Dueling Wizards Werewolf II discussion thread

Read the thread...

I think there is a consensus now that both wizards will scry at least five people and then the mod is going to partly sort them out (so that those called for by both of the wizards will be let alone and a wizard can't scry another wizard ) and in the end the mod will randomize the eligible ones to both wizards from those left. So they will never know why they were assigned just those people in the beginning: was it because the other wizard had gone for them as well or was it just pure luck. They can sure make their own inferences from that "lottery" but that's already playing the game!

On other Nights than Night1 the one scried by both wizards will die for it. But not on the first one before the game actually starts.

I like all of the options... particularly the one involving morm, given our old werewolf history.

The marriage between myself and Roa would honour a long tradition as well. So unless morm (or Roa) protests I'll be making it thus.

So Myself and Roa will be the parents of Legate, Kitanna and Brinn. Morm is my brother, married to Celuien. Together they are the parents of McCaber and Gwath. I try to find time to update the family-map later today.

So now we have another big family and everyone in the game this far is integrated to a family. Narration / playingwise it's also good that as Eomer will be killed with me on Night1 then both families suffer a loss.

Don't be sorry... I just realised I had forgotten the smiley from there - it would belong there... I think I will add it.


Important notice:

I've made the first version of the "basic rules" ie. what a normal villager should know about the game and the rules. It can be found from the game thread. There will be a few things we should reach agreement on before the game starts so let me know what you think about them (those things are italicized there).

I'll try to come up with the "advanced rules" ie. what the minions and the wizards should know later...

Okay, here's my situation. I work until the deadline, with no internet at work. I can post during lunches and during nights (Day starts) and probably before I head to work. This means that any and all of my votes will be cast at LEAST six hours prior to deadline. Alternatively, I can text at work, and if my duckling has internet access, she may be able to proxy vote for me (only vote, no arguments, no other posting, just post my final decision) if she agrees to do so (and I'll only do that if it's absolutely necessary, e.g. my internet access is cut off for a day or two, I'm in danger of modfire to due aforementioned reason, my fingers have been cut off, etc., so for the most part all votes will come from me and any post made FOR me and not BY me will be marked as such for clarity and fairness.)



If everyone else is okay with that, you can take the question marks off my name, and let's get to werewolfing!

So I've been dating two of my cousins? Great.
(Really, I don't mind. It's just funnier that way.)

In case of a tie the one gaining the highest vote first will die (this might be subject to change as I kind of liked the test in a game sometime ago where the last one gaining the highest vote was killed).

I think it might be interesting to try the version with the last gaining the highest vote count being lynched. In the game(s?) it was used earlier there were retractable votes, which made it a bit different.

There will be no modfire so the villagers need to get rid of people they don’t trust themselves. (This is also subject to change if a majority has a strong view on this the other way. Then the ruling would be that two Days in a row with no votes would bring on the modfire).

I would say no to modfire. There will be many enough deaths anyway.

I think we should go for the usual "mod flips a coin" method, this game is complicated enough anyway...

I can't really see it adding up to the complexity of the game. I mean, be the game complicated or not, do people think about every rule all the time, even when they vote?

I'm afraid I don't get your logic. I don't know of others, but it really would be an effort to me to remember that the last one to reach the highest vote count dies, if the game is being exciting and I have to wonder about a dozen different scenarios or outcomes of the lynch when I try to vote... I'd really prefer it to be a little simpler. There's enough to keep in mind and keep an eye on with all those wizards around...

[Nogrod]

No problem Sally! Many will need to vote earlier than you according to circumstances... The questionmark will be removed. Yay!

Okay.

One vote for the last to gain the highest number of votes lynched.
One vote for random decision by mod in case of a tie.
No votes for the first to gain the highest number of votes lynched.

What say you others?
