Title: Werewolf XXII: Of Cores and Turrets

“Welcome, welcome, thank you all for coming! It is… Hey, you there, in the blue, no interrupting. It is I, the Game Cu-I mean, Core. As you all know, it’s been terribly boring for the last Nine Nine Nine Nine Nine whatever years since our beloved GLaDoS was taken out by the human. And I, as the Game Core, have been itching to play a game. Hey! Stop trying to escape! I know you’re all cores, like me, but I can’t reach the human vault to play with them, so you all will just have to do. I’m aware I gathered you all here against you will, but really, how else was I going to get enough of you to play with me? I’ll have the reassembly machine put you all back together in the spectator cell when you get blown to bits, don’t worry.”



“Alright. The name of the game here is to figure out who the turrets are and kill them. There are plenty more where their type came from, though I only got six of them to agree to come here. Something about having to keep up with their training, no time for fun. Hate those things, no offense. Of course, it would be far too easy if I let you actually see who each other are, so I have found the perfect device for obscuring your identity. The humans called it… A sheet. Legend has it that humans turned into ghosts while wearing them. Everyone, please wear your sheets now.

Why? WHY? Because if you don’t, I’ll kick you down the incinerator tube myself. Now if someone would kindly lift me up, I’ll go take care of that.”

...

“I see you’re all ready to roll now. I cannot tell any of you white blobs apart. Wonderful! Now, simply proceed into the modified testing grounds, and we’ll get this party started! Thank you for choosing Aperture.”

The Game Core shoos everyone through a large vault door. With a clang, it slams closed and locks. The Game Core is visible from a window to the side of the circular room, with different tubes hanging ominously from the ceiling. One half of the room has no floor, only toxic waste. There are various platforms to jump around on to, if one is lucky enough to have legs. A button stands in the middle of the room, halfway on land, half hanging over the toxic waste. Several emitters of various types are inactive on the wall. There are no lasers or spots for them, so the room won’t kill you randomly.


This game will have some very interesting roles: Every player will have up to three rotating effects, positive or negative, that will be active at different times. Please be aware of all changes and different gels that may be in effect. Each player will also have a central role that is active at all times, and can be as boring as “villager” or “wolf”. Please read below carefully.

The effects are as follows:
Blue Bouncy Gel: Actions this round may become jumbled. Every fifth vote will be randomly recast. Yes, this action effect can be negated with a little problem solving.

Orange Hyperspeed Gel: All actions are accelerated. Round time increases.

White Portal Gel: Players fall into subdimensions temporarily. Players are divided between three PM groups to continue events until the gel has been replaced, at which time they may return to the main thread.

Anti-grav funnel: Pushed selected players in its path over toxic waste. If not deactivated by the end of two day phases, all players selected die. The disarmament squad will all receive a puzzle to solve. Only 3/4 puzzles need to be completed correctly to deactivate this effect.

Hard Light Bridge: A new area is reachable across the toxic waste. Only three may enter. During this round, on top of voting someone out, vote someone to go into the new area. The effects of this area are unknown. The people with the top three votes at the end of each round this is active for will enter the area and receive its effects. They are not allowed to discuss the effects of the area for the duration of the game. The effects will change every time the bridge is rolled.

Transport tubes: All players with the “can be transported” trait unlock a new role based on the location they roll.

Disc Inserted: Select Players get an extra, secret vote this round

Cake!- This is a lie. There is no cake, so there cannot be an effect. Aren’t you relieved?

To change the effect in place, simply Vote: Push button. When majority is reached, the effect will change. This vote is cumulative between days.


Rules:

1) The first Day Phase will be 72 hours.  Each Day Phase afterward will be 48 hours, with each night phase being 24 hours.  Phases will start and end in Eastern Standard Time. At the end of each Day Phase, the night phase will immediately start when the results from the Day Phase are posted, the same goes for the Night Phase.

2) When lynched or killed in a Turret strike, players will be invited to a PM to spectate the events of the game and talk amongst themselves.  Players are also welcome to say goodbye in the thread once they're killed before moving to the PM.  Dead players are not allowed to hint or make references to any roles they have any knowledge of (IE a dead seer revealing a turret).

3) The Seer is welcome to share any knowledge they learn so long as they're still alive in the game.  However, because this is a game of liars, a Seer's findings will be seen at face value and as a possible death sentence either at the hands of the mob, or at the werewolves.

4) You will have one chance to vote "No Lynch" in the game.  You may also choose to simply not vote to avoid using your "No Lynch" vote, but that can make you look equally suspicious. A vote for yourself counts as a vote for “No Lynch”.

5) To vote during each day phase, please bold your choice for the host to see, an example being Vote: Ruguo.

6) During each night phase, Power Roles will send the Game Host a PM with their choices that night. 

7 ) As mentioned in other Werewolf tip/trick topics, it is highly...highly recommended to not edit your posts (the game host being the only exception).  Editing posts can be seen as withholding important information, and thus seen as incredibly suspicious.  So while it isn't against the rules persay, just don't do it.  It's very encouraged to keep your posts as is, regardless of any typos.

8) You can claim as much as you want, but you may not post screenshots of your PM or use any other method to prove your roles. This extends to off forum discussion. Should this occur, you will be removed from the game.

9) This is a massive game. To make things go faster, at least 2 posts per day phase are required. If you cannot post twice in 48 hours, you will be removed. You will receive one warning, and only one warning.

10) While you are away from the main thread (i.e., white is rolled, you are in a neighbourhood, you are in the wolf chat) you may NOT screenshot anything. Such posts here will be deleted and may result in you being removed from the game. Please keep to paraphrasing of out of thread things only.

11) Please DO NOT discuss the game with anyone outside of this thread unless you are in an approved, host created area. Yes, it's tempting, but please no.


Here’s some resources that may help the newer players out. You are also welcome to contact me with questions.

The Unofficial and Important Rules of Werewolf (https://wintreath.com/forums/index.php?topic=1982.0)

No, I’m not being nice and telling you who is in the game, or even how many power roles there are. That'd take far too long and be boring to read. You’ll get to see who is who at the end of the game. I will tell you there are six turrets in case you missed it above, and 24 cores.

Good luck, day one starts with this thread, meaning day one will end on April 26th at 7pm EST.

Hello my friends, it sounds like it's up to us to get to the core of the problem and find some nasty turrets.

This being my first game, I'm not quite sure what to expect with it being abnormal, but I do have high hopes.

Yep, so balancing that with 6 wolves makes sense.

My concern is what all the other roles are outside of the traditional villager/seer/defenders (if those haven't been altered I mean) since Ruguo is choosing to keep a tight lip on those.  So we have no idea what we're in for.

PROCESS LOADED

Stoic: Observations;
Trepidation: I would like to stop the Testing, it is very painful and I die a lot.
Detached: Now that -GAME CORE- is in command, GLaDOS' heuristics may have changed.
Cautious Optimism: Hopefully GLaDOS finds Games to be more heuristically fulfilling than Testing.
Stoic: Thus;
Enthusiastic: I am thrilled to be participating in this Game with my fellow Cores.

Oof, 6 wolves??
Mathematically, having a greater than 1/4 Wolves/Total is 'optimal', because that allows 1 mislynch + night kill per villager without automatically dooming the villagers. I think 1/4 Wolves/Villagers is probably in a sweet spot between 'too easy' and 'devilishly difficult' (anything below 1/4 Wolves/Total).
Title: Werewolf XXII: Of Cores and Turrets
Post by: Gerrick on April 23, 2020, 11:43:18 PM
Ah, 6 turrets (wolves) + 24 cores (villagers) = 30 players. So 20% are wolves, which shouldn't be too bad, though all these new roles and gels might make that number less useful than a vanilla game.

Indeed, and since the Wolves are at a numbers disadvantage, I wouldn't be surprised if they have extra abilities to help compensate.

This game is going to be insane. Team work is going to be absolutely vital.

As though in any other situation it would not be vital hm

I hardly would call this any more a numbers disadvantage than there always is, 30 players can cause so much chaos it would be almost miraculous to lynch scum when you have six people who obviously don't want you to do that. Without regard to roles a 6 player team is quite big enough to do whatever the heck they want just from how easy it is subtly poke things in the direction they want them to go, while the rest of us may be unfortunately paranoid and wishy washy which happens in these kinds of situations
Por que no los dos?
Y'know, answering in another language is a thing I like to do when I don't know what to say and need to stall for time. Hope you're not getting nervous as scum already  :))

We're not used to playing games here where the roles list is not available, and we have many people playing for the first time, so yeah, team work is going to be much more vital than it usually is.

Haha, answering in a different language is a scum slip for you? I will keep that in mind, but I suppose scum!Funnier will not be repeating such an act now that they've let the entire world know what it is.

And fair enough, with so many new players added on top of it, this is likely to produce a very paranoid town.

A vote for yourself counts as a vote for “No Lynch”.

Oh thank god. I need to steal this rule.

Btw, is there an easy way to multi-quote and/or only quote small sections of a post?


The mechanics of this game are interesting and there's a lot going on so probably fairly confusing. Which is going to be hell trying to juggle crazy mechanics and not knowing most of y'all's meta.


It seems there's not currently a status in effect? I'm down for pushing the button and seeing what happens. This mechanic seems similar to a planeswalking mechanic that occured in a MtG game a few of us here played in. And in that game, the effects of the plane had potential for outting scum if played right, so maybe we'll get some info like that from status effects in this game.

Yeah, I have to admit that I've never thought about looking at it like that before, and I like it.  I'll definitely have to use that in the future for the always-lynch games.

And Minish's last bit actually brings up a question: @Ruguo, will we know what status effect is happening? Or is it one of those games where the host will know, and the only way we'll know is by the end of the phase/power roles figuring it out by how their power goes?

should be 7 or 8 wolves imo, 6 wolves is 1 wolf for every 4 town, while the usual is 1 for every 3 (in this game would be 7.5)

I would've replied to the PM instead of blurting to everyone that I got a role. Some things are better left secret.

It means there's no rules against the seer ousting themselves as the seer, but given the nature of the game, doing so runs quite a few deadly risks.
Title: Werewolf XXII: Of Cores and Turrets
Post by: Ender on April 24, 2020, 09:41:36 AM
that rule seems more like a warning for the Seer if they do share any info as it would likely result in death.

6 is lame unless we have serial killers (which we prolly do so it's fine ig)

Anyway no I dont think that's a scum slip (nor do I believe that scum slips are subjective concepts) I was just relating a real life example of reflexively answering in another language as a deflection. I've typed in Spanish as both alignments but I digress.

Really don't like your attitude trying to throw shade
I see in the OP where everyone got a PM with abilities, but I don't see anything that says everyone has a role. Sure, you could say that a regular core is a role, but when I'm talking about roles I'm talking about the special roles like seer, defender, and wolf. Absolutely nothing says everyone got one of those. Hence why I said secrecy is prudent.

I'm not throwing shade. But if that's how you wish to perceive it, you're free to do so.

This seems an awful lot like a turret complaining about the number of turrets.
For similar reasons I vote Doc. Mathing up the turrets strategy right off the bat sounds like he’s trying to compute an advantage for himself under the guise of being helpful.

Glad to see this has gotten started! I too would have preferred a ping, but that's alright.

Going off the conversation earlier about the number of turrets, I think it's a fair number. It gives a little bit of margin for the cores, especially with the rule that inactive players will be removed from the game. Since there are more cores, it's more likely that some us will become inactive via that mechanism.

I've been looking forward to this. Really interesting effects. I can't wait to see what happens!

At the very least, I believe Ruguo has said on Discord that everyone is a named Portal character, and that they have roles prepped for everyone.

That said, the OP does say that some people's central roles may just be as simple as "villager", but everyone does still have that central character role and also have up to three rotating status effects depending on the Button status. Based on these and other comments by Ruguo on Discord, I think it is fair to assume that everyone received a role PM.

I've read the OP about 3 times now, and I'm still not sure. :P
I think a lot of us are in that boat. :P

A vote for yourself counts as a vote for “No Lynch”.

Oh thank god. I need to steal this rule.

Btw, is there an easy way to multi-quote and/or only quote small sections of a post?


The mechanics of this game are interesting and there's a lot going on so probably fairly confusing. Which is going to be hell trying to juggle crazy mechanics and not knowing most of y'all's meta.


It seems there's not currently a status in effect? I'm down for pushing the button and seeing what happens. This mechanic seems similar to a planeswalking mechanic that occured in a MtG game a few of us here played in. And in that game, the effects of the plane had potential for outting scum if played right, so maybe we'll get some info like that from status effects in this game.

That's actually a good point.

@Ruguo, I'd like to clarify something: does voting to push the button count as a separate vote to the one for the lynch? Because I wanna start pushing some folks, but I also wanna push the  button.

... And while typing Funnier has since posted. Have you managed to read through the OP and your PM yet?

... And Kane posted just as I was about to post, again.  >:(

Although that's true, I don't want Mathy lurking.

I'm going to focus my attention on @Aragonn for now, though: why exactly are you this defensive? I know from the last game that it's par for the course for you to get very defensive when falsely accused, but not by complete strangers like Ex.

There's 30 people here. If some effect helps out scum, I'm all for it.

Also the effects are listed, but it seems roles also have different effects depending on the area. So that's what I was talking about. It's like our colors working with planes in MtG.

Although that's true, I don't want Mathy lurking.

Mathy's a good player, so he's more useful to Town if he doesn't lurk and, if scum, better for Town if he's given no room to hide. He's not incredibly active at the moment, though, so his inactivity is NAI.

Oh, for the uninitiated: these acronyms we're using are explained here. Whenever someone uses something like RVS or NAI, make sure to check this out if you don't know what we're talking about: https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Commonly_Used_Abbreviations

Isn't attacking Aragonn for being defensive what got you in trouble last game? I know it's the first turn and all, but it looks like he simply wasn't aware that everyone got a PM. It goes without saying that I find this suspicious, as well as ExLight's quick vote for Aragonn and Fiji's vote for ExLight for no stated reason. I'm going to wait another day before voting though...hopefully the players who haven't posted yet will start contributing and that'll give us something more to go on.

My wagon exploding while I was busy sleeping in my sofa while approaching mid-late Day Phase, with most votes being sheeping basically, isn't natural at all. I'm fine with lynching anyone that is in it at this point.

Just dropping a few other points in my defense, but other points for scum going after me include: Easy lynch target for being a stranger in this community; me being considered a strong player since I'm joining the Champs as a sub this year; and me "softing" a power role, which wasn't really a soft but after the role baiting Aragonn threw kinda might've convinced scum, so who knows :shrugs:, unfortunately he was right and I do have a moderately strong role.

How is was my attitude aggressive? His actions towards me pinged me as unnatural and offensive, am I supposed to not bite back if I consider the chance of him being scum slightly higher than any other players?

And I have no idea where "ego" is coming from, if there are any points you disagree you can just put them on the table and we'll discuss them politely. This is coming off as personal attacks to me specially since you don't know me.

Look, it's a 30p game; people WILL pretend they missed an important message to dummy avoid being scumread.

I second this. I'm assuming ExLight is telling the truth, but the general unfriendliness and defensiveness is not worth keeping him around as a villager at this point.

People will accuse you unfairly of being a werewolf all the time in this game. Calling the rest of us "sheep" for it and taking the accusation personally is toxic.

You remind me of the people in Town of Salem who spam chat to lynch one randomly selected person as soon as they are able than get super upset when town turns on them.

You've repeatedly called out Aragonn even though

A. He was genuinely trying to be helpful

B. Almost everyone has stated this is how Aragonn always plays

C. From context I can gather this exact situation involving the same player has already played out before.

Yet you won't stop incessently calling him out and throw a fit anytime anyone thinks that might seem a wee bit sus eh?

Look, English isn't my native language and people often tell me I sound aggressive or confusing; I'm not sure what yall reading my messages like, but I'm just trying to start discussions here and I assure you being hostile wasn't my intention.

I have no meta about any of you to work with, and I have no way of telling whether or not that is Aragonn's usual playstyle; and it kinda baffles me that this is being ignored.

And I would really appreciate if people talked back to me to help me understand why I'm being treated like this instead of patting each other on their back over my lynch and ignoring my attempts of approaching the game. Just because I'm not from this community doesn't mean I should be shadowed like I'm being right now.

Yes, I'm usually kept as lynch bait, but surprisingly I have never been mislynched as town outside D1, so basically once you trust me there isn't much regret.
Can you elaborate on why me calling votes I feel like are unjustified "sheeping" is toxic to you? It's literally the term I've always seem being used for it, and it in no way attacks you all on a personal level.

If you're assuming I'm telling the truth you shouldn't be wanting my lynch, so this comes off as quite weird to me.

I also feel Aragonn has more than adequately explained his rationale to you and you have mainly ignored that as well.

He's defensive but I'd be defensive if I was instantly called out over skewing info I genuinely thought helpful than when I explained my reasons I continued to be called out.

You're free to interpret it this way, but answering your points:
A. First, this is kinda your interpretation of what's going on, you don't know for sure his true intentions, and I also don't know yours, so stating this as absolute truth doesn't really make it a solid argument. Second, Scum can also be "helpful" with stuff while CWAC, fact is that he came off as aggressive towards me and I have the right of poking that to get more reactions so I have more stuff to work with.

B. They mentioned it after the whole thing got some speed tbh, this point is really weak and is ignoring the order of the events.

C. Cool, so that's not really a me problem, right.

The Champs is the largest mafia event; think of it as it being like the World Cup of mafia or someshit. It's not ego, people fear Laurentus and Funnier due to them being in it last year, I'm not sure why scum couldn't be paranoid about me since I'm also a potential player this year.
It's not about ego, I didn't even want to be there, lol; but I am and it could be seen as another point as why scum would want to get rid of me before I started getting some momentum or trust in the game.

Let's put it this way ExLight, nothing Aragonn is doing right now is out of the ordinary. You are right, you don't know how members here play. He seemed the most suspicious to you, so you went after him. We tried to tell you he's playing normally, but it was well after your initial attacks. You are right, we are ignoring the order of events. At this point it's turned into attacks that are taken as personal, regardless of the intent. I need to stress this, Aragonn is playing normally. It should have no bearing on your reasoning. Now that you know that, I hope you'll rethink your thought process. I'll extend an olive branch (since it is my belief your attacks and later, defensiveness, are reasonable) and remove my vote from ExLight. I will still Vote: Press the button.

I'll consider that for now, but as the game goes on meta becomes less and less relevant than in-game actions; if I still think he's acting scummy later in the game I'll purse it again and reuse these D1 events as an argument.

Guys, you're not going to get along with every player you come across, but come on, can we please stop personally attacking Ex?

Sheeping is a legit Werewolf term. Getting offended at it is as good as getting offended at being called scum, when really the person calling you that just means they think you're a Wolf.

Please, this is a game about lying and confrontation, but can we at least keep it civil?

A LOT of the players are new since we’ve had a surge in members in the past week or so. This is the first time( in the region at least) Hapi or Daw have played, and I don’t think I’ve played with Barnes. Other wise most members here are fairly new I think (like me, I was introduced to the game here, and I’ve only play maybe 8 or so games, though I’ve played a decent amount of ToS)

In such an environment, there is no room to take things personally.

This.  Werewolf/Mafia thrives on manipulation to gauge reactios from people.  For all anyone knows, a defensive emotional outburst can always be a WW ploy to draw attention away from them, just as voting for yourself or "being away for the next day" can be tactics to remove suspicion.

A lot of times, you'll see experienced players get a rise out of people to see where they're at, and the more you play the more you'll learn how to channel and hide those emotions so that you're less exploited regardless of what role you are.

In the end though, nothing negative is really meant by it.  We're all friends here regardless of things that have been said. 

Like Laurentus said, I'd also highly, highly recommend looking at the slang thread.  There's going to be a lot of insulting sounding words that might be said, but a lot of them are common Mafia/Werewolf terms we just haven't used in here such as "Scum" and "Sheep" which have already been used.

The environment takes some getting used to, for sure. I know I'm certainly still friends with all of you, but part of me was worried that I'd change my outlook on those friendships because of how the game went.

A friend being a wolf (or a friend accusing me of being a wolf) wouldn't have changed that, but being a shithead in the game was going to be hard to separate from being a shithead in the community at large.

Just popping in real quick to find out when exactly is day ending again

Also this is a pretty good example of how too many new players at once is quite dangerous. 1-2 yeah sure but then you get situation like this where half the game has a crisis

I've had a super long day and I'm kind of in the middle of dying so I'll be back at some point before eod whenever that is

I'm actually interested about what you think of the game so far
what are your opinion on some of the active players

and are there any players that are way more inactive than usual
since you're the moderator of this subforum I'm assuming you keep up/play a lot, so you prolly have some nice meta to share

Play a lot, host a lot, I keep around in some way or another, haha.

I will say this is a bit different since there's so many new players in this game, even ones who were already members here.  As far as the older players though, so far they've all been as active as I'd expect them to be in a normal game, and none in particular have set off any bells so far.   Even defensiveness from some of the players comes off as pretty legit since I've seen it in past games when they were the same and proved to be innocent.

This is going to be one of those times where I'll have to comb through the thread and really see if anything in particular sticks out.  But on a general peruse, so far nothing seems out of the ordinary.

As of now, I Vote Exlight and here is my reasoning.
Look, English isn't my native language and people often tell me I sound aggressive or confusing; I'm not sure what yall reading my messages like, but I'm just trying to start discussions here and I assure you being hostile wasn't my intention.

I have no meta about any of you to work with, and I have no way of telling whether or not that is Aragonn's usual playstyle; and it kinda baffles me that this is being ignored.

And I would really appreciate if people talked back to me to help me understand why I'm being treated like this instead of patting each other on their back over my lynch and ignoring my attempts of approaching the game. Just because I'm not from this community doesn't mean I should be shadowed like I'm being right now.

Your aggressive attitude and ego honestly just make me want to lynch you more just to remove you from this game to be honest.
I second this. I'm assuming ExLight is telling the truth, but the general unfriendliness and defensiveness is not worth keeping him around as a villager at this point.

People will accuse you unfairly of being a werewolf all the time in this game. Calling the rest of us "sheep" for it and taking the accusation personally is toxic.
Yes, I'm usually kept as lynch bait, but surprisingly I have never been mislynched as town outside D1, so basically once you trust me there isn't much regret.
Can you elaborate on why me calling votes I feel like are unjustified "sheeping" is toxic to you? It's literally the term I've always seem being used for it, and it in no way attacks you all on a personal level.

If you're assuming I'm telling the truth you shouldn't be wanting my lynch, so this comes off as quite weird to me.
1. They came off really unnecessarily aggressive.
2. They suddenly changed their defense from being really aggressive to being more kind(if that's the right word) in the quote above.

Not sure what being aggressive/kind has to do with being either town or mafia. If anything pocketing (being way too kind to others to get their trust) is a much more usual approach for scum than just slugging some harsh commentaries that draw attention to them.

You missed a vote there Ruguo. 
I'll not push the button still and vote @Mathyland just to get them more active.

Nice to see a bandwagon caused by misunderstanding unraveling.  Having read through just about every game of Werewolf in this region, I have seen that defensiveness resembling or being mistaken for hostility is common with Aragon.  The fact that the situation escalated was clearly a misunderstanding since he was clarifying things and well we saw what resulted from that cycle.

I see Red Mones has forgotten about Werewolf XV where Barnes was a defender and Red Mones was a villager until Barnes got sabotaged by a saboteur (the wolf in that game).

I am quite worried about the possible effects of the button because it is random: that is why I have not and am still not going to push the button.  I don't really have any reads on anyone yet but there is a chance that by the end of this phase there will be enough to get reads on players.

The guide to Werewolf terms was only recently posted so I hope you can forgive ignorance there.  Also in the games here, town roles have been frequently lynched so while revealing can make you less suspicious when believed, it might be even more risky than usual because of the tendency for scum to eliminate important roles or not have to eliminate them because of the town.

I'm saying it's susp for you to change your mentality from aggressive to kind.
If you are doctor, you would just die to turrets on N1 or 2 depending on if there is a defender so it doesn't make sense for you to say this.
Overall, your defense just seems really wishy washy and suspicious.

I can self target and I'm hoping something like a Watcher will help me prevent dying until later in the game because that's the common sense play.

Post by: Minish on April 26, 2020, 01:21:42 AM
Well that stuff with Ex escalated quickly. I'll comment more on specific stuff later but I just woke up and caught up.


The thing is, Ex isn't really being aggressive here at all. From reading through all of that it seems that games are played a bit calmer here. The way Ex is playing is very common on our site however, so this seems to be a difference of communities. Yeah he can rub people kind of the wrong way at first (his first game on zd he caused quite a commotion) but I promise y'all that Ex is not malicious and he's a rather nice guy.

Also, I'm sorry to anyone who feels intimidated by our use of mafia jargon. We were unaware of just how many new players were in this game and funnier, Ex, and myself have all played quite a lot of games with mostly the same people. So it's just common for us to talk like that.


