WHOA!!!

We were right on both! :cool:


But what this means remains to be thought of.


Anyway: welcome Greenie and also Legate - and kudos to the Trapper!

Take a comfy chair- there is no Spanish Inquisition here.:)

Good job Greenie and Legate!

And the Beast Hunter for ignoring Nilp who I now think is a Wolf. NO wait, I'm confused...

Yeah no that works.

Nilp may not have been able to protect himself (if he is the BH), but he did kill a Wolf.

Loslote

So Greenie, you dreamed Nilp, Rikae, and Shasta innocent, right? Who was your dream last Night?

Nilp claimed he WAS the BH, and soft asked for the Ranger to protect him. His trap was always going on someone else. If Huin correct interpreted Greenie's list yesterDay, Nilp is probably one of our three known innocents.

Welcome to the Halls of Cassandra, Greenie.

I guess welcome, Legate? The protocol on welcoming the evil beasts that prematurely ended our Lives is yet to be established.

Perhaps death has cured you of your Curse and you shall now offer us all the information you can.

You know, to keep things sporting. ;) The poor Innocent side hasn't had a lot of breaks yet.

I'm pretty sure the Wolves thought it would be Legate, or why sacrifice him and not the NW?

Hi, Greenie! I really hope the remaining innocents spot/spotted your list post... That way we might stand a chance.

And hi, Legate! Don't worry, we're all friends here. Though if you feel like telling us who the rest of the pack are, that'd be grand. :D

Is Legate the NW? The wolves get to choose who gets caught in the trap, right? I'd assume they'd pick the NW.

The narration says there are 3 wolves (1 NW) left, so yeah, pretty sure he's not.

I think Greenie said she wanted to get a better READ on Legate. Or maybe it's just that she voted him.

I mean, I had Greenie pegged as a gifted, but I assumed ranger. Apparently the wolves noticed something I didn't.

........why would Sally think Greenie was the Ranger? Her Legate vote yesterDay looked pretty Seerish to me. I don't know that I believe this.

Nogrod

Echoing the very same question - though suspecting she's sleeping right now and we'll have to wait for the morning here in Finland.

But one wolf down basically buys one more Day. So good.

Although we (sic!) could have done this lynching Legate already on D2. :rolleyes:


This more or less confirms Nilp is an innocent (unless we read Greenie wrongly) and thus it only remains a question whether Nilp just pulled this all off as just a normal villager, or was he actually the BH who made this nice trap?

Loslote
06-10-2020, 04:16 PM
If I'm right about who Greenie dreamed and that Kath and Mac are Legate's packmates, then there's one wolf and one cobbler among:

Sally
Brinn
Pitch
Lommy

Although actually, I think the Seer sees the cobbler as an ordo, so the cobbler doesn't HAVE to be among these people. But at least one of them, more if I'm wrong about Kath and Mac, is definitely a wolf.

Huinesoron

Pleeeeease go back and read Greenie's posts, people! The list post is absolutely perfect and tells you everything (if, you know, I'm right).

And nicely done, my beloved! I'm proud of you! Now do it again tomorrow and we're halfway there!

?...? Any idea who she's talking to? The Beast Hunter is one-shot, so the only possible candidate is... well, the Mod!

My guess is, she doesn't realize the BH is a one hit wonder.

Loslote
06-10-2020, 04:20 PM
Also, Mac and Sally have not started talking about "who pushed the lynch away from Legate yesterDay" OR "who did Greenie dream?", and I think any innocent NEEDS to ask those questions asap toDay. I'm already very susicious of Mac, and I'm starting to think Sally might be a wolf or the cobbler.

Loslote
06-10-2020, 04:22 PM
Also we're obviously not discussing the game in our apartment but you guys should have heard Legate's hysterical maniacal laughter when he just opened the thread. :D

This (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=726678&postcount=357) was Greenie's Seer-post in my mind, and I misremembered: she said she intended to 'read through' Lommy, not Legate. So we may actually have a confirmed second wolf; I certainly hope so! It was indeed Nilp, Rikae, and Shasta innocent.

hS

Formendacil
06-10-2020, 04:27 PM
And considering that Form was the medium, I dare not imagine the amount of harsh language the dead aimed at the living yesterDay.

