Werewolf Central III - All potential wolves please read

[Dallas-Dakota]

You're planning a LotR WW? Dang. *tosses first real WW game idea in trash*. Almost had the ring mechanics all worked out, too.

Yeah, for some time now, even though most stuff got turned, since we turned it to just Fellowship first. And then we´l probably do two sequels, and maybe the hobbit.
And maybe some stuff more that I´m to think in how to fit it in...

Maybe end the third before the scouring of the shire and make that a seperate ww or something....

[Emperor Demonking]

You're taking the hobbit as well!!!

What are your ring mechanics? Want to help co-narrate?

Since Dallas-Dakota and I will both be extremely busy, but still want to do this, we may limit to 30 players.

Starting for me next week.
So I´l be able to spend some good time on it(among other things I need to do) on the roles and such.

Interested in being a co-narrator?

[Reinholdt]

Hmm. I don't know if I'll be any good at narrating, but I'll do it if it'll help you guys out and allow more people to play. I'll PM you what my mechanics were probably going to be and you can use or not use whatever you wish. It's all in my head right now though, so I have to type it out.

[Cristo Meyers]

Wow, time slots seem to be goin' fast nowadays.

I'll be starting Fears 2 in the Nov. 24-28th timeslot.

Hey! Ravnica was my idea, so would you actually put me on the list as, you know, one of the people running the game?

[Dallas-Dakota]

I agree, too many werewolf games right now.

That would be because it was the summer hols. To much time to plan/narrate/play stuff.

*pokes Shadow for an answer*
What would the first date available be for me, Andre and Reinholdt to start recruiting for LotR Part 1?(The Fellowship of the Ring)

[Cristo Meyers]

First slot open on the Schedule on the first page is Dec 1-5th since I claimed Nov 24-28th.

this is getting silly.

[Cristo Meyers]

I just noticed: Fears isn't in the game archive.

This makes me sad

[Shadowcaller]

Well tleast it looks like there are more games then Kyou without and end.
*cough*Werewolf X*cough*.

Just a friendly reminder.

[Shadow]

So.

Rockstar III.
*snip*
Also, sorry, being sort of an ass here, but I need an early start date. I can't wait until December, as that's Christmas, and then until like next May, I'll be out of town randomly, so I was hoping I could start recruiting soon, and then maybe get an Early-Mid September start date? I know they're all taken, but I'm hoping someone will trade with me or something.

Everyone else is waiting patiently. I'll leave it to them as a whole to decide.
So, peeps? Whatcha think?

Thanks! But, Ask Shadow - he's MY right hand man, I'm not his left hand. And I've met Goof, is he even right handed?

Yeah... in your dreams pal!

Wow, time slots seem to be goin' fast nowadays.

I'll be starting Fears 2 in the Nov. 24-28th timeslot.

Yes they do! It makes my life Oh-So-Pleasant....
And, done.

*looks over coming game list*
*pokes shadow*
Hey! Ravnica was my idea, so would you actually put me on the list as, you know, one of the people running the game?

Hey, it's not my fault you didn't schedule it.... Done.

*Pokes Shadow repeatedly*

Quit poking me.

Oh.... thanks.

Yup. Agreed.

I just noticed: Fears isn't in the game archive.

This makes me sad

I'll get on it shortly. I update the Archives as a group, but only once in a while. It appears that I missed it sometime ago, during the last archiving. I'll search and edit in a bit.
Anyone else see any that I've missed?

Well tleast it looks like there are more games then Kyou without and end.
*cough*Werewolf X*cough*.

Just a friendly reminder.

As has been previously atated on many occasions, we're waiting for DLD on something.
We do realize that it's become a bit of a long wait. We apologize if it ends up being anti-climactic.

Aaaaaaaaand that should be all I need to respond to right now.
*goes back to relaxing and having some much needed free time*

[Reinholdt]

*anti-pokes Shadow* (negates next Shadow poke).

[Haruki-kun]

*pokes Reiholdt*

[evnafets]

Werewolf X: Dragons and Dragonslayers has finished with a win for the villager side, and a draw between Dragons/Dragon Slayers.

Apologies to everyone for leaving you all hanging over the past few days.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Finally...

[Cristo Meyers]

Oops, should've mentioned that CurlyKitGirl will be co-narrating Fears 2 with me.

That's the second time I've forgotten to mention the co-narrator...does that mean I'm egotistical?

