WW Central VI: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!

[rakkoon]

Posted. I was in a meeting for one hour, come back and bamm.
Funny thing was that I was innocent in one and guilty in the other so it evens out.

[happyturtle]

The recruitment thread for Llama Llama Duck has been posted. Join one join all!

[Zombieninja]

Where is it?

[happyturtle]

It's in the moderation queue. It should turn up in the next day or two.

Now announcing Mafia XI - City of Death... Bootleggers vs. The Prince of Death

The year is 1931 - Probibition is still in effect. The City on the river is secretly ruled by the Prince and his minions. The hold on the city is complete... until a new group of Bootleggers (Gangsters) from the Two Cities Across from each other on the Really Big River invade the City to take paying customers.

The undead Prince and his minions seem to have forgotten that it's not blood that makes the City run smoothly... nor even graft... it's the sweet taste of beer. ("I would kill everyone in this room for a drop of sweet beer." -Homer Simpson)

When do you want the game to start? When do you want to begin recruiting?

[Mordokai]

The sooner, the better

[Andre Fairchilde]

I'm thinking that Classic needs to be towards the end game (perhaps 20 players left or less) and that LLD needs to be a few days into the game before we get to Mafia.

Not to mention any other larger (40+) games that are going.

[Fawkes]

By the way, Zombies! has ended with five villagers surviving.

[billtodamax]

Andre! Was I co-narrating for that?

[Andre Fairchilde]

If you like, then yes! I can't remember and am too lazy to look through the posts to see. If you're volunteering - you're hired!

[billtodamax]

Huzzah!

*puts on co-narrating pants*

[The Bushranger]

Mafia! Yes!

[Dr. Bath]

Hey hey. I am considering taking up Llama's offer of certain game mechanics for a pokeymans game. There will definitely be changes, and it will most likely be a small game (20 people-ish with luck).

Would there be any objection to me running this out of schedule/at all?

[Mordokai]

None from me.

[Deathslayer7]

Mafia! Yes!

are you thinking what i'm thinking.

and games of less then 20 people dont need to be scheduled.

but i kind of feel overshadowed with LLD recruiting before hand and Mafia recruiting after. <.<

[Andre Fairchilde]

I don't want to impose on the schedule - because I'm sure you all suspect, and you're right - I don't look at it.

We'll fit it in. Remember that DM wan't to run another Classic when this one finishes too.

[Lex-Kat]

Don't forget, you have Monster Mash III scheduled for April 19th.

[Andre Fairchilde]

Ok, that's a little brutal one. Assuming that one of the groups isn't lynched on Day 1 again, it'll go fast.

It may play out before Mafia anyway.

[The Bushranger]

are you thinking what i'm thinking.

"Yes, Minister."

[Deathslayer7]

I don't want to impose on the schedule - because I'm sure you all suspect, and you're right - I don't look at it.

We'll fit it in. Remember that DM wan't to run another Classic when this one finishes too.

i dont mind. I just dont want everyone joing LLD and mafia then there's nothing for Abhorsen. Although I dont expect more then 25 players to be honest. All my games have been 26-28.

Reverse WW has ended with a Victory for the Villager!

Congratulations to Thufir for a game well played, I don't think anyone voted for him other than a random vote on day 1.

In a few years, when this comes out, I challenge everyone for a few rounds. It will be glorious!

[Zombieninja]

I want SO MUCH to play that game

[Murska]

Heheheh. That will be awesomely awesome.

[RedScholarGypsy]

Oh, yeah, Thufir, my game on 4/12 will be Bounty Hunters 2: Trial by Gunfire

[billtodamax]

My internet died. I'm posting this from dads iPhone. Please don't auto me.

I'm back from my spring break. *waves*

[Jontom Xire]

Hi, all.

After YOW I had an idea for a useful new rule to be added to games. It helps prevent what everyone in that game complained about: Masons outing themselves and then leading everyone by the nose. It replaces the rule often seen in games where players are outright banned from revealing their role to others on pain of narrator sourced insta-death. A rule that I dislike as being both unenforcable (PMs ruin it as do dropping hints) and too rigid. So here I give you...Jontom's Called Kill:

During the night, INSTEAD of the usual night kill, a called kill can be used. This only works on power roles. The person sending in the night kill must state:

1) That they are using a called kill.
2) Who the target is.
3) What their role in the game is.

If they get the role correct then the kill cannot be baned or blocked by any means. If they get it wrong then the kill fails.

The impact is that if any player outs themselves, with the help of a fellow mason, as a mason in order to form a network, even if the baner follows through by baning that player, team evil can still kill them and thus prevent a network forming. It also prevents other roles doing similar things.

Advantages:

This rule dissuades players from openly declaring their roles.
Players may still bluff etc. by declaring themselves as having a role they don't have to fool the wolves.
Players with roles may still use a proxy.

Disadvantages:

Players cannot form networks by openly declaring their roles. Ok, so this is the reason for the rule, but in some games this was at times an essential tactic.
If team evil fail to kill the baner who is protecting themselves, they can guarantee to kill them the next night.

Narrators use this rule with caution. I still miss some of the old-school WW games where players outed themselves to win the game, but with the risk of making another player vulnerable as the baner was protecting only them. However YOW was a bit of a joke, with an impenetrable mason bank and me leading the voting so directing almost every lynch.

-----

After Reverse WW and a discussion about team good night kills I had an idea.

Jontom's Hot Potato.

There is a hot potato. On night one it gets given by the narrator to a random player. The player will die the next night. In that night phase they MUST specify who they give it to next. It can go to members of team evil as well as members of team good.

The rule needs a bit of work. I.e. what happens if the player with the potato doesn't specify who it gets given to next or is simply away? You could also add a random chance that the player with the hot potato doesn't die if they pass the potato on before the end of the night phase.

One thing I like about the rule is that team good will be trying to give it to team evil which, in effect, gives them an extra night kill. I think it woudl work really well with a game like Llama Llama Duck.
