    Then we have an accord ....

    So baddies are:

    Sauraman and witchking - X 2 but they recruit to their cult. Their cult don’t actually join them (alignment mentioned) but will add up at end if cult out numbers other teams. They also poison two people a die, fake and real poison but arowan can heal. Does poisoned person come out on thread or is it just arawan chooses one and its 50/50?
    I think we'll have to wait and see what info we are given.
    If we are told who is poisoned, then nothing else is needed, Arwen can save one if he so wishes.
    If we are not told who was poisoned, then the poisoned players will need to say that they have been poisoned, and Arwen can again choose to save a player of his choosing.
    If Arwen picks a player, that player will definitely live.
    If Arwen chooses neither, one of the 2 players will definitely die.
    Sauraun and urikai - we don’t know how many urakai they have but they get a kill? Sauron appears good on first peak, bad on second


    Balrog is sk but Gandalf will become Gandalf the grey if he tries to kill him?! That would be cool
    I cannot see mention of any Gandalf other than Gandalf the grey.
    It says Balrog will have met his match if he tries to attack Gandalf.
    The OP says we start with Gandalf the grey, where are you getting this 'becomes' Gandalf the grey from?
    Goodies are fairly self explanatory with Frodo teasing evedybody with his ring for about 12 hours of extended , 16 ending marathon movies. :D

    Rule 3 states that the information will be given about poisonings

    Both players targeted for poisoning will be announced on thread at 10am.

    Assume he means turns from Gandalf the Grey to Gandalf the White - its what happens in the books after Gandalf fights the Balrog. Would be nice for Gandalf to get improved powers alright.

    Could mean we'd lose Gandalf for a number of days though if they follow that plot point.

    Will it? If anything, it gives the village a chance to block a kill each day with a 50/50 choice, right?

    If the names are announced, and the healer gets to pick one to save, then it's basically a super efficient bodyguard. Why would it be a pain in the hole?

    A bigger pain in the hole is starting on a bloody lynch. It basically means one person is going to be done in at random....

    Because we might have two rolled villagers outing themselves to plead for the cure

    You have 13 and a half hours to sort players and find who has a better than random chance at being evil. If everybody does this then we have a better than random chance of lynching evil.

    If you just play aimlessly for that time and don't do any investigations, then you have less than random chance of being town roll in my eyes.

    Use this logic to sort the player list, and lynch based on who is most greater than random evil position in your list, then we will not be doing things at random.

    Oooooh, fair point. Hadn't considered that.


  • Forum Games Player Posts: 4,132 ✭✭✭Gabriel WW


    With potentially everyone not getting a vote in before lynch, then FFAs will likely be extra important this game as it'll be all we have for research purposes.

    To mannish folk he was always the grey,
    But "becoming" he did in another way,
    Not in time as men see it I suppose,
    Though "mannish" is to him as to you are clothes

    What do you mean 'potentially not everyone'?

    If we reach majority before everyone gets their vote in then we've no way to know how somebody would actually vote.

    Hi everyone,

    What’s the difference in being part of the cult and being a Nazgul?

    9. Cult Rules: Sauron’s convert at night does not change any powers a player may or may not have, they will continue as the same alignment and will not be informed of the conversion, unless they become a Nazgul.


  • Forum Games Player Posts: 4,132 ✭✭✭Gabriel WW


    *have voted.

    It seems the cult is an alignment only factor and Nazgul is a recruit to team Sauron

    We think that Nazgul is full conversion, whereas cult conversions only counts towards Team Sauron at the end of the game in relation to team parity

    But how is that determined?

  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,927 ✭✭✭Eva WW


    Frodo and Boromir are the only village roles that mention the Nazgul, so we think they're the only ones that can be fully converted


  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,927 ✭✭✭Eva WW


    Happy to hear alternative theories on this by the way, I'm not saying it's true, just that it's the best we have right now

    I have to understand the first half of your sentence before moving on to the second half as you use something I do not understand to qualify the second half.

    In prior games, not getting a lynch in was against the rules, but it not being against the rules should not make not voting the new normal.

    Maybe I've misunderstood the majority vote thing. But my thinking is that say half plus one vote and a majority is reached on lynching. We'll never know how the other half minus one would have voted.

    Because we have majority voting rules after day 1, so the lynch could end at 4pm before someone had a chance to vote

    With majority voting....

    If there's 10 people playing, and 6 vote for one person, the vote will automatically be that person to be lynched. This potentially means the other 4 won't get a vote.

    Its not "Everyone votes and then results are announced." It's "the votes are announced once one person has picked up more than 51% of the possible votes".


  • Forum Games Player Posts: 4,132 ✭✭✭Gabriel WW


    ^^ Yeah, that.

    If frodo's conversion is related to the ring then it is possible that if sam had the ring he could also be converted

    I’m guessing that a convert would get access to the room with the other 2 but a cult member wouldn’t. The only reason a player would be cult and not Nazgul would be if they were roled. Meaning that that bad team would have even more info than just having said player as their alignment at end game.

    A bad team? A good team?
