RECRUITMENT THREAD FOR VAMPIRE V: PARIS BY NIGHT IS NOW OPEN!

Am looking for 40+ players ideally, but can run with less.

[bladescape]

I'm going to be away(With possibly some sparodic internet) from the 11th to probably somewhere around the 16th. Just thought I'd let everyone know.

[Lex-Kat]

Hello. I've submitted my Top Secret Game, and would appreciate it if a nice Mod would come along and approve of it. Thank you.

[Zeb The Troll]

Done.

[Lex-Kat]

Well, the secret's out. My Little Pony: Return of Nightmare Moon is recruiting.

[Lady Tialait]

Bootleggers has started!

[Zjoot]

Bootleggers has started!

Speaking of which, can I have a list of the players and their roles please?

[Ramsus]

Speaking of which, can I have a list of the players and their roles please?

Yeah, me too!

[Lady Tialait]

Yeah, me too!

Under two conditions: 1. Be a Seer, 2. Use your ability....alot.

[Lord Loss]

I'll porbably be running a Call of Duty: Zombies WW in which Team Villager consists of unfortunate zombies who are preyed upon by the cruel survivors (Team Werewolf) who can't stand the peculiarities of zombies and believe in silly concepts like keeping their brains to themselves.

I've been coming up with rules, I'll post them when I'm done with the first draft.

I can't decide wether I want the game to have roughly equal numbers of zombies and survivors, or if I want there to be lots of zombies and only a few survivors, as is the case in most WW games.

[banjo1985]

*Banjo fully approves of a return of zombies to WW, and would like to pre-emptively sign up*

Look forward to seeing the rules. The proportion of survivors to zombies is obviously really important, because that will shape all the other rules of the game. If the sides are closer to equal than a normal WW you have a lot of things to consider:

- The survivors/wolves need a different victory condition to the norm, as they're close to equalling the zombies/villagers numbers already.

- The survivors/wolves would probably need to start the game blind, to stop them having lynch control right from the off.

- The zombies/villagers would need some pretty snazzy abilities to allow them to deal with a larger number of survivors/wolves.

Just a few initial things to consider I guess. If you want anyone to bounce ideas off of then I'd be happy to help. I love zombies, even if I hate Call of Duty.

My internet is working normally again, so I'm back up to complete capacity.

RECRUITMENT THREAD FOR VAMPIRE V: PARIS BY NIGHT IS NOW OPEN!

Am looking for 40+ players ideally, but can run with less.

UPDATE: We're up to 30 players - the game can run, but I'd need to cut 5 power roles to keep things equitable. It has enough blood, but it would be a somewhat anemic vampire. Wouldn't you prefer a more robust and hearty specimen?

Then come sign up, and know that you can make a difference in making this the full Vampire experience you've grown to love and shudder at.
(HyperLink* is in the quote above)

* (No, this isn't a little boy on caffiene) **

** (Probably.) ***

*** (Unless nobody else signs up.) ****

**** (In which case, all bets are off...)

[The Cyberwolf]

New idea for a Discworld-themed WW. Rather than sides, there are guilds - Wizards get a scry, Alchemists get a bane, Assassins get the night kill, and so on.

Watcha think?

Sounds good.

[The Cyberwolf]

I think all the guilds would be trying to outnumber everyone else. Yes, that would work.

Nitpick: Wizards aren't a guild, because they are above such things (At least, that's probably what they'd say if you asked them).

Also, I'm really not sure how the dynamics of that would work out. Someone better at balancing games can probably analyse it and pick out if there are problems, which I kind of suspect there are.

Also also, why do Alchemists get a bane?

[super dark33]

Yeah.

i think it will be like 3 are chosen to make their own guild fitting the theme, then they send it to the narrarators with their propoganda to convince people to join them. (by PMs to narrarators.)

then it starts as normal werewolf. guilds pick thire special ability (kill, rob, leech, whatever).

the players know whose in the guild.

but you need more people to be chosen as guildless so they would act as normal villagers, to prevent it from being chaos to somthing orgenized.

I don't think it'd work, unless the are more power roles with different powers from the guild power. Otherwise some guilds would be much stronger then others.

It might work if the guild got the power instead of the individuals, but yeah, Wizards or Assassins would win pretty often.

[The Cyberwolf]

Alchemists get the bane because they blow things up so much, so they have to have protection.
I wasn't planning on letting anyone know anyone else in their guild.
Feel free to edit the design. It was just a suggestion, really.

TEAMS SO FAR:
Unseen University
Guild of Assassins
Alchemist's Guild

[Internet Flea]

I wasn't planning on letting anyone know anyone else in their guild.

I think that's overwhelmingly in favor of the Scriers.

[Lord Loss]

I've started writing up rules for my COD: Zombies Werewolf.

Terrible, terrible rules, but I gotta start somewhere.

I'd appreciate a review/criticism of my rules once I post them up.

[The Cyberwolf]

In that case, let's change the Wizards' power to... day-bane? I dunno. You choose.

[Lord Loss]

How do these rules sound for an "Infector" role: George A. Romero

The father of all zombies, George A. Romero is a terrible avatar of undeath. He stalks the survivors, gathering reanimated followers as he goes along. He will stop at nothing to kill the survivors. Every night phases, he and the other zombies select a player to be devoured during the night. Additionally, every night, he can instead choose a player to infect with a 1/3 chance of success. If successful, that player turns into a zombie. The zombie has a 1/3 chance of becoming a regular zombies with no abilities, a 1/3 chance of becoming a random Special Zombie and a 1/3 chance of becoming a Special Zombie of George’s choosing.

If George is killed, his power passes to a random zombie two nights later, who loses all other powers. Non-special zombies are more likely to gain George’s powers. While George is dead, other zombies decide who is to be killed, but no recruitment attempts can be made.

George scries as an Actor.

Also, how many followers with and without powers would George start with? Should he chose these? Should he chose what special roles they are assigned?

[Helgraf]

Couple of updates : We're at 37 players. I'd like 3 more and will take as many as are willing to sign up. Currently game will run with two special roles removed; one more player means I only axe one special role. Three or more extra players means the game goes forward with every role included.

Also, RabbitHoleLost has volunteered to co-narrate, and I have accepted.

Recruitment thread continues to be here.

[Ramsus]

Similarly my game could use about 5 more players. There's a link to the game in my signature.

As far as I can see, Helgraf is guaranteeing you a power role if you sign up. You should all sign up ASAP to get it.

[Khal]

That means if I unsign up, then resign up after the next person comes in, I can get a power role, right?
