Mormont tapped his foot.

Fine then, but you send an innocent to their grave. My appologies, Merek.

Mormont · « **Reply #142 on:** April 25, 2012, 05:53:21 AM »

what

how do you know he's innocent

are you the scoundrel

please to inform

Merek the lovable Turncoat is strung up and hung from a bridge by his ankles and bobbed up-and-down in the water until he gets annoyed and slits his own throat. He was currently aligned with the Rebellion.

Send your actions for Night 3, if you dare.

Nothing other then that ~~your~~you're a fool, and you have no idea who the true guardian is. Unless ~~your~~you're the guardian ~~your self~~yourself.

Yeah uhhh... any REASON for saying that? the rebellion likes REASONS. The rebellion likes players who say things that are useful and who stop things from happening by providing important INFORMATION. You know, rather than just vote things they don't want to vote and not SAY WHY, right after voting for someone who I KNOW is innocent, ME.

In the night, two murders take place. Two sad, lonesome murders, signalling the end of the war.

First, the thief known as Lyonel, still bedridden and recovering from his incarceration, is served a poisoned meal and consumes it in a moment of carelessness. He is gone in the morning. He was loyal to the Rebellion.

Then, Althalos the Priest, a proud and powerful Rebel, is slaughtered while preparing for mass.

Of the remaining vote-eligible villagers, two are loyal to the Rebellion, two to the Kingdom, and one to nobody but himself. Per the rules, the Kingdom has reached its victory condition of having as many loyal members as the Rebels.

Brom was the Vengeful Warrior. He swore his sword to the Kingdom after the death of Borin.

Carac was the final Guardian.

Mormont was the Assassin.

Sadon was the Knight.

Tybalt was the Scoundrel.

Victory for the Mad King
And the Scoundrel!

Carac - Guardian
Fendrel - Mad Queen
Terrowin - Guardian
The Mad King - The Mad King

Althalos - Priest
Borin - Leader
Forthwind - Commoner
Lyonel - Thief
Mormont - Assassin
Sadon - Knight
Ulric - Scout

Brom - Vengeful Warrior (target: Borin)
Merek - Turncoat (loyal to the Rebellion)
Tybalt - Scoundrel

I'll let people reveal their true identities if they wish to. Don't feel any pressure. Leave comments here; I'm going to make a write-up about the game shortly.

Althalos · « **Reply #146 on:** April 26, 2012, 01:04:50 PM »

What a horrible comedy.

I was actually hung up on Carac's role being a lie due to not being sure if your rules - expanded for 14 people - included 2 commoners OR 3 3rd party roles. I had an inkling Carac was lying but I didn't act on it.

From PM on the final day to Mormont

Quote from: Althalos on April 23, 2012, 03:54:48 PM

If it isn't Merek, it's probably going to be Carac or Lyonel.

Tybalt is just stupid from all my estimations. Sadon got the second vote in on the Fendrel bandwagon so I doubt it's him. Brom might converted due to Borin's death - but this is unimportant. This is why I have any kind of doubt about Merek - Lyonel AND Brom? Problematic. Not enough to drop my vote though. He's being quiet anyway.

Wish I had gone along with my urge to protect myself last night. ffffffffffff

Althalos · « **Reply #147 on:** April 26, 2012, 01:07:27 PM »

(actually it was a lot of fun and I would play again. A+ game Kazz.)

Who did Ulric scry on night 0, anyway?

Kazz · « **Reply #148 on:** April 26, 2012, 01:54:22 PM »

Ulric (Scout) scried Forthwind as a Commoner on Night 0.

Tybalt (Scoundrel) scried, in order, Mormont (Assassin), Lyonel (Thief), Sadon (Knight), and Althalos (Priest). Besides that last one being on the night that Althalos died, Tybalt had basically all of the rebellion on speed dial, but didn't contact anybody until the final night (unless he didn't CC me the PMs).

Ziiro · « **Reply #149 on:** April 26, 2012, 02:15:08 PM »

There were so many ways this game could have gone right

-if Tybalt had told us that Lyonel was the thief
-if Sadon was ever actually active enough to try to trick the kingdom into wasting a night on trying to capture/kill him
-if we didn't kill/lynch our Commoner and Seer on day/night 1 (this is the important one)

In any case:
The Mad King: A retrospective

Caithness · « **Reply #150 on:** April 26, 2012, 02:30:46 PM »

I guess that will teach me to at least hear out a desperate-sounding last-minute roleclaim instead of hammering the vote.

