Man, what a game, to be honest I never expected the town to win (and according to our AIM chats neither did Cardz.) I definitely did a number on the town and things seemed to get really boring after I died lol. Like right after I died, the game became random guessing and voting. However I digress.
Well as I think most people (and without sounding too vain) for the first 5 days I was running the wolves. The initial kills of key players like the Priest, Dracula, the seer, ect, were my idea. I had a plan on whom we needed to kill before day one ever ended. In fact before Octillery even got lynched I sent out this PM:
(I MADE SOME COMMENTS IN BOLD RED)

Fellow wolves,
Before I say anything, I have a hunch that there is more to this game then Wolves and Townspeople, and independents. I am talking about a 4th party, the Vampires. The storyline talks about Paris France, and Werewolves are (by story) a creation of vampires. I believe that we another party to keep in mind. I was close on this assumption.
*****Purple = Wolf
*****Blue = n00b to Werewolf
*****Orange = Veteran Players
*****Red = High Priority Targets
This list should not cause offense to anyone, it was a list based off of how much of a threat I perceived you based on experiance and past tactics.

20. Mew*
2. koolkidkaz
3. Zenoz Blaid
7. DarthPika I knew as soon as he role revealed on day 2 that he would be the death of the wolves. His role was out biggest threat and at one point I moved him up to red.

Ok now as you can see, I ordered them by experience in werewolf games. From within the experienced players, I separated high priority targets. In blue, you’ll notice all of those names are brand new to werewolf. So long as we keep the Blues on our side, we can easily win this. That means that we need to side with them (without bandwagon), get on their good sides. The vigilante will be a prime target for us, if we find out who he is, the newbs will follow us. As proof, I look back on Cardz’s strategy in the game I modded, and just in past games. That being said, we should avoid killing off the Blues at night unless we know they have a powerful role. We should target reds and oranges at night. Meanwhile, the blues will have a habit of getting the town mad at them (ala octillery) and getting themselves lynched.
This is almost exactly what we did, even more so after I was killed, the blues remained a constant ally to the wolves.
Ok next, I want to move on to the Orange. Oranges are experienced players that we may be able to use to our advantage. Homeofmew is a perfect example of that. She decided at the CC today to tell me her theories on the game. She told me her “in depth ideas” She does not suspect myself or Mew* of being wolves, as we have seen in the past, she is very stubborn in her beliefs. Keep this in mind, and use it to our advantage.I for one found this hilarious. When Tina told me this at the CC I had to keep myself from laughing. Unfortuently somewhere along the line, she changed her opinion on me and would try to get me lynched.
The red guys should be our targets at night. These are the players who have:
A.) Played in several Games in the past
B.) Know what they are doing
C.) Analyze the events and think rationally
D.) Post tactfully.
These are the guys to worry about. You guys should remember how Shadow Zangoose and Azure Kite, the last 2 wolves in my last game remained under radar for almost the entire game. We saw how Shadow used his ability, and we know that they are potentially dangerous.
ARMondak is another extremely dangerous target, he and Time For Pain are very good at posting tactfully and can swing the vote often. Beware of them.
Blastoise, Lucario and Sandslash are all very good posters, analyzers and players as well.
There IS a reason we killed them first.
So there you have my chart and summaries on everyone. These were made based on past records and posting ability. The roles a person can have can change their danger level immensely. If a Blue has the Vig role or the seer role, they should be considered instant reds. like Darth Pika.As I said, as we learn more, we can edit and add to the chart.
The next topic is siblings, if this werewolf game is following the nature of most others, then one of us wolves has a sibling that is a townie. Whoever that is (if indeed one of us do) make sure you plan ahead, so if we do want to try and kill him, you can defend your stance.
Turned out that this was never a problem after all.
I predict that Octillery is going to get the Day 1 bandwagon vote (though that is subject to change ATM)
For our Night Kill, I suggest that we kill Blasotise Shellshocker. As a former mod of both IM werewolf, and forum werewolf as well as a participant in almost every werewolf game, ShellShocker is an extremely deadly opponent, and I believe he would make for a good first kill.
We had no idea he would be the Priest. That was completley dumb luck. AMAZING luck, but completly unknown. It was a fun bonus to our killing of a red player.
