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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
It's not a role reveal because the item is now gone, the person doesn't have to say what their role is, just the item that they received
Then everyone's going to go on a mad hunt for them to reveal who they used it on and for the affiliation one, what the result was. I agree with these two about this.
I really don't think this is a good idea at the moment. If someone thinks it's valuable that they reveal that they received an item, just let them do it. I don't think you should explicitly reveal where you have sent items.

Wolves already have more info than the villagers, so I think keeping most info under wraps might be a better strategy. What does everybody else think?

I agree, it's inappropriate to force anyone out of the closet. They should only come forward, of their own accord, if they feel safe doing so.

And IF the affiliation item had been sent to a wolf how would we even know they're telling the truth? Since kmittz doesn't know who is what? It may have been sent to a villager (more likely, since there's more villagers than wolves) but how do you know that the information would even be accurate? It could just lead to another witch hunt and lynching a villager again. If the people who got the items want to reveal it because they want to save someone from getting lynched, let them make that decision themselves.
 
But is it not still somewhat of a role reveal?
I will absolutely leave room for that possibility. I don't see how, but that's why I just added that the item/info should only be revealed if the person in question feels safe doing so. I understand that it could somehow compromised them in a way I can't see from the outside.

I just feel like this is our first chance to get good intel on anyone. I may be jumping too hard at it. Maybe we should sit on the idea for a few hours to think it through.

Alright I'll be back later. It does seem like we might need an infusion of information for us nooblets to actually catch a wolf this time (lol). One of us villagers has to have some lead to go off of... but really be careful if you decide to release info.
 
And IF the affiliation item had been sent to a wolf how would we even know they're telling the truth? .
I had a very long post of possible outcomes, but it got to the point that, in my analysis of what I think a wolf would do, I feel like I was doing the work of strategizing for the wolves.
 
I totally understand that people don't want to put themselves in harms way, but as the person who made the items, I can't see how revealing them will hurt anyone. I just want someone to come up with an argument for that because the wolves already know who the villagers are. So revealing the item that was used and who it was used on would just help us villagers just sort out the actions that happened behind the scenes.
 
Sorry I lied lol. Came back to post one more time. Do people know if they have been seered?
 
Ok here are my thoughts, @DocR S would you care to explain why you keep hooting but said you have a human mind? Also this:

If I was a wolf, I would NOT want to draw attention to myself.

Finally, this seems weird to me:

So we're gonna trust cdo because she says she's helping? Sounds like the phrase "a wolf in sheep's clothing"

We haven't gotten a wolf yet LET'S PICK IT UP PEOPLE
 
I don't think so, but people might get a someone was watching them from above like someone did, I forget who.
that was DocS, so make of it what you will. I legitimately don't know what to think about anything in her posts.

Well that might be a good point, has anyone else been notified if they were protected? Cause you might not know if you were a target unless it was hinted to in the write up. But if I was protected last night, nothing got sent to me
 
In the previous games that I've read, you get notified if you are protected, for example, you felt a benevolent presence watching over you last night. I'm not saying this is the case, but I think it might be based on Doc S experience.
 
Thanks for reminding me who said they were watched. I am having trouble remembering every single thing that was said haha
 
Sharing affiliation info is a TERRIBLE idea. First off, there's the possibility that kittens is lying about her abilities (I don't think she is, but it shouldn't totally be ruled out).

But more importantly, if information that someone is a villager is publicly shared, that info will
A) save them from being lynched but
B) make them target #1 for the wolves at night because of A (i.e., wolves will know the only way to kill that villager is a night-kill)

It's true that the wolves have more info than we do so we need to collaborate to figure things out, but don't forget wolves will see any info we share among ourselves. If we're very public about who we think is a villager, they'll target that person.

That's a really good point. I hadn't thought of it like that, it could make people a target if we all agree that they're a villager. Crap I thought that was a really good idea to gather some information.

