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!

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.

Clarifications
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.

As far as my role, I will be the town phantom, for I am undoubtedly far more interesting than any character I could ever make up.

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.

We need victory conditions, Fea.

When two WWs are killed, does the village win?

When the number of villagers equals the number of WWs, do the WWs win?

In order to make this village completely legitimate you must provide victory conditions, for a game/competition/activity without known and attainable objectives is not a real game/competition/activity.

I should offer myself voluntarily for lynching before my reputation goes (even farther) downhill - apparently someone thinks my posting on this game is worth a bunch of negative points!

That neg rep was me, Esty, cause I hate your guts. You see, before you joined this village I was going to be the most popular person here, but you ruined that for me!

As we speak I'm running around as quickly as possible trying to deal out ten reps so I can go back and neg rep you again.

I'll never forgive you.

I've been neg-repped also. It would appear my narratives are causing quite the stir. For my unidentified critic: Yes.

You'll find out who wins when there's one person left and I let you know what his or her role is.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did she ever categorically deny that anyone outside the game could be a wolf? Wasn't that just phantom's deduction?

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...

The game thread has been opened. Please refrain from posting on it until the first Day begins.

The wolves have been informed of their identities. If you did not receive a PM, you are an ordinary villager. Congratulations on your distinct normalcy.

You are all welcome to PM me at any time. Please use your discretion in the use of this thread from now on; save it for announced absences, questions pertaining to rules... that sort of thing. If in doubt, just PM me.

Please make yourselves invisible if you have not already.

The first Night will be posted at an unspecified time tomorrow (11/12/06). The first Day will occur at 10:00 PM (EST) following it. With no Seer, a lengthy first Night is absolutely pointless.

Good luck, dear players, and thank you for playing. I very much hope you enjoy yourselves.

I would like to make a statement in advance about my time zone and its effect on my posting. 10pm CT is 4am EST. That means that I will not be posting for several hours before the day/night cycle ends/begins. Sleep has priority! If you're looking for lots of last-minute action, lynch me on the first day.

Actually, I'm not sure what the content of our posts should be - we can't speculate on cooperation of werewolves, since they don't know each others' identity. Are we to adopt a character and post in character? Not that that would help, but at least it would give us something to write...

And since there is no PMing by any of us, is there a reason for the request for players to be invisible online?

There was a reason each of you were chosen. You all know me. You also know each other, at least to a point.

Though I didn't directly choose the wolves, you may not want to assume it was a completely random choice.

Tradition, mostly. I can't think of any die hard reasoning, but I also know I'm a bit distracted lately. Keeping players on invisible means that it doesn't matter if I forgot anything.
