Lots of good ideas and points.
I agree with
Melkor about people voting early on because of inconsistencies in cover stories or whatever. I mean, a couple of games ago,
orgg (I think) said he was locked in
Melkor's basement as a reason for not posting right away.
Melkor to his credit played along with it, but then everyone thought it was "weird" for one villager to imprison another and so voted for
Melkor. Crazy... I've been in a Werewolf game on another board where you could vote "Nobody" and that's what we did for 3 days straight... of course, the wolves converted someone and eventually won (I was the seer and killed the second night
)
I could have kept my vote for you,
EricBess, but I was afraid that if I kept it "for no good reason" after you switched away from me,
orgg and
Melkor might have wondered why and switched their votes to me. So I had to switch back to
DF (the only non-wolf of my three choice - so much for "randomness"
) I really thought it was going to end up as a tie though - I didn't expect
DF to get hanged.
Us wolves thought you guys would follow
Limited's lead and hang me and I was willing to sacrifice myself to do it as then
Limited could "clear"
Zigathon, but things worked out
Like I said, I agree the converting is too strong for a small group like this. There's other roles in that other site that the villagers have: Guardian Angel (can protect someone for one night), Vigilante (I think can kill someone right away instead of voting) and some other stuff... but again, I think we need more people.
I think the investigators should be able to converse with each other if they find out they're villagers... that'd be one thing to try and if it doesn't work, then take it out for the next time