Also I do not know if the Alpha of our group has been granted the “bite” ability, to bite the neck of people in search of converting the vig. Normally Neck hole bites are a sign of a werewolf target, and thus not a wolf. I believe that if the Alpha has such ability, he should focus on biting his fellow wolves first (assuming that is legal [ask Cardz]) That will tear suspicion away from us as wolves, or at least some of us, for a while.
This also never came up because there was no bite ability in this game. Had there been, it might have made things interesting.
Ok so as you can see, I had thought out a plan pretty early on in advance on who should be killed off.
Day 1 continued without much drama octllilery voted for me and got everyone mad at him and Darth Pika argued with Azure Kite a bit, but in the end Octillery bit the dust.
NIGHT 1: We killed Blastiose Shellshocker, not knowing he was the priest. Ikrit wanted to kill off Azure Kite, but myself and mew* agreed on Blastiose Shellshocker. I made the point that we could use the Darth Pika and Azure Kite drama to our advantage during day 2 and possibly get them to kill each other off.
DAY 2: Mew* immediately posted and made it very obvious that he did not like the priest dying. I decided that out of the wolves I would try to cause as much chaos and trouble as I could whilst Mew* played innocent, ShinyGyrados would defend me if necessarily and Ikirt would sit back under the radar (all of which we were doing the entire game. We were all acting cocky anyways since we had killed off the priest round 1. I decided to go after Pikamaster and Darthpika who I knew were brothers and would defend each other. For that I took the aid of Azure Kite who was also against Darth Pika. THIS IS WHERE I MADE MY FATAL MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was too aggressive too early and that was when suspicious aroused around me. Darth pika was (no offense) not doing a good job defending himself and I think was was out wording him. I conviced 8 people to vote for him and it came down to him and ARMondak. Both of them role claimed and ARMondak claimed to be the seer and DP claimed to be the Vogue. At this point I did 2 things. First I sent this PM to the wolves:
Don’t kill ARMondak. If we DON'T kill ARMondak tonight, he might be fingered as a wolf for not being killed during the night. I mean we can always kill him tomarrow.
It's a gambit, and we may be taking unnecessary risks by allowing him to survive one more night.
Ideally, we kill Azure Kite and spare ARMondak. The next day someone will be curious as to why ARMondak was not killed or even attacked during the night and begin to call his bluff. He gets fingured as a wolf and get's lynched
So you can see, I had that idea to fram ARMondak for a while..
I also realized that Darth Pika had thrown out his trump card and to continue against him was suicide, so I did the next best thing, I turned on Azure Kite who at the time had been going a little TOO aggressive and dragging my name into his argument making me seem like a wolf. This released some tension on me because people thought I had no reason to turn on a wolf. Forced into a corner Azure Kite ALSO did a role reveal. Unfortunately he was mod-killed for it. This day was soooooo insanely good for the wolves.
1.) It removed the Detective and another red
2.) It proved that Darth Pika was telling the truth
3.) We think we had the seer.
NIGHT 2:
As soon as the night started I sent out an updated hitlist along with this PM:
Azure Kite was Modkilled and his detective role revealed (AKA he was telling the truth)
That means that Darth Pika was most likely telling the truth about his role since Azure tried to investigate him during the night.
Obviously we should hit another player in the red group since they are the most experienced and good players.
Since Azure Took himself out for us I say let's hit Time For Pain. He is the only person ATM who is really talking that much.
ARMondak will survive the night and people will suspect him to be a wolf. Lucario ex is REALLY convinced that ARM is a wolf and will probably lead the vote to get him lynched. I was banking on the hope that we could pin Lucario ex for ARMondak death since she would for sure vote for him first since she wanted him dead.
DAY 3:
So following my plan, the wolves killed Time For Pain. I have to admit, I felt bad for this kill. We killed the Frankenstein Monster. His role said he can’t vote till day 3 and we kill him ON DAY 3. lol talk about bad luck, but for us it was good, and another red was dead. That left only 4 and hopefully the town would take the bait and lynch ARMondak.
However what I did not foresee was ARMondak investigating ME during the night. I came home from school and had this PM from Mew*
The town is swaying for you, and I thought it best I go along with them since your death is inevitable unless you can sway them another way. So please ASAP make a defensive post accusing someone better to vote so I have reason change my vote. Worst come the worst I think it would be best that you point out a false traitor before your death so town will kill them next day as we've discussed earlier.