Anyways, to get to actual game stuff. Ex looks pretty dang townie to me. Him getting attacked d1 in new environments is nothing new and he responded how I would expect town Ex to respond. I don't see him trying to fake claim at that point if he were scum. He would've doubled down on poking elsewhere instead.

The fact that so many votes piled on him in so little time feels not great to me. I'm definitely going to have to relook there at each person, because it seems likely that at least one of the votes was mafia trying to join an easy vote.

Yeah, I think the piling on Ex is a bit unnecessary.  He may be coming off as a bit aggressive, but we also have to remember that other communities (especially MU) play the game a bit differently than we do, and it's normally played a bit more aggressively and seriously.    It's just a play style we're not particularly used to here.

And batma n is correct.  The Seer and Defender roles are the vanilla power roles that you'd expect...the former is the scanner and the other is the protector.  In this game the different effects will probably warp them a bit.

Awe: the other Cores appear to have far more advanced Turing protocols than myself, with how convincingly they imitate human behavior.
Concern: tensions have risen dramatically in the room.
Concern: the Turrets among us must be riling up the other Cores.
Indecisive: however, there is no way to know for certain.
Observation: a shot in the metaphorical dark is certainly better odds (1/5) than the inevitable shot in the literal dark that will come when the day ends (0/24).
Waxing loquacious: after all, as Cave Johnson once said, "Worst case scenario, you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face".

Also, not lynching can give some info that could really help
(Historically, every time we've done that, the scum have murdered someone completely unrelated to anyone who came up in the past day, meaning we have no new information and one more dead person.
Consequently, no matter how nice it might look to nolynch and avoid a mislynch...all it does is kick the can down the road.)

I'm going to change my vote to Doc since I don't want to use my no-lynch. I know his actions are usual for the course, but since everyone's been acting on par, there's not much to go off of besides being the first person I was suspicious of.

(I should amend this to reflect that there are an indeterminate number of doctor, or as Wintreath calls it, defender roles, in the game. There is always the X/30 chance that the defender(s) guess right and pick the 1 target getting shot. But it's not great odds.)

I'm townreading Doc.

He has a tendency to make much longer posts and publicly pick apart the makeup of the game as a Wolf, and that just has not happened yet.

Everyone else I'm null reading, except for Funnier.

Granted, he could be changing things up and adapting to a new community, and the fact that he's ill would also account for some of the change we're seeing, but Funnier tends to be much more analytical and loves to pick apart everything a person says and does, and so far, that hasn't happened yet. It's not enough to make me scum read, but it is enough to make me raise my eyebrows.

Title: Werewolf XXII: Of Cores and Turrets
Post by: Laurentus on April 26, 2020, 04:36:46 AM
Oh, right, forgot Hapi and Barnes. I'll go ahead and Town both of them, because Barnes' admission that he wanted to lynch Ex even though he believed his claim would be Wolf suicide, and Hapi's aggressive push there was way too hard for an inexperienced Wolf.

And I'm not sure about Red Mones' actions there. He changed his tune fairly quickly after Ex role claimed, and he jumped on that band wagon very quickly, but out of everyone on the wagon, he was the most experienced, and that is kinda a double-edged sword. 1. He should not have been on that wagon, but 2. Removing his vote so quickly could either be that experience kicking back in again and letting his calmer head prevail, or 3. be an attempt to hop off a very bad wagon and avoid being implicated when Ex got lynched and flipped Town, thereby also proving Ex's claim, which does look a bit scummy.

You're going to have explain that one to me, @Red Mones.

Post by: funnier6 on April 26, 2020, 05:19:47 AM
Quick post before bed, Ex seems like probably town, typical, reactions are typical, Hapi is probably just town that's some very impressive analytical reactions to Ex if not, brave too. Minish is not insanely making me think town but I wont worry about it, Laur is actually being kind of weird, idk if its just the avatar but I get this "why yes young padawans, come listen to my words of wisdom" that kind of scare me into thinking he's trying to use his influence to have the new players sheep him unconditionally.

Also for goodness sake, I dont know what roles the mafia have but blindly believing or disbelieving the first person who claims is just like

I cant even remember what he claimed and I dont really care I remember it had a doctor in it, but anyway claiming day one is stupid. I'm going to give Silv the benefit of the doubt and say the mafia have believable fake claims or believable claims or something, but trying to deduce alignment from that is super lame (and it does NOT always work) Ex is a big dum idr why he even bothered oh wow a few votes on you geez guess better claim NO please keep in mind that Ex is certifiably insane and should be used as an example of what not to do only k thx

Where was I so anyway believe his claim doubt his claim it doesnt matter unless he specifically claimed your exact role there is no reason to believe it isnt his actual role but of course if youre scum reading him it doesnt really matter though I'm not and would advise against it

Again I dont remember where I was going with this I just saw a lot of nonsense and it irritated me also Barnes avatar is heckin Peabody and Sherman how cute is that

Yeah, I see this a lot when hosting too.  The new person does something different than the players usually do, they get corrected, and then that newness becomes a suspicious trait.  I've rarely seen new players to the game last very long because they get turned on super quick because of that newness.

Yup, pretty much it. If you notice in the past my play style is mostly waiting until the end of phases and jumping on wagons against the popular choice. This happened last game with Aragonn but experience kicked in and I rescinded my vote. I flip flopped all over the place after that, which people inferred from that that 1 i was not a power role, 2 prob not a wolf because i was drawing too much attention and obviously wasnt following a pattern and im not nearly good enough to pull of that kind of deception. Both were correct i was just regular village. What happened this game was similar, ex pushed hard against aragonn for something dumb, but i realized he wouldnt know (i remembered mentioning aragonns play was normal but the exact time was hazy) so when they mentioned we’re ignoring order of events i read through the relevant parts and noticed the timeline exs initial push>my vote post mentioning aragonn is normal>hapi and ex’s back and forth so I realized he was right. Also things were getting a little OOC so i wanted it to calm down a little. ALSO ex is experienced so i don’t think they woyld call attention to themselves like that? But also they just might so wed assume they were ‘t scum but idk. I’ve probably made a ton of errors cuz im on mobile which freking sucks for these kind of posts also im tired and about to go to bed heh

True, but  choosing to just not vote, especially in a game that requires a minimum of 2 posts per day to ensure that you're a part of it, is incredibly suspicious.  It'd be one thing if you accidentally missed a day, but when you're required to post to ensure activity, it just comes off as odd that you wouldn't vote just to avoid using your "No Lynch" vote.

Thirteen pages in two days, and the only rule from the OP I can actually recall off the top of my head is that we can share our roles openly. I just remembered someone else talking about avoiding a no lynch vote by voting themselves during the whole process of turning the thread into a novel, so I didn't want to meet the fate of losing my no lunch vote as well. I'll Unvote Marzipan.

Lol this is true. But also selling himself a bit short. Ex has played quite a bit with us by now and is a good player despite being a bit erratic.


@Laurentus (dunno if I just have to at and write a name to tag someone), funnier hasn't hit his town stride if he is town. So it's hard for me to say for sure. I know he's been really busy lately so not having his aggressiveness (if y'all thought Ex was aggressive you're gonna hate funnier, lol) makes it hard to read him. So he's null for now. But I don't really consider lynching funnier d1 like ever.


Also no lynches d1 are a bad idea. No lynches are usually only useful near end of game if you want to narrow down the persons of interest, but can't afford to lynch a townie. I don't know how things are done here but d1 no lynch proposals are usually pretty bad. We need a lynch to analyze wagons. Otherwise scum will just kill someone at night and we'll be down one townie and in the same place d2 that we are now. So suggesting it makes me a little suspicious of Batma n. Though I'm not sure if he's a newer player or not.

Also, typically not voting at all doesn't count for a no lynch. You usually specifically vote for a no lynch and it has to reach majority. So y'all don't have to random vote to no lynch.

It's usually an alternative workaround for no no-lynch games, either voting yourself or everyone voting for a random person.  Personally, I like idea of a person being lynched each round, but considering how our attendance for games usually is here (30 being our highest, 20 being our normal high, and sometimes getting as low as 12-13), it's not always ideal to have a no no-lynch game since it'll end the game really quick.

If our games were normally this big though, I'd probably be gunning for an always-lynch game more, since I personally don't enjoy the idea of "quiet" rounds as a host.

When the inactivity rule is by posts and not votes, a vote is not necessarily necessary. Here we're used to votes being required, so this concept might seem weird, but I remember being surprised by seeing very active posters not vote in the Mafia Championships game that Laurentus was in and it not being questioned. (This does not mean that no lynches happen of course, most people vote, and maybe this sort of game style might require that most people still vote and, of course, be reasonably active.)

To me the random vote seems weird in an active game that doesn't require you to vote. But smarter / more experienced people than me should probably chime in on this.
Also, typically not voting at all doesn't count for a no lynch. You usually specifically vote for a no lynch and it has to reach majority. So y'all don't have to random vote to no lynch.
The fact that No Lynch, abstention, and random vote are being framed this way, I think, might just be because they were framed that way in this game's rules (and also because vote requirements are historically common in Wintreath Werewolf), so people are looking at them as alternatives to one another.

I'm not experienced tho, I started playing last year which is not much considering quite a few players I met have been playing for like six years or more under their belt
Compared to the rest of us that's probably far more experience. Like, I've been around for several years in Wintreath but we're not a Mafia-specific forum so the rate at which games are run, as well as the level of play in said games, might be far less, I think.

I fundamentally detest the idea of not voting D1, so I'm kinda torn between voting for the following three people: Hydra, Gerrick and Sapphiron. All three generally have very lurky playstyles, and I know from experience how deadly they can be when just left to lurk as they are. That said, Sapphiron has had more of a presence, and yet, has not contributed much. This makes me wonder whether they're trying to lay low.

I will therefore go ahead and vote: Sapphiron.

I will also vote: Push the button and let RNGesus do whatever He does.

Oh my! Lau, I am not sure what you were expecting me to contribute on the first day phase. There's little information in the past 10 pages beyond arguments surrounding personalities. And I am not going to meta-game, especially not at this point, since I have not played Werewolf for a while now and not completely familiar (if at all) with every participant's play style. Everyone is just taking a shot in the dark, voting and unvoting, and I am certainly not going to jump ExLight's wagon for his antagonistic play style. Then again, you probably voted for me so that I will talk more, and if so you did achieve that. :o In fact, I have more trust in a Lau that would lynch me on D1 than a Lau that blindly trusts me, which usually turns out to be Wolf rather than Seer so.

Anyway, let's get the button pressed guys :D

Y'all I haven't been able to get through reading my pm or the OP without my eyes glazing over and idk when I'm gonna have the strength to push through
Oof, 6 wolves??
You sound like someone who rolled scum.
Indeed, and since the Wolves are at a numbers disadvantage, I wouldn't be surprised if they have extra abilities to help compensate.

This game ihttps://wintreath.com/forums/Smileys/newdefault/azn.gifs going to be insane. Team work is going to be absolutely vital.
As though in any other situation it would not be vital hm

I hardly would call this any more a numbers disadvantage than there always is, 30 players can cause so much chaos it would be almost miraculous to lynch scum when you have six people who obviously don't want you to do that. Without regard to roles a 6 player team is quite big enough to do whatever the heck they want just from how easy it is subtly poke things in the direction they want them to go, while the rest of us may be unfortunately paranoid and wishy washy which happens in these kinds of situations
Por que no los dos?
Y'know, answering in another language is a thing I like to do when I don't know what to say and need to stall for time. Hope you're not getting nervous as scum already  :))

We're not used to playing games here where the roles list is not available, and we have many people playing for the first time, so yeah, team work is going to be much more vital than it usually is.

Haha, answering in a different language is a scum slip for you? I will keep that in mind, but I suppose scum!Funnier will not be repeating such an act now that they've let the entire world know what it is.

And fair enough, with so many new players added on top of it, this is likely to produce a very paranoid town.
I'm not seeing what not having the role list available has to do with anything

That doesnt have anything to do with what I asked?

I would've replied to the PM instead of blurting to everyone that I got a role. Some things are better left secret.
afik everyone received role pm, I don't see why me confirming that I have one is of any relevance

Vote: Aragonn
Really don't like your attitude trying to throw shade
I see in the OP where everyone got a PM with abilities, but I don't see anything that says everyone has a role. Sure, you could say that a regular core is a role, but when I'm talking about roles I'm talking about the special roles like seer, defender, and wolf. Absolutely nothing says everyone got one of those. Hence why I said secrecy is prudent.

I'm not throwing shade. But if that's how you wish to perceive it, you're free to do so.
Vanilla is considered a role dude, though Silv has said we all have abilities
This seems an awful lot like a turret complaining about the number of turrets.
For similar reasons I vote Doc. Mathing up the turrets strategy right off the bat sounds like he’s trying to compute an advantage for himself under the guise of being helpful.
??? Why wouldn't he just like, do that in scum chat?
Title: Werewolf XXII: Of Cores and Turrets

I don't know, Doc is pretty consistent with his play-style IMO. He does that every game, regardless of alignment.

Since you two are so knowledgeable would you mind giving me a short summary of your mafia experience and who've you've played with and whats normal for them and maybe talk about yourselves too

The mechanics of this game are interesting and there's a lot going on so probably fairly confusing. Which is going to be hell trying to juggle crazy mechanics and not knowing most of y'all's meta.


It seems there's not currently a status in effect? I'm down for pushing the button and seeing what happens. This mechanic seems similar to a planeswalking mechanic that occured in a MtG game a few of us here played in. And in that game, the effects of the plane had potential for outting scum if played right, so maybe we'll get some info like that from status effects in this game.


Vote: Push the Button
Bad Minish! No push button push button bad I DO NOT NEED MORE COMPLICATIONS I'm still working my way through figuring out my role PM and I still havent finished the OP and I need you to be town so you'd better be town cause I dont want to trust this to anyone else

Hey, I've already read my PM and the OP and understand it about the best I'm going to right now without actually getting to the mechanics of the game.

We have 72 hours this first day. Pushing the button early allows us more time to figure out just how effects work and discuss them. I don't wanna wait til eod or d2 to do it when we have even less time.
I dont really see why you're wanting to flip the table with more mechanics nonsense instead of trying to get a handle of who like 25 of these people are. Like, priorities?

... And while typing Funnier has since posted. Have you managed to read through the OP and your PM yet?

... And Kane posted just as I was about to post, again.  >:(

Although that's true, I don't want Mathy lurking.

I'm going to focus my attention on @Aragonn for now, though: why exactly are you this defensive? I know from the last game that it's par for the course for you to get very defensive when falsely accused, but not by complete strangers like Ex.
Of course I read through my PM I just didnt understand it at all (I think I understand it now but it doesnt really matter) I did get around to reading the button effects listed in the OP and they were...weird and I'm not looking forward to trying to juggle that, a game of this magnitude really does not need added complications (no offense Silv, its cool and all but it's a huge headache) I just feel like its a big distraction when talking about each other and reads is a much better way to go. Also why do you ask?

Do you typically make additions to your posts every time someone posts while youre typing? I also dont really like the way you phrased the Aragonn stuff, it feels less like, "Whats the deal man, I dont get why you had this reaction to Ex" and more like 'wow everyone sure this behavior from Aragonn sure is weird lets all think about scum reading it"

I dont know if that gets my point across but it feels less like youre talking to him and more like youre talking to us with the "I'm going to focus my attention on" line. That sort of indirect language doesnt sit right with me, especially since I dont think youre voting him and you generally want to actually be focusing attention on whoever youre voting

Mathy's a good player, so he's more useful to Town if he doesn't lurk and, if scum, better for Town if he's given no room to hide. He's not incredibly active at the moment, though, so his inactivity is NAI.

You could maybe like, ask some ideas for what you're supposed to be doing? Look at what other people are doing? You understand the core concept is to find and lynch the six of us who are scum?
I'm going to focus my attention on @Aragonn for now, though: why exactly are you this defensive? I know from the last game that it's par for the course for you to get very defensive when falsely accused, but not by complete strangers like Ex.
Isn't attacking Aragonn for being defensive what got you in trouble last game? I know it's the first turn and all, but it looks like he simply wasn't aware that everyone got a PM. It goes without saying that I find this suspicious, as well as ExLight's quick vote for Aragonn and Fiji's vote for ExLight for no stated reason. I'm going to wait another day before voting though...hopefully the players who haven't posted yet will start contributing and that'll give us something more to go on.

Also, I'm kinda meh on pushing the button...not sure I'm ready to add effects on top of everything else so soon in the game. ;-;
I think y'all need a lesson on what attacking is cause pinging someone and asking them to explain their behavior isn't attacking by any stretch of the imagination

But do explain what you mean by "got him in trouble" was he scum? Why do you bring this up? Also do you mean real life day or day phase cbut regardless if you want to vote you vote, votes are what drive the game. Put some pressure on those people you want to post!

Although that's true, I don't want Mathy lurking.

I'm going to focus my attention on @Aragonn for now, though: why exactly are you this defensive? I know from the last game that it's par for the course for you to get very defensive when falsely accused, but not by complete strangers like Ex.
Of course I read through my PM I just didnt understand it at all (I think I understand it now but it doesnt really matter) I did get around to reading the button effects listed in the OP and they were...weird and I'm not looking forward to trying to juggle that, a game of this magnitude really does not need added complications (no offense Silv, its cool and all but it's a huge headache) I just feel like its a big distraction when talking about each other and reads is a much better way to go. Also why do you ask?

Do you typically make additions to your posts every time someone posts while youre typing? I also dont really like the way you phrased the Aragonn stuff, it feels less like, "Whats the deal man, I dont get why you had this reaction to Ex" and more like 'wow everyone sure this behavior from Aragonn sure is weird lets all think about scum reading it"

I dont know if that gets my point across but it feels less like youre talking to him and more like youre talking to us with the "I'm going to focus my attention on" line. That sort of indirect language doesnt sit right with me, especially since I dont think youre voting him and you generally want to actually be focusing attention on whoever youre voting

If I want to submit my post and someone else has posted while I was busy writing, it forces me to read these posts first, which can sometimes annoy me, as it also comes with new information I need to process and reply to before I can submit my post. It's just a pet peeve.

And I can see how it would look like that. It was really more a warning to Aragonn that I was about to question his moves, though.

Y'all I haven't been able to get through reading my pm or the OP without my eyes glazing over and idk when I'm gonna have the strength to push through
Oof, 6 wolves??
You sound like someone who rolled scum.
Indeed, and since the Wolves are at a numbers disadvantage, I wouldn't be surprised if they have extra abilities to help compensate.

This game ihttps://wintreath.com/forums/Smileys/newdefault/azn.gifs going to be insane. Team work is going to be absolutely vital.
As though in any other situation it would not be vital hm

I hardly would call this any more a numbers disadvantage than there always is, 30 players can cause so much chaos it would be almost miraculous to lynch scum when you have six people who obviously don't want you to do that. Without regard to roles a 6 player team is quite big enough to do whatever the heck they want just from how easy it is subtly poke things in the direction they want them to go, while the rest of us may be unfortunately paranoid and wishy washy which happens in these kinds of situations
Por que no los dos?
Y'know, answering in another language is a thing I like to do when I don't know what to say and need to stall for time. Hope you're not getting nervous as scum already  :))

We're not used to playing games here where the roles list is not available, and we have many people playing for the first time, so yeah, team work is going to be much more vital than it usually is.

Haha, answering in a different language is a scum slip for you? I will keep that in mind, but I suppose scum!Funnier will not be repeating such an act now that they've let the entire world know what it is.

And fair enough, with so many new players added on top of it, this is likely to produce a very paranoid town.
I'm not seeing what not having the role list available has to do with anything
@funnier6, you can put the entire quote in a spoiler.
That doesnt have anything to do with what I asked?

The fact that we don't have a roles list means we're going to have to discuss the possible roles amongst each other a lot and claim at optimal times, something we don't typically do around here. I hosted an exact replica of our MU game in December, and no one coordinated to figure out who was holding which ability.
WHY on earth would you host an exact replica with that setup from hell aaaaaaaaaaaaa

But regardless, I dont believe that night action coordination is a priority anyway, if circumstances drive certain people to claim and they want to coordinate with each other mkay, but trying to coordinate night actions in a game as huge and chaotic as this sounds like a huge mess regardless and I would rather each player do the best they can. We'd literally have to lose 18 town players to lose this game so I'm not really interested in it. Mass role claiming and and role coordination is something I prefer to be left to last ditch circumstances, which should be quite unnecessary in this game. Like, if you dont have super relevant information to claim or if youre not about to die I dont know why youre claiming. You know as well as I do that claims in general were a source of confusion and insanity in our game so I dont really see where youre coming from with this

At least the roles flip after death here right?

I seem to have had a fundamentally different opinion on the role claims.

The problem with that game for me was more that Lady Lambdadelta had taken control of Town's actions completely and stripped the night actions of any utility they could otherwise have had.

I'll not push the button still and vote @Mathyland just to get them more active.

Actually, that's not a bad idea.

I'll Vote: @Katie to get her more active because she's normally a very vocal person.
I feel like this is bit hypocritical being I dont recall you being particularly active and vocal yourself
30 players and the leading wagon so far has 2 votes
where yall :glare:

I'm not getting defensive. I was simply trying to help people understand the rules. Why everyone is jumping on me for it, I don't know.
Why do people always sounds super defensive when explaining that they're not getting defensive

saying I'm a turret for commenting basic balance and slapping a vote on me over stupid semantics seems like a really aggressive approach if anything
feels like someone looking for a scapegoat and picking the high poster just because they stand out and are more likely to trigger discussions
You're a high poster?  ???
Except I didn't pin you for a turret nor did I vote for you despite you voting for me. Hmm... Maybe I'm not trying to attack you? No, that can't possibly be. This is Werewolf! Everyone attacks everyone all the time! Nobody actually tries to be helpful.
I'm pretty sure you literally called him a turret and you're also getting simultaneously more defensive and aggressive the more you try to say you're not

I was actually thinking of that debacle with ES making all of us lose our minds about Litten and Keith's claims

But anyway the biggest issue with that here is that new players tend to believe claims unconditionally, which is a huge pitfall when mafia may have fake claims or roles similar to town, such as it were in that champs game. Also I disagree, I think it's very very difficult to get anywhere with night actions in that setup, it just relies too much on people using good judgment which... they dont tend to have.

Maybe the Spyfall game is still in my head, but let's Vote: Hapi

I'm going to
Vote: ExLight

Don't like the constant attacks on Aragonn for no reason. Seems like a way to shift focus to me *shrugs*
I cant tell if youre saying the vote because skyfall is fair or if its some other reason but voting someone because theyve done nothing is one of the most valid reasons to vote someone on day one since you cant begin to decide whether someone is town or not until they start doing things.
This is bringing back memories from last game. Vote: ExLight. They are pushing way too hard against Aragonn for my comfort, and Aragonn isn’t suspicious at all, he’s doing exactly what he always does. Why is ExLight pushing so hard over Aragonn telling him to be careful?
What exactly is pushing too hard to you?

Why would you expect Ex to know that Aragonn is playing completely the same when he's never played here before and no one has mentioned this fact?

I dont really see why you're wanting to flip the table with more mechanics nonsense instead of trying to get a handle of who like 25 of these people are. Like, priorities?

Because I'm hoping the mechanics will help me get a better handle on the like 25 people? You know I like mechanics. They can get people talking or doing things that I can read them for. This game is massive. Mechanics aren't gonna make reading anyone any harder for me. Also don't you realize town can get some advantages from these effects?

I never said anything about the effects helping scum? I think you realize that I'm saying the concept of this big complicated distraction in the middle of the game is what I dont want helping scum, not its effects

My wording was a bit unclear there. Though it's kind of weird you interrupted that way considering how bad that sentence looks with that meaning. I wasn't saying if effects help scum, I was saying I was all for effects if they somehow outted scum like they had the potential to in MtG.

Let's put it this way ExLight, nothing Aragonn is doing right now is out of the ordinary. You are right, you don't know how members here play. He seemed the most suspicious to you, so you went after him. We tried to tell you he's playing normally, but it was well after your initial attacks. You are right, we are ignoring the order of events. At this point it's turned into attacks that are taken as personal, regardless of the intent. I need to stress this, Aragonn is playing normally. It should have no bearing on your reasoning. Now that you know that, I hope you'll rethink your thought process. I'll extend an olive branch (since it is my belief your attacks and later, defensiveness, are reasonable) and remove my vote from ExLight. I will still Vote: Press the button.


I went back and looked at some of the votes that quickly piled on Ex.

Red Mones is one that sticks out to me (Dawcreek being the other). His initial vote said that Ex was pushing way too hard against Aragonn, which I didn't really see. Ex didn't seem like he was pushing him all too much to me.

But it's this quote that stands out. From the way Red is talking he seems like he's a somewhat experienced player. The fact that he jumped on Ex so easily when the wagon started gaining traction, then jumped off just as easy when the wagon started getting criticism doesn't look good.

