Cat Fight II – Attack of the Reinholdts!

Welcome to Catopia, my friends, a paradise for kitties of all colours and creeds, as long as you have enough cash to pay your protection money. Be a corporate fat cat in Catopia’s famous Scratching Post Tower, or hang with the local toughs in the Rodent Caverns, or chill out for a while in the Catnip Orchards…

Say, you’re not a Reinholdt are you? Good. Those kitties have been kicking up a stink since Don Custard became Mayor of Catopia, must have knocked Evil Rein’s nose out of joint something fierce. Just steer clear of any kitties with grey fur and a manic gleam in their eye and you should be fine.

What, me? Nah, I’m nothing important, just guarding the boarders as a favour for the Don, I mean mayor. The Reinholdts wouldn’t dare try and get back into Catopia, not after all that fuss that went down a few months back. Heck, these claws are fake, I had them done at the grooming parlour, look.

Hey, that’s not your real nose is it…and your fur is dyed! Mayday, mayday, the Reinholdt’s are trying to get in, quick help me sto-

....

...Ahem.

Greetings, residents of Catopia. I am Evil Reinholdt, E. Rein for short, and I am the rightful mayor of this city. Now, you will step meekly aside and make way for me and my associates here, or I swear to you our claws are coming out. Bring me Don Custard’s head on a silver litter tray, and no-one else has to get hurt!

Aw, but Rein, you said we was gonna kill all of ‘em!

*sigh* Shut up, cousin.

Rules

Cat Fight II – Attack of the Reinholdt’s is a WW game that deviates somewhat from the norm, as you would expect from a game that contains not only a plethora of evil and deranged kitties, but also an Elder God, a llama, and possibly even a catmuffin or two. Expect plenty of silliness and confusion, and try not to take it too seriously. :smallsmile:

Cat Fight will follow the basics of WW, in that players will vote for the lynch target during the day phase, which will then be followed by a night phase where all sorts of random abilities can be used, including a shared night kill for the Reinholdt’s.

There will be random events that will pop up throughout the game. No, I’m not going to tell you what they are or when they’ll appear!

During the day phase, players vote for the kitty they think should be lynched, and the kitty with the most votes will get chopped, barring any action-based intervention. If there is a tie, all kitties involved in the tie will be lynched. No minimum lynch majority will be required; kitties are a cutthroat lot.

During the night phase, kitties with night actions can use them by PMing the narrator. Some kitties will also have abilities that can be used in the day phase.

Important Note: When you are killed, please do not discuss the game until you are sure you are dead. The reasons for this are likely to become obvious pretty quickly, but just be sure to only discuss the game whilst you are alive with living players.

Roles

This is the first curveball in Cat Fight is the roles. Below you will find pictures of a number of handsome kitties, and a rather dashing llama, under three different headings – Reinholdts (Wolves), Hairballs (Neutrals), and Catopians (Villagers). This constitutes the role list. Only the player who has a particular role will start the game knowing what their role can do, and it’s up to everyone else to try and work it out as the game goes on.

There will also be one or more secret roles, that will only be revealed upon death. That is why there are fewer pictures than there are players.

Every player has a role. Hurray for just enough catatars to go round!

Reinholdts (Wolves)

Victory Conditions

Reinholdts win by reducing the number of remaining Catopian’s until they equal their own. Hairballs will not count for this calculation.

Hairballs will have their own personal victory conditions that will be stated in their individual role PM’s.

Catopian’s win by lynching all Reinholdts.

General Rules

If a player is inactive for two game days, they will be autolynched in a ‘hilarious’ manner, possibly involving catnip, or an angry dog named Tyson.

I'll be using Helgrafs Scry Interference Rule, if there are any scrying roles.

Days will last 48-72 hours, nights 24-48 hours. I’m not going to commit to a set-in-stone schedule. If you’re going away for long enough to be at risk of autolynch, let me know and I will grant you immunity.

Reinholdt

2014-03-04, 01:11 AM

Reinholdt (who I am obviously not) looks like a generous and wise leader and we should accept his rule without resistance.

I'll be in.

The white cat floats down from her previous death, reappearing. She turns to bap at Death, before shaking herself off and nuzzling the narrator.

5 lives to go, she'll be fine...

Because, yay, I'm a role.:smalltongue:

But honestly I can't pull in anymore time from real life, something to do with trying to graduate, but I wish you all the most of catnip(some of it has to go to me) and a happy ending. Enjoy!

