It's my strategy to pay more attention early on to the quiet ones and let the talkers do their thing. After some time passes, you can then read more into each side of the spectrum. That said, I try not to waste my vote on people who are simply behaving instinctively.

"I'm going to lay low." And you blew chunks when I pointed it out. lynch Buck Nekid

Never reveal is anti-village. The main appeal to an anonymous game is that it negates kill choices based on reputation. This means revealing after dead doesn't do much to help the wolves. However, it does a ton to help the village since we get to go back over the players' posts with knowledge of who they are, how they think, etc.

My guess is the wolves would have figured this out and wanted to push for "never reveal" since it helps them, but it seems everybody and their moms have jumped on that wagon...

BTW Baud, it was pretty obvious you were Aznchx regardless of what anybody said about you.

I have a hard time thinking you actually believe this. It could be that you take pride in stupidity, but it should be pretty obvious that it makes a huge difference when you know who made what posts. Especially since the wolves don't know who they were when they chose the nom

sup

did i miss much?

The wolves will know who isn't left.

ok wolves would want to know who's who so they know who to nom

that's pretty fucking obvious

oh wait they won't nom dead people

duck fail

who gives a fuck if it's pro village or pro wolf to out people when they die?

it's probably close enough that it's reasonable that a villager or wolf might come to the wrong conclusion, and therefore i'm not gonna consider it alignment inidicative

They won't since they don't know all of those playing. If they did, it doesn't matter. Nomming based on rep isn't all it's cracked up to be. I'd invite the possibility that the wolves would screw up their noms by thinking they have an advantage by knowing who is left

It's not like it matters now since I guess Baud said limit was already reached. Let me just be on the record that I think revealing only after the whole game is over is a major boon to the wolves. Wolves win when the village is a chicken running around with its head cut off. Not knowing players upon death helps that

Take a minute.

stop bickering about the reveal

i don't give a fuck if it helps the wolves to not reveal, even though i don't think it does

we have an advantage anyway, still, even with baudib being modkilled

talk about my shoryuken vote

ill stick with aguapurificada for now but if anyone wants to start a duckwagon im on board.

this.

this is a wolf, who has seen a vocal villager point the finger at another vocal villager, and sniffs a piece of mislynch bait. and when aznchicks flips villager, well i look worse because it was my words that helped the lynch.

suck it ciggie. i know where i'm going. and i know where you're going. you're on a one way flight to vigville.

Forgive me for assuming you were making a better argument than this one. This one is basically admitting that it's a big deal to know who the dead roles are, which is my point

Besides, the wolves would only know more roles by a +2. I don't favor throwing away the strong value in knowing who said what for this meager, virtually worthless "advantage"

is this helping either of you find wolves?

Note: It appears that some players are still experiencing posting limitations. There was a spam thread made in the WW village to get people past their limits early and i encourage everyone under 10 posts to try to get to that limit by EOD Thursday.

If there are still major issues on Friday, I will consider extending the deadline into the wee hours of Saturday, especially if the vote is very close.

first of all this is crap. we both have very different avatars, and subconciously that is what you'll remember. i'm the giant rubber duckie, twatduck is the stupid cartoon duck. noone is getting us confused, not even you.

what's more, if you feel strongly about this, then you should not be voting for the one who picked the name first, because you're effectively punishing me for something totally out of my control.

ok so far i have shoryuken and gravyhog as wolves

lynch ciggie for being a toxic presence. i think he's a villager but he's getting on my tits and i don't give a fuck if we mislynch him. and maybe i'm wrong and he's a wolf. that would be a bonus.

Agreed...I can take hard knocks like the rest but Cig Butt is completely out of bounds. There's no need for this!

RESCIND AQUA

LYNCH CIG BUTT

lynch duck

i'm out of bounds too, voting because he's getting on my tits is not productive nor is it playing the game in the right spirit.

if he wants to be a twat, his choice. i choose not to be a twat.

rescind

i need to read the last day when i'm not tired. maybe ciggie is onto something with this exchange with ducksucks. i hadn't really considered that, i was just annoyed that the whole thing about voting for reveals was getting so much discussion. i don't see how it's helpful. but maybe i am being blind, idk. i'll reassess tomorrow.

even though it's just gone midday here in nz.

