Through the living Wahr He/Him Posted March 26 Posted March 26 @Archer Considering that this is a Midrange game, I will say that I would prefer Saturday evening, thats still more than 48h for C1, plenty of time. Also I dont think that a shortened C0, due to decisive Players, should overextend C1 too much.

In the pregame I told Doc I was picking Slytherin. Then D0 began and I was told my alignment. Then multiple people indicated they'd go to Slytherin and I decided to go elsewhere. The numbers of Slytherin and Ravenclaw cannot exist if one or more of the people in them chose the house with the least amount of people As for changing houses based on alignment. We couldn’t have chosen houses before D0 meaning anything before that was just speculation. Sure you could have followed through with it, but there was no guarantee.

Are you saying elims didn't know they were elims until after the House PMs were created? This is news to me as it contradicts my experience. Pregame: I declare Slytherin without submitting an order because the game has not started D0: I received my alignment and saw in thread multiple people wanting to go Slytherin, so decide to go elsewhere (see my RP at the end of D0) D1: I am randomized to Gryffindor So no. The "slip" is you misreading, misunderstanding, or misremembering my posts. I did not say I changed houses because of my alignment, I said I changed houses after I received my alignment. Again, go read my D0 RP post lol

Until either of those things happened, none of us had any way to know what our alignment actually was. Edited March 26 by Through the Living Mist

That does mean I can effectively ignore D0. Fun!

And just going by that(plus my other thing of only having 3 Elims) there’s a least one in Slytherin, potentially 2, and one in either Gryffindor/Ravenclaw.

Ink and Embers Any pronouns Posted March 26 Posted March 26 52 minutes ago, Through the Living Mist said: So… everyone got village PMs before D0. The only way for you to change your house based on alignment is if you got a PM from Archer during D0. That could only be the case if you were Elim. Otherwise you would’ve gotten your alignment before you had the chance to claim. And you wouldn’t have known for certain that you were village until D1 started, after Archer announced he had sent out the Elim PMs. ———— So, on to my own House house reasonings. All of Slytherin and Ravenclaw chose those houses. Guaranteed If that were not the case, the people who hadn’t chosen a house would’ve immediately gone to Hufflepuff(since we have two members(it’s making for surprisingly interesting prefect voting)) That means that Gryffindor and Hufflepuff got the people who didn’t clam a house. I did claim hufflepuff(you can check, I said I would after Doc and Coco wanted me to) 8 Pm EST(idk if that’s the correct format) or 0 utc. I claimed Gryffindor house based on character vibes. Strategy is not my strong suite. Also I assume parity means equal numbers of Elims and Villagers needed for Elims to win, as per Mist's list earlier?
Amanuensis he/him Posted March 26 Posted March 26 (edited) I doubt anyone is going to derp clear me for this (please don't) but this is an excellent reaction test 3 hours ago, Amanuensis said: Do you expect 3 baddies or 4 given a player count of 17? Do you expect an equal spread of baddies across Houses to maximize information / power, or some bunching up to counteract that presumption? 3 hours ago, Qianweilian said: No idea. I doubt that they would bunch up in one house, as it would be fairly pointless. I suspect they’re mostly spread out. v!Qian seems more-or-less guaranteed as I would expect an elim to not encourage my psychosis so quickly. Seems to me like they also misunderstood. 3 hours ago, Doc12 said: Funny, I assumed we were declaring Houses before we got our alignments because I declared my house in my GM PM before Cycle 0, so I wasn't worrying House choices being alignment indicative. I see that might have been wrong now. Doc doesn't get as much v!cred as he does hedge a bit here. Will grant a v!lean though 2 hours ago, Frozen Mint said: I'd guess a somewhat even spread but not a perfectly even one. I'm thinking we have 2 Slytherin elims given the house size and then the rest will be elsewhere. But that may also be too perfect/predictable? If everyone is bunched together, I think its fair to assume the only house that would happen in is Slytherin. The thing with baddies being bunched in a small house is one, I assume Archer would take pity on a lone villager in a house full of elims (maybe a dangerous assumption lol), and two, it seems less fun not to spread the elims around at least a little. Less potential for plotting and backstabbing. Mint is already aware of elims being rolled post-House selection but also does not point out my misunderstanding. At first I was confused by her saying Archer would take pity but that makes sense now. 2 hours ago, Through the Living Ink said: Hello! *pretends to know what I'm doing* I may not be hugely online until Saturday. How many of the large number of Slytherins announced their intentions before picking houses? It would make it easier for Elims to coordinate if they had a vague idea beforehand. Maybe. If I've understood what's happening at all. Ink, on the other hand, does not question my misunderstanding and therefore gains a bit more village cred 2 hours ago, mippo said: @Amanuensis that is an impressive amount of analysis for just beginning Mippo's response is interesting comparatively.

Verdance he/him Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Ahem. So usually when I play werewolf with my family, the person doing the most analysis undergoes a lot of scrutiny. However, i have noticed a trend where when they are on village team, they tend to be active towards the start, wheras werewolf, they will lay low in the first round. So I trust Aman. For now.

I guess this route makes more balance sense although I think it would be more fun to know you're an elim before and strategize houses accordingly
Verdance he/him Posted March 26 Posted March 26 I don’t particularly wish to eliminate Mist because then I would be lonely. For similar logic I would hesitate to vote against Gryfindor or Ravenclaw (in this round). With the first round fog of war usually leading villagers to just kill somebody at random, I would probably be voting against Slytherin, at random. So… convince me to do something
