So on to the eternal warewolf (sic) question of whether day one no shows should be voted out asap or not. I don't like voting guys just because they missed a day so I won't be going there. Leaving things pretty much/exactly where we were yesterday.

Say we assume that the wolves were equally in the dark about the stuck vote mechanic. Assume one (or more) of Autumn, Golden Eagle or Jackal are wolves. I think you might see a late move to protect one of them by one (or more) wolves who hadn't voted before it became clear that there was no vote-switching allowed. Leaving Ragone, tyketime and, possibly, Passacaglia (might have realised without commenting on it) with a potential connection with one of Autumn, GoldenEagle or The_Jackal. Not much to go on but, you know, there's not going to be that much to go on after a day one like that.

Vote Ragone

For now.

Last time I checked in I thought everyone was all about the not voting for people who aren't around D1. You know what with the potential role-reveals and whatnot. Then again with no roles listed I've no idea what sort of role reveal would be accepted in this sort of game anyway.

Doing some major catch-up here (wasn't around after 9 AM Central) but I am a firm believer that a more active game is more fun.

Alright given what's transpired, I would like to propose the following: Crimson is gradually introducing WW game mechanics, in the same way that Portal gradually introduces its game mechanics.

So, this would mean:
1. We were all Vanilla Villagers on Day 1.
2. We now have a BG in the game, in the form of the cube. Could be the cube is a player or an object, I would lean towards object and thus the BG is not a person but whoever has the cube.
3. I have a 3rd supposition but I hesitate to post it at this time. I post this here now, so that I can later cite it should it come into play.

Questions I still have:
*Are we going to see a lynch today?
*Have wolves been gradually introduced into the game yet as well?

Narcizo

So, this would mean:
1. We were all Vanilla Villagers on Day 1.


Um... that's a big assumption right there isn't it? I hadn't thought of it and it's a neat idea so it's worth considering but I don't think it's something we want to assume. Might explain why there was no lynch but then again the tied vote might explain it as well.

I think we're going to see a lynch today - but the only way to be sure is to vote and see.

That's an interesting thought...and definitely something to consider based on how things played out yesterday.

There is definitely a lot still up in the air and it would be dangerous of us to be so hasty in our assumptions.

Hmmm, so the first day was just a joke vote, nothing happened at night, and this will now be the official start of the regular game then? I guess I'll wait and let some of the vets hypothesize and take the initiative before I throw a vote down on anyone.

Marc Vaughan
05-08-2012, 08:38 AM
Unfortunately MV being a no-show doesn't surprise me. I think I've been in a couple of games "with" him and never seen him post.

Aha - I'm back in the US now, so have to spoil my record with you ;)

(previously the games I played were when I was in the UK which always made it challenging as I tended to find alliances setup and myself voted out before I even woke up ;) )

For me:

Vote Marc Vaughan

As I'm feeling a bit left out .... normally by now someones thrown me to the wolves, this time I'm so hard done by I'll have to do it myself :D

Autumn

I wonder three things:

1. today CF introduces unvoting, but perhaps actual lynching won't be introduced until tomorow?
2. Do his instructions imply that we need to do an unvote if we want our vote to stick?
3. At what stage will night kills be introduced? I think BK may be on to something with the introduction of roles as well. It's an interesting ruleset.

I will make sure to unvote at some point today just in case.

hoopsguy
05-08-2012, 09:03 AM
I think that BK's theories are as good as any at this point.

But if we assume that the BG came into the game, then I would also expect that we now have a wolf in the game as well. So how would the wolf/wolves have been assigned last night? Would it be driven in some way by the "non vote" yesterday or an entirely different mechanic?

My initial thoughts are to return to the candidates from yesterday with the idea that there would be some correlation between the people we voted yesterday and the emergence of wolves as roles evolved. Otherwise, the Day 1 vote was an even bigger waste of time than normal :)

I would guess the lynch happens starting today, at least I'm going with that, though I'm open to the idea it might not since it's not spelled out. Two days with no lynching would be a pretty slow start.

