The WWatering Hole Bar Grand Opening - Game Thread.

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Now I want to drink it!!!

If you're in the States you have access to some really top rated stuff that I can't get in Australia. If you want to support local distilleries, look up 'Vilya Spirits' and 'Delaware Phoenix Distillery'. Also I highly recommend any of the Jade Combier Absinthes (Eduoard 72 and PF 1901 are firm favourites); if you can't source them locally then absinthes.com is highly recommend as a point of purchase.
 
Why lynch 2 villagers? I'm still pissed about people targeting me and PBC just because we were wolves last game.
I didn't read or play the last game, so, not the reason for my vote. Would have been nice if PBC offered a better defense than "I'm vanilla!"

Is anyone Absinthe in this game? Am I the only person who drinks Absinthe in this game?
It's not like any absinthe made is anything like the stuff that they used to make. I tried to make it myself many years ago prior to it being legal in the US, and well, it was undrinkable.

I've heard of the Delaware Phoenix. Still haven't tried absinthe yet.
 
*Raises hand* ya caught me.

Granted no modern day Absinthe is going to taste like a vintage, seeing as most vintage bottles have had more than a 100 years to mature (although 'L'ancienne' did manage to come close), but bottles of original pre-ban absinthe have been chemically analysed and recreated (the Jade range), plus modern day Absinthe distillers have been creating their own recipes that are still an incredibly tasty modern twist on the more classic taste.

If you're talking about the Thujone level in pre ban Absinthe as well, modern day analysis of surviving samples have shown the Thujone level was nowhere near as high as the fauxsinthe marketeers would have you believe.

Excellent FAQ from the Wormwood Society here: 🙂

FAQ
 
what are the rules on strategy posting after night begins?

It's allowed. The only times you can't post strategy is in between the mods closing lynch/night and the actual write-up.

also, can someone explain this 20 questions business?

Maybe those more familiar with this game can explain... :hungry:
 
Blitzen posts this:



And then when questioned on their suddenly improved game style, changes to this.



That alone reads sketchy to me, like I said, wolf pack advising sketchy.

Yeah, no, I get your point. I just don't see it that way. I don't read it as "being advised by other wolves." Just seems like typical player growing into SDN games. Or even really just same type of approach. I mean, had some of blitzen's moves not been disastrous last game, they'd seem the same this game. It's only hindsight that makes it 'seem' different. It was the same kinda stuff - just happen to make some really bum calls. So what, we've all done it. And we'll all do it again.

That's my read. I'm not saying I'm right and you're wrong. Just saying I disagree on the read.
 
I love when LIS has days off. Waiting for DVMD to post a good chunk again, should be soon.

Yeah, well, I work all day tomorrow and will most likely miss lynch close, so I expect to hear some "Gosh LIS is different today than D1" kinda stuff. Usually do.

I really didn't like the 20 questions nonsense.

contingent lynch genny

Just gonna park my vote there. Don't see any reason at the moment to change it from today.

It's when AM turns into a turd and doesn't want to answer any questions or give any defense and people have to ask her a ridiculous amount of questions to get some sort of half-assed answer out of her because she doesn't want to be helpful or make things easier and it makes me want to lynch her every time even though I was a spectator and not playing.
 
Drunk hydrated Mel Mod post GET YOUR GORRDAM NIGHT ACTIONS IN.
 
Though my dog got a dental and I spent a few hours freaking out about whether he'd be ok under anesthesia because it's an elective procedure and I'd be crushed if there was a complication from an elective procedure. (Just another reason I only work with sick animals - a complication then is more easy to handle.) It was done by a boarded dentist, and I think it amused her to do a prophy dental on a 3-yr-old with no significant pathology. I don't think she does many true *prophys*.

Lmao. This is so me. I think my cat might be getting stomatitis, will probably take her to dental specialist. More than likely, I am being crazy about the "mild increase in redness at the back of her throat"...
 
That's only because you don't know my history with this game and day 1 or 2 deaths.

I knew it was a long day but was still hoping for a write up.

History or not, you should still try to participate early on as you can. Just seems odd to post about being excited people are talking, then not joining in. If you are happy about that, then **** what others think and jump in... yeah, I get you are concerned it *may* get you lynched, but why be concerned about that unless you have something to hide?
 
At least Crayola hasn't done what I did first game, automatically go into table top RP mode and start playing in character. I was a dragon seer with a penchant for shiny objects, I think my first few posts had most people going, 'LOLWUT'?

Lol, I think I remember that... was I playing that game? I think so. Now I don't know... anyway, I could see me going... what the **** is this guy doing?
 
Given that that's your early game history and hasn't been consistent (or even close) in a long time now, don't you think it's time to move past it?

LOTS of new players have that happen to them. You really seem to think it was something focused on you and only you.

Yeah, this. We all have ****ty runs in WW sometimes, pull on the big girl/boy panties and get over it and post and play and have some fun.
 
Hm. I just accused Ceke of the same thing but gave Blitzen a pass. I felt like Blitzen's comments were more committed.

Hm.

