you might be one - the identity of the new seer.

There's the possibility that I was swapped with someone else.
