Hi, Im the El Topo.v2, and here to play. 29 players is bound to be lots and lots of players, so lot of names to keep in mind, but Ill try my damnest to work with it. I read through the 16 pages. Firstly, I have not read the original Werewolf game basically at all, I only remember the reasoning that ended the game, and Darryl being Darryl there.
Notes:
Sheriff and Deputy So Drop is our first Sherrif. I agree with Swamped that the deputy has a pretty good chance on picking town in D1, but I still highly advice to think about it long and well, who to give the deputy for. Here is my short comments about the possible scenarios that have been discussed about the sheriff/deputy stuff.
There was the idea of letting Drop decide it. It could work, but it means that Drop will have a big responsibility to make sure he does not pick scum by accident. Drop, remember that the scum team will try to indirectly influence you for sure, so that you would give them the Deputy, so keep that in mind while thinking who to give it.
The Voting system might work as well, although it kinda presents the same problem as the missions in Archer: Will we concentrate way too much on the Deputy voting instead of actually concentrating on finding Scum? Its a problematic situation.
Then there was the idea that Drop could give deputy to the person who will be lynched. This might work as well, I agree? The problematic part is that Gafia votes tend to change a lot, and the sense of consensus is usually not there, unless investigative power has found scum. Because there is no consensus, the target for voting might even change at the last minutes, so Drop would need to always be giving the deputy only at the last second. In the worst case scenario, we might end up with a person receiving deputy powers, who was almost lynched, but might instead turn into sheriff later on, especially if the sheriff is killed off.
Or what if the deputized person claims after that, and is an important town PR? Will we lynch that person anyway, or leave him alive as a deputy? There is multiple questions. So yeah, this plan might work, but its a risky one. But on the other hand, the other plans are risky as well, and I agree with Flux that we should try to limit the spread of virus as he worded it. Hmmh
(Also, this
Is funny in hindsight, haha)
Two Town Sleepwalkers - Well the game does have lots and lots of players, so it could a possibility, I guess? Double amounts of same role always strike me a bit suspicious, but they both claimed pretty early, and Xam agreed that Ultron is most likely telling the truth, so Ill believe it for now, at least with Ultrons case. Xam could be lying though, but he is a quite new player, so I kinda dont believe that he came up in a fly with a plot like this. However, it is something to think about. I have to admit though that I might be a bit biased about stuff, since I have just come out from the other game where I was the Miller.
I kind of disagree with Ultron though about the need to claim it. Its not as necessary to claim as it is with Miller, as the sleepwalkers dont necessarily mean scum for watcher if they see them. But whats done, is done. I dont know if lynching them is the best approach immediately, either.
Xam and Batsnacks - There are some people who bandwagon just for the sake of it, which is bit of a red flag. For example, Xam voted Timeaisis just to join Cabot on launching the Time signal, later he voted RNH after Flux just because? Something stinks in those votes, an easy way to look more active. In RNH case Xam backtracked immediately after Cabot called him out from parroting him, something to note, perhaps.
And there is batsnacks, who even admitted I want to find an easy bandwagon. He later on moved away from this to put up a gambit against Darryl, which was okay, but that first bandwagon vote still strikes me odd.
But what I guess I wanted to tell both of you is, think and act by your own thoughts and ideas, dont just bandwagon others for no real reason at all. This is aimed more at Xamtheking btw, as Batsnacks did go away from that behavior later on, but its still bit of a red flag.
Darryl and Batsnacks-gambit First about Darryl, I think he is mostly being himself again. Aggressive and quite arrogant, just the way the doctor ordered. His way of play is problematic because he doesnt always really say that much about the game itself, and instead focuses in intimidating players. What makes it problematic is that he doesnt need to say as much about actual stuff, but I dont know if its scumtell or not. Its interesting that CB is chasing him a lot, I dont see scum Darryl here just yet. Just not town Darryl either. Lot of people think CB is scum, but I have to admit I havent gone through different individuals yet thoroughly, for this post I just wanted to go through 16 pages and make notes.
However, note that I have not read the first werewolf game, as I try to think of this game as a new beast, but I might re-read it, if it becomes necessary.
Okay, to batsnacks and his gambit on Darryl. I wont comment on the gambit that much, but I think it was an okay thing to try at least. I admit its interesting Darryl voted the top scumread of multiple people, but I dont think him aggressively reacting when bats asked him to dig up info why, is necessarily a scumtell. The reaction might as well be an aggressive reaction to a person who seemingly does not wants someone else do the work he should do, so I dont know if it really points out to Darryls scumminess.
The Baker Boy - Whats with Dave and his Bakery posts? Fluff if alright, but when the game has definitely already started to talk about something more interesting, it is time to mostly drop it, otherwise it just looks like unnecessary fluff to make one look more active than they actually are. There is some gametalk as well, but its cluttered inside fluff. If you want to continue on this path, I will look at it as anti-town play.

This was the stuff, that came to my mind first, after reading posts for +2 hours. Its 2am, so I didnt have the stamina to read all posts in greater detail, that comes later.
