Congrats on the dissertation stuff, RT!
However, I think you might have lost track of day & night slightly…
That line seems more appropriate to a night-time lunching than a daytime lynching. Wasn’t the dogs as killed the Kat… not entirely at least.
It was the masons. (Maybe they dropped a brick on the kitty?)
EDITED: In fact, reviewing the vote count, it was the ‘confirmed townie’ vote block who lynched Kat. No wolves at all in that list… at least, apparently not.
Ah, but it isn’t just the Masons and townies voting in the day - the wolves do too. I meant that perhaps we might expect the wolves to go soft on Kat, and perhaps vote for Captain Carrot, whom they’d probably prefer not to eat. And thanks. 
I shall be grinning like a loon for quite a while yet.
Just a hypothetical, i’m afraid. Not a slipup. 
And another Townie bites the dust. Are the wolves actually going to pull off an upset?
humming a heavenly Dar Williams song…
I don’t think they will. There’s a 50/50 chance now that the last werewolf get lynched “tomorrow”, and even if another townie gets lynched, they’ll still outnumber the werewolf the following day.
Perhaps someone can calculate the “luck” factors involved in this game.
There should have been a 25% chance or so on the initial turn for the wolves to kill a “role playing” townie on the first night.
There should have been a 5% chance (or so) of killing the Alpha wolf on day one.
I guess it goes to show that stats, don’t predict reality every time.
Town wins for this game. There is no way around it.
I’m not happy with the way that I played, much of the loss can be blamed on me.
Thing is, it’s not a matter of luck, really. No one’s flipping a coin or throwing darts at a board. The posting in the thread gives us information, and that makes it a game of skill, not luck. I was fairly confident that Menocchio was scum. No way of knowing that he was specifically the alpha, of course, that was just gravy.
But it’s far from random.
So is it just me, or do the remaining players seem to have totally lost interest? I understand why they would have too, but it is a shame that everything has just…ended before the game is even over. Is this common in internet versions of the game, players just lose interest as the end draws near?
I think the remaining townies are somewhat interested, but bored at having to wait for the big bad wolf to decide who he’s going to bump off. 
It’s mathematically impossible for the werewolves to win at this point. There’s no challenge at this point, and it’s hard to get excited about whether the wolves lose today or the day after that.
I totally get that. So if it an impossibility for the wolves to win, why not end the game? We know that the game would have ended if it became an imposibility for the townies to win, so why not the wolves? At this point is does seem a bit like beating a dead horse.
I would say it’s practically impossible. The mathematics do not say that the confirmed townies won’t start lynching each other and ignoring the remaining suspect players… however practical considerations make that exceedingly unlikely.
That’s a pretty good point, actually. I’ll stick a question in the thread asking what people think.
so, this is the forbidden thread. Strange, somehow I thought it would be… bigger
So, is someone going to take over the Narrator role for RT? And ask the mods if we can play again?
I can’t wait, that was such a fun game to read.
FTR, my name has 2 Cs and no K. Captain Carrot.
Aye Aye, Kaptain.
RT I know you said you would rather play than mod the game a second time. If you haven’t had any volunteers for a new game mod, I would be happy to take on that role rather than playing this round. (of course if you do already have a new mod, I still want to play.) I always thought being the narrator was fun when I played IRL.
Go for it NAF1138.
We gonna start soon? Who has the ball?
RT said he’d let it rest a while before starting another game, but I see no reason why somebody else can’t (clear it with the mods and) start a game of their own.
