Werewolf Small Game VI -- A Bowl of Red (GAME OVER CHEATERS WIN!)
 

There is trouble afoot at the Greater Werewolvia Chili Cook-off. Last years winner, Winnie Vandergroot, has apparently had her special Chuck Wagon Chili recipe spiked with pickle juice just as the judges came to her booth! There has been a pause in the action as the judges realize there may be cheaters amongst the contestants. Can they find them before they season again?

This is a very small and basic Werewolf game. I am limiting it to 11 players. I'm planning to send out roles sometime Wednesday or Thursday, but can start earlier if we fill the roster and everyone is amenable...full rules will follow before game start.

Signups:
1. Barkeep49
2. SnDvls -- veteran contestant, lynched day 4
3. MollyMurphy
4. ImTheCrew -- organizer, lynched day 1
5. Jonathan Ezarik -- guard, eliminated night 4
6. Dodgerchick -- regular contestant, lynched day 2
7. ntndeacon
8. Blade6119 -- regular contestant, eliminated night 1
9. Marathoner -- regular contestant, lynched day 3
10. Chief Rum
11. bsak16 -- regular contestant, lynched day 5

Alternates:
1. Tyrith
2. Alan T

Rules: This is a basic game of Werewolf. Your goal is to find the cheaters. If the cheaters get to an even ratio with the competitors they win. The competitors win if they eliminate the cheaters.

You must put your entire vote in bold before the deadline each day, for example: VOTE PATH12.
Non-bolded votes will not count. You may change your vote as often as you like, but must unvote (in bold) your previous vote before voting again. Ties will be broken by the longest held vote.
Roles will be revealed upon elimination. Night actions must be PM’d to me before the night action deadline. Feel free to PM me with any questions you might have.

Everyone (good and bad) has a name and a recipe name assigned to them, and have all received different initial PM’s.

Roles:
Good:
Organizer (Seer) – Got to know all contestants while setting up the cookoff. Can check one competitor each night to see if they are a cheater.

Guard (Bodyguard) – Can guard any one competitors chili each night. If this chili is targeted by the cheater the cheat will fail. There is a 50% chance that the guard will see who made the attempt. Cannot guard the same person two days in a row.

Veteran Competitor (Hunter) – If the game ends up with the Veteran Competitor and a cheater then the veteran competitor will catch and reveal the last cheater, thereby winning the game for the competitors.

Regular Competitor (Villager) – Wants to find the cheaters before they spike their chili!

Bad:
Cheaters (Wolves) – Can PM each other. Can attempt to spike one person’s chili each night.

Nosy Competitor (Sorceror) – Spied the cheaters plotting so knows their identity. Wins with the cheaters but counts as a regular competitor for ratio purposes.

Roles will be going out soon. I'll use the player list in the first post to reflect current status.

I'd like to play.

put me down too please

In. Please be nice to me guys. I usually am pretty busy at work and may be quiet during the day but I will be around at night. Lathum is gonna help me so I don't mess up to bad.

BTW I am Lathums fiance. Be nice. :)

Ok, got it. Must be nice.

P.S. I had been hoping you'd be another 0 post player. Instead you join ITC in the 1 post club.

Hey guys, I hope noboby minds if I help my fiance. I'm gonna tell her to do the opposite of everything I say :). I am just gonna make sure she doesn't violate any ettiquete and maybe give her updates while she is busy at work.

P.S. you don't have to be that nice to her!

count me in

Mmmm. Chili. I'm in.

w00t!

in, although i just got a job so not sure how much i can participate.

I will play if you need someone to fill out the roster -- aka, put me down as an alternate right now.

sounds like a fun concept. I am in. I just need to find my Guatamalean Insanity Chiles.

what green chili gets no love? what's up with that? :p

DC signed up, so i have to sign up :)

VOTE MOLLYMURPHY

I had to be the first :)

Isn't anything but red a sin in Texas? ;) I'm hoping to have all sorts of types. Recipes are welcome too!

Path, I'll be an alternate as well if you need someone to start the game.

Since I'm doing the next large game, I'd rather sit out and let someone else play with more time to dedicate (if I live long enough for it to matter).

Path, did you post a thread in GD for signups?

Not yet, it seemed a small enough game that I hoped it would fill pretty fast from people in here. I'll look back and figure out how to post a link and then put a notice in there today.

