Werewolf General Planning Thread

[marty99]

Yeah, if we ever do a new one we should wait at least 4/5 months IMHO. This one is fine for the moment, and we can always add more posts to it explaining and talking about the game, particularly every time a new game starts.

Oh, and jacob, I was wondering about posting sign-up threads for new games just before previous game ends. Would that be okay with the 1 game-at-a-time-limit providing the new game does not start before the previous one ends?

 

[jacob-Lundgren]

Since games are not specifically on a schedule to end the only way it could possibly work is if a game was down to so few people it must by default end with that update regardless and that is VERY few games. A game thread can of course go live the minute after a game ends but we need to get a slight bit more active GMing group again for that to even matter.

I'm thinking say if the new thread wasn't scheduled to start for another week, and the previous one was down to maybe 5/6 players. Even if two threads are open only one game will be on at a time. You're right that it's not an issue now I suppose, and if I ever were thinking of doing it I'd run it by you at the time. Thanks for taking the time to reply jacob

This quote I take as a challenge:

If you manage to include incestious dwarf emperors I might consider joining in...

I was thinking that a successful leaderlynch could promote the leader to king (lynched baddie is scanned) or emperor (lynched baddie is unscanned) and that the ledear/king and leader/emperor would then get more relaxed rules for lynching whoever he wants. Current leader rules requires that the substitute lynchee has to have a percentage of the original lynchees votes.

But the reason I PM you is the "dwarf" bit. The current setting is vikings on the Russian rivers and in Frans G. Bengtsson's "The longship" - best novel ever written in Swedish BTW - there are some Irish dwarf jesters. In the back of my mind I seem to recall we had a "jester" rule/trait and I think it was back in the days of WD, I5 and Llywelyn so maybe one of you can remember what it was - or maybe even better come up with what a dwarf should be in WW terms.

As for the "incestious" maybe something could be done with the lover? Lets say a baddie lover that sleeps around inside his own wolfpack? But what effect should that have - normally a lover is a sort of role blocker and a baddie blocking his own packmates to stay home wouldn't make much sense so there has to be some benefit to it but what?

Sorry, jester doesn't ring a bell. An elevated leader ability would be interesting and workable since it includes baddie sacrifice possibilities or blind luck. Total shot in the dark not thought out for balance...a baddie lover could be a no-power individual that is evil, must sleep with a baddie each night, dies if that baddies does and knows all the baddies? Since he HAS to sleep with a baddie at night and dies if they do at night he would not want to betray anyone as to limit those he can sleep with and must bounce back and forth between each pack until only 1 survives? Requires a busy person though but gives the baddies more coordination to avoid hanging power.

Never heard of "dwarves" before, no.
As for "incestuous", maybe this person, sleeping with someone else, would make the person so affected scan as if they were the role of the incestuous character rather than their own?

I'm pretty sure we never had dwarves. I was thinking of jesters but as jacob couldn't remember it I think I must have mixed it up with a player called Jester180.

Not sure I understand your take on incest here. Do you mean a scan of the lover or lovee would return the scan result for the other player rather than as I usually have it the scan result of both if targeted on the lovee or none if targeted at the lover? That could work and would make this type of lover more interesting for the baddies.

Maybe I should just move the whole discussion to the general thread but I wasn't sure how many reads that, especially the oldies.

Myeah

Anyone else want to chip in?

I think most "Oldies" do have the General WW thread as a subscription yes..

Didn't we have a Jester role that switched targets at hunts/scans/??..
Ex: Wolpack hunts person A, "Jester" has put in order to switch A to C to all nightly orders, thus person C is hunted.

For me it does look a lot of work for the GM to remeber that bit.. I haven't GM:d so I really couldn't say.
If I have the time I'll try to look it up.. Us "Oldies" are known to remeber things very wrong..

Packs eating their own ftw

Well yeah, but I was trying to trick them into joining the game by starting to discuss things. Didn't work though.

That was probably the role I was thinging of! Why didn't I PM you?

It has happened. Don't think it resulted in wins.

 

[Paendrag]

Packs eating their own ftw

I ate Lewellyn as 1st, after he as 2nd wolf without saying a word to our wolfpack sold out the undiscovered 3rd wolf.....

Win No..
Satisfaction Yes.

OTH I have played very good games with that man wich just shows metagaming is useless

 

[Najs]

Well, Lord Strange has now been raised to Demi Mod-status. As a WW regular, surely this means he has come to do battle with Jacob over the WW community?

And if he won't seek the territory of the WW community, we should at least be able to force him to play more games.

The Emperor is under no threat by this new so called power.

And? THE EMPEROR OF WEREWOLVES NEEDS NOT HUMAN CLOTHING!

Was this not called 'Changeling'?

 

[johho888]

No, that was a Guardian Angel type of role that redirected wolf hunts from protected player A to player B. (Bad idea IMO since it could be used by a JL to both protect members and have wolves eat themselves)

Right, okay. There is still some overlap though, in that what Paen used as an example could happen with the changeling.
But I'd love to see a link to this jester role (I'm not asking you to look for it), I've never seen or heard of it before unless my memory is less than perfect, which of course it isn't.

I must say I am quite pleased with the turnout so far. Whoever said WW was dead?

All your werewolf lite games go heavily off course.
