The official I was killed early in a game and need somewhere to vent thread!

[Alan T]

I've probably died before or on day 3 more than almost anyone other than say Saldana or a handful others. I guess somewhere along the way though, I just got used to it as a risk of playing WW. :) Sure, its not fun to die early in the game and have to watch from the sidelines, but its usually not something personal and is actually a compliment that someone was afraid enough of you to push a vote on you or night kill you.

I've seen a few people get upset at early kills lately and Barkeep mentioned a seperate vent thread, so here you go..

THe official, I hate you all because you killed me early thread!

I think we should give Saldana first crack. He always gets wacked early

[Barkeep49]

We're seriously doing PLACEHOLDER posts here? SHeesh.

[spleen1015]

If I die today, it will be the fourth time in a row I have died on day 3 or prior.

Bloody game.

This thread was created 17 minutes ago and we're 9 posts in... nice!

I've done some pretty idiotic things to get myself lynched but it was mere stupidity. Had I not been SkyDog I woulda been dead. I've had my share of early lynches and it's my mouth getting me in trouble and no, it's not a compliment... I sometimes take these things a bit too seriously.

[hoopsguy]

And none of the people who have posted in this thread have complained about a specific game where they died early. That is the funniest part about it for me, at this point.

I take this stuff seriously when I'm in the middle of the day - when I'm up for vote I have a hard time breaking away from the thread and I am pretty sure my heart rate gets going a little faster than it should as I try to construct my case over the minutes/hours I have left to live. But once the day is over, if I'm the one swinging from the rope then I try to move on quickly. The last thing my wife needs is for me to be sulking about my fate in an online game.

Usually I also try to learn something along the way - although the process of applying those lessons the next game doesn't always go smoothly.

OK, I need to work on my ranting skills ...

[Alan T]

The one game I was killed early in that I can remember was the Harry potter game.

I remember the first two days we had amazing luck and Peregrine was the seer and somehow caught a wolf the first day. (We had night 0 with seer scans). The next day he caught another wolf in a flat out lie.

We had back to back wolf kills on day 1 and 2.. looks like we were going well. So everyone was fawning all over Peregrine for it and he came out with this list of who he thought was bad. Everyone immediately wanted to go down the list and kill them all. I debated saying just because he was right on about the first two doesnt mean he suddenly knows who all the other bad guys were.

I managed to vault to the top of the suspect list with those comments and ended up getting lynched on day 3. Not a single wolf was killed the rest of that game, and Saldana (The moderator of that game) had a nice little run where it was only good guy deaths one after another for quite a while in his games. I was a bit bitter about that death for a bit. :)

[path12]

Here's a specific: Cronin's wheel of time game. First time ever I get seer -- I am stoked! Everyone day 1 votes for someone else so there's like 15 one vote people out there. I point out that probably helps evil more than good. Alan jumps on that at the end of the day and sniped me. GRRRRRR!!!! ;)

But hoops is right, you just gotta move on.

Is Peregrine code for Neon Chaos?

[Thomkal]

Shall we talk about Tombstone, day 1 then Hoops? :) Is Day 4 too late to vent about a death here? Nah I'll wait to vent abou that one when the apocalypse game is over. :)

[Jonathan Ezarik]

The Jack the Ripper game. I was really excited to play that one because I loved the theme and I had a cool character (the Artful Dodger). I believe it was Alan who doomed me for being too quiet. I was frustrated because real life had kept me from posting all day and when I came on, I already had all kinds of heat directed my way. But I learned a lot from that and I've tried to be more vocal and insightful since then.

[hoopsguy]

I wonder how many of these stories will revolve around me being a bad guy? Or the dumbass villager leading the charge against them? :p

[Lorena]

Oh yeah, and then there's Jack the Ripper game. Wow was I mad. I withdrew information because if I admitted taking Barkeeps money (who died while we were having sex) then I would look guilty. When blade (or was it cronin, can't remember) mentioned that some money was taken away, I wasn't sure if they knew it was me or not, so I admitted it and I got lynched. When the game was over I found out that I could have been a mason and in control of practically anything. I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO mad.

[Mr. Wednesday]

My first WW game, I got myself offed on the first day. That wasn't any fun.

If I'm remembering right, it was the game where Fouts snookered everyone with a fake reveal.

[Lathum]

Animal farm was annoying for me. I was Pinkerton and knew AlanT was a bad guy but he didn't know who I was and he killed me night one.

The JTR game annoyed me because there was really no way for me to get out of being lynched.

[Alan T]

Is Peregrine code for Neon Chaos?

oh woops, him too. Guess I dont remember it as well as I thought!

