Shasta! Welcome to the QT-bar! Pull up a digital chair and share all your suspicions, and remember to vote Brinn in the end. :D

Thing is, even if they Night-kill the Seer, they can count on the Innocents dutifully following every vote of ours afterward.

Yep. Their only hope was to get the seer early and limit their dreams.

Rikae 05-16-2020 04:11 PM

How about a tweak to the format maybe for another game - a cobbler whose role remains unknown even in death?

Rikae 05-16-2020 04:14 PM

Would give us dead folks reason to distrust one another, make voting more tense (although it has been anyway somehow!). With the right numbers a cobbler could unexpectedly swing what's supposed to be an innocent dead vote and cause chaos.

Chaos is a ladder.

Which was the basis of my suspecting Brinn in the first place.

Second this.

Hello, little one! We're happy to have you! *snuggles*

satansaloser2005 05-16-2020 05:08 PM

Is it too soon to vote? I did make Lal a promise. :D

It seems Lottie is in favor too.

Rikae 05-16-2020 05:32 PM

Go ahead if you must, Sally, I think we have enough votes to do whatever needs doing at the deadline!

(You wolves are going to make me regret saying that, aren't you?)

Ha. They fell for it.

I'm 90% certain Lottie is the Seer, and acted accordingly.

Will catch up. Hi, guys. :)

Anyway, yesterDay Lottie started looking very seerish and continues to now. Shasta, I get the feeling you saw it too, eh?

Just going to sit back and watch the fun.

Very this. Rikae on point.

Lhunardawen 05-16-2020 06:28 PM

I'm starting to wonder if there's even a Seer in this game at all. :confused:

Imagine a game with two Seers, except no one knows there are two of them, and if they dream of each other they will not see the other one as a Seer.

Also a game where every ordo is a cobbler, but they all believe themselves to be the only cobbler in the game, and ordo/cobbler are not specified on death.

A game without a wolf pack, and villagers die at the toss of a dice each Night.

Chaos is a ladder.

I think Fea modded a game similar to this in the past. No wolves, just villagers lynching each other. Last person standing.


This post was proudly composed on my phone.

Galadriel55 05-16-2020 08:18 PM

You know why it's so decently and normally quiet? It's because we finally achieved population control on the GT. Ha! :D

Ah, sorry, what virus? I meant Evil Breath.

Ahem. I'm the only person crazy enough to do something that insane, thank you. It was Werewolf Idol. :Merisu:

Lhunardawen 05-16-2020 08:53 PM

Look up Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXVI - Úcenite Valto moderated by Fea. When I said past, I should have said distant past.

Edit: linkety link

Edit edit: Wait no, there were wolves, but the game continued even after they were dead. Or something. Noggie, help me out here?

Lhunardawen 05-16-2020 11:30 PM

THE Ka-nalysis
 
Since Leggie's likely to ask Ka, and she might not be able to answer, I'm taking the liberty of posting this.


Shasta --> Ka
Rune --> Eönwë
Greenie --> Ka 2
QT --> Brinn (the most epic of all epic votes)
Ka --> Brinn 2 (a foreshadowing of her being one with the QT?)
Brinn --> Ka 3 (bussing or retaliation?)
Lottie --> Ka 4
Boro --> Ka 5
Lommy --> Ka 6
Kath --> Ka 7
Eönwë --> Ka 8

So it appears the GT had decided to be as nearly unanimous as the QT on the same Day. Coincidence?


