Werewolf -- Crestwood

What percentage of the vote is generally required for a lynch?  I forget.

A majority.  So in this case, at least 13.

Also, you should note who was killed at the end of your passages in bold, so that we can see it at a glance.

Well crap, I died fast. Now I know how Dann feels.
It's usually over 50% for a lynch.

I abstain from voting until we have a lead to pursue. With this high a villagers-to-wolves ratio, lynching blindly is only likely to kill a villager and thus help the wolves.

I better like the idea of hiding it in the narrative.

I vote Parsifal. His lack of desire to lynch is suspicious.

Yes, because as a wolf I would totally not try to steer people towards lynching one of the many available villagers. Makes perfect sense.

Whew, I thought I might be first to go. Also, teehee at the thought of PP screaming.

I vote to lynch Saddam as it's obvious he's trying to make it seem like he was hassled by reading the text to find out who died, therefore making it obvious that he obviously killed Enigma.

Guys, come on. Remember to keep count of the number of votes thus far.

Parsifal (1)
Saddam (1)

The reasoning for both of those votes sucks. Not going either way.

lolwut?  I never said anything about me being hassled by reading it.  It's just that on this forum, this game has a long history of players being confused by narrator messages with even the slightest hint of subtlety in what's being communicated.  I have no idea what Pongo thinks the benefit of "hiding" the kill in the narrative is, but if previous games are any indication, the drawback is that every time a narrative is posted, someone is just going to ask, "So who was killed?"

I think it's Lorddave. As he just got married Pongo could've given him a wolf position as a sort of congrats, plus he was rather quick to try and turn it on someone.

Crappy reasoning, I know, but as soon as something better comes up I'll switch my vote.

It does actually when you realize you have to pick a non-wolf. And we usually kill people who are wrong.

Why are you all counting a vote for Parsifal?

Given that the odds are against randomly selecting a wolf with no lead, that logic applies whether or not I am a wolf.

This.  Lorddave, you did not vote properly.

Mkay, just making sure you were aware.

So what's the standard. Do people typically wait for more villagers to die before they start voting to lynch?

As far as I saw you really just go off a tiny bit of guesswork and hope you're right. But then I've only played the Vongeo disaster.

And I'm pretty sure there's a foolproof way to find out who's a wolf if all the villagers cooperated, but it'd be pretty cheap.

The standard is, we lynch Dann first.

And I'm pretty sure there's a foolproof way to find out who's a wolf if all the villagers cooperated, but it'd be pretty cheap.

Typically, there'll be some small clue a day or two in (game time). It might be a red herring, but there'll be something to hint at someone who might be a wolf. Sometimes it'll come from the psychic, or it might be a slip of the tongue from a wolf, or a hunch based on wolf attack patterns, but it'll come.

Then, only then, will I support a lynch. Otherwise, as I've said, we're shooting ourselves in the foot by making a random selection from a group of two dozen villagers and three wolves.

I think the wolves will initially try to keep a low profile and avoid posting, but after a few villager deaths they will become cocky and manipulative. So at this stage we should probably lynch anybody who hasn't posted yet.

Good point. I retract my vote.

This seems reasonable, although there's a lot of people who haven't posted yet.

I vote to lynch Dann. Cos well, you know.

Aaaaaand you still didn't.

Is it really so hard to read the fucking rules?

I vote to lynch The terror (1) because:

I wonder if Wolf Helium gets bullied by the other wolves for having a squeaky voice.

I wonder if you're trying to divert our suspicion.

Who the hell is he?

And Lorddave confirms my point about players who can't/don't read narrator posts comprehensively.
