Night Two

[Idle Thoughts]

Choose your victim and killer. Discuss the events of the Day. Have fun.

[wolf3]

Arooo.

What a mess.

I'm busy all tomorrow - won't be online at all. However, I think that whoever we kill, I should be the one to do it as I'm already potentially exposed; if a Detective looked at who killed amr, I'm toast. Also I think there will be a movement to lynch me on the grounds that OAOW and I somehow staged that fight on Day 1. So let's send the same person out until they're exposed and killed.

Anyone have any inkling about who might be a Detective or Witch? Those are the people I want to get most. I suggested Hal last Night and I'd happily go for him again.

*hopes for a stroke of good luck to balance out the random-ish loss of Fretful.*

Okay. before I forget this time. (I am such a bad Alpha Wolf.) What sachertorte mentioned, about the recruiting? That's my power.

As the Alpha Wolf, you have a Secret Power: once per game, when you (and not another Werewolf) attack a victim, in addition to killing him, you may attempt to infect him with your curse. The morning following the next Night (when his Side would normally be revealed, and at the same time someone saved by the Witchdoctor would come back to life) the victim will come back to life as the junior-most Werewolf (losing all previous Powers). He will win or lose with the rest of the Werewolves and be able to talk at Night with the them. Witches, Vampires and Cabalists are immune to the curse, and it may be blocked by a Vicar's blessing. You get one attempt only. If you die before attempting the curse, your successor Alpha Wolf will inherit it.

I'll post more thoughts later, but I'm mentioning this now because I completely forgot about it until Pleonast reminded me.

[wolf1]

Er, anyone? Where is everyone?

[Idle Thoughts]

Yeah, the Witches are cooking up plots and you guys are...

You have about 20 hours until the end of Night.

[wolf1]

Aroooo?

Hey, if you guys don't say anything, I'm going to pick someone to eat out of a hat.

[wolf7]

I dunno what to think? We know who's gunna do the killing tonight, but I don't really have a bead on anybody. I'll try and find something before bedtime.

[wolf1]

Wow. The end of Day 2 is a clusterfuck. I probably should have un-voted Idle Thoughts, but he just looked so scummy that for a moment I forgot I was scum myself.

There are a LOT of people not posting in this game.

sachertorte did make a good point about how Wolves and Cabal would know his claim was correct. I hope none of us left too obvious a trail.

I'm guessing that Idle Thoughts and sachertorte are both going to be protected tonight, one way or the other. We don't want to kill sachertorte anyway, I suppose. Hal has posted so little that I'm not sure what to think.

Apart from MHaye, I don't think any of us are garnering much suspicion, so there's a relief. This whole sachertorte thing has been a good smokescreen. I'm inclined to think that the people who participated most in that whole kerfluffle will probably be townies.

Any other thoughts? I guess we don't have to kill tonight, but I can't think of a good reason not to, other than it would confuse the hell out of the town.

[Idle Thoughts]

About four hours left.

[wolf1]

Ok, this is ridiculous. I'm going to make my own decision and you guys are just going to have to live with it.

I'll post again before noon PST.

[wolf3]

*Returns from the wedding and subsequent recovery*

One thought crosses my mind. If the situation is right you could always claim that you are Alpha wolf, and each time the role changes the new Alpha gets a recruiting power. Try to bluff them into not killing you.

Use with care.

Let me know who I'm to kill.

Aroooo.

Werewolf of London roaming the European mainland.

[wolf1]

I don't think they'd buy that. If that were true, why would we reveal that to townies? If each Alpha Wolf got a new recruiting power it'd be in our best interest to have the Alpha Wolf killed after each recruitment; our members would forever be shifting and the town would be thrown into chaos.

There might be a way to claim Magician, if one of us were forced to make a roleclaim. As far as I can tell it's the safest role to claim - although then we have the possibility of no one believing it because of that very fact. Other roleclaims are too risky; Freemason and Witch for obvious reasons. Scotsman would not save you from a lynch because you're supposed to be able to survive it, and a roleclaim would make you useless because no one would want to attack you after that. In order to validate a Warlock claim we'd have to kill one of our own. Claiming Detective would probably also mean we'd have to sacrifice a Wolf, although if MHaye gets enough suspicion it might be worth it in the long run.

Less than an hour to go; I'm still re-reading Day 2.

[wolf3]

If I were a Detective, I'd investigate the death of amr on Day 2 (after Sach made his report). I expect that we shall see breadcrumbs about my scumminess tomorrow. Whoever starts breadcrumbing will be a good target for eating in Night 3.

I've been pondering a Detective claim, just to buy a Night or two. What do you think? Finger Fretful as the killer of amr for Night 1?

[wolf1]

Ack. I understand there are only four of us left but four opinions would be better than one. I really have no idea what to think after re-reading Day 2.

For the lack of a better suggestion, I'm going to vote

MHaye kills Hal Briston

While MHaye is under suspicion, it's not of being a Wolf, so I doubt he'll be blocked. As for Hal, he is staying rather low under the radar but seems to have implicit trust from some of the others despite his lurker status (of course, this is only my impression), so here's hoping we get lucky.

[wolf1]

Maybe a Detective roleclaim wouldn't hurt. If you're on the block anyway. One could claim that Fret killed amr before she was killed in her turn. I don't know what you would do after Day 3, though. On the other hand, if we're lucky such a roleclaim might force the real Detective's hand.

And the Alpha makes an executive decision. Since it'll take a majority to overrule you, I'll assume this will stand.

[wolf3]

I support the Alpha Wolf´s decision.

I'd already said I should do the killing, as I should every Night until I'm killed (unless the Alpha Wolf decides to Recruit' ,and Hal was my idea.

Wish me good hunting, Pack.

Arooo.

Werewolf of Holland, ready to hunt.

[Idle Thoughts]

Mhaye killed Hal Briston.

[wolf2]

Sorry MHaye... some real life stuff cropped up but I'm fine with the decision.
