Re: Werewolf Central VIII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
I've been busy. I got it right around the time my deity was spawned in an LOC game, and the next seven or so hours were spent writing up her introductory post.
Anyway, as far as the request goes, sorry, but I don't think you'd fit for a co-narrator in the capacity I'd want one.

The question is -> who will be what role?
"I'm just going on motive and opportunity here and the fact that if the earth got swallowed by a black hole, I'd look suspiciously in your direction first."
~ Timberwolf
"I blame Castaras. You know... In general."

Re: Werewolf Central VIII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
I did actually submit a WW game thread but I think it's going to be rejected by the mods on the grounds that I don't have the foggiest idea what I'm doing.
Shame really, I was going to narrate it through the medium of really bad poetry.

Re: Werewolf Central VIII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
I guess you'll find out on the 11th, when they get back.
But as long as it doesn't break the forum rules, my understanding is that the general thing is 'if it's broken and people still want to play, that's their problem'.
You mind putting up the rules here, so that it can be looked over for balance and such?

Re: Werewolf Central VIII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
Not actually played a Werewolf variant before, but I'd like to learn sometime- so if anyone could point me to a relatively simple variant that's recruiting, I'd be grateful.
Beyond that, I'm also (from an archive trawl in the last day or two) considering the ruleset for a variation of my own with something more of a science fiction going on space opera feel to it...
Now, due to my inexperience, this might end up as just a refluffing of something else, but I'd make every effort to make the fluff awesome.
Edit: Who am I kidding, my proposed Nebula Pirates system is probably going to be as complicated as all of the rest, considering the ideas I'm thinking on at the moment...Last edited by Mercenary Pen; 2012-02-07 at 10:52 AM.

Re: Werewolf Central VIII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
I only know of two WWs recruiting right now. Meta WW, by.... Ramsus and Bladescape. The other is Writer's Block, by me.
Meta WW is.... far from simple, it is going to be a combination of variants. ALL TEH VARIANTS!!!!!
Writer's Block is still not simple at all, but at least there are no secret roles or events. it's not hard to say it will be simpler than Meta WW (sorry), but it's still not "relatively simple". There's six factions. SIX. And everyone has TWO powers. Yeah. Far from simple. But, again, sorry to the authors of Meta WW, it will be simpler than the other currently recruiting.
If there are others recruiting now, sorry, I missed them in my glance through, shoot me a link and I'll probably join that one too.Demilich avatar by Smuchmuch. Thank you VERY much!

Re: Werewolf Central VIII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
Yeah, I'd already seen writer's block, and that seemed rather too complicated for my first ever game, so if the other recruiting game is more complex, I'd best give that a miss too for the moment.
In all fairness, the one I have an idea for is not going to be simple, if only because simple won't give it the feel I want it to have- I mean I'm considering a higher ratio of "Wolves" to "Villagers" offset by expendable defences that'll cut the number of kills in the early game- and choices of weapons for the wolves, some of which will be more readily traced than others...Part of YugiohITPAvatar by Smuchmuch

Re: Werewolf Central VIII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
Fae Werewolf is... Not currently recruiting, exactly, at least that I'm aware of, because I'm pretty sure the thread wasn't approved before the mods ended up without internet until the 11th, but it should go up when they get back, or shortly thereafter. It's simpler than Writer's Block or Meta WW (no offense to Flabort, Ramsus, and Bladescape; complexity isn't necessarily bad), but after that... It depends on your definition of 'relatively simple'. If you want to take a look at the rules, I can dig up and repost them?