Just post this link in a thread in the general discussion forum, it should get them to this thread directly:

Thanks, Alan! Just posted in GD.

You know she has to die just by her mere relation to you right? ;)

Is it? Could be; we're amongst the several thousand transplants from So.Cal.

I've thought a lot about moving to Austin myself. I love that town. Maybe in a couple of years once the stepson is out of college.

you have a stepson in college!:eek:

( I always thought of you as a younger guy)

based on the what year you were born in thread, I think Path is in his mid-40s? I know Lathum, Sndvls and I are all the same age I believe.

45 this April, I believe I'm the oldest player here by a fair margin. I'm glad that at least I type young. :)

Didn't Bucc play in one of these games before? For some reason I remember he did.

path, you old wolf you!. :)

Out of college! I also thought you were much younger; I thought tanglewood and Tyrith were older and they're both 19 I think.

Austin is a beautiful city and there's so much to do; it kinda reminds me of my beloved So.Cal without the smog and horrendous traffic. I think the news stated that about 40,000 are expected to move here this year alone! :eek:

late dola,

I just thought of something... path, you're old enough to be blade's dad!!! :eek:

:p :D

It wasn't me!

Actually now that I think about it, I guess I'm old enough to be a bunch of people's dad around here........*sigh*. Now, where did I put that walker....? :confused: ;)

I will let you claim my dad if you'll pay my taxes :)

jeez...we already knew lathum cant spell villager, but apparently neither one of them can spell Fiancee

That's what I need. More taxes. :eek:

Aren't you supposed to be signing up?

I'll give it a shot.

Cool, I'm glad.

Me too. I really think you'll be a great WW player.

I'll second (or third?) this. I really enjoyed having you and your amazingly quick posting skills on our team. And the JB poem was a thing of beauty.

If I count right, there's one last spot. I'll take it if it's there.

i wanted too, but my current work situation is pretty tough right now, and i wouldnt have time to post al day, and will probably be working late a lot over the next 3 weeks, so i had to pass in order to be fair to the game.

How many openings do you have? I'm debating joining in.

Do it! I think he still has an opening.

bsak can have my spot if need be, though I am sad to miss out playing another game. However, letting new players play is far more important. Welcome bsak!

Okay I'll join in. Ya'll will just have to be a little patient with me. I've never played, but i have read the rules up top.

Maybe Alan T can teach me how to be a Werewolf player like he taught me how to be a OOTP GM.

I was far more successful in OOTP than I ever was in WW. :) Plus my help likely will get you "killed" in this game very early on. :)

I'm not playing this game, so I'd be happy to help PM with you if you have questions and want to ask me. I'll stay neutral/unbiased so I can try to help if you need/want.

Barkeep, you're still in -- Alan and Tyrith were just going to fill if needed.

OK kids, here's the plan since we're full up now:

I'm going to get rules posted and roles sent out sometime late this afternoon/early evening. Normal deadlines will be 10PM Eastern with night actions due by 10AM Eastern the following morning.

HOWEVER: Day 1 will have an early deadline, since the lovely yet formidable Ms. Path has made it quite clear that the computer is off-limits for Valentines' Day. So day 1 will have a deadline of 7:00 PM Eastern, so I can process at work before heading home.

Glad to have you all playing (especially the newer folks) and I hope you enjoy the game. You will all have names assigned and a title of your particular chili -- feel free to ham it up!

Path, any plans on starting tomorow so the weekend doesn't cut into the start of the game?

As mentioned above, I plan on starting tonight after roles get sent out. Sorry if that was unclear.

errr.... nevermind

it was, I was posting my question the same time you were

Rules are now posted in post #2. I will be sending out roles shortly.

checking in

I will do more than check in. I will tell you that I don't cheat. That I'm hear to win. And that I'm here to toss those cheaters out. Since he doesn't feel the same I'll go ahead and

Vote Blade

hey all, just a quick interupption

MollyMurphys and lathum have lost their electricity thanks to the storms in the midwest, so she may not be able to get online at all between now and the deadline...they just asked me to let you all know so that you arent under the impression that she blew off the first vote. they are going to try and find someplace to eat dinner that has a wifi hotspot so she may show up, but no guarantees, since apparently alot of businesses are closing too.

later
saldana

Darn those cheaters and their cheating ways. we need to catch 'em and force each of our chilis down without letting them wash away the heat.

