    Lol ok, my point anyways is 96% ain't 100%, it's as I mentioned the caveat to the seers peeks.
    And then the percentage reduces further on whatever days the SKs peek as good.

    I mean I'm not saying discount the peeks but don't rely on them.

    Village won without a full seer last game so it's not a massive thing anyways, we'll be grand.

    I wouldn't rely on anything. Just hate when we can't trust anything. Feel that its often best to at least work on a spectrum of trust rather than a binary.

    What are we saying - one Alpha that peeks good, and two other evils on the Scrooge team?

    Then two SKs that peek good 50% of the time.

    Then:

    21/23 players peek good assuming tonight's the night the SKs peek good: 91%
    20/23 players peek good assuming only one of the SKs peek good: 87%
    19/23 players peek good assuming tonight's the night the SKs peek bad: 83%

    Seer will be a guide to us. Nobody good peeks evil as far as we know so an evil peek is at least a guaranteed evil, so we can rely on them for that.

    But a good peek we can take with a grain of scepticism until we know SKs/Alpha are dead.

    Or, as already suggested by Steve, we combine the peek with the interrogation, but again that assumes that the interrogator blocks the power of the Alpha and SKs to peek as good.

    Yep, its not confirmed what exactly the interrogator does, have to guess its blocks powers going on the previous time this role was used. Cant see what else they would do. They will obviously block roled vils also in this case so gotta be careful with it.

    Scrooge is playing a difficult role, he appears good all the time and could eventually come good. IMO He has no power over whether he is converted or not and depending on circumstances will be turned good or remain evil at predetermined point

    Nice to see everyone getting into the festive spirit by plotting to viciously murder each other.

    My nomination for best Christmas song is this one and is the clear winner. It's not Christmas until I hear this.

    Ah right, yeah, we don't know that for sure. We just know one of Scrooge's team is an Alpha and peeks good. We don't now for sure it's Scrooge himself.

    Full disclosure: it was the first one that came up on google so I went with it. Only realised it was the film version when I had it posted already.

    Anyway onto game issues, I've read through the Q&A thread and the OP and would like to think that it's a fairly straightforward game. The lack of confirmation on how many evils there are though and the mention of potential further good rolled players makes me doubt myself. With no on thread tasks either there's not a whole lot to be going on tonight. We've nothing to look for only vaguely wolfy posts that sniff of wolf. Not a clue how to catch the SK's. As there's only 2 they can lay way lower that the wolves.

    If the Scrooge role can be turned to the side of good, I wonder does he even know how that could happen or if that's another secret the mods have? And if Scrooge CAN be turned good that's a big worry for the other wolves in the backroom. It would make them more reluctant to reveal their names to each other back there. This could massively work in the village's favour as the wolves would also distrust each other and wouldn't have perfect knowledge.

    Not sure if I wanna go too far down that wormhole at the moment but it will be something to consider going forward. The wolves could be just as clueless about who's on their team as we are at the moment.

    Ah its probably a fair assumption tbh, Im just nit picking. Im just thinking if Scrooge is a possible turncoat, if he was the alpha it would be a big miss for the wolves. A lot of theories out there right now and tbh some started by me.

    So SKs peak good every second cycle.

    First cycle is mon to tues morning? Which means tuesday and Thursday peaks (if seer still alive) would show good. Any way they could try and use this to their advantage by looking to be peaked?

    Hey look at me being really slow at grasping this game.... You’d swear I was pissed off after the match and it sort it sucked the joy out of the night for me!!! :(

    That all depends on whether there are night 0 actions - in which case tomorrow is the second cycle. Just sayin.

    Therefore - Die Hard = Christmas movie.

    Well Frozen actually is set in summer. They sat it throughout the movie.

    Die Hard is an action movie that takes place at Xmas time. Not an Xmas movie.

    Seer usually gets a peek n0, that would leave cycle 1 tonight. Says in the op that there are not on thread actions before 10am tomorrow, seer actions would be off thread I guess.
    Without confirmation, I would say cycle 1 is tonight.

    As opposed to all the magical stuff that we're supposed to believe in? It's a Christmas movie as it takes place at Christmas. That's the general premise.

    There are even Christmas parties taking place, and dead men in Santa hats.

    It's an action Christmas movie. They don't have to be mutually exclusive.

    Just like you can have a horror Christmas movie (Rare Exports)
    Or a war Christmas Movie (Joyeux Noel)
    Or a rom com Christmas Movie (While You Were Sleeping)
    Or a family Christmas Movie (Home Alone, Miracle on 34th Street)
    Or a sentimental Christmas Movie (It's a Wonderful Life)
    Or a kids Christmas Movie (Elf)
    Or a gross-out comedy Christmas Movie (Bad Santa)

    etc, etc.
