Werewolf Lite CCXXXIV: Burkina Faso, 2164

[randakar]

It's sad that the game turned out the way it did, but I don't blame tamius for trying a different setup. I just wish we had been told in advance this would be a radically different type of game.

Also, we could have offered some advice.
Like "for the love of god, don't put in more than 1 seer per wolf".
And "please don't tell the seers which wolf they scan for".

It also wasn't as much a disaster as people made it out to be. It ended on Day Six, and looking over my player history, I've lost at parity once, on Day Seven, won three times on Day Five and once on Day Two, so that may even make this a longer game than average.

It's just 16 pages, tamius. And a lot of that is discussion about how to break the setup / how the village can win automatically.
Time length isn't important. Post intensity is.

+1

Another +1 here. The outcome of this was pretty much decided on day 1, after that it was just watching the inevitable happen.
The idea of wolf-specific seers isn't bad - if you don't put in more than 1 seer per wolf, and/or don't give the wolves numbers so the village cannot identify who is lying so easily, it's actually a rather decent idea.
But implemented like this .. it just isn't workable.
(Theoretically you could have 8 half-seers if you don't tell the seers who they scan for and don't give the wolves labels. That *may* work. But it would still be pretty damn heavy on the player roles ..)

At what point was it a viable strategy? I could have done it before the first seer C got hunted, however then there would be one wolf among three people, if I pretended to be a villager I was one among five (including the other wolf) which still gives better odds per person. A group victory was out of the question any way.

I think only 3 seers actually outed themselves in the first few days of the game, I don't see why you couldn't have claimed seership then. While you didn't really have anything going for you, at least you had the fact that seers specific roles weren't revealed on their death, so there was the chance of claiming to be seer X when one of the seer X's was already dead. (Personally, I would have tried to get the whole pack to do it and really create a total mind**** for the village to deal with. But that's just my idea of fun ) Still no guarantee you would have won, and yes no chance of a group victory, but I think you might have had a slightly better chance.

Being a research scientist, i'm all for experiments... even when i'm the unfortunate and unlucky victim.

Like Randy, i guess i'd say that the result isn't as hoped. No need to hassle Tamius about it. Let's just move on (and not re-use this exact setup ).

The idea was to have three seer claimants and one staying villager, but the first night ruined every chance of that. It ould have been fun

[Falc]

Well, Tamius, you gave me an interesting intellectual challenge, if nothing else. I enjoyed trying to find so many right approaches for such varied situations. Also thanks to marty for helping the discussion.

Yup.
So who will host the next Lite?

[Falc]

So who will host the next Lite?

Not me.

Tamius got a bit unlucky that I've been thinking about a Lite setup where some sort of 'cards on the table' approach might work, which probably helped me to figure this game out in a single night.

But I really doubt anyone'd be up for that game right now

[tamius23]

Yup.
So who will host the next Lite?

I think DoomBunny volunteered, or maybe I volunteered him

[Boris ze Spider]

Maybe giving the wolves two hunts would have balanced the game. But still, I enjoyed the break from the norm.

[reis91]

New Lite coming up?

[randakar]

New Lite coming up!

Good. When will you create the thread?

[Najs]

Good. When will you create the thread?

I could do it I suppose...

[marty99]

I could do it I suppose...

Great!
Najs has agreed to GM the next Lite, guys! It'll be up within the hour!
