Well I heard there was a werewolf game
With Lottie-mod, and co-mod Hakon
But you don't really care who mods it, do ya?
Well it goes like this
Two packs of wolves
Wolf-Seers, -Rangers, -Unicorns
Like anti-hunters, sort of - Oh confusion!
Oh, confusion!
Oh, confusion!
Oh confusion,
Oh confusion.

When Unicorns die, another from the grave
Does rise, and with a borrowed role
Like a Wight, regains a sort of life
And more than that, the cobbler's tounge
Can not be stilled by anyone
The first Seer-Wolf to dream xem, then can pm!
Oh confusion,
They can pm,
They can pm,
Oh confusion.

Not only they, but Lovers two
A mid-life crisis, marital wars
They only ever speak on odd-numbered Nights
And long before, another longed
The anti-lover, scorned, wins at their deaths
And, though dreamed, can pm, only belongs to xyr own team
To xyr own team
Oh confusion!
They can pm,
Oh confusion.

Of course there are still three gifteds
A Seer, Ranger, Unicorn
And the Seer, dreaming of a fellow gift
Then they can Night-speak
And they try to save the clouded eyes
And muddled brains, but their demise, it approaches!
It approaches,
To their own team,
Oh confusion,
Oh confusion.

Well maybe there's a moddess to amuse,
But all I've ever learned from Werewolf
Was how to shoot somebody who you suspect
And there's a cry that you hear at Night
Now multiplied by two, since the warring packs
Each get a Night kill. Half-hour before 2 am GMT
They must send picks in,
For their own pack,
Night approaches,
Oh confusion.

~~~

Actual rules are here and updated!

Roles

Wolves. Six of 'em. Three to a pack. Each pack of wolves consists of a Seer!wolf and a Ranger!wolf, and either a WereUnicorn or a Hunter!wolf. The wolf packs can not share victory with each other or with the innocents.

The Seer!wolves receive one dream every Night. If the Seer!wolf dreams of a rival wolf, they are only told that the player is a wolf, not their gift. If the Seer!wolf dreams of a gifted, they are told what the gift is.

The Ranger!wolves can protect anyone during the Night phase. They can protect themselves but they cannot protect the same person twice in a row.

If the WereUnicorn is killed, one of the dead players is returned to life. The dead player used to be innocent and will then be an ordo.

If the Hunter!wolf is killed, xe may take one person with them. Xe is not a "smart" hunter; that is, xe sends me one name and that person dies regardless of role.

Lovers. They are nearly traditional lovers. They win if both survive to the end. If one dies, follows xyr lover into death. However, they can only pm during odd-numbered Nights (One, Three, Five, etc.) Neither lover knows who the anti-lover is.

Anti-Lover. This poor soul was scorned by one of the Lovers once. Now they live for revenge. The anti-lover wins if the lovers are killed but xem survives until the end. The anti-lover is not on anyone's side but xyr own.

Seer. The Seer gets one dream every Night. If xem dreams of a wolf, they are not told the wolf's gift.

Ranger. The Ranger can protect xemself. The Ranger can not protect the same person two Nights in a row.

Unicorn. Same as the WereUnicorn, except on the innocents' side.

Hunter. Xe is not a "smart" hunter, but sends in one name. That person dies when they do.

Ordos. They want to kill the wolves, and may lynched one person per Day. If killed, they may get a chance at a different role via Unicorn.

Voting

Deadline. The dl is set a 2:00 am GMT. All Night picks must be sent in by 1:30 am GMT. Votes posted at 2:00 exactly are allowed; 2:01 votes must be deleted.

Votes should be highlighted:

If you're interested in a personal opinion, I'd prefer sixteen. For me, the small line-up was one of the nice things about Morsul's game - everybody actually posted and voted every Day, and once in a lifetime I felt I had the time to properly look at and think about everybody without having to wade through pages and pages of posts all the time. Sixteen's about the upper limit of my processing capacity, eighteen's stretching it. What do the others say?

The number is mostly because of game mechanics. There are so many evil roles, there has to be a certain number of ordos to compensate. But since the wolf packs are warring*, the game works with sixteen...am I making sense? No? Ah, well. :p

Lottie is deciding DL and all of that. I just want to let you all know that official rules will be posted soon. You can blame me for all the complexities and evil roles although the lovely revival role is all Lottie's idea. I'm tempted to throw a werebear into the mix last minute, if there is room for one that is.

Question - what's the alignment of the person revived by the WereUnicorn (or the Unicorn, actually)?

wilwarin538
03-16-2010, 06:29 AM
Ok, now I get how it works. haha

I think perhaps it may be a tad unbalanced towards the wolves. Since the Cobbler could potentially get an oppurtunity to communicate with the wolves, and then all the wolves having so much power, and 2 Night kills....perhaps the Cursed should be left out, especially if our number of players stays at 14/15?

Though the fact that the Wolves have to completely get rid of the other Wolf pack, and still bring the innocent numbers down to match, does perhap balance it more. But the innocents do have 6 people to catch, 7 might be pushing, especially since 7 would make up like half the village.

