WW21 - The Professor Is Dead [game thread]

[Gazglum]

Cursed am I by the gods, for my visions to be disbelieved.

I hope the townie/s among Serdoa/Zak/Novice takes the time for some quiet reflection today. :P

[Mattimeo]

So let's all go and investigate that bright thing in the sky.

...the moon?

Howling at the sky?

I guess we have 36 hours to bask in our own misery.

[Gazglum]

Come, come, we could any of us be dead soon! Nobody has any comment? Surely the wolves are not keeping a low profile :P. It was a shame how Ryan turned out, wasn't it Serdoa?

Didn't you tell us to do some quiet reflection?

I'm hoping for some power roles to save the day, I'm afraid I can't help in that department.

I do find it slightly unsettling how Serdoa has managed to stay on my and Zak's good side throughout the game. It's a harebrained argument to use for lynching someone, but let the record show that even though I agree with Serdoa about lurker lynches (and most of what else he's posted in this game) that doesn't clear him in any way. The same goes for Zak.

We still have a decent chance, with 2 scum and 3 villagers left even I might be able to hit scum with my votes. And we can analyze pairings, with 5 players left there are only 10 possible wolf pairs. And everybody left alive should make full claims.

[Gazglum]

I think both Ryan and Mattimeo make decent lynches. Slight preference towards Ryan. Attacking Serdoa for the SC2 tangent is weak, since that was a response to a direct question from Ryan.

Don't like Mattimeo criticizing my call for claims. Like I said, I have breadcrumbed my role, and there is nothing vague about it. If I am lynched, you will be able to deduce my role.

Zak, I’m sorry if I’m being obtuse. I’ve been trying to follow your breadcrumbs and I’m lost in the woods.

You rhymed a lot, Zak sounds like Zap. So maybe you’re Zap Brannigan? It doesn’t help us that much, so I’m guessing this is not the right train of thought.

I guess you don't want scum cottoning onto you, but if that's true then I feel like maybe they already have and I'm still flailing. Are you hinting at a protection role? If so, I think it would be much more helpful to town to just come out with it at this point. Otherwise, as Mattimeo said, the claim fishing and mystery just doesn’t make me trust you. As you might have noticed :P.

Well, I know I am a villager. And I saw no reason to attack neither zak nor you yet. Though that post I quoted reads awfully like a setup for the next day novice.

Anyhow, we'll see who is alive in a few hours and than we can start discussing. That game was hard for the village to begin with, as only 2 mislynches are allowed before we are at Lylo and that means that there will not be as much discussion and interaction to analyze. Thats the only issue I have with too small games (I think 12+ works better): It comes down to luck if you lynch one of the wolves on the first day. If you do, village has nearly won already, if you don't village is already in a bad spot.

[Mattimeo]

Nah; 3-player werewolf. Deal, vote, flip, repeat.
You know you've played that too much when town's winning every game

[zakalwe]

I know that I've been cryptic, Gazglum. That's kind of the point; otherwise I would just come out and say what my ability is.

That said, I'm not quite sure how to play this. I'd like to remain cryptic for a while longer, but there's a chance I die, and there's also a chance that the only player I really trust to correctly decode my breadcrumbs will die.

Mattimeo, Lewwyn said "You claimed vanilla, right?", but you never answered. So did you claim vanilla? (If you did, I think I missed it.)

Gazglum, do you have any abilities?

[novice]

Well do you think they'll both die?

Mattimeo did claim vanilla with a "ditto". He also claimed to be Fry.
