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

[SparklngCyanide]

Hi, came here to support a friend. Cuth would be a great nomination from what I've seen.

[Xihirli]

Xihirli for president!

That's funny.
No, that's fine. Maybe if they ever have a gag tournament.

[Lex-Kat]

As much as I would love to represent the Playground, I am afraid I would still end up being a poor choice due to my activity level. I vote for Murska and Cuthalion.

[Logic]

I would like to request the 1-14 October slot for Baldur's Gate Werewolf.

[Thingyman]

Thank you, Cuth, for posting the invitation :)

I'll be following along. Lemme know if you have any questions regarding this season.

What do people think of a standard WW game (Vanillagers vs Vanilla Wolves) where everybody starts the game being informed of three people's roles...but one of the roles they've been told is a lie. Essentially one big game of Two Truths One Lie. Thoughts? Would it work better in a game with more power roles?

It sounds interesting, but it might need a lot of people to avoid overlap. If there's too much overlap between what information people get, then they can just compile one big list. Or at least make sure that whenever someone finds out person A's role, its the same as anyone else who was told person A's role. I also think it would work best with standard roles.

Edit: it may not work.
Day 1 will be compiling all the information everyone got and checking a wolf, and if it was true, a wolf is dead, if they killed a townie, they now know two confirmed roles. You could forbid players from sharing their information. Wolves also might need extra PRs since only village will benefit from the two truths and a lie info at the beginning.

Looks like everyone's pretty much with fine with either Murska or Cuthalion representing us this year.
Do we want to put this to a proper vote?

[Generic-Guy]

It may happens that i open recruitment of Scum of London at the 17th instead of the 16th, because i am off until the late 16th.

I can flip a coin if y'all want :P

Heads Murska, Tails Cuth, if it lands on it's side we send Xihirli?

@Cuthalion
@Murska

I've flipped a coin via randomizer.org

The first one who sees this post should say either 1 or 2. That'll decide who is main rep and who is backup.

[flat_footed]

Good luck to both!

Murska, you're the rep. And Cuth, you're the backup.

GLGL! :D

(I can't post links or even images, sigh)

[Cuthalion]

Excellent. Good work, Thingy.

[Murska]

All right. I'll do my best to represent us. Thank you for the trust that you no doubt have learned never to give me.

Apparently I need to write a bio again. Feel free to contribute. :)

"...more frequently baned and attacked on night 1 than any other Playgrounder..." based on statistics that I made up in my head.

EDIT: This sounded way funnier at 3:45 AM.

Update on The Mafia Championship

Exciting news: We are expanding to 150 participating communities, which is more than last season. In fact, we may even go for 165 communities depending on how some invitations go.

On that note, if you know of a community that might be interested in participating and isn't on the list in the linked post, let me know and I'll be happy to give them an invitation: <snipped>

Since none of the representatives chosen at this point have indicated that they can only play if their game starts April 24, I have made the decision that the qualifying phase won't begin until May 1st in order to allow me more time to get everything properly organized and to get all representatives properly prepared. This will have no impact on the overall schedule for this season; the qualifying phase will still be wrapped up by early July, after which we dive into the wildcard games followed by the finale game.

As for how to spectate your representative, I'll get back to you with more info on that, but cliffs: Your community may of course create your own private spectator chat (that your rep can't access), but the general spectator chat (where all communities gather and chat together) will be on Discord this year. If you want an invite to the server already now, just write me.

[Duneyrr]

Hey guys! I'm back from unexpected hiatus. I apologize to those who were running games I was in. I should be back with no interruptions for the foreseeable future. woah, the word foreseeable looks really weird to me.

[Thingyman]

UPDATE ON MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP

Originally, the plan was for this season to feature 135 communities. We will now have 165 participating communities, which means that this season alone we will have more different communities represented than all other seasons combined. Approximately 60 communities are participating for the very first time. Of the returning communities, about a dozen of them are resending a previous representative, while the rest are all sending fresh faces.

As a result of how big this season has gotten, we'll have more games to look forward to than ever before. We will have 11 qualifying games, 2 wildcard games and 1 finale game = 14 games in total.

All kinds of communities are partipating. Besides the sites dedicated specifically to mafia, we have forums dedicated to popular entertainment, sports, poker, board games, online games, video games, role playing, LEGO, personality type testing, stick figure animations, science, atheism, music, mathematics, comics, students, etc. Some of these communities started playing mafia more than a decade ago; Others just started this year.

Despite this being a forum event, we will also have communities that play the game via various chat clients (Discord, Telegram, IRC, custom, etc.) and via webcam (with games often streamed on Twitch.tv). And not least, there are communities centered around mafia game variants that you can buy on Steam (Town of Salem and Throne of Lies).

This season will also have the biggest international scope yet. For the very first time we will have representatives from Romania, Hungary, Chile, Portugal, Ukraine and Czechia as well as our first person representing a Japanese community. We even have our first Native American.

In addition to this, we of course welcome back countries such as USA, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Italy, Indonesia, South Africa and Ireland, meaning that we'll have more than 20 different countries represented in total.

_________________________

Next update: I am hoping very much I will have all the info I need from all of the representatives by Wednesday at the latest next week. Assuming I do, I will schedule all the qualifying games on this day and get back to you with your representative's start date.

Lex, Thematthew and I would like to sign up for running "The First Wolf" starting recruiting around next March 18th.

[Lex-Kat]

Next March 18th!!? Fine. Done.

This is fine, btw. Have you PMd Chambers?

Generic-Guy seems to have hit an unfortunate batch of the IRL responsibilities: no one has seen him in a bit.

[Ramsus]

I guess this means Worm WW should start recruiting a bit early? Given the amount of time I think we should just use the extra time as a buffer between the recruiting time of Worm and Hogwarts rather than try and shuffle things on the schedule sort of awkwardly.

I've got the startings of a first post going, and can be able to post it either tonight or tomorrow if nobody minds us taking the slot.

[Lex-Kat]

Go right ahead.

[Logic]

I would like to request the 1-14 October slot for Baldur's Gate Werewolf.

Lex, any chance I can get this slot, 1-14 October, instead for Hillbilly Mafia/Werewolf? My Baldur's Gate scenario needs more polish, but my Hillbilly* one will be much more traditional.

*This one will be based on Logic's hometown, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, where the roles will be based on real people, despite the stereotypes of people they represent.

[Ramsus]

Hillbilly Mafia sounds better. Though I guess it depends on what you want to do with the narrations.

Just to make sure people know, Worm WW is now open for business and accepting players.
