Not that it changes the final outcome, but I didn’t receive any Acuity for providing information about Darknight?

Bah, there wasn’t anything I could do about it one BobTHJ decided to adopt “shoot everybody.”  Or at least “shoot anybody who annoyed me.”  Guns were spectacularly overpowered.

Which isn’t to say Hix didn’t deserve to win: it was a very well-played game, just a game where I couldn’t actually propose any rules to help myself, or oppose many that hurt me.

I think the humans were lucky with the guns, to some extent - any experimental woundings (of which there were none) would have become easy and obvious targets for the werewolves, and a werewolf with a gun would have been very bad news.

Werewolves not being able to propose things to help them was a problem; maybe this needs an anonymous proposal system, next time. (Presumably the humans wouldn’t be entirely unsporting about “come on, guys, that gun is far too powerful” proposals from an anonymous werewolf.)

I thought this was a strong dynasty otherwise, though - it was good to see most people staying interested for the whole run, and the game ending through proper mechanics rather than a scam or idling-out entropy. I think we got a lot of good, automatic mileage from the secret-killer aspect, and the guarantee that something dramatic would probably happen every couple of days.

Would anybody be up for another Mafia-style dynasty, with a different theme, some time? Or even (if this didn’t drain the playerbase too much) a spin-off Nomic where all the dynasties are Mafia variants?

What was the information, Elias? I thought Darknight was already for the chop by the time of the first seance.

Maybe Chivalrybean should have gotten acuity for his last seance answer?  Not that it changes anything.

Out of curiosity, which of us were you trying to frame in your last post, Brendan?  Bob?

Anyway, you had me fooled.  Well played.

It wouldn’t have hurt to set up Bob a little, especially since he’d already shot me, but actually O is the most common letter among names that share one or more letters with mine.  If I’d bitten someone for real and failed, and they’d had “A” as a clue, “O” + “A” yields you or ShadowClaw, etc.

Also, I’d be up for more mafia-nomic.

I’d be up for the spinoff, anyway.

I’m almost sure my last will and testament directed the villagers, but it’s possible that they figured it out without the will.

Were you investigating someone when you were killed, Elias?  Since it only took Tiberias.

Oh, I’d forgotten the will. Okay, you’re up to 2 Acuity, Elias.

Oh, and I was Zahndwolf, by the way.  Spikebrennan pulled a spectacular scam by convincing me he was a cohort, and it was only because I had access to a proxy server (and stayed offline for hours around every email I sent from there) that aaronwinborn ended up in gaol instead of me.

I would be up for the spinoff.

Plus, I just noticed that if the werewolves had won, and Tiberias had not gone idle, Tiberias would be the winner with 6 acuity.

I’d be up for a spinoff.

I would certainly be up for something similar. Maybe something like the Assassin game? I don’t know if that translates wall on-line, though. (The one where someone has a target and has to knock them off.)

BTW, this was the most fun I’ve had in blognomic, even dead! *slimes someone* <- that whole proposal started as a joke in my head, but then I thought it might be useful, if ultimately too powerful.

I’ve played a message-board based version of Assassin before.  Nomic would probably be fun too, though it’d probably need more complicated rules about how you’re allowed to kill people.

As one of the less active players, I just want to say that This was indeed one very interesting and dramatic dynasty.

Thanks for playing, I need to be less timid next time…

Oracular rufio: I was actually investigating Tiberias, so I witnessed him changing into a wolf when he killed someone (me).

i tried to scam zahndwolf w/ that aol account, but forgot about ip addresses, and gave myself away… plus, i think i was responsible for kevan’s death, because i broadcast him as a target to everyone just before he was killed :/ (that would’a been an acuity point for me if kevan had been a werewolf, i guess…)

Not that it affects the result, but I think that I’m eligible for acuity for having made any silver bullets that killed anyone.

I sincerely thought that aaronwinborn was zahndwolf—the timestamps of several of aaronwinborn’s blog postings were coincidentally very close to the timestamps of some of zahndwolf’s emails to my “vespasian.imperator” account.  Brendan, you sure fooled me.  But I fooled you somewhat too, for a while—I suggested to zahndwolf that spikebrennan should be a werewolf target (gambling that it would have no effect and would misdirect him), and then zhandwolf and I discussed some werewolf targets who then ended up actually getting killed by wolves—I interpreted this as zahndwolf talking to some other (genuine) werewolf while thinking that I was a third werewolf and that my promises to kill targets would actually be effective.

My last seance answer was basically intended to tease Rodlen—I strictly parsed his question and answered it by interpreting it as “Was Tiberias correct, under the circumstances applicable to him, to cast doubt on Hix?”  (Yes, because Tiberias was being threatened by Hix.)

Many congratulations to Hix for a game well-played.  (You’re welcome for me having forwarded all of my vespasian correspondence to you).  Congratulations as well to Kevan for a brilliantly-conceived dynasty.  It has been a lot of fun.

lmao brendan ya snake lol. ya let me take that fall. but i told ya all the truth about not knowing who the others were. all and all very fun.

I was considering coding a web-based game out of this as it was quite enjoyable.

Also, minor point because if I tied with Hix I would pass on the victory anyway, but shouldn’t I get an acuity point for assisting in the death of Tiberias?
