How would it identify her as a member of the other wolf team?

RIP Strawbs!

Well, damn…

The news about the lovers is good if I'm reading the OP correctly

Does this mean they can no longer to turned or they have been turned?

On reading the OP, it seems so.

I called raze out on this as the finisher used directly after this had Insta in the name, but they never responded.

@raze_them_all_ - wanna respond now?

Bit of a moot point now but Fixxer's theory was that the 2nd finisher which was repelled could have been someone checking if Strawbs story was legit - it wouldn't make sense for a villager to check in that way as you're potentially killing someone but for a wolf, it would be a win-win as the finisher would either a) kill strawbs or b) not kill strawbs which would mean she had been lying and therefore likely to be on the other wolf team.

As I said though, it's moot now since we know that Strawbs was telling the truth

Actually, maybe…

"Lovers who can be extremely useful but one who is cursed unless they assume their true role – be careful here though as should the cursed one be attacked by evil forces before they assume this role, they will turn heel and join the faction they had once set out to destroy"

The cursed one was the one who could turn heel, right?

So, at a guess now….

The Bloodline's Paul Heyman checked out Straws, caught they were the person who could turn heel (presumably to the Judgement Day), so decided to smack her down quickly?

I read it as they can no longer be turned:

Lovers who can be extremely useful but one who is cursed unless they assume their true role – be careful here though as should the cursed one be attacked by evil forces before they assume this role, they will turn heel and join the faction they had once set out to destroy

The piece in bold would leave me to believe that they can either a) assume their true role or b) turn heel. So I'd read Necro's post as them having found their lover and are now villagers rather than wolves

Again, villagers hitting random players does not help the village so I'd agree that the finishers were more likely done by wolves, maybe to cause confusion and put Strawbs in the number 1 position for lynching. That is one scenario.

Strawbs being a villager, might have been a better move in hindsight to not say you were hit the first time on thread. Leaves you open for another hit and maybe a third. She is an experienced player, would she think of this or acted in the heat of the moment?

Another thought is that some powers are at play which necessitated finishers being user, possibly by wolves?

Or maybe someone has already been found out by a peek or something? Would that happen so soon though?

lorcand1990

my take on that is that wolves were trying to convert the lover but got it wrong & now the lover has realised their true role & is good?

Great thanks

My guess on this would be two wolves attacked and were waiting for a third wolf to join the game to finish Strawbs off - as of last night there were still several people who had not posted, presumably thinking the game was starting Monday.

JohnGreenFan

Curse being lifted sounds like the person has turned good?

fixXxer

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122620435#Comment_122620435

She's gone from the game so she can't be the cursed one? So the other lover is evil now?

MacDanger

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122620457#Comment_122620457

I wouldn't read it like that; as JGF says above, "Curse being lifted sounds like the person has turned good"

Shane.C

You're saying Strawbs was one of the lovers?

Electric Nitwit

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122620438#Comment_122620438

Agree, in hindsight Strawbs should probably have stayed quiet. I'd chalk that down as an honest mistake and assume she was village or opposing wolf

I'd guess at least two of the hits on her were wolf, possibly the other one may have been a villager, just because three wolves using their finishers so early seems a bit OTT. For my own benefit I'd love to know why a villager might have jumped, but I'd understand a villager staying quiet now they don't have the protection from a first finisher hit

It all feels messy, can't help but feel the wolves won the first battle there

Regarding the idea that the wolves had info on her, is it likely they could have used that power so early? I'd have guessed night one would be when those powers could be played...

I think it was a random shot and Strawbs was very unlucky (miss you already Strawbs 😔)

Lord TSC

I mean, it wasn’t one random shot though, was it?

it was three shots, and seemingly took out someone who could have been recruited to a heel team. Maybe one of the three was “random”, if a villager decided to remove her from the board, but the first shot wasn’t random at all, surely.

IF we just took down someone who could have turned heel, that’s not a win for the wolves imo. That’s taking out a quasi-wolf we might have needed to hunt latter….

Kolido

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122620425#Comment_122620425

This part about Heyman makes sense, I alluded to it earlier. Only I dont think it is about heel turn, seems he can only ID the alpha's rival, but then he gains more power, which might be enough encouragement for 3 wolves on the same team to use their finishers

If this is true, Strawbs was probably good?

I also don't think the lovers things has anything to do with Strawbs elimination

The other faction leader is hunting his major rivals and can gain power from their elimination, aided by his associate who has the ability to find and locate these major rivals. With a protective enforcer also present in this faction they will be hard to take down indeed. And of course, nobody could ever forget about The Final Boss… his abilities are.. electrifying.

MacDanger

These are the 4 posts Strawbs had before being hit with the first finisher:

Good morning everyone ??

Fluff

As per Necro

Game starts with an extended day with the first action being the lynch at 9pm Monday evening. After 9pm Monday will be considered night

Game mechanics

I’m a bit partial to using random generators to thin out the masses. It’s worked for me in the past. Concentrate on a select amount and see what they have to say for themselves is much more manageable than trying to absorb the posts of 28 other players all at once.

Interaction with Neo about strategy, seems like a reasonable approach

Ah Vesti me ole buddy me ole pal. Ello :)

This last one is the only once which might be of interest, mainly because @Vestiapx replies with

hey SCC

What does "SCC" means @Vestiapx?

Overall, it looks like a random hit to me; as I said earlier, I'd wonder if there was some sort of prize on offer for the wolves to take someone out first? Maybe that would explain the other finisher being used i.e. the 2nd wolf team trying to catch up and win the prize?

JohnGreenFan

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122620472#Comment_122620472

I agree, I would have thought roles would be night actions so seems unlikely that someone would have peeked already. But with so many players and the OP mentioning that there are other roles to uncover, it's hard to know how things will work in this game.

Lord TSC

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122620496#Comment_122620496

you think StrawbsM dying and the lover thing happening was coincidental?

Electric Nitwit

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122620487#Comment_122620487

That's not how I read the lover/curse thing. I don't understand how the curse was lifted so soon after her death, but I think both (assuming 2) lovers are alive, I don't think Strawbs was the cursed one.

MacDanger

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122620496#Comment_122620496

I also don't think the lovers things has anything to do with Strawbs elimination

I'm inclined to agree - there were 6 mins between Strawbs being killed and Necro's post about the lovers; if she was one of the lovers, he'd had had them out pretty quickly together I think

JP Liz V1

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122620337#Comment_122620337

But Strawbs is alive, she is vulnerable now as in knocked prone phase still so could be eliminated

Electric Nitwit

Perhaps the wolves could only turn the cursed one with their first kill, and Strawbs counted as the first because a wolf applied the final finisher?

Kolido

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122620510#Comment_122620510

I can't think of a way they could be related, if the lover found their trues role and the curse was lifted, then that if good for the village?

If we are to assume wolves killed Strawbs, how are they related? I'm failing to see how 3 random players hit Strawbs.

Can you explain to me how they could be related?
