    I voted at some stage after 7pm, can't remember exactly when, maybe around 7.30



  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,566 ✭✭✭Vernon WW


    Yep, we know they were second last to vote for Wendy. Lucy third last at 9.06 on thread. So they voted after, would have been messaged by me and ignored. Not damning necessarily but not great. Definitely something to consider.



  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,936 ✭✭✭Holly WW


    No i don't think there will be a global financial crisis, US and China have eased off on the tariffs for the moment.

    Although Trump will claim that any money was just resting in his account anyway.



  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,566 ✭✭✭Vernon WW


    Lucy was third last voter on Wendy. Declared at 9.06 on thread. Wendy declared at 9.19 on thread. Gertrude must have posted within that interval.

    I'd have the window right up until it closed as Wendy could easily have self preserved as she didn't know what Gertrude was going to do or if they'd even have voted.



  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,118 ✭✭✭Frank WW


    Gertrude is looking Wolfy from that pres vote. Wendy added to my wolf list because probably told Gertrude to get on and vote to save her and she didn't have a chance to vote.

    New list for me.

    Ewan, Wendy, Gertrude

    Backing off of Steve for now



  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,118 ✭✭✭Frank WW


    Gertrude didn't have a chance to message* rushed vote to pres the wolf Wendy

    Nigel was my villigiest villager . Before that Orla but at least the wolves got them not their own Village

    Frank / Wendy are w/v

    BBoth Have been targeted one of them be a bluff but not both

    Third or fourth on both wagons will be wolfy if Wendy flips red

    If she flips green then it's Frank Gertrude and oisin / lucy



  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,566 ✭✭✭Vernon WW


    Page 23 you stated you would vote for Nigel at 9.19. Why the big delay between stating that and voting?



  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,411 ✭✭✭Wendy WW




  • Forum Games Player Posts: 736 ✭✭✭Regan WW


    I'm for bed soon so moved to mobile. Will be reading back on this evenings interactions and making notes. A few things didn't sit right this evening.

    Still suspicious on Ewan. Tend to agree with @Winifred WW on Frank/Wendy, leaning more towards Wendy wolf right now.

    Gertrude as the low lying wolf.



  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,752 ✭✭✭Jake WW


    This was the type of post I expected from you.

    Explain Frank to me like I'm an idiot (not a huge stretch of the imagination).



  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,566 ✭✭✭Vernon WW


    If I were to pick a wolf bluffer between Wendy and Frank it would be Frank. Wendy declaring the highly likely to be resolved at some point, whereas Frank as wolf sidesteps scrutiny from voting and gets suspicion thrown on three other players. Now it is also very possible that Frank and Wendy are both village and picked in order to sow discord.Frank declaring a suspicious list of three may have been something legit seized on by the wolves.



  • Forum Games Player Posts: 736 ✭✭✭Regan WW


    Interesting as I think that as a team wolves would be more likely to bluff giving a gun to a "villager" than they would be to bluff by blocking their own vote.



  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,566 ✭✭✭Vernon WW


    Possibly, but I think risk reward, there is a greater risk of identifying a wolf who makes a stand out claim regarding a gun than on a wolf who has a blocked vote. Plus the blocked vote immediately put three players to the fore in suspicions.



  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,752 ✭✭✭Jake WW


    Where I am now:

    Lucy - the confused act doesn't strike me as genuine. - from an earlier post:

    I was wrong about Nigel, still not convinced about Steve but that's where I'm at now.



  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,566 ✭✭✭Vernon WW


    Having said that I'm not convinced that either Wendy or Frank are a wolf, just that I would lean less that way from a wolf strategy standpoint wrt Wendy than Frank.

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


    If Wendy is a wolf, why even admit to having the gun? If the wolves passed a gun to the wolves, why not just fire it and keep your head down?


    my gut instinct is that the “convincer” wolf has to give his powered item to the villager and convince them to use it, winning a bonus prize (in this case, killing Orla) by convincing the villager to pull the trigger. By coming forward with it, and showing its bad, they’ve basically nuked their chance to have anyone play it tomorrow. If Wendy was bad, she could have fired it, got Orla killed, AND kept tomorrows booby prize in play.


