WW26: The Masquerade [Game Thread]

sigh just throw the game with stupid meta bs then.

Are we throwing the game? You must be really convinced that LL is scum then? Because of "multiple personalities"!?

This post reeks of desperation. I hope you are not trying to look over-dramatic. You're acting like we've lost the game if we don't lynch Courage on Day 1.

So yeah, that is a complete meta argument which some people hate, but we can't unlearn that info once LL has used it. If you dislike it, don't blame me for pointing it out, blame the GM for not guarding against it.

I went through the exact same reasoning when thinking of that theory. I hate meta, I did not want us to get into it, but I couldn't pass this.

liz is not even who i vote for. point is meta clearance is really really dumb and will lose game down the track

[Lady Elizabeth]

I'll just point out that Widow voted me not for being wolfish but for "not following the rules". So the finger is a very small one. I would only use it if I had no idea who to vote for.

Now that Percvial has shown up I have to think who to vote for. I'm bound to switch off as there are a couple of players with only 1 posts I feel that's worse than what Percvial is doing.

Agreed, but this is only the first day. We will gain more tells from both villagers and wolves 'down the track', and in my opinion those tells are more important than any meta we could do. If he ever does anything suspicious, he will be a lynch contender again.

first day is not excuse bad case

I checked the meta - you guys mean this post right?

I don't want to play as a female character so I switched my avatar to Courage. Please call me that. My role PM shows that there is only one enemy fraction in the game we need to kill (werewolf). But that doesn't mean that there is only two fractions. There could be other roles like Survivor and lynched

If so, I really don't see why this is some massive meta tell in LE favor - all he says is he believes there is only one faction because of his role pm. Well that's fine and dandy but why does it clear him???
I mean, I was presuming this would be a standard one faction game too based off the anonymous feature being enough of a quirk (and Brick said something to that effect somewhere IIRC) and if LE was a wolf that would be known what faction she is anyway so its reasonable to believe that that's what she'd come out and say...
I'm not saying LE is a wolf, just that I don't agree that she is meta cleared.


Also someone said my list was trying to work out timezones - that genuinely wasn't the point and I didnt even think of it till it was said. it was just meant as keeping track of who hadn't checked in as i dont know peoples names as well as usual.

thankyou agnes for showing some brains. not bad for an orphan.

[Agnes The Orphan]

This is what Brick said in the signup thread:

Gameplay will be fairly "standard" as games here go, I'm not going to be mucking about with items or gameplay rule variations or anything, just use mostly traditional powers and let the mask of anonymity be the key 'gimmick' for the game.

so yeah, I would presume one faction base off that, especially if wolf-LE looks at how many fellow wolves she has (remember normally 25% scum) and deduce from that.

thankyou agnes for showing some brains. not bad for an orphan.
