So are we starting a new game thread or is this now going to be the game thread? Just curious if I need to be looking out for a new one.
Got a tip for us?

[WW] MRville VI: GAME OVER - VILLAGERS WIN
- Thread starter ravenvii
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
I think this will be the thread in which this game will be played. The game is starting at nightime (actions by good specials only) and ravenvii said the deadline is 8:30am (not sure which timezone he is in though) so I'm assuming he won't be making a new thread; he would have done so already.
Bloody hell, just woke up, figured I'd better post so as not to be voted for.
Personally I think with so many specials the vampire's leaching/immunity thing gives him a pretty freakin' big advantage. I'm thinking this game might be quite a slaughter but I guess we'll see.
why, you think he's going to doctor the data? when everybody is looking at it? i understand being suspicious is part of the game, but that is too much!
yes, it would help if in each narrative there the deadline time/date (and time zone) is clearly stated

haha it's working already!
As an ominous fog settled upon MRville, those of the town's residents who are sensitive to the psychic energies flowing through throughout the air are beginning to sense that something evil has arrived in town.
And that MRville is becoming a nucleus for those with powers beyond the normal realm of humanity. Something big is going to happen. The air tells two things. One is vague, but the other is not.
And it had one word; "werewolves."
It is now DAY. There are 14 players, so the majority is 8. The voting deadline is 9 PM EST on Friday.
GAME ON!

Sheesh. If it makes you feel any better, I've changed the permissions so that anyone with the link can edit the table.
In recent games I've been keeping my own voting record (see the last complex game) with some added annotations (see the addition of post number for votes). I volunteered to keep a record for this game because the person that has been maintaining the record in previous games isn't playing in this one (abjink).
Read into whatever you want, that's your right... but then it's completely my right to question why you didn't volunteer to keep a record of the votes before roles were assigned either? Trying to hide something?
Paranoia is a double-edged blade.. be careful how you choose to wield it.
Seems like no one wants to go first... don't blame you, I'm not prepared to vote yet either.
I'm just thinking that it might make sense to use that question ability early on, perhaps increasing our odds of picking off a baddie in the first few days?
I'll give my thought process on this:
- can't be infected until after three days has passed, therefore for the time being the question asked is for sure a well-intentioned one and not one subject to manipulation by possible infection.
- as an outed and confirmed Villager, the Priest would not be a likely target for infection because of their exposure. At the very least, they are immune to infection for up to three game days even after asking their question (is that correct, Ravenvii?).
Since every villager is in some way special, each wrong lynching hurts us even more... therefore I would like to avoid voting randomly as much as possible.

Because he tried to murder me in the simple game even though I was the Night watch back then, Rodimus Prime
ouch so much hate. But for the record I was a villager in that game. Plus you beat me to the first vote. I was coming back from lunch and I figure I was going to vote first. Oh well I will put the third vote of the game in.
As for my vote I am going for Cboss He seems a little quiet for my taste and it always seems to be the quite ones.
He's brand new to these games, he doesn't make a post within the first few hours and suddenly he's suspect? Don't give a BS reason for a random vote.
well I mostly choose because I had not seen him post in the previous 5 or pages or so. Also I wanted someone from the bottom part of the list.
Best reason I got for a first round vote.
Why does that matter? Several people only have a sign-up post.
Why does this matter?
Stonyc. I don't have any real evidence, but I don't like his ultimatum with the voting record. If he had done this before roles were assigned, I would bat an eye, but afterwards it's pretty suspicious.
the first vote is pretty much a random and arbitrary vote, no matter the stated reasons, simply because there is just no data to base an informed decision on.
the way to get information (apart a few of the special's abilities) is votes and posts.
As such, as stated earlier i will vote to those who seem to participate the least to the game. it is still obviously arbitrary (and basically random in terms of chances to get wolves) but if i have to 'lose' a villager, i'd rather lose one that contributes less in terms of possible useful infos.
There are obviously many reasons to not post, some good and some less good, One of them is applying a 'wait and see' approach that keeps a low profile and is usually quite effective in not getting tagged with votes. also, it's most effective for badguys.
therefore i'll cast my first (and temporary: i am certainly willing to change it if 'real' reasons arise, including getting a majority) vote for ibookG4user, who is currently the longest 'post-absentee' of the players

