Default Open WW: Nowhere to hide (running)

Open WW

Nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide

For hundreds of years, a secret war was fought in between the cracks of civilizations. Four sides, each there own ideals, battled for supremacy of the worlds hidden in the shadows.

Although the secret battles between the honorable Knights, the wild Werewolves, the destructive Demons, and the mighty Dragons seemed to be having little effect of the stability of the world. the damage done to the underground was immense.

Someone decided the time to keep secrets was over.
And our souls were opened.

I think I might join this game. With the dragon team do both of the members get the same team choice or do they choose the team they want to win seperately?

Also what do alpha seers scry as? Alpha often make them scry as villager but that wouldn't make sense.

The dragons must choose the same team.

Alphas scry roles as Alphas except for when the fool does it.

The lynch fails and the deadsouls get one day closer to victory.

In before I'm low enough on the list that Internet Flea votes for me on day 1.

Edit 1: Wolfsoul "GOAL: Have equal or greater number than Wolfsouls and Demonsouls"
I assume you meant Knightsoul there?

And I'm a little confused. Do the Deathsouls win at 2 no-lynches or 3? Because in the rules it's three and in the goals it's 2.

Edit 2: In that case I want to be a Dragonsoul.

Anyone who wishes to be on a particular team, can say so. I might put you one it if I feel like being nice.
It's not like you wont know who is on which one when the game starts.

I'll let someone else (not the Narrator(s?)) pick me for their team - or put me on another players team to weight them down like a flaming parachute anchor.

Basic WW rules except I tell you who the wolves (and the demons, and the dragons) are on DAY 1.

You just have to lynch them.

@Ramsus: 3 no-lynches for Deathsoul win.

Only 13 sign ups.
Maybe it is too complicated.

Anyone want me to cut the roles down so we can start?

*Big No* We've lost the Gray Wolf.

Wolfsouls, a growing industry, we're recruiting.

Wait. Dragonsouls is now a 1 man band? That's...that's harsh. I will hope others play so I don't have to live with that scenario.

Edit: Looking at the rules again....how are Dragonsouls supposed to win if everyone knows that they're Dragonsouls? A stolen Knightsoul or Wolfsoul victory would be impossible. It would only be possible for the Dragonsouls to win as far as I can tell by wanting Demonsouls to win and for the Demonsouls to accidentally attain victory before they thought they would.

Now that Saposhiente is playing, I can add both dragonsouls.
The victory conditions of the other 4 sides are not affected by the dragonsouls. The Knights need to kill the Wolves and Demons. The Wolves need to reduce the Knights and Demons. Demons have the targets. And the Deathsouls want 3 no lynches. The dragons just need to help their chosen side and survive. The other sides might not have the time to waste offing dragons.

The Teams:


The Knightsouls
450 knights
30 dwarves
20 mechaknights
7 Knight commanders:
  • Tydude
  • Falgorn
  • Istari
  • Flame of Anor
  • cd4
  • Saposhiente
  • Blue Ghost


The Wolfsouls
90 werewolves
20 giant wolves
3 Alpha werewolves:
  • Gray Mage
  • Rakkon
  • Andre Fairchilde

The Demonsouls
600 assorted minor demons
3 Demon princes:
  • Duneyyr
  • Frozen Messiah
  • billtodamax

The Dragonsouls
6 adult dragons
5 young dragons
400 ratfolk
2 Elder Dragons:
  • Hipen3
  • Ramsus


Roles will be sent and the games starts... Tomorrow.
