Human Victory

Game Summary
The action was pretty good leading up to the start of the game, starting a bit as far back as when I first posted it in the sign-ups a few games ago. Player sign-ups brought some questions to me that indicated that this game would develop far better than I would've hoped. And boy, did all of you not let me down!

Night 1:
Verm began by trying to form some sort of voting alliance, only to realize that his plan hinged on the wolves knowing each other, only to realize later that they did not. Verm and Bird later caught the Master Wolf (SocialFox) on the first night by getting him to trip up in the chat. Once this came to light, in combination with Dude's death, people proceeded to lynch Social the next day.

Wolfed – Dude (socialfox), Seered – Social (blueflower)

Day 1:
Here is where all the fun began. A flurry of deals found their way to the top offices of M's Super Emporium Inc. (located on the lower east side of Dis, near the outlet of Styx), with numerous propositions by our dear Avian friend, Bird, eventually deciding to jump from the wolf's ship as it rapidly approached the oncoming iceberg. Finding his situation grim, Social only dug his hole deeper, leading to his lynching.

Lynched: SocialFox

Night 2:
Not much happened outside of the usual nightly activities, Waddle struck a deal revealing all of the red players.
Wolfed – BDS (davy); Seered – davy (bluflower999); Guarded – (Sheikah)

Day 2:
Waddle's above list proved to be quite problematic, as that was the point where players began to really realize how these deals would come back to bite them (oh, I had so much fun!). Bubbles tried to change her color, but it was all in vain.

Lynched: Bubbles7689

Night 3:
More fun with lists, more fun with deals, more fun with death! Most nocturnal action from this point on would be carried through deals or other means by PM. See the list of finalized deals below to get an idea of action from behind the scenes.

Wolfed – Waddle Bro (verm); Seered – FSM-Reapr (blueflower999); Guarded – davy (Sheikah)

Day 3:
FSM and davy broke their contracts by extensively talking about one of davy's deals. Bird figured out the gzg was responsible for the list posted Night 3 and that verm was a wolf based on the list posted prior to that (Night 1).

Lynched: gzgregory

Night 4:
Wolfing – Blue (verm); Seering – none (blue); Guarding – shadowkirby (sheikah)

Day 4:
Verm posted a list trying to make him look innocent; Bird saw right through it, but the other players were more interested in taking out shadowkirby.

Lynched: shadowkirby

Night 5/Day 5:
Because verm lost the ability to wolf, nobody died Night 5. Bird lead a quick lynch against verm, winning the game for the humans.

Player Analyses
1. The Boy Who Cried Wolf
Several times you made deals to warn you if anybody every acted against you (wolfed, serr, etc.). This was about the only thing you did of note all game, as you just sat back and followed the other player's leads. This all proved to be in vain, as nobody was ever interested in you, at all.

2. Bubbles 7689
You weren't prominent until your name came up in the list revealing all reds. That, combined with your inactivity and practically no existent defence lead to your lynching.

3. Vermilionvermin
You got saddled with a large burden by being turned into a wolf, but you really handled the evidence against you pretty poorly. Once people began to realize that this least were telling more than they let on, you tried to use that to your advantage, and it only staved off your own demise. At any point did you think to change yourself back, paint yourself, or try to flip those lists in any other way than "I was briefly a wolf"? If you did I must have missed the logs. Hell, it was really as simple has "Hay, Mephy-dear, could you stop posting those lists? kthanxbai." I personallly found it hilarious that Bird found the player that he inadvertently turned into a wolf and got him lynched in turn (eventually).

4. blueflower999
You were Faust! You provided a few theories of your own, eventually claiming to the thread as Faust. Your death was brought on by some bad luck due to verm killing you via loose cannon.

5. BlackDragonSlayer
You turned yourself into a miller, for reasons I don't really understand, in an attempt to gain Socials trust. A really needless move as you probably could've acheived the same effect without doing so. I suppose your plan was to be seered at some point, which you were, sort of, but it really proved to be a hasty move with no "end plan". You suspected Verm early on, and tried to follow up on it, though it ultimately didn't happen until after your death. Keep on those instincts!

6. Bird
You flipped early on, and proved to be the leader for the Humans, leading them to every wolf in your path. Another good performance, and your inquiries about a few potential deals proved to be invaluable as you would later approach me with caution. You seemed to be the only one, besides maybe davy, who seemed to grasp the reality of the deals early on and took everything since then with a grain of salt.

7. Gzgregory
Your lists proved to be quite useful, as they pointed the humans in the right direction, eventually comfirming a few wolfs after your death. A good move, and really your only main contribution to the game outside of some minor follow throughs (granted in vain since you had no voting power anymore).