...ultimatum?
Please explain.
Here is the post history regarding the voting record, excluding one post where Don't panic thanked me.
Where was there an ultimatum except to follow the rules of the game regarding post-death interaction?
So far chrmjenkins, Don't panic and I have been the only ones since the game actually started to post without casting a vote. In fact, I asked a question that still has yet to be answered regarding the Priest using their question ability. I stated my reasons for starting the voting history document, I made modifications to the permissions when the issues were addressed, and I changed the editing privileges. If that makes me suspicious, so be it.
Why are you so quick to cast aspersions on someone who was trying to provide a service to the game when the player who normally provides that service in the game isn't playing in the game? Like I posted before, read into the timing of my post what you will, that is your right... but paranoia is a two-edged blade. If there is anyone who is acting suspiciously in this thread, it's you appleguy123.
Please explain.

Is this what you're talking about? That would be me starting the document, and then noting that I wouldn't update the voting record once dead... which would kind of be like, I don't know... following the post-death rules of the game, perhaps?
Fair enough, fixed in the next post.
See? Fixed.
Again, fair enough.
Fixed by you. Then... blergh?
Agree.why, you think he's going to doctor the data? when everybody is looking at it? i understand being suspicious is part of the game, but that is too much!
Fixed the editing permissions so that anyone could modify the document... that's not okay?Sheesh. If it makes you feel any better, I've changed the permissions so that anyone with the link can edit the table.

i think you are way offtrack here.
he might turn out to be a baddie, but certainly not because he's offering a useful service to the village
Wow, six votes in the first round have been cast and each is for a different player. That's never happened before in a complex game.

This thing about everyone having an ability sure is making voting difficult. With 14 players, 5 being a baddie of some kind, the odds of voting off a good guy are really stacked against us. Hmm...

Recall, that out of those 5 baddies, they lean with the villagers vote for their own purposes. Example, for the vampires to get rid of the wolves they have to vote with the villagers and look for them. Same with the wolves when hunting vampires.
So in a sense, it's 3-2 baddies overall.
I'd like to add that although I disagree with appleguy's logic, his insistence that I had an ulterior motive in starting the voting history did lead me to changing the editing permissions so that anyone could update the voting history. Has more of a communal effort feel to it, I think.
I'd change my vote, if someone can give me a reason other than randomosity. The first vote is basically random, so any logic at all is better than picking a random person.
I may not agree with the reasoning that you based your vote on against me (which is why I voted for you), but that's more than can be said of some of the other people so far. In that respect, I can't fault you.
Been thinking the same myself, particularly the bolded. I wish we had more players because the ratio is pretty steepy in the favour of baddies.
It may help if the Priest can out himself by getting the prayer started while the immunity is still on. Remember to ask your yes or no question wisely. (sure hope jav isn't the priest based on previous discussions about this.
) Man, (willbro) you really threw me with the name change. I was like "who the crap are you, n00b? All thinking you can decide to vote or not as a non-player."
But really, the first vote always sucks and abstaining is really kind of a BS move (or non-move, really). Please just make a decision. If we're making a bad lynch choice, hopefully the accused will defend themselves. A fair few of the good players have an ability that can be proven at some wise point of the game. Though the abilities should of course not be squandered. Also, if someone is outright lying about their role, the person who really has the role will know and that lie will essentially seal their fate as guilty and worth lynching.
I'm voting for Rodimus Prime. I don't have a lot to go on, of course, but I don't like the idea of voting off a new player so quickly. We need new players to keep these games going. Plus I know if we're making a mistake, Rodi will speak up. I'll of course change my vote if it's a mistake, possibly to
Yeah it seems people are jumping on me for picking a newbie. I voted that way as both a place holder vote and figure it would be someone that would not get a full swing but with 2 people jumping on me for it (you iBlue and chrmjenkins) it pushed me it is time to change it.
That and lbro (wilbro) refusing to vote and name change just does not sit right with me. The name change really does not sit well with me. It is almost like he is trying to make us play the newbie card on him. Hence the vote change
