Game Rules

• The entire game is one game day only. There is only 1 voting/lynch phase, but more than 1 player may die. (See Deaths and Win Conditions below)
• For the purpose of some game mechanics, players are sitting in a "circle". The player list posted at the beginning of the game will represent the order in which they're sitting. Some roles are dependent on relative positions within the circle.
• Voting is done privately. Voting can be announced ITT but the only votes that will count at the end of the game is whatever you PM me.
• Wolves do NOT have Wolfchat
• Any two adjacent players can 'Whisper' together. Both parties must agree, and must PM the mod with their intentions to whisper. Once confirmed by the Mod ITT, parties are free to use "outside communication" for the duration of the game. The Mod will confirm by announcing the two players that have engaged in Whispering in the game thread.

Complete Role list. Be sure to read your role carefully:

Team Townsfolk Roles:

Villager: Can appoint a ringleader. Ringleader gets an extra vote. All Villagers must agree on a Ringleader or none will be appointed. (Activate)

Watcher: Can learn two possible roles for a single player, one true and one false. (Activate)
Tracker: Can listen for Wolves on one half of the table. Tracker "leans" to one side and will hear if there is a "growl" (read: at least 1 wolf) to his/her left or right. The range reaches 3 players in a 6/7 player game, and 4 in an 8 player game. (Activate)
Saint: The Saint learns the identity of a Wolf at the start of the game. However, if all of the Wolves vote for the Saint at the end of the game, the Townsfolk lose. (Passive)

Astrologer: The Astrologer looks to the stars and learns of a Role that is definitely in play. (Passive)
Drifter: The Drifter knows of two roles that are not in the game. (Passive)

k g'ahead

here

Oh haaaiiiii

Randed bad team again eh donnie?

sup hommies

a few thoughts:

in game 2, when the wolves were openly lolcatting, the villagers could have won by just all voting for one of the two wolves (ianaww and someone else I think) that was a pretty big blunder imo

we probably shouldn't be whispering this game, since there is no houndsman

Villagers did win game 2 tho

hmmm, I thought that was the game they lost.
N/m.

Carry on.

Posting from phone. Will have more in 30 mins or so.

Stuck says we're missing a fundamental mechanic thing. I think everyone should claim and then we can figure out from there. All villagers and Saint claim villa+saint. No one fake covers or posts saint peek.

Once roles are claimed, gossip and tracker can post info if no cross claim.

Gives lol wolves 25-33% chance likely of finding saint, if there is one, but then still need to all vote for that person. And with all that additional info for village we should be good.

not a fan of any of these openings

I'm fine with this, but I don't actually think this really helps us?

Not this time thankfully, shyts too much work. Though I have been randing wolf a lot lately.

So do we know anything specifically about a 6 person setup? Like 1 wolf and 1 TC or something weird like that?

I'm fine with claiming, and I'm also curious about this mech strat that Stuck says we're missing. I'm too lolbad to happen upon it organically, doe

Aren't you like 4 and 0 in this game? lol

I'm never sure what people expect from openings.

For instance, yesterday I tried to make something out of jm3 making a post about a thread discussion prior to making an entrance/saying hi. Which in reality was totally a BS read, I was just looking for something to latch on to.

Yours was mostly the hi, and then not posting after others had posted

I'm ready to lock my vote in on IRTM though

I rise and fall on the backs of others, ldo

Figuring out mechanical advantages is not something I'm good at. Figuring out some FPS play and getting lucky is something I can do.

Strange, and game losing.

But I'm listening anyway.

As a wise tiger once told me

"vast tonal gulf"

yeah, 9am open is when I'm walking into work. 8am open I have the subway ride in to post.

What are your thoughts on housenuts suggestion to claim?

Welp, I'm not a wolf.
So vote me if you wish at your own detriment.
