Werewolf IV - River of Darkness

[Airhog]

Now I know how Lathum and shorty felt :P

[Lathum]

It's to early to say if Airhog or Eaglesfan would be a mistake because we may get lucky.

I vote NTN

[BrianD]

One of these times we have to get lucky on our first lynching...

[Airhog]

And once again you not going to get lucky...

[Peregrine]

Barring any last minute vote changes:

Eaglesfan - (4) Sirfozzie, Swaggs, Airhog, Barkeep49
Airhog - (5) TazFTW, Desnudo, Eaglesfan, Qwikshot, Jeff061
NTNdeacon - (1) Lathum
Jeff061 - (1) ntndeacon

[Airhog]

I hope you guys are happy. You dealt a serious blow to the villagers by smiting me down. I tried being chivalrous but to no avail. I can only hope that god takes pity on your souls.

[Eaglesfan27]

I know they wouldn't get lucky if they chose me either. I'm an innocent villager.

not unless you listen to me

[Desnudo]

I unvote Airhog. Reason in a sec.

Reason being that I've thought about it and I don't think it makes sense to vote for someone because of actions they took in a previous game. The whole vengeance angle doesn't sit right with me. I don't have any particular inclination to vote for Eagles either.

[SirFozzie]

Interesting. We now have a tie.

[ntndeacon]

wow. at the Buzzer. Watch out Desnudo, that's what killed me last game.

[Airhog]

Thanks desnudo, now you've really put a target on my back

[Desnudo]

I'll vote purely based on participation so far and vote Kevin. At this point, we really don't know anything, so I'm going to vote based on how active people are.

Could be that he wanted to skip a day without a lynching, that way we don't lose a villager/Werewolf on day 1, while still getting a day's worth of discussion, something that could help us down the line.

Not sure if that goes in this game..

edit: And isn't it better then being lynched already, be you villager or were?

[KWhit]

I vote Airhog

[Airhog]

Spoken like a true stabber in the back Unfortunately your vote is 5 minutes late :P

[KWhit]

And sorry I'm late. I couldn't get an Internet connection earlier. Damn Comcast!

[SirFozzie]

and THAT's interesting too. TWO last minute votes. One to save him.. One to lynch him.

[Desnudo]

Unvote Kevin. I vote Eaglesfan

Not if the wolves eat me tonight...

There is much consternation over the voting today, with suspicion being cast this way and that. In the end though, by a narrow margin Airhog is named. He protests all the way to the corner of the tavern, where he is hanged from the stout porch beams there. The villagers look at each other, some with horror at what they have done, others looking satisfied that justice has been done. Mob justice is still justice, right?

Please have your night actions in by midnight tonight.

[KWhit]

Ouch. That's gotta hurt.

[jeff061]

If Airhog turns out to be a wolfie I'm gonna virtually slap Desnudo .

[Peregrine]

I didn't see any votes from Fonzie, KevinNU7, Jon, or Tigercat. Better shape up and start voting or posting or let me know to replace you.

[Eaglesfan27]

Hmm. I thought Werewolves would be revealed upon death. However, re-reading the rules, I'm not sure if even a werewolf will be revealed upon death?

[SirFozzie]

The problem now is.. due to the rules of the game, we don't know whether Airhog was a wolf, a villager, or whatever.

Personally I think Airhog was trying to say he was a knight or something, who knows if that's a role in the game. Whether that's the last bluff of a wolf heading to the gallows pole or an actual mistake we made, Well, we'll know in a few weeks, I guess. Time to see what the night brings.

[Peregrine]

No one is revealed on death, that's correct.

[Desnudo]

Using my power of perception, I think the night will bring someone being eaten.

[ntndeacon]

Unless the knights are able to protect us!

[Eaglesfan27]

Maybe we'll get lucky and have vegetarian werewolves?

[BrianD]

So we don't know if we did right or not? Yikes.

[Barkeep49]

Perhaps there will be one among us who has been blessed by the one who created all and we will find out whether or not we acted to fufill the will of the one who protects us all.

