mostly due to better wolf-spotting techiniques, I'm guessing

Something like this was probably kind of inevitable at some point.

Typically as a given population of players gets more experienced it becomes harder and harder for the wolves to win because it gets harder and harder for them to hide.

Increase over time of Seer-savvy, for one thing...

As I agree with you on this I simultaneously suggest we try to go for trials of different games (as we have done also so far - there have been many imaginative games lately).

One idea (presented in the TiG-thread is that we play knowingly "differently"). So taking a costume of someone else or just taking on another style.

...I'll see if any violent objections are raised to this proposal.

The Three have won 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 18, and 21=12.

The Ordos have won 4, 6, 8, 12, 15, 17, 19, 20, 22, 23, and 24=11.

The Black Beornings/werebear split on 25=1.

The Lovers split on 25=1.

A Tie occurred in 16=1.

Kuru I would say it was a lover win and not werebear personally.

Kuruharan · 11-07-2006, 05:46 PM

Possibly. But don't you kind of have to specify which lovers, I mean, there were a number...

Yes but it was such a hybrid game that I feel the line should be drawn somewhere. It was a game of lovers though they were the primary evil such as werewolves in a 'normal' game but it wouldn't be correct to classify them under 'the three'. To call them a split is more accurate yes, but I see no harm in sumarizing that they were simply lovers and it's irrelevant which type of lovers. But Kuru this is your desk and I don't want to scatter too many papers

I think perhaps we should defer to Diamond. I'll see if I can't force an opinion out of her.

Diamond18 · 11-07-2006, 11:25 PM

I don't consider the Werebear from my game to be the same as a Black Beorning, since in this game she functioned no differently than the Cat, Wolf, and Bird. The species of were was, in this case, purely for narrative purposes and had no bearing (har har) on actual gameplay.

Bottom line, I would just say the Lovers won 25. There were only two options for the game, a single pair of Lovers winning or the Innocent Elves winning. The Lovers did not have the exact plight that Nilp and Cailín's Lovers had, but they were in danger from other baddies, so they were more like the other versions of Lovers than they were a traditional wolf pack.