Ragone
05-08-2012, 09:27 AM
Honestly Narcizo, i felt as if this wasn't going to be a standard lynch.. and that jackal was getting railroaded as goldeneagle had voted for him. Thats why i tied it up, in hopes that it would save jackal. Or at worst lynch both of them and get a wolf with a villager sacrifice.

I do also like the theory that everyone was villagers on day 1... and roles will be gradually introduced..

Ragone
05-08-2012, 09:29 AM
As i consider a villager sacrifice to be a worst case scenario..

PackerFanatic
05-08-2012, 09:30 AM
I would find it hard to believe if there was not at least one wolf yesterday. The way things are playing out so far, it's not farfetched to think that that wolf (or wolves) will not be given a NK until somewhere down the road (tonight, tomorrow) - or based on the tie, he wasn't able to use it?

Simbo Klice
05-08-2012, 09:44 AM
I agree, PackerFanatic. I would have to think at least one person started as GlaaDos. Do you guys ever have cults in your games?

Ragone
05-08-2012, 09:57 AM
We have the cube in game now.. so we are assuming its bg power.. so its also giving the assumptions that wolf or wolves will get a nk tonight

Passacaglia
05-08-2012, 09:59 AM
So MV has checked in with an excuse, that makes me ready to roll on Chubby.

VOTE CHUBBY

I plan to unvote later after CF posts a vote count, just to make sure I can. But if I can't, I won't be torn up about it.

The Jackal
05-08-2012, 10:01 AM
This is some interesting theorizing. I find it hard to believe that everyone was vanilla on D1. Unless we can be fairly sure of that mechanic as the days progress that would put the village at a huge disadvantage in terms of analyzing posts. Flinging wild accusations and such. But maybe's that what Crimson wants. Crazy bastard.

The Jackal
05-08-2012, 10:01 AM
Analyzing posts AND votes, missed that.

I kind of feel the same way, that this all may be barking up the wrong tree, in a way. On the other hand, I don't really have anything better to talk about, so felt no reason to speak out against it.

I guess it would be interesting to see who's on what side of this argument, then maybe we can look back and see if someone was trying to dismiss Day 1 voting as invalid, knowing that it could be potentially useful to us? Although I don't see how it would be with no unvoting allowed, and no lynch.

FWIW, I could definitely see Crimson pulling something like this, where roles are doled out as the days go on. Hard to speculate at this point, so will try to make an educated vote based on yesterday.

05-08-2012, 10:36 AM
I can't believe Ragone is a wolf tying it up there. A bad villager play maybe but a wolf is more careful. So I'm not lookin there yet

Not much we can go on from day one, but I'm going to go here for now

Vote britrock88

Autumn
05-08-2012, 11:10 AM
I can't imagine CF would so transparently tie the vote in with the introduction of wolves. I can imagine that there werne't any wolves day one, but I assume the introductoin would be random.

I don't know anythinga bout the bad guys in Portal. Are there any clues there in the game as to what hte mechanics might be?

Marc Vaughan

From what I remember of 'Portal' the only bad guy was the computer who was running the tests ....

It could be that the entire thing is just one big psychological test to see how many people will be sacrificed for no real reason, would be kinda cool :D

That being said I'd have also thought the Portal setup would suit people being 'offered' assistance by the (slightly demented) computer system and thus gaining roles during the game ..... in return for doing certain things for the computer possibly? ..... dunno, working this out will be all part of the fun ... :D

The Jackal
05-08-2012, 11:21 AM
It's been awhile since I played portal, I don't remember much about it except how cool advancing through the beginning part of the game was. Come to think of it I'm not sure I ever finished it.. need to rectify that.

The Jackal
05-08-2012, 11:23 AM
His was the 8th vote placed on a person (me)! Moreso this is for the timing of the vote, as 6 people had 1 vote and two had just gotten their second.

