Schoolyard WW - Game Start

[Viera Champion]

Probably Updating when I get up in the morning, might delay a bit to get more votes in.

Missing 6 Votes - Plus cd4 who said he might not be able to get on

Eternal Drifter - 5
Fleeing Coward - 5
Internet Flea - 4
Lil Shiro - 3
Plus some others

A tie? Well I won't allow that. And To show my kindness to fleeing coward, I present this tie breaking RP:

Shiro stuffed a Jacob drawing in his back, and decided to save killing himself for later. He could always just tip the scales out of the likely popular kids way now. So he decided he would attack Eternal Drifter instead.

[TheLaughingMan]

Grrrrr.
Fleeing Coward.

[Fleeing Coward]

Grrrrr.
Fleeing Coward.

This is what I mean. Even with my claim and the subsequent proof I've provided, there's these people with grudges who'd rather lynch a seer over someone who has refused to give any proof of their innocence even in private just because of what's happened in other unrelated games(Yes, I tried to give Eternal Drifter a chance to prove his innocence and all I've been met with is a wall of silence).

If I had stayed silent, I'd probably have 80% of the votes right now.

[Internet Flea]

"So here I am again,
Drifting eternally, without cause, without purpose. A fleeting-
"DRIFTERRRR"
"Dammit."
"I have found you at last, my enemy! Come quietly, and I might not kill you!"
:You do realize that we're in the middle of an elementary school, disguised as children, right?"
"...No matter! I will end you, even if it means having to pay dozens-"
"Hundreds."
"-of therapy bills!"
"Yes, good luck with that."

And with that, he vanished into a puff of smoke.

"...FFFFFFFFFFFFF-"

I'm too tired to think this through, and FC is acting too incompetent () to be a wolf.

So. Care to explain why you're voting for the guy you don't think is a wolf, rather than your nemesis?

[Fleeing Coward]

Because noone trusts me anymore. In fact, sometimes even I don't trust me

[Grag]

Grag looked up from the backstage laptop, and rubbed his eyes for a moment.

"Internet forum werewolf games? I really shouldn't indulge, so nerdy."

He looked at the time, and did a second take. It was late in the day. Really late. "Why didn't I hear the bell?"

Grag slipped out through the side entrance, letting the door lock behind him. The sun was hanging close to the horizon, but students were still milling around. All the classes were over, teachers had gone home for the day, even the track team had completed their practice.

No-one had gone home, though. Had the buses come? No-one knew, or seemed to care. Something was not right, the day would not end, some force was keeping school in session.

Grag wondered absently why he hadn't heard from his parents yet.

See: Joker/Batman

[Inhuman Bot]

I don't think I've voted, so Fleeing Coward?

[Fleeing Coward]

Keep the votes up wolves, you're just exposing yourself by pushing for a last minute lynch against me.

Anatharon, you've already voted against me earlier in the day, why are you voting twice? Are you that desperate to get the seer lynched?

[Odd Fielding]

The way I see it, it's better to risk killing a seer than let a wolf establish himself as one and tell us whatever he wants.

[rakkoon]

Hear hear...unless we're talking about me in another game , then boooh

[HypoSoc]

Also, you might be the fool.

[Fleeing Coward]

Yep, I'm so good as a wolf that I magically knew exactly what the villagers were in a secret roles game...

If there was a fool in this game, another person would have received the same PM as me and would have contacted me by now. The fact no such person has contacted me is enough for me to believe that I'm definately the seer and not a fool.

If that's the best excuses you wolves can come up with to try lynch me then you ain't trying very hard.

[Logarr]

Hmmm... I'm not sure who to vote for, I think i'll go with Eternal Drifter, to keep things interesting.

[rakkoon]

Hows about a Devil then honey? Not too far fetched in a game like this.

[Fleeing Coward]

Definately too farfetched unless you believe me to be a genius that came up with the perfect fake role PM to post

[rakkoon]

Ok, that's proof enough for me, he's the seer

[Fleeing Coward]

Aww, you're supposed to admit I'm a genius and persist with the FC's the devil claim

[Pahvimato]

And here comes my vote:

Eternal Drifter

[Istari]

Day is wrapping up so I'll end it soon.

[Grag]

The busses were starting to line up, but the final bell of the day had not rung yet. Grag wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and understood that a decision had to be made.

Eternal Drifter was being targeted, for reasons he couldn't understand. Internet Flea seemed to bounce between arch-villain and simple hero, depending on the direction of the wind, but someone else seemed to be the true source of discord.

Grag clenched a small slip of paper in his hand, the last two words read "downright wolfish", and the label fit. Fleeing Coward. It had to be.

I'm sorry FC, but you're either a fool or playing a very deep game. If you truly are the seer, then we'll have two people identified with some certainty. If you aren't, then we'll have other answers. I regret having to make this decision. As this is my first game of WW, I can't help second-guessing it.

[Fleeing Coward]

What you said makes no sense Grag. If I get lynched, villagers are back at square one, without a seer. There won't be anyone identified at all so I don't know where you get 2 people identified with some certainty from.

[Grag]

The other option, I would suppose, is we find out whether you're for real based on whether the wolves take you out overnight. I don't want to lynch or protect someone based on your word, because it's useless to me, I can't trust it. I'm sure we have a backup seer somewhere.

[Pahvimato]

There won't be anyone identified

There will, we will know that you were the seer, and thus know we lost this game before it even got started. How about Eternal Drifter? We have no idea about his role, so why risk killing the seer when we can avoid it?

[bruntonspall]

But one would hope that the school "prefect" or protector would be able to protect FC overnight, so the wolves can't take him out - but your vote might just swing it so we'll never find out who any of the wolves are, we'll just have expelled our popular guy and be without his network of friends.

I'm sticking with Eternal Drifter as he hasn't claimed a public role (that I remember) and FC has, we'll know soon enough if FC was lying.

[Fleeing Coward]

You do realise with those words, you've just made yourself the prime target for lynch if Eternal Drifter turns out to be wolf right Grag?

There's not going to be a backup seer in a 20 player game and like I said, it's not just my word, I've publicly posted my role PM - unless I'm a master role forger that's also psychic, I cannot possibly be a wolf at this point.

[Odd Fielding]

Alright, you've swayed me. Changing vote to...Internet Flea.

[Fleeing Coward]

By my count, it's currently:
Eternal Drifer 8
Fleeing Coward 6
Internet Flea 4
No Lynch 1
Pahvimato 1

Anatharon voted against me twice so I didn't count his second vote.

Edit: And I'm off to bed. Wolves, if you want to push the bandwagon against me while I'm unable to defend myself, be my guest. It'd make this game a whole lot easier if you all just exposed yourself in trying to get me lynched

[Grag]

Probably will regret this, but Eternal Drifter

Grag stepped out of line for the bus. He knew he could find another way home that night, and there was work to do.

[Istari]

Ok, looks like we probably have the all the votes in, I'll give it maybe another hour while I start working on the narration
