Wanted to get that in, I'll be gone until morning.

No units, htis isn;t a BK game. ;) You just post that you are doing the work and you will give one man-day of work unless it is an area of specialization

I think this got lost in the loop and is worth discussing.

You mock even as you steal my mechanic. That's fine. It's a good mechanic and I am pleased to see someone else using it.

I will Orate.

In case you haven't already noticed.

I think we should consider all posting our area of specialization. What it can do is make it know exactly how many units of work should be completed on a specific job and will show us where and if there is faked work. I'm also guessing (but I am definitely not sure) that wolves do not have an area of specialization and thus the wolves are forced to lie about it or risk having other villagers become trusted.

I want some discussion on this, but I don't see a downside to this yet.

Yeah, and I brought it up again as you were posting.

I did miss it. Thanks dubb. I would argue people with specialization are asking to be wolf fodder, especially if we can keep our act together. Now there might be a good reason later on to reveal, but I can't think of why revealing now would be a good thing for the village. Of course, if such specializations are pretty widespread then I think the point becomes less consequential.

From the rules "All of you have various skills that might come in handy in certain camps and areas. At the end of the day, results will be posted, but not how much work each individual did. At that point, you will know whether or not you were successful."

I will be out from 5:30 or so until bout 9:30 or so

Thankfully the wife is running late (as usual).

I will orate

gladhandle

vote anxiety!

I have softball, so Ill be gone most of the night :)

lol, no voting today Clap

Ok based on that mass reveal seems good and so I will admit that I'm good at working the Treasury.

I say we go with this as well. I am good at food distribution

For this to really work, hopefully everyone will end up posting theirs as well.

I don't hope. I expect.

Since I'm still trying to figure out what is happening I am just going to check in at the moment. My skill is neither of the two today so I will also wait to see how this plays out before I decide upon which to do, or wait to see if a mission is planned and if that would fall in line with my skill better.

Checking in, and checking out for the night. In bed in a few hours for a really early start at work tomorrow, then back around 10 AM ET. I'll catch up on anything then.

Not really sure if this would help anything except giving the "wolves" an idea of who to target.

Except since everyone has an ability, and we don't know which days will need which abilities, there's no reason for everyone not to reveal. By revealing we can maximize our utilization and perhaps catch the wolves in a lie. This is how things have worked in my 2 cathedral games and my 3 spawn games. I know of what I speak.

If I recall correctly, I'm really good at searching.

im a gladhandler, whatever the hell that is :)

Then you should be working on gladhandling today :)

Ok, this is good to know. So you're useful today. Are you 2x 3x 4x 5x more useful than the ordinary person?

Presumably this goes to today's mission. So Poli should work on that instead of our conversion.

to greet others with enthusiasm, esp. feigned enthusiasm

I'd like to see us work out who is doing what as a group before anyone decides to go on the mission. If we use our specialization, we can send a max # of people on the mission and force the wolves to fake in order to not complete everything.

So far

BK- Working the Treasury
Danny- Food Distribution
Poli- Searching
Claphamsa- Gladhandling

I am a good gladhandler. I'm able to do 3x the work that a normal person would perform in this area.

Ok, so if Clap is a 3x, then I believe we should put Clap, Dubb and two others (or one if there is another with that specialization) on Gladhandling and no one else. This frees up a lot of other people for the mission and if a wolf fakes there is a limited selection of players to choose from.

I think people should only reveal specifics when appropriate. So even though we're using Poli's skill today there's no need for detail since we don't know what our ideal # is. Where as dubb and clap seem to be able to perform a majority of our gladhandling work by their lonesome. It would help if clap reveal the specifics of his ability.

Agreed

And by using Poli's skill I mean Poli should be using his skill to search. Not that this has already been done.

I don't see a real downside to disclosure either. Well, actually I can think of one. It's possible the Sympathizers have the ability to disrupt our work, possibly by blocking an individual. In that case disclosure would help them. But that seems unlikely enough that catching them in lies will be a much bigger upside.

So, I have a specialty in hunting. I don't think anything that's come up so far will work towards that, so I'll just go wherever we need a number.

Now there's some good thinking. It would suggest that perhaps we don't want to cut it so close.

I am also a Gladhander at 3x strength

POLI GOES ON THE MISSION

My skill is searching, so I think I should go on the mission. Not sure if that will apply to trapped miners, but it certainly could.

I have to think it does.

My bsdar is starting to get pinged. Three gladhandlers at this point and not a single other specialty has more than one at this point. I guess we play the wait and see game for everyone to reveal.

That's not true. I count 5 specialties revealed so far. Who is the third gladhandler?

Okay, off to my function. See ya all when I get back

Me, clap and Dubb.

If someone wants to think I'm a wolf for it, fine. But it wasn't coincidence that I was all over asking how to put my action in like white on rice.

Thanks. Missed your reveal.

So presumably we have 9 out of 8 required units completed there.

:eek:

I think I'll wait and see if the other ones have 3 people specializing in them too before I assume that is the truth.

Seems to me that role speculation at this point distracts us from the main issue which is to get this camp converted. I'll trust that any roles we do have are wise and efficient in their duties for now and worry about which ones if any are around later.

Ready to go to work on either mission. I don't think my particular specialty will help either of the two missions.
