No, because it's night right now.

We can discuss now, but it could be wasted if the person we're analyzing gets night killed, so I'm going to wait for them.

We should probably not engage with G55 either. She doesn't know anything & is going to do whatever she can to provoke (if anyone wants to analyze Hui/their interactions, though, have at it - I'm going to be sifting through the living thread).

Who, me?

I have been kind to you. But speaking of provoking, here is a thought-provoking question I did not get a chance to throw out on the GT. So while we chat the Night boredom away, here goes. If The Phantom was playing, he would surely have figured out a way to exploit the Innocent Child role. Probably by making them reveal early. Why? I don't know, I'm not TP, but he always has a reason. It does give the village a known innocent at the cost of losing their dear Lalaith in the Night, but it may be very useful in untangling some of the knots that were tied on D2 and D3.

The seer has plans. The wolves have plans. The phantom always has plans. You know, they're schemers. Schemers trying to control their little worlds.

I'm not a schemer, and look where that got me.


... wait... that's not quite how that quote goes.


Anyway.

A known innocent is a game-changer in the late game and roadkill in the early game.

Mornin' Legate, welcome to the thread. We're all friends here, except for how I'm actively working against you and Cobbler55 is the incarnation of chaos. But that doesn't mean we can't still have fun!

Caught up to the first half of the thread while totes not-working from home. Bad Lhuna.

*raises hands* I was tempted to comment about it on the living thread but was paranoid it might be used against me somehow. Apparently anything can happen in this game.

I'm dead now anyway, but I will have to admit that every now and then I checked the post count on this thread and wonder what's happening.

Lucky we don't have a modmegil in the game (but I do wish morm were playing, though).

*raises hand* That woman is unreal. Gurthang and his Good Side was decimated in DWW I.

Also Mac, I saw what you did with the permutations. Thank you for noticing.

If it's not too much to ask, Noggie, can you do this with every QT vote until she joins us?

Genuinely curious, may I ask why? Mac, sally, and Leggie can attest (if they remember, that is) that I hate being evil and am always nervous and over-cautious when I am one. Except for this game. It was a relief to finally enjoy being a wolf, for the first time, but apparently evil Lhuna works better when she's nervous and guilty about being evil.

What was it?

The setting: a Faithful hideout on Numenor during the height of the Dark Times. Everyone has to be quiet in case Sauron's priests hear.

hS, game theorist? Maybe not.
I would join this game - if you promise not to make me a baddie.

I think I was there, but I totally can't remember. You know you've been gone from the Downs for far too long when.

I had a chaos-inducing suicide plan that was anchored on the Cobbler being alive, but I'm not sure if that makes her getting lynched early a good thing or not.

Isn't the fact that we can talk Day and Night already a manifestation of this?

Well well, but imagine if you didn't. And now you also were the first

That being said: happy birthday, sally! Should we throw some party here?



Though to be fair, it should be the Infected posting this one, not me! But given how nicely I participated in lynching sally, I think I can consider myself qualified...

I don't recall what this one thing was in particular, but I got the feeling that you were kind of writing as if you really actually considered I was the Seer (when, obviously, the moment I died it was clear I wasn't one).

Yeah, I thought not in that one. I remember you played in the first game I modded, which was incidentally also CoH-themed, "Werewolves Among The Wolf-Men", and there you were a Wolf, if I'm not mistaken.
