I'm heading out for a drive to Mississippi in a few hours, Merry Christmas to all!

I'm also spending a good chunk of time in the car, riving back Monday. So, if you do not hear from me much on Monday, that is why.

GOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHHHH DANG IT!

I KNEW WE SHOULD HAVE WENT AFTER RAIDERS FIRST.

[Raiders Army]

I have no idea why he made this play. Usually this type of character can't communicate with the wolves, so why would he attempt to do this right now? It doesn't make any sense. Oh well.

I am a villager. I am also the next target for lynching, but I'm telling you that at this point it's a close game and this may be the last lynch you do if you lynch me.

[Poli]

I'll risk it.

[saldana]

merry christmas everyone from beyond the grave.

[RPI-Fan]

As I said, I'm not that skilled of a writer. That's why I play with numbers and graph paper all day long.

Just to clarify, The Cultist:

1) Knows who the wolves are
2) Wolves do not know who The Cultist is
3) Cannot communicate with the wolves
4) Counts as a villager in all head-counts and night actions

[Raiders Army]

Well, that explains it then.

[Raiders Army]

Although said in another thread, Merry Christmas to villagers and wolves alike! (and our GM as well)

[Grammaticus]

Yes, Merry Christmas to all, even you wolves

[Poli]

Darn Wolves. Happy holidays, all.

[Barkeep49]

I too will add a warm holiday greeting to all, whether they be the good (villagers, the bad (the wolves), or the ugly (our wonderful GM).

[Barkeep49]

Question are we still off tomorrow, or considering that we pushed things forward are we resuming tomorrow at 10 in the morning with a lynch time of Tuesday at 10?

[McSweeny]

i just moved and i have no idea when comcast we'll get around to wiring us up, so my availability may be spotty over the next few days

I can't imagine us going any deeper than that (doubt it's hardly mathematically possible, at least), and the reason I played around with the deadlines is because I'm moving on the 30th, and won't have internet access for a few days.

Thoughts?

~rpi-fan

This is likely your answer, barkeep.

[RPI-Fan]

Through the night, you were awoken by terrible screams. In the morning, you realize that McSweeny has been eaten by the wolves.

As I'm sure you can tell, this is a little bit off.

[Barkeep49]

Well Dubb bought him a couple of days. Perhaps his wolfie friend will be able to take advantage of them.

Vote Raiders Army

[Blade6119]

VOTE RAIDERS

[Grammaticus]

This one is a long time coming

VOTE RAIDERS ARMY

If this is not a wolf......

[Raiders Army]

I'm pretty sure Blade or Barkeep is a wolf. That being said, there are six of us left. Two are probably wolves. Once you lynch me, it will be 2 to 3, then after the night phase the wolves will win.

Congratulations wolves. I say again, dubb was trying to set me up (although I did that pretty well myself). Didn't he set up Taz? Anyhow, if you lynch me today, the game is over.

[b]VOTE BLADE6119[b]

[Raiders Army]

VOTE BLADE6119

[RPI-Fan]

After a quiet, solumn day, you decide that it is time to again sniff out a wolf. Convinced of his evil, you hang Raiders Army to the gallows. You're dismayed to realize, however, that he never changes form. Raiders Army is a regular villager and a member of the posse.

Posse - You are a member of a posse organized to help protect the village against the wolves. You've only had a brief opportunity to organize yourselves, and for fear of collusion you can no longer associate with each other. You don't know who the other posse members are, and in fact one or more of them may themselves be werewolves! Nevertheless, in the organization of your group, you've come up with a scheme to attempt to eliminate the werewolves. Each of you were given a weapon that may be used one time, at your discretion during the night. As a one-time night action, you may attempt to kill one person. If a werewolf is a member of the posse, they may make a kill in addition to their regular nightly kill. If you are protected by the herbalist, you may not leave your room, and if you attempt a kill while protected the posse will be immediately disbanded. Additionally, if you attempt to kill the person protected by the herbalist, you will be unsuccessful. You will search your victim's belongings afterward, and their role will be revealed in the morning. If more than one member of the posse attempts a kill in the same night, the posse becomes disorganized and is immediately disbanded.

[dubb93]

pwned

[Blade6119]

well, god damnit...good game if its over now...i guess i was right all along about barkeep, but if gramat was the witness it means wvu was a wolf...god damn...good game everyone

[Blade6119]

ardent could be too

dola....

