The repair droids jumped into an escape pod and set course for a nearby wormhole into another dimension where repair droids get to sit on the beach and give each other congratulatory backrubs or something. To be honest I was kind of running out of things for them to do in the flavor text.
But the townspeople soldiered on, trying desperately to make sense of what in the world was going on in this game. Nettiebarron retired to the library. Some malicious force was guiding this entire voyage, she was sure of it. What she needed was an expensive cocktail and some time to sit down and sort this whole thing out. She had been in the library the past three nights, and it really felt like she was finally getting somewhere. Nettie read for a short while, until a thought struck her and she sprung from her chair to find the others…
Unfortunately, with the repair droids gone and no longer watching over her, a wolf could easily sneak up and devour her without giving even a hint of a warning.
violabeenice (wolf, shoved out an airlock, day 1)
todahshy (funny bone attack, night 1)
joepunman (villager, spooky’s terrible taste in beer, day 2)
kg2005 (villager, neglect, day 3)
spookymilk (lost a challenge, night 3)
codefox (wolf, no longer navigating, day 4)
Dread Pirate (NEUTRAL – WINNER!)
Colin Prime (NEUTRAL – WINNER!)
MelissaDiamondPhillips (NEUTRAL – WINNER!)
Royal Ape (NEUTRAL – WINNER!)
nettiebarron (lost in thought, night 5)
After all the deathless nights (and deathless days) there were three townspeople left, their ship was starting to fall apart and there was no means of repairing it. Would the villagers take the controls and steer themselves to the safety of a nearby habitable exoplanet? Or would the wolves rejoice as the good ship Leche disintegrated into nothingness, taking all the villagers with it? It would be up to these three to decide who will join the neutrals in winning this perfectly logical and easy to follow game of werewolf.

Okay so the gamer isn’t over and there’s only 1 wolf left.
But we only killed 2.
And we started with 4.
The entire game we’ve been thinking that 4 wolves in a 14 player game was a lot. I think we may have had a good wolf. I think that good wolf’s name was todahshy. I’m not sure what his abilities were or how he was supposed to help us, but he’s the only death besides spooky that had no reveal.
That being said, it’s kinda irrelevant now.
We had only one wolf left yesterday and that wolf was Ash. I’m not sure if the neutrals knew there was only one left. They probably legitimately thought there was 2 and that’s why Melissa was going so hard after me. She DID have other information and the no lynch crap was bullshit and Annette’s protection was bullshit. If we had lynched Ash, the game would have ended.
I feel a lot better about Melissa’s posts yesterday, given it’s clear she was just playing the game. No wonder I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone.
Anyway, i now know TDO is cleared and there’s only one wolf. TDO, my actions yesterday should make this obvious. Can we win now please?

As I remember mentioning yesterday, I’ve played with good wolves before. So it exists. Besides that, explain the wolf numbers to me, then.

Colin prime could have been a wolf who the neutral turned, couldnt he? That would make far more sense
June 24, 2016 at 8:52 am

I certainly thought about that, but the text from what DG posted mentioned nothing about turning a wolf into a neutral. It specifically said “random villager”
June 24, 2016 at 8:54 am

I know. Because I already confirmed that last night myself.
“…you will be able to recruit one random surviving villager to your cause.
Additionally, you have an angel power to perhaps help prevent death by night kill. Should you successfully save a villager, a random villager remaining in the game (not necessarily the player you saved) will be recruited to your cause.”

Heh. Well I mean I guess yay for not giving up. But I’m not sure much else needs to be said until TDO arrives. I hope it’s as clear to him as it is to me. If not, things will get interesting.
June 24, 2016 at 8:43 am
ash10101
I think we can all agree TDO is not evil, yes? I am definately not evil. Ink has proven himself to be distrustful, and his newest theory doesnt exactly make him look clean. So, vote ink come on TDO, we need to win.
June 24, 2016 at 8:46 am
Inkarnit
If you were Good you would have known right out of the gate that I was the Evil one. There’d be no need to hear my theories. There’d be no need to lament Annette’s passing. You would have simply known it was me. Hell, as the wolf you should have known to do that anyway. I wonder if you forgot that Annette cleared TDO.
June 24, 2016 at 8:47 am
ash10101
Your theories are INTERESTING, which is why I was intrigued to hear them
June 24, 2016 at 8:48 am

And yes, I know she cleared TDO. But, I didnt trust anything that happened especially with you somehow losing three of your fellow wolves when we only lynched two of them
June 24, 2016 at 8:51 am
Inkarnit
So if you’re not trusting anything that happened, why is TDO not the wolf?
June 24, 2016 at 8:53 am
ash10101
Because he has been very normal TDO to me. If hes a wolf, good on him, he deserves to win because he fooled us all somehow. The netural thing also makes more sense now, so I am willing to (mostly) agree that he is very likely my fellow villager
June 24, 2016 at 8:56 am
Inkarnit
If you’re throwing out the peek as invalid for some reason, then TDO shouldn’t be cleared. My hunting should clear me. Especially yesterday with the no lynch shenanigans. YOU were up for the lynch. YOU got out of the lynch by embracing the no lynch. YOU went from being math defeated to a final 3. YOU are the wolf.
June 24, 2016 at 8:58 am
ash10101
I voted the way I voted yesterday because it was that or be lynched, and I dont want to be lynched as a villager because that would be severely damaged to our numbers
June 24, 2016 at 9:00 am
Inkarnit
I was adamant to be lynched before a no lynch option. Had that happened, the neutrals would still be here and you would have nowhere to hide. I knew there was something fishy with the no lynch. I was concerned it was a neutral win steal, and it almost was.

