OK, I've seen enough of this BS.
Since we're going into the Night phase soon, I need to get my beginning speech in that I've had more or less prepped since WW IX sign-ups started. everyone hold onto their seats, this is gonna take a while.
OK, so Day 1 is probably a random lynch but there is still much information to be learned about the village if Day 1 is done right!!! Right now, as a town, I'm not sure how much info we're going to glean from this Day 1.
No one gave reasons for voting off PokePockets other than "ooh, he won last time. Let's get rid of a veteran player b/c he might win again." Hello?!?! Where is the logic in this. Although this is a done deal since he just hit 13, this is quite possibly the worst showing for a first vote. There was no debate over whom to vote for, nor were people calling out Wolfy players such as Mew*, who is trying the Imakuni? distraction that I ran in Wolf 2 (yes, Mew*, I'm calling you on this NOW), DukeFireBird for following an obviously faulty line of logic (seriously, dude, you know better than this), and LifeVirus (I'll get to that one in a sec, since it'll take a while to explain). Lakak, you're also on my short list now as you've been in many games and know better than to just post VOTE: Person X. You ESPECIALLY should be more considerate seeing as how you're seeing the light of Day 2 for the first time in a while.
Now, onto personal comments:
------------------------------------
Ryu99: Not sure how you play, since I don't think I've seen you play before, but please give reasoning beyond that which you copied from another player's post. It's honestly really rude and kinda stupid as it just propagates less and less information being revealed to the Town (and, if you're a Townie, you'll be wanting to reveal as much of your logic process as you know).
shinygyarados: I agree with you on a lot of what you say. However, I'm pretty sure you'll be safe tonight. If the Wolf has a Vet in the group (which logic dictates they does), they'll be gunning for a few of the other vets first, especially former Mods and especially those who talk a lot. I fit both of those, so I'll be talking about that here in a minute.
LifeVirus: Having a Night 0 at the beginning of the game is only beneficial if there is some way the town can earn an advantage from a Night 1 kill by the Wolves AND by the possible Vigilante which, seeing the Town's size, I assume we have both (Wolves and one Vig). The Vig is a beneficial role, but should not be used until later in the game where the town has a good idea of who the Wolves are. Since the Town would only receive a Seer reading and few other benefits from a Night 0, having a No Vote for today would only hurt us and give us little information to work off of in Day 1-2. It is too late to vote for a No Vote day, but I would also be adding those players voting for a No Vote to my hit list. That is my only reason to suspect you for being Wolfy, and you have most of tomorrow to help lead discussion to deter my opinion.
DFB: Dude, seriously, Gang voting this early? You know better than that...
backwards: In which post did PokePokets brag about winning Wolf VIII? If it was before Day 1, I say we ignore the post since it was made before the Day's debates began. However, it's too late for that as (to Quote Star Trek) he's dead now, Jim.
Mew*: Are you Imakuni? If so, what is the significance of 2, 3, 9, w, and possibly 0? If not, stop trying to claim the role. It's not gonna fly this time.
To the player who is Imakuni? (if such a player exists): If you are not Mew*, please let us know as this STRONGLY indicates Mew* as a Wolf.
--------------------------------
Now, to close my post. I said earlier that I believed shinygyarados to be safe. Reason being?
I'm a huge target tonight. So are many of the other Vets.
ARMondak, DukeFireBird: Since I doubt many players are gonna go back are research Wolf II, please comment to the effect that the only reason I lived so long in Werewolf II was because you (ARMondak) were the Priest role and protected me for essentially the first 4 Game Nights? It will help my line of reasoning here. DFB, if ARMondak isn't on quickly, you may need to post to support this fact as you were in that game.
For those of you that will go back and do the research, you will see that I won that game. However, I was one of the leading forces in helping the Town discover all the Wolves and simultaneously vote them out. Were it not for many of my observations, I would be very dead very early in the game. It was even stated later that the Wolves' plan was to get rid of me early as I was a threat to their existence.
Why am I saying this now?
Because I'm a target tonight for the Wolves. Whether or not I die is not the issue.
Priest Role (not sure whom you are): I need protection tonight. If we're going to drive this discussion are get the Wolves out and talking, you need to keep my alive. The only other players that can drive a discussion like I can and root out the Wolves are all lying low right now. I could give you their names, but doing so would paint targets on their heads earlier than they need to be. Many are vets, one or two are newer players.
The point is, if I die early, this game will very quickly go to the Wolves.
Preist/Protector character: Please use your powers on me tonight. I will relinquish this request around Day 3, but for now I need to be alive until I can guide the town to the point where other players can take over my discussion.
---------------------------
All the above said, I'm honestly looking forward to this game simply because I think this is a solid group of players with a well-written and developed story leading us towards lynching the Wolves. GL to all and I hope we can lynch the Wolves ASAP. Once they're out, then we can concentrate on the Indie groups (see Post #1, as Absoltrainer as already revealed the fact that there are some Indie roles)
--------------------------
Huh?
.....
Oh. You wanna know who I would have voted for today?
.....
Well fine.
VOTE: Lakak
*sings*Traditio-----------n. Tradition! /*sings*
*does Russion-Judeo inspired dance*
*sings*Tradition! /*sings*
*sings higher*Traditio-----------n. Tradition! /*sings*
*does Russion-Judeo inspired dance*
*sings*Tradition! /*sings*
LOL!
No, that was not who I would have voted for. Just to be official...
UNVOTE: Lakak
From the order of posting and the early "role claim", I would have to go with...
VOTE: Mew*
REASON: Honestly, you could have veiled the Imakuni? role a bit more. I understand posting restrictions, but the one you chose was ridiculous. IF Absoltrainer decided to include Imakuni, I think h would have gone with a more traditional choice in branding the role. random letters at the end of posts and Imakuni? claim does not make.
