Monty Python and the Holy Grail Official WW game thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I don't think I've been attacked by any rabbits... I mean, I know I'm not paying close attention, but that seems like the sort of thing I would remember.

I dunno, guise. I'm just busy doing crap. My fingertips hurt from trying to straighten up crooked nails... Probably like 200 nails or so. The boxes don't tell you a number, just the oz... helpful.

Gah. I guess someone has to vote first :lame: So... lynch kakuru.

I'm going to go shovel my driveway/clean off my car now. I have no idea how long it's going to take, so if more info suddenly comes out then I may not be able to waffle.
 
Damn I missed a lot in my after exam post partying.....

Yes, I'll kiss devyn 😀

😆 this is classic.... and MrsSOV you need to post here all the time - not just in WW games!

psssst.

Everyone talk really quietly in the thread today..

I betcha Ms "I never get a hangover from drinking whiskey" is feeling pretty hungover today (I am sure she will deny it).

No one believes you Devyn...it's ok if you had a few too many last night

:laugh: actually not a bad hangover today.... bit of a headache as forgot my medicine... but otherwise was feeling ok.... now I am just tired..... up too damn late flirting with uber hot firemen...

<ahem> It is possible that SDN messaging had nothing to do with the fact that maybe it could have happened that perhaps the alleged victim of the potential cow attack was not IMMEDIATELY informed of the fact until a less opportune time (like now).

🙄 hahahahahahahahaahahaha...... whoops sorry SOV... should have been there to help, so this didn't happen. 😳

What night was this? All I'm finding is that she said she was hit by a cow at some point yesterday and can't seem to correlate it with the night results.

Night 6 according to my seer...so there may be a possible conversion in there the past 7 nights.
 
Special mid-day edition of the results show…… scrolling news edition…

1) Eyewitnesses report a confirmed sighting of a fuzzy animal attacking a player. Luckily this attack was non-fatal. Authorities are on the look-out for this fiend. It is described as small, white, fuzzy, with big ears and big teeth.

Night 6 results of rabbit attack...
 
I am still Dennis and will continue to rally against the opressuon of the aristocracy and the violence of royalty.

Ermm... lynch jam I guess? Not really sure at this point
 
I am no wolf. I've lynched many a wolf and come forward with information that put me in harms way.

I think the most likely wolf in this group is kakuru. So... lynch kakuru

Ermm... lynch jam I guess? Not really sure at this point

I know and trust Jam's role, and she's been very open on the thread about what she's seen happen with regards to wolves.
 
oppressive kings, etc. etc. this is getting kind of annoying...

well then.

unlynch jam, lynch mrssov

still not a wolf. not that my lynch vote counts. someone threw a cow at me. not cool.

Do you have any thoughts on mrssov or TT? Just curious.

neither of them are autocrats, which is a super plus in my book because autocrats are mean people who exert unjustly derived power. however, being an autocrat/soldier doesn't mean anything in terms of wolf or not. (example: your investigation is the same as kaydubs and i'm like 95% sure i know who you are and it's not bad like kaydubs)
thanks for the unhelpful investigation role SOV...

Btw your most recent FB status made me lol. :laugh:

*******************
 
So on the 14th day we had MrsSOV suspecting TT and Jamr0ckin and then disappearing into a hole of studying, reading, and paper writing never to emerge. Instead everyone else decides to lynch kakurubird on the theory that&#8230;. Well, there really wasn't a theory, but Kakuru was lynched anyway. So the next night, of course MrsSOV is the target of numerous villagers.. well of course, I mean she is the one who DIDN'T vote to lynch the villager. First off is SnS who has the director's chair and voted to lynch kakuru. Even though she has been told MrsSOV has no role, and is just a plain villager from a previous investigation, she decides to investigate her role. And what does she find out&#8230;&#8230;. "stay tuned". Next up is Cuitl, who agreed with MrsSOV that TT was suspicious but voted for Kakuru. For some reason she decides that MrsSOV is the biggest threat, and changes MrsSOV into a cute little newt. Let me tell you folks, the doggies in my house are very happy to have another 4 legged creature to play with. Finally, the villagers are not the only ones who have taken note of MrsSOV, the wolves have also attracted her notice. And they are her target. So the two wolves attack the poor newt, and the wolves kill MrsSOV prince turned into a villager with no role. .

But the wolves are not done yet. They also have the cow catapult. Oh yes SnS, Jam has the cow catapult. And Jam has the cow set to kill. And guess who Jam is targeting that cow at, that's right, her fellow knight of the round SnS and SnS pays for her lack of foresight, and her trust of her fellow knight as the cow lands on her and SPLAT, ShortnSweet, Sir Lancelot, Knight of the Round Table, and ironically the rescuer of MrsSOV is killed. Too bad SnS didn't use the holy grail that could have protected her!

That leaves 2 wolves, and ex-wolf, and poor Cuitl. The wolves turn to Cuitl, the village witch and Cuitl convinces the wolves that a hated witch is best as a member of evil rather than being killed, and so Cuitl joins up with the wolves and enjoys their triumph. She joins up with TT, Mrs Historian, who would have joined the wolves if her husband Mr Historian was killed, but instead, due to marital problems, decided to join the wolves earlier when they attacked her, and solved her marital problems by immediately betraying her husband, Lissarae, and having her killed.

