DRoP the WW sign ups and game thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Yeah, now I see that... But it was looking like another one of those where a bunch were gonna pile on and run... had to do something. I thought.

I'm just gonna make a theme of being wrong today.
You should have faith that your back was being watched. 😉
 
Ooo... too bad you didn't see the tide turning in your favor before you said that. Sorry to add to your anxiety. I only picked you because I wanted to shift weight away from the AM bandwagon. It was going to be my final answer. Which is still Jillary, because... well, we need some victim, and I wanna keep you, Kata, and AM, for now.
Congrats. You just took out a for real important role.

23/25
Missing @Jilary , @LetItSnow

Deadline 9PM CST/10PM EST
 
Well, that is most unfortunate. But then again, we may not have had a single wolf up for lynch. Again, I'm not so sure that there were many to start with.

I'm pretty confident that at least some useful villagers survived the lynch, but those with revealed or hinted at roles are at high risk tonight. Hope that we have enough defensive roles to cover everyone who needs it.
 
A death in Telgar Hold, and of such a prominent and important person, and Pern wanted justice! Killers were on the loose and they must be stopped. Questions were asked, theories were concocted, fights broke out, and it seemed Pern was in turmoil. Finally they decided someone in Tillek Hold had to be working with the killer! Names were put forth, and eventually Animal Midwife was singled out. She tried to protest, exclaiming that she was but a useful villager, and sounded convincing. But who else could it be?! LotF was put forth and dismissed, katashark was considered briefly. But then it was decided that Jilary had to go. She wasn't contributing enough and giving off the wolfy-vibes. Which is really quite unfortunate as Jilary was a very friendly face indeed, sharing a glass of quality Benden wine on a nightly basis.

You have lynched Jilary - Master Harper Robinton, who could share a few glasses of wine with someone each night to learn their true name.

It is now Night 3. Deadline is 6AM CST/7AM EST.

(I would highly highly highly prefer it if you could get your night actions in tonight, making my morning slightly less chaotic.)

Oh dear. You guys should now know that in the last minute lynches of these days, my choices appear to be complete ****. lol

Indeed.

You even referenced how you managed to get Katniss killed, and I was Katniss, and I still piled on with you.

I'd feel more foolish except that I didn't see any great candidates. Everyone had someone ready to speak for them or had something plausible to say for themselves. I wasn't happy about Jilary, but I wasn't happy with any of our options. I hate that we have to lynch someone every day, because it inevitably is going to lead to some innocents going down for unfortunate reasons.

yup. I made the mistake of thinking Jil would come say something in the time I had allotted. I appear to be excellent in finding people who have random life events that prevent them from checking in.
 
Well, a role name seer is important, but at least she wasn't an affiliation seerer.

Sorry Jil; none of the options were great 🙁 .

The true name would likely lead to the thought that some people have cover roles though.
 
Welp

Need to read back over to decide who is more to blame for that cluster**** - people who waited too long to place their votes, or people who didn't check in earlier to defend themselves, therefore pushing the hop off one bandwagon and onto another later into the cycle :thinking:
 
:laugh:

Fair enough! Like I said, it's just feels, and minor ones at that. I'm not trying to imply that everyone who has tithed is a wolf and everyone who hasn't tithed is innocent, or course. I'm just thinking out loud.

The second thing you said is actually kind of what I'm saying, though. Just phrased better.

So. Having said that if I were a wolf I'd volunteer to tithe and then retract it .... I probably wouldn't (upon reconsideration). When I'm a wolf, I try to play as 100% honestly as I can. Too risky not to, unless it's some major end-game move, or unless the risk is super worth it. But telling your group you'll tithe and then not? At this point in the game? That'd be a dumb risk.

So I kinda take back what I said. 🙂
 
Why so sure that blocking is wolfy? Blocking can also be protective. It all depends on who is wielding it right?

That Thread shutter thing sounds like a protective measure to me, for instance. It seemed to keep out the ability thief, which sounds like a positive thing to me. And if Thread had been coming down, that could be a great thing.

I'm actually reasonably confident that the blocking is not wolfy.

I think.
 
Anything specific you can point to? I'm seeing that she hasnt posted much on the thread and I'm not entirely against lynching quiet players but i feel like we hardly ever find wolves in that group.

A lot of people seem to have faith in your assessment, but there doesn't seem to be much substance. Care to elaborate?

@PrincessButterCup How strong were those feels? AM is talking now and I think might be worth saving tonight.

I'm also not loving the LotF lynch, but I'm don't want to take out Kata either. Jillary might be a good choice...

Sorry guys, I was at work helping with an euth and I wasn't around to see the lynch go crazy.

My AM vote was based on really, really light feels - if we're looking for a wolf in my hold, she was the person who seemed the most promising. That's not really saying much. It's also possible there is no wolf in my group and the ability thief counted on the 1/6 chance of stealing from someone who wasn't tithing. I'm not totally convinced by her reply on the thread - she's played enough games to not pull the 'I'm so confused!' card. Her potential role sounds likely, so I think it's worth keeping her around and not voting her way tomorrow.
 
Still no thread in the skies, for which the Pernese were both grateful and annoyed. Grumble grumble wasted tithes. The night was full of more than just grumbles however, as mischeif was managed, items were created, and dragons were brutally murdered. That's right, in the dead of night, asleep on his stone couch, a great bronze dragon of Pern was strangled. His poor rider is inconsolable.

