In general if you are going to reveal your role and/or ability and there is PM allowed, that is the way to do it. I can wreak havoc as a wolf because noobs go off and announce everything on the thread.

Sorry:depressed:

Holy **** you guys. Even if SOV is full of crap right now, how fun would a game be where the roles didn't match the names.

Frustrating as heeeeeeeck! Mwahahaha

No glitch for me, so not this game.
 
Another long day of theorizing, strategizing, and copying/pasting and it was outed that SOV was T'ron. Well, the village said, he's definitely a bad guy. Or almost definitely. Surely he is, right? And poor SOV responded, I promise I am not! I may not even be who I think I am! But while nearly giving the village pause, it did not stop them from their course.

You have lynched SOV - T'ron, a brave dragonrider who thought pretty highly of himself and had made the daring jump 400 turns with Lessa to save Pern from Threadfall. Each night using his political savvy (and ego) he could discover someone's real name. (Villager) With a heartwrenching keen, his bronze dragon Fidranth leapt into the air and disappeared between. The remaining dragons set up a mournful keen, at the loss of yet another one of their own.

It is now Night 4. Deadline is 6AM CST/7AM EST. Again, please get in actions tonight if possible 🙂 (and bold your tithes in your hold chat pretty please!)

I am not sure I like the trend of doing crazy weird cover roles for the wolves. I hated it in the Final Fantasy game and if that is the case here too, what the heck is the point of even playing a genre specific game?

Kinda off topic, so added *****

I actually like the idea of cover roles. Of course you have to balance it right but I get so sick of games where people just role reveal and then it's done, no more questioning of them. Now, I don't think they should seer as such (not the biggest fan of unseerables) but giving the wolves a list of roles that are reasonable for the theme that they can use in role claims moves the focus of a themed game back towards analysis and away from mass role claiming.

Just caught up and was about to vote and then lynch closed as I was writing my post. 🙁

Sorry, mods, for missing the lynch tonight.

T'ron tried to kill the main protagonist. It was highly likely for him to be a wolf. He did do good though at first, so that was the conundrum.

I wonder if there would be game conditions that could cause him to convert to being a wolf? That could fit in with him being a villager now but being a "bad" character in the books.

Could be. We might indeed be starting with one wolf until thread falls, then have to worry about conversions. Damn, that waiting for thread is giving me anxiety.
 
Ooop, sorry I never actually put down a vote:smack: not that it would've mattered since it was going to be SOV.

I actually have reason to believe there is more than one, but I do feel like conversion could come into play at some point.
 
Sorry I called you all gays. (There is nothing wrong with that, but it was kinda funny so I didn't edit it. besides, it had already been quoted by the time I noticed.)

In my Hold PM, someone asked me why I thought tithing was so important. Here is what I said-- just slightly edited:

Eventually Thread will fall, and if there aren't enough stored tithes, harm will befall all of us. Maybe wolves and villagers alike. I'm really not sure about that. I think that not only do dragons and/or riders receive tithed abilities, but there is probably some kind of banking that goes on as well.

And, just look at it from the meta perspective... The mods put it in, hinted that it was maybe not necessary (maybe thread won't fall anymore.) We know from the books that they thought that after every long interval. With 400 turns since the last threadfall, we are just about due for the end of a long interval.

So, there are constant hints that it may be a waste of effort, and it is actually kind of painful to do it since you lose access to your ability for the night (or longer!), and there are basically lots of inducements to just not do it. What if it is going to a bad person? Why can't someone else do it? What if we wait and just see, etc.

All that pressure against it. And yet, it would seem to be a pro-social, mutually beneficial community service kind of activity. This is classic games theory stuff... very prisoner's dilemma... will people cooperate, despite the opportunity costs and inconveniences for doing so, when the pay off is the greater good?

If I were making the game, I'd make bad things happen if people failed to do the cooperative thing that I built in and that was so important to the setting.

So, that is why I think we gotta tithe.

The night was indeed dark and full of terrors, and thieves, and people with large rocks and blunt objects. Poor LotF spent a hard night at work, tinkering away. Someone finally reminded her that it was time to sleep. "How inefficient" she muttered under her breath, but she went to bed and fell into a deep sleep. The next morning, her body was found, smothered.

Dead is LotF - Fandarel, who could submit 3 items each night with random distribution of one of them.

Also, after selflessly tithing her own ability, Sandy was on her way to bed for a good night's rest. Her body was found in the halls, dead by fractured skull.

Dead is Sandstorm - Brekke, who could heal 1 person each night and resurrect 1 person in the game.

After the bodies were discovered, and early morning activity got underway, Ramoth issued a mighty bugle and the fighting wings assembled. Thread was falling! The dragons flew bravely but due to their reduced health and strength some thread escaped their fiery breath and injuries were sustained by some holds. They retreated back to their weyrs at the conclusion of fall to regain their strength before thread falls again.

Also, due to their low numbers, Southern Hold can no longer support itself and has been dismantled. Please note roster changes.

It is now Day 4. Lynch deadline is 8PM CST/ 9PM EST **Note this is earlier than usual***

So I was hit on the back of the head and knocked unconscious last night, I'm now injured. Screw you to whoever did that, I've had enough brain issues you know, and it's hard to think with a splitting headache 😛

Really wondering why Sandstorm hadn't used her resurrection already, we had some good candidates.
 
I was hit by thread too, even though afaik, my hold has tithed every night.
 
My injury was very distinctly a Thread wound.
 
I wish that we knew what an injury means.

I can say that I feel pretty good that tithes are pooled and distributed in some way. Some holds said that they have tithed consistently, but still weren't fully protected.
 
There may be more than one Healer. That would be a kindness from the mods, in a game with so much potential for injury. And this is such an ability rich setting, so unless they doubled up on a few of them, it would get tedious to come up with enough unique abilities. :xf:

I have a feeling Thread fall also meant conversions. Even with the 2 kills. Maybe auto-conversions or something like that?

From what I know of the lore, I disagree. Thread seems more of a chaotic element, meant to sow death and destruction. I don't see how being hit by Thread would spur a conversion. Possible, but unlikely IMO.

Considering we had two role name seerers, I agree that there may be another healer out there
