The Rookie Werewolf - Game Thread

[Edward the Barber]

Do you think we’re playing blind the entire game?

i prob should have corrected that after i read on, as it does appear that once moncia is dead a full on auto priest will kick in.

The sooner we kill her the better so

[William the Grave Robber]

Finally getting up to speed and have some (albeit possibyl useless thoughts)

A good few active players and plenty of low posters (including myself so far)

As always wolves will have some active and less active players and I expect there's a wolf in the bottom somewhere and good chance the SK is there too as they've no friends to help them and need to stay relatively innocuous.

Out of the low scorers I don't particularly like the "vibe" of yet are: Jacob, Dora, Edward, Magda, Ina and Gordon. Problem is they can't all be bad actors .

Out of the other players I'd be suspicious of Boris, Vincent and Robin.


Sadly too wide a net yet but not much to really stake a claim on.

What in Inas 1 post and Magda and Gordon's 2 posts are pinging with you?

Just nothing posts with no insight or involvement other than posting for posting sake.

Why didn't you include your own post count in that table?

Wanted to include this from the off and give the tally before I jumped in, seemed better than posting thoughts, then the count so I'd appear in there.

[William the Grave Robber]

Our of curiosity @Mick the Drunk why did you only care to know about Ina/Magda and Gordon? Are you suspicious of the others mentioned similar to myself?

[William the Grave Robber]

Also question to players who've played with an SK before, can they murder each day generally including day 1 whenever they like or do they have to wait or earn their kill?

[Moe the Innkeeper]

Gordon's 2 posts, a check in yesterday and getting a gif to work this morning. Nothing to go on so far which isn't great

[Moe the Innkeeper]

Also question to players who've played with an SK before, can they murder each day generally including day 1 whenever they like or do they have to wait or earn their kill?

Game dependent I think. Some games sk can kill 1 per cycle, other it's at a set time or a night action.

From the OP it looks very much like a night action here, so I'd expect it to be announced with the munch tomorrow morning. Sk's usually don't have to earn a kill or task for it as it's a tough enough role as it is!

[William the Grave Robber]

Thanks Moe, so Munch time tomorrow will be very interesting indeed.

[Mick the Drunk]

Our of curiosity @Mick the Drunk why did you only care to know about Ina/Magda and Gordon? Are you suspicious of the others mentioned similar to myself?

Because they were three lowest posters, someone not having good vibes with 1/2 posts is a bit of a stretch. Is there a wolf in the low posters, likely enough. I doubt theres more than one so throwing 6 or 7 low posters in there as not passing the vibe test is suspicious enough to me. 

Picked the lowest 3 to see if you'd give any actual insight as to why

[William the Grave Robber]

Fair enough, would like to see more from those posters before this evenings vote to be honest.

The number of nothing posters is very big at the moment. There are some others I'd be wary of from the mid-larged contributors but hey, don't want a target on my back just yet if I am right 😅

[Edward the Barber]

Games I’ve played before it’s been a night action so their kill announced same time in the morning as munch. 

With wolf priest in play if there was only one death announced in the morning but there’d already been a lynch or vig shot, then I’d be inclined to think the SK was dead.

[Dora the Explorer]

I feel like there are people defending other people on here for no good or real reason. e.g. There have been 2 posters defending CM. I am sure she is big and bold enough to defend herself. Why put yourself in the spotlight in that way?
I also don't think announcing oneself as a NRV is a particualrly good move anyway. If you are trying to move the wolves away from you, would they not just think you are "deliberately" saying that- like whoever said about the I am Spartacus. Or if they are a NRV then just shush about it, and don't give the wolves any help into narrowing down who the RVs are! The only ploy I can see for that would be to deflect suspicion off yourself that you are a wolf!

This whole "low posters are suss" thing. I mean I would say it as I am a low poster but sometimes we don't have anything sage to add. I certainly don't at the moment, so my posts will appear as "nothing" posts. THere are players on here that are far more capable or explaining game mechanisms and/or extrapolating them from the DMs initial post then I will ever be. Granted I have posted a bit above, but I don't have any real insight so early in the game- or ever really! LOL

I agree with Benji on Moe's copy and paste "mimicry" being a little odd. And as I said the defence of others when there is no need is odd for me too.

there is nothing odd about the copy/paste thing. its an issue with the website, and has happened me in prior games.

look at the thread - all the text is white on a black background.

look at when you type in a reply. black text on a white background.

what happens is you paste white text onto a white background and so it looks like there is nothing there.

[Moe the Innkeeper]

I think you're mixing me up with someone else here? Or if you could quote what you mean & I'll answer

[Dora the Explorer]

@Robin the Jester and @Moe the Innkeeper I am referring to what Benji said about mimicry when I mentiond copy and paste. I will go back and quote what I meant.

I am not speaking about Countess' copy and paste issue (which I agree is a technical issue- but there are folks uneccisarily defending her on it; it is a technical issue- we all agree)

Sadly too wide a net yet but not much to really stake a claim on.

You really should go into a little detail apart from vibe because this post to me just looks like post for posting sake but trying to dress it up as been helpful.

Just my opinion but it's basically got you from a low post count to a mid post count and all you had to do was copy up a list and throw in a few names with nothing but vibe and reply to everyone that asked you about it with more nothing vibes.

[Dora the Explorer]

@Moe the Innkeeper Apologies, it was Mick, not you that was being referred to! It's Ms and the link to alcohol that confused me.

