Drowlbearwolf I: The Scimitar-Chuck

[flat_footed]

Well in that case GAAD. That's the other half of the mythology gag!

And while we're doing mythology gags, by my random guess there are three (3) drowlbearwolves.

Are you implying that Xihirli is a Gaad?
I... I couldn't resist.

[AvatarVecna]

*le gasp* How could I forget! AvatarVecna, to get my traditional stupidity out the way early.

Also, to play devil's advocate, since this the first game in awhile I've seen where the narrator didn't get killed Night Zero by wolves...maybe there are no wolves?

[norman250]

Well, then I'll D1 vote Ramsus, but Xirhirli rarely gets away with claiming devil, so why should Ramsus?

[ImperatorV]

ImperatorV seems like he's up to something. Wait, we're drow, that's standard.

[Ramsus]

Well, then I'll D1 vote Ramsus, but Xirhirli rarely gets away with claiming devil, so why should Ramsus?

Because I said to not vote for me, obviously! Sheesh. Some people don't pay attention huh?

[Murska]

Ramsus, for voting for the Devil.

[norman250]

Because I said to not vote for me, obviously! Sheesh. Some people don't pay attention huh?

Well, I can't argue with that, seeing as how it's true. ImperatorV, then, seeing as how they continued with a joke which has now been done several times. Might just be an easy way to technically vote D1 while still sliding under the radar.

Lex-Kat, one of the least active people.

[Bobb]

Missed this:

What I meant was that I used a random number generator (random.org) to pick my vote.

Cool. So is your vote for the first round decided randomly and you're done? Or was that just a placeholder?


Eggel. Because of FC's callout. I'm also open to voting FC (callout could be in bad faith) or Ramsus (for obvious reasons).

[Pelican]

@Bobb: The D1 meta round these parts tends to be that several people, often the majority, settle for a random vote for the day. It's not really out of the ordinary and the habit is fairly deeply ingrained. Just something to keep in mind. We usually get a few light wagons and have to draw our conclusions from that the next day.

Incidentally, let's put Bobb in the town pile for now, for genuine (or at least genuine-looking) investment in town's effectiveness.

As for your vote, what about FC's callout is convincing enough for you to vote Eggel? Also what are the obvious reasons for voting Ramsus?

[AvatarVecna]

Also what are the obvious reasons for voting Ramsus?

Ramsus claimed Devil. How seriously you wish to take this claim is a matter of personal opinion.

[flat_footed]

Well, if we're getting rewarded for copying Xi's actions, Ramsus could actually be the Devil.

[Elenna]

Well, if we're getting rewarded for copying Xi's actions, Ramsus could actually be the Devil.

Well, the (first? I don't remember if there was more than one) time Xihirli claimed devil, she was actually a villager.

Feel free to guess whether Ramsus is actually copying that. I think I'll leave that question for now, personally.

[Lex-Kat]

Eggel, because I don't trust Fleeing Coward enough to not vote for Eggel.

Love your logic! Fleeing Coward, because he's my nemesis.

Not sure I follow the logic here.

See, Shadow knows that Fleeing Coward is not to be trusted, a well-earned lesson I'm sure. So Fleeing Coward's non-vote for Eggel, while claiming to be just a villager, makes Shadow rightly more suspicious of Eggel. *nods* Makes perfect sense.

So FC (presumably?) wants Eggel dead. I've gathered FC has a.... reputation for hairbrained schemes and such so is it foolish to say Eggel and FC are probably on opposite teams and therefore a great pair of candidates for lynching?

Fleeing Coward is a devious player that should never be underestimated.

Lex-Kat, one of the least active people.

Yes, vote Lex-Kat! She's the Devil! Not that Ramsus guy. He's obviously just after the gold!

[Kish]

Excellent point. Lex-Kat it is.

[Bobb]

@Pelican. thanks for the run down. I kind of jived that from reading the entirety of the latest duck hunt game and was wondering if black socks was running that play this game. I still am asking BS if their vote is final or not.

For this:

As for your vote, what about FC's callout is convincing enough for you to vote Eggel? Also what are the obvious reasons for voting Ramsus?

