The basic mechanic of werewolf dictates a must lynch to win for the village, except in the event of an end game scenario where skipping a turn increases your chance of hitting a wolf in a lynch or lose scenario. Based on that, I think we should lynch Imus Crewus. I would possibly waver if he had done something of value in the past, due to the constriction of the jail mechanic (which I hate). Rich or not, he is supposedly not even voting on services, which makes no sense. It is possible he has won some services and chose not to reveal. I don't know, but it is suspicious enough to cast doubt. If I had money I would buy stuff and try to help out. His lack of using his wealth means it is useless to us or that he is a Tarq and lieing.

LYNCH IMUS CREWUS

Crew, your inactivity and your statements haven't been helping your defense. Essentially, you may be loyal, but as one of the wealthiest people, you haven't done too much, and your statements haven't been very reassuring.

Grammaticus 04-12-2007 03:50 PM

For the Consuls,

Who do you plan to arrest tonight or who are your list of suspects? At least can each of you give us a "short list" that does not overlap? That way we can avoid a one candidate situation tomorrow.

hoopsguy 04-12-2007 03:52 PM

OK, working on recounting services with people for the last couple of days. Going from memory on these - searching through posts is getting more daunting by the hour - so please chime in with corrections as needed.

I'm leaving Day 3 off for now, as those services won't show up until the end of the day here. But for the stuff that has already transpired, here is what I have:

Day 1:
Gallus Clarus, ex-legionnaire (Ardent)
Titus Ludius, ex-legionnaire (Bullet)
Durus Pimpus, dealer in sexual slaves
Animus Sentus, person rumored to be affiliated with the Priesthood (Ironhead)
Furius Lucius, former warlord of Gaul, enslaved and now freed
Lexus Postus, owner of many horses (Alan)
Blakus Fortunatus, owner of many horses (Anxiety)
Swaggus Swaggus (Coffee)
Ardentus Enthusiastus (Dodgerchick)

Day 2:
Maximus Maximus, ex-legionnaire
Vitus Avidus, ex-legionnaire
Durus Pimpus, dealer in sexual slaves
Macro Gothicus, barbarian turned citizen for his service during wartime (Ironhead)
Balbus Senna, political philosopher from Corsica (Schmidty)
Faustus Felix, owner of many horses (Hoops)
Bonus Oceanus, owner of many horses
Swaggus Swaggus
Ardentus Enthusiastus

KWhit 04-12-2007 03:53 PM

I'm going to arrest LoneStarGirlus. She was the other half of my conditional arrest that didn't go through last night. And I have heard her name suggested a few times by others today. So that's who I'm going to go with. She has wealth, but has been AWOL, so we can't count on her to bid where we want her to (if we end up employing that strategy).

Grammaticus 04-12-2007 03:54 PM

Personally, I think jailing quite players is a good methodology when no other reasons are presented. Those folks are leaving the smallest trail for scrutiny in the future. If someone is not willing to cast a vote or offer any opinion, why not jail them? Historical experience in these games shows there is always one or more wolves in the quite bunch. When you got nothin better to go on......

Yeah sorry about that. I have a quick temper and sometimes I post things too quickly before thinking things through.

So what's the purpose of this game? To be the wealthiest person standing or getting rid of the Tarqs? Mine of course is getting rid of Tarqs and it's to the Rebublic's best interest to not arrest me as you would lose a valuable member of the community.

Having said that, I'm getting my lawsuits on.

Yeah but are you actually gonna do them?

hoopsguy 04-12-2007 04:00 PM

There have been a couple of people who have talked about coordinating the service bids today. I'll run a list of these with what I think are good choices if that is interesting to people. In truth, I think this is challenging given the lack of activity from some of our wealthier citizens.

KWhit 04-12-2007 04:01 PM

I don't understand why everyone is voting to save ITC.

He's as good of a suspect as any we have right now (which isn't saying much, I know), and has not been doing anything to help the cause - no bidding on services, no insight into the game, very very few posts for us to analyze and try to gauge his faction....

