i'm baffled as to how anyone is reading anyone at this stage. do y'all have roles?
Well I’ve made it to the land of SAMAC, has this thing like actually started yet
im a bit confused, have we officially started?
Rip I didn’t know game started. In studying hell but depressed about it 🤡
Favorite spooky movie 🤔
Probably Ghostbusters
My role PM was essentially nothing so I've got nothing
Clearly, this game presents an awkward beginning. I think most of us have experienced that in some form or another.
A plausible interpretation is that the only concrete information players received (apart perhaps from role abilities) is whether or not they're in a wolf chat. I've been operating under that assumption, because it's hard for me to see how the game is playable otherwise. I doubt it's entirely
that simple, but it's a starting point. However, this comes with some implications:
- I'd imagine that [ambiguous role card] is not just a town phenomenon. That would stand too high a risk of breaking the game, and our host is a major veteran of the job. So the wolves likely have some analogous experience too, and thus some genuine confusion (even if they are already in a wolf chat).
Given the air of confusion in the thread then, I think the wolves would feel extra incentive to
participate in that commentary. I extracted the quotes above entirely by searching for the words "start" (i.e.,
has the game actually started) and "role" (i.e.,
what is this role card). This is probably not exhaustive as a result, because the search will only catch so much.
I suspect there's an above-average wolf presence among these posts. I'm sure there are villagers too. Even two wolves would be "above average".
