"Welcome!", you hear from the hostess herself as the door opens to Jessica Fletcher's cozy Victorian house. "I'm so glad you could join us this evening. Come on in and make yourself at home."
You thank her for the invitation as you step through the door, walking into a lively scene. A number of guests are already here and chatting with each other, sipping cocktails, and snacking on a buffet of appetizers that have been set out on a table off the the side. The smells wafting in from the kitchen promise an even more delicious meal to come. As you wonder the room making small-talk with the other guests, you are glad to have been invited to such a warm and intimate party.
Just as you have that thought, the lights cut off. In quick succession you hear surprised gasps, a piercing howl, and loud growls, bumps, and slashing noises. Did an animal get into the house?
In just seconds the entire ordeal is over and the lights are stored, revealing a scene of utter carnage. Everyone stares in shocked silence at the body crumbled over a chair, blood gushing onto the floor from around a dozen slash wounds as if she were clawed to death. You recognize her as one of the guests that was happily chatting just a minute ago, and off to the side you hear somebody vomit at the site. It doesn't take a doctor to tell that she's already dead.
"Oh dear", Wintermoot, Jessica's personal assistant, exclaims. "This looks like an attack from a werewolf! And the food!", he says in dismay while looking at the ruined food flung around the shattered wreck of the appetizer table.
Jessica ponders the situation for a split second. "And the door never opened, which means there must be a werewolf among us! I can't beleive it. We'll have to be extra careful and watch each other's backs from now on." Jessica says in response.
"And nobody can leave until this is solved. We can't allow a dangerous werewolf to escape into town. Who knows what chaos a werewolf could sow if it has the run of Cabot Cove?" Wintermoot continued.
The rest of the conversation is lost on you as you realize what this means. You're stuck in the house with a ravenous werewolf who has killed and will probably kill again. To stay alive, you will need to keep your wits about you, watch each other's back, and most importantly find and kill the werewolf before it kills you. At least you have a famous amateur sleuth here to help. Maybe you'll think of other silver linings too, eventually...
1) You may not share any private communications from the host (me). For example, you can claim to be a role, but you cannot share the PM I sent informing you of what your role is.
2) Players should not discuss the game with each other outside of the game thread and host-initiated private message conversations created by the host.
3) Once dead, you are allowed a single goodbye post so long as it doesn't influence the game in any way. Otherwise you may nost post as a dead player.
4) You must vote in every day phase, and players who have not voted for two days in a row will be eliminated from the game. You may vote No Lynch once in the game.
5) Day phases will be 48 hours, and night phases will be 24 hours.
6) When voting, you must vote in the following format for your vote to be registered by the Werewolf system:Code: [Select][vote]PlayerName[/vote]
Well, that was a nasty surprise. At least our wonderful host wasn't the one murdered. I guess I'll be the first to say that sniffing out the murderer, or murderers, should be our first priority. No pun intended.
@Eastern New England, @Michi, @Leesbra, @TGN, @Wiral, @Aragonn, @Rewan Demontay, @A Kindle Of KittensThank you, Sir. I was very lost without your insights. Well, without any proper investigations performed, I reckon we should vote off the quiet ones first. It seems to me like they have something to hide. Starting with Vote: Eastern New England!
Just a reminder that the day phase ends in less than 24 hours. Get talking and get some votes in, pronto. ^.-
I feel like you have a good point. Those who are quiet and unwilling to share information about what has happened are more likely to be werewolves. I only know of two people that could be in the category for now, so i’ll vote for the other one. Votes off to Vote: A Kindle Of Kittens.@Eastern New England, @Michi, @Leesbra, @TGN, @Wiral, @Aragonn, @Rewan Demontay, @A Kindle Of KittensThank you, Sir. I was very lost without your insights.

That's an interesting development. Did the wolves not target anyone? Or was their target defended? I suppose we'll find out in time.Well, either way that means we have 1 more day or night to figure out who is the werewolf.
How many wolves do we have? But yes, this should give us more time.Addendum: Also all 3 of Leesbra's posts seem to quote Aragonn and I don't know whether it's coincidental because Aragonn is posting a lot or whether it's indicative of something ???
One thing I'd be interested in to know is why TGN voted Rewan. Perhaps he could enlighten us.

oh my god i never knew that lmao. I’m used to using quote replies because of how Discord formats it, so I just have been doing that. Never realized how many went to him.How many wolves do we have?

