It's fifty-fifty. It's not really much without characterization and not much of that has really happened. If it did, it would probably end up being a distraction or taken the wrong way. Overall, it's just a novelty and shouldn't be made the norm. It's fun but it can also be a chore sometimes.

[Kath]

Sorry, I know that's about the earliest vote ever done, but I'm moving into uni tomorrow and I really don't know if I'll be able to get my internet connected then or if I'll have to wait til Monday. That being the case, I'd rather be safe than sorry.

This also means I won't be around the rest of the Day.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Pardon my short post but it is impossible for me to do anything more today. Personal reasons. I apologize.

[Nogrod]

I have loved this RPG-element here. In lmp's Dueling wizards there was something of the same. I mean that the occupations and relations really meant something. And that's great.

Surely at the late hours when you are busy trying to still say something you oftentimes curse the need for making the lines "X went to get another ale", but sometimes it's really fun.

But what I think is important, these "highly rolebased"-games make the first days much more fun than in the normal game. In some games I've been in, it has been just of no consequence what your occupation or race is, just futile nonsense one has to come up with but which in the end has no effect on anything.

So maybe we should have games with a "background stuff" where we would actually take roles and try to stick with them and then kind of naked-games where evereyone were just themselves (well, their WW-personalities)?

[Macalaure]

The RP-element was an interesting one. I admit that, being a stranger to roleplaying, I didn't do much in this respect. Except on the first two days, my posts were basically regular werewolf-posts just with " and an additional sentence. Still, reading the posts especially of Day 1 was incredibly funny. Kudos most of all to Diamond, Valesse and Capt. Jack Nogrow!

I agree with Nogrod, it is great that the occupations are now a bit more important. I think it might be interesting to have a similar game where everybody is encouraged to remain in character throughout the game but which is not in third person.

[Volo]

I guess RPG-style games are more interesting, but is my first game, day 1 was only roleplaying and then later it became too hard to be of any value... It'll be hard to play when there is little time like it is, but I liked this as it was. (or is)

[Glirdan]

Just to let everyone know that the ending will be EXTREMELY far fetched, so don't be surprised.

[Valier]

Well seeing as Glirdan's game is either done or almost done, I wanted to start getting players for my game.

This game will have..... 3 Things (WW'S) 1 Seer and 1 Weaver. I will explain a little better as we get some players. I will be posting the Weaver description in a short while..... Also this will be a game of bodysnatchers.... :p

I would like to have at least 12 players before we start. :) We will start A.S.A.P as soon as there is enough players.

The game thread is now up!! Titled "Oh the tangled web we Weave..."

Please don't post there. Post and sign up here :D

[Valier]

The Weaver.

The Weaver has the ability to see connections between two people. Each night the Weaver will ask the Mod about 2 players. They will be told if there is a connection between the two. EX: If say myself and Lommy were both things and we were asked about by the Weaver, the Weaver will be told that there is a connection between us, but they are not told how. Say if the the Weaver asked about Lommy and Nogrod (Ordo let's say) They would be told that there is no connection, seeing as one is an Ordo and the other a Thing.

I hope this makes sense...... I will be taking pms from players that would like the Weaver role. This role is a little more complicated and I want the player who gets it, to have wanted it. Also the Weaver has a protective barrier until the Things attempt to change her/him to their side(kill). The Weaver will survive that one attack. The Weaver's protection is gone after this attack and they can be killed after this happens. This gives the Weaver time to share their info with the village before they die. The Weaver may also ask about the same person as often as they like.

How come I am not on the list ?

[Valier]

Just thought I would wait till you confirmed, dear Runey. I have added you to the list above.

[Gil-Galad]

I like the Weaver idea, i currently at an Idea of a Medium, basically a Seer of the dead.

The Medium will pick one of the dead after 2-3 days in, the mod will then pick one of the werewolves and give the name to the medium, the medium must then describe that werewolf in riddles without using the actual name(still debating on this rule) The medium can only use his/her's power every 2-3 days, to make it more fair to the wolves, but the medium is dangerous because it can single out the wolves, but that is only if people beleive the medium.

now that i been thinking, the medium can't use his/her powers till the werewolf that has been named be killed off, after that then after 2-3 days the medium can then gain another name.

just wondering what you think about the Medium, i think that it can be a fun addition, essepcially in my Werewolf gang wars game, which plans to have:

- 6 werewolves(3 in each gang, one of each with be Wolf Leader)
- 14 Villagers(includes gifted)
- 1 seer
- 2 guardians
- 1-2 hunters
- 1 medium

With the wolf leader, if he/she has been killed or lynched, then that gang can not make a kill that night, each gang gets one kill each a night(debating that) or they take turns once a night(i will flip a coin to see with gang goes first)

so far it makes sense to me, any questions about it let me know, i'm still in planning stages

[Thinlómien]

Valier, I'm that flattered to be used as an example that put me down as a "probable"... ;) If this overlaps with Sleepy's game, I won't be able to play however. And I vote

++ no role-playing

It was fun, but i want to have a pause from it.