I just don't get it right now. At some point, we're going to have to vote to kill somebody (yes, I know we're 0 for 1, but I am worried about letting another day go by with no lynch).

Kwhit, I think if you look at the people who have been voting to save him, many/most of them are from the UTR or suspicious lot themselves. Just saying, is all.

I'm on the fence. I held to the line with Bulletus, and we saw how that went. I feel Imus has offered what defense he could. It's meager, but it's not like we could expect more from him. I consider it possible that he just didn't participate much, and we're just lowering the loyal numbers by executing him. Then again, as you say we have to execute to have any chance to execute a traitor, and there's some chance we'd catch one here. We have to get some good luck eventually.

I'm still hoping to hear from whoever hired the lawyers, as well as from Marcus and Lonestarus. I may change my vote to an execute at some point this evening.

So that means that ITC can't bid today. That means that Dodgerchickus can get whatever service she wants today - Marc Vaughn was the person who replaced Bullet and there was not significant money movement for either of these two in lawsuits yesterday. And until proven otherwise, we can't count on MV to be available so I'm not going to list him either.

Dodgerchick:
1st choice: Marco Gothicus (kill by sword)
2nd choice: Maximus Maximus (bodyguard)
3rd choice: Ardentus Enthusiastus (attorney) - have already used once, would like to distribute these roles for cross-vouch purposes

Next group - LSG has been largely removed, so I'll list four people here. I'll list them in order of trust/vouching from others as best I can interpret it: KWhit, Warlord, Ironhead, Schmidty. From where I sit, there is not a sky-high level of concern over any of these four.

KWhit:
1st choice: Schmidtyus Schmidtyus (attorney)
2nd choice: Vitus Avidus (bodyguard)
3rd choice: Marco Gothicus (kill by sword)

His trust level is universally high, he has the ability to move up economically. Least likely person to lie about data from attorney if he was a wolf in the game as his position is too strong to surrender in 1:1.

Coffee Warlord:
1st choice: Durus Pimpus (block action)
2nd choice: Marco Gothicus (kill by sword)
3rd choice: Balbus Senna (proves innocence to another?)

I don't think bodyguard need is as high here, and has already used the attorney once. So take a shot at blocking someone he suspects - I'm guessing/hoping this has a chance to stop poison attack as well (100% speculation).

Ironhead:
1st choice: Balbus Senna (proves innocent to another?)
2nd choice: Marco Gothicus (kill by sword)
3rd choice: Durus Pimpus (block action)

Cross-vouch on nebulous role by someone who has already provided good role information earlier in game.

Schmidty:
1st choice: Ardentus Enthusiastus (attorney)
2nd choice: Vitus Avidus (bodyguard)
3rd choice: Faustus Felix (send message)

Check out his fellow attorney, with backup options for protection or communication.

Going down to the next group it is harder to break out the levels of wealth. So I won't. I left the bodyguards, which I feel are more interesting for the Romans than for the Tarqs. Sure they would like to have fewer bodyguards to dodge, but unless they lock both of them up the threat is still out there.
Similarly I left the horses, which are not inherently as powerful as the other roles.

I listed multiple actions for people so as not to lock them in on choices - it is their role and they should have some freedom with it. But we clearly do not want the double kill to fall to the Tarqs and would prefer to lock up the attorneys for seer scans.

Grammaticus 04-12-2007 04:26 PM

Coordinating services sounds like a sound strategy at this point.

Unfortunately I can't win squat, but will place a back up bid where needed.

hoopsguy 04-12-2007 04:27 PM

Path - any harm in telling us how you used the guard on Day 2?

Tyrith - same question that Autumn asked.

I'm bummed if both attorneys were not hired on Day 2.

I'll throw out an idea on this - because we have nothing suggesting that the Tarqs can convert based on services so far. So if we can secure their 2nd kill option, we can really slow their progress in killing Romans while trying to build a legitimate trust list. We have two attorneys a day and a Philosopher every other day to do this. At some point we are actually going to catch somebody.

