Re: HOLIDAY WARS GAME THREAD
I'm assuming one boss kill and one independent kill? Unless there is a village Vig this game? Don't think JOAT would use their kill this early (or at least hope not)
so...do we keep the random going? TWC was the other random'r that was posted....then there is teh confusing THG...
or if we want to start analyzing already....PFIDC has the whole religious battle going on with jaysmiter (although that seems to obvious)

Re: HOLIDAY WARS GAME THREAD
First off, I have a little bit of explaining to do:
- I was gone most of yesterday for a final exam, and thought i would be able to be around a lot more, but then was given a bunch of paperwork that needs to be done for my thesis, and I'm a graduate assistant which means that next week I'll have to grade a ton of stuff. This means that I won't be around alot, I'll try and be active as possible, but I wanted to let you guys know. If it comes to it and I find out that I can't play at all, i might see if someone who didn't get in the game would want to take my spot, but we'll see.
Secondly, I have three different directions on this vote:
- THG, for being crazy last game, he does that again this game it could really hurt the village
- NAN, 1 for being NAN, and two for being extremely experienced, if he's on the naughty list, the village could be in trouble.
- Corvi - see NAN

I say look at the list and call out and start a bandwagon with a quiet person.crayz wrote:I'm assuming one boss kill and one independent kill? Unless there is a village Vig this game? Don't think JOAT would use their kill this early (or at least hope not)

It's too early to analyze. People may disagree, but I think it is a smart move to go after the quiet people because:
1) There is usually a boss hiding as a quiet person
2) When the heat gets on, quiet people start talking. And analyzing talking when things start heating up is always helpful IMO.
3) You weed out the people you have absolutely no tell on, so even if there is no bosses hiding in the quiet group, you have no questions about people you can't go back and research.
Thoughts???

This. I don't think the religious battle has anything to do with the game.

Re: HOLIDAY WARS GAME THREAD
IE and NAN are right, it's still too early to get a read on people. Unfortunately, the speed of the game has put us at a disadvantage so far. Are the quiet people trying to lay low, or have they just not been able to get on? On the bright side, we know night #2 went through fairly quickly... so we can safely assume the RPs are somewhat active.

From playing so many times, people's game playing personalities don't change much at all. So if a quiet person is a boss this game, I still think they will be quiet.
If an active person is a boss, they will still be active.

Re: HOLIDAY WARS GAME THREAD
still quite a few people we haven't heard from yet... not sure if it is because of being out west or "working" or what not.

Not really, the best advice is to lay low or gain trust. Days 1-3 and even 4 are nothing but bandwagon fests. Causing havoc is not an option at this point and only serves the baddies time and they are then more able to follow their own strategy. Being talkative without providing insight on actual facts and things that could help the game progress and ensure a victory for the village is also detrimental.

Some players follow the game very closely, but never post until the end. Keep that in mind.tfrizz wrote:IE and NAN are right, it's still too early to get a read on people.

Re: HOLIDAY WARS GAME THREAD
Alright, I think I can get that. So would you say someone like THG who was extremely active last game and is being relatively quiet a good way to go?Malkamaniac wrote:
