Summary
This was the first TWG following the creation of the #the-werewolf-game channel in the official FFR discord server, which allowed us to attract a lot of new players that wanted to try the game. Much of the start of D0 focused on conversations about gaming and movies. There were three players that stood out as inactive (under the post count minimum.) The most inactive of the three was veteran FreezinICE, and so for most of the day, most votes stagnated there. Arp! stood out as an eager and vocal beginner to TWG. Noobies made a pretty good impression as well, despite some mild suspicion from Charu.

As some game talk began, disagreements emerged about best strategies. Lights spoke from the perspective of extensive Town of Salem experience, while Charu and others advised of how TWG is typically played from their perspective and how interactions lead to info later. Eventually, some veteran players seemed to interpret Lights as having hinted heavily to being the seer and expressed concern. Charu emerged as the most likely active player to be voted out.

MixMasterLar had a bad gut feeling about the status quo. He led the conversation in the last few minutes of the day about the possibility of switching to a different inactive target. raeko was amenable to this. They accidentally were voting opposite people, and raeko got them organized onto a single target. Arp! seemingly couldn't sleep due to wanting to know how the day would end. They sealed the deal with the third vote. QwertyVibin was voted out and flipped wolf.

Deamerai took over Freezin's spot, giving it a try out despite being very new to social deduction games. Hateandhatred substituted in for an inactive wolf having already lost his partner in crime. Despite the odds and never having been a wolf before, he was eager to do his best to embrace the role. Lights checked out Arp! and Hateandhatred killed MixMasterLar.

Initially, most players seemed to have similar ideas on who was most trustworthy based on the previous day, but weren't necessarily sure what should happen next. Charu proposed a strategy where people shared who their N1 target was if they were the seer, which most players agreed to. Charu placed the first vote on Hateandhatred due to process of elimination. Hateandhatred's analysis rubbed raeko the wrong way due to it not focusing on the day end events. Noobies and Lights also joined in, instaing the last wolf well before the day was due to end and before Deamerai could really have the chance to play!

Overall, the town worked together well as a whole to eliminate the wolves, creating an environment where process of elimination more easily led to the inactive wolves. Almost every town player voted out at least one wolf. The host awarded MVP based on their leadership, effort in encouraging conversation and the fact that they were killed instead of the seer. There are other obvious honorable mentions.

Thanks for playing/spectating and we hope to see you involved in TWG in the future.
