OT: STTF Werewolf Interest/Sign-up Thread
 

These games have been a lot of fun in the past. There has not been one in a while but for some reason I've got an itch that needs to be scratched so let's get a game going!!

For those that don't know the rules read below or check out the link to the POG FAQ for more info.


Here are the basics (taken from Durron's sticky in POG here

The Basic Rules of Werewolf

Overview:
The citizens of a small village (often named Pogglesworth, but up to the game's moderator) one morning wake up to discover that there are werewolves in their town! If something is not done, the entire village population will be eaten!

Teams:
There are two teams, werewolves and villagers. In the standard game on werewolf side there are the werewolves. They all know each other, and may communicate with each other at night (see below). On the villager side you have the villagers, the seer, and sometimes the angel or other roles (see below). The werewolves win by eliminating enough people so that they make up half of the players in the game. The villagers win by eliminating all the werewolves.

Turn Structure - The game alternates between two phases, a Day phase and a Night Phase:

* Day Phase - During the day, the village gets together to discuss and decide who might be a werewolf! Everyone votes who they think is a werewolf (votes may be changed at any time during the day). If someone gets a majority of the votes, they are lynched. Also, sometimes there is a time limit in place, in which case who ever has the most votes at the end of the day is lynched instead. Some games do not immediately end the day when a majority is reached, and instead only rely on the time limit.

* Night Phase - During the night phase, the werewolves decide who they are going to eat! They are allowed to communicate privately outside the main thread to make this decision. Normally werewolves are not allowed to communicate privately during the day. Also, anyone with a special role (such as seer or angel) gets to act during the night as well.

There's also links to the three previous STTF WW games in the POG faq.

weee im in though im having a really hard time understanding the rules. where's the Finnish FAQ?

Re: OT: STTF Werewolf Interest/Sign-up Thread
 

I played this a lot live.
Can't imagine to play over the net tho, but I'm generally interested.

Re: OT: STTF Werewolf Interest/Sign-up Thread
 

Beware: If you play, you will be addicted & play every possible game on POG for the rest of your life.

I'm in ftw, ldo.

Re: OT: STTF Werewolf Interest/Sign-up Thread
 

I should say, I don't really have an interest in being the mod, I'd rather play [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I was thinking just a regular game of WW w/a seer and maybe an angle depending on how much interest there is.

As for game length, I was thinking of leaving sign-up open through today and hopefully getting a game going tomorrow that would last Wed-Fri and maybe into Saturday but I don't have any experience in planning any of that so maybe somebody with more experience could chime in.

I think I understand the rules, but there is one concept I do not grasp: How is this fun?

Re: OT: STTF Werewolf Interest/Sign-up Thread
 

We can probably get somebody to run the game if Durron isn't around or if he wants to play. I'll check on it.

I think we should set the start date for about next Monday.

Everyone who doesn't know, it will last at least that week and probably the next depending on how many we have.

bump for nighties

Re: OT: STTF Werewolf Interest/Sign-up Thread
 

I got someone to help mod/create the game so all of us can be invested in the game, but me/j can help coordinate as well. So like I said, we'll aim for next Monday, all.

I will be running this game in POG, and will try and spice it up a little for STTF

Please keep signing up in this thread, the more the merrier

Re: OT: STTF Werewolf Interest/Sign-up Thread
 

How time consuming is this?

[/ QUOTE ]

It can be pretty time consuming, but as long as you can contribute a bit & then be around at least sometime relatively close to lynching you will be fine. There will obviously be days where people don't get to post a lot or can't be active, that happens, especially for people who aren't invested in WW.

Night will probably fall around 10 EST, so if that is going to be a continuous problem(which it may be for you, Karp), then you may want to sit this one out. The weekend generally is one long day so lynch wouldn't be until Sunday at that same time.

Karp, does it make a diff for you if night is 9 EST or 10 EST or 11 EST?

Yes, everyone thank Nez because he is going to help us out.
If you have any game related questions you can PM him or me or just ask here.

Where is Kyro, I'm sure he will play.

No, as I posted it's not going to be overly complicated, the day will run from around 9 EST to 10 EST or somewhere there abouts. You obviously need to try to be around in the hours leading up to night & if you are a wolf, you would need to help contribute a bit after that point. However, we all have lives, so we obviously take that in to account, so if you can't be around then you post earlier. If you are a wolf, it's acceptable to not be in wolf chat every night. There should be enough time throughout the day for everyone to enjoy the game, but this is an intro/friendly game so there is no worries if you can't be around at certain points.

Re: OT: STTF Werewolf Interest/Sign-up Thread
 

Cool. I'm in then. By the way, maybe this is a dumb question, but is that 9-10 PM EST?

Also... there's a mod request for my name to change but it should be approved/denied by Monday I'd guess.

Re: OT: STTF Werewolf Interest/Sign-up Thread
 

I am still not compltely sure how this works, but I am interested.

Can I be the wolf...

Re: OT: STTF Werewolf Interest/Sign-up Thread
 

I need clarification on rules

During the day all players only talk in thread, including wolves pretending to be villagers?

At night Wolves talk outside the thread to make a kill and strategize?

Re: OT: STTF Werewolf Interest/Sign-up Thread
 

During day, all players(including wolves trying to blend in), talk in the game thread. You vote throughout the course of the day(at any point), although most voting occurs at the end.
The player with the most votes is lynched & everyone finds out his role.

At night, wolves talk generally on AIM & decide who they want to night kill, send it to the mod via PM usually.

In the morning(next day), we find out who was night killed and their role.

The 1st day generally consists of random voting & people trying to pick up "wolf tells". There are often votes in jest, etc. You can change your vote at any point during the day. If you have a special role, your special actions will generally happen at night. This will be clarified in the game thread which will go up prior to the beginning of the game.

Re: OT: STTF Werewolf Interest/Sign-up Thread
 

You will know your role prior to the game beginning so you can read some additional strategy at that point. If you are the Seer or another power role, you will want to know how to play it.

Generally, don't discuss your role with anyone outside of the game(especially people who don't understand the game).

thread comprehension ftw [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

It begins next Monday. Nez is working on the game, will be posted at least by Sunday & you will be notified of your roles Sunday night. Specific hours are still being worked out.

Also, for all:
General clarifications
1)No wolfchat prior to the first day
2)NO posting after it is night, any votes after will not count
3)No PMing other players whatsoever.