[JennyHallu]

Ohh... I'll play, though I'm not sure if I'll be able to dedicate as much time as I did in Glirdy's game. I hope to, though.

[Glirdan]

By the way Valier, there will be Days where I will not be able to make it on at all (school and my parents playing online poker all the time [ :mad: ]). I will call Wilwa to come on and let you know if I can or not.

[Nogrod]

I've already promised to be in Sleepy's game that will begin soon, probably... So I will have to see about this. I just realised again that playing WW really distracts the RL-flow pretty much. Well, that's worse for the real life? :D

So no promises, but if you start only after Sleepy's game and have problems with recruitment, then I might be persuaded. New concepts are always fun to try out...

BTW: Is the modding-line shorter here (in comparison to the WW-thread) as I suppose? I've only modded one game and that was co-modding with Lommy. I might wish to add myself to the list so that maybe next spring or something I could be in turn, if the games still go forwards with some regularity...

[Nogrod]

school and my parents playing online poker all the time [ :mad: ]What! Tell your parent's to grow up and start playing online RPGs or something more adult stuff like Lommy's dad does... :D

[Valier]

Welcome all new players!! I have edited the list above. Also Lommy, Nogrod I put you both on the list with question marks in case you don't play. I have no idea whose game will start first, mine or Sleepy's. Mine will start as soon as we have at least 12 players.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Valier, just thought I'd inform you that my game needs two more players (more if they want :) ) to start so I expect it to be soon. Just letting you know so you can plan things accordingly.

[Volo]

By going through some of the older WW:s with no roleplaying, I sure am for RPWW:s!

[Nogrod]

A kind of "tradition" would say we go first with Sleepy's game: the last one was a WWJ game and Sleepy has a WW-game now. I'm not wishing to resound the discussion made earlier in here about the relative status of the two, so let's just think that the games start carefully, one at the time, not jumping over each other but going on when there are people enough involved...

Valier's game should then start as it has been fully booked - or when Sleepy's game came to an end. Depending?

So some co-operation between the WW and the WWJ? Too much to ask?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I am not sure what you are sugesting Nogrod ?

To be honest you only managed to confuse me. . .

[Valier]

Ummm well I don't see there being a problem with both ww games going on at once if we have enough players for both games. We have 7 for sures in this game I think and a few maybe's so if we go with the 7 for sures we still need at least 5 more players before I start my game, so if Sleepy gets his game going soon we may not over lap too much or I can wait till after his is over before I start this one. It matters not to me. :D


Oh and as for the WWrping...I would like players to be in rpish mode, but my rules on this are very lax. I don't care if people follow it, I just think it will go good with this story/game I have created.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Well when WWJ started they allways ran pretty much at the same time and I see no reason why they should co-ordinate with WW as they are two independent things, holding no rang over each other. Out of principle I don't think the WWJ players should be left waiting because of a WW game.

[Thinlómien]

If you're starting the game when I'm still alive in Sleepy's game, I must pull out.

[Glirdan]

If you're starting the game when I'm still alive in Sleepy's game, I must pull out.

I'm in the exact same boat and I believe Noggie is too. Right Nogrod??

[Valier]

Well since it looks like a lot of players are signed up for Sleepy's game I may as well wait till his is over to start mine. When exactly does Sleepy's start?

[Sleepy Ranger]

A day or two. We still require a few players, if your game is starting after mine (which would make the probables certain) then we require just one more player to begin. :)

[Gil-Galad]

Well if it goes Sleepy, Valier, then me, with my gang-wars i require quite a bit of players so it might be wise to combine both WW games.

[Nogrod]

I see the problem as follows.

We do not have as many players wishing to play as we had last spring (or earlier, as I have only been told). So there are not enough people to make two games simultaneously.

That requires something like co-ordination. Making WW and WWJ games go one after another would do the trick, as it has done for the last games anyhow? (And then there is all that discussion, whether it's wise to have those both separated in the first place)

Still I think that having both of these threads / arenas open will give us more flexibility as some games might go on simultaneosly if there were enough players around, but when not, the one game might wait for the other to end or release enough dead-ones to jump to the other game.

No one can really play in two games at the same time, we all know that. So if only a handfuyl of people wish to play, why not arrange a possibility for everyone? The most stupid thing is to have two games about to begin, but neither being actually able to start as the one has 10 players and the second 12, all just waiting for someone else to make a move...

What I mean? I could play in both Sleepy's and Valier's game, surely. But as Sleepy's game has been announced earlier, I have put myself in that list. If those wishing to play and have only listed to the Valier-game could be assured that they can take part in Valier's too, they might sign in the Sleepy game and that could go forwards tomorrow...

Ideas?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I simply did not understand the point of your first post. . .

I agree with you to some extend, but I just don't think that that there should be any rules that puts one game a head of the other. I don't mind co-ordinating when in lack of players at all.

[Valier]

Well if it goes Sleepy, Valier, then me, with my gang-wars i require quite a bit of players so it might be wise to combine both WW games.

Ummm I don't quite get this... You mean combine the two ww threads?