Lex-Kat

You should RP as kittens who think they are puppies. :smallbiggrin:

A pale yellow Persian cat with brilliant purple eyes wanders around, slightly irritated at her player for making her an actual cat. :smalltongue:

Out of my seven characters, I need to figure out who to Catify.
Glowing cat with pointy hat?
Undead half-skeletal kitty?
Extremely fluffy blue cat with matching eyes?
Ginger cat with feisty attitude?
Dark, blue-eyed, moody cat who sticks to shadows?
Short, stumpy cat with a disproportionally high jump?
Black kitty with eccentric sayings and crazy eyes?
Or a blond cat with green eyes and warm purr?

Oh, they're all evil, but some of them are Reinholdts which is a whole new level of evil. :smalltongue:

Calm yourself, namesake. The words are all in good jest, though I won't be joining their furball wordplay.

Did you just?

Hahaha! Of course.

Well, vanilla town and vanilla wolf are roles too! So if you have 30 power roles, that means that we can have 32 unique roles! Yay! :smallbiggrin:

Holy cow, 30 power roles?! :smalleek: This is going to be sheer down-is-up front-is-back madness!

Um, I don't think you're supposed to reveal what roles you are or are not in a WW game, outside of the game. (You're still in Turf War.)

It's not unheard of. Medieval is run with thirty power roles. Careless series has more, but not all at once.

It was...a little crazy.

LLama LLama Duck

Here's a llama
There's a llama
And another little llama
Fuzzy Llama
Funny Llama
Llama Llama duck

Llama llama
Cheesecake llama
Tablet, brick, potato, llama
Llama llama mushroom llama
Llama llama duck.

I was once a tree house,
I lived in a cake,
But I never saw the way
the orange slayed the rake.
I was only three years dead,
But it told a tale,
And now listen little child
To the safety rail.

Did you ever see a llama
Kiss a llama
On the llama?
Llama's llama
Tastes of llama
Llama llama duck.

Half a llama,
Twice the llama.
Not a llama,
Farmer llama.
Llama in a car,
Alarm a llama,
Llama duck.

Is that how it's told now?
Is it all so old?
Is it made of lemon juice?
Doorknob, ankle, cold.
Now my song is getting thin,
I've run out of luck.
Time for me to retire now
And become a duck!

Sorry, couldn't resist.
Count me in.

I should probably read up on the basic rules now...

Reinholdt the cat
Was a nasty apocoplot
In an FFRP
We call the Nexus, you see.
Reinholdt's namesake PC
Was basically a werekitty
His main one a clone
Not at all wanting to end the world
So now you know
Why Rein has a number of cat avatars to many to be known

If we have 31, well, it's going to suck for whoever gets left out. Surely coming up with one extra role isn't that hard? Or is this to do with the number of cat-atars? Still...

I'll figure something out, even if I have to pinch roles from the original USB to fill up the village side. I might have to give the wolves another Reinholdt too.

It may just mean that we're a day or two late starting while I sort extra roles out, no biggy. :smallbiggrin:

I can't tell if you're purposely making unrelated cat avatars like Cristo Meyers' or cat avatars that parody the poster's normal avatar like Zar Peter's , so I'll link to my avatar on a different forum. (http://i.imgur.com/hClNCIu.png) I don't use it here because the tiny pixel art image looks awful on this website.

To tell the truth, the vast majority of the catatars are five years old, only a few of them are recent. Cristo's did match his avatar of the time, back when cats vs catmuffins was still a thing here. Of course, I was on the side of the kitties.

Yes.

You don't have to use your Role PM kitty/llama/whatever as your avatar during the game!

Those folks who are changing to catatars who are roles, are doing so because I made those avatars for them, a long time ago for the most part, and they're just wearing them for the kicks. Or nostalgia. Or something.

I've heard that catatars are a guaranteed cure for constipation, so there is that, as well.

Well, I did it because I like my Renfield-kitty, and between computer swaps and replacements, I'd lost the avatar until I saw it in thread here. So I've taken it back.

So basically, yeah, what banjo said in the second paragraph.

Actually, orange is often used during the game to signify the "finger of suspicion." Basically, if you find someone's behavior (or multiple people's behavior) suspicious, you can point it out while voting for someone else. (Ex. Seer says kill X, so you vote for X, but say that you're suspicious of Y.)

Cat Fight 2 - Attack of the Reinholdts

The litter here in Catopia was good, soft underfoot, and always clean. Evil Rein hadn’t missed much about the accursed Catopia, but he had to admit the kitty litter was divine.