Oh, hi. Ink is a wolf because he has proven, through preposterous theories throughout the game, that nothing he actually has said has been supported by evidence. He has spent a vast majority of this game “hunting” wolves, yet nothing he has done has ever yielded any surprising results. When he was under some pressure yesterday, he got fairly frantic and all-over. He has seemed a lot like a typical wolf ink
June 24, 2016 at 11:49 am
Inkarnit
Yep, gimme a few and I’ll give you a complete ash recap. But look at ash’s day 4 as classic wolf. Hell, look at his beginning of today too. Ash hasn’t done a bad job at being a wolf, but I think you can easily look at my yesterday and determine there’s no way I’m a wolf.
June 24, 2016 at 11:52 am

Only if you’re looking at the way it was portrayed by Melissa, who was a neutral trying to get a win, not a Good actually seeing a wolf. But sec, I’m doing an ash review right now.

Ash day 1:
First reaction to viola’s horrid post wasn’t anything about it being wolfy. It was “haha basically”. He also stays away from any of spooky’s comments about it being stagey.
Does ask viola why she’s placing a vote and is quick to point out that revenge voting is a bad thing. He then goes after viola with spooky pretty decently. But as I pointed out several times, viola was begging to be bussed by a fellow wolf. Everyone bussed her.
When I provided the tinfoil theory, ash’s only response was “ohhh true” because he saw a way to keep spooky in the conversation.
Makes the classic wolf excuse of saying exactly why he’ll be gone “hanging with girlfriend” and gets shit for it. I think I even defended it though. Vanishing at this point is good because viola has the heat and he needs to let it slough off and not overextend.
When he returns he brings Annette into the wolf conversation… but only because others had. He never had an original view on anyone.
He defends codefox from spooky’s attacks.
He feigns confusion and when spooky says he shouldn’t be he just says ok.
Mentions wanting to lynch KG simply for providing nothing, if not for the ratio being so bad.
Unvotes Royal to vote viola again, saying that “royal has been around now” even though he hadn’t. I questioned this. He was the only one voting viola at this time so it seemed safe.
I then poke at ash to participate with something meaningful, mentioning my willingness to eject him into space. Then I vote for him. He responds with some lame reads that point only to what everyone else has said. Royal notices it and calls it wishy-washy, voting ash also.
He even mentions how much I’m hunting and how villager I seem here:https://spookymilk.wordpress.com/2016/06/20/werewolf-xxxvi-wolves-in-space-day-one/#comment-74805
Yet now says I’m so wolfy from that day. Interesting.
Quickly agrees on a viola lynch in which spooky calls him out on it for being wolfy.
Day 1 ends with 8 people majority on viola. Ash is one of them. But then, so is codefox. And me. And 5 others.
Stay tuned for day 2.

Ash Day 2:
First comment about the events are that on the other forum we play on, immediately throwing another wolf under the bus is not advised. Yet he did just that. And gave himself the out right here. KG points that out.
Parrots the other opinions on viola pointing to a nettie wolf.
Defends spooky from joe because spooky is so obviously Good at this point and joe is an easy patsy. It’s also the only thing he comments on for hours.
Mentions Joe and Annette as most suspicious, with pressure okay on KG and Colin. All Goods.
Then he has a conversation with Annette where he says that voting another wolf to look good isn’t out of the question. Well yeah, that’s what you did.
Mentions TDO, Royal, and spooky as Good and hunting but then leaves room for “but Royal and spooky are really good at this so they could be faking”.
Votes Annette and leaves the possibility that he might vanish for some weird reason.
When I vote joe, he takes that as an opportunity and goes after him too. He unvotes Annette saying he “thinks” he believes her claim. KG points out the wording there.
When Royal puts ash in his reads list as wolfy, he responds that he’s not a wolf but does agree on joe being one and maybe could put codefox in that list but just isn’t seeing it.
Later mentions that he’s probably blind but is just not seeing codefox.
Opens up a door with Colin that he is going to read his game.
During me and spooky’s conversation about code, ash tries to get me to give code’s valid excuse before code can speak for himself.
Doubles down on joe.
Starts bussing codefox a bit now that spooky’s made his case, but not enough to actually vote there.
Makes the wolfy post about pun is most likely a wolf with codefox as a close second. It was pointed out later how this was classic wolf keeping another wolf high in the reads but not actually going there.
Comments twice about Royal not being around during end of day.

Ash Day 3:
Shows up to comment on spooky’s beer jokes.
Comments on Royal being missing at end of day.
Doesn’t show up again for a couple hours, right after Annette gives us codefox as a wolf. Votes codefox. Then he says he let himself get distracted by punman.
Disappears again for several hours because he was at a movie then responds to me asking for his take by asking who I want to lynch. I flip it to asking him who he wants to lynch and get no response.
Spooky and I discuss ash as bussing wolf where I point out that he’s getting practice elsewhere. Ash makes sure to point out that he’s sucked there.
I even go into all this about Ash at this point, looking for an alternate lynch since codefox wasn’t supposedly lynchable.
I point out that he’s been giving royal crap for not being around but then doing it himself. He says he only said something once and I point out 3 separate comments. I even go into why “glancing at the phone while girlfriend is in the bathroom” was a bad comment because he only made jokes posts with that time. Nothing of substance. Then he claims he was gonna comment on wanting to go after codefox but his phone ate the message…
Melissa shows up and asks what the plan is, to which ash says he believes it’s KG. I ask why, because ash hasn’t laid out anything about KG himself. He’s parroting again.
I finally force him to take a stand and he says it’s Colin P.
Spooky points out his weird comments about TDO which appear to be ash looking for a reason to keep TDO in the wolf pool without commiting to it.
Makes a wolfy vote on KG with “Hmm” in which spooky points it out.
Seems very concerned that we realize spooky’s unvote was after majority was hit. TDO mentions ash jumping up after all this and spooky agrees. Ash gets pretty defensive here.
June 24, 2016 at 12:37 pm