Well, he's not wrong...

Don't worry, Legate-wolf. Nienna* been reading along the whole game and was teasing me about the Dead thread for 48 hours, at least, so I understand in-home betrayal. ;)




*Nienna for the newer Downers (you know, anyone with less than, like, 8 years as a Downer) is Mrs. Formendacil, once a WWer, always a WW-lurker.

Nogrod
06-10-2020, 04:31 PM
We have to agree for some kind of mode for Greenie to send us her knowledge.
AND we should figure out how to communicate with Greenie in the dead thread.
So it starts again... :rolleyes:

Why don't they learn that is not going to work? It's just a waste of time they'd need to put in reading Greenie's posts to find what hS did so nicely.

Hello! And thank you for the very warm welcome and cooomfy chairs. Just here to say a quick hi, since I'm about to go to sleep - which means you'll have to wait with your questions for the morning. ;) (As will I have to wait for rereading your, I am sure, very interesting discussions here.)

If you want to point for my convenience (and Greenie's) some of the highlights of this thread, feel free to do so, it would be most welcome for us newcomers, I am sure!

I also am sure there's a lot I could discuss with each of you, but that all also has to wait. So, enjoy your guessing for several more hours, before I have time to respond all your questions in absolutely truthful and honest manner. :smokin:

Edit: Greenie and the narration, rather, since the latter is what says she saw a wolf.

Well, we spent all of yesterDay yelling that You, Mac, and Kath were packmates steering the lynch Form's direction, and throwing up our hands when the village just calmly went right along with it. :p Also, we did empower Brinn at least partially as a throwback.

It's seven pages, but basically all the posts are short - unlike in the Game Thread - so it's a quick read after all.

See you tomorrow (IRL)!

She'll read this herself, as long as she's not skimming for my posts only (which she did in the Live thread when there were chunks to catch). ;)

It's a rather quiet summer (at home, I mean!) and liable to quite Mootless, I'm afraid--but I'd rather live through the Great Pandemic of Our Times in the summer than the winter.

Agreed.

In the summer you can just get out somewhere. In winter it would be just the four walls around you day after day.


Well, if Lottie is right and I'm reading Greenie right, both of those quotes are from wolves...
Yeah. That possibility crossed my mind as well. :)


Anyway, it's good night from me as well (it's 1:40AM here).

Blind Guardian

Neither. ;)

Okay I'm confused.

Arch-rivals, who, through a series of hilarious and improbable events, wound up living together.

Nogrod
06-10-2020, 04:48 PM

They've been together like ten+ years, but are not married.

You know us weird Europeans who think marriage is just one conservative tradition that you might step into or not, but it is not something anyone requires or thinks of great general importance (except the super-conservatives and the sexual minorities, both for somewhat different reasons) - although any reason for a grand party is always nice.


EDIT: Actually rephrased the expression "of no importance" with "no great general importance". Just to not overexaggerate things. Anyway, let's not stick with this issue. Lottie answered the questions a lot better than I did.

Nogrod

Here's a wolf speaking!
Let's get the communication stuff out of the way before we get into the meat of things.

I think it makes more sense to communicate known wolves over known innocents. Obviously, though, we don't want the dead to turn a wolf into the medium.

What about:

If Brinniel is a wolf, empower Kath.
If Kath is a wolf, empower Mac.
If Macalaure is a wolf, empower Nilp.
If Nilpaurion Felagund is a wolf, empower Pitch.
If Pitchwife is a wolf, empower Rikae.
If Rikae is a wolf, empower Sally.
If satansaloser2005 is a wolf, empower Shasta.
If Shastanis Althreduin is a wolf, empower Lommy.
If Thinlomien is a wolf, empower Brinniel.

If you don't have a known wolf, empower no one.

There's of course a possibility that two wolves are adjacent in the alphabet, but what are you gonna do.
Let's hope no innocent takes this even half-seriously.

Loslote
06-10-2020, 05:03 PM
I'd be happy to empower Nilp if it tells the Living to kill Mac already. :mad: But yeah, that's a really annoying idea from a Dead perspective.

Loslote
06-10-2020, 05:29 PM
I like Rikae's analysis of Greenie's dreams a lot more than Brinn's.