I'm not going to shed a tear if we remove ITC from the board based on his non-actions so far but the above thought has been rumbling around my mind all day.

Hoopus Guyus,

My fear is that if we don't lock down what each person is bidding for, it will leave enough confusion that a traitor could exploit to squirm out of the spotlight. Let's say Dodgerus and Kayus decide to both bid for Gothicus. Then Kayus would claim to have lost a bid, and we wouldn't know whether he did, or whether he had done something else with his move.

I'm fine with arranging the matchups any which way, but I'd like to make it as clear as possible. Even among presumably trustworthy people we've had a lot of mixups.

Autumn 04-12-2007 04:37 PM

Also, one more thing before I go to dinner. If we ignore Markus Vaughnus and Lonestargirlus, what happens if they actually bid, particularly if they are traitors? That could confuse things. Not any plan of action, just a concern.

hoopsguy 04-12-2007 04:38 PM

Autumn, I understand your point. But it isn't entirely my right to dictate their choices to them. I just tried to lay out some logic of what I think is the "greater good" mixed with what I perceive to be personally beneficial.

Even if we lock stuff down, there is a chance we are ordering a wealthy Tarq to assume a service that benefits them. I guess I kind of realize that I can't control this, but may be able to influence it, so that is reflected in my approach.

I'm hoping this drives discussion, not only among us but also among the people who have first crack at the services. They can coordinate amongst themselves publicly if they think it is to their advantage.

I don't see a huge weak spot in nailing it down to the individual. That way we can confirm who bid for what by results the next day. Only downside is the wolves could kill whoever they want to target for services. But if we have covered the backup bids too, it would be hard for them to use a service against us without us being able to pinpoint the culprit.

I don't think it is dictating it. Everyone will have to agree in order to make it work anyway. If we don't work together as a team, then we will not be as successful.

Ok my list of potential arrests are coming from the following list of three:

Lonestargirl: She normally is quite out there with her attempts to make sense of the game. I've seen no such struggle here.

Peregrine: Granted he hasn't played in a long time, but I've found his analysis somewhat weak compared to what I remember him capable of doing.

Antmeister: Has been pretty quiet and what little analysis seems flawed (casting doubt on KWhit? What's up with that?). Sure he's a new player but I don't want him to be able to pull an Ironhead on us.

So yeah my arrest will come from that list KWHit.

Lonestargirl is already being arrested by Kwhit, as per his post in huge letters earlier.

As for me, it's probably nostalgia. I consider myself at best a middle-of-the-road WW /player/, I prefer to run games or play WW face-to-face, those are what I'm good at.

Antmeister has been pretty quiet but so have others. You might consider looking at Grammaticus or Neon Chaos, also.

Barkeep49 04-12-2007 06:07 PM

Ok I lie. I'm adding one more to my list:

ITC -- I think he's trying the same strategy as Bullet. Since we saw bullet was innocent perhaps it'll work for him? I don't like it and I CAN issue a conditional order to have him rearrested.

That sounds very reasonable, actually.

Barkeep49 04-12-2007 06:13 PM

As I indicated in 1358 I remain suspicious of ITC, so I'm going to go ahead and Vote to toss ITC

Normally I would think the quiet ones would have a greater chance of being traitors but, given that I specifically asked why the pile on to Bullet and no one responded and given that Bullet wasn't a traitor, I'd lean personally that the more vocal people are the traitors.

And given that I'm at the bottom of the wealth chart...

GM'ing is my passion. I'm a little upset Peregrine is back since I was all set to overtake him as the one who'd GM'ed the most games :)

Peregrine 04-12-2007 06:21 PM

I've been working like crazy on designing my next game. When you change one of the fundamental WW rules, it brings up all kinds of weird balance issues, I'm trying to think of as many of them as possible before play starts, and deal with them.

You tease, you tease. I'm very excited about you being back. River's Edge was a great game, even if I did have to go and undelete a lot of stuff so I could wiki it :).

