picture the scene;
@hobbers gets a role pm telling him he’s a wolf. he screams and runs around the room. his nan tells him to keep the noise down as it’s sunday evening and she’s watching countryfile.
his mind races. “who will i be with? i hope rimaldo is there. or ben. or redsky. or benito. they are so cool and pretty much my best friends.” he rushes to cafwolf and sees scarlett as alpha, mart, kenny, phil, all licking the walls. his heart sinks. “there’s no way i can make it to the end with this bunch. i’m not even alpha. no way i’m not checked.”
it goes from bad to worse, his teammates are falling over themselves, they are obvious. and what’s this? alto has even “checked” him. that’s it. game over. but wait. alto doesn’t say he’s a wolf. he says the opposite.
“what is alto thinking?” he says to himself in cafwolf, his teammates not even smart enough to work out how to login.
cut to alto, “i am the werewolf master, i have checked hobbers and got him. there’s no real bg, we have other pvs, they will need it more than i, for i am the puppet master. now watch me pull the strings. everyone is going to wish they were me by the end of this.”
“hobbers is clear, guys.”
“now i’ve laid the bait, i’ll watch the reactions. i will have this wrapped up by turn 3. think of the adulation. the honours. the wolves know i’m lying. they will come for me in the morning. there is time for me to reveal then.”
“the only way they can beat me is to silence me beforehand. they will have to pile on me and kill me out of nowhere. that would be so obvious that even the dimmest of werewolf players would have to just lynch whoever voted me and win the game.”
and here we are.
i really am struggling with what that alto vote was all about as there seems to be most of the werewolf team on him. that’s either the dumbest play i’ve ever seen, or by design to try and sneak someone through to the end that couldn’t possibly be suspected. you then chuck in the “random” no slaughter and… it might not be right, but it’s at least interesting, just like the alto lynch.
