I don't quite understand the 24 hour clock. In the games I have followed before there was a day phase and a night phase.

And if you've only been a wolf in one game, that proves my point. You've played a lot, and only been a wolf once. I don't know what game that was, but if I were hoops, I'd be curious to see how you play as one.


You don't always vote for me, but you always throw my name out there as a wolf, and I'm never a wolf. It's like me going to Lathum every game...damn, now I know how Lathum feels! :(

I predict they'll have the cunning wolf attack every night until we catch the SOB.

Basically the players all submit their actions at the same deadline as the vote.

I think as soon as Cronin has all of the night actions he posts the results?

I'm thinking about when the cunning wolf dies. Another wolf needs to make the attack, and they'd have to attack someone who voted for them that day. That will be hard to do if people change their votes at deadline.

I'd hope that cronin accepts conditional orders as a late vote change can just as easily screw over the BG or seer.

st.cronin 06-24-2008 11:05 AM

The 24 hour clock in my games works like this: At the deadline, the vote gets processed, and somebody gets lynched. Immediately after, I process all night actions, and begin a new day.

The big difference is, players with night actions have to send their orders in before the lynch, which perhaps puts them at a slight disadvantage.

The 24 hour clock means there is no night phase and day phase, just one phase for the entire day.

So all players with night actions (wolves, bodyguard, seer, etc) have to have their night orders in by the same time the lynch is due which adds more strategy to their choices obviously.

Yes, I encourage everybody with night actions to send conditional orders.

If hoops would have picked me, which he didn't, he would have made a huge mistake. You know what is happening in my real life right now (twins 2 weeks old and all), hence my request for a vanilla villager role as my activity isn't up to being a "roled" person villager or wolf. Poli (AE) actually did the right thing and followed my request.

But if it helps the village I have no problem with it.

It only took me about 30 minutes to come up with it.

I would certainly hope that strategy was used and not just "Oh I'll pick so-and-so because I once had a friend who had a cat with that name."

Lathum 06-24-2008 11:14 AM

well like I said, I made my argument and god forbid I "badger" anyone with my defence.

thanks for that :)

you wanna vote me because you think I am a wolf thats fine, but voting me because you don't want to listen to me defend myself for "4 days" thats bush league.

If it seems like I argue more then anyone else it is because I am forced to defend myself more then anyone else, and it isn't even close.

I didn't get that either - I thought Lathum was stating it as a slight possibility for Alan to be setting up something with his reveal. But I probably need to re-read that :confused:

PackerFanatic 06-24-2008 11:38 AM

Come on now, Lathum - no need to get huffy.

Alan T 06-24-2008 11:41 AM

It seemed pretty clear to me at the time that Lathum was saying that DT was setting up for a fake seer reveal considering he was speaking to DT in the previous post and then continued with a dola post with that information in it.

I believe in my earlier reading that I figured out why Lathum was saying that based on what DT said, but I read DT's comments a bit differently so I'll let Lathum explain if he wants why he felt DT was setting it up for such... but either way seemed clear to me Lathum was talking to DT the entire time there and not me.

as for your reveal - well you can't be the seer/fake seer i don't think -- you can't be a mason (penalty of death), could you be bodyguard maybe. could you be hunter...strong possibility

the whole fake-seer thing always bugs me, so i'm wondering if there's not more of a way to...control that and mitigate that


this is the post I was referencing, seems he is setting up subtle hints.

GoldenEagle 06-24-2008 11:48 AM

Is it possible that hoops decided to get cute and picked all females as the wolves? That would be amusing. Do we even have enough females to fill all the wolf roles?

Alan T 06-24-2008 11:50 AM

Looking through the list of players, I think there are alot of excellent players that Hoops may have selected that aren't even being mentioned. It definitely is not limited to 5 or 6 players that I think Hoops may have chosen.

I can see some merit in a few different directions of voting today, one of which would be Kwhit's suggestion of why Lathum would be the perfect choice.. I also could see Kwhit as a crafty wolf being able to toss out such a suggestion to throw some villager under the table as well though. I think I'll go a different direction with my vote right now though.. someone who hasn't been mentioned yet but when he played regularly I felt was as good of a wolf as anyone in the game. Hoops also realizes this and I feel would be a perfect player for Hoops to pick.. an excellent player that not everyone really knows but has great veteran leadership as well.

Vote Saldana

Hmm, Oliegirl, Lonestargirl, Mrs. Schmidty, Saldana, is that enough to cover it?

this is honestly one of the funniest things I have ever read in WW

hoopsguy 06-24-2008 11:58 AM

Or that he missed legitimate females and then included Saldana.

Priceless.

Come on. If I were a wolf, do you really think I would make a play like this day 1 just to get Lathum lynched as a villager? Especially since I posted my thoughts before anyone got any significant votes - so it's not like I'm throwing something out to try to save a wolf or something.

claphamsa 06-24-2008 12:04 PM

who else is fmale? telle and any others?

PackerFanatic 06-24-2008 12:05 PM

Haha - hence why I would never try to guess male v. female

VOTE LATHUM


:devil:


as opposed to what you do, ranting, raving and insulting people as soon as you get a vote on you?

Anything is possible in WW I've found.. What is the downside for you making a play like that if you were the wolf? It isnt like you are pushing it super hard, you just tossed out a piece of strategy on day 1 when no one has any information anyways. The chances of people turning around and coming for your blood after a scenerio where Lathum was lynched and ended up being good doesn't seem too high to me.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that I think you are a wolf here, I'm just saying that if you were, this would be a low risk high reward play on your part in my opinion. I actually personally think I want to stay away from the you vs Lathum thing today anyways. We already have a good bit of movement on Lathum, and I find a day1 vote without a serious second contender ends up being a wash without any information gained.

That is why I wanted to throw out my suggestion for another candidate, but also would like to hear other people's suggestions as well. A run away vote on Lathum doesn't really help us at all. If you all want to lynch Lathum then fine, but I'd at least like some kind of meaningful vote so we have an idea of who might have tried to save him (if he is a wolf) or not.

DaddyTorgo 06-24-2008 12:10 PM

we've had an all-female WW team before. in the fairytale game I made all the women WW's and then when i died they were an all-woman team for at least a day there.

but that would be awesome. and kudos to danny for the joke.

Lathum 06-24-2008 12:11 PM

VOTE DADDYTORGO

he jumped on me super quick and like I mentioned earlier I think his play is suspect.

My point was that I don't see this as a potential high-reward play for a wolf on day one. I see it as pretty much low-risk, very-low reward and therefore not a good play for a wolf to make.

Lathum 06-24-2008 12:18 PM

OK, so if you think I am a wolf there is no way Saldana is one and vice versa. No way Hoops puts us on the same team.

I've never posted much at any one time, but I have browsed on a regular basis since I registered. I also worked at Grey Dog Software for a couple years and still work for Gary and Wolverine on the side although I usually don't have enough time to devote there between fiancee, school and my regular job.

At one time I was EagleEye, then I changed it when I started working for Greydog. And yes, I know you are not a chick :)
