WW42 - Discussion Thread

[Volo]

I'm slowly recovering from a sickness that struck out of nowhere so I'll still need some time to get the theme ready.

It looks like we won't be able to start right in the beginning of January anyway, as we still lack quite many players and the phantom's game has just started. It looks most amusing though - get out your popcorn (or better something that at least tastes good) and enjoy the jokes.

[Nogrod]

You can take the questionmark away from my name as my part was short-played indeed in the phantom's game...

*Never play around the clock even if you have a chance: sleep well before you play!*

I will still reserve myself a right to try a more quieter style in this game. Let's see how it goes this time after this blunder...

Volo: Getting 21 players is quite ambitious but I think you should have 18 easily. You have now 11 (with a few questionmarks) and people will start to drop from the phantom's game soon with one/day and hungry for more playing as they drop out too early...

So don't worry.

[Nerwen]

My apologies, Volo, but I don't think I'll be around to play in this one. I will be somewhere without an Internet connection during part of January.

Besides, your rules have given me a headache.

[Valier]

well my game was short lived as was Noggie's. I guess I have time for another. I just wasn't satisfyed with that length of playing time. (lets hope I don't get killed off so early in this one....) Put me down to play Volo

[Valier]

Ok I've carefully read through the rules and I have a few questions..

1. Will the Defender just be told that their dream target is "not innocent" if they aren't, as you say they will be told if their pick is an Ordo, or how does that work?


2. Does the Guardian have a limited amount of attacks if the don't get a wolf? Or do they just keep killing ordo's and gifted till they eventually find a furry fiend? can they attack every night till they do kill a wolf?

3. what happens if in phase one the three participants of the day, have a deadlock? Like if everyone votes someone different and they can't change their vote?

4. Do you mean if the person attacked isn't being protected, when you say successful? Or do you also mean, if the Guardian kills someone who isn't a wolf do they not learn their role?

5. Huh? what do you mean by decisive vote, I'm not sure I get this...

6. So can they share this info if they choose to the next day? So if it was a wolf that died and they are an Ordo, they would want to share this most likely.

7. So noone will really ever know how close we are to the end of the game right? because not everyone will know how many, of what is left ? So the game could end abruptly if the number of one group of players is equal or greater?


Sorry there are so many, but I just want to get everything clear beforehand.

I may have to withdraw myself from the player list. I was busy with family and I messed up the timetable on Phantom's game, so I don't right now feel like I deserve to play this one.

Yes sir! And that's a good piece of advice you have there!

Oh well, breaks from WW aren't a bad thing, but if you do manage to get the conncetion - don't mind joining. The only rule that really counts in any WW is to survive, only after that come the different roles etc.

Sure thing, lady!

1. Will the Defender just be told that their dream target is "not innocent" if they aren't, as you say they will be told if their pick is an Ordo, or how does that work?
Exactly so.

2. Does the Guardian have a limited amount of attacks if the don't get a wolf? Or do they just keep killing ordo's and gifted till they eventually find a furry fiend? can they attack every night till they do kill a wolf?
The Guardian has 1 attack per Night until he/she kills a Wolf. So he/she may kill Innocents/Gifteds until the Wolves win.

3. what happens if in phase one the three participants of the day, have a deadlock? Like if everyone votes someone different and they can't change their vote?
The first person voted will be lynched.

4. Do you mean if the person attacked isn't being protected, when you say successful? Or do you also mean, if the Guardian kills someone who isn't a wolf do they not learn their role?
If a person is targeted by an attack and isn't protected, the attack is successful and the person dies. This counts also if the Guardian kills one of his/her own and not a Wolf. The Guardian will be told the exact role of the player he/she kills during Night.

5. Huh? what do you mean by decisive vote, I'm not sure I get this...
I copied a vote-tally from one of Mac's posts from Noggie's game. Let's assume that everybody has voted and morm will be lynched.

Kath -> Might
Nerwen -> Lommy
Valier -> morm
Might -> Might (TM 2, Lommy 1, morm 1)
Rikae -> Nerwen (TM 2, Lommy 1, morm 1, Nerwen 1)
Sally -> morm (TM 2, morm 2, Lommy 1, Nerwen 1)
morm -> Valier (TM 2, morm 2, Lommy 1, Nerwen 1, Valier 1)
Fea -> morm (morm 3, TM 2, Lommy 1, Nerwen 1, Valier 1)
Brin -> Nerwen (morm 3, TM 2, Nerwen 2, Lommy 1, Valier 1)

The first "decisive" vote came from Kath as it moved Might into a position in which he would be lynched. He stays in that position until Fea votes for morm. Now Might isn't going to be lynched anymore but morm is, which means that Fea's vote was decisive.

6. So can they share this info if they choose to the next day? So if it was a wolf that died and they are an Ordo, they would want to share this most likely.Of course, anything you know can be revealed (if it has any relevance to the game, that is).

7. So noone will really ever know how close we are to the end of the game right? because not everyone will know how many, of what is left ? So the game could end abruptly if the number of one group of players is equal or greater?Yes, sadly this is the case. It bothers me a bit, but I doubt that the other rules would work if the ammount of Wolves would be revealed at some point.

Good questions, if anything is still unclear don't hesitate to ask.

I don't think messing up anything like that should be a reason why not to play in a future game. Don't be too hard on yourself! Mistakes happen everytime to everyone. In fact a mistake is all the more reason to join the next game, especially in your case.
