Oh my!

Well, I must admit that would have been terribly entertaining if it had indeed happened. I'm not even sure how I would've reacted...

The horrible thing would have been that I would have had to tell people of my dreams, and all I could've said was: "Well, Lommy is evil.. umm.. was evil."

I doubt I would have been able to talk myself out of it.

Yes, possibly if tgwbs did that, and Lommy was lynched, then Mac couldn't say anything to prove he's right. Though at the moment Mac was lynched as fake seer, we would know he was the Seer, and tgwbs would go as well. Though, there will still be one wolf left, and no seer, so who knows...
Only if we wouldn't conclude that Menel decided to give us two seers, which would speak for tgwbs and maybe he could make yet some mess...

Heh, my strategy for the whole game was feigning ignorance of how any of the roles work, and it worked, since little differences do exist. Unfortunately, by the time I realized I wouldn't be able to send a list for night 2, it was too late; otherwise, the game may have been very different.

I'm kind of mad that no one believed my accusation of Macalaure at the ned, but I suppose it would have been better when we first found out that Mac was the Seer.

Did people assume I had some sort of master strategy behind playing the game in a completely opposite fashion, or did it just make me look like a moron? Either way, it's an accurate interpretation.

I wouldn't say either. But you were a bit quiet to say the least...

It is a discussion that has been made quite a few times and I don't want to unleash the debate once again. But to just make the point in a mild way that I think many of the werewolf-players here might agree, I would say that as everything in this game is based on what people say it's not so nice if some people just stay quiet as then the others have nothing to chew on them and it becomes a matter of simple "heads and tails". I mean if everyone just threw oneliners (I'm not saying you did that all the game) there would be no game in the first place, just random voting.

Surely people have different strategies and personalities and everyone should be able to play with the style that fits them or which they wish to adopt in any given game. But something like a little above the absolute minimum participation shows the sportsmanship at least I value highly in my fellow-players, be they on my side or be they my adversaries. Participating players make the game interesting and challenging and thus enjoyable.

But this was your first game so please do not read this as a negative feedback of any sort. As I saw the other games you have been playing I can see there is a difference and it must have been pretty hard to adjust to our style here.

I hope you enjoy playing BD-werewolf for many games to come!

Here we go again ...

I'm sure that I have said it before, but I rather like the mix of different players. Admittedly, if everyone stuck to one liners, the game wouldn't be such fun. But having some players who do just adds to the spice. The old "what do to with Gil?" conundrum.

That said, I most certainly would not wish to dissuade you from your new approach, Gil, as I regard it as a most positive development. I thought that they were all rather rotten for killing you off, just as you were upping your level of engagement. And there may well be something in this claim of yours for having good instincts, at least on the evidence of the past few games.

Anyway, a fun game to watch. My views on who the Wolves were changing daily until the reveals started coming in. And I was surprised to see that Glirdan actually was a Wolf, as I always find those who look the most suspicious among the least suspicious, and certainly on Day One. In any event, I rather like games where the roles are not known, as it keeps everyone guessing.

So, well done Menel for a great modding job, and well done villagers for the win - ably assisted by some great Gifteds. Bad luck, Wolves. It's a shame that you were hampered by communication problems, as the game might have been quite different had you not been.

You're right. The mix at least grants the shared focus of discussion over what to do with them in games where there is suddenly no other good ideas about what to talk of...

But the quiets have been seldomly lynched early in the game so they kind of inbalance the game in favour of the wolves in the end. When I'm a wolf I have no problem with that. I may bark on it in the thread but by Night I'm most strict of not killing them as it is the task of the villagers to do it if they're in doubt about the goals of them...

But yes, variety is good.

I probably just wanted to say that some minimal attendance would be welcomed. The oneliners (no one person thought here in special) can use all the talk of the louder ones to make their strategies but the louder ones have nothing for the oneliners. That's an inbalance I don't like myself. As you said Spm, the game needs people who speak. Without it there is no game. So just hanging on with oneliners is a bit parasitic in a way...

Here we go again ...

Hopefully not in the length and seriousity this has been carried on some earlier times. I do not think I'm thinking about this matter in any extreme way nowadays. Indeed the way Gil played this time made me feel really good about him (and I can't see why people wished to lynch him anyway).

Gah. I'm pretty happy with the game we had in this regard. So maybe I'll just shut up...

PS. Nice new avatar Spm!

Sauce, do you think maybe you need a twelve step programme


a I do think it is great that Gil is participating .. and I was impressed by his picks last game.. but you can't blame me for fighting back......

What I really thougyht was funny though was how Lommy was quite so desperate to see me dead and her reasoning when weknew she was furry....

It was still a relief though since it disproved the possibility that I was a Mythomaniac..that IS spellt with a Y people