[Uncle Festy]

Oops, should've mentioned that CurlyKitGirl will be co-narrating Fears 2 with me.

Well, if you're egotistical, what's Alarra? She scheduled Ravnica without mentioning the main narrator!

[Emperor Demonking]

Is anyone having a name change?

[Dallas-Dakota]

I would like to schedule for LotR Part I to begin recruiting at the earliest date(which is currently begin december I think) unless both Andre and/Reinholdt have major objections to that. (three months, plenty of time to do everything

[Emperor Demonking]

I'd like to schedule twist for December the eighth

The Day Candyland Broke.

It was a nice, peaceful day in Candyland; Alarra and Zeb were tanning in the sugar-coated beach; Griever and Atreyu were busy racing to the gumdrop mountains; and all was well.

No one notices the ominous, black clouds on the horizon, or the evil that followed underneath it...

Rules:

Spoiler

Show

Welcome to the Game: The Day Candyland Broke, it is a WW-based game fought between The Good Gamers and The Game Breakers.

A few notes on the rules of this game:

Helgraf's Scry Interference WILL be in effect, so scry carefully!

In the event of a tie on lynching, whoever arrived at the tie first will be lynched.

The Game Breakers start off knowing each other.

Victory Conditions:

The Good Gamers win by defeating all The Game Breakers.

The Game Breakers win by attaining a majority in the game. The game is the considered "broken".

Any Neutral Roles will only win if they fulfill their personal win requirement.

Roles:

The Good Gamers:

All The Good Guys want to do is have some fun while playing a simple game, unfortunately, in order to accomplish this, they will have to kick out any who would put that goal in danger.

Spoiler

Show

Alarra – One of the Lovers, they start off knowing each other and when they vote together their vote counts as three instead of two.

Atreyu, the Masked LLama – Believes strongly that the entire purpose of WW games is for fun and therefore attempts to keep active players alive so they can have more fun. Once every night, Atreyu can protect one active player from death. To be considered active, that player must not be up for autolynch.

Banjo – A master of WW games involving percentage chance lynches, he can therefore exploit the loopholes within the game to give the lynchee a chance (not large) of surviving the lynch. Cannot use on himself and, because the percentage is small, can use his ability on the day of the lynch.

Catseye2121 - Who is this person? No one quite knows, although Catseye2121 seems to think they know, well, about everything apparently! Catseye2121 will enter the game under the impression that they are Murska, unfortunately, they lack his green glowiness, and will therefore usually get incorrect scry results.

Cristo Meyers – The debacler! This master roleplayer has found that, unfortunately, his roleplaying touch has been found to be rather poisonous to his partners. Because of this, he has trained long and hard to learn the arts of the bard. Using his newfound skills, he can sing incessantly near someone of his choosing, causing so much confusion that the person will be unable to perform any actions that night or the following day other than pointing.

Detrevnisisiht – The bane of all people who like to spell out names… seriously, just, wow… anyway, because of his invertedness, his point does, in fact, decrease the total votes of who he points at by 1.

Emperor Demonking – One of the most likely people to die before the first night, Emperor Demonking has learned well the lesson of when to bandwagon and when to not. If he is on a successful bandwagon twice in a row, he is auto-lynched. However, if he leads a successful bandwagon, he gets a bonus scry.

Helgraf – The mastermind behind the rule Helgraf’s Scry Interference (Modest, isn’t he?), Helgraf can use his crazy mind powers to create a scry shield for someone (Basically re-done Fool’s role, without the scry part).

Indy – This nude player is truly a sight to behold (the ladies tell me his charisma is off the charts, if that means anything). Because of his absence of shame and abundance of confidence, he can successfully protect himself from being lynched or night-killed once.

Mordokai – A paladin of great virtue, no doubt, but not perfect. Many of his so-called “friends” have attempted to make him fall, and he has rebuffed their attempts as well as he can. However, he is on the tipping edge, if he is on a bandwagon that kills an innocent three times, he falls, and turns evil. However, if he joins a wolf-killing bandwagon three times, he gets a once-only night bane, usable at his discretion.

Murska – A lidless green eye, wreathed in fla- wait, green? How in the world does that work? Well, anyway, apparently Sauron has gone green to save the environment and is working with the good guys. Once every night he can scry someone’s role.

