DEAD PLAYER CHAT EXTREME!!

I feel a bit guilty about my power, as we had a hidden protection circle set up really early on, and we were all quite active in the first few days. Then I'm unfortunately I travelled abroad, to meet a close friend I'd not seen in five years, and my activity had to tail right off.

I was in touch with Qikz, Zilnad, and Vermi and I feel like we could have really done something with Pedz and myself in that circle, but it never really worked out that way. Vermi really fell apart with the handling of the crossbow, though I think this wasn't helped by it basically being the night we all twigged killing wasn't working the same way. He unfortunately bore a lot of the brunt of that (unless he is a wolf, in which case Zilnad and I really strawberry floated up).

Zilnad and I were in touch almost from the very first night. I was really hoping for a lynch vote on Day Zero, so I could vote for the lynch favourite, get them protected and then reveal myself. As it happened, I couldn't do that but my first pick was spot-on as Zilnad got attacked on Day One.

Nun's relentless, and slightly hypocritical, pursuit of me was annoying. He kept accusing me of not stating opinions on the thread, which I had been doing (in fact, Red had already accused me of being suspicious due to being fairly firm in my believes and not flim-flamming). At this point, I really felt like suspicions were not based on evidence but based on emotive responses and people just wanted to believe what they wanted to. And the Nun praised Red for three opinions she had stated in the thread... which I had already stated in the thread myself. The fact that I was travelling and busy robbed me of time to reply, but when I did call this out, suspicion of me persisted anyway. I accepted that my name was going to come up from Nun, Rocsteady and a few others (and I obviously knew they were wrong).

Also slightly annoying was that before we assigned our role, I pinpointed the time my activity would fall off and that I'd be abroad, but I guess this didnt registered with anyone who later found this suspicious or surprising. It is a shame that I wasn't able to be more active, as I know other players were working hard behind the scene. Not least of all, Qikz, who gets an unfair rep at times but has been trying to move things forward and rally sometning of a villager cause.

I've typed too much, and had too much wine, but it has been a really fun game. Personal circumstances meant I had to dip out a bit for the part couple of days, but I enjoyed the core mechanic and DML's attempts to mix it up.

EDIT - Pedz, I kept my power a secret from you, as Zilnad was my "proof" and we felt best to keep him separate from you. I'm had a feeling you were actually the Seer and not the middle man, but didn't push this as it involved the same amount of trust anyway when you messaged me and Qikz stating we had been Seered by your contact.

I could have protected you, as I protected Vermi after Zilnad. We set up the mayor run on Day 2 to give him the crossbow bolts and then several layers of protection (the crossbow immunity, then he'd be mayor, then maybe a lynch candidate and finally my protection). Vermi really struggled with her responsibility of so much kill power (I was advocating using fewer bolts) and also I think he was a victim of the new kill/HP mechanic pulling the rug from under everyone's feet (and this being a byproduct of his shooting).

It's a shame, as we had the makings of a decent circle, had things played out a little differently.

Seer circles kill these games for me. A group assumes control and then largely ignores anything anyone else is doing, patting themselves on the back despite in this case spending more time getting their own side killed.


Not that I'm bitter of course!

More than anything I'm just annoyed I didn't find a good time to use this gif I knocked up:

Cheers Mocky! While a villager I was trying to stay sus enough so the wolves wouldn't off me but then helpful enough so the villagers wouldn't. I think I toed the line well enough, shame Vermi got his itchy trigger finger on that crossbow.

Upon respawning the wolves couldn't risk me being a seer. A shame as I would have had a lot of fun with being the lone wolf, I'd just infiltrated Qikz' gang in the last hour (hence me rapidly trying to change my night orders, DML - once Qikz got in touch I figured I'd try and gain his trust so changed what I sent you).

You bastard. Sure glad everyone picked me for the lynch because #errorreasonnotfound.

How did you infiltrate a trusted circle with a seer?

My suspicions of you weren't particularly strong which is why I only poked at you once. You just seemed to come out of nowhere with a lengthy and specific post one day and then disappear again.

Not sure about Nun though. I'm always suspicious of anyone who agrees with me hard because my thoughts aren't really based on anything except hunches (Pancake also fits this).

I always think it's mad when people bring Qikz into the circle of trust early on because he's not exactly famed for his analytical mind but he ends up running everything.

Hey hey! Werewolf here. Don't make my time in the afterlife miserable. It was just a job.

It was certainly a fun one. I think my guesses regarding the game changers were woefully wrong, considering I said there'd be just one powerful gun able to do a deathing to death, yet instead everyone who gets into prison can be a wannabe vigilante. Absolute chaos that caused, and I have a feeling more will be coming today with whatever this game changer turns out to be.

Thanks for running, DML! Been a great one!

N,ot sure if inappropriate for this thread due to leaks risk so might require a DML check but am I allowed to ask/does anyone know if I was offed by a wolf or by a villager bolt/bullet?

All will be revealed at the end of the game. I have all causes of deaths written down.

I should have said I was the seer instead of the first contact, that's on me

Thank god they have taken it back to secret PM circle. Other people almost started having fun and being involved!

I agree with those saying it's going to be a disaster. There's no way this brings about the result they're hoping for. And the wolves also have no reason to lie. Let's see what happens, however.

You bastard. Sure glad everyone picked me for the lynch because #errorreasonnotfound.

How did you infiltrate a trusted circle with a seer?

Sorry I think you misunderstood. I was a villager the whole game u til I was accidentally killed, then DML brought me back with a random role (lone wolf,which I was for 1 day).

It was only the last hour of my life that I infiltrated Qikz' circle. The seer was dead at that point.

I feel like it might have been a good time to die because I don't think I could go along with this plan. But I am absolutely here for the carnage that comes next.

Take a shot for every time Qikz mentions he's in a Secret Circle in a post.

I would, but I don't have that much alcohol to hand

Ah ok understood. That sucks

DML, Nothing fun/exciting has happened for at least 3 hours, please can youresolve?

Many thanks

So how many AYAWs have I missed over the last 8 years?
