| moving for a sheriff vote is premature, I think. No way to know who's getting the vote. if we make a wolf the sheriff, we will be in some trouble. Even a villager at this point is still shooting pretty blind. Maybe more of us normal villagers have to sacrifice ourselves, for the greater good? I'm not a wolf, but I'm also not a special, that I know of. Lynch me, I guess. | |||

| He could've been a wolf sympathizer (if i recall, there is one of those in the game) setting up a smoke screen. I just can't believe people went with it. The outcome was very predictable. I am willing to bet the wolves were among those that voted for him as per the "dogpile" scenario. | |||

| And quite the contrary, wolves would love the waffles. They're sugary and fattening. If you were going to fatten someone up, wouldn't you want them to eat the waffles? I was telling people to NOT eat them. I'm looking out for this town's best interests! Of course, cuddlycthulu turned out to not be a wolf, so it seems I may have to rework my theory. | |||

| His plan was to die, as a villager, so we didn't out (or kill) a special. It was pretty simple. Also, it helps that there are 3 villager specials we don't know about, and so we're generally limiting the chance for surprises later in the game. I'm going to continue to kill the people who claimed to be werewolves yesterday, simply because it is too dangerous to let them live... | |||

| So ... nearly 1/5 of the remaining inhabitants of the town are knowingly forces of evil ... 1/4 if one counts the afflicted - but that is only activated if the afflicted is killed by a wolf. 5 possible forces of "good" so again, approximately one in 5 ... Without any evidence of evil, we have an 80% chance of killing one innocent person by lynching at this point, and a 4% chance of killing a lover, with an 80% chance of the resulting suicide ALSO being an innocent. There will be a 4% chance that the Bodyguard will choose the individual targeted by the wolves, the same chance for the martyr, BUT the loss of the Martyr would mean the loss of yet ANOTHER innocent. I advise the Martyr NOT to attempt to prevent a death at this point. If we vote a Sherrif at this point, the chances are 15% that we would choose a wolf, thus giving them that much more opportunity to kill us off, as they KNOW who the other wolves are. There is also the 4% chance that we would choose the Serial Killer, but that would not be AS damaging to the townsfolk. All in all, the chances are GOOD that we will repeat our mistakes of yesterday's lynching at LEAST a few more times. :( | |||

| The ghost doesn't figure into the math at all - its a non-factor. the only specials I was concerned about are the 4 wolves, the serial killer, the seer, the witch, the hunter, the bodyguard, and the martyr. The afflicted is ONLY a factor if killed by wolves, and the The math still stands :) | |||

| In a few days we will be down a few more villagers and it will still be random luck unless the seer speaks up early and then is immediately targeted by all the evil forces. SO all waiting does is increase the odds against selecting a villager. Obviously at this point I feel that you are a wolf and probably Nothing personal. :) | |||

| Let me be clearer - Forces of "Evil" = the Wolves and the Serial Killer. (the afflicted is not yet evil, and has a LOWER chance at this point to be the wolves chosen victim than one of the forces of good ....) Possible forces of "Good" = the seer, the witch, the hunter, the bodyguard, and the martyr because they ALL have the ability to effect the chances of the game ending favorably for the "non-evil" townsfolk. (The martyr and the hunter have little chance of being effective in upping the chances of good's survival at this point though). The other specials did not figure into the math presented above. | |||

| Back a you -- I find it suspicious that you and Considering how little we know of each other at this point, it would be smart to push the idea of a sheriff because they'd be voting blind and probably going for whoever is the loudest candidate. We can no more be sure at this point that we're voting for a villager for sheriff than we could be sure that we're not lynching a villager. We need more time. | |||

| No offense taken at all, as you support my point rather well. I am not stating that the Sheriff has a greater chance of being a good townperson later, simply that choosing a Sherrif RIGHT NOW gives no increase in the chances of a Wolf or the serial killer being lynched, but it DOES increase the chances of the wolves killing off innocents. If more information becomes available later, increasing our chances of correctly identifying a wolf or the killer, then the increase in townperson's votes compared to wolves DOES benefit the townpeople. | |||

I said that I was suspicious that cuddlycthulu was passing them out and was warning people against eating them because I thought he was a wolf trying to get people to like him by passing out food goodies, which is always an easy way to get people to like you, and it would begin plumping people up to eat. Obviously, I was wrong, as he turned out to be Cupid, but I maintain that my logic was sound, even though I turned out to be incorrect. I would like to say that the waffle crisis has passed, but the wolves appear to now be using them in their killings! We should remain villigent! | |||

| Actually, we've got an interesting situation. If the seer gets useful information (read: about 2 wolves) then it'd definitely be worth them speaking up, since we have a Bodyguard, a Witch, AND a Martyr to protect them. So assuming decent play and coordination from the three of them... there is 3 nights of cover left for an "outed" seer. That's really damn powerful. | |||

| I have been thinking about that as well, and was crunching a few numbers to see if it's better for the seer to out him/herself now or later. IF the seer DOES know the identity aof a wolf right now, then there might be some vavlue ... otherwise there is no sure way to establish the claim. STRANGELY, if a wolf is willing to commit suicide for the good of the pack, then another wolf could claim to be the seer and thus "prove" it ... might help them gain a couple days worth of intense havok at the possible cost of one wolf now, one later when the bluff is turned. | |||

| I disagree, and think your defense of this is a bit suspicious in and of itself. The only reason you need a sheriff is to add an extra vote to the villagers when things are getting down to the wire - a villager sheriff turns a 3-on-3 situation into something that's winnable instead of an automatic loss. There is no need for a sheriff at this point, as we're all shooting relatively blind. | |||

