Werewolves of Ireland - Game Thread

Members do not see this ad.

Can someone please clarify: is it generally frowned upon to talk about mechanics in any game? Why do people get annoyed when it happens? Isn't the point of a game to figure out the mechanics so you can solve it? Or is right now just too early to discuss it and that's why it's annoying? Idk if "annoying" is the right word to describe it, I'm just going off of Mel's reaction.

For me, it's just too frequent a distraction from tone/analysis solving. I don't mind it in moderation, but if I only see mechanics discussion alone on thread, I rarely see anything but mislynches and stagnant information.

 

[Ms Procrastinator]

Why nevermind?

Personally I just don't like pming in any game.

I saw Barks' post and realized that the person above has to PM the person below them. I think technically you're above Mel.

~~~~~~~~
Further clarification on communication:

The baseline level of communication (available to all players) is initiated in one direction: "down". That means that each player is able to open a PM with the one player in their Province below them on the roster.

Think of the Provinces as loops -- the last person in a Province is "above" the first person in that same Province.

For example: In a 5-person province, Player 1 can open a PM with Player 2, and Player 5 can open a PM with Player 1, but Player 2 cannot open the PM with Player 1, nor can they open a PM with Player 4 or 5.

Therefore, unless you possess some other communication mechanism, you will be able to open a maximum of 1 PM and talk with a maximum of 2 people at one time (provided the person above you opens a PM). Movement will disrupt this communication.

If there is any remaining confusion, please let me know ASAP so I can answer for all players.

Sláinte!

Interesting that Stagg decides to toss out a random joke vote on D2 as opposed to simply not voting.

Interesting that you decided to point this out seeing as you know I've done this before as a villager. Sketch points for you for that shade.

You're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say Meats was sketchy or that I didn't like that she didn't vote.
I'm asking you to look at the whole picture. 4 "treasures" were given out. This is different than a mayor vote. Wolves would have benefitted from putting one person forward to at least try to nab a treasure. Yes mayors are sometimes looked into early game but with 4 "mayors" there's no indication that all 4 of them would be looked into the first few nights. The fact that there were no votes moved around tells me that the wolves were okay with how things shook out.

and that makes me nervous.

This is assuming votes could be moved. Pippy posted that the clans had spoken for my group well before close, so it's possible votes could not have been moved. Interesting point though

I'm going to lynch stagg as hes been a little antagonistic/fluffy posting

😵

I'm going to chalk this up to you having played minimally with me, but I've said numerous times I don't think much is gained from pre-lynch days until a few days later, and Idk where I've been antagonistic (if you think I am, just wait, lol).

You did that in D2 before?

You did that in D2 before?

I've done that on D2's where we hadn't had an actual lynch vote yet. Yes.

@Doggo Labs , I'd like to hear anything from our true noob.

Strange since I don't recall that hence why I felt it was odd. D1 joke votes when nothing happened before are common and NAI.

Hmm seems like mutty voted meaty.

 

[Animal Midwife]

@muttmanager Can you like this post?

 

[Lawpy]

I love these

Grebes seemed very defensive, too quickly.
MPM randomly defended a Barks mayor vote - Mel commented on this too which just confuses me more on how I should lean her post

Well I just found out that I’m working today when my roommate woke me up like “WTF we have to go”

Oops

So... won’t be on today like I thought I could be.

###lynch mpm###

Her posts are giving me similar vibes to underwwear.
Will maybe be able to check in again before closing, depending on what time were able to get off work. But in case not, wanted to let y’all know.

I'm feeling a

Lynch mutts

did a lot of agreeing with other people yesterday

Hmm these are pretty interesting posts. Seems like mutty was having weird/sketch feelings for greby and petmoosy, and greby voted petmoosy for having weird vibes. But barky voted mutty for agreeing too much?

These interactions are a bit odd so wanting to crack this puzzle.​

 

[Crayola227]

Why are these people on your watchlist?

 

[Lawpy]

I'm going to go with

Lynch petmoosy

For now

 

[Animal Midwife]

Okay, are you suspecting anyone at the moment?

 

[Crayola227]

@Crayola227 what put VMH on this list? everyone else I get.

@Mad Jack How do you feel about the 4 people who were voted to be champions and the way the votes shook out? @allieh8607 same question.

@WildZoo You think grebes' vote is warranted?

