    Thing is, you know I'm batting for Team Good as I was viewed Good yesterday by the Seer. You're correct re: new role.

    Morning all. The bar is open.

    Agree with Cthulthu, the guardian would (or should) still be targeted even if guarding someone else. they are not usually just "out". Could be the other wolf but I think the rules also say if a wolf targets another wolf by mistake then they both meet, and the weaker wolf loses.

    I'd go with special role personally. I still also don't think this clears up which message was which yesterday.

    That's my take on it - new role, but uncertainty as to whether that's a good or bad role.

    I really cba to trawl through the additional roles but there are some listed here: https://werewolf.chat/Roles

    Two possibilities re PowerJugs' escape, I think:
    1. One of the wolves forgot to email a kill
    - unlikely as I think the write up would reflect the wolf being lazy rather than trying to kill PowerJugs and finding him to be out
    2. PowerJugs is a special role, which gave him immunity from being killed for at least one night of his choosing
    - if this is the case it would imply that yesterday's first message was from the seer and the wolf was going for a guaranteed good kill. (As beta wolf last time, I did this with one of my first kills, in the hope that the Alpha wolf would do the same and we'd learn one another's identities.) Itwould also make sense that PowerJugs would ask to be saved on the day he was named as good.

    I had thought a third possibility was that PowerJugs was the Alpha (a very brazen one, declaring himself as good on the first day) and that the Beta had tried to kill him. But I see from the rules that, if that were to happen, the Beta Wolf would die so that isn't a possibility.

    CB I think you're implying he might be the martyr - but if this was the case, he wouldn't have saved himself. Also, I don't think there's much point asking 'Jugs as I imagine he's not allowed to tell us what his role is.

    Based off this logic then, me and Opti are confirmed good by virtue of a wolf trying to kill me after the Seer viewed me as good yesterday and therefore CB and Hornetgags are therefore unconfirmed because the other message claimed to have viewed CB.

    Just caught up and read through. A shame to lose Diamond as his experience would have been helpful.

    Why do you think he was the Guardian CB ? I thought the guardian was outside your house but didn’t see anything ?

    I agree that PJ being out is a little strange, although he has indicated that he was allowed to go out ( “Or close enough” )

    Neither message is of help. At the moment we have no idea if CB is good or not from yesterday, so still nothing to go on.

    It will be interesting to see what happens tonight, if the wolf tried to kill someone else who is out at the time or if that was just PJ special super power.

    Interesting day ahead

    I'm not implying anything, I'm just stating without knowing what the additional role is, it's hard to say whether it's a good or bad one

    Huh? Where did I say anyone was the Guardian?

    Whoever is a wolf is playing a good tactical game - keep naming players as good so that we can't work out categorically which message is from the wolf. I am inclined to think that yesterday's first message was from the Seer but not sure I follow the logic of viewing Opti, unless it's because he's an experienced player who has been relatively quiet - a tactic he's followed successfully when evil in previous games.

    Its never happened before has it, a villager was 'out' when Wolfie came knocking? He can't be the Guardian as he is out every night and certainly isn't immune that way. Aren't all the roles announced before the game? I'm very confused by this. If it is a matter of Beta vs Alpha (I'm not familiar with that rule) it points to PJ being a wolf no?
     
  12. PowerJugs

    PowerJugs Doyley Fanatic

    The reason I say Opti is that the second message yesterday said CB was good, and the first message today then followed that continuity. I was viewed good yesterday and the wolf then tried to kill me at my home and then the 2nd message doesn't follow that same continuity. My take on it is that the Wolf saw the Seer post I was guaranteed good and decided to take that guaranteed kill instead of going for a random.

    PowerJugs Doyley Fanatic

    As HH24 established, if I targeted the Alpha wolf as Beta I'd be killed by the Alpha, or as the Alpha I'd kill the beta. Regardless a wolf would have died last night if so. Which would make life easier for Good.

    Harrow said he might throw in "secret roles" in his intro post. In the same thread it says that if a Beta and Alpha try to kill one another, the stronger wolf wins - ie the Beta dies
     
  15. HappyHornet24

    HappyHornet24 Crapster Staff Member

    Sorry, I wasn't clear. I know why you are saying Opti must be good if you are good. But I'm not sure why Seer would have viewed Opti (which would make me doubt both messages are from Seer).

