If I was a coupled wolf to another wolf I'd tell the entire group immediately. It's practically impossible to win as a wolf couple because the wolves winning condition will nearly always trigger first.

Role sucks
Nah, I'm just venting. My departure has nothing to do with Cupid, really. Though I did see some tweaks mentioned that could help it out.

Also more Solo Non Voting roles to flesh out the pool and make it less repetitive would be nice. But I get that those are difficult roles to concoct.

Yeah but the wolves to win as a couple would have to become the last two players standing without FIRST making up half the village.

So if there were 3 villagers and the wolf couple left, you would have to kill all three villagers at the same time (Avenger chain maybe?)

The other way to do it is to keep the solo killer alive to prevent the wolves winning condition from triggering, and then kill the solo off last. But that's risky too.

I should have pushed to kill Tommy yesterday maybe.

I dunno, don't wanna do the math.

I got blinded.

Town was basically dead (pending the Beast Hunter saving their bacon, which doesn't seem like it's gonna happen) after Kelly and shortkut died from a math perspective. Part of that is because the village rolled some truly horrendous RRVs. No real seers, only "protector" is a BH, no killers. Yikes.

Probably day 1 you're just supposed to jail the Cupid claim with literally anyone else and drop the weapon. If someone decides not to kill Cupid, lynch them out the next day because they're coupled.

Yeah, this is likely the way.

Hard to get a town to try and play for the long game rather than the short term

I floated the idea of letting Jon live and going after TD and got no nibbles.

The village had bad luck + a couple misplays and that was all she wrote.

Most powerful role got killed night 1. Other strong villager role got coupled and essentially went over to the dark side. Beast Hunter couldn't nab a wolf with 6 night phases. Warden killed off a villager. And the village didn't have enough powerful roles in the wings to help them overcome it.

Go for it.
Nah, not worth the drama. I know no one really  cares why I'm gonna be stepping away, aside from simple morbid curiosity.

I'll just say it's about empathy and leave this here:
TD usually is the same as Cole. Dean, you said it yourself that him still being around is suspect as all hell.

Personally, I've been treating this game as kind of a Karma Bank. Purposely tried to shove people away from Kat day 1 because she's always a quick kill. Haven't gone hard at TD or Raine for the same reason. And theres a good chance my play has suffered for that. But I feel everyone should get an equal chance to play.

I actually care. You’re one of my favorite posters on the site (no offense to anyone else)

I think part of the issue is we have such a small pool of players, we know how everyone plays and who tends to be targeted first

Our sample size for "targeting" is really small too. A couple people have gotten unlucky with night 1 kills, and that's all it is: Luck, since we use the numbers.

I don't count getting lynched by the village as targeting especially since I think there have only been two mislynches in the Zell wolf games (Tubby in the Beast Hunter game, and Raine as a completely provable role that she never claimed)

I don't hold the same sway as Kut, but I sure as hell care. You're one of the people I've known the longest here and I had more interaction in our past with you than anyone else.

I hate to see this, but I understand, even without the reasoning. I've said I should take a break for a bit too because this is emotionally draining most of the time.

We used to be worse at this, these dead threads used to basically be triage care

I am more than willing to be the always first night kill for wolf games. Only playing when some dumb person who can revive dead people brings me into the real game.
That would be cool. @Zell 17 ritualist can revive anyone from the dedthred even if not originally signed up

I was thinking more if I was always wolf first kill, it would solve the problem of the people who sign up but don't get to play a day problem. Or the unlucky people that seem to always have their number picked. It doesn't solve the rest of the murder though.
