    Default Werewolf Championship Season 2 - You're Invited to Participate!

    Hi guys

    So as some of you probably know baudib1 reached out to me and asked if you guys could be represented in season 2 of the Werewolf Championships. To those who don't know what I'm talking about: In 2013-2014 I hosted a championship series featuring 100+ of the very best werewolf players from 45+ different communities who competed against each other. The best of the best advanced to the finale game where an ultimate winner was crowned.

    It's now time for season 2 and I hope you guys are still interested in being represented.

    It's completely up to you how you go about choosing your representative. I would only ask that you make sure that the person will be able to read and post a lot more than they're probably used to. It won't be quite as insane as the first season, seeing as it will just be 13-player games this time, but it will still require a great deal of activity.




    Here's the info:

    The current plan for season 2

    • 65 different communities will be represented.
    • 1 player per community for the entire season (preferably).
    • 5 qualifying games will be played with 13 players each.
    • 2 players advance to the finale from each game based on post-game votes.
    • 3 additional players are granted wildcard spots.

    Game setup

    The game will have a very basic mafia setup: 3 mafia members, 9 vanilla townies and 1 cop. The cop starts the game with a random vanilla townie peek. Roles revealed upon death.

    Some communities are not very used to playing basic setups like this, but for the first season, we utilized a setup with a good share of power roles, so this time around we are trying something new. For season 3 we will switch it up again.

    Days will last 36 hours and nights 12 hours, meaning 48 hours (2 days) per game day. With one exception: The weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) will be one game day (so day will be 60 hours and night 12 hours on weekends). This means the game will last a maximum of 2 weeks.

    Timeline

    The first game is set to start April 6th. The other four games will take place in the 1-3 months after that. I will make a Doodle and find out the best times to start the 5 games so that preferably everyone gets to play during a time that suits them well.

    In addition to this, it is also a priority to ensure as much as possible that all the players in any given game has no prior history of playing with each other to ensure a level playing field (but I cannot 100 % guarantee that this won’t happen).

    My nominations, in no particular order:
    gabe
    JKDS
    rong
    daven
    Luco
    ong
    keybored
    Gator
    (keith removed)

    I might be missing one or more whom I'd fully endorse.
    I'd probably add others if I had played more games with them: monstrman and lilrascal both tough choices.

    No offense to anyone off the list. I don't belong on the list, either, so nothing personal.

    Can we send one person then we all talk in private about our game reads? I'd love to be a soul read advisor

    You cannot help your representative once the game has started :P

    baudib is who I think we should send. When it comes to activity, it's between me and baudib, and I can't be bothered, not at this time anyway. I don't see anyone else putting in the hours.

    It might well be lingering ill-feelings over his insults in last game that kept him off my list.

    ***
    If I look for high activity, that looks like: rilla, baud, key, Wuf, MMM, (Ong)

    I doubt rilla wants to do this, but he'd be my top choice if he was interested.
    This is his forum, after all, and his activity last game was in the top 3.

    baudib is a good choice. He just pissed me off last game. If I ignore the personal grief, then he has redic high activity and his passion is through the roof. Additionally, I think his head is really in the game lately (even when he says it wont be). He tends to be hungry for the win.

    key is a good choice, if he wants to play. Key is relatively new to the game, but has a wolf win and has shown remarkable cleverness in choosing when to make fake peeks / outs.


    Wuf :/ I mean: Do we need to fire shots at PoG? ( jk wuf)

    I don't have any record of a winning endgame (and some pretty big fails).

    ***
    I can support the baudib nomination. Does he want to do it?

    Fwiw I'll be sending out a Doodle, so if you'd prefer playing in May for example, that could be arranged.

    It's definitely worth asking again in May. I'm taking a bit of a break at the moment, but I enjoy playing a lot and it's a matter of time before my interest is back.

    As for baudib's performance last game, I have to take some of the blame for that. Yes he was confrontational and somewhat annoying, but he was a villager who relentlessly had his back against the wall thanks to me, so maybe it shouldn't be a surprise. baudib is human, just like the rest of us. Sure he was annoying last game, but he's not annoying every game. I don't hold any grudges. keith annoyed me last game too, and I probably annoyed the shit out of baudib. It's not a big deal.