Peregrine 04-12-2007 06:26 PM

Yeah by the way, thanks a lot for the Wiki. As for River's Edge, the deleting stuff seemed necessary at the time, with people griping about it, but later on it needed to be put back, glad someone did it.

Mustang 04-12-2007 06:27 PM

I don't necessarily agree with the 'culling the herd' mentality by eliminating people that aren't speaking up right now (seems to be a considerable amount of them, including myself). Seems like a good way for the Tarqs to eliminate a bunch of people quickly and easily without alot of hassle.

ITC sure hasn't spoken up really so.. either he wants out or doesn't have a good defense. I'm leaning towards the first just on a hunch.

Mustang 04-12-2007 06:36 PM

Vote Free ITC

Peregrine 04-12-2007 06:37 PM

Overall this game is quite difficult, possibly even slanted against the loyalists. We need to figure out what we can do to even things out.

Problems that I see:

Limited Voting - Obviously we can't vote on whoever we like. This removes pressure voting, trying to play two people off against each other, and all the other usual voting tactics. Instead we have to go through two people who may themselves be corrupted by the bad guys, thus ruining the whole process.

Solutions - Several people including myself have already suggested unofficial votes and then expecting the consuls to arrest the people we choose. Hasn't really happened yet though. As for arrest votes, it's going to be even trickier to get a majority to vote for someone to be executed. Others?

Mercenary Roles - All the roles are up for the highest bidder. Instead of having a loyal seer or other roles to rely on, we have to buy them. This leads to all kinds of problems as a rich wolf can basically assure we rarely get to get a critical role. Also, with at least one role a murder role (based on the sword death from earlier in the game) this gives the wolves another way to remove us.

Solutions - Hard to say. Loyalists can try to get more money through lawsuits, that seems to be the obvious one, but again, since we don't know who's who, this is a very sub-par solution. We can also try to tell people which role to pick, but this removes choice, and fun, and is impossible to enforce. Again, wolves can manipulate that system to their choosing.

Lots of Quiet People - Not an issue with game design of course, but we have a large number of quiet people in such a huge game. That really cuts us off from a lot of discussion, and it naturally leads many (including me) to go towards suspecting the UTR people. Of course this also plays into the wolves hands, they can have a few UTR and at this rate, it will take them forever to be executed. Or they can be active and turn the rest of us around, based on the limited voting above.

Solutions - Encourage people to be more active? I don't think that's any good. Replace some of the worst offenders - seems to be slowly happening, that's good. Others?

Well just a bunch of nonsense from me...

Mustang 04-12-2007 06:47 PM

I think the light bulb churned to life in my head.

Trying to do an unofficial vote on the arrest warrants I would think would be the prefered way. I can't imagine a Tarq would be too keen to have to issue an arrest warrant for one of their own and would tend to argue for someone else. Although.. benefits might not be there until the numbers are down a bit.

Replacing players is kind of hard.. game has a little bit of a learning curve. For some reason, I was scratching my head for 24 hours...

I can pretty much guarantee that I'm not going to be getting any services any time soon based on my wealth.

DaddyTorgo 04-12-2007 06:48 PM

huge red flags raised there by mustang's explanation and vote. But i'm not sure to what extent that's because he may be newer to the game versus being a wolf. Seems like it'd be a very clumsy wolf-play

Autumn 04-12-2007 06:49 PM

Peregrine - I think that's a good analysis and summary of the place, and bind, we're in.

Why? Was just stating a case why it isn't necessarily a good thing to jump on the quiet ones. I didn't get much of a response (any) to my question of why we were voting to execute Bullet so.. given that, my deduction is the more vocal players right now are more likely to be Tarqs in my eyes than the quiet ones.

Same thing seems to be happening to ITC today. Unless I misread something...

Autumn 04-12-2007 06:56 PM

Right now I have the following people in my list as not having voted on Executing ITC. Now, most of these people probably spoke up and I just didn't write anything down, but I want to confirm.

Cofeeus Yakus, Ironsus Headus, Lonestarus Girlus, Pascalligus, Schmidtyus, Antus Meisterus, Hoopus Guyus.

