Bob: I think Frank is the wolf!
Sue: Why do you think that?
Bob: He was really quiet last round, and that makes me suspicious. On that note, I'll Vote: Lynch Frank
Frank: Oh come on now, that's totally not fair. I was quiet because I knew you'd come after me next. If anything, you're even more suspicious with that flimsy logic. Vote: Lynch Bob
Sue: No, Bob makes sense, you're acting really wolfy. Vote: Lynch Frank
Kareen: Vote: Lynch Frank
Host at the end of the phase: With 3 votes, Frank has been lynched. He was a Werewolf
I moved the topic. In other news, I vote: Doc because he's always the wolf. I mean, not in recent games, but you can never be too careful.
I suppose I wouldn't be breaking the truce if I just kinda... allow Doc to get lynched, but I'll vote for Ruguo. I really want to see Doc live past day 1 for once.I'm glad you're finally remembering that I don't remember most details of games.
It's a risky move, but I like playing with chance. I'll Vote: Ruguo to get Doc out of the running.This, on the other hand. Sure, I'm 'in the running' prior to your vote, but it's up to RNG (admittedly, generally working against me) and with 2 other people up on the chopping block. What it sounds like to me instead is direct action being taken against Ruguo, while using Laurentus' explanation and my natural fervor to keep myself alive as some sort of smokescreen.
I suppose I wouldn't be breaking the truce if I just kinda... allow Doc to get lynched, but I'll vote for Ruguo. I really want to see Doc live past day 1 for once.Fair enough. Had to do it though. It just wouldn't be right otherwise.
It's a risky move, but I like playing with chance. I'll Vote: Ruguo to get Doc out of the running.Morp! Someone had to do it for the memes if Lau and Doc had a truce! Also, what's with the second vote? If Lau already voted me, and votes are almost guaranteed to shift in the next 52ish hours, is a second vote really necessary this early?
Betrayed! By a fellow commissioner! My trust is forever broken.
Whoa ho ho, what's with this Laurentus-Aragonn-Doc alliance that immediately sprung up?1) Lau actually brought it up in the signup thread, it's not sudden at all
And diceroll my ass goes full conspiracy theory. :PIf it was a conspiracy, wouldn't I have just...also voted Ruguo?
Vote: Doc
Darn I misread the end of the phase time. Thought it was pm, not am oh well.
So to have RNG determine a lynch does that require more votes to be cast? Since that didn't happen this day phase when there were 2 votes each for the plurality votes.
Speaking of those people, I want o hear from @Mathyland because I see her on the discord and maybe she forgot about the forums, or maybe she's just laying low.*him/he
RIP Tau.I haven't had much to say.
I've noticed that @El Fiji Grande has become quite active around the community, but has not yet spoken in the game.
As to the experienced werewolf point, I would have to agree. The probability of having three noobs as wolves is very, very low. I'm sure someone could do the math, but alas, I'm too lazy.I only see one or two people who haven't played werewolf here before, so it looks like the chance is zero. Or if you broaden your definition of inexperienced, it is basically zero. So our "lead" about the werewolves being experienced isn't useful.
RIP Tau.I haven't had much to say.
I've noticed that @El Fiji Grande has become quite active around the community, but has not yet spoken in the game.
I haven't had much to say because we really don't have any information. Day 1 is always a wash, and I agree with Aragonn's statements to that end. I think it was clever for the wolves to nightkill tau first, but I don't think that choice leads us to believe anything in particular about who the wolves could be. If anything, it's just a compliment to tau.RIP Tau.I haven't had much to say.
I've noticed that @El Fiji Grande has become quite active around the community, but has not yet spoken in the game.
I don't like this response. Has nothing interesting happened/have you not been following the game/do you have no opinions on the Tau kill?
Really, even a statement that you agree or disagree with someone would be cool.
Doc: Didn't Voteoops, shit, I thought rounds were a day longer than they apparently are for some reason
There doesn't appear to be many fingers flying so far which is interesting to see at this point in the game. I don't want to be pointing any fingersStrange reasoning to my eyes...