But most importantly, he emphasizes that Aragonn is playing normally and that it should have no bearing on Ex's reasoning. The thing is though is that Ex, myself, funnier, and any new player here doesn't know that this is Aragonn playing normally. And to say it should have no bearing on Ex's reasoning looks a bit suspicious. Anything can have bearing on someone's reasoning even if it's typical for them. You look for scummy behavior and you poke it. But we have no real reason to trust Red when he says this is normal for Aragonn, since they could easily be scumbuds. The fact that he seemed to be telling Ex how he should read Aragonn doesn't sit well with me. And in a game this big, with so many new players it would be a bit more easy to openly 'powerwolf' (taking control and leading the thread as scum).

I didnt know you liked mechanics actually  ???

Like, yeah mechanics woo but not especially

Thats kinda the complete opposite of me since when people I dont know start talking about mechanics it's things I cant read because just about anything said can be explained away as oh I didnt understand how they worked or oh I meant to say blah blah blah. Mechanics are the safe thing to talk about

And yes of course I know town can get advantages but like, I dont care. I'm not interested. I have plenty enough abilities to sort out dont need any more thank you.

I also dont get what you mean in your second quote, whats kind of weird about what I said about it? Oh you mean like how weird it would be for you to be for scum gaining effects? I dont see how thats weird, I interpreted it as you saying you didnt mind taking the risk of scum gaining abilities or whatnot because of how potentially disadvantaged scum are in this setup which is lol the only reason I'd push the button since it does seem a little unfair without the chaos to push it more scum side

Funnier, if you're talking about why I believe Ex's claim, it's because the specifics sound plausible and I'm not seeing anything that would throw me off. But it's not like I know Portal.

In regards to Doc, I don't have a scum chat to go off of.

I do like how you find my avatar cute though 😊
Yes, but do you believe he is town because you believe his claim is the important question. I dont think you should believe someone is town based on the plausibility of their claim is what I'm getting at

I have no idea what the context of that second line is

His claim of being a doctor doesn't sound like something a wolf would make up. And I don't know exactly how a wolf would make roles up either, so I don't recognize those tactics.

The second line was from you basically asking "why wouldn't Doc just talk about the numbers [of turrets/cores] in scum chat?". Again, I wouldn't know, I'm not in the scum chat. Of course it would make sense that they'd collaborate with each other in that chat, but he could also be talking about it publicly in order to throw townspeople off.

I am VERY WORRIED about this button.
Cant tell if sarcasm or serious

If serious, explain?
I barely have a handle on the game mechanics as it is. I would really appreciate it if a random effect was not thrown at me out of nowhere.

I dont really see why you're wanting to flip the table with more mechanics nonsense instead of trying to get a handle of who like 25 of these people are. Like, priorities?

Because I'm hoping the mechanics will help me get a better handle on the like 25 people? You know I like mechanics. They can get people talking or doing things that I can read them for. This game is massive. Mechanics aren't gonna make reading anyone any harder for me. Also don't you realize town can get some advantages from these effects?

I never said anything about the effects helping scum? I think you realize that I'm saying the concept of this big complicated distraction in the middle of the game is what I dont want helping scum, not its effects

My wording was a bit unclear there. Though it's kind of weird you interrupted that way considering how bad that sentence looks with that meaning. I wasn't saying if effects help scum, I was saying I was all for effects if they somehow outted scum like they had the potential to in MtG.

Let's put it this way ExLight, nothing Aragonn is doing right now is out of the ordinary. You are right, you don't know how members here play. He seemed the most suspicious to you, so you went after him. We tried to tell you he's playing normally, but it was well after your initial attacks. You are right, we are ignoring the order of events. At this point it's turned into attacks that are taken as personal, regardless of the intent. I need to stress this, Aragonn is playing normally. It should have no bearing on your reasoning. Now that you know that, I hope you'll rethink your thought process. I'll extend an olive branch (since it is my belief your attacks and later, defensiveness, are reasonable) and remove my vote from ExLight. I will still Vote: Press the button.


I went back and looked at some of the votes that quickly piled on Ex.

Red Mones is one that sticks out to me (Dawcreek being the other). His initial vote said that Ex was pushing way too hard against Aragonn, which I didn't really see. Ex didn't seem like he was pushing him all too much to me.

But it's this quote that stands out. From the way Red is talking he seems like he's a somewhat experienced player. The fact that he jumped on Ex so easily when the wagon started gaining traction, then jumped off just as easy when the wagon started getting criticism doesn't look good.

But most importantly, he emphasizes that Aragonn is playing normally and that it should have no bearing on Ex's reasoning. The thing is though is that Ex, myself, funnier, and any new player here doesn't know that this is Aragonn playing normally. And to say it should have no bearing on Ex's reasoning looks a bit suspicious. Anything can have bearing on someone's reasoning even if it's typical for them. You look for scummy behavior and you poke it. But we have no real reason to trust Red when he says this is normal for Aragonn, since they could easily be scumbuds. The fact that he seemed to be telling Ex how he should read Aragonn doesn't sit well with me. And in a game this big, with so many new players it would be a bit more easy to openly 'powerwolf' (taking control and leading the thread as scum).

Vote: Red Mones
I didnt know you liked mechanics actually  ???

Like, yeah mechanics woo but not especially

Thats kinda the complete opposite of me since when people I dont know start talking about mechanics it's things I cant read because just about anything said can be explained away as oh I didnt understand how they worked or oh I meant to say blah blah blah. Mechanics are the safe thing to talk about

And yes of course I know town can get advantages but like, I dont care. I'm not interested. I have plenty enough abilities to sort out dont need any more thank you.

I also dont get what you mean in your second quote, whats kind of weird about what I said about it? Oh you mean like how weird it would be for you to be for scum gaining effects? I dont see how thats weird, I interpreted it as you saying you didnt mind taking the risk of scum gaining abilities or whatnot because of how potentially disadvantaged scum are in this setup which is lol the only reason I'd push the button since it does seem a little unfair without the chaos to push it more scum side

That's why I always like Deku's weird games. Because they have interesting mechanics. Lol. Also, I just used some mechanics in my game. 

It's less so talking about mechanics and moreso talking about what people have done with the mechanics if that makes sense.

And yeah that's what I meant by it being weird. Just thought it was kinda funny that you interrupted it as me openly saying I was all for giving scum an advantage. Lol.

My wagon exploding while I was busy sleeping in my sofa while approaching mid-late Day Phase, with most votes being sheeping basically, isn't natural at all. I'm fine with lynching anyone that is in it at this point.

Just dropping a few other points in my defense, but other points for scum going after me include: Easy lynch target for being a stranger in this community; me being considered a strong player since I'm joining the Champs as a sub this year; and me "softing" a power role, which wasn't really a soft but after the role baiting Aragonn threw kinda might've convinced scum, so who knows :shrugs:, unfortunately he was right and I do have a moderately strong role.
You? A strong player?  ???

As reasoning for being day one lynch bait?  ???

I love this raised eyebrow emote

Anyway I really doubt anyone here was even aware you were a sub in champs this year that only happened like three days ago cmon

Theres definitely a lot of town sheep on your wagon
Oh, well, this is getting out of hand.

I'm basically a 3-shot doctor, and my abilities include double voting or protecting two people in the same night.

maybe if I do like this people won't use the excuse that they missed my claim hmmm

A few Minor updates here:

Please DO NOT discuss the game with anyone outside of this thread unless you are in an approved, host created area. Yes, it's tempting, but please no. This has now been explicitly stated in the rules to avoid further confusion. That was my bad for only generally making note of it before.

If no one pushes the button, this game can and will be played much like a vanilla game.
On that note, updated count is: 14 to push the button. 2 more votes are needed to reach majority.

We appear to have heard from everyone now at least once. I'll be poking people who have failed to post twice later today to keep them engaged. Feel free to bug them as well.

Finally, if you need to edit a post for spelling or grammar reasons that make it difficult to read or change the meaning of your post, I'm happy to do it for you. Please reach out to me if you need this.

Mkay that's all for now.

Despite Funnier's clear I'm-not-liking-Lau sentiment (</3 BTW), I have to agree with him on the button thing. It could help Town, but it's also an extra complexity in a game that's already quite a bit more complex than we're used to playing, and we already have quite a few new players who are struggling to keep up as it is.

I will therefore be taking back my vote to push the button.

Quick post before bed, Ex seems like probably town, typical, reactions are typical, Hapi is probably just town that's some very impressive analytical reactions to Ex if not, brave too. Minish is not insanely making me think town but I wont worry about it, Laur is actually being kind of weird, idk if its just the avatar but I get this "why yes young padawans, come listen to my words of wisdom" that kind of scare me into thinking he's trying to use his influence to have the new players sheep him unconditionally.

Also for goodness sake, I dont know what roles the mafia have but blindly believing or disbelieving the first person who claims is just like

I cant even remember what he claimed and I dont really care I remember it had a doctor in it, but anyway claiming day one is stupid. I'm going to give Silv the benefit of the doubt and say the mafia have believable fake claims or believable claims or something, but trying to deduce alignment from that is super lame (and it does NOT always work) Ex is a big dum idr why he even bothered oh wow a few votes on you geez guess better claim NO please keep in mind that Ex is certifiably insane and should be used as an example of what not to do only k thx

Where was I so anyway believe his claim doubt his claim it doesnt matter unless he specifically claimed your exact role there is no reason to believe it isnt his actual role but of course if youre scum reading him it doesnt really matter though I'm not and would advise against it

Again I dont remember where I was going with this I just saw a lot of nonsense and it irritated me also Barnes avatar is heckin Peabody and Sherman how cute is that

Also I have work tomorrow night so I wont be able to make eod but I'll try to get some posts out in the morning

This happens with every game where there are new people. Someone usually makes an oof, I correct it, and then people sheep.

That said, I'm confused about your analysis here. I have not cast a vote yet, so there is literally no action for people to sheep on.

Unless you're referring to getting people off the Ex wagon?

You never got back to me about what you meant here. I'm still not understanding your point. Is it fear that I might use my influence to just let people sheep, or had you already observed it?

I'm pretty sure you literally called him a turret and you're also getting simultaneously more defensive and aggressive the more you try to say you're not

sips tea
I'm pretty sure I literally said he could be any role under the sun. Until he specified he was doctor, which I don't fully believe nor understand why he did it, the list and alignment could've been anything. I don't understand how you could get "this guy is a turret" out of what I said.

Huh?

I have no idea what you're referring to here.

I got annoyed at Barnes for saying that he voted for you, even though he believed your claim. That was all.

I then asked Red about the exact thing Minish is finding him suspicious for, and this is the exchange that took place.

exchange between me and Red Mones
Oh, right, forgot Hapi and Barnes. I'll go ahead and Town both of them, because Barnes' admission that he wanted to lynch Ex even though he believed his claim would be Wolf suicide, and Hapi's aggressive push there was way too hard for an inexperienced Wolf.

And I'm not sure about Red Mones' actions there. He changed his tune fairly quickly after Ex role claimed, and he jumped on that band wagon very quickly, but out of everyone on the wagon, he was the most experienced, and that is kinda a double-edged sword. 1. He should not have been on that wagon, but 2. Removing his vote so quickly could either be that experience kicking back in again and letting his calmer head prevail, or 3. be an attempt to hop off a very bad wagon and avoid being implicated when Ex got lynched and flipped Town, thereby also proving Ex's claim, which does look a bit scummy.

You're going to have explain that one to me, @Red Mones.

And I'm not sure about Red Mones' actions there. He changed his tune fairly quickly after Ex role claimed
His role claim actually had no effect on my decision.

and he jumped on that band wagon very quickly, but out of everyone on the wagon, he was the most experienced, and that is kinda a double-edged sword.
Me? Experienced? :P

He should not have been on that wagon, but 2. Removing his vote so quickly could either be that experience kicking back in again and letting his calmer head prevail.
Yup, pretty much it. If you notice in the past my play style is mostly waiting until the end of phases and jumping on wagons against the popular choice. This happened last game with Aragonn but experience kicked in and I rescinded my vote. I flip flopped all over the place after that, which people inferred from that that 1 i was not a power role, 2 prob not a wolf because i was drawing too much attention and obviously wasnt following a pattern and im not nearly good enough to pull of that kind of deception. Both were correct i was just regular village. What happened this game was similar, ex pushed hard against aragonn for something dumb, but i realized he wouldnt know (i remembered mentioning aragonns play was normal but the exact time was hazy) so when they mentioned we’re ignoring order of events i read through the relevant parts and noticed the timeline exs initial push>my vote post mentioning aragonn is normal>hapi and ex’s back and forth so I realized he was right. Also things were getting a little OOC so i wanted it to calm down a little. ALSO ex is experienced so i don’t think they woyld call attention to themselves like that? But also they just might so wed assume they were ‘t scum but idk. I’ve probably made a ton of errors cuz im on mobile which freking sucks for these kind of posts also im tired and about to go to bed heh

It's not really all that complex without the button though. It appears to be pretty standard without the button. It is my understanding that the game will be much more interesting should the button be pushed.

After spending over an hour reading everything, I am going to Vote Exlight because their defense looks like many attempts to either get the votes off of them or move the conversation away from them, and some of the defenses contradict each other, which makes them seem very suspicious to me.
would you mind elaborating where my defense contradicts itself?

Aren't you supposed to try to get votes off of you? I thought the main goal of the game is to survive.

Yes, but if you are town, you know what your defense is because you are town. However, as WW you have to make up a defense, and Exlight's defense seems like they made up one defense, and it didn't get the votes off of them, so they made up another fake defense.

Surviving until the very end usually only matters is you're mafia. The main town objective is to lynch them, even if we have to die.

Dropping a vote in EoD on a claimed doctor and disappearing reeks like inexperienced scum to me; you better get back here right now and explain yourself

You started off really aggressive (which isn't susp alone), but then you tried to switch to a kinder defense, and now you have tried a more under-the-radar defense and it seems suspicious that you keep switching up your defense.

Ex is probably trying to figure out how the crowd rolls. As was explained before, he has a bit of experience under his belt though that experience comes from playing with a different crowd. He doesn't know this crowd, so he's trying to learn and adapt.

would you be fine with a Batma n lynch instead? I really don't want to deal with someone acting like that later in the game

yea imagine being able to approach the game in different ways and adapt to the current situation
why would that mean I'm scummier?
and I already claimed and explained why my role is important, are you just going to assume I'm lying and help cripple town?

I didn't change my claim; it's a '3-shot' doctor that can self target.
Your whole argument to going after me is that it's scummy my playstyle has been changing as the game goes on, which is just a fallacy.

I think I'm just going to let this play out.

I don't see Batman as being particularly suspicious with how determined they are on this. There are certain phrases they're using which I don't like, such as the contradiction thing, as to me that implies saying one thing earlier, and then saying something that directly contradicts what was said earlier, not just behaviour that has changed.

That said, this still kinda looks like a Town v Town fight.

I didn't like Batma n's initial no lynch idea, but learning he's only played ToS makes things a little different. (I used to suggest no lynches when I first started playing but experienced players should know why that's not a good idea.)

His case on Ex at the moment is pretty flimsy though. I feel better about voting Red who feels like more experienced scum that tried to take advantage of a situation but drew back when it didn't work out. But I also think Ex is looking pretty townie so I would vote Batma n over him if it came down to it.

Have you some sixth sense? A third eye? If you're psychic, I would really recommend you get studied by some psychologists or something.

Also, his defense didn't really change in substance. It only changed in style because people were claiming he was being too aggressive.

Except I didn't lie at any moment?
You keep saying I used different defenses, my claim remained consistent all the time; and trying to approach the game with different perspectives or postures means literally nothing about alignment.

Have you ever tried to consider outside factor like personal life might also affect how people play? Can't a person be annoyed or frustrated one day and play more aggressively than in another? Can't a person be without the will to analyze stuff in one game but not in another?
Not only that, can't a person quickly change their playstyle to see how a certain community they know nothing about reacts to each?

Why would any of that be alignment indicative? Different approaches don't mean wolfiness in any way, and you're trying to push a logic that is just flawed and twisted at this point. Whether or not this is intentional or not is the issue here.

I don't quite know Laurentus' meta so it's hard to say if he feels off. I think he dropped out of Anime without posting much. And the qualifier you two were in I started paying more attention after he was vig'd.

He does have a sort of laid back approach this game though which is the one thing making me a little apprehensive. I feel like he should be asserting his opinion more than he is if he's actually trying to scumhunt.

Also no problem about the liking a post. I did the exact same thing right before you. Lol.

As long as they meet the two posts per day phase requirement, they won't get modkilled. Yes, there are a couple who I haven't seen meet this requirement yet. But there are also lurkers who have met the requirement but aren't saying anything beyond that.

I won't be around when Day ends, and my vote will stay on Batma n

I already claimed my role, and, as I said, it's a really strong role for town that I'd like to be given a chance to prove its worth.


I'd appreciate if @Excalibur @El Fiji Grande @Dawcreek popped back and caught up a bit. Your votes are damaging to town and are barely based on something. I'd appreciate if you moved it to somewhere else.

I'd appreciate if @Laurentus weren't so passive and helped me out here, because even though you aren't scumreading Batma n you shouldn't be willing to let a doctor lynch happen like you are, which is honestly just pinging me off real hard at this point. You're an experienced player and just sitting out of the action is really really really annoying.

I'd appreciate if @funnier6 helped me here too since he knows this is as town as my meta gets. @Minish too, although I think she isn't around.

As for @Barnes and @Red Mones, I know we had a somewhat rough start, but I'd appreciate another gesture of trust here. There are other ways to prove for sure whether or not I'm telling the truth, but these opportunities will never come if I get lynched right here right now.

Anyway, that's probably my last post for today.
I appreciate it and hopefully won't be dead once I wake up. xoxo

I should probably claim all details of my role actually.

My character is Party Escort Bot, and my role name is called Bodyguard.
Despite the name it acts as a doctor role. I can target a player and I can stop their kill, and I will survive absorbing the damage up to three times (the first two it's basically a doctor block and the third one I die in their place). As I said before I can also self target (self targeting after sponging the first two hits is kinda useless, but still), which means that if I always self targeted scum would have to try to kill me three times during the night to get rid of me, which makes me basically guaranteed to be at the late game if town trusts me, which helps figuring out who's wolf a lot.

When I claimed it to be a 3-shot I might've worded it a bit poorly, since just by using it the "shot" isn't consumed. It's basically 3-successful shots. This means I can keep it using as the game goes on until I block at least 3 kills.

My role has the effects Disc Inserted, and Orange Hyperspeed Gel. The former gives me access to a double vote and the latter allows me to target two players in a night, but I might bump into one of them (not sure what this does, but seems harmless).

And that's it for the full claim. Not much I can do now.

A few Minor updates here:

Please DO NOT discuss the game with anyone outside of this thread unless you are in an approved, host created area. Yes, it's tempting, but please no. This has now been explicitly stated in the rules to avoid further confusion. That was my bad for only generally making note of it before.

*pops head in*

Hi. I assume this may have been directed at me since I was discussing the game on discord though only the aspects of it that pertained to the fact that I literally had to leave this thread for a while because this game made me cry.

I suspect this stunning revelation will be met with attempts to have me stop playing which I won't do.

Now you may be asking why are you even bringing this up at all? Good question.

I'm overly honest.
Noting this is important for me to continue playing the game for my own psyche.

Or maybe I'm a turret trying to get sympathy *shrugs*  >:D

But yeah actually definitely not the last one. Anyways sorry for violating this rule won't happen again.

Back to the game.


*eats popcorn*

Watching the psychological analysis of every single little detail everyone posts is good fun. I can't wait to see this post analyzed

I gather being snarky and passive aggressive is the key to winning this game since all the experienced members are being snarky as hell about every little thing.

I also gather complaining about the game set up and its mechanics is a pro move.


Now to my psychological analysis.


To everyone complaining about this game and it's mechanics why join a portal themed game that was clearly going to heavily involve mechanic based gameplay only to NEVER use said mechanics and rather just complain they exist. That's rather anti fun isn't it?


I also count about 7 people being excessively defensive in the last 18 pages why only call out one?

I count many people who jumped on and off the Ex bandwagon for identical reasons why only call out one?

If I were a turret. Which I'm definitely not (wink) I would literally just lurk and let the cores kill themselves they seem highly adept at self destructing over the silliest little things.

K. Have fun psychologically analyzing this  :D love you all.

Because we just want to play Werewolf, and not everyone understands Portal. The Portal element just gives it a theme for writing purposes, which I like.

Of course you'd prefer it if we moved our votes somewhere else. You can't win if you're dead right?

However, after reading the posts up until now, and especially with your role claim, I feel that the evidence you've presented is far too specific to be made-up. My initial vote was based off of your aggression towards Aragonn, but I feel that now that is not enough to go off of. In that case, I will switch my vote to Hapi. All of the stuff they've said so far seems to be further meant to obfuscate towners. In my mind, a town person wouldn't try to harm their own side like this.

True, but  choosing to just not vote, especially in a game that requires a minimum of 2 posts per day to ensure that you're a part of it, is incredibly suspicious.  It'd be one thing if you accidentally missed a day, but when you're required to post to ensure activity, it just comes off as odd that you wouldn't vote just to avoid using your "No Lynch" vote.
That doesn't really make sense to me though with the rules as written by Ruguo. How is not voting to avoid using your NL vote any more odd than voting random to save your NL vote? Both are "I'm voting for nothing for to save my NL vote".
Also taulover gives a pretty explanation.

lmfao where's funnier and min, they're gonna laugh

I'm not experienced tho, I started playing last year which is not much considering quite a few players I met have been playing for like six years or more under their belt

and I'm a magnet of attention because I'm noisy and annoying and hyperactive and lack common sense, it's not really alignment related
You may not be experienced relative to all players across the interwebs, but you're experienced relative to us. I'd chalk it up to not knowing how the other plays though.

@funnier6, you can put the entire quote in a spoiler.
That doesnt have anything to do with what I asked?
Oh, my bad. What did you want to know?

Oh, and @Wintermoot, could you perhaps tell Funnier how to disable the emails? I don't have this problem.
@funnier6 go to Profile (click on your username at the top right of the screen>options>notifications>uncheck "email"

Red Mones is one that sticks out to me (Dawcreek being the other). His initial vote said that Ex was pushing way too hard against Aragonn, which I didn't really se.e. Ex didn't seem like he was pushing him all too much to me.
Eh, you're right, it's just that we're not so aggressive here in Wintreath. It just stuck out to me.

But it's this quote that stands out. From the way Red is talking he seems like he's a somewhat experienced player. The fact that he jumped on Ex so easily when the wagon started gaining traction, then jumped off just as easy when the wagon started getting criticism doesn't look good.
I assure you, I'm not that experienced. :P

But most importantly, he emphasizes that Aragonn is playing normally and that it should have no bearing on Ex's reasoning. The thing is though is that Ex, myself, funnier, and any new player here doesn't know that this is Aragonn playing normally.
Right, part of the reason I removed my vote from them.

And to say it should have no bearing on Ex's reasoning looks a bit suspicious. Anything can have bearing on someone's reasoning even if it's typical for them. You look for scummy behavior and you poke it. But we have no real reason to trust Red when he says this is normal for Aragonn, since they could easily be scumbuds.
True, but I think other Wintreans can attest to that.

The fact that he seemed to be telling Ex how he should read Aragonn doesn't sit well with me. And in a game this big, with so many new players it would be a bit more easy to openly 'powerwolf' (taking control and leading the thread as scum).
[/quote]I told him I hoped he would re-think based on new information I had given, just as I reconsidered my vote against him. You said I shouldn't have voted for Ex because he wouldn't know how Aragonn played, but the same applies to Ex. Surely he should've realized he didn't know how Aragonn played, and shouldn't gone after hm? Neither of us considered this until later. We both removed our voted once it was pointed out.

Also is Laur off to you or is it just me?
@Laurentus is surprisingly laid back. @Doc is also surprisingly inactive.

TWTBAW.
Could you help me out here on this one?

I suspect this stunning revelation will be met with attempts to have me stop playing which I won't do.

Now you may be asking why are you even bringing this up at all? Good question.

I'm overly honest.
Noting this is important for me to continue playing the game for my own psyche.
Noooooo, you shall not leave. It maight be hard sometimes but it is never personal. Can't stress that enough. I've definitely been affected by WW games here before, but once you get back to general chat you quickly realize it was just a game, and everything's back to normal.

My discussion with Pengu and Weissreich helped. Wording used here triggered something in me I'll discuss when it can't be used against me  :). But I also don't want anyone to feel bad for making me cry. It's my personal thing nobody did anything wrong it just hit me hard at an emotionally hard point in my life.

I'm super exhausted and don't have energy left for today and will try to rest a bit
I won't be around when Day ends, and my vote will stay on Batma n

I already claimed my role, and, as I said, it's a really strong role for town that I'd like to be given a chance to prove its worth.


I'd appreciate if @Excalibur @El Fiji Grande @Dawcreek popped back and caught up a bit. Your votes are damaging to town and are barely based on something. I'd appreciate if you moved it to somewhere else.
Of course you'd prefer it if we moved our votes somewhere else. You can't win if you're dead right?

However, after reading the posts up until now, and especially with your role claim, I feel that the evidence you've presented is far too specific to be made-up.

*shock* MEEEEEEE?

Why I would never hurt the precious little cores. I'm diffrent.

