DAY 1 ENDS -- http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/...&postcount=443

It was a dark and stormy night. You've all been given invitiations to a dinner party at the stately mansion of Mr. Boddy. However, before dinner can begin, while your entire party is assembled, the lights go out! A shriek is heard, some bangs, a scuffle. When the lights come back on, your party finds that Mr. Boddy is dead -- murdered! It is your job to find who killed Mr. Boddy, in what room, and with what weapon.


The Clues
Along with your role, you will receive two or three clues about the murder. These clues will tell you a person, room, or weapon that was NOT involved in the murder. Everyone will receive these clues (socialites and wolves), except the murderer.

Nightly Suggestion
As a night action, you may propose a suggestion (via PM to me). You suggestion must comprise a person (i.e.someone's screen name), a room, and a weapon. The room you have chosen will be the room you are staying in for that night. If you do not PM me a suggestion, the room you stayed in the night before will be used. If you haven't stayed in a room the night before, a room will be chosen for you randomly.
In response, if available, you will receive evidence that your suggestion is wrong. This clue will not necessarily be chosen randomly.

Accusation (individual victory)
An individual socialite wins the game by making an accusation. This accusation must be in bold, and must be of the form:
I accuse (Passacaglia) of murdering Mr. Boddy in the (Hall) with the (Revolver).
If this accusation is correct, that socialite wins the game. If this accusation is incorrect, the socialite is lynched for his or her rabble rousing. I will wait 12 hours before processing the accusation. If someone else wants to make the same accusation, they may do so, and share either the victory or death (I'm doing this in case an accusation comes right after deadline).

Socialite Victory
A victory for the socialites is obtained if all the wolves and the murderer are lynched before a successful accusation is made.

Wolf Victory
A wolf victory is obtained if the number of wolves is greater than or equal to the number of socialites. The murderer counts as neither.

Murderer victory
A victory for the murderer is obtained if all 6 of the "named" Socialities are killed -- Col. Mustard, Prof. Plum, Mr. Green, Mrs. White, Miss Scarlet, and Mrs. Peacock.

Wolf Kills
Wolves know the identity of the murderer, and the murderer knows the identity of the wolves. However, they will not have PM privileges.
Each wolf submits a kill by naming the socialite he or she wants to kill, and a room to look for that person in. The kill is successful if the target is found in that room, or a room adjoining that room. Here is a map:
So for example, if a wolf wants to kill Passacaglia, and looks in the hall, the wolf will successfully kill Passacaglia if Pass is in the Hall, Basement, Kitchen, Den, or Dining Room. The rooms on the edge all have secret passageways to other rooms, so if a wolf is looking for you, it doesn't matter what room you're in, you have a 5/16 chance of being caught. Wolves can target the same person on each night.

Murderer Kills
The murderer chooses one socialite to kill per night, and does not need to find them in a certain room.

Socialite Kills
Each day, the socialites decide to vote on whether or not to kill a member of your party. You may vote for someone in your party in bold, such as:
VOTE PASSACAGLIA
You may also VOTE NO LYNCH. If more people vote for no lynch than for any other person, there will be no lynch. Also, in the event of ties, there will be no lynch.

Weapons
Here's the list of weapons:
Rope
Lead Pipe
Knife
Revolver
Wrench
Candlestick
Poison
Hammer
Frying Pan

Roles
Here are the PMs that everyone will receive:

We're going to run a 24-hour deadline, with each day ending at 6 PM Eastern. I will process all actions at that time, and get out PMs as soon as possible.

hell yeah!!!

Definitely in, really looking forward to this.

Um, yes please.

Cool!

In

I'm in if you promise not to give me a bad role for making you sneer in my game. :)

Oh yeah.

In

in

I'm in :)

I've been out for a long time....I think I'll jump back in for this one

Pass, by my count this is WW47 not 52 so it should be WW XLVII

And nice to have you back SnDvls.

Oh, okay. I just counted up three from tanglewood's XLIX.

+1

it was a nice 3 month break from WW, but I missed you guys :p well most of you guys & gals ;)

keeping with the theme of coming out of retirement

in

Good to have you back, saldana!

sweet, we need more chicks.

Word.

douche.

well somebody has to be miss peacock

Do you really douche? I didn't think chicks did that anymore.

i will have a new role in this game....mr horsecock

in

Still any room? If so I'm in, I'm a first timer, so be gentle.

Any idea as to when this game is going to start?

There's definitely room. You're in!

Depends on how long the current game lasts! Maybe a day or two later.

I'm going to have to drop out. I'm in Ireland at the moment and don't have internet access (at an internet cafe at the moment in Tralee). Will be back by Sunday, though.

I will have limited availability for a few nights, but I'll give it a try.

Sorry you won't be able to play, Gonzo. Now, if only someone else would join, so I could just put him in place of your spot, and not have to renumber the whole thing.. ;)

Actually, I'll need to drop out if this is starting this week.

I'm flying to Vegas from Thursday to Sunday and will NOT be wanting to play WW.

That's a very long flight. I wouldn't want to play WW either if I were on a plane for four days.

I am back from vacation and ready to play a game!

Sign me UP!!!

1+2+2+1

nice.

how many husbands have you had?

Ok, I'll play, but I am saying this right now: I WILL NOT BE AROUND AT THE SAME HOURS AS THE REST OF YOU, SO DON'T USE THE "SCHMIDTY SURE IS QUIET" BULL. Also, in less than 2 weeks, I'm getting a promotion at my job from coordinating the dock, to overseeing the customer care reps, so I'll be more busy at that time learning the job.

