Werewolf: Please start your show

Chapter 172 12 Thieves Cupid
[All players please note that this board is a 12-player Thief Cupid]

【Board configuration】

[Good Camp: Prophet + Witch + Hunter + Idiot + Five Civilians]

[Werewolf Camp: Two Ordinary Werewolves + Wolf King]

[No camp yet: Cupid + Thief]

[Speech time: three minutes]

[Witch: You can’t save yourself in the whole process]

[There is a police chief, who has the right to return votes, and has 0.5 more votes and thirty seconds to speak]

Thief Cupid is probably the most classic board with a third-party camp in Werewolf.

There are a total of 14 identity cards on this board.

Each of the twelve players takes one card, leaving two cards.

After nightfall.

The player who gets the thief opens his eyes first and chooses one of the remaining two identity cards as his final identity in this game.

If one of the remaining two identity cards is a werewolf, then you must choose wolf.

for example.

Suppose one of the remaining two identity cards is a witch and the other is a werewolf, you must choose the werewolf and bury the witch.

Simply put, there is no witch in this game, but as long as the thief knows this information, no one else will know it.

If both identity cards are wolves, the game will be restarted.

If there are two good guy cards, you can choose one at random, and the other identity card will be buried.

The buried identity card could be a prophet, a witch, or a civilian.

In short.

Any good guy card may be buried.

This is one of the tricky parts about this board.

When a unilateral prophet pops up, you don’t know whether he is a real prophet or not.

Maybe, but maybe not. Maybe the thief buried the prophet, took the wolf himself, and then came out to throw golden water to his teammates.

In this case, the good people will be led by him.

Similarly, if a person says he is a hunter, who knows if he is a hunter? What if the hunter is buried? The only thing we can do is to check the gun, but good people don’t have the opportunity to check the gun.

In fact.

Whether the identity of the external player is real or fake, you can only judge by listening to the speech.

After the thief chooses his identity card, it is Cupid's turn to open his eyes.

He will use Cupid's arrow to choose two players to form a couple.

The system will inform the players who are paired together that they are in a relationship, but the two cannot meet at night or communicate, and they do not know each other's identity.

If a lover dies, the other party will commit suicide for love. If the party being committed suicide is a hunter or a wolf king, he will not be able to shoot.

Cupid's camp follows the lovers.

If the couple are both good people, there will be no third-party camp on the field, and the couple and Cupid will both play for the good people.

If the couple is two wolves, there is still no third party camp, but Cupid will help the werewolves.

If there is a wolf and a good person in the couple, commonly known as a dirty chain, it means that there is a third-party camp in this game, and the couple and Cupid are players in the third-party camp.

In addition to some special characters and factions, even the victory conditions on this board require attention.

The good guys' victory condition: all werewolves are pushed out. At the end of the game, there are no third-party players on the field. If there is a third party, the third party wins.

(The gameplay may be simpler in some places. After the side is slaughtered, if there is a third party on the field, the game will not end, nor will the third party be judged as the winner. Instead, it will continue until the third party slaughters the city or is eliminated.)

Werewolf victory conditions: Kill the good guys in the camp. At the end of the game, there are no players from the third camp on the field. If there is a third party, the third party wins.

The third party's active victory condition: drive out all good guys and all werewolves, commonly known as massacre.

The third-party passive victory condition is to survive until the good guys can defeat all the werewolves or the werewolves can kill the side.

It can be seen from the victory conditions that no matter whether they are good guys or werewolves, as long as they want to win, they must first find the third-party camp.

Otherwise, the winner will be a third party, which is tantamount to making wedding clothes for others.

If a third party wants to win actively, it must eliminate all the good guys and werewolves. Otherwise, it can only win passively.

It may seem that the third party has it better, but in reality, it is difficult for the third party to win.

Because as long as it involves a board with a third-party camp.

A thought pops up in everyone's mind.

The game can be lost, but the third party must die.

Once the werewolves or the good guys are in desperate situations, in order to prevent the third party from winning, they will choose to let the other party win.

For example, if the good guy feels that he cannot win, he will choose to let the wolf win.

Similarly, if a werewolf feels that he cannot win, he will choose to let the good guys win.

No matter what, we cannot let a third party win. This is the bottom line.

