The second option would usually be the best choice.

The problem with that is after getting one wrong, they will know they are the fool, and know they still have a chance of being right. Then they may just try to lynch everyone they scry as wolf, causing many non-wolves to be killed because of it, making it good for the wolves.

Maybe they get a special message when they pierce something. Instead of "Player X is you", they get, "Something scrapes across your mind, and for an instant you see clearly. Player X is The Tamagotchi Terror".

And the Seer could get the same message, but for them it means their scry becomes complete nonsense.

[Ramsus]

I don't see the problem as that's basically what the Fool does in a normal game. How aggressive they are about it is always dependent on the player. In either case they know ahead of time the information they have is unreliable. On that note, the Seer has the exact opposite issue and I don't see you declaring that to be a problem.

The problem I was really worried about was having a fool in an all power role game, where they will be the least useful role, because they don't get solid results. I think I figured it out though.

[Penguinator]

I know I used a very subtle differentiation in one game (Ramsus' Scry Interference rules in effect). The Fool received "Player X appears to be..." when their scries were incorrect. They managed to hit interference several times (thus making the scry accurate), and when their scry became correct, it read, "Player Y is..." Subtle enough that they didn't catch on until late into the game.

Awesome, now to follow along and see how poorly I would have done if it were me in there!

[lililota]

I have noticed over the years that players seem to be under the mistaken impression that they need to win oodles of games and/or win as werewolf and/or lynch all the scums as villager and/or never lynch villagers as villager in order to be a decent player.

Yeah, you should see ATPG's win record on CFC. That should disabuse you of the notion that good players don't lose.

[Porthos]

Gonna drop out of lurk mode and let everyone know that Game One is OVAR!

Well played, Zack. Had you pegged as soon as CPHoya died. How the hell you managed to keep your neck out of the noose, I'll never know. Massive play there. Take a bow, you deserve it.

Though I will admit to wiffing on your wolfbuddies.

[Murska]

Good players lose less often. But to be a decent player, all you need to do is make an honest attempt to follow the game and be active.

[ThePhantom]

Hmm, given current events, do the folks here think that another round of Phantom of the Opera Werewolf is in order?

[Lex-Kat]

I know I've always enjoyed your games, Phantom.

I honestly believe I'm a fairly good player.... and I used to be a lot better. And not depending on the number of games I've won, because I believe that number to be fairly low. But I have helped lynch plenty of wolves, and I've successfully lead the wolves a time or two as well. I am a better narrator, I suspect. And I've never been too good at early wolf-detection.

Honestly, if you're active, even following the game is optional. The most fun games were the ones where players were utterly unpredictable, like the Mason that helped lynch the other, claimed, Mason, or the guy who mechanically revealed himself as town during the night phase.

[Cyber Punk]

I'd like to expand my forum game horizons! That'd prolly be later-ish, since I'm getting busier. It's likely I won't jump on the chance to host the next RAF. (Couldn't even type the narration yesterday night, I was so tired.)

For when I get freer, though, tell me all about it!

Also can the next host of "Circle Of Assassins" PM me when sign-ups start?

[Duck999]

YAAAAAAY! I'd love that, and a few players seem to be coming back, so that means a slightly larger player base.

Also, who was it that came up with the idea of a game with more wolves than villagers, but the villagers were triple voters with two lives or something? Where'd that go?

[Lex-Kat]

CoA is a relatively simple game to narrate. I can do it, if no one else wants to. Though, I would love more participation that the last one, if you please.

[Cuthalion]

I've gotten to the point where without really trying very hard I tend to get lynched within the first few days if I'm not NKed.

Lex, I didn't join the last CoA because I did not know the setting.

[Tris]

It was expanded to a more general theme.

[Cyber Punk]

Sorry for the RAF delay, guys, my laptop refused to boot for half a day. Went off on me, too; had to retype the whole thing.

[Lex-Kat]

Okay, so does anyone have any ideas for a theme for the next CoA? Preferably one I know, or can work with.

Oh! How about a My Little Pony CoA. Or He-Man/She-Ra. Transformers?

[Duck999]

Oh! How about a My Little Pony CoA.

Only if I can get my revenge from My Little Townie.
We could do something like Greek Myths. Myths in general. Harry Potter. The possibilities are infinite.

[Penguinator]

Oh! How about a My Little Pony CoA.

No.

Can I get a replacement for Mutineer's Werewolf?

[Lex-Kat]

No.

Oookay. That one's shot down.

[ThePhantom]

Do He-man please. I've been wanting a bit of that lately. Hmm, maybe work out a he-man werewolf. Yes, that could work.

[Legato Endless]

Hmm, maybe work out a he-man werewolf.

Because He-man wasn't over powered enough already.

[Lex-Kat]

Well, for He-Man WW....

Man-At-Arms would be the Baner.

The Sorceress would be the Seer.

Orko would be the Fool.

Teela, Stratos, & Mek-a-Nek would be Masons.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Skeletor would be the Alpha for the villains.

Evil-Lin is the Devil, of course.

Beast-Man, Trap-Jaw, Mer-Man, & Tri-Kops would be the other villains.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not sure how to incorporate He-Man/Prince Adam. Ideas?

[ThePhantom]

The lynch itself? The power He-Man has is to be as strong as he needs to be.

[Lex-Kat]

Sounds good, but he also needs to be weak at times, due to the Prince Adam personality. Or, I would think.

[ThePhantom]

Would that be the night phase? Day its He-Man, to deal with the villains. Night its Adam that can't do quite so well.