Ash Day 4:
“Awww, no we need spooky!” PLEASE
In fact, all his comments were so wolfy that I just started commenting “this is wolfy” on them all.
Says he doesn’t buy Colin P as neutral then is quick to agree with Royal that not killing DP was weird.
He votes for codefox with a “curse you wolf” comment which sounds so forced.
After Annette’s reveal on Royal being villager, he responds begging to lynch codefox. He goes hard at codefox because… wolf view duh.
I vote codefox and mention that ash is looking extra wolflike and his responses are also very fake. “Whaaaa”
He even responds to my stuff that he’s pretty sure I’m innocent. That I’m a good hunting villager. But now that’s all changed huh? TDO points out that ash is avoiding my question and then I point out that not only is he doing that but he’s trying to pocket me. I also point out how badly he’s skirting the question and prod him to provide more where he says TDO and Prime are the most guilty.
Again he comments later with a simple “I’m not a wolf” rather than with anything of substance.
He immediately assumes Colin’s neutral claim is a lie rather than a possible truth because he had already cleared me from the wolf pool and needed Colin as a patsy.
Finally he flips his opinion to me being a wolf now that Colin’s neutral claim is out there and I pointed out his inconsistencies.
Goes after TDO for his always a villager defense.
I ask multiple times for him to build a case on his new theory of TDO and Inkarnit as wolves and he never does.

Stacy opened her eyes. The Leche burned around her; wires hung from the ceiling sparking electricity and lights flickered on and off. What the hell had happened? The last thing she remembered was laughing at something hilarious DG had said and then feeling a great sense of boredom overtake her as the ship sailed on endlessly through the galaxy.
But now… everything was smoky, and through the haze she saw inkarnit and ash10101 circling each other, each snarling and looking like they wanted to kill each other. As she watched in horror, they fell on each other and tried to tear each other limb from limb. TDO, the space gorilla, stood by, waiting to declare a winner.
Ash rose from the fracas, holding the bloody shiv he had fashioned out of the small leftover fragment of todahshy’s funny bone. “One down.” He smiled, then turned and devoured TDO without much of a fight at all. Stacy tried to back away in horror, but Ash kept advancing. The ghosts of DG, codefox, and viola seemed to circle behind him, crowing triumphantly as the Leche fell to dust around them.