Re: Werewolf Central VIII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
Agreed, complexity in itself isn't bad- it just doesn't lend itself easily to learner players.
I'd appreciate a look over the rules for Fae Werewolf, and I have space in my PM box if you'd rather not repost them in this thread.
Expect me to have an outline up for the basics of Nebula Pirates within the next two or three days, if only so that people can point out the ways I have completely broken the system...Part of YugiohITPAvatar by Smuchmuch

Re: Werewolf Central VIII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
I, unfortunately, do not have space in my PM box to send it to you. I'm at 99% full, and I need that for the various TW, Chaos Diplomacy, WW, and LOC games I'm in. Plus, more eyes can't hurt So here they are:
SpoilerBasic Rules Outline:
Spoiler48-72 hour day phases, 24-48 hour nights
Three teams, two opposed, and one neutral.
Everyone starts blind, with the exceptions of The Watcher and The Glass-maker.
Helgraf's Scry Interference is active, so if two people scry the same target, they get a simple reading of "Interference". However, due to the large number of seers in the game making such a more likely possibility than normal, the rule is modified so that if more than two people scry the same person, they each are informed that they are a randomly chosen role other than their real one (this role is randomly determined for each seer; they do not all receive the same information.).
Items can be transferred day or night.
Certain roles can choose to transfer their powers to a known non-powered member of their faction, but only during the night phase.
The Fae (Town):
Spoiler
Win Condition:
SpoilerKill all Hunters, and release or kill all enslaved Fae. Certain roles have their own win conditions in addition to this.
Roles:
SpoilerEnchanter: Once a day or night you can choose one person and redirect their vote or action to the target of your choice. This includes night kills. However, you cannot use this again until the next phase has passed. So, for example, if you choose to redirect a vote, you couldn't use your ability again until the next night passed.
The Gruagach: Once a night/day you can choose to protect one person from lynching, or night actions. However, if Arafel dies, you can choose, instead, to kill one person during the day or night phases.
Arafel, Keeper of the Tree of Swords and Jewels: During the day you can choose one person to protect from lynching, or in the night phase you can choose one known member of the neutral team to give a jewel from the Tree to, thus making them count, for purposes of powers and item restrictions, as a non-powered Fae in addition to their actual role.
The Glass-maker: You are one of the Dreamers. So long as both of you are alive, you may each choose one target to scry each night. However, if the Watcher dies, you can choose each night to either return them to life or void any night action(s) taken by one person. You start knowing the Watcher.
The Watcher: You are one of the Dreamers. So long as both of you are alive, you may each choose one target to scry each night. However, if the Glass-maker dies, you can choose each night to either return them to life or call one of the members of another team, changing their role to that of a non-powered Fae. You start knowing the Glass-maker.
The Keeper of the March: Once a night you may choose to kill one player, or protect them from lynching the next day by keeping them in your home. However, any player so protected is forbidden from voting the next day, or the protection is rendered void.
Courtier: The standard role with no powers.
The Hunters (Wolves):
Spoiler
Win Condition:
SpoilerKill or enslave all Fae.
Roles:
SpoilerThe Forger: Once a night you can choose to create an iron amulet, which protects the bearer against any night actions taken by the Fae, a suit of armor, which protects against any night kills, or an iron collar, which allows the owner to attempt to enslave someone once per night until successful.
Slayers (At least two; exact number dependent on number of players): You start with an iron sword, which allows you to kill one player each night.
Tracker: Once each night, you may choose to scry one player.
Guardian: You may choose to protect one player each day/night from night kill or lynch.
Hunter: The standard non-powered role.
The Mercenaries:
Spoiler
Win Condition:
SpoilerAll roles have their own win conditions.
SpoilerThe Mage: Once a day or night, you may choose to kill one player, or once per night you can remove the collar from an enslaved Fae.
The Mirror: Once every other day you may choose to redirect a lynching onto the first person to vote for someone, or once every other night you can choose to redirect any night actions other than scries and banes against one player back onto the person that performed them.
Assassin: You start with a crossbow, which allows you to kill one player each night.
Spy: Once each night you can choose to scry one player.
Soldier: The standard unpowered role.
Items:
SpoilerIron Amulet: Protects against all night actions taken by Fae. Cannot be used by or traded to Fae.
Iron Sword: Allows you to kill one player each night. Cannot be used by or traded to Fae.
Iron Collar: Allows you to bring a single Fae per collar onto your team. Cannot be used by or traded to Fae.
Suit of Armor: Protects the owner from night kills.
Elfstone: An elfstone from the Tree of Swords and Jewels. Cannot be used by Hunters. Makes the owner count as an unpowered Fae for purposes of power transference and item restrictions.
Crossbow: Allows the owner to kill one player each night.

