Re: The Werewolf Game. play it.

It's definitely a good game, just make sure before you play to make sure you know it's a game.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT, YEAH!!!

Re: The Werewolf Game. play it.

Just understand going in that the game is 100% guessing, bandwagoning and badgering people where most of the time you're dead wrong, and you'll be okay.

Re: The Werewolf Game. play it.

You make it sound less fun, but yeah, that's essentially what it is during the first few phases of any Mafia/Werewolf game.

Re: The Werewolf Game. play it.

No it's that way all the time.

You can go look through the history of the games where the results are posted, and the people who will claim, at length, how good they are at TWG and how experienced they are at TWG, frequently expressing that they are SURE that the wolves are X and Y, only to have the wolves be A and B instead.

Re: The Werewolf Game. play it.

Well anyways, I think that's the charm of the games, doho. Just because anyone can be very wrong and then have a "WHAT THE HECK!?!?" moment when they learn the truth.

Re: The Werewolf Game. play it.

That's not the meaning of the game. It's very different when you play it with people who know what they are doing. That's also why I forsake the games on this website.

Figure out who's red and get rid of them if you're green/blue

Figure out who's blue and get rid of them before they can do damage to you if you're red.

Reds lie while blues try to stay alive by whatever means they think will help while greens try to make logical conclusions even if they're wrong.

Sound pretty clear to me in terms of meaning of the game.

If that's not the meaning of the game, then oops, guess I don't know the game that well still. Ya got me dude.

100% guessing

far from it. no one can be completely accurate, but success rates vary a lot based on how well each team plays.

not sure where you got your impression of the game on this site. gotta be honest: I would wager that there are at least a few players here who would challenge or - gasp! - outplay you.

Re: The Werewolf Game. play it.

When people who've played dozens if not hundreds of games, who are regularly hailed as the best of the players on the site express their surety that they have figured out who the wolves are and are just 100% wrong, that pretty clearly suggests that skill is not actually a thing you can develop over time at this game.

Re: The Werewolf Game. play it.

anyone can be 100% wrong at a given time. however, the best (human) players will be 100% wrong far less often than some other players. I can't scientifically prove this or anything, but win rates and certain examples of logic trumping uncertainty will support my point.

poker is similar in a number of ways. performance in a single instance will rely on luck (cards dealt) and guessing (what hands other players have and how they will respond to bets/actions). however, over time, the most skilled players will "guess" more accurately than the least skilled players. there's a pro tour for a reason.

This is actually quite testable if we have all FFR's games still, if someone would care to waste hours of their time doing so.
