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.

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.

Boromir88 · 11-13-2006, 11:38 AM

If it's not too late I would like to be the town Sociologist surveyer. (DIdn't know we were going with roles in this one

).

the phantom · 11-13-2006, 11:50 AM

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.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 11-14-2006, 06:52 PM

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.

I so called it....

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.

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-15-2006, 08:09 AM

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!

the phantom · 11-15-2006, 08:40 AM

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.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 11-15-2006, 05:58 PM

Delight, delight, I've just been reminded that I've a ticket to a show I have a many-layered obligation to see. Though I hope I'll be back in time to have a narrative post up by 11:00, if you see no posts from me at 10:00, assume I'm still in a theatre.

Fea, if you have a inkling as to whom this spineless critic is there is a simple way of confirming suspicions....

Oh, I suppose.

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?

No, no, no, I never said you weren't a WW. I just said that you were definitely not one of the two WWs that the village must slay, for Fea specifically said that two of the thirteen "players" were WWs, and she clearly defined who the players were.

I ended by saying, "If Beth is a WW, she is an extra."