Is there something im missing....many signs point to RA along with dubb, but if I was dubb i would use 2 villagers in my lie instead of a fellow wolf becuase the backlash would get the other villager killed. Im not saying RA isnt, but dubb we know...why not go with the sure thing?

I was sooo damn right about dubb using two villagers...why didnt i listen to myself?

[Grammaticus]

If the posse has not been disbanded and they make a wolf kill tonight, that will keep the ratio from becoming 1:1, so technically, it is not over yet. Although, I'm guessing it was disbanded, too many rules to make it work.

Well, I've been pretty much wrong for most of the way, but I am going to say the wolves are

Barkeep and Ardent as a guess.

[Raiders Army]

Welp. Good luck villagers. I blame only myself for this loss. Sorry about that.

[Blade6119]

Barkeep, you claim your good...the only way i see us having a tomorrow is if there is one wolf or you do a posse kill tonight...herbalist might be alive too though, so if you are i wish you luck on protecting the right person

[WVUFAN]

How do we know if the Posse has been disbanded?

[Poli]

Just got in from Arkansas. Wow. Man, I owe RA an apology. Dang it. Nice play, dubb.

[Poli]

I must say, I have no clue on which way to go now. I believe Grammaticus. I believe in myself. I don't know who to believe in after that.

[RPI-Fan]

You have trouble getting to sleep, and in fact before you can close your eyes for long you hear terrible screams. Next, you hear the howl of two wolves on the prowl, and soon they come after you! Grammaticus has been eaten!

There are two wolves and two villager remaining, and the wolves wreak their havoc!

The wolves have won!!!

Primary Roles

Werewolf - You belong to a pack of werewolves.
Villager - You are a villager, and your sole purpose is to survive.
Seer - You are the seer, and can view the true identity of a man or wolf. Each night you may choose to view the true identity (pertaining only to wolf/villager) of one player.
Herbalist - You possess a bag of wolfsbane, the deadliest herb known to all wolfkind. Each night, you may choose to protect someone by slipping wolfsbane upon him. You may not choose someone two nights in a row. You may, however, choose yourself.
Secret Role(s) - There are secret role(s) in this game.


**Secret**

Witness - As a one-time skill, you may choose to view the killing of an innocent during the night. If noone is killed, then you waste your view.

Posse - You are a member of a posse organized to help protect the village against the wolves. You've only had a brief opportunity to organize yourselves, and for fear of collusion you can no longer associate with each other. You don't know who the other posse members are, and in fact one or more of them may themselves be werewolves! Nevertheless, in the organization of your group, you've come up with a scheme to attempt to eliminate the werewolves. Each of you were given a weapon that may be used one time, at your discretion during the night. As a one-time night action, you may attempt to kill one person. If a werewolf is a member of the posse, they may make a kill in addition to their regular nightly kill. If you are protected by the herbalist, you may not leave your room, and if you attempt a kill while protected the posse will be immediately disbanded. Additionally, if you attempt to kill the person protected by the herbalist, you will be unsuccessful. You will search your victim's belongings afterward, and their role will be revealed in the morning. If more than one member of the posse attempts a kill in the same night, the posse becomes disorganized and is immediately disbanded.

Brutal Wolf - You are a regular werewolf, except if you are lynched you will gain a surge of power and feast on one person of your choice prior to being taken to the gallows.

Cultist - You win if the werewolves win. You know who the wolves are, but they don't know who you are. You are counted as a regular villager in headcounts, including the victory headcount.

[RPI-Fan]

Congratulations wolves!!!

[Poli]

GAH!!!!!!!!

[Poli]

I missed every single time as the herbalist. I suck.

[WVUFAN]

Who were you protecting there at the end, Ardent?

[Poli]

Barkeep, I believe. I bounced back and forth between Blade and barkeep for the most part.

[WVUFAN]

Good game, everyone.

A especially big "Thank You" to Dubb93, who did a masterful job as the Cultist.

[Barkeep49]

Well this was a great game. I'm going to do my thoughts and observations in the form of awards.
Most Improved Player -- Blade
The last few games, Blade has been just scary with how on he's been about stuff. I fear what'll happen the next time he's playing a wolf in a game I'm playing since I think they'll be very hard to defeat. Blade you scared me alot this game.

