WW LXXXVIII: What Lies in the Dark (Game Thread)

[the phantom]

Okay- so here's a nice little list of important facts.

SHELOB & MINIONS

• Shelob attempts to sting each night
• person she stings knows they're stung, but can't tell
• the following night they join her side and can converse with her, but not other minions
• Shelob can't reveal minions to each other
• Shelob stung someone during Night 1
• Stinging Sam does nothing
• Shelob death = game over
• Shelob + minions greater than innocents = game over

SAM

• picks someone to protect from stinging each night
• picks someone to cure from sting after each night
• cannot be stung
• loses power the night after Frodo dies
• if he picks Frodo as cure-pick after Frodo stung, Shelob loses a night sting and Frodo & Sam can talk

DOCTOR

• examines someone each night, can tell if they've been stung, but not role

FRODO

• dies night after he is stung
• can converse with Sam if Sam picks him as his bite-cure target
• if picked by Sam for bite-cure, Shelob does nothing the next night and Sam does nothing the night after that
• Frodo lynch makes Sam do nothing the next night

RULES IN GENERAL

• You can NOT retract votes.
• Double-plus & highlight all votes
• If vote is a tie, NO ONE is lynched
• If stung, your vote has a 50% chance of not counting the next day
• No reveals or fake reveals