[DaddyTorgo]

Know what's great? being killed on the same day in 2 games. especially when you are a damm seer in both games.

guess i made my hint in the 2nd game a lil too obvious. oh well, that'll teach me.

especially when the person who kills you in game 1 is the GM of game 2 and has to PM you like "sorry to be the beareer of bad news"

GRRRR

[Alan T]

lol woops. Hate to tell ya, but yeah your hint was a bit too obvious :)

[DaddyTorgo]

lol woops. Hate to tell ya, but yeah your hint was a bit too obvious :)

yeah. ah well...live and learn. and i was a lil too frustrated with the other game honestly at that point in the day.

[saldana]

with all due respect to alan, because i think he is the only one that may have more faster exits than me, none of you guys that have had 3 or 4 quick exits in a row should be whining yet.....there was a string of about 8 games where i didnt make it past the 2nd day....i didnt even bother to read the friggin rules until day 2 because i assumed i would be dead on night 1.

the thing i always said to lathum when he called me the next day laughing his ass off at me was that i never understood why....i am never right, in fact, i cant think of the last time i actually caught a wolf, but for some reason, i get whacked every game in the first 5 minutes.

[st.cronin]

I was lynched on day one 6, count it 6, consecutive games. You at least make it to night one or night 2. For 6 straight games, i didnt see night 1. All becuase it was funny since my x-com guys always died the first mission(back from godzilla dynasty)

[Lorena]

I need a seafood chili recipe my ass!! Day 2 and out

[Alan T]

I don't even like seafood chili! ewww

Wednesday and thursdays at work they serve chili in the lunchroom cafe at work.. mmmm

[st.cronin]

I wasn't killed early but I was killed bizarrely.

[Passacaglia]

Can I whine about being killed too late? When did the Oz thread get deleted?

I think DaddyTorgo has just set a record that will never be broken.

[Mr. Wednesday]

I feel a desperate need to reply to something that was posted in the Survivor common thread, even if it was more appropriate yesterday...

That's quite a pole.

That's what she said!


(Yesterday was International That's What She Said Day. :))

[Mr. Wednesday]

How so? And how were you killed?

He was going to take over for Passacaglia, but Pass got night-killed last night, so you could say that DT was killed before he even started playing. :)

Bah! Not exactly early but a pretty annoying way to get knocked out of my first game. Especially when things had been going so well. Lynched with one vote, when there's 10 people still in the game.

That's with one vote, mind. Not by.

I'd like to be killed early again sometime. Maybe after I start the new job.

[Narcizo]

Thanks all. I'll definitely think about it but my role in this game was ideal for me. When I'm a wolf or get put under any pressure I think the time difference would be a bigger problem. Then again CR seems to have the same sort of schedule as me and he manages ok.

At least I can now lay claim to having a perfect record. I'm 100% (at the moment). And I don't think many people can "brag" that the first ever WW vote against them resulted in them being lynched.

[path12]

I think I was lynched within two-three days in the first few games I played. But to be fair I think I was really quite a horrible player at the start.

[Poli]

I am the one who should be angry. I'm on three days of bereavement pay because of a guy I hardly knew. So I'm sitting around the house trying not to do housework but it's hard when I don't have anything going on.

I need/ed an excuse.

[st.cronin]

That was a tragedy, what happened yesterday.

[Passacaglia]

I think you mean what happened last night.

[Poli]

I wasn't upset about it at all.

[st.cronin]

Someday I will play in a werewolf game where I am not the first wolf lynched. I believe every time I've been a wolf, I've been the first one to get lynched.

[hoopsguy]

Back to back Night 2 kills. I'm submitting an official request for a bodyguard that night on the next game I play.

[st.cronin]

pffft

[Poli]

Garbage. :)

[st.cronin]

That hardly qualifies as "early".

[Poli]

Your swamp cooler hardly qualifies as an "air conditioner".

Air rapist, maybe.

[Passacaglia]

Yeah...while I'm not exactly happy to die or anything, I feel like the time we were in it was plenty to have a large effect on the game.

[Poli]

This was more about taunting cronin than about dieing at any point. I say this while sitting in my air conditioned home.

[LoneStarGirl]

I am so sick and tired of dying early in these games!! ;)

Hey, Alan, want me to scratch that itch now? :)

Well, didn't think I would buy it this soon, but I think I did pretty good, considering I was a wolf who was on some level "revealed" on Night One. No one really suspected me at all until the end of the day here (but boy did they turn fast).

[Barkeep49]

Yeah you basically got another day, which is about the best you can do as an exposed wolf.