This argument is so clearly flawed that I have trouble believing you don't have ulterior motives.

| I'm inclined to agree with The EVIL specials have EVERYTHING to gain from a sheriff being elected at this point. A sheriff gets 2 lynching votes. A sheriff CANNOT save any wolf victims by any special powers. The WOLVES know who the WOLVES are, and if one of them becomes the Sheriff, they can use the extra vote to make sure a wolf does NOT get lynched. The townspeople, with the possible exception of the seer, and the possible exception of the lovers (do they know if thier lover is a special?) have no better idea than any of the rest of the townpeople who the wolves are. As the sherrif CANNOT split his/her vote, it simply means the sheriff would be increasing the 80% chance that he/she is voting an INNOCENT to death. We have only a 4% chance of voting the seer into the sheriffs office and a 15% chance of voting a WOLF into office ! SO - once again - the only people who BENEFIT from a sheriff in office at this time are the WOLVES. Unless you can refute this somehow (and I'm not saying you CAN'T, just not sure how), please drop your support of the immediate election of a sheriff. | |||

| My main thinking, and the only reason I voted yes, just off gut feeling, was two-fold. First, we have an overwhelming chance of actually getting a "good" (by good, I mean "wants the village to win") person with a second vote. Even if they have no further information, just their intent makes them all the more powerful for the village. Secondly, Sheriff tends to be a position that forces people to explain their play a little more. Sometimes it's nice to be able to interpret someone's play, based on a visible result, instead of gut-feelings, and intuition. We can try and get some sense of things from posts, true, but the sheriff ends up leading the village, nd it becomes easier to tell which side they re on. the second isn't a particularly good reason, but I'll stick with the first for now. I will disagree that only the wolves benefit. However, I will agree that an uninformed villager is still a dangerous thing, but at the moment one risk I wouldn't mind taking. | |||

| Oh crap, I lied. In rethinking, we've got an immensely powerful set up of specials, here. The seer doesn't get just 3 days of cover, assuming all the specials are still alive. They get an amazing 5 days of cover. Observe: Night 1: Bodyguard saves, Martyr is there for backup in case bodyguard can't re-protect. Night 2: Martyr eats it. Night 3: Bodyguard again. Night 4: Witch saves Seer. Night 5: Bodyguard again. Night 6: Seer finally goes down. That's a TON of useful information. Only downside to that scenario is the serial killer, a little. He can knife through some of those defenses, or remove them while we're counting on them. Definitely not saying for the seer to come out. But saying that the Seer should definitely watch for the possibility of this type of situation being possible. | |||

| Hell, any villager should want to take it, or the Hunter. Yes, it's a bit of a deathwish, but for the brief time you have the power, you can try and do some good with it. We're pretty clearly not having a sheriff, however, so the whole thing becomes moot. | |||

| Honestly, I'd say he was trying to make sure that it the spirit of first-round randomness, nobody got killed who would have been even worse; a Lover or the Hunter, for instance.

| Perhaps I'm being a bit naive here, as a new villager and all. But can someone give me an actual, precise breakdown of why it's such a terrible idea to have a sheriff at this stage of the game? It seems to me like the notion of us EVER having a 'known' quantity is rather unlikely. Thus, why NOT bring the sheriff in when the outcome of a random vote is much more likely to result in someone being sheriff who has the village's best interests in mind? Don't get me wrong, I understand how it's an awesome idea to have the sheriff be the Seer. Lots of power there. But until the Seer outs themself in a definitive way (which as we've discussed can be faked with a willingly suicidal wolf), there's no way to be sure. With two people dying every night (until the Serial Killer is targeted by the wolves, of course) our odds of choosing someone sympathetic to our cause go down and down with every passing day. Can anyone explain to me clearly why this reasoning is wrong? Otherwise, I suggest we all vote someone into being the sheriff. | |||

"I'm taking a page from your book, "I have another point of logic to bring up here. The wolves could be any one of us, right? Any one at all? So, who hasn't done much talking at this point?

