Werewolf XIII: Ascension of the Packmaster (ENDGAME: See Post 812)

Really? We're down a Seer and an Alchemist. You've got to be kidding me. _-_ This is a really dangerous role that we're keeping around. I hope this is the right decision you're making.

dmaster out.
 
repeat what you said in english.

also my role doesn't allow me to hide anything. i just choose not to talk about it

Apparently you didn't read the "sear" role right. He was WORTHLESS. Actually, he was worse than worthless, he was a danger to the town. He would have unwittingly wrongly accused people of various things, and caused on heck of a mess later down the road had he lived.

I'm glad he is gone, as he was a danger to the town.
 
So meesie, what gives you this idea about lakak's role? You seem quite certain that you are right? You're nringing up a bunch of technicalities that wouldn't seem obvious to me at all.

Lakak, what do you mean your role doesn't allow you to hide anything. Do you have to answer questions that are presented to you about your role? I s what meesie said correct?

Now that we have woken people up and actually gotten them playing lets look at some other players.

SS7, where's that night analysis you were talking about? Did you forget? I feel like your posts were alot of "I'll post later, but don't expect much then either.". I know you can do better than that. How about you weigh in on stuff that was discussed today?

ShineyGyarados, You've been posting a bare minimum, and I know how effective you can been when you're playing very actively. I need to see more of that, or I could consider you for a lynch.

I'm putting out suggestions guys, because I'm not liking the idea of voting lakak. As I said before, Lakak is good for the town, even if he isn't the best at picking his targets.

I don't think LEX would be a good idea for King next game day. I think I'd like to see Absol Trainer for king. But this is all for the kingmaker to decide, and I'm unconvinced that this is a good topic for discussion during the day.

About my night update. I'm a senior in college, trying to keep my 4.0 so that I can get into dental school. I'm very busy with extracurricular activities and numerous labs throughout the day. You'll notice that my posts are in evening, because I only get a limited amount of time on the forums each day. However, I should have posted my night analysis much earlier, otherwise it does nothing to help the town.

As night fell over the village, those still among the living went about their regular lives as best possible. Artisans ran about, finding raw materials possibly the Alchemist and other roles?, women went to the local wells to draw needed water for the evening, and children cowered in their homes, fearing what happened to the Duke's Son would happen to them. One guild lay dormant, not noticing the subtle spell cast over their denizens Clearly there are multiple factions at play here. And the dreams of sleep came to those who slept.

One person chose to follow another, hoping to discover his true motivations. After seeing him run a few menial errands, that person headed to the church. But, before he could investigate further, the player went into the Cathedral. Attempting to follow him inside, the Priest stepped in front of him. “Would you that easily violate the sanctity of a confession? Leave, and let God judge your conscience, you brute!” With the large doors slammed in his face, he retraced the steps of the man who entered the church. Seeing where he came from, he knew exactly who had entered the confessional that night. He made a few quick notes on his parchment, then returned to his house to sleep for the evening. The detective clearly is following someone, but they enter or are protected by the Priest.

The Kingmaker, checking to see if the night was clear, stepped into the darkness. Most of the citizens had gone to bed, and only the bleakness of twilight was his companion. He threw the bag of Kingdom over his shoulder and began his journey to leave the crown to its rightful owner.

As he neared the abode of the new King, he heard a disquieting sound: a group of rustlings in the woods near the abode of the future king! Rushing to the door, he peaked in the window to see a normative sight:

A child, sleeping alone... The apprentice of the alchemist

...which was strange, considering an adult male slept within these walls, somewhere.

Quickly sneaking to the door, he began to pin the the bag with the crown inside so that the house's master would find it the next day. As he was about to apply his trademark knife, he heard a bloodcurdling scream emanate from the side room.