GAME NOTES
.
.
WIN SCENARIOS
————-
neutral – outnumber wolves and outnumber villagers
wolves – equal villagers+neutral
villagers – three dead wolves (not counting DG)
NIGHT 0
——-
1. I’m excited for the semi-newb wolf team we have for this game (ash10101, codefox, violabeenice). Of course, it could be a disaster, but that’s half the fun, right?
2. Annette as seer is interesting, because I doubt she’ll be killed early. Could be a problem for the wolves. Her night 0 peek is Dread Pirate, which just makes me angry because…
3. Dread Pirate is the neutral. I tried to hide him from the village and then the seer went and peeked him on the first night! Dammit. Anyway, I’m really excited about the neutral role (although I think it’s a nigh-impossible win condition) because it is based on Will’s own idea of the Rodents of Unusual Size from The Princess Bride werewolf game. Kind of cool that Will gets to be the one to play it.
He’s trying to engineer tie votes, and he also has the angel power. For every tie vote or angel save he gets another player on his side. If the neutrals outnumber the other two factions, neutrals win.
4. spooky and kg both email me to complain about being a villager again. random.org is a cruel mistress. TDO enters late replacing … a vanillager.
5. My biggest concern is that the village wins handily without killing off the neutrals, because then technically the neutrals haven’t lost, but there’s no mechanism for the game to really end. It’s a flaw that I see before the game starts, but I’m going to ruminate during the early days about how exactly to let the game go on. This is part of the reason for my “lie” in the intro post about there being 4 wolves. Gives me an excuse to prolong the game if needed.
DAY 1
————-
6. I’m going to be driving for most of the early bits, so I’m going to miss the fun part of the game.
7. (6:00 PM) holy hell, there was no fun part. The village came out firing and a lot of their targets are wolves. Ash10101 and viola found themselves in trouble, both for kind of textbook wolf tendencies. Codefox is doing an admirable job of staying away although he pushes Annette in favor of Viola pretty directly, which may or may not come back around.
8. Annette raises the idea of a neutral (since she knows there is one, this makes sense). Unfortunately, people take the mod at face value – always dangerous.
9. TDO wins best avatar. Fan-tastic
10. 7:07 on day 1, todahshy puts all three wolves as the top three on his wolf list. This could be bad for the wolves. Of course he also titles his list as “way to early” and “laughable to look back on”, so there’s that. He also puts annette way down on his list, running counter to a fair bit of the village.
11. Reading back through day 1, Annette makes the following comment – “I have a wicked medium headache” – medium=seer? and codefox follows that up with “I’m not sure what you just said here…” so perhaps the wolves find the seer before any damage is done?
12. Here we are 1.5 hours from the deadline and only one vote is on a wolf (put there by another wolf – ash on viola). I don’t think this will give them much of a reprieve in the coming days, but the push on Royal Ape could have staying power, as people were just dealing with quiet wolves in the last game. (night edit – Nope.)
13. Ashton and Inkarnit go back and forth for a while. I think Ash’s general demeanor might get him off the block because he’s kind of hard to get a read on. (later edit – I was right, this was well-argued by Ashton dropping him on a couple of lists)
14. Also people discuss missing players as is required on day 1. The wolves have been more or less present, which might save them if these arguments gain traction.
15. There are 8 people with 1 or 2 votes and no one with more. There is a half hour to go to nightfall. Dread Pirate has got this tie vote in the bag. (later edit – ha!)
16. (8:45) Viola is in the lead with the other two of her wolfpack accounting for 2/3rds of the vote. Most interesting.
17. The village comes to a consensus and reaches a majority on the first day! This is bad for the Pirate, and I wonder if I shouldn’t have started him off with a partner. Maybe next time. For now, sorry Will.
NIGHT 1
——-
18. Annette peeks Melissa, Pirate protects Spooky. Hard to argue with either of those picks. Melissa will be alive tomorrow and probably will survive until Annette reveals.
19. The wolves kill todahshy. Again, not a bad move. Not much else to say as I didn’t see much night talk except for spooky and inkarnit both worrying to me that they are to be killed.
DAY 2
——-
20. I didn’t update these all day, but there’s a fair bit.
21. codefox is on spooky’s radar, which is a scary place to be. Spooky is reading pretty well right now and Royal Ape is also consistently good on reads. The village is in a very good place.
22. Annette gets some heat in the middle of the day and claims early. Good to get it out there, although I do wonder if the push on her was going to evaporate or not. We’ll never know now.
23. The seer reveals the neutral role and several conclude that the villagers are one more short. It’s actually the wolves that are one less than advertised, which may make this a short game. Except…
24. Ashton is off everybody’s radar (except kg who votes for him and is quickly rebuked by spooky). He could run for a while as a lone wolf if forced to.
25. Once again, it’s two hours until night, and I’m excited for Pirate’s chances. A tie vote isn’t impossible at this point and the angel save is going to be nail-biting stuff. This game has been exciting and most everyone has been engaged. I’m enjoying it, if nothing else.
26. TDO points out that “every day the seer survives is a loss for the wolves.” Exactly. The seer has to die.
27. There was some discussion about who benefits from hiding the roles. Mostly that was done to benefit the neutral, although you could argue both ways, I think. The wolves don’t know what’s arrayed against them as far as powers go (not much). And the village doesn’t know what powers the wolves have (none). It makes for an interesting psychological game.
28. What’s interesting is that there may come a point where the neutral doesn’t want to help the village any more with an angel save. The village numbers are the biggest obstacle for Pirate right now, but I think the need to recruit outweighs that on day 2. On day 4 or 5? that will be a decision.
29. Spooky comments that kg and code have been sitting on three votes with no pile on. Right after that ash comes in and votes for neither of them with the day 1 reasoning of “I want to hear more from him”. This is the power of being off the radar. If ash had any suspicion on him, this would flip triggers. Instead I bet it passes unremarked upon.
30. Spooky is HOUNDING codefox. Which is what spooky does, and codefox is a wolf, so good on spooky, but he is relentless.
31. If Pirate is around, he’s got to be sweating this a little bit. 3-3-2 are the votes, but the momentum clearly pushing a codefox runaway soon. How does someone build a case for punman or kg at this point and not get called out for distracting from codefox?
32. Melissa is cleared as a villager here, but mostly spending her limited time joke-feuding with inkarnit. I don’t know what the angel-save, wolf-kill dynamic is going to be tonight, but boy I would feel like I was wasting a kill if I were a wolf targeting her.
33. A sudden silence falls on the village as the deadline nears. I swear to God, if Pirate steals this into a tie, I am going to celebrate like no other.
34. Joe pops in to say he can’t pop in. No comment.
35. Oh man, I’m dying for Pirate here. Over/under on how many f5 hits he’s had in the last 10 minutes?
35. Hoo-boy, the village after being all over codefox for quite a while and not really getting a good reason to jump off him, decide to jump on a silent punman instead. I, um, don’t know about this. Spooky is already kicking himself before I post the reveal.
36. I just want to say that this was crazy exciting for Pirate, todah, and I watching the votes move toward and away from the tie.
NIGHT 2
——-
37. Pirate immediately protects Annette. He’s got to get a convert here.
38. Annette immediately peeks codefox. So now Pirate may be hastening the wolves demise while at the same time getting a foothold in the game at the same time.
39. And the wolves target Annette. Boom! We’ve got ourselves a neutral team. No kill, but the village still loses a player.
40. Colin Prime is the new neutral. That’s an interesting random choice, he’s got some heat, so not likely to die by wolf, but might have to fight to survive some votes.
41. Current numbers are 2 wolves, 7 villagers, 2 neutral. Codefox will die tomorrow and Annette will die at night, so day 4 will be 1-6-2. So a tie vote and a villager overtime death on day 4 means it would get really close to a neutral win.
DAY 3
——–
42. So ignore that last point all together. Pirate has blown everything up with his “reveal” of some pretty convenient powers. Annette revealed codefox as a wolf (of course), but the village never really reacted to that (because….?).
43. So instead Pirate gets to come in and blow up the entire day (and maybe the night kill as well). I love it. Love it! An antagonistic neutral (to both wolf and villager) is the absolute most fun.
44. Pirate even put in a way to ensure a tiebreaker in his post and yet the village has ignored it so far. “The other couldn’t die during the day while I’m still alive (unless in a tiebreaker).” So the village, if they believe Pirate, should tiebreak codefox and someone else (although this is tough with codefox having a vote) and then kill codefox.
45. So if this wasn’t clear by this point in the notes, I’m all-in on hoping that Pirate and the neutrals win this thing.
46. Not revealing roles or giving out much information at all has really allowed lots of people to get creative. If I may pat myself on the back here, I think this is working out spectacularly so far.
47. The other consequence of all this is that codefox is now a wolf playing as a wolf who won’t be touched. That guy is living my dream!
48. Inkarnit – “we need to do some heavy math here” – then proceeds to do some simple subtraction. I know what he meant, but that was an easy target.
49. Melissa jokes that there are two neutrals. Hilarious.
50. Regarding the question of whether to lynch Pirate or not (assuming you believe his reveal). I think you leave him alive and get as many Annette peeks as you can, right? Lynching Pirate is essentially killing Annette, which seems like a non-starter. Codefox isn’t going to get any less wolfy if he stays alive.
51. The village kills kg, which is whatever, but the fact that they just ignored Pirate’s hint to go for a tie is … weird.
NIGHT 3
——-
52. Hey, the Pirate gamble worked. The wolves kill spooky, which is probably not a bad idea, but who does Pirate protect?
53. He protects Melissa, but agonizes over it. No recruits tonight.
54. Annette peeks Ape, clearing him.
55. Apparently Colin didn’t read his email, so now he has and is aware that he’s a neutral. That’s good.
DAY 4
——
56. The village takes a while to kill codefox, but gets there eventually.
57. Colin comes out strong as a neutral which I can understand being skeptical of, but with a clear target, that’ll skate by just fine.
58. The drama tonight comes down to whether Pirate gets a save. If he does, I think the neutrals are set. I also don’t really see how the wolves avoid it. They have to take a shot at Annette, she can’t keep getting peeks, but the angel is obviously going there as well.
59. Codefox is dead. Ash gets the unenviable job of being a lone wolf.
NIGHT 4
——–
60. Game: neutrals – Pirate protects Annette and Ash can’t do anything but take his shot. No dice and now Melissa is a neutral.
61. Annette, who will survive to reveal this peek, peeks TDO.
DAY 5
——
62. I could call this for neutrals, but … I guess it has to play out.
63. I feel bad for inkarnit. He has actually mostly figured this out (except that there’s only one wolf left) and still he is being stonewalled by a bunch of antagonistic neutrals.
64. Ash will have to switch to vote with the neutrals to force a tie to survive which will make the neutrals win and then probably kill ash in overtime. I think this ends tonight.
65. Now hold the phone, Annette unvotes. Hoo boy, this could get weird(er).
66. Colin – “SPOOKY IS DEAD????” This is why neutrals are fun.
67. Seriously, the villagers are one vote away from ending the game. They would have won this if they had just killed codefox when the seer pointed him out. Great game, Pirate.
68. Melissa might just reveal that the number of neutrals is growing. I think this would be a mistake.
69. 2500 comments over 5 days. Solid game of werewolf.
70. I’m worried that Colin is going to be stuck in traffic forever. Or he’s posting on his phone while driving. Neither is good.
71. Not much to say… I think it’s inevitable. But man, I haven’t predicted anything right in this game. (night edit – see?)
72. OK, here’s something. Colin’s argument for nettie to vote no lynch makes less than zero sense. The village is dead-on right. Just stick it out, villagers.
73. If Pirate votes no lynch this is over. So….
74. OK, I owe inkarnit and nettie a drink for this aggravation. That’s only fair.
75. There it is. Pirate votes.
76. No, Annette! There is no reason to vote no lynch. Please, don’t!
77. So.
NIGHT 5
——-
78. Ash will kill nettie when he wakes up. Nettie peeks inkarnit to find that he is also a villager.
79. Inkarnit works his way through the entire game trying to find the fourth wolf. This poor poor man.
80. Day 6 will come down to TDO picking between inkarnit and ash10101. There’s nothing more for the mod to say, so I’ll hang up and listen.
——-
I loved moderating this game. People were active for the most part. There were some great reads, especially early on. The neutrals weakened the wolves AND the village and got some quality trolling going on. I really liked that the neutrals worked as a punishment for the village for not pushing to kill wolves. Pirate (and others, but mostly Pirate) played it so that the role played right into the village’s worst tendencies. It came down to a final day and I got to drop some amazingly fun reveals. Thanks to everyone for playing, and I hope all the players had half as much fun as I did.
Interested to hear what people thought of the neutrals and how the game played out.

