Octopus Overlords

Wooten! I dun called it right from go! Also I have no idea what a wooten is, but apparently my iPhone does. Perhaps it's actually German engineering...

Perfect game. Awesome!

Excellent.

Very nicely done all.

I'm interested in how the points tally up with a perfect villager victory.

Who was the Seer?

My guess for Seer was theohall. I haven't gone back to look and see if triggercut left any clue that he may have been.

What? You can't tell who the special was from my write up?

Very tricksy there.

(I get it now)

M-O-O-N spells ...

And now for the rest of the story...

Seer scans BB2112

Momma always said you were special. The village always treated you as if you were special. You’d often hear, “Look at Isgrimnur, he’s walking pretty straight today. Or that’s good Isgrimnur, you colored within the lines this time. You are soooo special.”

You were determined to use your special abilities to help Northernhart. You gave up on your ability to fly many years ago after the accident left you with a misshapened skull. You then decided to work on your ability to read minds. It never progressed very far but occasionally you thought you would catch the hint of a thought from someone.

Tonight you sit down in front the fire and look at the drawing of your momma you made a few years before she died, “I gonna make you proud, momma.” You concentrate on reading the mind of bb2112. An image of an apple cobbler pops into your head, you sit and try to decipher what that means and then you remember that Remus brought you an apple cobbler yesterday. “Guess, I’m hungry.” You get up and run to the kitchen and grab a bite of the cobbler to eat. Once your hunger was satisfied you sit down again and begin to concentrate on bb2112.

Your mind stays empty. “Maybe I’m not trying hard enough.” You think. You close your eyes, clinch your fists and strain very hard. Your eyes fly open, wide in shock, as you realize you just soiled your pants.

After changing clothes you give up on the mind reading and decide to be a seer. You sneak out of the cabin and creep over to bb2112’s home to see what he was up to. You peer through his window and you see him pacing the floor. He looks as if he was waiting on something. As you watch you see him fall to his knees, he seems to be in pain. You fight your instinct to go help him and continue to watch as he begins to transform right before your eyes. Bb2112 is a werewolf also!

The werewolf turns and looks out the window and you immediately duck down. A stench rises up to your nostrils and you realize you have soiled yourself again. You quickly crawl away from the window and run back to your cabin muttering “Momma, momma, momma” all the way home.

You slam the door and bolt it. You slide under your bed and hide there the rest of the night. You did good, the village will be proud of you again because you are sooo special. But first you must survive the night as the wolf goes on the hunt.

When you see the first shimmer of morning light you scramble from under the bed and open the door to a new day. You begin skipping to the village center; they are going to be so proud of you. You hope Remus bakes you another of his famous treats…maybe some pumpkin bread this time. As you skip you start to feel an uncomfortable burning feeling in your backside and you realize you forgot to change your trousers.

=================================
Wolf kills Triggercut
You can’t believe what just happened today. For the two centuries you have been hunting with your buddy pr0ner, you’ve never had a village stand up and take action. They have always coward in their homes or went hunting for you at night when they were at a disadvantage. This new tactic just cost you your partner and friend. You’ve heard rumors about this new tactic and now you have fallen victim to it. It has to be that damn book.
You need to destroy that book and Triggercut was the last one with it.

You sit and wait until you feel the transformation getting close. You stand up and begin pacing the floor. Many nights you dread this moment but tonight you hunger for it.

Your feel it in your fingers first and you brace yourself for the inevitable pain. When it hits, it hits hard, you fall to your knees as your body transforms.
You rise from the floor, reinvigorated and filled with rage; you catch a scent that is all too familiar, the smell of human excrement. You leave the cabin and track the scent, you pass a cabin and pause. Another scent enters your nostrils; this one triggers a memory. It is the scent of the one with the book.

You stalk to the door and you can hear him inside, you can hear his steady heartbeat and rhythmic breathing. You take a step back and then ram into the door. It splinters and the hinges break as the door crashes to the floor. You hear his heartbeat begin to race and the smell of fear reaches your nostrils as you pounce. You rip Triggercut apart limb by limb just like they did your friend. You dine on his warm innards before leaving.

As you leave the cabin you let loose a fear inducing howl to announce your presence and to let the villagers know that vengeance is upon them.

1. Remus West- 5 villager
2. pr0ner---- 1 wolf
3. Qantaga- 4 villager
4. theohall- 9 villager
5. triggercut- 7 villager
6. purge--- 6 villager
7. RMC------ 8 villager
8. bb2112---- 2 wolf
9. Isgrimnur---3 seer

Well... that felt good after screwing up the end of the last one.

Interesting that Isgrimnur scanned bb2112 and knew he was the wolf, but never really said so.

You think he would have said something. Nothing to lose, after all.

his short term memory is not so good since the accident.

Once Remus started off the votes and they kept going that way, I decided to see if I could get us there without having to announce it.

