millershollow - Day 11

Link:154007 Sat Jan 23 00:18:21 2010

The sky was overcast, as if nature itself knew the end was near. The Mayor looked out from a balcony at the remaining four villagers gathered. He smiled briefly as he thought about the 21 dead villagers. [info]Jeeves arrived on the balcony with a glass of red wine. "Thank you [info]Jeeves." "Yes sir," the butler replied.

Down below the last of the villagers walked up. Where once had been a large crowd, now only four frigtened townsfolk remained. They looked around and realized that [info]devil_engine was missing from their numbers.

SUMMARY: [info]devil_engine the VILLAGER is DEAD!

I knew it. You bastards!

So, which of you is a wolf, and which is the sorcerer?
Let's not drag this out for 24 hours.

vote [info]hungryandhollow, because I hate traitors!

I'm now certain I won't live past day one in the next game.

I am the remaining WEREWOLF.

vote [info]lorriet

If my LOVER [info]cambler votes with me, we guarantee at least a tie, and we have a lover's victory tonight.

Well, I had it backwards as to which of you was the wolf. I hate you all! But most of all, H&H. Hate with the passions of a thousand stars...or something.

Joe, can we end this day now? :P

[info]Gorillashaman, [info]Cambler, excellent job. I knew you guys could do it. At long, long last, a Lover Victory.

[info]Lorriet and all the other villagers, my apologies, but it had to be done.

Now THAT I didn't see. I was thinking you were a villager, and [info]Lorriet was the Sorcerer.

If I were a vanilla villager, I wouldn't have tried as hard to steer people towards voting for who I thought were CLEAR villagers. I'd just be protecting my own ass.

I thought for SURE that that had been noticed, not last turn, but the turn before.

I assumed you, like me, had figured out that [info]Gorillashaman was a wolf, and were going for the Lover Victory.

Now that the game is over...

I strongly DISLIKE the ability to vote-unvote to "prove" unloverness.

I think that rule sucks.

You shouldn't be allowed to have a vote for your lover be your final vote, but you SHOULD be able to bluff a vote. Perhaps a rule that states that if you vote for your lover and let it stand, you kill yourself from grief for having done such a thing for real.

But the ability to vote-unvote for EVERYONE to prove you're not a lover is really dumb.

Even in a game, I hate being lied to.

Yeah, I know it's part of it, but still.

Why couldn't you just eat me last night, [info]Gorillashaman? You wanted to rub my nose in it, didn't you? Mean, mean, awful wolf.

p.s. [info]Cambler, I'd be careful if I were you...I've been reading some Anita Blake novels, and sex with the Furry folks isn't all fun and games...

Which bolsters my point.

Everyone does a vote-unvote on turn one, and the lovers are immediately outed.

=)

I knew [info]hungryandhollow was the cupid two days before he came out; he slipped up some text and used "[info]cambler" when he meant "[info]gorillashaman". Only the cupid would have made that slip.

[info]Cambler practically screamed that he was the SORCERER somewhere around day 3 or 4.

That's the machiavellian bit I mentioned earlier. Some people will be upset at being lied to, even if it is just a game, or even if it is in their best interests.

It was a last ditch desperate effort for Daedalus and I. It didn't impact the outcome, and I don't see the value of it in anything but an endgame such as this.

I think the rule is fine as it stands, because it allows people...and wolves...the opportunity to use voting patterns to figure things out.

Before Daedalus had come out with his theory, I'd already guessed that you and [info]gorillashaman were lovers based on voting patterns and a couple of comments here and there...I just had it backward who was the wolf. Had we figured that out one day earlier, this would have gone differently.

Woulda/coulda/shoulda.

Damn.

I don't think that needs to be changed.

Might want to repost that vote; vote counter doesn't match on "voting".

Not that it really matters.

Usually the lovers are two villagers and not two baddies - thus there is a greater call to protect them at the beginning.

That was intentional - I was hoping you guys would catch on, but it seemed an innocuous enough slip that no one else would give it a second glance.

Hehe, I know...it's just so....annoying! Especially given the accusations that I was too easily swayed (led around by the nose?). I'm just sharing my pre-lynch visceral reactions.

I really hate losing. Ask anyone who's played a game with me.

It's all in good fun...until someone throws the game pieces across the room. ;)

I feel like the ugly girl at the prom that everyone is laughing at.

I suspected [info]cambler early on, but couldn't put my finger on why or think of a convincing argument to lynch him. Then, we had the run of obvious wolves to lynch.

Anyway, well played. I'm actually glad it ended like this, rather than daedalus being the wolf...remember, I said I value winning only *slightly* more than being right.

I think that clusterfuck with [info]devil_engine really helped you, too. It made so little sense that no one knew what to do with it...nice red herring.
