Re: TWG XXXV - Knick It In The Bud

long night lol

I suppose that happens when you need a PM from every single player in the game.

Re: TWG XXXV - Knick It In The Bud

In my experience, Kilga's updates usually take a bit longer than the average hosts.

And after a certain point, people who haven't voted will lose their chance and if their "choice" wins, no one will be guarded.

Re: TWG XXXV - Knick It In The Bud

One last thing before tonight's update:

- For those of you who either forgot about it or didn't see the vigilante role in action previously, when the vigilante kills someone, they are publicly revealed as the vigilante and will revert to regular human status.

POOL'S CLOSED

24-hour period is over. I will run the lottery pick and then produce a Day 1 update accordingly.

Re: TWG XXXV - Knick It In The Bud

David Stern came out from behind the curtain and stepped up to the podium. His words confirmed the fears of everyone sitting in the back.

"There has been a trade."

Sixteen mouths were glued closed in horrible anticipation. The audience, however, stirred out of curiosity.

"The Toronto Raptors have agreed to trade the rights to their 2006 first round pick to the New York Knicks for Channing Frye and cash considerations."

This announcement recieved a mixed reaction from the crowd, despite the stunned silence in the back. Some people were distraught at the Knicks front office for giving up promising young talent that had a professional year under his belt, but others saw some the potential for new hope; after all, New York was about to get its choice of anyone in the draft.

Stern remained at the podium. It appeared that the Knicks had sent in their pick along with the trade news.

"With the first pick of the 2006 NBA Draft, the New York Knicks select Patrick O'Bryant, Center, Bradley University."

As soon as the name was read the audience sounded ready to riot. How on earth was this guy worth the first pick in the draft overall, or even worth giving up Channing Frye? ESPN panned over to Spike Lee, who had already whipped out a cell phone. Their camera distinctly caught Lee's lips saying "Who the hell is Patrick O'Bryant?" to whoever was on the other end.

The tension in the back room was murder. After what seemed like an eternity, O'Bryant stood up and moved toward the door.

"I guess this is what I get for opening my big mouth."

As he started to leave, Tyrus Thomas clapped him on the back.

"I'm sorry, man...I really am. We all are."

Several heads nodded in agreement. O'Bryant left the room with a flat look on his face, imagining how he was going to be able to bear holding up the dreaded New York jersey with a smile.

Re: TWG XXXV - Knick It In The Bud

I know that talisman was probably human, but uh I thought there was card flipping this game?

[MilfeulleSakuraba]

Re: TWG XXXV - Knick It In The Bud

Nope. Where did you hear that?

EDIT:

Kilga
What's the best way to restrict information flow? Provide no information! This will be a 16-player game. 3 wolves, 1 wolfsbane, 1 vigilante. No seer, no psychic, no card-flipping. People are going to have to work with their guts as well as logic.

Sorry.

Re: TWG XXXV - Knick It In The Bud

WTF... We aren't starting this uber inactivity crap again, are we? **** no. Not on my watch.

I've already said a ****load over night 1... I want some input from everyone else. Especially those like 25 people who have yet to post at all.

[Omeganitros]

Re: TWG XXXV - Knick It In The Bud

What? Oh, I hadn't realized Kilga updated to Day 1.

Well, it's nice to have information on our wolves: They aren't risk-takers that take their chances with beating the lottery.

[talisman]

Re: TWG XXXV - Knick It In The Bud

oh what the.

ugh so predictable.

[Shashakiro]

Re: TWG XXXV - Knick It In The Bud

Yes Tass, we're all so horribly inactive because we don't stay up past midnight to look at the TWG update. =P

Anyway...as only one person has talked to me over AIM since the wolfing, and there hasn't really been any discussion here about voting, I don't really have anything useful to say yet, sorry =(

[blahblah18]

Re: TWG XXXV - Knick It In The Bud

tass he wasn't killed, and with so many good palyers to choose from, wouldn't he be the most fun one to kill unless he's a wolf? gg Tass

[Wilkin]

Re: TWG XXXV - Knick It In The Bud

Let's get this started off right:

1) The Vigi role. I've never played in a game with it, and thus can't say anything about it that Tass and the others haven't already. What Tass has said seems the most logical, and I can't think up a reason otherwise.

2) The lottery. It's an interesting form of guarding, and can have many results. For one, even if a guard is successful, there is always the chance (no matter how minimal) that the wolves might be trying to pull something. For instance, the wolves could all send in their lottery picks for one of themselves, and then wolf that person. Of course, on Night 1, the chances of a guard on them would be around 19%, but if a wolf isn't lynched today, it increases to 21%, then 25%, and so on, including any humans that also pick that person. It'd be quite a gamble, but a successful guard on a wolf could put them right in the middle of the human alliance.

3) Talisman. Not much to say here, as the first kill can't really form a pattern. I'll be sure to voice anything I do think of, though.

More as the day develops.
