Werewolf CLXIII: The Last Council of Mankind

[marty99]

3 words?

"Confucius he Say:"

Randy I'll repost them in a while. Basically there'll be spies, a Council of some sort, and a High-Sorcerer who can save someone from a lynch (old variant of WD's).
In fact, I'll just put up the whole rules page. Give me a while.

I wouldn't mind it one bit if sign ups closed and the game started right about now.

 

[jonti-h]

although I still maintain someone who doesn't want to should pick Confucius as their character, because all you have to do is put the same three words in front of every post. I mean, c'mon!

I'll do it.

Confucius he say, man who go through airport turnstile sideways is going to Bangkok

So what do you guys think about my proposed rule-changes? 24 pages and still haven't seen any sign of that still. High-Sorc etc...

Oh, right. Let's see what's been proposed, then.

There will be Spies in this game. They will have a reasonably significant role.

I've never played with this role before. How does it work, exactly?

There will be some kind of Council similar to last game. They may have different powers, but whatever they will be it will some conglomeration of the typical werewolf power: protection/scanning/hunting etc

Cool. I liked the GC last time around.

I'm thinking of a sorcerer role with the following ability, from White Daimon's Rise of Bal:

Sorcerer: Evil. Can use his powers of sorcery to protect one person from a lynching each day. He must send in orders for his protection before the start of the day (i.e., the day before). He can never protect the same person twice in a row and can never protect himself. If the person he is protecting is voted to be lynched, that lynch target will disappear right before he is to be hanged, but will reappear in the Tavern the following day and thus cannot be hunted during the night
Perhaps combined with scanning abilities. If protection works, scan cannot be used that night.

Hmm, that's a very interesting one. I think it's pretty good, and less unbalanced than the high-sorc was last game (because whichever pack found the high sorc first had a huge advantage because they could get the whole curse list), even though the role seemed like it was really awesome last time around. I do think there needs to be some sort of full-time evil scanner; maybe make a traditional sorc and make the lynch protector a separate role?

Also, will cultists be able to scan in some capacity like last time?

I WANT to have a thief of some kind in the game, but it depends on the reaction to it. As are all the above, really, if there's a particularly negative reaction to one, I will take it out or modify it.

I have no problem with it. Not sure if I prefer the kind that kills people and takes their role or a simple trait-robber. Both are OK with me.

It's your only hope of stopping the spam invasion, marty.

"Confucius he Say:"

I always thought it was just "Confucius say".

Oh well.

No results for "magic"
see instead: Magic, Randy's Black

The page exists in Dutch only, maybe for the better.

Wait, there are people who don't recognize that that is from the Mass, or at least from the Gospels? Granted, I'm kind of a crazy Catholic, but that's not exactly obscure.

I haven't been to Mass in my life, and it's been at least two years since I went to a baptism or a wedding. A more communist fellow would say it is the 'opium of the people'.

Do note that while my English is pretty good AND I have been to Mass a few times when I was a kid (catholic school...) I never actually went to an Mass in English :mellow:

[Lemeard]

With this many players I only expect to read about a fifth of the posts, and I'll still be better at picking out baddies than the lot of you.

 

[THE_SPLIT]

yeah i'm the village clown

are you being sarcastic?

 

[Steed]

Do my eyes see straight?? 47 players.... Now that's one im sad too miss.

On the plus side, its nice and sunny up here in the Orkneys

Give the man a little time to work out his ruleset.
But yeah, apart from that .. I wouldn't mind either.

I've never played with this role before. How does it work, exactly?

The spy sends in a scan order and gets a bit of RP describing about that person and possibly about what that person was doing that night. A good spy report will be a tad on the ambiguous side but will contain clues. Less good spy reports (or multiple reports on the same person) can basically clear or condemn a person.

Cool. I liked the GC last time around.

I've always like that from the first game it showed up.

Hmm, that's a very interesting one. I think it's pretty good, and less unbalanced than the high-sorc was last game (because whichever pack found the high sorc first had a huge advantage because they could get the whole curse list), even though the role seemed like it was really awesome last time around. I do think there needs to be some sort of full-time evil scanner; maybe make a traditional sorc and make the lynch protector a separate role?

He's not just a lynch protector, but really a kind of death immunity provider. That power can be insanely powerful for team wolf as well, if used right.
The biggest problem though is that you risk having some really boring days; Imagine that order being used on a wolf doing a false outing on day 1. That means: Bandwagon on day 1, bandwagon on the wolf on day 2, bandwagon on the wolf *again* on day 3. And depending on how this interacts with brutals and hunter powers it might cause hunters to waste their ability as well, removing the option for the village to just have somebody shoot him on day 3.
I would be really careful with this role. Not sure if I like it much as-is.

I have no problem with it. Not sure if I prefer the kind that kills people and takes their role or a simple trait-robber. Both are OK with me.

Considering how that role got used in the Alliance of Magicians I can say it definitely has the potential to spice things up a bit.
Though I don't like people role-switching much in general.

A porn king? .. seriously. You don't make this stuff up.

In!

Fixed that for you.

 

[Steed]

Fixed that for you.

As much as that would be great, id be a dead fish with no input and missed voting.

Thinking about it, just the way I like to play.. (JOKE!!!)