Also I don't really think the two threads should be combined, I will start my game as soon as there is enough players. If players signed up for Sleepy's game and he gets enough players then his game starts, If I get enough players then my game starts. Players that sign up for two games at once ....well what do you do? You play in the one you signed up for first. If this means that my game doesn't start till after Sleepy's is over, because of lack of players then so be it. Another game is just going to start in the WW thread right after Sleepy's, so it doesn't matter either way. Having the two threads also gives people more of a chance to mod a game.

[Gil-Galad]

I only mean is to combine the players, for a need 20 according to my plans right now...

Valier if you intend to do a 'RPG' style game I request, as well as other mods especially those from the RPG sub-forum, that we not longer call it RPG but I suggest that we call it an in-character game. There are multiple reasons for this and hopefully I'll get an official post up soon. But most importantly this should not be viewed as role-playing as we have an actual role-playing sub-forum dedicated soley to that and they work hard to maintain its integrity so this has the distinct possibility of erroding that integrity. Thanks

[Valier]

Thanks Morm...Duely noted. If we do use it in my game, it shall be known as in- character gaming. :)

Yes the Seer can be changed to a Thing with no warning. I am not sure I agree with you on the impossibility of it, That is why I have offered to let players volunteer for the Weaver role. I can take suggestions if you know of something that will help.

hi. i would like to be a seamstress :)

[JennyHallu]

If roles can be changed without warning then only a connection means anything. A non-connection is only good that day. And really, how likely is it that the Weaver picks two "Things"?

And we have a huge village for the low number of gifteds you're planning, especially if the seer is as like as not never able to reveal his/her dreams and never be revealed.

[Naria]

Since this is becoming a larger village, maybe Valier should consider putting in a couple more gifteds?

especially if the seer is as like as not never able to reveal his/her dreams and never be revealed.


Ahhh, I see your point Jenny. This does offer the village little hope...like Valier said though, we can offer solutions to problems as they arise. What to do...hmm :confused:

[Folwren]

Nonsense, nonsense! We don't need more gifted! If our village is getting larger, what we need are more wolves! (I don't know about this 'Thing' thing, if you catch my meaning.)

In a mafia game, if the game as has eight players, say, there are two mafia, a sherrif, and a nurse. If the number leaps to 15, there are 4 mafia, 1 sherrif and 1 nurse - not more gifted, merely more wolves.

Don't you see? In a village that is large, the villagers have a ton of advantage if there are only three wolves because tehre are lots of people to spare. To make it more challenging, therefore, we should not up the number of gifted, but rather the number of badies.

Oh, wait a moment. . .do we only have one gifted? A seer? Don't we need some protector or other? If we don't have a ranger/nurse, then I would move to say that we need one.

Valier, I think we could have four thingies. Though the baddies will maybe be more difficult to catch this time, I'd still rather have a too challenging game than a too easy one.

I'll be a blind gardener maid.Yes, I'm aware how many jokes will spring from that... :rolleyes:

[Meneltarmacil]

When you said this will be "a game of bodysnatchers," Valier, did you mean that the Things would turn everyone they killed into fellow Things? If that's the case, I really don't see how the villagers can possibly win, as the Things would just keep replacing their dead. Though I'm probably mistaken on something...

[JennyHallu]

The Things choose a person, and one Thing at random is killed and replaced with that person.

Another thought: Can the Ranger be turned into a Thing without warning same as the Seer? Because if so, will either really be helpful?

Even a Seer's dream will mean nothing unless they dream of a Thing.

I guess I don't much like this body-snatcher idea. The Weaver could be fascinating, but with the way the body-snatchers work I don't think that role will get a good test: if roles change nightly, then anything the Weaver knows is meaningless.

[Valier]

hmmm this all has made me think.... Well when I first though up this game I realized that with the body snatching this would be a more difficult game, But I thought adding the weaver and Seer would balance that out. The Weaver can use their gift wisely to help the village if they are smart about it, that is why I was letting players volunteer for the role. The Weaver can re-Weave anyone they want, as many times as they want. Yes the Seer and Ranger can be turned into a Thing without notice, but what notice could I give without giving away too much? If the Seer and Weaver worked together they could find out the village very quickly. I am not so sure we should add another Thing to the mix. Remember every night a Thing will die and be replaced by a villager. So every day the ambiance of the village may change, which should give the Weaver and Seer something to think about. I can have the Seer and Ranger die like the Weaver when they are voted for by the Things....would that be better? I am not so sure we should have 4 Things. I will leave this for awhile and let you players decide what to do.

I still need occupations from
Gil-Galad
Rikae
Nogrod

[Macalaure]

By having a dead Wo... er, Thing every day we also have a dead Thing's post to study every day. That's an advantage. When the Seer is turned into a Thing we will probably never find out who it is and that's a major disadvantage. I think it's better if s/he just dies like the Weaver. I don't see a problem with the turning of the Ranger.
Except this, I think we should just play like it is now. It's going to be a lot of fun, even if something doesn't work out as it's supposed to.

