Wild Nights Werewolf Tail #2:
Dueling the Guest of Honor
I remembered another fun game from Wild Nights. This one involves the Guest of Honor, the Carspeckens (they draw a really cute fox comic).
I had been hanging out with the two of them the entire convention, and Robert was determined to take part in at least one game during the convention, as thanks for my help with various things, and because it sounded fun. But it took until Sunday afternoon due to GoH stuff. After watching one of the earlier games, he finally got a chance to join in.
I made a point to also play in this one. And no, I'm not mean enough to get the GoH killed right away, regardless of his role. We start off managing to kill one of the two Werewolves. It's a game of about 13 or so. From there, stuff happens, and the game is down to 6 people. I'm a Villager, and while I'm a little hazy on this particular round, I think it's the turn the Seer came out.
Seer tells us that one person is not a Werewolf. That person was the Bodyguard. (Assuming I'm correct here, it had to have been.) We end up lynching a Villager, and the Werewolves kill the Seer. I think he said he wasn't able to protect him. As a note, we also had the Warlock in the round. So the last four were Bodyguard, Warlock, Werewolf, Villager. The Bodyguard had announced who he had protected with no clear bluff to it, so it we didn't kill the Werewolf, then as a Village we were going to lose.
The Warlock accuses me. I defend myself, and tell the Warlock "I'm on your side!" all while also winking at the Bodyguard. My goal is to trick the Warlock into thinking I've been the Werewolf all along. It comes to votes, and the Werewolf (oh yes, I forgot to mention, Robert Carspecken is the other Werewolf!) of course raises his hand. But the Warlock .... does not.
I admit, I actually felt really bad. Robert totally had that game won. Evil should have been able to lynch me no problem. But those who have played with me know how rough it is to play with me, and why the Warlock believed me. Well, open accusations, I accuse Robert and tell the Bodyguard I just lied to the Warlock and that he's the Werewolf. Two votes, dead Werewolf, game over.
But augh, I still feel bad about that one. Like I somehow cheated. I mean who EVER heard of a Villager claiming Werewolf, HMM? :P Actually the irony here is that we talked about that exact strategy before that particular game began. To be able to use it is rather silly. :3

It was a fun game and interesting to learn, so no fears about how it ended. Werewolves never die forever you know, in fiction or in gaming. Beware my dark and triumphant return!
As for the actual ending, one more round of voting would have had us in the middle of a lightning-enhanced deluge, so it all worked out for the best. Next time, we'll have to clear our game with the NWS beforehand.
Thanks again for inviting me to play, and keep up the creativity!
- Robert (AROO!) (& Margaret, too!)
Glad to hear you had fun. I like to think everyone has fun at these things, but I also know some games are... rough; exhausting even. Feedback from players, especially those who are experiencing it for the first time or two, is really important to me. :3
Were you able to find any of the fox stuff at Target? Socks, etc? If not, you might have to resort to ebay. Target does have ONE fox item in stock, at least mine did, aside from the teal-green cookie jar. They have a pale colored outdoor ceramic fox, in their lawn furniture section.
I was trying to pick up a fox cane on ebay, myself, but it got bid up to what used to be the buy it now price. I'll have to wait till I see another one available and hope I can avoid competition. But they're from the Ukraine and well... :X Apparently the domestic fox people are invading the fox cane people, to put it amusingly. >.>