“So, what’s the plan, Rein?”
“I gonna get be door stop again?”
“I suggest a sustained campaign of positive advertisements, with my sparkling smile on every one of them. I could even host another gameshow.”
“…stealth kills...”
“I agree with Ninja Rein, though I can’t bloody see him.”
“Kill ‘em and burn ‘em and beat ‘em and cut ‘em and fry ‘em an-”

“Quiet. All of you.”

Evil Rein closed his eyes and considered for a moment. Don Custard was the main target of his rage, but there were plenty more kitties who deserved to snuff it. He’d even seen a llama on the way into Catopia proper. Evil Rein hated llamas.

He hated everything.

“As much as I hesitate to agree with anything our crazy cousin says, I think Insane Rein has it right on this occasion. No door stops, no talk shows. We beat them. We kill them. We burn them. Then Catopia will be…Dr Reinable, are you doing what I think you’re doing?”

Dr Reinable came out of a squat position and readjusted his lab coat sheepishly.

“Well, it is kitty litter.”
“You’re disgusting.”
“No, I’m horrible.”

Evil Rein sighed and stalked over the edge of the litter and peered into Catopia city proper. Kitties went about their daily business as if nothing was wrong – lying in the sun and indulging in casual violence against each other mostly. A llama disappeared down an alleyway, closely followed by an elder god, and something that looked suspiciously like a dog. Either that or a catmuffin. Evil Rein felt the rage and hate rising inside him, the ever present stream becoming a raging torrent. Maybe that’s why he lost the mayor elections with only 3% of the vote. The cretinous kitties of Catopia just didn’t understand him.

“Okay, our attack begins right this instant, or I’m going to go mad.”
“Hey that’s my shtick!”
“Shut up and move!”

And so, the Reinholdts left the communal kitty litter and melted silently into the city, Ninja Rein even more silently than the rest. Don Custard and the kitties of Catopia know they’re coming, but the question is, can they do anything about it?

Day 1 begins now and ends in 48 hours time

The Player List will be kept updated in the OP

Game on!

"Meow meow meooow."

She bounds over towards a piece of yarn, before stopping. Nose down, tail in the air, butt wriggling... kitty... ADVANCE.

Adjust bow tie? Check.
Wiggle mustache? Check.
Remember glasses? Check.
Everything was set. Sure he may have the devilishly handsome grey and blue fur of a Reinholdt. And maybe his eyes sparkled with an intelligence some might call manic. But with this get-up it had to be very incredibly clear that he was Definitely Not Reinholdt. In fact, even the narrator had to admit that he was Definitely Not Reinholdt on the player list and there's nothing better than being cleared by the narrator himself!

Now those kitties with the manic gleam in their eyes, those cute murdering psychopaths out to get Catopia rightly, now those are the ones to be on the look-out for. And if anyone had a mania it would be Cristo Meyers.

The old cat strolled on the catway and muttered away.

In the old days the days were longer. And warmer. And Reinholdt was meaner. Oh yes, we had catfights. Oh, they lasted more than a week. Blood all over the place. What a beautiful sight. And the ladies! MEOW! If only I could find my telescope. Some of the grandkitties hid it again. Think they are funny. Hah! They will see when I finally push the daisies. They will get nothing! Well, the others won't get anything, too. Should have made a few savings. No matter, were was I? Oh yes, we had warmer days. And longer....

Well one cat at a time. We need allies. ask around. maybe start with that Arkhosia guy, he seems smart enough to listen to reason.

Or Zar Peter. Older cats tend to be wiser and more willing to listen.

Good point. We'll split up and try to make nice with the cats.

Can I ask Ramsus?

Sure.

Helgraf
Day 1, you can't know if someone is a reinholdt or not, so how would he be dangerous. That would make it sound like he's dangerous to you. How would you know if he were dangerous to you if you were not sure he was on the other side?

Aric Kale

2014-03-12, 05:30 PM

Because, my friend Duck, Aric begins, sitting on his shield, while basking in the warm glow of the Sun, he may have interacted with bladescape more than you have, and therefore have less reason to trust him.

Ahh, but day 1, when the person hasn't posted, what is there not to trust? If he turns out to be good, he is useful. Filiity's form flickers as he talks.
((Though you could be right. There aren't many reasons for votes day 1 anyway. Some people use randomizers.))

I try to find a reason, any reason, on day 1 just so I can at least try to spark some discussion and maybe get some better reasons out of that.

