Well, we sure have made progress in terms of page count. And most of it seems quite fluffy, I really thought a fight broke out in this thread, but it seems not. Anyway, a few notes and thoughts on things that I don't recall being commented on yet.
I've noticed Michi has mentioned love and marriage, even between players, quite a few times in their posts, even where it doesn't seem particularly warranted. Could be flavor, but the first thing it makes me think of is the cupid role. Though I don't see what Michi would gain from hinting at it, especially before the first night when it is more helpful to town to kill a traditional cupid. Could be a more complicated role that that, or maybe the post restriction requires it. Or maybe I'm just totally off.
And the forum set-up has changed since I was last here, so I don't know how to copy quoted text over anymore so I'm just gonna link the post from ENE: https://wintreath.com/forums/index.php?topic=7514.msg165945#msg165945
It stands out to me that ENE says we would know and therefore lynch Lau for faking a no lynch as a wolf, because Lau could easily argue he got information but can't share it for strategy reasons and we would have no way to confirm one way or the other. It's just a bad line of logic and not one I could see anyone coming to unless they had an agenda helped by a no lynch.
Other misc. notes: I've like Ex's analysis so far, and generally struck me as a strong effort to learn and puzzle out information. Lau's no lynch policy is odd, but in between his analysis has been pretty good as well, so I'm neither here nor there with him. TGN has said alarmingly little besides voting and some memes, though it has been a while since I've played here so maybe their play style has evolved. Regardless, I find it weird that they only slip in here and there to meme, vote, and little else.
Also looking at the flavor at the start, we have character in London, same as the title of the game, which suggests London is our village. So maybe some of the player roles are actually based on the character's in the flavor? Otherwise I don't see the relevance of the story to the game thus far.