    Just feels convulsed to me that she’d be a wolf.



  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,566 ✭✭✭Vernon WW


    That tracks, I like this theory. It fits with the OP. Also I don't see the wolves being allowed to give one another a gun, and we know it wasn't a false declaration, pretending to be given a gun but allowing wolf vig to shoot due to Necro's announcement. I'm not certain whether the wolves would be allowed block their own votes either, do we think this is allowed.



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


    I think blocked votes might be allowed, cause there’s a stronger disadvantage to that, compared to handing a gun to a fellow wolf.

    On the other hand, I genuinely can’t think of a game I ever played where wolves used that sort of power on themselves that quickly, if ever. People seem to love putting forward the idea of wolves trying to double bluff, but I don’t think it happens often, especially this early in the game, and when they didn’t know if they’d need a vote latter that day.



  • Forum Games Player Posts: 1,540 ✭✭✭Oisin WW


    right, good night folks



  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,566 ✭✭✭Vernon WW


    Yep that's fair. I wouldn't rule Frank in or out based on the blocked vote, and he wouldn't be amongst my top suspicious players at all.



  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,752 ✭✭✭Jake WW


    If Orla was right about Pat Mustard being joat they'll have a different ability each day. I doubt they'd have anything to pass to a villager again, no one would use it.

    🗞️ Morning Edition – Day 2 – Werewolf Watch Special

    TRAGIC MAULING IN PAROCHIAL HOUSE — VILLAGER FOUND HALF-CHEWED NEAR STASH OF TONICS

    Untitled Image

    Craggy Island awoke this morning to scenes of unspeakable horror, as yet another innocent resident met a grizzly (or possibly lupine) fate in the early hours.

    The victim - @Steve WW aka Father Jack Hackett the local village shaman - described by witnesses as “quiet, devout, and not the type to be mauled without protest,” was found sprawled across the linoleum with what Father Dougal McGuire described as “all the wrong bits on the outside.”

    Suspicion immediately turned to foul play of the full moon variety. Reports suggest the three main suspects continue to roam freely, fur and fang unchecked:

    • Pat Mustard, local milkman and part-time lothario with a suspiciously luxurious mane.

    • Father Dick Byrne, resident of Rugged Island and known for his envy of Ted’s superior parochial house facilities.

    • Father Fintan Stack, unholy terror of priests’ quarters and the only man to play jungle music louder than the sound of human screaming.

    Residents are advised to lock their doors, avoid silver-free zones, and refrain from delivering milk alone.

    Tonight's raffle prize can be exclusively revealed as a My Lovely Horse Grooming Set. The winner will be notified post lynch.

    "HAIRY HANDS? STRAIGHT TO ST. CLABBERT'S!" – STACK STRIKES AGAIN

    Untitled Image

    In a stunning display of psychiatric overreach, Father Fintan Stack has reportedly committed a fellow resident to St. Clabbert’s Hospital for the Criminally Hairy, citing “unreasonably hairy hands” as grounds for immediate sectioning.

    “I don’t like the look of them,” Stack was overheard saying. “Hands like that? Clearly lycanthropy, or jazz guitar. Either way—GET IN THE VAN.”

    @Winifred WW has been declared ineligible for this evening’s lynching vote, throwing the village’s already precarious democracy into chaos.

    Experts have confirmed that “hairy hand syndrome” is not conclusive evidence of being a werewolf, but Stack is reportedly unmoved. “I have my own methods,” he said, before kicking over a decorative plant and blaring techno music from a boombox he brought into confession.

    Meanwhile, civil rights advocates on Craggy Island have raised concerns about Stack’s unilateral powers of committal. Said one anonymous source:
    "We’re all a bit hairy this time of year. That doesn’t mean we should be strapped to a gurney and force-fed holy water custard."