I don't like this response. Has nothing interesting happened/have you not been following the game/do you have no opinions on the Tau kill?Honestly, nothing much interesting has happened. We've been very circumspect this whole game.
Really, even a statement that you agree or disagree with someone would be cool.
Welp, not a whole lot to go off yet. Let's go ahead and toss Vote: Wintermoot in the mix.This is the sole non-self-vote this entire round. This, to me, says cojones, since everyone else was too afraid to rock the boat to pick someone else at random. So, fuck it, I'll back his play next round unless some Startling New Evidence comes to light.
Sorry about that folks, I got distracted trying to find a decent free website builder for an upcoming project I'll be working on (and since it'll be a read-only website, I see no need to spend money on it). If anyone has any suggestions (current Wix looks like the one I'll be going with), I'd love to hear them.DEAD
Doc: Didn't Voteoops, shit, I thought rounds were a day longer than they apparently are for some reason
I'm just curious about the wolves' choice. Why Mathyland? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
That said, I don't see a joke vote on day 3 being much better than choosing not to lynch. Do you have some other reason for voting for Hydra, @HappySpin?
I haven't been as active on the forums as the Discord, but it was mostly that I don't see much point to discussion on the first day. You either get targeted by an inexperienced wolf who decides to kill the first person who talks, or you get suspicion thrown around the first day. This is why I am usually silent on the first day.
I could definitely see how Tau's death points to the werewolf being an experienced werewolf player. But with three werewolves, it was very likely from the get-go that at least one wouldn't be a noob.
I don't think anything so far has been super revealing. Doc and Lau made that truce before the game started, Wintermoot seemed like a random enough vote, and it's only been one day; there's not that much to reveal yet.
With a seer and two defenders still alive, and potentially one in the seer's private chat, it might be best not to lynch anyone this round. I don't know if Pengu will allow us to not lynch anyone on purpose. If we start voting, I'll probably wait a bit to make a decision.
I could definitely see how Tau's death points to the werewolf being an experienced werewolf player. But with three werewolves, it was very likely from the get-go that at least one wouldn't be a noob.Unfortunately...not a whole lot to go on there, aside from 'at least one of the wolves is one of the usual suspects' (The Usual Suspects: Gerrick, Hydra, Aragonn, (sigh) Me, Lau).
Dare I say...conspiracy! ;) :PIs it weird of me to think that, in a 1:2:1 vote, where you're a 1, not the 2, you would decide that a retaliation vote to bring it to 2:2:1, rather than 1:2:1:1, is a weird move? It seems like it would be calculated to make me switch over to voting Ruguo in the interests of self-preservation - that or gambling on RNGesus, which is historically a bad move for me. Had it not been for Tau's vote on Moot bringing the RNGesus odds to 1 in 3, I absolutely would have made that switch. Without firm knowledge of Ruguo's identity, I can't definitively say 'Moot must be scum trying to get me to be the deciding vote on a villager lynch', but I kinda like the odds on this call.
And diceroll my ass goes full conspiracy theory. :P
Vote: Doc
This, on the other hand. Sure, I'm 'in the running' prior to your vote, but it's up to RNG (admittedly, generally working against me) and with 2 other people up on the chopping block. What it sounds like to me instead is direct action being taken against Ruguo, while using Laurentus' explanation and my natural fervor to keep myself alive as some sort of smokescreen.Hmm. Wait. Shit. I'd forgotten this.
Without any ability to know alignment at this juncture (outside of the wolves and defenders, neither of which have any reason to attack each other at this juncture; it's too early for wolves to try to bus someone for credibility), it's also pretty NAI...but I'm suspicious.
That said, your assessment that I'd like to stay alive is dead right, so I'm not going to act on this suspicion yet.
Same could be said about you, buddy.Except I haven't piled my vote on anyone in the first two days, so no.
Except you just did pile your vote. And it seems like you've completely ignored the suspicions and reasonings of other people. You've put less thought and effort into your vote than I did.Same could be said about you, buddy.Except I haven't piled my vote on anyone in the first two days, so no.
