Oh yeah that.

Sorry!

But frankly, when ten villagers vote for someone, I think we should support them just to highlight how dumb that is.

I can't believe Brinn is the only person who's even mentioned that we learn NOTHING from the votes, since everyone voted for the same person.

Sorry again. :-/ (Bit ironic, that: me misremembering the rules...)

UH-HUH.

It also makes Greenie Stand out a lot, whichever way Form flips.

(How did we just see 6 votes in 10 minutes - half an hour before DL?!)

The Dead

Boro (Town Recorder) - murdered by pack Night 1
Huinesoron (Villager) - lynched Day 1
Loslote (Villager) - killed by pack Night 2
Nogrod (Villager) - Lynched Day 2
Blind Guardian (Villager) - killed by pack Night 3
Formendacil (Villager) - lynched Day 3

Welcome Formendacil!

Take comfort the dead believed you...erm for the most part! It wasn't fully out of spite and anger towards the lynch mob.

And seriously HOW IS THIS HAPPENING IN MY VILLAGE AGAIN!

I TRY TO DESIGN A GAME THAT DOESN'T TURN INTO A BATTLE OF WOLVES VS. GIFTEDS AND THIS IS WHAT I GET

/Rant.

Well not so much a rant or anger, I just seriously can't believe after that 2011 Lake Town game...the exact same thing is happening.

It's no ordinary Lady Fortuna -stuff, it's the Fates, like in the Ancient Greece!

Btw. the narration kind of did us a favour - and there's the other side of the coin as well.

By stressing the uneasiness we had here, Boro gave the impression that we empowered Form because of him getting into the gallows (which is partly true, of course). So if the wolves have not suspected Greenie of seership (and she is the one), then we have nicely ducked any connection to Greenie with our vote-empowerment and thus gave the wolves no aid in discovering that.

The downside then of course is, that the villagers also think like that and pay no attention to the fact that we were actually and actively trying to get Legate lynched - and that they probably should do that.

From Boro's comment on Form complaining in the narration that even the dead disagree, I got the vibe he's innocent.

But who knows?

It would be quite nasty blow to our self-esteem if all the village was right and we were totally wrong. Especially if Greenie and Form were the wolves who tried to prevent the lynch, but even the two other wolves gave up on him and decided to throw him under the bus.

If it helps, Form, We The Dead completely agree.

I guess he answered that himself in the Thread.

Its a cold comfort we were right in this as there are still only ordinary villagers down.

Boro, why do the special roles in your games never die?

Honestly, the village had a really good shot at lynching a wolf toDay, and most of them decided to just coast. Which is a really bad move, because obviously the easy choice is going to be the one the wolves are pushing! Now we're in serious trouble toMorrow, and an early vote from an innocent basically dooms the village. We just have to hope the innocents wake up and realize we're already in the end game.
