The Fellowship of the Ring Werewolf

[Ina May the Midwife]

Well lookit, this to me seems to be akin to role madness more or less.

Let's examine the lore again.

The Fellowship has 9 members, 4 of which are hobbits.

There's also Legolas, Aragorn, Gimli, Boromir and Gandalf

That's 9.

Then add in what we know already which was Elrond, so 10 from 16.

Wolves - 3, maybe 4 plus Gollum Smeagol and that brings us up to 14/15.

Other possible characters would be Arwen (Elrond's daughter and Aragorn's lover), or possibly Galadriel.

Hobbits I'd view as sort of NRV+, as in they have an important role but perhaps not huge powers.

I can see a world where all those characters exist with minor powers tbh, specifically because it's based on Fellowship and all characters (iirc without checking) were in the OP picture.

And based on that (but why initially I was reluctant to dig deeper into it on day 0) is why I think we could be dealing with 4 wolves

Id agree it's pretty much role madness at this point.. what do you think of that part of the OP. What do you think that means.

Flavour, tbh. Just done in the lore of the theme.

Werewolf is generally full of deception.

Not anything we need to worry about for a minute or two but would the wolves have been given a list of claimable characters who are not in the game. To protect them from a mass claim..

It's possible but given the mods are strongly advising against directly character claiming I'm not so sure.

[Ina May the Midwife]

Actually now I'm thinking about it, 3 starting wolves and the potential for the ring to corrupt a hobbit might make more sense?

What do others think?

There is no character claiming.. but wolves could claim any type of role they want with it being hard to counter claim it. we just have to hope they slip up somewhat.

Wolves might have a mechanic to kill claims. It will be interesting to see what happens with anyone who has claimed if this is a thing or not.

Oh, so Edward didn't actually claim legolas ? We're just assuming it ?

Yep, could be that indeed

He made it blooming obvious but he has not actually claimed it, importantly

Grand. I'm so behind on the events of yesterday

[Magda the Maid]

Surely when you are giving the command to the mods it is there for you, and you would know what it is. Be it a movement check, watcher or a track. So which exactly is it?

Watcher, and I picked the wrong Blooming person to watch last night

Here @Vincent the Artist

[Benjamin the Alchemist]

Rhoda, Mick, William, Frank, Edward

Edward SK
Posts enough to be sage but safe enough to not be noticed.

2 wolves in the other 4
Did Rhoda and Betty think they could get people onboard Wendy wagon. Me thinks yes

Watch the quiet ones. Throwaway votes as they did not want to impact a wagon against Betty and Rhoda

Won't be on thread until after munch so use this as a whisper in the wind if my presence is no longer in physical form

Was Prada given inaccurate information?

[Ina May the Midwife]

Why do you say you might be gone in the morning? If people are talking about lynching you  then you are probably the least likely to be munched/killed

Seriously?

This was Laura's last post.

Come out and play @Laura the Lace Mistress

Could her info have potentially been tampered with either?

Assuming for a sec wolves can kill character claims, which we absolutely do not know... clearly wolves can't kill a character claim unless it is stated obviously, as in I am xyz.. So wolves can't just go to the mods & say 'Ed is claiming Legolas', and have Ed killed... Unless Ed is actually a wolf!! God I hate this game (not really)

Why? What is your reasoning?

Gimme 30 mins or so and I’ll reply to you explaining my reasoning. I have to pop out and want to be here to reply to any follow up questions you have.

Hi @Benjamin the Alchemist how's the reasoning going?

She was our investigator so had no reason to lie to us. I doubt the post on thread was tampered with but the answer to her question may have been written in the wolf den.

Was just going back the thread to find my own post and came across the Prada one first 😂 

one min …

[Magda the Maid]

I think we are going to twist ourselves in knots trying to understand the mechanics until something actually happens to confirm them as tampered or wrong etc think for yourselves i suppose and make the decision if you want to believe anyones claims. dont take anything as 100%

That's what I mean, the likes of Saruman could potentially corrupt a peek I reckon

Agreed, I think in a worse case scenario this game is going to boil down to unverified action claims

Prada had an alignment check, she named Edward as SK which we now know to be wrong.

