Re: Choir of the Winter Spectres
Also bad luck for the wendigoes that my target actually WAS a wolf.
This was a complete guess on my part. I hadn't sided with either party, I just really needed him dead!
Then I was protected by a trapper while I didn't really care about my own life.
Could have gone either way and was a fun game!

Is that a typo or am I out of date again?

Re: Choir of the Winter Spectres
Yes, I was referring to the Wolf QT when I said that you could view but not post in it. That was just one of he many typos I made during this campaign.
I didn’t really think about it like that. I agree with you, it really didn’t make sense that the villagers could talk over PMs privately but the Wendigoes couldn’t commune over the QT during the day. Another short sight on my part. I need to be much more thoughtful when designing a game like this.
I wouldn’t say that the Necromancer role would be useless if the Ghosts didn’t have to be honest, communication with dead players is still invaluable. Especially if a necromancer contacts another necromancer who died before revealing any results. It’s something worth considering, but I doubt I will run a game under this format again.
I am sure that if I implemented the “interference” and “limited number of contact” rule in the beginning things would have been much more balanced. Even then though, having two trappers might have been too much. It’s hard to tell really, because it certainly would have diminished the power gap between wolf and town, but I don’t think it would have completely leveled the playing field.
Yes, the two trappers and three necromancers was too much power for town. I really should have made a fool seer or fake trapper to better equalize things, like I was originally planning on doing. Too late now though.
I really shouldn’t have allowed ghosts to view other QTs, but I simply thought it made sense story wise for the ghosts to be able to see everything but not act on anything.I do regret it now though because of mechanics. I really should have thought through this rule set more.
I assumed that since Murska’s name ended in “a” that they were a woman. A quick examination of his profile though reveals that he has marked “male” as his gender. That was just a typo on my part again, and not the first one I have made in this game.-

Re: Choir of the Winter Spectres
Well you were acting suspiciously
I thought your and Elenna's exchange was a little too fabricated.
It's possible you would have succeeded on turning it on me, Ex said he liked your reasoning at least, but it was in my best interest to not engage on that level, I think. Let people think I only went hard because of the scry and that you forced my hand to reveal that I'm a seer in order to convince people. It seemed to work based on what Elenna said.
I kinda figured I would die, but looks like flat footed was on the same wavelength the wolves were.
Although the playing field wasn't super even, I don't want to take too much away from the town's play. The power roles played their part well, made good 'guesses', and without an early wolf lynch, we wouldn't have had such an easy time.Szilard has all of those sweet trophies for a reason. Awesome avatar is his handiwork.

Re: Choir of the Winter Spectres
Twas a good game... though I do think I understand why roles that allow people to commune with the dead players usually don't exist. Town basically won once they managed to interrogate the spirit of a dead wendigo. Kinda unbalanced when you think about it.