PhantomFox – Mason, starts off knowing radikalskippy and Ranna; these best friends are so close, they are right next to each other in the alphabet!

radikalskippy – Mason, starts off knowing PhantomFox and Ranna; these best friends are so close, they are right next to each other in the alphabet!

Ranna - Mason, starts off knowing PhantomFox and radikalskippy; these best friends are so close, they are right next to each other in the alphabet!

Shadowcaller – Once every four days (starting on the second), Shadowcaller can effectively increase the time in the day by 24 hours by delaying the narration with his still-haven’t-finished-the-Kyou-finale ways.

Uncle Festy - Uncle Festy is a huge procrastinator. He never does anything today that he could feasibly do the next day, and this carries over to his WW games. Whenever Uncle Festy makes a point, it actually counts for the following day phase.

xNadia - A rival to Eldritch Knight in stealth, but she is devoted to the light side of Candyland, steering clear of the dark chocolate side of the force. For every day xNadia goes without being pointed at for lynch, she can remove 1 point at her for lynch. Maximum point value of 5.

Zeb the Troll – The other lover. Although separated by the entire alphabet, they hold true, knowing each other at the start and when voting together, they get 3 instead of 2.

The Game Breakers:

They live to break the games worked so hard on by the narrators and have come now, the most holy of sites in the gaming world, Candyland, to ruin everyone's fun for their own amusement.

Spoiler

Show

Andre - Shadow’s left hand man. Andre, or “The Enforcer”, enforces… stuff, yeah, with a gun, or something sharp. Anyway, every two nights he can clean up the crime scene and hold off the investigators until the next night, effectively revealing the true identities of the victims a day late.

Dr. Bath – An extremely impressive and famous avatarist turned infamous. How the good doctor cracked, we do not know, however we found images in his photobucket account, and they were quite gruesome, so we can safely assume that he probably spent way too much time reading fanfiction. However, his artistic ability has granted him the power to change any Game Breaker’s appearance to that of a random villager for one night. This power cannot be used on the same person again until Dr. Bath has gone through the entire list of wolves excluding himself (who he can’t use it on). Dr. Bath uses his ability by naming the role he wants disguised to the narrator.

Eldritch Knight- A seasoned player who is very good at staying under the radar, he was selected very early by the Grand Game Breaker himself! Due to his under-the-radar abilities, he can elect to send in his real point to the narrator via pm. When lynched, the "EK Maneuver" takes effect, effectively preventing any wolves from being lynched the next day.

Evnafets – Deceptively cute and childish, Lil’ Evvie is more devious than he looks, for he has been planning on taking over the Gumdrop Mountains from Atreyu for some time. He has re-christened himself as Lil’ Evvie, the Destroyer of Worlds. If killed, he will take one person responsible for his death with him.

Shadow – The BBEG himself, famous for The Rule of Shadow and whatnot. He has handpicked his team and prepared for a fight (not actually alpha pick, just randomized). He has one goal, and that is to break this game he has, well, broken into. To do this, he employs crazy ninja magic to figure out the role of one person each night.

Supagoof – Shadow’s right hand man, if Shadow should fall in battle, Supagoof is ready and willing to step up and take the reigns of his evil empire his evil Game Breaking Group and will take over the scry ability.

The Neutral Roles:

These people have found themselves caught up in this conflict but are apathetic as to its conclusion. They merely want to settle their own person conflicts.

Spoiler

Show

Aemoh – Get him! He’s Sephiroth!!!! Oh, wait, wrong game, but he is Sephiroth, so, serious, lynch him in AC 3. Because of his avatar, no one can trust Aemoh, I’m afraid neither team will accept him as a comrade. Due to his lack of alliances, Aemoh only has one weapon at his disposal to get trust, his vote. Every night he has the option of surrendering his vote to another player, increasing their vote’s power by 1. Aemoh can still do a fake point in thread to put off those evil little spreadsheets. If the player Aemoh targets would have their voting power lost due to a special ability, they will get back their voting power due to Aemoh’s sacrifice. If Aemoh restores 3 Good Gamer's voting power, he will be accepted into their folds and gain their win condition. If he restores 2 Game Breaker's voting power, he will likewise be accepted in. Otherwise, his only goal is to survive.