Also absolutely irrelevant to the village’s task.
June 24, 2016 at 1:18 pm
kg2005
But not at all irrelevant. Each miss a village gets is another piece of their ammo. A smart village will use that ammo in a strategic manner.
June 24, 2016 at 1:28 pm
daneekasghost
By killing villagers? By voting no lynch?
None of those things are good for the village. The point of the neutral was to try and punish the village for not voting wolves.
June 24, 2016 at 1:18 pm
kg2005
In this case it was irrelevant because the village allowed a no-lynch. Sigh.
June 24, 2016 at 1:25 pm

I agree. We need to know the actual makeup of evils OR have no idea. Not be misled into it.

I just could not bear the thought of a tie last night. I knew that no lynch made no sense but the thought of listening to Ink and Melissa again took all the starch out of me.

What did you think a no lynch would accomplish??
June 24, 2016 at 1:21 pm

I hoped nothing. But yeah, I definitely should have stuck to my guns. But Colin . . . he was so . . . hypnotic.
June 24, 2016 at 1:22 pm
Inkarnit
Right? I pointed this out ad nauseum. Even asking for the lynch instead. I couldn’t believe the no lynch pundits. Appears there was no reason for it and Annette just buckled to the pressure of Melissa, Colin and DP.
June 24, 2016 at 1:24 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
I almost decided to try and advocate a purposeful villager kill just to drive you more insane. “I dunno guys. I’m pretty sure TDO is a wolf.”
June 24, 2016 at 1:25 pm

Oh well. I do feel a lot better about your stupidity now though.

Rivet suggested the same to me after I died and I didn’t really see it. Of course, I didn’t yet know what the neutral condition was, and how he was playing it so well.

todahshy
He was a super star!
June 24, 2016 at 2:43 pm
Inkarnit
I suggested it to DG too, but when I did it was because I thought I had figured out that he was angel hiding behind a neutral seer peek. But in the end, that suggestion stuck. He definitely won this game.
June 24, 2016 at 2:37 pm
todahshy
It was a pleasure to watch you in action and get to share in your joy somewhat!
June 24, 2016 at 1:22 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
I was enjoying mostly causing Wolfson trouble, but this only got better in Day 4 when I thought there was two wolves because then I felt 100% sure on Wolfson and could cause him more angst. Then I got to be neutral, and all hell broke loose. Seeing Wolfson’s complete loss of control was amazing. “WHY IS EVERYONE BEING STUPID?!?” That was basically his sentiment and it was great.
June 24, 2016 at 1:23 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
My happiness will be fueled on his angst for weeks.
June 24, 2016 at 1:25 pm
The Dread Pirate
I loved when he suggested lynching you.
June 24, 2016 at 1:27 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
It was definitely a highlight.
June 24, 2016 at 1:24 pm
Inkarnit
It was great. And it was absolutely correct. Everyone was being stupid because most of you were neutral, though. And the rest were assuming, like me, that there were 2 wolves left. If only one left, I would have made my argument for Ash as last wolf and left Colin as “Must be a wolf” out of it. Because then I could buy his neutral argument. But the neutral claim fell apart for me because I “knew” there were 2 wolves left.
June 24, 2016 at 1:26 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
I would absolutely have advocated Ash earlier if I’d thought there was one wolf left. He just didn’t seem to be doing much so I was advocating hard on YOU because I wanted the more dangerous potential wolf out. Then I had to abruptly stop advocating because neutral status meant I couldn’t have you voted out.
June 24, 2016 at 1:27 pm
The Dread Pirate
For the longest time, you were arguing with just neutrals last night. I’m pretty sure they drove you completely insane.
So much F5’ing, and not chiming in when I wanted to just to allow more ambiguity and confusion.
June 24, 2016 at 1:24 pm
The Dread Pirate
Both when Colin made his fake seer post and his Spooky is dead?!?! post, I laughed for at least five minutes.

