    Default Werewolf Match Sign-Up May 2015

    Hey everyone. I'd really like to get a new Werewolf match going this month and am creating this thread to gauge interest. We have some new forum members who'll hopefully want to participate. This will be a great way to introduce them to FTR Werewolf as well as get to know some of our veteran contributors.

    Please post in this thread if you're available to participate. Start date TBD pending members' availability/suggestions. The format will likely be a vanilla game if newer members play.

    If you invite bigred to play, and it starts around the 20th, then I'll get back from my holiday at just the right time to replace him.

    It's a game of typically 2 teams, the village and the werewolves. Roles are chosen at random before the game. The village do not know the roles of any players. The wolves know who is on their team and can communicate outside of the game.

    The game lasts typically a couple of weeks and is split into day (typically 48 hrs or so) and night (typically 24 hrs) phases. At night the wolves chose a player to kill, thus reducing the number of villagers, and win by reducing the number of villagers to equal the number of wolves. Each day the village, consisting of villagers and wolves, chat with each other and try to figure out who the wolves are, and vote to kill a player at the end of the day, one person one vote, with wolves also getting to vote. So each full day and night leads to the pool of players reducing by two.

    The village win by killing all of the wolves.

    Each day you have the information gained from the previous day and night cycle to help narrow down who the wolves are. You can look at what people have said, who they've voted for, who was chosen to be killed by the wolves, and the roles of the dead are revealed to give more information.

    It's basically a game of deception and manipulation if you're a wolf or of playing detective if you're a villager.

    It's fun and frustrating.

    You should play.

    Read an old game thread if you want an idea of how it works.

    Yes, it's a game designed by Russians to train spies. You're either a part of the uninformed many or the informed few. Can you tell an honest man from a liar? Can you trick others from doing the same?

    Time to find out!

    Or to put it more simply, your life with werewolf:



    And your life without:

    I'm not sure how I missed your post, but thanks for pointing it out CrAzY.

    To Ong.... so we need to start on May 25th?
  27. #27
    Start when you like, it's just if you plan on starting soon, I should probably sit out.

    If the game is starting this week, then I think just consider me out. If it starts saturday or later, then count me in. That's probably the longest I can sit out the first day without it being a problem... like 48 hours or whatever.

    It's up to you dhuber, I don't want the game to revolve around me and my holidays. I'm like the only person here who doesn't work and it's me that's being awkward!

    12 is pretty much the minimum, right? If that's the case then I'd rather wait until you're available and maybe a couple more people will decide to join in the meantime.

    Odd numbers work better. try for 13

    Odd numbers work better when there's no vig/angel, because when there's one lynch and one night kill guaranteed, it means final day is an odd number. But when there's a vig/angel, well it doesn't really matter how many start, because it's likely there will be an unpredictable quantity of events that changes the endgame balance.

    13p is the standard average sized game at mafiascum though, it's the easiest to balance.

    I've created a thread in the Commune asking for at least 1 more player. If we get one more, then we can start this Monday, May 25th.

    Does anyone have a preference on where to place the in-game thread? Here or in the Commune?

    Game thread has to be in ww village. It will be annoying in the commune and increase the likelihood of randos chipping in mid game.

    We were toying with the idea of playing a game in the commune to try and get new blood. Maybe let randoms participate in some manner.
    That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

    Let randoms in the commune participate by randomly assigning the first rando with an in-game player. Some in-game players will have a rando buddy but some/many will not. The randos now have just as mich power as an in-game player but with zero specials. The rando can vote and bolded. If either the rando or their tandom dies - they both die.

    The rando cannot take part in the wolf den if paired with a wolf. The rando has no contact with anyone outside of the game.

    Could be quite funny. Easy to implement too.

    This game is looking to be a spectator's delight so far.

    @rilla: dat location! I can't help but feel conflicted. Not bad for a two-word troll.
