The Wolf Game

Glad to see some activity bubbling up around here again, unfortunately I’m gonna sit this one out, and probably won’t be joining anything until early April (after seasonal work winds down and when I return from my PAX East trip).

Sorry all, this just isn’t enough for what I had in mind; only really just enough for a one wolf, purely vanilla game, but meh... I’ll try this again sometime down the road when hopefully we have a little more activity going on around here.

Create a post on GESC, should alert enough people to check their spam at least... Is that an Ars thing? I’ve never been a part of Ars, just here. If you or someone else wants to make that post, feel free, but the latest I could start this game would be Tuesday, my time becomes limited again startin...

Sigh. I think between the emails being borked and likely marked as spam for many users, and folks just not checking the boards as frequently as they used to, many potential players just don’t even know about this game signup. Unless I get a sudden burst of signups tomorrow, I won’t have enough to ru...

Yeah, FCM also confirms it consistently happening despite marking as non-spam.

At the beginning of 2018 I asked for a roll call of who was still actively interested in playing and/or GMing because participation among registered users has precipitously dropped since 2017. I'd like this thread to be an official and (hopefully) continually updated list. This may help prospective ...

2019 signups open! Please help keep this community alive by offering to run a game if you'll have time this year!

Reminder on the reminder emails, if you are opted in and haven’t been seeing them, my own mail client seems to randomly and repeatedly decide to start marking TWG emails as spam despite my continually reflagging as not spam.

Here’s a new game.

Start date next Monday, January 7th.

Details are to come... secrets are to be uncovered.

P.S. I think the game count got screwed up somewhere, so I’m just dropping the number.

Thanks for this game rekard!

Oh boy, it’s been a looong time since I had to do any behind the scenes stuff here, and I don’t want to admit how long it took me to refigure this stuff out, but I believe I properly opened up the game threads on rekard’s behalf as well as removed everyone from the game groups. If something seems wr...

Thanks.

A little bittersweet since I felt we could have wrapped this whole thing up days ago; considering the holiday, I feel Omega should have just spoken up and voted immediately, but glad we won regardless.

Yes indeed, merry christmas ya filthy animals!

An odd choice given the uncertain EoD format, folks not guaranteed to check back, two other votes already placed, and me stating I would

barring you giving reason not to.

Player count has been updated, only Zark and I lost lives, GA should definitely come forward and declare who they protected. I’ve been awarded a vig shot and unless the GA tells me otherwise, I’m ready to vote and shoot spheno today.

Waiting for player list lives to be updated to see if and where the maul struck, since neither I nor Zark died, it’s possible the GA (assumed to be Omega) succesfully blocked the maul in which cause maybe he can confirm another human. Edit: Oh duh it clearly missed since there would either be a dead...

Anyone who thinks they’re simply going to get a power reveal tomorrow isn’t seeing the game state clearly! If anyone but the wolf gets voted today, the wolf will probably be aiming to kill off that person tonight and hope to be awarded at least one vig shot. Look at the rewards offered: Two vig shot...

Aldax, slight misunderstanding of my power in your write-up: whichever I use (life or vig) gets used up and the other half goes random. I used up my vig, you randomly got the life, my power is all done and there’ll be no further effects from it.

Regardless of my power, whether he’s right or wrong, why would I confirm or deny, pray tell? What’s the point of this argument? I’m not saying you would or should, I’m saying that he is claiming to be a power seer and the odds of humans having both seers seems highly unlikely to me. You’d either se...

sphenodont wrote:What are the odds that I'm both a seer and a vig?

I would need to be both, if I was the one who killed Jrs last night.

Or, ya know, awarded a vig, which is a thing in this game.

Dude, he’s claiming power seer, which based on him calling your action and you not rebuking means that is his power in which case, DUDE, what are the chances humans have a faction seer AND a power seer?!

I'm still trying to figure things out. We have one confirmed human and by the math one wolf left. I just can't place my finger on who the wolf is. You know what they say, if you look around the room and can’t find the fool, it’s probably because you’re the wolf. Your statement reads like a hesitant...

Hello?

#Vote for: sphenodont

I shot Admetus. And it looks like Aldax received the extra life: 7-Zark-7 - 2 lives Admetus - dead Aldax - 2 lives Fairy Catmother - dead Jrsthethird - dead Omega - 2 lives Rictus - dead Ryvvn - 2 lives sphenodont - 2 lives 5 players alive and no GM warning, so I’m assuming only one wolf remains. Th...