It's worked before, and this is even one of the better reasons, really. Why would you want to lynch a dangerous player, unless there's some reason to believe that he is not on your side, Helgraf?

"Whooaaaaa...meow! Wait, did I just meow?"

Disc Lorde looked at his hands. Well, what used to be his hands. They were now furry paws. Turning his head to look at himself, he saw that he had fur all over his body and a cat-like tail. Finding a nearby pond, he examined his reflection and confirmed that he had apparently taken the form of a domestic housecat, felis silvestris catus.

"Not again. So I'm a cat this time. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, not after I was transformed into a living puppet the last time something like this happened. Well that's the last time I mention that I'm bored in the presence of Eukara Vox's portal."

Disc Lorde now turned his attention to his surroundings. He appeared to be in a whole town of cats. Well, mostly of cats. There was also a very familiar looking basket of puppies.

Happily bouning up to the familiar face, Disc Lorde bounded up to the basket and introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Disc Lorde. Haven't we met somewhere before?"

A fluffy white cat meanders around the town, wondering what all the fuss is about. After all,

Haven't we gone through all this before, and won? We drove them out once. It shouldn't be too hard to do it again...

Then the cat proceeds to walk into a wall, and, not noticing, does so repeatedly until he falls asleep.

I would want to lynch a dangerous player because I *can't* be assured they are on my side. Obviously any argument I make against a player on day one can be countered by "but if they're a villager, then that cleverness works for us.

I do not buy the argument that that makes me a wolf because I chose to vote for a dangerous player. Yes, he could be a kitty. In fact, mathmatically speaking, he probably is. But guess what? No matter whom you vote for on Day 1, no matter what reason you give, unless for some reason the person you point at claims to be a wolf (Reinholdt); that will always be true.

And frankly, why should I play favorites and put my vote on an unknown player instead of an experienced one? Is that somehow inherently more fair?

Fair, no. But given that the wolves can discuss matters together, the death of a wolf player that is dangerous is a blow to them that is not markedly worse than the blow of losing an under-the-radar unknown player. Whereas every death of a proven-dangerous player that's on Town's side is a much worse blow than the death of an unknown player, as our chances of victory rest on those exact people. When I'm a wolf, if I don't have a specific target, I'll try to kill people who are dangerous for obvious reasons. When I'm a villager, if I don't have a specific target, I try to kill people who are not being 'dangerous', that is, not contributing much in the thread.

Of course, all this in the hypothetical situation of 'not having a target' which pretty much never comes up. There are almost always reasons to pick someone over someone else based on what they've done in the game. In this case, while I believe you are a dangerous (that is, contributing) player, the fact that you're acting in a way that I think might mean you're a wolf makes me willing to lynch you.

Lena has been living in Catopia for two years now. She had appeared in the middle town one day with a flash and a bang. She claimed to be from another world and babbled on about magic, psychic bonds and things that nobody could understand. The other Catopians eventually ignored her, and she moved to an old shack on a nearby hill. She would rarely come down to town, except to occasionally announce some important discovery of hers that once again would make no sense to anybody. Today, to she was coming to see what all the fuss was about. For now, she remained unusually quiet.

A yellow cat floats down from the sky and surveys the cats around him. Sorta. He doesn't actually look at anyone, he just kind of stares blankly into space, while raising a paw in greeting.

"Hello, everynyan!"

Turning away from the spacing out basket of puppies for a moment, Disc Lorde turns to the newcomer.

"Ah, hello. My name's Disc Lorde, what's yours?"

((You know, our chances of victory kind of rest on everyone's shoulders, not just the highly experienced players. One could just as easily argue that the unknown players on the villagers' side could be just as valuable as the experienced ones as they're less likely to immediately draw attention as a priority target from the wolves. It kind of seems like you're splitting hairs over what is, really, a shot in the dark on day 1 regardless of how you try to look at it))

Meanwhile, sprawled out on a rooftop, a robed, winged cat peers at the other cats milling about down below.

"Well...this is different. I'm pretty sure I wasn't a cat yesterday. Or here, wherever this is."

She leaps off the roof, flap her wings awkwardly and executes a perfect face-first landing on the ground. Rather undignified for an angel, or a cat. Instinctively she starts washing her paws, the standard cat procedure for hiding a mistake.

I'll vote for LoP for now, in an attempt to get a pressure wagon going, and encourage people to keep a couple wagons going throughout the day. Even if Helgraf's play is sub-optimal for village, that doesn't necessarily imply wolfishness at this point, or at least not strongly enough to justify me voting for him over another random day one target.

