Meeting at the Town Cobbler (WW XCV game thread)

[Nogrod]

Okay. It bothered me, why would Greenie behave that dubiously and I checked the rules for something that I thought might apply...

So she was trying to signal a possible fellow-wolf? I mean if they don't know each others identities, then they should try to do something to not let a fellow-lynch to happen.

Which thought actuslly puts the idea of no lynch thisHour into a different light as well...

[Macalaure]

So if I understand this correctly, if the voting is tied, we don't lynch anyone, but every non-vote is cast randomly?

In that case trying to orchestrate a tie/non-lynch is impossible considering the number of people who will likely miss the vote.

unless we establish our intentions early enough... which I think we should do (not an exemplary Hour thisHour... ).

I like it. That's definitely better than what I was using.

Incorrect, sir. If someone misses two votes without reason, then their vote will be cast toward a random guest. And yes, in the event of a tie, no one dies.

[Macalaure]

Ah, got it.

Then let's tie it:

Does that only go for the second consecutive non-vote? I don't remember.

x/d again with last three.

[Inziladun]

All right.

++Wilwa

Cos I'm more sure about Mac's innocence than Nog's.

Best I've got.

[Nogrod]

Interesting...

Indeed. It should probably worry me that I'm getting innocent vibes from Mac.

x/d with Rikae x 2

Oh, ok then.

I'm not on board with a tie/non-lynch, and my two suspects are up for lynching. Hm.

[Rikae]

Ack. DL.

[Macalaure]

If Wilwa is innocent then clearly Mac and Inzil conspired to save their packmate Greenie.

[Nogrod]

So when will you tell us the result SS so that we can continue the discussion?

I mean do I go to sleep or are you telling it like soonsh that I should stay up for a moment still?

[Nogrod]

Oaky. I think I'm really off with the rules.

Last time I read them I got the idea we can talk 24/7 but now as I skimmed them through I couldn't be that definitive anymore.

So do we have Nights and Days (Nights= not talking) even if we just call them hours. or are some "hours" just for silence?

[satansaloser2005]

Once you've all checked in, we'll be serving drinks in the main lobby, and we'll have some entertainment arriving shortly, weather permitting.

(Yeah, keep talking. There's no silent phase for the ordos.)

[Nogrod]

okay. Just trying to figure this out by checking the rules...

Though Days and Nights technically do not exist in this game, wolves may only PM during “Night” phases.

So we are allowed to post 24/7?

Then every 24 hours we vote for someone and every next 24 hours the wolves try to eliminate one? But we call them Hours and not Days / Nights, even if they follow each other the same way as Days & Nights. And thus the only difference is that the speech is free all the time (except for the wolves who can only plot every other Hour)?

But what then does this mean?

So we'll continue discussion from our rooms - in Facebook or msn (imaginary or real?)...

Okay, you explained the first one already. But how strict will you be with the highlighting thing? I mean technically I think we lynched no one if non-highlighted votes do not count?

The game will begin with a Day phase; thus, the committee will not be able to discuss anything until the end of the first hour (allowing time for the group to meet, mingle, and then sort of get to business). I am happy to take suggestions on whether it would be a terrible idea to not reveal the other committee members until the end of the first Day phase.

So it is an issue that was only suggested and pending...

Well, my suspicion on Greenie rests on the "committee members" in fact not knowing each other - as that was how I somehow had read that piece in the rules earlier. In that case she might have had a motive to signal to her partner (and that would have been pretty witty way of doing it), but if they knew each other already, then that of course would have been futile and risky - something I don't think Greenie would have done.


So could you deart SS elaborate on these few questions?


EDIT: X'd with the SS, one question answered, a few still to come...

Good point. I forgot that, but non-voting will actually just take the lynch out of one's own hands and put oneself at risk.

[Nogrod]

Okay.

I'll go for a try.

++ Greenie

[Eönwë]

But Nog, the fact that they are not allowed to discuss would suggest that they do know the identities of the others. Though I quite like the sound of the idea of letting the committee attack each other, I doubt a Mod would allow such things.