Running to the side window, he saw what he feared was not the source of that earlier rumbing: Werewolves were mauling a man with long flowing robes. Their claws and muscles ripped the man into two pieces, discarding the unneeded carcass into a vat of acid when they were finished. That acid could never be used for its original purpose, the conversion of metal to gold. For the Wolves had claimed as their first victim Ikrit, the town's Alchemist!
--------------------------------

18. Alchemist (Ikrit):

With Ikrit no longer a living choice for king, the Kingmaker knew another player must be chosen. With the wolves now disappearing into the woods and the Alchemist's apprentice now awake and weeping over the dissolved bones of his master, the Kingmaker set of for a new house. Checking to make sure THAT person was alive, he pinned the bag on the door and went to sleep. So much for a quiet, uneventful night...

The morning brought the discovery of Ikrit's dissolved body and the knowledge that a new Alchemist, young and inexperienced would be working with lethal and deadly materials. Perfectly normal.

But the biggest news was the emergence of Diaz from his abode. The new king stood tall and proud, ready to dispense HIS brand of justice to the town that day. Diaz is the new king.

That was not a very "eventful" night. The night update was pretty skimpy on details that I'm usually able to bring out as evidence for or against players. (Different from Absoltrainer's in this regard)


About today's discussion:

With Lakak already having killed a wolf, and especially with him a high priority target for the wolves tonight, it seems to me like using as much of his role as possible would be a good idea. If he knows he is going to die, then he might as well bring as many people with him. So, are the wolves going to "waste" a kill on Lakak if he has expended his killing potential (hitting 2 townies in the process) or are they going to rid the town of his vigilante/independent killing ability, on the chance that he still has the ability to kill more. I don't know which they would chose.

I would second:

KING: Absoltrainer

For obvious reasons Absol would be a great king, and I could support his decisions. For the lynch, however, I'm undecided.


By the way. We have AT LEAST 1 more seer. The MADMAN said that he was the only seer, MEANING there is at least one more (because the madman says false things.

False. He KNEW he was the town madman. If he knew that the roles/alignments he was getting were inverted, then he could easily invert them again and give us the correct info. Say he investigates AAM, and is told that AAM was a wolf. He would say to us that AAM was a townie, because the opposite of wolf is townie. (or at least that's what I think his role means) He could was only a slightly underpowered seer, and NOT a danger to the town if played correctly. Again, from my assumptions about how his role would have worked.
 
I think people are rushing into voting for lakak. He could possibly have the most important role in this game. By letting us have more than 1 kill a day we have a much higher chance of killing a wolf.

It seems like some people like Time For Pain and Kezzup are a little too eager to have Lakak lynched with no really good reason. I would keep them in mind when thinking about who might be wolfs because the wolfs definitely want Lakak gone.

Reader, our votes don't count for anything, I'm not really sure why people vote for him, other than to let the king know that they want him gone, which would be stupid, IMO.
 
i know that our votes don't really count. But they made it clear that they want him gone which is just a little suspicious at this point in the game...

Reader: Lakak may have the most useful role in the game, but he shows no discretion with it. He will proceed to kill townies until he is stopped. I doubt the wolves are very concerned about him seeing as how hes going to bring down mostly townies with his gun and that he is more likely to receive priest protection at night time. And as for the "most useful" role in the game, its still likely hes an indie which would make him extremely dangerous to the town.

Pikamaster: Diaz asked for our input for the lynch and this is one of the most clear ways to do it. It makes plenty of sense. Especially since cardz is kind enough to tally them for us. Its not stupid at all.

I DID say "other than letting the king know who they want gone"...:rolleyes:
 
This is what his role was:


10. fire spin (fire spin): You are the Town Seer, ignored by the Guards when you decreed that the Town would be attacked by Wolves and those in charge would be killed. Now that the Wolves have integrated themselves into the town, you must use your powers to discover them.

Each night, you will PM me the name of one player still in the game. You will then learn the alignment of that player.

WIN CONDITION: Town Wins.

(NOTE: This Seer is the Madman and will receive false results on all searches.)

No where in his role description does it say that he is the town madman. There is a note, as in, and added note saying that he is the town madman. Why would the town madman know he's a madman? Also, false info does not mean it will work to reverse it.
 
296.

I pretty much agree. fire_spin did not know he was the madman. I BELIEVE that you are wrong about reversing it though. Cardz seemed to imply that ALL his searches would be wrong. This would make the strategy of inverting all his suspicions yield correct results. Unfortunately, Im not sure if he posted any opinions about other players.

