Default killer was alpha wolf when not specified. No killer was specified that night, thus it defaulted to DVMD. I think night 3 onwards you guys specified, and it stopped defaulting with DVMD.
As soon as I saw that spying I knew it was WZ. I just didn't want to admit it to myself. I also had strong suspicions early on that WZ was the puppeteer because only she would want to keep me around as a pet- I never really bought the whole "villager rez+wolf curse" thing completely.I definitely thought some of WZ's lines were you...(Yeah, I followed the whole game even though I said I didn't have time to play... Might be a little addicted.)
@lhmhtd Your puppy is adorable!
Yes, you being our minion was a happy surprise 😀 And I wasn't sure what would happen when I rezzed Gwen either. We didn't know she would die if LIS was lynched.
It was a little unbalanced though. Sure you had someone who could watch conversations....but you severely limited villager communication. Which is really important. And you made an unseerable unkillable wolf (that ended up with just 1 lynch avoidance later but still) in a game with under 20 people.
I think a large part of that was the lack of communication between villagers. With only one conversation partner, figuring out who might have been a wolf was damn-near impossible. The wolves just had far too great of an information advantage overall, and the confusion roles thrown in really exacerbated what was already a difficult quandary of who to target for the villagers.
Really? I figured with a proportion of 4.3:1 villagers (when most games end up being 3:1) that it would balance for that. And wolves had NO means of obtaining information. They had no seer on their side. They had just as much limited information as you guys. In fact, the two wolves got paired with roles that wouldn't know anything specifically to keep them in the dark.
That was also the other point. It was supposed to keep the wolves from using the "let's just kick other wolves under the bus and gain credibility" approach. I was trying to make wolves play more collaboratively to try and keep all of themselves alive (at the risk of exposing themselves)
Although I did expect paranoia to get dyachei lynched at some point. But dyachei is too great of a leader to allow that to happen. I feel like most other people in that role would have gotten lynched by day 6/7.
I agree with this partially. I was going off the LIS philosophy that it should be difficult for wolves to win, and a rare occasion. I agree with you that wolves were at a disadvantage this game, as I was intending. I am just surprised that villagers believed they were at a disadvantage tbh....
I'm okay with every game not going down to the last wolf. That happens so often it's not even exciting anymore.
Agreed. But I believed it would be a hindrance to both, but maybe I overestimated the effect it would have on wolves.
I think the only reason it was less of a hindrance to us was because of how lucky we got with converting LIS, and then killing Gwen. We really didn't know anything about anyone's role that the villagers didn't reveal, with the exception that we found out BI's role like, one day earlier. Because otherwise, like DVM said, we were only talking to each other.
@WildZoo was right, it was Romoret.
Wait, you didn't know LIS was a seer? I'm pretty sure we killed you because we thought you would get suspicious of him when he stopped getting results
No, I didn't know. I didn't know my results were anagrams until I was rezzed, so I had no clue what LIS' result even meant. I just knew that the night I was killed was the night I got the message that he had been converted to the necromancer.Wait, you didn't know LIS was a seer? I'm pretty sure we killed you because we thought you would get suspicious of him when he stopped getting results
Lol. So neither of you knew the other was a seer. Priceless.
Well I mean gwen didn't even know she was a seer 😛
I didn't want to assume anything. You could have been feeding me results from someone else. I wasn't sure how STL structured the PMs
Ha, that's true. Poor Gwen.
Two games in a row though. And both times @dyachei didn't believe me 🙁
I believed you this time! 😏
Yup yup, but the exception here is that unlike the LIS situation, the death of MJ would not have resulted in your death, whereas the death of Gwen would have resulted in LIS's death. Also, if you hadn't have converted LIS by night 6, you would not have been able to keep 2 people alive at the same time, and would have had to sacrifice either Gwen or MJ.
Hmm so I guess it didn't matter who we lynched that day, they were both going to die anyway lol
Pretty much, that was part of the irony of it all 😛.
How long did it take you to come up with all of the anagrams?
Not long actually, maybe a few minutes each. I love little puzzles like those 🙂.
*cough*bragaboutit*cough* 😀
I had to choose a conversation number and the conversations to choose from decreased daily
Oh, ok. That's a pretty cool mechanic. Especially since you were able to keep your role quiet for so long.
Im not sure why LIS didn't tell you guys. That's the only reason I came out with it.
He probably forgot, you know, old man that he is. It would have been funny if you had intercepted our conversation a few days earlier, you might have gotten a string of posts where I was talking to myself. DVM was right, it was like 6 posts in a row 😳
