The cake. The cake is alie.
I meant alive...


Anyway, seems like it's really going great. Didn't realise you had died etiher. That means I was voting two dead people. Yikes, that's bad.

Not only am I not alive — I never even joined the game.

Spooky, I know.

I believe we're at parity if we don't get this right, which in turn means that the village has to be unified behind a single candidate. For this reason I'll back Wagon, though I much prefer alynkio.

VOTE WAGONLITZ
VOTE ALYNKIO

So I've been voting somebody not playing for multiple days?

What is the case on Alynkio?

Does it count as a Stalingrad if you hunt the warlock? Asking for a friend.
 
No surprise on Arky Bark being a wolf to be frank. The way he kept going after me felt wolfish, even despite how easy a target I am.

I would refer your friend to our resident Werewolf historian, Arkasas.

Disappointing. I was 100% certain of alynkio being a wolf, but I didn't have anything concrete besides just utterly rancid wolf vibes, and I also didn't think Arkasas or Marco were wolves. Alas.

I wonder if some sort of weighted vote might produce a better effect than AV ultimately turned out. Something like, I dunno, you get three votes per day, your top vote is worth 3 points, second 2, and third 1. Still lets you distribute pressure to multiple people while not making the vote counts more or less opaque. Might be worth trying at the very least, if it hasn't already.

Pretty terrible, frankly. Only at one point was a wolf at the top of the list, and they didn't even end the day up there.

Anyway, it shouldn't be that big of a surprise that the village got ran over, considering that it's our first game with this kind of system and nobody really had any kind of experience analyzing it. One potential tactic I thought of would be to hide your "real" vote behind a couple throwaways so that you would have a bit of deniability after the fact, but I never was in a position were that would have been beneficial and I don't know if anybody tried that this game.
 
I have my own idea for a voting experiment, and I think after awhile I'll host a lite and see how it goes. That said, I think I'll wait awhile before I run it so we aren't bouncing from experiment to experiment.
 
I like it better when everyone is surprised I'm evil. I'll attribute this to Audren being clever and sheer baddie fatigue on my part. I've been evil about 5 games in a row now o_O