Nothing particularly compelling from FC that I would vote for Eggel over him. His lack of an actual vote doesn't help things. I voted for Eggel because Black Socks "random" vote for FC eleven posts after FC's name drop probably wasn't actually random. So I think BS and Eggel are on the same team and FC is not on that team. If Black Socks says he knows FC is wolf or he knows Eggel is town I'd be inclined to switch my vote to FC. Basically trying to force commitment from the 'random' voter.

My original excitement from FC's claim is that I think one of FC and Eggel is definitely a wolf and 50-50 is great odds for getting a wolf turn one.


And yeah, my only reason to vote for Ramsus would be his devil claim. I'd much rather get one of Eggel and FC.

I made a random vote as a placeholder. From my POV, there is not enough evidence yet to lynch anyone. If a convincing argument is made, I will change my vote.

[flat_footed]

"I am the Alpha!" She announced, and the last of the drowlbearwolves who had been created by Dr. Drizz'lstein agreed by cowering.

The Alpha Wolf is a little girl. That does seem to point to Lex-Kat.

So, why is it 50-50 between FC and Eggel? Why does one of them have to be a wolf?

[Ramsus]

that Ramsus guy. He's obviously just after the gold!

Hey now. I was just offering to help out anyone who felt having gold was bad at my own personal expense account

[Bobb]

So, why is it 50-50 between FC and Eggel? Why does one of them have to be a wolf?

Because FC claims Eggel is a wolf.

Either:
1) It's true. Eggel is a wolf.
2) It's false. FC is a wolf.
3) It's false. FC is also not a wolf.



I can explain and believe both 1) and 2) pretty easily.

3) Is harder to understand and explain.

[Kish]

I think the amount of weight you're putting on what shows every sign of having been a joke post, including Fleeing Coward not voting for Eggel himself*, is...well, if I'd ever seen anyone be a wolf in their first game here I'd be voting for you.

*Just in case anyone is thinking in terms of "staying off the wagon to avoid the Beast," check the rules: The Beast's kill will hit a completely random villager. Not having any part in the Beast's death is no protection in this game.

[Bobb]

Thanks for the info.

[AvatarVecna]

Just commenting on this: I was a wolf my first game on this site, and I've noticed at least a couple other people who were as well (including, IIRC, Xihirli). Still, I haven't been around very long, or very often, so it's probably just a small coincidence that I noticed due to not being around very much. Newbie saying they don't see he point of A accusing B of wolfdom when A does not think A or B is a wolf is not necessarily a sign of wolfdom in Newbie, just a sign that they're still kind of inexperienced.

So how do you separate the jokes from the not jokes?

Everyone else who's answered my question about FC's actual intent has told me he is cunning but not that his post meant nothing or was a joke. Avatarvecna challenged FC on his statement as well. What am I not seeing?

I come from a different mafia culture for sure. In my world (in person games) accusing someone of being a wolf is a big deal. An "If I'm lying I'm dying" sort of deal.


I guess I need to adjust to all the audacity here. I'll stand by the FC thing not being a joke though. Did you think it was a joke? I did not get that impression from your question for FC.

[Generic-Guy]

"X is a wolf!" is to be read as "I belive X is a wolf. ^{Trust me, _{i am town.}}"
It is the three step way:
1. Point at someone
2. Say why you point at someone
3. Convince everyone that you are not a wolf yourself

But not this day...
Day one is driven by:
RandomNumberGenerators
-preexisting traditions like 'Mursca is allways a Wolf' or 'Kish hasn't killed a manson jet' or 'Fleeing Coward is more scummy than all wolfs together'
-jokecomments

[Tris]

So how do you separate the jokes from the not jokes?

In this case, it was at the start of day 1 when FC would have no way of knowing who could be a wolf, unless they were a wolf themselves.

I guess I need to adjust to all the audacity here.

It's only day 1. Things will get more serious as the game goes on.

What is a mason network?

[Generic-Guy]

What is a mason network?

There is no manson-network.
It is not for anyone who isn't manson. They all know each other and are knowing that they are no wolfs.
At least in a usuall game. They got from time to time a funny twist, like the brotherhood Banner/Mansons...

The core is: a bunch of people that can trust each other.

[Tris]

It can also include people who the masons know are town.
