Hi all,
Excited to start another HUSNG werewolf thread. I was hoping the topic would be open already, but because it isn’t, I write my text in Word and copy it to the thread once it opens.
I don’t have a lot of experience, but I’d suggest a couple of strategies that might help the Village to have a decent shot at winning this game. Feel free to comment.
General strategy:
1) Talk a lot, but don’t talk nonsense. The more everybody talks, the more reads they give off, and the easier it gets for the villagers. It’s better to make wrong accusations, than to make none at all. But don’t talk to talk, without content, as it will make it harder to spot the posts that really matter. Better one thought-true post a day, including arguments, questions and a vote, in stead of several no-content posts.
2) Don’t ever discuss who we’re going to kill on another day than today. If we’re stating “tomorrow we’ll kill Player A”, or “if player B is still alive in 3 days, he has to be eliminated”, we’re giving the wolves too much info. They will kill the players who are more or less cleared, and leave us with the players we’re planning to kill.
Seer (protecting) strategy:
I’d ask everybody to post one “seer-read” per day. If we don’t, and only the seer posts his reads, he’ll be eliminated quickly. If we post one seer-read a day, we obtain two results. First of all we protect the seer. Second of all we clear our read. (1) If I post on d1: Player C is a villager, and I get killed that night, than A) I got killed in stead of the seer, which is a great result. And B) Player C is a villager 95% sure. So every night the wolves kill one of us, we have an extra read.
Their counter strategy could be to “clear” one of their own by making a fake seerhunt kill, but that’s one extra night the real seer lives, and a huge advantage for us. Or they could decide to kill a villager that has not posted reads, but than again they let the seer live for one extra night. I don’t think they are willing to take that risk.
PLEASE POST ONE SEER-READ PER DAY.
Negative effect: This also somehow facilitates the wolves, who hunt for the seer, as they can pick people that have been correct every single time. We can counter this in two ways: 1) mostly pick villagers in your seer-reads. They have a better chance of being correct. 2) It’s ok if several people make the same read during a day. Not everybody should have a different read. Both these points should be a bit balanced imo.
This strategy only fails if a couple of villagers decide to follow it, and the rest ignores it!
Voting strategy:
I’d ask everybody to cast 1 vote every day, and do this at least 2 hours before EOD. And in stead of balancing and jumping from wagon to wagon, I propose we ALL choose between the top two voted for. Like we close round 1 of the votes at EOD-2, and we open a 2nd voting round, where you can (and should) only vote for one of the two top-candidates. It forces people to make a choice, and will disregard “safe” votes.
How do you guys feel about this? We can only do this if a big majority is in favour though.

One things I didn't understand though (bolded).
(1) In this situation, you call Player C villa, the wolves kill you thinking your a seer (both logical), but why does that make it sure that Player C is a villager? I feel like this could lead us into a trap, for instance, if I say Player B is a Villa, and I get killed (and player B was a wolf) then isn't this terrible for us to just assume they are villager the whole time?
Also, please remember DO NOT post seer reads today, the seer didn't get a peek on n0, so doing so will just give out info on who is NOT the seer :-p
edit: nm I understand the (1) part, it's cause they wouldn't waste a vote on someone who isn't the seer right? (if they picked a wolf, the wolves would know it was wrong and would never kill them cause they need to focus on hunting the seer)

ok so from what we have to go on poly is pretty villagery so far and firegoat is kinda wolfy imo, obv this is based on only a few posts so its far from concreate, think i remember a reason for not doing the whole fake seer post thing from my last game tho, cant remember specifics of it off the top of my head but ill try look it up and see if there was a valid reason for it or not
def agree with chug on the majority lynch thing tho, they do not help the village at all, we need as much time as possible to be able to wagon/discuss etc. even if we have a solid wolf lean on someone i still think its better to hold off until closer to EOD before you cast your vote
anyways gl everyone hopefully this will be a fun game
