That's why I've pretty much given up on trying to post detailed analyses, especially in villages as large as in this game (it's not a village anymore, it's a city!). I may notice all that stuff (well, some of it), but by the time I've written it all out with all the pertinent quotes the game has moved on already.

You want to talk to phantom about that, I've been told he's the master of systematic werewolvery.
Me, I just keep a record of the voting tally and jot down things that stand out - possible wolf tells if I'm innocent, things I can use against innocents if I'm a wolf, but not a lot of either. Mostly I sort of wing it - I mean, it's a game, not a doctoral thesis.

If there's another game in the foreseeable future that would actually be an interesting setting, if it hasn't been done yet. I mean, Maeglin is kind of the archetypal cobbler, right?

I have seen his binders. I am not sure I am quite ready to the advanced class just yet.

There is also a gimmick, if you will, used on another site, where people can select their own character before the game begins. I wonder if that idea could be introduced in FoG game.

We used to do something like that, pick characters or professions before the game (like, some person was the village carpenter, someone else the herbalist or blacksmith or what have you). These are mostly used in early game banter, but it tends to be frowned upon if you post too much in character, as it's easy for wolves to hide behind that. This is not an RPG, and it's important to distinguish between the character you choose and the role you're assigned by the mod.

Hheeyyy guys,
I've been pointed to this thread, so I just wanted to make it known that I want to play in the next game! If it happens soon - hopefully not in two years! And in August the last two classes of my Bachelor's degree start so hopefully before then too! If there's anything that I can do to help the next game happen, let me know!

edit: I also just realized that I've been invisible for years - since my last game!

I would play another game too, assuming that there's gonna be a little breather in between (I think sometime in June would be possible?) and that it's likely gonna be a bit smaller village (I think some people may have been a little exhausted ). I also wanted to say that I can't sadly participate as much next time as I'm going back to work on June 2nd but given my post count last game, maybe it's not entirely a bad thing...

I would love to play again! I have my thesis proposal on June 12th, so I might be a little distracted for a day or two around then, but a Werewolf game to keep me from stressing too much about the proposal sounds really great, haha!

I remember him showing them to us as well while visiting his place almost ten years ago (well actually quite exactly, it was the end of June 2010!). Yes. I agree. That's the pro-level.

I used to pick up quotes with a post number to a Word-file while reading the thread through. With the help of impressions and quotes that stood up it was easier to have a hang of whom to suspect or whom to trust (or whose "slips" or unhappy wordings to use if a wolf).

But yes, with a big village (or a city!) it's quite challenging to have a clear view of what's going on.

Legate has reminded people, quite correctly, in the Discussion Thread of this game we have now, that with a lot of wolves there is a bigger probability that one of them gets lynched early and the innocents might find a track from there - but it is also true, that in a chaotic / big village those who know with whom to co-operate are having the upper hand.

Looking forwards to some interesting gaming...