What would he be onto? You already agreed with his position and we weren't discussing who we think are wolves.

This is like the sixth or so weird thing you've said. That early aarrroo is enough to kill you. I've just been trying to figure out if you would bother caring that it was a stupid thing to post

So I guess here's my theory, if you were a villager you would have just posted "quack", but if you're a wolf you thought from the wolf perspective and thought it would be funny to say "aarrooo, i mean quack". If you were a villager, why would you even think to say "aarrooo"? If you're a villager, wouldn't you think "man if I say 'arrooo' it's gonna make me look really bad'" then just decide to not do it?

rescind shoryuken lynch duck

New posters will be limited to 5 posts per day until they reach 10 posts total. At least 2 players are under 10 posts, so once again, please try to get to 10 by the end of Thursday. Thanks.

We definitely have a majority on "Never reveal"

Gaston cares not for the drama llamas going on. Lets lynch a none poster and be done with it.

Vote count:
FYI, I'm not sure I'll be posting running vote counts this often all game, but I'll try to keep up for now. Rescinded votes in parens:

3 aguapurificada -- alargeprimate, gaston, (buck nekid), moarcowbell
2 cigarette butt -- quadrospazz , buck nekid. (duck)
2 duck -- gravyhog, (darkwingduck), ducksucks
2 ducksucks -- shoryuken, Cigarette butt
1 alargeprimate -- aguapurificada
1 lynchpelion -- taint
1 moarcowbell -- lynchpelion
0 gravyhog -- (cigarette butt)
0 shoryuken -- (ducksucks), (duck)

Let me know if there are any mistakes

thanks for playing. rescind moarcowbell and lynch gaston

just looked over the thread. rescind Gaston and lynch darkwingduck

The story:

They were all there on Friday night, as they had gathered for years. The routine had given them much-needed structure in their lives. The circle had grown over time, from a handful to a dozen or so. Occasionally, a member would stop coming, sometimes they had made a real recovery and moved on to productive, happier lives. Others were less lucky, and quickly relapsed and either returned to the safety of the group. A few had met an unfortunate and all too predictable fate. Those were never heard from again.

In recent months, the group had been infiltrated. It was the ultimate betrayal of trust: The sweet and innocent members of Gamblers Anonymous had been targeted by a small group of sick, degenerate poker players. On the outside they looked the same, and some even loved to gamble, but at heart they were really analytical, math-oriented creatures looking to prey on the more trusting members of society.


Horrified, the gamblers vowed to purge their once-pure community clean of the card sharks. Wolves, they called them.


Unfortunately for the innocent gamblers, they had already fallen into the wolves' trap: After the GA meeting, the group agreed to play a friendly home game: two tables of No Limit Texas Hold'em and pot-limit Omaha. The gambling addicts were wary at first, but assured by the sick poker players that this was a game of skill, they reasoned that it wouldn't violate the program by playing a friendly game of cards.


What they didn't know was the real stakes: not money, but their very souls.

Deadline in 24 hours. 8 votes to lynch.

Hey Shoryuken, what do you make of the Duck vs Ducksucks vs Cig butt storm above?

I'm not sure it makes a big difference either way, I just voted never reveal because I think it's more fun. Besides, even if never reveal does work out more favorable to the wolves then it just brings a little more balance to the 12v3 setup.

Yup, similar avatars are more confusing than similar names. Gravyhog, what are your thoughts on alargeprimate? The rilla name and wuf avatar must be rustling your subconscious jimmies a bit.

nope, because i don't really give a flying fuck if people think it's wolfy or not.

what's interesting though is this... you've dropped shoryuken for me

so please clarify

do you know think shoryuken is a villager

or do you think i was attempting to throw him under the bus by pointing out his wolfiness

or do you not care if your wolf reads correlate?

know = now

why would a wolf try to muster up support for a lynch that is never going to happen?

not sure about this guy anymore.

accuses taint of not adding value with a post that i found agreeable

Dangerous assumption that the wolves figured out baudib that quick. Even looking back at it now it's not super obvious, could easily be missed in the heat of battle.

