Werepenguins - The Perth Massacre

Quote from: jroa on July 28, 2018, 03:29:59 AM

Out of curiosity, how does the dice rolling process work?  Did you roll two 6 sided dice and then go down the list to that number for each role?

I assigned each player a number, 1 thru 12, based on when they signed up (first player enrolled was number 1, second player enrolled was number 2, etc). Then I rolled a 12 sided die 4 times. The first 2 rolls were for the penguins, the last 2 rolls were for the special villager roles. There were no duplicate numbers that came up.

Can we see a picture of this 12 sided die so we know that it was not infact two 6 sided dice? 

Dammit, I thought I had an angle. 

That's a fair request. Here is the die, in a picture taken just moments ago. The "10" that is showing right now is just the side that happened to be up when I placed the die on the table.

OK, looks legit.  I thought I could mathematically weed people out, but I guess I can't.

We are more than half way through the first day. No votes yet.

11 hours and 13 minutes till sunset.

While I tend to like to skip the lynching on the first day due to lack of information, I'm open to getting someone knocked out to see if we have any luck.   If we lynch, I think it'd be good to have a friendly agreement we go after someone who has not participated, if there are any such players close to end time.

It's going to turn out that Pez actually is a penguin this time isn't it?

If people want to vote today, wait until nearer the time, we will at least have some information from how people are behaving.

Weren't those your ideas while you were a penguin?

Maybe we should try lynching from the first day this time. Last time we waited and it didn't work out that well.

Lynching now is pot luck if you score a penguin. Last time, it didn't work because you voted to kill our scientist. Just try not to f#@k it up this time and we should win it

We've been over this. The scientist did a shit job. And yes, it's unlikely that a penguin will be lynched. But do you really want to wait until the penguins have killed everyone to decide who the penguin is?

OK. So who do we murder based on the zero information we have?

Idk. We can start by you

Pez's irrational murderous intent so early makes him appear dangerous to the rest of us. As I'm going to bed I'm putting my vote in now.

[I vote to lynch Pezevenk]

Even if he is not a werepenguin, it is best he is disposed of. He will vote to lynch innocent people every time

He will be our Helen of Troy. He will destroy us all. Vote with me friends and vote to save us.

Remember, I had picked the werepenguins at the beginning of the first round. Listen to me on this if you wish to win this

Shifter is the only person coming off as even a little suspicious right now so I vote to lynch Shifter.

Whoever it ends up being we should definitely lynch someone today, not lynching on day 1 helped seal our fate last time.

That and not lynching SCG when she literally outed herself as a werepenguin. Can we try to not make that mistake again this time?

You haven't put your vote in square brackets so it might not be too late to rescind it. Your driving a wedge which could lead to a block and no one gets lynched today. If you change yours to pez we can most likely bag ourselves a penguin. Unless of course, you don't want to get the penguins.....

Either way a vote for me is a vote to lose the game. Bad idea. I'd be suspicious of anyone who wants to lynch an innocent. After Pez, I'll be watching you....

I was completely off base in the last round.  My detective skills suck.  I will vote with the majority today.

To be fair, he was the same when he was innocent.

[I vote to lynch Pezevenk]

The fuck?? You're going down that road AGAIN??

He will be our Helen of Troy.

Helen dindu nuffin. Seriously. She did literally nothing wrong. Everything happened because Paris wanted to get his dick wet and Menelaos decided it would be a great idea to drag a country into war because Paris took his wife. Pathetic.

Remember, I had picked the werepenguins at the beginning of the first round.

No you hadn't. You picked everyone you didn't like and then some of them turned out to be penguins.

That's true. He probably isn't a penguin. He's just an idiot. But I'm not sure. I'll think about it.

[Vote to lynch shifter]

You are going to ruin our last best chance for peace shifter!

I abhor your violence so I'm voting to bludgeon you to death with giant rocks!

You're right, let's get him out before he breaks the game again.

