Infiltrated WW Game Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
rocky, I want you to know I have absolutely nothing against you personally and all I was trying to get across was gameplay this game.


sorry if you are dealing with real-life issues.

It's perfectly okay! I respect that 🙂 thank you.
 
Can someone please tell me if recruitment happens during day or night cycles? Even if my aforementioned theory is wrong (and it was vague intel vs. indicating transition), it's still more to go on than nothing. But if recruitment happens during the night then my theory is definitely wrong and I can at least stop overanalyzing it.

Last night was filled with lots of interesting activities, lots of interesting information found, and lots of deaths/imprisonments. We start our night actions at the old “neutral territory” where 3 of the gangs’ members met.

“Oh hey guys!” One of the gang leaders walked up with his two newest recruits by his side. He was gleaming from ear to ear.

“What are you so happy about, don’t you know what happened?”

“All I know is I have these two fine new soldiers to do the good work of my gang, The…”

“Dude, shut up, did you notice one of the gangs isn’t here. Do you realize what has happened?”

“Where is El Capo Gang?” The gang leader looked around uneasily, unsure of what happened.

“Their leader is in lock up. They took him down. The political contacts representing the gang community are retreating. We are already losing business. The streets are becoming smaller, we might be able to get less done….”

“Wait, if El Capo Gang isn’t the strongest anymore, then who is?”

A leader from a different gang stepped up. “We are.” He said with a deep, Russian accent. “And as a whole, we should take out the two people that there are hits on tonight. With any luck, one will be a cop. Don’t worry, we have political protection ourselves, all of it didn’t come from that filthy Mexican gang.”

“But isn’t one of them in your gang? Wouldn’t you be opposed to us….”

“He has lost the will to live. We don’t need anyone like that in our gang. He is weak. He is nothing. He deserves to die.

The gangs split up, the medium sized one and the small one went to deal with Rocky, while the larger one, feeling unable to kill a member of their own gang, decided to deal with Devastating.

The medium and small sized gangs went to Rocky’s house. And knocked on the door. They had it all planned out, how they would kill her, how they would….

“Come on in, I left my gun on the table. Just make it quick.” The two gangs were shocked, why would he do something like this? Voluntarily die? Not put up a fight? Not try and hide? They all eased inside the house uneasily, waiting for something bad to happen. But nothing did.

The gang leader of the smallest gang grabbed the gun and walked over to where Rocky was on the couch, aiming it right at her head. The gang leader noticed that a fifth of Jack was empty beside her.

“Why did you give up?” the gang leader asked, befuddled.

“I can do greater good for my gang, for this city, being dead rather than being alive. You see, my abilities, although limited, is by far the most superior way to identify undercover cops in this city. Why would I waste these abilities when no one would believe me, when I can teach a predecessor, and allow them to carry them out. You see, you have made me give up. So I am dying not for myself, but for you, every last one of you. Make sure you use the money from the bounty on my head to gain a stronger foothold on this city… Please end it, now.”

The gangleader begrudgingly raised the gun back up to her head, and pulled the trigger, providing her with a quick passage to the other side.
----------------------

On the other side of town the larger gang arrived at Deva’s house. They kicked open the door to find a completely dark house inside. Nothing disturbed, nothing packed, just dark. Usually, Deva was out during the night, following various people and logging who they interacted with for the given evening. But tonight, was it that she was….

One of them burst through the door to her room to find her asleep in bed. All of the activities had not roused her one bit. She must have completely forgot about anyone who she wanted to follow last night and ended up staying in asleep.

The gang leader who found her made quick work of her, and put two bullets straight into her skull.
--------------------

We arrive at yet another press conference, this one involving a gloating police chief.

“Chief, is it true you have officially dismantled the top gang in the city?”

“Well, I wouldn’t say completely dismantled, there is still some work to do. But we have taken out their leadership. There is now a void that they will attempt to fill. But we will keep taking them out, one by one. Until there is no one left in the gang.”

“Chief, although we appreciate all the work that has occurred with this gang, we can’t help but notice that none of the gangs have even been touched by the police. Is there a reason for this?”

“I don’t believe your condescension is deserving of an answer in this happy moment, but I will give it to you anyway. There are high priority targets, and there are low priority targets. Are you proposing we should deal with the low priority targets before the higher priority targets. You know what, your right. We will exclusively go for low priority targets. And I am instituting you as new police chief. How does that sound? Think you are up for it.” His temper had reached an all time high. “That’s it, I am done for the day. Oh and I don’t want to see that report at my next press conference.
-------------------

In other news, a bill that was being filibustered by the senate is up for vote tomorrow evening, despite the opposing party’s best efforts. Who knows, it may even become a law soon enough….

