Werewolf LVI: Beneath the Iron Cross - GAME OVER, VILLAGERS WIN!
Since Barkeep won't be pushing through with his game... I will be with mine. This is more traditional Werewolf, so new players are also welcome.
I haven't GM'd a Werewolf game since 2005. So, there ya go... that's how damn long it's been. :) I practically didn't play for a year. Heh. The rules are here: http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/...ad.php?t=58273 I will probably change the deadlines to be able to accomodate busy people. How do you feel about a 24/24 day/night cycle for the first few days? Backstory: In the 1960's, a top secret military program was started in preparation for the threat of full-scale nuclear war. A huge underground cavern was dug underneath the badlands of Death Valley, California. It was here that the United States military established its nuclear-scenario operations base, codenamed: Iron Cross. It was designed to withstand a nuclear assault on the continental United States of America, stocked with enough provisions to last over 100 years of isolation. But the war didn't come. The base, however, would remain as a vital part of the US Military. From the 70's, through the latter part of the century, the underground facility was used as an advanced medical research center. Different military projects were developed and tested in the isolated compound, primarily focusing on extraordinary abilities... the creation of super soldiers. Psychokinetics, genome alteration, and drug development were the primary points of research, and breakthroughs were achieved. Nobody knew when and where the first bomb fell. But it would spark the third world war. The scientists and soldiers who were inside the safety of the Iron Cross could only watch in horror as man set out on a path of self-extinction. Sattelites brought feeds of atomic bombs going off all around the world. Superpower against superpower, in a show of power and destruction. In the end, the world left behind by the war was a barren one. One hundred years have passed since the doors and hatches of the Iron Cross were sealed. They are about to open once again... ...but these are not your memories. These are the memories of real men that have been passed on to you. These memories implanted into your brains, along with your education, your habits, your skills, and your abilities. You are genetically bred humans, and you have risen from your stasis chambers, ready to leave the confines of the Iron Cross. This is how civilization begins anew. Sign-ups (I am aiming for about 12 players, more would be better.) 1. path12 - Fool, Killed Night 4 2. hoopsguy - Alpha Wolf, Lynched Day 3 3. saldana - Wolfling, Lynched Day 7 4.

Passacaglia - Unholy Mark, Killed by Brutal Wolf Day 2 Day 1 will be on Monday, 10:01 AM CST (or earlier, depends if my meeting pushes through. If it does, I will post this as early as possible) . Any votes cast BEFORE this time will not count. Deadline will be at Monday, 9:00 PM CST. Votes will be tallied, and Night 1 will begin... lasting until Tuesday, 10:00 AM CST. |
In.
I hope this game doesn't run through until the seventh. It would be diffucult to keep things quiet |
I'm in.
|
In.
Does this mean that I won't see you in CoH for awhile? |
in
|
24/24 makes for a very slow game at the start. Personally I prefer a 24/12.
|
In if you'll have me
|

24/12 would work too. It's still open to discussion, and we'll see depending on how everyone's schedule and availablity holds up. :) |
I'm in too.
|
In if you start on Monday, not in if you start earlier.
|
In?
|
In for sure!
|
Updated. Added backstory. This is probably going to be sweet. :)
|
Sounds awesome. Let's get some more signups and kick this bad boy off?
I'd love to at least get my role before the weekend, when I won't get on much if at all (people in town + DMB Concert = hungover). |
We're probably aiming for a Monday start date, just because everyone's so busy this week and weekend. :)
(City of Heroes stuff... lol) |

Yeah right! If I can be an alien and suck people's brains out, count me it. |
Can't start a new civilization without women...I'm in
|
IN MOTHERFUCKERS!
|
Let's get some roles out!
|
Will be accepting applications until probably Saturday. Sunday, the Alpha Wolf role will be selected, and the wolf names will be given to me by Monday morning.
What kind of schedule are you guys looking to play this on, if we start by monday? I'm thinking 24-hour days are probably going to bore you guys to death. I can go with a 9 PM Central deadline for the day actions, and a 10 AM central deadline for the night actions. If you have an idea of how you want to schedule this game, it would be helpful for me to run it as a GM. :) Or do you guys wanna start now? :D |
I'm in like the heat of sin. So count me in.
|
This will be my first non-cronin game.
|
I like the sked a lot, personally.
|
Easy, normal rules? Good.
It's been a long hiatus,and if there's room, I'll be in. |

He's on the list |
And DC's playing? Woot!
|
In if there's room, since Barkeep left me standing at the altar. ;)
|
In if there's room.
|
There's always room!
|
He was just testing my paranoia....
|
I haven't played one of these in a while. In if there's room.
|
in if room for one more crazy android wit the memories of a villager. :D
|
I can't sit out a game. I'm in.
|

|
count me in

I know what you mean....I keep telling myself I'm going to sit out a couple, but, well, here I am. |
From what I saw on the game in the other forum, jeheinz is going to be a fun first-time player.
|
Dola (think I can slip one in at this stage, right?),
Welcome back, RealDeal. |
Alright. Have you guys read the rules? Link in the original post. Updated last night.
That will basically apply for the game. Note the rules on posting votes. I really want to be strict about it. If there are any questions regarding the rules, now would be a good time to ask. Everyone good with the schedule? Saturday Night, the Alpha Wolf role will go out. He can PM me the names of the players he wants on his team. Sunday will be Day 0, the story will be told (by me. the ever-omnipotent GM. :) ). Roles will go out at Day 0. Night 0 is basically just there as buffer. Feel free to accuse who you think was randomly selected as the Alpha Wolf. :P Day 1 will be on Monday, 10:01 AM CST. Any votes cast BEFORE this time will not count. Deadline will be at 9:00 PM CST. Votes will be tallied, and Night 1 will begin... lasting until 10:00 AM CST. |

Haha, why? Because I'm a blabber-mouth? I swear I have like half the posts in that thread. I need to learn the ol' internal monologue. |
Thoughts on Rules:
- I'm excited to see the "one wolf picks other players" idea out there again. - Are all other roles determined after the wolf declares? So everyone is vanilla up to that time? Or can the alpha wolf end up plucking potential roles away from the villagers with his choices? - in general I hate the witness role - I like the fool/seer dynamic outlined here |
Quote:
Yeah, because you won't be the "two posts in six days" newcomer. You are either doing a nice job as an active wolf or whiffing badly as a villager, but either way it is a lot more fun to read along when people are actually posting. |
Quote:
The roles are determined after the wolf declares. So everyone is vanilla until the wolf declares. The fool/seer dynamic has a potential to be fun when coupled with the Unholy Mark, the Wolfshade, and the Wolfling. |
Wolf roles, outside of the Alpha - are these determined randomly?
For example, Alpha picks three wolves. Is he picking people for specific wolf slots (standard wolf, brutal wolf, cunning wolf - to use generic terms instead of game specific ones) or does he know that he is picking Player A as brutal wolf, Player B as standard wolf, etc? |

wolf roles are picked randomly, outside of alpha. alpha will not be assigned any other wolf role. |