I didnt even care that my fellow wolf got outed because he was so freaking hilarious

Thanks guys, that was seriously fun for me getting a chance to just be goofy for a day.
June 24, 2016 at 2:35 pm

You were SUPER entertaining. I kept checking to see what funny comment you would make next. From a wolf’s perspective, that was amazing and I’m sure it will be a long time before a wolf gets to enjoy a day like that one again. DP is a genius for giving you that opportunity. Thank you both for great entertainment.
June 24, 2016 at 2:41 pm
todahshy
You were brilliant!
June 24, 2016 at 1:29 pm

Nettie, I didn’t quite understand the game mechanics, too. I thought it would end last night, so I wasn’t intentionally lying when I said you wouldn’t be a wolf kill overnight.
June 24, 2016 at 1:29 pm
ash10101
Ahhh I was wondering why you said that. And then almost psyched myself out of killing her
June 24, 2016 at 1:30 pm

I admit to an absurd sense of betrayal.
June 24, 2016 at 1:32 pm

Which is exactly the question I asked you heh

I mean, like verbatim even.

I hadn’t answered your questions all game. Why start then?
June 24, 2016 at 1:39 pm
Inkarnit
Good point.
June 24, 2016 at 2:10 pm
daneekasghost
So, it could have ended last night. In fact, that was kind of what I had originally planned. But the neutrals won faster than I had ever imagined and it set up a three player final day, so I let it go.
June 24, 2016 at 1:30 pm
codefox
My thoughts! This game was hilarious. The activity level definitely put this one over the top. If this was a quiet game it wouldn’t have been nearly so entertaining. I think Brooks deserves some kudos for a well thought out game.
I will say I think that the game would have played about the same if the correct number of wolves had been given at the start of the game and no other information.
June 24, 2016 at 1:31 pm
codefox
Also, I was laughing so hard through most of this game (Wednesday was about as much fun as I’ve had posting comments on the internet in well, years… 😉 )
June 24, 2016 at 1:33 pm
Inkarnit
I disagree. If I had known there was one wolf left it would have been a far different thing and I wouldn’t have had TDO at the end as the only one to consider things.
June 24, 2016 at 1:49 pm
codefox
Yeah, I think that misinformation helped the wolves more than anyone else to be honest because it caused so much confusion.
We didn’t know either though. I seriously thought there was a lone wolf. I thought you were that wolf from day 1 until I died 😉
June 24, 2016 at 1:51 pm
kg2005
That is kind of hilarious. We’ve never used that mechanic.
June 24, 2016 at 2:11 pm
daneekasghost
The village kept trying to play the mechanics of the game instead of just playing the game.
That’s what I wanted the village to do, to find wolves and kill them, not try to math/special role their way into a win.
That’s why there was only a seer and a neutral angel in the game. 9 vanilla villagers, 3 vanilla wolves.
June 24, 2016 at 2:14 pm
Inkarnit
Yeah I get that. But I’d rather not be misled by mechanics and just simply NOT HAVE the mechanics. It could have been simply “there are 14 players in this game, GO”
There’s nothing wrong with a hidden role, limited reveal game. It’s just the mod misleading I dislike.
June 24, 2016 at 2:27 pm
daneekasghost
So why did you assume that the neutral came out of the villager count?
If I said 4 wolves and 10 villagers and then nettie says there’s a neutral, why does that mean 9 villagers?
June 24, 2016 at 2:28 pm
Inkarnit
Well, I DID start to argue a possible neutral wolf… I was shot down with this as a preposterous idea.
June 24, 2016 at 2:29 pm
Inkarnit
Multiple people, actually, laughed it off as ridiculous and far-fetched.
June 24, 2016 at 2:29 pm
daneekasghost
neutral wolf is a meaningless phrase.
June 24, 2016 at 2:31 pm
Inkarnit
You said 4 + 10. We had 14. There was literally no reason for anyone to assume it was actually 15 with you as the n0. And you know this. You did it on purpose. And that’s fine. I don’t agree with the misleading part of it but we didn’t really lose because of that. It would have altered the path many took though.
June 24, 2016 at 2:32 pm
Inkarnit
I then threw out the Good wolf option. Which isn’t meaningless when you’ve seen it in games before. It’s just not something we do here. But then, we don’t do what you just did here either so… how far out there is it after all?
June 24, 2016 at 3:03 pm
daneekasghost
My last words on the misdirection.
The goal of the misdirection was to hide the neutral. Was it necessary? Probably not. Did it change the gameplay here? … I don’t see where it did. You don’t like it, I understand that.
Separate discussion.
Does introducing a Good Wolf role make any sense when no one is told anything about roles? That just seems like it would be sadistic and unkind on the part of the mod. I know people are throwing out theories in the game and don’t have enough information to make perfectly logical choices, but in a game where this much information is withheld I think it would be unfair to ask the village to solve something like a good wolf or unreliable peeks and such. It was hard for me not to jump in when people suggested this and point out that I was trying to make a fair game, not just a twisted mindfuck of a game.
June 24, 2016 at 1:31 pm

I hated being cannon fodder that first day. I’m just glad that it didn’t get anyone looking too hard at my fellow pack members.

