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

[Eldritch Knight]

Wait a minute.... WW IX: Hogwarts Havoc was co-narrated by Zeb, Alarra and myself - shouldn't that list reflect that? Alarra deserves all credit she's due, after all.

[Lex-Kat]

Apologies for not listing everyone. In my lists of games, both from least to most players and in order of oldest to newest, I only listed the narrator who seemed to be the primary. Some games, like WWIX, had more than two narrators, and that made the table larger than I wanted it to be. It was just meant as a quick guide for when people wanted to know which games had the most players.

But, it is nice to see credit given where it belongs.

[Abhorsen]

So I've been having a blast in the two games I've been in so far - I'm still following along in Classic, in case someone else gets autolynched and I can jump back in - and it's got me thinking about maybe someday running a variant based on the Old Kingdom books I got my name from. I'm still turning over ideas in my head, but one thought I wanted to run by you veterans is having the Clayr as sort of a hybrid of Masons and the Seer, where each Clayr has the ability to scry someone individually, at a lowered chance of success, but building up to 100% if they all scry the same person.

[Mordokai]

Abhorsen game has already been ran, by Deathslayer7, if memory serves. Check out the game archives, may give you some ideas.

I wouldn't combine Clayr into mason/seer combo. If/when wolves start hitting them, village looses two roles with one player. Seems unfair to village. Unless your intention is to start with them connected, in which case it's kinda too powerful for village. In any case, I see nothing good coming out of it.

I don't know at which point of trilogy you intend to set the game, but if you ask me, make seer and masons a separate role. Not really sure who would take the role of masons(been some time since I've read the books), but you can just make them as usual, that is, ascended villagers.

USB 7 has, finally, after far too many delays on my part for no good reason (sorry, DLD!), been submitted.

[Mordokai]

After going through Classic VIII, me and Peter decided we would like to give out narrating muscles another try. So, when the current Classic is over, we would like to reserve the right to run the next one. Theme to be decided, but probably close to the current one, aka, ancient Rome.

We can't promise the same quality as six years ago, but we can try.

This makes me

[Reinholdt]

Are we still reserving slots for WW games or just kinda doing them? Cause I'd like to reserve a spot to start a game February 14th...

At this point it might be best to start reserving. This is the most new activity I've seen in Structured in a long time...

[Penguinator]

Lex has the schedule updated on the front page with spots that have been called.

[Lex-Kat]

Reservations are once again a requirement. Yay!! Reinholdt's game has been added to the list.

Oh, and Universal Smash Bros. 7 has started recruitment.

[Sabeki]

Can I reserve a spot for February twentieth? I plan on running the Alan Wake game then.

[Lady Serpentine]

I'll reserve February 7th, since I'm going to try for a new Fae game.

[Penguinator]

Are you sure you want to run two at once? I can tell you it's not easy.

[Reinholdt]

You might have to actually clear out that inbox.

RabbitHoleLost will be co-narrating the game with me Lex.

[Lady Serpentine]

Are you sure you want to run two at once? I can tell you it's not easy.

I'm hoping having a co-narrator will make it work, and it doesn't hurt to have the spot reserved just in case until I'm sure.

You might have to actually clear out that inbox.

I'm actuallly down to 90% full!

[BasketOfPuppies]

If you don't mind me asking, why do you have so many PM's?

[Lady Serpentine]

If you don't mind me asking, why do you have so many PM's?

Saving links and hidden information and things, and a couple of private RPs between myself and some friends.

[banjo1985]

Given the flurry of February recruitments, I'd better firm my date up. Can I take March 3rd, and change my game to Advent Children V - Cocoon in Crisis?

Hold onto your butts people, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

[Mordokai]

*facepalms*

I'm going to end you, banjo.

[banjo1985]

Not if Sephiroth ends you first.

[Murska]

Ooh, new AC. :)

I've got thousands and thousands of PMs saved on my computer. That way I can keep my box reasonably empty most of the time.

[Mordokai]

Not if Sephiroth ends you first.

Yeah... fifth time in the row.

*sarcasm* Joy. *end sarcasm*

[NEWBIE]Um, what's Advent Children?[/NEWBIE]

[Cristo Meyers]

[NEWBIE]Um, what's Advent Children?[/NEWBIE]

--Final Fantasy Advent Children--
Final Fantasy Advent Children: The Return of Sephiroth
Advent Children II – The Battle for Balamb Garden
Final Fantasy Advent Children III - Burmecia or Bust
Final Fantasy Advent Children IV: Centuries of Sin

The major difference between Advent Children and other WW games is that Advent Children was built to more closely resemble, well, Final Fantasy. The daily lynch vote is a random encounter where the chosen has a chance of success, there are items, usually multiple factions...

[banjo1985]

In other words, it's complicated enough to make my brain ache and PM box weep when I run it.

Advent Children was a so-so cgi movie back in 2007, set in the aftermath of Final Fantasy VII. At the time I was obsessed with it, so I set my first WW in that world.

Potted history of the previous four games:

ACI - FF7 land. The Remnants (wolves) win when down to the last three or four players, due to excellent end game play by Valiant Turtle.
ACII - FF8, and also known as the Cristo Debacle . The Remnants win fairly comfortably, with the help of a gung-ho mason sniper and Shadow being the lynchpin of team good. Mordy nearly pitches a fit at the Remnants success.
ACIII - FF9. Introduced a second evil faction, and when all's said and done it didn't work very well. The Remnants won easily due to a few overpowered items, and the most vocal townies chasing after red herrings. At this point Mordy pretty much explodes.
ACIV - FF10. Adds a neutral faction, and tones down the items somewhat. Again the game goes down to the last four players, but yet again the Remnants pull out a win.

Despite a lot of changes between games, there are a few things that have stayed the same which make it quite an unusual WW:

- Encounter based lynches, so you're not sure the lynch target will die.
- Very small number of wolves, with a degree of lynch protection and powerful abilities making up for it.
- A village lynchpin, that if killed, provides the Remnants with many new powers. But the lynchpin starts the game in contact with their Protector, who will beast-kill one of the wolves if still alive when the lynchpin is targeted.
- Items gained from defeating encounters, and occasional set-pieces/sidequests.

ACV will take place in FF13-land, and will no doubt include game mechanics for Paradigm Shifts, Eidoloths, and the like. Because a) I can't leave well alone, and b) I'm an idiot.

Just need to get the rules pinned down now.

[Haruki-kun]

I would like to reserve the week of February 24th, please. Call the game "Turf War".

EDIT: Confirming that Wolfbane is my co-narrator for Turf War, as posted in the next post.

*blows dust off of his Werewolf Games hat and sets it back on*

Hello! I'm back. And if it matters, write me in to be Co-DM for Turf War.