Autumn 04-12-2007 07:00 PM

Mustang, I haven't heard anyone speak to a reason to Execute Imus Thecrewus except for his quietness, and the fact that while quite wealthy he has not bid on any services yet in the game.

It seems like the majority are starting to learn towards offing him. And for the most part the sentiment I'm hearing is htat it's important to not miss chances to lynch, and that if he's not using his wealth he's either a traitor or just not helping much anyway.

So far I've voted to free him, as I don't want to get burned and I think it's fairly likely he just hasn't been active, not that he's a traitor. Still, I'm new enough to this game to not have a good intuition how to proceed in these cases.

Schmidty 04-12-2007 07:00 PM

Vote execute ImusTheCrewisiusness

Ironhead 04-12-2007 07:01 PM

ELECT NARCIZUS CONSUL
ELECT AUTUMNUS CONSUL

Narcizus has been doing some really solid analysis for the village so far. The other two possibilities for this vote were either going to be for Hoopus Guyus or myself. Hoopus has also been doing some excellent analysis, but given that I have seen first hand how evil he can be I am not ready to put him in a position of power yet. Sorry bud. I chose not to vote for myself because I feel the game is about about 1 or 2 days away from having enough information to make some very important arrests for the village, and I want to have the shot to make those arrests knowing that I am good.

Autumnus has been doing some good analysis too and his thoughts about what the village should do have matched my own at several points. I also know from my first game that as a wolf I was very cautious about what I would say because I was constanlty concerned about being caught - the wolves are few and I didn't want to screw up my "teammates" in my first game. Being a villager in your first game, especially a large one, allows much more freedom to really post what is on your mind and that is what I see Autumnus doing.


VOTE TOSS IMUS THECREWUS OFF THE ROCK

I am willing to take a chance on. Of the original three players in the top 3 ImtheCrew is the only one who has no record of obtaining any services. For someone to just completely not vote for services for three days just seems absurd to me. By this point we have narrowed down the field of what he could have actually bid on to two roles - and admitting to either of them could possibly confirm him as a wolf. His odds of survivoring a lynch actually go up by just acting like he is lazy and uncaring.

Oh and Neonus Chaosus also. My count right now is 3 votes to free ITC, 13 votes to execute, and 8 that are either free him, or no vote yet.

hoopsguy 04-12-2007 07:05 PM

I'll throw my vote on Crew - we have enough people in play to get the execute so I'll back it to avoid any lawyer action denying the will of the masses (3 vote swing as demonstrated with Warlord on Day 2).

VOTE AIRMAIL IMUS CREWUS

Schmidty 04-12-2007 07:06 PM

Can someone show me where the current people for hire are posted? I'm not being lazy, I just can't seem to find it.

So yeah my arrest will come from that list KWHit.



Say what you will, but if another innocent dies today, it will still make me wonder. And believe me, I don't know how deep this is. Does anyone have any idea how many Tarqs are among us at this time? This is driving me crazy right now. I don't know if we have one or two Tarqs in the consul right now, so don't count yourself out either.

Well, I don't think any miracle is going to save ITC at this point. Of course, if he is a Tarq, logic would dictate that the arrest warrants would be targeted towards the people that voted to free ITC.

Lorena 04-12-2007 07:11 PM

The only person I trust is myself, obviously, and that's why I voted for bullet, Mustang. I'm leary of anyone other than myself that's at the top.

Lorena 04-12-2007 07:11 PM

dola,

Looks like Imus Thecrewus is screwedus. I like how people are getting creative with throwing people off the cliff or whatever.

Schmidty 04-12-2007 07:13 PM

I like myself, so:

Vote Schmidtyus McShmidty-a-lot Consul

And because I am a basketball fan:

Vote Hoopius Guysnessius Consul

You're pushing really hard to target me (and now possibly BK) as a Tarq. Especially when you say "If another innocent dies today...". It is quite likely that ITC is innocent. We have NOTHING to go on - no way to tell who might be innocent and who might be guilty at this point. To try to set me and BK up as potential Tarqs if ITC turns out to be a good guy (which just according to the odds is very likely) sounds very suspicious to me.