[Valier]

After some thought and discussion I have some things to say..... Ok so the Seer and Weaver when they are chosen by the Things have a 1 day reprieve. They die slowly over the day period and die at night fall. They may use this time to share their info with the village if they chose. But remember what the Seer and Weaver may re veil may not still hold true, because they could have dreamt of someone and they were innocent and the next night they could have been changed. This game is based on the movie "THE THING" (with Kurt Russel), there is supposed to be confusion and doubt all through the village. No one knows who could be a Thing at any given time. The Ranger can be changed into a Thing, the Seer and Weaver cannot be changed. They just die slowly over the Day phase. There will only be 3 Things, remember when the village kills one, there are now only 2 and then 1, they do not get to make "new" Things, they only replace themse4lves. EX; Village lynches a Thing during the day. Now they are down to 2 Things. Those 2 Things pick someone to body snatch, and that villager just replaces one of the 2, they do not bring the Things back to 3.

This is my final verdict!! I will not change any of the Roles again. I will however answer questions, but I agree with Mac in that we should just try the game as is and see how it goes.

[JennyHallu]

Wait a second...one more question: You said "if the Seer and Weaver work together"...does that mean they know eachother's identities? That could make a HUGE difference.

Wait a second...one more question: You said "if the Seer and Weaver work together"...does that mean they know each other identities? That could make a HUGE difference.

Yes this would make a big difference. If the Weaver and Seer worked together by night they would be too strong. Therefore the Weaver and Seer may not talk to each other by pm at all and they do not know the identity of each other. All 3 gifted are in the dark about each other.

I would like to start the game pretty much as soon as Sleepy's is over, so within the next day or so I would hope. :)

[Thinlómien]

Is the seer allowed to redream of people, since roles can change? I assume yes.

[Nogrod]

I will be a goat herder.

[Valier]

Is the seer allowed to redream of people, since roles can change? I assume yes.

You assumed correct. ;)

[Valesse]

I hate to do this to everyone, but I think I'm going to have to pull out of this game. I've got too many things planned and besides all of that my activity has (obvious) been on a decline.

I'm sorry.

[Rikae]

I'll be the cheesemaker. (blessed are the cheesemakers!)

If Valesse's out, I'd like to take her place, if I may. If not, thats cool too. :)

Eonwe I have added you to the list, I will need an occupation from you as well. :D

[Valier]

I would like to have the game start this Sunday at 10:00pm CST beginning with a night phase.

I will pm all the roles out by early Sunday at the latest. I will be telling the Weaver their role probably very shortly ;) . If this start time is a major problem with anyone I can move it either up or down by an hour. That is all though, as this time allows me to always be around for the narrations. :)

[Nogrod]

Back to the recurring topic... :)

So are you having CST (GMT-6) or still in the Daylight savings mode and thence, possibly in CDT (GMT-5).

This is what I found:

Where and when is CDT observed?

CDT is used in the summer in these US states (CST during winter)

Saskatchewan - only Creighton and Denare Beach

[Macalaure]

Just tell us what the bottom of your page says, Valier (All times are GMT +/- ?). Then everybody can see for themselves.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Instead of constantly shifting between time zones, could we not keep it in GMT that should make things a bit easier.

[Meneltarmacil]

As I said, I will not be back from vacation until Monday afternoon, so I won't be able to do anything online Sunday.

[JennyHallu]

whoa...just realized I'm next on the Mod List...hmm...better start thinking about my game.

[Thinlómien]

Instead of constantly shifting between time zones, could we not keep it in GMT that should make things a bit easier.SECOND!

[Eonwe]

I think I'll be the Miller.

[Valier]

Well my time now is GMT-6 so at the time of this post it is...almost 9am for me. I hope this helps....so I think that would make it 3pm GMT at the time of this post.

As I said, I will not be back from vacation until Monday afternoon, so I won't be able to do anything online Sunday.

The game starts with a night phase on Sunday, so you won't have to do much, if anything until 10pm CST Monday when the day phase begins.

[Volo]

So the game starts on Monday 4:00 AM GMT. Not the best time for me, but...

[Valier]

Like I said I can change the time by ONE hour up or down if that makes it any better.


EDIT: By the way the first night the Things nor the Seer get to do anything. I am only allowing the Weaver to ask their questions on Night one. The Things may still converse though at night.

[Macalaure]

Why does the seer not get a dream on Night 1? :confused:

[Sleepy Ranger]

I'm sorry but I'll have to back out of this games. Things aren't so good for me at present and I don't know if I'll have enough time. Sorry. :(

Why does the seer not get a dream on Night 1?

Well I thought this over and I thought that since the Things do not get a real switch the first night it would be an unfair advantage to have both the Seer and the Weaver do their thing on the first night. So I decided to even it out a little by having only the Weaver do their thing. If this doesn't seem even to others I can change it so both get their "dreams" the first night.

Sorry to see you go Sleepy :(

[Valier]

I have now sent out all the roles. Please turn yourself invisible if you are not already. If you do not know how to do this just pm me.

The game will begin on Sunday at 10:00pm CST (GMT-6) with a night phase.


