Also, seeing how popular the game still is, we should maybe introduce a 2 games-in-a-row maximum for players. Anyone else think this might be a good idea?

Or maybe run games concurrently? There is a lot of interest in both playing and moderating. Maybe there should be an occasional game for novices only - it does seem that the very experienced players can dominate (until they are killed for being too dangerous) . I don't think there should be permanent divisions but if there were enough players for 2 games at a time it might be interesting and helpful to let the beginners and novices have a game to themselves while those who played more got a game where they won't be automatic choices for werewolves night 1...

I love the idea! I think it would add an interesting element of complexity and yet give those who are a bit green around the collar some good experience.

Mithalwen brings up a most excellent point. Some players are big targets just because of their experience and may never get to live past a couple of days again.

Edit: Should we all stop talking now? I have been taken aback by how quickly this game has started!

That's a great idea. Maybe someone could put together a beginner's game in the Novices and Newcomers Forum? With the forum administrators approval, of course. Perhaps with a certain maximum time on the downs... say four or five months? That would help a lot of people get experience, and would elminate the possible confusion of having two simultaneous WW games going in Mirth.

Yes, I can definitely see that happening. But what can be done?

I agree with that. If it's possible, I could mod the first one, but could I still participate in this one?? I'm after all not quite a begginer now. I did after all fool all of you. As if you thought I was the wolf!! Sheez!!!

It's a vaid point. I, personally, don't think it should be in Nocives and Newcommers. Although you'd be a newcommer to the game, I don't think the thread is one that belongs in that forum. It just seems too...myrth. Having multiple games does sound intriguing, though. PM's out the wazoo!

That's just my two cents!

Having games for novices and experianced is intreging, but at the same time seems like it is forcing. Strategies do include different people of different levels. You can learn more being thrust into it too. So I'm not sure, the idea of having the two different levels seems to make sense, but I'm not sure if it'd work as well as planned.

Having two games going at a time may help with numbers at least though

I personaly think we should start a game for those newcomers who want to play in the WW games, that way, as said before, they get experience for the real thing. I'm volunteering for the possison of mod, only if the Admins don't have a problem with there being a junior version of WW that is. If we have a junior version, it might make the members more interested in playing WW, sooooo...... It's all up to the Admins though..............