    LOCAL PRIEST KICKS VILLAGER INTO BISHOPHOOD

    Divine Arse-Kicking Awakens Hidden Power

    Untitled Image


    In a shocking turn of events during last night’s parish council meeting-slash-midnight werewolf hunt, Father Ted Crilly – well-known local cleric and part-time psychic visionary – administered a righteous boot up the backside to a fellow islander. The action, widely believed to be part of his “seer’s ritual,” has had unexpected holy consequences.

    Witnesses confirm that after the ecclesiastical assault, the kicked villager began to speak in a commanding tone, demanding respect and threatening eternal damnation. It was soon confirmed: the villager had transformed into none other than Bishop Brennan, or at least a Craggy Island manifestation thereof.

    “He just gave him a boot, and the next minute yer man was quoting canon law and ordering everyone to genuflect,” said Mrs. Doyle, who brewed six kettles of tea in excitement. “It was like the Holy Spirit, but with more shouting.”

    Father Ted, who has claimed the title of Seer of Craggy Island (“I get visions. And occasionally a sore foot.”), maintains that his boot is guided by divine insight. “I didn’t mean to awaken Brennan, but perhaps it’s the Lord’s way of revealing who among us is more than they appear,” he said, polishing his shoe with a suspicious amount of pride.

    While Bishop Brennan’s allegiance remains unchanged, experts believe he has gained a hidden power. Rumours suggest he may now silently smite other villagers – or perhaps even the werewolves – as long as no one dares mention the unfortunate incident involving Father Ted’s shoe and his rear end.

    Residents are advised to proceed with caution, avoid full moons, and under no circumstances should anyone mention Rome.

    As for Father Crilly himself, Brennan has vowed to send him to somewhere much worse than Craggy Island after the Werewolf Crisis has abated.

    More on this story as it develops.



    CHAOS AT CRAGGY FAIR AS FATHER DOUGAL DECLARES HIMSELF “POPE FOR THE DAY”

    Untitled Image

    By Siobhán McGillycuddy, Senior Ecclesiastical Correspondent

    Craggy Island — What began as a peaceful, flavoured, parish fundraiser quickly descended into farcical chaos yesterday after Father Dougal McGuire, in a surprise turn of theological ambition, declared himself "Pope for the Day" while wearing a novelty mitre made from crisp packets and duct tape.

    The event, intended to raise funds for the refurbishment of the parochial house’s indoor plumbing (“It hasn't worked since 1993,” confirmed a damp Father Ted Crilly), spiraled out of control when Dougal climbed atop the tombola table, raised a toilet brush aloft, and solemnly announced: “I have spoken to the big man upstairs, and he said it was grand.”

    Witnesses claim he then attempted to canonise a potato and absolve a goat of “general mischief.”

    Father Crilly, speaking through gritted teeth and a forced smile, tried to downplay the incident. “He’s not the actual Pope. He barely remembers how to say Mass. We once caught him blessing a DVD player,” he said, holding back tears and mild rage. “It’s all just a misunderstanding. A very public misunderstanding.”

    Local troublemaker and professional alcoholic Father Jack Hackett, before his untimely demise (may the Lord rest his soul) reportedly responded to Dougal’s papal decree with a single word: “ARSE!” before launching a fruit trifle at a nearby nun.

    Events further escalated when Mrs. Doyle, armed with a tray of increasingly aggressive cups of tea, began chasing people shouting, “Go on, go on, go on—he’s a lovely Pope!”

    Local Gardaí were called but reportedly just watched from a safe distance while sipping tea and taking bets.

    As of press time, Dougal was still referring to himself as “Pope Dougal the First and Probably Only” and had attempted to excommunicate Father Ted for “being too bossy.”

    The parish plumbing remains unfixed.

    Tonight’s Weather Forecast:
    Foggy, tense, and slightly bloodstained. Full moon rising. Avoid suspicious milkmen.

    Editor’s Note:
    Anyone caught howling past curfew will be blamed and possibly burned. Stay indoors. Trust no one. Especially not Pat Mustard.

