Werewolf 2 Lurker Thread: Spoilers!

[Mardoc]

It seems like a lot of the ways to break the game or make it unbalanced come down to someone having perfect knowledge for one reason or another - quoting PM's, seers, etc. What do people think of removing perfect knowledge, by design? Say the wolves don't get to know who each other are beforehand, the seer has a 75% chance to be right, all PMs are posted publicly before the game starts - maybe even the kills and baner only work 80% of the time? Probably the only thing that people would know for certain is the affiliation of those killed.

Would that improve the game, or just degenerate into even more walls of text and name-calling?

[Bobchillingworth]

The latter. Plus the wolves get their great advantage from being an "informed minority"- difficult to be informed when you don't even know who your allies are.

Alright, so I'm dead.

Absolute biggest bad thing about this game?

I start the game. I get a villager role PM. I think, oh, I'll go nominate myself for mayor. Maybe kickstart some fuss. Should be fun. It's not like I'll really be risking anything big.

Then some people in the thread complain about the devil role.

Fire And Ice promptly changes my role from Villager to Devil, right after I've made a big fuss about nominating myself for mayor.

I immediately dropped the campaigning plan. Tried to drop to a lower profile and seem sensible, while trying to avoid attracting attention to a sudden volte face. I still get voted in mayor.

So yeah. Nominating myself for mayor as the devil would have been insane. That is why I didn't do it!

OOOOOOOOHHHHH THAT MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE!

I was going crazy trying to figure out why on earth you'd run for mayor if you were the devil. As an ordinary wolf that might be OK, and as "the posessed" it would be great, but for the devil it just made zero sense.

I guess that's why you had to vote for Sandover- to prove your innocence, right?

well anyway it seems like the villagers pretty much have this in the bag now, unless the wolves can guess who the owl is.

[fire&ice]

This is who got scanned no names cause I don't feal like it.

Werewolves - MJW (ofc)
Seer - villager
owl - somone who stayed put
banned - was planing on somone who was not targeted but was banned tonight

[luddite]

I have to say I don't like how you've handled this situation with MJW, Fire&Ice. Taking away his baner save and letting him be killed just because he merged two posts together a long time ago? That seems like severly punishing all the villagers just because one player broke the rules in a really minor way.

[MJW (ya that one)]

I'm offically spoiler. F&I would have to find a replacement if he changes his mind.

Luddite: I said to post it in the thread.

Even though its too harsh I need to point out that he roleblocked me write after the edit.

1. Luddite is dead so he can't post there.
2. If he did post that there, it would ensure your death.

[fire&ice]

I sent him the message immediatly after he did his edit so while it may have been long ago but that was 72 hours(duh 48 stupid me) previously and i did give him a chance to change his plan in tread.

Right when the night phase turned into the day phase

I was refering to this thread. But F&I just ignored it. If he mods another game I will question his choices directly in the thread if I chose to question them at all.