Unfortunately they used DT and I as offerings first. But they'll pay, oooh yes, they'll pay....

Silly wolves.. You killed me on the wrong day.. I'm supposed to die day 3 not day 2.

[Neon_Chaos]

:) Decided to off you earlier before you became a nuisance.

[molson]

Damn it.

New territory for me - I was in the final 5 and then final 3 in my first two games. (Mostly because I was too bad a player to be considered a threat).

[hoopsguy]

Molson, if it makes you feel any better it wasn't the wolves that considered you a threat seeing as how you were killed by a villager :)

BTW, really enjoy your TEW dynasty.

[molson]

You picked a fine time to leave me, molson
Four hungry werewolves, and a Goth in the fold
I've had some sad times,
Bug's giving me a bad time,
But with hoops' help, I'll try to be bold.

[hoopsguy]

Purdue, would love to hear about it in the post-game.

[ArlingtonColt]

It was a pretty fun first run, too bad internet issues and my lack of respect for taking notes hindered my game a little bit! Looking forward to the next one.

[hoopsguy]

The Witness role is seriously broken in these games. Seriously, it gives the villagers a free wolf. At least with the other roles they have to match wits with the wolves.

I would seriously hope that moderators looking to use this role will come up with some way of mitigating this - perhaps allowing them to submit a list of three names the first night, two names the second night, and a single name the third night to watch. If the wolves aren't going after those targets, then the witness is out of luck.

I actually dislike this rule more than conversions. I just hate being converted, but don't think that the mechanic is fatally flawed in most games.

[RendeR]

So...what? the witness just has a flat chance to catch you in the act every night?

[PurdueBrad]

I wondered how the witness worked as well, off to read Neon's rules about it.

[Neon_Chaos]

I wondered how the witness worked as well, off to read Neon's rules about it.

It will need some tweaking. The witness is able to view a night kill, and receive the name of the wolf doing the night killing.

[EagleFan]

Damn, only made it to day 2. Thought I was good for a while.

Sorry about the kill Pass but it was a coin flip between you or AC being the duke and I saw you were hanging around so I went that direction. Figured it best to take a vet out.

Oh, but what a way to go!

Would have liked it more if I choose right on the 50/50 toss up and went with the duke to take with me, it would have seemed fitting.

Wow, I suck at 50/50 choices...

cronin or oliegirl for the lynch and I choose wrong
AC or Pass for the kill and I choose wrong

[hoopsguy]

Sigh - if Arlington chooses wrong then I'm a legend for getting the duke to burn his power. But since he chose wrong I'm an afterthought and EagleFan is posting in this thread :)

Interesting combination -- I don't think I'd ever thought about what happens if the brutal wolf is duked. If EF weren't around that night, this game would have been in some trouble.

I hate it when someone jumps all over me day 1, because I know for a fact I'll be dead by day 3. I think I'm just gonna stay quiet from now on, seems like no matter what I say when I open my mouth I get screwed.

Bleh =)

I haven't died this early in a while. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. At least it wasn't the good guys who did me in.

[Schmidty]

I am still bitter about that horribly over-powered game mechanic.

[RendeR]

Is day 3 to long to be consider4ed early?

[RendeR]

Finaly having a seriously awesome game as a villager and the bastarads kill me to shut me up.


DAMNIT =)

[Passacaglia]

I am still bitter about that horribly over-powered game mechanic.

What was the mechanic? I saw some references to an "awesome mechanic" in the game, but since I haven't really been paying attention, I couldn't figure out what it was.

And yes, Day 3 is not early.

[Chief Rum]

Pass, someone had the ability to force an immediate deadline (or at least an early one). Someone forced "sunset" on Day Three 40 minutes early, so not everyone got votes in or night actions (aside from the person choosing to end the day at whatever vote he/she wanted). Also, anyone who didn't vote loses all but their vote AP the next day, so it screwed late voters over for two days. Pretty powerful ability.

[Passacaglia]

That is cool. Not sure I like combining it with the penalty for missing votes, but it's still cool.

[RendeR]

Ok, I gotta vent this somewhere...


They're going to lynch EITHER the SEER or the BODYGUARD!!!


WHAT THE FUCK?


Kudos to the titans, they've absolutely mindfucked these guys.

They are WILLFULLY CHOOSING to lynch a MAJOR ROLE.

This is almost as rediculous as Barkeep listening to hoopsguy.....

At the point I posted this I had been watching them circle jerk themselves into a lather and accomplish nothng for two days. I was so frustrated I coulda spit.

Luckily BK cut the post out until everything was settled =)

Mmmm... jerk lather...