Dead is dyachei: Salth - bronze dragon, who could PM with his partner. (Villager)

It is now Day 3, Lynch deadline is 8PM CST/7PM EST.

@Mad Jack , how are the Telgar chats going? I have funny feels about your Hold.
Nothing particularly unusual. Did get a message for the entire group "Gwen- I am a blocker and tithed N1 and N3" (might be paraphrasing a bit with that one). Everyone in my Hold has been eying each other suspiciously for a bit, given the number of attempts on our lives. But there was nothing exchanged in the group chat that would seem to have lead to so many attacks, and we can't PM with one another, so it's not like there's much opportunity for a wolf to be rooting out useful roles and killing them without all the rest of us having seen them do so.

We received that same message in Southern. I am wondering if dy was chosen because someone knew she was a dragon, or if they wanted to take out a loud voice.

Wait, someone is telegraphing to entire holds what their ability is? Why?
 
Unfortunately, my 3 year primary care track program means that I'm in class all summer. Boo. I have obligations until 7ish. I will be around for the lynchfest this evening.

I'm not leaving a contingency vote because I don't want to accidentally start any bandwagons when I'm not around to participate. Also, I'd prefer not to change my vote 3 times today. Planning to wait until my feels get strong enough to commit and then vote definitively.
 
Don't have much to go on, but I'd like to get things started so we don't end up lynching our seer at 8:45 again. Just picking from the group I don't have a reason not to suspect, and knowing he's a sneaky mother****er when he wants to be, Lynch SOV. Open to waffles.
 
I also want to get discussion started so I am going to lynch hmoo for the time being. I'm still suspicious of PBC's hold, and hazel was really the only one without some pressure on them yesterday. Definitely open to waffling, though.

Definitely open to continuing exploring PBCs Hold. With the expectation of waffles and a hunger for scrambled eggs:

Lynch hmoo
 
I'm not sure if I'm on board with voting for her quite yet, but I also certainly wouldn't mind hearing some more from Hmoo. It sounds like we may have reason reason to be suspicious of that hold in general, so it's probably a good idea to put some pressure there.
 
Hmoo joined the game after roles were assigned---doesn't definitively mean she's not a wolf, but it does seem less likely to me that KC would want to throw off the balance of her game by adding an additional wolf one night in.

Ooh, I didn't realize she'd joined late. If that's the case, then, yeah, I don't think she is terribly likely to be a wolf for the reason you've stated. Not impossible, but probably not likely...
 
Blah. I don't like losing a dragon. It hurts me to my core and my heart wants to lash out and kill someone who would be so cruel.
So does it work the same way as when a rider dies and their dragon also dies? Or is the rider ok if the dragon dies?

@Mad Jack , how are the Telgar chats going? I have funny feels about your Hold.
It does seem odd that we were targeted twice but to me the chats have seemed fine. Mostly MJ and Kam chatting. I don't often find i have much to say in a group chat that i wouldn't rather say on the thread. i think guis has also been quiet but that is possibly just because her posts haven't stood out in my mind due to the avatar change.

I could go that way but I'll need to reread some things first. I just remember thinking he wouldn't be a bad candidate last night.

Agree with this
It doesnt 100% clear her but i think it makes her pretty low priority at this point.
 
Yeah, I totally forgot that hmoo joined late. Unlynch hmoo

I will think some more and come back with a different vote later
 
Only have a few minutes so...

lynch kam

Only because I posted in our hold PM that I had a hell schedule today, so it is possible that a wolf in our hold passed on that info, and then they tried to make an easy target out of someone who couldn't defend themselves. Not that getting rid of me is some sort of huge wolf goal, but maybe I was easy pickins. I have barely played with Kam, and been hardly mentioned so far, so it just seems odd that I get an early lynch vote when I won't be around much.

Y'all can discuss this for what it is worth.

riders can live without their dragons. Just not very happily.

The rider might die. At the least they tend to get very depressed and even withdraw from society and reality. I don't remember right this minute but I thought there was a name for grieving riders. There are very few riders that recover enough to be useful. I don't remember this either, but I think I remember something about trying to Impress a new dragon onto the rider to help with recovery, but I don't remember if that was a thing they did on purpose or if it was a failed experiment during a Fall when they needed more in the air.
 
I will take the hmoo bit into consideration. Plan was to look for someone else anyway, but I'd still like to hear something from her anyway.

I miss the peas too! 😛

But I feel like all of us have been pretty chatty, actually, and I haven't noticed anything particularly suspicious.
 
DVMD was also added late (before hmoo). Not sure what this means in terms of game balance either but we could have had one wolf and one villager added
I would only think it would turn out that way if we had a fairly villager-leaning role set to begin with. It's not a 1:1 ratio so adding two villagers makes much less of an impact than adding a wolf and a villager if the game is already balanced. But i could see it working that way if the original set was pro-village. There's really no way to know so we'll just have to evaluate them like anyone else throughout the game. I would just say they are slightly more likely to be village, DVMD especially since mods didn't know they would have another add-on when she was added.
 
Yeah, I wouldn't classify Guis as quiet, I think she's been pretty involved in the convo.

Not a wolf and didn't know, but it's a decent reason to vote for me, so I can't be mad. 😉 Just picked you from a group of players I don't know much about and don't have any feels pushing me away from lynching them.
