    Event Werewolf Signup Thread - Freeroll Opportunity - Newbies Welcome

    I will be moderating a unique FTR Werewolf Match during the month of August in which all participants (who prove to be active within the game thread) will be invited to a $100 Freeroll on Carbon Poker. New players are welcome and this will be a great opportunity to compete alongside some of our veteran Villagers & Wolves in a friendly environment with the added incentive of a freeroll tournament.



    Carbon Poker is part of the Merge Gaming Network and is available internationally as well as in the United States. If you have not yet signed up for an account with Carbon, you can receive a 200% up to $5,000 Initial Deposit Bonus when registering upon entering the Coupon Code CARBONPK

    Q: I'm new to the game. What is gameplay like?
    A: Read this How to play Werewolf page (external link). You should also consult our most recent Werewolf: To The Edge in-game thread, which was moderated by a500lbgorilla.

    Q: Are there any restrictions on who can join?
    A: There are two: (1) You must be willing to participate actively throughout the match, and (2) You must have a registered FlopTurnRiver account with a sign-up date no later than August 6, 2014, 11:59pm Eastern Time.

    Q: When will the freeroll be held? How does it work?
    A: The freeroll will be held after the game ends. Passwords will be sent out privately to all participants (regardless of which team wins). Hypothetically, if there are 20 players who actively participate in the FTR Werewolf Match, the $100 freeroll would represent a $5 break-even Expected Value for each player.

    Q: I may not be able to actively participate in the thread. Can I still play?
    A: WARNING! Do not sign up if you have any scheduling conflicts or doubts about being able to drive the game with post activity! One of the main purposes of holding this unique match is to give newer members an opportunity to gain exposure to these types of contests while not having to be entirely familiar with with some of the more advanced tactics/unwritten guidelines used in the veteran-filled regular games. A single inactive member can completely spoil a good game depending on roles, so being inactive will be highly frowned upon and will result in freeroll password denial for non-contributors.

    Q: Which roles will be employed in this FTR Freeroll version of Werewolf?
    A: Roles [TBA] will likely be similar to the To The Edge match moderated by a500lbgorilla with alternating ODD/EVEN nighttime capabilities for "Specials."

    Q: I am wufwugy. I am the best Werewolf player on FTR. Will you allow me to play and pwn these noobs' souls?
    A: Absolutely. Any veteran member is encouraged to play. This thread is a way to notify you in advance that this will be a "n00b-friendly" match--and a courteous heads-up in case you won't enjoy such a contest.

    Q: I just saw this thread and see that the match has already begun. Can I jump in?
    A: Unfortunately, no... unless a substitution is required later on in the game. However, we may run similar matches in the future.

    Q: You'll suck as a moderator, Huber. You've only played Werewolf once online and we lynched your n00b-ass on Day 2. Why don't you ask around and see if someone more qualified is willing to run the show?
    A: Good idea. I am nominating myself because I will maintain an open line of communication with newer participants, provide detailed explanations of roles, vet low post-count members beforehand, and politely answer general questions. If you or someone you know would like to take over the moderation duties for this match under those conditions, then by all means...

    Q: I am a veteran FTR Villager/Werewolf. Will you listen to my suggestions on how to make this match as entertaining/balanced as possible?
    A: Yes, of course. Please reply in this thread.

    Q: Hey Huber, how do I obtain the passwords to FTR's exclusive Freeroll and Money Added events?
    A: See our Qualified Member Status thread authored by jyms. Our approval policy is based more on long-term contributions rather than generic monthly post count tallies. The reasoning behind our philosophy is clearly outlined in that post by Jim and I agree wholeheartedly with his sentiment. The Qualified Member stipulation will not apply to this single freeroll opportunity.

    Q: When will this game begin?
    A: The start date (tentative) is Thursday, August 14th.

    Q: I've read over the FAQs, will be active throughout the duration of this 2-to-6 week match and want to sign up. How do I join?
    A: Reply in this thread letting us know that you're IN.

    Seriously though, great idea

    7th August sounds good. I'll play.

    Can I give my entry to the freeroll (if I get it) to a friend who plays on Carbon though? Saves me the effort of making an account to win an amount I probably couldn't withdraw in the first place.

    I love poker, and from what I've read this game seems bad-ass. Can't wait.

    Damn, I want to play again but I'll be on the road part of the time without a reliable internet connection. Oh well, hopefully I can get in on the next one.