05-08-2012, 11:23 AM
Well, Julio had been at 2 for a bit, but yeah.

tyketime
05-08-2012, 11:24 AM
I'm also willing to go with Barkeep's theory regarding a gradual introduction of abilities (as others have pointed out - consistent with the game). Wouldn't that support the idea that perhaps the wolves didn't have the NK ability Night 1, but now with the protective cube in play, NK will most certainly begin tonight?

I'm leaning toward this theory as well. But I think the wolves were probably already assigned at the beginning of the game. Otherwise day 1 would have no game play purpose whatsoever, right? Other than to confuse us by making it harder to get a handle on voting patterns later on.

On one hand this could possibly prove valuable. Yet, if the wolves know that the candidates are all Villagers, it would be a good way to waste another vote or two.

GoldenEagle
05-08-2012, 11:30 AM
Interesting. Essentially, we at a Day 1A. Today's vote will be another crapshoot with votes all over the place.

I tend to agree with bholiy that Ragone is not a direction we need to go today. I don't see him making that vote either if he is a wolf.

It looks like Chubby may be the choice as even a couple of people vote for him he will probably still have some form of punishment. I am curios if MV's votes will carry over as well, even though he has woken up.

Narcizo
05-08-2012, 11:34 AM

I've no problem with your vote, it's probably the one I would have made in the circumstances as well. But you've got to look for information where you can get it and finding out if you are a wolf will give us (very little) information. But if it was all-villager on day one then the whole day was a waste and reveals nothing (except as a control experiment of how people act when it's all villager).

I just have difficulty seeing a whole day go by when it's all-villager. What's the point of that? But I'll agree it makes sense in terms of what (hasn't) happened.

tyketime
05-08-2012, 11:36 AM
In reading over CF's instructions for today, he mentions a Special Test at 3PM PST today. I checked to see if there was any correlation with votes being locked in yesterday, but that message was at 5:46pm. So I don't think time is necessarily the mechanic in play.

PackerFanatic

Thank you for your concise and brief interrogative. The tie mechanism is as follows. Those involved in a tie will be processed in the tie-evaluation chamber and be put through a series of tests involving, in no particular order of importance, their age, their weight, the number of hairs on their head, how much cake they have eaten that day, how much cake they can eat, the amount of posts made, and how much everyone hates them.

And the most important factor, beyond any previously listed is...ASFIJIUFAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIEEEMNMEZZZZZZHHZZHHEEEEEEF--*FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF*

*>CHIRP<*

Unless I missed it, has this been looked into at all? Do we know how many posts Jackal and GE had at the time of the vote?

Narcizo
05-08-2012, 11:40 AM

Why not? He's got to vote - he thinks there are two people left to vote. He can't make a throwaway vote because that would look terrible. I'd say he's pretty much got to make that vote whether he's a wolf or a villager. I certainly don't see it as a bad villager play.

But if it turned out he was a wolf, wouldn't that point us towards one of the other two as another probable suspect?

Better a throwaway vote than a vote that ties it up with no vote switching and the two people left nowhere to be seen. If he is a wolf and he was advised to make that play then we have some bad wolves. I hope if we have roles he was scanned or is on the radar to be scanned just in case but it's enough of a non wolf move that I feel very comfortable not using a lynch there today.

05-08-2012, 11:54 AM
If anyone cares why I have britrock btw, the early vote with the disclaimer that he won't be around for the rest of the day, and then apologizing to Zinto and saying he wouldn't have voted for him if he'd been around but not actually unvoting him is interesting to me. In the kind of could be a wolf trying to avoid attention and doing his hardest to not piss anyone off way

But I'm sure I'm reading way too much into day one, as usual

Narcizo
05-08-2012, 12:01 PM
I disagree - better a tie than a throwaway vote.

Okay there's the risk that a tie will result in a no-lynch but otherwise I don't understand why everyone is so down on ties. And even if it results in a no-lynch there's still information to be gained from the voting. A throwaway might as well be a no vote.