Therefore, the third party’s opponent is everyone except themselves, and if they are not careful, the chain will be discovered, resulting in two deaths.

The most important thing is that the good guys and the werewolves may directly join forces to find the chain, searching frantically, and even taking photos of their identities and reporting information, filtering them through one by one.

Before the chain is found, good guys and werewolves can coexist peacefully.

Under such high pressure, it is indeed difficult for couples to survive. How can you survive if you are not given any living space?
The most important thing is that the Wolves will basically not use the prophet on this board because there is no need.

There are only three werewolves. If they come out to pretend to be strong, what if one of the remaining two werewolves gets caught in the chain? There’s no chance the werewolves will win. They can only hope that the good guys or a third party win.

This is definitely not the result they wanted.

Therefore, it is better to be timid and take advantage of the situation instead of jumping into troubled waters.

In addition, the judgment of this board wolf knife is also different.

In a normal board, if the wolf's knife is not unified, the system will judge the wolf's knife based on the principle of majority obeys minority. If there are four wolves or three wolves, and each kills one person, the player who gets killed will be randomly determined.

But this board is not like that. The wolf knife must be unified, and three werewolves must kill one person at the same time for the wolf knife to be effective.

If two wolves choose knife 1 and the remaining wolf chooses knife 2, the wolf knife will not take effect on Christmas Eve.

This is very important, if there is a situation where the Wolf Team is not unified in the use of Wolf Knives, we must seriously consider whether one of the Wolf Team members has entered the chain, and the person they wanted the knife for that night might be his lover.

Although it is more difficult for a third party to win, with wolves in front and tigers behind, wealth and honor are achieved through risk.

The third-party camp that wins will be rewarded with a card treasure chest. I guess people who come to play this mode are here for the card treasure chest.

Therefore, no matter how difficult it is for a third party to win, it must give it a try.

Cupid!
Gu Feng only wants Cupid now.

This role belongs neither to God nor to the people, and is a very comfortable card to play.

A werewolf wouldn't attack Cupid, and neither would a good guy.

Unless they feel that there must be a third party on the scene but cannot find it, in order to prevent the third party from kidnapping, they can choose to send Cupid out.

But this situation is rare.

Therefore, Cupid is safe in most situations. If things really don't work, Cupid will just lie low and pretend to be a civilian.

But one thing to note is that the lovers do not know who Cupid is.

Therefore, Cupid had to secretly pass a message to the chains to let them know that he was Cupid.

Otherwise, there may be problems.

Similarly, Cupid knows who his chain is, but he doesn't know whether the chain is a good guy chain, a wolf-wolf chain, or a human-wolf love affair. He has to judge for himself.

But no matter which one it is, Cupid can't let others know who is the chain.

Otherwise, the couple is doomed.

If all the people in the chain are good people, the wolf's knife is equivalent to killing two people.

If the chain is full of werewolves, a good guy pushing one is equivalent to two wolves appearing.

If it is a human-werewolf love, it goes without saying. As long as the chain is out, it means the third party loses.

Therefore, Cupid must never expose his chain. It doesn't matter if he himself goes out, but the chain cannot be exposed because it is his lifeblood.

[All players please check their identity cards]

Gu Feng silently repeated the word "Cupid" in his mind, and then turned his gaze to the screen in front of him.

next second.

Two large light blue characters came into his sight.

Witch.

There was a hint of disappointment in Gu Feng's eyes. He wanted Cupid, and he wanted a third party. Even if he got Cupid, there might not be a third party.

But without Cupid, it would be even more impossible for a third party to do so.

"It seems that I can only strive to win the MVP."

Gu Feng took a deep breath. Since he was not in the third party, the next best thing was to become an MVP and get the card treasure chest.

Although it is difficult for this board to win the MVP, he has no choice.

If it's just for a werewolf treasure chest, it wouldn't be much fun.

This is a change in mentality.

At the beginning, Gu Feng was so excited that he could win and get the werewolf treasure chest, but now he actually looked down on the werewolf treasure chest.

expanded.

This is what happens when people get cocky. [Please confirm your identity cards]

There was no need to confirm the trump card anymore. Even if he confirmed it, it was still a witch. Gu Feng glanced at his seat number.

Number 3!
I wonder if there will be any surprises tonight.

That's right.

This guy is still determined to get in, and still wants to join a third party.

