[Alarra]

I have a question: With regards to roles of Narrator and co-Narrator, what, if any, are the job descriptions of each? I don't remember using a co-Narrator when I narrated, so what job(s) are usually left for each position?

It usually depends on the particular pair actually. Some people split up night/day duties. Some do other arrangements. Sometimes it depends on what time people are able to be online, etc. Sometimes it depends on what each person is good at. For example, when I narrate, or co-narrate...I generally like to keep track of vote tallies, inactivity lynchings and send out pms, because that's what I'm good at, and whoever I'm narrating with would be in charge of actually writing lynchings and kills, cause I'm not all that creative. =)

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

Yeah....I like writing Death Scenes and lynchings and things. Its fun in Pirates, especially with so much mythology to draw from.

[Joosbawx]

I'm a Type A personality, so I prefer to do it all, but have a co-narrator to blame things on.

[Gnome Barbarian]

I picked alarra as a co narrater because she is good at keep tallys and what not which fits with me wanting to worry more about the creativity part of the lynchings and killing of the villagers.

[DarkLightDragon]

Hm... knowing the way my roles seem to turn out, I should be getting an awesome one or two when the next editions of each game come round.

[Joosbawx]

No worries, GB. That leaves me free to play. =)

Hey all!

I started my 3.5 D&D Werewolf: The Adventure! pbp game. Check it out here if you want to read along, or if you want to post on our OOC thread, check it out here. If you notice the town, and the characters in it, I did borrow some of your names to be characters in it. I have our favorite llama, lucky, death (the cemetary is named after him), Alarra, and Joosbawx to name a few. I only borrowed names, not personalities, or anything else. Once I am done running the adventure, I would be more than happy to email a copy of it for anybody wanting to run it in their RL game. Feel free to post comments on our OoC board!

[Supagoof]

Nice story so far DM77. I'll be certain to watch, though RL prevents me from joining. Though I won't mind if you take any of my char names in there, Graklok, Beymar, Emiralk or Supagoof.

So, any more word on whether we are going to start the 1-ww-game-a-week-start-date idea? I haven't heard any in disagreement of it, and think it would be a useful tool.

Lucky, if you would be so kind as to place me on the co-narrate list, I would appreciate it. My strengths to bring to a co-narrator position is both in tracking/tallying of votes/roles/lynches and kills, and in also coming up with a fanciful storyline to go along with any game and turning of events in said game. Draw backs would be availability in the hours of 5pm-9am EST(board time).

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

I would like to claim the week of April 1st for the start of Pirates II. This will give Indy, Alarra, and I a chance to finalize our plans. I would like to start on Monday the 2nd because we seem to have a lull in the games over the weekend. Although, ultimately, its up to Alarra.

I guess this week and next week belong to Blood.

[Alarra]

Why's it up to me? And didn't I already say that beginning of April would be fine?

[Captain van der Decken]

Rebellion has started, by the way.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

Its up to you becuase you're the most organized of us and because you're the one who handles most of the hard stuff. We're just your death's muse. Llama "let them eat pudding" and Indurain "Twisted like Taffy"

[Korith]

Mmmm...yummy villagers in WWCII

I look forward to the carnage that DM77 will be narrating in the future. Until then, I sense that Shadow will present an..interesting game.

[Supagoof]

So we have Rebellion and WWC starting this week.

Pirates starting week of April 1st. (April 2nd)

I'll start Bandits the week of April 15th.

Just to clarify, starting week is when open recruitment begins.

[Shadow]

Until then, I sense that Shadow will present an..interesting game.

Ummm...
What's that mean?

I'll take the time to say that I'm both offended and grateful. At this point I'm not sure which.

[heretic]

Any possibility of updating the first post to show a sort of scoreboard on how each finished game turned out?

[Lord Magtok]

I was debating in my mind whether or not to post this, thinking that nobody would be interested, it'd emit an aura of exclusive-ness, and it'd make me look conceited and stuff. However, I have an annoying habit of not listening to myself.

Here is how I see AMEN vs. EVIL, in werewolf form.

Spoiler

Show

Rex= Devil (Due to his divination magic.)
Magtok= Alpha (Due to being the only other highly ranked person in AMEN. Not because I'm conceited.)
AMEN= Rest of wolves

Shadow= Seer (Since he's leader of the Stalkers of EVIL, he spys on people and sees their alignment or something along those lines)
Stalkers= Masons
Meynolds= Baner
A drunk paladin= Fool

And the villagers are EVIL's numerous paladins.

Any suggestions?

[Raistlin1040]

I see Raistlin as the Devil. If anything, Rex would be the fool. Only evil.

[Rex Idiotarum]

I agree with Magtok's Original suggestion, Make Raistlin the fool.


I am the official Diviner for AMEN, as well as it's leader ((although not High enforcing in that I let my second in command head all the Day-To-day matters))

[Raistlin1040]

Not a paladin. Not old enough to drink. Plus you are insane. Insanes can't be devils. Silly Rex.

[Rex Idiotarum]

No, in his Private Message to me.

What if there was an AMEN vs. EVIL werewolf game?

Rex= Devil (Due to your divination magic.)
Magtok= Alpha (Due to being the only other highly ranked person in AMEN.)
AMEN= Rest of wolves

Shadow= Seer (Since he's leader of the stalkers, he spys on people and sees their alignment or something
Stalkers= Masons
Meynolds= Baner
Raistlin= Fool

And again, this is professing equivalents, not assignments. As a Diviner for amen, I tell what to do, and who to kill. That would make me like the "Seer" for AMEN, but being evil, I'd have to be the "Devil"

the rest is explained here.

[Raistlin1040]

Alright. Except I'm not really in AMEN or EVIL. I'm like a neutral Seer.

[Rex Idiotarum]

That's where you become the Fool, in a way. I think the job would be different, but you can choose to detect someone during the night, and then whisper the Identity of someone to anyone else ((Using it as blackmail, or otherwise)). Your Job is to survive to the End, using as many twists as possible. ((Although if you hit the wrong person, you may end up dead yourself)).

[Raistlin1040]

So would my detecting be acuarate ((As a seer)) or random ((As a fool))?

[Rex Idiotarum]

Unreliable, 50-90% Correct... I think.

[Korith]

Ummm...
What's that mean?

I'll take the time to say that I'm both offended and grateful. At this point I'm not sure which.

It means that, as a player, our thinking seems to be similar.

As a Narrator, it means I have high expectations of you. You know precisely how much to say without actually saying anything at all (which, by the way, kept you off my "top 10 threat" list last game. Don't expect to stay off that list very often in the future!).

[Eldritch Knight]

I agree, bro. Shadow's quickly becoming one of the 'dangerous' players, which means he'll be targeted much more often, now that he's shown himself to be competant with the strategies of the game.

[Korith]

I agree, bro. Shadow's quickly becoming one of the 'dangerous' players, which means he'll be targeted much more often, now that he's shown himself to be competant with the strategies of the game.

And that's why I took up the reigns in narrating WWII (the original) - I knew I hit a lot of threat lists by the time that game was over. Narration is a safe position, and allows people to grow paranoid about people other than the narrator, while having the best seat in the house to see their playstyle.

[Shadow]

Eh, I got lucky.
I mean, I got Lucky (in Mafia).
It's all random who gets which roles, so I'm not sure that it matters as much as all that, but thanks.

[The Valiant Turtle]

As an observer of mafia (man I wish I would have joined that) I just want to say that Joosbawx deserves some kind of award for the plot he's been writing. We've seen some great writing in all the WW games, but he's taken it to the next level with that one.

Raldor tips his hat to Joosbawx.
