Werewolf: The Game Show

I mean it might work very very slowly. You'd end up either with a wolf each night or a confirmed villager, but the captains would all have to survive and reveal their results at the same time.

It's a decent strategy but it's a long play which might or might not work.

It’s a decent idea but I think it has flaws. Unless all village roles belong to a team it could be dangerous. Might be able to refine it into something we can use though with a bit of collective brainpower

A list would be better to give them options, however - wolves would simply likely kill someone not on the list.

But I mean in the absence of any other idea it might be worth a shot.

Ok yeah I tend to agree.

Pros:
Confirm a villager or out a wolf each night
More data for players to analyse and interpret

Cons:
Wolves and SK get a guaranteed two kills each night (From Tuesday anyways) by avoiding who is targeted.
Likely leaves roled players unprotected
One protection instead of potentially 3.
Captains need to survive long enough to reveal data

Necro

And I mean I should probably stress that confirming villagers/outing wolves is a massive pro.

Might be worth a rattle tonight anyways.

I propose a powerplay move!

Is the protection not only for contestants of their team ? That’s a 4/20 (20%) chance from night one? Hmm, that’s not bad odds.

If we had 3 candidates would that make it more difficult?

Hmm. Yes I see the problem. What if a captain is chosen , we do indeed waste a protection but on the flip side that captain is prob safe from a munch that night.

Well if any night is the one to try it, it would be tonight when there's only one kill?

Yeah, was just thinking that with only one kill we would be better trying it tonight if we're going to at all.

I’m ok being that person. I can’t think of a better way then at least show a bit of village spirit then to leave myself up for being exposed on day 0/1?

Also, doesn’t it mean that whoever my captain is can keep protecting me every night? Could that protect me the whole game while captain is alive and allow me to chat with my captain?

You'd only get to chat with your captain if the wolves targeted you whilst protected.

Assuming you're a villager of course...

Ah good spot. So long enough odds on a captain getting a village room together. It would seem that protecting the captains becomes more important so as it’s their reveal that can give us a core. Also means drum pots plan is a little less effective since the wolves are unlikely to target a nominated player.

And I don't think the captains can be protected as they can't isolate themselves, and are on different teams by design. :cool:

Ah yes, if drumpot ever wants proof that he wasn’t the first player to go down a spectacular tunnel it’s all there:). Four of us at it as I recall, and powerplay the cherry on top

But it also means that if I’m good and find my captain wolves have to play Russian roulette when deciding whether to kill me. My captain may or may not protect me. Also means my captain knows I’m good and can see who targets me on thread even if we can’t talk...

If I am bad this is a fairly risky strategy to do so early. It’s no implausible but it’s aggressive. If nobody comes up with a better idea for night 1 choice I don’t see the harm in giving it a go.

That was the game before the game of thrones game. I know this because I was killed first in the GoT game. Once you read about power play you may have an understanding why.

Afternoon everyone. How are we all.

Can we replace Deal or no deal with bullets or no bullets instead?

Necro

Another idea would be for the 3 gameshow hosts to divide the roster into 3.

So 7 names each.

Blockbusters selects from the first 7

Family Fortunes from the middle 7

Catchphrase from the bottom 7

3 potential recruits/protects each night....?

Wolves would be pretty stupid to try and target you on-thread if they knew you were confirmed by one captain. I prefer the idea of captains choosing for themselves who to isolate. Maybe from a narrowed-down list like Necro said, but I'm not a fan of the wolves knowing who is being isolated, especially when it's only a 20% chance of finding a team member

Drumpots plan leaves the village open to easy kills by the Wolves and SK while the plan doesnt guarantee may only guarantee one wolf by Wednesday, correct?

I dont think thats worth it.

That said I dont have plan myself but I do think keeping the Wolves in the dark about who the Captains protect is the best strategic plan. Its all about luck though

May guarantee none, could be simply 3 villagers.

If they each took a section of the roster though so they didn't cross protect it might be better than a single candidate.

True but we would get 3 people in captains backroom potentially

Well through Drumpots plan that's highly unlikely. I'm with you on not narrowing down the list for captains to select to a single candidate.

They won't try to kill them so that means they won't end up in a backroom.
