Wow so I just realized we're not going to see who was targeted by the vampires, ever. So we're going to have about 0 to go off of.

Re: TWG XLVII: 28 Half-dozen Hours Later

hmm my reprimand came off a tad harsher than I imagined. but it was getting old.

anyway yeah... one of you blues use your role to make a play or something. I can't think of a good role to fake (that would yield any good info) besides something obvious like "DNA tester" or whatever the seer equivalent is in this game.

[Yesssss]

Re: TWG XLVII: 28 Half-dozen Hours Later

Now that I think of it, this game is going to take a long time unless the wolves get caught quick. Especially with information being so hidden, making public information a little more important.

There is, however, a guard (possibly multiple guards that can guard multiple people) so people coming out as a blue might be a good choice.

Although I'm still unsure as to what the other blues do. The scientists seem most like seers (although if the story is being followed, only red or green will be returned), but may also have the ability to turn reds to greens at some point in the game.

The plague progeny seems like a special role where he cannot be wolved, but becomes a wolf if lynched. I could be completely wrong though.

There is also the possibility of other roles like an illegal that gets an extra vote or something.

Re: TWG XLVII: 28 Half-dozen Hours Later

my read on the plague progenitor as it was initially written was that he/she is essentially a master wolf.

Re: TWG XLVII: 28 Half-dozen Hours Later

After waking up, you feel the compelling urge to tune in to the local news. The looming feeling of disaster that you had all day the day before would be reason enough, but the numerous police vehicles and screaming citizens outside seal the deal.

You change the channel to the local news and see the mayor of the city and a news reporter. He is giving an interview from what seems to be a barricaded room of sorts. The speech has already started, but you get the feeling the news won't be playing much else today.

"...and while we haven't been able to confirm it yet, our sources seem to hint that these monsters are coming from within our own city residents, if that makes any sense Barbara."

"So you're saying that townspeople are attacking and sometimes murdering their fellow neighbor?"

"Well, I wouldn't exactly call them townspeople at this point. Our military officials and scientists haven't had a whole lot of specimens and lab time just yet, but these things do seem to be in some altered mental state in the least."

[The clip ends there and the program cuts back to the local anchor that you're familiar with]

"As you can see, the city officials are taking every precaution with this incident. They don't want this to be a repeat of what happened with Racoon city years ago."

[The man's voice trails off a bit, although he's still on-air]

I've just been informed that we are taking similar precautions and will conduct future news coverage segments from a more safe location. We leave you now with a replay of the interview clip with the mayor."

[The program cuts back to the same scene as before, only to what you assume is the beginning of the clip. The mayor starts speaking.]

"I have called this special state of emergency today to warn you of the impending danger that our fair city faces. Numerous reports of murders have been called in within the last day, and it appears that we also have an epidemic of sorts. It is not clear how these two things are related at the moment. We have called in a team of SWAT members and leading scientists to help aid us in the crisis against the violent individuals and the rapidly spreading virus. It is being rumored that once infected, a person undergoes a horrible physiological change that leaves them craving flesh, and while we haven't been able to confirm it yet, our sources seem to hint that these monsters are coming from within our own city residents, if that makes any sense Barbara."

[The clip starts to repeat over what you've already seen]

You turn the television off and sit for a minute, soaking everything in. You come to the horrible realization that you do not own a single firearm and your home is easily accessible from all sides. You can only pray that the whole "love thy neighbor" garbage they taught you in Sunday school doesn't come back to bite you...

It is now Day 1. Day will end at 6pm EDT on Wednesday 5-30.

As always, feel free to ask me about any questions you may have. Active and caring players have and will continue to be rewarded for their efforts. Enjoy.

<aside> vote for me everyone, as much as you can http://www.krlx.org (I'm Jason) </aside>

uh, game related... someone make a play and make something happen. Maybe I'll get on later and hound people for convos, assuming you've all been good boys and girls and have saved them.

Re: TWG XLVII: 28 Half-dozen Hours Later

This is going to be piss annoying not knowing who is dead/zombie'd

[Yesssss]

Re: TWG XLVII: 28 Half-dozen Hours Later

Well getting information initially will be really hard due to the low count of wolves.

Which makes it really annoying for greens to do anything, but I guess it's like this on most TWGs anyway.

also, you bastards didn't attack me. now I'm left with so little do to.

Re: TWG XLVII: 28 Half-dozen Hours Later

'allo. I'm here, but my internet where I'm staying this summer sucks. Back to work tomorrow, with fast internet, so I'll be keeping up there.

Seems like being human leaves you with few options other than twiddling your thumbs. Assuming we have a seer-type role, I think they should be able to come out publicly under the protection of the guard. I need to reread the game setup, but what I'm wondering is if there is a reliable way to set up an alliance. The fact that someone who was previously safe may no longer be after a night phase makes trusting each other obviously more difficult. I'm off to reread the game setup until my internet craps out again but like I said, I should be around tomorrow during the day.


..oh, if you're bored go see pirates 3. As long as you can deal with things that make almost no sense, you should enjoy it.

Re: TWG XLVII: 28 Half-dozen Hours Later

The thing is, if an alliance is started, and someone INSIDE the alliance becomes corrupted, we're fucked royally with them knowing all blue roles. In this game, no one should come out with their roles, ever. Even after a seering, they are not safe with the way this game works. Basically, the only way a seer should come out is if they seer a red and think it is worth risking their role.

Now, about today's lynching, we have almost nothing to go off, so our best bet is extracting as much information as possible, and if we have nothing, our best bet for a day 1 lynch is whoever we think was most likely to get zombie'd, though that comes at a risk of getting rid of one of our better players if we are wrong.

Re: TWG XLVII: 28 Half-dozen Hours Later

Actually, is there even a seer? If not, just use that as an example.

[X3R0H0UR]

Re: TWG XLVII: 28 Half-dozen Hours Later

unless one is in the game and it was done between sign up and this games posting, no.

Some scientist actions however might act as seerings? But since no one is going to share the blue roles, and thats fine they shouldn't, we have nothing to do but wait and get picked off one by one and hope that the blues are doing what they can....

also alliances should have some sort of chain of command so that only 1 person connects another, so that we can always have at least 2 people working together in the event the chain gets broken...