You of course do not have to listen to me. I'm cool with anything. :D

Pitchwife
03-16-2010, 12:41 PM
What happens if the (Were-)Unicorn is the first person to die?

EDIT: Stupid question, forget it. There will have been a lynch before they die, and thus a dead to resurrect in any case. Should have thought of that.
Otherwise, I agree with what wilwa said.

Loslote
03-16-2010, 12:56 PM
Question - what's the alignment of the person revived by the WereUnicorn (or the Unicorn, actually)?

The Revived is given a "dead role". That is, someone who has died is paired up with the role of someone else who has died. They could be on any team.

I think perhaps it may be a tad unbalanced towards the wolves. Since the Cobbler could potentially get an oppurtunity to communicate with the wolves, and then all the wolves having so much power, and 2 Night kills....perhaps the Cursed should be left out, especially if our number of players stays at 14/15?

You of course do not have to listen to me. I'm cool with anything. :D

I could go either way on the Cursed question. What does everyone else thing?

What happens if the (Were-)Unicorn is the first person to die?

EDIT: Stupid question, forget it. There will have been a lynch before they die, and thus a dead to resurrect in any case. Should have thought of that.
Otherwise, I agree with what wilwa said.

That's actually not a stupid question. If the WereUnicorn is Fenrised, then I'll wait until after the Nightkills to revive the person. The name will then be drawn from the list of the Nightkilled and the WereUnicorn themselves, as will be the role.

wilwarin538
03-16-2010, 02:12 PM
The name will then be drawn from the list of the Nightkilled and the WereUnicorn themselves, as will be the role.

So when one of the Unicorns dies they could potentially come back to life as well?


And what if a wolf is chosen to come back, and comes back as an innocent. Couldn't they reveal all their packmates to the whole village? If so perhaps anyone who dies should come back with the same alignment, but the role could change. Like Bob is the seer!wolf, he dies and comes back when the unicorn dies, Bob goes back to the same wolf pack but is maybe now another role (like perhaps a hunter and an ord are the other ones dead, so Bob could be another hunter!wolf or just a regular wolf (ord!wolf?haha), but for the same pack he was in before he died). That would just make it so a wolf couldn't change alignments and then be able to reveal all their mates, and conversely it would decrease the chance of more wolves being created. But the revived still get a new role no matter what.

Did any of that make sense?

Sorry if I sound nit-picky. I just know a lot of unexpected situations can arise in games with a lot of new and never-before-seen rules, and trying to predict potential problems before hand could save a lot of trouble! :)

Boromir88
03-16-2010, 02:46 PM
I must say I'm not sure this game is very balanced. It's not the 2 wolf packs. Sauce had a game he title blood bath because he had 3 wolf packs. However, they were normal wolves (so having 2-gifted wolf packs just looks too much for the innocents).

I don't know...it kind of seems like a role overload too, but my head is full on other things right now so perhaps I just need to digest everything.

Thinlómien
03-16-2010, 04:09 PM
I have to agree with those who say it's unbalanced to the evil side. The innocent have practically no chance of winning, unless we have 5-10 more players. It will be a horrible bloodbath with all the hunters, two packs of wolves and possible lover revenge kills. And if we have 13 players like now, more than half of the village is evil in the beginning and we have no ordos and not even all the special roles can be included!

I suggest at least three out of the four following, preferably all four:
a) removing the cobbler
b) removing the lovers and the anti-lover
c) removing the gifts from the wolves
d) removing the cursed
otherwise it's not going to work, at least by my logic. Sorry to say because it changes the game quite a lot... Or then you really need far far more players. This far there are already 16 special roles, so you would need more than twenty players to make this work, I would even say 25 with all this massacre...

I suggest reconsidering a bit. :) As a handy hint, make yourselves a demonstration to test the game mechanics: simulate the game and keep a tally. Just roll the dice to see who is lynched each Day and who is chosen by whom each Night. Try out with different starting roles until you find one that looks fair to all parties.

And if we got to such numbers, I'd honestly have to withdraw, much to my own regret - I know my limits.:(
I'm afraid Lommy's right - all your ideas are really cool as such, and it's a pity to lose any of them, but they may be just too much to fit into a single game. What about making a choice and keeping the rest up your sleeves for next time around?

wilwarin538
03-16-2010, 05:48 PM
Hmm. Well perhaps not necessarily getting rid of all the gifted wolves all together. Like 1 wolf pack has a seer!wolf, a hunter!wolf and a normal wolf. Then the other pack has the unicorn!wolf, ranger!wolf and a normal wolf? Too many seers/hunters/rangers can get rather out of hand. Then making the cobbler just a regular cobbler (not enough players though and he may have to go), no cursed at all, and no revenge kill from the lovers (just regular lovers that want to survive, and die together). Then I think that would be far more balanced. I love your Unicorn role, I think that's rather brilliant. What I suggested before about allignments would be the only thing I think you may want to change for that role.

Having 6 wolves certainly will not make it impossible for the village. Sally had a game with 6 wolves (I was one) and we still managed to lose, haha. So that's certainly not the problem. Just too many powers, too many oppurtunities for them to have more allies, and far too much death (yes, that is possible in a WW game, haha).

