Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXVI - Úcenite Valto - Planning and Discussion Thread

[Nogrod]

I might say that the presence of a Seer is a threat for the werecreatures, but nothing more if the Seer is not actually "gifted" in her/his role or just pure lucky.

But the ranger I see more of a threat to the wolves and a balancing factor in the games. With a ranger around the wolves need to be careful with their picks and that really slows them down...

So if we are to limit the gifteds, why don't we just have a ranger (or two) without a seer? That might be different and fun and interesting!

Judging by all of his questions, you'd think he doesn't trust me.

I don't, sweetie. After a few games of WW you lose the ability to trust.

Not that I'd trust you anyway.

And welcome to the party, Nogrod.

NOGROD! *glomp*

I was hoping you'd be here, if for no other reason than that I need someone to distrust immediately, and argue with until one of us dies.

As for gifteds, I'm sure Fea knows what she's doing.... *gulp*

Someone will probably be gifted and none of us will know it. And then they'll come forward and we'll call them liars and lynch them. Or there will be two seers and one is a wolf! Dear God, Fea, you ARE diabolical!

I disbelieve the illusion!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Lucky Thirteen.

I'll post the basics tonight, send out roles shortly thereafter, and we can start late tomorrow.

Good luck. You'll need it.

On Ties: Only one person will be lynched each Day, just as only one person will be killed each Night. In the event of a mass tie, the first two to reach the number of votes required for the tie will be the two decided between. Remember that you may retract your votes once; this may have bearing on how you decide to strategize.

That is precisely what I'd do. One death per Day, one death per Night.

On Moderatorial Integrity: Coins have been used and will be used again. If I had meant for your participation to have no bearing on the outcome, I would have stuck with my original plan of no wolves, no gifteds, just a bunch of paranoid villagers killing people (with me picking people off each night) until somebody is left standing, only to fall to the Moderator. That, however, is neither fun nor fair. Though I have nothing against "subtly misleading" you, as then it becomes your own problem of interpretation, I will not lie.

On Wolf Identities: One wolf was hand chosen by me. The other was not. Welcome, yet again, to mixed rationality and luck.

I can do that? Is it too late?

Alas, there are only two wolves. In retrospect, do you have any idea how fun that would be?

And yet... completely unfair.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I know I just started the Day over two hours early, but I need to disappear. I'll poke my head in before classes in the morning. This early start will not affect the end time of the Day.

Oh, Mrs. Roa (congratulations!), how bad! I had just thought that we could see this as a chance to at last come together...

Looking at the stats, I think you have been a baddie a lot more often than I have, so from the point of view of any reasonable villager, you will be the one who is the baddie and I'm the goodie - how beautiful your rhetorics will be...

But, and sincerely, sharing a victory would be the best of all (we have done it once, if I recall it right?). I really would love that.

We'll see...

[Roa_Aoife]

So, wait....

What time are we starting?
