[WW] Thin's be stirrin' up again in Werewolville! [GAME OVER] WEREWOLVES WIN
- Thread starter ravenvii
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
OK, next game please give Twietee the benefit of the doubt and don't vote him off immediately.
I doubt we will get people to switch to a majority so I'll end the voting.
Twietee.
it appears you were exactly two minutes late with your generous offer, but we will keep your volunteering in mind at the next voting session.
"It's not mine! I was attacked in the woods and woke up in those clothes!"
The villagers paid Twietee no mind, clamoring "gypsy!" and "werewolf!" as Twietee was dragged to the hangman's platform.
As Twietee wept and shouted his innocence, the hangman tied the nook around his neck and unceremoniously kicked him off the edge of the platform.
Unexpectedly his body popped off and dropped to the ground, his head soon following, rolling across the ground.
Scattered laughter at the botched hanging receded into horror and shame as Twietee remained a human.
Twietee has been hung, and is a villager.
It is now NIGHT. Specials, you know what to do.

is exactly why I hate deadlines. This is the type of play I love to see. Deadlines encourage people to just throw their votes in, then come back close to the deadline and see where things fell. This isn't the way I like the game to be played. This is just my personal opinion -- others can feel differently, and I'm fine with that. But I'm running the game, after all.

Twietee, I am sorry. Events fell badly for you - and I hadn't realised that at one point another candidate (who was possibly equally innocent) also had accumulated a number of votes.
Next time, hopefully, you will last until at least the second day. Maybe longer.
To the rest of us, we have three WWs and seven who are not WWs. Not great odds for the village. So, maybe some thought might go into whose name is put forward tomorrow, assuming - that is - that the night is without incident.

Sythas has successfully lied in past games about his role. At this point, everyone should be considered a suspect.
i agree, as well as Tomorrow, SS, and DP too...
they all voted for twietee, that's all we have for now.
Actually, the record will show that I voted for Sythas first, and changed after he suggested he was a special.
Yes, Sythas may well have lied, but when someone suggests that they are a special, it is sheer bloodymindedness to persist in voting for them just because they might have been lying. If, however, they are telling the truth, and get hanged despite having intimated that they are a special, that indicates that a bandwagon of breathtaking stupidity, and a death wish on the part of the village. For now, until further evidence of one sort or another emerges, it is necessary to give Sythas the benefit of the doubt, because to do otherwise, is nothing but perverse.
If anyone should be suspect, it is those who have remained under the radar, people such as rick here, who post, vote and vanish, failing to contribute to evolving discussions. QoS has also been unusually quiet. Past history has indicated that those who post seldom, and vote for an individual who receives no other votes, often merit further scrutiny. At least, that has been my experience in this world.
Nobody knew who anyone was this first turn so any first turn voting should not be considered (i.e. first turn voting for Twietee means nothing).
----------
In general I agree with you but, how many games lately have we been burned by someone lying and everyone saying that we can't risk killing a special. Sometimes, we have to call their bluff even though we could be wrong. This may be one of those times.
not really under the radar, just day two here...and the first day i was working ( i work 24 hour shifts).
AND i know from the past the more you talk the more you get voted for, at least with my past.
Since when does the person with the most votes get killed off? Err... I mean have fun everyone!

i agree that Sythas should be given an initial benefit of the doubt in terms of being who he claims to be, but not a blind one. he is still a suspect, just a bit less than anyone else.
as far as the voting pattern on day 1, it gives us exactly zero information, as nobody, not even the wolfies, knew anything about anyone else.
if twietee turned out to be a WW, people who voted for him could still as likely be WWs, because they wouldn't have known.
that said, since we have 10 people and 3 WW, it is statistically likely that 1-2 of those who voted for twietee are wolves
also, people should keep in mind that the dynamic of voting (and vote changes) is different with or without deadlines.