Furthermore, a well-known lawyer who had been appealing a high profile case in court, passed out in court yesterday. Apparently, a tranquilizer dart was found in the neck of the lawyer. Officials are looking into ways to scan for these types of weapons prior to entering the court room, to ensure that this does not happen again.

Last night, the wiretap was once again not so interesting, and was tossed out as a result.

Free booze if you come to my club. It's ladies night. You interested?

I'll be up early to check on this, but IRL I am driving across the country by myself. So I'll be up before night is over, if you PM, but then again, I'm always up during the night.

Ouch. That was a rough night.

Information for the masses distributed by me: "As of the end of this evening (D6) only 1 wolf has been "recruited" into any of the gangs."

If that helps gang members start pointing fingers, it might be useful.

For now,

Do you know if this means recruited just last night or overall there is only one wolf that is in a gang?

As I interpreted it, before last night (as in, "as of the end of this evening" meaning yesterday evening) only one wolf had been recruited into a gang.

Edit: not including wolves who started in gangs I assume
 
lynch WZ

I have no hard ideas on who the wolf in our group is, but we have to find them.

WZ is my top suspicion. Has had nothing to say to us. I mean almost nothing. I know she is busier these days, but I am just gonna guess she is having hard time figuring how not to act like a wolf.
 
I finally caught up on reading all of this madness. I have a couple feels but no proof so I'm just gonna pick one.

People were saying the same thing about me last game. You'd think there would be great rejoicing over the decreased word vomit 😛 But today is my day off. So I'm gonna go back and read some writeups.
 
Not changing my vote, or strategy to look inwardly at my gang, but it is really starting to sit weirdly with me.

Why the hell would any wolves in a gang, systematically target ONLY this gang. I mean 4 kills, all in our gang. We are going to lynch our own gang now, and pretty soon we are going to find the wolf. It puts a huge target on their own back.

It just makes no sense to me.

It sounds a lot more like a set-up.

The thing that makes sense to me is that a wolf has the ability to get a list of gang members, maybe just once, maybe more, and they are just going through the list killing us all, waiting for us to take each other out.
It seems really, really far-fetched, but it makes more rational sense than the theory that a snitch in our gang is a wolf doing this on purpose.

Also with abilities being inherited, you never really get rid of villager abilities until you have killed off everyone in the gang, so again that would be pretty rational to just remove a whole gang. I guess even if there is a wolf it still might make sense to lose a wolf at the expense of taking out every ability we have.

Hmm. This is really annoying though.

I thought we had clear evidence that there was a wolf in our gang, hence the looking inward. Or am I wrong about that?

My thoughts were a combination of the information that abilities are passed down and Gwen's theory earlier about leadership passing into the hands of a wolf. So they just had to take out enough gang members to off the people "higher ranked" than they were, inherit the position they wanted, and then could happily turn their efforts to a new gang.

Especially with the possibility of 3 wolf free gangs on Day 3 (from the write up yesterday morning), that would mean they only had one gang infiltrated, so I think it would make sense to try to take out that gang first while attempting to get wolves recruited into the other gangs. And it sounds like there has been 1 wolf recruited into a gang, whether the same one or a different one who can say.

I mean, maybe not the smartest strategy, but so far it seems to be working well for them.
 
Well, if we have an ask-a-mod character, a very nice question would be "is there a gang leader who is a wolf"?

In the meantime, I'm going to stick with the vote that I tried to start yesterday while everyone else was stuck on lynching someone who had given us all the information they were going to. I have no idea if it's right, but it's something.

Lynch Teep
 
it was conjecture (mostly mine), that the repeated targeting of our gang meant there must be a wolf in it.
Oh. Ok. Thought there was evidence in a writeup I missed.

It makes sense that the wolves would try to get one of their own moved up in the ranks of a gang by taking out the higher-ups, but doing it the way they have, not targeting any other gang, makes less sense. As you said, it only helps us find them faster. I could also see it being a strategy of taking out a gang with no wolf in it, since they have no influence there. Especially if they knew we were the largest gang. I'm not altogether sure which of those scenarios is more likely.
 
I'll join in voting to lynch MJ

We of the Russian gang recruited MJ on Night 3. We also used a gang ability (might be different between gangs) to ask how many wolves are in our group; we were told 1. That + discrepancies with description (iffy evidence, I know) is pushing me towards MJ.
 
