The Matrix Werewolf - Game thread



The Matrix theme is for flavor and is not necessarily indicative of roles.

This game is based off of the Pick Your Poison Open Game Setup. In it, the Wolves choose three roles out of five before the game begins to be given to the village. Here's the link on Mafia wiki.

The living:
a500lbgorilla
BankItDrew
baudib
BooG690
gabe
GatorJH
Hoopy
JKDS
MadMojoMonkey
OngBonga
philly and the phanatics
SuperMonkeyFace
wufwugy

Living roles:
7 vanilla villagers
3 Vanilla PRs
3 Vanilla Wolves

Rules:
- No editing posts.
- Wolves will have 24 hour chat which will start prior to the game for them to "pick their poison" for village PR roles.
- Village PR roles will only be mod revealed upon death.
- No night posting. At stated EOD, stop posting, even if I don't post that day has ended. SOD will be announced in the thread.
- Votes at :00 will be good and votes at :01 will not be counted.
- No discussing the game anywhere outside of this thread.
- Lynches and rescinds are submitted in bold, e.g., Lynch lilrascal.
- Days will last roughly 48 hours unless majority is reached. Nights are 24 hours. Days on weekends will be extended if requested.
- Night actions are submitted by PM to me. Wolves can submit night actions via the den if they wish.
- No posting in the game thread after death.
- If I've missed anything or you have any mod specific questions PM me, don't ask me in thread as it may be ignored.

All times mentioned are EST time.

Sup. I'm a villager but not vanilla.

lynch boog

[BooG690]

lynch boog

Bolding someone as your first post? That's pretty wolfy. Therefore lynch JKDS.

Has the pot not been stirred?

[Hoopy]

Gator always == wolf so theres one of the three in the bag

Glad to see you've not forgotten rule 1 of FTR werewolf.

Has the pot not been stirred?

I suppose it has.

[OngBonga]

I took the red pill.

[philly and the phanatics]

i took the blue one but it got caught in my throat and now I have a stiff neck....yay Viagra jokes and yay village!

[OngBonga]

I assume the blue one is rat posion, designed to punish faggots with no sense of adventure.

[OngBonga]

baudib is playing!

dude is wolfy already.

lynch baudib

[OngBonga]

If I were a wolf, I'd want to get rid of the tracker and the 1-shot cop.

I think we're likely to have inno child, vig and jailer.

Jailer is much more powerful in endgame, so if we have one, sit tight.

I agree with this I think.

Did you hear that a truckload of Viagra was hijacked yesterday?

Police are on the lookout for hardened criminals.

BID screwed up his impression of dhubs.

Let me try this again... Ahem.

As some of you may be aware, this game includes vanilla villagers. Well, I happen to be one of them. Some players are wolves but I am a vanilla villager. I have not been a vanilla villager for many games now but I can assure you that this game, I am a vanilla villager.

[baudib]

I got my favorite role.

[OngBonga]

rescind

Solid defence.

[OngBonga]

I'm not vanilla, I'm vanilla.

I'll give drew a villager lean for that shambolic entrance.

[BooG690]

I'm not vanilla, I'm vanilla.

I'll give drew a villager lean for that shambolic entrance.

Did you expect him to make a graceful entrance into any game? He leans wolf, if you ask me.

[OngBonga]

Did you expect him to make a graceful entrance into any game? He leans wolf, if you ask me.

I didn't ask you.

And it's not about grace. It's about spazz. Why would a wolf soft claim special and then hard claim vanilla after two posts? There would be literally no point in doing so, and it can literally only happen if drew thinks to himself "I know I'll post something so fucking stupid and random that only boog will suspect me".

boog is wolfy already. That's makes him null.

He redacted his first post only after being called out on it by MMM. Why not let BID defend his own post, Ong? It was an awkward entrance. He gets a wolf lean for it. There's a 0% chance I'm the only one that thought it was wolfy.

I was not meaning to "call him out." My intent vis-a-vis BID was just to lament the loss of dhubs, and note the subtle difference between BID's post and dhub's usual entrance to a game.

FWIW, I thought BID's first post was legit. It could be wolfy from someone else, and BID has shown growth as a player in the last few games, but I don't think it's what he's about as a wolf.