It seems fairly likely that the established veterans who are hotly debating points of strategy likely include a wolf here... but that we may have several wolves scattered among those who say little.

| It seems to me like the notion of us EVER having a 'known' quantity is rather unlikely. This is actually not the case -- by mid-game, there are generally several known good guys at any one time. If the seer survives long enough to announce his results (either because he's about to be lynched, or because he's collected enough information that it's worth revealing his identity to make sure the information gets out), then we find out the names of several proven non-wolves. You also tend to get specials announcing themselves in midgame for a variety of reasons. When someone claims to be a specific special, either nobody else claims to be that special instead (in which case it's pretty certain he's for real), the real special contests the false claim, or a wolf falsely contets the real claim. In either of the latter cases, we then know that of those two people, exactly one is a wolf, and we can check by lynching one. There are two specials that are considered self-verifying: the Witch (if a wolf claims to be the witch, the real witch poisons him the next night), and the Hunter (if two people are claiming to be the hunter, lynch one of them. Even if you lynch the wrong one, the retaliation shot will kill the wolf pretending to be the hunter). Because of this, wolves almost never claim to be the Witch or the Hunter. Strategically, it's best to wait until midgame before outing specials, since wolves will usually eat known specials almost immediately. The two times to out a special are when the special is in danger of being lynched, or when a majority of non-wolves remaining are specials (at which point the specials usually out themselves en-masse so the lynch victims are narrowed down the the wolves and a very small number of ordinary villagers). The best times for a sheriff vote are when there are multiple proven non-wolfs so we can give the badge to one and have other good candidates to inherit if the wolves kill the sheriff, or as a desperation move when the wolves are close to winning. Neither is the case this early in the game. | |||

| Hey, I was surprised to see it there too. :P And to be frank, anyone who knows me can tell you I'm absolutely not the kind of person who would pull a stunt like that. I would never put myself into the line of fire. There's too high a risk of it backfiring and I am absolutely not a risk-taker, especially when I'm in a room full of people I mostly don't know and I can't guess what their reactions would be. I'm more of a blunt hammer when it comes to debating my point, as you'll see if you look through my threads, and scrawling something like that across the wall would just complicate things for me -- IS complicating things for me. :P It's just not my style. | |||

| "Hmm. You're probably right here. But looking at this from an uninformed perspective, I fail to see how it's a bad thing to make the vote now. When the extra vote isn't really going to help the wolves, but our chances of electing a non-wolf go up. I agree that if we don't do it now, we ought to wait until mid-game or so. I just think it'd be beneficial to have it in play now, when it'll be easier to get the vote through. | |||

| Maybe, if we were assigning the badge randomly. But we're not. Most of the villagers will be voting randomsly because we don't know who the wolves are, but the wolves will be voting non-randomly because the *do* know who the wolves are. The wolves also have the option of eating sheriffs until a sheriff guesses poorly and wills his badge to a wolf. A wolf-sheriff is theoretically lynchable, but early in the game everyone's guesses are mostly luck, so it's very hard to tell a malicious sheriff from a bad guesser until mid-game. And once you get into mid-game, then the extra vote will be a major help to the wolves. | |||

| Yea, by that logic, everyone here could have told anyone else who they are. Regardless, the bottom line is, the lovers don't need to do that. Having been a lover approximately six million times, you can usually figure it out - especially if you've played a game or two with your lover before. There are ways to reveal it within the game that other people won't pick up on. | |||

| I disagree with your first postulate. First of all, the villager votes for sheriff are scattered. None of us know who to trust, so we're fragmented. The wolves know each other, giving them a voting block of 4 for one of their own. It's not insurmountable, but as splintered as the rest of us are, that's a very heavy challenge for villagers to overcome. Secondly, as soon as we elect a sheriff, if we get a villager, the wolves will eat that person. Then either that person named a successor, in which case we have to trust their judgment that they didn't name a wolf, or we vote again. Every time we vote, the odds of electing a bad guy increase. Thirdly, what is the benefit to villagers, at this point, of a sheriff? We don't need his second vote to override the wolves. The wolves are such a minority at this point that their votes have significantly less power than they will during the end-game, which is when a sheriff would be useful. | |||

| Statistically, a sheriff is GOOD for the wolves at this point, as they KNOW who the other wolves are and can use the extra vote to make sure a non-wolf gets lynched whereas the extra vote does NOT benefit the townsfolk unless the sheriff is the seer. The chances of the seer getting the sheriff position is actually LESS than a wolf getting it, as the wolves can be sure to vote for one of their own as the sheriff whereas we townsfolk have only a 4% chance of voting for the seer. TRUE, we have a 85% chance of voting a townsperson into the position by simple random selection, BUT the wolves get a 100% chance of not selecting one. In the absence of more information, the townsfolk have a better chance of getting an uninformed villager casting the extra vote blindly, or even a WOLF getting the extra vote, then they have a chance to get a beneficial result, while the wolves have a good shot at getting an advantage out of it. THUS - bad for villagers. | |||

| The problem there (and the reason I'm not a huge fan of the role) is that the serial killer has the same motives as a villager - except for when they kill someone. But since they're not trying to misdirect anyone towards lynching villagers, it's harder to find clues that point to them. | |||
