Wolf Coin: A Dresden Files Mafia Game

[Batcathat]

The White Council of Wizards have gathered at their Edinburgh headquarters. An ordinary day, this would mostly entail loud disagreements in Latin. Today, there will be slightly more murder, betrayl and possible ends to the Laws of Magic than usual.

According to supposedly reliable sources, the impregnable castle has been infiltrated by the Order of the Blackened Denarius. They have sent a few of their coins – each containing a fallen angel – to trusted members of the White Council. Some of them fell to temptation, others were simply worn down, but in the end all of them fell under the Fallen's control and set out to infiltrate the White Council. After learning of the Denarians' plan, the Senior Council declared martial law and tasked the Wardens with executing anyone suspected of carrying one of the fallen angels.

In response, the Denarians appear to have decided that if they cannot control the White Council – they might as well destroy it, and the first to die was none other than the (in)famous Wizard of Chicago.

Batcathat has died, they were Harry Dresden.

Spoiler: Role Description

Oh yeah, I should've included a player list shouldn't I? I'd do it now, but it seems a little unnecessary when there are already two of them.

For their trouble, flat and AV get 20 batbucks each (they can be redeemed for any item in the Unfindable Gift Shop of Doom).

[Rogan]

I should return the favor for using forbidden magic on me, but AV was faster.
Plus, I think you should bold the vote.

Now, can I convince anybody to sign up for a Book Wombat wagon?

Honestly yeah. I've been planning to start with Book Wombat. So even though I'm not a fan of a wagon with a only three total votes, I'm in to try one. Now to go open my role PM.

[bladescape]

Snowblaze

Try..... 4? 5?

I don't even remember anymore

[gac3]

I missed that flat posted somehow. Correct that to four total.

[Snowblaze]

We already have a wagon, so I'll OMGUS bladescape. Just give up, it's easier.

Also my activity will be pretty intermittent for the next couple of RL days but I should be able to dig into things starting D2 if I'm alive.

[JeenLeen]

There's a wagon already on one quiet player, so I'll add a second vote on flat_footed to see if both get talking.

Every night you are alive, a building will catch on fire. It's probably not your fault.

So, if a building burns down N1, let's consider if we should kill the narrator in case of a bastard play.
Or... since no Denarius, does this mean the Narrator might be a secret townie instead of a secret wolf/serial killer and we shouldn't kill them. Eh, hopefully no night fires and we don't have to care.

- - - Updated - - -

On my activity level: my wife's going out of town Friday through Monday, and it's me and the kids, so I will be online relatively little this weekend. Should be able to be on Friday afternoon and Monday afternoon, and check in nights if the baby goes to sleep without mama. (It's his first time away from her, so... might will be rough.)

[Zelphas]

Oof, Dresden dead immediately. Well, that will make things calmer... maybe.

The random d15 roll landed on 4, so according to the first player list posted that's bladescape. This is, of course, subject to change.

Idk if two votes counts as a wagon but if so, four wagons already. Wow.

And I'm fairly sure BCH isn't as bastard a narrator as AV.

Ah! Snowblaze. What a pleasant, nay: lovely surprise it is to find you here, and in good health, even. Now, if I may have but a minute of your time, please do allow me to reminisce for a moment. The two of us, we have some business that, while not unfinished, was resolved in a manner I found thoroughly unsatisfying at the time. You might not remember much of it: it happened long ago, after all. But, you see, I am anything but forgetful. You used me. You abused my gift.

Back then, I gave my life to frustrate your efforts. This time around, on the other hand, I am not in what you could describe as a giving mood. Instead I shall take something. Something that is dear to you. And then, well, then and only then all shall be, if not forgiven, at the very least forgotten. So smile! Great things are to come. Great things indeed!

I also regret the way those events ended. Though not sufficiently that I will simply allow you to take what is mine. You want your revenge? Fight for it. You will lose.

(Sorry if that was a Dresden Files speech; I haven't read them so can't give a suitable response.)

(Context: town!Meta gave a consensus-townread wolf!me permanent nightkill immunity and since I then became immune to the lynch he had to die to kill me.)

Slight distancing between wolf!gac3 and wolf!Cao, or just gac3 innocently pointing out Cao's mistake. Which I admit does seem off for him, and the timestamps don't make it look like just a post was written while Cao was writing one.

The flat_footed wagon is a bit too big for my taste now for early D1 randomness, so I'll shift to CaoimhinTheCape

[CaoimhinTheCape]

Huh, I just got everything wrong didn't I?

Caoimhin, Farmerbink, reasons for your flat votes? (Also, Farmerbink, do you have a preferred nickname?)

I wanted to vote someone who already had a vote. Didn't want to vote Rogan since I helped push a mislynch on him Day 1 last game, didn't vote Snowblaze for saying she'd be away for a good amount of Day 1, wanted to give Book a chance to post (and I feel like pressure votes on Book haven't helped too much in the past), and just didn't feel like voting for blade.

Book Wombat

Just a placeholder until more discussion and BW deigns to contribute.

[Book Wombat]

I am here!
And the die rolls for Metastache (name somehow reminds me of a mustache, is it just me?).

Well, let's see if I can summon someone else.

The cowled figure nods, his expression completely hidden by the broad hood of his cloak. A nearly imperceptible chuckle billows from beneath the folds of the robe.

The non-answer of this answer (though excellent roleplaying) makes me suspicious that perhaps Farmerbink is wolf and his scumbuddies told him how we don't lynch new players D1 without really good reason. (Or at least such was the metagame when I stopped playing about a year ago, and I assume it's the same now that I've resumed games.) He could be staying quiet to give no info to us, while essentially being shielded from a lynch.

On the other hand, there being almost no reason makes sense D1 (as none of us have any info), and I can see someone wanting to create a high-count wagon to see how folk react and to get real discussion going early on. Though it seems odd not to admit such.
So not really sure how to take this.

If flat_footed flips wolf, then Farmerbink is probably town. Even though it's possible votes will shift a lot, I don't see a wolf putting a 4th vote on a wolf in hopes that the wagon disspates before Day's end. And I do like deaths to yield some intel, which flat_footed's death might now actually do... still, not gonna shift my vote back to flat_footed (at least yet).

Caoimhin, Farmerbink, reasons for your flat votes?

Snowblaze, thank you for asking this.
I could see a wolf asking a scumbuddy this, but I think one wouldn't draw attention. I lean town on Snowblaze if either of those flip wolf. But if they flip town, doesn't mean anything for Snowblaze's alignment: a wolf would be fine drawing suspicion on townies, and a townie could legitimately ask townies.
