    Oh right, yeah. DR posted even sooner before second message.

    Waste of time me scrolling through the thread and trying to spot that then, wasn't it.

    I know Im good. (I suspect harrow can say the same) But that doesn't help much here. If the first message is the seer then I know the wolf has just picked harrow as a random (although probably good and unlikely to be the wolf as it wouldn't make sense to name themselves.) If the first message is the wolf then I know the wolf has picked me randomly and harrow is good.
    But I cant tell for certain who each message is from. I agree with others it's more likely that the seer posts first, again it doesn't help.

    In terms of tactics, we need to remember we have a limited number of players this time and potentially 2 or more wolves. The wolf will know at least one good player for tonight and perhaps the chance to meet the other wolf.

    Unless you fluked one Moog and made the traitor nervous.

    Can somebody please start a bandwagon so that I can jump on without falling under suspicion for whipping up the village?

    Whomever we lynch, our odds of success are low, so whoever steers the vote will get suspected tomorrow.

    You're right. I've probably got it all figured out. Or I'm just chatting **** because I hate my job and it's preferable to actually trying to do some work.

    Ahhh you snooze ya lose in this world! Tell you what I won't throw you out though, Moog is in Room 3 waiting for you.

    Ill start the voting off then. I have voted for Harrow. Mainly because I don't like the jealous sideways glances he has been sparing my completely legitimate massage parlour.

    On a serious note with little to go for, I have plumped for Harrow simply as I would not expect the wolf to post the first message on the first day. By that logic Cthulhu is good, so Harrow has to go.

    That the one with the Moroccon style decor and the belly dancing music?
     
  9. Cthulhu

    That doesn't make sense and you've voted early.
    Harrow is, at worst, just a random pick. Why would he have to go? It tells us little as well for tomorrow.

    He's probably got to fist a horse (as part of his in game role, not the real life job).

    A real player would be fisting the horse and playing werewolf at the same time

    Alas I have real world work to attend to.

    Why doesnt it make sense? Its a choice between you and harrow? One has to go. From my experience in these games the wolf doesn't tend to post first on the first day.

    thats no way to refer to mrs moog, she has been using the parlour services for years...show some respect.

    An admirable sentiment
     
  15. Cthulhu

    Cthulhu Keyboard Warrior Staff Member

    Agreed the wolf doesn't post first on the first day BUT I don't get why it's me or harrow? In my view we seem less likely than someone else picked randomly or on the basis of other clues like posting time.
     
  16. wfcmoog

    wfcmoog Tinpot

    I'm voting for you for that.

    I think you could prove mathematically that it's more likely to be anyone other than either of you, as long as you accept the premise that the alpha is unlikely to name themselves in their first message.
     
  18. Cthulhu

    The English in the second message didn't seem quite there to me. Sorry Norway.

    So do you suggest we just randomly pick one of the 12 other players?

    As I mentioned, there is a chance that we can find out a lot about which message is which, albeit a slim one. If we select you or Harrow, and you are evil (i.e the wolf has made a poor random choice), then we know which message was from the seer.
     
  20. Cthulhu

    Cthulhu Keyboard Warrior Staff Member

    I think you can accept that premise on the basis that opti has gone and voted for one of us, seems an utterly reckless move to name yourself.
     
  21. Cthulhu

    Okay I see the logic, but it's a lot of ifs.
     
  22. nornironhorn

    I agree completely, but the first day is usually pot luck to an extent

    I retain the right to be questioned by an officer at least one rank senior (another Line of Duty joke)

    I dont know why ,but i have a strange feeling your going to get pretty busy .

    Wow how to open with a bang ! real sad to see the demise of Dom.:(

    Was going to say Good morning Villagers but it obviously isnt it seems the Furries are back :eek:



    Second message:



    Greetings Villagers,

    Looks like the wolf got impatient and posted first. With nothing to go on, randomly chosen is Harrow Orn. Harrow Orn is good.

    Let's hope for better luck tomorrow.

    Your Seer


    Read that all in a Scandinavian accent. I think it's Norway

    Just posting the messages together to save me scrolling:

    Message 1:
    Hi Villagers ,
    I had to take a random guess to begin with today as their was obviously nothing to go on. I can confirm that Cthulhu is good.
    Let's wait until we get a second message before throwing accusations.
    Your Seer


    Message 2:
    Greetings Villagers,
    Looks like the wolf got impatient and posted first. With nothing to go on, randomly chosen is Harrow Orn. Harrow Orn is good.
    Let's hope for better luck tomorrow.
    Your Seer

    Both seem to be similar in style which suggests to me message two is trying to mimic message one, there would be no reason for a seer to do this:

    • Exactly the same structure: 4 lines, opening line, long second line, farewell third line, sign off fourth line.
    • Both use the phrase "nothing to go on"
    • Both use the word random/randomly
    • Both put the entire word good in bold and the full stop after it
    • Both start the third line with Let's
    • Exact same sign off
    If the second message was the seer, surely it would be in the interest of team good to have a unique writing style?

    Very busy at work at the moment. But can see I have apparently been viewed as good. Obviously, no idea whether this is legitimately the seer or the wolf playing games.

    My guess is the latter. The "Your seer" message at the end has been used before by seers. Which is why I think the wolf is using it to sound plausable. If that makes sense?

    Annoyingly, whatever happens today we will get little information from it.
     
  28. hornetgags

    Going on the first message, the second sentence has bugged me. Is it trying to draw attention away by focusing on the 2nd message?

    Conventional wisdom states the wolf doesn't post first, why not?
     
  29. Harrow Orn

    Harrow Orn Squad Player

    Ohhhh, both messages end in "your seer". Still think message no2 is from the wolf. Trying to just copy the seer in the first message. If I was a seer I would be making my message unique.

    If its between me and cth, I don't mind being killed.

    I'd rather not be, but my impression is that message one is the seer.

    By what time do we have to vote?

    "Voting closes at half five with the result out at six pm."

    I agree that the second message looks like a copy. If so, Cthulhu is good and Harrow is...??
     
  34. Cthulhu

    Cthulhu Keyboard Warrior Staff Member

    I think message 2 is the wolf. I think the language style matches Norway. QED Norway is the wolf.
     
  35. Daft Row

    I think the second message has been formatted in that manner to cause confusion a few days down the line when comparing and contrasting messages. As it stands I believe the first message is the seers.