Having different suspicions doesn't mean ignoring others' suspicions, and the length of the stretch you're making to try to make me seem the suspicious one is just further convincing me that you're scummy.Except you just did pile your vote.

Yes because a person defending themselves from getting voted off automatically makes them scum. Hey everyone! Vote for me! I'm the guy you want!Having different suspicions doesn't mean ignoring others' suspicions, and the length of the stretch you're making to try to make me seem the suspicious one is just further convincing me that you're scummy.Except you just did pile your vote.

I merely pointed out the hypocrisy of his reasoning.Oh really?
This directly contradicts Doc's earlier post:Except you just did pile your vote. And it seems like you've completely ignored the suspicions and reasonings of other people. You've put less thought and effort into your vote than I did.Same could be said about you, buddy.Except I haven't piled my vote on anyone in the first two days, so no.
And in light of Aragonn again going in as the second vote on someone without all that convincing an argument being laid out, that looks pretty sketch to me.In other words, Doc and I have both voted for Aragonn for the same reason, which directly contradicts Aragonn's assertion that I've completely ignored the suspicions and reasoning of others.
I'm gonna look like a flip-flopping moron here with 2 posts in 5 minutes where I go off on someone but hell with it, Vote: Aragonn.
While Aragonn appearing voting on piles is suspicious, I think it might be better to vote to lynch other suspicious looking players....are you trying to have your cake and eat it too as far as bussing Aragonn goes, because right now it looks like you're simultaneously trying to bus him and quietly protect him too.
Hey everyone! Vote for me! I'm the guy you want!Guys, we found him! Vote: Aragonn
I rather think a Seer would put up a slightly firmer defence.A seer I am not.
You could say I am playing a Devil's Advocate here but doing a terrible job at it hence my reasoning for waiting to see more of what is said first before I finalize my arguments and votes. I am not surprised that you find me suspicious because I haven't been the most active and I tend to give unusual or suspicious reasoning for my votes.While Aragonn appearing voting on piles is suspicious, I think it might be better to vote to lynch other suspicious looking players....are you trying to have your cake and eat it too as far as bussing Aragonn goes, because right now it looks like you're simultaneously trying to bus him and quietly protect him too.
This is some pretty weak reasoning that's pushing me to file you right between Aragonn and Moot in my Suspicion Rankings™, such that it is presently
1) Aragonn
2) Kane
3) Wintermoot
Of course, I guess if we find that Aragonn is town that might exonerate Kane for this...vague gesturing towards the bus lane...that he's trying to pull (because that's how weak a bussing this is, he's not throwing him under the bus, he's indicating where one could conceivably find a bus), because in the exoneration case (which I should stress is the most charitable interpretation imaginable), they're in the Seer Squad and so in contact.
But I sorta doubt it.

I can assure you all that I am definitely not one of the wolves.
Yes I am defending Aragonn because while he definitely has been acting suspicious; isn't he always acting suspicious in games of Werewolf and usually not a wolf in those games? Think of Star Wars Werewolf,Warhammer Werewolf, and the Werewolf Song of Ice and Fire (if you were a Lannister for the latter)
I think he is just trying to provoke discussion but in the process provoking a wagon.
Think of Star Wars Werewolf,Warhammer Werewolf, and the Werewolf Song of Ice and Fire (if you were a Lannister for the latter)
Mayhaps it actually is a member of House Valeria trying to cover their tracks.I totally get why you think it might be a member of House Valeria. I do too.
Alright, I think that everyone needs to take a step back and calm down. I've been away for a while and I see a couple pages of new posts, so I'm going to have to examine everything.This post makes zero sense to me.Mayhaps it actually is a member of House Valeria trying to cover their tracks.I totally get why you think it might be a member of House Valeria. I do too.
