Floyd | A new game begins with 6 players composed of 2 werewolves, 1 seer, 1
Floyd | wolfsbane carrier, and 2 villagers.  Now it is night; time for the
Floyd | werewolves to KILL, the seer to IDENTIFY, the wolfsbane carrier to
Floyd | PROTECT and the rest to SLEEP.
You whisper "protect brenbarn" to Floyd.
Floyd whispers, "You decide to protect brenbarn from the werewolves."
Floyd | maga_dogg, a seer, doesn't wake up today.
Floyd | It is now day. Time to VOTE on whom to lynch.
jwalrus says, "oh bugger"
maga_dogg calls seer... fuck.
Thrax says, "Damn"
BrenBarn says, "Eeeagh"
Ryan says, "Eeeagh!"
thumper says, "gah."
Thrax says, "Only one shot."
You whisper "who" to Floyd.
Floyd whispers, "Current players (5):"
Floyd whispers, "ryan has 0 votes and hasn't yet voted."
Floyd whispers, "thumper has 0 votes and hasn't yet voted."
Floyd whispers, "thrax has 0 votes and hasn't yet voted."
Floyd whispers, "jwalrus has 0 votes and hasn't yet voted."
Floyd whispers, "brenbarn has 0 votes and hasn't yet voted."
Ryan says, "Straight from the hip."
jwalrus says, "unless the wolves try to kill the baner tonight"
thumper says (to Thrax), "If the baner can guess right, then we get one more shot."
BrenBarn says (to Thrax), "Unless baner -- yeah."
thumper says, "timing."
</BoingBall> Good night... if you can.
Thrax says, "True."
jwalrus says, "or whoever baner protects, yeah"
BrenBarn says, "timi -- timing"
maga_dogg rots peacefully
</Valancy> Ever elusive, she masterfully plays her final card when you least expect it.
jwalrus says, "so, five of us, two wolves and one baner"
Thrax says (to maga), "That's a rotten thing to say."
thumper says, "Well, the baner might as well speak up so that we can eliminate one person from the voting."
maga_dogg slaps his thigh. It falls off.
thumper says, "improve our odds."
(From maga_dogg) all five players call baner at once
BrenBarn says, "But if baner speaks up, he'd better protect himself, which means wolves can have a sure kill."
Thrax says, "Right--baner doesn't necessarily protect himself."
Ryan says, "I will only say this: never go up against a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line! Ahahahahaha! Ahahahahaha! Ahahahahahahaha-"
Ryan dies.
BrenBarn says (to Ryan), "Yay"
thumper says, "My solution to this problem is to have baner flip a coin to decide between protecting himself and protecting another person."
BrenBarn says, "Leaving wolves guessing?  Hmmm, yeah."
jwalrus says, "baner can do whatever he likes at night, but loses nothing by coming out now"
thumper says, "This way other people can still get benefit of protection, but wolves figure it's too risky to kill him."
BrenBarn says, "Okay, I am baner."
thumper asks, "Any other baner claimers?"
jwalrus says, "ok, down to four"
jwalrus says, "of whom two are wolves"
thumper says, "Okay, I'll follow whatever brenbarn votes."
maga_dogg knows a villager, so finds this quite interesting
BrenBarn says (to thumper), "Even if I vote you :-)"
jwalrus says (to thumper), "why? he knows no more than the - oh, but I suppose he's not a wolf"
thumper says (to jwalrus), "Right."
thumper says (to BrenBarn), "That'd be a tough one."
jwalrus says, "so, we must all convince brenbarn of our innocence"
jwalrus says, "which I myself have in spades, btw"
BrenBarn sits in judgement.
Thrax smiles beatifically at BrenBarn.
thumper asks (of jwalrus), "spades?"
Ryan says (to BrenBarn), "I've never been swindled and I think all people are basically good, kind folks. Also, I think politicians are honest."
jwalrus says, "I've been a villager every game so far, and damn maga hasn't been one once."
Ryan smiles benignly.
thumper asks (of Ryan), "Why, is BrenBarn a politician?"
BrenBarn says (to Ryan), "But you are Sicilian, and death is on the line."
Ryan says (to thumper), "No, I'm innocent."
jwalrus says (to thumper), "large quantities, then, if your prefer literalness"
maga_dogg asks (of jw), "kicks ass, n'est-ce pas?"
BrenBarn says, "And all his chatter about 'it sucks to be a villager' -- pah"
jwalrus says, "let's lynch the bastard"
BrenBarn says, "He's already dead."
jwalrus knows.
thumper says, "So, um..."
Floyd | ryan votes to lynch thumper.
Thrax asks (of Ryan), "why?"
maga_dogg has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge.
jwalrus says, "ok, I'm beginning to !suspect thumper"
Ryan says, "Thumper was the last one to mourn the loss of our seer when, upon awakening, we discovered his torn, grisly corpse!"
