Werewolf Central

[Blood]

In other words... If you have 2 wolves, 7 villagers and 1 seer left, in addition to the fool, you would generate a number between 1 and 10. If it was 1 or 2, they would see a wolf, if it was 3-9, they would see a villager, and if it was 10, they would see a Seer.

Got it. Except I thought there was one exception - if the Fool scries the Seer, they always see the Fool? (And if the Seer scries the Fool, they see the Fool.)

Pretty sure it's the other way around... But it doesn't really matter either way, it has the same effect.

You're right, either way it doesn't matter for the effects of the game. For fluff, however, it makes sense; the Seer is correct in scrying the Fool as the Fool, and the Fool is incorrect in scrying the Seer as the Fool. The other way around, it just makes the Seer incorrect and the Fool correct.

I'll volunteer to be a co-narrator if someone needs one.

If they keep multiplying like this these games will end up with their own sub-forum.

Hmmm... Now there's an idea...

@v Really!? SWEET!

[Alarra]

Actually...SMBG probably will be split into another sub-forum, at least its been discussed.

The link to Werewolf VI needs updating.

^ Really? Sounds good.

Wow, my psychic powers are manifesting again.

Lets see what other predictions I can make...

I predict the rise of a werewolf specialist avatarist.

((hmmmm, need to update my avatar someday soon anyway))

Wow, just for Werewolf games, or something else? Or are the mods supposed to keep the details secret?

I like this guy, he's all like "I like helping" and... stuff.

Thanks!

((If you want to be even more helpful, could you put the links in {noparse}{/noparse} please? I have real trouble with the code when I copy+paste and it's already coded.

For more than just werewolf, but we'll see what happens.

If you're really a coding failure (which I doubt) you could always just "quote" the post in question and get the full code to copy and paste that way.

And sign me up for the auto lists for Mafia and WWC, please.

You're a genius.

[Eldritch Knight]

Auto Sign me for Both WW, and Mafia, and I'm interested on being put on the co-narrator list.

[Captain van der Decken]

Auto sign me for everything but classic, please.

A subforum for organised games?

[Jontom Xire]

You missed out Paranoia (which is just waiting to be restarted - the rules still need a little work) and "Ultimate Cloak and Dagger". Both of these are spin-offs from werewolf with a lot of common principles.

[DarkLightDragon]

Can I be put in the auto sign-up for Werewolf and Pirates?

[Helgraf]

I'd like to auto-sign for Werewolf and Werewolf Classic - and Pirates, though I missed the first one.

Also Mafia!

Want to see how I do in d Alien before giving the auto-greenlight.

[Madmal]

i'll be suscribing into WW standard, Pirates and Mafia...thank you very much

i'm also gonna consider WW classic and to co-narrate, but that'd have to wait until i'm back to my house.

[The Valiant Turtle]

I don't know that I would ever want to run a game (although I'm willing to co-narate). But I've been thinking about various possibilities for variants and thought I'd just throw things out there for comment or for use by someone else in a game.

I want to as much as possible to give everyone some kind of role to play. I think people tend to get much less interested towards the middle and ends of a game when they are just a villager or whatever the villager-equivalent may be.

I think the 2-wolfpack variant was one of the best so far, but that's just personal opinion. I do like the idea of 2 separate groups of bad guys. I think it would be best if they have different and possibly slightly conflicting goals. Lets try an example.

Werewolves + Cabal. The Cabal is a secret society trying to summon up their Demon God (or Old One...) to destroy the world. They are prevented from doing this by the existence of x people who are pure of heart (or some such nonsense). We'll call those people the Innocents. If the Cabal kills them all, they win. If the wolves eat an Innocent, they are unable to kill the next night. However, the innocents do not count for the villager total that the wolves need to surpass in order to win. Being mere humans, it will be easier to protect someone from the Cabal than it is the wolves. The Cabal Seer would only be told if someone is an innocent or not, since that is all they care about. I'd like to have some interesting possibilities for the Cabal attacking wolves and vice-versa.

I was also thinking of having some special role that rotated among the plain villagers, but I haven't figured out what it would do.

I'd also like one role (priest perhaps) which can once per game (or possibly more often) cause a safety lynch, basically a light shines down from heaven (or the mothership) and reveals the condemned's role by either burning them to death (if they are a baddie) or leaving them alone (possibly granting one-night protection).

Thoughts?

[Tormsskull]

You missed out Paranoia (which is just waiting to be restarted - the rules still need a little work) and "Ultimate Cloak and Dagger". Both of these are spin-offs from werewolf with a lot of common principles.

I think I'd prefer to keep Ultimate Cloak & Dagger separate from WW central. It is essentially a WW spinoff, but it won't follow a lot of the WW rules. As such, I wouldn't want potential players to be confused by lumping it into WW central.

Anyhow, I think WW central is going to be really good for organizing the WW games. Can we expect advertisements for the different installments of the games to appear in this thread? I think that would be great to help grab new players.



Raldor: The idea about every player having some kind of role isn't a bad one, but it can get rather clunky. I was so confused in WWV when it first started simply do to the number of roles. Your proposed roles don't seem to confusing, but I would advise you not to add in a lot.

[Supagoof]

Perhaps, until the WW gets a sub-forum, we could sticky this thread?

Edit: WOW! That was quick. MODs ROCK!

And Raldor, I responded to you in pirates about another WW spin-off that may be unique and also a way to incorporate your ideas. PM me about it.

Also, please let Lucky know if you find that you should be removed from the lists.....just so he doesn't have to search every thread on every forum to read your mind that you won't be around.

[Exachix]

I will happily Co-narrate any Werewolf, WWvariant, etc game =). Just so you know.

That'd work great, actually. The priest could protect one person during the day just as the baner does at night. That person cannot be lynched. Each night the priest tells the narrarators who they'll protect the following day. If that person is attacked by the wolves that night, the priest protects no one the next day. Once per game, by PM'ing the narrarators, the priest can change who he's protecting mid-day.

[Rumda]

yes i can see the priest possibly protecting the banner during to day as he protects the seer at night....

[Shadow]

But only if the Baner then openly admits to being the Baner, in which case the wolves can attack him. It's a double edged sword.
Multiple people can choose to saythat they're the Baner to gain this protection. The priest can simply choose to protect someone else.
Lots of variables.

[Rumda]

but to be honest the banner only needs to reveal him self to the priest,

[Shadow]

But if you're the Priest keeping your identity a secret becomes just as important as the Baner's secrecy, so how's he going to find out who you are?

[Tormsskull]

He tells one of the "a priest and a rabbai are in a bar" jokes and watches the reactions?
