Interesting thought, tin foil hat idea, what if the game starts low on wolves/zombies and the number increases as we lynch? Could be RNG if they rez zombie vs new survivor?

Super tinfoil hat theory, the zombies are the good guys, the humans are the last vestige of a bygone world that should fall away into the past as a new world order takes over and zombies become the dominant form of life on Earth. 😛

This was sorta the idea in "I am legend," not so much the Will Smith movie but more the book it was based on. That might have been vampires instead.

Yes, cuz while infected you are still alive, just sick and dying, and as soon as you are dead you become a zombie. If i'm remembering right, the zombieness was like a virus, the survivors just happened to be immune to the initial infection/"turning" but would turn into a zombie if they died whether bitten or not.

I don't want to spoil the show for people, but basically if you are bit by a zombie and it isn't amputated, there is no cure, and when you die from the bite you are for sure coming back as a zombie. The only way to kill a zombie or prevent that from happening is a headshot.

That's really all you *need* to know, and I can't imagine the greater twist to all this is needed to know for this game or it would be a bit of a spoiler on the part of the mods.

Everyone is ALREADY infected! One reason the title "The Walking Dead" has more than one meaning. Even if you are not bit, if you die from any cause that is not a headshot, you will come back a zombie. Being bit by a zombie just ensures your death and ultimate conversion. So when someone is bit, anyone that gives a damn about you will hang around and put you out of your misery so you don't come back

So are you saying you are village but a zombie? Or are you a human that is wolf and not sure if the villagers are zombies? Cuz your own role should eliminate this theory.

Lol, I put that in a spoiler box. That was one of the earliest and biggest WTF moments that made it totally unlike any other zombie thing I've seen...

oops. it was from season one so i figured if people hadn't watched yet, they weren't likely to. figured more important to know for the game?

I'm just being silly about meta-analysis of the zombie takeover of the world.

For the game, I definitely think it's worth thinking about what role infection and zombification play in all this. In the show, the zombies are just a backdrop threat that drives what is a human drama. I suspect that here as well.

Fair enough. I think it covers our bases to know that bite = zombification unless headshot. Headshot = only way to kill/prevent zombie. That's pretty common zombie more.

The title "The Walking Dead" is soooooo cool 😏

I agree, esp because of this from the intro:

My guess is that anyone can become a zombie, no matter the role. hence my tin foil from s couple pages back.
 
A few things..
1) you guys ..as a few of you pointed out...are totally misreading my comment, I was reminding people not to out that they have an ability just to correct me if I am wrong that there are no fixed abilities. Not sure how noob some of the you I don’t recognize are...but I have seen people do this.
2). If there are no abilities, then we can talk roles until we are blue in the face...it won’t matter, so there is nothing wrong here.
3). If this is an item game, everyone should disclose what they had and what they did with it as soon as they lose the item. Remember passing info on is crucial. Keeping it to yourself helps no one...just wait until you lose it so you aren’t targeted, if wolves are unsure if we can find out who had an item, then may be forced to reveal themselves....or catch them in a lie later.
4). I feel strongly this is a roleless game. If mods rng’ed roles, I would be disappointed. That seems lame. Items makes a lot of sense though I have seen none,

You can be infected without being a zombie yet. Have to die first to come back as a zombie.

Thing is technically everyone is infected... If you die, you're gonna come back unless steps are taken to prevent it. It's just that being bitten hastens the whole dying thing.
 
Anything coming back from the dead is bad. I think we have to lynch the dead, or have another way to kill them. There could be an item to kill the dead, but I wouldn’t take any chances till we know for sure,

Well if KCKcomes back with a role tonight, if she really dies as she stated, then we'll know if there's a role.

Because SOV claiming Vanillager, and KC soft claiming Daryl just helps wolves narrow down who they'd like to take out on mere suspicion of abilities. I'm of the opinion that Vanillagers should help keep the smokescreen up and make it confusing for wolves, not make it easier by claiming.

KC soft claiming Daryl and then being targetted for infection/kill/whatever last night makes me want to think she's village. However write up doesn't say anything about KC dying or her affiliation, just infected, so I'm not ready to call her village until I know for sure.


Okay I'll have to defer to others on this one, I haven't played with SOV and don't know if taunting is his style, but I read that comment from him in a different tone.


In a game where the mod is calling for blood outside of the people tied? Yes.
In this game? I'm less opposed if we know we're not unnecessarily risking the death of two villagers. (Meaning we have strong and equal justification that both should be lynched)
Click to expand...