If it hadn't ended before I went to bed, I would have come out with the info to end it tomorrow.

I'll post my PMs tomorrow.

I didn't even think about it. I was just posting the impressions that I'd had and hustling back to see the end of the baseball game (congrats on living another day theohall and triggercut. Go Cards!)

Nice job village. We, apparently, were the worst wolves ever. I should have voted for Pr0ner earlier. I thought about it, but I guess I just thought that eventually things would turn away from him. After Issy put the final vote on him, I pretty much knew it was over for me. When Trig announced going after the three that did not vote for Pr0ner first, my worst fears were realized. Ah hell, I would have voted for me at that point.

I killed Trig because I really thought he was the seer, he was not playing his usual aggressive style. Isgrimnur was also not playing his usual game, but I was hoping that wasn't because he was "special" and could use it against him. Not one other person jumped on that train.

Theo, you are on fire. You were the one that turned everyone from Q to Pr0ner. That coupled with the LoTR game, mad props. Great job everyone.

Laser thanks for running, awesome write ups, as usual.

Thanks guys. At least your comments make me feel like I'm not totally worthless.

bb2112 wrote: Laser thanks for running, awesome write ups, as usual.

I just noticed I never did Triggercut's death write up that I would have sent him...the damn wolf waited so long to get his night order in and I forgot.

It was the two quotes from Day One about pr0ner when you were saying you could change your vote, but would prefer not to do so which was the only reason I voted for you. Had you not added that second post, I probably would have looked elsewhere on Day Two. It just looked like you knew something about pr0ner you shouldn't have known.

That being said - Isgrimnur nailed you after Day One, anyway, so whatever I did would not really have mattered.

Good game, though.

I really want to scan triggercut after that screw up in the math of the game, but I don't see him pushing his partner to n-1 when there's still time for things to turn around.

I'm going to scan bb2112. He's likely just misguided, but I want to make sure

I'd be perfectly happy if theo or RMC would just end it now. It's not like I want this to go on through the weekend.

Yeah, thanks for making me sweat and make an ass of myself in my last couple of posts. You should have just put a (silver) bullet in the back of my head and let the game end. You did everything but yell, "Dance, monkey, dance!"

As much as Remus hates me in these games, he would have at least made it quick.

BTW, funny set of posts between you and Lassr. Thanks for posting, I needed a laugh today.

I don't hate you. I just have a twisted sense of humor (as though you did not already know that) and find it funny to get you lynched early. I used to do that with Chaosraven but I got over it. It will pass for you too, little one.

In the spirit of full disclosure, here are my interactions with Lassr:

Yeah, yeah, say whatever you need to soothe your guilty conscious.

And hey, I just noticed you used to and too correctly! My little boy is growing up.

I feel no guilt about it. You know me better than that.

I'm working on it.

Game 3:

Remus West +3 (see above)
theohall +2
triggercut +2
Isgrimnur +2

triggercut killed overnight.

bb2112 lynched. Wolf.
Remus West +4 (successful lynch, +1 leadership, +1 consistency kicker)
Isgrimnur +4 (See above)
purge +3 (successful lynch, +1 consistency)
theohall +3 (see above)

Village wins.

Remus +2
Isgrimnur +2
RMC +2
purge +2
triggercut +2
theohall +2
Qantaga +2

Wolves lose.

pr0ner -3
bb2112 -3

Remus: +9 (I think that's the perfect score for a villager. Kudos!)
Isgrimnur +8
theohall +7
RMC +5
purge +5
triggercut +4
Qantaga +2
pr0ner -3
bb2112 -3

Poor theohall! He was early on both successful trains on pr0ner and bb2112...jumped off...and then jumped back on. Cost himself 2 points and a perfect score! (He outscored me though, so what do I know...)

Check for accuracy, working on cumulative totals through 3 games!

How did Isgrimnur get the Leadership bonus on the second day? Isn't that a one person/lynch type bonus? Should he have Purge's score?

Page 3 of the WW thread. First two villagers get leadership.

First two on a successful lynch vote get the leadership bonus.

Second day, Remus voted, theohall voted, Isgrimnur voted. Theohall pulled his vote off, purge put his vote on, theohall put bb2112 in the noose.

Ah, thought it was just the first one to vote. My bad.

Damn it, theohall. If you had just stuck to your guns I could have surpassed Isgrimnur for the overall lead.

Remus West wrote:Damn it, theohall. If you had just stuck to your guns I could have surpassed Isgrimnur for the overall lead.

Heck, I should only be 1 point behind you, instead of 3 if I would've stuck to my guns. But who sits on their first vote on the first day? Anyway, I'm surprised to actually be that high in the standings. Interestingly, just won a "league-like" game over on GT as a villager. Was very fortunate tru1cy trusted me on the last day after I convinced him to kill a villager on the penultimate day.
