Well, I didn't mention anything to the seers as I didn't want to tell them how to play the game.. But I assume if one wanted to know if they were the seer or fake seer, their best option would be to try to get an early scan in on someone they knew would be dead. They probably should ask Cronin what the action order is for this game since there is a 24 hour clock.. if they attempt to scan a lynch victim, does their scan get off before the lynch? (ie: would they get their results back before the guy dies or not?)

I don't mind if they both want to scan me.. I plan on revealing though at deadline and will either be dead or have no one contend my reveal though.. so if they want to both scan me and see if they can use that to figure out if they are the fake seer or not, they are more than welcome to as well.

I don't really have an argument for this except that considering my reputation I would be a solid Villager pick for a few reasons.

1. I'm usualy an early scan so it would get a villager cleared early

2. I am usualy on the hot seat ( most times by my own doing) so the wolves very rarely night kill me. look back at all the games, I am very rarely killed by the wolves because they know I will usualy talk myself into a lynch

3. Someone has to be lynced, odds are it will be a villager so make me a vanilla villager in case I am lynched day 1.

Looking through the roles, I think the Duke (with a slight possibility of a hunter) is the only thing Alan could reveal with on day 1 and not be a bad play for the village. The bodyguard is the only way to keep the Seer, Spy, or Philosopher alive and the wolves would be gunning for any of those roles as it is.

He wouldn't know if he was successfully roled as the fool and I just can't believe he'd reveal as the seer so I ruled both of those out.

me hinting that i'm the seer? not at all. i simply think that kwhit's thought bears some serious considering. i don't really see how what i said hints that i'm the seer at all. i wouldn't have had a shot to scan anybody yet. and i'm just concerned about the seer/fake-seer dynamic and wondering out loud if anyone has any thoughts (out loud) to help the seer/fake-seer through that. just means that i'm a concerned villager. and i'm just bored at work - fired off a bunch of emails to the west coast and have to wait for people there to wake up and get to work before i can call on them.

I know speculating is fun, and you are more than welcome to do so.. but I promise I'll reveal at deadline either through death revealing my role or me saying so.

Currently trying to decide who to vote for today though. I was leaning towards Barkeep initially for what I felt was trying to mislead everyone a bit on a very critical way we look at how people might have been drafted which I knew to be false (thus the main reason I went ahead and decided to reveal). Now based on Cronin's comments I can assume barkeep's forcing my hand there was perhaps unintentional and he was trying to be as helpful as possible.

I agree with Lathum that DT's response so far to a few things seems to be a bit off to me.

hence the FAKE REVEAL!!!

remember DT's fake reveal in BK's small game? He thinks ahead, no reason to think he isn't dropping hints early to claim seer down the road.

I already gave my thoughts on some possible ways for the seer/fake seer to figure out which they are.

dude that was MASTERFUL. and then we got jobbed out of the win of a game we ought to have had locked-up.

how could i claim seer? i couldn't use a D1 vote or anything to claim seer - the seers haven't scanned yet (to my knowledge). simply because i'm discussing optimal seer-strategy for a seer/fake-seer game? that's pretty nebulous for you guys to jump all over me.

I'm debating this idea. It could work, but with the villagers outnumbering the wolves by a lot, I'm assuming anyone the fake seer scans will be much more likely to come up villager.

you could easily on day 4 fake reveal as seer and say "look, I way making all these references to the seer on day 1 to leave hints!"

oh the first deadline isn't until tomorrow afternoon?

*shrug*

whatever...not like I can't unvote, and it's always to the village's benefit to get discussion moving and votes flowing around early.

and i think kwhit's idea has merit. i'm willing to come out and say that, particularly in a game where i'm allowed to unvote, there's no reason not to vote early and try to get discussion and defense going. maybe make D1 more useful.

if i was dropping hints i'd try to be a bit more subtle and obtuse than just discussing optimal seer-strategy in the game.

Here's my take: I started off thinking there was no point trying to get into hoops's head. He's going to be aware of all these angles everyone has mentioned, and will just draft whoever he feels like. So of course, I go to my fallback, and look at olie. Has she ever been a wolf? I'm thinking hoops might draft her just to see what she would be like as a wolf.

It depends on how the fake seer works in this game.. Cronin said it was left unknown (only he , poli and hoops to know) how it works. If for instance they both scanned me, if one turned up good and one turned up bad, the one who scanned me as bad would then know that they are the fake seer.

The fake seer could always scan everyone reverse of what they really are (usually unlikely as after a few wolves, they would figure it out and then be just as good as a real seer).. a fake seer could always scan everyone as good (which would then leave it tough to determine if they are a fake seer for most of the game, but it also would prevent them from ever finding a wolf and revealing as seer though)... or a fake seer might just randomly give results (but cronin said there is no random in this game)..

