I'm not going to just end it and say the town wins, even if it's the most likely outcome. They can skip phases to end it faster if they want, but it's definitely not fair to Benzine for me to just call it before he gets to act.

You definitely should not end the game. But if I was the solo or last wolf, I would resign as soon as the other solo/wolf was killed.

But yes, it’s not literally impossible since the town could lynch Jon or otherwise just completely throw the game for lulz. But that’s what it would take.

 

[Kat]

If we have a spent headhunter then they would definitely shoot. None of the others are guaranteed to do so. They should probably conspire to make the town lose in all honesty. So the best bet is putting a confirmed townie in with one of them to take care of it. That's why I want to know what people are so I can choose the best one to prevent from using their actual power at night.

I don't get this. Jon is confirmed town and has no night ability right now. Just use him. It doesn't matter what Christina is.

 

[TD]

Honestly watching this makes me feel much better about my propensity to overthink, I'm definitely not alone.

 

[Ants!]

shortkut laying more groundwork calling for Christina being lynched tomorrow.

A day 3 lynching of Christina is the only viable path for a baddie win. Which could only be benzine because shortkut is marked for death tonight though he doesn't know it yet. Unless Benzine killing Alu saves him, I'd need to check the night phase order again on that.

 

[TD]

Why would they lynch Christina when canadaguy (confirmed Violinist) cleared her?

I still don't understand why she'd get lynched

 

[Ants!]

Not saying they would, but they're talking about it. Jon pressed her to role claim and shortkut is actually asking for it. All I'm personally saying is that it's the most viable path for a Benzine win.

 

[Ants!]

I know right? TD's point about your clearing her was on point.

 

[Kat]

I don't think kut is seriously trying to get Christina lynched. He's just role playing as a HH with her as the target.

 

[Ants!]

Good point.

 

[Ants!]

Jon pressing her to role claim is something though. Could potentially be just Chritina, shortkut, Benzine, and Jon tomorrow. The two baddies would only need to convince Jon.

 

[TD]

So why 100% die when you can only 50% die?

Yeah Jawneh, why?

I really hope this is him foreshadowing that he's finally going to splash.

Most passive priest ever. And I wouldn't have expected that out of Jawneh.

I think this is just Jon trying to figure out how she could help the town rather than considering lynching her. Plus Jon is very paranoid of Cupid, it would seem. But with two headhunter claims, I'm not sure why he's so paranoid about it.

New head hunter meta where apparently you claim it and everyone is paralyzed from doing anything

 

[Zell 17]

You know Quagmire being Fool here is actually eminently possible and claiming HH would be a great play.

I know he’s not, just pointing out that voting him is real dumb

 

[TD]

Sounds like shortkut just did some math.

 

[Ants!]

At least going after Quagmire is rational, he's one of the two people who have to be lying about being head hunter.

They moved off Christina who had been cleared. Jon is the only proved townie at this point, everyone else could plausibly be lying and just made a convincing claim.

 

[Ants!]

I guess it's looking like the two solos and one town will die and then it'll be day phase 3 with three town and one wolf.

Unless Jawneh does something. Then it's either town wins or town is down another number.

 

[dimmerwit]

Why is Alu so worried about the numbers?

 

[Ants!]

This game is off the rails, going back and forth and nobody knows what to do.

 

[TD]

I am officially rooting for the town to lose (albeit I know it's unlikely). This is insane.

 

[TD]

Jon shoots Jon

 

[Ants!]

Why do they believe Jawneh so solidly? I mean he's telling the truth about his role but they don't know that. He just claims priest and then Alu gives him a convenient Out from proving it. Alu also hasn't been able to jail anyone yet.

At this point Jon and Christina are the only ones verified as town.

 

[TD]

Well, Alu is one of those players that everyone believes no matter what. Jawneh always lies, so why he's being believed kind of boggles my mind.

Regardless, I'm kind of entertained.

I don't feel like anybody trusts Jawneh

 

[TD]

Next time I'm a wolf, I want my whole team to claim Headhunter.

 

[Ants!]

This day phase.

Ben's arsonist burned Kat, FR, and canadaguy... during the day.

 

[dimmerwit]

Can't believe nobody has tried that tactic before.

 

[TD]

New meta game: there is no night phase and all abilities can be used at any point in the day.

 

[TD]

Ooh 4 of 6 skips are in.

 

[Ants!]

Idea for game: town and solo roles get switched up every time it changes phases from day to night and from night to day. Same surviving roles just get randomly reassigned to random non wolves.

Or hell, let the wolf roles get scrambled with the rest too, just need to make a new wolf chat each time.

PM: "You are now the arsonist. You don't know who is doused with gasoline at the moment, if any. It could even be you."

 

[Zell 17]

I was considering doing it today if it became clear I was fake. But that got scuttled partially by the dimmerwit lynch going through

 

[Ben]

Can't believe nobody has tried that tactic before.

Honestly... He kind of did play me to pull that off... He sent me a PM saying "Burn the town" at 11:46 PM, so ~2:30 hours after the day started. After having just felt I had to jump on responding to Jon shooting Zell immediately, I didn't even think and just did his action when it came in too.

I kind of hoped it'd burn him (har) since he was at the time all "ARSONIST?" in the thread and I then torched everyone, but... Nope...

I assumed the timing was intentional on his part, to try to make Quagmire look guilty.

I will say, one thing I learned the hard way as a GM, don't assume people read or understood their own roles.

Especially when people is shortkut.

love you kut

 

[Ants!]

love you kut

No!

 

[Ants!]

@Ben skip

Too late!! You missed the train.

 

[Ants!]

Quagmire's lynching will expose shortkut as a liar, but his death has been planned for all day anyway by Alu.

So only question is who will benzine eat and then what those townies will try to do tomorrow.

 

[TD]

I'm still hoping for the Benzine eats himself plot twist.

 

[Ants!]

Both the solos will be gone so it will be benzine against the town. Who is his best option to eat?

Jon is confirmed.
Christina is confirmed.
Alu will be confirmed.
Jawneh would be the only unconfirmed, but all he'll have to do is splash benzine.

Don't see any way out of this for him, he might as well eat Alu since he'll be the only one he can be sure of to not be jailed and protected.

But then day 3 will probably be hopeless for him because it'll be two confirmed townies and Jawneh knows himself for townie also and just splashes. So yeah that's probably a wrapped game and I don't really see any way for benzine to win anymore.

 

[Ants!]

Sucks because he made it this far. I was rooting for him. If Fools hadn't been targeted by shortkut then it might be a different story.

 

[TD]

I imagine Christina will plant her flag on Alu. Just a matter of who she redirects it to.

But yeah, with kut getting killed in jail this should wrap it up barring the town doing something really stupid.

 

[Ants!]

This is also the first time I followed a wolf game this closely that I sat out of. Even games I join I tend to let go of the effort of keeping up with all the posts and almost tune out or barely skim.

 

[canadaguy]

If you were a sociology major, you could write your thesis paper on this game jfc

 

[TD]

How do you like it?

I'm used to observing because I typically die quite early, but I actually enjoy the spectator role.