Not fond of the "only posted once because I don't have a lot of feels" thing. If every player did that the game would last one page. Go MAKE some feels - challenge someone and see how they respond and what you think of it. Don't wait around for them to spoon feed you.

One page would be much easier to catch up on though.... 🙂
 
Whoa, Trilt just texted me to say roles are out and you guys have already racked up 5 pages.

Crayola sounds like Crayola to me.

Is Finn's participation level a new thing? Remember her being quieter/less proactive in posting elaborate reads, but it's been a long time since I've played.

Oh good, you joined the party, was wondering if you'd post... now waiting to see if STL has posted yet..
 
I voted PBC purely to create a fun early tie knowing things would probably drastically change before the end of the lynch. No good other reason except maybe some residual bitterness from last game. However, I see myself moving my vote to someone who hasn't checked by the time I sign off tonight since I won't be around for the end of the lynch most likely. If they can't grace us with their presence after almost 48 hours of game play, what gives?

I hate these types of votes. I mean, I do get them, but they drive me crazy. Just personal opinion.
 
Hmm, actually I'm going to

Unlynch Genny

Lynch Britzen

Take this as a compliment, but if this is only your second game, you're playing a little too well. It's making me wonder if you have a pack advising you, considering you don't have a manator as far as I know.

I am curious to know how you know a player is "playing too well"? Do you know her reads have picked up wolves? Or is it just in how she is posting them? This just seems like an odd thing to comment on... I dunno, not getting what you are going with here.

Posting style, there just seems to be a quality to it that feels different.
 
I don't get it....Britzen makes one post with their feels (none of which were much different from what several people have already said) and all the sudden they're seen as playing really well?

This too. First she was just copying others. Now she is a miracle noob? Interesting. Is @SummerTheLynx being replaced as the idiot savant?
 
I don't like either of the leaders right now. As far as D1 Lynchburg goes I think both of them typically provide enough to the game to make it worth keeping them around.

Skimmed quickly and one post of Dubz gave me wolf-Dubz feels. I'll quote it later when I read through more carefully. Though that counteracts my logic in part A, at least this time I have feels to go along with it.

Unlunch whoever my placeholder vote was, lynch Dubz

Just quoting this to remind me to find the DubZ post that gave you feels.

I am disappointed that you didn't say: "you have twenty questions to figure out more about the twenty questions, ask away"
 
idk why everyone always thinks noobs are *****s. Like, I'm pretty sure WW experience is not necessarily a prerequisite for independent thought and problem solving.

This is seriously suspicious posting here. We all know noobs are completely clueless who have no independent thoughts and most definitely can not problem solve. Must not leave them alone. 🙂

But what if you are clueless, have no independent thoughts, can't problem solve, but arrive at the correct conclusion?
 
Losing any sort of villager is bad, even if vanilla. Are you just giving up? Or are you going to try and convince us to keep you around once you get off work?? It always sets off flags for me when someone's defense is "I'm just vanilla so it's not a huge loss to lynch me"

I dunno, sometimes arguing even as a villager isn't worth the effort. Have definitely been in that position before.

Come one, come all, to the grand opening of SDN's newest bar; the Watering Hole! The bartenders are hired, stools installed, mixers on their way and we're only days from show time. The only thing missing?

The booze!

_ _ __ ___ ____ ______ __________ ______ ____ ___ __ _ _

Trilt and I will be your bartenders extraordinaire! After spending years traveling the globe, sampling all the finest beer and spirits, tending bar for the rich and famous, and just generally getting drunk hydrated, we have brought our experience and talents to all of you here at SDN! We are slated for our Grand Opening soon, but there's still a lot to finish up before we're ready for opening day. This is where you all come in! As bottles on our shelves, you all are our inventory. You'll be helping us prep for opening day, and hopefully help tone down all the neurotic pre-health students on this site!


But we have a problem....inventory keeps disappearing, property keeps getting damaged, the grill keeps breaking, and all manner of other hi-jinks abound. Help us find out who is trying to keep us from opening, so that we can start serving the masses!

Dead:
Mel’s soul, hopes, and dreams. But what else is new?
So is STL gold a reference to my most recent game, when I pretended to be a leprechaun and had a gold coin ability that did nothing, or an insult towards me being useless.
 
Firing off a random lynch vote the instant voting opens seems wolfish to me.
Lynch Finn.

Is this your first post? Marking/quoting this to check if any other posts by rabbott... this post just stuck out among all the discussion going on at the time. Also a very random vote, I get Day 1 but with two players tied or very close to tied, just seems an odd vote.
 
Phone won't let me multi-quote, so responding and analyzing will have to wait until after lynch because I'm about to leave the house for the night.

Thank you Wubz and Jil for pointing out exactly what I said myself in my own post. What I also said is that the reason I was doing it was because at least in the WZ direction I have feels, whereas I have no feels for PBC or Genny.

Last time I had D1 thoughts of "this seems Wolfy" in regards to WZ I was right, so with nothing else to go on there is no reason for me to not chase those feels today. If I'm wrong that sucks, because yes Dubz contributes a lot to the game. She would be a good rez target for later on, providing we have a rezzer in the game.

Quoting this one too as still no quote or direction to what created these WZ feels.