James Edward Smith · « **Reply #151 on:** April 26, 2012, 02:55:02 PM »

Wait, Friday killed ME(Lyonel) instead of Carac??? WTF, man!

I guess I should have tried harder to look innocent, being jailed and escaping in the first day after talking about the thief in every post I made, AND being scried as the thief was not enough.

Scried by a seer who knew who both I AND the assassin were.

I guess I should have played it better... in some way... some way impossible... I guess.

Kazz · « **Reply #152 on:** April 26, 2012, 03:04:38 PM »

A concise list of the big shit that is bugging me:

Day 1, people start roleplaying as though they support the King, sort of missing the point of playing a werewolf game (ie the innocents are supposed to use the Day phase to find the werewolves and lynch them).

Ulric could have saved his life by PMing Forthwind at any point during Day 1, even before the bandwagon. It is normal for seers to contact the innocents that they find and begin a bloc; the only bloc that formed this game was one of faith (no pun intended) between Mormont and Althalos.

Ulric also seemed to value roleplaying more than actually playing.

Mormont revealed him/herself to be Friday. I have a lot of respect for Friday, but doing that goes against the spirit of an anonymous game. People should not be pressured into revealing themselves, overtly or otherwise. Besides that, the metagame of who's who shouldn't be anything more than a fun guessing game and should not affect play. I'm fairly certain it did in Friday's case.

This post here says "I am a wolf" louder than any post in the game:

Quote from: Carac on April 23, 2012, 07:31:56 AM

I second Lyonel. I am a vanilla commoner.

Why in God's name does he say "I am a vanilla commoner"? Nobody else was claiming, and he claims the wolfiest role to claim because it's the hardest to counter.

The Guardians kept begging the Mad King to arrest them. I have no idea why. They wanted to look like high-profile innocents, I suppose, but first of all the Kingdom doesn't have a built-in seer ability and would therefore not know who the high-profile innocents might be, and also the only person who was arrested, Lyonel, was the center of suspicion.

Mormont could have spared Lyonel by using "cautious" mode last night, in case he wasn't a Guardian/hadn't been turned.

Tybalt · « **Reply #153 on:** April 26, 2012, 03:19:05 PM »

To be honest, I was a little annoyed that I still hadn't scryed a Kingdom loyal person yet. I flipped a coin the last night to determine whether to scry Athalos or Carac, and apparently would have chosen wrong.

However, I did contact Mormont then, since there was a slight possibility that she would have targeted me. She told me that she was killing Lyonel after my first PM where she assumed I was the priest. I couldn't believe my luck that she would tell me something like that without a confirmation. So with that, I decided to have some fun and tell her that Lyonel was the Thief and advise not to kill him but nothing else. She surely wouldn't believe me until he turned up as so, but then the Rebellion would probably ignore me afterwards and I still would have a stock full of information to trade for my life when appropriate.

also

his name is Althalos

there's an L after the first A

Ziiro · « **Reply #155 on:** April 26, 2012, 03:38:41 PM »

you know

AltHALOs

Ziiro · « **Reply #156 on:** April 26, 2012, 03:42:14 PM »

Geo

you could have,

you know.

said you were the thief and you that freed yourself

I doubt we would have believed you but hey the numbers would be in your favor then

James Edward Smith · « **Reply #157 on:** April 26, 2012, 03:48:56 PM »

Bleh, that would have given the king a forsure person he could kill as the priest was protecting the claimed assassin. Also, I thought it was pretty obvious I was the thief and even if turned, clearly not a guard.

Little did I know, it was even more obvious than I thought. A SEER TOLD FRIDAY WHO I WAS.

FUCKIN' DOMINIC!

Ziiro · « **Reply #158 on:** April 26, 2012, 03:52:26 PM »

Wait, Tybalt: Did you claim to be the priest or did Friday just assume you were claiming to be the priest?

I had been in communication with Friday since she claimed. (Call it stupid to respond that fast, but the game felt over and I was thinking of asking the Mad King to join anyway.)

Defenestration · « **Reply #159 on:** April 26, 2012, 04:00:45 PM »

Friday assumed I was the priest, though if she knew it was Althalos, she was lying to me then. But the end result was the same.
