I was really surprised that** Rubystreak ** went down, actually. Up until this day she seemed above reproach. It was like Menocchio says her reaction to being accused that got her, I think.
I tried to act as indignantly as I would have if I was innocent. Overall, I pretty much didn’t say anything that I wouldn’t have said if I was a townie, so I probably would have gotten lynched either way :smack:
RT, fun game.
Maybe. “You’re arguing your innocence too vigorously!” is really hard to contest. I will say that you looked really suspicious to me after you were called out on day 2, but then again I knew the answer.
Independent observer here, and I was starting to suspect you as well Rubystreak. It seemed like you wanted to go after lurkers a little to much, and my feeling is that lurkers are more likely to be townies then wolves, particularly lurkers who haven’t voted much. I don’t think it would be a good idea for a wolf to not vote.
FWIW, I was reasonably sure Ruby was scum as the day went on. I didn’t want to say anything in case people are reading this thread, though. The “acting indignant” is really what did it, as townies generally aren’t that bothered by accusations. They know the truth is on their side.
Oops. Looks like Miller has fallen victim to “tall poppy syndrome”.
All I know is that my next vote would be for one of the two people Win pointed to, but looking for some other excuse (a believable one!). If it’s a townie, Win’s next - if it’s a wolf, the other one Win pointed to.
And if someone from that thread’s reading this, shame on you!
Darn, one of the wolves made a reasonable case for Miller being the seer.
Oh well, his zealous pursuit of Ruby made him lynch resistant, and there’s an obvious revenge motive so he won’t lead immediately back to other wolves, so still a decent choice.
Rubystreak said over and over that the townspeople should suspect (relative) lurkers. Since she couldn’t be sure which of the lurkers suspicion would fall on as a result, doesn’t that mean it’s likelier than not that all/most of the lurkers aren’t wolves?
Or to put it the other way, that all the wolves were relatively active posters at the point Rubystreak started posting about her strategy?
It’s possible–but remember, during the day phase, the wolves are all trying as hard as they can to blend in with the townies. So, Rubstreak very possibly felt that if she had been an innocent townie, she’d want to lynch the lurkers, because they gave the least information to work with.
I don’t think I could play an online version. Live, ok, I can do that, 15 minutes later 3 people are dead. As a Mafia player, I could figure out some strategy for removing other players. As a townie? Forget it. It’s just not my personality.
It was the indignant part that made me suspicious. You seemed to be taking being voted for too personally, which meant it was either an act, or you’re just a really annoying, whiney poster. And since I know you’re not an annoying, whiney poster, I figured odds were high it was an act.
And if I was wrong, at least you’d stop whining. 
So desperate ploy by Winston or the truth?
I am a little confused by this move myself. If he is a werewolf, and making a fake role claim, why go for one that has already been claimed, and not disputed? What purpose does that serve? Wouldn’t it have made more sense to claim to be the Seer or the Guardian Angel? Wouldn’t the at least one of the 3 masons said no to OAOW claim prior to this? This role claim makes no sense, and I don’t believe it.
That being said, it seems like such a desperate move that maybe its true, but I don’t think so. Welcome to this thread Winston Smith 
Well, it looks like the “I’m Spartacus” game I wanted to see back when OAOW claimed is coming to fruition.
The ultimate outcome of this could be very interesting.
A transparent and desperate lie. He’s definitly a wolf.
Since no one answered the first time, I’ll ask again:
Are the masons allowed to communicate off board like the werewolves?
I agree completely, but I am very curious as to why he role claimed as a mason, and not as something else. If he is a wolf, who knows he may have been able to out one of the more important characters. Oh well, I hope he joins us here and explains himself.
I think anyone is allowed to communicate with anyone else (who’s playing the game) off-board. I don’t see why there’d be a rule against it.
Townspeople are not allowed to communicate off-board. I don’t know if this applies to Masons.
As to Winston, that was a blatant, stupid attempt by a Werewolf to avoid a lynching. Perhaps he knows that he’s toast, and is trying to get the other Masons to reveal themselves?
Not sure, I assumed the “unable to meet at night” part of this meant that Masons couldn’t communicate off-board:
=== There are also Masons in the game. Masons are Townspeople who know each other and know that they are not werewolves. Sadly due to the throat-ripping, Masons are unable to meet at Night to talk… but they still know that at least some other people are certainly not werewolves.
Hmm. I figured that off-board communication would just be the real-world equivalent of pulling someone into a corner to talk to them.