Huck Ledderman here. My Dalmatian Firehouse Chili is so good you'll beat your momma just for a taste. I can understand those that want to spoil my chili 'cause they lack the necessary culinary skills and know they'll lose, but I warn you: Stay away from my pot. Of chili.

Don Wiltee is a straight shooter and and my Mouth of Hell Chili is so good that it doesn't need any extra spices to spoil it.

Robert Earlman from way up north checking in
let's get those cheaters

that's a very quick vote for a game that just started and has more than 24 hours before deadline.

Ed Shadybook checking in

Thanks for letting me know. We can obviously extend the deadline if necessary.

Shadybook, eh? Hmm....

Heh, so early in the game and BK is already drawing suspicion.

Earlene Riser checking in and a potful of my special Green Seafood Chili. Get a whiff of my wonderful hearty chili.

Here's a napkin Jon and wipe that drool.

VOTE BARKEEP

Dont get me started on cheaters barkeep, its still quite fresh in my mind

Whoops, was interrupted by my kid and didn't finish the description of my chili. Anyway, ya'll haterz stay away from my pot!!

The words "seafood" and "chili" do not need to be anywhere near each other.

Whoops, was interrupted by my kid and didn't finish the description of my chili. Anyway, ya'll haterz stay away from my potful of goodness!!

Yikes, what the heck happened there? Don't knock it til you try it Jon

Ramona Wiltee here with my Cincinnati Red Chili....don't get too excited, it's vegetarian. Lathum can't handle the real thing. We're in a restaurant right now w/ WiFi. I will post my vote before I leave just in case I can't get back on before the deadline...subject to change.

Vote Dodgerchick

I'm not going down without a fight. :p

Be warned that if you pull my hair a certain way I might actually enjoy it ;)

thats hot

No my chili is hot

Well, that's got to be a first. Girl on girl flirting in a werewolf game.

Its not, but i feel ashamed to know that

I didn't realize people who made chilli were such pigs.

[Looks at sig]

Umm, DC has been known to umm "dabble" ;)

My name is George Green, but my chili isn't so bland as my name.

nothing but a first day vote
nothing behind it and totally random

vote Dodgerchick

Totally random and yet you're willing to cast the second vote on a person for the first time this game. Bold. Not as bold as my chilli, but still bold.

Ray Spicer is the name, Frijole Mole Chili is my game. The best description of it is HOT

That's quite saucy of you Marathoner.

And now we have a pile on? For no reason. I think this is awful.

unvote dodgerchick

honestly I didn't realize Molly had voted for her until you pointed it out. I'll reserve judgement for now

VOTE IMTHECREW

For the pile on vote and not giving any reason for it.

Since Ramona Wiltee is my wife I am going to do the one thing a good husband would do. Never trust your wife!

VOTE MOLLYMURPHY

He beat me too it, but I feel the same way.

Unvote Blade
Vote ITC

well a tie is not a good place to be, so I will break the tie.

Vote In the Crew

the piling on is suspicious. but it is interesting how SnDvls seems to have gotten away with his explanation of why his second vote doesn't count.

Whos This? :)

Have to do a quick vote today, as I am leaving for work shortly and won't be back until after deadline.

I was going to throw a random vote at my old friend bsak as an honorary welcome to WW, but congrats have to go to SnDvls and IMTC for the second vote and vote pile on oi DC, for making this not so random.

At least SnDvls had the good sense to remove his vote. IMTC never even gave a reason.

VOTE IMTHECREW

fine. I can't read. lol

Unvote In the Crew
Vote ImtheCrew

Is that better ITC? :)

My vote will remain on barkeep, barring some major development...he basically called me a cheater, and i dont know why that means nothing


He makes the assumption i dont want the cheaters out, which is saying im a wolf. My vote is right where it needs to be

There is something fishy brewing around Blade's statement. I am a DDS not an English major but I sense the use of a double negative. Maybe it's a shot in the dark or a slip up but I think barkeep calling Blade a cheater definately meant something.

UNVOTE MOLLYMURPHY
VOTE BLADE6119

that's a pretty big leap, but I'll let you run with it.

I think both of them were trying to have a little fun.
since Crew has been on and hasn't explained his vote
I'll put it there
vote ImTheCrew