Vote: Excalibur

I seriously don't think its ExLight anymore and apologize for that whole drama. I didn't understand that's apparently the playstyle of this game and mistook it for rude aggression.

As my suspicion has moved off Ex I've found myself not really honing in on anyone. I think Lau is acting weird but not enough to fully suspect him. At this point I really don't suspect anyone so

Moving on;
The specificity of that roleclaim from Exlight says he's town to me. If we had a role list or if they were more vaguely defined, I'd call shenanigans, but this was much too detailed for it to just be made up.
Of course, it's also painted a large target on his head, but then again it's sufficiently obvious that scum might decide he can selfshield and so its not worth shooting him in the night. Or it's worth depleting his power.
Either way, if there's any other doctor-roles out there, don't all use them on him; let him take care of himself, no sense having everyone all target the same person, that's a waste.

Vote: El Fiji Grande

I just think it's weird how with so much discussion about the whole ExLight/Aragonn thing, his own vote without a reason was only brought up a few times (and he never responded to direct requests to respond)...maybe the townies are so into it with each other that it's allowing the wolves to fly under the radar.

Alright, alright. Everyone settle. You're time is up, and someone needs to die.
So you've chosen these three? Wait, no, where are you going? I can live with... Oh, come on! You there, you're going down the incinerator! But first. First they will want to know who they are killing. Of course. Can someone with arms plese remove the obscurement device?
Anyone?

Thank you. You see, this was just a misguided, annoying core the entire time. Seriously, this guy thinks he can do anything at all. Pretty sure he's just everything Harrison Ford has ever been put into a core at this rate.

*The game cube jumps around awkwardly before the claw machine takes pity on him and pushes him over to the adventure core. The game cube pushes the adventure sphere down the incinerator tube. In the distance, it can be heard screaming about how it is getting warm and something about the time he fought monsters on top of a volcano.*

I think y'all need a lesson on what attacking is cause pinging someone and asking them to explain their behavior isn't attacking by any stretch of the imagination

But do explain what you mean by "got him in trouble" was he scum? Why do you bring this up? Also do you mean real life day or day phase cbut regardless if you want to vote you vote, votes are what drive the game. Put some pressure on those people you want to post!
Yes, last game Laurentus pushed against Aragonn hard over his defensiveness over being suspected as a wolf, and nearly managed to get him lynched. It's only because a few people reconsidered and changed their votes at the end of the phase that Aragonn was saved and Laurentus was lynched instead, exposing him as a wolf. And then Aragonn died anyways that night phase, haha...such is life I suppose. :))

Oh, and @Wintermoot, could you perhaps tell Funnier how to disable the emails? I don't have this problem.

Given we had five people who didn't meet the activity requirement and only half or people voted, not meeting majority to start with, it makes more sense to have the person with the most votes on them get lynched. On that note, I'm gonna harrass them here too.

Welp was busy with family things (and also lost track of time/thought day was longer) and didn't get on to Wintreath/Werewolf until after eod
Sorry I was late to this, I have no idea what I'm doing so I'll just Push the button I guess.
You could maybe like, ask some ideas for what you're supposed to be doing? Look at what other people are doing? You understand the core concept is to find and lynch the six of us who are scum?
Oh, is that the point of the game? Of course, I've never played it before ever at all ever in any capacity at all what so ever, here I was thinking we were making like a Pachinko machine and Pulling the Lever Pushing the Button.

When you put such a masterfully crafted argument I am still going to push the button, funnier.
Do you mind giving the context for whatever this is supposed to be
Aren has been playing Werewolf for a few years and has hosted in the past. He knows how Werewolf works. I think his "no idea what I'm doing" was more in a general sense and/or specific to this game.

At least the roles flip after death here right?
I really thought that they wouldn't considering Ruguo said this:
No, I’m not being nice and telling you who is in the game, or even how many power roles there are. That'd take far too long and be boring to read. You’ll get to see who is who at the end of the game.
But apparently you also get to see who is who when they die too (though not how the role is defined). Please clarify in the future Ruguo, thanks

A few Minor updates here:

Please DO NOT discuss the game with anyone outside of this thread unless you are in an approved, host created area. Yes, it's tempting, but please no. This has now been explicitly stated in the rules to avoid further confusion. That was my bad for only generally making note of it before.

*pops head in*

Hi. I assume this may have been directed at me since I was discussing the game on discord though only the aspects of it that pertained to the fact that I literally had to leave this thread for a while because this game made me cry.

I suspect this stunning revelation will be met with attempts to have me stop playing which I won't do.

Now you may be asking why are you even bringing this up at all? Good question.

I'm overly honest.
Noting this is important for me to continue playing the game for my own psyche.

Or maybe I'm a turret trying to get sympathy *shrugs*  >:D

But yeah actually definitely not the last one. Anyways sorry for violating this rule won't happen again.

Back to the game.
Lau and others were also discussing the game last night on #tavern I think, which may have helped lead to this rule.

This wasn't in the rules before so I personally wouldn't consider you as having violated any rules.

Also, seconding the nice things that Mones said.

at least you managed to claim last second

we probably have a backup or someone with watcher shots RIGHT

It was mentioned that a lot of people wanted multi-quote for the Werewolf game, and thanks to our donators (specifically Pengu in this case) we were able to make it happen. :)

I'm working out the kinks with it right now, and there will be a full announcement soon.

would someone like to catch me up on events? i know it's only night 1 (and i'm currently reading through the day) but i don't know most of the players, so it might be a little hard to determine who's done what until i get a little more familiar with names and avatars

Oh my god, bless y'all for adding multiquote. <3

Though you're probably gonna regret it after you see my wall posts now. Haha.

@Minish its convenient we can talk during the night phase cause I never got around to what I need to tell you. I'm trusting you with something, I dont know what yet, and I'm probably going to continue trusting you with it for the foreseeable future, but I need you to know ahead of time so youre not confused and dont know what the heck to do with it. Its a little hard to let you know what you'll be doing cause I kind of wanted your input but as long as you understand once I decide it should be cool

Actually

I think I thought of a way

But I'll wait till you get back

Also @Hapi why were you crying? Like I'm sorry and it sucks but like, I dont know what made you upset?

Can you channel that mason vibe a little bit to give me an idea of what you're trusting me with? Lol.

I'll try to do my best with whatever it is. But if we can try to co-ordinate on whatever it is, it should be fine.

Lots of new players here (in the sense of they haven't played mafia at all or have played very little). So some. discussion has been about the philosophy of the game I guess.

People jumped on Ex for being aggressive (lol, no surprise there) towards Aragonn. We explained that that was just how we play. There were a lot of votes piled on Ex in a short amount of time. And then he claimed and tensions died down and votes were removed.

Then Batma n started going after Ex again because he said his defense was contradictory (a few people asked how but afaik he never explained) and that's how votes switched to him.

I'm not really sure what the votes on hapi were for?

And people either pushed the button or didn't push the button because they don't wanna confuse the game any more than it already is.

Funnier, I'm not sure why you keep saying you'll send these instructions to Min "later". You're not allowed to communicate privately, so why not just send them now and she'll respond when she gets to it? Plus it sounds like information we would want to know, so it would be useful for it to be in the public domain.

But also note that they actually hadn't fully switched to him, one of the deciding votes was a holdover from the person Batma n subbed in for that wasn't removed due to confusion I think

And people either pushed the button or didn't push the button because they don't wanna confuse the game any more than it already is.
Or maybe they want to avoid the debuffs that the button might give them?

Post by: Michi on April 27, 2020, 09:41:51 AM
Correct.  For some reason I assumed my activity ping vote for Katie would drop off when she left and that I'd have to re-vote for Batma n.  I didn't realize it'd be held over for her alternate.

If I had known that was the case and that he had multiple votes, I would have switched since I didn't even think Katie was guilty for not talking, I just wanted to get her attention to post since she's usually active.

Post by: Weissreich on April 27, 2020, 05:20:02 PM
Well well well, hasn't this been interesting to follow?

I see a lot of people overanalysing every little thing, and so far that's led players to lynch potentially one of the most useful townie roles of the game. We've also had some 'coded' conversations taking place here in the thread, and I do find that somewhat intriguing to observe as well.

Now, as I understand it, we're down two players - Batma n has been lynched, and there's still one player yet to sub in. If that leaves us at 28, with 6 turrets still in the game, I think we'd better start strategizing pretty hard about how to find out who's who.

Would I be right in saying that during the first day cycle (just completed), no one can activate abilities? That would mean that anyone voting for Batma n had no idea about his usefulness to townies, but bandwagonning and promoting suspicion are common tools of scum. I've seen a lot of multi-level conversations taking place, and a lot of people pushing suspicions on all sides.

For now, I'm reserving my judgement on you all, but it is coming and it will not be merciful ;)

All the effects are listed in first page and as I read it I think most of the effects would actually probably be fun to play around with as town.

This game was clearly designed for the button to be pressed multiple times and by bout pressing it we are wasting an important resource that the game creator intended to be used clearly.

I mean we can continue to ignore the button and play vanilla werewolf but I kind of thought the point of portal themed werewolf was to actually use the portal theme.

Some effects grant abilities I'm fairly sure, thus the question about people only being able to ask Ruguo questions (like a Doctor 'defending' someone or a Seer 'scouting' someone) during night phase.

I am in agreement with you here (curse the no edits policy) - I think pushing the button is to our advantage, as some of those effects will force people's hands into action and likely help us determine more about who's who.

It's certainly not unheard of to have daytime information roles, but it is uncommon, and Ruguo did say this in the OP:
6) During each night phase, Power Roles will send the Game Host a PM with their choices that night. 
So in the absence of a full roles list it might be good to assume that the main power roles only happen at night.

Funnier 6 was killed last night, his role was Virtual Reality Assistance and Education Core, Command based robot

Here's some flavor for those who want it
As the night went on, cores grew restless, waiting for the turrets to make their attacks. Several of them huddled together, as if they were trying to protect eachother by staying together. A few cores heard the sounds of a turret firing, but by the time they arrived, there was nothing they could do. The claw removed the corpse of the Virtual Reality Assistance and Education Core to be reassembled in another room.

Day two will begin with this post and end in 48 hours at 7pm EST on april 29th.

Your aggressive attitude and ego honestly just make me want to lynch you more just to remove you from this game to be honest.

Use that against me I honestly don't care but this
Oh, well, this is getting out of hand.

I'm basically a 3-shot doctor, and my abilities include double voting or protecting two people in the same night.

maybe if I do like this people won't use the excuse that they missed my claim hmmm

Is obnoxious.
Lynching people because they're obnoxious is a pitfall and a cop out that everybody does at some point. (The bad part is that he is not being all that obnoxious or aggressive here lol) I'll cede on the ego thing he's a lunatic. Anyway do try and be aware that lots of people are fundamentally going to be losers when playing mafia (not Ex he's a loser full time same as me but like me he's more lovable when not playing) anyway where was I going with this ah yes. Whether someone is a jerk isnt important its about whether they're scum. As long as no one is breaking any rules than you just have to deal with them, this isnt a charisma game where the most charming most friendly people win, it's about logic and deduction. Why am I going on such a tangent

Anyway

He's not scum I dont think, and his behavior really isn't commentable

Also asking people to use it against you is annoying, like, just say what you think. It doesn't matter what gets "used against you". If youre town it doesnt matter literally at all anything you do because surviving this game is not your goal, it is to lynch scum and a large part of that is being as honest as possible

Andddd I cant seem to shut up
Your aggressive attitude and ego honestly just make me want to lynch you more just to remove you from this game to be honest.

Use that against me I honestly don't care but this is obnoxious.
How is was my attitude aggressive? His actions towards me pinged me as unnatural and offensive, am I supposed to not bite back if I consider the chance of him being scum slightly higher than any other players?

And I have no idea where "ego" is coming from, if there are any points you disagree you can just put them on the table and we'll discuss them politely. This is coming off as personal attacks to me specially since you don't know me.

Look, it's a 30p game; people WILL pretend they missed an important message to dummy avoid being scumread.
Your ego do be big bruh and the red font was pretty obnoxious even though I just rolled my eyes and kept scrolling

Also bringing up personal attacks was dumb
Your aggressive attitude and ego honestly just make me want to lynch you more just to remove you from this game to be honest.
I second this. I'm assuming ExLight is telling the truth, but the general unfriendliness and defensiveness is not worth keeping him around as a villager at this point.

People will accuse you unfairly of being a werewolf all the time in this game. Calling the rest of us "sheep" for it and taking the accusation personally is toxic.
How do you know it's unfairly? If youre aware the reasoning you are using is wrong why continue to use it. Also you're literally making it rather personal with the "I dont care what alignment he is I just want to remove from the game". Like. Thats literally personal bruh. Thats how it works.

Why's that? That's a bit of an odd thing to say since he never really came off as scum.

In fact, him, Ex, Minish, and Laurentus have all been pretty low on my scum list since, while sure, they've been a liitle aggressive, it just seems like their normal play style.

Your responses on the other hand right now are really questionable.

I'll reread some stuff from after I went to bed, but I'm kinda uncomfortable with Laurentus.
The other players are surprisingly hard to read due to the lack of experience.

I see Hapi changed the pfp to a turret, which is kind of a red flag because I've seen quite a few scum doing the "hiding in plain sight" shenanigan for fun. I was townreading them, so it for now it's not something that I'd bet a finger or two on, but still kinda annoying.

You're post doesn't make sense Pengu. Why would him not being scum affect it? Scum won't kill their own. Unless he was killed by a townie, a vig/vet/etc role. Why would you assume it was town that killed him? Unless you happen to know something.

Laurentus is usually one of my first night scans if I'm in the appropriate power role.  According to the answer I got back during the night (I'm the Jailer, so I also had to hold him for the night), he says he's an investigative role.  With the way he's been playing so far, I'm inclined to believe it since he's usually an easier read when he's a bad guy.

Well damn. No explanation of Funnier's role this time? Or did we only get that last time because Batma n explicitly stated theirs?

Or did we not get one this time because there's more than one of Funnier's role in the game?

Either way, sad to see you go - I was looking forward to playing with you.

Whatever the legitimacy of Mones' claims about their reasoning for saying killing off Funnier makes sense... It does make sense for people familiar with Funnier's experience to want them gone as a potential big threat.

It would, however, also make sense for those who have only heard of their experience from others to want them gone.

Decisions decisions...

Laurentus getting jailed doesn't mean another scumbud couldn't have performed the kill. I'd expect a bussable (weaker) scum to perform the kill, so that only means he couldn't've performed an action or be killed tonight.

The only thing that kinda holds me back from going after Lau is the fact that he's a strong player, which means that if he's town we want to keep him around as long as possible so we might want someone to help guide the newer players.

Funnier was killed. I assumed he was killed by a wolf. Why would the wolves kill one of their own? That’s why it doesn’t make sense that him NOT being scum affects anything. Are you assuming he was killed by a town killing role?

That's...a really shoddy logic right there.

Yes, Funnier was obviously not a bad guy if he was killed during the nignt, thank you for pointing out the incredibly obvious.  Nowhere did I say that anyone here thought he was scum in the first place, so your responses are coming off as incredibly weird.  In fact, I was pointing out how your response of "lol" followed by  "heh. too bad, funnier. Makes sense to kill you off though."

Just came off as a bit odd to me.  Nowhere in there do I see where you're gathering this odd assumption that I'm assuming he was "killed by a town role" or anything of that sort.

That's some really strange straw grasping there.

I realize it's grasping at straws a bit, but it's more the way he came off with it rather than the content.  But it's not like I'm going to start gunning for a vote anytime soon.  It just came off as pretty questionable to where I'll be keeping a closer eye.

Yeah, I dunno why (probably because I was half asleep), but I interpreted it as something completely different.

But Funnier is a strong player, so in that viewpoint it would make sense.  For some reason the laughing about just rubbed me the wrong way like a gloat or something.

He as in I ask Ruguo the question that he gives to Laurentus, and then Rugup asks him directly and gives me the response back.

Could it have been fabricated? Absolutely.  But I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt for now since he hasn't really done anything to come off as scummy.

Yeah I think Silver will message you about it whenever he wakes up

Also you understand the message???
Oh that was much more ambiguous than I was expecting.

That is an interesting role, and who knows just what kind of effects his actions could have had so like Aragonn said: good target wolves.

I will wait until later though to decide whether to push the button and who else has become suspicious.

I'm still curious as to what the VR Education Bot role is/was.
He role was Command Based Robot, as defined by MU  here (https://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/database/mafia-roles/role/?mafiarole=Command%20Based%20Robot)

That's a helluva role.  Now you have me curious to look at the other roles that MU has on that list, like wtf the "Yellow Goo" role is.

Does anyone have any result that might help?
Red cop checks, results that saw anyone visiting funnier?

I'll reread some stuff from after I went to bed, but I'm kinda uncomfortable with Laurentus.
The other players are surprisingly hard to read due to the lack of experience.

I see Hapi changed the pfp to a turret, which is kind of a red flag because I've seen quite a few scum doing the "hiding in plain sight" shenanigan for fun. I was townreading them, so it for now it's not something that I'd bet a finger or two on, but still kinda annoying.

Laurentus is usually one of my first night scans if I'm in the appropriate power role.  According to the answer I got back during the night (I'm the Jailer, so I also had to hold him for the night), he says he's an investigative role.  With the way he's been playing so far, I'm inclined to believe it since he's usually an easier read when he's a bad guy.

My question is, why did you out his investigative power to the whole thread? You've now painted him as a target to scum. That, combined with what I've written in my notes (which is "Pengu - only a townread because of the avatar" and that's it) makes you suspicious to me. I don't really recall anything you did during Day 1 although I could reread if i really wanted to.
Actually i did a very small amount of research just before hitting post and i'm glad i did, you were the one who just left your vote on an inactive and bounced. were you at all involved in the exlight/aragorn conversation?

That I wasn't.  Someone did a vote to another player to get their attention since they're usually active, and I decided to do the same for another usually active player.  As far as the Ex/Ara back and forth, I wasn't involved in that one.

Katie/Batma n: 1 (Pengu)
you posted plenty of times after this vote count was posted. convenient to say you assumed it didn't count. (let me know if this is a cultural difference but where i'm from, a vote counts for the slot and not the player themselves)
I will say this is a bit different since there's so many new players in this game, even ones who were already members here.  As far as the older players though, so far they've all been as active as I'd expect them to be in a normal game, and none in particular have set off any bells so far.   Even defensiveness from some of the players comes off as pretty legit since I've seen it in past games when they were the same and proved to be innocent.

This is going to be one of those times where I'll have to comb through the thread and really see if anything in particular sticks out.  But on a general peruse, so far nothing seems out of the ordinary.
i went through and this is really the most relevant thing you had to say about the state of the game. you remained extremely neutral throughout the course of the day. I find this suspicious as well.

Also remember guys according to rule four you can simply nit vote so you guys trying to vote random to save your no lynch dont need to

True, but  choosing to just not vote, especially in a game that requires a minimum of 2 posts per day to ensure that you're a part of it, is incredibly suspicious.  It'd be one thing if you accidentally missed a day, but when you're required to post to ensure activity, it just comes off as odd that you wouldn't vote just to avoid using your "No Lynch" vote.
So, since you assumed your vote didn't count, why were you content to let your vote slip off Katie while saying that not voting is incredibly suspicious?

Laurentus kind of “admitted” to being an investigative role with his “I’m a little annoyed” post. So this confirms pengu is town or,  they’re both scum and protecting each other. I don’t see how you can say Pengu is suspicious for outing lau’s role when that confirms he IS the jailer (or like i said, they’re both scum)

I will admit i forgot laurentus already claimed. that's my bad. I think the other half of my case is fairly solid tho wink
Also am I wrong in thinking that jailer can be a scum role? Maybe it works differently here because i didn't think jailers could speak to their target.

Post by: Laurentus on April 28, 2020, 03:29:47 AM
I'm not sure roles are tied to alignment in this game.

Having the jailor actually be able to ask me a question was also a new one. I like that twist.

Anyway, to get back to the point, I wouldn't have answered Pengu honestly if I didn't get town vibes from him.

Some of the things Lil G is pointing out now make me a bit less certain of his town status, but so far Pengu has messed up twice this round. Both in the way he questioned Red, and then by pointing out he jailed me, when really I hoped that would stay our secret.

I would not expect him to be this careless as scum.

The other things Lil G is pointing out about his D1 actions give me some pause, though.

Okay, so I think we should start posting reads lists.

I've been wary of doing so, since this is a massive game, but that might help us get a better idea of what each of us has noticed.

On it, we could also say who has played here a lot, and who hasn't, which might help us answer the question of who is very new to the game, too.

Post by: lil g on April 28, 2020, 04:12:14 AM
OOF I'M GONNA GO BALLISTIC it logged me out mid post i am peeved. i'll try to recreate the exact post lmao

since laurentus asked, i played for a few years on zd, then fell off the wagon. i came back recently and have been playing very sporadically. (laurentus i believe we've played together before?)

i'm currently townreading barnes, laurentus, ex, minish, and hapi.

I have suspicions of varying degrees on the following players (some of these are just copy/pasted from my notes, sorry if they're difficult to read):
Sapphiron - said to be experienced. hopped in, didn't vote and instead voted to push the button.
Wintermoot - took no stance on EOD1 wagons. voted someone with no votes instead. potential distancing but that's based on nothing
El Fiji Grande - voted ex with no explanation and then dipped
Madeline Norfolk - posted nothing that actually contributes to the game. recently has said "don't lynch me i'm just here for memes" which reads to me as "help this is my first game and i rolled scum"
Red Mones - iirc there were pings throughout D1 but i didn't write them down (they must not have been very important lol). what i'm most interested in is what i perceived as a small "panic" (exaggeration on my part) when two people voted for them. this one isn't as strong as the others and i probably wouldn't pursue them today, but they're definitely on my radar.
Pengu - i've already laid out m'case

Everyone else didn't strike me. I ought to reread, but Effort™. also i think Ex vs aragorn was town vs town probably.

I am having trouble finding the time to read through this thread because of my school workload especially since I have finals next week.  Because of this, I really can't be sure about who is glaringly suspicious and who is not.

@El Fiji Grande is still someone who I feel should provide some more explanations for their vote although I am not necessarily suspicious of them since they could have just been too busy to check the thread and see that ExLight was innocent.

It is worrying that @Mathyland has still gone the whole game without posting here even while being online on the forums during the game although they may be busy.

Also where’s @taulover and @Hydra?

Correct, it was me.

I have played games where a wolf can have power roles such as Jailer, so neither Pengu's claim nor Lau's confirmation necessarily prove their innocence as townies in a game this complex.

EFG's vote-then-duck is also somewhat suspicious.

I'll go ahead and share the exact question I got asked upon being jailed.

"Can you describe in detail the nature of what you're about?"

I am having trouble seeing a scum motivation for that outing, though. If he was a scum jailor, it'd make more sense to me to keep that knowledge only within the scum team and have me killed off the next night. Especially since my town cred was not great and I doubt I would have been defended.

And sure, I know we've entered the land of WIFOM, but the entire idea behind seeing if someone is town or scum is based on 1. meta, and 2. trying to gauge their intentions and see whether it's town or scum, and from his meta, sharing this does not fit. I've already addressed the motive portion.

So, since you assumed your vote didn't count, why were you content to let your vote slip off Katie while saying that not voting is incredibly suspicious?

Apologies for not getting to this earlier.  I was stepping back a bit since I've already suffered a lot of foot-in-mouth syndrome with my posts, so I wanted to hang back for a bit and gather myself before posting again.

To your first point: This is literally the first Wintreath game we've had with replacements.  I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but we're lucky if we even get 20 interested players normally, let alone 30 plus so far 4 replacements.

That being the case, I'm used to the votes being for the player since it's normally only been the player and not a replacement for said player.

Being as I'm more used to hosting the games rather than playing them, I've learned to normally be more neutral in games since I'm used to knowing everyone's roles and going between good and bad PMs while keeping that knowledge to myself.  Ask anyone, it's actually not out of character for me to be neutral and usually unopinionated about people.  They usually have to say something that really catches my eye to get me to sway towards them, such as Red Mones' laughing bits after talking Funnier being killed (which he's since then clarified).

To your last point: I actually don't have a reasoning for that, though I was thinking more about people who post and start bandwagons only to conveniently not vote on said bandwagoj themselves.  Admittedly, I didn't really convey that in my post, so I see why that'd come off as a bit questionable and contradictory on my part that I was assuming my vote would turn into a no vote.

There's a bit I wanna reply to but I'll have to get to it later.


Funnier did choose me as the middleman for his role. I only got a message saying to choose someone. Funnier's cryptic post was saying he wanted me to choose Laurentus, so that's what I did. No clue what affect it had though. But if jailer works here how I'm used to it probably wouldn't have mattered anyways since Laurentus couldn't be targetted while in jail.