I think it's a terrible move if it gives the wolves real information w.r.t. special hunting. I think it's a terrible move if somehow the 3 specials are identified and BID is alive... as his lie is obv. at that point. Whatever his team, he's lynch bait at that point.

I wonder if BID pulled a double-ruse on us, but his later posts emphasizing that his first post is legit have me thinking that BID's first post is legit.

[OngBonga]

Remember I owed drew after one post last game. Let's forget that I ended up leaning town with him while boog was alive, but I nailed him after one post last game, and I have done this game. Villager.

[OngBonga]

Sorry that's a lie. It's not one post this game, it took two.

[OngBonga]

It's still too spazzy for a wolf, in my opinion. Even drew. You saw him last game, he's not bad at this game, he just has a weird style about him. Last game, as wolf, drew dived straight in, swinging for you after you took a swing at his wolfbro. Here, he's wolfy because he's spazzing a soft claim or some shit? I don't agree. I think it's villagery, because it's so loose.

So we're saying TWTBW or whatever that acronym is? Agree to disagree. I don't think the entrance itself is much of a big deal; I disagree with you saying it gives BID a villager lean. Wolfy if anything, maybe null, but not village.

And this, I mean cmon. There's literally one thing of interest to talk about, and I'm here. I'm not gonna sit here holding my dick waiting for drew. I wanna post and talk about stuff. I think his post is villagery, you think it's wolfy, so we discuss. That's what this game is all about.

I just don't want Drew to fall back on the "LOL I was being stupid and spazzy. Ong knows." defense.

[OngBonga]

Why not let BID defend his own post, Ong?

This had me in stitches.

Fwiw, my first post was legit, my second post was not. I was just doing an impression of dhubs

I really can't see a wolf making this post. Not sure why the post at all, but it would be legit horrible if he did this as a wolf.

[Hoopy]

Rereading the thread.

Crappy time to start a game, but whatevs.

I agree with Ong on Drew. That would either be a very balsy play as a wolf (with the double post) or an epic mistake if the first post was a play that went wrong.

I like that Gator came out and hard defended BID at the start of the game with no hedge.

baudib is playing!

lynch baudib

I laughed when I read this because I always think his posts are wolfy, even though he has been villager like 90%of the time.

[philly and the phanatics]

^ this...i highly doubt he turns out to be a power role or a wolf, although i have never played with him before. It would be a pretty sick level.

[philly and the phanatics]

my ^this was directed at ong lol

[philly and the phanatics]

Gator always == wolf so theres one of the three in the bag

[OngBonga]

Gator always == wolf so theres one of the three in the bag

gator hasn't been a wolf in forever, like probably since you last played.

[OngBonga]

TWTBW is too wolfy, not too spazzy. spazzy does not equal wolfy.

wolfy implies an ulterior motive. If drew had just left it at the first post, he leaves all sorts of doors open from a wolf pov... he could be laying the foundations for a fakeclaim, or he can backtrack saying it was an attempt to get the nom. But to hardclaim vanilla next post, it implies he's not thinking about this from a wolfy pov.

The fact you're unable to see village hints when they smack you in the face, it has me thinking maybe you don't want to find reasons for people to be villager, especially those easy to push like drew.

[GatorJH]

Gator always == wolf so theres one of the three in the bag

I am really digging my run of vanillager!!!

[JKDS]

because BID has never, ever, spazzed something dumb as a wolf.

He wolfy

[BankItDrew]

The fact that I claimed a villager PR role and some players have me as a wolf, I have those players as wolfy. Wolves are the only ones who want villager PR players dead asap.

I caught boog already.

[philly and the phanatics]

yea i can get with ong and BID on a boog lynch...seems as reasonable as an early day 1 target as we are going to get imo

[GatorJH]

meh, boog tends to do that a lot. He is always tinfoiling these kinds of things so I have it more neutral than anything.

I thought your second post to be what screamed wolf, not your first. You're back in my villager pile, don't you worry.

[BankItDrew]

I thought your second post to be what screamed wolf, not your first. You're back in my villager pile, don't you worry.

You though I was worried about being in your wolf pile? You must think highly of yourself.

Gator was my #1 villager until he decided derailing the boog train was a good idea.

