The Wolf Game

Now that we're done, II suppose the question now is... who do you think was behind each GM mask?

Neat, different people?

If one of them was an Ozymandias cameo, that'd be pretty cool. I'm guessing Okaros was the Lazy GM, though.

Admetus

Good game. Ah, well. Moral victories, worth little!

Admetus

My hesitation about 7-Zark-7 is that post sphenodont conversion 7-Zark-7 voted on him. Now yesterday was kind of a no-brainer and something he has to do if he's the last wolf, but why vote on him on Day N+6. That vote was no threat, and everyone knew the seer had to be lynched if he was around too ...

Admetus

Okay -- I did a brief re-read of the last section of the game here If it's RaveBomb, I don't know that I can do anything to figure that out. If it is him, though, he could miss a maul and we'd get a free lynch. So if tomorrow we've lynched a human and not lost, lynch RaveBomb. Visigoth and Zark both...

Admetus

One left out of four, and no maul. I could see the no maul having been a deliberate choice. It's also compatible with the RaveBomb of not really playing.

Admetus

Super sorry about missing the vote yesterday. I was waiting for some more info -- especially from sphenodont -- and I just forgot to check in before I left for the night. If the wolves didn't maul sphenodont and also didn't convert him, that is the ballsiest play ever. That means sphenodont is reeee...

Admetus

I'd like to see a game where you don't think I'm a wolf. That'd sure be a change of pace. Pretty much always wrong about it, also.

Admetus

I think Zark's a suspect for "dudes who would prioritize FCM for conversion" as well as "dudes who would convert FCM first because she was mauled first just recently."

#Vote for: 7-zark-7

Aldax is also fine with me as a candidate.

Admetus

sphenodont wrote:That said, I seered DOM as human last night.

Do with that what you will.

Didn't you tell us yesterday that you were planning to seer Aldax?

Admetus

I don't think there was a conversion yesterday. We would be at lynch or lose if there had been I think. I'm not sure what the mechanics are, even reverse engineering it. Yesterday we had 9, and lynch-or-lose. So, 4 wolves? And lynching a human makes it 4:4 even with no conversion. Today we have 8, ...

That's really funny, wolf convert #1.

The Fairy Catmother

I'm assuming that's an official claim?

#Vote for: FCM

Admetus

So we're still just guessing on who might be picked -- not having a hint on who's doing the picking -- and that's if it's a conversion game after all.

I think Visigoth might be the most popular answer, so I guess I'll go with it.

#Vote for: Visigoth

Admetus

I guess that's probably the lynch or lose warning.

Admetus

Nothing annoys a rampant AI more than lack of input.

#Vote for: No Lynch

Admetus

Yes, Omega is on the list of players right now. Seems pretty ballsy, and the only other time that happened was when Ionitor wanted us to lynch him as GM, so...

#Vote for: Omega

Admetus

Holy crap the singletons.

New day, new GM... fewer specials perhaps?

I'm going JRS.

#Vote for: Jrsthethird

rekard - 2 - sphenodont, Visigoth
Jrsthethird - 2 - Aldax, Admetus
7-zark-7 - DastardlyOldMan
Omega - Jrsthethird
Ryvvn - rekard
Aldax - RaveBomb
sphenodont - The Fairy Catmother
Clearasday - 7-zark-7

Admetus

Current vote tally. Gotta be helpful, yaknow.

A wolf - DastarlyOldMan, The Fairy Catmother, Admetus, RaveBomb, Aldax, dferrantino
The Fairy Catmother - Ryvvn
Omega - Jrsthethird

Admetus

There's no way this will backfire!

#Vote for: a wolf

Admetus

Wow, rekard. That's like, the wolfiest possible post.

#Vote for: rekard

RaveBomb wrote:Biggest question is, am I wolf with a gun?

Mostly I'd guess not, because the Lazy GM said:

Wolves may not have another role.

But then again, who knows? Nobody's stopping me from posting from the dead.

Admetus

Okay, sir, you have convinced me. I'll stop voting for you and vote for DOM instead.

#Vote for: DastardlyOldMan

Admetus

Agreed, RaveBomb's got something. If it's not wolf, it shouldn't be too hard to back off from a claim.

#Vote for: RaveBomb

(Retracted post-mortem!)

