Well, I just go to older threads in Mirth. Makes for good reading, and it's fun to guess who is who while you read.

I am now here. I overslept an hour and well yea. I have now caught up by reading through all the pages. I haven an idea on how to start figuring out who the wolves are. Boro told us in the admin thread that some of the roles would be picked based on those surveys. My guess is that the people who got put down for trusted the most are the wolves and cobbler. The ones who got put down for distrust the most are probably now just ordinaries. What do you all think? Should we post out answers to the survey?

Nessa Telrunya · 08-13-2009, 06:55 AM

That may be what he had in mind, just to try and make this game that much more interesting. But couldn't the wolves exploit that reasoning by saying they distrust each other?

Hakon · 08-13-2009, 06:59 AM

The roles were sent out after the surveys were all sent in. You are right that the wolves could have altered it but still there are more ordinaries then any other role. If the gifted people and the ordinaries all post the truthful surveys then we could figure out who the wolves are.

Hakon, in every game I've played with you you've suggested something that sounds at least close to cheating.

Hakon · 08-13-2009, 07:07 AM

This is my second game ever. What did I suggest last game that was so bad? Was it the idea of looking for clues in the narration posts?

Day one is the hardest. I think that looking at these surveys may help us on day one. We still have well over 12 hours left to the day. Let us take a look at these surveys.

Rikae · 08-13-2009, 07:09 AM

If I recall correctly, you suggested PMing other players without permission as a test.

Nessa Telrunya · 08-13-2009, 07:06 AM

Maybe, if that is how Boro chose roles. We would have to tally up everyone's answers though, if we were to do that.

I myself would rather have more concrete evidence, based on someone slipping up. It's too easy to be tricked in any strategy, however, if that's all we have to go on...

I say, Day one is the hardest vote of all, merely because there's nothing to go on.

Alright, 4 pages of almost exclusively nonsense. If you people start talking sense in the same volume toMorrow, I shall turn green again.

phantom's "the gifted shall leave clues" is a) blatantly obvious for those gifteds who would have left clues anyway, and b) slightly dangerous for those who weren't going to. Their clues might be clumsy and their deaths now maybe impending. To each gifted his own, I say. Play the way you're comfortable playing.

I don't understand the benefit of earlier artificial deadline. Luckily it's not realistic anyway.

After 4 pages, tp's page 1 suggestions are still the best thing to comment on? *shakes head*

*reloads*

Ah, something new!

First to post his/her survey shall be the first to be lynched, k?

They were supposed to be confidential and it's exclusively up to Boro to post them.

And play nicely, kids...

Hakon · 08-13-2009, 07:19 AM

Hey I just think surveys are a good way to catch wolves. Just discussing it might help someone slip up.
