Can't just have them hire that lady with the big damn axe?

((Sorry, I just can't grasp the idea of Steiner ever turning against Dagger, and seeing as her death is an eventual req for the Remnants... my mind is having problems coming to terms with it ))

This time the abilities might be a bit more powerful then the last game and even dead players can become possessed by the kami. Special achivments will in many cases reward the player with a kami. But beware, all the Kami are not on the villagers side and may cuase harm instead.

Looking for feedback on balance...

[Lamech]

Both the Ninja Teams and the Samurais will have a leader that will select the members of his team before the game begin. The players that have been selected to join the team will in their turn be able to select what type of Ninja/Samurai they want to be.

Umm... I can see a problem with this whole select what type of samuri you want to be. Everyone will just select the indebted samuri, and target themselves. The masons will all be unkillable, and if they ever out number both ninja groups its game over.

Also the hunters are doomed if Kuori dies...

Oh, I was going to change that, The roles will not be selected instead they will be given out at random. The leaders of the samurai and the ninja teams will still select the members but not what roles they are going to be.
And the ninjas are masons they can't "outnumber" the wolfs.

Edit: If Kuori would die another randomly selected player in the hunter team will simply take his role.

Emperor Demonking, delete all your posts, I don't want to spam this thread too much...

NINJA!

Anyway... just as a heads up, the working title for the WW I was working on is currently "Memesville", because we couldn't think of anything cheesier.

Also, Vespe Ratavo will be my co-narrator.

I think I'm just going stand over here in this corner...

Not Mimesville?

.

Is that correct?
You should post that a hunter needs to be alive for the hunters to win.
Did you mean to give the samurais semi investigation immunity. (The devil isn't told what samurai he is.)
Can power roles bev recruited?

Power roles can't be recruited (unless they are villagers that have been possessed by a kami).
Yes, I did mean to give the samurais a sami-scry immunity just like I did with the ninjas.
I will add that to the rules.

[Haruki-kun]

What I just done must be an unholy act in anime.

No, just in grammar and Foreign Language word adaptation. One Ninja, two Ninja. *glares at the screen* I'm looking at you, Herman!

Not Mimesville?

Er... wanna try a WW game with mimes?

[Reinholdt]

All pointing would have to be done telepathically!

[Supagoof]

Titans 2 Game has started here!

[Skippy]

All pointing would have to be done telepathically!

No, actually it wouldn't have to be like that. Only, the characters wouldn't have any lines. Just *Point at Reinholdt* and that's it.

[Dallas-Dakota]

I actually find it kind of funny, because my powers when I'm in the town(not Forodwaith or such) are partly mime-powers, which I have used a lot in NO.....

[Lamech]

One final question Shadowcaller, is recruitment refuseable, for villagers?

[Shadowcaller]

Yes, its refusable.

[Reinholdt]

No, actually it wouldn't have to be like that. Only, the characters wouldn't have any lines. Just *Point at Reinholdt* and that's it.

Sorry, I confused Telepathy with Telekinesis again.

We'd all have to telekinetically move our fingers to point!

(I still vote in favor of telepathy, though).

[Dallas-Dakota]

I just think everything should be done in white text.

Since actually bothering to teach every player how to use mime-language would be a huge effort.....And a bother... And I'm lazy...

[Mustiado]

I thought the only true language of the mine was tears. ?:P

[Shadow]

Nope. It's sign language. For instance: A broken beer bottle waved around your head wildly - means - Leave me the **** ALONE, you miming bastard!

Universal, I'd say.

[Haruki-kun]

I just think everything should be done in white text.

No! It should be completely done in Kiss or Kill Style!

*kiss X*
*kill Y*
*point at Z*

*thoroughly explains that when Z pointed at B, yada yada yada, so Z is a wolf*

*goes back to doing whatever he was doing*

[TFT]

Quick question for narrators - How are roles decided? Is it randomized, or do you just pick it? I haven't heard.

[Haruki-kun]

You randomize it, either using a Dice Roller or a hat with names. Usually, picking is frowned upon.

[Shadow]

COMPLETELY randomized is the only fair thing.
Unless, of course, you have a special role for a player.
Example:
In Hogwart's Havok The Death Eaters (wolves) and the Teachers (masons) were both alpha groups.
Supagoof was chosen by both teams. Thus, he was given the role of Severus Snape, a double agent similar to that in Spytrap.
Extenuating circumstances are the ONLY time that this randomizing should be circumvented.

You want a first time player to have the exact same chance as an high profile player of getting... say... the Seer.

Otherwise, all of the big name players would never survive the game. They'd all immediately be lynched on the basis that they're veterans, and therefore probably got a role.
Bad idea, to say the least.

Just use the hat.

Even though I use a big clock unless one of my co-narrators object.

I use the hat. I'm more old-fashioned like that.

Back in my day, we didn't have all your Online Dice Rollers and your Broadband, and your YouTube, and your lolcats, and we could only connect via Dial-up... *waves walking stick*

The weirdest part is that this could actually be something to tell my grandchildren.

[Shadow]

I've been considering losing the spreadsheet and going back to pen and paper tracking, like I used to do.
I think I was better at it that way...

EDIT: And we passed our Health Inspection today! Order product tomorrow, right before the furniture shows up. Start assembling barstools and tables. Arrange the couches in the side room. Stock the bar and shipments on Thursday and Friday. Shift meeting Friday night with the staff.
Take Saturday and Sunday off because I NEED IT!...

Open Monday! :bigexcited:

Right now I'm going to get the first full night's sleep that I've had in a month... I've already spent too much time here tonight.
