WW26: The Masquerade [Game Thread]

I didn't get a last name in my pm

[Know-Nothing Jon]

I also received a last name, but I don't think it matters.

Same here.

Everything about Lady Elizabeth's posts scream MJW. His talk about fractions, just to mention one thing. I've never seen anyone else confuse the words faction and fraction. It's one of his hallmarks.

But who cares. Why do you want to debate it?

My thoughts exactly.

I re-read my role-PM and the only other piece of information is that I was given a last name. Do you think this matters at all guys?

Yes, it most definitely matters. If it didn't, it would have been included in your profile name. There has to be a reason why it is hidden.

Expanding on this, it seems any last names are tied to our roles. We are all called by our first name, nick name, or both. Any last name received would be interchangeable, and they were received specifically in a role-PM. Last names might yet play a part in this game. They might be used by a role or multiple roles, or they could be part of other gameplay at some point. Whatever it is, there's no need to start guessing. Unless someone has more information, they are no help to us, and should be ignored.

Muriel the slow for a wall of text that is huge, says nothing and tries to project an innocent aura.

Creating paranoia and then shuffling it away?

[Doctor Saul]

Well, that took all of half a dozen posts to devolve into meta arguments. Bravo.

I find agreement with Know-Nothing Jon. Lady Elizabeth almost seemed to be casting a net with her posts, and raked in a fresh catch of eager votes. Are they wolves? It does not take cunning to accuse statements like hers, so I will drink from my glass and decide for now that it is eagerness and nerves getting the better of honest intentions.

I do not like the way you lead on here, Muriel. You hint of a connection between names and powers, as if you are looking to invite discussion between the two, and then brush it away as if stepping back from the brink. Muriel The Slow, for a nickname like yours you seem to lay out a trap with some cunning

[Doctor Saul]

I don't want to play as a female character so I switched my avatar to Courage. Please call me that.

Elizabeth, my dear. If you are looking for ways out of your gender, I may know of a procedure that can help you become the man you always wanted to be. But it is not exactly, shall we say ethical, in this time and age

[Half-Nose Harry]

Meta speculation right out of the gate it seems.

I do mean that post.

I see your point. There is no way for a wolf to know that a villager's role PM talks about werewolfs. (I think brick would post a sample PM in the thread rather than giving it to the wolfs).

Are you claiming vanilla town?

Do you truly believe that the last names or lack thereof matters, or are you just trying to wind him/her up more?

Sir Percival, for being more influential than me.

How exactly is Muriel's post a wall of text? It's 2 paragraphs, and ~10 lines on my screen. Seems an entirely appropriate length for a mildly elaborate "hey idiots, stop analysing useless meta" post.

Lacking a surname here as well.
