Octopus Overlords

I also think we should stop here until Holman makes a decision on the game.

I say we scrap it and start over. Moliere shouldn't have spoken while dead; it was Holman's prerogative to manage the situation. Also, it was non-halal for triggercut to characterize his PM from Holman so specifically.

Hey, if Holman does call the game, before he announces the roles, why not have a top 3 list to at least see who gets the closest?

I agree, plus I will let him start a new immediately instead of going into my BSG game. I loved his write-ups.

Wow, odd turn of event, I can see why a mistake was made but I agree he shouldn't have said anything.

I'm fine with a restart or not , odds are we're not going to win

I didn't think there was anything wrong with Trig's characterization of the PM - all he said was that his was clear and unambiguous - which would have been true whatever his role.

It would be funny if you restart and Moilere ends up as Cheryl.

Yeah, I absolutely didn't disclose anything in my characterization of my PM that seemed un-kosher to me. I figured we all probably got some PM worded roughly the same way telling us what team and what role or non-role we had. Seemed boilerplate to me.

I was very careful with how I described it and the language I used to describe it so that it didn't sound as if I was trying to spoof a PM either way.

Hi guys, I'm here. I was out most of the day doing errands, so I apologize for not commenting earlier. If you saw me listed as present on the board, it's because I had my browser parked here.

When I saw Moliere claiming Cheryl before my weekend trip, I assumed he was trying to draw out assassins. Only after I offered to spoil did I realize that he had mixed his first role with the later correction. I didn't even remember that he had first been Cheryl until it was too late.

So, while he mixed the roles, I feel responsible for the original Slack issue that caused a confusing reset. I also think a better moderator would have inquired earlier as to what Moliere was doing. I feel that I've botched things enough to be responsible.

I think it would be possible for people to continue from the present game state, but I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to. I also think it would suck unless it were unanimous.

What do people want to do? If it's a wrap, I can spoil the roles and my perspective and chalk it up to lessons learned. I think the game is moving towards an interesting final stage, although I can't say more without giving things away.

What would you like to do?

I'd definitely be up for a restart, but I would understand if people want to get on to the next theme.

Incidentally, I wrote to Moliere and asked him whether he would like to comment on a role mix-up or let me do it, so he wasn't acting outside of the rules there.

Can I participate in this discussion even though I'm dead? FWIW I have not been spoiled on anything.

El Guapo has not been spoiled!

I like the roles and setting.

I'd love a restart with entirely new roles.

I think that this game has been somewhat spoiled, but I also think it should be counted as an Assassin win. They played very well, and should be given credit for doing so.

So maybe not a "restart", since that implies no result in this game. Call it a rematch, same players, different roles, same setting.

Assassins win this one because they were well ahead and had lapped Isis on the track.

This. I went from Cheryl to regular villager, but had it in my head that I was still Cheryl.

Scoop20906 wrote:Ok, well, now we know.

Is it in the game bounds for someone to pull a "Moliere" and still have that be part of the game. I mean, Moliere should not even be able to announce this information since the mistake was entirely his and he was dead. UGH....

Yeah,
Ugh

I vote restart.

Plus before you spoil let us guess the bad team.

When the morning broke I thought it was Triggercut, RMC and Remus but now I think RMC, Remus and Grund

I am happy to restart if folks want. I've had fun so far.

I'll wait for more feedback, but in the meantime, does anyone have any complaints or suggestions about the rules/roles?

if there is a restart; please add time limits, so that way day 1 doesn't become such a grinding monotonous newcastle spam of posts

There are 2 potential missed lynches in the current rules. (that is an Enormous gain for the wolves really)
With the 3rd assassin, the seer scans are only half effective...

So, IMO I think the rules have some mild imbalances.
Just IMO, of course, but I thought this was going to be a wolf win because of those two things..

I will also mention that I think you are playing with fire giving Everyone a named-role.
(I know you've asked that everyone keeps quiet on their name, but you see how well we pay attention)

A restart is fine with me. I love the write ups and I think that everything is perfect.

Really a good(nay, GREAT) overall first game for you Holman, I have no complaints about anything that you did.

The reveal gives everyone some hiding, and or proof of whom they are, and things play out differently if roles did not get mixed up.

And I say El Guapo is okay to contribute, but he has to use yittish and legalese in all his sentences.

FWIW I think it would be fine to keep going, but that doesn't appear to be the majority sentiment. I would certainly be fine with restarting, seeing as how I would then become alive again.

My guesses (at the start of the day) when I found out that I was dead were: (1) Grund or Trig, but not both; (2) Vorret; and (3) RMC or Lassr. With the information from Trig, though, I guess I would go with Grund, Vorret, and RMC.

Yittish?

I think the game is too tainted now; With the dead contributing thoughts. We could play but it would be a victory with an asterisk...

We can't continue this game without unanimity, so it's either a restart or moving on to the BSG game I think folks were waiting for.

Yeah, that makes sense. I'm fine with either restarting this or doing BSG.

It sounded funny in my head. And I like the word tchotchke, which I think is yiddish.. Okay, it is double DD and not TT.

I would go with Scoop, wolf1, and wolf2

And I am wrong on at least one of those...

Because as Scoop would say, I am the devil.

I'd like you to do this again if you have time. Archer is a perfect setting for these games.

Hey, me too!

Or anything, really. Whatever seems meet.

My guess: Scoop, Vorret, bb2112

This is the part that seemed hinky to me-- a shade too meta-- but I can see and grant your point. Chalk it up to... phrasing.

I can see that.

FWIW, I originally used other words besides "noontime" and "revision" when I was typing the post, but at the time thought I'd be fighting a sure lynching of myself for claiming to be Cheryl and thought, "Someone's going to point out that the phrasing," (there it is AGAIN!) "In trig's post doesn't match the PMs at all..."

I was in such bafflement at the time, I'm afraid I decided to choose the hard place rather than the rock.

FWIW, I was willing to vouch for you today.

Anyone else have a guess at the assassins?

I'll leak the roles whenever you like.

Interesting. We had a Cheryl and a Cheryl imposter. I was convinced Trig was a bad guy, but due to Moliere's mistake the game takes a whole new angle. Trig is confirmed as Cheryl, the bad guys did not get a role last night, I would assume, and the game is totally upside down.

I will go with the majority on either keep playing or to try this again with better reading comprehension.

Before Moliere's come back from the dead declaration my top three were:

Trig
Scoop
RMC (depending on the reveal I might have switched to Lassr as my third, but RMC would have to been pretty believable)

This would have lost us the game as I would have been hammering at Trig like there is no tomorrow (and there probably wouldn't have been).

Now it would have to be:

Scoop
RMC (see above)
Lassr (didn't like his last vote on Moliere. The village should not have pulled that trigger.)

Still would like RMC TO REVEAL.
And if Malory is still alive, I would still like to hear from her please.