    Have to say I'm enjoying this, being on this side of the equation and knowing what's going on for a change.

    Process of elimination and nothing else. Only one message can be correct and the other is posted by the Wand my take is that the decoy messages are those implicating CB and Hornetsgags as the 1st message today follows on from 'viewing' CB. Yeah, it is random that Opti was picked and I fully understand your skepticism, but the Seer has nothing else to go on so early in the game in the same way I was picked on the first day.

    Its interesting to note the poetic cum cryptic style of yesterday's first message has been dropped. Its possible the criticisms of it, if it was from the seer, brought about the change.

    It's usually worth putting the messages together to compare:

    Day 1 message 1

    Heed my words today you must,
    The words I speak are ones of trust,
    Evil doers I will alert when I know,
    Off to the gallows they will go,
    In my dungeon the stones have talked,
    The man is good whose dogs have been walked.

    Day 1 message 2
    Morning all! With nothing to go on, I decided to view Cassetti's Beard. He is good. Sorry I couldn't help you further.

    Day 2 message 1
    Morning Villagers! Cassetti's Beard is good. I decided to view Hornetgags as he began defending himself after Cassetti's Beard put him under scrutiny. He unfortunately is good too. I am really sorry I could not help you further.

    Day 2 message 2
    It looks like the Wolf has opted to post first and throw Hornetgags into the equation. Unfortunately I have already had my view today and saw that Optimistichornet is GOOD.

    2 messages starting with pleasantries and an exclamation mark suggest they are by the same messenger. So if we can work out one then we should get the other. I'm inclined to think that message 1 on day 1 is the Seer so Powerjugs and Opti are both good.

    Also, I looked up the special roles on that site and the Priest stood out to me as a role that could protect anyone by blessing them. So if a priest protected Powerjugs then it could still mean Powerjugs doesn't have the special role but someone else does.

    Second message is intended to cast doubt over my 'goodness' it's a ruse, the second message was posted 25 minutes after the first, plenty of time to read the the first message and view me, but chose to view someone else.

    Therefore second messager is the wolf.

    Seeing the messages laid out like that definitely helps, although a good wold would try to copy the style of a seer to cause confusion.

    At the moment we have nothing to prove that Gags, CB, Opti or PJ are good or bad, just speculation.
     
  24. With A Smile

    But the wolf doesn't view anyone, the wolf only gets to post a message.

    At the moment either message could be from anyone

    That's my point, isn't the point of the wolf to use misdirection and deception to reduce the number of goodies?

    If the rules do in fact clear PJ of being a wolf it makes cthulu's accusations earlier look a little suspicious.
     
  27. PowerJugs

    PowerJugs Doyley Fanatic

    Yeah. The wolf tried to kill me yesterday when the Seer confirmed that I was a Good, and the Wolf then 'Viewed' CB as good. As per the posts today, the Seer has then picked someone else at random to view in Opti who has been found good while the Wolf then followed on from picking CB to 'View' by then putting your name into the mix. It sure as hell doesn't imply you or CB are Evil but purely like everyone else you and CB are as of yet unknown. He's using you and CB's names to confuse the rest of us

    Ha! Lot of speculation about this new role today...

    That explanation made my head hurt

    When did the seer confirm you were good ? There was a poem saying "The man is good whose dogs have been walked.", it doesn't actually name you. We all assumed you because you had been taking your dog for a walk in the morning. HH24 has pictures of dogs in her profile picture.

    At the moment I think we need to keep all options open

    If Day 1 Message 1 (the poem) was the Seer who then changed their style after the criticism then it would be incredibly unhelpful to change it to the same style as the Wolf's Day 1 Message 1. So, quite confident that if the seer wrote Day 1 Message 1, then they also wrote Day 2 Message 2. Unfortunately, I don't know if the seer did write the poem...

    Any other thoughts/opinions?

    As I'd mentioned my dog Phelps a few times before the Message as well as walking him. But honestly I hadn't at all taken into consideration HH24's Profile Pic, then in which case I could be completely wrong on my assumptions.
