Werewolf II

Seeing that there is quite a bit of overflow of people wanting to play from the original werewolf thread, and seeing that they've gone through an 8 hour stall for some reason, I'd like to open up this thread to see who would be up for another round after thats finished. Just to get this out of the way: It will not start until the first werewolf is finished.

Rather than do first-come first-serve, I'm going to let anyone who wants to play have a chance and sign up, and then pick 15 names (3/1/1/10) at random to play. I believe that this would work a little better for those who didn't see the sign up page until it was too late. Also I may have a bit more free time than does rilla to coordinate everything.

Also, there seems to be a bit of confusion about the rules, so I'll if there are any questions/suggestions about it I should be able to help out.

Can you play both season 1 and 2?

Yes you may

season 1 is a little slow
will there be more killing in season 2?

I believe the moderator in season 1 is out somewhere because they are waiting on him.

Also, anyone who's interested in playing, please put in boldface "I'm in for wolf II" or something so I can quickly search for the names when I pick the roles

i am

What the heck is a werewolf thread?

I will play if you rename the game to "Gangstas"
4 gangstas, 10 civilians, 1 snitch, and 1 Tupac
I also think all communication between the participating players should take place in this thread
it wouldn't be much fun if the gangstas coordinated everything through PM, it would take too long for the civilians to figure out who they are

Possesed

the wolves are outnumberd 5:1 and the villagers get someone who can tell a person's true identity (seer). The game is actually quite balanced as it is (with a very slight lean to the villigers if they're smart).

the balance you suggested is fine, I just want you to rename the roles from

villagers-civilians
werewolves-gangstas
seer- snitch
angel- Tupac

just keep it real, you know what I sayin' my nigga

sign me up for GANGSTAS

i would like to play

Im in for Gangstaz Biatch

I'm in for wolf II

Im in for either Werewolf or Gangstas

I also wanna be a gangsta

Yes possessed, you are too 'REAL' for me.

Since I'm English and am around at funny times to you Americans, I'll help mod this one if you like Hawklet.

I don't care what you call it: "I'm in for wolf/gangstas II"

Ill Play

Seeing as I'm almost dead in the first, sign me up for the second

I would like to suggest a minor variation to the rules of gangstas (or wolf 2 if you insist)- instead of being able to pm each other whenever they please, the gangstas should only be able to pm each other on the first night. What this rule would entail is, past the first night, the gangstas would have to come up with a way to communicate their intentions through this thread without being detected by villagers. What do you think hawklet?

I actually like this idea a lot. Assuming there isn't too much opposition, I think we'll do it

As of now we have

1. midaso6
2. flomo
3. PO$$E$$ED
4. nutsinho
5. Black Panther
6. Lukie
7. Rabid Dog
8. Greedoo17
9. bluey
10. Sarahhhh
11. Phew72
12. Pelion
13. courtiebee

Keep in mind: It isn't first-come first-server, when the first Werewolf ends the new crew (15 total) will be picked randomly out of the people who signed up here.

Also, is anyone not sure how the game works? Do we need a write up of the rules somewhere?

I should be on this list becuase i am cool

also, only 15? what does that break down to?

At the moment it's 3/1/1/10.

3 wolves
1 seer
1 angel
10 villagers

I think possessed's idea (wolves can only privately meet in the first night) makes it almost perfectly balanced.

That'll make it next to impossible to come to an agreement between the wolves. Becuase if a debate does rage on, the back and forth would garner so much attention that it would really expose them all.

this is fun, sign me up for this one too

i agree with rilla

i also like his setup much better, jmho.

I don't think that there would be too much of a fight among wolves. They get to talk privately on the first night (before the villagers have reason to be suspicous), and they can plan out a game play (i.e. go straight for the seer or try to weed out the thinkers) and make some sort of way of communicating in public without people knowing that they're wolves.

Or something less time consuming/obvious like "post immediately after the person who you want to kill" or "accuse the person of being a wolf who you actually want to kill".

Oh sorry for not answering you before, I got side-tracked.

I can probably cover from 12PM EST to 3 AM EST.
I don't imagine that there should be too much action between then (I believe that most of the players so far are from NA).
As long as there isn't a major time zone issue, one mod should be enough to cover everything. Thanks for the offer though.

You're still welcome to play so long as you are able to keep up with the action.

Yup that's fine buddy, I'll be a player.

