Werewolf XLVIII - The horror of sorcery hill (Game over)

[Alan T]

Deadline is over. Totalling up votes now.

[hoopsguy]

FWIW, I sent in a conditional order to pass my item in the event that I'm either tied for the lead or ahead in votes. I don't think that is the case, but if Alan shows different numbers than me I may just be itemless (or dead?)

[RendeR]

Actually I was sitting here reading through the last few pages trying to make heads or tails of it all and realized my clock said 10:59, so I voted asap to get a (in my mind) more thought out vote in.

[LoneStarGirl]

looks like izulde is a goner... I wonder what this kill will reveal to us.

Hopefully that Izulde passed his item before he was lynched? If he is a wronged villager I would hope he is still trying to help the village.

For better or worse, close three way races usually have some meaningful votes tucked away. It would be pretty unlucky for us to have three villagers at the top.

Hey DC is here... Hey DC *wave*

You have to play in my and GE's game whenever that is. Don't forget

[Alan T]

Your second day in the school passes and the conversation during the day gets heated at times. Some echo the words of the late schoolmaster,"The only way we will be able to defeat the sect is through cooperation of effort!" Others respond stating the also sound truth,"If we are too open with our efforts, we give a roadmap for the sect to know where to strike next!"

Today the one thing that rings clearly is that no one is missing their chance to cry out who to kill. Finally more people say the name of Izulde than anyone else. One backing his death states,"If you aren't spending at least part of the evening looking for items that can help our fight, you are only in the way.."

With that, Swaggs walks over to the nearby kitchen and grabs a rusty old butcher knife. Path, Ardent and Passacaglia help hold Izulde down while Swaggs hacks into Izulde with the knife. The knife is rather old and rusty, and does not cut well so much screaming is heard as it takes quite a while before Izulde is put out of his misery.

Looking through his belongings, there unfortunatly is no sign that Izulde was a member of the evil sect. He seems to have been another student of great family lineage.


(4) Izulde - Path (219), Ardent (251), Passacaglia (269), Swaggs (302)
(3) Hoopsguy - Barkeep (213), Lathum (254), Lonestargirl (341)
(3) Barkeep - Izulde (311), Chief RUm (318), Render (345)
(1) Lonestargirl - Hoopsguy (338)
(1) Path - Ntndeacon (278)
(1) Chief Rum - St.Cronin (286)


Day 2 is now over. Night actions are to be submited by 9am EST tommorrow morning. At this time you may do the following as well:

1) PM me with which room you would like to spend some time in tonight.
2) PM me if you wish to use any magical item or scroll with a night ability.
3) PM me with any night time actions you may have.

[LoneStarGirl]

I was afraid of that.

Its possible that people might not get PMs at night if there is nothing to report to them.

As mentioned in the rules, anyone who does not send in a room PM, should assume they spent the night in the great hall.

This should speak nothing on the guilt or innocence of anyone or anything people have said, just trying to clear up the game mechanic for missed actions.

Damn it. Catching up, I thought the time was 10:30. I don't know what happened yet, but this would likely have made me switch off Izulde.

[LoneStarGirl]

There is a lot to tell from these votes I believe. Like Hoops throwing away a vote on me at the last minute, and a seemingly 'throw away vote' by cronin and ntndeacon

[RendeR]

ARRRg....that so sucks, and damn that was graphic alan =)

[LoneStarGirl]

I was thinking we should look at those who voted for Izulde, but all four voted before Alant made his clarification about the game mechanics.

If you believe that Izulde is a good guy, then it would make sense for the wolves to take his earlier post and paint him as a patsy.

Who are you talking about here? I came out first on Izulde today, but don't recall mentioning Lathum at all.

Along that same line, you're welcome to examine me all you want, but why exactly am I on your list to look at?

Just because you only ended up with one vote doesn't make it a throwaway vote. In fact, if I'm looking for trends from today one of my takeaways is how many votes disappeared from you over the last couple of hours when it was up in the air.

Was from Day 1. Lathum makes a comment about me being a wolf if I'm alive on Day 3. You chided him for laying groundwork early.

Also, I'm nearly certain you did say that you were in the kitchen earlier today.

Me too. I should have changed my vote, but I didn't like my other options.

Shit. Sorry, Izulde.

Oh yeah. Forgot about that.

[Poli]

I have to hit the hay early after the late night last night. Good night.

[Poli]

I'll be at St. Louis U. hospital for most of the day tomorrow as well.

G'night.

[Izulde]

Good luck, guys

Lesson learned for next time.

I'm with hoops here. Wolves often try and vote for one of their own early as it can pay off down the road, however they're not going to want to contribute to someone being lynched.

[Swaggs]

Well, I'd like to say that I would have changed my vote had I seen Alan's message, but, realistically, I didn't have any better suspects and this was pretty much like a day 1 vote, so there weren't really any better alternatives.

The drive is about 10 hours so I'll be out untill well past the deadline. I will also be quieter then usual since I'll be at the inlaws with no wireless.

that term is somewhat misleading..."Throwaway vote" my vote was made early enough that most were not fixed in who they voted for. The shared stories gave me pause in voting for either you or Izulde, and I had decent vibes from hoops. That gave me NO candidates to vote for with a vote.

[Passacaglia]

Blah, sorry Izulde. We'll pour some magic brew on the ground for ya.

[Passacaglia]

Anyone want to talk possible votes for tomorrow? I'm leaning toward ntn myself.

