WW 36 - Horrors in Kingsport [Game Thread]

[Jabbz]

Never rolled scum yet, but when I'll eventually do my first wolf game my first post in the wolf thread will be to ask for advice, in order to stay low and not to attract attention

See guys! I'm not scum. This is what I would do if I were scum. So obviously I'm totally not scum!

[Jabbz]

My record for the last few games as real villager: Killed Night 2 twice(35 & 33) , killed night 1 (32), vigshotted by a wolf-vig Day 1 (30) . Don't ask me for sympathy because you got nightkilled early in one of the few games you played and found as scum but let live on Day 1 in another one.

So if you are alive day 3, you must be a wolf, and we should lynch you on general principals?

[Jabbz]

This is the curse of day 1. Every time someone agrees with you, you instantly start questioning their motives.

Is this why you ignored my incredibly logical, well thought out accusation against you this game? :P

[Jabbz]

After losing the last game I see the value in making lurkers talk, every town player should be contributing reads and such if they have the time.

What about the people who claim they are too busy to post much? Do they get a pass, or do they still face some suspicion for being quiet?

[zakalwe]

Oh, rest assured, I've been questioning your motives, Jabbz.

So anyway... when should we all move our votes to Gaspar? Perhaps we should agree on some kind of signal or code word, for coordination. Something like "I have a bad feeling about this".

[Fenn]

Retraction seems weird. Not sure why really any response changes perceived scummy-ness of the initial joke. What did Adrien explain that wasn't obvious from the outset? "Uhh it was a joke". If you bought the explanation I don't get why it "did need to be pointed out".

If the point was "well it wasn't THAT scummy/strong of a read and I need to move on" sure, that makes some sense. If the point was "the explanation actively changes my perception of how scummy this was" it doesn't to me.

It's mostly the former. The Adrien vote was there to get a reaction, because it's early Day 1 and we don't have any great cases (well maybe Brick and Mattimeo are suspicious now). Anyway now there's better cases to pursue and we got an explanation out of AdrienIer so there's no point in keeping the vote on him for that little reason anymore.

What about the people who claim they are too busy to post much? Do they get a pass, or do they still face some suspicion for being quiet?

Players shouldn't be punished for being busy imo, so if somebody says they are I'm inclined to give them the benefit of doubt. It is possible to lie about being busy, but I don't want to take paranoia that far. :smile: Not to say that they'd be above all suspicion, but you can't expect everyone to always have time for Mafia.

[Doctor Saul]

Well do keep in mind this doctor needs keep his sleep schedule attuned to west coast US time due to his business being in that time zone. But it is true, I don't do well with ice beakers. I prefer the steak to the hors d'oeuvres. And while I slept -- quite well I might add, thank you for asking -- I see a couple entrées worthy of consumption have arrived!

(Is that better, Lewwyn? )

FYI- I'm also at work now. So you won't get much out of me over the next 8 hours, maybe a little on my lunch if I see something then. I've been sneaking the composition of this at my desk over the course of an hour so I'm probably cross posting with a page of material


Qgqqqqq and dtay are reading rather normal to me. Dtay especially so as he's been confrontational every time I've played with him in the past.

@Brick - Rowain is right, you're the only one who's brought up your wolf past. And then you got yourself all wound up about it. Clearly it is bothering you. But you are correct, it was some twenty games ago. I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt for now, but this is a scum tell IMO.

My dear friend Gazglum has made a salient point about Doctor Saul and his dearth of thought. One would expect a doctor to be slightly more loquacious.

I could go for Doctor Saulus; he's been quite reticent for a supposedly esteemed physician.

I was struck by the repetition of Lewwyn here. "One would think a doctor would ... dot, dot, dot". Has Fenn played with us before? My recent time away has given me a lot of new faces and mannerisms to process.

I thought Dtay was new to WW. Is this perhaps a wolf covering for another wolf, without actually making sure he has played with him before?

[novice]

Good question. AFAIK WW35 was Dtay's first game, and Saul/Pindicator didn't play in that one.

[dtay]

Confirm WW35 was my first game.

Though as confirmed to myself town I'm mostly just confused as to what the mixup is.
