Werewolf VI (the saga continues in a rather continuous way)

[mormegil]

I think there are two people that could say I'm a wolf and get away with it. You're one, of course, Fea the other would be Nilp.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Of course, now that the strategy's merit has been dissected, anyone could get away with it. Except me. ;)

I think the only strategy that would get you past day 1 is to not post at all...but wait then we'd find you suspicious based on that....and it would be only you that would get lynched for not posting on day 1.

But on a serious note I have no idea why they thought you suspicious enough to lynch. When I was saying that in this game I meant it.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I believed you were innocent Morm. But you're right; everything's so tricky in these games. Gil's exposed wolvery really made it clear (though for some reason you still attracted a little suspicion until near the end).

In Game 2 I made the bold move of 'declaring' Fordim's innocence after he was outvoted but before he was lynched. Pretty dangerous really, though in the end no-one picked me up for it. That act would look pretty good for a wolf wanting to hide among the innocents.

In fact, it's really tricky to defend anyone. Not just because it may appear wolvish, but also because you yourself don't really know anything (if you're ordinary) and you might delude yourself by repeating over and over again She's innocent. I believe her. I think I said something similar to that in the game which turned into a signature. :D

We know why I wanted to get Eomer lynched. It was fun being in the foreground of going after someone. I still need to practise the skill that some of you have naturally.....loud with substance and yet subtle! :D

Untrue. That particular strategy will now be looked for. I doubt many could pull it off though, even before. Of course, it's always worth a shot. See, in order for it to work, you have to have several experienced players on your side. It's all a matter of what cards you are dealt and how you choose to play them.

[littlemanpoet]

And it wasn't stupid to say "Fea's a wolf, you should lynch her" on the first day/first page of a brand new game where not only was I saying it, but I actually was a wolf?

People consistently underestimate the power of audacity. Also the ingenuity of fools. Seeing as how it's forbidden to show absolute proof of role (such as PMs), it truly would turn into he said/she said. After that, it's just a matter of who you trust more.

If one of the wolves had claimed Seership early on, when Oro was still suspect, it could have worked out quite nicely for them.

Except that if I were playing in the game, and still living, I would point out the obvious solution: lynch one or the other, and see which one was right. Granted, we might lose a seer that way, but we've identified a wolf; and one wolf identified is about the most one can expect from a seer before seer gets massacred by remaining wolves anyway, so your stooooopid strategy is a wash. :D

[mormegil]

But at least you take a seer down with you. Otherwise you'll get spotted. I would only have one wolf come forward and say I'm the seer, if I were going to do it. Saying that I'm the mytho/seer would be best.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Hey, my stooopid strategy of telling everyone I was a wolf multiple times ended up with the wolves winning, so :p. And before that, my stooopid strategy of saying "KILL LMP!!!!" ended up with you dying and the village winning. :D

And to be honest, you never know what strategy will work until you get into the game. And even then, it ends up changing. Isn't there a quote somewhere about how the best laid plans only last five minutes into battle?

Now now now. I didn't say those were stoooopid, only the one thing. So there. I'm still smarter than you. nyah nyah nyah. :p

Besides which, the mytho turned into a werewolf, which is why you guys won. There were no known innocents because there were no shirriffs who could take the initiative away from you depraved beasts.

I believe her. I think I said something similar to that in the game which turned into a signature. :D I was about to defend you when you were about to be lynched because even though I have no solid proofs, I was convinced you were innocent. But due to my weird time zone, it was too late.

On the other hand, it's really tricky to be so convinced that someone's a werewolf. Nilp was saying something to me in the lines of "If Gil is found to be innocent, you are so dead" after my *coughcough* controversial vote for him. It's a good thing he was actually a werewolf.
