Night of the Werewolves - The Legend of Black Shuck

[Spirederman]

So the ability is you get to lock 4 villagers up for a day and prevent them from talking?

They're the basics Lee, exactly as you've said.

 

[Spirederman]

However, if your power was single use, how are you getting close? And why do you reckon 1 of them in particular knows?

Great points there Stranger, in a strange village.

Did you ever Joust for Mansfield's Jolly Jousters btw?? Jousting is a great passion of mine and I'd love to take thee for a few ales and talk about it, if that was the case.

 

[Steady]

Aha, cheers gents. Certainly gives Stagat's point plenty of credence in that all three of Lee, Tom and LR are incredibly unlikely to be the wolves. While I have doubts over all of them, I'm not certain we've got enough to go on.

As you can probably guess, it would be foolish of me to reveal the fine details in public. Let's just say the circle of trust talks, compares inconsistencies we pick up in people's posts, discuss messages we might have had individually that seem suspicious etc. I wish I could say more as I'm aware the perception is that I went in gung-ho and am now being secretive. But the gung-ho approach got what I wanted out of it initially. Now we have to play the calculated game a bit more to deliver a wolf. Like I said, it's our heads on the line here. Someone has to put themselves in the firing line.

 

[Stagat]

Great point there Stranger.

I represented every age group from U13 up to U21 but never made the step up to first team. Got loaned out to Rainworth but eventually drifted out of the game and became a full time stranger.

 

[HarvSFC]

I've got my conspiracy theory for Stagat's point. They were sacrificing Thomas due to him already "coming out". Lee was being vocal about Thomas being a wolf, until after the deadline when Thomas all of a sudden became innocent. If Thomas had been executed and it was then revealed that Thomas was a wolf, we'd have all naturally assumed that Lee was one of our own.

 

[HarvSFC]

Lee would have then confirmed that our lord mayor was in the circle of trust and we'd never had suspected either of them.

 

[Stagat]

As you can probably guess, it would be foolish of me to reveal the fine details in public.

Aye, of course. Didn't expect you to tell us, but was interested in what your answer was going to be nonetheless.

Ah, a shame you fell out of love with the graceful game. Nonetheless

"STEADY!?????"

"4 Flagons of your finest ale over at this table please, the stranger and I are thirsty."

 

[Spirederman]

As has already been pointed out, it's highly unlikely that LR,Tom,and Lee are the 3 Wolves, as they are all co-signing each other posts. That makes me believe they are innocent, although the doubts are still there.

 

[Stagat]

Lee was being vocal about Thomas being a wolf, until after the deadline when Thomas all of a sudden became innocent.

Good theory, Harv. Deserves some attention. Anyone else think it's plausible?

 

[IanH]

Maybe one of the wolves (Tom) had the pre-requisite to declare himself a wolf before the first execution in order to gain something (ability to see the seer or angel / bite and infect people instead of just kill them)? Having done so, it would make sense for the other wolves to rally around him in some way.

Lee told you all I was innocent before the deadline, not after.

 

[last request]

This is simple. If our circle of trust isn’t the real deal, then there must be another genuine COT out there (no one has been killed yet so the Seer must still be alive). If the latter is the case, then a member of the genuine COT should publicly step forward now to incriminate me, Tom & Lee – game over. If no one steps forward then it is folly to execute Lee.

 

[SUTSS]

Just to clarify. I copy and pasted the rules from the original game and tried to take out anything that was no longer accurate. I missed the part about the three wolves. The number of wolves at this time is unknown. Apologies for that.

 

[MagpieBee]

Because the wolves can read all of our strategies here on who we'd suspect is a wolf based on who dies this evening at the hands of the wolves, any wolf killings actually tell us nothing.

The only way to confirm Lee's story is to kill him ourselves. If he is innocent, then we have a huge advantage early on, with a Circle of Trust we can all trust. If he isn't, then we also have a huge advantage, as we know a few other likely suspects.

Personally, I'm leaning on him being innocent. But with so many innocent lives left, it's worth killing him to learn a lot of potentially crucial information. I genuinely believe it's the sensible thing to do.

 

[JonBCFC]

the opening post States that there is a 'unspecified' number of wolves and then further down says there are 3. So it's a little confusing but SUTTS has just cleared that up anyway.

I'm going to vote for a NO EXECUTION I don't think there's enough information to go to execute anyone at present, let's see what the situation is when we all wake up tomorrow.

 

[SALTIRE]

Agree wi' tae bounty hunt'r! NAE EXECUTION!

 

[blade1889]

We don't want to randomly kill people and do their job for them. If we executed Lee and they killed someone in the COT then its a significant blow.

no execution

Like I said, if that's the way the majority feel, then so be it. However, you'd lose me in the execution and the Wolves would then likely eliminate another COT member in the night vote which would mean we're two men down.

If you can hold fire this time, hopefully we can deliver a wolf next game day and then (assuming the wolves kill in the night), we'd stand at 1-1 in deaths after the next game day rather than potentially 0-2/3.

 

[Ciderhead]

Despite some suspicious actions earlier on, my gut feeling is this group of Lee, Tom and LR are innocent. If they were wolves they'd be incredibly ballsy, putting themselves right in the limelight knowing if they were found out the wolves would be crushed and possibly even wiped out. It just seems to me to be too bold a move, too all-or-nothing so early on to make sense.

But MagpieBee raises a good point, the one sure way we have of determining where their loyalties lie would be to execute Lee. If he proves to be innocent, they'd still be 2 members of the COT that we know, LR and Tom, so whatever the wolves do overnight they'd still have a mouthpiece in the thread. And while the seer remains unknown, they'd still be able to function effectively only now we'd be certain they're working for our benefit.

So would it be worth the sacrifice? I've got to say I'm completely torn, and have been yo-yoing back and forth for a while now. I think I'll need to give it more consideration over the next few hours before voting either way.

 

[JJH]

Still too much doubt in my mind to vote someone off - NO EXECUTION

 

[yellow]

Jesus I wish I was given something useful all I've got is a fucking juggler for a son. He's rubbish at it too.

 

[yellow]

Just caught up… I still don't think we have enough to go on. See what happens after tonight, so no execution.

 

[TomPNE94]

No execution.

 

[Stringy]

I'm still waiting til Last Request, as our leader, indicates who we should execute. If he's right then I'll put my faith in the circle of the trust. If he isn't then questions must be asked, but until then I am happy to bide my time and vote no execution. I would urge others to do the same.

 

[Mr Elmo]

I suppose it's time to carry on waiting. Lee seems to have won us over about the trust of the circle. I'm still a little sceptical, but I'll put trust into it and see who the wolves try and get tonight. No execution

I voted no execution a few pages back.

 

[Stagat]

I thought he was meaning when you eventually do, be that tomorrow or next week. I agree with him too.

no execution this time for me

Ah ok, misread that.
