I'd agree, no more than 3 wolves with a SK
Anyone you think might be bad?
I am merely saying that fear can lead to aggression as easily as 'badness' and am asking Ina and Wendy for their thoughts on that. I was hoping their response might help to clarify which way they are leaning.
In truth, none of us are perfect. I, too, have wrestled with self doubt. But Pat… I do wonder about you. You came into this company with words of wolves and how few there might be. I cannot help but question whether you already knew their number, and sought to appear as one unknowing.
I don't fear anything lol, it's a game and to find the wolves you have to ask the hard questions, that's all. No offence is meant but I'm going to robust in my questions to posters, that ain't changing.

But yes, I did start the game by talking about wolves. That's the point of the game

I just cant knock @William the Grave Robber's goodnight post last night. It was as if he was active. but there was over 2 hours from his previous post to that one, would really like to see more from him today rather than the excel sheets and the like. Day 1 though, little to go on. Suspicious of everyone. @Rhoda the Spinster throwing shade without naming names as i said previously. Thats all i have at the moment.
I also dont really buy the exchange between yourself @Ina May the Midwife & @Pat the Baker over the wolves in the OP. I am going to read all the thread again at lunch so will look again then, to me at the time it looked like a "gotcha" moment that you could use to make yourself appear Village.
This is all day 0 stuff though so its not really anything groundbreaking

Fair enough. I wasn't actually wolf reading Pat though I was just pointing out his interpretation was wrong. Haven't actually called him a wolf at all, just said he was wrong!
Have a look at Betty's posts too though while you're at it. I know it's early but I couldn't even pin her down to naming someone they thought were suss, it was all obfuscation through character spiel
RE: The Fellowship of the Ring Werewolf - Pat the Baker - 13-10-2025
Agreed for the moment on Betty, decent number of posts but total fluff, even the chat on number of players doesn't really help
They have said they will be reviewing the thread this morning so lets see if they come back with anything worthwhile
RE: The Fellowship of the Ring Werewolf - Rhoda the Spinster - 13-10-2025
Betty and Magda were my suspicions. I'll have to read back as one of them had a really good read on the game. Almost too good. So either someone with insider knowledge or a very experienced player.
However now that it turns out that they were right in a lot of their supposition, I don't know if that makes it more or less suspicious.
Also one of them references a follow up post from the GM and there was no follow up post.... at least, not on here as far as I can see
As I say, I'll need to look back over the posts and see.
Sadly have a few World of Man issues to attend to today before I return to matters of Middle Earth

Sorry folks totally forgot this was on!
As expected the OP is quite vague with details! On thing that did catch my eye was on the Auto Priest:
Quote:Autopriest
After a Lynch result is confirmed on thread, the GM will share the full name, role, and abilities (if applicable) of the victim. A full table of votes on each player will be shared in chronological order.
This only mentions Lynch - does that mean we won't be told when the wolves / SK strike?
RE: The Fellowship of the Ring Werewolf - Wendy the Wench - 13-10-2025
After the battle we have 15 players left.
Everybody in my ffa0 is still alive.
20 dead 15 still living. That’s worse off than a coin flip.
Is everybody else thinking 4 wolves would be one too many?

We got no flips for any of the 20 who died this morning, so i guess that’s right.

Why wouldn't the people on your FFA be alive? That kill was obviously a flavour kill to remove the names not needed on the lynch form (previously pointed out by Ina I think). The OP confirms the first action is tonight.

No it was a flavour kill so we don't need alignments as they were never really playing the game. I can't tell if you are really not understanding the game or just trying to come across like that

I think with the addition of SK, 10 v 4 v 1 would be a bit lobsided from a numbers perspective, i would have 3 as the maximum number. It is also possible that they start with a lower number than that.
The Wolves win when their numbers equal or exceed the number of Villagers, successfully corrupting or overwhelming the Free Peoples of Middle Earth

Suppose we'll see what happens with the munch tomorrow, or if there's a kill by SK before that. If we don't get told when someone gets SK killed then we have to keep looking at the lynch form to see who is alive! Usually the wording in an OP is quite deliberate

I do think we will be told who is killed but just not their alignment so we won't need to check the lynch form

Yeah, seems like it would be very difficult for the village. One thought I had was that there could be a dual account wolf? How would that play out in the numbers. I don't think it works though.
@William the Grave Robber answering a question meant for @Pat the Baker just niggled at me that there could be dual identities floating about but I think the amount of accounts eliminated probably rules it out so I've parked it. I think.

This remains unclear, we should hope for many yet they have not made themselves known so far. Come forth friends and let us set about destroying this damned ring before it corrupts us all.
Let us hope that our allies have skills that may aid and protect us in our quest.

Flavour my dear, so far we have only begun our journey and nothing is clear, only that Gollum is the SK and we are likely among several wolves. So far a lot of postulating and guessing has occurred but nothing of note. Seeking to discredit me for simply joining in the fun would be a fools errand. We need to watch ourselves and hope that whomever among us are the hero's can work to prevent the wolves from harming us.
It is unclear what abilities may be at play, the Lord of the rings central basis is around the ring of power but each race also has skills or abilities that may play a role here. Could there be an elf character that can see through disguises and reveal roles? Maybe someone is Aragorn and can either defend allies or kill foes.
Either way we should watch closely and not cast random aspersions over flavour posts.

