Hey, okay, one more question then. Are we supposed to cast one vote for NG or two votes for NG? I.e. everybody votes for two people? I originally thought that we are supposed to vote just for one person, and simply the two who got the most will become NGs. Or how is it? Nogger?

Actually you have to - as said in the rules (everyone votes for one and the two gaining the most votes will be chosen).

++ Legate for Captain

Because he seems sensible and innocentish and has already received a vote. I don't like the idea of spreading the votes too much, especially if someone I'm considering myself has already been voted for. By the way, what happens if there is a tie in Captain votes? Noggers?

Call it a hunch, but I think Val's suspicious...i.e. is a wolf.

Did you expect Fea to declare "I'm a wolf. HOOWWWWL"...Does this ring a bell Valier?

It does sound familiar...and I was only mostly joking around. I thought her wording was odd is all.
And may I ask why you think I'm suspisious? Just a hutch? or do you have some reasoning to your hunch?

I wouldn't be surprised if a wolf decided to hide in the quiet in this village, but it's only a feeling, not any sort of proof. I am trying to comb through everyone and find good reason to lynch someone, but I haven't got much to work with and that frustrates me. As I told Legate, quiet players are my blind spot, so this game feels like I'm shooting in the dark.

But since you're here (and presumably sober), I did find your reasoning for being captain (ie trustworthiness and people skills) to be questionable. Can you clear it up?

Quote:
I can see that you fear that the role as captain can damage the village. I know that today we have to elect a captain, but maybe it would be smart to have a talk about wether we want anybody to be in that position of power later on.
I was thinking along these lines as well.


Quote:
Of course we should not lynch people just because they are being helpful, that would be stupid indeed, but I do think there is some merit to Valiers theory. We should be on the lookout for relatively helpful people, that post a fair amount and seem helpful, but don't produce much. Like if people make very detailed posts about what others have said, but never really conclude anything.
Have someone in mind?

In case of a draw the first one to gain the votes will be the captain. That goes with the NG's as well...

Sorry. I had totally forgotten to add that to the rules. *goes to do that*

PS. I have already added the point that NG's can't perform their possible gifts during the Night... (as the NG and the BG kind of join forces when their number goes down I had just thought it was clear the same rules applied to both guard-roles - but at least it should be clear now)

You know the basic problem here? Anyone who would make a really good Captain would also make a really good Were-Captain. It's not an easy choice.

However–

++Roa for Captain.

Because she's been making the most sense out of anyone, and isn't giving me wolf-vibes. (I did consider Rune, who wants the job and who I don't think is a wolf, but I believe Roa has better leadership qualities.)

++Guard Kath.

Because 3 out of 5 lupine conferences on Night Two contain the phrase, "I know, let's kill Kath!"

EDIT:X'd since Greenie.

Post 1- says we should vote her for captain because she doesn’t have time, says she’ll be back later

Post 2- confusion in response to Rune’s post

Post 3- silly response to Boromir’s quote contest

Post 4- List who won’t get her vote and why: Rune-weird, Lottie- new, Hakon- weird, Fea- Fea

(First helpful post, but she doesn’t expand in the idea- she finds Hakon and Rune “weird” but doesn’t try to move on it, and I wonder why not?)

Post 5- accepts Hakon’s explanation, but still thinks it’s weird

(Again, doesn’t try to move forward on her suspicion. Let’s be honest, calling someone weird in this game is a way of saying they’re suspicious without saying they’re suspicious, so why isn’t she looking into it?)

Post 6- Still thinks Hakon’s “weird”

Post 7- Likes Nienna’s summary, thinks I should keep in mind that Kath tends to be quiet, clarifies what we need to vote on.

Post 8- votes Val for guard and Legate for captain

(No word on her suspicions from earlier. What happened?)

And people, I know the captain vote is important, but we are still wolf hunting here.

Yep. I misunderstood you - I thought you were talking about less vocal players instead of players who don't turn up at all. Thanks for the clarification.
