The Rookie Werewolf - Game Thread

[Lilly the Millennial]

Do we find out? Is there any “I am and always have been ..’?
I had 10 minutes to vote during interval at a play - so I just voted for someone who seemed to be like a dog with bone about an observation I made on day 1 to the extent that I thought the might be protecting someone - so I voted Tuck.

No we don’t find out until we kill the wolf priest.

Sort of. The DM of the game will (probably) tell us in the morning what William s alignment was.

 Ugh what?!

[Ina May the Midwife]

I voted earlier for Ina May not much posting and her interaction with Moe seems off.

I was interested to read this rationale Magda. I think my only interaction with Moe was indirect. I was reading back on posts earlier today and saw him call out Vincent for being a one post wonder. At the time I was also one and couldn't see why I'd escape scrutiny given I fit the exact same box. I responded to Vincent's reaction saying as much but that I wasn't putting too much weight on it at that moment.

More strangely, you said agreed with me about Moe at the time, and then you've voted for me for the same interaction.

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 agree.... Moe is suss.

[Robin the Jester]

i did not. i voted randomly, but avoiding william

What and why?

why not declare? no point cos i was voting randomly.

why vote randomly? cos its day 1 and nothing even remotely concrete to vote on.

why avoid william? cos there was a wagon on him that developed out of no where.

the point of the random vote is to vote someone at random who is in no danger of being lynched.

some people dont like the day 1 random vote, but i think its fine to do day 1.

[Moe the Innkeeper]

Have you not been reading the thread at all?

Why didnt you vote for me @Magda the Maid

At the risk of jumping to a players defence, I wouldnt be voting for Robin or throwing shade their way based solely off this vote

[Boris the Fool]

Wesley here on the Lieutenants Call-sign. 7-Lincoln-200 to all units. As you know, the Mayor is giving a talk to the Captain in the Roll-Call room, so you have all been voting on the fly. 

This reads to me that the Roll-Call room is potentially something that could be used for voting on thread at some point in the game. And the below post was from when the form was shared earlier.

7-Lincoln-200 to all units, Roll-Call room is unavailable for vote. Vote form now open

I'm lost ha

[Boris the Fool]

There is no auto priest. Not read op? Or follow thread?

Not a fan of the idea. If everyone did it, it gives very little to work with, and it feels a little wolfy to be able to dismiss their votes as “random”.

You can't ignore it either. Throwing shade is fine it helps form a wider picture. Random vote is OK it is what it is. But not declaring a vote is a bit off.

Seriously?? It is in the OP that the wolves find out the alignment of the dead and have been discussed at length on the thread!

[Moe the Innkeeper]

My final reads for now, both Friar and Moe are playing helpful villager role posting alot trying to get reads going etc, which makes me believe one is a villager and one is a wolf.

Friar's posts seem to be more informative so I'm leaning good for Friar and bad for Moe. That's all I have for today. I'm a little suss of Ina May but not enough posts from them to explore that any further for now.

Should be back on after 8pm.

Make it make sense?

Just we were in the middle of a discussion about votes declared or otherwise and when I looked at these posts again it seemed to me that if the Roll Call Room was available we might be voting on thread at some point. Or I could be reading too much into it

I guarantee you, for Robin,  its not off at all

[Countess Markievicz]

I'd agree with Jacob that until we know William's alignment there is not much wagonomics, and even then with 8 on William I'd question how useful knowing his alignment will be in that respect. At least we know we do get vote tallies though, so should make it easier to notice things if there are close vote races or voting manipulation.

Think it's why we need people declaring votes on thread time and who. I know it's helpful for wolves but it's Prob even more helpful for the rest of us to notice something wrong.

I agree with this, I know it's not a view held by everyone but I think if vote declaring means wolves need to manipulate or move then at least that can be surmised after the fact.

Ahhh yeah get you. Think voting on thread is rare apart from traitors game.

Dora not knowing about the wolf autopriest is bizarre, it has been discussed on numerous occasions.

I'd agree regarding Robin, but we have to be careful of disregarding the possibility that he is a wolf at all. Robin plays the same regardless of alignment.

[Countess Markievicz]

I am baffled that two people could not know about the wolf autopriest. Amy is relatively new player. Is Dora? It was explained a lot though so I don't even think that being new explains it. Either not reading the thread or pretending to not understand what is happening. It's almost too oblivious not to be real.

Oh yeah absolutely, if something else if off about them grand. Id just rather not waste the conversation being about that, when theres no need

Why do ye say this?

On the autoprist thing - I do find retaining details really difficult :-(  Just generally in life, but especially in these games. So I apologize for that. I'll try to find time tnrw to go back and take notes, not just mental notes

If you have questions about the roles just ask. Some people are better at dissecting things then others.

[Dora the Explorer]

I thought the autoprist was that their powers are only revealed after they die - or some of them. I said as much very early on in the thread.
I've not played a game with autoprist before.

[Friar Tuck]

Could semi- auto priest mean that only some of their powers are revealed after death?

No, it reads like the wolves have an autopriest until the wolf with power dies.

You even asked about it @Dora the Explorer.

[Lilly the Millennial]

It's metagaming which is frowned upon but you can recognise some posters by their posting style.

Now I see it. 


I also don't need the Robin thing explained either as I just read back pages 1 and 2 and saw the greeting ;-)

[Dora the Explorer]

Does anyone ever consider mimicing known playing styles just to mess with people's heads?

[Friar Tuck]

You even asked about it @Dora the Explorer.

Could it be a wolf trying to play the innocent?

It could, albeit a ridiculous play. The plan might have been to draw attention to themselves so we'd assume they couldn't be a wolf.


The fact that they've copped why we don't think Robin's play is odd suggests they've played enough to have coped the wolf autopriest mechanic though.

[Dora the Explorer]

Not if I've never played it before. Like I said.

[Countess Markievicz]

I will say somewhat in Dora's defence that they did seem to have a confused idea about what would happen when Monica died earlier in the thread. I recall something in a post about some of her powers being revealed when she dies. So it is consistent across the thread. Whether that consistency is genuine though or not I don't know.

Myself and Boots are heading home for the night. Ttyl

Yea they would have to have played a few games to recognise Robins greeting.

Anyone can get confused by a game mechanic but it’s has been discussed a lot on thread so there shouldn’t be confusion at this stage. I know Amy was confused too but this is only her 2nd game so easier to overlook than Dora who has played here a few times before

I agree, it just seems very over the top, so weird as a ploy. I will say from a meta point of view I can't think of anyone who would recognise Robin who was as ditzy as Dora, unless ithey are someone who hasn't played in years and I'm not familar with them.

[Weyland the Blacksmith]

Hi folks,

Dont know the theme at all. Op looks fairly interesting. An alpha and a wolf priest make this tough in my opinion. Potential conversion metric in play too

This post was part of why I voted for William 🙈🙈 As someone pointed out earlier, I got mixed up on who posted this. Apologies William

[Weyland the Blacksmith]

My opinion that they're wolf actions and the same responding officer aren't linked. I'm thinking though that it could have been the same player targeted

I don't see the logic in that. I think the mod flair for specific outcomes is already largely written and not tailored to specific characters.

Maybe it's nothing but I think it'll be worth checking to see what the responding officer number is whenever the next such action happens

What's your thoughts on the attempted kidnapping?