They are making up a narrative as opposed to regaling what actually happened.
Is that the correct usage of regaling?
Recalling and expressing.
If that is not what regaling means then i meant that.
Having the first post and joining in the fun are the same. This is a game we've all agreed to engage in and I consider posting/chatting to be part of the fun. So you can look at this as a lie if you wish but I don't see what you're seeing.

Have you any thoughts outside your method acting about the players or are you just going to play in character for the game.
That is fair, I'm enjoying the acting quite a bit. As mentioned I will come back with some more substance later in terms of whom I think is worth pursuing. For now other than some players firing accusations all around I couldn't give a particular person I'd suspect with any real belief. I feel its too soon/difficult unless some one would be so kind as to reveal themselves wolf or SK?

@Ina May the Midwife Playing to the character somewhat and somewhat fluffing out the posts with it, i thought their response to Wendy was suffiecient, i even questioned Wendy with that one. there was a little something in their posts that piqued my interest but i'll be keeping that to myself for now.

Mulling over the opening words here.
Does any among you believe this suggests that the wolves may recruit to their ranks?
Be warned, the path to victory is shrouded in deception.
... the Ring itself is a persistent and powerful force; even if its current bearer falls, its fate may not be sealed...
The Wolves... successfully corrupting or overwhelming the Free Peoples of Middle Earth.

So on this. I think that the ring bearer has certain powers, attune to say a JOAT role.
However, using the powers comes with a price.
I don't think there are conversions per se BUT if the ring bearer uses the ring too many times they themselves may become corrupted.
The game is heavily lore based and the ring is a corruptive device so that's my interpretation of the wording in the OP.
RE: The Fellowship of the Ring Werewolf - Pat the Baker - 13-10-2025
Is converting, or anything like it, something that happens in Lord of the Rings?
It's usually something that gets announced on thread anyway. But this game you wouldn't be sure cause we've very little to go on so far

It's usually something that gets announced on thread anyway. But this game you wouldn't be sure cause we've very little to go on so far
No. The ring itself is a force for evil though and everyone who carries it is affected by that.
Isildur didn't cast the ring into Mount Doom because he was corrupted by its power.
The ring then betrayed Isildur and eventually fell to Smeagol/Gollum who became corrupted by its power.
Bilbo Baggins then stole the ring from Gollum and also became affected (though to a lesser extent) by the ring.
Then it passed to Frodo who also demonstrated at times that he was affected by it.

Something unusual going on with the ring perhaps, but again feck all to go on

Does any among you believe this suggests that the wolves may recruit to their ranks?
Be warned, the path to victory is shrouded in deception.
... the Ring itself is a persistent and powerful force; even if its current bearer falls, its fate may not be sealed...
The Wolves... successfully corrupting or overwhelming the Free Peoples of Middle Earth.

I also think that Pat raised a good point that would also back that up, the wording in OP's are deliberate
So on this. I think that the ring bearer has certain powers, attune to say a JOAT role.
However, using the powers comes with a price.
I don't think there are conversions per se BUT if the ring bearer uses the ring too many times they themselves may become corrupted.
The game is heavily lore based and the ring is a corruptive device so that's my interpretation of the wording in the OP.
RE: The Fellowship of the Ring Werewolf - Rhoda the Spinster - 13-10-2025
The ring makes people myopic and selfish. I wonder could it give them special (evil) powers then?
RE: The Fellowship of the Ring Werewolf - Laura the Lace Mistress - 13-10-2025
Had a quick read, it's good that we have a better idea of numbers. Will have a full read back after lunch and post my thoughts then.
RE: The Fellowship of the Ring Werewolf - Magda the Maid - 13-10-2025
^or possibly night actually as the OP alludes to only Lynch as day action
"Gameplay
Day Phase - 10am−9pm: This is the voting phase. Players discuss, debate, and vote to lynch one person they suspect is a Wolf. The person with the most votes is eliminated from the game.
Night Phase - 9pm−10am: The GM receives private messages from players with special roles. The Wolves choose their target, the Serial Killer chooses theirs, and any special actions are carried out."

Yeah, I think the Ring is definitely what the corruption refers to in the OP. What that corruption entails though... is less certain.

Yeah that would be my assessment as well. The corruption could be anything. It could be joining the wolves, it could be the ring bearer dies. Could be a number of things really.

20 dead 15 still living. That’s worse off than a coin flip.
Is everybody else thinking 4 wolves would be one too many?
Yeah, seems like it would be very difficult for the village. One thought I had was that there could be a dual account wolf? How would that play out in the numbers. I don't think it works though.
@William the Grave Robber answering a question meant for @Pat the Baker just niggled at me that there could be dual identities floating about but I think the amount of accounts eliminated probably rules it out so I've parked it. I think.
you best explain how i answered a question meant for pat.

I'd agree, no more than 3 wolves with a SK
Anyone you think might be bad?
I am merely saying that fear can lead to aggression as easily as 'badness' and am asking Ina and Wendy for their thoughts on that. I was hoping their response might help to clarify which way they are leaning.
In truth, none of us are perfect. I, too, have wrestled with self doubt. But Pat… I do wonder about you. You came into this company with words of wolves and how few there might be. I cannot help but question whether you already knew their number, and sought to appear as one unknowing.

RE: The Fellowship of the Ring Werewolf - Vernon the Ranger - 13-10-2025
For the more knowledge among us in the way of lotr, what sort of special powers could we expect? How many of us jabronies would there be and how many special ones? I'm guessing 3 with powers and 8 jabronies. I wonder will they tell us when powers have been used.
