You sure did. Boy was that lame! Your role claim convinced even me that you were a werewolf. Still, what else could you do (apart from “anything else”), really?
Never mind. The crazed lynch-mob mentality’s half the fun, for those of us in the peanut gallery.
I was just trying to save my arse. Seriously. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Sure, but why that role claim? That is what I don’t get. Unless you were worried about the werewolves if you claimed to be seer?
I don’t know. I’ve never played before, and I didn’t really have the time or ambition to go to some of the game sites and study strategy. The whole role claim thing was something I concocted in all of about 30 seconds as a last-ditch effort to save my skin. I hope I was right about OAOW, though. In retrospect, I’m not sorry I did it. It’s just a game, after all, and I think my bizarre exit might enhance the game for the remaining players. 
It made it entertaining that is for sure. I have never played the game before either, and I was just trying to understand why you would do such a thing, and what makes you think OAOW is not a mason, since no other mason has said he wasn’t. I suppose you don’t really know either :). No worries, just trying to understand.
Too much time in the tavern.
I’d think a townsperson who is believed to be a seer can only do damage to the town (either confusing the town with false insight, revealing the real seer, or needlessly using up the guardian angel’s time).
Before your claim, I wouldn’t have expected any role claim from someone other than the person in that role, or a werewolf. Based on the unanimity of your lynching, I’m guessing most of the town had similar expectations.
I have been following the Werewolf game with a lot of interest, and **Winston ** had me completely convinced on the second to last page that jsgoddess is a werewolf, and her post afterwards voting for him sealed the deal. Then came the bizarro Mason claim and the sudden surprise vote against OAOW and I was confused all over again. I still think he was right about jsgoddess though.
Well that was entertaining.
Winston, if I may - I think you’re biggest mistake wasn’t the role claim (though that sealed the deal) but your repeated matter-of-fact statement that you were a villager and similarly matter-of-fact accusations. It was all just too cocky, too confident for a real villager to be saying.
Great game though, I’m up for the next round if it isn’t too full already. And hey, now at least I know what not to do. :smack: 
Well, you know, we aims to please. I agree that my game play could have used a bit more strategery. Maybe next time. FWIW, I thouroughly enjoyed playing, and I hope to play again some time.
Yes, maybe my purpose is only to serve as an example to others.
OK, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that
engineerd and jsgoddess
are werewolves. I will be happy to elaborate if anyone is interested, but I hesitate to do so openly in case any of the players are dipping into this thread.
And SHAME if you are!!
Well I say elaborate, as its not like the spoiler boxes are that secret or anything. Any person who is playing the game, and in this thread is already cheating. I would like to think that most people are more honourable then that. Particularly when there is no money involved.
Well, OK.
I think Engineerd is a wolf based on 2 things.
His was the 5th vote for Miller on day 2. This was after the announcement that being the 3rd vote was a wolf tell, so I think he waited until the bandwagon was forming and got on at that point to give it the final push
After Monocchio was lynched, Engineerd asked if another wolf would be promoted to Alpha Wolf. Now why would a townie need to know that?
I’m not as sure about jsgoddess, but Winston Smith’s posting kind of sums up my suspicions about her:
She also went along with the crowd by voicing suspicions about Rubystreak after the bandwagon was rolling, but didn’t actually vote for her. Protecting a fellow butt-sniffer by not voting, but making herself look good by pointing the FOS, perhaps?
She was, however, the third person to vote for Monocchio, which gives me pause.
Holy christ, this is the best game ever. I wanna play sooooo bad now.
Winston, Winston, Winston. Jeez. You just know the other werewolves were thinking “free ride.”
The Alpha Wolf is the only one immune to the Seer’s power. If the Seer investigates the Alpha Wolf, he’ll read as a townie. It’s helpful for the town to know that, now that Menocchio is dead, the Seer’s predictions are 100% reliable.
I disagree on the Engineerd thing. I have Engineerd on my list of 4 possible masons. And of the 4 he is the least suspicious to my mind. Engineed, Hocow, Kat, and CometotheDarkSideWeHaveCookies are the only players who have never voted for or been voted for by OAOW. Everyone else in the game can be ruled out as a mason by the voting patterns or death.
Personally I thing hocow and DarksideCookies are suspicious as all get out, so in my mind **Engineerd ** and **Kat ** are the masons, until proven otherwise.
As for JSgoddess, she may be wolfish she may be not, but I thingk there are better folks to go after first.
(this is WAY better than TV)
To be honest, I was considering asking the same question about the Alpha Wolf, but didn’t because I thought it would sound suspicious.
This gets the opposite reaction from me. Presumably the wolves would be told in the wolf forum who the new alpha wolf was, if any. As Miller posted above, there’s a valid reason for the town/seer to want to know that information.
There’s a valid reason for the seer, not an average townie. The seer isn’t going to just reveal himself, and that information does not benefit anyone else. Maybe it was just asked from random curiosity, but it made me wonder. Also, he WAS the one who started the Winston Smith bandwagon.
But the town will be voting based on the seer’s gathered information. If I am a townie and I know who the seer is (because the seer was killed), or I suspect I know who the seer was (because I’m good at spotting hints), and the seer implied or outright stated that Player A is a townie, then it’s helpful to know if that’s 100% true (no newly appointed alpha wolf) or 95% true (a newly appointed alpha wolf).
…and ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies just dropped off the list of possible masons, with post #990.