As for Aragonn, IIRC, he's always super active during werewolf games, and defends himself in a fairly logical manner by pointing out Melehan's lack of evidence. It's true, both Aragonn and Melehan both don't have that much evidence to go on, but to be frank, that's the best we have. And his response to Melehan makes sense, as the best way to defend yourself is to find another suspect with more damning evidence. This is the way he plays, and he knows to vote for Valeria as he (correctly) has in previous games. Now he is Valeria himself and I'm not discounting that, but for now, I believe his input is an asset at this point.
In my opinion, Doc had an interesting Wintermoot theory that was fairly convincing. However, I don't like how he switched to Aragonn within minutes, but I totally understand if he missed something and just wanted to look back. However, I don't really get how he implicated Aragonn in the first place. All I saw was him voting such that Doc wouldn't be lynched first round as always. :P
Anyway, at this point my gut is still pointing toward a Valerian for murdering tau in cold blood, putting it either on Laurentus or Aragonn. Laurentus has been pushing hard to get Aragonn lynched, while the bandwagon on Aragonn has circumstantial evidence at best in my opinion. I don't see what Laurentus means by Aragonn "trying to distance himself from the Mathy kill". As I said before, I also still don't get how Doc implicated Aragonn in the first place. From there it's just been a chain of Melehan, Laurentus,Red Mones, and Gerrick, with Laurentus' vote placed (since he's always active) in a way that helps perpetuate the bandwagon (not too close to the beginning but not too close to the end to be accused of bandwagoning).
Therefore, here is my suspicious list in no particular order:
1. Laurentus (he's a Valerian)
2. Gerrick (voted jokingly without much explanation)
3. Wintermoot (Doc makes an interesting point)
4. Doc (but he's not acting on his points)
5. Melehan (reaction to Aragonn seems a bit off, but then again I'm not as familiar with their playstyle/reactions as I am with Aragonn's)
6. Aragonn (he's a Valerian)
I'm going to Vote: Laurentus. While he always plays actively and aggressively, he's a bit too deliberate in his actions, knowing the reactions he would get.
We'll end this phase on 3/7/2020 at 1:45AM PST.Hey Pengu, I just wanted to check if this phase ends at 1:45 a.m. pacific standard time or daylight time.

the strange Laurentus-Doc alliance
5. Doc (this alliance...)I really don't know how this 'alliance' is so suspicious.
the second on Doc if that forms, though I don't quite understand it. Information is information.How have I gone from 'not on the top 3 scumspect' list and 'not making a wtf move' to being your second most desirable target?
how Doc has not exactly been voting according to his stated observationsI mean, I'm super glad we're discounting my second set of observations, which are what started the Aragonn wagon in the first place...
Laurentus was in fact a Werewolf!the fucking reaaaaaaaads
Also, *squints at those edits*.Yeah, making edits like that is, on the one hand, not brilliant, but in my defense I'd really like to point out that, given our current info that Laurentus was scum, if we also assume I'm scum, that means there's a 1/10 chance Aragonn is also scum (9 non-scum roles and 1 wolf role still being alive). If that were the case, I gave up a has-basically-already-happened 90% chance to kill a non-scum in favor of killing my fellow scum in order to make the most insane bus play of all time.
I think 'Doc is not scum' can just be assumed at this point considering the immensity of that flip, regardless of how many times I edit posts for the rest of this game.Not so fast! It's entirely possible that you're a wolf who flipped and threw Laurentus under the bus to save yourself from further scrutiny. And now you're quick to say that we should do just that...
How have I gone from 'not on the top 3 scumspect' list and 'not making a wtf move' to being your second most desirable target?I blame midnight brain. It was out for blood. I have learned I have three modes depending on when I post. Midnight brain has written the majority of my best logic, but has a serious problem with foot-in-mouthing me. 2am brain is good for going completely unfiltered stream of consciousness and had created some of my best ideas. Leaving normal brain to try and mitigate the fallout of those two during the day. So now normal brain will attempt to explain midnight brain's reasoning behind that: I saw the doc-Lau alliance. There were two possibilities: two wolves, or one wolf puling a villager down like I went for last game. So I threw a poke in at Doc to see how he would respond. And respond did he, in an edited post? I kid, of course. But I feel better about him seeing that reaction wasn't the instant 'I'm not a wolf' defensive. Please don't die tonight. I want to include you in my updated list tomorrow.