“Their leader is in lock up. They took him down. The political contacts representing the gang community are retreating. We are already losing business. The streets are becoming smaller, we might be able to get less done….”

“I don’t believe your condescension is deserving of an answer in this happy moment, but I will give it to you anyway. There are high priority targets, and there are low priority targets. Are you proposing we should deal with the low priority targets before the higher priority targets.

I read these - especially the first - as hinting that there's a reason the wolves wanted to go after the largest. I don't know why, otherwise.

But how would they know to target only members of that gang? There are at least a few unaffiliated, plus at least one other gang that would have had no wolf members (based on 2-3 gangs being wolf free at one point), and yet the ONLY ones to die by wolf hands so far were members of the El Capo gang. That just seems like too big of a coincidence to me.

I was going off of sobsob's idea that maybe they were able to get a list of gang members.

Ah okay. I guess it just seems more far-fetched to me than having a wolf in the gang, trying to inherit the choice abilities, and taking out the competition until they get it. And maybe not fully thinking through the consequences of those actions being kind of obvious until it was too late.

I just would think they would have stopped or slowed down on targeting El Capo around the time when everyone in El Capo was like "Hey, we're the only ones being targeted, there's probably a wolf here" which was 2 nights ago at least. Unless they were really close to getting a top spot in the gang.

I have to agree.
My list idea seems far-fetched.

I think we have no choice but to ferret out the wolf in our gang. And if there isn't one, then well-played wolves. And if turns out there isn't one, I would be highly suspicious of the more creative and talented of our players.

Well #1 died last night. So, seems plausible.

Yeah but I think we're all doubting the person who inherited that spot is a wolf. It's possible, of course, but... At any rate, if that is the scenario we're looking at, it's less likely teep is the wolf. He could have been lying about his rank, but he mentioned that he started out really low. Unfortunately I don't know where everyone else is ranked other than myself.

Do other higher up ranks get cool abilities? Do you guys even know what ability each rank gets? Like, could they have been shooting for 2nd in command or something? Just a thought, it could also be that they're not done yet. But of course now that we're discussing this I feel like they'll probably change tactics.
 
I was rereading the write-ups and came across this:
“Well, you see, they are actually the bookie of this game. They call him “El Contador,” which I can only imagine is some Spanish translation for a bookie?” In any event, they kept records on all of the gang member’s activities, which we now have access to! This should open us up to even being able to arrest the top ranking members of the gang.”

Perhaps this is how the wolves knew so much about the el capo gang and have been targeting only this group? Or it could be write-up flair. Not sure what Caia's rank/exact role was but if a wolf was next in line maybe they inherited her abilities?

Access to all of the gang members activities sounds like they know all of the member abilities. Which is probably not good, but supports the theory that they may be trying to work up to a specific ability.
 
I find it fairly far-fetched that the biggest group doesn't have a wolf in a game called infiltrated. Also been a couple nudges at that in the write-ups, although of course they could just be my interpretation.

I've also been saying we have one for a couple days, and suggesting that we kill within the group so that this didn't happen - wolves picking off all the villager numbers without us getting a chance to possibly hit back. Lo and behold, here we are with like 1/3 of our group dead and no closer to figuring out who the freaking snitch is.

Can you ask how many are in other groups, or just yours? The name of our group is public knowledge now, if you can ask about us specifically that'd be really freaking great.

In case people want to read the past write-ups:
Intro
Gwen "death"
Hayley hit 1
Hayley hit fail 1
Hayley hit 2
Hayley hit fail 2, Caia imprisoned
Kam hit
Night cancelled
Rocky hit
Rocky fail, Hayley death
Rocky & Deva hit (this is a mess, no link)
Rocky & Deva deaths, LotF imprison

We weren't told what ability each rank gets.

That would make a lot of sense...but I don't know who was next in line behind her.

Wasn't someone's rank mentioned in a previous writeup? I know lotf's was, but wasn't there another one as well? Seems weird that Caia's wasn't.

In our group, we received a list of night actions from people that Caia had tracked. That is the night SOV decided to go on a Kam hunt.
 
Access to all of the gang members activities sounds like they know all of the member abilities. Which is probably not good, but supports the theory that they may be trying to work up to a specific ability.
As I recall, Caia was #2, PBC was #3, and LotF was #1. So, likely the original #4 is a wolf.

Speaking of rankings... mods, do we get a clue as to rocky's place in the Russian gang hierarchy?
