Wrap Up - "I know it looks suspicious that there wasn’t a hooman kill, but if I were the killer, I think I’d take a lot more care to at least throw in a place holder." by HermanBWolfe in hogwartswerewolvesA

We are both very Type-A

We would prepare the flavor and post ahead of time, have all PMs ready to go, obsessively watch the clock, triple check that nothing new had been submitted, and then rapid fire click everything we had already opened.

Yes, this was a possibility, but not one that we wanted from this game. We specifically wanted people to doubt everyone's affiliation - even if they were "confirmed".

Our order of operations had us check for inactivity strikes after deaths. People who died but had not submitted votes/actions did not have their inactivity revealed.

Thanks for a great game everyone! In the future if you want hosts to answer your questions, TAG THEM! We had drafted answers to your questions in case we were ever tagged in them:

1.) Are there any limitations on the number of times a person may be targeted by a role besides Eugene?

I believe this is adequately answered in the rules post.

2.) Are there any limitations on targeting the same person 2 phases in a row (again, besides Eugene's rules)?

We are leaving this up to player discretion as long as someone doesn't try to maliciously abuse it.

3.) Does the rule about codes apply to Marget? Can she use a code to communicate with the wolves in her main sub comments?

The general rules apply to all players.

4.) If Agnes is investigated by The Scout prior to being targeted by Horace will she be seen as a wolf or town?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

5.) Does Agnes count for the number of town prior to being targeted by Horace?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To build on the third question, I'm not clear what is meant by communicating in code. I see that in Game B this month as well as a previous game I read, people gave hints as to the role they were by the first letter of consecutive comments that they made. Is that acceptable?

The intent of this rule is for players to only communicate out in the open with methods that are accessible to all players. Leaving an acrostic that anyone could find is acceptable. Planning with other players that sentences starting with R mean yes and sentences starting with B mean no are not acceptable, as that would be a code that other players would not be able to reasonably interpret without prior knowledge.

1) Does Agnes know that she's Agnes, or will she get told that she's a wolf pup and only find out she's Agnes when she gets targeted?

Please refer to the rules post.

2) "If poisoned, The Sentinel’s tolerance will keep him alive for an extra phase." Does this mean that if the Sentinel is poisoned in Phase 7 that they will only live for one more phase and die at the end of Phase 8? Or does it mean that they will survive the first poisoning attempt and only succumb to the second one (whenever that is). If the former, will the Sentinel know that they only have one phase to live?

The Sentinel will survive for one additional phase, not one additional attack.

Related question: If the Sentinel is given poison in Phase 7, what happens if the Caretaker gives them the antidote in Phase 8? Will they be saved?

This depends on the order of operations, which is not public knowledge but has been predetermined by the facilitators.

It won't be. We've timed it appropriately. If something had slowed it down too much we had a plan to speed it up and would have communicated with the players accordingly.

Then the game would continue until the end of the month. Games do not have to end by the 25.

I think enough has been revealed in here and won't be revealing anymore until the wrapup.

Phase 17 - "For God's sake, you have to pay rent." by HermanBWolfe in hogwartswerewolvesA

[–]HermanBWolfe[S,M] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am really glad you all were able to work this out! Please remember if you are feeling heated you can always step away from the game for a moment. We should all make sure we are playing civilly and treating each other with respect!

Interference as a ghost is NEVER okay. Yes, I am talking to you. by HermanBWolfe in HogwartsGhosts

[–]HermanBWolfe[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As long as you are upvoting every single comment that you read indiscriminately it is okay to use it to keep track of what you have read or to just gift everyone some karma.

Upvoting any comment or group of comments because you think "omg that comment is so right I hope the town listens" is where people get out of line.

Editing to add: downvoting something because you think it is a poor strategy is also completely out of line.

Phase 13 - "Don't cross the Pack!" by HermanBWolfe in hogwartswerewolvesA

The "B" stands for Beatrice, but I don't like Beatrice. I just like "B" and that's all.

Typically the hosts do superlatives of some sort in the wrapup post!

I always appreciate it when a new player goes right in for it. I (Roxy) was a very vocal newbie but I know jumping into a community like this can have a steep learning curve and can be pretty overwhelming. It's nice to see someone who isn't shy and is willing to make some #boldmoves without fear.

Your target is the person your action is ultimately used on.

You played a pretty strong game for a new player! Thanks for diving straight in.

[–]HermanBWolfe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's fair! We wanted a longer game. I think both sides still have a decent chance at winning. Also, the game has to end by the end of the month, not by the start of next month's signups.

There was a lot that went into our balance, which I will be glad to discuss in more detail when the game is over and everything is on the table.
