Werewolf Central III - All potential wolves please read

[Nychta]

Ooh, for my role, could it please include betraying Banjo's trust spectacularly?

EDIT: D-D knows why now

[Dallas-Dakota]

I thought Mordokai played lots of WW games

And yeah it could be but I instigated the original debacle back in ACII. Much fun was had in that game and my general missing the crux of every issue!

Yeah, now that I think about it, he does, but almost never the games im in, and when we do end up in the same game, I almost never see him... Except for some games...

And xnadia... Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! Not mah buddy Banjo!

[Emperor Demonking]

How come I'm always the BBEG?!?
I'm a good villager too! And we basically BROKE Hogwarts for the Teachers (masons) in that one. See? I can break games for the good guys too!

In all honesty, I'd say DON'T give roles to everyone. Games like that tend to get broken of their own accord with litle or no help from players.

But it looks like fun so far!

Hey twist wasn't broken.

[Vampiric]

Haha, awesome Griever

Still definitely playing. Ironically enough, though, Vampires is one of the few WW incarnations that I haven't played a single version of.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Also, I demand that I'm Da Rogue gets a role.

[Murska]

Woo! Thanks for giving me a role. And an important one, too!

[banjo1985]

Looks absolutely awesome Griever!

I particularly like my role, I have the power to save lynchees in my very hands!

Hey all,

I've been tossing a couple of ideas around in my head for a new structured game, and I am hoping that I can get some input.

First Idea:

Team Werewolf

Basically, start 1 thread where people form teams for werewolf-type games. Each team consists of 4 people. Then, there will be 4 mini-werewolf games created under the umbrella of Team Werewolf. Each team assigns one of its members to represent that team in the mini-werewolf edition.

Then the 4 mini-werewolf games will run, and each person that "wins" (whatever the win condition may be), is awarded 1 point. After the conclusion of the 4 mini-games, tally up the points of all the winners, and then announce a Team that won the whole thing.

Example: Alarra, Zeb, Llama, and Indurain form team Awesome. They decide that Alarra will be in mini-Pirates, Zeb will be in mini-WW classic, Llama will be in mini-YoW, and Indurain will be in mini-(insert other popular game here).

Alarra wins Pirates, Zeb wins classic, llama loses YoW, and Indurain wins other game. So Team Awesome ends with 3 points. Compare that to the other teams and whoever has the most points wins. Ties can remain ties or perhaps we can break them in some suitable way.

We would try to organize each of the mini-games to run for approximately the same amount of time.

Thoughts/ideas/suggestions?

Second Idea:

Ultimate Dodgeball

Those that sign up do so as part of a team. 6 players per team. The teams are then randomly pitted against one another in tournament style. During each round (24 hours RL time) each player on the team chooses one of the following actions:

Throw (Player) - Throw a dodgeball at a specific player.
Catch (Player) - Anticipate that a specific opposing player will throw a ball at you, and be ready to catch it.
Defend (General) - Try to dodge out of the way of any balls thrown at you.

Which they PM to the narrators (or maybe each team nominates a captain to do so?).

If a player is the target of a Throw they are eliminated unless they have choosen to Catch against that specific player, or they have chosen to Defend. If they had chosen Catch against the specific person that used Throw on them, then the person who used Throw is eliminated, and the person who used Catch gets to bring back one of their eliminated players.

If a player who uses Defend is the target of TWO players using Throw, then they are eliminated.

Note that is is possible to Catch a ball thrown at you, and also be eliminated because another player used Throw on you.

The winning teams move on to face other winning teams, losing teams are eliminated.

[Uncle Festy]

That looks pretty cool.
I'd suggest letting the teams (from Team WW) confer on their strategies in the various games.

Looks a lot like a variation of (team)raf or something...

[Reinholdt]

What happens when you have only one player left on each team in Dodgeball? It degrades into a prisoner's dilemma and both players will be set on catch for, well, all eternity.

[Tormsskull]

What happens when you have only one player left on each team in Dodgeball? It degrades into a prisoner's dilemma and both players will be set on catch for, well, all eternity.

I had thought about that, and I figured it would result in a player from each side being reinstated. The likelihood of two 6 person teams resulting in a 1v1 seems pretty low though, so I don't think it would happen too often.

