Name: Corncob
Vehicle:
The truck in this picture
Special Weapon: flamethrowers, which happen to also be good for popping corn.

the neutral doesnt seem much like a neutral with the goal to kill Calypso fyi.

Second a three night cool down for changing one person's vote? seems a bit harsh.

Quoted for Truth. The neuutral doesn't have much option but to ally with team good. Also, echoing the cooldown harshness.

Well whoever is Grasshopper basically wins once she does that. So just like the last game, s/he can quit after that is over, or continue playing.

But yes, she is more of a Neutreal/Leaning toward Good.

Her opposite is actually Yellowjacket, who is doing essentially the same thing, except he's looking to join the Wolves.

The reason for the three day cooldown, is because all the wolves, except SweetTooth and Yellowjacket, have powers. That's five powers. And most of them know each other from the beginning. With only Calypso and Yellowjacket starting blind.

The goodguys only have 3 powers. Baner and Seer. With the Masons and an unreliable Seer making 1/2 a power each.


Does it still seam harsh? No, really, I'm asking.

It's harsh for being a pretty weak power with a high cooldown, not team strength wise. But any power is stronger than a normal wolf so I don't think it's anything to complain about.

RP is always encouraged, but never required. Welcome, and if you have any questions at all, speak up!

Though once the game starts, and you have your role, you'll want to direct questions to the narrators by PM, since you won't be able to trust any of us then. Especially Murska.

Mm, just a question. How does one tell who is a wolf/villager, if the only thing we see each night are dead bodies? Are there any clues we can use?

You watch for clues in how people behave, the kinds of stuff they say, the way they voted, whether you catch them in a lie. There are seers who have the ability to see people's roles, but of course if someone claims to be a seer, are they telling the truth? Took me about 4 or 5 games before I started to get a feel for it. And of course I'm still wrong more often than I'm right.
