Do It Yourself WW

Narrator: Ramsus
Co-narrator: You!

This is what happens when you get a werewolf game from IKEA.

Spoiler: Game Information

Show

This is a blind wolf, no-PM game. Everyone will have a private Quicktopic. Do not share this with others. Don't otherwise communicate with others about the game outside of the thread. Do not collect $200.

This is a small game and there is to be no more than 20 players accepted. I'd prefer if there were no less than that too. There will be an autoreplacement list and people after the first 20 will be put on it unless they ask not to.

After I give the results for each phase I will ask (or rather I'm asking now) for someone to make up a narration that fits the results. The narration does not have to be consistent with previous narrations. Preferably I would like to avoid any one person doing a narration more than once unless everyone has already done so.

Upon signing up, each player should PM me two powers and then I will reply with a link to a private QT for them. These could be your standard bane, scry, fool scry, etc. or more out there things found in some of the sillier ideas. From these I will compose a list of 20 powers. I will aim for putting a power from each player on the list, but it's possible that might not happen if people suggest a lot of duplicates. Oh and please don't discuss what powers you suggested with other players, that would ruin the mystery of the whole thing. If there are too many duplicate powers to form a list of 20 powers, I'll ask for another power suggestion from everyone.

At the start of each night I will roll a d20 (a real one) to determine which power that person receives for that night/the following day phase.

Day phases will be about 48 hours long, Night phases will be about 24 hours in length.

Lynches are determined by simple majority (excluding votes for No Lynch or other such fictional persons or the Narrator). If there is a tie between two or more players for the lynch I will roll a d4. The results are as follows:
1) One (1) of the tied players is randomly chosen to be lynched.
2) Nobody is lynched.
3) A completely random living player is lynched.
4) All tied players are lynched.

There will be more than 1 team. Members of each team will be told their team goal and any other information relating to their team. There may or may not be neutrals.

There will be some power roles, but they may or may not be all of/any of the traditional ones, so keep that in mind while suggesting powers. And yes, the power roles will have their role powers in addition to their nightly powers.

All players who do not have a power role will have the role of Villager regardless of team.

Team & Role will be revealed upon death. Being killed has a 50% chance of voiding your actions in that phase. Do not continue to contribute to game related discussions after death (unless I tell you otherwise), but please stick around as people may suggest powers that effect the dead. And even if they don't, you can still do narrations.

Spoiler: Scrying

Show

Ramsus' Scry Interference rules will be in effect.
For those of you who have not heard of this before/can't remember what that is:

If you scry a target who is being scried by at least one other player, you will received a scrambled result of information of the target and the other players who scried that target.

Fool scries are 50% accurate. An inaccurate scry may produce results of information that does not actually exist in the game. Fool scries count for purposes of causing interference, but receive 100% accurate results in cases of interference or other effect that would effect the scry, aside from the fool scrier being voided.

[BasketOfPuppies]

I'm in, and will PM powers soon.

- - - Updated - - -

Can a wolf be NK'ed? If not, what happens if they get the majority of votes to be NK'ed?

[Ramsus]

If there are wolves and wolves vote for a night kill, then wolves will be killed by night kills. Unless they aren't for some other reason of course, assuming that theoretical mechanic is in play.

[Sabeki]

I think I'll try it, if you're willing to set up the QT. Will PM powers. I'm assuming powers are randomly assigned, and not the ones you make?

[Ramsus]

In fact, I would prefer if people let me make the QTs, that way I can have them all match name-wise and it's easier for me to tell this game's QTs apart from others.

Each night you're assigned a random power from the list. So yes, randomly assigned, not just always having the ones you suggest.

[Saposhiente]

Haven't decided if I want to join yet (making narrations is hard) but if you want a table, just click the ^A/A button in the top left to switch to WYSIWYG mode, then just use the table buttons in the third row and it'll do all the code for you.

[Ramsus]

Thanks, that was quite helpful. Doesn't look the same as the old one we used to have (and I swear someone is using something that looks just like it elsewhere), but it'll do well enough.

[Count Dingdong]

Yes, the WYSIWYG table isn't quite the same as the old one. It's only one color, and it's not sortable by columns. If you would like to make something closer to the old style (say, what I'm using for Careless), you'll have to use code, like follows:

to make a player table like the one you have above, but with alternating colors (which I just realized I'm not using for Careless), headers, and column-sorting:

Oh, and in. I'll think up some role ideas shortly. I've definitely used a lot to choose from.

[Ramsus]

Oooh, shiny. Thanks. I'll add you to the list once you send me that PM. (This way I can ensure nobody gets lazy and leaves things up to other people.)

[Saposhiente]

What rules are there on powers you can suggest? For example, I would be motivated to make the power "Once per night, you may bane Saposhiente"

[Ramsus]

lol, yeah obviously nothing player or gender specific or anything else that would prevent it working on any player in the game based on who they are. Let's also avoid things that target specific roles and other silly obvious "don't do that" things.

I don't want to tip my hand too much so, mostly I will tell people if something they suggest cannot be in any way altered to work. Otherwise I will just alter the idea to work as close as to how it was suggested within the mechanics of the game. Assuming I even choose that power to be added to the list. (That's part of the reason I asked for two from everyone.)

[Saposhiente]

I know, I'll make a power so complicated that nobody else can use it properly.

[Internet Flea]

"Your vote power is increased by the value of the tens digit of the current day."

I guess I'll join, if only to use my Nethack narration idea without having to actually run a Nethack game.

[Duck999]

I'll be in. I need to improve my narration skills.

[Zweisteine]

I think I'll join, though I might not be super-invested in the game.

I will, however, suggest wild power ideas.

Nope.

[Luizeu]

Loved the idea. Im in. Can I pm the powers?

[Ramsus]

That is indeed what you should do.

[Castaras]

This sounds horrifically chaotic, so I am totally up for it.

[bladescape]

I'm in for the kitties.

[TBFProgrammer]

In, I have a power idea I just want to see someone try to use effectively. Now to come up with another...

[Zar Peter]

This sounds horrifically chaotic, so I am totally up for it.

After finally reading the rules I concur with the above statement. Now I have to think of two powers.

[Internet Flea]

After finally reading the rules I concur with the above statement. Now I have to think of two powers.

One of them should be a recruitment role.

Nothing says 'fun' like a recruitment power that changes hands every night.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Is town/wolf kept throughout or does it switch along with roles?

[Ramsus]

Is town/wolf kept throughout or does it switch along with roles?

I don't really understand the question the way you phrased it.

[BasketOfPuppies]

My bad, I was in a rush.

When we change roles, will we keep our town/wolf alignment?

[Ramsus]

You don't change roles, you just gain/lose a power each night phase.

[BasketOfPuppies]

You don't change roles, you just gain/lose a power each night phase.

Well, erm, RUN AWAY!

*flees*
I am still in the game, don't take this as me leaving.

[reaverb]

I'll play in this.

[Fortuna]

Sure, I'm in. Composing power suggestions now, although I'm disappointed that we're only allowed two.

[Ramsus]

I believe there are still a few of you who have signed up but haven't sent me a PM with powers yet. Remember: There's nothing wrong with the more traditional ones if you can't think up anything new you want in the game.

Also, everyone please be aware that I won't run the game unless we actually get 20 players, so some of you may want to poke someone to see if they'll play. *shrug*