She was suspicious of Rhoda who we now know would have shown as good.

I think Edward was checked and shown as bad, Prada obviously assumed SK.

I think Edward is a wolf and that's why the role claim was so confused and contradictory. Edward might well be a wolf tracker and can use that to find roled players.

I see everyone suspects me because of my Day 2 vote on Rhoda but she was suspicious as feck, so suspicious that many of you voted to lynch her last night. I voted for Edward because I thought he was the SK, I'll be voting for him today because I think he is a wolf and Prada got a bad result from her alignment check.

[William the Grave Robber]

I get the suspicion but I didn't bus. I did spend the entire day pushing Betty even when others thought they spotted things about her (Magda, and Laura brought up different posts).

It would be a pretty hardcore thing to do on Day 1 to a teammate!

[William the Grave Robber]

i'm hungover and away so my contribution will be close enough to nil today.

Noticed this last night when he picked the second of my posts without actually reading the first that had exactly what he was saying I didn't say in it

@Laura the Lace Mistress take yourself out of that D1 Rhoda vote & put William (name picked at random) in instead

Main wagon yeets a wolf. Do you not want to look at all at the counter wagon?

It's the D1 Rhoda vote we're looking at, not the D2

It's in the post you quoted, I'm voting for Edward based on Prada's post. I think she did an alignment check on him, he came back bad and she assumed SK.

Will read back on others and give my thoughts later.

I’d like to talk about singular voters, of which I am one. Would there be a wolf voting wolf possibility on a player getting no heat?

I’d like to talk about singular voters, of which I am one. Would there be a wolf voting wolf possibility on a player getting no heat?

Its definitely possible, but its WIFOM at this stage

You, mick, vern, Frank, William... let's get reasons for why they voted where they did

I’d like to talk about singular voters, of which I am one. Would there be a wolf voting wolf possibility on a player getting no heat?

Frank voting Mick perhaps, Mick had zero heat.

You voted me. I know I'm not a wolf so that didn't happen there.

Mick voted William but William had been getting a good bit of heat through the day from Magda and Pat. I think Magda actually moved her vote to Rhoda from there but she'll clarify.

Vernon voted Pat. That was a fairly loud argument between the two of them. I'm suss of Vernon for other reasons though, not the vote. Like Betty their village energy just feels off and they've gone AWOL since the lynch.

William voted Prada, that's obviously not W/W


Not sure they'd have voted each other though, based on Betty's vote they look quite risk-averse as a team


Vinnie voted Edward alongside Prada, he's not a single voter per se but he can still be a wolf if Eddie flips SK

I’ll move off Edward too. Rhoda should have enough votes in her so I’m gonna go Mick.

My own notes in my notepad has me question ing a William/Mick team but William was getting heat and had some votes already. Mick voted there around 7.30 so I disregarded them as a team. 
I’d written a Frank/Mick team a possibility because Frank voted Mick who wasn’t in danger in anyway. 



Mick’s posts are not rocking any boats and that is why I’m voting them. I may be wrong about a Frank/Mick team I don’t think I’m wrong about Mick. 

what made you vote mick, Frank?

Apologies I missed the "I will be voting for him" part there.

I know I'm not a wolf, Rhoda peeked you, Magda has role claimed, why would I look there?

Why are you ignoring the post from Prada? Edward obviously showed as bad.

What about it stood out though? I was part of a discussion we were having around Ina possibly bussing Betty so was in the context of the conversation at the time

[Laura the Lace Mistress]

Check why so many voted for Rhoda over Edward in light of Prada's post. There was obviously a wolf saved last night

That's why we are looking there. So if you wern't in the three and William was, do you concede William would be dodgy as fook?

We went with Prada's posts yesterday and got it wrong (probably more through our own fault than hers). Ed has claimed & Prada called Ed the SK. I think if Prada had definite info on Ed she would have called him bad, rather than SK. That's my read of it atm