[Peregrine]

I'm concerned about Kevin and Jon, neither has been on in the last few days, though I know Kevin said he was on vacation. If I don't hear from them by tomorrow afternoon in the thread, I'll try to replace them in time for the voting.

[Lathum]

Far be it from me to comment on this awesome game because I am up for rules change, but it seems to me by not revealing roles takes away some of the parinoia factor. Voting patterns seem like they will mean alot less. That being said there is a good chance I will be eatin tonight.

[jeff061]

Some of the roles(maybe 1?) have a night time ability to unveil dead players.

Though I'm not sure how you break the news.

[Tigercat]

Damn I go out to see a movie for a couple hours and somebody gets quickly lynched.

[Eaglesfan27]

I'm not sure that it takes away the paranoia factor, but I do think it makes strategizing even harder and therefore we are all somewhat less talkative.

[Tigercat]

Good question, you would wonder if that would be the kinda role that could be safely public for the benefit of all, but if there is more than one and the evil faction(s?) has one and the evil faction knows there isn't just one, an innocent guy doing that would be screwed. Bastard(s) will probably just keep the information to themselves either way.

[Buccaneer]

Perhaps in the interest of the spectators and maybe even the participants, how about a reveal of the dead person one day after the deed (like reveal the role in Night 2 for Day 1)?

Yea, it adds to the paranoia IMO. But the talking should pick up tomorrow if an action of evil takes place tonight.

Sorry, RL got in the way a bit earlier than anticipated tonight. I'll typically be unavailable from 5:30-9pm, so I'll try to be better about getting my vote in early.

It's only the first night, but I think I like revealing the role better than not knowing. Not knowing obviously ratchets up the difficulty level a good amount, but it also removes the "what's behind the curtain" anticipation that I really enjoyed in previous iterations.

That is my early impression too, but I'm trying to keep an open mind as this plays out and we maybe get a hint at all of the roles.

I do think that this way has more paranoia.

[BrianD]

This does help with the paranoia. It will be interesting to see how the ghost voting helps to reveal things. It is weird to not know who is winning, but hopefully things will become more clear eventually.

[Peregrine]

The whole role revelation thing was something I struggled with. However, I decided to go with a more secretive approach and see how it goes. There is at least one person who can see the roles of the dead, however whether they are willing to reveal them, or reveal them truthfully, is something they will have to decide.

[Peregrine]

The dark night is broken by horrible screams and the sounds of battle from one of the small cottages. The rest of you eventually fall back into a dream-filled sleep. When you wake, the rain is misting down lightly, making it hard to see where you are going, yet people come out of their rooms and make their way around to find out what happened during the night. In a cottage, ntndeacon is lying dead, ripped apart by what appear to be long claws. He fought back, though, as a bloodied sword was found close to his cold hands. The people of River's Edge murmur, upset at this latest killing. Will no one be safe?

Votes in by 8 pm, ghosts can vote today.

[TazFTW]

Just some thoughts before I call it a night (unless I have insomnia).

Looks like ntndeacon was killed by the wolves faction. So I would guess ntn was not a wolf, though he could have been a magi. Lathum voted for him. Is Lathum furry?

Desnudo's frantic vote switching at the end looks very suspicious. He was the 2nd to vote for Airhog, which would indicate they are not in cahoots. Unless that is what they wanted to do (draw suspicion away from them as a team).

[SirFozzie]

Ugh. If there ARE knights, we just lost a 2nd one.

[BrianD]

It looks like we get at least some clue about the people that are killed, even if we don't get a full role revealed. If ntndeacon had a sword, he was probably not someone we wanted the wolves to eat. He must have had some role in protecting us.

[Barkeep49]

I had thought we were a villlage united. But now it appears as though we may have two different groups running around, pretending to be one of us when they truly are not, and there are perhas as many as four. We know there regular villagers, of which I am proud to be a god fearing member of, we know there to be heathen werewolves. We suspect that there also are cultworshiping magicians and heaven sent knights. I wonder, SirFozzie, how it is that you figure that we have lost two of a faction that we know not for sure whether or not it is even in our village? For I am most peturbed about the thought that our only protection might be mostly, or completely, wiped out.