Well that's not much of a defense... :P Like I said I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. Let's see what happens tonight.Wasn't meant to be a defense, just slightly aggrieved self-pity. I genuinely figured I'd literally be the safest bet on the planet right now, and being told I'm still apparently hella suspicious, not in spite of but because of what I thought was a major play-of-the-game moment, is kinda grating on me.
@Gerrick you’ve been awfully quiet.Yeah, I work long hours on the weekends, and my wife took today off, so I haven't had much of a chance to really go back and reread in a bit. But I should be able to later this evening and come up with a suspicion list.
Melehan was an adamant Aragonn voter, and became quite defensive when I initially raised my suspicion of him. I understand his earlier point that Aragonn was the second vote on two different stacks, but Melehan was completely dismissive that the same was true of him. My argument to vote against him yesterday was founded in that reasoning. Given how hard he went on Aragonn, I continue to have reason to suspect him.1) Yesterday was the FIRST time I was the second vote in a stack. That's not the same as being the second vote in a stack twice early in the game with no provided reasoning. Yet you keep making it out like I'm hiding a second stack vote and provided no reasons for my votes, neither of which are true.
@Gerrick, you voted for Aragonn as well with little to no explanation. Surely you didn't actually believe he was admitting to being a wolf?No, that was obviously a joke reason for voting for him, but his "admission" could very well have been a way to make people feel guilty and vote/change votes away from him as that's a common defense tactic. And I stand by my reasoning that lynching him would have given very useful info (which you yourself agreed with before retracting your vote) as when it's down to two suspicious people attacking each other, one of them dying gives a wealth of info and pretty strong indicators. I also had not been paying all that much attention since there were only 2 days in which mostly everyone voted for themselves (something I don't think I'll ever do in a game since it gives nothing to go off), so I wrongly leaned towards Laurentus' logic as well as the others who were also voting Aragonn rather than Aragonn himself.
On the other hand, for the first two rounds Gerrick casts seemingly random votes for other people at a time when many people were voting for themselves. Perhaps that by itself isn't horribly suspicious, but then in the last round he absolutely latches onto the Aragonn pile with an uncharacteristic glee, acting completely certain that Aragonn was the wolf when, as we know now, he really wasn't.As I said before, I don't think I'll ever/have ever voted for myself/no lynch. I had (apparently wrongly) thought it's been well agreed that voting no lynch is just a way for the wolves to kill at night without much to go on during the day. Also, I did not "act completely certain that Aragonn was the wolf". At first I gave a joking reason to vote with the Aragonn wagon since I thought the reasoning by others had been pretty well laid out. When asked to clarify, I said that regardless of whether or not Aragonn is a wolf, his death would give us info on who likely is (since that's the game). At the point of my vote, Aragonn had by far the most votes, and it was not until later that there was a counter-bandwagon against Laurentus -- if I had changed my vote at the last minute to kill Laurentus and he was a town, I think it would've made me and Aragonn look 100% like wolves, and since Laurentus didn't seem any more a wolf than Aragonn, the risk didn't seem worth it.
There's a reason I'm not on anybody's suspicion list. I'm not even low on their lists, I'm not even on them. There is a very good reason for that. We have played together before, which means you should also know that I'm not nearly good enough at this to be playing some super secret 4D chess wolf game where I make everyone think I'm a villager because of my uncertainty. My posts were very much tracking my real-time thought process. Also, you say I'm agreeing with everybody, and I'm not playing consistently with my play style? I initially voted against Aragonn, so you would be correct in that case, but I removed my vote independent of everybody else, re-voted independent of everybody else, and then voted Lau (Hydra did contribute). That's hardly much of anything to go off of. Secondly, I'm not playing consistently, but I've also played werewolf with almost everybody else in this round, most of them, multiple times. At least one person should have noticed, yet nobody thinks of me as suspicious. You hardly defended yourself against Gerrick, rather you moved the suspicion on to me? The second least suspicious person in this game? You're currently at the top of my scum list, and therefore I Vote: Ruguo.SnipMones: Gut says something is wrong here. You're agreeing with everyone, flopping around a bit too much. Gerrick makes a good point about kane not really taking a stand on anything, but you're doing the same. Given what I can remember from playing with you before, you aren't usually this agreeable. It's as if you're trying to come off as a follower. I don't like it, I don't trust it, please form some opinions of your own.
