Not really...I rationed them out effectively. And yet people still called me wolfy, I was a obvious villager, and was mislynched on D2.

This is unlikely. The picks are certainly going to give us different outcomes. Most likely, the higher risk ones will lead to more good AND bad stuff, or potentially better good stuff stuff and more bad stuff.

Getting the kids seems like the option that would be most interesting/fun to play, with follow on events/opportunities to earn more powers. Maybe no direct benefit, but it opens a path to more things?

sucks this was post 50, quoting for page 2

Can someone with meta on Eric/AriesRam/chocolatte/Mark K/nicholasp speak up briefly as I either don't know them or haven't played with them in many years.

No, I am saying a ()rand kill, which I am assuming anyone killed in the attack will be, has a better chance of hitting on a non-villa than a typical d1 execution. Therefore, embrace the variance, accept that some villas are in fact likely to die, but that on average, the village will be better off because we will have an above-average chance at ending up with a dead wolf.

This only really makes sense in the first part of the game, as the village is at a severe informational disadvantage right now, and it is likely not as much fun for the people who want to actually play, cuz they will kick it sooner, but from a game theory perspective, I believe it is the best. I am willing to be convinced I am wrong though.

I’m a teacher, I’m teaching children math right now. Gtfo.

Fanmail already trying way too hard and trying to force reads on people where they don't belong. We're literally 50 posts in. And somehow you need to have a read on everyone that has posted? Why waste a post asking for who has meta on people that have only posted a few times thus far? Why not just, you know, let them post. And then see if people make reads, have meta, and go from there.

Early kills that don't provide any information, beyond their role a few hours in to day 1, are anti-village (unless we rand really good). We should be reducing variance for these information free kills, probably for the whole game.

Here, villager, huzzah

Fortifying sounds boring, so my vote will be either for option 2 or 3; given so much of the remaining game day will depend on how the vote goes, I'm going to post sparingly until we see what happens with the vote

My guess is that this format is going to make traditional wolf hunting more challenging, so going on quests, winning prizes and actions, and just generally sound mechanical play is going to be necessary. That isn't to say we don't lunch wolfy people, just that villagers being present for events and not potating their night actions is likely even more important than normal

I’m not reading this thread until probably 4pm, I have a job and it requires a lot of attention from 9-3:30pm each week day. Vote me off immediately if that’s a problem for you.

Info on me: this is my fourth game. Modkilled twice. I make a very bad wolf since I don't do well as part of a team. Not sure if there are people who played enough with me to give you any more or better info.

Anybody who's here should declare which option they vote for, I think, at least the first day or 2. It puts some accountability around it. Of course, with the potential for wolves to pick up a trap power, we have to stop doing that relatively soon, but the first day or 2 should be safe.

I went option 2, seems like a good balance of fun story telling opportunities / power potentials / risk

Montecore could be a wolf.
Fanmail and IRTM are villagers. Hopefully someone finds this information useful.

Also leaning towards option 2, mostly for the reasons you cite, but haven't voted yet

Luckily this game is such that I really don't have to bother caring about anyone pushing me, at least not yet, but suffice it to say that I am a villager, and will make myself obviously so, one way or another, to anyone whose brain isn't primarily starch

If you're a villager, hopefully we can work together. Slainte

You seem perturbed that I'm trying hard. And you know that I am a good try hard villager, so this is a bad look. I'm not trying for meta on low posters, but actually people I don't know so I can find a baseline to read from.

You have 2 votes 12 hours before EOD and like 2/3 of the game hasn't even posted yet, and you're getting super defensive about it. Not a good look.

Thanks, Eric. Glad to meet you and play with you. Try to not get modkilled anymore, that's no good for anyone.

how were you modkilled twice, jesus

These seem like oddly inconsistent thoughts here, zurvan. If you want to reduce variance, seems you would choose 1, fortify the base not rescue the children.

FWIW, I am leaning rescue children, but will hear more ideas about it before submitting my vote.

Arizona Standard Time is an unusual time zone. Are we mountain time? Is it pacific time? It's neither. It's its own special time zone. Highly usually-- we don't celebrate DST here. I should be free to post.

You quoted my post, but did you even read my reasoning for picking choice 2? I can only conclude you didn't and are just looking for something to nitpick

I don't know what you'd actually get out of me explaining how to read anyone in that list as opposed to just doing it and saying whether meta is involved or not, but I have a decent read on Chocolatte, as does ladd, if you were looking for sheepable reads later on.

Will probably go for option 2.

Fanmail trusting too many people probably villagery.

Luckbox feels villagery.

I nothing montecore.

72 posts in and people are already going in on each other.

This is my kind of game.

This is your opening post?
I have to burn a post to interact with Shorty here-- but this is how you're choosing to enter the game?

Bad read time:

Shortline making 1 post and it being unproductive/not appearing useful is probably villagery for him.
