OOC: Would giving the seer another randomised scan next night be a solution?
There need to be a chance that the seer's random scan hits the dummy. Unless the scan the seer got night 0 had a chance to hit the dummy, but given Bearth was hunted I doubt that.

So yeah the seer needs to get a random scan which had a 1/15 chance of hitting any person, including the dummy. So 1/15 chance of hitting the dummy and 14/15 chance of getting an actual player.
The wolves then would hunt the dummy. As the hunt night 0 seems to have also had a chance to hit the seer then there shodln't be any problems there. Plus even if it didn't there isn't really a way to fix that.


So yeah, night 1 the wolves hunt the dummy and the seer gets a random scan with a 1/15 chance of the random scan being on the dummy.
 
well I guess I'm doing that then
man PMing everyone is the worst part of GMing
 
1: draw roles randomly as you would for 17 players (which means the zombie can get an important role like WW or Seer) - but don't send them out yet !
Can't be a wolf.

4: if the hunt target was the zombie, you're in luck you can start the game. If a player was the hunted target, just swap the role of the zombie with the one of the hunted player (so the night 0 hunt is the zombie)
No. THat's just cumbersome and risks mistakes.


The way to do it is:

You roll a d13. One side is the seer, the other 12 sides are villagers. The side the dice shows is the night 0 hunt. Unless it hits the seer side it'll be a villager dying.
You now distribute the roles. You find the 4 wolves and if the seer lives you find a seer too. Now you make the rest villagers.
If the seer lives you give him a random scan among the players, remembering to include the chance of hitting the night 0 hunt.
 
alright I'll be sending out the new roles shortly
if you didn't get anything your either still or now a villager
yes I know I should send out the villagers independently but its a lot of Pms and I'm lazy

You really don't need to start over. You could do the night 1 compensation I sketched out in e.g. post 81.

I have sent out roles and its not like anyone had voted yet anyways

Ok. You can't complain about the amount of PMs then, though, since you chose the more cumbersome option.
 
Where is my PM?
You're a villager, that's why you're not getting one.
Unless you're a wolf this time and using this to make us think you're a villager. But as I know you were a goodie last time chances are you're a villager now as there's been so much confusion here that I'd expect you to not be pulling the ploy of feigning not knowing you you got none.

So yeah, Hax is pretty cleared in my book.

This is clearly intentional, since Hax would have PMed the GM if he really didn't get a role PM.

Anyone who was a wolf/seer in the previous incarnation would probably warrant a villager PM if the role changed.
 
Night 0
as you all gather to discuss king fu, the post apocalypse, how terrible the management of this place is, how odd it is that you are all shredded despite presumably being malnourished, you hear a shout racing to the source of the noise you discover one of your minions with the shocked expression on his face. He then explodes. The heros are certainly among you, who can you trust?
generic placeholder minion the kung fu warlord is hunted
 
I'm gonna guess Hax, Wagon, aedan, and Randy.
 
One time in The Resistance, I(proud holder of the third most wins) was a spy along with Aedan and Falc (the two people with the most wins)... We lost that game

Who was the super pack?
Sleepy, Arky, Yakman, and I. It's the type of pack where we all either get scanned/lynched early or we win pretty unscathed/Stalingrad.
 
Can't be a wolf.

No. THat's just cumbersome and risks mistakes.
:confused:
I don't see the problem at all. You start the game as if there were 17 players, but simulate the Night 0 hunt instead of letting it happen naturally, and just swap the player being hunted with the zombie so that it is the zombie who is hunted. In which way is this cumbersome and risk-prone ?

What you're proposing looks way more counter-intuitive to me

What I'm proposing is how it's normally done.:p
And it's the swapping round which is cumbersome. Why assign roles before determining whether a villager or the seer dies? There really is no need.
