I'm about to go back and look through posts for Filly and Rocky. Filly has seemed quite quiet, but I believe she stated her rotation was pretty time consuming.

I still have my mild feels for LIS, but nothing he has said in the last 2 days has been super suspicious to me, and I don't see my lynch vote going anywhere, so I will let it go for today.

Dammit. I must not be trying hard enough.

Reread p, it's not that I "don't want to play", I am trying my best to stay active (hence trying to avoid mod wrath since I feel like it'd be kinda crappy to purposely abandon, losing another villager number as well). But...how the heck am I "making" anyone do anything? [emoji848]

If you're a villager, then yes, we'd lose numbers, which would put the wolves closer to a win. But if we keep you around, and you don't participate, then there will be suspicion about whether you're a villager if you're not active and contributing. That, to me, is worse than just quitting the game because it diverts focus from finding wolves. All of this assumes you're a villager instead of a wolf though.

I think your comments make more sense though if you're a wolf. I need to go back and read more of your posts, but I might be changing my vote.

You addressed my thoughts much more eloquently. Thank you!

In re-reading Rocky's posts I don't know what to think. She has said nothing outright suspicious as far as I can tell, and her posts are all so normal they just blend in. If we are going back to the "wolves would not say anything crazy important to game play and accusing people" train of thought she would be a prime example.
On one hand, on D1 she did join in on the STL bandwagon, but did so before it was a done deal (prior to STL revealing).

I think that's what bothered me about her posts (can't even remember my own analysis...). Very bland, and her response to my suspicions was pretty much a shrug.

If she is skirting the modkill line that would make me less inclined to think she's a wolf but I don't know if she is or not.

I'm going to go back to lynch teep. Nothing in the past couple of day's posts has changed my feels, and there's been some weird posts in the past couple of days.

Particularly last lynch vote,

Normally, I wouldn't mind this, but your explanation today

makes it sound worse. In your initial lynch vote, you gave the most-commonly-cited reason for lynching AB, but your justification for checking (1dog? AB?) comments was from the most common reason of suspicion for 1dog. That's a really freaky chimera lynch justification, especially given it combines the most popular suspicions of others.
Click to expand...
That's a good catch. Very confusing. His initial post made sense, but his explanation today makes that post nonsensical - if he was looking at 1dog's posts because of the PM comments then why did he say his conclusions were in regard to AB in his post today?

I mean, I know it was 4am but if you're isolating posts it's not like their usernames are similar.
I think I've wolfed with teep before and then also modded when he was a wolf so I'm trying to think if this is a move he would make to try to make his lynch vote look better. At the moment it makes little sense to me for him to draw any attention to it, but again, wolves are paranoid about everything they do seeming wolfy, so sometimes they overcompensate.

Just got off work and was sad because I thought I missed lynch. Glad I didn't!

I am still re-reading, but I have to say I am less suspicious of BBC now because she appeared to not know FB was dead...although I have to say that would be a very clever wolf move. Still not totally ruling her out, but she is lower on my list of suspicions now.
 
I am going to Lynch LoTF

Based on previous posts of what she would or would not say as a wolf... to me, that is all irrelevant
And her later lynch of AB seemed..... off... to me...

I could be wrong, but this is what I am going with for now.
Will read back through teep's and rocky's posts in a bit too since those seem to be other suspicions that people have currently.

Last post....I just looked at who voted for the #2 vote getter yesterday. Although it is no sure thing...most wolf packs I have seen try too hard to save fellow Wolves early in the game so there could be someone in that group who is a wolf. Lo and behold...deva is there....makes me more comfortable with my vote. Not sure...just comfortable.

I think this is a really good point. I definitely don't think it's 100% by any means, but this is something to keep in mind. Out of the people who voted for 1dog, teep seems most suspicious to me. I see that multiple other people have already brought this up, but teep's lynch vote for 1dog was super weird because he basically justified it with reasons pertaining to AB, not 1dog. I'm not sure what to think about it yet.
 
Ok, I thought that the day ended. I deleted my post addressing Zen. I'll have to try and piece my thoughts back together.
 
