I don't think we do. I think it might be easier to piece a few things together if you know the characters but in general you're ok if you have no clue, like me. I also think knowing the series can be a disadvantage if you over think what's going on by trying to relate it directly to the show.PensFanInDC wrote:I thought we didn't have to be fans of the show to follow the game.

Re: ***TRUE BLOOD WARS GAME THREAD***
I can't really argue with nan's logic, other than it's speculating on how kraftster is molding the game. All I can really say is that if I was bad, I wouldn't come out as the vig. Or if I was a red vig, I wouldn't use the name given, because I'd be assuming that it was a bad character.

Would Jason Stackhouse be an obvious green?

Re: ***TRUE BLOOD WARS GAME THREAD***
see this is one of those situations we have to be very wary of... usually with role claims early in the game the bad guys are going to keep a vig around. He doesn't pose a huge threat, and if anything vigs usually help the bad guys more than the village. Also, if he's claiming green and we take him out we're just doing their work for them. If he's actually red, vig is the best role to claim as there isn't always a vig and therefor not a HUGE threat of someone else saying, "That's BS... i'm the vig".
I'd say all things considered (vigs usually hurt villages more than help, and there's always going to be that doubt if we don't deal with it now) i'd be comfortable with an MWB vote.... but not just yet. i want to see what everyone else thinks first.

I'd just like a little clarification, if possible, from kicksave.

Re: ***TRUE BLOOD WARS GAME THREAD***
I do find KS's claim that he is sookie's brother and that she knows who he is. So I guess they cant talk amongst themselves like a traditional mason role.Letang Is The Truth wrote:i dont understand why people are getting so caught up on names, really you could just make one up and hope that there isnt another jerry stackhouse right?

And by clarification I mean why he was so adamant about voting me off, not to give further details about his role.

I was meaning to say that I find his claim interesting. Why even mention that?

Last write-up was at 5:17 pm yesterday. Kraftster stated 12 hour limits on days... not sure what that means for a deadline though.

Re: ***TRUE BLOOD WARS GAME THREAD***
do we really want to potentially lose the vig this early? that seems asinine. granted they usually do more harm than good but it still gives us an opp to take out bad people. i dont think its worth risking at this juncture, i dont understand.

Re: ***TRUE BLOOD WARS GAME THREAD***
sorry i've been busy this morning, but i have some info on the show...maybe adds some color.
IMO, Eric would be a vig role. he is a sheriff of the vamp region...he isn't always good, but does help bill/sookie sometimes. Kind of fits that middle ground role.
As for vamps being good/bad......Not every Vamp will be bad. Bill for example will be good, and maybe the girl he turned...There are good and bad people just as there are good and bad vamps.
really curious to see what type of role maryann is......no doubt bad, but the powers should be interesting

Re: ***TRUE BLOOD WARS GAME THREAD***
if history holds true (see what i did there?) in these games, it's that baddies lay low early or if someone is laying low early they don't really come out and help later on in the game. i've tried numerous times to get quiet people out early because they scare me, and multiple times i've been correct, but shot down because no one wants to vote out the quiet people. i have a few people in mind (and a few of them that are normally very active posters that aren't quite as active now)
slappy, beerman, canaan, zaro? just a few that are staying under the radar. something to keep in mind.

Re: ***TRUE BLOOD WARS GAME THREAD***
he wouldn't obviously but i'm saying, if he was indeed targeted last night i'm sure he had a few hunches of who it was and that's why he asked us to go with him w/o presenting much evidenceLetang Is The Truth wrote:MWB wrote:How would he know who is attempting to kill him?mac5155 wrote:so that's why you were so sure that MWB had a killing ability.. but it seems that it's only a vig like type??

Re: ***TRUE BLOOD WARS GAME THREAD***
this is my rationale, except its not even about risking the vig as much as just a green RP in general.Letang Is The Truth wrote:do we really want to potentially lose the vig this early? that seems asinine. granted they usually do more harm than good but it still gives us an opp to take out bad people. i dont think its worth risking at this juncture, i dont understand.

Re: ***TRUE BLOOD WARS GAME THREAD***
my other question is if KS really was targeted last night and save, wouldn't the write-up say something along those lines?