Most unfortunate lynchee Dacman
Poor Dac went away for the day and found himself lynched when he got back. The whole Dac lynch scared me so much. With that vote I was trying to lay low after all the attention I raised with Raiders the previous day. I thought to myself that it was far safer to vote for some random person, who it wouldn't be discovered one way or another if I was right or wrong, rather then voting for someone with votes and being accused of starting a bandwagon. And what should happen instead? I started a bandwagon. The fear I felt was greatly allieviated when I found out that he was the Seer. I figured at that point even if I got lynched for it, that I had done WVU, who NO ONE suspected, a world of good.

Great Wolf Performance by a First Time Player WVUFan
WVU made a great wolf. He laid low, but only briefly did anyone (naturally it was Blade) suspect him. I hope that I get to be on his time again in the future.

Great job of almost not being killed after a Witness spotting Saldana

I am of the belief that the Witness is broken. By including a witness in the game you basically are killing a wolf. So when Saldana was spotted on the first night, I advocated fingering Grammaticus. Saldana went in a different direction, and with Grammaticus trying to be sutble about his see, it almost worked.

Person most responsible for the Wolf Victory Dubb
What a brilliant move. By fingering a complete innocent he bought us the three days we needed to win. I was amazed that no one pointed out the possiblity of a Brutal Wolf when considering why a "wolf" would fake a role. Great great play dubb.

And thanks to Raiders, Ardent, and everyone else for an enjoyable game. It was truly a fun one.

Of course thanks to RPI for running this one. With each new game it expands the number of people we have that can run games here which is so nice.

A few final questions:
1. Ardent who did you protect?
2. Raiders and Schmdity who did you try and kill on Night 2?

[hoopsguy]

WVU, one of the better "quiet games" I've seen in some time. You were never on the radar at all.

Blade - you were on the right track with Barkeep early but Dubb pulled you off of it. But it was fun watching how good your instincts were this time around.

Dubb - awfully, awfully good.

Ardent + Raiders - tough games for you guys here. Both of you ended up being worked pretty well by the wolves while holding positions that could have helped the villagers.

RPI - nice game. Fun read.

[Poli]

Day 0: RA
Day 1: Sndvls to grammaticus to blade
Day 2 AE
Day 3 barkeep
Day 4 blade
Day 5 barkeep

[Poli]

With that all out there, I'm now going to clean out my rather full inbox.

Wow, you spent 4/5 days protecting either Barkeep or i...interesting since we both survived and barkeep was a wolf

[Poli]

What can I say? I felt both of you to be important.

I must say I had some thought of WVU being a wolf, though I didn't publicize it.

[WVUFAN]

I was completely lost initially in this game, but Saldana sacrificed himself early to protect me, and Barkeep was prepared to do the same. They were great wolves, and really made this fun for me.

Again, great job, everyone. :-)

Honestly he never did, i just came the the conclusion myself that no matter what i did to sway people i wasnt getting barkeep killed before dubb and raiders...i figured taz was good, and even thought that raiders was good too, but just knew the momentum from everyone else was too much and decided to play follow the leader until i saw an opening.

I think dubb knowing the wolves off balanced things a bit, as other turncoats dont know the wolves....his knowledge of them basically granted them an extra wolf who counted as a villager. I would have liked to see either dubb have to meet a certain criteria to find out who they were or not at all as i think it tipped the scales a bit.

Wow, thank you for the kind words barkeep despite my losing performance...I think ive been fairly lucky the past few games in just getting the right reads. I at first thought dubb was good, then after his reveal(pre taz lynch) bad...i never considered turncoat so i was off their. WVU i suspected somewhat, but i figured i had to get the vocal wolves before the quiet ones as the quiet ones dont have evidence i can use against them.

Barkeep, you did a wonderful job all game. I knew, but i couldnt get anyone else to believe me and after dacman died and dubb made his move i knew it was over. Congrats on a great play blinding everyone else to your role.

[Barkeep49]

I would say Dubb equaled the Witness in this game as we almost killed him (or at least I seriously considered pushing him). Once he made his empath play I was able to figure out who he was and what he was doing, but the wolves not knowing who the cultist is, and even that there is a cultist, is a disadvantage.

If we had secret roles like witness and the posse, its hard for me to imagine in someway they didnt recieve extra help, be it a 4th wolf or secret roles of their own...id bet on a brutal or cunning out there

I had the idea, just on the wrong guy as i thought dubb might be the brutal and raiders a cunning...nice game again wolfs