Formendacil
06-10-2020, 05:47 PM
The fact that it is Mac suggesting a vote=Dead Reveal scheme may be reason enough for me to dislike it: enough that I think we shouldn't vote at all--IF the village is going to lynch a Wolf without our help.

Obviously, if they need us to tip them over, we should do that. But I find that I greatly dislike this "dictate to the Dead how to vote" idea,and if we are not needed, I think we should send a message that we will not be dictated to.

Good morning fellow corpses! :smokin:

So Greenie, you dreamed Nilp, Rikae, and Shasta innocent, right? Who was your dream last Night?
Yes -
Shasta (ordo) N1,
Nilp (beast hunter) N2,
Rikae (ordo) N3.

(Waiting for the living to figure this out. I thought I left enough of a clue to them in that list but looking at the confusion in the game thread obviously not :rolleyes:)

And (sigh) Legate N4.

Basically, I reread the entire thread during the Night (turns out it's much less of an undertaking when you can ignore half the people there!), went on full conspiracy theory mode and pretty much decided the remaining wolves are Mac, Kath, Legate and Lommy. I figured dreaming Legate would give me the best information on other people in case he did turn out innocent after all, but oh well. At least we don't have to worry about that. :p

Remaining:
Brinn
Kath
Lommy
Mac

Pitch

Of these there are 3 Wolves, 1 Cobbler, 1 Ranger, 1 Villager

Of the six remaining unknowns I'm up for saying Pitch is the Cobbler.

If Greenie is right then the Wolves are: Mac, Kath, and Lommy.

That leaves Sally and Brinn as the Ranger and a Villager.

Congratulations guys, we've done it! If they don't figure this out then I would like to suggest to BoroMod that our Medium whacks everyone across the face. :D No words, just a good old whacking.

(Also Boro if you Mod again I will write up the stories for you! I love writing!)

A Little Green
06-11-2020, 12:31 AM
And yeah, I think your conspiracy pack is very, very likely! I think so too, though I have to say after my reread my entire page of notes on the remaining unknowns was highlighted red (for likely wolf) :rolleyes:

I am somewhat sure about Lommy now though - the way she repeatedly criticises the Night kill and says something along the lines of "obviously the wolves think nothing like me", and the way Legate kept listing her as an innocent while vaguely saying it's just a gut feeling and he always trusts his gut feeling with Lommy (what an easy way to avoid suspecting a fellow!). And she'd fit in well with Kath too, saying she doesn't see where the suspicion of Kath comes from while agreeing that the argument against her makes sense, and saying Legate defending Kath looks weird but defending Kath herself in the same post :rolleyes: Incidentally Mac defends Kath too while agreeing that the argument against her makes sense. It's almost too tidy which makes me think I'm wrong about one of them and there's one wolf who's not tangled in this at all - namely Brinn, Pitch, or Sally. (Both Mac and Sally kept giving Brinn passes for weird reasons, btw, I'm not sure if it's a pattern or just coincidence though.)

Not that it's really my job to figure this out anymore :p

Also one more thing that I completely forgot to mention in my first post - if I dreamed the Cobbler I'd see them as an ordinary villager. So it's still possible that Shasta or Rikae is the Cobbler! I'm fairly sure Shasta isn't, and Rikae is a possibility though wouldn't be my first guess.

Huinesoron
06-11-2020, 04:40 AM
[Mac's DT communication plan] seems really logical and a good idea.

Woooooooolf!

Mac's plan is great for the wolves, because it means Greenie not using the Medium to boost a vote on a wolf (or by an innocent). Since the Medium is only revealed at DL, this vote would therefore have no effect toDay, and by toMorrow, the wolves can hope to have good/evil equality (though not sufficient to win).

Sadly it seems a little like that: both Nilp and Kath have already endorsed the idea... :(

It would have been nice if Nilp would vote Mac - then we could both give a Mac one more vote and follow his list which says that empower Nilp if Mac is a wolf. That would be sweet indeed. Letting his own dogs bite him, as we say in Finland.

Regrettably Nilp says: PS. To the Dead thread, I'm endorsing Mac's list. And despite being on my list, this line:If Macalaure is a wolf, empower Nilp. makes me want to trust you. Please don't be a Wolf.

