Werewolf LXXII: Chess (Checkmate!)

[Neon_Chaos]

Chief Rum is the Black Queen. I am the Black King. I have all reason to believe that he is good.

White, if you lynch my queen, I swear, you won't win this game. I will help the wolves.

Wolves, if you night-kill my queen, I will suicide and and let white win.

[RendeR]

ok, so right now its 5-5 cronin and rummy and 4 for lathum?

[Alan T]

With the mid-afternoon deadlines, it makes the evening reading so boring, but I love the lead up to deadlines.

[RendeR]

VOTE Chief Rum


I haven't seen anything bad from either one really, but I don't trust lathum and he's playing "save my own ass" by tossing cronin so I'll go CR instead.

[Narcizo]

Unvote Lathum
Vote Chief Rum

[Neon_Chaos]

Even with my reveal, eh.

[st.cronin]

I don't believe Lathum is a wolf. I think its possible Chief Rum is a wolf, despite what Neon has said. I'll stay on Chief Rum.

I'm suspicious of: ntndeacon, Narcizo, jeheinz.

[Neon_Chaos]

I guess it's time to check allegiances. Who's Black, who's White.

If Black is this willing to lynch their queen, then this game is over.

[Lathum]

Well Render is on the White team I guess

[jeheinz72]

Unvote Lathum

Heinzes count is wrong I think

Why me?

It definitely warrants double-checking. It was kinda hectic there for a stretch.

[Neon_Chaos]

I guess we'll see if CR was a wolf. Pray that he was.

[path12]

Doesn't help with this vote, and invalidates one of my reasons for it, but Pass just told me that a wolf CAN both make a kill and move on the board in the same night.

You were in the run on Lathum and then now a pile-on vote on Chief Rum? Seems fishy ...

[path12]

Going to be interesting to parse this late voting once we see what actually happened.

No no, I wasn't "in the run" on Lathum. Check the post counts. I voted him at #710. NExt vote besides maybe a cronin unvote and re-vote of Lathum was like 841 (and then 846, 850, 887). I wasn't in a run, I independently decided to vote Lathum.

I switched because I don't honestly know for sure if Lathum or CR are wolves, but I know CR is Black (or at least have no reason to think Neon is lying). I'll be honest, I'm white, if I'm going to take a chance at being incorrect, I'd rather err by lynching the Black Queen than the Black Bishop.

[Passacaglia]

You people are all doing this just to piss me off, aren't you?!

MY BAD - I thought you were one of the ones after Path's analysis. Carry on!

If CR is a wolf, then this game will probably continue.

[Neon_Chaos]

Goddamn.

So Render, Narcizo, and jeheinz are all White.

Along with KWhit, Jackal, and cronin.

[Narcizo]

I actually didn't see Neon's reveal, but I had reason to believe that the vote off was st.cronin vs Chief Rum, with Lathum not likely to figure. I think CR is more suspicious than cronin.

Render had yet to vote at that time and I'm not sure he knew what was going on. I think Narcizo (not sure) and jeheinz (he did) said as much.

I'm thinking you mean Path instead of KWhit ...

Anywho, this isn't like a normal chess game; anything can happen. I'd encourage you to play it like WW and go for the wolves.

[Abe Sargent]

Just got back to see the results and wow. Wow.

[Neon_Chaos]

If Rum's a wolf, then let game continue. That's the only consolation I can find in what everyone just did.

[Abe Sargent]

Holy Revelations, Batman!

[Narcizo]

People seem to still be thinking of things in terms of everyone having one vote.

I'll be surprised if a queen is a wolf.

[Lathum]

I don't get the whole pawn thing?

can someone explain?

[Passacaglia]

After another day of bickering, with more finger-pointing, finger-retracting, and finger-pointing again (again with much distress to the GM ), you start to wonder how many fingers you have left. Suddenly, most of them seem to be pointed at Chief Rum, who seems to have adjourned early for the evening, ready to make a fresh start tomorrow. However, tomorrow will not come for him, as you tie him up and lynch him. Chief Rum was the Black Queen and a villager! Another mellow night passes by, with no sounds of fighting amongst the pieces. However, when you wake up the next morning, you see that KWhit as been eaten by wolves. KWhit had four Black Pawns!

[Neon_Chaos]

20 people. 32 chess pieces.

16 roled pieces.

Which means that 4 people are contolling 4 pawns each.

[st.cronin]

Ok, I think White has a clear path to victory now. We just lynch Neon twice, right?

[Neon_Chaos]

Okay.

I need to step away from the computer now. I might break the monitor.

[hoopsguy]

It is not a good long-term survival strategy to "duke/pawn" a wolf

[st.cronin]

I <3 Neon.

I don't think we can lynch him. He has to be board-killed if I'm reading it right.

[KWhit]

Bah. I saw that coming (getting eaten by wolves).

Good luck, ladies.

so 4 people get 4 votes each?

no offense PAss, but that is really, really silly.

Huh??

King
You are the leader of your team, and the prime target of your enemies. Your opponents win by killing you. You cannot be lynched or killed by wolves. You must submit a name to me via PM -- that person will be lynched instead of you, if you're a leading vote-getter. This name can be changed at any time. If the person you submit is the other King, then the name that the OTHER king submits will be lynched. If both kings submit each other's names, then no one will be lynched as a result of voting for the King. The King's color will not be revealed in this process. On the board, you may move one space in any direction. You can see up to three spaces away from you. You may communicate via PM with your Queen.

I think the Kings have to be mated or at least just captured to win the game.