We have three people who will be eliminated this round if they do not cast a vote. If I was a wolf, I would be casting votes to avoid getting slapped with the knockout rule. The only one terribly active other than myself is Leesbra.Successive in convincing others or not, I atleast want this message to make you realize that your logic here is less than sensible, and that I am trying to help us find the werewolf, or werewolves, among us. Not to shamefully bring our party and our town to its knees.
But wouldn’t we citizens also want to vote to avoid the same knockout rule, because if we don’t, that means less people left to stop the werewolf or werewolves from winning? You’re using an argument that can be redirected back to you, and it’s contradictory to any that you had last round. A plan that doesn’t have much regard as to who could be affected, and even state yourself that you are also a target of it. Wouldn’t carelessness for others be something that a werewolf has? And think about it, if you wipe the most talkative people of the game out, then that means a few bad events could secure our doom. I feel like you’re haphazardly planning votes that people will agree upon and carry out, for you to use previous followers against you because you can use their following as an additional reason. And a man without others to trust him is one that people will suspect of doing bad things. I will not take direct action against you, since that would be disrespectful to do on the first accusation and would just be pitiful, but know that I have eyes on you and your plans. Your plans made sense in the first day and I agreed with them, since I saw no flaws or hidden meanings behind it, but now that they’ve been voted out as a commoner and you’re plotting against me, i’m now contemplating if your voting against them was just a scheme to drag others down. In a game of trust and accusations, bad planning and follower accusing is a surefire way to get suspected of being the bad guy. And your words against me have made me lose trust within you and your plots, knowing they could be a fraud to drag innocent men and women like me down for your own personal gain. And though this message is personalized towards you, Aragonn, I am not saying you are the only one that could be a werewolf, because anyone here could be. With that said, and as a repeat of what I said before, your words of suspicion against me, a follower of your previous vote, has made me lose trust in you and has me questioning if you are even fully human. I now bid you a goodbye, and if I were to go missing by the next dawn, a farewell.That was a very aggressive defense. You know what else is aggressive? A werewolf. Ha, got 'em!We have three people who will be eliminated this round if they do not cast a vote. If I was a wolf, I would be casting votes to avoid getting slapped with the knockout rule.

In all seriousness though, don't get your whiskers in a twist. You're not going to get any hard evidence of someone being a werewolf. What you get are gut instincts and intuition. Everything is circumstantial. Yes, you did follow my line of reasoning in the first day. Who wouldn't? It's a strategy developed by werewolf veterans over the course of many, many games to allow Town to survive just a bit longer and have a better chance at winning the game. However, you did not vote for the same person as me. You voted for someone else, perhaps as a way to allow RNGesus to be the deciding factor in that lynch. Regardless, I've locked my sights onto you now. I will Vote: Leesbra. No hard feelings, bud.
No, it's not a meta thing. I originally voted for someone else, Leesbra voted for Kittens, ENE said something, and then I switched over.Okay then, the bolded bit is just really off then. For starters, because everyone that round was voting randomly except for Rewan, who also voted for A Kindle of Kittens (which apparently they didn't do properly since it was never recorded, and I just now saw it perusing back). But then you hopped off of ENE and voted specifically for Kittens, why? Because it was the popular choice? Even given what I said earlier about your anti-no-kill-on-day-phases bit (which, if we're being honest, has always either resulted in a D1 villager/Seer/Guardian kill, and has yet to result in actually killing a wolf), this still feels really off for you.
I needed a new target after ENE spoke up, and I thought Kittens had two legit votes for them. I thought that voting for someone else wouldn't change the outcome of the day. And you're getting upset at me for a D1 kill when it's literally in the rules that a vote must be cast every day. That means someone must die every day regardless of if you think it's right or not. That's just how the game flows. And yeah, it's tough getting a wolf on D1 with nothing to go off of and statistical probability not being on your side. That doesn't make me a bad guy. I'm just playing the game as written. That bolded bit was referencing them voting for Kittens after I voted for ENE. I later switched my vote to Kittens for the aforementioned reasoning. And oh no, Kittens was a townie. Statistical probability strikes again. But now we're on D2. Power roles have had a chance to do something. I understand my argument for Leesbra is more shaky than a skyscraper in an earthquake, but I can't let this one go.
Although, I will vote Aragonn (https://wintreath.com/index.php?part=profile&id=1102) to only counter their vote on Leesbra.This vote didn't actually go through. Make sure to use [vote] instead of bold or what you used to link my forum profile. Also this reeks of inexperience or wolf. Or both.
To be frank, I have a good feeling on Michi not being it, but no proof
Inexperience is the answer, thanks. Although, seeing the emerging consensus, it'd be best to change in order to best have a strong majority.Although, I will vote Aragonn (https://wintreath.com/index.php?part=profile&id=1102) to only counter their vote on Leesbra.This vote didn't actually go through.