Letting his own dogs bite him, as we say in Finland. Agreed again. Instead it looks like the village is, to quote another Finnish saying, urinating on their own cereal. :rolleyes: Also Nilp's endorsement of Mac's plan is especially worrying as, given his more or less known innocent status, other remaining innocents are more likely to follow his lead.

Now that he's said it, I can finally tell Lottie...

(I was more disappointed with my DAY 1 choice: it was down to Lottie or Bryn [sic], and guess who I chose.)

Very close Night 2, but yet not quite. :cool:

(Also Boro if you Mod again I will write up the stories for you! I love writing!)

Ohh, thank you. It may be a while before I want to mod another one, but don't be surprised if you hear from me to keep you to your word. :p

Congratulations guys, we've done it! If they don't figure this out then I would like to suggest to BoroMod that our Medium whacks everyone across the face. No words, just a good old whacking.

No words and just whacking might be good. I do constantly worry about over-stepping the 'official' capacity.

I didn't see any unfair advantage to convey the general feeling of displeasure with the entire village voting for Form yesterday. It probably would have been clear enough the fact he was the one mediumized, I just found myself laughing (but also agreeing) with the hair pulling and frustration that was going on in this thread yesterday, and wanted to convey that through Form in the narration since he was getting mob lynched anyway.

I do always attempt to tread carefully though, because even as a neutral official, I was asked if I unconsciously find myself rooting for one side over another? I've always felt the village starts out at a minor disadvantage (usually not so bad it can't be overcome) but there is a reason, looking at Kuru's stats why there is a slight advantage to the wolves at least at the beginning. And even when I'm on my own side, as a werebear/weredragon, I tend to want to slaughter the wolves first, before the townspeople :p.

I guess all I hope for is balance where both sides feel like they had their chances to either win or lose and those decisions rest in their own hands, not from some sort of unfair advantage given by the mod.

There will be plenty of time for further discussion after, I do quite like how the BH role turned out. But there's still a game to play out that can very much go either way and at least in the narrations I won't be confirming or denying the reasoning behind the dead's choices for their medium. Even if I find myself agreeing with Nog's position here...

So it starts again...

Why don't they learn that is not going to work? It's just a waste of time they'd need to put in reading Greenie's posts to find what hS did so nicely.

The only place I feel you might have given away more than you meant to is here:

She was in the middle of a disturbing vision. She clearly saw 1 villager's face and the face turned into a horrible, furry werewolf. There were 3 other shadowy figures in the vision but she could not make them out.

Which seems pretty clearly to indicate a) the Seer dreamt of a wolf last Night, and b) she hadn't dreamt of one before that. Both of which we dead'uns know to be true! I don't think any of the Living have caught it, though, because they're all convinced she voted Legate based on a dream.

Er...

Day3

Her list helps a lot.
not dreamt of: Brinn, Form, me, Pitch, Sally, Lommy
possible wolf: Kath, Legate
possible innocent: Nilp, Rikae, Shasta

So Mac has just pulled out all three innocent dreams from Greenie's Seer-post. If he's a wolf - does he realise how strongly he's pointed the innocents at it? And if he's not a wolf - then why does he act like one?

My thoughts as well... :confused:

I'm still a bit unsure what we should do toDay. I mean yes, with not empowering anyone we'd send a message to them that we have no known wolf - which is correct and would probably be interpreted correctly by the villagers as what it says (I doubt they would pick from there any annoyance form our part if that is what we'd want to say).

But then again, isn't our job to try and get wolves lynched?

We're getting pretty close to a situation where if there is even a slight feel of a wagon starting on a one of them the others might tighten their lines and it might end up close. Then our vote might make the difference.

So, I'd suggest we don't rush into voting to empower some specific person quite yet, but wait and see how it goes in the Game Thread.

And maybe share some general ideas as to what would be our best course of action.

If our vote might swing it to someone we suspect (Kath, Mac, Lommy, maybe Sally or Pitch) from someone we don't (Shasta, Rikae, Nilp), we definitely should do that, regardless of what "message" it sends. If it's another mob lynch, we either shouldn't vote or, if Boro will allow us to Mediumize one of our own Dead friends, do that as a protest Medium vote. I will be around but maybe a little distracted for the last half hour before the DL, and we can have two innocents not vote or vote early and be overvoted if need be.

