WW 31 Game Thread PARANOIA

[Serdoa]

Also, am I reading BRick's post correctly that scum can use both faction kill and their personal ability on the same night? At least that was the case for Azza, so I assume it's the case for all.

As far as we can tell, yes, they can use both at the same time. I think I mentioned that D1 or D2 already and am happy to see that it is being considered by D6.

Bye bye Rowain, I still think your Serdoa play was bad But well played otherwise.

D1 votes:

Azza: Bob + 5 villagers
Qg: novice, Old Harry, Gazglum, Azarius, Serdoa
Catwalk: Ichabod, spacetyrantxenu, Qg

Bob seems to have decided to bus Azza for town cred. This matches his role exceptionally well, as he obviously didn't care about the communists. No other scum joined him on Azza. Qg was pursued by villagers + novice and Serdoa. I was pursued by 3 fairly suspicious players who are still alive (my interpretation, obviously).

Of the uncleared players who are left, most are less active and less experienced:
Mattimeo
Jowy
sunrise
xenu
Catwalk
Merovech
Ichabod
Qg

This fits a picture of a lurking scum faction who was manipulated by Bob. I'm going to have another look and see who has been pressuring Bob to the point of danger, if anyone. I'm not unhappy with a xenu lynch, but I think that hanging based on overall feel is not enough when we have a lot of data to sift through. The fact that another confirmed villager (Rowain) was highly suspicious of him doesn't help his case any, though.

[Catwalk]

Serdoa, is your spreadsheet updated?

[spacetyrantxenu]

Inconsistent behavior? Lurking? I thought for a minute there I had done something suspicious in the night and you had a good reason for that vote. But nah, Catwalk beat you to the punch.

Last night I scanned Catwalk, skill name Absorption. And I didn't die from scanning him so from his accounting of what the skill does, I didn't try to kill him. So either we're both telliing the truth about the skill (although I can confirm only the name, not what it does) or he still has a confirmed kill power that hadn't been tested/confirmed as defensive in nature. I suppose we'd need a volunteer for that test. Regrettably, I can't do it, not having a kill power myself.

Anyway, one kill last night, it wasn't from me, and so either third party killers held fire, or were blocked, or are all gone and only communist killers remain. One factional kill last night (why would scum hold fire?), Catwalk has a confirmed kill power with an unconfirmed cover story for it, he may be scum.

If you want to vote someone for lurking you could go for Ichabod, his power is apparently out from flooding. Nothing more hard core than claiming a power outage you know.

Tablet post, forgive typos and short sentences.

[Jowy]

Good job Xenu
I don't think we need to test anything more. Lie = scum.

Maybe you wanna explain why you claimed your power is called Paranoia when it is called Absorption? Especially as Absorption actually does sound like a fine name for the role you claimed so I don't get why you would lie about it.

(Well, I see a possibility what could have happened, but I think for now I'll see what happens.)

[Catwalk]

I did not lie about my ability, Xenu is lying about his night results. My best guess is that the communists consider Xenu disposable and want to get a mislynch out of him before he dies.

[Serdoa]

That could actually be, as a mislynch might win them the game. But that would mean that we started with 6 scum. Because then there are 4 left now, and we are currently 10 players. So with one mislynched villager + night-kill (which depending on who is scum might be certain) this game might be over. Not sure because if Mattimeo is not scum villager would have in a 4 vs 4 still the majority, but that's technicalities really.

But honestly, together with all the other stuff we had, if they indeed have 4 scum left, I'm happy to lose the game and just be done with it. Secret factions that we are not told about before it is too late, a mechanic that is suddenly taken away without any hint to it beforehand, roles that are only meant to screw the village and to top that a villager leaving the game early, making it even worse for us. Sorry BRick, but as I told you privately, I don't feel like I play werewolf, I feel I'm being played by your game, however we want to call it. (What isn't meant to indicate that it is bad or anything - because I have no clue before knowing the whole setup - but it is not what I personally expect when I want to play werewolf.)

Ok, back to actual points: xenus posts indicates that he didn't even realize the disparity between your claimed role-name and his result. What at first made me lean towards him, but thinking about it, it actually makes me lean towards catwalk being innocent. I mean who of us has a investigative role, gets a result and isn't even checking if that matches what he was told?

[spacetyrantxenu]

yeah. It was a tablet post, I didn't flip back to find the spreadsheet with all the claimed names. I just thought I remembered the name catwalk said matched the one my scan revealed. Thanks guys, team effort.
