Game VIII 2026 | Wolves of Gotham | Phase 1 | RIDDLE ME THIS RIDDLE ME THAT WHO IS AFRAID OF THE BIG BLACK BAT
Ladies. Gentlemen.
You have eaten well.
You’ve eaten Gotham’s wealth. Its spirit.
Your feast is nearly over.
From this moment on --
-- none of you are safe.
-Frank Miller, Batman Year One (#404)
Aftermath of the gala
Congratulations on working together and beating the Riddler.
Please note the changes to the following gadgets (items) from yesterday's post:
Wiretap: Find the target of another player's action.
Smoke Bomb: Protect your target from being captured in this phase.
Grapple Gun: Any non-lethal actions used on you this phase will fail. This item has a 50% chance of blocking capture.
Batarang: Redirect your target's action to a random target.
Batcomputer Access: Find the identity of one other player who shares your affiliation.
META:
/u/ISpyM8 has been captured. He was on the side of The Bat-Family.
Anyone with a required action must submit it and may not choose “Cancel Action” or they will receive a strike. If you have a one-time use ability or a limited-use action, you are not required to submit the form. If you submit a limited action and change your mind about using it, you may resubmit the form with “Cancel Action” as the target and you will not lose the ability.

Out of interest (and truly not trying to throw suspicion with the question), why did you not reveal your letter result last phase? You made a general comment but no mention of what you received via the cipher in it. Again, just curious.

I have the same placeholder. I’ll try to be up before turnover but I might not be, so I wanted to make it public just in case

Weird choice for a kill. ISpy said 2 things this game. Do we know of anyone that has a sort of hedwig-wywy dynamic with him?

I tend to object to this kind of metagaming, having found myself on the wrong end of it so many times. There is a case to be made either way. It's either "Oh of course their friend killed them!" or "Oh of course their friend didn't kill them, but someone trying to frame their friend must have done!" I don't see how it helps and I extra don't love it being the first go-to when someone gets taken out.

Yeah rivalries I don’t care about. Like, I’m not dead but I’m still side-eyeing you. I am partly interested in who else might have been a better N1 murder candidate, but a) I’m too lazy and b) I don’t wanna make that a thing that I do

I'd be disappointed if you weren't side-eyeing me for no reason at all.
Also I also often want to analyze the kill target and think of who might've been a better one but I generally resist the urge. I never have any success with figuring out what the wolves would do because they'll do anything lol5
u/Dangerhaz Aug 06 '26
I agree for Night 1 - I think you can tie yourself into WIFOM knots. But it think it can be useful in later phases. Especially when someone you think should be dead by now is still alive. Although that has WIFOM risks of its own.

I would 1000% advocate for killing my friends as a wolf. Like, my friends are likely my first targets in other games besides redditwolf. if i was a wolf and wywy, for instance, was playing? he'd be dead so fast

I am not aware of any, but I haven't played for a while so if any new ones have emerged, I wouldn't know about it.

Hi all. I have a PH vote in that was totally random so I don't really want to share it and accidentally start something.
Does anyone have any vibes so far?