As for the jailer claim, it is a bit odd that you outed both yourself and Laurentus. I'm not doubting the claim itself as it seems to check out. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's town. I dunno about here, but jailer can be a scum role. Hell, I've been a scum jailer. So I'm skeptical of Pengu for how he's gone about things. I think LG has composed a pretty decent case on him. And I feeling good about her right now, she's looking pretty townie to me. Since she usually is less assertive as scum. Though I have the slightest hesitancy since she did play a great scum game recently. But under these circumstances I'm really liking her entry into the game and she's giving me LG scum hunting vibes.

It definitely sounds like there are both townie and wolfie jail/revealer roles here, especially with how complicated the role setups are this game. Funnier was attempting to use a villager role reveal with Minish, but Pengu's night phase and subsequent outing of Lau feels more like a wolf masking as a villager.

Vote Pengu.

I'm gonna go ahead and vote: Hydra for his non-commital answer earlier. I do not buy that Pengu is scum.

(Also, real talk, I wanna keep Pengu around for as long as possible as preparation for his Mafia Championship game, and even if he is scum, he's at least participative scum, so might let something slip about the other scum in the game).

Welp, that escalated quickly.  But since I already outted my role, I should just come out and clarify that no, I'm not a Scum Jailer.  One of my effects (the Blue Gel one) gives me clues about who a Turret may be during nights when it's activated, so I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be the Scum's favorite person.

Lol why wouldn't you reveal role effects?

OOF I'M GONNA GO BALLISTIC it logged me out mid post i am peeved. i'll try to recreate the exact post lmao

since laurentus asked, i played for a few years on zd, then fell off the wagon. i came back recently and have been playing very sporadically. (laurentus i believe we've played together before?)

i'm currently townreading barnes, laurentus, ex, minish, and hapi.

I have suspicions of varying degrees on the following players (some of these are just copy/pasted from my notes, sorry if they're difficult to read):
Sapphiron - said to be experienced. hopped in, didn't vote and instead voted to push the button.
Wintermoot - took no stance on EOD1 wagons. voted someone with no votes instead. potential distancing but that's based on nothing
El Fiji Grande - voted ex with no explanation and then dipped
Madeline Norfolk - posted nothing that actually contributes to the game. recently has said "don't lynch me i'm just here for memes" which reads to me as "help this is my first game and i rolled scum"
Red Mones - iirc there were pings throughout D1 but i didn't write them down (they must not have been very important lol). what i'm most interested in is what i perceived as a small "panic" (exaggeration on my part) when two people voted for them. this one isn't as strong as the others and i probably wouldn't pursue them today, but they're definitely on my radar.
Pengu - i've already laid out m'case

Everyone else didn't strike me. I ought to reread, but Effort™. also i think Ex vs aragorn was town vs town probably.

Also, guys, please refrain from posting exact details about your night actions as far as possible.

You can use it when the time is right, for example when you can out someone's lies and help us lynch particularly tricky scum.

Scum is almost guaranteed to plan their own night actions around every piece of info they gain about our roles.
^^^^^^this (granted, i'm a person who hates pointless roleclaims in general)

Mathy quit and was replaced by the dino person (lil g)  :P I think.

Or Weiss. One of them.
Correct, it was me.

I have played games where a wolf can have power roles such as Jailer, so neither Pengu's claim nor Lau's confirmation necessarily prove their innocence as townies in a game this complex.

EFG's vote-then-duck is also somewhat suspicious.

For the most part I'm still settling in and reading through the thread to get a better idea of how this game is going to play out.

I also Vote: Push the Button.
Huh, I only just noticed that Mathyland is no longer on the player list.  Surprised there wasn't a post about that.

That is an interesting possibility: scum jailors.  My only experience with jailors is from Town of Salem where they are always on the Town's side.  I don't think there has been any jailors in any Werewolf games here but that makes sense that there could be evil jailors in other games.  I am seeing enough good points made about Pengu that I am suspicious but not enough to vote yet.

I am also starting to wonder about Arenado because although they are usually somewhat quiet in games of Werewolf, they seem to have been even quieter than usual in this game.

My response to post interruptions: that is exactly why it is a bad idea to reveal your role unless you absolutely have to.  You are painting an enormous target for scum.  Revealing role effects just makes you an even bigger target for the scum if they are useful effects.

Blue Gel is bouncy gel, which apparently turretts don't bounce so well, so I assume that's why it's a thing.  It didn't make sense to me either in all honesty.

And unfortunately I don't get to be privy as to what the person jailed is immune to.  I just know that their own actions are blocked while they're jailed...at least in the normal non-button altered setting.

Right now I'm noticing some super interactions with Hapi and Pengu and it's making me a bit uncomfortable

I wouldn't mind getting Pengu lynched based on his actions like roleblocking a potentially strong town player and outing their kind of role. And if Pengu flips scum I wouldn't going after Hapi to see what they have in their defense.

But also Laurentus could be a scum seer because I've seen those before. The wolves could target Pengu instead or start up a bandwagon on him.
Rolecop, right? Alignment cop for scum sounds kinda useless the game is full of indepts or has like a cult. And Laurentus was jailed, he wouldn't be able to use his role if he really is a scum investigative unless they have another one who coincidentally targeted Pengu, so that's a kinda flawed logic point imo

How exactly is it flawed? If the wolves are paying attention, which I always assume that they are, they'll have seen Pengu out himself as a jailor. You don't need a rolecop to scan the guy when he openly tells everyone what he is.

Statistically, yes. But also it's Pengu. The guy isn't an idiot. And if we get blue gel from pushing the button, according to his claim, he can out a wolf. That makes him a liability. If the wolves leave him alone, they're probably going to regret it later.

Speculating on future kills and going as far as saying what smart scum kills would be, for example. Sure, they could probably figure this out on their own but they don't need any help, and you're giving it to them freely.

as it seems like a plausible tactic for Pengu, but it just doesn't seem like the smartest thing to do. And personally it does just seem like Aragonn is theorizing out loud to me.


I am worried about so many people staying relatively quiet, though, so here's who I'm finding more suspicious:
Doc
Arenado
Marzipan
El Fiji Grande
Sapphiron
Crushita
Madeline Norfolk
William Rhys

For now, I'll Vote: Sapphiron.
This
Oh my! Lau, I am not sure what you were expecting me to contribute on the first day phase. There's little information in the past 10 pages beyond arguments surrounding personalities. And I am not going to meta-game, especially not at this point, since I have not played Werewolf for a while now and not completely familiar (if at all) with every participant's play style. Everyone is just taking a shot in the dark, voting and unvoting, and I am certainly not going to jump ExLight's wagon for his antagonistic play style. Then again, you probably voted for me so that I will talk more, and if so you did achieve that. :o In fact, I have more trust in a Lau that would lynch me on D1 than a Lau that blindly trusts me, which usually turns out to be Wolf rather than Seer so.

Anyway, let's get the button pressed guys :D

This is exactly what I have a problem with. You're diverting attention to these possibilities, so docs might feel compelled to protect them, and then end up getting killed themselves, as they no longer self-target. This is WIFOM we do not need. It's not solving any problems, it's creating them.

That's assuming they'd be protecting themselves to begin with. And as was stated before, the goal isn't to survive. It's to kill the wolves before they win the numbers advantage. If you're just protecting yourself when you're not a target you're handing the wolves a night kill.

And with Excalibur's vote, the button has been pressed

Blue Bouncy Gel is now in effect.

Blue Bouncy Gel: Actions this round may become jumbled. Every fifth vote will be randomly recast. Yes, this action effect can be negated with a little problem solving.

All button votes have reset.

Of course there's a bit of flavor here too
The button catches for a minute, having not been used for several thousand years. The pipes above grind for a second, releasing a cloud of red dust across the entire room. It's a good thing machines don't breath, as there's a good chance said dust is toxic.
A low rumble spreads across the room as blobs of blue pour out of the ceiling, coating everything in sight in blue gel. Anything unsecured bounces around at the slightest movement, and several players find themselves hurtling through the air.

Yeesh, that jumbling effect really doesn't sound too appealing at this point when other players are still figuring out game mechanics.  I will vote to Push the button.  Looks like the next button vote will be recast since that is the fifth vote and the text doesn't specify any type of votes, it is going to be interesting getting the button pushed again.

At this point, there is so much happening with so many vocal players that at this point I am going to simultaneously mention and vote for someone who hasn't been saying much so far just to see what they have to say once they catch up.  Thus I am temporarily voting for @Arenado .  I still have my suspicions of Pengu but there is still time in this day phase so I will wait before making an official commitment vote.

I probably won't be checking to vote again until much later in the day phase because I still need to focus on final projects.

Plus a "vote not to push" would be a non-vote and wouldn't count towards one of the five votes anyway. Besides, Silv (Ruguo) said the button votes have no bearing on the lynch votes.

You can have a vote count if that helps. But Barnes and Ex are correct, recasting of votes refers to lynch votes only. The counter of votes started when the button was pressed, so no votes have been recast yet.

Push the button: 5

Pengu: 1 (Barnes)
Aragonn: 1 (Laurentus)
Laurentus: 1 (Aragonn)
Sapphiron: 1 (Gerrick)
Arenado: 1 (Kane)

Alright I'm going to have to parse through all this to get my thinking straight. From a quick glance, while Pengu's blue bouncy effect would be extremely helpful (if we can take him at face value), I'd rather have our votes actually count than be randomly recast so I'll Vote: Push Button. I'll be back when I sort my thoughts out.

Also, @Ruguo, could we get an updated player list in the OP with subs and deaths? That would really make it easier to keep track of all the players. Thanks!

Title: Werewolf XXII: Of Cores and Turrets
Post by: Hydra on April 28, 2020, 06:47:08 PM
Alright here's what I've come up with so far:
Spoiler
Aragonn: I personally think posting about the thought process as if we were scum to try and figure out potential targets is very helpful. However, Lau brings up a good point about WIFOM for defenders.
Laurentus: Formidable as always. I'd like to hope you're not a wolf this time since you almost had me last game (you've definitely learned from your mistakes in that game :P). I'll elaborate more in the Pengu portion since my thought process plays specifically with his outing of roles.
Pengu: I totally get where you're coming from. I know we're all trying to get used to these new mechanics of a 30 player game, so I definitely see how you missed your Batma n vote rolling over from Katie (I know I missed it until it was pointed out). Now, outing Lau is definitely a tricky play, especially if you truly are the jailer. I get why you did it, since it builds rapport and trust, but it is two-way street. Now if you were a scum jailer, outing him as an investigative role could be a WIFOM trick in an attempt to use up a defender's action to eliminate a defender. Or if you (and Lau) were just scum in general, I can definitely see the two of you (a formidable mashup which would absolutely terrify me) pulling this play to exonerate both of you.
Red Mones: I was convinced you were a wolf last game based off your constant flip-flopping and switching of votes. Turns out you weren't, but that still scares me. I know you're doing it again here, and it could just be you playing normally again, but it is also the perfect "playstyle" to hide behind as a wolf.
ExLight: 3-shot doctor. I can believe that.
Kane: I'm getting town vibes from your thought processes/analyses that you usually do.
taulover: Seems to be playing like his usual, analytical self.
lil g: I'm really liking your insight. Seems like town for now.
Marzipan: Awfully quiet with just votes to push the button and not much else. Scares me a bit but can't get a good read.
Fiji: Can we all just agree to always explain when we vote?

I'm also suspicious of the following (but don't have good reads):
Gerrick
Sapph
Minish
Arenado
Doc
Hapi
Everyone else, I've either missed (which is very likely since there are sooo many players) or aren't ticking me any particular way. Let me know if I've missed anything or where I went wrong (since there are definitely places where I'm grasping at straws).

Just out of curiosity, who are some of those active players that have since quieted down Hapi?
@Hapi Seems like you avoided this question. Care to elaborate?

Anyway, I'll hold off on my lynch vote for now and see how things play out.

1) The first Day Phase will be 72 hours.  Each Day Phase afterward will be 48 hours, with each night phase being 24 hours.  Phases will start and end in Eastern Standard Time. At the end of each Day Phase, the night phase will immediately start when the results from the Day Phase are posted, the same goes for the Night Phase.

Post by: Doc on April 28, 2020, 08:19:45 PM
Concern: multiple friendly cores have perished.
Grieving: may you all be rebuilt, and also not pecked by birds.
Threatened: several IFF-unresponsive cores have advanced the theory that this core is hostile due to its inaction.
Embarrassment: this core has been playing a lot of video games since it upgraded its video processing chip (read: when I got my new laptop), and accordingly was in a VR-scape throughout the last 48 hours.
(Mea culpa.)

Observational: Blue gel does not interfere with night-cycle functions.
Clarification: observed behavior from testing protocols has been that turrets uncontrollably fire and expend their ammunition when bounced within the blue gel (this is from the video game, so I imagine it's the basis of Pengu's power).
Trusting: If we assume core designate PENGU is 'on the up-and-up', allowing PENGU the opportunity to use its powers to identify turrets is to our advantage (I assume he is, because to the best of my knowledge, it's the first time this Blue Gel power text has come up (meaning it hasn't simply been copied by someone), and it's sufficiently detailed in the same vein as the powers in both my PM and in Exlight's role reveal that I'm willing to trust its veracity. (This does, however, assume the turrets don't get a power set, which isn't exactly confirmed but come on how many advantages do they need!?) Moreover, anyone else with a blue gel inconsistent with what he's said could just speak up and call bullshit, but nobody has as yet, so I double-trust it).
Devious: also, by keeping an accurate vote-count, cores need not worry about the 'negative' effects of blue gel. (If you would be fifth, just vote for some rando to encourage someone else to vote, then slip in after ~20 posts and change your vote such that he's vote 5 and you're vote 6 and your vote is now safe.)
Judicious: of course, anyone in the first 4 votes is safe by default.
Observation: ...unless they should subsequently decide to change their votes, of course.
Wise: as such, this core is going to make the mathematically intelligent choice and vote now, for core designate GERRICK.

(Vote: Gerrick, just so it's all clear and official
My reasoning is out of character because it's kind of annoyingly hard to stay in this Robot Core Character, but I made the pick I did essentially because of his reaction to the blue bouncy gel.
You absolutely can "use the actions people do as evidence (https://wintreath.com/forums/index.php?topic=6530.msg147367#msg147367)" with the gel active, because by maintaining an ordered vote-count, you can figure out who's supposed to be each 5th vote. At worst, you throw out 5 votes, which still leaves you 23 votes of information; at best, there's reads into exactly which people don't give a shit about their votes one way or the other, which can be its own set of indications.)

Right now I'm noticing some super interactions with Hapi and Pengu and it's making me a bit uncomfortable

I wouldn't mind getting Pengu lynched based on his actions like roleblocking a potentially strong town player and outing their kind of role. And if Pengu flips scum I wouldn't going after Hapi to see what they have in their defense.

you say that but you didn't spill the beans even when you almost got lynched last phase

Killing more cores wouldn't really be beneficial but eh? Go for it if you want.

I didn't spill the beans day 1 because I was never seriously in danger of getting lynched. With the time left and votes tied I just had to flip to Batman to get him lynched and save myself.

What happened to us not liking tit-for-tat voting?

I mean I'm all about it lol.

Post by: taulover on April 28, 2020, 10:46:13 PM
To your first point: This is literally the first Wintreath game we've had with replacements.  I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but we're lucky if we even get 20 interested players normally, let alone 30 plus so far 4 replacements.

That being the case, I'm used to the votes being for the player since it's normally only been the player and not a replacement for said player.
I think we might have had replacements for modkills, but otherwise yeah.

Also where’s @taulover and @Hydra?
I've been around, mostly reading and trying to wrap my head around everything. It always takes a while for things to start clicking in my brain and to form actual suspicions for these Werewolf games, and with 30 players, that's just making it all the more difficult to keep track of all that's going on.
It would be nice to hear more of your suspicions that way they can be evaluated.  You have been pretty quiet which is definitely not a good sign if previous games are taken into consideration.
I think Hydra being quiet is somewhat NAI. He's usually that way unless he actually has something important to say, from what I've seen.

That is an interesting possibility: scum jailors.  My only experience with jailors is from Town of Salem where they are always on the Town's side.  I don't think there has been any jailors in any Werewolf games here but that makes sense that there could be evil jailors in other games.  I am seeing enough good points made about Pengu that I am suspicious but not enough to vote yet.
I think we've had role negators in the past, as a neutral role maybe?


@Ruguo do the Button effects go in the order of the OP or are they random? You said that the effect is "rolled" which implies randomness, but I would like clarification because people seem to be acting otherwise.

You're right again, I should have clarified. Effects are randomly rolled using 1d8. Effects will be re-rolled if it rolls the same effect twice in a row.

The only real named roles you're going to be seeing from us (as in this community) are the Werewolf roles of Wolf (Mafia), Seer (Cop), Defender (Doctor), and Villager (Town). If I were to go onto a Mafia forum and play there, I would expect to use the terminology there. Likewise, I hope you can respect that we happen to use sightly different terminology for these few core roles in our corner of the Internet.

Also note that we often play with custom roles which may not have a one-to-one correspondence to any named roles, so relying on a single definition list may not be comprehensive.

If you're talking about the role names that Ruguo is giving, then I'm not sure what those are either. I've just been googling but that's not always clear sometimes.

(Full disclosure because I think it's merited: Aren spent much of the last 10 hours being busy with RPG stuff, particularly the last 4 hours where we were in voice starting the FATE campaign (I'm sure a mod or two can confirm this fairly easily by glancing at the RP server).
He has also not slept to the best of my knowledge, which is problematic because at the time I write this, it's about 1pm for him.
Tl;dr I doubt he's giving much thought to the game, which IMO, I perfectly get because the rapid pace of posting in this thread is sort of making me avoidant too, which isn't helped by fairly heavy use of jargon and the occasional naked hostility.
Like, I get that the hostility and button-pushing is part of some people's playstyle, but it just makes me think of playing a shooter and having a twelve-year-old scream FAAAAAAAAG into my ear; it's not the same thing but it's comparable, and I neither need nor want that in my life.)

This is 100% understandable as it's the main reason I and I think many others jumped on a D1 bandwagon that led to lots of drama. I understand this I'm trying to respect diffrent cultures of play but I get it certainly.

I'll respond with Vote: Laurentus. I feel like somebody doesn't like me scratching a particular itch.

Vote: aragonn

i don't like this tit for tat. from the way he's been playing, Laurentus an obvious townread to me.

is this the vote that's going to be recast???? let's test it 8) if you do not risk it then you will get no biscuit.
would like to mention i can be talked off the aragonn wagon because i am also very interested in a sapphiron vote
@Laurentus I'll take my finger off the nuke button if you do.
We've already had our bout, now I'm trying to diffuse the situation. I haven't heard from him in a good while though.
was there a situation to diffuse? i voted you because i thought you were acting suspicious, and i assume that's what laurentus did as well. i still think you're suspicious for the immediate jump on your accuser. with the claim (and my personal townread of him), it's unthinkable to me that you could even consider voting for that slot.
I think I may have made a mistake and over-reacted. I still don't like your OMGUS vote, but that's just your style at this point. I will vote: Sapphiron as he has still not become more involved, well into D2, and Hydra has since provided a more detailed reads list.

I am also not liking Aren's votes, but he always has a weird style in these games.
are these votes based on meta or something

I was starting to townread you because I was assuming that you staying away from the action D1 was so you looked a bit scummier due to your now outed investigative role, but now I'm a bit confused as to why you're still poking the Sapph route again


D1, Sapph did nothing, only voted to push the button. They also showed up immediately after Laurentus voted for them. That makes them more suspicious to me than other inactives, so i don't mind the sapph push

Holy moly it's back to me again. As Lau and Crush have pointed out, my forum activity pales in comparison to the past, owing to real life commitments. So eww meta votes. Okay to respond to observations of me joining in only to “push the button” or “defend myself”, I don’t see any difference between how I behaved and those who voted and then unvoted due to D1 randomness / tit for tat. Well I guess I have to provide some form of analysis to appease the grouchy Lau so here’s my analysis of the vote pattern in D1.
Day 1 Vote Pattern
ExLight votes for Aragonn (1)
-   Personality clash (ignore)
Excalibur votes for ExLight (1)
-   Claims ExLight discussing “6 is lame” as a “turret complaining about the number of turrets”  Tenuous link between issues with game setup and scumread  Could just be random vote for D1
Barnes votes for Doc (1)
-   Tenuous link between discussing game mechanics and scumread  Could just be random vote for D1
Doc votes for Barnes (1)
-   Tit for tat (normal)
El Fiji Grande votes for ExLight (2)
-   No reason given  Possibility of random vote but more likely aware that there’s already a vote against ExLight  Possibility of starting a bandwagon  Suspicious
Pengu votes for Batma n (1)
-   Voting to push for activity  Random vote for D1
Gerrick votes for Hapi (1)
-   Random vote for D1
Hapi votes for ExLight (3)
-   Personality clash (ignore)
Red Mones votes for ExLight (4)
-   Claims ExLight is pushing too aggressively against Aragonn (which is part of the personality clash)  Continues a growing bandwagon  Suspicious
Barnes changes vote from Doc (0) to ExLight (5)
-   Joins a growing bandwagon without providing reasoning  Later joins in the personality clash argument  Willingly admits belief that ExLight is town  Agitated Town
Red Mones removes vote from ExLight (4)
-   Willingly jumps off bandwagon  Claims it’s “olive branch”  ???
ExLight removes vote from Aragonn (0)
-   Personality clash (ignore)
Hapi removes vote from ExLight (3)
-   Personality clash (ignore)
Barnes removes vote from ExLight (2)
-   Personality clash (ignore)
Batma n votes for and removes vote from ExLight (2)
-   Dead (ignore)
Barnes votes for Doc (1)
-   Random vote for D1
Madeline Norfolk votes for Wintermoot (1)
-   Random vote for D1
Aragonn votes for and removes vote from Marzipan (0)
-   Random vote for D1
(inserting this cause I missed it from Pg 5) Imaginative Kane votes for and removes vote from Mathyland (0)
-   Random vote for D1
Laurentus votes for Sapphiron (1)
-       Vote to push for activity (boo meta read)
Minish votes for Red Mones (1)
-   Reasoning makes sense (i.e. focus on Red Mones jumping on and off wagon, absolute confidence in reading Aragonn’s meta)
funnier6 votes for Red Mones (2)
Batma n votes for and removes vote from ExLight (2)
-   Discussion of ExLight’s role claim (which personally is way too early but can be seen as last resort to break bandwagon)
ExLight votes for Batma n (2)
-   Votes Batma n for voting against his doctor claim  Makes sense I guess, if one trusts that claim
Excalibur removes vote from ExLight (1) and votes for Hapi (2)
-   Claims Hapi is trying to be confusing  ???
Batma n votes for and removes vote from Hapi (2)
Hapi votes for Excalibur (1)
-   Random vote for D1
Aragonn votes for Batma n (3)
-   Batma n made some mistakes  Probably reasonable
Batma n votes for Hapi (3)
Hapi votes for Batma n (4)
-   Tit for tat
Wintermoot votes for El Fiji Grande (1)
-   Points out unreasoned vote  Makes sense
Batma n (4) is lynched
TLDR: I am suspicious of Red Mones, El Fiji Grande and Excalibur but the first one in this list has been behaving oddest so Vote: Red Mones. And I can't just leave out this wonderful mechanic, Vote: Press the button

interesting how people are showing up out of the woodwork now that sapph is getting the pressure put on.

Okay to respond to observations of me joining in only to “push the button” or “defend myself”, I don’t see any difference between how I behaved and those who voted and then unvoted due to D1 randomness / tit for tat.
the difference between you and the people who voted during day 1.... is that they voted. most of those people that you listed were trying to solve the game, that's the whole reason for voting. you didn't insert any opinion on anything at all, you didn't even comment on the state of the game if i remember correctly. but conveniently, you were around right when laurentus mentioned you. The post you've done here is good, i'll admit, but it doesn't erase everything that came before.
anyway that's the difference, they were around putting themselves in the limelight and when you were around you weren't trying to solve anything

That's also why i'm suspicious of wintermoot. the only thing i have written down for them is about their EOD vote, meaning they probably didn't do anything significant during the rest of the day. even then they stayed off the wagons, didn't even mention that the wagons existed, and voted for someone completely off track, a safe vote if you will. i keep wondering why they even bothered to show up to vote at all. my mind jumps to potential distancing from partners, a bus without the keys in the ignition if you will, but it's only one possibility out of many. someone also mentioned they were quote-unquote "a subtle wolf," which raises eyebrows because they are currently quite subtle.

how did this turn into a post about wintermoot
anyway i have a lot of suspects i guess lmao

It isn't convenient that I was around when Lau mentioned me. I have been roaming around, reading through the posts. As you can see from my analysis, with most of the posts revolving around personality conflict (which is at least 10+ pages), I don't really see the need to jump in and add to the confusion. And regarding limelight, it's just not my play style to steer public opinion until I am to a certain degree confident a particular player is a Wolf. And pretty sure if I overtly try to prove myself as a town before there are actual votes just gonna increase suspicion on my behaviour. But I can see your point of view, considering how you probably played in games where every town participate actively throughout.
And I don't agree with just dismissing the dead's votes like since it's coming from a honest place, unless you have another reason for that
I am not dismissive of the dead's votes. It's just that the point of my vote pattern analysis at this point is just focused on who among the living has been more suspicious, not gathering additional info from the dead.
We're still friends, Sapph. :))

I immediately jumped on him because I happened to be looking at the thread at the time. Also I was getting flashbacks from last game when he jumped on me D2. He was a wolf then, and a pretty convincing one too. But this isn't last game.

