*** A Den of Wolves -- GAME THREAD ***

A Den of Wolves Final Write-Up:

Roles:

You are the wolf members of the Mu Clan within the Omega Den in the vast Olympian Forest.
- dodint is the Alpha of the Mu Clan in the Omega.
- The other members are willeyeam, slappybrown, and CBear3.
- Due to the paucity of players, you have only ONE night kill. Only ONE for the game. Since this is a socialistic collective of wolves, that kill must be agreed upon by at least 50% of your clan, such as they are at the time of the kill.
- You may freely PM with the others in your clan.
--------------------------------------
You are the wolf members of the Nu Clan within the Omega Den in the vast Olympian Forest.
- Silentom is the Alpha of the Nu in the Omega.
- The other members are NAN, MWB, and Willie Kool.
- Due to the paucity of players, you have only ONE night kill. Only ONE for the game. Since this is a socialistic collective of wolves, that kill must be agreed upon by at least 50% of your clan, such as they are at the time of the kill.
- You may freely PM with the others in your clan.
--------------------------------------
Gaucho, you are the SNAKE in the Den.
- Your goal is to survive to be the last living player.
- You have one power: an automatic save. Day or night, if you are targeted, you will not die. But only once.
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------

Private PMs:

slappybrown, you are a wolf and can communicate as stated before, but you want to be THE WOLF. Therefore, you are working for yourself.

So, in a nutshell:

- dodint
- willeyeam
- slappybrown
- CBear3

could communicate, but slappybrown and CBear3 were each working for themselves.

- Silentom
- NAN
- MWB
- Willie Kool

could communicate, but MWB and WK were each working for themselves.

Gaucho was an independent with one automatic save, day or night.

The actions were minimal:

- Mu clan tried to kill Gaucho. It failed because of his one automatic save.
- Nu Clan killed CBear3.

When it came down to three, I gave each a kill.

I would post the triple duel scene from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, but I assume embedding still doesn't work.

That was a fun read. Good going, dudes.

[Silentom]

That was fun to play in and follow. Props, redwill.

I had a feeling Gaucho was an indie. I should follow my instincts more often.

[willeyeam]

so slappy was not loyal to us

[Silentom]

Yus. You and dodint were the only loyals. NAN was my loyal.

[redwill]

so slappy was not loyal to us

The only loyalties were you/dodint (in the Mu Clan) and Silentom/NAN (in the Nu Clan).

Gaucho:

- Constantly participating, yet maintaining a low enough profile until the end, when he won the triple duel.

Perfect performance for an independent.

Congratulations again for a wonderful win.

[Gaucho]

[MWB]

Thanks for the game, good stuff. I tried to get NAN to help me out, but he just ignored me. Then wanted to get a quick vote on NAN to start the next day phase, but WK beat me to it.

[CBear3]

Gaucho:

- Constantly participating, yet maintaining a low enough profile until the end, when he won the triple duel.

Perfect performance for an independent.

Congratulations again for a wonderful win.

Could he be killed at night, or was it just dumb luck that saved himself the night we tried to kill him.

[dodint]

The first kill on him was going to be an auto save.

Had WK tried to kill him at the end it would have worked.

[Willie Kool]

Had WK tried to kill him at the end it would have worked.

Or, you know, you could have killed him...

If anything, I would have killed you. I didn't know if everyone got a kill or just me, so I figured on saving it and hoping we could vote Gaucho out and then kill you the next night.

[dodint]

I 100% thought each of us got a kill and it was a Mexican standoff. I considered not killing anyone but figured there was no chance at least one of you wouldn't poison me. I wonder what would've happened if we all waited.

Already having a failed kill on Gaucho I didn't want to risk it again. That's a huge thing to have in a game this small with so few kills, auto-immunity.

[slappybrown]

thanks redwill that was fun. dodint what was up with your loyal to the village BS

I was given:

You sit in the snow in the quiet forest and stare at the full Moon.

She stares back at you. It seems that the Moon is giving you a message.

It comes to you that the Moon is saying

"You have a loyal member among your clan."

I took it to mean that one of my clan was loyal to the village. The slappy failed to make an easy kill the first day so I took it to mean that he was disloyal to the clan and needed killin'. Which also provided cover to me in the end, which he played up to his benefit, so it wasn't too difficult of a decision.

Wish Cbear had made it one more phase though.

I really did just get pulled away on that day phase. Its funny how little things like that can impact the game.

I was tempted to come out the next day and say I was green and found you to be red, but figured there was a seer with probably limited powers (mayeb 1 or 2 views) so I would get busted, plus I didnt want to derail the game and figured it would be more fun to push it to the limit and save everyone if possible. I was loyal to myself -- not the village like you said -- but figured helping the wolves (at that point obv assuming only one clan) was the preferable choice over the village.

Great game redwill

[slappybrown]

Oh well. slappy's indecisiveness was horseshit anyway. Plant/grow, n'at.

Again, not intentional. You are, however, welcome for my service.

[dodint]

Some thoughts:

I started off with a pretty standard Werewolf game. Few people were signing up, so I re-thought it.

I had the idea for a while that I would randomly choose two captains and, like elementary school, they would take turns picking their team. I may still do that in the future, but for some reason I was put off it this time. There was some tricky bit I couldn't find a solution to. I forget what it was.

However, I went with the two teams concept. But then thought, bleh, needs more interest. How about a traitor in each team? Hell, how about two traitors in each team?? COOL!!

Then a ninth player signed up, so I added the SNAKE.

With only nine players I couldn't have many night kills. So only one per team. CHOOSE WISELY! How weird was it that the Mu Clan used their ONE kill on the ONE player who had only ONE save? Just bad luck.

Also, I wanted the traitors in the group to have a say in the group's decision, thus the 50% rule.

Finally, I can't say how happy I was that the final three were from differing factions. I loved that.

Congratulations again for a wonderful win.

That makes 3 all time independent wins?

[redwill]

That makes 3 all time independent wins?

Well, 5/9 were independents, so this game is a bit of an outlier.

[columbia]

Ok, so we’re still 1337.

[redwill]

If it makes you happy, then sure.