BrenBarn asks, "!suspect meaning not suspect?"
jwalrus says (to okb), "that's the bunny"
jwalrus says, "thumper, see, it all makes sense"
thumper asks, "rabbit?"
Floyd | jwalrus votes to lynch thrax.
BrenBarn says, "Yeah, I feel sort of the same way. . ."
You whisper "vote thrax" to Floyd.
Floyd | brenbarn votes to lynch thrax.
Thrax asks, "Okay, why?"
jwalrus says (to thrax), "because I don't suspect any of the others"
jwalrus says, "although one of them must be a wolf"
BrenBarn says (to Thrax), "Yeah.  I don't know, I sort of feel like, if there are two wolves, you seem most likely to be one of them."
BrenBarn says, "I don't know why, though."
thumper says, "Well, the baner has spoken, I guess."
Floyd | thumper votes to lynch thrax.
Floyd | A majority has voted to lynch thrax, who is strung up and dies before
Floyd | sundown. thrax turns out to have been a werewolf.
Floyd | Night has fallen; time for some to sleep and others to kill.
thumper says, "yay."
BrenBarn says, "Hooray"
Ryan says, "Yay."
You whisper "protect thumper" to Floyd.
Floyd whispers, "You decide to protect thumper from the werewolf."
Floyd | jwalrus, a villager, is dead.
Floyd | It is now day. Time to VOTE on whom to lynch.
Floyd | ryan votes to lynch thumper.
You whisper "who" to Floyd.
Floyd whispers, "Current players (3):"
Floyd whispers, "ryan has 0 votes and votes to lynch thumper."
Floyd whispers, "thumper has 1 vote and hasn't yet voted."
Floyd whispers, "brenbarn has 0 votes and hasn't yet voted."
jwalrus says, "dammit, just when I thought I might survive a game"
BrenBarn says, "We'd better hurry so Floyd doesn't crash."
thumper asks (of ryan), "twice in a row?"
Ryan says, "Because I know I'm a villager, and BrenBarn's the baner, so thumper must be the last remaining wolf. And also, he took a long time to vote for Thrax."
BrenBarn asks (of Ryan), "What is your reasoning?"
BrenBarn says, "Timing"
Floyd | thumper votes to lynch ryan.
BrenBarn says, "Oh boy"
jwalrus laughs.
thumper says (to Ryan), "You didn't vote for thrax at all, remember.  I guess I can't convice you that you're the wolf, though.  Hm."
Ryan says, "I didn't vote for him because I suspected you. And I still do."
BrenBarn says, "This sucks.  Without something compelling, I'm flipping a coin."
Ryan says, "In fact, now I am certain it's you."
thumper says (to Ryan), "And for the same reason, I'm certain it's you.  Three players."
Floyd | Current players (3):
Floyd | ryan has 1 vote and votes to lynch thumper.
Floyd | thumper has 1 vote and votes to lynch ryan.
Floyd | brenbarn has 0 votes and hasn't yet voted.
Floyd |
BrenBarn says, "Ok, coin."
jwalrus says, "aw"
Ryan says (to thumper), "You didn't suspect me before. And you did wait a long time to vote for Thrax, even though you had said before you'd unquestioningly follow BB's lead."
(From Thrax) BrenBarn says, "It's me! Ha!"
jwalrus says, "you can't do that on the last round"
thumper says (to thrax), "Hee."
BrenBarn says, "Well, I'm going to be flipping a coin mentally or physically."
thumper asks (of Ryan), "So because I'm not the seer, I must therefor be the wolf?  Huh?"
<Grocible> Grocible has connected to ifMUD.
BrenBarn says (to Ryan), "Perhaps he didn't want to hastily kill -- let Thrax defend himself first."
Ryan says (to thumper), "No, because you were slow in living up to your own words and voting down your partner, you're the wolf."
thumper asks (of Ryan), "If I were a wolf, wouldn't I want to avoid the situation of being the lone wolf at all costs?"
BrenBarn says, "Oh, this is a dilemma."
(From jwalrus) thumper rips off his mask. It's lno!
Ryan says (to thumper), "Yes, you would. So you wouldn't immediately vote to lynch your fellow wolf, you'd deliberate. As you did."
Ryan says, "But because you had already said you'd follow BB's lead, you realised you had to vote for him or else you'd suddenly be violating your own statement."
BrenBarn says, "Oh, I'm practically crying here.  If only jwal had been a little less cryptic."
jwalrus says, "you all miss me now I'm gone"
thumper says, "I voted for thrax because brenbarn picked him.  There was no evidence I saw either way and thrax had been mostly quiet."
You whisper "vote ryan" to Floyd.
Floyd | brenbarn votes to lynch ryan.
Floyd | A majority has voted to lynch ryan, who is strung up and dies before
Floyd | sundown. ryan turns out to have been a villager.
Floyd | there are as many werewolves as villagers; they kill the remaining
Floyd | villager during the day.
Floyd | The werewolves have won.
Floyd | thumper was a werewolf.
