WW27 Game Thread: Once there were 12

[MJW (ya that one)]

10 minutes before lynch...

[Jowy]

Azza's game is odd. He wanted to lynch CH and said he'd only switch off him if CH showed he can contribute. Most of us seem to think he hasn't shown that, but Azza is now voting Mattimeo. Understandable if he had grave reasons to switch, but he did not tell us those if he did. If CH rolls wolf that will give us a hint that Azza might be another.

I said it before, but I still don't like the policy lynch. It's punishing bad play. We are supposed to catch wolves, not punish bad play. It's of course different if someone we know to be a good and active player only posts 4 times and has bad gameplay, but it is CH's first game here. Granted this is Day 1, so at least here the odds of catching a wolf off a no-read is not significantly lower than catching a wolf off a wolf-read, since we have so little to go with.

I will say that there are examples of first-time wolfs not posting at all during the first day. The first example that comes to mind is Molach were I was a wolf with him. So I think you feel that C.Hero is a decent lynch but Azza would be better. That seems very plausible because of Azza's style. Is that true?

3 minutes left or so.

The 12 gathered and deliberated throughout the long day. They knew that there must be a death by the day's end, and that they held eachother's lives in their hands. Though some of the 12 argued against lynching that day, the Admin had declared it so; there was a werewolf infestation, and the only way to cleanse an infestation was final. The 12 debated and argued and even slung a few accusations, and almost everyone received a vote to die at some point during the day, the plurality finally decided on the newcomer, classical_hero. They hung him at dusk.

classical_hero was lynched. He was a 2-shot village doctor.

In case it isn't clear, you can all post, and classical_hero, you get one, non-game influencing farewell post.

[novice]

Thanks for playing, Classical Hero, and sorry for lynching you.

[Gazglum]

There is a sorrowful atmosphere at the Glum's breakfast table this morning. Farewell classical hero. Like Hector and Achilles, you fall before your time.

I still don't understand why Gaz made it look like Qg was not joking and voted for Qg, but then later admitted that he knew Qg was joking. Why try to get him lynched under false pretenses?

I said he was reminding us of old grievances, which is true, even if it was done with a joke post and not a wall-of-text. There's nothing false about it. And since there were only 15 posts at the time, there wasn't a lot else to go on. Saying that my first vote of the game, afterwards explained and moved, was a serious lynch threat on Q's life is a bit of a reach.

I had forgotten Azarius played in the masquerade. Our Observations must have been breaking down a bit towards the end there.

[Mattimeo]

Well, we're good at this whole 'welcoming the new people' thing, aren't we...

[Qgqqqqq]

Thanks for playing classical_hero, sorry you got hit like that.

Jowy himself had brought those up, by saying that he wasn't going to be doing anything odd this game. Zak (I think) also joke voted him for that. I don't see what is suspicious about bringing up old grievances in a tongue and cheek way - you'll see it in half the games here, like pindicater voting Lewwyn and so on. I joked about it and dismissed it, I don't see anything scummy to that. I do think your jumping on it weird though, admittedly quite an early tell.

In a big game, I would agree with you. But we only get three mislynchs here, and classical_hero had behaved suspiciously and shown no inclination to contribute or even read the thread, so I still think it was better then lynching someone like you or MJW.
