OK, so is everyone going to vote on a test? Just vote for whomever you want(except me obviously). Even a coin flip is fine with me at this point.
The test is tomorrow at noon, remember.
There are two votes out of four to test me. I havent yet seen a vote from AllWalker.
I’d rather test Allwalker or Oredigger because I know what I am, but all four of us can say that. I’m happy to go under the Testerizer if that’s the will of the rest of you though.
Still let’s place my vote.
Test Allwaker.
I support the motion that if the testee comes up AB then we vote for no lynch.
Yay! My first vote against me. I think.
Anyway, out of my two choices I trust the decoder more than the non-decoder.
Test Oredigger
Sorry I should have bleached the quote ^^
Oh well, if that vote counts twice, that’ll teach me 
Hey guys, I’m back!
Oh right…testerizer colors…
This is for MHaye:
Eggshell White
Lime
Lol, I was looking at that, freaking out. Why is there only one colour? OMG the testeriser broke!
But no, two colours, alphabetical.
No lynch
I’m on board with that.
Vote No Lynch
OK.
Vote No Lynch
I think we need to end the game. So I’m going to vote for a lynch. At this point two players are confirmed and I know I’m town. So if there is a wolf its Allwalker (I don’t think there is a wolf). There is nothing to be gained by waiting a Day just to figure out that both Allwalker and I are town as well.
Vote Allwalker
Not that is matters with three votes for a no lynch.
Right, so if there is no wolf and we all survive toNight, what do we want to do? I mean we can do the following:
-
Flip a coin for the win.
-
Mass-declare…which will lead to a coin toss.
-
Just vote to lynch toMorrow(after the test), without declaring, and see what happens.
Thoughts? I think the game needs to end toMorrow, assuming there are no wolves.
I think our best bet is the mass claim I’ve got my status from Pede and I’m ok with a town tie. The other option is to test either All or I and then lynch the other. If we go the second rout I would prefer to be the one tested to give my side the best chance of winning.
Is the test result coming today(Tuesday)?
Ignore this post I made.
When is Night?
My deepest apologies.
My life, once again, has come under fire from TvTropes, making this the sixth campaign so far. You’d think I’d learn…
Anyway:
No Lynch (3): Allwalker, MHaye, Mahaloth
Allwalker (1): Oredigger77
The four of you faced off in a square, Mexican-style. Each glancing, frightened, eager, worried. But…at some point, the whole situation started to feel silly. There were no more werewolves, of that you were almost completely sure. And you were fighting over the best form of food gathering. Food gathering. Mahaloth started to chuckle over the absurdity, and the tension broke. No longer was this a divided city, split into factions. Now, this was a city united. And so the group got to work. Mhaye drew up the blueprints for the Testerizer, including the color code, for Allwalker to deliver to nearby towns, in case there were more wolves elsewhere. Mahaloth, as the most trusted member of the citizenry, stood guard and made dinner. And oredigger started to rebuild from the week or so of neglect that had damaged parts of the town. You reconvined for dinner, cheeseburgers of cooperation, victory, and deliciousness. For the buns were made from wheat grown on the farms, and the cheese had come from the local ranch, and the meat was fresh wolf.
For being able to solve their problems with non-violence when necessary, Oredigger77, Mahaloth, Mhaye, and Allwalker managed to repair the split in the community and seize a TOTAL TOWN WIN
Whoohoo!! Does that mean ranchers and farmres alike win?
On endings:
There were 5 possible endings. The most basic ones were just the wolves eating the remaining townies, the ranchers driving off the farmers, and vice versa. I didn’t really expound there, just like I didn’t expound on most of the color. If the town had tied in a tie situation, there would have been a big long history of the town sequence depicting the final 4 (or 2, or 6) growing old and bitter as the town thrives around them. But because you all no-lynched when the time was right, you got to see the super-secret ending which was completely unhinted at throughout the game. Nice one town!
On balance:
So I started at 14-4, which is entirely balanced according to typical theory. I wanted to add a focal point that would help the town, so I put in the testerizer. By making it a mechanic and not a role, it encouraged discussion. However, this significantly helped the town, unbalancing things too much. So I added the split, and more importantly, the two Role Cops. Those were specifically supposed to be anti-town, by being pro rancher/farmer. The idea was that they would find out who was and wasn’t on their side, and subtly pick off the ones who weren’t. The fact that they didn’t, and that overall the town never divided itself, was a major factor in who won.
On the Testerizer:
Besides being a focal point, I wanted the testerizer to do two opposite things: to be confusing, misleading and difficult up until late in the game, when it was solveable, and elegant, to the point where the solution would get the response, ‘:smack: OHH!’. To do this, I employed misdirection. First, the order was important. The order was all that was important. I specified that there was an order to the colors–but the way they were framed and revealed, this seemed of little import. Secondly, colors. Colors are very important in Werewolf/Mafia/Psychopath. There’s a color for town, scum, a color for voting, unvoting, special voting/unvoting, mod questions…there’s a lot. Add to that that there are lots of possibilities for color codes, and the colors seem really important. The fact that they weren’t made up most of the confusion in the Testerizer
How I picked the colors:
At the beginning of each Day, I picked two. Then I ordered them depending on what the testerized player was.
That is correct, yes.
Oh ya! Good job town. Thanks for an interesting, if slightly boring near the end, game, pede.
Thank you, ped. Nice endings, great modding. Thank you, fellow players. GG guys, GG.
Now excuse me, I have blueprints to deliver to the next town, which hopefully has a lot more loose women than this town. Then, I’m off to read the forbidden thread, just because I can.
