lynch WTF

But yeah, I have the same sort of suspicion about cuit considering that like, ghosts tend to be oh you know....dead people....and stuff.
 
I got nothing better, so Lynch WTF
 
*****unlynch alors lynch WTF*****

LIS--I think the possession idea is more likely.

Nothing really to argue about, sorry, because I'm not saying it's "right" - I'm just throwing out the thought for anyone to bat around. If I *am* right, though, it's possible it will call for some strategic lynching of specific villagers.

Here's the post, Yer Laziness. 🙂

I'm a bit confused by either of your theories...

In the first theory, how are you proposing the mechanism works? how does the wolves in this game end up possessing the right person? wolves are randomly trying to link with one of the villagers, and if guesses right, converts the villager and gains power? that doesn't really make sense...

LetItSnow said:
Hypothetically (that's code for "DVMD, please poke holes in this idea").....

Let's say I were designing this game....

I might consider having my ghosts be wolves, and I might consider having them be only loosely connected to the players.

So I'd start by making all the players villagers of one sort or another. Then I'd layer the wolf/ghost identity on top of those selected 'villagers' (who are now effectively wolves).

If one got lynched or killed in a 'normal' manner, I'd simply bounce the 'ghost' identity to another player (perhaps at random, perhaps not). It'd be sorta like a conversion. You'd just be told you were now a wolf/ghost.

But if they were trapped into the ghost tank, they'd be effectively killed and the wolf count would decrease.

Sorta a twist on my previous possession theory.

Just tossing it out for more mulling.

And, if WTF turns out to be a bad guy, it means the wolves are fully informed of my role. I think we should determine WTF's status. I'm just not sure how, short of lynching her.
Click to expand...

As far as your second theory, there are a lot of ghost trapping items out there, but that'd be a horribly difficult mechanic to pull off and this game could be over real quick if we only kill ghosts trapped in containment tanks or muon traps or whatever... I think that those things, while important to the villagers, are just tools to help us get the wolves, but not required to kill them. I'd like to think all the wolves that have been killed are still dead and not flying around repossessing another body... but conversions and identity theft can be probably highly common in this game....

WTF now gives us a great experiment. One claims ghost tank trapped and gave us the identity as baddie wolf. Another claims that her identity was stolen and thus anything that the tank says is bull****. Not sure what an identity theft is going to cause someone to come back as a 100% definitive baddie. So in lynching WTF, even a human kill gives us useful information, and there are still soooo many villagers left, it's be really early for STB to bull**** us like that and essentially get themselves to be tomorrows lynch if wrong...

plus, LIS, how does your theory explain the night time wolf kills? I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, cause 1 lucky muon trap or plasma rifle or ghostbusters fine, but 2? Luckiest damn ghost busters ever. Well, except that two of them are dead, and those are durable mother ****ers... meaning that the wolves found out who they were and really wanted them dead... which is worrisome... I have a concern, but need more time and information to gather...

Oh, and there is an item that randomly moves you to a different borough... that's how I was moved (transdimensional portal)... maybe I'll go to a nets game... I miss the garden already though
 
Hmmm.. I am confused.

If WTF is a baddie (whatever they are) then I am also outed, as I spilled all last night.

Hard to argue with firm evidence though...

lynch WTF

I also believe there is more than one role stealing ability out there.

If they were automatically killed dead then why would the mods say killed, killed, and killed dead. There must be a certain weapon you have to use against a ghost to destroy it. Like it has to be in a tank and have the beam use on it or something.

Click to expand...

said that, and then only 1 actual kill, a ghostbuster... so there might have been some killing action on some ghosts, or some villagers turned into ghosts, but nothing shared by the mods... so I think there is stuff that goes on in the background as far as human to ghost killings

when they are posted on the forum as dead, that person is definitely dead (until resurrected like Cuit)... whether or not the character (Zuul for example) is out of the game or not, I don't know, but I want to say yes
 
Some solid info?? Glad I went to sleep for a little while.

This is in reply to a PM I received but can no longer respond to:

I have not yet done what was requested due to no fault of my own, but the event is already in motion!
 
An interesting lynch round. Players were slow to start, perhaps they're having a bad week, or they didn't drink their caffeine or they're so deeply mourning the loss of another GB that they can only mumble half-heartedly about who the culprit could be.

Finally, Stb steps forward, a little timidly. "I had the Ghost Tank - it trapped WTF- Vinz Clortho, the keymaster of Gozer" (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080626015741/ghostbusters/images/0/09/Zuul_Roars_at_Dana.JPG) - too large to spam mythread!!