All pretty theoretical however. I'm still trying to decide if there is any information at all to be taken from day one or if it's just time to start a-fresh. I really hope it isn't the latter.

Have I missed it or have neither of the winners explained what they won from the vote yesterday? I have to think something happened such that Day 1 wasn't a complete waste of time. We know it wasn't a lynch, so I'm really curious what it might have been.

Why me JAG, if I can ask?

As for the tie, the other outcome is we kill two villagers on day one and put ourselves in a hole. The chance of two villagers being in the lead on day one before the herd is thinned out is pretty high. I'd rather see a throwaway or somebody pushed ahead, but it's entirely possible I've always been looking at it the wrong way

I mean unvotes are a regular part of WW. Everybody knows how to use them. So why does CF go into such detail unless this is today's test? I think it's very likely that unvoting specifically has something to do with how today's votes are going to be tabulated

PackerFanatic
05-08-2012, 12:31 PM
Unvotes are a regular part - if mentioned in the rules. Which they were not. If you look back at page 1 now, he has added it to his list. I think it's more likely that he is introducing things gradually (as has been said) than trying to draw attention to particular things.

We're testers. Not participating in a test is a bad thing. Today's test is on unvoting. bhlloy, I just picked someone I didn't have feelings about one way or another and someone I didn't see myself voting for today. hoops, like I said, I don't have anything firm to back up my feelings. My hunch is the trio of Autumn / GE / Jackal are regular testers.

bhlloy
05-08-2012, 12:51 PM
I think any votes on Chubby are probably pretty redundant if yesterday's rules hold. Usually I'm a big fan of voting out the inactives but if he gets +3 just for not showing up I don't see the rush

Disclaimer: I have no idea if he will get +3 but I still think we might be better to look elsewhere and get some voting history seeing as we got close to zero yesterday

JAG
05-08-2012, 12:52 PM
I think voting Chubby is a mistake, unless he shows up. If he doesn't show up, then you've probably wasted your votes because CF is likely to strike him down anyway.

GoldenEagle

Jackal?

I would be interested in hearing what he has to say as well. CF went out of his way to explain the tiebreaker rule and then obviously nothing came out of it, at least publicly. If Jackal also got nothing, I think that means one of two things:

1) There is some validity about things slowing evolving. There was no Day 1 lynch because Day 1 is still evolving.
2) Jackal has a duke sort of role and used it to save himself (and me I guess as well)

Narcizo
05-08-2012, 01:26 PM
I don't know if the unvote is the test or not. To me, it was more along the lines of CF saying we could now unvote.

Ex-bleedin'-actly. All this unvoting is doing my head in. Are we all turning into Danny as the Joker? Test = day as far as I can see at the moment, with Test 1 being getting signed up.

As to why no-one got lynched it seems that there's a very important but hidden mechanic used as a tie-breaker. I wouldn't be surprised if it's longest held vote or something banal like that. If that's the case then it would support there being no real contest on day one as otherwise one of them would have been lynched.

I don't think we should read too much into all these posts by CF - most of them seem to be ways of introducing the rules whilst causing confusion.

Actually, I bet the 3 votes that Chubby and MV got yesterday is because they failed yesterday's test (voting). They didn't vote.

So if you don't unvote today, you'll be getting a 3 vote bump.

In a day that's hard to analyze, I'm voting for him mostly because he placed the 8th vote on a person (me, call it subconscious revenge if you like) when two others had two. It's hardly much considering some are still arguing that there may not have even been wolves yesterday.

Right. I originally thought the 2 he was talking about were the ones who tied for the most votes. But that's not what he meant at all. He meant the two that failed the test by not voting at all - Chubby and MV.

From my quick look through the thread, only 7 people have properly voted and then unvoted: britrock88, JAG, hoopsguy, bhlloy, Barkeep49, The Jackal, and KWhit. The rest of you need to unvote properly (make a vote then unvote it) at some point during the day or else you will likely incur penalty votes. Of course if you're a wolf, I recommend not doing this as a courtesy to us testers.