I'm liking duck and ducksucks as villagers right now.

i've just read through the ducksucks and ciggie bickering and i think both are villagers

and yeah i'm not gonna town shoryuken all game now based on that, but i'm less confident in my wolf read on him as a result of him pushing aznchicks at that time

lynch gravyhog

rescind lynchpelion, lynch gravyhog

to ram home the point that avatar, not alias, is the dominant subconcious influence, i've been tricked into thinking that wuf has account slipped on more than one occasion. i doubt i'm the only one.

Right so never reveal is the winner. No need to talk about it anymore, just gives wolfies something to say.

Same here, that avatar with the different posting style is a bit of a mind fuck.

aguapurificada doesn't have much at this point.

Nice story setup baudmod.

i want to lynch cig. its day 1 so its not that important... sure he might be a wolf. the negativity is just too lame. it seems like others are being harsher on people than they normally would on their main account

rescind and lynch cigarette butt

i have no idea who is playing but its way better for the longevity of FTR werewolf to not have people acting like Cig. hes probably a wolf the average % so lynching him is fine on day 1


anyone who believes the day 1 banter matters so much that they feel they have to forcefully get their opinions out by calling someone "mouth breathing retard" is not good for the village and i dont like it

we need to be civil. people will become lynch targets for the wrong reasons if the village isnt all cool

Lynch gravy hog

this is a weird post. as far as i can tell, at the time of this post, there already is a duck wagon.

why you dithering?

I have received a complaint via PM and the parties were addressed. Since there's continuing discussion, I will address it here so that everyone understands:

Keep in mind that this format is experimental and a bit trying for all of us. Discussions can and will get heated at times, that's the nature of WW.

That said, please remain civil. Attacking someone's logic and posting style is legitimate, but please refrain from gratuitous insults.

No one wants mods involved in the discussion, so cut it out, people.

mommy mommy he said something mean

*slap* who fucking cares, grow a pair



personally i think this is the most interesting d1 we've had in a long time

i am not feeling a gravyhog lynch, however Darkwing continues to just jump on the bandwagon of the moment without providing any reasoning so I am sticking with him as the day 1 lynch we should be targeting.

About a half day (IRL) left, so it's crunch time.
I'm not seeing an outright solid wolf yet and a soulread on d1 is redonkulous.
DUCK is by far the highest poster and therefore an easy target for lazy wolf hunters but seems to be a solid villager to me.
CIGBUTT is the next high poster and despite his offensive style seems to be solid wolf hunting.
DUKSUX, DARKWING, GASTON, TAINT, COWBELL, LYNCH are contributing well but haven't tipped their hand IMO.

These are single-digit posters that I'm hoping will step up play--
QUADRO: 9 posts but contributes to discussion
GRAVY: 8 posts contributing to discussion
SHORYUKAN: 6 posts with half/half value
PRIMY: 7 posts with near zero contribution to village
AQUAPURE: 3 posts with near zero contribution to village

Non-contributors are either wolves in waiting or a drag on the village.
If PRIMY & AQUA don't start supporting the village soon, then I'd suggest a bandwagon on one of these (lacking a solid wolf stink from someone else of course).

I like this analysis and village cannot afford to let non posters slide, especially in a game where past history is not available.

funny post about non-participants. at the time you made it I had one more post in this thread than you.

I'm also curious what your contributions have been so far aside from this stellar day 1 break down in which you list post counts and vague summaries of people's actions. my one contribution so far has been to get a bandwagon going on aquapure who is already obviously going to be a bad villager or wolf. so far you've hopped on two bandwagons (one of them being mine aquapure one) and haven't offered anything yourself.
