Day 4

Before they knew it, Club BastardMods had become quite the lonely place. As the sun went down on this day, only 3 party-goers seemed to have it left in them to continue on. One bold soul yelled "Come on guys!!! We cant stop now!!! Another round!!!!" Three shots slid across the bar, with the first gal slamming her shot immediately. Looking invigorated, the other two figured maybe it would perk them up as well...hair of the dog, ya know? Hopeful, but still reluctant, they downed their drinks as well. Before they could finish swallowing, they watched as their friend fell to the floor and began writhing and foaming at the mouth. Blood then spewed from her mouth, as if her insides were just eroding away. Her eyes bulged, her throat closed up, and after grabbing up at her neck in the hopes that anything could allow her just one more breath, the life suddenly drained from her body. Her body went limp, her head fell down against the floor, and a last bit of blood slowly dripped from her lip down to the floor, like a water faucet that had only been turned 99% of the way off.

As the group looked on in horror, from behind the bar came a loud cackling laugh. It only grew louder as a second person emerged to take the bartender's side. The bartender reached out and slammed a bottle down on the bar, wide-eyed and grinning from ear to ear. The bottle presented in front of them was nothing they had seen before... a simple generic brown glass bottle, with a black label that showcased a large skull and cross-bones. The two remaining drinkers slowly looked down into their glasses and then turned to look at each other with the knowing expectation that they were in serious trouble. It seems even the milk had been tainted. A warm tingling sensation welled up in their throats which quickly turned into an unbearable, searing, burning pain. The excruciating pain rapidly spread throughout their bodies as they fell to the ground, wishing for death. And death... it did indeed come.

The wild-haired, crazy-eyed bartenders tossed out the deadly bottle, and cracked open a bottle of Glenlivet 1967, 30 year Cellar Collection. A healthy pour for each, they raised their glasses, and without much emotion, seeming like it had all just been a little too easy, they simply said, "To victory."

Now THIS warm tingling sensation was the one that all the others had hoped to attain all along.

After all, the best way to enjoy a drink is to sip, not to shoot.

I apologize to those who didnt enjoy the game and/or thought it was unbalanced. I had to adjust the roster for a smaller size but wanted to keep some of the fun village roles. I thought it ended up village-sided so I basically let April choose who she wanted to wolf with, framed as a conversion, and that person would retain their PR to the wolf side. If she had chosen a vanillager I was going to give them an extra kill. I dont see the conversion as "bastard" as it was essentially still 24 hours into the game, some people might not have even checked in yet, so its not like a huge village bloc had formed in any way, as opposed to something like RvB. I also included 2 village JOATs on the chance that one of them was yeeted early or got converted, and exactly both happened. Will have to ask Chaos about the math probabilities on that one.

Cubs and Lawpy signing off.

I enjoyed it! Thanks for modding!
 
I'm not sad about the sweep. I'm sad I can't ever understand or anticipate conversion despite experiencing it for 5 year. I'm glad others can detect it though.

Eh it was hardly conversion since I was a wolf with almost 12 hours still to go in d1. More just mechanics that would be hard to wrap your head around with your knowledge of my meta. I think that's why Bob had an easier time seeing a world where I was wolfing. He doesn't have the history with me getting in the way. Instead he was sussing me for my village role :laugh: which, to be fair, could easily have been a wolf role to begin with.

We thought y'all were gonna flip to April at the last minute though. Spooky.

The problem is exactly six months ago I saw a near identical situation play out so it could have influenced my thought process with that knowledge. But yeah, I wasn't apathetic enough to fully switch so I think that's what I'll work on next. Too much thinking ahead and not enough evaluating in the present. I am sad to inform that I have reduced you to two impossible moves though because there's no guarantee this won't happen a third time.

Well I mean, I didn't do the thing I said I didn't do. I didn't attack Zenge and I didn't give up a kill. Not sure if you saw in dead chat, but we didn't have a kill that night because I had been converted earlier in the day, so I protected him to cover the no kill.

Granted, you'd have to be sure that 1) conversion hasn't occurred after the fact like in Baby Animals and 2) that the attack actually happened before you could use such things to clear me. Unfortunately the events of the night are rarely that cut and dry.

Yeah. I guess with the role of protector being generally village, and it being N1, the mechanics of a D1 conversion and then a wolf protecting me N1, the mechanics of what actually happened eluded me.

I know you didn't, but both times I overrode that you could still be wolf by early conversion. And when there was plenty of time for me to notice you were converted. Until I can trust myself to notice you're converted, there's always a chance things happened differently and it's a yet another loophole instead of a clear.

I also specifically didnt include anything about an actual attack, hoping that would muddy the waters less for you.

Theoretically I should be villaging hard enough that you shouldn't have to use something like that to clear me anyway. It'll be frustrating for me if it comes up when I am village, but it shouldn't be the only thing keeping me alive.

So I agree that's the real lesson here. I never have to lean on those kinds of clears when I am village, so if that's all you've got, probably yeet me to the moon or whatever lol I don't think I played all that well this game outside of good use of my role. It's not really what I pride myself on when I'm wolfing anyway. Hence why I didn't so much feel like bragging, in addition to just feeling a bit bad about how things went.
 
You know what though, April was awesome. She was on so many village lists by d2 and none of it had anything to do with mechanics.
I was expecting people to turn on me because I didn't really have a great reason to be village other than incompatibility lol
 
YES BOB KEEP GOING

Oh, Bob can be quite good at solving the game when he's not messing around.

Bob's got some serious WIM going right now and I am LIVING for it.

Village might not pull it together in time, but he's making a damn good effort.

BOB YES VOTE APRIL PLS PLS PLS

BOB KEEP THINKING

YOU'RE VILLAGE'S LAST HOPE RIGHT NOW

HEAR TOT CHAT SUPPORTING YOU, BOB
 
From where I'm sitting you've got two villagers in your top wolf reads and a probable third, so yes that bothers me given your recent track record.
