So I don't want to leave on this kind of note.

@Cole, I'm going to offer an apology. As I said, extreme stress, constant arguments with my wife about things, and a depression drought don't help anyone. Not excusing it, just clarifying. I was a dick, and I can admit that. I played into your game and let you get to me, and I'm sure outside factors didn't help at all.

I still need to be away for a long while while I get things sorted. If I do come back and things can be patched, great. If not, then it's fine.

Thanks for the game, @Zell 17. I hope you do many more. Iā€™d love to discuss strategy and ideas with the players but I donā€™t want to out future plans.

Sorry I had to pass on that dirt nap.

Haha youā€™d have still been my next choice. What did I miss besides Vash giving up?

Either way we were safe. Skip.

Does this mean I was bad at the game, or you were? :chuckle

The end bit I was leaning you hard cause of chat, no real reason. But Vash was the same to me but with less suspect chat (jokes donā€™t mean anything to me here). Howā€™d they know to go for you?

I guess I was bad in that aspect but thatā€™s ok. Happy with most of my other ploys. I shouldā€™ve said I was protecting someone other than cg (the one after I actually protected him). I protected someone else, but it was obvious I wasnā€™t protecting cg. I should have said Iā€™ll protect Kat. Didnā€™t matter anyway cause Holly was on fire.

@Kat did you try protect killface? I didnā€™t want to talk about that one publicly

I figured going for Killface would have likely been a potion protect, which is why the Kat choice was made (I wasn't part of it) before the world burned down. Either she went down, or you protected her and went down by being hit twice. After that it would have been:

If Kat = dead, target killface
If Benzine = dead, target kat

You three were the top priorities, and that would have been the only way to guarantee a kill each night (unless Ants got involved with it).

Not sure who I would have protected after canadaguy if there were any remaining wolves left, but once Warp died there was no reason left to protect. I guess I would have protected Killface since he was the most useful role left.

Some observations from pre-game and early Wolf Chat:

- I'm apparently the one that first proposed Night 0 Confusion -> Day 1 Guardian -> Night 1 Confusion on Sunday night. Please continue to direct all complaints towards Cole though, I'm a figment of your imagination.

- We had originally planned/voted to kill Ryan on Night 0 first. That would have been interesting... and maybe saved some feelings. We only changed to shortkut after getting the result of the Wolf Seer usage.
Cole said:
I think we kill Ryan straight away. He's got a big brain, and is a master of psychology, we can just nail him, and I'll play the [REDACTED] card.

Alu I think should seer canadaguy

and I'll seer shortkut.

- You had ONE JOB, Vash! :tease

I wouldn't say Vash ever gave up.

I protected Vash the first night (only because he was kinda hinting at wolf fan and I was curious if the wolves were going to bite) and Killface the next night. I strongly considered protecting Holly instead though.

Why the switch to local hero after the burning?

During, technically speaking.

I was the only one left alive, and that was my vote. If you know Vash is the Arsonist/Serial Killer, and you look at this...


...what do you see and what do you target?

Did you know who burned before you made that vote or that's who you happened to vote for and yours was just the only one that happened to count?

How did you know it was Vash?!

You don't have to answer if you don't want to give away your strategy. I'm just curious.

Even though I hated it for obvious reasons, I'd never complain because it made for such a good game. That whole second day I was convinced we were doomed. "We have no idea which roles are left! Everybody is claiming seer, so now we can't trust any of their info! The sorcerer is indistinguishable from a seer! There could be a second confusion wolf!" It was a blast.

No, Zell was being a little cagey. I could surmise that Holly was dead if I was being asked for a "funsies" vote, but didn't actually know why or when or who else. During my lunch break I stuck to the plan - voted for you and kept skip in place.

When I got home some 4 1/2 hours later, the night phase was still in effect and the thread was not posted. The following was sent:

endgame.png

All of the answers are "Yes," btw.

How did you know it was Vash?!
He wink-wink-nudge-nudge role claimed Werewolf Fan on Day 1. That was the entire basis for my "Seer" check on him, and I brought along Ants because he somewhat more concretely claimed a Random Villager. Effectively, I wanted to prevent the town from lynching the Fan and a good candidate for Solo Killer.