Castaras - The nemesis of all things cookie, Castaras is responsible for Dallas-Dakota's current cookieless conundrum. Of the 10 cookies of ultimate power, Castaras has destroyed 7. To further the ways of Pieomancy, Castaras seeks the final 3 cookies, as when each cookie is destroyed, its power transfers to the remaining cookies and, when all but one are destroyed, it can be used to turn all the world's cookies INTO PIES!!!! MUAHAHAHAAHA! Oh, and because D-D is a ninja and stole Castaras' lunch money back in 2nd grade, but she doesn't like to talk about that. Anyway, each night Castaras will be allowed to pie two people in the face. If they were holding a cookie, their voting priviledge is suspended for the next two days and any special abilities by one night, and that cookie is given to Castaras. To win, Castaras must collect all the cookies, once that has been accomplished, Castaras will wreak holy havoc on all followers of Cookiemanjaro, expect much death.

CurlyKitGirl – The nemesis of all things squid bones, she is hunting down the preposterous notion that squids could have bones, I mean come on, what in the world?!?!? Every night she can check a person to see if they hold a squid bone. If the player she targets is holding a squid bone, the bone is destroyed and the player then loses their next day ability to point. CKG is on Team Neutral and wins if she destroys over 50% of the squid bones handed out.

DD – The chaotic, blue cookie monster has somehow stumbled upon this peaceful game and has demanded his stolen cookies to be returned. As the high priest of Cookiemanjaro, D-D has the ability to recruit a priest of Cookiemanjaro on Night 1. Every night he (and the priest) can each pick one person to recruit as a simple follower of Cookiemanjaro. The followers will use whatever skills they posess (and a helpful cookie-scry they will gain when accepting Cookiemanjaro into their lives) to hunt down and find these cookies before Castaras.

Fleeing Coward – Nuisance or savior? No one knows for sure. Because of his cowardice he can decrease the total votes for his lynch by 1 due to sympathy, I suppose. Also, he can, once per game make a bonus scry, at any time. Unfortunately for him the scry is public and his identity will be revealed along with his identity.

Freshmeat – A lone gunman with both strategy and a certain fondness for westerns. He has an ongoing feud with Mustiado that spans the ages, the genres and tvtropes. Every night Freshmeat can pick one target, if that target is Mustiado, Mustiado dies and Freshmeat wins, leaving the game in a very desperado type way.

Griever – Narrator, better known as He-Who-We-Shall-Not-Toy-With

Haruki-kun – Known to many as the Angel of Ambiguous Allegiance, we can never quite be sure who Haruki is fighting for, if, in fact, Haruki is fighting for anyone else than himself. At the start of the game, Haruki can pick either Team Good or Team Evil. The first person to die (from the allegiance of Haruki's choice) in the game will have their role re-assigned to Haruki, win condition and all.

Mustadio – Nemesis to Freshmeat, Mustiado can once every night see if someone is Freshmeat. If they are, then Mustiado enacts the Mustiado maneuver, killing Freshmeat. Unfortunately this maneuver is so… ummm, daring, that it causes the death of Mustiado, probably something to do with killing Freshmeat on an oil rig with a flamethrower.

Vampiric – Vampiric took a wrong turn at YOW 3 and instead of ending up at Vampire III has somehow found their way into Candyland. To escape, Vampiric must collect essences! Every night Vampiric can pick someone to bite, receiving a piece of their essence. The chosen person cannot act at all the next day. Vampiric, however, will get a bonus +1 to their point for that day. Cannot target self with bite. To win, Vampiric must live through the game and sample each of these roles: A Wolf, The Seer/Devil/Scry Interference-Man, A Mason; if Vampiric successfully samples all three, they can leave the game early or stay in, creating more havoc.

Zar Peter – Zar Peter is an expert in bone-logic. He, for example, is absolutely sure that squid bones do exist. In order to further his point, he has crafted a large number of fake squid bones along with a collection of real squid bones. Every night he can attempt to, through the narrators, give both a real and fake squid bone to separate people. If they accept the real squid bone, they are granted a once only +1 to their vote the next day. If they accept a fake, they lose their pointing ability the next day. Zar Peter is on Team Neutral, he wins if over half of the bones he has handed out still exist at the end of the game.

Cookies:

Spoiler

Show

There will be three cookies in the game. They will be handed out to random people at the start. That person may decide to eat the cookie or pass it on that night. If he eats the cookie he MUST pass the cookie on as well. IF you eat the cookie, Dallas-Dakota will be informed. The cookie can give a wide variety of abilities including a once-only scry, immunity to the next day's lynch, or others...