It all depends on whether Cupid will give him this opportunity.

If Cupid attached one human to him at night and the other to the werewolf, it would be just as he wished.

[Please close your eyes when it gets dark]

……

After nightfall, there is a long wait.

First, the thief opened his eyes and chose his trump card, then Cupid opened his eyes, then the werewolf opened his eyes, and finally Gu Feng opened his eyes.

But he was not doing nothing at this time. He was praying, praying that Cupid would have a more accurate vision and choose him into the chain. Otherwise, don't blame him for kneeling down to speak.

【You have been selected as a couple】

At this moment, the beautiful voice of the system rang in Gu Feng's ears. After being stunned for a moment, he almost laughed out loud.

He was actually chosen to join the chain.

Gu Feng was overjoyed and thought that this Cupid was good and had good taste.

I looked at my partner and it was player number 9.

From this moment on, their fates were tied together.

If you want to live together, live together, if you want to die, die together.

This is definitely the legendary being born on the same day of the same month of the same year and dying on the same day of the same month of the same year.

But Gu Feng didn't want to die. He wanted to protect himself and his lover.

I just don’t know whether player number 9 is a man or a woman.

The most important thing is that he doesn’t know whether player No. 9 is a good guy or a wolf. Gu Feng hopes that No. 9 is a wolf, he really hopes so.

If 9 is a wolf, then they are in a human-wolf relationship, started by a third party.

……

[Witch, please open your eyes. He was the one who was attacked last night. Do you want to use an antidote? Do you want to use poison? ]

Number 7 got stabbed.

This is the information given by the system.

Do you want help?

If Gu Feng had not been chained, he would definitely prescribe the antidote to save people, but now he doesn't want to save them.

He wanted to save the antidote to save player number 9.

If 9 was a good guy like him, and was stabbed at night, he would commit suicide once the cards turned upside down. However, keeping a bottle of antidote would be completely different, as it would increase their chances of survival.

However, there is a risk in doing this. What if it is Cupid who gets stabbed?
If they were a werewolf couple, without Cupid, there would be one less ticket, and it would be almost impossible to massacre the city.

Therefore, Cupid is still very important to the third-party camp, but if they are a good guy chain, Cupid is dispensable.

"May the best of luck to Player 7."

Gu Feng always prescribes the antidote on the first night he captures a witch, even if it is a gargoyle or a mechanical wolf. He will not withhold the antidote just because he is afraid that it will be these big brothers who get hurt.

But the situation is completely different for the witch who enters the chain. She is only responsible for her own chain.

The rest depends on the situation.

Tomorrow when you wake up, listen to what Player No. 9 says to determine which camp you are in.

If it is a good guy chain, then you are in the good guy camp.

If it is a human-wolf relationship, then it is the third party.

But in fact, it is not easy to accurately judge 9's identity. Even if 9 jumps to be a hunter or an idiot, he cannot be said to be a good person. It is possible that the thief buried a magic card and got up to put on his clothes.

The night operation was quickly over.

After daybreak, it was the familiar police reporting process.

[All players who want to report to the police please light up the lights]

Gu Feng chose to go to the police as usual.

As a witch in chains, he had to go to the police to establish his identity and make himself sound like he was not in chains.

Otherwise, he might have been found out a long time ago. Even if he was a witch, it would not prevent others from dealing with him.

These are two completely different lines of logic.

It didn't take long for the police report to come out.

【本局上警的有2号、3号、4号、6号、7号、8号、9号、11号、12号，共九位玩家，随机从3号玩家开始顺序发言】

Hearing the system's voice, Gu Feng immediately raised his eyebrows.

He was the first to speak. What luck he had.

But it's okay this way, he can create a good identity for himself.

[Player No. 3 please speak]

"First of all, I am neither a prophet nor a wolf. I am just a single good man."

"Everyone has a different understanding of Cupid's board. After all, everyone has different ideas and playing styles. But I think we shouldn't fight the werewolves too hard in the first one or two days."

"Oh no, it's better not to fight. We can sit down and talk about cooperation. Let's find the chain first."

"If there is no third party, it would be the best. We can talk as we please and discuss the logic as we please."

"But if there are third-party camps, we must get rid of them first. I don't know what kind of mentality you have when playing this board, but I believe in one sentence when playing this board."