I absolutely agree: killing Wolves is the full priority.

But if, for example, Mac is already on the chopping block, I say we maintain silence.

Of these six people:

Kath
Mac
Lommy
Sally
Brinn
Pitch

We have three or four evils (three wolves, one cobbler - I am fairly confident the cobbler is not one of Greenie's dreams, so probably four). Odds should be really good that they hit a wolf toDay. I don't know why the living still seem so confused. What are the innocents doing? :o

I'm still a bit unsure what we should do toDay. I mean yes, with not empowering anyone we'd send a message to them that we have no known wolf - which is correct and would probably be interpreted correctly by the villagers as what it says (I doubt they would pick from there any annoyance form our part if that is what we'd want to say).

But then again, isn't our job to try and get wolves lynched?

Absolutely, and I agree with waiting and seeing. I think following Mac's plan (and not Mediumming anyone, to tell them we have no known wolf) is a plausible Plan C, but I think we can do better.

My Plan A would be to follow the Mac plan (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=726981&postcount=482), but with a wolf as the target of the Medium's vote. So Nilp , Brinn , or maybe Mac - whichever votes for a likely wolf. The main issues here are a) they might not vote that way, and b) we'd be deliberately lying to the village.

Plan B would be to ignore the Mac plan entirely and just Medium someone voting for a probable wolf. This gives us the highest chance of affecting today's lynch, but would be wildly misinterpreted if the villagers buy into Mac's plan. We'd definitely want to avoid Mediumming Pitch, Sally, or Lommy, since those three would 'implicate' a known innocent.

If Pitch was a wolf, he would have known that Form was innocent, and I don't think he would have reacted so strongly to Rikae's Seer hinting. But if he was a cobbler, he would have shown up as an ordo, and wouldn't have had to worry about the Seer at all. I'm very confused about him right now. :confused:

Right now I still think Mac, Lommy and Kath are the likeliest candidates for our remaining wolves, though I could be very wrong too. But guys - if we wanted to nudge them towards having a look at Lommy, in Mac's list that would mean empowering Brinn again :D:D Trouble is, they'd probably just think we were trolling and not take us seriously. And anyway, a Macwolf might be a bigger problem at the moment than a Lommywolf, given how he's taking the reins now..

Second thing - I won't be around at deadline (it's 1AM here and I'm not good at staying up late) so if we need to react quickly to last-minute voting again I won't be much help.

Yes, I think Mac is a very big problem right now for the village. He seems to be very good at leading the innocents astray.

Yes, we can afford for two innocents to vote early and still be able to change our minds last minute. Probably a safe early vote if you have to vote before the Living start voting would be for Nilp, as that would implicate Mac.

06-11-2020, 10:29 AM
Okay I just read Lommy's most recent post and I'll be astonished if she's innocent. Like, I know it's been a confusing game but this is nuts -

I read Brinn's analysis and I very much agree with the conclusions. It's fairly intriguing Rikae comes to less certain conclusions with the possible remarkable difference of downplaying Shasta's perceived innocence. This *could* point to Rikae being a wolf reluctant to give the village a known innocent, or to Brinn being a bold packmate of Shasta's.
I can't even.

Boromod, I have a question: if we vote to Mediumize Form again, could his disembodied voice ghostly whisper the words "you're all terrible" in the narration? :Merisu:

I think I'll just train myself to better give an Elvish answer...that is to say both yes and no.

That is you don't have the option to make one of yourselves the Medium "to speak." You do have the option to not choose anyone though. Even if Legate votes, if he's the only one, there still won't be one chosen today.

Hey, we're back!!

I think it's entirely possible we're too close to numbers being even to discount the use of the Medium vote as what it actually is - a vote.

Thank you! That's what I was trying to get at above. If we follow Mac's scheme or Lommy's, we'll only know what the Dead were trying to say when the lynching's done. IMO the better alternative would be for all of us to do a +-prevote, so if the Dead have a known wolf they can empower those voting them, and if they have known innocents they can empower votes to save them.