I've chatted with shinygyarados and he'll be posting an undecided vote. Hopefully that will buy you some time. I'll be on AIM.
I read the post that ARMondak had made and knew I had to act FAST, I knew that my posting would be life or death for me. So I made up a role:
post 254 said:
I'm not a wolf.
I don't know if you really are the seer or not, if you are the seer, and really did look me up, at least give me a chance to explain myself. If you are not the seer, and are just random guessing, then I guess I'm taking a gambit.
It looks like I have to do a role claim. Can't a say I wanted to do this, this early in the game ,but it seems I have to.
I am the Man of Many Masks
My ability, to put it bluntly is similar to that of Ditto in my game. I get to choose a person to be for the night and walk around as them. If said person is targeted by a role, there is a chance it will hit me instead. I get that person's character and alignment. Basically I become a copy of that person(minus their role). I get to learn either the alignment or the name of their character, depending on a coin toss, of the person I choose .
During the night I chose to investigate a certain person. It was the person who was protected by the light in the update. (you know who you are) That light apparently made me miss the target and it was rebounded to someone else. I was not informed who it was rebounded to, only that I would become another person instead and that it would be chosen from the list of survivors by random. I don't know anything about the person who was protected.
I can only assume that the person my role was rebounded towards was one of the wolves. Thus I donned a wolf costume for the night and walked around. Anyone who used a role on me would see a wolf instead (thus the downside of this role). That would explain why ARMondak (if he really is the seer) saw me as a wolf during thr night.
My alignment is with the town in reality. Although I sometimes "walk a mile" in my target's shoes, I never interact or come in contact with that person or his masons if any.
I was hoping that was town would buy it, I had been on the defensive since day 2, and this was the big hitter.
The
Town
Bought
It.
I’ll be honest, I never expected to be believed…
Maybe it was because ARM had not been killed at night and people were as I predicted thinking he was a wolf, maybe it was luck, IDK. What I do know is that it saved my butt. ARMondak was lynched that day. Sandslash was the one to start the vote against him, and from his post onward it was just a matter of time before the seer was killed by the town, another red dead.
NIGHT 3
I’ll be honest, I felt like Lelouch or Light (from Code Geass and Deathnote) at this time. Everything was going to plan and I was in control of the town, most of the suspicions were removed from me with some lying, and I had nothing to fear. However I was pretty shocked that not only was I alive, but the town had bought my fake role hook line an sinker AND had killed off ARMondak just like I had predicted.
I had an aim conversation with Mew* that night to tell him my next idea:
NJROTC Compact (11:19:55 PM): Kill Sandslash7 tonight…
Mewstar8 (11:20:01 PM): why?
NJROTC Compact (11:25:02 PM): Because he has gained support. Since he was the one who started the vote for the seer, it shows that he has good writing abilty and support. People might forgive him for killing ARM as an accident. Plus he the only Red person at the time actually talking.
Mewstar8 (11:26:12 PM): Makes sense
Mewstar8 (11:26:56 PM): yeah, I agree, we’ll kill him tonight, he might be a threat.
So despite Mew* being the alpha I was doing a lot of the planning an deciding. That’s not to say I was flirting with lady luck a little too much and eventully I knew my luck would run out, but for a time it was working nicely.
Day 4.
It was revealed that my person of choice to kill was Dracula. Killing him gave us one night of double kill (though I was never alive to see that ability used) Another red was off the list. DukeFireBird and Lucario ex were THE ONLY EXPERIANCED red players remaining on the list. At this point the wolves were controlling not only the game, but all the posting and voting, more or less throwing it in out favor each time. During this part of the day:
PIKAMASTER PULLED THE STRING AND CAUSED THE CHANDALEIR TO CRASH….so it’s his fault it fell…..his fault we had to wait 3 posts to vote.
I was sure I was going to die today. Cardz and all the wolves thought so to, and when the day opened up with 6 votes pinned on me, I had to quickly cover myself by saying that I copied a wolf with my fake role then had it reflected by the light that was clearly a second priest and thus resulting me blindly using my role. It didn’t buy me much time.