Personally I don't see anything wolflike in either of them (since I have, what, a couple of posts to go on?) and just a difference in playstyle with regards to how much they value certain players.))

The angel-cat peers at Filiitty and tilts her head, "Why are you purring? Did you find that funny or something?"

Okay, missed some stuff, so this is basically a RP hold post. And first day random point at...
...
...
I should actually probably read everything before pointing. So also a vote hold post!

EDIT: The striped cat walked the smallish, kitty litter streets of Catopia. It was a beautiful, the sun was warm, and it felt good on his fur. Aaaah...
While he was still settling into the town, even he was paralysed with fear merely THINKING of the kitty Reinholdt. As he strolled through the streets, he noticed that two kitties seemed to be put on wagons.
Huh.
Thinking that this must be some Catopian tradition he'd never heard of, he sauntered up and started to ask some of the kitty's building the wagon a question.
"Excuse, is it usually a tradition (Good idea) to build wagons out of what appears to be bright red wood on the first day? I highly doubt that these kitties are really Reinholdts, with barely any evidence!"
He said the kitties. He didn't really think that it was a good idea to lynch a kitty on day one, so he decided to toss some wood at a kitty that, to his knowledge, didn't have any votes (Haruki-Kun), and waited for an answer.

LoP

2014-03-12, 08:21 PM

((Anyway, I see that a pressure wagon is starting on me, which I'm fine with (as long as another pressure wagon starts on someone else, so we can get info from them AND me). I have a feeling someone is going to point out that I'm overly defensive with only 2 points (I think) on me, but this is the only time I'll be online for a while today, so I figured I might as well address it now.

I obviously don't want to get lynched Day 1, especially since (like the rest of you, of course, since we all have roles) I've got some cool tricks up my sleeve. In my opinion, and after having looked at a pool of abilities at a Mafia wiki, I'm middle lower class village in terms of usefulness, but I'm still useful. And I've got bite. I'm working on my analysis skills, but I'm learning quick, i think. Wow, this suddenly feels like a job interview.

Its day 1, so I have no info to work on that makes me point to anyone else without being random, so instead I'll just take a position on the only real discussion thats come up:

I agree with Murska that there is too much to lose by simply getting rid of experienced, dangerous players early on JUST IN CASE they are wolves/Reinholdts. I feel like its better to just watch them like kitties about to pounce: the pressure is on them, then, to contribute some meaningful analysis to the village, in a manner that other experienced players can then pick apart to see "Does this feel like the Veteran Player I'm used to?"

If they stay quiet and don't contribute, thats suspicious and ALSO not helpful, so lynch them then. But right now, its way too early for them to be of help to EITHER side, and if they are good village they will contribute eventually; if they are good wolves they will also contribute and hopefully give themselves away because, again, we should be watching them like tigers.

Hope you don't mind, but I'll send the line of inquiry right back your way, Zjoot))

Bell yawns from his rooftop nap, stretching in the warm midday sun. Looking lazily down, he watches the goings-on and goings-off of the cats down below. What to do, what to do, days were so boooring nowadays. Movement below and a spark of inspiration struck him. A grin, and Bell threw himself off the roof, sure he'd land feet-first! ...or close enough. Heh. A tumble, roll, recovery later, he shook off all shame and announced his presence to the world!

"Everyone! One and all! Ladies and gentlecats! *Ahem* hmm, how to say this There's someone among you who's not as they seem! This mole- ...no, this rat- ...no, this... this... this spyder infiltrates you under sneaky, sneaky guise! You guys can't be fooled, see this blade's cape as he really is! Not some cutting-edge fabric, but a blad escape for his true identity, a poisonous, treacherous spider! Eheheheh... and he thought he could fool me, nosirree." :smallamused:

((I think Ark was actually trying to vote for Helgraf. Particularly his RP character Renkitty, which is not Reinkitty, but rather based off Renfield.

Psst, Arkhosia, votes are usually made towards players in these games to avoid confusion and narrator headaches. Definitely Not Reinholdt might be a very rare exception because it is clear that it still means me, Reinholdt, who is not a Reinholdt. See? Clarity!

As for Murska's point, I understand it... but I disagree with it. Too easily abused to give older players a pass on the early lynchings while younger players are thrown out before getting a chance to establish themselves. I get that that isn't Murska's aim, but I can easily see it rolling that way.))

