WW26: The Masquerade [Game Thread]

[Widow Edith]

For Anne I can only see her huge post where she called Sarah scum as reason.

Young Will for :

.. the content of his posts. Read through them there is just 1 post with a bit content. And that includes the aforementioned : "I watch 2 persons I have not mentioned before and give no reason whatever" snippet. He posts enough to not fall into the Lurker-range but his posts are content-less which speaks scum to me.

[Muriel The Slow]

One wolf down! Good job. Looks like the wolves got a lucky hit on us though. I don't understand the targeting if there are two WW factions.

[Simple Anne]

Quickest WW game ever.

[Know-Nothing Jon]

That being said, my earlier case against you pales against how incredibl scummy Muriel appears right now.

This is also a somewhat curious statement. What's changed since you were last online that made Muriel so much more scummy?

I'll back this question up with a vote.

Kate The Waif

As a more vocal wolf, I'm currently suspecting Doctor Saul. Any other opinions on him?

[Agnes The Orphan]

Ouch a bloody night, at least we got a wolf
I actually get the feeling that Simple Anne may have been a (admittedly bad) vig target due to people talking of policy lynching her.
I really dislike Muriels play last night, especially the assuming accusers as wolves. I asked you this earlier but it didn't really get answered, who do you suspect that hasn't voted you?
(And BTW, I didn't vote her because I didn't suspect her, not because of activity)
I'd like to hear more from Scarlet John personally as I haven't noticed anything from him, and on review, it looks like he hasn't posted anything of content. Who do you suspect, John?
Still got a bad feeling about Know Nothin' too...

Fake-edit: Honestly, no. I've only noticed him in relation to Muriel and I thought the two came out of that in a villagery way. I'll try to re-read.

[Muriel The Slow]

Now that we know Easy Sarah was a wolf, it could give some more credence to this theory:

I believe Lady Elizabeth / Courage to be a villager. If he was a werewolf, he would not risk being instantly caught by faking a role-PM unsuccessfully. His information checks out, therefore I trust him. Now here's the thing. Any villager would have realized that his claim was true, so anyone who voted to lynch him should be kept an eye on. Those players are: Bert, Edith, Percival, Sarah. I doubt they are all wolves, but we at least have a higher chance to catch a wolf by picking one of these four than if we picked randomly.

Okay, about Lady Liz. This is stupid, but my vote for Lady Liz was actually a joke, the simplest way to concisely pin him not as Lady Liz, not as Courage, but as MJW.

Upon reading his post the meta clearing of him did in fact jump at me immediately, as I had already noticed the same fact from my own role pm. So my internal conclusion from Lady Elizabeth's first post was in fact that she was innocent. Therefore Widow Edith's followup vote on Lady Liz jumped at me, and my joke vote morphed into a "plan". I described it as such to save time and bandwidth - I was playing from the phone. The plan of course was simply to see if anybody else failed to see that Lady Liz was a very likely villager.

Sidetracking a bit, I do think LL is a very likely villager, Fat Rose and Sir Percival. I'm pretty certain that the GM would have posted the villager role PM in the game thread if he had thought of it, he wouldn't have provided it in the wolf QT. When the game started, I asked the GM to post the villager win condition in the thread, since I had spotted the potential meta problem with the villager role PM. (I should have asked him to post a full vanilla PM). In response the GM edited this info into the opening post. (This happened after Lady Liz's post.) So it seems to me that the GM hadn't provided scum with the village win condition in any other channels.

So yeah, that is a complete meta argument which some people hate, but we can't unlearn that info once LL has used it. If you dislike it, don't blame me for pointing it out, blame the GM for not guarding against it.

Back on track:
Myself, Widow Edith, Sir Percival and Easy Sarah voted LL.
* Widow Edith gave political reasons for voting LL. It's not clear to me whether perceived scumminess factored into the vote
* Sir Percival doesn't believe the meta clears LL.
* Easy Sarah needs to explain her vote.

I'm not sure why scum would vote LL after the meta argument in her favour was pointed out, so that counts in SP and ES's favour. In other words, a finger of suspicion on Widow Edith, apart from that I'm not sure the LL incident tells us much except that LL is likely town.

Giant crosspost.

[Doctor Saul]

I assure you, Mr. Know-Nothing, that I am a villager. It says so right in my role PM.

I do get so excited when the first wolf is caught:

Also:

Now to my vote. Rob, you are very eager to attack someone only a few hours into the game. While I find it hard to believe that a wolf would rather go on an attack like that than stay low, I find it even harder to believe that a villager would be so convinced of someone's guiltiness right off the bat that they would go on such an attack. Especially when I know that the person you are attacking is a villager, and one of the few contributors so far.

Eh? Buddies?

I don't see it likely that Sarah would throw dirt on a teammate, so I think Widow Edith has a fair point about pursuing other targets and giving Muriel space to prove herself.

I like your reason to vote Kate, Jon, but I think it is better to kick at some of our other lurkers. Scarlet John contributed very little on Day 1, and limited his discourse to but Muriel and the Friar. I think he should be given a platform to speak some more of his mind.

[Doctor Saul]

Blast these colors. Scarlet John

And x-post with a few it seems.

[Kate The Waif]

Yeah Anne's death is a bit odd. Could be a vig kill I suppose. Nice for her that she got to finger a scum before she died, hard to believe that scum would kill her for it though.

Anyway, Kate, for lurking.

I'm not lurking; I'm not online for large portions of the day.

That being said, my earlier case against you pales against how incredibl scummy Muriel appears right now.

This is also a somewhat curious statement. What's changed since you were last online that made Muriel so much more scummy?

I'll back this question up with a vote.

Kate The Waif

Muriel actually didn't have too many posts at all before I went offline for the first time; she had some interactions with LE, but not enough to really ping with me (and maybe that's because I was slow to pick up on why she now appears to be scummy, but even looking back, her initial posts weren't supers


Post half finished half to leave ASAP will be back

[Doctor Saul]

Like any real doctor i seem to be incompetent around computers...

Scarlet John

Third time's the charm!
