Re: TWG 206: Betrayal at House on the Hill GAME THREAD

I had a thought that, because you voted for E-B-E so early, both you and E-B-E could be werewolves and you could be trying to remove yourself from the discussion of who the werewolf is by being the first to vote one out, but...
- that would be a very rude thing to do to someone who has never played before, and you don't seem like that kind of person
- on second thought, that wouldn't even make sense because it would only make you more suspicious; the only person who is guaranteed to know the identity of a werewolf is the other werewolf
- AND you changed your vote anyway, so this line of thinking probably doesn't make any sense

I wish Sunfan was here to read this

What you're describing is called bussing (from the phrase "threw his friend under the bus") and it's sadly something that some birdsplayers do, but this would be a very egregious time to do because losing half your team as a wold d0 sucks, and the vets don't clear people for voting a wolf with no progression shown anyway. I hope my last post puts into context why I voted E-B-E and why I switched for you

Mmmmmmmmmmm

Attention new players!

Voting is scary, HOWEVER, 99% of the time it's the correct thing to do! Someone has to be flipped, and understandably no one's wants to be flipped because then their game is done.

It's bad not to vote, bad for for town anyway!

And this is Flash Flash Revolution, everyone will change their votes within 2 mins of the end of phase.... be ready for that! rofl

Hehehehehehe......

o.o'

I'm going to try to wait until there's a little more information to play around with

actually my brain just processed the fact that being able to change your vote means that casting a vote isn't like this big final decision with massive consequences like I thought it was, so...

Okay, you're just town forever

Honestly I sort of agree. Even setting aside that it's a lot of good reasoning for a new player, I don't think a new wolf player fakes that. We either got a town or a deduction game genius on our hands

Hehehehehehe......

oops...

"bussing" is something I've seen a lot of people do in in-person games of werewolf, so that's why it came to mind
but obviously playing in forums is a lot different because the games last longer and deaths mean a lot more
I came up with that theory before I read your post about E-B-E, but I understand now

mostly lack of content. unless they come back with an amazing post, i probably would not change my vote. also, following the herd too.

I want them to post more! (and if I have no reason to be suspicious of them by the end of the day, I can always vote for someone else instead)

i can see how "bussing" can affect the point of other players' perspective of your actual identity, i don't know how effective it is here in TWG, but let me tell you, it definitely does the trick in other social deduction games.

i don't know how effective it is here in TWG.

...maybe we could even see it in action...

Lights fall under the same security, as E-B-E was quick to point out, but I suppose you're saying that your trusting the wisdom of the crowd and picking Freezin over the other low posters because I did it?

I like the vibe of this response

that's exactly right, just following the veteran's footsteps. also, we have a higher chance of getting someone to defend themselves and or get them out when everyone sticks together.

if i were to vote for lights, i would probably be the only one.

It doesn't work as well here because everyone has seen the trick before. A lot. For years.

Apparently it's so common over in Mafia Universe that I was reading a game were someone got sussed because they voted wolf; they just assume all wolves bus their goons almost it was a trip to read

I'm not saying it won't happen or anything but I am saying if you're the wolfteam and you're thinking of hard bussing for the towncred, you'll still need to do more to prove yourself and at that point you might as well do the other work and keep your buddy alive
