    Seer should only come out if they peek someone evil imo. If Spike can appear as good I wouldn't reveal myself just to confirm someone is good anyway

    Any info is good info after a couple of days imo. Not suggesting it now, the seer themselves will know when is best to reveal. Hopefully they catch a baddie early doors. But if not, and I say this as an example, they should come out day 3 or so as baddies will be role hunting. 2 kills a night mean there'll definitely be one death, regardless of BG protection. Unless there are hidden protections of course.

    I don't get the theory of lynching good people who return as low posters, at least not till well deep into the end game. That seems like a waste of a lynch on the off chance the 1 person in 22 who is bad but appears as good was lucky enough to get peaked. If someone peeks as good for now, I'd say its safer to assume they were one of the other, what, 17 or so people who are actually good, and not the one who was bad but popped as good.

    Can't help but feel that pushing that tactic (peek the low posters and then lynch them even if they show as good) but benefit wolves far, far more than it would the village....

    Steve I'm a little lost but using tools outside the remit of the game is probably a no no tbh

    md5 is just maths, you could do it on pen & paper but more likely to get it wrong. md5 is one of the most common non reversible hashes in the world. Use whatever means you wish to get you md5 hash. I just google and that was the top of google.

    Honestly I didn't even know what Steve was talking about at first. I doubt the mods would want us using any other sites in the playing of this unless its Google images to find some great gifs.

    That’s not what I meant. If everyone apart from the seer is questioning louder posters, how would it look for just one person to start questioning a low poster out of nowhere? Baddies will have the seer handed to them on a plate.

    By all means peek the lows but as a village we have to question everyone

    No no no. Seer should continue the critical questioning of the mid to high posters during the day. I would have thought that was obvious. They will know when to steer us if they have a baddie and we look like being way off course.

    I like the idea of the seer peeking the low posters, But if we go down that route, wolfs will just start posting and potentially avoid getting peeked. Seer peeks need to be random imo.

    I think in games where people can or will hide in low posts the seer should work on them and we the village try to work on what little evidence we have, stops low posters skating by Scot free and stops the village worrying about low posters who we can't get a read off, best strategy in my mind early doors

    I like Gabriels idea even though we arent exactly mates so far.

    Yep. It's actually quite brilliant. Post and let us get a read on you or be peeked. Simples. A strategy that should be employed in each game to encourage participation. Problem is the lazy villagers will just ignore that and muddy the waters, but you can't have it every which way I guess

    Its certainly got you posting, you had 1 post when he mentioned the idea and you've been like a steam train ever since. Good stuff, youve probably moved out of the low poster category now with those posts.

    Also with the coding thats being talked about, sorry but im clueless with that. Ill do an FFA the old fashioned way or just put one name forward or whatever the village agrees

    So by pretending to be a new player really badly they confirm themselves as a villager as a wolf would never do it, i mean if the person used that logic to formulate a plan its not a massive leap to do it As a double bluff. I dont think it's the case but if you have it in you to do scenario A it's not beyond the realms of possibility to do b.


    Ah was this short enough for you Liam O

    Basically, its left me keeping an eye out for Tegan because of the suspected double bluff as you've mentioned.

    Yes Gabby that was frank

    Good. Let them post and let us get a read on them.

    I have no idea what Steve’s talking about. And I ain’t playing dumb this time.

    and yeah I can't see any logic in lynching someone who is seen as being good although I am sure by the point that that even becomes an issue we will be doing well if both us and our seer is still going as at this early stage I doubt the Seer is going to starting questioning anyone on thread if they show as good and if they show as bad then maybe the seer will have to reveal themselves either way the either of lynching those showing as good is a long way off even if I don't like the sound of it at any time.

    Its about as against the rules as any other tool like an FFA.

    No rule against it, we should do it.

    Ah ok, no one is saying not to question them though just they can slip under the radar vefy easily and at least by having the discussions we are anyone can call out the low posters to post more, plus the seer only needs to last a few days before he has info the part. The worst result is a seer on day x with no info as players are all lynched or munched. Alive info is much better then dead.

    True, already explained my absence to best of my ability. RL issues, sure some will understand. Here now though and will continue to contribute. Or would you prefer I stayed silent, cluelessly wandered my way to end game and then started posting like I had a clue what had happened the previous few days?

    Nope im happy your engaging but it should also be pointed out that you've been way more active since this idea was mooted. It could be innocent, it could be a wolf trying to get post count up. Either way, you've a real life reason and some people will believe it, some wont, im merely pointing it out.

    Ugh, do I have to spell it out.

    Those peeked good and who are lower posters, even IF they are villagers are absolutely USELESS to us, bar reducing the pool to pick wolves from. Day 3 and not contributing? Get outta my village. Goodies, especially non roled ones need to realise that they're here for a single purpose (other than fun of course). Protect the roled players. A dead NRV is much better than a mis lynch on a roled goodie

    Unless there's a concrete lead of a baddie on day X when seer would come out then I'd sooner lynch someone who isn't contributing than take a punt on someone who has been.

    Not going on and on about lower posters though. I've had my say

    Fair enough. I had more than one post though, just so the facts are established. Simply went to bed is all. Back now as I said.

    Mod Note

    Mods would prefer it if all game-play was based on play in this thread, the back rooms and lynch forum. Please do not use other websites in this game, other than for photos, videos and gifs for Christmas merriment.


  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,592 ✭✭✭Isla WW


    Nope you didn't have to spell it out for me, I got you but I'd still be of the opinion that a live Villager is better than a dead one. That said at the later stage in the game if our ghost of Christmas past hasn't told us we have gotten Spike already then I won't be judging as much on what the Seer says.

    Well a live, non posting villager is about as useless as a turd imo. But I'm not dwelling on it for now.

    Riiiiiiiioooooooonnnnnnnaaaaa... come out and play. Conor has questions about your 'soul read'

    You're jumping the gun a little bit, I do agree with your sentiment though.


  • Forum Games Player Posts: 2,568 ✭✭✭Ewan WW


    So poor Wendy died without telling us the punchline of the last joke, rather enjoyed her jokes there.
    A few folk standing out towards the village but not too many on the other side. Hopefully more of a clue in a while and get an FFA done.

    It's not NOW I'm talking about. It's further down the line, like others have said.

    There obviously should be no seer reveal unless they think they are in danger at least in the next day or two.

    Also who the fcuk is that Pter lad? Definite wolf if ever I saw one :pac:

    Possibly she was the entertainer but I hope not otherwise it's advantage to the opposition big time this early on.


  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,638 ✭✭✭Jake WW


    In the absence of the hash plan, are we all gonna get an FFA in before....what time? 4.30?

    I can compile if wanted if we can agree that time.


  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,236 ✭✭✭Steve WW


    My idea was so anti wolf, i'm collating the thanks to #350


  • Forum Games Player Posts: 5,361 ✭✭✭Conor WW


    I thought we were providing reasons for our choice. And reveal said name following the lynch. See if reasons collate with who we voted for.

    I actually thought would someone do that as I thanked it. Just like the mods clarifying stuff and not leaving too much ambiguity on such things to be honest.

    Pter reads as a short Peter to me and therefore I imagine he looks like Peter Dinklage in my head now.