Well, then that was a fail on my part. I misread Cardz' post.
 
297(haha, the last thing I need is another warning)

Ok, so the reason my posts have been shorter and less frequent is mostly because the town does not seem interested in the points that I bring up. Ex: I have posted about trying to discover connections to the French Revolution, the name Jacob, and already having two children in the town, when I cant even really remember having one before.

But dont get me wrong, it is not like I am not interested in what the rest of you are trying to find out; I would also like to know the full extent of Lakak's role, and how he has been choosing who to use his role on. I am also interested in who the next king will be as well as who the king will choose to be lynched today. The only problem is, I do not have anything to say on these points. Im not going to quote someone else's post, mix around some words and post that as my own.

This by the way is why I do not see inactivity as a good judge of who to kill. I have posted like three times this game, but each of my posts have had new thoughts that I had on this game, or discussion points I would like the see utilized or original feedback to other's posts, while some people like to make multiple, short posts, many of which contain restated information. It is (for the most part) just a difference in play styles, not alliances.

What i understand about Fire Spin's role: He was unaware that he was not receiving correct information. This role still could have been helpful though. He could have made a post(or multiple posts) telling us what information he had recieved(even though it had been wrong) then when he died(or we killed him for being wrong) we would have learned about his role, and reversed the alliances he posted.

About town people voting: I do not see it as a waste of time. To me voting has always been a very significant thing. There have been a few times in the past when I advocated the lynching of someone, but never voted for them, simply because, to me, it was something that should not be done lightly, and only when I am SURE that their death would benefit the town. I do however understand that not everyone sees voting that way. So... this paragraph didnt really mean much:thumb:

About Lakak: I am always hesitant to support someone being lynched because of their role, when I only know one part of their role. All I can see is that Lakak has some way of killing people. We do not know if he has to target a certain amount of people everyday. We do not know if he gets to choose the people that he targets with his role. We do not know how accurate his role is. We do not even know if killing is all he can do. Quite frankly we will probably not ever learn any of this for sure until either he dies, or a seer targets him, tells the town, and then dies to confirm their role.

One last thing: I am hesistant to vote on who the kingmaker should target next, or if we should force(not really. Its not like there is anything we could really do) Lakak to discuss why he chose the people he did, or who he is going to choose next. This statement also applies to requesting priest-ing, or requesting someone else to be seer-ed. We do not know the full extent of anyone's role but our own until that person dies, and their role is revealed to the town. Imagine if someone had requested the Jason to be seer-ed, and Fire Spin had used his ability and told us all he was a wolf. That would not have gone so well, especially since we would have probably killed Fire Spin the next day for "lying"(not really sure on the definition here: if he thought he was telling the truth, is it lying?) Also these votes could be swayed by wolves/indies. Long paragraph(with lots of paranthesis) short: I do not like voting for kingmaker's role or any other role.

Done. For now.

Time for some last minute work. I will be voting this afternoon. Until then, I need more input from you guys. We as a town have really put the decision making in the hands of the king. What we've been doing is discussing, then letting the king decide rather than discussing, then advising the king, then letting the king make a decision. I propose that for next game day, we as a town make every single player cast a vote before the king makes a decision. This will force the wolves to take a concrete stand. I think that this will absolutely help the king in making decision and help us find a wolf. We can enforce this by lynching players who don't make a vote.

The whole stuff with meesie is interesting, and I think that Cardz needs to figure out whats going on there. A deleted post in this thread is a big deal. I will not be lynching meesie today, hoping to see how that plays out.

@d master- Tell me why I should keep you here. If it's not good, I might not keep you here. Seriously. Time for you to show your worth.

@Town- Please give me last minute feedback on who we should lynch. I really am undecided as of right now.

@PkB it might be time for those last words.

Does anyone have a problem with me lynching PkB?
 
Diaz, just a couple of things.

1. Meesie is getting replaced.

2. I say that voting for PkB is probably your best option, I can't see anything better.

And I'm off for the day, I probably won't be back before the vote is cast.
