WW26 Lurker Thread

Yeah, just end it if people are not having fun.

[Old Tom]

bah. i say the game must go on but only because i want to hear the wailing and knashing of teeth.

Listen. some of the duechebaggery seen here pales in comparison to former games. but maybe that's easy for me to say as I'm dead and not emotionally invested anymore.

i still think the masq game is a good idea. maybe just some execution problems and it can be tried again?

[Gaspar]

I stopped following for reasons mentioned earlier but I'd basically say if nobody's having fun, end the game.

We are a little surprised at the apparent level of ill-feeling, it doesn't seem that terrible in thread, apart from the slanging match the other day. We cannot comment on potential rules problems.

Brick, have you received bad vibes from both sides, or just the village? If the wolves are having a really good time in their thread, it would seem a little harsh to end the game based on what we have seen publicly. If the PMs are showing that a lot of people are genuinely unhappy though, then we would agree that it should be ended.

[BRickAstley]

Both sides, and most all of the heavy stuff has been in QTs or PMs which is why you havent seen it.

Well then, unless you receive multiple requests for the game to go on, I'd probably end it.

I don't really get it. I think the masquerade idea was great, and John Gabriel's GIFT shouldn't really apply, because a lot of people's identities are fairly clear anyway, and if they're not yet then they will be in the end. Sad.

There's been a lot of games in quick succession, maybe people are burned out for a bit.

What does 'meta clear' mean?

[Cyneheard]

What does 'meta clear' mean?

"The Narrator would have to have been an idiot to give a wolf this power (at least since we know A, B, and C)" or "A wolf would never have made this play given X, Y, and Z"

Hi, Bert!

[Bert The Bard]

Hi, Bert!

Hi, fancy seeing you here...

I think the issue for me is that its hard to keep track of Sir So-and-so said this and Lady said that, etc. Its too much work to keep track of 20 "new" players. No knock on the setup, just not conducive to lurking.

Yes, this was a problem the first 24 hours, then I started having functioning mental images of the various players. I wouldn't want to play this variant with much more than 20 players though.

Also, anyone here notice a highly important power just revealed that the village is completely ignoring?

I don't know if I did, what are you referring to?

I thought it was a fun game, the pause came as a surprise to me. Meta biting scum, if it did, sucks for them. But town can't be sure that it did.

I found it amusing how the same interaction patterns emerged even though players were anonymous. I think it shows that the patterns are caused by personalities and not names. Of course for the players some identities became quickly obvious. The ones I'm pretty sure about:
Scarlet John:

Uberfish

Widow Edith:

Rowain

Rob the Filch:

Lewwyn

Fat Rose:

Serdoa

Lady Elizabeth

MJW

Know-Nothing Jon:

Zakalwe

And some educated guesses:
Friar Andrew:

Mattimeo

Young Will:

Ryan

I didn't spend any energy on figuring out who was who, I don't think anybody did. It just became obvious over time (or immediately).

Nobody here successfully guessed my identity, btw.