Sythas has in the past lied very well to the detriment of the village. I'm not sure how you can claim he's less of a suspect then anyone else.
I am not claiming he is 'not a suspect', but IMO it edges the possibility a little in his favor. Right now there is in almost nothing to go on. this is not a lot, but it is not nothing.
everyone in this has lied at some point, it is part of the game. But it does not mean that it is done most of the time.
As the captain walked through the forest, the shroud of fog followed.
The Pirate de Leon is no longer the captain that sailed his ship to this land. He is now a massive wolf, walking on two legs as the forest turns into death around him.
A person has caught his scent. So strong was the scent that it caught the captain's nose a mile away.
As he snarled and bared his teeth at the ever-present scent, the captain broke out into a clearing, his legs tensed for a leap.
But he paused. It was not a person at all. It was another like him.
The other werewolf has a arrow sticking out of his left arm, and had a slight limp. He has attacked, and failed. The captain snarled.
The captain shall be the captain still. Of the pack...
The other werewolf snarled back in defiance.
... After a battle easily won. The captain leaped with a roar.

There were no deaths last night. It is now DAY. 10 remain; 5 is the majority vote.

Very interesting. Very, very interesting. So, nobody died last night, despite WWs prowling. And yet, a bandaged, limping, bloodied creature tried and failed to launch an assault? I wonder who the intended victim might have been? Might it, indeed, have been the very person who so narrowly escaped the gallows only yesterday? I confess to being mightily curious.
One of the things that many WWs have done in the past is post a single, irrelevant vote on the first day or so, along with a single, brief, post, hoping it gets hidden in the rough and tumble of the day, and succeeds in its purpose of not drawing too much attention to the culprit. It usually does work, and sometimes works rather well. Indeed, it is an old tried and tested tactic, one I have used myself on occasion, and works to best effect when there are large numbers to mask it, as well as masking the fact that you are not posting much.
As such, people such as rick and Queen of Spades strike me as meriting further suspicion. In fact, in this case, I'll trust Sythas's instincts. Normally, I detest bandwagons, but here, I'll concede that my suspicions have been thoroughly aroused. Queen of Spades it is.

It was no sneaky strategy - and those of you that have played with me know I detest that silent, don't post at all style. I've just been away celebrating my college reunion with friends, and didn't get to log on at all yesterday. Today I happen to be nursing quite a hangover, so here I am.
Ever since I had that streak of good games as a wolf, I'm usually under suspicion very early, so I'm not surprised or perturbed, but I'd advise you to look elsewhere.
And Scepticalscribe, you've played with me enough to know not posting at all is not my style. Jumping on Sythas' seemingly random vote with thin reasoning strikes me as suspicious.

hmm, jump on the QOS bandwagon?? i should because she always votes for me ...
or is SS trying to bring my name up because i am easy target?
not going bandwagon yet...although my vote for SS could start another. just a retaliatory vote for now.

I could point out that QoS was the last to join and pointed out that she might be slightly out of pocket, that its a major holiday weekend here in the 'States, and her tale of a reunion makes perfect sense - but then I'd be accused of being in league with her.
I'm withholding my vote for the time being.

Believe me, it is a very bad idea for the village to vote for me. You don't want to do it. A very, very bad idea. For the village, that is.
Actually, you have played with me enough to know that I don't like sneaky underhand stuff, and I became fed up with those who post once and vanish.
Back to this world, what I will say is that I received a message from the Seer on Night One and that message informed me that said Seer intended to scan the second person who didn't vote in the very first tally. Check out post 24.
I'm also curious that the two I find suspicious - and this is now the third time I have mentioned this - are rick and QoS; it strikes me as most interesting that both of you post while voting for me in rapid succession.
Rick I mention yourself simply because you are suspicious; rather than easy. Believe it or not, it is not the same thing, and 'easy' is not how I would describe you.

After driving back to Ohio yesterday evening and driving around all day, I have finally found some time to post.
Sad to see our friend Twietee so violently extinguished. Our community barbecue will be a little less happy this Memorial Day weekend. Maybe next time, pal.
I will also abstain from voting for a little while yet. I just wanted to check in to say that I will be a bit busy the next couple days, but will do my best to stay up to speed.

Interesting happenings with the no kill and then some of SS revelations.
Shall we assume that hunter protected Sythas (who claimed he was a special) and the wolves tried to off him?
Interesting first 4 votes. Why's everyone going after the ladies??
I'm going to start with a vote for WoodNUFC again - no real reason, but I'm not going to jump on either bandwagon right now. I'd like to see where some other votes fall.
