Nah triple cupids who pick all avengers. Single kill results in mass murder/suicide.

SK wins by default.

The problem with predictably trapping yourself is that your trap will typically never spring. The exception being if nobody knows there is a BH in the game and you claim marksman or something. If you go random you can protect two people: Yourself, who the wolves would never dare attack, and wherever your trap is.
If you go random too, you could accidentally place the trap on a wolf, or you could be killed if the wolves don't know your role and your trap never springs.

Hmm... it looks like Vash got more of the backlash of two apprentices. Possibly. This is looking very fun.

I imagine Kat is getting nuked now? Or maybe Vash. Everyone else would be a poor choice. Tubby might be the only wild card that can still win this for the town. Otherwise it seems a lot like Cupid or accidental wolf win since Cupid cant.

I don't think the wolves are ever gonna sus out TD as not being truly on their side. I think the only way the wolves can win is if they spike the beast trap, which would kill off the couple.
We knew. At least I did. When I first talked about the couples and Dean said it wasn't him, I immediately suspected TD was playing us too, but I didn't have skills to outmaneuver him. So, I played along. He was too willing to sac wolves, as long as it wasn't him. And he had too many "I've got a plan but not yet" told me he had to confirm with someone else if it'd work. I didn't suspect Raine till too late, but that's the issue. I would have been happy to help them win. But Cupid is stupid.

Yeah. I mentioned this in the last thread but I don't think people really took notice. If I was a villager I'd put people in categories.
I only quoted portion for posterity, but the issue is there are MORE than a few people that do not WANT nor LIKE to play that way. Some of us like the detective work. Outright role claiming absolutely ruins this.

Also, this is a cupid win. Poor Dean still thought TD was going to help the wolves win when i died, but TD had the clear path to victory as a couple and he wasn't letting it go.

I was serious about playing the more shortkut/Vash style game of just not giving a fuck. I'm always sus no matter what I do and say, so i'll play loose and if I die, who cares? I'm also seriously outing myself as a wolf day one if I get it again. Fuck that shit too.

Vash's method is more of embracing the sus. So plays like his kind of sus, but not too sus. For some reason this keeps him from being both lynched or night killed for at least awhile.

Gotta give it to TD this time around. Raine did just enough to stay out of prime sus range, but looking from the sidelines definitely was playing way differently from normal. Maybe that should've caused some questions at some point. As well as only ever visiting Kat? Don't think she did anything else. And Tommy has been graced with being a token villager to pave the way for the first ever Cupid W. But TD did a great job facilitating this shit in the background from what I can see. :clapping

Maybe I'm drunk but I don't see any way the town wins. It's either wolves or cupid couple. Dean's vote overrules TD, so he can kill Tommy tonight to even the odds but continue to outvote the town as wolf team.

It depends whether the town wants to let the wolves or cupid win at this point.

I wonder if Dean knows that TD will need to vote him off the island soon for their win? TD controls 3 votes. He needs Dean right now. But after a blocked lynch and the wolf kill (of which Dean still can't vote), TD is gonna need to kill Dean to prevent a wolf win. :(
Hard to say. He mightve been playing his own wolf game too hard this game around and is being blindsided by cupid shenanigans. It's unfortunate since otherwise he definitely gets a wolfie gold star for this game.

There is this unwritten rule to not kill the obvious like Vash and Benzine early because they are protection targets.

Personally, I've played enough games where the absolutely frustrating part of this game is there are two classes of people: those that say jump and everyone follows and those who are always on a radar no matter what they do.

It all begins to feel a little too much Kobayashi Maru for my liking.

So I'm gonna try the I just don't care thing next, because at this point with Zell's RNG, I'm either a wolf or useless anyway.

They can't win. Unless Dean turns on TD for this lynch.

And Dean hasn't given up his powers, so he doesn't have a vote. Unless he did last night, which I doubt. And he can't overrule TD anyway, they'd tie.

Shit, you're right. I thought I remembered reading that Dean overrules TD. But no, TD's rank is higher so he out-votes Dean.

Who are the cupids?

Also, TD was the only other sus I got right on because his dumb butt kept his vote on me. I was starting to think Vash was the baddie.

Also, Bell Ringer is a shit role. You can't claim that role because if you don't have information, it can easily be assumed your full of shit. You can't get information unless you get lucky. I had one chance to get information when kut died, but I fucking chose Dean and Tommy thinking the wolves HAD to kill a Seer. I didn't want to go at the only person who vouched for me, so I couldn't make him sweat.

I had hoped that my attempts at goading the wolves to kill me to basically waste a kill or just kill other more powerful players until I got information would work. It might have, but the fact that Dean was a Wolf Seer ruined the whole thing.

Oh shit, you right.

Dean CAN still pull this off, then. Vote with TD and Raine, continue to outvote the town, and turn on TD.

I suspect we may get another Lambchop situation though
No, town will outvote him by that time.

If he turns on TD here, it kills TD and Raine. But then Dean has to convince a combo of Vash/Benzine/Kat/Tommy/Tubby 3 times to win. And at least Benzine and Kat already sus Dean and Tommy won't because he will have killed the couple.

Town can't win and wolves really can't either unless TD plays to a wolf win. Soon as they no lynch and kill a townie, it's all but over.

I think that was a one time thing, though. Also, I was on that team, we had gotten someone's role through other means making it much easier to bullshit your way into making everyone believe you. I had 0 information in this game.
