SSNL Werewolf - The Grind

... at least that's what people think.

You however know that it is harder than that, it's a grind. Get in 3-6k hands per day, read strategy posts, watch training videos and don't deviate from the standard and winning ABC style no matter how tempting it may be.
22 players wake up with this mindset each day and grind out a solid earn however the grinders (aka villagers) are facing an unexpected threat these days.


There's 8 players amongst you that inspired by watching HSP and having a higher ratio of training videos to hands played want to become the next big thing. They play hands that grinders frown upon, splash around with the splasher and just try to dominate. Because they know that "changing gears" is an important skill at the poker table these LAGs (aka wolves) mix it up enough that it is hard to identify them, especially since all tracking software was banned on this poker site.


Three players are grinders who get coaching (aka seers). They can ask their coach each night (by sending a PM to the moderator) what they think about a certain player's style and will learn their role.

Each day one player is targeted by the majority of players and goes busto (he is lynched and leaves the game). To target a player for lynching put his name in bold at the end of a post.
Each night the reckless style of a LAG will tilt one of the Grinders to tilt away their roll in a HU grudge match (they are nightkilled and leave the game ).

Roles - The following roles are in this games:

1. 22 Grinders (aka villagers) - anyone who is a regular villager is trying to lynch all the wolves during the day, and has no action at night. They win if all the wolves are dead, even if they are dead themselves.
2. 8 LAGs (aka werewolves) - Werewolves talk and vote during the day just as villagers. At night they collectively choose a victim. A werewolf will win if there are as many werewolves as other people remaining in the game and like the villager, it doesn't matter if you are alive or not at the end.
3. 3 Grinders with coaching (aka seers) - During the day the seer talks and votes just like the villagers. At night, a seer is allowed to determine the role of any one townsperson. The seer is on the villager side and has the same winning conditions.

House Rules:
* No talking at night. There is no talking in the thread at night for any reason.
* No talking when dead. Once you are dead, you may make one post with some sort of funny comment, however no strategy content should be included "I knew I had it coming" is ok but "durron and Jared are wolves, look into their voting history" is not. After this post do not post anymore in the thread until the game ends. Dead wolves are dead in wolf chat as well. They may not give any further strategy input.
* Do not post pictures of actual lynchings or make references to racial lynchings. While we're using the term lynching fairly lightly in the context of the game, actual lynching is a rather different matter. Please be respectful of others and don't make inappropriate comments or post inappropriate images.
* Do not talk about the PM you got, specifically how it was worded
* If you have any questions about game dynamics do not post them in the thread, send a PM to the moderator (clowntable)
* You will be modkilled upon the mods choice if you step over the lines of acceptable behaviour. You will also be modkilled if you do not post at least once per day, if you are going to be away for the day PM the moderator to not be modkilled.

It is still night - do not post in this thread untill day is called. Role PMs have not been sent yet, there will be a new post with the final player list once the PMs have gone out

Additional info (copied from other threads, thx OPs):
If something seems like it should not be allowed, it probably isn't.

Betting on the game is strictly forbbiden. Saying something like:" I will bet you XXXX$ that I am not a wolf/ villager" will result in a modkill.

Lying about your role/reads is allowed and encouraged.

Do not edit your posts under any circumstance. If you made a typo, repost the whole thing, and point out what you are fixing. If you post on day 1 and mistakenly give yourself and your whole team away as wolves, just too bad.

Do not give up and decide to vote for yourself. It can be considered angleshootish, and it will definitely make the game less enjoyable for others. Doing this will anger me and will most likely result in a modkill.

Play to win. Villagers win as a group, same with wolves. There is no extra prize for being alive at the end of the game.

Experienced players, be mindful that a lot of players recently have not played many games before. Do not berate them or lose your cool. Just like in poker, players in these games do not all think on the same level. If you are that good, you should be able to adapt to the other players.

Posting too much is entirely possible. Try making posts that advance the game in some way. Low content posting should be kept at a minimum, so that you can reread the thread later on in the game(quite important) without having to wade through too much garbage.

Many villagers will end up getting mislynched. It happens. Do not lose your cool if it is about to happen to you, there is always a new game starting up next week.Remember this is just a game. Play to win, but try to have fun doing it, and make it enjoyable for others by showing respect.

Additional notes:
1) There will be no nightfall on majority untill must lynch is reached. Night will always fall at the designated time.
2)KEEP IN MIND TO NOT EDIT POSTS AND ASK ALL GAMEMECHANICS RELATED QUESTIONS VIA PM (to clowntable).
3) Each seer got a randed peek before the game started. The peek was randed amongst all players.

Good luck and have fun

It is now DAY, wolves are no longer allowed to communicate privately untill night is called. Night will fall at 9PM eastern.

Lets kill off all the mods first, then move on with the game.
Goofy is probably the head of the LAG-pack.

Fair?

Also, over and under on the number of posts I have by the time this thing is over?

In, Goofy is probally too nitty to be team lag.

Wraths Unanimous

if you're a new player, which is most everyone i think, go to post # 31 of this game for some tips

alright peeps LETS DO THIS!!!

Greetings.

[x] villager obv

That was his gameplan all along.

I'm a LAG Grinder who gets coaching.

SHAME on a villager who tries to run GAME on a villager!

i vote: ughualkg******

reason: If he's a wolf, he will survive longer with his difficult, if not impossible to write, name.

Safety first

lynch him!

Modnote: only votes in bold will be counted

G'morning everyone!

Let's not start out on the wrong foot this time IT! I think I can trust you because you didn't lie last game!

I think we should keep a close eye on societymax, he is one sneaky sob!

Oh, and he has a cute sister!

my random number generator tells me to

vote tufat23

fixed my post

Heh, sorry.
Modnote #2: votes in quotes won't count.

To make it easier for me just put the vote in bold on a line by itself at the end of the post. This is not because I'm a nit and want to make you follow my awesome rules. It's because I have to wade through all posts to count the votes so please make it as easy for me to not miss anything as you can.

Thanks

Does not look like a reason, looks like an excuse. Sorry goofy, you gotta wait.

exoendo

This does seem like a wolfy thing to say, however I have a feeling most of these early posters are villa's as wolves don't like to attract attention.

goot morning

pics of said sister?