That ws just it though. I KNEW who they were BEFORE I was killed =)

Ask Telle. I had them all pegged except for Ardent, I wasn't sure between he and PurdueBrad for that last titan, I was working to move everyone to them SO badly and they realized I was on to them and axed my ass =)

Bastards =)

Any chance I get to kill BK and render I'm taking immediately. You can't fault me. It's solid strategy.

You're a real optimist considering that it has pages and pages to go before it even catches up to the largest WW thread.

[Passacaglia]

it's the tortoise and the hare

[st.cronin]

Its an application of Leibniz's postulate actually: In any supposed transition, ending in any terminus, it is permissible to institute a general reasoning, in which the final terminus may also be included.

That is to say, eventually this thread will be the longest thread ever.

[hoopsguy]

I'm counting on people's inherent need to complain about the unfairness of dying early - which, we have seen, it pretty powerful. Every game seems to generate 5-15 new responses in this thread.

Sure, we'll need a couple of hundred more werewolf games to get us there, but as long as there is not a sequel to Maximum Football (discussed in the same thread, no less) I feel like this thread is a sleeping giant.

[Passacaglia]

So, in all that hubbub trying to defend myself, I forgot to scan anyone. I didn't realize it until I was at my soccer game, and by then it was too late. I figured it didn't matter much since the wolves were going to kill me anyway, but it would have been funny if they didn't kill me for some reason, and I had to tell everyone that I forgot to scan the next day!

That actually happened to me on day 1.. I totally forgot I was changed to the bodyguard and had to take off quickly and completely forgot to submit a PM on who to guard. Of course I came home from Connecticut early to the blindside from PurdueBrad and the rest is history (and it didn't matter that I was able to later get a PM in to guard someone)

[path12]

That's a solid point right there.

25 posts so far from the current game in this thread - way to keep the momentum going, guys.

Since I'm not participating in the current game, I have to find some way to keep up my volume of non-counting posts for the week :)

[jeheinz72]

Looks like Pass was onto something, posting gets one killed. I had passed CR in posts in that game...

[RendeR]

I dunno where I should post this but I want to say somethng.

in all the games I've played I've lost my cool 3 times, and yes when I get pissed of I realy go off on people. Sometimes not with real validation, sometimes with plenty (BK) Now, I just want to state for the record, that if you read my game threads and compare the times I get really angry to the rest you'll see one very ovious pattern. I'm being baselesly accused and have been on the villagers side all 3 times.

Honestly guys, I don't get insulting and rude to be fun or just to be an asshole. I don't truly go off unless I'm being rebutted by personal opinion with no real validation whatsoever.

That's cool and all, but there's tons of baseless accusations in werewolf, and you just have to get used to it. Wolves don't genereally show their hands, so the village is given very little to go on. It seems like you admit that all anyone else is doing is playing the game, and that you're responding by losing your cool. Try to think back to the times that you've thrown out baseless accusations.

That is part of WW though. It is not a clear cut game where you can color everything black and white... No matter how much you know about a particular game, you can't ever for sure say anything at all is ever fact no matter the role or situation... I have had someone go off at me because they thought I had a personal vendetta against them before, simply because their playstyle always seemed to trigger my wolf-alarm and I ended up voting for them alot due to it. Most of the time, I would wager to say nothing in WW is personal and most people do a fine job seperating game from game.

I would just shrug it off and instead of getting worked up over something like that, try to look at it from a different direction and see how you can use it to your benefit.

That is just my two cents from someone uninvolved and having no idea who is what role in your current game.

[RendeR]

I understand there are tons of things like this that happen, its the fact that some people refuse to admit that its JUST their personal choice, instead they word it so it looks like the only plausible answer. Which is just as bad a lying to people.

This gets compounded when the people doing it are long time players who people will generally take VERY seriously when they say something. Thats not the persons fault realy, but it just makes being the target of the situation that much more frustrating.

[hoopsguy]

Keep this thread going, all! I've been very disappointed by the lack of posts in the first couple of days in the current game - how is this supposed to catch Maximum Football when people accept their deaths quietly and with dignity?

[Barkeep49]

Render I posted my longer response in the thread in my role as GM. As a player, I will just point out that I try to be very careful about posting my certainty. For instnace, in this game I repeatedly said I was willing to take a 50/50 chance. I wasn't certain, merely willing to entertain the risk. I will redouble my efforts, when accusing someone to post the reasons and certainty of why I feel the way I do so it doesn't come off as more certain than I actually believe.

Something to keep in mind is that when you can be predicted to reliably act in a certain way, the bad guys can use that against you. For instance, a wolf will realize that he can get under your skin with some baseless accusations and that your response may help to get you killed off.

