Possible as well. But this entire game is about risk. Potential benefit vs potential problem.
LIS definitely has something going on or else he wouldn't have come out this early. I'm personally curious to see what it is.

True, he definitely has something going on but I am a bit afraid that it he is trying to fool us or that there may be something sinister going on. I guess I am just being a bit paranoid already.
Whoa...
DVMD, that pic is kind of small. I can't tell what it is?
Also, it's a challenge to find a cool avi without nudity. Darn ancients.

Anyway...how many of us here know mythology well? For those of us that don't (especially if we have a seer that doesn't know much and could come across a name that is not recognized, potentially missing a baddie) maybe we should brainstorm who the wolves could be.
My thoughts:
Medusa (or any of the Gorgons)
Enyo (possible but unsure...she was Ares' companion, the goddess of strife)
Would Ares himself be considered bad? Unsure.
the Eryines (Furies)
Maybe just a basic monster cadre?

I'll drink to anything.
Thanks for the votes, those who took the plunge. I really can't say more about WHY electing me is beneficial because I don't actually know the precise details. But my role PM was clear that it would be a boon to the villagers.
I welcome investigation, and I presume there will be a minimum of two PMs tonight investigating me. 😛
😛 I had already changed it by the time you posted this. Just had to give me some time.
I would agree with the above, not sure about Ares. I would probably consider him to be good, personally, but that is just my opinion. I would also think cyclops, hades, cerberus, basically look up gods/goddess of the underworld and that should give you some ideas. It really depends on how the mods have set the game up though. Poseidon could be bad if you are looking at this from an odyssey view-point. So, if there is any basis on Odyssey or Iliad, then any antagonists from those could be wolves.
Here are a couple to ad to that list (not sure any/all are Greek):
Cyclops, the Sirens?, Harpies, Titans, Hades, Hydra, Minotaur
Those are just a few bad guys in remember from mythology
Cheers! We're on the same page!
I'm surprised to hear people say Hades. Hades was the god of the underworld, true....but he wasn't exactly "bad' (or at least no more than the other gods..seriously, have you seen some of the horrible things the gods did in mythology??). He stole Persephone, sure. Zeus raped a bunch of women, yet our first instinct would be that Zeus is a good guy, right?
The Greek gods are not nice people, period. I think that will be a key feature of this game. Sort of well, who is truly bad? What does it take to be evil? Are any of the gods actually "evil"?

Also just remembered Charybdis and Scylla from the Odyssey. Probly baddies.

I agree. It is really going to depend upon which angle the mods are going with this. Depending upon the angle they have chosen, there are any number of people who could be good or bad. Will just have to see what information we get and if the mods reveal anything in the write-ups.
Haven't you ever watched the Disney version of Hercules? Hades is clearly BAD news bears. DISNEY IS ALWAYS RIGHT.
I'M A DISNEY PRINCESS I SHOULD KNOW. See my tiny waist, off the shoulder dress, pretty tiara, and ample, perky bust. I'm going to cry if you tell me Disney is wrong.
but also, I might kinda agree with WTF here.
Wasn't there lots of monsters in Greek mythology? And isn't it easy to call certain Gods evil or good?
FH, I wish you were more active in more games. You're making me cry laughing.
Yes to the first, and no to the second. The Greek gods were definitely a mixed bunch. Even the best of them did naughty things. Show the gods respect? They're nice to you. Be a dick to the gods? They'll blow you away.
The gods had no problem manipulating humans for their own amusement and all exhibited some degree of corruption.
quasimodo dies at the end.
Don't cry LIS. I loooooooooooooooooveeeeeeeeeeeeee you. Smile. Be happy. I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee everyone on SDN. SDN is the best guys. Hugs all around!
RUDE! Don't be a movie-ruiner WTF.
EVERYONE be warned. WTF is a big, fat, grumpy MOVIE-RUINER.
Also, I used to have Esmerelda sheets on the bed I'd sleep on at my grandparents house.
I have a strange feeling that FH is going to end up having the most posts when this game ends. How odd is that? 😛

And yes, I've played SMITE. It's so much fun.
Buttttt didn't I have control of your mom who is BADDD...
I'm starting to think FH was given a minimum number of posts per round requirement. 🙂
I'm super confused about FH, but highly amused...
I rather liked those graphics in God of War. 🙂
I haven't ruled out completely that Hades can be bad. But all the other gods have done bad stuff too. He helped his brothers defeat the Titans.
As a note - Prometheus was a Titan and wasn't a bad guy, although he was punished horribly for what he did to help humans.
Are the Titans really considered bad? I know more Norse mythology than I know Greek, but I didn't think the Titans were evil per se?
Or maybe the "evil" people in this game are the Titans trying to win back Olympus? Dunno.
This game is going to be FUN. 😀
Holy FH posts.... how am I supposed to give you ****e if you are posting all the time FH?! 😛
Just got back from a full day of random BS....
I don't know much about Greek mythology and seems I need to do some reading up for this game from all the posts I have just read....
Ohhhh whiskey. I lurve you tooooo
The new trend (for better or worse, sometimes a good ole classic based game is good) is to have more than 2 competing groups, including what is amounting to two or more groups of wolves. from the intro, we can be pretty sure there are Gods, Demigods, Titans, Heroes.
While I agree that some of the mythical beasts, (Medusa, Chimera, etc) will likely show up in the game, I don't think they will be the primary wolves, or if they are, there will be a god/demigod that is their boss. They are more likely to be chaotic in nature IMO.
Is this the titans vs olympians? Where would the heroes fit in (Hercules, Achilles, Jason, Odysseus, Oedipus, etc)? Are they another individual group with their own win condition?
We are assuming (rightfully) that the Olympians are the good guys, but we could also have some of the power struggle within the Olympians. I'm not sold on Hades being evil (and no, he has no tie to the Titan's except that he was a son of two of them, but he never ruled over them, famously battled against them in the Battle of the Titans)...
Can we be seeing Ares trying to overthrow Zeus?
Ugh, such a great topic, but also so convoluted...