    Special Edition – Mayhem on the Moors

    EXPLOSIVE REVELATION: MILK FLOAT RIGGED BY DISGRACED MILKMAN PAT MUSTARD

    By Our Investigative Correspondent, Father Chewy Louie

    Untitled Image

    Craggy Island, 13 May — The sleepy serenity of Craggy Island was shattered this morning as a terrifying plot was uncovered: a milk float, innocently delivering its daily dairy, has been rigged with a time-triggered explosive device by none other than former milkman and beard enthusiast, Pat Mustard.

    Known for his luxurious moustache and deeply suspicious supply of “emergency lingerie,” Mustard was last seen cackling maniacally and driving off into the mist shouting, “You’ll never beat me, you celibate fools!”

    The sinister twist? According to a note left in a half-empty bottle of Bailey’s, the bomb is designed to detonate if the float’s driver, @Regan WW fails to post at least once an hour in the official game thread between 10am and 8pm. Local authorities confirmed the note was signed “The Hairy Avenger.”

    Gardaí have described the situation as “serious but comically Irish,” urging Regan — to “keep calm and type furiously.”

    Father Ted Crilly, who has been attempting to defuse the tension with logic and tea, had this to say:

    “It’s a disgrace. A bomb. On a milk float. It’s the sort of thing you’d expect in Limerick.”

    Father Dougal added:

    “Ted, does this mean if they stop posting, they explode? Like BOOM? Like in that film with the bus and Keanu Reeves—Speed? Except with more cows?”

    Meanwhile, Mrs. Doyle has offered the player “a nice cup of tea every hour, to keep their posting spirits up,” although her suggestion to “just unplug the bomb and plug in a kettle instead” was met with blank stares.

    Citizens are advised to monitor the thread closely, encourage regular posting, and report any suspicious moustaches immediately.

    As tensions rise and the hours tick by, one thing is certain: this is the most dangerous dairy delivery in Craggy Island history.

    Stay tuned for updates. Or, as Father Jack put it:

    “POST! POST! AAAAAAGH! DRINK!”

    “Dougal Strikes Again: Vigilante Priest Claims Life in Werewolf Hunt”

    By Siobhán Ní Mháirtín, Staff Reporter

    CRAGGY ISLAND – Panic erupted in the Craggy Island Parish Hall this morning after Father Dougal McGuire, self-appointed “Werewolf Vigilante,” fatally shot a fellow islander during a chaotic town meeting. The victim, whose identity is being withheld pending family notification (though everyone knows it was @Vernon WW), was confirmed not to be a werewolf, but an NRV.

    Witnesses say tensions were high during the second night of the island’s annual Werewolf Game, a long-standing tradition aimed at promoting community engagement and “light spiritual paranoia.” However, what was intended as a bit of harmless fun turned deadly when Father Dougal, armed with a legally questionable starter pistol and a laminated “License to Vigilante,” stood up and declared, “I’ve got a feeling in my bones, Ted — it’s them!”

    Despite protests from other islanders, including Father Ted Crilly and a very confused (and now deceased) Father Jack Hackett (who briefly accused the tea trolley of being “the spawn of Satan”), Dougal insisted he was acting on divine instinct and “a dream about wolves eating custard creams.”

    The shot rang out at approximately 10.01 AM, followed by stunned silence and a faint echo of “Feck!” from the confessional booth.

    “It’s an absolute tragedy,” Father Ted told the Chronicle, rubbing his temples in despair. “We were just starting to figure out that Sergeant Mulligan was definitely looking a bit hairy. Now that poor person is dead and the werewolves are still out there — probably enjoying a nice cup of tea.”

    When asked if he regretted his decision, Father Dougal responded: “No, but I do wish I’d picked someone who wasn't so good at making sandwiches.”

    Local authorities have issued a statement urging residents not to take matters into their own hands.

    A funeral service for the victim will be held on Thursday. Attendees are asked to refrain from silver jewellery, just in case. The hunt for the three actual werewolves continues tonight at 10pm with a lynch.
