The wolves are going to lie and the town needs to preserve themselves.

@Zell 17 can you save time and post everyone’s roles? Then we can have a competition to see how kills off the other side first. Do the wolves kill the ritualist or the tough guy first? Or do the start with the roles not worth protecting
I've been in enough internet arguments to know that when mockery is being employed, there's some truth being covered up. :D
why is it, th at every time someone in a wolf game lays out a grand plan involving forcing others to role claim, they're afraid to put their money where their mouth is.

why can't you just tell us right now?
Why would you want me to out my specific role just yet? I already said there's no benefit to doing it today. You're just reaching because you need to know exactly whether I'm worth the kill tonight.

Well, kill me and prove me right, or wait until tomorrow and let me give my proof then.
I mean, that would also happen due to the fact that a person is dead
If we don't know their role/role type, then we can't know where to look next. If we divide the town into role types, we know whether a guaranteed or random role was eliminated, and it can help to inform our decisions.

Kelly, TD raised a good point, well, sort of.

may be you ARE the fan. maybe you are being so aggressive because you wanna be checked. you'll read as good and let everyone think you're trust worthy.

then you claim an unverifiable role, (I'd choose librarian), and be pretty smooth sailing from there.

meanwhile, getting guaranteed roles to put themselves and be targets for wolf strike instead of you.

hell, potential berseker and you could set up a double kill.
Funny how you can use your logic when it suits your narrative. Still pretty hackeneyed logic, but better than what you've been saying so far.

I get where you're coming from, but that wouldn't be a good idea because ritualist and marksman are important roles. As the game develops, these roles will be revealed naturally, and help us home in on the wolves further.
To be clear, I'm NOT suggesting we out those two roles, because that would be stupid. I was saying your plan doesn't work unless they're outed, which we don't want. Yeah they may get revealed by using their ability, or maybe they'll get killed and covered up by the confusion wolf. Which is easier for the wolves to do if we narrow down who has a guaranteed role.

I feel like I'm beating a dead horse at this point.

The plan does work though. It forces baddies to choose whether they are guaranteed or random. As people are eliminated, it helps us decide which category is better to lynch from.

Yes there is the possibility that some guaranteed roles were also chosen from the random pool, but it doesn't matter that much.

Scenario:
  • We have 2 aura seers.
  • They both claim guaranteed.
  • We have 1 wolf claim guaranteed as well.
  • (This would mean the random roles would have 4-5 wolves among them, making the randoms a better target for lynching with ~50% odds, but I digress)
  • We suddenly have 8 guaranteed roles.
  • We (stupidly) lynch from the guaranteed roles, and misfire.
  • Turns out we lynched an aura seer!
  • OPTION A: The other aura seer could come out and say "hey guys, I'm actually an aura seer too so there's probably only one wolf in this list"
  • OPTION B: The other aura seer says nothing because they think it would look suspicious and make them a target
  • Another target is killed at night from the guaranteed list!
  • This PROVES that that player was a guaranteed role
  • We're down to 6 guaranteed roles still living, among which could be one or two wolves, which STILL makes the random roles better for lynching

This also stops wolves from killing everyone on the guaranteed list, because if they do, they expose their wolf members who claimed guaranteed. They have to split their kills between guarantees and randoms.

And if more info comes out (role claims, etc.) it helps to narrow the list down further.

@Smacktard what were the criteria for your Sus list given everyone hadn't posted
People who are normally quite logical arguing against a strategy which I believe to be the town's most logical shot at success -- especially so if they use faulty logic

It doesn't exonerate people who already have their role type, but it's my best hunch to go on for now.

Did you feel any of the return arguments as to why people didn't want to follow your plan had any merit?

Kat's felt the most genuine of them all, but the only way we are going to be able to target a baddie is if people start role claiming, otherwise we're shooting at the hip -- and in a game where we can't afford to, at that.

I gave a way to claim without saying your specific role, and suddenly in a game where there are at least 3 or 4 people who role claim a specific role day 1, there's a huge bloc of people unwilling to help the town narrow down leads and are trying to mount a lynch against me while admitting I am likely a townie? Seems sus.

If you really think I'm sus, wait until day 2 and feel free to lynch me all you want.

To be fair, I don't have strong feelings either way I'm just taking the opportunity to understand your thoughts while we are both here before the others get back and the chaos restarts

So historically we've seen that in Wolf games, the more information that is publicly available, the better it is for the town.

Kelly puts forth a plan that would present lots of information for the town to use. This is immediately met by pushback by people who don't provide anything of value of their own, just a lot of reasons why we  shouldn't provide information to the town.

Good morning, I'm not reading 5 pages of posts until I've made coffee, so I dunno what's going on yet. But I bought a dozen good eggs last night so I'm also going to make a baller omelet.

So an aggressive move out of the gate to force the wolves to kill you so you can join them.

It's a nice play.
Could also be the wolves/sorcerer saying I'm good because they know I'm not a wolfie, but that would be a gamble if I were neutral.

I'm pretty confident that even if we lose our aura seer tonight we're not in a bad position as long as townies keep claiming and wolves keep delaying/complaining.

Also if I were a wolf, I would be discouraging people from these soft claims and either encouraging strong claims or no claims so that I can benefit from the confusion wolf + lack of town info... which is exactly what the wolves are doing.

Shortkut is the solo killer