8. the_last_sheikah
As Gretchen, once you lost the ability to choose your targets, you made a deal to only target wolves, giving you a layer of insight that nobody else really had. You used this knowledge to pursue them in turn. Way to make a bad situation work in your favor.

9. FSM-Reapr
You confirmed Social as the Master Wolf, though by that point there was never really any doubt about this fact. You and davy got into a bit of an argument over his Duelist deal, incriminating yourself as being affected by it, getting you kicked from the game.

10.  Davy
You made a Duelist deal, originally for yourself, but it was altered to only affect other players. This would later get you lynched, but you already knew that. You were on top of your game, making your wolfings quick and effective, and providing enough relevant and helpful gameplay to keep you off of people's radars. Unfortunately, your spat with FSM got you kicked, which is a shame because you set yourself up well in this game.

11. Shadowkirby
Yoou were barely active, really only here long enough to cast a few votes. You were turned into a wolf Night 4, but you were a punk and just let yourself get killed.

12. SocialFox
Caught in the act early on by both verm and Bird, you lost this game without even trying. Unfortunately for you, you managed to cause problems after your death, proving to me that you don't know how to follow simple rules. Don't expect me to play any games with you or hosted by you anytime soon.

13. SlowPokemon
Inactive, removed after Day 3.
 
14. Dude
Wolfed Night 1, dems the brakes, kid.

15. Waddle Bro
A ggod game by you, your list got the ball rolling for the humans, unfortunately that seemed to be the extent of your effective playing as you were wolfed Night 3. All in all, not bad for your second game.

Awards and Honors
Human MVP - Bird
You really were the driving force behind the human's victory, your instincts and deductive skills proved to be invaluable as you saw right through the lists and managed to cut through all of the bullsh*t.

Wolf MVP - Bird
You made the smartest moves by both inquiring about multiple deals and choosing the ones thought would be the most beneficial to you, and had enough sense to jump ship once you saw the wolves had a real uphill battle on their hands.

Aftermath
Rembember how I said there would be a surprise if you survived the game and won?

The Boy Who Cried Wolf, Bird, and the_last_sheikah will all be granted a special advantage for the next game I host, which will be a conventional witch hunt. More on that later.

Thank you all for making this game run smoothly (mostly), I hope to be able to revisit this idea later, but on the other side of the table.

Until next time,

Human Victory

Game and Player Analyses will be up later tomorrow, after I'm done travelling.

Uh, yeah. This is very confusing. :S

Yes, I turned myself into a miller! Two reasons:
1: If I hadn't been wolfed (and Bird had told the seer to seer me ), I could have attracted the wolves, whoever they were.
2: I like being the miller!!

Ok, only one reason... but honestly, the miller role, if the wolves don't know each other (or who the miller is), has great potential. I underestimated the extent that the deals could be used... and certain players...

Looks like I made the right decision when changing into a human. Those darn wolves couldn't stop dying!

So those who thought you were a wolf were half-right.

Essentially, I was correct with only Vermilionvermin and davy. I was right to trust Shadowkirby with my plan (telling Bird to tell the seer to seer me, once the deal had activated)... but he became a wolf later on!!

[Toby]

Wait, did bird swich roles with verm?

I think I probably made the most deals..

I made one to let me survive a deah,
One to seer bird,
One to get gz's role,
One to track Davy.
One to make sure next time a human was going to be lynched the person with the next amount of votes would die,
One to watch myself, as in find out who targeted me (I was going to claim guardian, hope to be wolfed, then survive and find out who did it,
And about 4 of my deals were denied !

[Bird]

I proposed about 15 deals, but only went through with 3. I'm sure Maestro will post them later, though.

[FSM-Reapr]

I revealed SocialFox(just to make sure) and Bird. I also made 100% chance of success for the seer and guardian(that was a horrible deal).
Also looks like my ban payed off. Thanks Davy for breaking the contract with me(although I didn't do it on purpose). I knew you were a werewolf.
Also Bird. I wasn't wrong thinking you're a wolf, because you ruined my and Waddle's plan. Changing to human was a very clever move. Although now you can't say my decision to reveal you was not a good move for the human team.

[K-NiGhT]

This game was fun to watch.

[Greg]

I made exactly one deal. Ehehe....
At least Bird deduced what it was, though.
And I was expecting conversions, but not THAT many. >_>

[Toby]

So I thought bird was a wolf at start but changed mind later ( I was right)

Thought davy was a wolf (that's why I tracked him)

Thought verm was a wolf.. It was kinda obvious

Thought socialfox was a wolf, obviously

And thought shadow was a wolf,

Done pretty swell.

[blueflower999]

How did I get wolfed?