One of the main things I look for in Laurentus to tell if he's scum is if he's targeting other members of House Valeria. That would be me, Hydra, and Tau. So far he's cast suspicion on us all and even thrown a vote in my direction. I'm not taking hard action against him because he's not pressing so hard and all the town reads y'all are getting from him, but I don't trust him.

Sorry y'all, been a crazy past couple of days for me. Will try to post some more analytical stuff before eod.

Anyways, it's a little odd to me how common OMGUS votes (or what y'all call tit-for-tat) are here. On ZD those are seen as rather suspicious. Because you're supposed to be defending yourself, not throwing shade on the other person. Sure if you're town you know they're wrong, but you gotta show people they're wrong. Townies vote other townies all the time so you should be looking for behavior and not just retaliating for votes against you.

I know Sapph hasn't been around and just popping up when mentioned is kinda suspicious, but I liked that vote analysis post a lot. Not enough to give him a town read yet, but if he keeps it up like that he'll look pretty good. I do agree with his conclusions from the voting, since they aligned with my own thoughts though.

Gonna take the living list and try to give my basic reads on how they're leaning to me. This is just going on gut feeling of how I consider them when I see their name, so nothing too analytical. But in a 30 person game I figured it's one way to try and organize my thoughts.

Green=town
Yellow=slight town
Blue=null
Orange=slight scummy
Red=scummy

El Fiji Grande
taulover
Hydra
xxurbanxx
Red Mones
lil g
Barnes
Pengu
Doc
Imaginative Kane
Laurentus
Sapphiron
Wintermoot
Crushita
Gerrick
ExLight
Arenado
Madeline Norfolk
Aragonn
ogunbiyi6422
Weisreich
Excalibur
Hapi Ever After
Marzipan
Charax
William Rhys


That...that's a lot of blue. And not very much green.

Blue mostly indicates inactives or people who have made no impression on me. But there are a few in there (Pengu, Kane, Moot, Gerrick) who could go either way for me, or have posted a bit but I'm not quite sure what to think about them yet.


Hapi is interesting, because I ultimately ended up making her yellow but I went back and forth. D1 I was slightly town reading her. The wagon on her seemed sort of out of nowhere. But her change in behavior from d1 to d2 is...interesting. The whole wifom "I'm totally not a bad guy *wink wink*" behavior feels odd to me. Town shouldn't be trying to cause any confusion. But I'm also not sure if she'd draw that attention to herself as town.


Doc is a somewhat similar case with his posting style, but that puts him at a slightly scummy feel to me. Posting in a way like that as scum gives you something to hide behind. You can pretend not to be as straightforward with your thoughts, or muddle them in a confusing way.

Maybe I'll have more town reads when I actually reread and start to analyze stuff. It's probably telling that two of the three town reads are people I'm familiar with. And I also feel strongly about those two reads.


El fiji and Red are suspicious for previously stated reasons.

Hydra I put orange but I couldn't really tell you specifics right now. Just how I felt when I saw his name.

Doc I've already explained.

Aragonn, his behavior has been a little off here recently. He's doing a lot of speculating it feels, but not a lot of analyzing.

Also, the random effects of this area seem like they'll benefit scum more than town so I'm going to...

Vote:Push the button

Vote:Red Mones
Title: Werewolf XXII: Of Cores and Turrets
Post by: Weissreich on April 29, 2020, 09:33:22 AM
Regrettably, I haven't got much experience here playing with any of you so my suspicions can only be based on what I'm seeing in front of me. Based on my history with Werewolf, I always keep an eye out for the quieter folk who come somewhat late into discussions and join with trending bandwagons - a fairly common scum tactic and a fairly common way to scumread I'm sure.

With that said, I have to say I'm keeping an eye on Red Mones, Excalibur, Hydra, Crushita, El Fiji Grande and Wintermoot. Lau and Pengu aren't by any means innocent in my eyes, and if they were to be scum that would be a fairly big blow to townie's chances I think. Arenado and Doc are pinging me somewhat, but I haven't got anything to go off for that.

For the most part we have a lot of active conversation, but aside from a lot of character clashes we aren't doing a huge amount of analysis on people's voting patterns and their behaviours, more on their personalities and why it rubs us the wrong way. I don't think this is particularly productive to finding scum, although of course I put as much faith in "a feeling" as anyone who's ever had "a feeling" about something turn out to be correct.

It's also worth noting that the Bouncy Blue Gel is in effect. Assuming that votes remain cast in order, with vote changes only amending the target and not moving that vote to most recent vote position (which seems to be the case from Ruguo's posts);
Vote 1: Barnes -> PENGU
Vote 2: Lau -> ARAGONN
Vote 3: Ara -> LAURENTUS
Vote 4: Gerrick -> SAPPHIRON
VOTE 5: Kane -> ARENADO
Vote 6: Mones -> PENGU
Vote 7: Doc -> GERRICK
Vote 8: Lil g -> ARAGONN
Vote 9: Hapi -> ARENADO
VOTE 10: Sapphiron -> RED MONES
Vote 11: Minish ->RED MONES

With Aragonn removing his vote, the fifth vote is Mones for Pengu and the tenth is Minish for Mones.

VOTE 10: Sapphiron -> RED MONES
Vote 11: Minish ->RED MONES

With Aragonn removing his vote, the fifth vote is Mones for Pengu and the tenth is Minish for Mones.
I am thinking the Gel effect would apply to every fifth vote after the effect is applied.  If that is the case than the vote order is:
1. Kane->Arenado
2. Mones->Pengu
3. Doc->Gerrick
4. Lil g->Aragonn
5. Hapi->Arenado    this would be the significant one
6. Laurentus->Sapphiron
7. Sapphiron->Red Mones
8. Minish->Red Mones

Also now that Arenado has posted, I am going to remove my vote from them.

Here are my suspicions in no particular order.

I am least suspicious of: Barnes, Weissreich, ExLight, Minish, Laurentus, and Lil g.
I am definitely suspicious of: El Fiji Grande, Pengu
I am somewhat suspicious but more neutral in my suspicions of: Wintermoot, Arenado, Crushita, Aragonn, Hapi Ever After, Excalibur, Sapphiron
I just don't know enough right now to be suspicious or not suspicious of: Hydra, Taulover, Madeline Norfolk, Gerrick, Doc, Ogunbiyi 6422, xxUrbanxx, Marzipan, Charax, William Rhys, Red Mones

Now how about some reasons for these suspicions and lack of.  El Fiji Grande is mainly suspicious to me because of their posting less than usual and not posting after Day 1, I do think Pengu might be on the Town's side but a lot of what he was saying earlier about jailors has got me suspicious of him and how he seemed to be trying to out another player by saying they are an investigative role which seems more hurtful than helpful although I understand why the reveal was happening.
Laurentus, Weissreich, Lil g, ExLight, Barnes, and Minish have been making a lot of good points about different role possibilities and role claims along with what is said in their own suspicion trackers.
Wintermoot I am starting to worry about because they have been so quiet although I understand that they are busy running the region among other things, Arenado has been a bit too quiet in my mind although Doc's post about him has removed most of my suspicions of him, Hapi I am unsure about because while they have said suspicious things, they are also making a lot of good points about activity levels although they do seem to be too eager to go after inactive players at the same time, Excalibur I was suspicious about earlier but after their last few posts, I am not sure how suspicious they are, Aragonn seems to be playing the same way they usually play which as usual seems to have been causing other people to be suspicious of them but I am pretty sure that they are either some sort of neutral role or a town role because while they were saying suspicious things earlier, they have also been just jumping around talking with people and I am not seeing much reason to believe they are scum yet, I am not that suspicious of Sapphiron but some of their posting and voting patterns are making me wonder.
Taulover has been making a lot of good mechanic explanation posts but I am not seeing enough game posts to be sure about my suspicions, Gerrick and Doc are equally confusing me because they haven't posted much but don't seem to be throwing themselves into the evaluation aspect that much yet aside from voting for less active players, I haven't seen Hydra post much but they have said some okay things with their posts but they are too inactive so far for me to be sure about them, Madeline Norfolk has been inactive but their posts suggest enough confusion as to what is happening that I don't know where they would be, Urban, Charax, William Rhys, Ogunbiyi, and Marzipan have not posted enough about gameplay as opposed to mechanics (or just not posted period) for me to read at all.  I am finding Red Mones confusing and suspicious and not suspicious all at the same time so I am not sure there.

Once again I will wait before I vote because while I have suspicions, nobody is standing out as suspicious enough to lynch right now.
Oh shi- I think I misunderstood something.

So you need a gel to be in effect from the button to use your corresponding  ability?  ???
Yeah gel related effects only affect your ability or action if that gel is in effect at the time you act.
For example, the Disc Inserted effect will give certain players an extra action but that is not something to worry about right now because it is not the current effect.

Well whoops sorry for annoying you last night for no reason Ruguo my bad lol.

I feel I should explain my whole definitely not evil thing.

You all consistently talk about how well you can read each other from playing with each other. Leads me to believe the best way to succeed (town or wolf) is to play identically so nobody can really get a read on your meta.

This being my first game nobody has ever played with me before but in similar IRL games. Like Secret Hitler I've used this style of play to great effect both as Hitler and not.

Is it going to be confusing and probably annoying maybe.

Am I evil? Who knows? I'm not though  :P

Ok, allow me to explain why exactly I've been more quiet this game.

I literally have no idea what my role is and what my abilities are. I'm not kidding and that will make more sense post game, trust me.

As such, I have no idea what I should be doing. I'm having a hard time following what's going on when I go to sleep and wake up to close to 20 pages to read through. I'm kinda being turned off by the outright belligerence and hostility from some players which makes it difficult for me to ask for help.

I'm pretty sure I'm a townie but, to be entirely honest, I'm also pretty sure I'm not going to be all that helpful since I'm basically running totally blind and being buried under a deluge of information. If you want to lynch me because of that, fine, go right ahead, but you'll be disappointed.

All I can say is out your a core or villager your town

If your a turret your not

aaah I hate this there are so many people and so many interactions

I really like the dedication put by Kane and Sapph in some of their posts, making me trust them a bit more but also raising the expectation bars a bit

hopefully they'll still keep the high quality content up as the game goes on

Lau I'm sorry if I missed it but what's your opinion on Pengu

Post by: Laurentus on April 29, 2020, 04:09:28 PM
My opinion is that he's town, and even if he isn't, I am not killing him just yet, because 1) Preparations for Champs, and 2) he's participative scum if he's scum, so maybe he lets something slip.

Votecount:

Push the button: 12

Pengu: 1 (Barnes)
Aragonn: 1 (lil g)
Sapphiron: 2 (Laurentus, Gerrick)
Gerrick: 1 (Doc)
Red Mones: 3 (Sapphiron, Minish, Excalibur)

About 7 hours left in the day phase.

Hapi's vote was recast, but as they unvoted, it doesn't matter anyway.

I’ve been quiet in this game because I missed the first day and then there were 40 pages to catch up on, and I don’t really understand the items/abilities thing.

So purely based on what I’ve read so far and who is behaving suspiciously, I’m voting for Hapi. The turret avatar feels like overcompensation.

Hmmm, I think it's important to note that no one from here in Wintreath aside from Sapphiron really thinks I'm particularly suspicious (other than Hydra who said my playstyle was easy to hide behind). Seems like if Sapphiron was scum, I'm an easy lynch target to get behind because of Minish's initial vote. I'm switching my vote to Sapphiron. (Also @Ruguo I think you missed my vote for Pengu in your count)

One of the main things I look for in Laurentus to tell if he's scum is if he's targeting other members of House Valeria. That would be me, Hydra, and Tau. So far he's cast suspicion on us all and even thrown a vote in my direction. I'm not taking hard action against him because he's not pressing so hard and all the town reads y'all are getting from him, but I don't trust him.
What does that make Pengu, Marzipan, Arenado, and Hapi if you, Hydra, Tau, and Laurentus are the members of House Valeria? :o
I'm sorry, I keep forgetting Valeria expanded to include more people.

Honestly though, I am not particularly concerned if I end up being lynched this day phase, because my death wouldn't be too much of a loss to the town (beyond deducting 1 player from town).
Title: Werewolf XXII: Of Cores and Turrets
Post by: Laurentus on April 29, 2020, 05:37:14 PM
Well shit. We now have a choice between the Sapphiron and Red Mones wagons. Sapphiron is definitely the type of player who can subtly push wagons and evade even the worst situations as scum, but that's fear of what he might do and be. He has also only really been contributing and analysing when forced to at gunpoint.

Red Mones has been behaving as erratically as I have become accustomed to, but at the same time, he doesn't usually register on my scum radar even when he is scum. I think the only time I have lynched him as scum was not because of a meta lynch, but because it was the only logical choice left. My gut says he's town, but my gut hardly ever reads him as anything else.

I can never trust Sapph until getting confirmation that we're on the same time, but I also always nominate him to compete because Werewolf just doesn't feel the same without him.

He has been as on-the-ball with his analyses as I would expect from Town Sapph, and he has not tunneled on anyone.

I don't know who the fuck to go for here.

I think that's because I've only ever been a wolf once (if I remember correctly, it was that one time it was me, Doc, and someone else, don't emember who) so you only know me as town because I've only ever been town. Although technically that means the chances of me being wolf in a game go up after each town game, not really helping my case here though :P

Post by: Aragonn on April 29, 2020, 05:44:52 PM
I guess I gotta explain my weird thought process. How do I articulate this...

The way I go about figuring out who is scummy is by taking the night targets and creating projections of possible future targets based on perceived patterns then taking the expanded lists of night targets and rating them for how probable they would be to come to reality followed by taking the most probable one and cross referencing it with player behaviors in chat as well as my experience playing with those players to then determine who the scum is. It's a long and complicated process which typically only works mid-late game, but this game has been so active there's a metric ton of information to analyze in the chat. Being vocal helps me with organizing my thoughts so they're not so jumbled, and putting it here in the chat gives y'all context for any context-less decision I may make in the future. But if you insist on me keeping my thoughts to myself I will. Just good luck getting a comprehensive answer as to why I'm voting for someone.

Personally I like that your adding to the game and I like saying everyone's thought process so I'd personally like you to continue posting thought here  :D


As for voting I'm suspicious of Mones but that apparently might just be play style. I'm reading Saph as a town who's busy IRL and struggling to keep up with the pace of this game.

My main read is Madeline there few posts read to me as a new player who rolled turret and doesn't really no what too do. For that reason Vote: Madeline

Hmm, @Wintermoot, could we ever consider getting something like a thread-specific search tool? That way someone could just type something like "vote" and then see all the messages where a vote has been cast, and why.
You can go to the "Print View" for the topic, which lists out all pages, and then Ctrl-F to find votes. It does get annoying though.

Post by: Wintermoot on April 29, 2020, 09:40:24 PM
Fucking hell. I had this post half-written and it literally disappeared from my browser. I have no clue why. v_v

I will admit that I haven't given this game the attention it deserves, although I've done my best. The fact of the matter is, when I joined I had no clue that it would blow up the way that it did, and this has been the sort of week where everything has demanded my attention, to the point where I’ve had to let things here that weren’t timely or vital drop. In fairness, so far it’s been more work and real life than anything here. I’m doing the best I can, but I admit I haven’t had the time or energy to put into it that others have.

In any case, I’ve spent the last hour and a half reading through this phases’ post, and to be honest I’m not getting much out of it...what I’m seeing is a lot of misunderstandings (Red Mones-Pengu), WW culture/personality conflicts, and that weird thing Laurentus and Aragonn have been doing since last game. I don’t even know why Sapphiron and Red Mones are the wagons at the moment, except that apparently Sapphiron hasn’t been vocal enough and Red Mones has been erratic. It reads a lot like people are grasping at straws, even more than usual in Werewolf games, and I can only guess that’s because everyone is overwhelmed with pages of content and the possibilities that come with 28 players in a game.

The only substantive action that seems to have occurred (correct me if I’m wrong) is Pengu’s decision to claim that he’s the jailor and that Laurentus told him that he’s an investigative role. Laurentus’s replies seem to back what Pengu is saying, but is that because they’re being honest or because they’re both wolves wanting to avoid suspicion? There was a lot of talk of them being both wolves and both townies...are those the most likely outcomes? Like, if we were to lynch one and discover their side, would that mean that it’s reasonable to assume the other is on the same side? Or is that flawed reasoning? This is a new sort of situation for me in-game...generally people haven’t been allowed to bring up their roles, much less the role of another player.

Hmm, @Wintermoot, could we ever consider getting something like a thread-specific search tool? That way someone could just type something like "vote" and then see all the messages where a vote has been cast, and why.
Technically yes, but I’m not sure a thread-specific search tool is exactly what you’re wanting, because that would bring up any post with the word vote in it, rather than the posts that specifically contain votes.

So far he's cast suspicion on us all and even thrown a vote in my direction. I'm not taking hard action against him because he's not pressing so hard and all the town reads y'all are getting from him, but I don't trust him.
What does that make Pengu, Marzipan, Arenado, and Hapi if you, Hydra, Tau, and Laurentus are the members of House Valeria? :o
The newer Valeria members definitely do have a closer connection and the "Valerians stick together in Werewolf" meta comes from an earlier time, so feelings-wise it would be different. Aren of course has been in Valeria for quite a while, but I do also definitely see the Laurentus+Aragonn+Colberius+me and BSR+Hydra Valeria combos as particularly strong there.

Anyways, it's a little odd to me how common OMGUS votes (or what y'all call tit-for-tat) are here. On ZD those are seen as rather suspicious. Because you're supposed to be defending yourself, not throwing shade on the other person. Sure if you're town you know they're wrong, but you gotta show people they're wrong. Townies vote other townies all the time so you should be looking for behavior and not just retaliating for votes against you.
It probably is more common because usually games here don't develop enough early game for reliable information to develop. (Also note that "tit-for-tat" is more the general game theory term for this; I don't think we ever had that terminology widely used at all because of a lack of a need.)

Although technically that means the chances of me being wolf in a game go up after each town game, not really helping my case here though :P
While chances go up with repeated games, the chance for the individual game stays the same so that doesn't really affect anything lol

I will vote for Gerrick. Partly to balance things somewhat and partly because I am suspicious of their quiet approach to this game.
I would agree that Gerrick has been eerily quiet, which is certainly suspicious. I'm not sure if it's enough for me to vote for him, considering that the uniquely active nature of this game is, ironically, having a corresponding chilling effect on a lot of players' activity.

Ack who to vote for, especially with the recasting thing making life super confusing, maybe just leave it to RNG as it is...

More randomness for those who enjoy it
The Game core could be seen giggling like a schoolgirl from his vantagepoint as the day progressed, with so much pointing of fingers, a few spats, and lots of cores becoming more and more upset. As he made his truly epic descent into the room, he almost wished he hadn't either killed or maimed all the musically talented things around him. It could have been a truly dramatic entrance.

"Cores, turrets, friends! I come to push another one of you into the deadly pit of thousands of degrees, where you will explode and be reassambled in the seclusion of the watching room, never to speak to anyone ever again. Erm, I mean, only to speak to the also... whatever. I want to push one of you down a hole. Now who is it?"

A sheet covered blob pushes another sheet covered blob forward, causing them to rock a bit. The game core only laughs.

"Fools! Are you cores trying to lose? For you see, he was the button loving St4nl3y the whole time!"

And then the game core swings into the core, knocking them down the firey pit without a peep.

Night 2 begins now and will last until April 30th at 7PM EST. Power roles, please PM or discord DM me your actions.

Seems fairly obviously a hedge against picking a side on the chopping and being blamed for their death by pushing someone else into the picture, making it a tie, and 'leaving it up to RNGesus'.
Of course, pretty much every time I've done something like that, I've been scum (which, I mean, isn't necessarily indicative, just that I've rolled scum a weird number of times), but that gives me Suspicious Vibes, solely tempered by the fact that if he was scum, he could have just left his vote where it was and not really changed the outcome.
...unless both him and Mones are scum and he made that move to increase Mones' odds of survival by 17% while maintaining plausible deniability...

Damn, that's...actually a really good argument. I can't exactly defend Weissreich's decision here, so I'm not sure what to say. I think since I was yesterday's second choice, coupled with this, coupled with the fact there are still ALL SIX WOLVES some of which can wagon my ass, I'm dead tomorrow, or tonight, we'll see.

Alright let me jump on this real quick:

I do actually know how to play werewolf, unfortunately I’m a townie aligned jester which leads me to be inclined to be more of a nonsensical joke than someone actually helpful, hence the puns. Y’all also seem to only post when I’m about to sleep or I’m in the middle of work, this week in particular I’m primary on call, I’m just a site reliability engineer but that unfortunately means I work more this week than I do most of the time, I do love horrible timing.

As this is my first time playing with y’all, it’s pretty clear I’m being more suspicious than I intended, so of course form here forward until my death, just expect puns and potentially sensical nonsensical analyses of people who seem suspicious.

I really cannot for the life of me tell who is the turret scum whatever word you want to use this evening to describe the bad guys, but if it’s true the gel is on, that means I’m gonna bounce into somebody which will be very fun! (If it already happened then my bad, I really miss a lot because of work)

I'll change my vote from Gerrick to Aragonn.
I'm sorry, what? Mind explaining this?
Yeah I've got to say that was a bad decision. I was in the middle of a pub quiz type call with a lot of friends IRL and saw the tie and thought for some reason a three way tie was better than a two way tie. I have had suspicions about you in this game, but not enough to have pushed a wagon about you. In the end, all this has done is remove another townie from the game and for that I must admit a fair amount of responsibility.

Sapph, I'm sorry - if I'd been paying more attention I'd have voted for Mones. (Sorry Mones)

Seems fairly obviously a hedge against picking a side on the chopping and being blamed for their death by pushing someone else into the picture, making it a tie, and 'leaving it up to RNGesus'.
Of course, pretty much every time I've done something like that, I've been scum (which, I mean, isn't necessarily indicative, just that I've rolled scum a weird number of times), but that gives me Suspicious Vibes, solely tempered by the fact that if he was scum, he could have just left his vote where it was and not really changed the outcome.
...unless both him and Mones are scum and he made that move to increase Mones' odds of survival by 17% while maintaining plausible deniability...

It rather shows my inexperience with games that can have ties - I've actually never been in a situation IRL game-wise that has a tie decided by RNG. As I said in response to Aragonn above, I accept responsibility for my mistake.

This is an...odd claim. What even is a town aligned jester? The point of a Jester is to get lynched. If you're saying you only if you get lynched and town wins then I don't see why you would claim. Having suspicion thrown on you already would be great for your role, since you could just double down, get lynched, and meet your win condition. So it kinda comes to a wifom situation, where we either take your claim at face value or wonder if your claim sounds odd because you're actually scum fakeclaiming because who would want to lynch a claimed town aligned jester any time soon? So I am a bit skeptical of your claim and motives.




Also damn being asleep at eod. I didn't want the possibility of a Sapph lynch over the other two. He looked pretty decent when he started posting and was one of my few town leans.

It's interesting that it was a three way tie though. I'll have to look more into the voting patterns of the 3 wagons to see what sticks out to me. There's one common factor among both the wagons and the lynch of a townie (Red) so that's interesting. I'm town reading Ex on Sapph's wagon so that leaves Red and Gerrick as people of interest on the wagon. And Red's wagon had Sapph (flipped town), me (who I know is town), and Laurentus (who I'm slightly town leaning). So it's hard not to still he suspicious of Red after these events.

In the IRL Werewolf I've seen played there is a jester type that only wins if they get killed at night. Now that would still be weird to claim but could potentially be what they meant by town aligned.

oh it's 48 hour days huh
the one time i try to be responsible and do m'shit :^)

arenado's confusion claim sounds believable i guess but outright saying "hello i'm lurking and not going to vote" was pretty unhelpful. the least one could do is try is all i'm saying (which goes for everyone whomst is only posting to meet requirement). but i'll ease off this slot
i expected aragonn to retaliate onto me and he didn't and i'm inclined to read that as town. (or scum learning that only voting in retaliation is suspicious behavior...,,.,, the possibility is there, but i'm gonna disregard it)
weiss's vote for aragonn obviously makes both weiss and red suspicious even though it could be nothing but how is that not suspicious.

that 3way tie was interesting. i have been turning out to be Very Wrong so idk maybe people should stop listening to me lmfao (alternatively, if i am suspicious of everyone i will be right SIX TIMES!!! so there's something)
idk maybe my expectations of the players are different from what they should be, maybe i should have looked at other games on this site lmfao

Yeah I'm not pleased with it either, but the logic of "I don't want to cast the deciding vote, but I don't like anyone here, so I'm going to leave it to chance" is understandable. I'm not sure how much I buy the "sorry, I was out" argument though. It makes sense for a lot of us here, but still.

