Admin thread for Werewolf XXXI: The Unknown Enemies - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The Sixth Wizard · 03-27-2007, 03:24 AM

I would like to enter this game as my very first Werewolf. I think I have the rules worked out to the full, pretty sure I have the time to spare, want to become a Ghost Prince of Cardolan quicker (hehe, you didn't hear that) and don't object to getting a little addicted!

The only real problem is the Day/Night timetable. If by Eastern Daylight Time you mean Eastern USA then my time is ten hours behind in Australia, making the switch at 7am for me. This means that I will need to post between 7pm and 7am (the day and night are 12 hours each, right?) if I'm a Day denizen! I just don't know how this will work as I will probably miss the vote a few times...

No need to worry: the days and nights are 24 hours each, so you will have the possibility to play whenever your daily schedule allows. And let me tell you there's nothing better for a good night's sleep than going to bed not knowing whether you'll still be in the game the next morning.

Great to have a new player on board!

Concerning occupation, I will be a... Ninja Wizard!

Xyzzy is the only on so far to have a sane occupation...

Could anyone describe to me what the more complex roles are and how they fit in? For instance, what does a 'werebear' do, or was that just a joke?

Meneltarmacil · 03-27-2007, 03:34 PM

The werebear's role is pretty simple. The bear (or some other werecreature) kills one villager each night independently of the wolves. The bear is not allied with the wolves and does not know who they are. The bear and the wolves are just as dangerous to each other as they are to the villagers.

I am not saying that there will or will not be another werecreature independent of the wolves in this game, just answering The Sixth Wizard's question.

I'm not sure if that helps too much as I see Menel's idea is to surprise us in the first place and thence make the game somewhat unpredictable to say the least...

But fex. a werebear should be a baddie who plays for her/his own, eg. apart from the "Wolfgang"

(I've never played a werebear-game so this is just an impression) and a cobbler would be a villager who is otherwise innocent but wishes for the wolves to win. Lovers are two players of whom another is a goodie and another is a baddie and when one dies for whatever reason the other goes as well (they can normally PM during the game, within possible limitations). A birthday dreamer gets to dream of the role of someone in the game at a certain Night that is foretold to all and thence changes to the role of the one s/he has dreamt of.

The Mythomaniac I don't remember right now but I think it had something to do with being a role where the one playing it could transform people to her/his side during the Nights... You others who have played a Mythomaniac-game might fill us all in doubt with this one...

And Menel, maybe you should just settle for an average number of players? It might actually take pretty long time to fill this roster of twenty up as it seems that not all ww-players are too happy with too many surprises - I mean otherwise this would be full already?

So please consider.

EDIT: X'd with Menel...

I'll cut the number down to 18 for now, and will consider reducing that to 15 if things go on like this for too long.

After much thought, I've decided I shall be The Clumsy Blacksmith.

You know, that can be a tad dangerous. I'm so accident-prone, I'm surprised I'm not dead...yet.