@mypetmoose how do you feel about stagg and mutts?

 

[Ms Procrastinator]

For now:

Unlynch Sporty
Lynch Doggo

@Doggo Labs , I'd like to hear anything from our true noob.

Has noob even posted?

 

[Stagg737]

They posted once and on re-read has liked several posts. Hence, why I'd like to actually hear something from them.

Got anything on the people your more familiar with?

 

[Crayola227]

lynch Lawper

the shade he's thrown feels a bit opportunistic somehow

I could waffle

PST close? 6 pm?

I feel you think my posts are opportunistic in past games honestly so this vote really doesn't surprise me.

8 pm. What shade are you referring to and how does it feel opportunistic?

 

[Melchizedek]

Why nevermind?

Personally I just don't like pming in any game.

I was given an item called the Salmon of KNOWLEDGE.
Do I really have to spell out why its beneficial you open a line of communication with me?

are you being obtuse on purpose?

It's embarrassing how much I was just struggling with this time conversion

perhaps I should have said manufactured shade

I dunno, I read one of his posts about Stagg and that was my thought so I went with it

No. Due to busy-ness, plus it wouldn't hurt me to learn to put less time into WW, I'm not doing PbPa. The downside, is that whenever I have a feeling about a post, instead of remembering anything detailed at all whatsoever, the only thing my brain may or may not file away, is a vague feeling of suspicion. Writing out my thought processes in live time as I read is generally how I consolidate my memory on the game, or else create something of a record of a my thoughts. Just gonna have to trudge through in the dark this time. It'll be interesting to see if I can still pick out wolves though.

 

[Stagg737]

yes

Why would you not want to know that knowledge 😵

 

[sheltermed]

Why would you not want to know that knowledge 😵

because he could easily be screwing with me. since when are YOU this naive?

 

[sheltermed]

also @Crayola227 I wish you'd still go through and like posts because I'm so close to a 1:1 post to like ratio!!!!

edit: and thank you for calling me gorgeous I was completely flattered

 

[Stagg737]

I'm not, but having an extra data point is never a bad thing. It's up to you to decide how to interpret it.

Haven't we been through this the last game?

 

[Barkley13]

@Lawper are you ignoring my question?

 

[Barkley13]

yes

why am I the only one worthy of your knowledge

Because each person can only talk to two people and he already opened a PM with me? Why are you trying to make him look sketchy?

 

[Stagg737]

Why is dolphin villagery and Lawpy and Barks near/in the sketch category?

I'm typically pretty good at reading dolphin and nothing she's done so far pings me as off for her.

Barks seemed to be making seemingly helpful but obvious contributions early and partially just feelz. Though I'd actually flip-flop barks and Cubs on that list. Lawpy threw shade at me for an early joke vote (which is normal) and it was his first actual contribution to the game. Seems to be throwing shade/shrugging things off oddly. Also feelz. I'd prefer not to vote there yet since he's a leader, but he's on that list.

 

[Stagg737]

Haven't we been through this the last game?

? Remind me...

 

[JustPaws]

I’m not sure but I’m guessing she’s missing for today

@Animal Midwife I'm rereading. Why did you give me grief for saying missing when barks said it first thing this am?

 

[JustPaws]

I guess I need to go back and look at the timeline. A lot of the voting took place before roles had even gone out, so in my opinion much of the posts and votes are NAI.

Did you go back and look?

 

[mypetmoose]

yes

why am I the only one worthy of your knowledge

Maybe just with it for now? It can't hurt you to know more if he is willing to tell you. But uh, maybe don't make him say it here...

 

[sheltermed]

this is WW

everyone is sketchy

 

[Ms Procrastinator]

? Remind me...

People put me in the idk or the wolf section without probable cause

 

[mypetmoose]

People put me in the idk or the wolf section without probable cause

But we don't know... its okay to be neutral ya know, contribute more and we will have probable cause

 

[JustPaws]

You're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say Meats was sketchy or that I didn't like that she didn't vote.

My bad

I'd prefer not to vote there yet since he's a leader, but he's on that list.

I haven't been able to glean much off her strategy-wise outside of the post asking whether meats was on and joke around with me about my vote on her. Am I missing something?

@Animal Midwife I'm rereading. Why did you give me grief for saying missing when barks said it first thing this am?

I did?

 

[Barkley13]

Since it looks like she was able to cast a vote off thread I'm guessing she really can't talk today so

Unlynch mutts

You're new lol that makes you sketchy until proven otherwise lol