    Are there any actual volunteers? :P

    The representative wouldn't have to play in the April 6th game for example, but my hope is that I can still get the names of all the representatives by April and then send out a Doodle in order to schedule all the games and have it all set to go.
  13. #13
    we're not a post-heavy forum, and we don't get new blood at the rate that vets get worn out.

    ong and baud are the only players who can keep their post count up. both are great players. i chalk up ong's bleh from last game to the no night phases which turns all villagers batty.

    back in the day me rong and rilla were post-heavy too, but not anymore. i think i would have killed it three years ago, but not anymore.

    JKDS, Luco or Gabe should do it if Ong can't.

    The worst that could happen is you get raped by a horse. Wait, I though of something even worse but it's so bad I'm not saying it.

    rilla gets my vote too.

    rilla you've always been one of our best players. you know how to play a strong village game that impresses people. you also know how to wolf even though the last several times you did it you gave up. i think the trick to wolfing as you is applying your village approach where you trip up wolves on bad logic/behavior to villagers. villagers love doing stupid shit, even more than wolves. villagers get caught wolfing all the time.

    Would I be right to assume that a500lbgorilla is your official representative?

    I am confident that rilla will represent FTR well. I think baudib would also be a good choice.

    I look forward to following the games.

    Having someone represent the site who openly refuses to wolf well is a bad idea but IDGAF.

    i suspect rilla has psyched himself out wolfing because of ftr meta. he knows we know him, so if he feels he cant play to our expectations, he doesn't do so hot.

    that wouldnt be a problem on a different forum, where aint nobody knows how he is. the types of strengths we should promote to represent us are (1): ability to banter, (2) sophisticated and tricky tactics, (3) ability to get people to like you. i dont know who i think best fits this bill. i think im strong on (1) and (2), but weak on (3). besides im not volunteering for this. jkds is probably the strongest on (2), but baud and ong have figured some of that out too. baud and ong are also strong on (1), but like me not so hot at (3). i feel like none of these describe gabe well. he's not obviously anything other than obviously good.

    it appears nobody else expressed interest in this thing. gabe probably doesnt want to do it because of postcount. baud doesnt want to do it because he burned himself out. ong is ong and may or may not want to do it at some point that may or may not be in the near or distant future. if rilla is game, he's a great choice
  33. #33
    that said, i suspect the hyper heavy post counts in those games would fit baud and ong much more. i disagree that lots of posts to try to flesh things out is valuable, but it appears that's how non-ftr games run
  34. #34
    IDK, I think POGGERS are hugely post-count heavy, I don't think other forums are as active.

  35. #35
    POG is post heavy in a lot of their games, but not so much in vanilla games which is what this will be. Also, POG will only have 1 representative, do it shouldn't be driven by POG standards for posting. POG is just hosting

    the person who wants to do it the most should do it. many regs are easily qualified enough to get the job done

    I just need the representative's name sometime before April 1st. Let me know when your decision is finalized
  39. #39
    Both rilla and baudib are excellent choices. I think rilla would be a superb wolf against those who aren't super familiar with his villager game, so I'm unconcerned about him repping us as a wolf. baudib has in his favour his activity levels... rilla won't touch him when it comes to that. If we expect the game to be large, we should send baudib. If we expect it to be small or slow, then rilla is the better option imo.

    Is Rilla going to be representing FTR? I didn't see where he said he would.

    I know I'm new here, but I'm willing to step up and represent FTR in the tourney. Assuming Rilla or other regulars aren't interested.
    I may grow old, but I refuse to grow up.

    you should do it then. rilla probably doesnt actually want to.

    As I said, I'm willing to do it, but I'm newer here and don't want to step on anyone's toes.
    I may grow old, but I refuse to grow up.

    naw you wouldn't be stepping on anybody's toes. if it came to that we would vote on who to send.

    i wonder if these championships get players to visit other forums. we do have one very unique thing to offer ww players: our games are hyper meta with all the same tight group of regs.