[Cristo Meyers]

Shouldn't that like, be Mordokai's role, despite that he really doesn't play WW games....

Only when I'm playing Mi'ir...which isn't very often.

I have way to many personalities...

Ooh ooh! I'll be a role! I'll be the guy who wins if he can get Cristo Lynched in a debacle!

Except Demonking is currently far ahead of you in attempts to get me lynched. It happens usually about once a game (and more than half the time it got him killed as well).

Though you did specify "in a debacle..."

[Mordokai]

Great, now you're going to make me fall WW stlye? Is there no way to stop you people?

Otherwise, looks great

Both of those ideas are awesome, and I will be signing up as soon as the recruitment thread opens

[Shadow]

Taken in order:

Alright, then...... can I book (for now) the nearest available date, Shadow? Even if it IS like 3 months away?

Done. Oct 20-24?

Can I book the nearest available date for Twin Village.

Done. Nov 3-7?

I would like to schedule a Ravnica WW game for November 3rd.

Looks lie ED beat you to it apparently.
How's Nov 10-17 sound?
See below.
Done.

I'd like to schedule for November 9th, then.

Done.

Then I guess I get October 20th.

Done.
((Thank you to the 3 of you for working that out on your own. It almost got confusing for me. I hate having to push people back, like I'm about to....))

I would like to pick October the 26th for Kyou II or Alignment Wars, whatever I think is best at the time...

First available date, as I'm taking them on a first-come first-served basis, is Nov 17-21. How's that?

Game thread for Monty Python and the Holy Grail is up.
Enjoy.

Linked.

Nearly forgot:

Werewolf Classic VII is recruiting!

Linked.

Hey twist wasn't broken.

I didn't say that they always get broken, I said that they tend to get broken.
Anyway, wasn't that some sort of "secret" game? If no one knows the roles, no one can know that everyone has one (or even what they are). There are exceptions.

[Shadow]

A reminder to everyone:

Please remind me HERE when your game ends so that I can update the links in the schedule.
There are a TON of games going on. I don't follow them all. I simply don't have the time.
A friendly reminder is absolutely wonderful!

It will save me the time of having to click every single link on the schedule every time I want to update the table.
Thanks!

[Griever]

Still playing around with the rules here of The Day Candyland Broke.

Here's two more roles that I am almost finished tweaking, was curious what people thought.

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 in the game of that Team will have their role re-assigned to Haruki, win condition and all.

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

[Haruki-kun]

Heh.... that's an interesting role. I like it.

So does that mean that if say... I'm Haruki and I pick team Good, and then a Villager dies, I turn into a Villager, though?

[Skippy]

Griever, your game idea is awesome! If I can manage to find some time, I'll play it, definitely.

Also, coming on 2009...

My long-postponed WW game based on Isaac Asimov's Robot Stories!

[Nychta]

I like my role, and also 'Ruki's, and his would also make scenarios like the time where the Alpha got lynched on the first day (that was in WWX, right?) not quite so damaging.

Erm I think we posted it but I'll do it again just in case.

Stargate WW is over! the Goa'Uld (Wolves) won

Is their any plans for Discworld II

And I also won, even though I wasn't a wolf.(If I remember correctly)

And I survived as the last Mason.

Am I the only one who thinks this should be linked somewhere?

[Uncle Festy]

Alright, came up with a different idea for the Uncle Festy role in Candyland:

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.

Thoughts?

My thoughts are we should have the WW Central thread specifically to announce games, the winners of the games, and propose rules for new versions.

I also think we should have another sub-forum for WW tactica as the tactical discussions are often lost here in WW Central. Just my thoughts.

[Andre Fairchilde]

Is their any plans for Discworld II

Hmmm. ZP is about to run WW Classic, I'm supposed to be putting the recruiting thread up for the next Mafia as well as co-narrating Lord of the Rings WW, and Curlykitgirl is running Monty Python.

So... it may be a couple of months before the three of us get together again for another DW WW. Although it was a fun one!

Hah, I like it.

Will give the immune role to someone else, as I still like the idea.

Now if Dallas just comes back with his Cookiemanjaro game mechanic he promised.