When Benzine blew Raposa's cover, I then assumed Raposa was the Solo Killer. And when the results came in and he was revealed, I was shocked - but also, obviously, that meant Vash was left.

You don't have to answer if you don't want to give away your strategy. I'm just curious.
Whether I'm for or against the town, I'm going to play the same way. The way I see it, if answering questions gives people insight into how I play that can only broaden their horizons and make us all better players. So, ask away.

Even though I hated it for obvious reasons, I'd never complain because it made for such a good game. That whole second day I was convinced we were doomed. "We have no idea which roles are left! Everybody is claiming seer, so now we can't trust any of their info! The sorcerer is indistinguishable from a seer! There could be a second confusion wolf!" It was a blast.
Haha, good. :chuckle

End of the day, all of the wolves wanted everyone to have fun and enjoy themselves. Winning is nice, but it's not the goal.

Actually - if it's not in this thread, that might not make a lot of sense either.

I wasn't lying about Holly, she did imprison me and Alu. I couldn't (originally) speak with TD as a result, so I was functionally operating entirely blind.

Which is fitting if the town just went up in flames. :chuckle

I'll corroborate that. I like to imagine that the jailhouse was set on flame and you crawled out of the wreckage to safety.
But Vash burned up my mac n cheese. That is unforgiveable. I'm voting Vash next game I'm in with him for that reason. :hot

Thanks @VashTheStampede ! You saved my life!

@Holly you probably shouldn't have put two suspicious people in jail after all. :chuckle Or at least name them in advance like @Benzine suggested, since the dead don't seem to generally get access to the dead forum until the end of the night. Damn good instincts on who was trouble though, Holly.

@Warp good read. I was surprised when Raposa turned out to be the fan, too! I did not see that coming.

To be fair, she kind of did: Holly voted for me before changing her vote to Raposa. If she died, and anyone looked, they'd know.

So I had no intention of trying to escape!

If Vash hadn't killed her I would have failed the 50/50 coin toss of "Did she offer the weapon" unless Alu could have managed to discreetly pass the information along through the prison messages, though.
Of course, the plan was also that Alu would kill one or more wolves to prove and protect himself, so...

And the vote for Raposa was because I realized you weren't going to get lynched that day.

So just to add some more interesting turn of events out there.

My initial idea was for us to kill Holly if one of us had been imprisoned, which Warp was.
Warp suggested Holly would be protected by Kat, so we switched to Kat.
The arsonist struck and Warp switched to Hero.
So in a weird round about way, Warp would've first been responsible for Kat's death, but then when the arsonist struck and switched to Hero, was responsible for saving Kat (alongside the Arsonist).

If I had killed Holly and the Arsonist didn't strike, all 3 of us would've been alive with no threat of the mysterious weapon and I would've had to try to talk myself out of a red read and maybe an evil read depending on what Hero did.

Also, without us targeting canadaguy, Benzine doesn't have a legit claim and Raposa may live Day 2.

The trickle down effects of decisions fascinate me.

I honestly can't believe the false Werewolf Fan claim was as effective as it was. I figured I could use my old strategy of "subtly" making a role claim as an advantage and lay hints for multiple roles to give myself options later on if needed, so I tried to lay breadcrumbs towards Fan, Marksman, and Avenger.

I ā€Šimmediately regretted trying it, then tried to wiggle out from Fan and Avenger, going so far as to issuing a press release disavowing any attempt to claiming Werewolf Fan, hoping the fact that I had already posted about wanting to be a wolf outside of the game would help erase this strategy. Then later, when in a bind, I dug that press release back up and used it to wiggle out from under Kat's suspicions. That was totally serendipitous.

I'm curious what your logic was in calling fan @VashTheStampede ?
Knew the wolves couldn't kill me, they'd lose a night kill. Would pivot to Tough Guy/Bodyguard claim in that case, but then Ants and Raposa tossed subtlety in the trash compactor with THOSE two claims.

Just the overwhelming # of random roles. I believed Alu šŸ˜…, Benzine, obviously myself, and shortkut, so every other role claim was suspected. Ants, you TD, Warp, Vash.

Warp was claiming a seer type, so I thought ants, you and Vash were more likely RK. Just picked one.