I'm glad it worked out in the end, but that was painful. Well, it was nice knowing you folks. I just made myself enemy number one for the wolves. It'll take a minor miracle to survive tonight.We can only pray that you survive the night.
Day ends today, right? The only thing I can come up with at this point is Wiral's first post coming after Leesbra's death possibly points to them scum? Between TGN, Michi & Wiral, this is where I'm most comfortable to vote at this point.Oh shoot I thought I wasn't in the game anymore.
Vote: Wiral
We could also no-lynch, but I think that'd it just put us in the same predicament as right now (we basically miss one lynch for no real reason).
At the end of the day, the guests couldn't come to a consensus about who was a Werewolf: everyone thought that someone else was the wolf. So they decided this in the most fair manner possible...they drew straws, and @Eastern New England got the short end of the stick. Literally.You didn't say that if there was no majority, a random one would be picked! I didn't want anyone to be eliminated yet!
But it turned out random selection probably wasn't the best way to brand someone as a werewolf, because he turned out to be a fan/vanilla villager.
Night phase has started, and will run until midnight tomorrow, January 17th (or a little under 24 hours from this post). Those with things to do, let me know.
@Michi @TGN @Wiral @Aragonn
Yeah I'm kind of having a hard time figuring things out right now. I had some ideas on who it could be, but that last night felt like kind of a kick in the nuts to those ideas. That being said, I'm okay with taking a look at Wiral or TGN since they're both on my radar, though in all honesty I'm going to push more towards TGN until I hear more from them, since this is probably the most inactive I've seen them, and it doesn't sit right with me considering how usually active they are.Honestly, I don’t blame you Michi. If everyone knows me you know that there was a 3 month period were a post on the RMB wouldn’t be unliked for over an hour.
Vote: TGN

You're probably right. Vote: TGN
Yeah, this is like the re-runs now. Not participate a lot except twice purely out of defense, which is really classic wolf move. I'm was pretty sure Wiral was a townie, but now I feel like that's absolutely set since this definitely feels like wolfie TGN. Great game guys.Can’t be out of defense if you never had any
Right. Me calling you out for your inactivity and you defending your sudden activeness despite being quiet all day is definitely totally not defending anything.Yeah, this is like the re-runs now.

@Rewan Demontay: Thanks for your feedback ^-^ I hate to sound like a broken record, but can you elaborate on what you'd like to see in terms of guidelines?1) A list of all possible roles and powers.
As far as how to guides and whatnot, we actually do have that covered. If you check out the main page of The Lost Village forum, we have a Tips and Tricks thread, unofficial rules thread, and beginners guide all pinned for convenience. ^-^@Rewan Demontay: Thanks for your feedback ^-^ I hate to sound like a broken record, but can you elaborate on what you'd like to see in terms of guidelines?1) A list of all possible roles and powers.
2) A rough schedule of what to expect when, such as night and day lenghts.
3) Principles to adhere to as to what to expect when prying and playing.
4) Maybe a basic gist of "how tos" and "what not dos"
5) Lastly, cookies for all!