"The game can be lost, but the third party must die."

Gu Feng is also a real acting genius. Although he is in the chain, he stood up and spoke righteously to everyone present, saying that he had to find the chain first.

Good guys and wolves must never start fighting to the death and then let a third party take advantage.

Everyone could hear from Gu Feng's speech that he was full of disgust and aversion towards the third party, and he couldn't wait to find the chains immediately to see what kind of chains they were.

I was so impatient to find the chain.

Not wanting to wait even for a second, Player No. 9 was stunned by Gu Feng's words.

If he hadn't known that Gu Feng and he were a couple, he would have almost been deceived.

From this point we can also see how good Gu Feng's acting skills are and how good he is at creating an identity for himself.

He talked like this for only one purpose, to alleviate the suspicion of the good guys in the external position, including the werewolf, about whether he was in the chain.

After a pause, Gu Feng continued, "I'm talking to the Wolf Team, so don't try to jump out. There's no need to jump out. If someone from the Wolf Team gets caught in the chain, then you won't be three wolves anymore, but two wolves. He might even stab you in the back."

"So, you should just behave yourself and let the prophet report the prophet, and then you can kill him with a knife at night. To be honest, it is not a wise choice for you to fight the prophet to the death with this board."

"But there is one thing we should pay attention to. Sometimes Cupid will act like a prophet and take the police badge, or throw some golden water on his chain, to pave the way for their future kidnapping."

"I can understand why Cupid fights like that, but as a good person, I tell you Cupid, it's best not to cause trouble. Do you know whether your chain is a good guy chain or a werewolf chain?"

"What if the two people in your company are good guys, and you end up fighting with the prophet for the badge? Wouldn't that be making trouble?"

"So, calm down, brother, and don't mess around."

Listening to Gu Feng's speech, people in the external position may not feel much, but Cupid should be able to realize that this is a message to him, telling him not to compete with the prophet for the police badge.

Once he grabs the police badge, who will he give it to after the cards are turned over?
If you give it to him, he will definitely get stabbed at night. If you give it to player No. 9, No. 9 will also get stabbed.

If the 9th card is a wolf, and he also receives some gold and water, the wolf team will definitely suspect that he is in the chain.

Therefore, Cupid's attempt to use the prophet to steal the police badge has both advantages and disadvantages, and if he is not careful, he may end up making things worse.

Gu Feng hopes that Cupid will not cause any trouble and just hide his identity.

"Oh, by the way, speaking of Cupid, I have to remind everyone here that the person dancing Cupid may not be Cupid, it could be a couple wearing his clothes to avoid being pushed."

"I have encountered this kind of chain before. I put on Cupid's clothes first. As for Cupid, he can only pretend to be a commoner. He certainly can't hammer his own chain."

"Based on this, if someone dances Cupid, we should be more cautious and not believe everything he says."

"In fact, I can't trust anyone except myself on this board. Even the one-sided prophet may be a wolf pretending to be a wolf."

"Speaking of this, we have to talk about thieves. If the two identity cards given to you by the system are both civilians, you can jump out and report the information directly, so that we don't have to be suspicious all day long, fearing that one of the divine cards has been buried."

"Of course, if you chose God as your trump card, then don't jump yet."

"I'm now worried that the good guys don't have all four gods. What if the thieves bury one god? Then we will only have three gods in this game, and the good guys are inherently at a disadvantage."

"In this situation, if there are gods who get into the chain, it will be even more difficult to play."

Listening to Gu Feng's speech, Player No. 9 breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it was something to be happy about him being chained by Cupid, he was also worried at the same time.

What if Gu Feng's speech is not good? What if he reveals that he is a chain right from the start?
This will cause him to die as well.

Player No. 9 was really worried that Gu Feng wouldn’t be able to play the chain, but now it seems that his worries were unnecessary.

Gu Feng not only knows how to play, but he also knows how to create an identity for himself. You can tell at a glance that he is an expert at playing with chains.

Putting aside other things, after this wave of speeches, I’m afraid no one would have thought that Gu Feng was in the chain.

"Okay everyone, I'll just say this much for my first speech on the police station. Although it's illogical and full of nonsense, I feel it's quite important."

"I hope everyone can be as keen as I am to find the chain and not give them any chances. Remember one thing: the game can be lost, but the third party must die."