Looks like an iantersting "run" on teh Jackal. I was leaning that way as well but I'm rethinking. Pretty wary of people voting Chubby - if he's a villager then it's a great place to vote as a wolf as you're hoping for the +3 to get him lynched. If he's a wolf and I was a wolf I'd be throwing him under the bus anyway at this stage.

I'm wondering why Jackal has a bee in his bonnet about Raiders having the 8th vote. Has there been some sort of extensive research that shows that a wolf is likely to vote 8th? If there is then I should keep my vote on Ragone. I don't want to leave my vote standing alone when I leave and I don't have a decent read on anyone - other than faintly good vibes from Jag and KWhit. So I'll

Narc, I assume Jackal's reasoning is not htat 8th is important, but that there were a lot of choices at that point, but that RA added another choice instead of casting a second vote.

Ahh! I should probably have read more closely. I thought it seemed bizarre how he was banging on about it like it was the Third Law of Werewolf. Seems to me that people land on either side of the fence of whether it's too soon or too late to consolidate the vote at any given time based on a plethora of other factors.

So this is the second day in a row there has been a run to save The Jackal after he was the early vote leader. Yesterday it was me who accumulated the votes and today it is Raiders Army.

I am not sure how to use this information yet, but I find it interesting.

05-08-2012, 03:16 PM
You've mentioned his placing the 8th vote twice now. Are you ascribing some sort of significance to the 8th vote, or are you just choosing a random ordinal number?

It's partially because it was a vote on me, and being that I have little to go on other than I know I'm not a wolf, that ever so slightly increases the odds in favor of RA being one.

8th isn't necessarily worse or better than 7th or 9th, just referencing how many votes had been spread out.

Narc, I assume Jackal's reasoning is not htat 8th is important, but that there were a lot of choices at that point, but that RA added another choice instead of casting a second vote.

Can't really argue with people voting for me. Potential to clear up or at least have a piece of info to help decipher D1 voting, and now D2. Don't expect me to come out with a reveal, unless it's about how much I hate New Jersey. Which isn't really a reveal, since that's common knowledge.

I am not sure how to use this information yet, but I find it interesting.

Early game runs are always fishy, at the time it's hard to tell who pushes them (and it's almost always villagers), so there needs to be a second candidate to make people feel better. Runaways don't do anything for the village, only benefit the wolves (unless it's a wolf, of course). But even if it is a wolf, you still aren't smoking any other wolves out by having 2-3 candidates to see vote movement.

All that jibber jabber aside, I get your point. People like me, what of it?!

Have fun at the concert!

I voted for you 1) because of the timing of your vote yesterday, the 8th, yes I said 8th. That's #8. You'll understand why I'm repeating later. Just because it spread the vote out more. And 2) Because it was a vote on me.

I honestly didn't know that I would be such a strong candidate today, not that it's out of the blue. It's kind of strange that everyone voted for who I voted for, but whatever.

Here for the stretch run. As a VV and a first-time WW participant, I'm having a hard time trying to justify a lynching when we have no real idea of any wolf's identity. It's a 25% proposition.

Anyhow, I don't have any strong feelings one way or another. The only strong(-ish) feeling I have is about Autumn and yesterday's vote. It seemed a strange mechanic to lock the votes and whether he initiated the lock or if it was just coincidence, I would've gone his way today.

I don't think that the votes were "locked" yesterday. I think there was no unvoting mechanic yesterday, so there was no way to change your votes afte they were made. I believe it is the case that everyone's original vote was counted. I don't think anything changed after I voted, must that CF didn't give us a vote count until around then.

If you think I'm a bad guy because CF gave a vote count after I voted, well I can probably come up with a better reason than that to vote for me.

I agree. If you are a wolf and used a vote locking mechanic on day then it would be a poor play, and one that I assume you do not make as a wolf.
