hmmmm....i was wondering. is there any way to incorperate some more independent stratagies into werewolf? i like the sound of guild, gil-galad. it would be nice if you could make different alliances throughout the game, but i don't know how you could keep them private so the wolves wouldn't nip htem in the bud. i've always wished werewolf (or mafia, before i came to BD's) could be a little more than a bunch of ordo's randomly lynching peole. granted that's not what it is, but it seems like that sometimes, especialy when you're playing an oral game. forums make it allot more fun, but still i can't help feeling kind of helpless/random throughout.

Well, these ideas all sound fun, but they aren't really Werewolf in essence. The heart is just wolves versus villagers. Adding so much more just confuses the game, and in the end it is nowhere near the actual game. But, if people like the new things, try them anyway. It's whatever the players want.

Gil, putting so many wolves in the game wouldn't necessarily mean more people. You could just make all the villagers have a special role. For instance:

6 wolves (2 teams of 3)
3 rangers
3 hunters
2 seers

And maybe let the rangers PM so they can cordinate their protection. This would give the villagers more chance for staying alive, and the extra hunter(plus the other wolf team) ups the chance that the wolves will die each night.

The only problem we had with the multiple kills each night was that the village died so quickly. Granted, in WWIIX, the villagers did win, but it was because they got a wolf Day 1, and had the other two within 4 days. The other game with a Beorning had the bear dead on Day two. My point is that, with so many wolves, the double nightly killings are likely to last the whole game, and that's something the village will probably not survive.

Oh, and where is Perky? Have we decided to skip him?

The other game with a Beorning had the bear dead on Day two.

I'll correct you on that there Gurthang. It was Day 3 or 4 by the time I got lynched. Or at least I think it was, you could be right.

As for your idea there. I like that. Why don't we have the Hunters and Seers contact each other as well, that way, they have more chance of pinning the Wolves instead of wasting a dream on each other. And the Hunters won't be able to pick the same person and then they'd know who's innocent as well.

Glad to see that some of you like my idea of rotating the games a bit. That way, in the gang WW and Mith's one day WW, we'd be able to have a lot of people involved and we should allow double lynches, but no mass lynches. And then if we have enought player's we could have all the roles in one game. We could have the Wolves, Ranger, Hunter, Seer, Cobbler, Bear, Beorning, Mytho, Guardian and any other I missed out, but I think we should reserve something like that for a once in a year annual event. Maybe starting sometime in Feburary because semster two begin for us around then and we won't be to busy with all the hustle and bustle of the holidays. So what do you guys think of that idea?

Oh, yes... sorry. I didn't go back to check. I just remember it being pretty early in the game.

All this talk is exhausting me... what I really want to know is when the next game is starting!

Yub, yub commander. When is the next game scheduled?
And also I don't know if this is a good idea or not but I thought up another role since the villagers have been having a hard time.

Twin- The twin is the twin of any person (other than an ordinary) in the game. The twin knows what the other person is but the other person does not know who the twin is. The twin's sibling will be picked at random and every night the twin is informed of who the sibling has picked. (If the sibling is the Ranger then the Twin will be aware of who is being defended. If the sibling is the Seer then the Twin will be aware who the dream is of but NOT what the dreamed person is. With the Hunter and the Wolf you just get the name.)

Opinions?

I think this is just visioning for a game to come someday; I suppose Perky's game is the nxt to come.
