Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the World Series of Werewolf™ ("WSoWW™") brought to you by DB305 and CPHoya.

This is Game 1.C of the inaugural WSoWW™ 2012 Season.

This game is a 13-player game.

Be aware that the WSoWW™ will consist of 12 games or sets of games. In every game the statistical performance of each player will be tracked in at least 37 categories. We have designed achievements which you may unlock as a result of your performance in the league games. We have designed a method of tracking Player Effectiveness Ratings (PER) that, though more arbitrary than the models used in other contexts where databases of accurate data are readily available, will be utilized to estimate the effectiveness of each player.

Good luck, and may your stats make you proud . . . or amuse everyone.

And finally, welcome to the the inaugural WORLD SERIES OF WEREWOLF!

IT IS DAY.

KruZe and hotwings in the same game is pretty amazing

larry you still around? Firsting and then not interacting with the next person to enter the thread raises little alarm bells in my mind. I don't believe we've ever played together, and I've heard you're pretty experienced, and I assume that means you're relatively decent at least. Anything general you care to tell me about your game?

I'm also excited to play with Perdition again; his "less is more" wolf game the last time I played with him was pretty impressive (and infuriating) to watch after I was NK'd . . . I think I can read him a bit better than rand, although admittedly my sample size is pretty small.

Sup thread?

As I promised Hoya a while back all of my reads in this game will be solidly evidence backed reads and come with a full explanation - I will not even say the "t word"

I'm also looking forward to seeing what kind of stats that the mods have come up with

Sup thread

Why'd you promise him that you wouldn't tone read? I find it to be quite useful with a decent subset of the WW population.

Sup.

Ehh. Tone reads can be important for d1 and for players you are familiar with. I feel unknowns require more interactions and game mechanicy things to be read properly in most cases.

Nice xpost Monte. I know I've played one or two games with you. I wanna say the smokers game and anniversary?

I am not going to discuss this any further than I already have except to say that the "evidence" I will consider includes presumed state of mind when making posts, comparisons to previous games individuals have played as different roles, and general things that in my opinion tend to make people more likely to be either villagers or wolves

In short I am going to be using an extremely expansive definition of the word "evidence" in this game

I didn't play anniversary, but I'm pretty sure our paths have crossed before. I haven't played a game for quite a while though, due to forum outages and irl stuff, but as I recall you were relatively new when we played? I'm not positive, but smokers sounds right to me.

Can you refresh my memory on your overall 2p2 WW experience level? My recollection is that you're relatively new, but I certainly could be mistaken.

And having said that I think I'll go do what little work I actually have to do today

So you in actuality are tone reading, just calling it something different? I guess if you're going to lawyer anyone, CPHoya is the one to do it to

Mornin, peeps!

To be fair Hoya was the one who initially said that all of those things were actually evidence based reads - I'm just adopting his terminology

Hoya

I've only played with a tiny bit of the folks here so looking forward to some variety.

wat

While I know nothing about Montecore and am pretty sure that I've never played with him before I believe that this post was made with a villagery mindset thus Montecore earns my first official village lean

That game we played was like my 4th game. Ive played prob 12 normal games and 20 turbos by now. I've been very active and feel both my villa and wolf games are pretty solid.