[Ina May the Midwife]

Afternoon dears.

Wow … that’s impressive Benjy.
My only hmmm (I wouldn’t go so far as an ick) was Ina posting full on and then crickets yesterday.

Glad you haven't gotten the ick from my hello post Amy. It was more introductory than anything. I see you're a new player, welcome aboard.

Cause he was calling out low posters but hadn't actually post at all themselves. They copied it from the post count list so only posters show up. Now they are on ten posts in an hour's work.

[Moe the Innkeeper]

@Moe the Innkeeper Apologies, it was Mick, not you that was being referred to! It's Ms and the link to alcohol that confused me.

No worries, Mick is my best customer   

And on the low poster thing, it can also be a quality vs quantity issue.. If someone only has a few posts but they are interacting, giving reads & opinions or some sort of gameplay conversation early on then fair enough. If they post something dodgy it can be picked up on. If someone by afternoon/evening on Monday only has 1/2 posts checking in and fluffing, it's a red flag to me. Then you get to Tuesday and they check in a few more times, say nothing & coast.

Case and point, right now. You mentioned me, allbeit accidentally & now we're interacting. It's how I play the game cause with the anon accounts I can find it hard to remember them all.

[Magda the Maid]

Apologies for the late log in today folks, wont happen again this week, had a firewall issue. Happy to get stuck in now.

[Friar Tuck]

So Benji is starting with the accusations, someone has to, I suppose.

I'm just disappointed that no one has streaked yet. 😂

Welcome to Benjis Nightly* Lists of Likes and Worries.
(*non-commital)

(took me ages to figure out how to embed the gif)

Today, Benji liked….people working through the rules and roles and tryin to figure out what info we can glean from them. Marki Mark and Moe are the two I have as most involved in that legwork.

Today, Benji disliked…one post players whose posts made me feel icky. Micks post that felt like a repost of info others had already outlined and also was a bit negative straight off the bat as an example. Gave me a weird vibe. I think there should be positivity going into the game.

Today, Benji also disliked…Jacob’s sole post of the day being about how the wolfs are looking for the traitor who could be a recruit. One post and it being about a mechanic where the wolves need to find someone. Gives me the ick.

Not much else happening today. Hopefully Monday sees some stuff to work with before we have to vote someone out.

friar, you posted this before benjamin posted his thoughts. 

did you somehow know in advance he was going to post this?

No, it was the conversation at the time if you read back.

[Gordon the Cook]

Any genuine first time newbies here so we keep them free from lynch later?

I’ve played a few games in the past,but it’s been a while. Hard to remember all the lingo!

[Gordon the Cook]

And first time using this platform.

[Magda the Maid]

If the theme is Police Show does this mean we all get guns?

If so where are my bullets and how many bullets do I get?

[Ina May the Midwife]

Magda pinged a bit for me yesterday. Couple of posts, one to say they don't know theme & next a gif that they don't know what's going on. Early days but just seems to me like trying to coast.

Vincent a 1 post wonder check in with nothing else, Robin kinda similar with 2 posts but has said they will be more active today.

Mick also for that slightly negative 1st post, they did follow it up to me somewhat but still something I'm keeping in mind.

I was busy 🤷
Interesting you didn't mention Ina who also had one post only yesterday.

Reading back, this also piqued my interest that as a fellow one-post wonder I wasn't called out at the time but it's early days so I'm not putting much weight on it at the moment.

I'm not sure if there was enough in the one post I had to give any vibe and surely you couldn't have been calling out someone as being suss for having low post numbers in what was your first post.

You had already been called out by Amy, no point in me calling you out too at that stage.

Ok, care to explain why?

Easy Moe, calling out low posters before game properly gets underway, if the thoughts are there is a wolf hiding in low posts numbers there easily could be a high posting wolf... and currently Moe is number 1 for posts.

WRT NRV issue. The wolves know who the other wolves are. Everyone not them is either NRV/RV/SK. NRV/RV/SK are all going to claim NRV status so me saying I'm an NRV doesn' give the wolves any new information, as they don't know whether I am telling the truth or not.

Furthermore if anyone genuinely thought my post was giving the wolves information why Streisand Effect it by referring to it repeatedly. Experienced posters, which Mick seems to be, know to note things to themselves and move on.

True, and now at least some of the above have given a bit more. Dora's post comes across more genuine with a bit of thought to it for example. Getting reactions from people is about as much as can be done early doors. Until we have voting patterns to analyse or murders to reflect on we don't have a whole pile else.

Also as others haven't been in favour of the "vibe" comment its based on very little and I've seen many a poster glide by with quick checkins no analysis or interaction and garner little suspicion because they don't post.

Game is underway as soon as the thread is live, my post was this morning... Calling out low posters to get them posting is a hill I'm willing to die on, too many games a low lying wolf sneaks to the end.

At least you've given a read now I suppose!

Cause he was calling out low posters but hadn't actually post at all themselves. They copied it from the post count list so only posters show up. Now they are on ten posts in an hour's work.

I acknowledged in that first post that I too was a no poster so didn't bother to post then grab the list for some kind of clout.

I've found the post lists helpful before and other players have presented these in the past which I was most grateful for. So if you don't see any value that's fine but also if people aren't contributing then that can't be let slide either.

One observation that may mean nothing. Countess posted about reading Benjamin the Alchemist as Benjamin the Antichrist, Benji replied by saying they have Countess down as Marki Mark in their notes.

Will get a chance for a full read back later and gives my thoughts.