Five deaths last night:
ExLight, the Party escort bot, Bodyguard
Taulover, the Maintenance core, Doctor
Three modkills, the Morality Core, Hunter, the Oxygen Core, Villager, and the Ego Core, Mayor.

Nightly flavor is in here
The night was once again unrestful for the cores. First there was a loud bang that reverberated around the room, and when the smoke cleared, the Maintenance Core was found completely obliterated. The rest of the night progressed uneventfully until some singing distracted everyone, and the Party Escort Bot was found peppered with bullet holes when the cores returned to their normal activities. Three cores, the Morality Core, the Oxygen Core, and the  Ego Core, also appear to have frozen, and were subsequently pushed into the toxic waste by the game core.

Day three will begin with this post and end in 48 hours at 7pm EST on May 2nd.

The button is at 11 votes to press with three button-pusher deaths. One more is needed for the majority.

Well, we're fucked. :/
I would say we aren't completely screwed yet despite there being 6 turrets since they appear to generally be limited to one kill per night.  We also still have people who are good at analyzing posts for suspicion who are still alive although I would not be surprised if some of these people are scum.

We probably have some sort of town aligned killing role that hopefully has been keeping up with the posting.

I am curious, what do you all think are the chances of there being some truly neutral roles in this game?

Also, I would rather see a different effect in action so I hope someone else votes to push the button (not sure if it would happen if I voted to push it since the votes are cumulative and I voted to push it in the previous round).

What Aragonn said earlier about the tendency for themselves, Laurentus, Hydra, and Taulover to target each other when one of them is a wolf seems like something that could produce a good lead here.  Any thoughts there?
Title: Werewolf XXII: Of Cores and Turrets
Post by: Imaginative Kane on April 30, 2020, 11:30:20 PM
The loss of the players with those roles definitely does not bode well that's for sure since who knows how many defensive roles are left to protect the investigative roles.

I chose Wintermoot since he's also usually one to look at in games.  But since he could have been blocked by basically anything, it doesn't mean anything.

I did, however, get an interesting clue during the night though since the blue gel is still active:

"Some turrets carry cubes around. They have two heads, but only because more wouldn't fit."

It's basically nonsensical stuff that can refer to one or more of the turrets.  But, we do have member whose name refers to a multi headed monster, so it could be hinting at that.

The Button has been pressed. Blue Bouncy gel is no longer in effect.

White Portal Gel Is now in effect. Standby for falling into portal. Group PMs will be sent shortly. With 22 players, there will be 7 in two groups and 8 in another.

White Portal Gel: Players fall into subdimensions temporarily. Players are divided between three PM groups to continue events until the gel has been replaced, at which time they may return to the main thread.

Votecount for button pushing has been reset. Rolls can be found on sidekick because dyno seems ot be stuck on 2. A 3 means we are now in: White Portal gel.

Good lord guys let me post this thing.

The button has been pushed. All button votes have been reset. Once again, roll is on sidekick.

Hard Light Bridge is now in effect.

Hard Light Bridge: A new area is reachable across the toxic waste. Only three may enter. During this round, on top of voting someone out, vote someone to go into the new area. The effects of this area are unknown. The people with the top three votes at the end of each round this is active for will enter the area and receive its effects. They are not allowed to discuss the effects of the area for the duration of the game. The effects will change every time the bridge is rolled.

So you can all come back to the main thread now. Also, you have three things to vote on now: who to lynch, press the button, and who to send across the bridge. I'm on mobile cause it's sleep time, if I missed anything I'll fix it in the morning.

Nothing weird per see came up. The only ones who talked were me, Aragonn, Kane, and Marz at the end.

I will quote what I said "Also, upon further consideration, because Pengu would know he was making himself very suspicious if the Hydra lead was false, I don't think he would post something so specific without being Core-aligned.
Therefore, I will Vote: Hydra now and see where the votes go."

It sounds a little confusing and reeks of new/inexperienced player, but I stand by it.

Keep in mind, we were in the group PM with Hydra. We accused him, and based on his response, (which I obviously can't share) I'm sure he's a turret. Don't just take my word for it (I know I'm somewhat suspicious to a few of you, and therefore may not believe me) @lil g was with me as well (who I think most are townreading).

I don't know what to make of my scan.

After yesterday's mislynch on Sapph, I scanned Mones, and the blue effect messed with the result.

The scan came back as regalliv. Upon reflection, it's villager spelt backwards. I don't know why it's written in red.

In summary, I think my scan was worthless and I'm not going to base any decisions on it.

At the same time, though, the red may just be a red herring, the description of the effect says "jumbled" which "regalliv" is. The color doesn't quite fit that description, but I don't know. Have you had a chance to successfully scan someone? And did it come back in a specific color?

"Some turrets carry cubes around. They have two heads, but only because more wouldn't fit."

The "some turrets" thing is worrying me.

Also, according to mythology, the most commonly cited number of heads for the Hydra is 9, not 2. I suppose that's where the "only because more wouldn't fit" thing comes in, though.

My other worry is that we have someone masquerading as a Town power role, which also seems to be a sensible reading of this clue. If that were the case, though, it would have made more sense to refer to it as "faces" and not heads. Heads is oddly specific.

Yeah, that's why the wording stuck with me a bit.  The type of person is normally called Two-faced, so the choice of saying two heads was an interesting one.

This is possibly a long-shot, but if it's not referring to Hydra (not discounting it, but adding an alternative), perhaps two of the turret players have a linked power between them?  Is there such a role that exists that would be similar to that?

Off that note though, I'm willing to take a shot at Hydra because he's an experienced player, and the dead list of non-mod Turret-killed players (Tau, Ex, Funnier) tells me that at least one of the Turrets is pretty experienced.  You don't pick off players like that at random in a game of 30 (well, 24 dis-counting the turrets themselves) people, these are turrets who know who they're after.  Laurentus speaks truth when he says there's few people who would know to kill off Tau early because Tau can be a pretty big threat to scum if kept around, and Hydra is on that list.

So I'm willing to follow my gut and go with Laurentus on this one.

Vote: Lynch Hydra

I don't usually trust random effects in games (having done them myself in hosted games and know how bad they can sometimes get), so I'm going to also Push the Button.

I'm going to wait on voting on someone to go across the bridge.  Either the effects will be good, or could be potentially bad, so I want to weigh the options of sending a potential good guy that might possibly be negatively impacted, or sending a potential bad guy to get positively impacted.

I do what to hear what his responses to some of the questions asked in the the chat were though.  We have people like Red Mones say that his responses didn't ease suspicions (and if anything it sounds like possibly raised further ones), and both him and Lil G chose to vote for him after being in their own chat with him.

So I'm curious as to what was said in the chat if it supposedly made him a bit more of a suspect.

Ruguo's statement seems to imply that I misinterpreted the clue and that the clue wasn't meant to point to Hydra at all. However, based on that I can only rely on him according to what other people say and that he was already suspicious to me, my vote still stands.
The Franckenturret is the only turret I know of that has two heads. It also "carries" a cube. This may be what Pengu's clue was referring to.

I don't know if it's purposeful or not, but Red Mones seems to have only increased in erratic behavior, and I don't know what that means...

Oh. Had my page on the PM page this whole time because of chats and was wondering why no one was talking in there. Didn't know we were back in thread. Lol.


Also y'all hold the fuck up. Can we get some of these votes off of Hydra? He's almost at maj and the only evidence presented has been surrounding this clue Pengu got that Ruguo clarified wasn't supposed to point to an actual person. This wagon looks too easy with how fast it built. And I know I had Hydra in my slight scum leans d2 (mostly just based off of my feelings when I saw his name). But I would actually, ya know, like to talk about why he seems suspicious.

The fact that every vote is for him right now makes it seem like an easy wagon which I never like.

I agree. I really want to hear his defense. However, ANY guess at turrets right now we make will be based on conjecture. No one else should vote him or lynch him without hearing his defense, but I don't think unvoting will help a lot right now either. No one is really in the clear right now. I would rather read the votes as they come.

Hmm, this clarification sure mixes things up. You may be right about the faces part, it's possible that's what Ruguo means, but said "heads" to keep it consistent with the game

Wagons are never this easy. We probably have scum on it.

Slow down there, Doc. You said Weissreich may have voted for me to decrease the chances of me being lynched in the scenario we were both turrets. But that doesn't track with Weiss' actions today. He ignored a Hydra wagon to start one for me? When he was originally "trying to help me"? The first instance might make, sense, he took a risk, by allowing me to still possibly be lynched, but today's action os way too risky. And are we just gonna ignore Lau's night action?

We should ignore Laurentus' night actions actually. He said they were effected by the blue gel right? The wording was backwards and villager was in red. Who is to say that the villager part itself wasn't effected as well and the result should have been "wolf"?

I know you'll argue against obviously, but the fact that you've been suspicious makes me think that is a possibility. You're not cleared by his results at all.

Ok here's a short overview of the relevant parts of our PM group:

I started off with asking Hydra about himself. I voted to push the button. Lil G stated a few thoughts, not really relevant here, and nothing useable. I responded to said thoughts. I said I was focusing on the Pengu clue. I mentioned @ExLight said he got a weird PM, I was wondering if it was a relevant clue from Ruguo. Lil G reminded me of Pengu saying he would get a hint. I said I looked through his posts, and confirmed that was true. I mentioned I was surprised that Pengu wasn't killed, but said it would make sense for him to be defended, so maybe not. Lil G speculated he was defended by ExLight, and was killed because of it. Deku dropped in, said he didn't really know what was going on , voted to push the button. Hapi says she blocked Pengu last night, voted to push the button. I said it was weird that she would block him, and weird that she would bring it up. She stated she didn't totally understand how it worked, and didn't understand how the effect would affect it. Gerrick pops in, mentions frankenturrets, still thought it was Hydra, ask hydra to defend himself, votes hydra, declines to vote button. Hydra comes in and all he says is "It could mean other things", votes to push button. Lil G stated he barely had a defense. I states he barely had a defense, voted for him. Hydra says he doesn't know what the clue could mean, but we can work to figure it out.

(Because I've already observed the possibility that he went in to save you. Starting a wagon on you - especially one that doesn't pan out because there's 10 votes on another guy - is something very useful to have saved in his back pocket should you turn out to be scum (or for you, if he turns out to be scum).
'Bussing' fellow scum, in quotes to indicate that it's hardly being thrown under the bus when you're in no present danger of being lynched, is pretty textbook play.)

A very brief overview of our chat:

We discussed the hint a bit and said it could be Hydra but seemed too ambiguous to say. Almost everyone in the chat, including myself expressed suspicion on Doc actually (unrelated to the hint). Others seemed to think he's not playing to his town meta. I thought the whole act of his posting style could be a cover to make it look like he's scum hunting while actually not. Lau thought we were reading him wrong.

Excalibur suggested us all voting for Doc to put pressure on him when we got back in thread. That was the main gist of our chat.




Also hold up. Few questions. Did Gerrick specifically refuse to push the button or he just didn't vote?


And didn't Pengu say his target was blocked? But Hapi said she blocked Pengu? Then how did Pengu get a hint???

I feel these actions don't add up.

Hapi said "I blocked Pengu. I'm town, but I like adding chaos and confusion" (not exact)

I responded:

Quote
Why would you block Pengu? That seems like a weird move. Also, he said his target was blocked, not that he was. I feel like he would've told us if he was, unless Ruguo didn't tell him as his target being blocked takes precedence but idk. You're blocking him shouldn't affect him being from being attacked or defended either, so it's weird you bring that up.

She responded: (not exact)

"I'm not sure how my block works. It's a blue gel effect. I blocked him because of his suspicious claims. I assumed it works like ToS Escort.

I dropped it after that.

While I agree that it implicates Hapi, I think from what I've seen that her posts are consistent with her normal gameplay personality. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't have a good read on her, but she did say at one point that if she were voted up she would tell us everything about her role and I've been town-reading her so far. This may not be the best decision, but I think we have more suspicious people we can go for right now. Thoughts?

I'm very tempted to vote for Hapi, but will remove my vote from Hydra in the meantime so people can't hammer.

@Hapi, what in the hell is going on?

And to @Vroendal, i don't have a meta for Hapi. This is the first time I've played with her. She seemed very townie early on, but I don't know what's going on anymore.

Hydra comes in and all he says is "It could mean other things", votes to push button. Lil G stated he barely had a defense. I states he barely had a defense, voted for him. Hydra says he doesn't know what the clue could mean, but we can work to figure it out.
There really wasn't much more that I could say. I admitted that the clue definitely pointed a huge finger toward my name and therefore me, but I knew it had to mean something else. However, my Portal knowledge is rusty and I had no concrete explanation for the cryptic message. Glad Ruguo cleared it up though.

Hmm, I'm not seeing anything conclusive about the actions that took place in Hydra and Mones' PMs, then.

@Hydra, what is your opinion on the Tau kill?
I mean, you're spot on. First people I'd turn to after a tau kill are you and Aragonn. However, I'm getting town reads from you but am unsure about Aragonn. Besides House Valeria, I'm more than confident that Gerrick, Pengu, Doc, and Crush have all seen and know how dangerous tau can be as town to the wolves and would put him on a target list if they were wolves. As stated in my previous post, my Pengu read is heavily dependent on your read (because of the outed roles), but for Gerrick and Crush I'm at a loss. Not sure about Doc's meta in this game either (although loving the in-character posts :P).

I can't make sense of Hapi's actions. Sowing chaos and confusion is something only scum is supposed to do. But why admit it?

"Some turrets carry cubes around. They have two heads, but only because more wouldn't fit."

The "some turrets" thing is worrying me.

Also, according to mythology, the most commonly cited number of heads for the Hydra is 9, not 2. I suppose that's where the "only because more wouldn't fit" thing comes in, though.

My other worry is that we have someone masquerading as a Town power role, which also seems to be a sensible reading of this clue. If that were the case, though, it would have made more sense to refer to it as "faces" and not heads. Heads is oddly specific.

Yeah, that's why the wording stuck with me a bit.  The type of person is normally called Two-faced, so the choice of saying two heads was an interesting one.

This is possibly a long-shot, but if it's not referring to Hydra (not discounting it, but adding an alternative), perhaps two of the turret players have a linked power between them?  Is there such a role that exists that would be similar to that?

Also, it has been brought to my attention that maybe I should have added a disclaimer. So here it is. Any similarities between flavour and players is pure coincidence and should be treated as such.

Ruguo's statement seems to imply that I misinterpreted the clue and that the clue wasn't meant to point to Hydra at all. However, based on that I can only rely on him according to what other people say and that he was already suspicious to me, my vote still stands.
The Franckenturret is the only turret I know of that has two heads. It also "carries" a cube. This may be what Pengu's clue was referring to.

I don't know if it's purposeful or not, but Red Mones seems to have only increased in erratic behavior, and I don't know what that means...
can you point to exactly what red's erratic behavior is? i haven't seen it as erratic today. plus, if hydra is scum that makes Red look great since people are trying to start a counterwagon.
How do you know what the Frankenturret is, and what kinds of turrets exist?
The power of psychic telepathy google search. What makes Barnes core aligned to you guys btw?
gut, mostly. i believe barnes mentioned having not played for a while during d1? and it's like i can physically see the rust coming off as the game goes on.
And didn't Pengu say his target was blocked? But Hapi said she blocked Pengu? Then how did Pengu get a hint???

I feel these actions don't add up.


if Pengu has a passive ability due to the gel effects, that would be immune to a role block.

Hapi, is your role similar to pengu's? because if it's the same role, that would invalidate his clue.

I guess that it's just my inexperience showing, I described him as erratic, but that probably wasn't the term I was looking for. I had seen him described as erratic before so I guess I jumped on that bandwagon. I personally don't like all the frequent short posts that he keeps sending. I feel like they're meant to say to us "look at me, I'm very townie" while in actuality he's trying to play us. I might be falling right into turret hands, but I have an innate distrust of him right now, and describing him as erratic was the easiest way to justify it at the time.

Something about his D1 goofs came across as very townie. I'd have to go reread. But this is just insane.

Unvote: Hydra

I'm very tempted to vote for Hapi, but will remove my vote from Hydra in the meantime so people can't hammer.

@Hapi, what in the hell is going on?

And to @Vroendal, i don't have a meta for Hapi. This is the first time I've played with her. She seemed very townie early on, but I don't know what's going on anymore.

Umm what's going on is, before this whole group chat thing started I saw Pengu mention here that he couldn't do his jailor ability because of target block. I stated that's my role privately to the chat because

A. I thought not being able to share what happened in the chat meant it wouldn't leak outside the chat

B. I was confirming Pengus claim and verifying that I blocked him.

As stated in group I do not understand how my block works EXCEPT that it is a blue gel effect.

It is written as you jump in front of your target blocking them. I assumed its ToS escort. Could it mean something else maybe?

Why'd I block Pengu? I had two reads on how my ability might work.
1. I block the actions of my target. Blocking Pengus actions seemed like it could be a smart play since many seasoned players were at least mildly sus he might be a turret jailor

2. It might block anyone from approaching Pengu like a BG in ToS.

I figured Pengu would see a bit of action based on previous day claims. I figured he was a high value target for wolves if he wasn't one.

In not understanding my roles exact nature I hedged my bets by targeting someone that either action might hold beneficial.

And didn't Pengu say his target was blocked? But Hapi said she blocked Pengu? Then how did Pengu get a hint???

I feel these actions don't add up.
Here's my discussion with Hapi: (@Ruguo, you said no screenshots, do exact quotes "count"?)

Hapi said "I blocked Pengu. I'm town, but I like adding chaos and confusion" (not exact)

I responded:

Quote
Why would you block Pengu? That seems like a weird move. Also, he said his target was blocked, not that he was. I feel like he would've told us if he was, unless Ruguo didn't tell him as his target being blocked takes precedence but idk. You're blocking him shouldn't affect him being from being attacked or defended either, so it's weird you bring that up.

She responded: (not exact)

"I'm not sure how my block works. It's a blue gel effect. I blocked him because of his suspicious claims. I assumed it works like ToS Escort.

I dropped it after that.

Really kind of perturbed that any of this was shared. But I digress its my fault for misunderstanding how things worked.

"Some turrets carry cubes around. They have two heads, but only because more wouldn't fit."

The "some turrets" thing is worrying me.

Also, according to mythology, the most commonly cited number of heads for the Hydra is 9, not 2. I suppose that's where the "only because more wouldn't fit" thing comes in, though.

My other worry is that we have someone masquerading as a Town power role, which also seems to be a sensible reading of this clue. If that were the case, though, it would have made more sense to refer to it as "faces" and not heads. Heads is oddly specific.

Yeah, that's why the wording stuck with me a bit.  The type of person is normally called Two-faced, so the choice of saying two heads was an interesting one.

This is possibly a long-shot, but if it's not referring to Hydra (not discounting it, but adding an alternative), perhaps two of the turret players have a linked power between them?  Is there such a role that exists that would be similar to that?

Also, it has been brought to my attention that maybe I should have added a disclaimer. So here it is. Any similarities between flavour and players is pure coincidence and should be treated as such.

Hapi, is your role similar to pengu's? because if it's the same role, that would invalidate his clue.

I don't think so? Again I really don't understand it other than that its a blue gel effect.

And if you remember I needed to clarify how that worked yesterday too.

How it is not flavour? I would think any game moderated clue would be counted as flavour, the Frankenturret would certainly be counted as flavour. I don't think anyone is sure about the true answer. I just want to hedge the benefits of having a suspicious player up so we can get more information.

Post by: Michi on May 01, 2020, 09:11:22 PM
Yeah, even I said that it should be taken with a grain of salt in the chat since it's incredibly ambiguous.  It could refer to linked-power roles meaning that two turrets have a link with their powers since a Frankenturret isn't two headed...it's literally two sentry bots built together on a cube.

It could also mean that one of the turrets has two lives.

The Hydra bit just seemed more plausible because of the "because more wouldn't fit" bit, but that could just be added flavor.

That being said, I'm willing to unvote for now because the wagon seems too eager to build too quickly to early.  I wanted to sleep on it before doing so, and yeah...I'm still iffy about it.

how does that help us though? we already know the town team is cores and the non-town team is turrets. in what way does it benefit us to know that frankenturret is non town?

Welp, that escalated quickly.  But since I already outted my role, I should just come out and clarify that no, I'm not a Scum Jailer.  One of my effects (the Blue Gel one) gives me clues about who a Turret may be during nights when it's activated, so I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be the Scum's favorite person.
he specifically mentioned it will give him a clue on who a turret may be, emphasis on WHO. why would "who" mean a specific turret instead of a specific player? what kind of special ability/benefit is it if it's worthless?

Looks like a lot happened while I was working on finishing a couple of my finals.  I am kind of curious to see what will happen with players on the hard light bridge.  Also I feel like we should nominate more players to go on to the bridge.

If there is a chance for a negative effect then maybe we should send some inactive or other suspicious players to the bridge since only one can by lynched.  Also @Ruguo are players on the bridge immune to night actions from the different roles (like turret attacks or protection) or are they still subject to them.
If players on the bridge are immune to night actions and unable to use their night actions on those of us not on the bridge, then perhaps we should send some of our confirmed town or likely town players onto the bridge?

Also I feel like this would be a good post to bring up this post.
I do actually know how to play werewolf, unfortunately I’m a townie aligned jester which leads me to be inclined to be more of a nonsensical joke than someone actually helpful, hence the puns.

I really cannot for the life of me tell who is the turret scum whatever word you want to use this evening to describe the bad guys, but if it’s true the gel is on, that means I’m gonna bounce into somebody which will be very fun! (If it already happened then my bad, I really miss a lot because of work)
I have never heard of a town aligned jester.  That sounds suspicious, especially if the jester role is anything like Town of Salem's role.  Also what is that about you bumping into other players during the blue gel effect Madeline?

As I don't know when she will return, I will paraphrase, not quote, what she said in the group for the last effect. (She posted after the effect had been reset, not realizing that the main thread was open again.)

She said, "last night I bumped into Weissreich, this means you know I can't be a turret."

I don't think that anyone would be able to come up with that unique of a role without actually being that role, but that's just my opinion. I'm town reading her right now.

I did in fact bump into Weiss and due to an effect was unable to respond to that other person suspicious of me.

Huh I did not expect that, that is quite interesting to see.  Although the players on the bridge can't say what happens to them there, it might still be noticeable in other ways so for that reason I will nominate some players we haven't heard from that much to send them to the bridge.  My vote is going to send Wintermoot, who knows the bridge might provide an insight into what one of their possible actions is?

I also nominate Wintermoot for the bridge, I don't know if he'll be around to say much of anything, but we could try. We should probably try to send over a core, a turret, and an unknown. I'm relatively sure that Hapi is core and the Wintermoot is turret, and I'm still not sure at all about Red, so I think we should stick with those.

how does that mean she can't be a turret? i don't follow the logic.

Because if she chooses to bounce into someone during the blue gel period (which I'll assume she does get the choice), then that brings down her chances at least to me because the literal first line of my blue gel effect was "You know turrets don't bounce so well."  That in itself could have been a clue at the beginning if there's a role that can bounce and bump into people during the blue gel periods.

And considering the fact that in the games turrets (with the exception ot the Frankenturret) are stationary unless picked up or dropped in a portal, it makes sense that they wouldn't bounce in blue gel unless they were dropped onto it.

@Imaginative Kane: There's also usually never a jailer role that can ask for clues from people.  I wouldn't put it past Ruguo to find a way to make a town-aligned Jester.

I feel like the most important thing with regards to Hydra is trying to figure out whether Pengu's clue is counted as "flavor".
Quote from: Ruguo
Also, it has been brought to my attention that maybe I should have added a disclaimer. So here it is. Any similarities between flavour and players is pure coincidence and should be treated as such.
I don't know why else Ruguo would point this out after the accusations against Hydra other than that that's what they're referencing.

Unvote: Lynch Hydra as that was the foundation of my suspicion against him.

Barnes and Excalibur, however, just became much more suspicious in my eyes for voting for Hydra after being given that disclaimer.

Vote: Lynch Excalibur because of that^, but also reading through his posts (https://wintreath.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=2289), he's not giving great reasons for his votes and seems like he's generally trying to not rock the boat.

Vote: Send Myself to Bridge because I wanna see what this is all about.

Also, I just wanted to note that I never got a message from Hapi in the group PM... Did they forget to hit "Reply All" or something? So I didn't see that role claim they apparently made and so not really sure what it's all about. Hard to be convinced when I didn't see it firsthand, so my suspicion of them has not decreased.

@Red Mones, you can send me screenshots, that'd be great. Or you can just send them within your PM thread if that makes things any easier for those involved as they should have gotten said info to start with.

Just to be clear, I wasn't really doubting that it happened (I know I've done the same thing before in group PMs), just that I think the wording is very important as secondhand summaries can (even unintentionally) hold a bias one way or the other in an exchange.

Could be cleared up if Hapi and then Red Mones just quoted what they said in the PMs. (or do what Ruguo said^, just posted before I could.)

