Ahhh yes I see your point!

OK so no way are the Seer and Weaver allowed to talk. Should the Seer and Ranger be able to chat? Oh and do you think it a good ideas for the Weaver to have one pick during the Day and one at night?

Secret Admirers Game:

Each person has a secret admirer, and when a person is killed, their secret admirer dies with them out of heartbreak.

If a person’s secret admirer has already been killed, then they must die alone.

Everyone knows whom they admire, but they do not know who admires them.

Game would include: Three Wolves, Seer, Ranger, Hunter; possibly Cobbler.

Would be played in a very large ‘village.’

Okay, so I just like to kill people...

I'm not sure if this has ever been brought up but an idea that just came to me is that of a revolving seer.

Let's say on night 1 the mod randomly designates one innocent ordo to be seer. They dream of somebody and that dream is kept to them. Now the role of seer remains in them throughout the day and if they are killed at night or day the gift of the seer is dead and will not come back, if however they live it will be randomly assinged the next night to another ordo, it could be the same as the night before but it must be random.

This would make it difficult for the wolves to spot but also there may be some overlap in dreams which could be detrimental to the villagers.

Morm, I like it. Both simple and interesting, and not so difficult to be Moderator for.

Well, considering that each person dies when the one they admire does, once one person got killed, it would start a chain reaction of admirer's dying. Could kill the whole village the first Day.

Although, I assume you mean that only the lynchee/wolf victim's admirer dies, and not the admirer's admirer.

Would the wolves be admirer's, too? Truthfully, it would seem like the wolves have too great a chance of dying if they did.

Has anyone ever planned a game where every wolf would have a lover? That could be great fun, and chaos.

Actually, I think Diamond was thinking about doing something like that. Although, they weren't all going to be wolves, since they would each be on a seperate team. Just browse back a couple of pages, it shouldn't be too far back there.

Good points, Gurthang. Yes, I did mean stopping the killing at just one admirer. And yes, the wolves would be admirers, too....

Perhaps only lynched victims' admirers die....though that makes no sense.

Okay, here's an idea thanks to CaptainofDespair, actually:

Beyond the Grave:

One villager, after they die, is notified of the identity of one wolf. They then get to choose one person to PM who they think is innocent, and inform them of who is a wolf. The person, if innocent, can say what they want about who the wolf is, but they cannot inform the village of how they know. No one knows who that one villager is (not even the villager themselves), and when they are killed, they still appear only as an 'ordinary villager.'

I imagine this would possibly replace at least one of the Gifteds...though really it just seems it would add a great deal of frustration onto the game for the one person the special villager chooses, if that person is an innocent.

Thinlómien · 06-27-2006, 10:32 AM

Thanks, Gurth. Anyway I'd like too se the all wolves have a lover -game tried. It would be tricky; the wolves would have to really think about their loyalties. I think in that case the wolves could win as wolves or as lovers, but their lovers only as lovers. That'd be a great deal of fun.