THANK YOU to Shasta and Pitch for thinking of us poor Dead. :rolleyes:

Yesssss Shasta thank you.

I can't see Lommy's 'let's muddy the waters on what their votes mean' as anything but wolfish. For bonus points, her 'we think this is stupid' Medium is Pitch - who under Mac's scheme implicates a known innocent.

I think the wolves spotted the Seer-post ((after all, they know who Greenie would see as innocent or guilty!). That means they know Greenie had no known wolves before last Night, and they must suspect she dreamed of Legate. The Seer post hinted at Lommy as last Night's dream - and by Mac's plan, a Lommy wolf would be signalled by a vote for Brinn, which is the easiest to disregard as trolling.

Come to think of it, pointing the finger at Mac by empowering Nilp is also easy to dismiss - 'they were just supporting the person we all know is innocent!'. So it's only Kath who's in danger.

Loslote
06-11-2020, 12:56 PM
Because we need to lynch a wolf toDay, not toMorrow. ToMorrow may be too late. If we mislynch toDay and the Ranger fails to foil the Night kill it'll be 3:1:3 toMorrow - in which case the Wolves could just come out and call on the cobbler's support to lynch anybody they like.
I'm getting really really suspicious of Mac right now.

And there's the issue right there. A "known wolf" toMorrow is too late. They NEED to lynch a wolf toDay. Mac and Kath keep insisting there's a known wolf to discover this way, but in the mean time, they're not helping anyone find the actual wolves on the Day it matters.

Uh-huh. And we can only help if all 3 innocents vote before all 4 evils.

I assume the Wolves will kill Nilp tonight, since it seems the Ranger protected him last Night. So it would be really nice if we could kill one of them today and not lose...

Sorry for not being with your sooner, I had a surprisingly busy day (but I spent part of it right after waking up by reading up on most of this thread - which was before everything else came tumbling down on me. But I must say, delightful read)!

I will try to do my best to make up for everything by accompanying you now, my dear, clueless friends. :smokin:

Another result that would make me disappear from the planet for a few lifetimes in shame would be seeing Legate here.
I am very glad you did not have to do that back then, Nog! Incidentally, first thing I wanted to do once I got here was to apologise for contributing to your lynch, except... except I realised if I speak strictly and only for myself, I was being perfectly genuine in my intent of lynching you, so... that would be hypocritical of me. :p But I could say that I would not have minded having you around longer and could have lynched someone else had there been better targets available. To pick one good example for all, in retrospect I would not mind hadGreenie been lynched already then ;)

I agree, Form. I'd like to vote that we have a Dead Thread every game, even if the Dead play no role. Just to chat.
Let me just absolutely second... third... tend (?!?) this. I think a DT should always exist, even if for only discussion, however I think it would be better that it should have some power (and obligation) so it motivates and gives the players a purpose, and isn't just empty talk.

I mean granted so far this is just dead villagers, but it is a uniting force you don't get as a "live" player. And just my luck these are the only games I'm immortal in and never die
Then we just gotta keep doing it every game, one Day, you are gonna die early...

Some day I want to mod a game.
Well, once this is over...?

My guess is Legate is a Wolf. Greenie is the Seer. Greenie is dying tonight.
That was pretty impressive.

Loslote
06-11-2020, 01:16 PM
I find myself in agreement with Mac and in opposition to particularly Pitch and a bit less Rikae and Shasta. That kind of naturally pushes me to feeling ok about Mac and not good about Pitch.

There it is! The wolves are pushing Pitch. The innocents NEED to come together and push against the wolves NOW.

Legate of Amon Lanc

Stop with the "empower x" lists, please!! :eek:
Now absolutely honestly and disregarding the particularities of this game, of my role, and whether or not this helps anyone - I generally think "using the Dead Thread as channel for lists" is, for lack of better word, un-classy. As long as the Dead can use the Medium to speak their mind freely, that's good, but making the Dead Thread into an instrument, like a computer that just spits out a result after we feed it data, I generally don't like. I actually think that was the reason why Nog originally in his previous game decided not to go the empowering vote-route (because this has been done before, and more often), but to make the Dead vote straightaway. I mean, this is okay - nothing against it - and it can be used for various shenanigans by both parties (and I remember a game when the Living gave a list, then they changed it after the Dead already voted according to the previous list and the Dead would have strangled all the Living in their sleep if they could) - but I think Nog was onto something when he picked a different route.