Pass the Boom:

Spoiler

Show

Candyland was such a beautiful place, and we should always remember it well as it was, before these Game Breakers (sssss) assaulted this wonderful land.

In order to fully remember this land, I think a song is in order *clears throat* Laaaaa, alright, now that my throat is clear, I would like to announce that Cristo will be singing. Cristo will start the game with the Boom De Yada and will pass it (via narrator) to someone at night. That person then must pass the Boom the next night, etc. etc. The Good Gamer's Goal is to Pass the Boom through all the surviving members of the Good Guy Side if they succeed, they get a super-secret bonus! However, Supagoof, being the evil guy that he surely is, covets the Boom De Yada. If the Boom De Yada is passed to Supagoof, Team Evil will get a ultra-secret bonus instead of Team Good!

Some things added:

Mechanics:

Boom De Yada
Cookie Control

Characters:

Castaras Added
Mustiado Added (Some stupid mistake that he was left out of the first one )
Haruki-kun Added
xNadia Added
Catseye2121 Added
Dallas-Dakota Tweaked

Thoughts, suggestions, complaints, epiphanies?

Fantastic idea, and love the descriptions so far, except that I'm ambidextrous and neither hand is for Shadow.

A few thoughts...

Good team is WAY overpowered balance wise. 18 roles that can also earn special conditions if terms are met vs. 6 roles. 11 Neutral overall means a very small-small-small pool of players for the Breakers to hide amongst (35 all together!). If the game is about game-breaking, I can tell you now from experience with large games that it will break in 2 days. Tops. See discussions about games with too many roles for more details.

I think the Voider or "The Debacler" as it's called should be moved to Game Breakers side. Yes, it becomes more powerful there since the Breakers know each other, but well, see point above about imbalance.

Jontom Xire should have a role on the game breakers side as well. Perhaps something along the line of point changing (he can change someone's point to someone else without them knowing.) or maybe trained assassin (extra kill every 3rd night)?

I like the recruitment/cookie/pie thing. That's an interesting way to add another touchy subject (recruitment) into the game. I'm a little concerned with it's ability to break the game, because of the question "What happens when a breaker and a good guy get recruited into a neutral entity?" - But that depends entirely on how the breaker and good guy handle it i suppose.

If they accept, they´re not a ´good guy´or a ´breaker´ anymore, they´re a follower of Cookiemanjaro. I suppose it would be critical with knowing other roles(with the breakers and masons)

I agree with your post though.

[Griever]

Not exactly following on how the Good Gamers are overpowered, sure there are 18 "power" roles, but by far, most are not glamorous.

The 18 just break up into these:

Night Baner
Day Baner
Seer
Fool
Scry-Shielder
Lover
Lover
Mason
Mason
Mason
Voider
Anti-Voter (-1 vote)
Narration Delayer
Procrastinator (Day Late Vote)
Bandwagoner (Dies if they follow two successful bandwagons in a row, and must lead a bandwagon to get a once-only scry)
Once-only protection from lynch or night-kill man
Good Under-the-radar lady
Changeable Alliance Mordokai

The first 11 of those roles are pretty standard roles (with maybe exception to Voider and Scry-Shielder), the rest mainly can be considered as negative roles or roles with little power. (although, in the right place the Narration Delayer could be killer *remembers his Vampire II lynch *)

I agree about the Voider should be moved, though not to the Game Breakers, Cristo can just join the ranks of the neutrals instead, since all the Game Breakers have pretty strong abilities across the board and will have another member once I add JX.

As to the cookie recruitments, I was aiming for that to be more like a WWX dealie thingie. If they accept recruitment, they gain the status "Cookiemanjaro follower" to their current role, or else the game would end up flooded with followers and the wolves vs. villagers conflict would be washed away.

Also, D-D has NO ability to see if the people he recruits are wolves or villagers, as that is of little importance to his cookie-hunting; so even if Shadow and Atreyu end up followers, they are none wiser to the other's basic role.

Any special plans on hallowen games?
And yes I do realize that its more then a month before hallowen starts but I'm excited about it anyway... as for christmas games.

[Uncle Festy]

@^: Christmas and Halloween are both religious holidays, so I suggest we steer clear from both – or at the very least, from Christmas. Halloween has drifted towards secularity, so I dunno…
