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.