I'm having an interesting idea - making the Dead disempower a person with their vote (making it count as zero). I mean, it would be perfect ventilation for frustration of the Dead players, could be used to communicate, etc. If I mod again, I'm gonna explore that possibility. (But if anyone wants... think about it. I think it's a nice idea. Maybe it has downsides. Likely it has. Haven't thought of them yet.)

Right??? And why in the world is no one talking about who they're going to vote toDay???

Because that's what people do. To be fair, I think - and after reading this thread I felt reassured in that opinion - that the Dead perceive things differently than the Living. When you are Living, everything until about one hour before you have to vote feels like plenty of time. There's time for everything. Then yes, of course, suddenly you are in a hurry. But you didn't realise it before. There was time to discuss everything in the world from Gifteds and Cobblers and lists to Wolf manicure.

When you're in the DT, you're just waiting... and waiting... and waiting for the bloody Living to say something concrete, and they... just don't. Because time simply passes differently if you're already in the Beyond, seeing everything from the perspective of Eternity rather than living every moment and every post as if it could be your last! Ha! I'm onto some metaphysical revelations here, possibly.

If night 4 dream = innocent, no vote
If night 4 dream = wolf, as follows:

If Brinniel is a wolf, empower Kath.
If Kath is a wolf, empower Lommy.
If Macalaure is a wolf, empower Pitch.
If Pitch is a wolf, empower Mac.
If Rikae is a wolf, empower Brinniel.
If Sally is a wolf, empower Nilp.
If Shasta is a wolf, empower Sally.
If Nilp is a wolf, empower Shasta.
If Lommy is a wolf, empower Rikae.

Or some other arrangement that pairs people who are unlikely to be wolves together.

There is something to that! But that would limit those who came "later". If some stupid Dead (or evil Dead, or Cobblers - hi G55 - or whoever) wasted one useful thing on the first Day, then those who came later would be robbed of the chance of even having it as their option.

Loslote

Looks like the "safe vote" to indicate we suspect Mac would be Pitch. Since Kath listed Pitch as her number one suspect, that might suggest he isn't a wolf, so I guess Mediumizing him would be okay.

[EDIT--since I can edit with impunity here, I shall emphasise the following is unrelated to Lottie's quote]

In my hypothetical future game, there will be a Ghost: the Dead Thread can send back one member each day to "haunt" the village (selected anew each Night).

This is going to be a little Other-Fandom as a comment, but it's like watching the Jedi bumble their way through the Clone Wars knowing what Palpatine's up to--they keep coming SO close!

Shasta voted Mac. Every single innocent has to follow now, or the wolves can swing it.

On the plus side, if things come down to a tie, we can empower Shasta and the Mac-waggon win the tiebreaker.

So even if all the Wolves vote together, we only need one vote for Mac (and for the cobbler/other innocent to split their votes elsewhere).

Seriously the wolves deserve to win this one. :rolleyes:

Which list are we using again? Rikae's? I lost track :D Basically I'm happy mediumising anyone who votes for Mac, extra points if it makes them look at Lommy too.

If the Ranger is Shasta or Pitch, and they direct the innocents to vote for Mac or Kath, I'd be all for it.Well we know it isn't Shasta (sadly, since a Ranger reveal might have made the rest of them listen to him :rolleyes:).

We'll probably need several drafts of rule rewrites.

(For one thing, I think paragraphs better than sentences, because then you're a lot more vague--"what part of this paragraph doe the ghost mean!!" is better than being able to narrow things down more.)

A nice 'we're doomed' one is Silm chapter 9:

After a time a great concourse gathered about the Ring of Doom; and the Valar sat in shadow, for it was night.

And Silm 17 is good if you need to send a message about Nilp:

When three hundred years and more were gone since the Noldor came to Beleriand, in the days of the Long Peace, Finrod Felagund lord of Nargothrond journeyed east of Sirion and went hunting with Maglor and Maedhros, sons of Fëanor.

And I feel like this one is nicely nuanced, though not terribly useful:

Among the tales of sorrow and of ruin that come down to us from the darkness of those days there are yet some in which amid weeping there is joy and under the shadow of death light that endures.