[philly and the phanatics]

still super early but still awaiting posts from :

rilla
wuf
gabe
SMF

[BankItDrew]

I hate getting nommed N1 50% of the time when I'm a villager so I'm gonna keep quiet for a while.

[a500lbgorilla]

Feels like it

Might just be paranoia.

This generally tends to be a post a wolf makes more than a villager

Im pretty sure I even said this last game


The "when I'm a villager" part might be the solidifier

[OngBonga]

I'm unconvinced by monkey here. I mean I thought he can do better than this. Questioning the language of "when I'm villager" is wolf hunting?

[OngBonga]

And you were a wolf last game. Who were you talking about when you said it? A wolfbro? Or an innocent villager?

This is the post I'd like monkey to clarify. Because this be a logical thing to say if you were a villager last game who nailed a wolf. But you weren't a villager, so I'm a little confused as to why you think this is relevant.

Last game I had said "OK guys I've posted enough content for today"

Giving myself an out to not post as much

[gabe]

after being so unintentionally suspicious last game, im going to try and see how suspicious i can be intentionally, as a villager

[a500lbgorilla]

BID, what are you doing?

[baudib]

My strongest village lean is Gator so far.

That's all I got.

[MadMojoMonkey]

Easily the wolfiest post ITT, so good start.

If this is your new meta, I'm not a fan.

[gabe]

Easily the wolfiest post ITT, so good start.

thanks. i'm sorry it has to be this way


fellow villagers, you will have to deal with suspecting me this game. the payoff will only come in the distant future when i'm actually a wolf. then you will be delighted at the village finally not winning. unfortunately you wont get such a surprised delight this game

[MadMojoMonkey]

My most recent post was written and posted before I read the recent string of posts by gabe.

thanks. i'm sorry it has to be this way

Until I see you flip villager I will not be confident saying:
"It's cool. You're my bro, and I support you even when you don't make sense to me."
(although that was my gut reaction.)

fellow villagers, you will have to deal with suspecting me this game. the payoff will only come in the distant future when i'm actually a wolf. then you will be delighted at the village finally not winning. unfortunately you wont get such a surprised delight this game

So you're trading a ~70% winrate for a ~30% winrate (raw odds of flipping W in a game).
Winning as a wolf is worth the big monies, I guess.

That tone, though!

reading you just got even more complicated than it already was.

[GatorJH]

Easily the wolfiest post ITT, so good start.

Agreed, but bordering on TWTBAW

[OngBonga]

That post pinged me somewhat, but the more I looked at it, the nuller it became.

idk, I can see him saying that as either alignment.

[baudib]

I think MMM is wolfier off that exchange than Gabe. Thoughts?

[BooG690]

I think MMM is wolfier off that exchange than Gabe. Thoughts?

I agree with MMM. Gabe's post is the single wolfiest post so far. Another fluffy post by gabe (in addition to his fluffy first post last game).

[OngBonga]

I think MMM is wolfier off that exchange than Gabe. Thoughts?

idk, his post pretty much echoed my initial thought about gabe's post, only I thought about it longer and decided it wasn't worth commenting on because I could see him doing that as villager or wolf.

The only reason I have so far to suspect mojo is he isn't a villager read of mine already. But it's too early to consider that alone to be wolfy.

[OngBonga]

I hope rilla is a villager, because if so I don't need to bother trying to read baudib, I'll just leave him to rilla.

[JKDS]

Rilla seems villagery so far. I like boog too

[Hoopy]

because BID has never, ever, spazzed something dumb as a wolf.

He wolfy

Yes to this.

Rilla seems villagery so far. I like boog too

But why is rilla a villa?

[OngBonga]

JKDS doesn't seem villagery yet.

[baudib]

I like Boog too.

[gabe]

im already loving this new persona. i'm like a trans villager. i identify as a wolf but i was born a villager. you can only lynch me if you think a wolf would try to fake this. i dont even have to help the village and im cleared

[gabe]

just realized there is a problem with this plan. there is mystery in this game about the roles where people might get paranoid that i'm some bs special role that tries to fuck with people. this is not the case for me. i'm only posting this way because of getting my wolf game torn down last game. im building a new foundation now

[baudib]

That's B.S. Gabe. This is why we have to lynch Ong every once in a while -- so wolves can't get away with being TWTBAW.