P.S I have editted the game thread once again :rolleyes: Please read it through again before the game starts. :)

[Valesse]

I totally agree with Rune on this one ValVal. I would hate to see you miss my game, but if you must, you must.

Actually it's really better that I sit this one out. Besides being very busy I just hit an emotional road block. What little skill I have would be lacking, and I'd probably put on a poor performance.

Have fun in the game, y'all. I'll try to read on as best as I can.

[Nogrod]

Just informing you others in advance.

I will be away the whole of the Day2 due to a minor surgery, unless the hospital has a public net connection (which I doubt).

[Thinlómien]

Assuming I'm alive:

Day #1 and #2 - A vote will come really early. I don't have a net access home so I'm wwing during the breaks and for a while after my schoolday, so the vote is going to come about 15h before deadline (outrageously early, I know).

Later days - I'm in Noggie's place (or visiting his family) and will have a net access so I can vote later, but I will still vote early, the deadline being 7am for me.

[Folwren]

I will be absent Saturday, October 14, Day 3. Out of town guest is coming.

I will also only be here for the afternoon of Monday, October 16, Day 4, provided I survive that long.

-- Jack/Folwren

[Volo]

I'll be away 19-29, I don't know if I can arrange myself an internet connection in Berlin... I doubt that this game will last so long, but the next one will probably be without me.

[Gil-Galad]

many apoligies for missing this day, work ran long (as usual) and hopefully i can post quickly tomorrow, but alas i work again and i shall be working on my Economics essay which is due Monday this weekend, so hopefully i can pop in.

[Valier]

Well it looks like the game is coming to a close. If the last remaining Thing would like they can reveil themself soon and I can end the game with their death tonight or we can wait until tomorrow. It's up to you "guys", no hard feelings from me :D

[Diamond18]

It looks like I'm modding the next game of TIG "senior." I'm going to be silly and try for a game that requires 20 people, so I'm posting here to ask if the next person lined up to mod the Junior game would consider holding off recruitment till my game has players.

[JennyHallu]

Hello, I'm the next Mod for TiGJ...

And I will not be holding off recruitment. Folkses is free to go ahead and sign up for what will, unless I am smacked with a brilliant and original idea in the next few days, be a pretty basic game. 3 wolves, 1 seer, other gifteds as I see how many people are interested.


What I will offer you, Di, is the comfortable way these two threads have been meshing. A WWJ game just ended, and so a WW(senior) game is next. My game shall probably not be starting until the completion of Di's, or until none of those who've shown interest in my game are still alive in Di's. Only way something different would happen is if I only get people who are not interested in playing in the current WW(senior) game.


This, besides minimizing the time the boards haven't got any werewolf, will give plenty of time for me and my players to hash out the details of my game. And who knows, maybe that brilliant idea will come along.

[Valier]

So sorry about not getting your death up Menel!! The Downs was down for quite awhile and I just got my computer fixed. I will get the death up today for sures!! I will also post the game stats if anyone is interested. :)

[Gil-Galad]

well i owe Kitana one pizza because i didn't die this WWJ...WHAT IS GOING ON?

[Rikae]

I must say, I'm quite pleased with myself for surviving to the end of my first WW game! *smug self-satisfied grin* *Gollum "got the precious back" dance*.

JennyHallu (if you can forgive me for calling you Boro), would you sign me up for the next game, pleassse? We would appreciate it very much, yes we would, bless us and splash us. :D

[Diamond18]

If I'm the first to sign up for your game, Jenny, does my name get to be at the top of the player's list?

Because I get a childish thrill out of that. :p

Edit: Curses!

[JennyHallu]

I've been thinking of a game involving secret ballots...but am unsure because of the whole PM inbox full thing. Would people be ok emailing me their votes? Any other clever ideas? Thoughts?

Player List

Rikae

[Thinlómien]

Would people be ok emailing me their votes? Any other clever ideas? Thoughts?Of course people would rep you with their votes... ;)

[Diamond18]

I don't mind using email.

[JennyHallu]

Reps wouldn't work, because you have to have so much time between subsequent reppings of the same person.

I'm really excited about the idea of secret ballots...people could lie about whom they had voted for, you wouldn't know who had voted and who hadn't, you'd have no voting record to go off of. I think that's what I'm going to do.

My email, though, I will send in the roles PMs, just because I'd prefer it were not posted openly on the Downs. Once Di's game is started, I'll pick a name and set up an Admin Thread.

[Diamond18]

Something tells me this is going to cause my brain to explode. Oh, and I already know my role. Kath's role for my game sort of inspried me. I want to be Flower Power. Not "flower power girl" or anything like that, just Flower Power. You can call me Flower for short.

[Meneltarmacil]

Personally, I'm opposed to the secret ballot idea. That would leave us without much to go on, plus where would we be without the usual bandwagoning, inventing excuses, etc.?

[JennyHallu]

Well, what could I do to make this work in your eyes, Menel?

I thought about posting the final vote tally with the deaths...maybe not the names of the voters, but the tally. (Option A)

And perhaps posting a full tally (with voters, but not the order of my receipt of votes) at the end of the day would allow the next day's discussion something to go on, without getting rid of the confusion I'm hoping to cause, since you'd never know the votes at any given time, only the previous votes. (Option B)

Please, please discuss...

