16 Priests threatening to splash each other
Ah yes, a Russian Roulette standoff!
I know it feels like it, but they were in great shape last game until the arsonist wiped them out and they are in good shape this game.
FWIW we're only in good shape this game through a lot of good luck and a lot of dumb townie decisions. Maybe if the alchemist had been less useless we would've done better. I do feel like the game is weighted a bit pro-townie. We got lucky with the medium pick, the red woman killed themselves before identifying themselves and saying they would target X person, we got lucky with Gunner, seers kept picking the same people, beast hunters hunted themselves, Zell mixed up the timelines and lowered Tubby's credibility as a result, and Tommy drowned himself. A LOT had to line up perfectly for us to have a shot at winning, and even then our only shot now at winning (which basically boils down to FQ making a 50-50 call) is due to Benzine (luckily) having the guardian wolf role. I feel like just one more wolf may make for a more balanced game. Even though it reduces townies by one, it balances a bit by giving a larger pool of wolves to pick from.
Cole hasn’t been targeted because he’s so super strong (I’m not convinced he’s the best player). But he has had great roles (Gunner 2x and witch) that are the top role targets for wolves to kill. In this game he ANNOUNCED the ability to kill, when any competent wolf team will be most concerned about taking out bullets. Of course he will be checked and killed.
He had an important role last game,
and his posting was nonsensical and meaningless. Before knowing his role, I was for keeping him alive, although I feared he was the fool and was stirring up as much mayhem to get people to lynch him.
I felt really shitty last night after how things went down. I know I let my teammates down. To see people saying I "ruined" the game feels even worse. I am very sorry if my stupid bullshit negatively impacted people's enjoyment of the game. I know I can get overbearing and a bit extra. If I'm in future games I will try to tone things down tremendously.
Dude, don't feel shitty. We all make bad calls while playing the game. It's only all clear and obvious in hindsight. But each time we play, we learn. In the heat of the moment, sometimes emotions cloud your judgment and cause you to make a bad play. That's the point of the metagame. That's why I was being obnoxious as hell, posting nonstop even though I was a known wolf. Mentioning the potion, insisting for multiple days that he was alchemist, all of those sowed just enough doubt even though I was the baddie. If Tubby's timeline had been revealed without me launching accusations, you probably would've chalked it up to an honest mistake and forgotten about it.
I feel like I could criticize
every single player, including myself, in the last game for
something (except canadaguy, you pretty much played perfectly from what I saw, leaflife represent
).
I do worry that it may drive people away or people get over invested and then need a break.
Me I just love it
Part of me feels like anyone who takes wolf so seriously that they get
that upset about the game is... maybe not the type of person that I care to be sharing a board with anyway? Decide for yourself whether that's a pro- or anti- community take.
Anyway, I just love the game. It's a lot of fun, and it's one of those things that like, if I were to get killed off early, great, I can stop wasting so much time obsessing over the game and the metagame
you literally said the only thing needed to do to win the game is announce you're the seer, and the game is already over.
That's out of context. He said that about a hypothetical *other* game with completely different rules, not this game.
