    I reckon so!! These games do run into the thousands of posts depending on who is playing. If Necro was playing he usually gets that on his own 🤣🤣🤣

    But I’m all seriousness, try following the game or read it over when it’s done, it’s great fun.

    There is also a dead room on Discord where people watching who are to playing or people who have died in the game will be watching the game and posting about it so that would help with understanding it too.

    I read the thread there at lunchtime and hand on heart haven't a breeze as to what's going on... I genuinely am struggling to see the point of the game and how the end goal is achieved. Maybe, as you say it will be clearer at the end, but for now I'm lost.

    It's simple there are villagers, and amongst the villagers are bad guys, wolves.

    The Objective of the villagers is to catch and kill all the wolves. The objective of the wolves is to stay hidden amongst the villagers for as long as possible so they end on parity with the villagers.

    The wolves get to kill one person per day and the villagers get to vote to lynch someone each night.

    Okay, that seems simple enough, do the wolves know who the other wolves are? and can they converse between themselves?

    I'm actually excluding the WW posts from the stats count, it'll flex the results too much. Kinda like COVID did for the previous 2 years.

    We ended up November 233 posts ahead of November last year. We finally beat a month from last year! :P

    Still trailing last year by 4,818 posts. Stupid COVID. We are on the verge of breaking the 9k mark for the year. On course to end up as the 3rd/4th busiest year ever for the forum.

    A look at how the year went, November was our busiest month, in line with previous trends. Aug onwards saw the upward trend and summer had a big drop off.

    Sooooooooo close!

    Some interesting numbers in there (for us stat nerds!). A thousand posts in a summer month (May 2021) is crazy and can't think that we would ever get near that again. The more telling numbers for me are that we beat the BER months (total) from 2021, which is really the business end of the year for us.

    Some random stats for 2022.

    We had 5 days last year if had it not have been for @freshpopcorn we would have had zero posts.

    3 of which were Saturdays and 2 were mid-week in July. The countdown saved our bacon!

    Monday was the busiest day of the week by a large margin, 267 posts ahead of Thursday which was the second busiest day of the week.

    Saturday was the quietest day for posting for us, coming in over a 1,000 posts behind Monday and 500 posts behind Wednesday which was the 5th busiest.

    Sunday was the second quietest day coming in 200 posts ahead of Saturday.

    One the flip side of this we had 9 days each exceeding 100 posts.

    3 came in January due to tournaments, 2 came in February, 3 in November and 1 in December when we had snow.

    Whatever about the weekend days the mid week ones are a surprise.

    I'm pretty sure I checked in every day at some point last year and whilst there was some quiet days I never noticed no posts (other than the countdown)

    I'd actually be frightened to look at my post count in here last year.

    The stats are in for Jan.

    We ended up 467 posts behind 2022. We did beat 2020 Jan total pre-pandemic by 2 posts. So we are defintitely back at pre-pandemic levels.

    4th busiest January, falling behind 2021,2022 and 2018. Not sure what was happening in 2018 that was so busy haha.

    Shame we fell below 2021 & 2022 but with those two following Covid Christmas's I suspect we're returning to normal service here. I suspect 2019 is the year to reference moreso looking back, that being the last full year with no pandemic factor influencing it.

    February ended up 355 posts behind last year, leaving us 822 post behind year to date.

    However this was the 3rd strongest amount for February, trailing behind 2022 & 2021.

    I know I was in the office last Jan & Feb, we haven't been full time remote working since May 2021 so definitely not a lockdown.

    Last of the school closures ended in Feb 2021, with the kids back start of March that year & have been back ever since. Hard to believe that's 2 years ago now.

    Suspect April may be harder, dont know why but I'm getting the feeling that posting has slowed down in the forum in the last week or so. Hopefully I'm worng and its just my own perception because I havent been logging in as much.