EDIT: I wish to make it clear that I would be far more open to option A than B. I'd like to see how a secret-ballot game would work.

[Diamond18]

I'm in favor of the first option. If secret balloting doesn't work, we can always say we at least tried it. We've played so many games on here it's just plain fun to get risky.

[Meneltarmacil]

I would prefer to know who voted for who, personally. But it's your call, Jenny, regardless.

[JennyHallu]

Honestly, I've been thinking about it, and I'm more and more in favor of option B. What I'm mainly trying to achieve is to kill the bandwaggoning, and to destroy the predictability of a "safe" vote. I think we can all agree that, as werewolves, when we vote and for whom is vastly more important than when we're innocent. I also don't want to make the last few seconds of the Day so important that players such as Nilp or Lhuna, far removed from the time zone of everyone else, are made less effective by circumstance. If the votes are private, the race to vote at the last possible moment should be countered.

BUT: I don't want to get rid of so much valuable information that there is no basis for discussion. Delivering all the information they would ordinarily have, but a day late, might achieve the goals I'm going for, without completely silencing my village.

[Anguirel]

I feel this sounds a bit Byzantine and that communicating votes might be tricky. Also I'd really miss exploiting the dramatic impact of a really theatrically positioned, bold ++DENUNCIATION.

But I'm certainly interested in playing. I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. Put me down as a maybe for now, please...

[JennyHallu]

I will happily put you as a maybe.


I'm rethinking my entire theories for this game...(the inevitable effect of a long wait) As the first game I mod, I'd like to keep this fairly simple. SO...

Ignore all my blatherings about anonymous votes.

This is going to be a very simple back-to-basics game. 3 wolves, 1 seer.

Other Gifteds and Curseds will be considered depending on the numbers to sign up.

I'm in, normal game is great is it works for sure, but maybe we could use some old ideas from succesful games

[JennyHallu]

Great! I'll make up an Admin Thread as soon as I've decided on a village name. I'd tell you what I was thinking...but I don't really know myself.

[Thinlómien]

You may count me in as a maybe, too, Jenny. I doubt I will have anything to stop me from playing or need a pause from ww, but there are small possibilities to both, so I can't be sure.

[JennyHallu]

Admin/Sign up thread is now up! I think I was able to come up with a good theme...but one can never be sure...especially when the idea is one that popped into your head at 11:30 PM while your husband mutters that it's sleepy time and I need to either settle down and quit talking to myself or get out of the bed.

[Thinlómien]

Is Gil going to mod his game soon? I mean, we who don't qualify for Fea's game surely are suffering for lack of ww... ;)

And if Gil's mega-game can't be played soon, what then?

[Rikae]

Yes, another Junior game as soon as Jenny's is done would be most welcome. After all, I'm not dead....I'm getting better! I feel happy! :D

[Nogrod]

I'm not dead....I'm getting better! I feel happy! :D "I feel fine!" :D

I'll be waiting for Gil to come forwards but then it seems to be myself being the next on the line.

The last list of the mods I found was this.

Valier (played)
Jenny (in action)
Gil
Nogrod
Mac
Volo

I have some preliminary ideas though. I might skip the Seer but install two or three Rangers who would work individually (not knowing about each other). No Seer but many Rangers would make the game pretty unnerving for the wolves - their Nightly pick would be just nervewrecking - but without a Seer the villagers would have to think it out themselves...

If there would be enough players I would love to add one twisted character too (cobbler, werebear/black beorning... whatever).

But let's first see if Gil will be around...

[Nogrod]

How is it with you Gil? Are you going to mod a game in the junior thread as next?

If yes, do go ahead, if not, let us know...

[Gil-Galad]

woops, sorry

it doesn't look like my gang=wars can really be used yet, so i'll just play a good ol' regular game, might introduce the Medium, an i idea i was podnering with, basically like the mix of the weaver and seer.

The Medium chooses two people, one dead and one alive, and sends me the two chosen in a PM, then i'll tell them if the two people chosen have any connection.
I'm debating about if i use this ability once every 2-3 days... tell me your thoughts

3 - Werewolves
1 - Guardian
1 - Medium
6-9 Ordinary Villagers


i'm mainly going to go with the nubmers given too me, so please sign up now, also i'm going to choose about having either guardian and/or hunter, but again, it all depends on numbers

when signing up, give me Name, Gender and Occupation/Race

thanks in advance

1. Rikae, female, innkeeper, human.
2. Thinlomien, female, a society free rider, Orc

[Rikae]

Rikae, female, innkeeper, human.

I am dying of werewolf-withdrawal!

[Gil-Galad]

we still need some more people to sign up before it can go... and also i need thoughts and comments on the Medium

[Volo]

The Medium is basicly a Seer. With only the difference that it's not sure what his/her target is if it is not the same as the one he/she chose. I'd say that this is a weaker Seer that should dream each day. The Medium should be instead of the Seer, if you put one in your game. But don't put more gifteds than wolves.