June 24, 2016 at 3:05 pm
daneekasghost
My favorite thing about your day 1 was that both you and ash managed to interact just enough and throw just enough at each other to make some people doubt him as a wolf later on.
It was a pretty perceptive group of villagers though, you were in a tough spot pretty quick.
June 24, 2016 at 4:17 pm
violabeenice
Ya, I pretty much knew by mid day that I was going to be lynched and I kept reading back at my posts to make sure that I hadn’t messed up for my fellow wolves. Spooky is really “spooky” and I thought that if I made it to day 2 that I was going to ask the CF and Ash if they thought that he was the 4th wolf. He picked us out one by one on that first day. SCARY GOOD!!!
June 24, 2016 at 1:33 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
I actually appreciated the slight of hand around the wolves and the choice not to reveal roles upon death. I think it made the game harder but significantly more engaging.

Also, can we stop calling wolves Evil? How did that become a thing?
June 24, 2016 at 1:37 pm
kg2005
Yeah, the wolves are good from their point of view.
June 24, 2016 at 1:38 pm
Inkarnit
Because the Evil team sometimes consists of Wolves and sometimes consists of other roles to help them. So Evil v Good are the teams. But Evil and Wolf are pretty interchangeable in general.
June 24, 2016 at 1:40 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
I vote to remove the superfluous jargon in general.
June 24, 2016 at 1:41 pm

No one forces you to use it. But you aren’t forcing me to stop using it either.

In a way she is, if she forces you to explain what you mean every time.
June 24, 2016 at 1:42 pm
Inkarnit
I only explain once. Then I just ignore.

It’s NOT good vs. evil. It’s wolves vs. village. I don’t like the religious connotations of “evil.” Also, I’m an advocate for wolves in real life, so . . . pretty please?

We should just play mafia.

I screwed up. I seriously couldn’t decide between karn or ash. What did it for me was how karn kept coming at me as a wolf in the most illogical sense on day 5 (or 4?) I’d it wasn’t for that i would have went ash.
June 24, 2016 at 1:46 pm
kg2005
You gotta take those blinders off. People thinking that you’re a wolf doesn’t make them a wolf.
June 24, 2016 at 1:51 pm
Inkarnit
It wasn’t illogical. I was coming at you because I thought there were 2 wolves and knew it wasn’t me. But once Annette cleared you I had to reconsider the scenarios. I asked you to ask me questions. You didn’t.
June 24, 2016 at 1:54 pm
Inkarnit
Also, wtf? Ash thought you were a wolf too and made a case for it. I just put you in my wolf pool.
June 24, 2016 at 1:55 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
You simply ACT like a wolf. You’re condescending, insulting, holier-than-thou, and tend to punctuate ever interaction with an unspoken eye roll. You need to shadow Colin Prime a while and learn how to charm the pants off people.
June 24, 2016 at 1:56 pm
Inkarnit
You don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re dumb. I’m so much better than you at everything, GOSH.
Did I encompass all of that there?
June 24, 2016 at 1:57 pm
Inkarnit
Seriously though, I really don’t think I looked like a wolf in this game, really at all. From what I can tell, you’re the ONLY ONE who felt that strongly about it. Not even TDO felt strongly about it like you did.
June 24, 2016 at 1:58 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
I only felt strongly at the end and was floored at how hard you were fighting considering there were two wolves left and only two non-claimed people.
June 24, 2016 at 1:59 pm
Inkarnit
I was fighting hard because your arguments were inane and retarded! I wanted to punch myself in the nuts. And flip a table. And strangle you.
June 24, 2016 at 2:00 pm
spookymilk
Spending the opening of day four saying “This is wolfy” on every one of Ash’s posts probably didn’t help. There were times it just looked so, so much like desperation. That couldn’t have helped.
June 24, 2016 at 2:10 pm
Inkarnit
I thought it was so clear and obvious though. And at the time wasn’t concerned about being a mislynch because we had numbers.
June 24, 2016 at 2:03 pm
ash10101
I forgot that I should have used that
June 24, 2016 at 2:04 pm

Karn, you SHOULD stop punching yourself in the nuts. Stop using the word “retarded” as an insult.
June 24, 2016 at 2:11 pm

I’ll use whichever words I want.
June 24, 2016 at 2:20 pm

lol, I actually thought you were our 4th wolf though from Day 1. I made the comment several times over the week

No, Inkarnit, you won’t. Don’t use that here.
June 24, 2016 at 1:45 pm

I’m very happy that neutrals absorbed me considering I brought up the no lynch plan to begin with.
I did consider possibility of neutral being some sort of “blob” mechanic but the second neutral claim through me for a massive loop.
Good game!

I hope this insanity doesn’t discourage you from returning.
June 24, 2016 at 1:48 pm

Nah, you all seem pretty cool. The format of the site is the biggest draw back – but you all could come play at our place… 🙂
Ink knows where to find me if you need a random player again though.
June 24, 2016 at 1:52 pm
Inkarnit
I do!
Yeah, the format here is all I knew until BGG. And then I was wowed.

Yes, that’s where I met Royal.

FWIW, I think Mafia Universe has the best “tech” for online WW – but I like the smaller community at BGG.