Definitely Not Reinholdt searches for a box. Only a box can satisfy right now and furthermore he's reasonably sure it can only enhance his disguise, if that snake he talked to on the way in was telling the truth.

The Cat Hatter lays at a small table in a corner. His tail slowly swishes back and forth as he enjoys his current place. He's on his back, basking in the sunlight as others around him talk. He looks to be making snow angels in a large pile of sugar for his tea. It's quite messy. At the moment, the cat really isn't suspicious of anyone. He was enjoying this sunlight far too much.

However, when the man starts rambling on about guises and wolves in the darkness, The Catter simply looks around to slowly look over the gathered cats. Mreow? Hrm....

Ok, discussionwise these two posts are standing out for me. reaverb is going for the easy kill against Reinholdt since he's definitely not Reinholdt and therefore must be Reinholdt.

And Ramsus pointing at a new player just for him being new... discussionworthy at least.

RP:

As the old cat strolls about he suddenly feels something small and furry at his legs and looks down.

Oh, a puppy! Where have you been today? I hope not in the public cat litter. Puppies tend to go to these gross places don't they? At least in my time they did. They were much more fluffier in the old days. Did I mention gross? And...

Suddenly he notices the young lad who points at him accusing him he's responsible for his gambling faults.

You? Are you serious? I told you not to do that. 100 times I told you. But would you stop? No no no. Youth today. Cannot take responsibility for their own faults. In my days, when I lost a bit I took the blow and betted anew. But today? *whiny voice* I lost all my money, it must be someone elses fault! */whiny voice*. It's never your own fault, is it? Do you agree with me, puppy? Youth today. Pah!

A rather unremarkable grey cat walked the streets of Catopia with his head held high and yellow eyes scanning the crowds. The bustle of day to day life in the greatest cat city in the world had a soothing rhythm for the one that knew to listen for it. Every once in a while a fellow pedestrian gave him a second glance even though he was the most unremarkable cat one could find. In fact one could say that he was uncommonly common.

Catopia had always been a strange place but today was even weirder if that was possible. All sorts of strange cats where roaming the streets and other creatures as well. Some of them seemed to be little puppies. What were puppies doing in a city filled with cats?

@Shrimp: Well, all I'm saying is that everyone has equal chance of being a wolf so that is not a differentiating factor - I put zero value on 'might be a wolf' when deciding who to lynch right now because of that. What I mean to say is that an experienced player on Town side is more valuable to the Town than an experienced player on Wolf side is to the Wolves. That's all.

Yeah, that is a worry. Of course, it's also something that can be addressed if we see someone attempting to abuse it in such a way, by lynching them. :)

@Helgraf: I am not convinced by any means that you are definitely a wolf. If you can present arguments for lynching someone else, I'm willing to go with it.

Gnrlshrimp

2014-03-13, 10:14 AM

Well, there you go Murska. It just seems like Helgraf disagrees with you.

Personally, it seems like too general a statement.

I would imagine some people are excellent wolves and some people are excellent townsfolk, and very few are capable of playing both roles equally well. And based on that, there may be some merit on day one to just going for someone that you really, really don't want to be a wolf.

Anyway, I imagine there's good reason for the silence but as of yet I don't believe Bladescape has said much.

Murska

2014-03-13, 10:21 AM

For obvious personal reasons, I am adverse to that line of reasoning. In addition, I feel it doesn't really work as all that is required to be a strong villager and a strong wolf is to pay attention and devote some thought.

Gnrlshrimp

2014-03-13, 10:29 AM

Well, it's not a line of reasoning I really like either, nor do I like picking on a silent person on day one. Heck, I don't like any option on day one and would probably have refrained from voting at all, but this bandwagon on Helgraf, well, if anything it feels a little mean-spirited to me.

So I might as well try to put some pressure on someone else and see if we can't draw out a better option for lynching than a simple difference of opinion.

Why is Helgraf being voted for?

Count Dingdong

2014-03-13, 11:53 AM

He voted for bladescape since he knows he's dangerous and can't be assured he's on his side (oh English and your ambiguous pronouns...). People took that as a way to get dangerous people out of the game, which is good for town if they're wolves but good for wolves if they're town. At this point, there's not much of a reason behind many of the votes, aside from people disagreeing with Helgraf (though the reverse situation is about as bad in my opinion: I don't like seeing new players die early...).

