Ladies and Gentlemen... a Noob WW Game Thread!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I feel like everyone is going to jump on DocS because conn died. Now, idk if DocS is a wolf or not ... BUT, conn literally posted her role AND ability on thread last night... considering it was D1 and the wolves don't have a lot of information, it's not surprising at all that they attacked someone they knew had a decent ability. Also, for there second kill, it's possible they didn't kill DocS (if she's a villager) because they knew she was going to be the major lynch target for today, hoping we will lynch another villager and not a wolf without even discussion. Let's just not jump to conclusions here, okay? 🙂
WHO-WHO-WHO entered my little room in the darkness of midnight, as I quietly slumbered.

WHO-WHO-WHO was the mysterious attacker who targeted me?

WHO-WHO-WHO was the mysterious protector who saved me?

WHO-WHO-WHO tried to harm me last night? WHO-WHO-WHO saved me from harm?

The first presence was evil and sinister. The second presence was benevolent and loving.

Before I could react, I heard the sound of evil laughter and felt liquid sprayed against my body. Suddenly, I was totally incapacitated: paralyzed, sightless, mute, and helplessly sprawled on the floor. Hopelessly incapacitated, I was unable to cry for help, nor flee to safety; my little body lay lifeless on the floor. As I contemplated my prospective death - my mind wholly intact, but not the rest of my body -- and without so much as a sound, I sensed the appearance of a loving and benevolent presence who surely intervened and saved me from harm.

Once again, I issue this admonition to all good villagers: think carefully and choose your allies/confidantes wisely. Very wisely.
 
DocS, you've liked quite a few posts today, but people do still want to hear from you.. dramatic change from yesterday where you were quite talkative.. are you silenced? or are you just not talking today?
I know ... sorry.

I'm preparing a lot of food right now for a big holiday gathering later today. This means I will also be absent later today - due to the holiday festivities. Just so everyone knows ahead of time.

Thank you.
 
If DrS's story suggests that she was indeed the first lynch target, but she was blocked/saved, then that's a pretty plausible story in my opinion. Because I was surprised she wasn't targeted by the wolves in the first place.

Or she's lying in order to ingratiate herself to us as a victim. Very crafty, DocS. Quite the example of that higher order thinking you've been telling us about.
 
Sorry I meant the first "kill" target, not lynch. I need to get better at this whole "not able to edit posts" thing.
 
So just to clarify DrS, you think the wolves tried to attack you last night, but a villager blocked that action?
Someone attacked me last night. I don't know if the attacker is a wolf, or a someone else who sympathizes with wolves.

I sensed a "protective presence nearby" and despite the attack, I am still alive.

That's very possible as well. I was a bit skeptical of how long it was taking her to post. She may needed to craft that story behind the scenes... who knows...

You're free to listen to me, or not to listen to me: it's your choice. Choose wisely.
 
Hopefully someone can add some additional info to the mix from events that occurred last night

Does that mean there were actually 3 kill attempts last night but only 2 were successful? If so, who was doing the killing last night besides the wolves?
 
I mentioned this earlier, but sometimes villagers do have the ability to kill a certain number of people. It would be awfully early in the game for someone to do that, though...

Or was a kill redirected by the benevolent presence, leading to the death of Coopah or cdoconn? I find it likely that cdoconn and DrS were both targeted last night and Coopah was caught in the crossfire; Coopah hasn't drawn any attention so why slay them.
 
I forgot deaths could be redirected and not just blocked. That's a good idea.

Chaos character?
 
My first thought is the redirection as well. it doesn't make sense that there would be 3 wolf targets in one night, and it also might account for the seemingly random death of Coops.

so someone saved DrS knowing that another, random person would be killed instead? Who would do that, and why?

Hm. Well, of the two people who revealed the most about their roles/powers yesterday, it seems both were targeted last night. Perhaps the protector thought Dr. S was a seer or just a valuable ally in detecting wolves?

Or! What if an item was used. Maybe there are items in the game too.

This is getting confusing...

PLEASE whoever has the protecting/redirecting ability, do not announce it on the thread!! this post comes off a lot like a wolf looking for someone to announce that they were the protector of DrS.
and to asnwer WHY would they do that? because DrS alluded to her role and ability yesterday, and she was a great wolf target at night. If it was the case that someone was able to successful protect DrS (even at the expense of Coops), it was smart that they chose DrS because obviously it was necessary.
 
Dr. S, in the light of this morning's information about the innocence of cdoconn, do you care to explain your EXTREMELY emphatic vote to lynch them yesterday?
 
So in what instances would the wolves have two night kills? Just wondering more about game mechanics. I know someone asked a similar question earlier. Anyone thought of other possibilities that haven't been mentioned yet?

Please if you are an angel-type character, we need you so don't give yourself away.
 
Right, that was poorly worded for this context. The question was rhetorical. I was just trying to get to the point that I don't think DrS made a strong enough case for herself that someone would trade a random life for hers. I suppose I don't currently have any better explanation for coopah's death, though.

My favourite things game had four sloth roles. 🤣

(I think they were all brutally killed in like the first three days...)

Based on the malevolent incident in my own room last night, I believe that I am a target of at least one killer wolf, if not more than one. That's my belief, although you're free to reach your own conclusions, and at your own peril.
 
Ok, I think I'm caught up.

So... I'm most puzzled by Copal's death and I think it's the key to understanding this. I can kind of see why the wolves would want to kill her if they knew about her ability- if they targeted her in a lynching, she could take one of them out as well. But 1) how would they know her ability and 2) at this point in the game, wouldn't it be just as likely she'd accidentally take out another villager?

She voted to lynch jmo because she thought jmo was being intentionally confusing/potentially chaos. Others voted to lynch jmo too, but I think Coopah was the only one to make the chaos argument. Maybe she was on to something.

But at least for now, I agree with the redirection theory (someone else was targeted and Coopah got hit instead), and think this is stronger than what I said above about jmo maybe being chaos.

This would also fit with the mod post:

A juggler sat quietly in his room all night, rolling several balls up and down his arms. Imagine something like this. He eventually settled on one that he seemed to like, and played with it a bit more. At one point he looked around, seemingly confused by something he saw or felt, but otherwise everything was quiet and calm...

We know the juggler was in his room all night and didn't carry out a kill. But why was he confused? To me, it seems like someone tried to attack a wolf, and the juggler (also a wolf) was able to redirect to kill a random villager (Coopah).

I still want to know why there were two kills last night. Are we sure they were both by wolves? What if a villager has a special ability to kill at night, and they targeted a wolf but it redirected to Coopah?

This got too long, so here's my theory:

A villager with special abilities tried to target someone they thought was a wolf, and the juggler (also wolf) redirected the kill, resulting in Coopah's death. This could also explain Dr. S's story. Could a villager have tried to kill her (thinking correctly or incorrectly that she's a wolf), but the juggler (the presence she felt but that was not necessarily in the room with her) redirected it to Coopah?

If so, the juggler is almost certainly a wolf, and Dr. S might be. Yesterday we suspected that hyge was a juggler, so she's my main concern right now. She also didn't vote yesterday- laying low? I'm not ready to lynch, but I'm interested to see what others think.