Re: Werewolf Central VIII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
lol, why are you guys apologizing for free advertising? It's not like the aim for Meta WW was simplicity or anything. Really, aiming for anything in particular at all would probably have ended in disappointment. I would like it if we could get a few more players though. Though maybe some of those who are gone will join when they come back. Like Qwaz.

Re: Werewolf Central VIII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
Unless you were directly involved in causing the incident I couldn't see how any of this would reflect poorly upon you or your game. I don't know since I haven't followed Medieval or bothered to look it up.
Your insistence to bring it up seems like a sign of guilty conscience though.

Re: Werewolf Central VIII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
Eh. People will make all sorts of associations. If all everyone who's not in it sees about Medieval is the thing with Superdark, when it comes time for the next game, even if they've forgotten just why, they might be reluctant to join it because somewhere in the back of their minds is the association of the game with cheating and unpleasantness.

Re: Werewolf Central VIII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
I read the rules and it doesn't seem too complicated. I like the idea of enslaving people, but what do they exactly do when they are enslaved?
Do they join the wolves/follow wolf orders, or are they considered dead for the time they are enslaved?
Some good items (Crossbow! Favorite weapon)
So I'll join as soon as the thread is up, can't wait.

Re: Werewolf Central VIII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
That's impressive. Especially seeing as how I've signed up for every single werewolf game since I joined this part of the forum, and I'm only ever alive in five to seven at max. In fact, now that I think about it, there have only been a few games that I've even done well in; the vast majority seee me killed by the wolves early on, which is funny because I'm never that threatening.
Anyways, @ Mercenary Pen: I think its been long enough to get a simple variant like Classic or Mafia started. It's always fun to learn in larger games, if we can get a narrator.Awesome Lion Avatar by the wonderful Mr. Saturn. Thanks
I have a bloog now. Go check it out if you love strange poetry.

Re: Werewolf Central VIII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
Exactly what I was thinking. I could try to narrate it, would be my first time, but maybe I should start as a co-narrator on a simple game and then start one of my own.
So if someone (experience appreciated) would like to start a classic WW game with me as co-narrator, I would love to try it.

Re: Werewolf Central VIII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
@Penguinator: You still didn't really answer my questions as far as I could tell. What did anything I said here have to do with that subject? Especially the line you quoted. Sounds like you're annoyed at other people for not dropping the subject and pinning it on me when I dropped it quite a while ago.
Edit: And no, I haven't been following Assassins. I tend not to follow games where I died too early to get attached to. Especially if I think my death was stupid (not the narration, I meant on the part of the people who killed me).Last edited by Ramsus; 2012-02-07 at 05:49 PM.

Re: Werewolf Central VIII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!
Why the hell does his comment have to mean that you said anything?
As far as I can tell from casual observation, it just seems to me like he quoted your piece because that's what part of the conversation led him on to asking for that.
EDIT:
And since I'd like not to clog up Assassins with any more debate about anything offtopic:
If you're gonna give an example to someone else, then at least freaking well do a good one. Thufir and Firemeier's reactions were much more accurate and on the spot.
And I'm guessing you'll want an explanation for my comment as well. So let's see. You're alikening a mother trying to comfort a child over something he's done wrong and tried to fix by doing something more wrong....
To Rune saying that action is better than inaction? He never said SuperDark's actions are right. He never tried to comfort SuperDark. ALL he said is that getting the courage to try doing something, even wrong, is better than sitting back. How are they similar? The whole motivation is different.
And I could even go on a rant here, but I'll leave it.
