Silence of the Wolves - A Game of Werewolf GAME THREAD

Thanks for giving me a break yesterday. I continued to read along for most of the day, it was a good distraction, but I wasn’t up for actually ‘playing’. I think I’ve got a handle of where we’re at so below is my read list. If I’ve come to a conclusion because I’ve missed something while reading, then feel free to point it out and I’ll reconsider. Some of these are by memory. Some I’ve ISO’d this morning as I didn’t have a handle on them from memory (the ones that reference post numbers were ISO’d). Prepared in advance (started 7.30am-ish), ready to post after munch announcement, so I guess one of these will be immaterial.

Barney – villageryish, but did cast an outlier lynch vote (on Fixxxer). OCD on people tagging their FFAs right (I like this!)

Bounty Hunter – villageryish, if not then a brave wolf putting himself out there with his giffing nonsense. Outlier in the lynch.

Clarabel – villagery, was an outlier in the lynch.

crosstown – 2 posts of zilch, got a vote in though (on Kolido), so fairly sus that he voted without playing. Could be a wolf. Kolido was a somewhat risky vote if both were wolves, but not highest risk level.

Digi – 1 post of zilch, also got a vote in (on Fixxxer), so as with Cross I’d be a bit sus there, and Barney was also a safe vote to place on a fellow wolf if Barney turns out to be wolf (though as above, I am leaning villager on Barney).

Dandy – if he turns out to be a wolf, then it’s definitely not a good look for the Kitten voters, Trit and Ecto especially. Keith could have voted Kitten for self preservation. I’m undecided on Dandy though. Reading yesterday, I was persuaded by the arguments of those against him, but then was also persuaded when he defended himself, so I’ve a big massive “I dunno” on him. I’m also unsure if his narrative pieces have hidden meaning or just for fun. I guess if he flips wolf it might be worth reading over them again to see what he’s said about others. Was one of those to vote for an outlier in the lynch.

Duffman – pretty neutral. Voted Dandy, so if Dandy’s a wolf, Duffman is unlikely to be.

Ecto – voted off Villager, Kitten. Won’t hold it against her, chances are this lynch would end up with a villager death anyway. Aside from that, I’d say villageryish.

Fixxxer – Thinks Keith is a wolf (#690) but is an outlier in the lynch (on GnR). Did say (#677) that he may switch, but never did, that was early yesterday, plenty of time to have switched if he’d wanted to. Thinks Trit is a wolf (#465), but didn’t include him in his FFA (#543) (didn’t include any third). A lot of fluff.

GnR – mild to strong villager lean. I’m surprised at the accusations against him. I thought he was fairly transparent since game began, and his plan to bandwagon doesn’t sound like something a wolf would do. His plan to catch wolves by seeing who’d join him in his bandwagon sort of worked though, except not in the way it intended. I’d bet that those who started a bandwagon on him for suggesting it, include a wolf in there. Though in the end only Fixxxer voted for him. It’d be interesting to see who was calling for his blood earlier on.

Kitten – Dead Villager. I can see why people voted for her. But, as said above, if Dandy does flip bad, then I’d be more wary of those who did vote for her.

Kolido – outlier vote on a non-poster (Lough) is a bit suspicious, also done early morning (#593). Really thought nobody else worth voting for between then and 9pm?? Serious pocketer, of Strawbs (#793) and Ecto (#801). With the former he even states it’s NOT pocketing! But also casts shade on Strawbs earlier (#743) which Keith called him out on (#746). Wouldn’t hang him for not responding to Whippy’s accusation so much, but the rest has me looking at a fairly wolf lean.

Lough – 2 posts of zilch. Did not vote.

Pter – villagery, isn’t striking me as the play of a wolf

quickbeam – lock clear villager

sKeith – very antagonistic, like pulling teeth getting answers from him (other people’s questions, I don’t believe I’ve posted any to him myself, yet). A fairly brave style of play if he was a wolf, so had a pretty strong village lean on him initially. It is swinging back a little now that he voted to lynch a villager (I thought he’d have the wolves sussed out a bit better). Also the longer he survives the more worried I am about him. I’ll put him in the villageryish pile for the moment.

Strawberry – all over the shop, was going to vote Kitten, then voted Kolido (her, and MIA Cross). If Dandy is a wolf, this would almost make her lock clear her as a villager in my eyes. If he’s a villager then it doesn’t mean much. If Kolido is a wolf it might not actually look good for her, as he was presumably a ‘safe’ vote (Cross hadn’t declared where he was voting). Good at the spreadsheets. If past accusations against me for the same thing are anything to go by, this then means ‘helpful wolf’, or ‘organised villager’. When I was a wolf, I found it useful as it was a way to contribute without actually putting the work in. When I was a villager it usually got me killed. It’ll be interesting to see how long the wolves leave her alone if she is a villager. Her offer to die instead of a newb was noble. Overall, I’m thinking villagery.

Succubus – 4 posts, seem to be trying, newb, finding her feet? If a wolf, I’d say her teammates would be helping her along more and definitely would have instructed her to vote in the lynch. As it is she seems to be a little lost at sea, so probably a villager. She should post more. I liked her FFA. I’m not saying I agree with her choices, but it showed she was forming opinions. Just need more of that!

Skunk – honestly, my vote for her was nearly a throw of a dart, but I’m really not liking her constant forgetfulness of how many players they are. A wolf would have in mind that there are 20 Villagers against them and that number would easily get stuck in their head and have her make mistakes like that. It’s not enough to hang her, but I’d definitely have a wolf lean on her now.

Triceratops – neutral, decent post count, but nothing memorable. When I ISO, it’s a lot of fluff with one detailed read-list (#671), but only on a handful of posters. A wolf that gave up? Or a villager who just ran out of time? I’d hope to see her completed list today before making up my mind on her. Based on read-list, hard to understand why she voted where she did (Duffman) an outlier.

Tritium – same as Ecto. Villagery

Tusk – villagery, voted with me on Skunk

Whiplashy – Dead Villager

An odd game for me. Maybe it’s my state of mind, or maybe it’s not, but usually I start every game suspecting everyone. Here I find most players villagery and even those where I’ve some suspicions they’re kinda weak. Maybe it’s be expected when the wolves have such a large crowd to hide in though?

Will be around most of today. I do have to run a few errands though so will be afk for a bit.

tritium was on the case and believed he had cornered one of the psychotic killers.

Presume this is just flavour, and not a hint from the mods that Trit was on the right track?? Probably not considering his track was voting for Kitten?

This stood out. Are you sure its correct?

Digi voted Barney not Fixxxer. Had the latter in brackets but mentioned the former later.
