Okay, so this is interesting for sure. This is the second time you've mentioned faction being a concern to you. Hmoo stated in her question that the one faction we know of doesn't kill. I also noted that we have only had one kill a night, which points to the typical wolf faction is the most dangerous. Why are you simply faction hunting instead of wolf hunting?
why-not-both-mexican-girl-why-not-both.jpg

I'm non-villager hunting. If there's a clue that leads to wolfiness, great. If there's a clue that leads to non-villager alignment, also great.

Wolves are almost certainly not the only harmful faction out there, and I have no idea what the other's wincons might be. I can believe Dr. Horrible and maybe Moist being OK for the village, but not other villains (Bait, Evil Bowie).

Actually, scratch that on Moist. He advocated killing a little kid and smothering an old lady.

This harkens back to what Dy said some game in which we got a wolf. Wolves like to appear village by chaos hunting. feels similar here.

What do you think of FS and ny?

FS is a lurker and doesn't normally post much. If I didn't just play with him as a wolf last game, I'd be more wary right now but I feel like he's been contributing more substance than last game.

I'm not happy with ny peacing out to play Splatoon or whatever it was, and I raged plenty against FH back in the day for the same thing, but this rarely nets a wolf. I don't think it's hard to post more than twice in this length of time, but that's me being mad at the principle of it, not thinking she's a wolf.

Blog readers, there is a matter I'd like to discuss with you today. Politics.

No, no, don't groan, don't navigate to a different page - this is important. We're nearing the end of summer, and election time will be upon us sooner than you think. There will be several open positions in City Hall this year. Actually, after today, there's a new vacancy. And that's what I want to talk about.

I love being a villain, but I don't know, something about murder makes me feel queasy. I'll do it if that's what it takes - but anyway, this isn't about me. This is about what happened outside of a restaurant downtown today.

A mob formed on the street outside the Little Fishy sushi place. (Great spring rolls - 10/10 recommend) I happened to be nearby, doing some field tests, and I saw the whole thing happen. The Deputy Mayor left the restaurant. The mob approached, yelling something about "down with corruption!" and "kill the wolves!". Someone started singing:

♫It’s a brand new day
And the sun is high
All the birds are singing
That you’re gonna die
How I hesitated
Now I wonder why
It’s a brand new day♫

And then - well, the mob did what mobs do. They crushed him.

There's a finesse to these things, people! Murder should be intricate. It should involve sophisticated technology, careful planning. It shouldn't be a crowd of people accosting a civil servant after sushi.

Not cool, guys. Not cool.

Dead is @kcoughli;

The Deputy Mayor, who would inherit the Mayor's perks upon their death

Is there a reason I should be searching for wolves specifically and prioritize them among the factions?

I'm out to lynch non-villagers. If they're wolves, great. If all I suspect is non-villager alignment, also OK - they might be wolves, or they might just be a group with a different wincon. Either way, they don't share mine, so they can go.

I don't think I said I specifically thought LIS/DDS/nihoka are wolves, supervillains, or some weird third group. Is there a reason why I would care which one, as long as it's not mine?

Off to bed for now; I need to sleep. Talk more once I'm off work tomorrow?

Cuz they be the ones that are killing us? I kind of don't like faction games because, yes, if they have a win condition it is usually be the biggest one left so villagers lose out, but I will always prioritize killing the wolves first. Or at least down to the last one before hitting on non village.

speaking of which, hmoo, it is cliche but it is nice to know how many wolves there are in a game. Others can chime in if they don't feel that is necessary though.

My only hesitation is that it's a little harder to nail that question with a yes/no restriction.

It might be nice to know if there is a conversion option, or if the factions can recruit members.

Oh yeah. Forgot it is yes or no. That puts a nice little twist on it. I am gonna watch GoT now. See KC??? That is what you do! Wait til after lynch to view all consuming shows. lol

What do you think the most likely number of wolves in a game this size would be? I could ask "are there more than 3 wolves" or something.. or I could ask if the wolves have a conversion available
 
I think my personal vote would be to know if either of the non-village factions can recruit additional members.