[I vote to lynch Shifter]

Things sure have taken a turn for the worse for Shifter. Will the rest of the villagers come to his rescue? Will they seal his fate? Find out soon! We have only 9 hours till the sun sets on Game Day 1.

After Pez, I'll be watching you....

Yeah, from Hell. Heh heh heh.

Good morning innocent villagers. I agree that Shifter is a terrible influence on the game, makes innocents look guilty and takes the heat off the penguins.

[I vote to lynch Shifter]

I vote to lynch Roundy.

Not that it matters because Shifter seems to have more votes, but eh, putting my suspicions on record. I think Shifter is just terrible at seeming innocent rather than a werepenguin, and I could be wrong, but it's rather bloodthirsty to kill one of our meatshields. He's been particulalry bloodthirsty so far, which is out of character.

Can't hit edit, but fixing typos.

6 votes remain.

I may be out of pocket for a few hours, but I will certainly be back before sundown.

I'm just trying to get into the spirit of the game. I mean obviously I was joking about lynching you and SCG right out of the gate. And really if you look at old games I've played here you'd see it's really not out of  character at all. The fact that I ditched that line of thinking and went with someone who seems like a legitimate threat should show that I'm thinking rationally, not recklessly, and the fact that you are now trying to convince the others that I'm suspicious based on bullshit evidence is making me legit wonder about you.

Remember how Jane played last time, people. She controlled the game by subtly nudging us in all the wrong directions we were already thinking about. It would be a mistake to let her control the game again, and I get the vibe she's already trying to do that. Being a penguin twice in a row seems unlikely but she is just as likely to be a penguin as anyone.

It's not that you threatened us, it's that you came out of the gate bloodthirsty while last time you were much quieter, calm and considered until you had days worth of evidence to go on. And then you're the first non-idiot to cast a vote, it's quite a switch up.
And immediately going for the "You accused me, so you're the penguin," tactic really isn't helping. Please just don't be the psychic pulling a BHS.

It would be a mistake to let her control the game again, and I get the vibe she's already trying to do that.

I've made maybe three posts actually discussing suspicions and tactics. Hardly controlling.
And actually last time my thing was just to focus on what others had said and encourage wrong votes, that way I was never the one to spark an idea and meant there was less attention on me. So, free tips for those looking for suspicious behaviour.

That's what you're doing here. You're echoing Crouton's earlier comment about me, magnifying it a bit so that later in the game the others will be thinking about it, and Bam down goes another innocent villager. My suspicion of you has nothing to do with the fact that you're accusing me, it's because you are making yourself look suspicious.

Also I did say last time that I'm usually in favor of lynching someone on the first day. I was just going along with the mob in abstaining. It was a mistake, obviously, and who was one of the people leading the charge to not lynch? I'm talking to her right now.

Well, yes, I was a penguin in the last game, of course I didn't want to get lynched.
Speaking of Crouton though, I doubt anyone really takes his quip seriously. It's one of those instances where you can pretty much read the precise tone it was written in. But what I do remember from the last game is that added sense of paranoia when you're a penguin that wants to get to the night and really be able to do something, and that worry when someone mentions your name, even if it's obviously a joke. It's a far cry from how it feels as a regular villager. You don't strike me as a BHS, so I doubt you'd act like he did.
Congrats, your opening was suspicious and your overreaction has convinced me. I was half-kidding with the lynch, just because there were enough votes for Shifter it's not like it'd have happened; I was wary and wouldn't have complained if it did end up going through for you, but I didn't expect it to.

You suspect me because I accused you, and because I was a penguin in the last game.

Geez, I've already missed more than I expected...

Seems shifter has stuck his neck out a bit too conspicuously.  I'm not sure what it means in terms of being a penguin or not but I guess someone has to go.  Withholding vote for now.  I will be interested to see how the penguins choose to act tonight...

[I vote to lynch Shifter] for no good reason.