@Gerrick Could you elaborate on "Somehow knew either Doc and/or Laurentus was a wolf"?
The bolding is my emphasis. Ruguo discounted the possibility that they could've both been town. Plus, if they knew that at least one of them was a wolf, why did they vote along with both of them for Aragonn?How have I gone from 'not on the top 3 scumspect' list and 'not making a wtf move' to being your second most desirable target?I blame midnight brain. It was out for blood. I have learned I have three modes depending on when I post. Midnight brain has written the majority of my best logic, but has a serious problem with foot-in-mouthing me. 2am brain is good for going completely unfiltered stream of consciousness and had created some of my best ideas.

Right now, my main suspicions are Doc and Gerrick.Well, I now know one thing for certain: Moot is definitely not the Seer, since he's still swinging on me. If he was the Seer, and genuinely this suspicious of me, he'd have scanned me and found me innocent. So clearly a bad read on my part.
I think Laurentus, Gerrick, and Ruguo are our wolves; I think Wintermoot is the Seer; I think he's contacted Hydra; I think Mones, me, Aragonn, Fiji, and HappySpin are uncontacted villagers, and I think Kane and Melehan are our Defenders. (Note for posterity, future me: I'm pretty much making up the defender list, I have no actual idea).Well, for one, I clearly fucked up one of the defenders, since it was Aragonn. On balance, I'm going to assume it's Melehan since in my experience they're much more active in a power role; Kane .
I do find it interesting that Kane and Moot have managed to largely dodge suspicion by being so quiet while HappySpin has been named suspicious for essentially doing the same.
Wow, nice going. Note on who have voted in the lynching of werewolves:
Neither: Gerrick, Ruguo, HappySpin
You mean Doc is actually innocent? Shocking.
Vote: HappySpin
This is so beautiful I almost wanna cry.
@Melehan were your seer/seer army predictions accurate?I had Hydra and Moot flipped, but otherwise yes.
HappySpin, was running silently under the radar a strategy or just circumstance?
I can't believe I survived a game.
And not as a wolf, even!No no, I went back through my history of WW games and aside from WWXX, where almost everyone survived because we decided to postpone the game then never went back to it, I've died in every game.
Was joining rank werewolf on discord supposed to add sections or anything? Cause i joined but I don't see anything.
Huh...congratulations to Doc for being the most suspicious villager. :P
In any case, I personally don't care for the idea of moving team discussions to Discord, and probably won't participate in games if that's going to be a thing, especially if they're going to take place on a private server. I mean, they're forum games for a reason, and people shouldn't be expected to have to be on Discord too in order to play them. That's just how I feel about it, though.
If anything, they'd be done via group DMs rather than a new server, since a server would be a lot of work to switch out correctly every time we have a new game.I chatted with Laurentus last night about this, and I will see what I can do to fix the Who's Online exploit. I'm open to ideas here, actually. :)
But PMs would still be a thing for forum games because not everyone has Discord. But group DMs are cool as well because it's more real-time, so any teammates on at the same time can be much more strategic with ideas.
But I do agree that this Who's Online exploit is going to ruin games if people can see when members are viewing/sending messages.

I'm not really opposed to group DMs, I just misunderstood Laurentus's post to mean that people would have to join a private Discord server in future forum games. We got that resolved last night, too. Perhaps if we go that route a log could be posted of the group DMs at the end of the game. :)
