dola first word should be courtesy

Checking in. I will also be out most of the day (I get home about 5 PM Mountain); couple that with spotty internet coverage at times (damn you Time Warner!) and that may be a reason why I'm quiet. FWIW, my internet is usually spotty in the morning instead of at night.

I look forward to this game! Did anyone else get a PM that said they had 20 gold pieces for a prostitute? Just kidding. :)

I too will be out for most of the day. I plan to check in around 3:30 and cast my vote then. Depending on whether or not I can find a hotspot, I might be around for more of this morning.

I will also be gone most of the day. (til about 9 central) So I will have to make a blind guess at things early on.

checking in I'm not a baddie this game. :)

Based on my PM I think there is a lot of information out there already. I hope we can overcome some issues to get it out there somewhat early. Once again I'm preaching my information is better for the villagers than secrecy philosophy.

Clocking in. I'll be off and on most of the day and will be gone a good portion of the evening due to night class. :)

I'm here as well. I'll be on most of the day, so I'm up for chatting if people want to bounce ideas around.

Do we think all of the roles are in the game? I would say with a game of this size that the odds are good.

And thanks to a library I should be on for a bit and will likely cast my vote before I leave.

I would be a little surprised if they were all here. It just seemed like there were so many listed.

Well there are 24 people and many of the roles seem interconnected which is why I thought there might be all of the roles in the game.

It is possible. I was figuring that a few were there to throw us off, but I could be wrong. I guess I just always expect our GMs to be overly devious. :)

Checking in.

I agree. I don't see all of those roles in the game either.

20 players have checked in up to this point. I'll cross-reference this later if it looks like there is an issue with no-shows.

Also, I have seen check-in posts from all the people who are in my initial trust list. I would hope/expect some cross-vouch from these people, if it becomes necessary, at least today as we begin to learn how to interpret information.

Initial trust list = highly unlikely to be Jack

I'm also willing to play the location game if others think this is a way to go. I believe I can contribute towards not just my information, but that of 1+ other players as well.

I think variations in weather are unlikely, unless the district is a lot larger than I would expect.

Dola, I'm going to go ahead with this regardless of whether anyone else wishes to participate.

I live in the Cavell Street area.

If I were Jack, I would probably strike when there's fog, right? I'm not really comfortable with the idea making my home known because if there's fog in my area, I might be screwed.

Do we know if Night 0 was a clear night? I have my doubts about Jack being able to process an action, but I do think the Night 0 weather report might be helpful in processing information received.

I have a meta-game concern that could make for an interesting discussion. Do people think it is worth going down that path if it significantly enhances our chances of getting information - and hopefully a bad guy - with a Day 1 lynch?

If the prevailing notion is to leave meta-game info alone then I'll happily do that. But if people want to take advantage of publicly posted stuff that is available for interpretation I'll post my thoughts on it.

checking in...didnt get a chance this morning because my contractor came before i left for work.

my thoughts on early discussion:

i think it could be a bad idea to say where we live right away..i wouldnt surprise me if jack has to give a location of where he wants to hunt for hookers, or if the hookers have to say where they want to shop themselves each night.

Hoops, as far as the meta-game issue, if you are referring to what i think you are referring to, i think you should let it go...in this particular game, i dont think it is as definitive as it could be in others.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Did you find some info in a GM description that you thought might be useful, or are you pulling some wikipedia type info?

Usually someone has cast a random vote by now.

anyone else wondering what this might mean....the inference i get is that something else may have happened last night that isnt in the write up.

at least i'm not a prostitute

fwiw it looks like i may have a developing situation at work today (had a tearful phonecall from an employee earlier and just got a phonecall from my store manager (who is the one who made her cry) so i may end up dealing with that). Work is definately not the happy place that it used to be, I can tell you that.

I'd assume it's just flavor, indicating that there may have been a murder or other death in our neck of the woods, but it doesn't concern us.

I have classes until 3 PM my time(west coast), so ill be back later to chat it up..have a good morning yall

blah. hafta go in to work to cover for a sick kid. wonderful! won't be back till i dunno...9:45 EST? sorry

Okay Guys! I excited about this game! I was going through Werewolf withdrawals during Thanksgiving. GE and I just moved into a new house and for some reason Comcast didn't hook the internet up correctly. GE assured me it would be fixed tonight, but we only have one computer for the time being. I won't be on as much as usual for the first couple of days, but ill make sure to catch in during my off period during the day and as much as possible when school is over 4pm central.

Hoops, you hasn't checked in yet? I know i was one of the five, so there are four more...

OK, checking in. Let's see if I can remember how to play this game.

Just to get a vote in there before my classes... It is random people

Vote dubb

Ahhhhh.....I'm starting to remember what it feels like....

If you are looking at the same thing - check post content, timestamps, and what we know about the game mechanics, cycles, etc. And then tell me if you feel the same way.

LoneStarGirl - I believe everyone has checked in at this point. I'll convert my data into a little more organized spreadsheet later but a quick eyeball scan of the player list shows everyone has posted by now.

I don't have any information, but some folks are hinting that there is information out there. I would like to have something to base my vote on, so out with it folks.

Sorry guys, but I'm just on here for just a bit today.

Random vote:

Vote Fouts

Looks like there were some various interactions due to night 0 actions. Not sure that anyone wants to come right out with them yet.

If the vote looks like it is heading in a direction that I don't think makes sense I'll try to guide it in the later stages. But I also want to give people time to act and see if there is anything to take away from "random" Day 1 votes.

Dola - I want to have a little more coordination on releasing information. Obviously if someone comes out with a cleared list, and supplies valid reasons for doing so, they not only put themselves at risk but also the people on that cleared list during night actions.

Yes, there was Night 0 information to be obtained for some people - well, at least me.

I'm pretty sure the quality of night information is going to be significantly impacted by the weather. Which is why I was wondering about the Night 0 forecast.

Well, I'll go for one of the players I have a hard time getting a "feel" for.

vote ntndeacon

So apparently you weren't being an angel last night? :)

For now, I'll leave my night activities up to the imagination of others. I'll just say that I'm on the side of the angels this game :)

Doesn't look like too many of us will be angels at night. Does it appear to anyone else that most everyone has some kind of possible action?

I'll be here for the next couple hours before heading to class. I will say that I had a fun night last night and somebody made 5 schillings. :)

I see only a few possible roles for you if you're truly good, and maybe only one role that doesn't put a target on you. These hints you're dropping are not quite how I would play.

Cronin, this is the kind of conversation that is always more interesting to have after the game is over and both sides have complete information.

It is entirely possible I'm making some bad assumptions about how the game will end up working and that I'll pay the price tonight for those assumptions. But I think there are a number of other scenarios that could unfold that are less dire in the short term.

Well, I'm in and out. I plan on coming back around 530ish to check on the game again, but in the meantime I'll throw out my old standby vote. Obviously it is subject to change if anyone shares any information.

VOTE SALDANA

I'm wondering if the bad folks might not get some of the same actions as the good folks.