[Thinlómien]

I agree with Volo here.

It seems nothing is happening in the werewolf front, so put me down in your game as a maybe. (I won't be playing if this'll run simultaneously with Durelin's game since I certainly don't want to miss it.) *hopes to create a bandwagon for joining ww-games*

[Gil-Galad]

i agree with the gifted not to outnumber wolves, so i will remove seer and hunter from the list



lommy, i need race, profession and gender

[Nogrod]

I'm sorry, but I have been in every game there has been around here this fall, ending with playing two games simultaneously... So I definitively need a break. But if it takes a long time to get this game up and running, I might reconsider. But just a couple of weeks without WW would do me good right now. :)

I hope people would join Lommy's bandwagon.

[Thinlómien]

race: orc
profession: a society free rider
gender: female

[Durelin]

I'll play.

Race: Hobbit
Profession: Nostalgic Loreman
Gender: Male (Not me, the Hobbit, you fools! Stop looking at me like that.)

[Kitanna]

Is there still room to sign up, Gil?

[Gil-Galad]

Always room for my dear Kitanna

so far we have

1. Rikae, female, innkeeper, Human.
2. Thinlomien, female, a society free rider, Orc
3. Durelin, male, Nostalgic Loreman, Hobbit
4. Kitanna, ??, ??, ??

I'll sign up as well.

(I will try to show up early-ish Friday and late-ish Sunday though.) And the 6th December is the independence day, so I can't necessarily get online (as I still don't have that drat net access home).

admin board should(hopefully) be up soon, also Rune has agreed to co-mod this with me in case i am unable to attend to my duties.

[Thinlómien]

I knew Noggie wouldn't be able to keep himself out of ww... :D :rolleyes:

Now I just hope that Gil is not mean enough to make him, Mac and LMP the wolves.

Anyway, Gil, could you change me to:
Thinlómien, male, wannabe-santa, orc

Truly, a tragic character: an orc who wanted to be Father Christmas...

[Nimrodel_9]

For the holiday season, all my employees are required to wear one of these

Hee hee! As long as I don't have to wear a miniskirt! *shudders*

[littlemanpoet]

I'm antsy to play. We need two more, right? Let's go beat the boards and see who will join, what do you say? :)

Oh, and no, the werewolves will be Durelin, Noggie and me. :p

[Gil-Galad]

Right now i'm looking at the starting date of December 16th

i'll update the list when i have more time tomorrow, cheers

[Thinlómien]

Oh, and no, the werewolves will be Durelin, Noggie and me. :pI do not wish to see that scenario either... Unless I'm the seer. :p

[Meneltarmacil]

In that case, Lommy, should we just lynch them all from the start to be on the safe side?

[littlemanpoet]

In that case, Lommy, should we just lynch them all from the start to be on the safe side?
That would be most convenient, especially if you're one of the werewolves. You sneak! I'm watching you! :cool:

[Durelin]

I have never been a wolf.

Seems I might have to pull a "phantom" already... :rolleyes:

And oh, alright. Gil - please change my "occupation" to "elf who wishes to be an optometrist."

Because an optometrist is more Tolkienesque than a dentist, of course.

[Nogrod]

In that case, Lommy, should we just lynch them all from the start to be on the safe side?I was afraid you would just come to that conclusion... Better safe than sorry? :D

[Meneltarmacil]

I'm sorry, but I won't be able to participate, as I have a recently-scheduled family vacation coming up on the 19th and lasting for a few days. I'll see about joining the next game though.

[Thinlómien]

Are we still planning to start on the 19th? If it gets too close to Christmas I can't play since I don't have a net access home yet and all the public libraries are closed around Christmas.

[Macalaure]

Maybe we should bring the starting day forward a week or so. I'm sure many people don't have a lot of time to play during the Christmas days and that might keep them from joining.

[Gil-Galad]

the 9th... well then i can't guarentee a good game then plus we won't have enough people by then...

let me work it out first so i can think

[Boromir88]

If you can get this done before Christmas, count me in Gil-galad. :)

[Meneltarmacil]

If it starts the 9th, I may be able to play, but I'd have to jump off a cliff or something after Day 5 or so, so I don't think I'll be joining this one.

Of course, considering my luck lately, I'm probably just going to be lynched on Day 1 regardless of what happens.

I'll join you after the New Year though...

[mormegil]

What is the setup for this game? Rules etc...I will consider if it's a game that interests me.

[Boromir88]

Of course, considering my luck lately, I'm probably just going to be lynched on Day 1 regardless of what happens.~Menel
Especially now with me in, you know an early exit is a high probability. :D

[Lalwendë]

Hey, I might be up for a go at this, now I've had the rules explained to me. Though I'm wholly green so you might all be able to get rid of me quickly, I don't know. Maybe I would be a 'dark horse'?

[Kath]

So long as this doesn't start before the 13th I'm in. Is that likely?

[Firefoot]

;) Oh, what the hey. Sure. Count me in.

Race: Hobbit
Gender: Female
Occupation: Candy peddler (of course they had chocolate and candy canes in Middle-earth!)