[path12]

Dola, I do understand the frustration of being falsely accused. I think we all do except hoops, who can talk his way out of any situation..... ;)

[saldana]

well, some things apparently never change...i had a streak of a couple games that i made it to the end of, and now we are back to being dead within 2 days.

Quit your bitching you puss you lasted a half day longer than me;)

only because you announced you were duking before the actual deadline...i wonder if you could have duked cronin's duke and still gotten out of it.

[Barkeep49]

Don't forget you might not be permanently dead in this game. That's how I'm consoling myself.

yeah me too, but i am not getting too excited about it....last time i got resurrected and lynched in the same day

Hey, ya'll are spending quality time with Yaks, Trout, Squid, and Rhinos. Things could be worse.

[hoopsguy]

Dola, I do understand the frustration of being falsely accused. I think we all do except hoops, who can talk his way out of any situation..... ;)

Just saw this. I too get frustrated with being falsely accused, and it happens almost every game that I am a villager! That said, there are degrees of frustration and I think most of the time a player has the ability to shape the conversation through their posts rather than have to sit back and take it.

Everyone has their own approach, every situation is different, yada, yada, yada. I just know that when I'm a good guy I'm going to work as hard as I possibly can, with the amount of time I have that day, to not be the one picked because I know I'm a bad selection.

There are also certain playing styles that are more likely to attract attention, and accusations are part of the territory with attention. I normally like to push the action as early in the game as possible, rather than wait for the game to unfold. It is a lot of fun when it works, and a lot of hard work defending bad decisions when it doesn't. If you are finding yourself in a spot where you have to defend yourself more than you would like, perhaps it is a good time to evaluate what kind of in-game behavior is creating those situations. It is possible to change your behavior and your "WW rep" over time if you are interested in doing so.

Welcome to Werewolf.

wow.. this is completely f'ed up































can't wait for my first foray into it.

lol, it is addictive

and i havent' participated in one yet.

does it matter much that i may not be able to check things during the day (typically) as i'm at work?

usualy not. Sometimes if you are a wolf it can interfere with communicating with othe rwolves.

Usually if you are upfront about your schedule the way chief rum has been this game people will cut you some slack.

awesome..

I read some of the background on wikipedia...

and, as I'm reading through the other game.... are the wolves made aware of each other at the very beginning? or just during the first night phase?

interesting game.

[Barkeep49]

The wolves, normally speaking, know each other from the time the game starts.

[finkenst]

normally....so, just making sure i understand this... when the game starts the wolves know who each other are? i hate this game already (time sucking/addictive) and i've never played it

[path12]

Yeah, generally the wolves both know who each other are, but can also communicate and coordinate with each other via PM or email. Villagers cannot communicate with each other except in thread and don't know who anyone else is.

Generally. There's always an exception somewhere, but those are spelled out in advance.

The other rule I like to tell any new player is that you can always trust me to tell the truth.

And as Render will tell you sometimes if you trust someone, someone else will die. Moral of the story? Don't trust anyone except if you want to win in which case you need a circle of trust.

I'm not upset really at dying but hoops would be mad at me if I didn't post here so....

[hoopsguy]

I'm upset that there are multiple people who have died in the first two days of the current game who have not posted here.

Seriously, how are we supposed to catch up to the Maximum Football thread (even if the posts don't really count) if dead people don't whine here????

[st.cronin]

beats me

[finkenst]

sigh.

[SnDvls]

I'd like to say I was killed early, but I wasn't. However, this is probally the longest I've lasted as a wolf in a long time too ;)

[Arles]

First time I've been voted off on WW. I had a good feeling on 2-3 of the remaining wolves, so it was probably a good move by the wolf contingent. ;)

[mauchow]

I suck at this game. HAHA

You mean killed off? Unless you think the wolves had a small caucus to determine their kill tonight. :)

[claphamsa]

yeah, its ok....

[Arles]

Good point, CR. I was killed off ;)

this game makes my head hurt too much.

i got killed by work and volleyball conspiring against my online time.

ah well. :)

okay, so this probably doesn't qualify as early, but...um, i'm doing it so hoops can achieve his dream of getting this thread to beat the MF thread. Yeah, that's it.

Anyway, this worked out pretty well for me -- it's lurker's birthday, and we're going out to dinner (provided I feel well enough). It'd be pretty lame if I were thinking about the WW deadline the whole time! :p

Pass, thank you for your post that is in complete violation of the spirit of the thread. I wish more people would take your approach.

[st.cronin]

Pass has been killed early in enough games that I think he gets to post in this thread whenever he wants to.

I can't believe I died already