Admetus

Singletons the first 6 votes, DOM votes against the spread, revenge vote, second vote, second vote (now four wagons), third vote, defense vote. Everything pretty much as expected. Wolves usually expected in the late second-vote stage, or hidden among the early singletons. Picking RaveBomb here for p...

Admetus

Something's wrong on this ship! Let's all gang up on someone and bring them to the bridge! Where the wrong things are going on! It's not too late to make it a party! I say we bring both Carrot Top and Jrsthethird . Let's see who else is going: rekard - The Fairy Catmother Ryvvn - dferrantino dferran...

Admetus

I'm still checking in. I definitely have lower availability than I once did, but I can play.

Admetus

"Container ship flexing in rough weather" was on the front page of reddit. Hopefully you didn't witness any of this, DOM. Quite bendy!

Admetus

Merry holidays, and happy new year!

Admetus

Nice. I'm glad to hear the adventures continue apace.

Admetus

We didn't have a ton of time, really. The weekend was way overloaded, so we only got to visit for a few hours Saturday and Sunday. It was fun, though -- we crammed as many new games in as we could in the time we had.

Admetus

So, PAX Unplugged this weekend. I'm off work tomorrow (Friday), so I'll be there most of the day. I have dress rehearsals for our two concerts this weekend, though, so outside of Friday morning/afternoon, I'll only be around a little bit here and there Saturday and Sunday. If anyone wants to grab a ...

Admetus

If that flat strategy fails, then either the VP will get his karmic justice, or a new savior of the techies will have arisen to management. We can hope, I mean!

Admetus

It's been a while between signup and start. Maybe make Day 1 last longer than usual, or send an email notice, or something for people who might not be checking in on time?

Admetus

Admetus

Sorry to hear that. A friend of mine had a marriage blow up for similar reasons, a number of years ago. It doesn't seem to me that he's over it yet. I hope the fallout doesn't catch too many people, when it eventually breaks.

Admetus

Admetus

Ah, at this point I forgot he'd done it earlier. I just remembered the one after rekard's shot.

Admetus

Why clear Meta4, DOM?

Admetus

Knowing how you operate, rekard, I wouldn't be surprised at all if you waited for some input from Ryvvn and FCM, then you shot me.

Admetus

Eh, it's a claim from where I'm sitting. Did re-read. Not a lot of conclusions. The format is hard. I think it's time for me to take a shot, though. Ryvvn 7-zark-7 (mauled) DastardlyOldMan Jrsthethird (shot) rekard (human vigilante) Simple_Simon (shot) Aldax (lynched)...

Admetus

So by processes of elimination, only 2 people have not shot. Admetus and me. To avoid wasted shots on me, I am the vigilante and human. In this game, the vigilante is human according to the rules. This can be easily tested with Admetus shooting a new target. Once he shoots, his target won't die whi...

Admetus

Heh, we went from a system where you sort of veto a lynch candidate to a system where you propose and second and that's it.

Admetus

Apologies for the slowdown. I'll submit for the courts a vouch for Jrsthethird. I haven't found many people I'd be willing to say are human leans, but I think maybe JRS and FCM (and DOM who's already safe). I expect I'm biased towards FCM because she gave me the nod yesterday, so I'll just pick JRS....

Admetus

It's been rare, if ever, I vote against someone who was an early death last game! Proxy vote: Jrsthethird (if Rave's proxy stands) You already voted, Ryvvn. I don't think this works. It's an odd situation. The vote will drop to JRS, right? But he only has Aldax to select. What to do, sphenodont?

Admetus

I'm going to pass it back to Meta4. That might reduce any remaining confusion.

#Vote for: Meta4

Admetus

That just makes the person randomly selected after Ryvvn into the next Ryvvn (as in: voting but not safe).

Admetus

OK - trying to wrap my head around the mechanic / strategy a bit. If we leave only the suspicious people until the end (by voting out the innocent people early), then we're giving the final lynch vote to the suspicious people. I think that gives us more information on them, but effectively, the 3rd...

Admetus

Oh man. I just realized this is going to be like picking teams in grade school. Someone's going to be last and it's going to be increasingly awkward.

Admetus

Ryvvn wrote:Well, at least I know I'll survive Day 1

Is that really how it works? I interpreted it as you being the first one to save someone, not the first one who was safe. It raises the question of what happens when you get nominated, and you've already taken your pick.

Admetus

Just a partial one. Lots of people out and about with cereal box camera obscura, sharing glasses etc.