    I'd prefer you sign up for a Carbon account through us and play your way up to an amount that can be cashed out.

    We can discuss this possibility towards the end of the game, but in general I'd like to ensure that the only people participating in the freeroll are those who played in this match.

    Look how active I am. I don't need to be in a free roll though. I'm cool with just winning the game, just like I won last game as the vig

    Yeah I get that, I wasn't really expecting a yes but no harm in asking.

    well at least we post content when we sign up rather than a meaningless cat gif.

    I predict this will turn into a large zoo of invisible people when they realize the amount of work required to earn a ticket for a freeroll. These freetrollers never fail to prove they want something for nothing

    I probably should have been clearer that I'm looking to avoid total inactives in lieu of discouraging players to sign up if they're not able to be a huge contributor throughout. That would obviously be ideal, but it's not realistic given that everyone has activities to tend to outside of constantly posting. Mainly what I'm looking to avoid is a scenario in which a player loses interest or is consistently inactive for some other reason. I'd like to have you, rilla, and anyone else IN If you're going to enjoy the match and stay at least reasonably updated with what's going on each cycle.

    To new players: The Werewolf game can be VERY reading-intensive. At its most entertaining, all players are regularly chiming in with opinions, insight, and maintaining an updated idea of who's posting what. It's probably not a huge deal if you're going to be out of pocket for a couple of days... that can happen to any poster within a 2-6 week time frame and can be amended if you're going to stay interested/post at a reasonable frequency during the times you're available.

    Currently we have 10 signed-up for August 7 begin date... 9 veterans and one new member (GrayFoxxxx). I've sent a PM to CredsFan03, cali61 and boysingh to gauge interest. I think if we can get ~20 players with 4-5 newer players that would be optimal.

    I've moved the "New Account" requirement to August 6 in hopes of getting a couple of new members on board. Newer members who have recently signed are up welcome in this match, as are all veterans.

    The August 7th start date is a go.

    Hi scourrge, nice to see you here in the Werewolf sign-up thread. I'll be sending out a message to the email you used when registering for a FlopTurnRiver account with a few questions. This email is to allow you an opportunity to ask questions about the game and how it plays out here on FTR. I look forward to hearing back from you!

    I've just spoken to scourrge. Unfortunately he has some things to take care of and won't be able to commit this time around, but hopefully he'll be able to participate in a future match.
  34. #34
    Hey guys work is really busy at the moment, I'm not going to be able to play with the limited time I have.
  35. #35
    I'm going to have to sit this one out too sorry about that. Two projects running to a close at work.
  36. #36
    Currently we're at 10 signups. Is this typically enough to play out an entertaining Werewolf game or do we need closer to 15? I've sent PMs to 30+ past game participants to see if we could get some more vets registered.

    It's unfortunate new member scourrge isn't going to be playing this time around. Judging from his most recent post, he'd be an excellent addition to any Werewolf game he has time to compete in.
  37. #37
    it's not enough, especially with newbs. i may have to sit this game out as well, but i dont know yet
  38. #38
    Ideally we want at least three wolves. For that we want 13 or more really. imo it's better to wait until we enough than to start a smaller game just to meet a deadline. Two wolf games just don't seem as fun.

    Yeah, agree with you guys. We'll set back the start date to August 14 to see if we can get more players in the mix by then.

    in for a game starting after the 14th, depending on travel plans vs start time i might be afk the first 24-48hrs of gameplay though.

    I just happen to randomly login to FTR after a long absence, and I see a werewolf signup! I'd love to play, but I am working too much right now, and there is no way to commit to that. I hope to have some time free up a little once the little ones start school again. Would kinda like to start playing poker again also, but again, time, and I've spent my old bankroll after cashing out from PokerStars when I could easily play as an american there...

    Anyways. Have fun guys, I'll check back in again.
    Hey knucklehead! Bonk!

    Wow, this is an interesting list of names. Some I haven't seen in 3 or 4 years. I'd be surprised to see many of these people even use the same email they did when they registered to get PM notifications.

    I've specifically submitted an interview request for Liv Boeree to Stars' media reps (inspired by your posts in WSOP Fantasy Thread). It's too bad we can't talk her into a n00b-friendly game of WW.

    Aw man a Liv Boeree AMA thread would be great. I already know what I'll ask her... I know someone who claims that Liv was at his wedding, but I think he's full of shit. I never dreamed I'd actually be able to find out for real. Also, I'd probably want to know what kind of underwear she likes to wear.