Floyd | brenbarn carried wolfsbane.
Floyd asks, "That game over already?  It was just getting good.  Wanna play another?"
(From Ryan) jwalrus says, "XLWXHEJ ME OXG IRXZ!"
Thrax exclaims, "Yay!"
BrenBarn says, "Dang"
Ryan says, "Bah!"
Thrax high-fives thumper.
jwalrus says, "ah well, I was dead anyway"
BrenBarn says, "Well, at least I used a modicum of logic."
thumper says, "woo."
Ryan asks, "You didn't even listen to my argument, did you?"
thumper asks (of brenbarn), "Just a random pick, or were you swayed?"
jwalrus says, "I would have voted thumper in that last round, I think."
BrenBarn says (to Ryan), "Yes, but it didn't seem particularly compelling."
Thrax says, "I should have claimed baner."
Ryan asks, "And thumper's did?"
thumper exclaims (at jwalrus), "So would I!"
jwalrus asks (of Bren), "What do you mean you wish I'd been less cryptic?"
BrenBarn says, "Well, see, looking back, I saw Ryan was the first to vote for thumper in the previous round."
Lennier has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge.
Thrax says, "But I hesitated too long and then thought it wouldn't have worked."
jwalrus says, "so obviously he didn't think he was w wolf"
BrenBarn says (to jwalrus), "I was trying to figure out whether Ryan or thumper would have been more likely to kill you in order to prevent your speaking out against them."
thumper asks (of BrenBarn), "And figured that if I were the wolf, I would've killed Ryan?"
jwalrus says, "everyone just picks on me 'cause I'm the smallest"
katre arrives, full of funk, but no fun.
katre asks, "wolf?"
thumper says, "I didn't kill Ryan _because_ he voted for me."
Thrax says, "Okay, must go."
<mcp> Prove your friends! Prove your pets! Prove your next door neighbor's car!
Thrax has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge.
katre asks, "and no one told me?"
thumper says (to Thrax), "bye."
jwalrus asks (of katre), "how long have you been here?"
</Thrax> Your lack of pants disturbs me.
jwalrus says, "also, hi"
Ryan says (to katre), "I suck at arguing."
BrenBarn says, "Well, it seemed that jwal suspected thumper, which made me suspect thumper too."
jwalrus says, "we had a very drawn-out game"
katre says, "10 minutes"
BrenBarn says, "But Ryan's trigger-happy voting made me suspect him."
jwalrus says, "spent about fifteen minutes debating the last round"
jwalrus says, "now we're having a post-mortem"
BrenBarn says, "And 'I am a villager so you must be a wolf' didn't make much sense."
Ryan asks, "Why not?"
Ryan says, "There were three of us. You were a baner."
thumper asks (of BrenBarn), "Erm, where did jwal suspect me other than his 'tears off the mask' thing?"
Ryan says, "I know that *I* was a villager."
</ParserGirl> Irrational flesh-ling! Why must I love you?
Ryan says, "Hence, thumper must have been a wolf."
jwalrus says, "The only time I mentioned thumper was when I said I didn't suspect him."
BrenBarn says, "And it seemed that thumper's lethargy in voting for Thrax could have been plausible in either villager or wolf role."
BrenBarn says (to thumper), "I know, but you said you're beginning to not suspect him -- I was getting real funky with my analysis."
jwalrus says, "I was swayed by Ryan's argument in the last round, but for me it was too late."
Ryan says, "Except that earlier in the second round he said he didn't know who to vote for, so he'd just follow your lead."
jwalrus RTA 'getting real funky with my sister'.
Ryan says, "Yet it was a good three minutes between when you voted for Thrax and thumper did."
thumper says, "Anyway, I have to go in like 10 minutes, so let's start up another round."
jwalrus says, "anyway, I ought to go to bed"
Ryan says, "Hmm."
BrenBarn says (to Ryan), "But I honestly did think he was giving Thrax a chance to speak before lynching him."
Ryan says, "Seems to be breaking up now."
jwalrus says, "goodnight everyone"
jwalrus waves.
BrenBarn says, "Adios jwal"
jwalrus has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge.
katre disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again.
thumper says (to Ryan), "I didn't think it was that long, but maybe."
thumper says (to Ryan), "But yeah, I did wait too long."
Ryan says, "I need a client with timestamping. :)"
BrenBarn says, "See, if I had been in thumper's position, I wouldn't have voted for Thrax right away, even if I was a villager."
thumper says, "If I were a villager, I would have voted for Thrax pretty quick."
Ryan says, "I play this game entirely on instinct, because I've found myself far too often swayed by a persuasive argument that turns out to be a fib."
BrenBarn says (to Ryan), "Well, see, I voted for you on instinct, even though your argument was somewhat persuasive."
BrenBarn says, "I guess it's just that I'd already considered and discarded that argument before you mentioned it."
BrenBarn says, "Anyway, alas."
Ryan says, "Alas."