So my time is up…….or is it.
Z-man comes out of nowhere and says that he wants to be voted off. Saving my life the town voted for him and I survive another day.
The Chandelier fell at the end of the day and killed off a wolf (shinygyrados) and the second preist. It according to Cardz, killed off the last 2 voters, so just bad timing.
Cardz sends me the following message on aim later after the lynch is in:
TENNISCARDZ (11:19:55 PM): HOW THE HECK DID YOU SURVIVE!?!?!?!?!
NJROTC Compact (11:20:01 PM): ….not sure….
TENNISCARDZ (11:21:02 PM): You’ll probably die tomorrow. You got lucky today.
NJROTC Compact (11:22:12 PM): I dunno what just happened. I think it’s a sign from god…..
TENNISCARDZ (11:22:56 PM):lol
NIGHT 4
Me and mew* marvel at the fact that fate and skill and plans going right have allowed me to survive this much. With only Lucario ex and DukeFireBird surviving in the red category, I said either would do. Mew* decided on DukeFirebird and the Pyrite ball that was used to killed the last wolf was the item that was dropped by the Friar Duke.
The votes started to come in at me pretty fast. I had a lot against me. It was obvious I had killed the seer and turned on Darth pika and Azure Kite, and overall had been doing a little TOO good over the last day with Z-man taking a fall for me.
I was going off my former argument using my fake role to try and say that I was a seer, or at the very least I could be bait for tonight wolf kill (I wanted at least one more day). However no one was buying it. Once I had 6 votes, I knew it was over. It took only 1 page and a half to convict me. I had dug my grave….but I decided to go out with a bang.
I made this post:
Absoltrainer said:
Clearly you have all made your decision. I have 6 votes against me and I don't like waiting this long, and since my death will come during this game day anyways, allow me to end the deed. If I am going to go down though, I'm not going down alone.
YES, I am a wolf!!!!
It was I who engineered the death of the key players up to now. Blastoise Shellshocker, Time For Pain, Sand Slash. It was I who created the plan to kill ARM by fooling the town. It was I who led my fellow wolves on the path of taking out key roles one by one. I was the one leading them along. I controlled the town up until now.
What do the wolves do to repay me? I would think they would not vote for me, but clearly ONE of them had different plans. I don’t care how much it hurts the wolves, I want the traitor removed.
Metricus, your traitorous acts have dug your grave!
That being said, I want to leave one other interesting piece of info for the town. A gift if you will, to help even the score, for all the damage I did.
Although I lied about my role as the "man of many masks" and I did in fact turn out to be a wolf, the info I revealed about Lucario ex is very much true. For the security of my fellow non-traitorous wolves, I cannot reveal how I learned this, though it was not by any rule breaking means. I used my fake role as an outlet to reveal this info, but the fact of the matter is, is that Lucario is indeed an Independent . She is a threat to both the townies and wolves alike.
You may all of course disregard what I have just told you, and throw it off as a lie. Then again, how do you know if I am lying or not? I clearly have some source, because I was able to pinpoint the key roles like the Priest, Dracula, Frankenstein Monster, and I had 100% proof that ARM was the seer before I engineered the plan to kill him. Not only did I identify them, but I took them out as early as possible. Being dead, I no longer have to contend with the consequences of my actions. I merely want to pass on the information to everyone in hopes of making this game more interesting.
VOTE: Absoltrainer
That be vote number 7, and my number is up, while other's are down
No one really listened to my attempts to frame both Lucario ex and Metricus (not that I blame anyone….)
I had so much on me that I knew there was no way out. So I went out on my terms. I voted my self off in the end.
Well that’s my 5 day reign of terror on Werewolf 9. Cardz told me that he thought my actions of killing off all the good players was going to make the game boring and the wolves were finally going to win a Werewolf game.
Well I guess not, in the end Darth Pika was our undoing, I figured out he would be our problem since he role revealed since he was invincible to one night of wolf kill.
Right after I died there some action, then the game slowed down considerably and there was a lot of random voting and lynching.
If I had done anything different, I would have had the wolves attack DP twice and kill him off early and not have played as aggressively early on in the game.
Overall it was an amazing game for the few days I was alive. I think I caused enough chaos to be satisfied =)
GOOD GAME EVERYONE!
