Realms Beyond Werewolf 2 : Game Thread

[fire&ice]

We ressurect the old mayor and have him vote preferably before he gets all spoiled they get kinda smelly and rotten then.

I hope you don't mind the devil steping into town one last time .

He does smell pretty bad. Laying 5 feet under does that to a person.

Cheek! As a malevolent spirit, I merely discorporated to a less hostile plane of existence.

If you're seriously asking me to break the tie, I can do that.
Let me recommend though that instead of having a formal vote each time, the previous mayor merely selects his replacement. Because voting for mayor every few days is probably going to get old fast. Mayor chooses successor was what I proposed when I suggested the system, and I still think it is a good idea.

[Lewwyn]

...ok

Seems a bit...

[uberfish]

Yeah I can just see the villagers standing round a pentagram to summon the devil to decide who should be mayor

[Roland]

Roland, i know you've messaged my email but i'd rather this was said public.

Don't be silly. You were only doing what you thought was right. Uber's last post claims that the werewolves know im the owl. That'll buy us, as a village another day. I apologise if i was overly critical but i had to attack your credentials slightly to ensure that not too many people jumped ship.

Ironically, your charge for Sareln has helped us brilliantly in my opinion. There aren't so many wolves left that they're gonna be comfortable with losing one. Not with a vote that close. Let's go thru the evidence and find us some targets?

You're such a dick, you know that? You played me just as much as Uberfish did. You knew what I'd do, not because I believed Uberfish but because I'd find a way to make it plausible, and exhaust every last idea before coming to a conclusion. You knew I'd examine every possible angle, scrutinize everyone's thoughts and inputs, and do everything in my power to draw everyone I could out into the open. You know how I operate, and you used it against me. Now you're doing the same thing again - you know damn well I'm not retiring, and would NEVER be content to just cast my vote in line with your own. You know, that's TWICE you've played me today.

When this is all over, I'm flying out there to punch you in the mouth. Then we can go out for those drinks I owe you (and, now, you owe me).

You said scooter was the one to bring the claim to your attention. Then yes led me to believe it was him alone. Whatever, never once did you tell me it was Uberfish. All good though. I'm having fun

I said Scooter was the one who made me think there was an inkling that it could be true. His and Serdoa's thoughts about Sareln echoed with my own at the time, so I investigated the data they were positing, and checked it against what else was available. The rest is history, but you're right - I didn't tell you it was Uberfish. Had I, you would have acted just like Kyan. I needed a cooler head than that, so I had to play it a bit closer to the chest. I wanted you to look at the evidence I presented, unbiased, and give me your thoughts on my case. You and I both know you would have dismissed it outright if I hadn't forced you to look.

You think that Roland, and I'll chock up another point to Uberfish for breaking you. There's more game to play and we're going to need every villager we can get. Chin up, let's go.

I'm just tired. I've put a thousand times more effort and energy into this game than I ever expected or intended, and it's been an uphill battle the entire time. I've missed the mark a few times (although not nearly as much as some people think - or claim [Kyan, you ass]), and that's hurt my credibility and my spirits (a little). I'm just tired of going out on a limb and having it snap under my feet - dragging others down with me. I won't say it hasn't been worth it, it's just taxing. Being so completely blindsided with Uber (my own fault, for not understanding how he could sell out his own brethren, and thus not giving that idea enough credit) just really brought home my limitations. I was a little to blind to see what Kyan did, though - that my efforts were anything but in vain.

Besides, you'll get your wish anyway. I could no sooner give up so easily at this than I could anything else - it's not in my nature. Kyan knows this - hence his play against me in public. He wanted to ruffle my feathers enough to force me to put myself back into this full swing. Brilliant play, even if it's going to cost him a fat lip. :P

I think this is a bit too ripe for abuse, should the 'Wolves get someone in power (*wink, wink*). It's balanced by the fact that it's checked against everyone's input - tedious, but more open. This way, if the 'Wolves want to keep one of their own in power, they'll have to put their lives on the line in public - that doesn't matter to a Villager, but it does to a 'Wolf. Just my opinion on the matter. I haven't put any deep thought into it. :P

Get back in your grave! Yes, that image is quite hilarious - it struck me sometime yesterday that it would come down to me and Lewwyn, although I wasn't sure it'd come down to a tie. The thought had crossed my mind, however, and I mentioned as much to Lewwyn. We got a chuckle out of it.

Sigh, sorry about the mayor tie, I realized I hadn't voted for mayor so I just threw Roland down there with 2 minutes to go. I didn't actually realize I was forcing a tie... I can unvote Roland if you guys want? That might not be very fair, but I merely voted because I realized I hadn't done so so I slapped down the first name that came to mind. Sorry about that guys . I'll unvote Roland if F&I acknolwedges it and everyone is okay with it, because I genuinely didn't realize I was tying things up.

Roland - don't try to bury yourself because you were wrong. That's craziness. The point of this whole voting process is we all lay out our opinions, we vote as we feel is right, and we cross our fingers and hope the majority gets the right guy. Enough of this doom and gloom stuff, we lynched a werewolf, so let's celebrate! Sure you (and I and many others) were on the wrong side of the voting, but that doesn't mean you need to just quit and fall in line and vote for whomever Kyan says for you to vote. I think even Kyan would recognize the danger of just flatly agreeing with him.

I'll use myself as an example. I analyzed my thoughts over and over again throughout the day, developed my own opinions and very infrequently drew from other people's thoughts, I changed my mind a few times, and in the end I believed it was a crapshoot and Sareln was the higher likelihood. So I voted for him. Looking back on it, I'll defend my opinions, as I believe all of them were well founded and well developed. I was wrong, but that's because when you're not an omniscient werewolf, you are going to be wrong frequently, because the odds are stacked against you. As a villager, you are always making an educated guess, and frequently that guess will be wrong. That's just how it goes.

Just because you were on the wrong side of a good debate doesn't mean you need to now just fall in line with other people. I'd rather you be in arguments again tomorrow (even if that means I'm arguing with you again), because that means we're putting our heads together. This village seems to have a lot of infighting and arguing, but what's our current lynch record again? 3/4. Pretty dang good. I'd say then please don't change what you're doing, because the hierarchy that this villager currently has seems to be doing an amazingly good job of lynching werewolves, even when trusted villagers disagree. Let's keep at it then, and lynch another one tomorrow.

[Gaspar]

Three things:

1. Woo hoo, 3 dead bad guys! Eat it, wolves!

2. Its night people. Can we stop giving the wolves any ammo?

3. I can't wait to see how my actions today get spun as wolfish. :P

I am okay with that unless the people of the village want to find out about that pentagram.

[Rowain]

So much drama but in the end the right one swings from the gallows .

Roland I think you are taking that game far too seriously.

But let's look at the result: It's day 4 and we have already 3 wolfes down .

[Lewwyn]

I can't wait to die to see what the lurkers think. Craziness up in here. They have to be having fun with this...