Glammyre said:
Okay... Either deva took what we said to heart and suicided, or a vigilante took what we said to heart and can act during the day.
Click to expand...
I don't think it was a suicide, I don't think Deva would have done that. Pretty sure it was an assassin kill. I think quite a few of us were wrong about what all would be included in a basics game
 
**************
Uh...I have many questions for post game. was just getting off work and preparing to respond to people, but I guess I don't have to worry about participation level anymore. good luck village, and I'm sorry I wasn't much help!

Can you elaborate on this? I would think it would be odd to have an assassin that could kill during the day, but maybe not. Is this something that was present in other games? I agree that I don't think deva would've killed herself, though.

I'm still not convinced on 1dog, but as far as discussion goes, I think things were pretty thoroughly covered yesterday.

While catching up both BBC and Teep stood out to me.

BBC's early comments regarding noob wolves seemed like a thinly veiled effort to push lynch away from other noob players like herself. Not knowing that FB was dead even though she was one of the first people to post after night closed seems very strange.

I don't get Teep's weird lynch apology. It's the first time he has really stood out for me this game, though I know others have expressed concerns.
 
I believe it was Zen that had posted something earlier from an older basics type game that dy had run. As far as roles go we might want to expand it to those ones. I believe villager assassin was on that list.

I don't think all of those roles are included in here. Post restrictor was in dyachei's WW anesthesia game, but I've seen no evidence of it here.
 
Glammyre said:
My first game... brings back memories 😀. I'll happily scan through the thread for info.

Hard to tell what each role was since thematic role names were released on death instead of action. Here's what I got from skimming. Player name and role names are set, role actions are my best guess.
27 players at start
FS -> student with propofol -> villager blocker
LIS -> student with ultrasound -> villager seer?
Conflagration -> student with euthasol -> villager assassin
Me -> student with glycopyrrolate -> 1x resurrector
STL -> student with isoflurane -> force post restrictions?
Rojo -> student with warming blanket -> protector

Wolves had 2 conversions and 4 full wolves. I don't know which among them had special powers.
TP -> pulmonary thromboembolism
OG -> ventricular fibrillation
Cyndia -> drug overdose
Orca -> aortic dissection
Krist -> vet student converted to gunner
FFM -> student with carrell all-in-one (no idea what he did originally) converted to teaching assistant

Relevant post quoted above, it was already further back than I remember it being.

Yeah, I would agree with that one. I also think that a rezzer seems unlikely at this point too, though couldn't totally be ruled out.

Village blocker would be interesting. If we think that FB's failure to protect WTF was due to a wolf blocker, I guess I could see a villager counterpart existing.
 
Glammyre said:

Agreed, there have been no obvious post restrictions and no obvious "people who have been silenced" (sorry in quotes because I couldn't think of a 1 word name for that.) Nobody has said that they have been blocked so I'm assuming no blockers. No items called out. No obvious PMing between anybody so nobody seems to be able to do that. No injuries. No healing.

At this point this list is getting a bit silly, but the only evidence I have seen of any role has been when they get dead and their role is announced.
 
Zen, I'm a girl remember? 😛

I'm in sort of the same boat as Deva with the fact that I really did think this game being slower would work with my schedule. I also feel guilty for my bland participation. I should've just started my hiatus and not been tempted! You won't find a wolf lynching me but if you want me out of the way, that's cool too of course. If not, I'll figure out a way to keep chiming. If I do die, I can say I learned quite a lot from this game that I can use in the future!
 
I guess I take that back. If Deva wasn't a mod kill, than I have officially seen my first evidence of a role beyond what is listed in the write ups.

I guess if PMs are only open for wolves at night, than maybe villagers can only submit actions in the day?

Sorry, that should have said "If wolves can only PM and submit actions at night, maybe the villagers are the counterpart and can only submit actions in the day."

I'd be surprised if it was a regular thing. Here's a selection from WTF's post where she outed STL (bolding is mine)

STL is FOS. I'm the villager seer. I seered him last night, and he is the wolf seer.