So if I had to guess a fake seer likely is going to just scan everyone as good or everyone as bad .. if the former it probably wouldn't ever matter as only the real seer will ever find a wolf. If the latter, then they could find out pretty quickly from scanning me if they really wanted to.

Cronin, when you say wolves other than the cunning wolf can only night kill someone who has voted for them during the game, do you mean ever voted for at all, or just in the final vote talley?

ie: If I vote for playerA, then unvote and vote for PlayerB later and keep that as my final vote.. Does then either playerA or playerB have the ability to night kill me (assuming they both are wolves and neither are the cunning wolf)? Or only playerB?

Thanks!

Only votes counted in the final tally will be significant. In your example, only player B or the cunning wolf would be able to kill you.

Here's the voting order:

wolf
2 villagers
wolf
4 villagers
wolf
8 villagers
wolf
2 villagers
wolf

There is a HUGE advantage for the villagers here. The fact that Hoops' pick is last, means that essentially, Poli got to pick Hoops' final wolf for him. Now, if I had the ability to do that, who would I choose? Someone who stands out for his wolfishness. Someone who maybe has "world's greatest wolf" listed under his name.

Guys, this is a no-brainer, strategically. I still think my thoughts on
MRs. Schmidty being a good pick for Hoops to make stand, but I think that the obvious choice for a day one vote is Lathum.

Unvote Mrs. Schmidty
Vote Lathum

Yeah, scanning everyone as good would make the most sense. Scanning everyone as a wolf would probably leave little point in having a fake seer in the first place.

In my opinion, we have more information on a normal Day 1. I think that hoops picked 3 under the radar type players and one strong player to organize them and prevent mistakes. It is anyone's guess as to who the strong player is. It is going to be easier to take a guess at the three other players.

I doubt he picked complete and total noobs, but people who just fly under the radar. Do we even have any noobs in this game? I know I was not picked, so if you look at my player prototype, can you rule that out? I am a player who has played some in the past but this is my first game after a long layoff. Who else fits that bill?

I don't know several of the people playing. This is where I will start my research as to who could be a wolf. Who has that spreadsheet handy and updated?

This movement towards Lathum is very interesting. I think the idea that he would be picked and then made cunning wolf or Poli forcing hoops to pick him are both good ideas. I still think SnDvls is a likely pick, but...

I am not at all surprised by this...still not sure why Pass always jumps to me though.

I was a wolf in ONE game - ONE! And I sucked at it!!!! I would love to be a wolf again, but I'm not one in this game. I'm not the seer either, I'm just a villager.

Indeed - it seems a bit forced. It also seems a bit obvious for Lathum to be a wolf unless Poli really did try to stick it to Hoops. It just feels like that's a low percentage chance. I know with 27 hours to go I'd rather see everyone check in and make a few comments first...

I am not sure if the jumping on the Lathum bandwagon is justified. Would AE/Poli be smart enough to do that? The draft went pretty quick from our understanding. Did he really have that much time to ponder the situation? The draft information is beneficial, but I don't think we can assume that it was done under optimal strategic conditions.

im gonna go a different way with my analysis. and then go back to silence!

who woudl be the least likely to get picked? me or Schmidty or PB (based on recent games) so one of us was around at 21 and got stuck on the wolf team! (which could have been thought of, at which point my analysis is usless).

now Im a vilegar, PB (if hes playing) is usualy good, just in a rut. so that leaves us with

vote schmidty!

OlieRage...I like that, might have to use that on my son and husband sometime!

I just thought it was really funny because you were complaining last game about Pass going after you all the time.

Barkeep -- I know from past games that SunnyD is a very strong wolf, and I can't remember how hoops factored into those (GM? villager? fellow wolf?) but I'm sure he's quite aware of that as well (obviously). I don't think SunnyD is a bad choice at all.

While I am perfectly happy with my vote, I don't want to see a huge bandwagon onto lathum at this point --- i want to see multiple options from across the spectrum so that we, in essence, force people to pick and put out votes that are meaningful and can be used later in the game maybe.

Make it 4 votes, I can see you badgering people already and I'd rather eliminate that before it degenerates into constant bickering for days on end.

Oh and you're a damn good wolf and I love the "force poli to take someone obvious" idea.


VOTE LATHUM

Always jumps to you? Come on. I can't even remember the last time I voted for you!

And if you've only been a wolf in one game, that proves my point. You've played a lot, and only been a wolf once. I don't know what game that was, but if I were hoops, I'd be curious to see how you play as one.

I agree with this. We need to limit our votes to only a few people for the reason stated earlier, but early round voting analysis comes in really handy later.

My guess is that they'll have to have the cunning wolf attack tonight, and then be able to have their other wolves attack people based on who voted for whom and when. They could try to risk it and hope their target doesnt move their vote last second though... but my guess is they pick their cunning wolf to target the player that they want to go after tonight (in attempts to get the seer)