Aldax did not give me a life last night, there is a Doctor player who assisted me. I assume their power was to heal a life. Would you believe me if I said it was me? No. What would be in it for you, as a wolf, to keep the known seer alive? GA can’t protect someone with 2 lives. But we went with maj...

Aldax did not give me a life last night, there is a Doctor player who assisted me. I assume their power was to heal a life. Personal preference would be for you peek at Spheno tonight and then maybe Aldax tomorrow depending on if your life count increases even further (seeing as Aldax has claimed h...

Admetus, is it standard for a psycho to win alongside humans? In my experiences it is not, and without deliberate clarification by the GM stating otherwise, you are to be treated as antagonsitic to my win condition and any arguments you might make are to be summarily ignored. If you want to simply d...

Last post in this thought chain, sorry for the wall everyone! I had to go back to the player signup list to find this because the psycho win condition is not in the rules post: The psycho killer wins when he is part of the last 3-4 and is alive by the end of the next day. Also, this is in the rules ...

the player roster includes life count and has been updated to be current. Ohh, duh, also JRS has been updated to now be at 2 lives, so it is likely Aldax did give JRS the extra life. I am safe to vig Admetus, which after reviewing my power (and once again the order of ops*) doesn’t actually grant a...

I kind of see some logic in keeping the Psycho Killer alive, in that he can help whittle down potential wolves and help identify some of the powers out there. At the same time, if no one gives Admetus an extra life, he'll be easy to get rid of when we need to prevent the Psycho win. But he doesn’t ...

Actually I should just vig the psycho, because my vig would fire before the psycho kill fires, otherwise I just leave the door open for the wolves & psycho to remove the seer tonight and have wasted my power (as well as arming someone random with a vig shot). Aldax, time to put your humanity wh...

Aldax wrote:It probably means that there's a player with 3 lives

Not sure about that since the player roster includes life count and has been updated to be current.

Can this be updated along with each day start please and thank you.

#Vote for: Rictus

Everyone who’s not Rictus or Admetus: Do I use my vig tonight to elimate the psycho or grant a life to keep our seer kicking for one more vision?

I think the GA should protect JRS tonight. It’s likely the GA is following standard rules regarding no back-to-back protection, and also likely they would have protected themselves the first night in case of an unfortunate double-targeting* by wolves and psycho. So, unless the psycho and wolves both...

JRS, there’s no locking in a seer vote, you’d be submitting that via PM and should be able to change up to any point prior to day lock, so don’t wait for feedback on whom to seer, select immediately to avoid the common “forgot to seer” issue, and change later if you deem it necessary.

In case I wasn’t clear and caused confusion, I only have one power but it’s a split effect: I can either give (heal) or take (vig) a life, but whichever effect I choose to use means i’ve spent up my power usage and someone else will be randomly granted the ability to use my unselected effect. I’m fi...

Based on role reveals and the unlikely chance that the humans would have a simple one-life gifter when there’s a GA and my own life gift ability has an associated cost, and it being extremely unlikely this particular power reveal would be the GA cover, I have to go with

#Vote for: Aldax

again today.

Can we lose more than one life per day? Between Aldax’s power and the GA, you could string me along for a couple more days to get extra looks. True. I took a harder look at the rules and noticed the only mention of a cover role is for the GA, nothing about covers for wolves. So I guess the question...

Assuming the seer role would be given to a human player (unless it’s a power, not faction, seer or a possible cover role), I’d say JRS is likely doomed tonight, so may want to share his lone peek. Also, FCM’s power sounds human as well, otherwise a wolf simply gives it to a wolf and, well, ouch for ...

to help secure self-preservation.

Since I’m not a wolf, does it make sense that if I lose half my life to the vote then the wolves will surely maul me to fully eliminate a player? If that seems the most likely scenario, then I might as well preemptively reveal my power and hope those piling on me see the potential value: I can give ...

Omega wrote:Why is my name italicized...

Assuming the inquiry is just fluff to place a vote, but I pulled the list from the signup thread, though rekard had neglected to add you and FCM to the list after your “ins”

How you doin, [#vote]Zark[/#vote]?

Looks like someone left the guestbook outside in the rain, I’ve literally put myself out there to go retrieve it... looks like the dog may have gotten to it as well, as the bottom of the list appeared to be missing: 7-Zark-7 Ryvvn Admetus Rictus Jrsthethird Aldax sphenodont Omega The Fairy Catmother

My wish already came true, I see Omega is here.

Are the emails still being sent out for new game signups? I haven’t actually seen one in a long while, but then every so often my email decides twg is spam again and I have to notice and mark it as not each time this happens.
