My posting will be much less than normal. I don't want none of youse guyses shit about how I'm not wufing
Yeah yeah who cares I'm lynching you d1 whatever happens. I'm sick of lynching baudib d1, and besides his mom asked me to be nice to him and I'm not arguing with baudib's mom.
Sigh wuf ur mom just told me to be nice to you too.
Oh and she wants you to call her. Leave it an hour though please.
Something tells me I'm going to really enjoy playing this game... looking forward to it!
Oh god i hope i'm not cursed. i don't recall ever getting nommed... although wolves tried last game.
I'd like to be seer for once
bid is seer every time, just doesnt realize it
I will play this game and by play i mean post cat pictures and go awol for 3 weeks. But IN!!!!
Lucky wuf.
in if this starts in a week or more.
that's why
Im in. I'll be drastically changing my argumentative style. Its time to start lawyering in ww.

I want my tic tac, luco
I was Ser Bronn (odd-night vig) in a 69-player GoT mash and got night killed. I took out Khaleesi (alpha wolf) though.
so i'm free to in
Alpha wolf Khaleesi is fucking awesome. Great tie in to the theme and a really cool game mechanic. Epic.
yeah the game is epic. there were at least 4 wolf factions (Baratheons, Starks, Targaryens, Wildings) and a neutral party (Others), lost wolves who can be converted to villagers (Arya, Sansa).
It feels a bit icky but the Lannisters and their "allies" are the villagers.
i'm gonna be in santa fe nov. 21 - dec. 2 and so my posting will be uber minimal during that period. it will be on the minimal side for the most part regardless. that being said, throw this deadweight bitch on the list.
Is there a link to that got game? Sounds epic
Oh yeah you'll read a game from another site that doesn't matter, but you'll lolcat games here.
That reads more serious than intended.
I'm probably gonna bigred my way through this game in all fairness.
i'll be up for lynching baudib day one and leading a mob on some innocent villager on day 2.
That's irrespective of whether i'm wolf or villager obviously.

How do people feel about the seer having a lookup on n0?
Each game day is 13 hours, thread closes for an 11-hour night.
So typically a handful of people will be almost always on, keeping track of significant developments, making charts of who killed who/when/how (there are in thread attacks and "events" daily).
when a significant wolf flips, there's some rereading for spew but really, a lot is missed. no one is rereading the thread a lot. it's more like a chatroom than a forum thread. for instance, I got killed by a faction and 8 hours later, most people forgot it even existed. it's rough for the village but there's a ton of W on W violence too.
have you pm'd gator jyms gabe etc or any of the people in the thread at the top of the WW forum for people who wwant to be notified.
It's not my playing, is it yours?Quote:
How the fuck do people remember whose playing?
What's the point in w-w violence if noone remembers who killed who? I think optimal strategy in a game like that is to shamelessly buddy up to the wolves and use your numbers.Quote:
it's rough for the village but there's a ton of W on W violence too.
On-In
yeah , bigred is a pain in the arse when he spams the thread.
My feelings are
1) On sites that do this, there are generally a large number of games constantly running. So the flaw of 2) is deminished.
2) When the seer binks, the game may be over for one player before they even got a chance to play. Thats only if the seer outs, but still.
Im kinda meh on it, because optimal wolf strategy at that point is to play from day1 assuming one of them is caught.
there's an easy fix for this, make the n0 lookup a randomized villager.
it's the way it's handled in turbos where i play.
it makes D1 a lot more interesting IMO.
the game i talked about where we killed 2 wolves in our first 2 chances and then almost lost was one where the seer binked. I thought he should have held onto it longer, but he left his lookup in an ambiguous way that he could have done as a vanilla.
It was pretty interesting because the wolves realized he was the seer but the villagers didn't take it seriously, we just barely lynched the guy because he went AFK (full anti-spew). I caught another wolf when he started talking about the first guy being "a peeked wolf" and vigged him.
but yeah it put the wolves in a shitty spot.
I forgot, obv theres the whole "it makes the seer stronger --> village stronger --> fucks with balance" stuff too
not going to detail it but
in games that are based almost entirely on seer cover
as a wolf i was alive for 5 nights over 2 games and we blocked or killed a village special all 5 nights; these were games with a true n0 lookup. Not gonna lie, i was largely responsible for all of them. Also we had two wolves considered lock clear because of weaknesses in the system.
smart wolf teams can exploit it because lolwillagers
i posted 700 times in 72 hours (3 game days) as a wolf
i was top poster, not by a lot (several people were doing 200 per day)
Hate n0 lookup. WTF are you looking up? Nothing, because nobody has done nothing so far
ur dumb wuf
Look at all you nerds and your analysis. NERDS. WW is about feels and lolcats and intuition and more cats.
The whole start of the game is poorly constructed. The first action in the game is the villagers string someone up, because - ummm. Why?
It would do a whole lot for the plot of the game if some hypothetical villager (the mod) was nommed on n0.
Having a n0 special isn't any more of a weird beginning than having the village just randomly lynch someone for no reason on d1, anyway.