Well, being first lynch (or NK...) is always horrible, as no one wants to leave a game they just started, but there's not much evidence for anyone else. Right now we have Helgraf wagon for above reasons and bladescape wagon for "pressure" as of Gnrlshrimp. That said, bladescape's probably asleep right now, so we won't get much response from him for a few hours at least.

Murska

2014-03-13, 12:00 PM

Ark, nice Caelynn catatar.
Murska, Helgraf, and Gnrlshrimp. Y'all can save the hardcore theorizing, arguments, and explaining for the second day. It's the first day. Nobody has any valid suspicion of anyone else.

This is a common fallacy. Why would suspicions on the second day magically be more valid than ones on the first day? On the second day, we'll have more information which means we might possibly have better targets, but if we lynch randomly on day one and the wolves roll dice to kill in the night, we won't actually have any more information on the second day. And there is no fundamental difference in any case, between the information we have now and the information we will have later, there is just the quantitative difference that later we will have more of it. That does not mean we should not direct our attention today according to what we know today. The only truly random point in a game is the very first point of the very first day.*

*And even this is debatable. A counterexample: Player A knows Player B is online when game starts, and knows from previous games that as a villager Player B wants to vote very early and be loud about it, even when they're willing to change their vote later as the day develops. Player A waits for a while, but several hours later Player B still hasn't responded. So Player A puts the first vote into the thread at Player B, using the reasoning that Player B would've voted already if they were a villager.

"Hmm, that [COLOR="Red"]Rasmus[/HTML] fellow looks like he's got something to hide. I see some cats are building a wagon around a cat they're calling bladescape, but he's being pretty silent. If we leave him alone, maybe he'll just fade away on his own (be autolynched) or maybe he's in deep thought (busy with real life) in which case it would be unsporting to lynch him now and we should wait until he comes to."

OOC: Mostly-joke for the first day because
1) This is supposed to be a fun, silly, lighthearted game.
2) I don't really have any good leads ATM.

And I'll be trying to avoid a tie. If no one switches onto my wagon I'll switch onto another.

Have two people remove their voted for Helgraf and just kill of 5 or 6 cats. Seems legit.

You know, Aric chuckles, lazily opening one eye, back when I was a prince, the battles got pretty nasty. S'why I have this shield. An old family heirloom, designed to protect against scratching cats and biting dogs. I've saved many lives with this thing...
Time to nap again, Aric. Nobody wants to hear your stories.

Oh, I cast my suspicions on reaverb, because he seemed so quick to point fingers. Of course, I have now heard evidence for and against him, but I will maintain my vote. After all, it's only the first day... Aric pulls a rag and bottle of polish out of...his fur? His shield has hair all over it.

Zar Peter

2014-03-13, 03:04 PM

I'm going to switch to Zar Peter because I don't know if I've ever played with Helgraf before (if so it's been a while) and because Zar Peter singled me out, trying to make a thing out of my random vote. Also maybe I'll earn the friendship of our mystery day vote powerole. (Or at least they won't target me next.)

I didn't single you out, I said your point was discussionworthy. Fortunatley for you your reaction on my post is more like that of an angry villager than that of an rational wolf so I don't switch my finger against you although I'm very tempted.

I also agree the Ramsus vote is discussion worthy, especially seeing as he's an experienced player, so should be providing more discussion than just a random vote at a newcomer, of all people. Hrmm...
But, I think I'll stay on my original so as not to upset and make a lot of people die with a tie.

Hmm, I'd rather not lynch Helgraf as I don't see a good reason to lynch him IC or OOC. We don't have reason to think he's a Reinholdt and a lynch on him wouldn't be very entertaining.

There's still time left in the day and I'm not going to let it end in a tie. If you put a third vote on Rasmus it might change things.

And since night is coming up, I'd like to ask that any Catopians with a "vigilante" role that gives them a night kill hold their fire until they have good reason to believe that someone is a Reinholdt. Otherwise you're more likely to hit a Catopian.

I'll add to that that the Reinholdts almost certainly have a disguiser and we almost certainly have a fool, so don't trust your scry results.

While I am somewhat tempted to vote for Ramsus, I believe I remember him making the exact same kind of vote in previous games. The intention is not to lynch new players on their first day, since the vote will likely not gain traction. It's essentially a throwaway, which doesn't present much of a reason to lynch him. If I'm interpreting this wrong Ramsus, let me know.