WTF adamantly denies such claims. "Your info is faulty, my role was stolen, I-"

Everyone, like a good bandwagon should, ignores her attempts at innocence. In some gruesome way, you have eliminated a ghost who could die only by lynch. :claps:

as I said, these wolves we have captured, hopefully are dead...
 
Good job Stb!!! I'm just a little baffled at how many red characters that are already deaf with it only being night 5... How many more could there be??
 
Sorry I missed again... the past 24 hours have been like this:

-I am sure you have leukemia...

to confirming that I don't... thank dog... still don't feel great, but I'll get over it.


Good job with WTF!!! :woot: I would have voted that way as well.

As far as my info from the PKE meter, I am still thinking about it... it does not say the player can "kill" but it does use "attack" but the end result is not death... and looking up the character shows that they were against the ghostbusters so not sure about the role.. perhaps a chaos type thing? I don't know.
 
Sorry I missed this lynch. Keep thinking it is in PDT.

Yay for getting a wolf!

3 questions are pretty urgent for me to figure out.....

1) Do we know if there is really such a thing as a good ghost in this game, or should we assume for the most part that ghost = bad?

2) Do we think the ghosts are all independent entities that are not working together? (i.e. no wolf pack)

3) Is it possible the ghosts don't know they are baddies.

I think the answer to #3 is yes. For some reason I seem to think the ghosts don't realize they are the baddies... just my gut, but I could be wrong. They are not acting like wolves do when they are caught.

I also think the answer to #2 is yes. That might explain why some ghosts are killed in day sessions, although there seem to be enough items to explain that as well. Also, more ghosts with less communication would be a nice balance...

I am not sure about #1. I think some people are ghosts and think they are good but don't know they aren't. It makes it tricky because they will act completely like a villager, because that is what they believe. I am tempted to lynch someone who says they are a good ghost just to see. I used to think ghost was not necessarily bad, but believe that less and less each round.

FWIW: Foxhunter's post that she thinks this is a reverse game makes me think she thinks she is a good ghost. And I know Devyn thinks she is a good ghost. I think short of another choice, we should lynch one of them and see what happens on the screen (unless they claim to have some amazing ability).

LIS and myself both confided in WTF FYI.
 
Stb1473 said:
Woo! Thanks for believing in me, guys!

How many red guys are there in a normal ww game?
Click to expand...

normally there is one wolf for every 4-6 players depending on the balance of the game, conversion powers etc. I usually go 1 for every 5-6 players. Lounge games I found had fewer wolves in the past, not sure how that is evolving.

As I mentioned above, I think this game has a lot more wolves, and that could be due to their lack of communication, or the multiple ways we have to discover and kill them.
 
2nd message to the person who PM'ed me.

I just re-read my role message and I think the person it is done to will become a villager.....I think it really makes sense to make sure we only do this to ghosts. Can you please confirm they are a ghost? The process is already in motion, but it is not too late to stop it.

A fair point.

But the stay puff marshmallow man is not a ghost, or evil by himself (or no less than any horny sailor in NYC looking to get laid). Only when brought to life by gozer (or whatever) was he bad. ...

that would be the silliest WW game ever... no offense.... but how would that even work - how would a villager with a villager role act as a baddie???? 😕

now you have a creative mind, but that makes no sense to me....


and how may I ask is silencing a villager role?🙄

just wondering.....


seems you do a lot of accusing then taking it back once you realize you are wrong - hence LIS.... or mayhaps you are a wolf trying to deflect on us.... I dunno.....

I was not wrong on LIS.... he was not completely human that night as the investigation said ... we have since figured out what happened.
 
DVMDream said:
Correct, but it is NOT limited to ghosts....
Click to expand...
not sure about that to be honest, since as far as I know, it has never been tried. it is a limited ability.

blah blah blah.....

In case it isn't completely obvious.... and since WTF knew about it...

I am the vampire who is a ghost hunter.
I do silence.
If I choose someone twice, they become a villager with no role. and I get their role.
I can only do it twice.
I have been in contact with DocE.. he gave me someone who he thought I should try my role on, although I have not completed doing it yet.

I am not a ghost, nor evil.

I have certainly tried to confuse people into thinking they were wolves when they weren't (WWildlife). And actually the humans were the wolves in WWildlife and they didn't know it... they thought they were villagers.

And as part of the silence in Dr. Who, we weren't sure if we were wolves or not.

So it is not that much of a leap to believe kaydubs is doing that. She did say she was trying something different.


And I have definitely not concluded that is true... I am looking for other people's opinions, which is why I posed them as questions. I honestly don't know.