Oh yeah... I had another dream about our previous game last night. Apparently, you all have midwest American accents.
If I can't get away from FTR WW in my sleep, I may as well join in. At least I can get my obligatory shame-lynch for last game in early.
Story telling is hard yo.
like 90% of D1 talk is about the EV of lynching inactives, or lynching people based off what they did in past games.
if you give the seer an action n0, it gives potentially everyone something to do.
Not here it doesnt. Here we'd get to speculate on which of Gabe/rilla got looked up, and which one of their "im quiet day 1" strategies is wolfier.
Granted, we shouldnt be wasting time talking about inactives day 1. But there also isnt really a good way to go about doing day1...especially when we've all figured out that just being quieter means your less noticeable, and then baudib gets lynched.
Gabe/Rilla are probably terrible n0 lookups, plus it could just be a random villager lookup.
if somebody told me they could play +ev on n0 i would call bullshit. if you can't bold, you ain't playin yet
Pretty sure wuf's mom was bolded on n0.
If you want to do that, I like the innocent child role for that much better.
Have we started yet? I have a 3 day attention span.
lynch hoopy
bigred, a regular troll, was modkilled day 0.
great we started ....hoopy shaping up to be a great mod
I haven't got a midwest American accent. Your dreams are stupid mojo. I have a Brummie accent. Here's a famous Brummie presenting a tv programme that just happens to have on it a beautiful poker player being a bitch.
n0 seer lookup sucks. What info does that give to anyone on d1 who isn't the seer?
the possibilities for both teams are far more complex than you can imagine.
for one example, let's say seer peeks Big Red v. Big Red hasn't even posted yet and people are pushing him for a lynch.
Two players say they don't like lynching BR, and gently nudge other wagons forward as alternatives.
The possibility that Big Red is a peeked villager adds a new dynamic to the game with many new possible lines for both sides.
just so you guys know, I'm going to give myself the role of seer/vig/tracker. every night i will submit 3 actions based on those roles and let Hoopy sort it out.
You have a game show called Golden Balls, in which the point of the game is sit face to face with someone and bluff the living shit out of them. Then you choose the winner by those 2 people comparing their balls.
So much meta.
The suggested Nash Equilibrium is to choose steal. If both have chosen steal, then neither can improve by unilaterally switching to split. However, since they don't lose by the switch, it's a bit different than a typical "Faustian Bargain".
The guy nails it in this vid where he takes the line, "I'm going to steal. There's nothing to do about it. If you pick steal, then neither gets anything at all. If you pick split, then I win... and I will split some (half) of the money with you. Trust me. I'm going to steal." This puts the decision on the other person as having advantage to playing split, where playing steal is a clear loss. This line breaks the flaw presented by the pseudo-Faustian bargain wide open.
Just need 3 more people to start this. I'll probably start the game after the weekend so everyone is around.