I have pointed out numerous times to you why it would be a HORRIBLE logical strategy for a Tarq (or 2) as Consul to avoid amking an arrest, but you refuse to listen. instead you keep trying to paint me into a corner of suspicion. Which instead only brings suspicion on yourself.

Antmeister 04-12-2007 07:14 PM

I still don't really know who to trust right now, but these individuals seem to be safe picks.
ELECT HOOPUS GUYUS FOR CONSUL
ELECT NARCIZUS FOR CONSUL
Since Barkeepus and KWhitus claim to be upstanding members of the Senate, I am warily going to choose to:
VOTE IMUS CREWUS FOR EXECUTION

And I hope we can learn of his allegiance with the execution so that I will know if I can go to sleep feeling much safer or to watch my back for the traitors among us.

Welcome Senator Passacaglia. There is an issue of importance that you could address. Your absence from the Senate has caused some concern. You are one of the wealthiest members of our group, and therefore hold great power. We do not know whether you have been using your wealth to aid us or harm us.

But the deadline grows very near. If you want to vouch your loyalty to the Senate very clearly, you can do so. Today only Dodgerus Chickus and you have remain to bid among the wealthiest of our group. There is a dangerous mercenary out there, named Furio Fuirious or something? If you pledge to bid for his services today, and do not use him to kill anyone tomorrow, your loyalty will be very clear to us I think. If you refuse to pledge for his servcies, especially if he kills someone tomorrow, then I would consider your loyalty very much in question.

So this is a vital task you could take on for us and join the ranks of the loyal Senators, if you act quickly before hte deadline.

Don't have the post # handy, but I pulled this earlier today:

Day 4:
Maximus Maximus, ex-legionnaire
Vitus Avidus, ex-legionnaire
Durus Pimpus, dealer in sexual slaves
Macro Gothicus, barbarian turned citizen for his service during wartime
Balbus Senna, political philosopher from Corsica
Faustus Felix, owner of many horses
Bonus Oceanus, owner of many horses
Ardentus Enthusiastus

Well the fact that you are not trying to ignore me and are constantly trying to state you side of the case also says alot. If it is flawed, why argue against it at all since everyone else will see it as flawed logic as well. :p

I thank you kindly.

hoopsguy 04-12-2007 07:23 PM

Antmeister, welcome to WW. Good to see some paranoia and suspicion kick in :)

In all seriousness, I'm having a blast playing with the new(er) players so far this game.

Autumn 04-12-2007 07:24 PM

Well, that makes me feel a bit less worried. Several of the members of the Senate I trust most had not voted yet, and were making me wonder what they might know.

Like Kayus Whitus I think it's very possible ITC is innocent. It seems clear that the vote is going to go through at this point though, minus some sort of last minute changes.

I am actually very suspicious of Antus Meisterus right now. His behavior sounds like someone working up to instigate suspicion. His behavior would make most sense if as a traitor he knew that Imus was innocent, and wanted to lay the groundwork for making the consuls look bad in the morning. That makes me actually more certain of Imus's innocence, so I'll retain my vote to free him even though it seems clear he will be killed. If he is guilty, I'm sure that will cast doubt on me, but none of the people I suspect as traitors have tried very hard to argue his innocence, so I think perhaps theyh're glad to let him die.

Autumn 04-12-2007 07:25 PM

I guess I had the names wrong of the services. I would liek to publicly ask Passacaglia to bid for the service of the guy that kills people, if someone can remind me who that is.

hoopsguy 04-12-2007 07:30 PM

Pretty sure it is this guy

Macro Gothicus, barbarian turned citizen for his service during wartime

although Ironhead should be able to 100% confirm. I based my earlier "rich suggestions" post on it being him.

Alright, the kids need to eat and I need to take a nap. Hopefully we got it right today.