As of now, the pool is:

1. midaso6
2. flomo
3. PO$$E$$ED
4. nutsinho
5. Black Panther
6. Lukie
7. Rabid Dog
8. Greedoo17
9. bluey
10. Sarahhhh
11. Phew72
12. Pelion
13. courtiebee
14. EasyT
15. Dwarfman
16. 'rilla

Let more play

It's still open.

I meant more people in the game, rather than 15

I'm going to have to bail, sorry. The game looks like fun, but my son's got 3 high school track meets comming up pretty close together because of rainouts, so my times probably going to be real limited. Sorry, please either lynch me now or just remove me from the list. Thanks

K no problem

Hmm there are two possible characters that could be added (one for each side):

Werewolves : Alpha Wolf which appears innocent if checked on by seer

Villagers: Vigilante who at night, if he wishes, may kill one person on his own.

Having these favors the wolves, so I would go with 21 players, 2 wolves, 1 Alpha, 1 seer, 1 angel, 1 vigilante, 18 villagers.

the more killing per day the better

Kill! Kill! Faster! Faster!

(lets start this now)

(no, that would be retarded)

COUNT ME IN!!!!

(the other game isn't moving)

(its cuz they used 25 people instead of 15 like they should have)

get this going now.
At least we can be sure of quicker killings here bcoz teh others suck

Ill simply lock this thread becuase if we get 2 going, what's to stop a 3rd for those not in 1 2 or 3. etc etc. One at a time, plz.

FlopTurnWerewolf. Jeez.
Sign me up.

Could it work the same with 2 seers, 2 angels, 8 ww, 28 villagers, two rendings, two lynchings, angels and seers communicate as teams, too?

That won't work. Seers tell angels who the wolves are. Angels say "person X is a wolf". Angels protect themselves.

The two of everything idea is too hard for everyone because you can't keep track of everyone. So much better when you can track every person.

No - 2 seers talk, 2 angels talk, 8 ww talk. But it does seem too large. The WW1 thread is balky, with some sitting out (hmmm, werewolves?) or taking a long time with the first day (perhaps, as someone said earlier, because we're all a bunch of poker players.)

Yes that seems to be the idea. Hawklet, you should keep this under 20 people (so 4/1/1/14 max) and retain the rule that gangstas can converse privately only on the first night. This makes for a fast-paced game, as the night phases will stay short because the gangstas won't be PMing each other back and forth arguing about who to kill. If the gangstas are competent, they should have no problem planning everything out the first night. For example, they could assign a set of numbers/codewords to each non-gangsta. Or they could come up with a hit list in advance. Or they could have a leader who gives out all the orders. Even if the gangstas fuck up and vote to kill different people at night, whoever got the majority of their votes would still get offed.
I agree that the no-PM rule makes it harder for the gangstas to operate, but that is what being gangsta is all about, you know what I sayin'? DA FEDS BE BRINGIN' DOWN HEAT, DA LINES BE TAPPED AND EVERY STRANGE NIGGA BE UNDERCOVER, BUT YOU GOTS TO KEEP ROLLIN', GOTTA KEEP DAT TRIGGA FINGA ITCHY, NIGGAS GOT TO DO WAT A NIGGA GOT TO DO, THUGLIFE4EVER

Possesseds rule is gay and wouldnt work. just use same rules as the first one, 20 ppl 4 wolf 1 seer 1 angel 14 villies

Also make it so only people who arnt in the first one can play and start this one now. otherwise we should scrap the whole idea as the first will take a month

Why wouldn't possessed's rule work?

Like Rilla said it would ruin the game as it would be too obv and ppl would just over anaylse ever post and take too long for werewolfs to work it out and the games not supposed to be played that way. Also its just gay and pointless

I'm in.

Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta.

I'll play if there's room, it looks like there's not though.

I'm just making a pool of players and then picking 15 out of random. I think there are like 18 people in the pool right now.

this thread has 69 replies

kill kill kill
lynch lynch lynch

69 cool

ooooh.. Fnord's playing. Cool.

Maybe - it's random. He might not get picked. And then he will have terrible flashbacks of 2nd grade recess when no one wanted him on their kickball team and made him be the umpire instead.

I want in too.

Count me in

This Werewolf thing is more popular than the Gauntlet.

Lurkers are making accounts just to play Werewolf.