As a villager, I have a human mind, and that's very easy for any good villager to see. With my mind, I think logically and rationally. If I hoot a few times ... no worries ... it's just the way I am.

But, let's consider a more serious matter:

By now, it is obvious to all good villagers that I am, in fact, a target of the killer wolves.

And ... since I am marked as a target by the wolves hiding in our village, I am wondering who-who-who among you have been trying to harm me and kill me on two separate nights? WHO-WHO-WHO is trying so desperately to kill me?

Wow you villagers really suck. The wolves are kicking your ass. It's just delightful! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Says Chaos who was killed moments after outing herself as Chaos... 😉

Can someone explain the tracking ability that AM had? I know she chose Hyge and that's why the juggler was in the write-up (and how we lynched Chaos!) but I'm confused about what tracking in WW is.
 
So someone attacked her, seered her, incapacitated her, and protected her. Wow a lot of people have very strong feelings about her.

Welcome back, Coopah!

Yeah, it's weird. Even if she's telling the truth, why did she attract so much attention so early on?

This is weird too:

She has a human mind, but she hoots. Either she's an owl who's convinced she's human, or a human who's convinced she's an owl, or she's a human in an owl's body. While I find the second option most amusing, I think the third is most likely given that we're a circus with magicians and such.

Maybe the attempted attack went wrong and she ended up in an owl's body? Or someone has the power to turn humans into animals and vice versa? (Seems possible considering we had a human and an animal kill the first two nights).

Interesting thought, I just thought birdman lol

I still feel like there's a reason she's talking the way she is. Either it's a restriction, or she's just trying to hide in plain sight. For someone who is being so obviously confusing, she's yet to be on the top of the lynch tally. I don't know if it's a restriction or a really good strategy

I just realized my wording was pretty strong- didn't mean to poop all over your idea! It can definitely be useful if we get close to lynching a villager you know is a villager, which, give our lynching track record so far, would be very helpful!

Literally said this earlier. :lame:

Sorry! I'm guilty of skimming instead of reading.

I was confused when you said it earlier because I thought that you were saying it would reveal to the wolves who was a villager, which they already know, not that it would make them because of our consensus
 
Also the resurrection, I don't believe resurrections have gone well in the past, I believe in the computer game they resurrected paint, but it had been infected by a virus. This is my only example however. Not sure what to do about that.

that is a very good point about it making them a wolf target simply because we then definitely wouldn't lynch them. There's so many "What if" holes to go down here... There must be some intel we can build that won't immediately be used against us! As it is, we're just randomly stabbing away at each other.

a zombie elephant would make a very scary beast! However, she was our seer. I would be very slow on the trigger against her.

*Hope she's not too incapacitating by the meds from her surgery. She may not even know her character was resuscitated.*

Good point, we can definitely wait and see the write ups that follow!

Huh. Anyone have more info on past games?

I know conversions can occur too (villager -> wolf and vice versa) but I think that would be too obvious.

At least until we see how the next few write-ups go, I think we should watch out for possible redirections (i.e., she gets info on the wrong target) or wrong info.

It's okay, I meant more of no one liked the idea (including mittens) when I suggested it. Must be a cat avatar thing...

I believe we all just thought you were saying that outing oneself as a villager would draw wolf attacks. That obviously doesn't make much sense. I get your point now.
 
Finally caught up again! So we only lost one villager last night (and an assassin at that, so she could have taken out fellow villagers on accident if my understanding is correct), and we got killerleaf back! So not a terrible night for us villagers. I'm also curious if killerleaf's affiliation/ability is still the same.

Thank you for explaining this, I was also confused because I thought the wolves know who the other wolves are, so obviously everyone else is a villager (or chaos, but I THINK we only had one chaos).

I'm also frustrated that we don't have any obvious leads right now, but I agree revealing too much information is a bad idea. I'm not as set on lynching Dr. S as I was last night, I'll have to give it some thought over the next few hours. I'm a little surprised NOBODY has voted yet.
