Werewolf XXXI: The Unknown Enemies - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well...my strategy for the first few days is pretty much covered in Roa's post. I thought Nogrod was innocent & his vote placement on day 1 would make him universally trusted, and therefore he'd be a likely wolf kill, so I protected him on night 1. I was quite surprised when Roa pm'd the next day to say she hunted him.

Night 2, I protected Sixth, as Roa suggested.
Day 3, like I said in the game, I thought Mac was lying because he gave no indication whatsoever of knowing Roa's role (I thought he would have dropped some kind of hint if he did), but after Gil turned out to be innocent, I decided to be on the safe side and protect Mac on night 3.
On day 3, seeing Lommy was a wolf, I trusted Mac & thought I didn't have anything to lose (except my life

)by bluffing to protect him for one more night. At first I actually thought I would be killed if the wolf thought Mac was protected, but Nogrod's suspicions made me realize that wasn't necessarily the case. I mentioned the possibility Nogrod would be the kill primarily to reinforce the idea that Mac was protected; the fact that Xyzzy actually attacked Nogrod was just the "icing on the cake", so to speak. Obviously, I couldn't protect Mac or myself, so I protected Nogrod on night 4, betting Sixth or Xyzzy would 'follow my advice'.
Nogrod actually had me a little worried on the last day, with his suspicion that Mac and I were lovers - which, in retrospect, was pretty cool because it kept the game exciting right to the end.
I think this may be the first time I've survived to the end of a game...maybe the second.