[mormegil]

I haven't been able to find the official rules yet. Is this an in-character game? If soI'm not really wanting to play if not and the rules aren't too crazy I'll play if I'm still needed. I'm a big fan of basic games and if they get too far out there I generally don't enjoy them too much.

So if anybody can succintly explain them for this game I would be grateful.

[Durelin]

Yeah, Gil hasn't posted any official rules yet...

I think it's a pretty straight-forward game, though, morm.

[littlemanpoet]

That's 13 players if we start before the 13th, 14 players if we wait until the 13th; that is, if Mormegil is satisfied with the rules..... Gilly?

[Thinlómien]

Aagh, more people to my please-not-a-wolf list! (Except Boromir who everytime as a wolf manages to give me "bad feelings"... :rolleyes: ;))

Seriously though, I'm delighted to have this joining rush. Mayhaps we could start soon?

[littlemanpoet]

Friends, forgive me but I must withdraw from the game. I apologize for creating expectations among some of you that must go unmet by my (not) humble (enough) person. I won't be playing werewolf anymore.

[mormegil]

That's really too bad LMP as you are always enjoyable to have.

Gil, any ideas when we are going to start and a synopsis of rules and players would be good. As you may be aware this thread will be put on a hiatus indefinatly after your game begins so I think a date would be nice, plus as a potential player I'm interested to know.

[Nogrod]

If you Gil are really ready to mod the game, please come forwards with both the rules and the thread. If you are not ready to host this game in a day or two, please inform us a.s.a.p. so that we can start and/or move you to the bottom of the list (or however it will be in the new constellation).

With this I agree with Morm 100%. The mod should really be ready to make the game when the turn comes and should put some effort in to it. If you're not sure you can do both of them, then lay off it. And tell it openly so that we can go for another one. Please note, that we all are waiting for you here!

It's one thing to play or not, but to mod a game is to take care and think of many others. It's an ethics stuff there too: you just can't withdraw or shy away if others are included... By taking the modding you have promised the others you will do it.

Let's go, then!

PS. Sorry to hear that lmp, shouldn't you reconsider?

[Boromir88]

Lommy, I would love for you to be able to 'pull the trigger' on me this time (well actually maybe not :rolleyes: ). But it may have to wait.

I too am going to pull out, I thought we were gathering players to get started here. It appears there's no idea where this game is going...who's involved and what's going to be done. I have other things to do...sorry everyone.

[Thinlómien]

I think this is getting quite ridiculous.

I have to pull out if this game doesn't start early enough to end on the 21st.

Please Gil do something, react in some way. Maybe a mini-game with just two wolves, but really, something.

[mormegil]

I'm out.

This might make it so there aren't enough players to even have a game. Either way I'll likely be closing this thread shortly until demands makes it useful again....*sniff* she's been a good thread.

[Kitanna]

I'd hate to see this get closed down before the game takes off, but unless this game starts soon I'll have to pull out as well. I'll be without a computer for half of January and the way things are looking this game may not start/end before I leave town.

[Firefoot]

I hate to look like I'm joining the bandwagon (;)) but I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't have signed up - looking at everything that I have to do in the next couple weeks I'm not sure I'll have adequate time to put into this. So sorry, but I'm going to pull out as well.

[Durelin]

All those who feel they can still manage a game if it starts soon, I will be starting sign up for TiG XXVII very shortly. Look for the sign up thread. :)

If Gil shows up prepared to start his game, then I will be glad to step back.

But...to make it official, at this point I have withdrawn from this game.

[mormegil]

This is the official notice that I will be closing this thread within 24 to 48 hours. If you have anything to post here prior to that time please do so. It is unfortunate but being as Gil has not responded for almost 5 days I don't see how his game is going to go forward and his name will be moved to the back of the mod list that will be developed unless he can give me a firm committment to mod soon.

[Nogrod]

Sad but reasonable.

If all those who waited here for a game will join Durelin's game we should be able to start in days. See: http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=13463

[Lalwendë]

Does this mean that if I fancy a go at werewolf then i should head over to that new admin thread for a new game?

Sorry, I'm being an airhead... :p

[Kath]

Does this mean that if I fancy a go at werewolf then i should head over to that new admin thread for a new game?
Yup! Looks like we're getting many of the same players in that one so please do come join. :)

[mormegil]

Sorry, I'm being an airhead... :p

I'm very glad that you want to give it a go.

[Gil-Galad]

Yeha, i am really backlogged in work right now, so if anyone wants to take over for me i will be glad, i hate to see Christmas Werewolf go down the drain, hopefully next summer when i have mroe time i can mod another game

again my apologies, but i feel that i must finish my work first before divulging into any other activities

[mormegil]

Thank you Gil for getting back to us. For those of you are wanting to join a game there is an open game accepting new players here (http://www.forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=13463). Please sign up there if you would like to play.

WWJ is officially closed and may be opened up at a later date if demand requires it. All future games will occur on the WW thread unless specified otherwise. If you have any questions or concerns about this either bring it up on the WW thread or PM me.
