@XF: Well, you'd have to have some killer(s), otherwise it would be totally random. "Ooh, look, that guy has a lot of points and isn't me, so let's lynch him!" It would devolve into pointless chaos rather quickly.
...Yeah...so? I think it would work pretty well. It's more a matter of getting together a band of people to kill others off. Besides, you're saying this compared to...a "normal" werewolf game in which it doesn't devolve into "Ooh, look, that guy has a lot of points and isn't me, so let's lynch him!"

Hmm. Do I trust you or not? Hard to say. But since I'm naught but a villager, I've got nothing to lose.
Then again I'd tell you that regardless of my role.
I know I wouldn't trust me if I were me.
((Here's my PM to Shadow. Take from it what you will. I probably would have sent something similar no matter what I was.))

She points at Erik. Erik. Then she points at herself. Sheelah. Then she points at Reinholdt, and waits.
"You know, I think we should try and either teach you English, or figure out what language you're actually speaking." He points to himself. "Reinholdt."
"Just a second." Reinholdt goes to get some paper and a pencil. He hands it to Sheelah. "Can you write? Could you write the name of your language on here?" He looks at her.

Sheelah smiles broadly at her hero. She thinks she is falling in love with the kitty. She takes the paper and pencil and writes out. Latvian. She hands it back to him. Latviešu.

"Latvian, huh? Either of you know anyone who translates Latvian? If so, maybe we can find this person, and figure out what to do from there?" He looks from Sheelah to Eric and back.

"Hmm. Ok. Eric you stay here and watch her. I'll be back as soon as I can." Reinholdt scampers out after the good-byes to go find a book at the library.
On his way out, he notices his gun lying in the mud behind a booth. "There you are!" He goes and picks up his gun, hugging it tightly to him. "I'll never lose you again. Now we can pick back up our act. Just gotta clean you up a bit." With that, he heads out, gun in tow, mission in mind.

I was one of the assassins... I find it humorous that in a game with NO wolves, I end up as the role responsible for the nightkills.
And, so, the Rule of Murska is yet again correct.
Even when not a wolf, Murska is a wolf.

I'll have the laywer that Mordy has. Paladins are quite good with that sort of thing, I believe
Also, a thought I just had, spoilered for convenience, and cos people might not want to read about another opinion about the last couple of pages...
Spoiler
Adding a further 2cp to the table (which I think makes 4 or 6 cp now...), I think that the main reason for the reaction to this (apart from, as Banjo said, trying to get a handle on WW in general) is because some people have got themselves a comfort zone in WW games now. (Me included). JX (as far as I know) first challenged it with Ultimate Chaos, but it was implied in the rules that things would not be normal. This time around, I think some people thought, as I did, that this would be a normal WW game, but with a cool setting. A couple of small omissions in the first post meant that they were easily missed, and the comment that some roles would be included, and some wouldn't meant that people were looking for normal wolf and mason teams, with potential variations.
Finding out that (an admittedly awesome) prank had been pulled, potentially causing the rules of the game to change, shook some people from their comfort zone - again, that includes me. Realising now that it didn't actually affect the game (as in breaking it) as much as it came across, made me realise that, to quote and paraphrase Captain Barbossa:
"They aren't so much rules, as guidelines."
Which means a lot of potential has opened up for other games that can pull stunts like this (in terms of changing the game - I think if anyone sees Indy or Shadow in a game from now on, the player list is going to be the first thing to hand ), but it means that something as 'revolutionary' as this can't be done again, which, now I'm past the shock of it I'm actually quite disappointed about.
Oh well. Live and learn.
Also, I am definitely in the re-hashed version of this game
I fought The Mysterious Circle of Shadowy Chairs in Discworld I (Dei in Machina) till the end, won the game and survived and all I got is this lousy signature line.
The best part? I didn't even know what was going on. I also didn't know their little secret for the game. All I knew was that they wanted me to come pretend to play.
The only reason that I even knew Indy wasn't playing either (because I didn't look at the player list, why would I, as I wasn't playing....) was because I saw an identical post to his Wall on Facebook from Alarra as one I had.
I just decided: "Well, if they want me to pretend to play, I'm gonna do JUST THAT! And why not get Indy involved?"
He picked up almost exactly where I was hoping he would.

no matter what game he's in or role he has. Duos says: I've read the archives... and Shadow frankly scares the bejeesus outta me. It's like playing with a
hypothetical cross of Lex Luthor and professor Moriarty.
If he was made of SPIDERS.
I'll join back in if they'restarting over. However, I've decided that this:

And this is where we wanted you guys to go. We wanted to (to borrow from Goof and Shadow's Titan game) think outside of the box and actually postulate ideas about why things were happening the way they were. And we thought it would be entertaining. The only three people we told about the underlying secret all thought it was a fantastic idea (Shadow was not one of those three, incidentally). Murska even suggested a game like this in the Central thread while the game was going on (we wanted to thwap you for that, by the way ) and no one said "Hey, that idea sucks. I would hate it".
means that, despite dying, I won that last round.

The way I saw it, the only thing the villagers would have gained from having me in the network would be one more person to point at whoever Shadow wanted dead, while, if he was a wolf, contacting him would both shorten the list of potential seers/baners/voiders/whatevers they wanted to kill and mark me as a gullible Shadow-trusting fool. It seemed to me that the best idea would be to at least wait until the night kills started forming a pattern which would support or oppose Shadow's claim in my eyes.

Yep, that is the danger of sending your roles somebody.. it tends to shorten the list. Because the amount of people that hold back because they realize "hey, this'll shorten the list of targets.. and if he's a wolf, that's bad!" aren't so big that the number of people going "...crap, I have an important role! Am I in more danger saying "villager here" or just not saying anything?" could hide easily..

In my experience, I've found that there are also people who don't realize, or don't care, that others simply don't appreciate their brand of nonsensical humor, even if they're not out of line with their antics.
Interesting twist. I think it fits perfectly with what a Fun House is supposed to be. I was surprised (and still am) that people would volunteer their roles to Shadow.
No offense, Shadow, but I usually wait for you to make it through Day 3 before I listen to anything you have to say.
I would play again (hopefully with more twists and turns). Life is about to get ridiculously busy, but if you all start another game, count me in.