Anyways, LoP answered my query so I'll move my vote from her and put it on Cristo Meyers. I haven't noticed anything that stands out as particularly wolfish...unfortunately the bandwagons haven't really developed enough, and I don't think they can in time for it to help much. I'll put a vote on Tom the Mime I think. I trust my hunches when it comes to Tom and my hunch this game is that he's a wolf.

Alright, so despite not being really dangerous since my return to the Playground (Rather because of my extremely limited time) I honestly take those points more on a pride moment. But when I've made it fairly abundantly clear I've been less than active so far due to my life, I find this vote:

Anyway, I imagine there's good reason for the silence but as of yet I don't believe Bladescape has said much.

Irritating. Since yes, of frigging course I haven't said much.

Anyways, since I think Shrimp hasn't played much with me, I'll let that slide.

What has pinged my radar is the rather interesting jumps on the Helgraf wagon by both Arkhosia and DLD.

I'd honestly rather get Tom the Mime than any other target right now.

Disc Lorde

2014-03-13, 08:08 PM

So... you agree with me that there's no real reason to lynch Helgraf. But then think we should lynch me instead because.... I random voted on day 1 (what a crime, nobody else did that surely) and decided we shouldn't lynch Helgraf and switched my target to someone who sounded wolfish by trying to make something out of nothing? By that obtuse logic should you not be encouraging people to lynch yourself?

Edit: Seriously, I would like to play, go bother someone who isn't contributing anything if you're that hungry to make something out of nothing.

There's no reason to be sarcastic, or to make unfounded guesses as to my motivation. Really, my only reason to vote for you was that I thought it would be fun because I could justify it IC. I don't really think you're a wolf more than Helgraf, but if I can't do something that's game-winning I could at least do something that (I think would be) fun. Look, it's a game, and someone has to be lynched, so chill out a bit please.

I was gunning for you a bit more than was warranted, and for that I apologize.

I'll put a vote on Tom the Mime I think. I trust my hunches when it comes to Tom and my hunch this game is that he's a wolf.

Huh, why? His only post was that one where he made a joke vote. Does he not normally play like that?

I'd honestly rather get Tom the Mime than any other target right now.

I don't know if I'd say that...and it is a much lighter game so even more serious players may be inclined to joke vote, but I couldn't find much through logic so I decided to go with gut for this phase and gut says Tom the Mime's our guy. If I could explain it, I would have.

Tom the Mime

2014-03-13, 09:07 PM

Just because he hasn't contributed much comparatively. At least the other targets have been talking.

On another note, I didn't realise I took more than 11 mins to post... I didn't see Zjoot's post. : |

If it wasn't for this post I would've been pointing at you given a sudden new bandwagon at the end of day one ranks as fairly suspicious early on.

I'll switch to Helgraf given that what Murska is saying about not wanting to have multiple lynches day 1 given what we know makes sense. We also know that there are double voters or vote-affecting powers/secret events given the count Banjo gave earlier not seeming to match up with the actual votes up to that point.

That'd be exactly correct. Usually (or as usual for me as anything is) on day 1 I either throw out a joke vote (a random vote based entirely on some joke I'm making) or a random vote for someone I think nobody else is likely to vote for. This is basically so that if no meaningful discussion happens on day 1, I don't wind up forgetting to vote at all. If something comes up that's actually some kind of information I think gives me a reason to change my vote, I do, and I'll generally switch off my initial target to someone else if I see an inexplicable bandwagon forming on the person I chose, since the point wasn't actually to lynch them but avoid being on the day 1 random "no YOU sir don't get to play cuz someone HAS to die" wagon. As really, I don't need people holding any kind of grudge (intentional or otherwise) against me, I already have a tendency to have people go after me for nothing much as it is. (Of course, this is all said as if I behave consistently at all, and this would be one of my most solid cases for a pattern.... and most likely I probably follow it only half the time.)

What? That's nonsense! Shoot wildly into the night! BE FREE! That's what any proper sniper should do!

Oh and yeah, I'd totally be in favor of lynching everyone in one massive tie on day 1. It'd be the funniest thing to happen since Funhouse. :smallbiggrin:

Maybe not the best idea.

Going to switch my vote to Aventine for the *blatant* random vote, cause we no super good lynch targets at the moment and since I was wrong about Arkhosia, probably not a good lynch target either.

EDIT: Or three, I guess the neutrals could have one too.

Fair enough Bladescape, my apologies. I can't emphasise enough that nothing seemed like a good option to me and I just really don't like the reasoning behind the Helgraf lynch.

Though it seems any attempt to make an alternative at this point would just put us at risk of having two people lynched.