And the finally we have Jamrockin, who was converted by TT from Sir Galahad, who could follow people, into Inspector End of film, the person designed to arrest any remaining knights and end the movie.

Well played Wolves. Thanks everyone for playing

The Bridge of Death is now open for everyone to see what that was about and what was posted there:

To be fair, I did very little decision making in choosing who to target at that point. So it's not like I personally turned right around to kill lissa. (SOV, I have to see this person - are you trynna get me into trouble?)

Also, I should note that no choice was given as to whether you became a wolf or not - it was just, welp - you're a wolf now.

Don't mess up a good story with facts. 😛

TT was the only wolf who could actually choose who to convert. The other conversions were autoconverts built into the game.

*The frog becomes a wolf when the French lord, Guy de Lombaird is killed.
*Mrs Historian becomes a wolf when Mr Historian is killed (or if she is attacked).
*THe 3 headed knight becomes a wolf when 2 of the heads are cut off by attack.

No one had a choice to die instead.
 
omg you guys when you were wanting to lynch FTB for being an autocrat I wanted to bang my head off of the wall. I don't remember but hopefully most who voted in that lynch were wolves being deliberately evil rather than people actually not realizing they were lynching King freaking Arthur 😱
 
Just a few points on the design of the game:
1) The biggest innovation I thought was the bridge of death / google document. I always like the idea of a compendium of information that can only be used in a limited way. I was surprised the questions weren't more direct, but it certainly went off without a hitch. Thanks for all your gmail addresses. Happy no one "squawked about it"
 
The 2nd big innovation was the gorge of peril, and people not dying until Nyanko (the cart driver) picked you up. Reviving one player out of 5 i thought was a big villager advantage. Too bad TT investigated her right before her conversion. Also I thought King Arthur could revive her.
 
One thing that did not play out was the grail. The wolves got it early and kept it late. With all the wounding go on it is amazing no one attacked FFM. Also I think I scared away people with the warning about the price of its use, but I was amazed SnS didn't risk it at the end of the game to gain protection.
 
Final thing for now is this:
Being that this was a Monty Python game, I made a lot of the roles jokes/gags and not real. I was surprised people didn't realize this.

Some joke roles: (there are more)
Dennis: investigates for autocrats not wolves. Amazingly Kakuru accidentally revealed 2 wolves by accident before the role gave her information she seemed reluctant to share .

Sir Bedevere: FH. Weighed people to see if they were a witch. Of course there was one (plus another later), and witches were villagers.

Sir Lancelot: Can rescue the princess (prince) .. pretty much that is it.

Prince: lame role. Gets rescued, dies, and comes back as a plain villager.

Sir not appearing in this film: silent , no role until killed.
 
WTF: I dont know how she always gets the quirky roles, but it is totally random.

So.... you guys are not very observant.. WTF voted for a wolf in every single lynch. She could investigate the complete info about 2 people per night, and picked the right ones to start. I assumed you guys would figure out she had good info and pay attention and protect her, but no one noticed. SMH.

Voting patterns matter!
 
Also this game I had people who could NOT move .. especially wolves. I thought you might notice especially after the reshuffle.

Guy Lombaird: had to stay in french castle.
zoot: had to stay in antrax
rabbit: had to stay wherever she was.
black beast had to stay in argh
Prince had to stay in his castle.

Kind of a joke since where you sign up NEVER matters but this time it did (made role assignment a pain in the butt).
 
I dont know how the wolves pulled that off.

1) Everyone was suspicious of TT but you all voted for Kakuru. That was the game there.

2) It was so obvious to me that Jam would be converted....I mean wolves couldn't win with Jam around not converted. It should have been clear Jam was a tracker or something similar, how could the wolves leave a role like that alive with so few people? They couldn't! The funny thing is MrsSOV was suspicious of Jam ALL GAME LONG, so when they converted her, she was finally right. :laugh:
 
In case you didn't notice, I don't like silencing..... so there was none (except the roles:laugh:). Mainly wounding... lose your vote and actions but at least you can talk.

I was a little disappointed the cocounuts were destroyed so quickly... i even had 2 sets so they would stay around...but they didn't.
 
JAM!!!

You remember my threat about the baby maker???? 😡😡😡



And yes...your threat about the grail made me not want to use it esp so close to the end...Figured I would end up against like 3 wolves or something

but twas a good game. Thanks mods

And the knights (minus Jam 😛) had some awesome convos....
 
And a special shout out to Devyn, who despite all those finals still managed to co-mod and send out PMs and tally votes etc.

The timing couldn't have been worse for her. She is a trooper, and pretty darn accurate. Kudos😍
 
Lol nyanko...I like your answer to my question on the bridge.
 
by the way, the RNGs were way weird in this game.

Rabbit was 1 in 3 killing, but killed like 6 times in a row.
Cow was 40% killing and killed 4 out of 5 or something.

And item distribution seemed to be going to the same people (not entirely but it seemed that way)...