Edit: "You're listening to a fake!"

It is said by the Eldar that Men came into the world in the time of the Shadow of Morgoth, and they fell swiftly under his dominion; for he sent his emissaries among them, and they listened to his evil and cunning words, and they worshipped the Darkness and yet feared it.

Am starting to worry Rikae might be the Cobbler. I mean:

If the cobbler were smart, they would have done it and gotten Nilp lynched. Guess we don't have a very bright cobbler.

If they're not the Cobbler, then they just insulted the Cobbler directly, which seems a bit beyond how the game is normally played? This just feels like a poke at themselves more than at an unknown other player.

So we're waiting for the wolves to open the game on their behalf.

Interesting to see, whether they have patience to wait for an innocent to misfire first (Rikae looks likely candidate to make a bad decision at the moment) and how hungrily they dare to jump on it - especially if Mac starts gathering more votes (which is quite possible indeed).

That of course presupposing our theories are correct.

Loslote
06-11-2020, 02:58 PM
The wolves will have to vote soon, if only to indicate to their cobbler who to vote. One of Brinn and Rikae is a misled innocent. We either need the innocent to figure out what's going on, waste their vote, or Nilp to show up.

If Pitch pulls through (wow, I did not expect to say that when I was still aLive...), our vote would make four--so the wolves would need both an Innocent AND the Cobbler to break a tie (assuming of course that we're not so foolish to empower a later voter).

Nilp being MIA cuts both ways there...

I am really gonna kick myself extra hard if Mac and Kath are wolves and it was obvious to everybody except blind old me (and to Rikae if she isn't the third one).And there goes Lommy trying to cover herself in case Mac gets caught. :DYeah. Blind old Lommy, who'd ever suspect her. :Merisu:

I guess that's it then: a Shasta vs. Mac run.

So let's empower

++ Shastanis Althreduin

The wolves will use any version of the lists they see fit, so no worries about what someone might read from our vote. I'd rather stick to our new tradition.


EDIT: X'd with most everyone coming to the same conclusion. Well, that's unity! :)

At least lynching the cobbler would shift the voting majority to innocent toMorrow.

No no Brinn , don't buy it!

Brinn breaks the tie unless Nilp comes back. If neither vote, we have the tiebreaker.

Whichever one they lynch, the result will force them to start making sense toMorrow. Right? :(

Should I pro forma vote against you? :) Nah, I am not one for gestures like that.

Also, I think Brinn is the Ranger. Pretty sure anyone else would have come out by now.

Hopefully I'm wrong and Greenie didn't dream of Shasta, but I'm quite concerned.

WOOO!

As long as Nilp doesn't somehow vote appear and vote Shasta, we have the tiebreaker!

So thus far, with our empowerment, it is 4-4 and Mac is on the gallows with the four gotten earlier.

Two innocents to vote.

:eek:


EDIT: OOOOPPPPSS!

I'm beginning to think the Dead Thread should ignore the whole blasted lot of us and go their own way. Not sure we've done much to help matters toDay.
I love how Kath gives us permission to go our own way, not knowing we already have :smokin:

Loslote
06-11-2020, 03:51 PM
And not for me???????????

If you're wolves with Rikae and Kath I'm not gonna recover.

Oh, the concern!
Since my voters voted first, if one of them is the medium, assuming Nilp doesn't magically appear, I get lynched.
And how come you think we might be empowering someone who voted for you, dear Mac?

Five minutes... please sleep Nilp.

Worst case scenario: Nilp comes and is totally clueless - and the wolves guide him to do "the right thing" - and he has no time to really consider things himself. :eek:

We have one more Day. It'll be a race to get the votes, and the wolves can coordinate to all vote the same person at 4:00 on the dot, and hope the cobbler echos as quickly as possible.

Huinesoron

Hey, Shasta. I think you were the only Living villager to correctly put all the dots together, so well done! It very nearly worked. :-/

I wish we could protest that Nilp's vote came in on the 10:00 GMT minute itself and is therefore disqualified, but that is a slender legalism indeed.

If you thinking of it as killing off his own team (and thus himself), that really was the Nilping to end all Nilping.
