2011 SUBSIM Werewolf Game: Intro, Rules, FAQ, & Aftermath

[Takeda Shingen]

Indeed. I was a seer. On night one, I checked mookie's alignment. I approached him on day two via PM and we had been working together since. Night two was when I checked Jim, and we brought him onboard (although he was slow to trust us ). I checked HunterICX on night three, found he was human, but he was killed before contact could be made. Around then, the Nisgeis/August situation occured, so we suspected them. I checked August. He was a human, and we brought him onboard. The rest you know.

I am very pleased with how our team worked out. We effectively steered the course of the game from behind the scenes from day three on, and were responsible for 3 of the 4 werewolf kills. Rear was unfortunate collateral. We just couldn't risk people implicating the seer.

So what was the inner glow about Jimbuna all about then? I may have been mislead about the seer...

[Takeda Shingen]

For that, we'd have to wait for Neal. None of us really have the answer there.

EDIT: Misread your post, Nisgeis. My bad.

I was a guardian, and that night was one of the nights, I've protected Jim.
I always thought, that it was the narrators way to tell he was protected by some kind of magic spell.

[Rear]

I think someone protected me on one of the nights because I was sure I was going to die

[AVGWarhawk]

The first night I dispatched Bakkel. For no other reason than he was a cook.

When I went after Jim that really confused the hell out of me. I was not sure what Jim was. Seer, guardian human. I was not sure if he knew I was a wolf.

Nisgeis was up to something so I made him my next attack. This I believe threw a loop in the story for Neal because Nisgeis was coming back from the Nunnery. Those nuns talk too much!

Around this point Tarrasque reached out to me after I believe I attacked him. Thus we know both were wolfs.

No others reached out to me except Tak. Brief PM but I think Tak was on to me or was extremely uncertain.

I had a great time in the RP role.

[Rear]

Noone reached out to me until I was dead Got my post count up a bit though

Must have been on night 2:
I've protected
Night 1: Tinman764
Night 2: Hauptman Rear
Night 3: Jimbuna
Night 4: Jimbuna
Night 5: mookiemookie
Night 6: Jimbuna
Night 7: Takeda

I would have to say Enigma played a great roll at the end explaining those that are looking for answers and those looking to be loaners/dividing/protecting themselves. All valid observations and well written/played.

If we had to pick a player of the game....


My vote would be....


Tne Enigma!

Nice job sir!

[mookiemookie]

My strategy went thusly:

I was a guardian. I think I protected Raptor the first couple of nights. Tak approached me via PM once he found out what I was and we teamed up. I protected Takeda every night afterwards, as we needed a seer to help eliminate suspects and determine lynching targets. We brought jim and August on board, both humans, for their lynching votes.

When I found the Talisman, I PM'd Neal about transferring it to jim. I did this, but ran interference in the thread so that none of the wolves would know that I did. If they knew I no longer had it, I would be a target and if I was attacked I would lose my guardian ability and Tak would be unprotected. This worked from a role play stance, as in the last couple of games, guardians derived their ability from a charm they wore on their person, so I could make posts talking about fiddling with a necklace, and everyone would think I meant the Talisman, but I was really talking about my guardian charm.

Losing August was a blow to our voting bloc, but by that point, we had eliminated enough suspects and had whittled down the list to the point where our victory was a foregone conclusion.

We reached out to you...then tied ya to a post.

[Onkel Neal]

Wowee! Man, that was cool, you guys kicked ass!


I hope you had a good time, this was the most interesting game yet.

I will return this evening with some observations, and a breakdown of the events. Nice job, guys.

As far as I can tell, I only made 1 mistake in the game management. It had no effect on the outcome, though. You were attacked by Ducimus on Night 5, but you were protected by Enigma that night. I don't think the rules covered this:

If the werewolf attacks the Guardian, he is unharmed, but he loses his powers, and can no longer protect anyone or himself against future attacks.

So, you were attacked, but you were protected, so I think that part does not affect you.

It's always a mystery how a Seer gets anyone to trust him, though....

That glow was just a narrative device to express the Guardian protect Jim enjoyed two nights in a row, as he was attacked both nights.

More to come...

I was simply a human and the fatal error (in hindsight) of the wolves was their failure in attacking the guardian because he would then of lost his powers and I would have been forced to do the honourable thing and return the talisman to Mookie.