[path12]

I don't want to talk about possible votes before the night is over, but after going through today's posts the following people seem more like villagers to me: LSG, Barkeep, hoops and Swaggs. Just an impression, which means I'm probably wrong about at least one of them......

[Chief Rum]

I'm out for the day as usual. I can't put a vote in, I don't think, because it's still night, but then I'm not sure who to vote for anyway. Friday's are tougher for me to get on later, but I am hoping I'll be able to get on before the deadline.

[Alan T]

Each of you spend the night in various parts of the schoolhouse searching for various things that might prove useful in the future. Eventually all of you grow tired and sucumb to sleep.

Once the morning appears and light begins to shine once again into the great hall, you all gather together once again to discuss the previous day's events. After everyone has arrived, its pointed out that St.cronin has not joined you. It takes a good hour to try to find him, but finally you do. You find him in the north side of the storeroom, completely covered in coffee grounds. His neck has apparently been snapped just like DaddyTorgo from the previous night.

The sight is so gruesome, several of you fear for your very lives, wondering if you can possibly trust anyone at this point? The words of the late schoolmaster echo in your ears however, only through cooperation will you manage to overcome this threat.


Day three has now begun. Deadline is tonight at 10pm EST. Once again, this game I am accepting conditional orders. if you will not be here this evening, feel free to submit one if needed. Also I will likely be a bit late to post tonight's deadline, but do not forsee it being much past 11 or 11:30pm EST. Sorry for any inconvienance!


During this day you may do the following:

1) Vote for a player that you feel is a sect member to kill. (post in the thread)
2) Vote for no kill at all. (Post in the thread)
3) Pass an item, ingredient, potion or magical item to another player (PM me with the information.)
4) Attempt to create a new potion or magical item (PM me with the ingredients and/or items you wish to use in your recipe)
5) Drink a potion (PM me)
6) Throw a potion at someone else (PM me, results will be publically shown in the thread at the end of the day.)

A new potion has been added to the rules list: Potion of inspection

In addition, if you need a refresher on what items or ingredients you currently posess, feel free to drop me a PM asking.

[Lathum]

OK< I slept in the storeroom last night and saw nothing.

I can also confirm it was I who Passacaglia passed the potion to and it is the potion of eternal bond. I don't have the ingredients to make it. I didn't get home until after the deadline last night and I think it's always bad to reveal to much in the night phase which is why I am revealing now.

I did find an ingredient last night.

[hoopsguy]

Another night of finding nothing in the kitchen. Guess it beats being the night kill, but still not the results I was hoping to see.

[hoopsguy]

Lathum, you never did explain why you voted for me yesterday. I would like an explanation at some point, especially considering how close I came to being the lynchee.

[Lathum]

VOTE HOOPSGUY

[hoopsguy]

I would laugh harder if this was Day 1.

[Lathum]

UNVOTE HOOPSGUY

hat whol third level of thinking you smart guys talk about.

DT suspected you and was killed, so we wouldn't suspect you because it looked to much like a set up, which may be just what you wanted...

Plus it's day 3 and you are alive.

[hoopsguy]

I think that would be 2nd level thinking on my part, or 3rd level thinking on your part. But seriously, as a bad guy my biggest goal is to randomize my results in the eyes of the good guys. Go where there won't be protection, establish a pattern of kills that don't indicate "Oh, Hoops would want this person dead becasuse of Reason X". With that in mind, I might go against the grain once in awhile just to show I'm capable of it.

But not this game.

As far as me being alive on Day 3, a number of my early deaths are when you are a wolf and kill me early (see last game). This is one of the reasons I don't think you are a wolf this game right now. You would just dispatch of me at night rather than getting into any kind of daytime confrontation with me - less messy that way, particularly in a game without a clearly defined bodyguard role.

why should we believe you?

Thanks, I think. I was a little annoyed that I had to ask twice to have you verify that I passed it to you, but you hadn't done it! On the other hand, it didn't seem like a wolf move to do that, so I was just..confused.

Speaking of confused, I think there's more that needs to be cleared up on that passing. I just passed you a recipe, not a potion. I think you know that, since you said you don't have the ingredients to make it. Anyway, you don't need to have the recipe to make the potion from what I understand -- you just need to know the ingredients, which I already posted publicly. I was really just passing it to you so that you could verify that the ingredients required to make the eternal bond potions are what I said they are -- it might help others who are thinking of trying to make it be sure that I'm not lying to them about it.

[Passacaglia]

Okay, I learned another recipe last night. Again, I don't have any ingredients to make it. Also, no one gave me any ingredients to help me make the eternal bonding potion. No biggie. So I'm not sure how much success yesterday went with revealing the ingredient, so I'm opening this up to anyone (even Swaggs) who has advice on it.

[hoopsguy]

Lathum, you should evaluate my play just like you would everyone else who is still in the game. And if you think I'm the most likely wolf, you should vote for me.

I think there is a risk/reward in that approach; I like to think that I have value as a villager even if it doesn't come with a special role. At the very least, I'll continue to generate discussion while I'm in the game - something that has a tendency to stagnate as we get later in games and there are fewer players.

Just wondering if you have started looking at a Plan B for when I show up as a villager? I think it would make sense to have one ...

Pass, if I had one of the ingredients you listed yesterday I would have tried to move it at some point over the course of the day, either to you or to a designated 3rd party.

I guess going public with the potion depends, to a large extent, on what the potion is/does. If you think that it is something that provides a larger villager edge, then I would encourage you to go public. If you think it is something that provides a larger wolf edge, then keep it hush-hush or destroy it or do whatever you think is best.