(ETA: there's no way we're dealing with more than 3 factions, correct?)

I haven't seen the show, but I did some googling and there could be superheroes as well, I think.

I think we are dealing with at least 4 (including villagers as a faction).

Can't add much more. I'm sitting at a campfire celebrating my birthday in northern MN.

I did think Zen's post was weird (specifically the part that asked if there was a reason to care about who he was hunting). Since the obvious answer is "duh, you should care about who is killing us."

I probs will vote for Zen tomorrow.

In fact,

Seems someone was in quite the Hammer groupie mood

From the Laundromat

Bad Horse, Bad Horse,
Bad Horse, Bad Horse
He rides across the nation, the Thoroughbred of Sin,
Causing terror, havoc, mayhem everywhere he’s been!
This town, he looks around, and smiles an equine grin:
The panic here, the stench of fear,
The tales that reek of stool of steer.

Bad Horse, Bad Horse,
Bad Horse, he’s bad!
His paperwork’s important, he keeps a weather eye
On promising young colts and fillies trying to survive.
A couple stars may well go far and win the first-place prize:
Un-stable plans now reinforced
With jockeys new,
Signed Bad Horse


Quite the original piece and it's a sing-along too

From Dr. Horrible's Lab
This is a haiku
Specially from me to you
refrigerator.

this song is horrible
hope you think its adorable
hey hey hey hey

Strategy
Wolfies workin against me
Oh strategy
The canids want to bring us down
Oh twice as much
Ain't twice as good
When you've got more groups
Than one game should
It's lynching more that's gonna send us to our graaaves

Seems this group wanted to stay mostly on topic. Guess there's creativity in that

From the Homeless Shelter
The names Dr. Horrible
I'm really not a bore
I personify deplorable
But mostly I just score

The ladies, they all love me
They like my evil songs
I show them what they want to see
And then I smoke my bong

The only thing I know for sure is that I love to bang
And even if they want to stay I tell them they can't hang

Actually, I think I might be mixing this show for the other
Because all I know of Neil Patrick Harris is from How I Met Your Mother

Definitely an original piece with some creativity

It appears we have a late entry. It unfortunately won't be considered for the pize and it seems to have an eerie beat
From the Cemetary
"Look away, look away
Look away, look away

This game will wreck your evening, your whole life and your day
Every single lynch you make brings nothing but dismay

So look away, look away, look away

A doctor's short a cent and goes to join the league of evil
He has to murder someone since his last attempt was feeble
It's really up to you happens next, we can't delay it
But what decent person like yourself would even want to play it?

Just look away, look away

There's nothing but hammers and horribleness on the way
Ask any stable person "should I play" and they will say

Look away, look away
Look away, look away"

I'm sure you're all wondering who the winner is. Well after some consulting, we the mods have decided the winner is...

The Cemetary
I suppose only the living can truly win though. The prize goes to...
The Laundromat

Thank you to all our participants. Your group pms are now closed. Prizes for the winner will be handed out soon.

Now while all this was going on last night, it seems MJ decided to rewire his house. He thought he had turned off the electricity but upon starting his project he was electrocuted and died. Maybe someone had turned the electricity back on right as he started his work or maybe it was an accident. Such an unintentional death

I demand a recount! :rage: :p

Also woah. Been a while since MJ was night killed. If the groupies are village then I'm leaning more towards C. Hammer being village too, simply because I have no idea who would be grouped with him otherwise.

Although that being said I did just have the thought that the "accidental" deaths could be playing on how he accidentally killed Penny in the show.

Does anyone outside of LIS and nohika have evidence we are dealing with more than 3 factions? Because I feel like the numbers just aren't adding up, unless the other factions are like 1 person each. And I'm wondering if we're being sent on a bit of a wild goose chase.