Mel, normally I would agree with you on being cagey about needing items... except so far, it doesn't seem like there's any PM'ing allowed, and perhaps items get RNG'd, but perhaps the reason people are asking for them is because they're not getting RNG'd....

I'm starting to wonder if this is like the show TWD, where working together with what little weaponry you have is the only way to combat the wolf/human/zombie whatever threats there are. And hunt squirrels to eat.

I didn't really think about KC's affiliation not coming up with her being bit. Thinking about that is starting to hurt my brain as far as mechanics, but I think it's worth thinking about. We don't know what if any action we need to take on WM or KC given what we know of the mechanics so far.

Not seeing where the mod was calling for blood outside of the people tied.... we were told that no one would be punished touching a tie.

As far as the SOV comment, I mean, sure, you can read it innocently enough, but I mean... c'mon, really, that didn't raise any eyebrows for you?

I'm really wondering at the players that seem to want to shut down village working together on this, when it seems like it's the only way to go. It sorta reminds me of the Rehab game that way.
 
dpmd said:
Seems like that might be too obvious. Just like the fact that kc was announced as infected makes it seem like too obvious a lynch target. So I guess the question is how crafty are these mods and would they be devious enough to make something seem too obvious to be right but end up being right anyway?
Click to expand...

I like this thought, but hasn't it come up that it's really against village balance to make them have to do too much re-lynching of the same players in the hunt to catch wolves? Since it slows them down. Unless the wolves also have impediments to the rate at which they're killing...
 
My thoughts/info:
1. I surmised based on role description that arrows would be good for me. I ask for some on thread, thinking it was bold but perhaps bold enough to hold off wolves from killing me. That plus SOV's agreement with my item-heavy theory.
2. Morning results in PM and on thread: I was attacked and infected. PM clarified it meant I would die at lynch close. Later PM back and forth between mods means maybe I won't die at lynch close cuz reasons. Either way, it should be noted (and obvious but maybe just to me) that I was the victim of whoever does bad **** at night which is typically the wolf faction. Make of that what you will.
3. If lynch targets come back as wolves and wolf targets take an extra cycle to die... not quite balanced but this game might go on a bit longer than what we'd expect based on numbers
4. Whoever said something about whether or not I have a role... yes? Pretty sure I was straight up outed for my role in the write up... I'm Daryl. Redneck motorcycle riding BAMF. Or something. Carries a crossbow, requires arrows.
5. Have a strange feeling that the wolf pack is small, and totally flying under the radar at the moment.

Will be back later with reads. Have to go play with some hounds first 😀

Maybe there will be a way to save the infected later on in the game, or if they are bitten where it can be amputated they will be ok.

Because when I can't decide, I'm gonna default to the player I've heard the least from
Click to expand...
Would also like to hear from @SnowshoeDog143 and @SportPonies
Implied they would check in this afternoon/evening after CPR class and after doing taxes respectively sp would hope that is soon?
 
I don't really get where the confusion is coming from regarding role names and role abilities. There are both in this game. I was told someone stared deep into my soul last night so there's at least that, plus people asking for items which to me means that they are either related to another item or an ability.
 
So I've caught up on thread and given my thoughts. I need to go do stuff and then I can come back and meditate on who I'm voting for.

I've got feelz on a lot of players, but I feel like I'm either being confused by mechanics, or that I'm really going to have to use those as well and not overly rely on feelz to make good choices.

My goal is to drop that vote and my other feelz/thoughts before 4 PST when my friend gets back.

Did your night results sound like the person staring into your soul was good, bad or neither good nor bad? I don’t want the exact wording, but I’m speculating based on what you wrote above.

Normally yes...but you have to respect The source material. It is the whole premise of the show. Zombies bad. Maybe I am wrong, but I don’t see how any good comes of leaving them around,

If you guys disagree, we can wait..but I am afraid they infect more people,exponentially, but then how do we kill wolves?

How do we know she's a zombie though? Also, lynching is what led to this in the first place. Couldn't lynching again have a similar effect?

This is why i speculated that maybe the rez was RNG'ed either wolf or new villager. The good guys bump into new people all the time on the show. I'm wondering if the lynched player is a d3 roll: actually dead, becomes a wolf (and may or may not keep their character), stays village (gets new character? like they bumped into this new person on the road)?

And how would you propose someone do something like this? "Nah bro, there definitely are fixed power roles. I definitely don't have one, but I would know because...?????"

It's paradoxical.

Neither good nor bad, unfortunately. I've said all I can without saying the exact wording but there wasn't much more info included.

Well, someone getting wolf killed and then having a delayed death a la KC is an impediment to kill rate. There are likely also other impediments here based on information that has already been shared.
