WW16: Lurker Thread [SPOILERS]

[zakalwe]

Seems like pure WIFOM territory to me. I doubt Novice will be launched as a lynch candidate today. Eventually, yes, if the wolves can swing a couple of other mislynches first.

New Werewolf metagame: fake post restriction for deep cover.

New Werewolf metagame: fake post restriction for deep cover.

Yeah, based on what's happened with it it seems to be plausible.

1) Those I think are less experienced
[....]
1)
Gaspar
Sareln
Ichabod
Molach
Selrahc
Arromir

So, Selrahc who introduced us at RB to the game, Gaspar & Ichabod who were iirc part of the best perfect wolf win we've had, Sareln who's played in every game and been in a winning wolf time iirc, Molach has been wolf multiple times (and won as wolf too, I think) ... oh Catwalk, you really didn't want to think did you?

(Probably addressed in the game thread, I haven't read any further than that post so far & there's pages more to go, but I just had to giggle at that )

Oh this is unfortunate. The wolves almost did something tonight that would be huge and probably confuse the villagers up good, but then they changed to a "safer" play that won't be quite as entertaining.

I wish I knew why the original target would be better than the number 1 villager.

[Mardoc]

better

Bear in mind that Brick's definition of better is 'most interesting and fun to watch', not necessarily 'good for the mafia'. Zak was a vanilla villager, strong player, no surprise that he died. Some of the other discussed possibilities would have been more interesting to watch, that's all.

All will become clear in time.

[Mardoc]

Dang it, Sareln, will you die already? I want you to play the games *I'm* in, not the ones I'm not. Clearly you should organize your limited free time around my preferences.

[BRickAstley]

I ditched independent thinking a while back. I like the cases against Q and Ichabod (although I think they're highly unlikely to both be wolves, far too indiscreet by Q) and would like to hear their responses to current accusations.

If I were playing, I think this is where I would push for a catwalk policy lynch. Worst case scum, best case a sheeple village who could be herded around like a scum wants him to be.

Also:

I didn't realize how frustrating a game this big would be. Fun, but frustrating - 24 players on day 2 is so chaotic.

Was said in a secret communication. What do you all think about the large size of this game? Either from a player or lurking perspective.

[zakalwe]

Fun, IMO. Although living until the endgame would be a real endurance test. Another day or two would have been nice, though. Unless we swing a perfect early game, it will probably be painful to watch later, when only misguided villagers remain.