Just a heads-up.

Telle would love to play also, she was busy with the lil-ones tonight and wasn't logged in.

Seems like we have a good group! Rules will go out sometime tomorrow morning, and roles sent out late afternoon/evening.

I'll keep signups open until tomorrow afternoon.

Did you see where I needed to drop out? I'm unavailable from Fri-Sun.

Yeah, I took you out. Sorry you can't make it!

Schmidty sure seems quiet.

As long as your contributing at your odd hours I also would hope that no one would give the Schmidty has been quiet rationale.

I dunno. He just seems quiet to me.

can you just give me some idea what time you are going to post the "i suck, i am the worst player ever" speech....i dont want to miss it :D

But...didn't you see his all caps? That's definitely not quiet. :)

That is JUST what a wolf would say.

I hope we have public roles again since Schmidty's playing of the Incredible Hulk is my all time favorite role playing ever. I'd love to see what he'd do with Miss Scarlet :)

Unfortunately, that's not the case. Rules are up. I'm off to lunch -- I anticipate some questions by the time I'm back!

when are roles going out?

Roles will go out around 6 PM Eastern -- or so. Signups are sill open until then.

I'll play.

Going to try a different style of play out this game. (So I'll likely get lynched on day 2)

Alan is going to be playing the part of "UTR wolf" this game.

schmidty already claimed that role

Hey hey hey. I claimed LAST game the UTR approach. Just a reminder of that fact.

Why don't you all just send your votes to me via PM, and I'll tell you who gets lynched? That way none of you have to talk at all! :)

Does that mean I need to be the out in front villager?

Yes.

And pass thanks for that mechanic! I think it'll really help my gameplay.

I hate waiting...

..

While we're waiting I'd just like to say...


"I'm going home and sleeping with MY WIFE..."

Signups are closed. PMs going out.

Thanks for the notice, but do you really have to share that with the whole board?? :)

i think you and i may be the only people getting these jokes.

Thanks for the notice, I'll make sure I leave early

I just got it.

poor Telle, she is gonna hold him to it.

Well, there's me, too.

I have received my PM. I'm not going to say anything more, though, until Pass opens the game.

Oh not at all.. Clue's one of my favorite cheesy movies :)

All PMs have been sent out. Play on!

Woot! Game on. I'm your bargain basement socialite.

Hehe, didn't mean UTR.. thats not really my style. I get too into these games to be UTR as wolf or villager. I meant more that this game I'm not going to be super ultra defensive every time attacked, and try to not egg folks on either. I think I learned some last game where I just watched by not being so too involved in the decision, my decision making actually improved. Going to see this game if it works as well if I'm not right in all the hubbub attacking people.

THat said, got my pm.. I don't see any reason why we shouldn't share clues. I'll reread over the Rules when I get home to make sure I don't see something, but for now I think once everyone gets their PMs we should share clues.

Back later

great movie. tim currey and michael mckean rock.

As the thread title now indicates, Day 1 deadline is 6 PM Eastern.

oh, and i'm in illinois, so i'll be on regular time! YAY! no more mulling around with only schmidty to talk to in the wee hours of the morning! :P

Socialite checking in...going to be heading home soon but I should be back on later this evening - excited for this game, it sounds like it's going to be very fun!

I'm just a nameless socialite. How boring.

PM recieved, simple socialite sitting boredly in the dining room waiting for some food.

#generic "i am a villager" introductory post#

bah.

checking in. Continuing my solid run of being a vanilla villager.

socialite here

rules say central time, thread title says eastern time. What gives??

Just once I think it'd be hilarious if someone just came out and said "Wow, KEWL I have a ROLE!!! guess which one ;)"

I mean its not like we could just insta-lynch them, it could be a good role, right?

Been reading and re-reading the roles a bit.

The seer and bodyguard style roles are obvious, we also have a secondary seer who can find the murderer. The ones that intrigue me are scarlett and peacock.

All the normal villagers know who peacock is. ;) They also know she's good, now how can we manage to disseminate that to the 6 primaries without giving it away to the 4 baddies?

Scarlett knows all 6 primaries, again how can she get that out to those that need it?

If we can somehow build from those two pockets of data, we can win this game in 2 days flat.

Of course, the opportunity for any single player to win the game on their own sticks a fork in my idea, since if someone really wants to win as an individual they will not want that information to spread.

bleh
my head hurts

2+1+2+1

Poor Schmidty, nobody to talk to.

Pass what happens if the socialite is lynched before a correct accusation has been made? Can you still win the game individually from making a correct accusation?

I am a nameless socialite, but I KNOW THINGS!!!!! Wahahahahahaha!!!!!

Oh wait, everyone else knows too? Damn, I thought I was special. :(

initial thoughts on the wisdom of pooling information to catch the murderer? is there a downside (aside from possible contamination of data by the murderer? and maybe the wolves although they don't have a reason to help him), which can be mitigated by weighting the liklehood of the evidence being correct based on the trust level of the person giving it?

we really need to think it through all angels before revealing what we know.

which is why i'm asking for initial thoughts on the feasability

Why do you think the wolves have no incentive to help the murderer? I'm reading the rules different from you.

VOTE NO LYNCH

My feelings on this are known from other games, and in this game, with information apparently flowing to multiple players every night, I see no reason to approach it differently.

IS it just me or was DT's post in greek?

Why wouldn't the wolves help the murderer? they're goal and his are almost the same, kill everyone and anyone to get the win.

Pass: Do ALL players get clues in their PM's or just the primary 6?
