Werewolf, why to play or not to play? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm sure it will be very nice to play with the same old people again after long, though.

This is rather at a tangent from the topic, but I want to share it anyway. One problem with getting a bit too close to fellow Werewolf players is that the relationship could impair one's judgment in the game. In one game, for example, a werecreature was one vote away from getting lynched, and the loss or victory for either side lay in the hands of someone who was rather close to the werecreature. In the end the would-be swing voter chose not to vote, citing an unwillingness to vote for the werecreature as one of the reasons, although the non-voter was also not confident of the werecreature's villainous ways so their closeness was not the main reason. In the end the werecreature won.

Moral of the story? When in doubt, you can always use a trusty abacus.
