Oi. You're right, and it looks like I need to comb through the OP again myself.
Unvote Nacho.
Need to unvote specifically, not just a general unvote, before revoting.
bler144: But now, why "3 wolves, perhaps more"? There are 17 players. There's close to zero chance you think there are 3 wolves and 14 town, right? So...
What do you think is actually happening here? Setup/posts that stand out/which character makes the best pancakes? Anything, really. -I haven't entirely discounted that there is no evil faction among us. If someone were to do it, Drealmer is probably the one. No Lynch on D1 might let everyone win, but I suspect not.
-Story telling is going to matter, at least to some extent. I'm not going to go looking for a the quote, but Drealmer has commented about the game unfolding like a story. That could mean PvE. The details about the wolves being unusual, nasty, not in this area, etc. indicate PvP.
-I'm going to guess that "3 wolves, maybe more" is just a stock phrase from when he was writing, before he knew how many players would be present. Iirc, the minimum was about 12-14 players, and 3 scum would fit that. We probably have "more" (4 scum, with perhaps a hostile neutral).
-There could be 3 wolves and a handful of hostiles or even a second 3-man faction.
-The new recruits wouldn't have the (dis-?)advantage of having heard a bunch of the hype leading up to this game. Don't forget all the soon-to-be-mod commentary about how all the roles might do different things, depending on the number of players (and possibly even which players are) present.
-Nacho might make the best pancakes.
Brasas: Almost forgot, the comment about no more than 4 or else is odd to me. What the heck do you know that I don't? That 5-6 wolves on the same team mean town is probably screwed before the game starts.
With 5 wolves, town has to kill 5 wolves before 7 townies die. With 6 wolves, town has to kill 6 wolves (with little/no help from wolves) before 5 townies die.
Both of these scenarios assume everyone is either in a single town faction or a single scum faction, and the standard "When mafia numbers = town numbers, mafia wins" rule is in effect.
Event (noun): a thing that happens, especially one of importance.
Mine was not of importance, except that it happened at all.
Lifthrasil: "Some of you seem to suggest, that the culprit or culprits of these crimes be among us. Be it werewolves or some wolf-trainer. Some even have started to suggest someone of our own. I've been struggling with this, since any werewolves among us would have to have been here for awhile, hiding through multiple full moons. Do we have any new comers?
It just occurred to me, though, that a few of us might have been victimized only recently, perhaps while traveling to Nashua for some supplies.
Lifthrasil: Craig was speaking oddly when the Day started. Almost as if he was still suffering from some ailment or mental malady. He sounded like one of those undead in the horror stories uncle bill used to read. But again, that might have been a joke. Or not. I probably shouldn't have pried the arms off that bear carcass I saw the other day. It seemed like a good prank until the pack came visiting, and you know how I hate to waste what seems like a good joke.
Nachomamma8: It's my personal expectation that if you were specially informed of Events being a thing that you would bring it up as soon as possible; your timing seemed off and I don't see how it enriches the game in any way shape or form to inform one player of Events as opposed to the playerlist as a whole. Sorry if I'm being a "wet blanket", I'm kind of known for being one of those :(
Bler, I've read the OP pretty thoroughly (my hope was to learn from the signup thread and not break a rule as soon as I made a post), and I didn't see anything from events. If Bookwyrm did see something in the OP that everyone missed, I'd expect that he would point it out instead of pretend that it was a special knowledge given to him. You are ignoring the very, blatantly obvious solution: I didn't know about them until one happened to me. I did indeed "bring it up as soon as possible". How do you know anything about the timing of of my revelation versus when I acquired the knowledge?
Keep your shade. I don't need it.