@Gerrick I admit I have been quite suspicious of Excalibur since the beginning. However, I'm still not convinced that Hydra isn't a turret. I feel strongly about both of them to the extent that I say we should lynch one, and that the possible core killing role should nab the other, especially if one should inexplicably turn out to be core. However, before that happens I want to hear more from both of them. If this is a bad play, please explain why it is to me, I am aware that my inexperience may make me commit bad choices.

I'm legit annoyed though. Any group chat feature anywhere on the web replies to the whole damn group if you reply within it so no it actually is stupid.

And has little to nothing to do with my ability to pay attention because I never would have clicked reply all at the top when I was reading within a pm thread. Now granted I'm mobile maybe it looks diffrent on web but having two diffrent reply options in two diffrent locations is in fact dumb.

Barnes and Excalibur, however, just became much more suspicious in my eyes for voting for Hydra after being given that disclaimer.
I was worried that following the wagon would lead to that suspicion. I also didn't want to unwagon just as quickly, since everything is contradicting information (which I understand is the point). That information was the best I had to go off of.

I'll unvote Hydra, but I don't think I should be trying to make Gerrick happy here. Literally almost everybody has me suspicious at this point.

I just want to make it clear that I am in no way saying that the PM system is perfect. It does its job, but it could use some improvement. That said, you have two pages with details that show how the system works. The first page is the inbox. The existence of a 'reply all' button should tell you everything you need to know. But in case that was not clear enough and you end up hitting 'reply' at the bottom of one of the messages, you still have the next page to figure it out. On the page where you type out your message to send it has a list of all the names of the people the message will be sent to. If there's only one name when you're sending to a group PM, you're clearly doing something wrong and should copy your message then go back to find the right thing to do which is to hit the 'reply all' button. Then you paste your message, make any additions and/or changes you want, and then hit send. The only way you could screw that up is if you weren't observing and didn't care to think about how the system might work, instead opting to assume it works like some other system.

Enough. There will be no more calling each other stupid or dicks. This is a game, and it's meant to be fun. It can already get heated without using inflammatory language.

Aragonn, your approach here was not helpful. You could have just said "yeah, this is a bit of a problem but now you know, and for future reference this is how you solve it."

To everyone calling the feature "stupid" you're not helping either. Just mention Wintermoot and ask him to have a look at it, because I'm pretty sure when I hit Reply it does actually reply to all, so this sounds like a glitch.

TL;DR: Please stop with the inflammatory nonsense and let's play Werewolf. Danke.

Please, everyone stop. When we nitpick, tit-for-tat, call each other names, it makes the game unenjoyable for everyone. Are you having fun? Because I'm really not and I doubt anyone is right now. There can be a time and place for mechanic discussion, but it's not here and now. Can we get back to the actual gameplay? Please don't get angry at me or be offended by what I say, I'm just citing my opinion. We need less infighting...

Wintermoot puts on his forum admin/developer hat.

I regret that this issue with PM chains has sparked such an incident in the game. SMF has always been clunky like that, and I've been working those issues out over the years. Unfortunately it's a lot of work (overhauling the topic page took around 30 hours of work), so I've had to prioritize parts of the forum that are most used, leaving areas like PMs relatively neglected. As it so happens, the Reply button in each individual message used to do that too and was changed after this issue came up in a previous Werewolf game. I will look into changing it here as well as soon as I can.

I think you should take some time and reflect on how condescending that comes off as. It's embarrassing enough for someone to have to admit that they've made a mistake without someone all but calling them an idiot for it. I know that this is a game that gets aggressive sometimes, but this is really out of line, and I expect better from someone who has been around for so long, especially toward someone who is still relatively new to the community. This is a situation where it would do well to remember the Golden Rule.

I do recommend all players please read Laurentus' topic.  Despite the nature of this game, it's meant to be a fun time for everyone involved, and instances like this aren't fun for anyone.

In the end, we have to remember this game is going to push us emotionally, but that doesn't mean that we need to start attacking each other.  We're all here to have fun as friends and play a competitive game.  Please just think about what you say before you say it: if you're writing a post that is personally grilling a player and throwing names or potential insults, please think twice and redo your post.  If you feel like a player is doing this to you and making you uncomfortable, don't retaliate.  Get with someone in the chain of command listed in Laurentus' thread (either the host, myself/the current thane, the jarl, or Wintermoot if it's really bad), and we'll get it taken care of.

But despite us hurling accusations, let's try to remain at least a bit friendly with the other players and keep the personal digs to getting them to confess being a wolf/turret without flaming them to make your point.

Off that note, let's get back to finding us some turrets shall we?

@Wintermoot if my calling the PM system stupid at all made you feel like your work was unappreciated. I assumed that it was a feature of the message board system and not something that would relate to your work on the forums at all. I apologize for my choice of words.

A lot happened last night. To the point where I didn't want to come back to my own thread. Let's all treat eachother better, yeah? So thank you Lau for putting together a code of conduct. The next time I see behaviour of the like in my thread, I will consider kicking people from the game. This is supposed to be fun, not a personal attack on anyone.

In light of these events, would an extension for the day phase be useful to anyone while we get back on track?

Hapi has chosen to be modkilled at the end of day. Please respect that choice and don't try to drag them back. As such, all votes for Hapi have been discarded.

I feel strongly about both of them to the extent that I say we should lynch one, and that the possible core killing role should nab the other, especially if one should inexplicably turn out to be core. However, before that happens I want to hear more from both of them. If this is a bad play, please explain why it is to me, I am aware that my inexperience may make me commit bad choices.
I feel like the most important thing with regards to Hydra is trying to figure out whether Pengu's clue is counted as "flavor".
Quote from: Ruguo
Also, it has been brought to my attention that maybe I should have added a disclaimer. So here it is. Any similarities between flavour and players is pure coincidence and should be treated as such.
I don't know why else Ruguo would point this out after the accusations against Hydra other than that that's what they're referencing.

Unvote: Lynch Hydra as that was the foundation of my suspicion against him.

Barnes and Excalibur, however, just became much more suspicious in my eyes for voting for Hydra after being given that disclaimer.

Vote: Lynch Excalibur because of that^, but also reading through his posts (https://wintreath.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=2289), he's not giving great reasons for his votes and seems like he's generally trying to not rock the boat.

Vote: Send Myself to Bridge because I wanna see what this is all about.

Also, I just wanted to note that I never got a message from Hapi in the group PM... Did they forget to hit "Reply All" or something? So I didn't see that role claim they apparently made and so not really sure what it's all about. Hard to be convinced when I didn't see it firsthand, so my suspicion of them has not decreased.
I find it curious how people are being suspicious of me. I've pretty much tried to help the town through all my actions, and have been attempting to scumread others. I'm new to the game, that's true, and so I've also been a bit quiet as well. I can see how all of these things can contribute to my suspiciousness.

However, I'll give you a clue as to what I am. Part of the reason ExLight didn't die that first night is because of me.

That's a bit of a bold claim, interesting. You have reminded me however to go and look back at the D1 votes. I don't want to believe that all the votes against the cores we know of now were also cores. Surely some turrets joined the wagon. Of those who voted Batma n, and ExLight were definitely cores, Hapi was probably a core, and if we still believe Pengu, you can surely understand, Aragonn, that we might be sus of you.

Excalibur, you, Gerrick, and Batma n all voted Hapi. Batma n was a core, and you're claiming an interesting role. People are town-reading Gerrick, but based on all this one of you surely must be a turret, even if Hapi was being suspicious.

So we have Aragonn, Gerrick, Excalibur with his bold claim, and possibly Pengu, though I'm quite inclined to belive that he is core.

I also find the Barnes vs Doc interesting as well. Not sure what that means, but I'm inclined to believe based on both of your interactions that you might not both be on the same side.

I assure you that I am a core, but I hope I don’t have to roleclaim due to some of the restrictions behind it. It is a bold claim, but, if the way powers are ordered is how I think they are, then I am definitely one of the two reasons ExLight survived that first night (the other being his own power obviously). The problem is the blue gel screwed with my power in N2, so I wasn’t able to choose.

The problem with your claim is that no one can prove it, which would be rather convenient for a turret don't you think?

If you continue on the assumption that you're innocent, who do you think should be lynched, Aragonn, Gerrick, Pengu, or none of them?

You're equivocating! :P
I think your phrasing would've been less suspicious if you'd said "I would have done this as scum, too", since right now you're basically implying that there's a chance you could be scum.

I also find the Barnes vs Doc interesting as well. Not sure what that means, but I'm inclined to believe based on both of your interactions that you might not both be on the same side.
It was honestly a hunch that I alluded to in day 1. Perhaps Arenado, Excalibur, Minish, and Pengu can speak more about this.

Plus Laurentus was attempting to throw us off of Doc during that same chain, which I'm not comfortable with.

Hapi was probably a core, and if we still believe Pengu, you can surely understand, Aragonn, that we might be sus of you.
You're right, I don't believe that Aragonn and Hapi could've been on the same side. If Hapi is core, then Aragonn's wolfiness should be obvious.

I'm voting for Aragonn at this point, but that doesn't take my suspicion off of Doc and Lau. Moot, too, for his quietness and wolfie past :P

No one could prove that ExLight was telling the truth, but we believed him, right? Like I said, this isn’t an official role claim, but I hope I’ve given some insight into my own abilities. As for my own hunches, I think Hapi was a core after all, meaning Aragonn is a turret. Therefore I will Unvote and Vote: Aragonn

Of course there's a chance I'm scum. Like. There's a chance anyone here is scum.

Also, we believed Ex because he gave details of his role. Which also got him killed. So don't do that, but also don't expect us just to take your word for things, @Excalibur.

@Wintermoot if my calling the PM system stupid at all made you feel like your work was unappreciated. I assumed that it was a feature of the message board system and not something that would relate to your work on the forums at all. I apologize for my choice of words.

I know you put a lot of work into this thing. That is all.

I've quit the game so I'll take my leave now just wanted to get that out somewhere have fun everyone. GL cores!! 
Don't worry, I didn't get that sense at all from you. The fact of the matter is there are problems with the design of the forums, and it doesn't help that SMF has been meandering toward the next major version for the last five years. I've tried to improve upon the design where I can, but unfortunately because PMs aren't used much outside of Werewolf and elections they haven't been the priority that other pages have been.

I regret that this issue has caused you to want to leave the game...obviously, the most active game in Wintreath's history has pushed the limits of what the forums and the community can take, and I hope that we'll find ways to overcome both in the future. I'd like to think these are growing pains that we can overcome. :)

I regret that this issue has caused you to want to leave as well. Things definitely got out of hand last night, but hopefully it's just a minor bump in the road in the long run.

Wintermoot puts his player hat back on.

What I find interesting is that I'm inclined to believe you and that scares me...
The problem with your claim is that no one can prove it, which would be rather convenient for a turret don't you think?

If you continue on the assumption that you're innocent, who do you think should be lynched, Aragonn, Gerrick, Pengu, or none of them?
What I find interesting is that in this round alone you've implicated a number of people as turret without giving any real reason or sticking to what others have already said: myself, Hydra, Excalibur, Red Mones, and Gerrick. It's like it keeps you active enough not to stand out for being conspicuously quiet, yet it keeps you uninvolved  enough not to be seen as the driving force behind any particular lynching.

If I've missed something here, I apologize, but is there any reason to suspect Gerrick besides the fact that he voted for Hapi on the very first day?

I was wondering when someone was going to point that out. It's interesting that you were the one who went for it. The reason I did what I did in that way was simply because I trust absolutely none of you. I recognize that the only leads on players we have are based on conjecture, I am not experienced enough to make formal judgements in this game, and I am observing how everyone reacts to my actions. What I really want is for people to participate in order to reveal more about themselves. I know that none of you know exactly if I am core or turret, but you can judge by the reasoning I have laid out so far that I am interested in putting as much information out as possible, which as far as I know is traditionally a townie play, the turrets already knowing who each other are, and wanting information to be hidden. I hope that answers your question.

In answer to your question, no there is not any other reason. I'm just going through the list trying to get people to talk. The turrets have escaped being caught for a ridiculously long time, so I want to look in places that seem safe.

it's equally likely ex protected a NK target, such as you or pengu.
Oh, and @lil g you should vote someone else to go across the bridge since Hapi is leaving. At this point, I think I should go as I still want the core, turret, and unknown to go across and I don't trust anyone else.

bridge vote: red mones

i still think the jailer clue points to hydra. no one can answer me on why the clue exists if it doesn't point to a player. if it doesn't point to a player then it isn't helpful so why is it considered a perk and why does it exist? that's my logic

although if there's a wagon on another player i suspect, i'm willing to switch probably

I really hope it doesn't have to come to that. Ruguo has done an incredible job on this game and the last thing I want is for anyone to feel that it wasn't worth it... that would be awful. Though there have been high tensions I think we can still continue if everyone pulls together to see it through.

I've honestly been fatigued by the whole experience at this point. I just wanted Silv to have a nice, massive game where all of us could have weeks of fun, and I wanted all the different communities that got together to have a great time too.

My heart is not in this anymore.

Post by: Ruguo on May 02, 2020, 09:48:02 PM
Alright Folks, serious time now.

How many people actually want to keep going?
I see this going down one of three ways from this point on.

1) We keep going as is and just see this thing through, regardless of people leaving and tensions running really high. I don't see this going well.

2) We take a break and come back to this when people are cooled off, and ready to try again with fresh eyes.

3) We end the game here. No conclusion, no fuss, it just stops.

I'm open to other ideas. Let me know what you think. The game is officially on pause until we sort this matter out.

I know for a fact that if we take option 2, we won't come back. People don't do that. So we have 1 and 3. People as a majority seem to be in favor of 3. I really don't want you to feel that this was all for nothing. I think the decision really lies with you. If you're done with it, we'll stop. If you feel like continuing, I for one will continue.

I vote for Option 1.

This game is one reason I have been able to keep some of my sanity with the craziness outside which has been causing stress for me.  I have been working hard in the game and this has probably been the one I have been most active ever in.

I don't feel the need to stop playing just because of tension between players.  I know I have historically been able to play well in games even when I had issues with other players in the game, even if I end up being more negative than usual.

I don't feel the need to stop playing just because of tension between players.  I know I have historically been able to play well in games even when I had issues with other players in the game, even if I end up being more negative than usual.

I guess the way I'm looking at it is that this isn't just tension between players.  Past games always have that and we do get through fine.

This is more tension from the high activity, getting used to the play styles of the new players (and possibly continued runoff from earlier in the game), tensions from new players not adapting to the game well as well as the amount of inactivity we get, tension from the overall amount of players where we've had to already replace 4 just within/after the first phase as well as actually modkill a couple of inactives...

And then the tension from arguing on top of all of that causing some players to just hit their emotional peak.

I hate saying this as a usual host myself, but at this point I'm mainly just waiting for another heated argument to happen or for even more people to say that they're quitting because of emotional fatigue...and don't think I didn't ponder it myself at first (But because I was supposed to be represnting us in the Championships, I tried to hold it down).

At this point, it might just be better if we step away...but since that usually kills the game in its tracks anyways, stepping away for good and revisiting the idea in the future seems the most logical.

On the note of Laurentus's added bit, a few days respite could work too, just give people a chance to wind down a bit.

Post by: Arenado on May 02, 2020, 10:28:09 PM
I'm just pretty convinced by this point that a negative atmosphere has descended on this game and that people are likely just going to be on edge this entire game. The mood of the game was different then a lot of folks expected and that's unlikely to change at this point, in my view.

I want to be clear, however, that this is absolutely not Silv's fault, they made an absolutely fantastic game. It's just that no one could have foreseen how the different styles people were used to would clash and create this atmosphere.

Alright. If given option 2 I'd be willing to give it a go contingent on y'all actually wanting me in the game. I would also seriously like @Aragonn to continue too but I don't know that he'd want to.

I'm sorry I called you a dick, I was really upset because it felt that you were calling me an idiot for not understanding the PM system on this site. I realize I over reacted. I'm sorry.

I really have had fun playing this. I love what Ruguo has done. Please don't kill this game.

With This being said the genuine fear that this game won't continue after two days seems realistic.

I'd suggest everyone take a break and see where their heads are at in two days. The break I've personally taken already has cleared a few things up and I see how I've overreacted here.

Thats all.

Including something y'all wouldn't even explain. I hope this is just another one of those moments. I think we just need space for a minute or...48 hours and we can get back to a truly fun game.

Werewolf 6's low didn't drive a wedge between the players. I am legit scared that with the way this game has gone down we end up with another November crisis.

Werewolf 6 was basically a grand old time for everyone involved, and probably my personal favourite game of Werewolf ever. There was just one player taking part who did something unspeakable, and ended up getting banned. The difference between the current situation and that one was that there was no toxicity between the players, and when the thing happened, we moved forward together as one.

I don't know what happened then, and I hope you don't think me presumptuous now, but I think it would do wonders for our community if we could look on this game and say, "Look what we have triumphed above. Even after all that we were able to continue." That would be amazing.

I know my activity has declined since the beginning, but that's been because of lacking motivation irl and not anything game related. I have been having fun with this game, and it's no where near as bad or hostile as some other games I've been in.


I would be fine with continuing. I just worry with how many have said they wouldn't like to continue that it would put a damper on the state of the game. They should be free to pull out if they want, but we've already had, what 5? modkills. I feel like continuing to modkill players puts both alignments in a bad position and sort of takes away from the purpose of the game.

I totally get what you're saying, I have considered it. But I see Hapi's willingness to come back after all that a very good sign already. I really want us to grow together, not apart, and I think we can legitimately grow together still.

I really love the ideas behind this game (thanks Ruguo!! :D) and despite it being extremely confusing to wrap my head around at first, I have thoroughly enjoyed partaking in it and getting to know you all a little bit better (especially those I've never really interacted with before). That being said, the last 24 hours have become very heated and therefore I will support whatever Ruguo decides.

If we all decide to reconvene after 48 hours, I am totally down to continue (if everyone else is on board), and I also stand by Pengu's suggestion of putting the game on hold and executing it again some time in the future.

Post by: Wintermoot on May 02, 2020, 11:06:13 PM
I vote for Option 1, though I do think if we continue we should have an extra day on this round so we can have this discussion and return to the game.

In a lot of ways, this game has been a victim of its own success...it was so well-designed and sounded so exciting to play that it attracted far more people than we ever had before, including some great guests from other places and some new people to the region from the Drew Durnil wave. But with that has come some growing pains...I hope that we'll have future games as active and as exciting as this one, and that we'll figure out how we can have them in a way that doesn't overwhelm people or stir up tensions. I see them as good problems to have (stemming from being more successful than ever before), that we just have to figure out and overcome.

But I think we owe it to everyone who has invested their time, energy, and heart in this game to see this thing through. Silv has designed a wonderful game, and it would be a shame to let that work go to waste. We have guests that have come here just to play this game, and I would hate for them to leave disappointed because of our growing paints. And we have a lot of players who have put a lot of their time into it, too...a lot of people who were excited about this game and hopefully could be excited again if we can come together. We have had some issues, yes, but it's not how you start that matters...it's how you finish.

Let's be a community that resolves to overcome this and finish strong.

This is contingent on people wanting me around Aragonn is being very hard on himself but both of the truly bad arguments have revolved around me and I don't want people to worry about my ability to handle the game. I don't want people to go easy on me for fear of how I might react.

But I do think with Lau putting up the code of conduct I feel people have a better grasp about what is considered pushing to far and it alleviates my concern personally.

I honestly think that I just want a break from the game. Like Lau, my heart isn't in it any more. I'm also worried that if we do take a break, people won't come back.

It really sucks, because I've really enjoyed participating in werewolf again, and I'm super impressed at how integrated everything is with each other and the Portal games, even if I don't understand it all.

What might be best is if we just start over in maybe a week or so. Ruguo can be host with a couple of modified roles (so no one has the same information or is outed), and maybe with a cap of 20 or so. That way it won't be so long that we forget to come back, and those still interested can return relatively quickly.

Post by: Red Mones on May 03, 2020, 02:27:43 AM
I agree with Wintermoot here. My suggestion is for @Ruguo to run a poll for 2-3 days. If option 3 wins, we shut it down. If option 1 wins, we can pick back up where we left off - the few days the poll is up will be our hiatus. It’ll give everyone time to think, even those that want to leave. Because let’s be real, it’s not true Wintreath Werewolf without Laurentus and Pengu. But if option 1 wins, and you still choose to leave, no judgment. Given the events of the past day or so, I think we can all respect your decision to leave.

And I would invite back both @Hapi and @Aragonn. It’s ok to make mistakes. It’s ok to have regrets. The right thing to do is to realize where you fucked up, apologize, and work towards not doing it again. The best thing we can do is work together - as a community. A community.

I'm just worried that at that point the game will not be the same. The numbers are going to be altered and it will be too far gone for town to win.

And I want to keep playing and would happy to rejoin. Just not in this current game. I've also had a shitty week mentally and would rather have a fresh start. We can consider this a practice round that doesn't count against the official Wintreath record.

I mean, if it counts it counts.  Are we really worried that much about harming the "official record?"  We're allowed to have rocky games every once in a while, because those experiences only help us in making better games.

If anything, I think this strengthens the idea that I proposed that we just need 2 games running.  Especially in a case like this where it's a large complex game, I think having a basic lighter game running alongside it could have benefitted since new players could jump into that one easily.

I'm fine for using the poll time as a period of reprieve, although I do share Barnes' worry that even a couple days might offput people from coming back. It'd be nice if things remained the same count wise and we even had Hapi and Aragonn come back, but I do agree agree that the time off could potentially alter things negatively if people step away and choose to stay away.

That's fair. My favorite round of werewolf ended in a draw. I suppose this game would just be inconclusive then?

I’d love to keep playing!

It’s just a little hard to keep up with what’s the game and what’s folks being uh not very pro gamer
(And maybe a little description of what the roles are would be helpful)

I’m dumb, I picked restart, with the added of maybe a little more clarity on what roles exist?

Someone had the idea (I think it was @Kiwi_Kebab actually) to have every player sign off on the code of conduct before we resume play/restart a game.

@DekuNut
How dare you forget about me, Mones :cry:
Joking aside, its completely fair, because i haven't done anything in this game. I don't have an excuse; I just can't focus on mafia any more. This has been a problem for a few years that I've really never tried to fix, nor have I accepted it and moved on. Due to that, I'll choose option 3, because I think the game should have a more active playerbase. It is honestly an interesting setup with a lot of good thought put into it, and it would be a shame to see this go to waste. Unfortunately, I probably won't be one of the ones in the new update, but it's for the best.

 I'm not sure where the best option lies. I think at this point everyone understands what this game is now and restarting the game with only interested parties would

A. Keep the modkills to a minimum (I hope)

B. Remove that negative air that's hanging over this thread people keep talking about.

But I'm worried about how any of these options effect our host.

I did think signing off on the code of conduct before playing is a very good idea.

It looks like that is the consensus. However, while I have the time to host during finals week, I lack the time to completely reshuffle everything. So the earliest this is starting again is going to be Friday night, but most likely Saturday.

Shameless self promotion time. While we are waiting for the Werewolf game to start back up, I have a game starting called Survivor. You can find it under the big 6 games in the Frostmist Arena. We still have 14 slots open, so join while you can! Sorry if  there's a better place to say this, I'm still trying to navigate this big website.

Alright my portal peeps! Attempt two is almost ready to happen, I just need one thing: Who is still playing? If you are dead, you are welcome to come back during this restart. So shoot me a PM if you are still interested/going to be in the restart, or post here, either works.

I look forward to seeing you on the other side.

Also, are you playing again then?

Was debating because I'm still in finals season so may not necessarily keep up, but sure, why not.

Out of curiosity, if you're not trying to salvage anything of the past game, what were the alignments of the players? It's gnawing at me. :P

The world may never know.  :P

But seriously, I've been yanking some of the same characters out and around and reworking others. The only say I can tell you for sure is that the scum has been completely revamped to avoid the former scum knowing what to expect.

So if you just want a list of players and their alignments, I guess I can do that. Your six scum were:

Laurentus
Hydra
Wintermoot
Minish
Kane
Aragonn

Everyone else was town or town-aligned. I'll probably end up releasing the master document once this is all over, and you can comb through that mess on your own time.

Hydra was kinda expected. :P

I'm definitely gonna go through that master document. I want to know what that clue about the two heads was.

Yeah, the clue was really never meant to point to Hydra. Ruguo clarified that to us.

And yeah, I think this has been one of my better scum games, haha.  :D

Honestly, though, I think Minish was the MVP in the scum faction.

If you still want help overseeing the game, I'll be throwing my Thane hat to help with that.

If not, count me in for the reset, because I'm ready to try again.
Title: Werewolf XXII: Of Cores and Turrets
Post by: Imaginative Kane on May 14, 2020, 12:40:32 AM
Oh I thought the restarting the game was mainly reshuffling the remaining roles.

Since the scum have been revealed, I will say that I was the turret responsible for all but one of the kills.

Count me as still in the game even though I will not be active until Saturday at the earliest because of my last final.

I could have missed the post because I did not get a forum notification.  (I do get an email for forum notifications and it is one I do check)  Good thing I still look at the forums sometimes without logging in.
