Also, it's pretty safe to ignore luckay's "I'm a villager cuz if I'm a wolf I'd read the rules, lolol" spazzy crap. Because he'd play that as a wolf or a villager.
wtf swiitch is the villageriest villager to have ever had his very own unicorn bff.

Usually I'd tack on my vote at the end of the post and even give a little reasoning, but dramatic entrances are so much cooler.

The companions/herald dynamic looks really cool. I'm not sure much strategic discussion is needed, or even advisable, at this point, but I have a few thoughts that may be useful. The queen's role has the potential to be less useful than it could be depending on how it's played. If the queen picks a wagon close to night, the problem arises that the player she picked might get lynched, or lead to her exposing herself in trying to save/kill the player. There are ways around this but it depends on villa coordination. One thought I had is that we create a fakewagon early in the day every day with a player for the queen to peek. This player will then be protected from lynch until the queen is dead and his role hopefully revealed. To provide cover for the queen, we could have every player take a guess at the role (ideally guesses between villa/wolf should follow roughly the distribution of villa/wolf in the game) of the fakewagon. Another option is to create a bunch of fakewagons at various points in the day, instead of just one, so the queen can select between a number of candidates and it becomes easier to remain hidden, as well as easier to give cover for regular villagers. The downside to this method as opposed to the first is that it doesn't guarantee live peeks since we can't really protect all the fakewagons from lynching.

Haven't read everything yet, but pretty strong villa vibe from wahoopride initially. Rene started out a little wolfy, but he managed to clear himself reasonably well shortly afterwards. I like cake-baking Luckay as much as anyone else, but he's kinda smothering the thread here. A little less sugar please! He's probably a villager though since he thinks he should be cleared for silly things that no sane players should ever clear him for and various other Luckay-specific tells. Rchandra's opening post was wolfy but he's usually a wolfy villager, he needs to post more than he usually does. Xr8ed is reasonably clear as well. Tao1 could be a wolf, but leaning no for no real reason other than vibe, digger could be a wolf too, but I'm a sucker for cryptic weirdness, so leaning no on him too. Vaya is another one of those wolfy villagers, his first posts gave off that faux helpful vibe that's often associated with wolves, but Vaya should become fairly obvious eventually if he's a villager.

I'm pretty sure the spazmonkey can't be aids-riddled.

This was my reaction too for the first 50 posts. Wahoo asking Luckay about "ranking his games" is somewhat villagery. So Wahoo gets early tiny villa points and as wahoo said Rene has wolfy points.

I promise not tos uck as much in this game as I did in my last. That was embarrassing.

Luckay's probably a villager too btw.

But you'd tend to think a villager would be lesser versed about the rules.
This is so exploitable, good grief. I read the whole write-up before posting. Am I therefore a wolf?

JD, however, is likely not in that camp. His two posts are of the "hey I am here, making "serious" posts, but not really saying anything" variety. Except for a very soft wolf accusation on LL, who has been villagery.

Vote JD.

Wheeee bumbling villager here guys!
Luckay....you are too much.....pretending to NOT read the rules and then saying "after readin the rules"...and then reciting the rules and what you interpret them to be.

However, I too am interested in what you say here. Wouldn't it be easy for the Companions to communicate to us if their choice failed, thus their choice would be an evil? I must be missing something, because I doubt this game is going to be easy. How do you interpret that?

also, apparently the wolves win if they kill all the companions so we have...7 days to win the game? Which means we have to lynch 5 evils in 7 days?

Am I missing something here?
Good question. These 7 people can not be killed, nor can they post in the thread. That's what I get from the instructions. The only way these people can be heard is through their Herald, based on the description of their role?
