I use 50.

50 here as well, but that's for everything.

50 for me too

Good Ol' Uncle Remus. They don't make em like that anymore, literally. You definately won't see it on Disney these days. But that is best left to another thread.

Of course in WW, I wouldn't recommend you go begging for a lynch, hoping for the reverse. And don't go swingin at Dat Tar Baby.

Actually, it usually works. In most cases, the person self-voting does not get lynched....only recently has that started to change.

If anybody starts talking like Jar Jar, they are my first pick to swing from the post.

I'd encourage the seer or whoever or whatever to scan me.

I've always been on 50.

I'd also encourage anyone to view into my heart. There is no taint of the darkside within me. I'm an honorable Jedi Knight.

50. Anything else would be uncivilized...

Dola-


Only a Sith would double post and not use "Dola". I'm on to you, Doc... ;)

I guess I'm just used to a game with Blade in it where it is virtually impossible to get a dola post in ;)

Eagles, I had the same thought when I read Jeeber's comments :)

So I haven't seen much conversation yet on how people think the game mechanics will play out in this one. I'll start - what do we think the ratio ("villager" vs "wolf") is going to be in this game with 23 players?

19/4 with the ability to convert.

I hate the freakin ability to convert. It has changed the outcome some games when a conversion will come with just 5 or so players left. I'm thinking the ratio is probably something like 18-5 and I hope no ability to convert(although if it is in there it probably is 19-4.)

saldana must've had the fish.

Over Rio Grande.

Unfortunately, I think the Star Wars universe is prone to having conversions. Master Saldana mentioning "The Dark Side of the Force is a powerful lure." would indicate that a Jedi can fall to dark side.

AHHH..too true. I guess I wasn't thinking as much as I was hoping something I never really cared for about the game wasn't included. I'm guessing the 19-4 is probably the number we are looking at right now then.

I thought it was Nacho Grande...

I can't tell you how happy I am to not see any Jar-Jar speak.

Not since Post #26, anyways ...

I am going to be out all day today, but I want to make sure that I get a vote in, even if it will be wrong. I will try to get back and change my vote to reflect what we learn today.
I used a random number generator to determine my vote:
Vote Kingfc

I would encourage the seerr or whoever not to scan me.

lol, this made me laugh this morning :) I was getting a kick however out of all of the people asking for seer scans on day 1. :)

OK, so for people who think that the game will break out with 19-4 or 18-5 what kind of factions do you expect to see? Just one block or multiple groups?

I'm pretty sure that I'm not the biggest Star Wars fanboy on this message board, but I don't ever recall having more than two Sith at a time in any of the movies - master and student. The closest they ever came to three was with trying to bring Luke over to the dark side.

But if this is taking place thousands of years before that time then maybe that is how we get 4-5 dark jedi. I'll defer to someone who has read the books or has a stronger recollection of history references in the movies.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I'm not a huge starwars follower either, but I've seen all the movies at least.

Maybe its like 1 Dark master, and one pupil, then the master has the ability to convert someone to the dark side each time his pupil dies? That seems somewhat realistic maybe?

I'm a n00b at this game, only participating one other time, and I got killed off rather quickly in that one. Can some one fill me in on what a "seer scan" is?

All is forgiven (but not forgotten) at this point, Qwik

a common role assignment is some form of the seer...each night that player can "view" another player in the game and find out the other persons role

Alan, that does make sense to me but there has to be some end point as well in terms of conversions (I would think).

There has to be limit to it however unlike what Alan is suggesting otherwise the Jedi could never win.

I would think that we are starting out with several due to the rules description by Saldana in the first post. I guess it would depend on what you defined "run of the mill" rules.

Jedi checking in, sorry I have been quiet, I went to a Dropkick Murphys show in Manhatten yesterday and I just woke up.

I think we are looking at 4-5 Sith. Maybe 3 if they have a really powerful conversion ability. 5 original Sith would be the max, I suspect.

I see it being very unlikely that there is no conversion. A big part of the Star Wars Mythos is the fall from the glorious path of the Jedi. The interesting question: Could there be any chance for redemption? Probably not, as it would be a tough game mechanic to balance.

Vote Lathum. Voting with-out an explanation does nothing to help the Jedi.

Dola (Maybe ;)) -

Well, others have already said the same thing, I said about conversions. My guess is that the Sith might be able to convert more than 1, but that it will be limited by either time or perhaps their convertee dying, or perhaps even both. If they can convert more than 1 person (I would think 2 would probably be the max) then I think we might only have 3 original Sith. Of course, these are just guesses on my part.

are you serious? it's day one, everyone votes without explination.

btw I picked alanT because I think his suggestion about a sith lord being able to convert a new pupil preposterous and he may be leading us down the wrong path on purpous.

I didn't find it preposterous. Actually, I'm guessing that the same thing might be possible. It certainly fits with the Star Wars Mythos.

I know we are trying to figure out what the numbers could be, but it seems as though Saldana was using singular references in his description. Maybe there is only one Sith Lord to start and he has to convert pupils. Just a thought but that would follow the whole Star Wars story line alittle closer than having 4-5 to start.

so then how would the game end? by killing the sith lord?

That vampire game was crazy!! Fozzie converted me(im still pissed he tried to frame me by converting me)...is he in this one? Either way, that game was crazy! Thanks for reminding me!