It's such a brilliant game Lottie, I can tell you guys thought this out a lot. It would be lovely to have everything the way it is, but it could very well result in your game ending far too soon. :)

Personally, I wouldn't mind removing the Cursed and Cobbler, and switching the one Hunter!wolf for WereUnicorn, but I'll have to talk to Hakon before I can do anything drastic. :)

Like I said, I'm seriously considering getting rid of the hunters altogether. The Unicorns supposedly keep the game from ending too soon, plus with three Rangers running around, the Nightkills won't be so much of a problem.

hmm, hadn't thought of that either....that makes it difficult.

Perhaps keep the hunter!wolf, but no innocent hunter. Then get rid of the unicorn!wolf and keep the innocent unicorn, and make it so that only an innocent can come back. That balances it, the hunter!wolf dies and takes someone down, the innocent unicorn dies and brings someone back, and if it only applies for innocents then we won't have to worry about allignment.

Legate of Amon Lanc

Okay, I am not so keen on too extraordinary games, but if this is made balanced somehow, I could play :)

That said, I have played in SpM's game with a ton of wolves in different packs and it was fun, however it didn't have any special rules apart from that... Here, for instance the Lovers are somewhat troubling. If you asked me about one thing which I'd suggest to be removed, it would be that and also the Cursed, as that's an immense advantage for the WWs. Really, Cursed out. The Cobbler gives and advantage too, but I think it can be fun enough with this first-dreamt of determination of taking sides in the pack war. For that matter, what if we changed the Wolf-Seers altogether and just changed them to Cobbler-seekers, i.e. they will just send one name each Night and they would be only told "negative" (the target was not the Cobbler) or "positive" (the target was the Cobbler and now they can PM with him and he is their ally - possibly, if he isn't claimed already by the other team). That would power down the Gifted Wolves, but still retain one aspect of it.

I definitely agree with the idea of making only innocent people return from the dead, as wilwa suggested.

As for the Lovers - it's not such a bad idea in itself, but I think it will be hard for them to survive. Unless they would be an exception to the rule of Unicorning, i.e. that they'd be possible to resurrect, but they would keep their Loverism after that (i.e. they could return even as Wolves or whatnot, but on top of that they would still be Lovers). And the other Lover would, of course, in that case not die, at least not immediately, he/she could either live for let's say one more Day (and hope that an Unicorn gets lynched/killed to resurrect his/her mate), or even live further on without any problem, and just hope that one day the other lover would be revived - until the game ends. Lovers would, of course, have to be shown as innocents in the list of dead in such a case, at least until the time when they'd both be gone. I would remove their revenge kills. There are too many kills already. Honestly. Unless you want the game to end in two days (not necessarily even Days), in which case you could just as well add more Hunters.

But in general, really, Mods, I suggest you to just sit down and simulate it. Try to make different situations. Think about it. That's the best way to do it.

The Seer!wolves can't see gifteds. As we are probably cutting the Cobbler (again, awaiting confirmation) they are mostly for sniffing out the other pack. The Cursed is one of the topics currently under modly debate, and it is possible it may be cut. The Lovers will be kept but they will not have a revenge kill. The Unicorns will revive ordos who used to be Innocents. This is hopefully what will happen, but no final decision as of yet.

Rules have been updated. Cursed and Cobbler have been cut, as has the revenge kill and the anti-lover/Seer!wolf pms. Because of the cuts, the game works with fourteen players...so we'll start pretty soon, if Nog and Boro can still play. :)

Looks like there are still references to the Cobbler and the Anti-Lover PMs. ;)

The Seer!wolves receive one dream every Night. If the Seer!wolf dreams of the cobbler or anti-lover, they may pm. If the Seer!wolf dreams of a rival wolf, they are only told that the player is a wolf, not their gift. If the Seer!wolf dreams of a gifted, they are told what the gift is.

Also, for clarification:

Wolves. Six of 'em. Three to a pack. Each pack of wolves consists of a Seer!wolf and a Ranger!wolf, and either a WereUnicorn or a Ranger!wolf. The wolf packs can not share victory with each other or with the innocents.

The way I interpret this, each pack will have: 1 Seer!wolf, 1 Ordo!wolf, and either a Ranger!wolf or a WereUnicorn. Right? Otherwise, the way it reads would indicate one pack would have 2 Ranger!wolves.

Please excuse me while I go bang my head against the wall for a few minutes. :o

The second Ranger!wolf was supposed to be Hunter!wolf. Sowie. :o

After looking at my work schedule I'm warning everyone in advance the first few days will see limited activity from me. The way the DL falls fits horribly into when I work so for Day 1 & 2 especially I'll probably only have a few hours to really sit down and play. Sorry work gets in the way of what's really important. :rolleyes:

Apologies for the non-vote. I just couldn't get to a computer at all during the latter half of the Day.

As Little Lottie said, I'll be calling the Day toDay. However, I have to leave an hour or so beforehand to go see one of my youth girls in the school play, so I'll need all picks before then. That means I'll need everything in in the next two hours or less. Sorry I forgot to mention it last night; I was the teensiest bit distracted. Thanks very much everyone! ^_^
