If I write rules for a Scott Pilgrim WW (both movie and book versions) would anyone care to run it? I'm far too lazy to do it myself.

Re: WW Central VII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
I'm a poor co-narrator, just ask Onasuma.
Seriously though, I need to have a strong connection to the story/setting of any game I run or help to run. Without that I lose interest and become a liability. So to conarrate a game I would have to be really into the setting, and that hasn't happened here yet. I'd love to help new narrators get started, but in general I'm going to be more use in this thread commenting on rules, roles and balance than I am trying to help them conarrate.

^^ Is PMing allowed in the game? If so, having a role that can go public is actually a benefit as you can coordinate the whole good team.

Re: WW Central VII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
I assume the predator still votes during the day, but the vote doesn't count, yes? I'd say that this isn't a good idea, since it's too easy to exploit to find him, if the stealth doesn't mean he can't post, in which then it'd be obvious anyway. That together with the fact that he needs to be the last one alive but doesn't have any survival abilities and that if he wants to kill he must be in other games, so a new player would have even less chances with him.
If you want a multi-faction game, you should give the other factions a reason to not kill one of them right away. The way things are I'd give the predator three days tops, and that if he can post, otherwise he's dead night one.
Edit: I'd suggest to take a look at other multi-faction games, maybe the witchunt ones with the werewolf role.Last edited by Gray Mage; 2011-04-12 at 08:25 PM.

Re: WW Central VII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
well as far as that there only is one public role, which can be recruited to... I don't see this as a problem as long as the bad guyes keep op the masqurade and claim good roles... plus you can't be 100% sure in trusting the captain as he to can be recruited... or am i totaly off with my thoughts here...
well the ide is that the predator doesen't even post in tread just pm the narrator with intrest in the role and if he gets it he pm narrator with actions... and becaus marins have to go public to shoot at the predator making them self target of aliens.... well its just a idea to try somthing diffrent the all the other ww's
and i have been looking at alot of ww rules and reading alot of ww playing treads to look at tacktiks... but don't know how it will work :)Avartar by Ceika

Re: WW Central VII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
Fatbelly V - Who's for Dessert is underway! Wow, it feels weird saying that after so long...
As for Blood_caller's game, it looks potentially interesting, and I don't think you'd be treading on anyone's toes by running it. It seems like a cross between a normal WW game and Assassins, a game that was played here a while ago where you got PM's your targets and had to 'kill' them by posting a shot right after them in any thread. One thing I would say is that it favours those who have A LOT of time to check through the forums, and those that post in all areas. People like me who only really check a few places would be fairly useless as the Predator, and just as useless at finding him.
Also, if the Predator never has to post in the thread, even to sign up, it's going to be near impossible to find him. There are 40-odd thousand members of this forum, and a thousand or more posts every day. I wouldn't fancy the marine chances. But as Tydude says, if the Predator has to sign up and doesn't post during the day or his vote doesn't count, well that makes him obvious if the villagers stack the vote right. It's a difficult one to balance I think.
If the Predator's vote counted, and instead of killing out of thread they instead had a codeword to include in a post to activate a kill, maybe that would be more viable?

Re: WW Central VII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
Can you put down a tentative Alien Invasion IV for the first week of July, which I believe is the Monday 4th or Sunday 3rd ( depending on how you're dating it, not sure. <.< )
Ruleset will be put up for critique closer to the date. Although it will most likely be the same as before (normal werewolf game, only difference is no information is given on whether someone is baned or killed).Last edited by Castaras; 2011-04-14 at 06:12 AM.

Re: WW Central VII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
Which reminds me, since LT is going to be busy for the first part of Insane Mafia, do I have a backup narrator? I just realized that since this is my Senior year, and I am a senior, and the date falls right around graduation, there is a possibility that I won't be able to be on at critical times (although I usually manage to make room). Rather safe than sorry, any volunteers? BTW, in case things do work out with LT, I will not be sharing the "Big Secret" until about recruitment time.

Re: WW Central VII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
I'm putting up an away notice for the next week and a half or so due to a heavy amount of essays, midterms, and homework that will probably make it so this is the last chance I'll have to get on in a while. This goes for Llama llama duck and Fatbelly. I'll try to PM the respective narrators, but if I don't, someone let them know please.
Thanks goes to Vampire Pumpkin for my awesome avatar!

Joos! *does cartwheels*
I know Andre Fairchilde has been keeping the series going, but I don't think he's running one right now. I can assure you that you'll get interest, though. His always fill up. If you want to keep with the series, I think Mafia XII is the next one due. You might want to get in touch with Andre and see if he had any plans for it or not. I believe that Mafia falls under the auspices of "big name games which have no difficulty attracting players" so scheduling would be mostly at your discretion.
Of course, Thufir is the manager of the calendar and I defer to his organization skills for keeping track of who's doing what and when.Want to meet some of the most awesome people on the internet? Come to the Baltimore/DC Area RenFest Meetup 2012!

I believe that Andre does have plans for it.
But, InaVegt started up Mafia Classic a while ago. Maybe you could run Mafia Classic II, and keep the Noir going there.
Oh, and might I add, if you guys had joined Assassins IV, you would have known Joosbawx had returned awhile ago.

Re: WW Central VII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
wow, that was quite then reception, thanks all.
alrighty...well...I will send some PMs and see if there is room on the schedule for a Mafia game sometime relatively soon. I am thinking of doing a second run of the first game I narrated with the Maltese Falcon rules.
link to the Mafia III thread with rules.
if someone in charge wants to PM me about an opening for this, please do.
looks like there may be an opening for May 9th...again, don't wanna step on anyone's toes, though.Last edited by Joosbawx; 2011-04-20 at 04:39 AM.

Re: WW Central VII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
So, in an effort to not step on the toes of anyone that is already associated with Mafia and Mafia Classic...would it be best to make the Noir style game its own "brand"...since it does use the Maltese Falcon and have different and extra rules than a straight Mafia or Mafia Classic game? It wouldn't necessarily be run back to back like these other games are, but just as an occasional dust-off for nostalgia purposes?
Probably call it something like: The Maltese Falcon
Also, it seems that there is still an available opening to start May 9th...is that cool with everyone?