If I play at your place, was is the percent likelihood I have to play with Wolfson?
June 24, 2016 at 1:55 pm

Way way less than if you play here. I play almost every game here. I only play 1/15th of the games there… if that.
June 24, 2016 at 2:12 pm

I prefer this format haha

Also, I went back and studied my own game after I died. I determined that I didn’t really do much wrong on day 1 that I could see…only spooky suspected me really seriously from what I could tell.
Spooky, you’re just a good hunter!
June 24, 2016 at 2:02 pm
spookymilk
You don’t see it, even now?! Good news for me!
But seriously, good game. It’s always fun to bat someone around when they understand the game and why I have to do it.
June 24, 2016 at 2:05 pm
codefox
Day 2 I don’t think I did so hot…it’s always tough under pressure to come up with good answers and Tuesday was a mentally draining day at work so I was just not quite as sharp as I wanted to be. And I really was away packing. But day 1, at least I didn’t think was terrible but I know you definitely saw something because you were dead sure. I just don’t think really anyone else saw it so I’m not too worried.
And yeah, what’s the fun of this if you can’t go back and forth? That’s the whole point!
June 24, 2016 at 2:12 pm

Spooky you ROCKED sorry about eating you

I never get three days to hunt. If anything, I should be thanking you.
June 24, 2016 at 2:16 pm

I love that you spent two days hounding codefox only to chicken out on pulling the trigger.

Uhhhhhhhh….. I take offense to this. Had I survived I was going all in on you. In some ways I thought you were more obvious than Viola (well not really)
June 24, 2016 at 2:48 pm

Oh, well, yes…you were so dead on with your call of who the wolves were that you had to die 😉
June 24, 2016 at 2:52 pm
todahshy
I was so stunned I was night killed over Spooky. Then when I saw who the wolves were and there was no vet and Brooks pointed out my list I understood. Still you guys should have killed Spooky first!
June 24, 2016 at 2:53 pm
codefox
Not that we knew, but if we had, spooky was protected that night. And it worked out!
June 24, 2016 at 4:07 pm

Hey!!! I resemble that remark.
June 24, 2016 at 2:14 pm

I still can’t believe I kept an outed seer alive for three extra days and an outed wolf alive. Surely, I thought, someone is going to call my bluff.
June 24, 2016 at 2:15 pm
Inkarnit
I actually entirely missed you saying we could end it in a tie and then kill him. I would have definitely suggested doing that.
June 24, 2016 at 2:17 pm
codefox
I wasn’t sure if that was a real power or not that was keeping me alive but I knew there was no way the win condition made any sense so I knew something weird was up.
June 24, 2016 at 2:19 pm
kg2005
If codefox thought that he couldn’t be day killed, then he could have thrown off any of our attempts to force a tie. We thought he couldn’t be day killed, so if he jumped off a vote and forced himself to be the leading vote getter, it wouldn’t have worked. Of course that would have worked in the villages favor, but we didn’t know that at the time.
June 24, 2016 at 2:24 pm
codefox
I was hovering around to do exactly those sorts of things. I had wanted to vote to kill you before ash did to cover him even better but he beat me to it.
June 24, 2016 at 2:17 pm
kg2005
That’s the thing though, we weren’t in any position to question you. We thought there were still three more wolves so we couldn’t make that extra mistake. Then you posed a solution where the only way for the village to win was to kill you, so why wouldn’t we trust it?
June 24, 2016 at 2:22 pm
Inkarnit
Right. This. The misleading number of wolves in play was a factor.
June 24, 2016 at 2:24 pm
daneekasghost
I think in this game, people gave the neutrals too much credit as if they were just special villagers and not a separate entity with different goals.
June 24, 2016 at 2:26 pm
kg2005
That’s very true and as it turns out we were wrong to do that. Hard to predict at the time.
June 24, 2016 at 2:27 pm
Inkarnit
Well, the fact that the neutrals were saving our Seer helped with that too lol
June 24, 2016 at 2:28 pm
daneekasghost
But they were stealing your numbers every time that worked.
A little give, a little take.
June 24, 2016 at 2:30 pm
Inkarnit
Right. But we didn’t know that. Though I suspected shenanigans near the end. Which is why I asked Will about his promise being because the game would be over and the neutrals stealing a win. I was RIGHT. Except that the game didn’t quite end, though they thought it would.
June 24, 2016 at 2:51 pm
daneekasghost
Right. But we didn’t know that.
which is my point. The villagers thought of the neutrals as special villagers, they didn’t think of them as having a separate goal or being neutral.
Nobody looked back through DP’s game to see what he was trying to accomplish (he straight up asked for a tie on day 2 – he strongly implied that a tie on day 3 was the way to go). Everyone just accepted that DP was saving the seer and hey, isn’t that great for us!
June 24, 2016 at 2:53 pm
daneekasghost
And you were right. You essentially had the game figured out late on day 5.
June 24, 2016 at 2:33 pm

It’s not like I hid that I was screwing over both villagers and wolves.
June 24, 2016 at 2:18 pm

good game all. most fun I’ve had on WW for a long time.
glad the traffic was so bad I could continue to play!
Also I got to piss KG off for being wrong about me AGAIN

Again? Pretty sure this is the first time. Ever.
June 24, 2016 at 2:20 pm

In fact, I don’t even remember being wrong about you this time. I’m never wrong about you.
June 24, 2016 at 2:21 pm

Wait, what are we talking about?
June 24, 2016 at 2:50 pm
todahshy
This was an absolute BLAST to watch. Great job by everyone. Plus I can just claim that I knew who all 3 wolves were on day 1 and make fun of you all 😛
I still don’t get how TDO picked Inkarnit over Ash after the last two days. Before that I could see Inkarnit being wolfy. but yesterday he was so obvious villager it has to absolve him. Ash was so horrible over the kg kill (knowing exactly his vote totals when he plays so ambivalent every other moment of the game) and the glee when KG was jailed just screamed obvious wolf. Spooky saw it but know one was willing to follow his lead after he was dead. Shame, I really thought the village should have had this at that point.
Between DP, codefox, Colin and Melissa yesterday I was thoroughly entertained!
June 24, 2016 at 3:05 pm
spookymilk
“Hmm. I think I’ll vote kg” is right up there with the worst votes of all time. To that point I had Ash as a villager because of contact with Viola, but everything changed then. But I became dead, so I didn’t look back at anything. Plus, I thought there were two wolves and it was messing with my mind.