Scenario 1: Ka was bussed.
Scenario 1.1: Ka was bussed by all of her packmates.
Infectors: Greenie, Brinn, Lottie, Boro, Lommy, Kath, Eönwë
Scenario 1.2: Ka was bussed by some, but not all, of her packmates.
Infectors: Rune, Greenie, Brinn, Lottie, Boro, Lommy, Kath, Eönwë


Scenario 2: Ka was not bussed.
Scenario 2.1: The villagers brilliantly executed her while her packmates stood aghast, unable to do anything.
Infectors: Rune
... Wait. :confused:


Scenario 3: Ka sacrificed herself for the greater good.
Scenario 3.1: Her packmates wholeheartedly supported her sacrifice.
Infectors: Greenie, Brinn, Lottie, Boro, Lommy, Kath, Eönwë
Scenario 3.2: Her packmates were divided about her willingness to sacrifice
Infectors: Rune, Greenie, Brinn, Lottie, Boro, Lommy, Kath, Eönwë

Now it's too bad Shasta isn't a wolf, so I won't be able to do a Shasta-nalysis.

I have seen a game (I don't think it was here) that had a Seer and a Fake Seer. The Fake Seer received randomly-generated results, didn't know they were fake, and would see the real Seer as the Fake Seer.

That would be, in this particular game, really cool. And cause unbelievable amount of paranoia. No rest even for the Dead.

Welllcome Shasta! Grab a seat, grab one of our many remaining disinfected glasses/mugs (we came prepared, it seems)... Happy for your input!

I've been wondering for Days on end (well... we all did, I am sure). Since when have you been thinking it might be Lottie?

This happened. In phantom's game, I believe (well, who else). And it sucked. It was really really bad game overall, I think. I, at least, had zero fun. (Main problem also was... multiple people figured it out really soon because there were X people acting absolutely nuts and all over the place.) So not, that particular concept I do not support. It was too much to be fun.

Legate of Amon Lanc 05-17-2020 04:26 AM

Random serious thought.

How likely is it that the WWs have not been going after the Seer in fact, but instead framing people left and right, including toNight framing Eönwë by killing Shasta?

I will be happy to hear opinion from anybody, including our resident Infectors ;)

If you could give me that N95 mask, face shield, bunny suit, shoe cover, and gloves over there, and let me go out for a bit, I'll ask my fellows. :p

There was a ducks and geese game and Mithalwen was either the real or fake Seer and got really angry when she was accused of lying.
I've been reminiscing about vintage WW as a result of all this.
No-one in this game was in the cast of the first-ever werewolf game, moderated by the Barrow Wight himself.
My first was WWIV. The only other fellow-player also in this game is Kath :cool:

Nogrod 05-17-2020 05:42 AM

It seems the GT is taking a Day-off.

Looks like your chance to pass them in the postscore. ;)

That was probably one of the most insane games ever.

If I recall it right, it was a highly anticipated game people had been talking a lot. There would be two wolves who didn't know each other (they sent Night-kill suggestion to the Mod who then randomized between them, or something) and the roles would not revealed in death.

Then then unlikeliest thing happened, and on Day two both wolves were dead. :smokin:

Then Fea decided to just let the people continue playing, with no wolves and not telling us there were no wolves, while she randomized the Night-kills herself (if I remember it correctly).

It was absolutely insane as there was absolutely no sense in anything that happened and we knew nothing about what had happened in the first place. :eek:

I'm sure not the least because it was only the second (ever) game in which Esty played! :Merisu:

One of these days I will find the time to read it in its entirety. I'm pretty sure Fea's narration reads like an RPG in itself. *chucks item into the list that includes reading all REBs*

Lalaith 05-17-2020 06:08 AM

Yes Fea's game was invite-only and mine got lost in the post :rolleyes:
It looked nuts though.
Who remembers the ducks and geese one? It was nodded by Diamond18.

G55, have you hacked Legate's account by any chance?


Seriously though, something similar has occurred to me (see #789 above), but I think the idea could do with a visit to Occam's Barber Shop.


I move we put Eönwë out of his misery toDay, before something weird happens and he walks away from this game as the new teflon wolf (TM).

Well, we're not in Fea's game - good for you. :)

So all the roles that have been said to exist in the rules, do exist, and all the roles of those who have gotten off from the GT for any reason, have been revealed.

Not I, said the wolf. I'm sorry. The only game modded by Di I remember is her Werecreatures and Lovers game. Because Mac and I won that. :smokin:
