View Full Version : WW Role Reversal: Game Over!
Danny
07-22-2010, 09:17 PM
Ok, it's either now or never for my big game idea.
The premise for the game is that during an FOFC werewolf players get together, a freak happening occurs and real and fictional worlds collide!
Most of us want to return things to normal, but there are a select few who wish to not only keep things the way they are, but rule this new world (wolves). Each player in the game commands a real/fictional character or collection of characters.
Basically individual characters have attack points, defense points and special abilities (very similar to hoops marvel game); characters will differ greatly in strength; however some people may command many more characters.
Attacks will happen at select deadlines as opposed to real time (allowing people who may not be able to in all to be active. Each character a person controls must be killed in order for that player to die.
So lets say for example one person control Hulk and one person controls the Lord of the Rings Hobbits. Hulk will be have attack points, defense points and special abilities for his player and each LOTR hobbit will have attack, defense points and potentially special abilities for his owner. The hobbits will be killed easier either by day attacks or by night attacks, but all 4 hobbits will have to be killed in order for that player to be eliminated.
Game will start August 2nd.
Please post signups and character requests as soon as possible, so that I can begin balancing things.
What I need from you is the fictional characters you want and then we can work on making sure it will work.
I will be going through things and adding rules over the next week.

Rules
Each night all of the roles get mixed up and a random player gets each particular role. EVERY role is available to both villagers and wolves. If a player gets killed while they have a given role, that role is removed from the game.
Day and night Deadline is 10pm eastern
Ties: In the event of two players having an equal amount of votes at the end of the day, an unknown mechanic will be applied to determine who is the lynch choice.
No Lynch is not an option, someone will always be lynched
Sides
Villagers: Win by eliminating all of the werewolves from the group.
Werewolves: Win by achieving a 1-1 ratio with the group members.
Roles
Seer: If a villager may scan a player to determine if they are a werewolf. If a wolf may scan a player for what role they have for the upcoming day
Bodyguard: If a villager may protect one player from a night kill. The same player MAY be protected on consecutive nights.
If a wolf, may prevent player they are guarding from a taking a night action.
Duke: May change the lynch result and their vote decides ties. May only be used once.
Brutal: May take a person with them when killed
Cunning: If a villager, will have a 50% chance of surviving night kill. If a wolf, will scan as a villager.
Double Voter: Your vote will count double for this day, but you also will have one extra vote against you
Notes
Game write ups may have added flavor to them, but these are in no way hints or revealing of game or player information.
There is to be no quoting of private messages.

07-23-2010, 12:13 PM
Welcome! More along the lines of Heroscape I think.
CrimsonFox
07-23-2010, 12:19 PM
Ah yes! Forgot about Heroscape! I thought Talisman just because it had like a million different characters you can pick from each with different stats/abilities but that game didn't have much gameplay
Danny
07-23-2010, 04:09 PM
Yeah, I bought and played Talisman once and traded it away. It was fun for 60 minutes and then the game went on for another hour or two. The game is too light for the amount of time it takes. I've only played with my heroscape stuff once so far, but it's a fun game and plays pretty quickly once it's set up. I need to hurry up and have kids so I can play with them.

Heh - I had asked the moderator about balance before I threw it out there. I had a couple of other options if that one was going to be problematic.
In all seriousness, I've probably just put a bigger bullseye on myself than normal taking a character that will be feared.

Danny

Guys keep in mind, you can be multiple characters. So for example, Hoops is stuck at one character because he is playing Sauron, but I'd have no problem giving Lathum another character or two to go with Roland. If someone wanted to, they could probably get the entire team of ninja turtles, or something along those lines. Heck, it's possible for someone to take the 12 angry men, though they would each be pretty weak.
Danny
07-30-2010, 04:56 AM
I added some selected characters to the signup list. Also, anybody in red font is maxed out on their characters due to their power, but anyone not in red I am willing to work with and give them additional characters if they'd like.
Danny
07-30-2010, 05:06 AM
Also, if you are not sure or do not have the time, you can send me a list of a couple universes you like and I'll give you your character(s) based on that.

Okay, I leave Wed afternoon, arrive there. Then I have dinner, hit my hotel, and such. I don;t have a laptop that works anymore. No Internet then. Thursday is Interview at CSU. That night I have to stay as well (boo!)
Then I get back Friday at noonish.
So, I miss from Wed afternoon to Friday afternoon - two full days. No internet, no late light only, nothing.
So, it doesn;t look like I'll be able to play this game. Sad face.

The seer is clearly deluded, and all the rest of that information is circumstantial at best.

I actually thinking about postponing this game and just going with a more simple WW game. I'm not sure how well my plans will work for 13 players. Thoughts?
Autumn
08-01-2010, 09:15 AM
I think you should go with your gut. It would be a bummer to postpone it, but there just hasn't been a lot of activity here. Even in the games we've managed to run I've felt like people were less active. So might not be the best time to use an intense rule set. I almost didn't run Survivor for that reason. I'll be gone 'til tomorrow night, so if something does start off before I'm home, that's why I'm not around.

Everyone's probably still boggled at Hoopsguy's horrible vote.
Anyone played ina game of rotating roles like this before? Is there a strategy that makes sense playing off of that? It seems mostly an advantage for us since we can have the seer reveal their finding every day without fear of being taken out. That's a good deal The downside is simply that some days we may not have a village scan?
DaddyTorgo
08-04-2010, 08:56 AM
Wolves can always fake-reveal someone as a wolf if they get the seer. They could also try to 1:1 and get the seer knocked out of the game early if they luck into getting that role early.
That's one lil wrinkle I thought of just now.
I'm also a villager. Perhaps that declaration will save me from the ire of Hoops.
My work schedule has gotten crazy in the last week so I don't expect to be on much until after 6 EST.

Autumn
08-04-2010, 09:23 AM
Looking back at the way the roles work for wolves i don't see any particular way we can out them through that. The wolf bodyguard is the only one that works in a public way different than the villager version. But I think we'd have to be pretty lucky to glean anything from that.
So I think it's mostly just straight up WW, perhaps with more seer reveals than normal. I'm now going to figure out some rationale for a day one vote that I can live with.
Autumn
08-04-2010, 09:25 AM
All right lately it seems there have been a lot of no-votes, no-shows, quiet players in the WW games. My day one rationale is going ot be to vote for anyone that doesn't show up. If everyone shows up, I'll probably vote for anyone who is really quiet and doesn't contribute to the conversation. Failing that I'll have to scramble for something new. I will probably not vote for Mr. Bug day one. I don't think I've ever played with him, and I don't like to vote off someone who hasn't been playing a lot lately day one.

I'm just hoping for a more conversational game of werewolf than we've had the last couple of times that I've played. If that does not materialize, then I'm going to play a somewhat whimsical game that helps bring me some enjoyment.
Not sure my whimsy has brought Autumn enjoyment so far, but those are the breaks.

I was not clear on that, but the duke will only be able to be used once. However, I have added that the duke will decide ties, so even after the lynch power is used, there will be some advantage to the duke.
Autumn
08-04-2010, 12:55 PM
Ah, so duke will just be a race to see who uses it first. Which given our duking history probably won't go well. Having the ability to decide ties will still be of use though.
As of the moment I'll be voting Schmidty or NTN. If both of them show up I will probably chose one of the traditionally quieter players (which includes both of them). I know that's always a bone of contention, but I just hate to get stuck later in the game with people who haven't put many thoughts down in words.

I'm sure I'll get flak just for putting any thoughts out there, NTN, that's always what happens. But I made clear what my criteria was. Now that you've checked in my vote will go to Schmidty, until the point at which he checks in. I'd rather vote out someone not playing than someone that is.
We can have these discussions all day, every day 1 vote or non-vote is wolfish somehow or other.

We didnt keep score. It was a tiny turnout (3-3). The score was probably around 20 for each team

The duke dynamic is interesting and I agree with whoever said it'll basically be a race to see who uses it first. My money would be that it'll be used today or, at the latest, tomorrow, but remember, that usually goes poorly for us.
PurdueBrad
08-04-2010, 02:39 PM
A bit of revision to my above thoughts (and this would work much better if the wolves don't read it so stop reading now please...thank you):
There may be some use in getting the duke part out of play because we know that a wolf would use it given the opportunity. I know it's like throwing darts at a dart board but is there value in getting the ability to duke out of the game just to keep it out of wolf hands? Depending on timing, it could be a massive game-changer if the wolves had the ability to use it midpoint or later. But I guess at the same point, a bad duke that late probably points to our next lynch so I may be wrong.
Kind of thinking aloud with that, kind of hoping to at least generate some discussion about it. So, thoughts?
Autumn
08-04-2010, 02:42 PM
I think you hit it at the end, PB. If a duke uses the ability they might be able to save a wolf, but only by putting themselves in the targets. In addition, having the ability to break ties is a big deal for the wolves too. So I would *not* recommend a villager just use it to use it up. We've seen how that goes.
Lathum
08-04-2010, 02:45 PM
Could this work...
The duke outs them self today, asap.
Then what we do is we keep two votes, we all vote for the duke, then we all put in a second, "unofficial" vote for who we want and the duke switches to that person, who would be the actual day 1 vote leader.
PurdueBrad
08-04-2010, 02:45 PM

PurdueBrad
08-04-2010, 02:47 PM
Lathum, see where you are going. So basically we still preserve our vote, we just let the duke do the dirty work and get that power out of the game. It still gives us vote history as well. My gut reaction is that it makes sense but I do want to think about it.
Autumn
08-04-2010, 03:13 PM
Seems like a pretty solid idea, Lathum. I was worried that the doublevoter might throw it off, but i guess it wouldn't. The question is can we get that together. Seems a simple enough plan, but you know how it is.
Lathum
08-04-2010, 03:14 PM
I see no reason we coiuldn't get it together. Only one or two people have voted so that shouldn't have to big an effect on things.
If we all vote for the duke it their votes wont matter and if they don't return we can use their official vote towards the duke selection.
Autumn
08-04-2010, 03:19 PM
I'm not sure what your last sentence means, Lathum.
The problem I see with getting it together is when the duke shows up to reveal. If other people are gone by that point it might not work.
I should be around enough to participate either way though, so I'll wait and see.

Lathum

the problem with that Lathum is what if the duke is a wolf today?
Well what is the problem?
If no one reveals duke today we can assume the duke was a wolf. If the duke is a wolf and goes against our wishes they are committing suicide.
Does anyone see any downside to the duke revealing?
Also, if the duke of the day goes rogue and uses the power just to use it I will not only assume they were a wolf, but that the leading vote getter was a wolf as well.

I like Lathum's idea, but we do need the duke to reveal.
One other thought is, if the duke doesn't reveal, then we might be better off pushing for a tie then.
If we assume the duke is a wolf (because there is no duke reveal), then we can use the tiebreaker to rule out half of the players as being the duke-wolf. That wouldn't mean that they aren't wolves of other sorts, of course, but at least we have a starting point to nab our first wolf.
Chief Rum
08-04-2010, 03:47 PM

The wolves may want to keep the duke in the game, since they can use him, too (even as just the tiebreaker). Also, as then the only cleared individual in the game, the duke would almost certainly be protected by the BG tonight.
So, no, I don't think the wolves would kill the duke tonight. They are much more likely to kill the cleared person tomorrow night, when they are no longer the duke.
Of course, with no limit on protecting the same person, if we do not have any better candidates, the BG might just go back to protecting the former duke.

Idle speculation re: the duke being a wolf though. That isn't the case.

Something doesn't fit though.
If the Duke is outted and he is a wolf and complies with our wishes, will we know if the Duke was a wolf/villager? What happens if we "unofficially" pick another wolf, it would be a bigger suicide by moving off what we pick since that would almost assuredly mean they were two wolves.
If the Duke is outed and is a villager, we still have the other vote for someone else. That someone else isn't going to go down without much of a plea. They would almost be forced to try and vote against the Duke, since the Duke would almost assuredly vote for what the rest of the villagers want, if for nothing more then self preservation.
And that doesn't touch on the fact that if the wolf is the bodyguard, the Duke is screwed even further.

It doesn't matter if the duke is a wolf or villager. The goal is get the ability out of the game D1 without screwing someone to bad. Otherwise we run the risk of the role falling into wolves hands later in the game and really screwing us.

If you have a better strategy I am more than willing to hear it, however, I am of the opinion that if there is a plan that helps the village and someone is against it then they are against it for a reason. Especially on D1 with all things being equal.
And no one is giving orders, people can make any choice they want, that is their right. It is also the right of anyone to be suspicious of another player for any reason, legitimate or not.

You're putting things in my mouth I have not said. Thanks for that. I didn't even read it through really. Doesn't matter to me what it says. Everytime someone says "This is my plan. Every follow it now! It's the best plan ever" it never works. Why? Everyone makes up their own mind about what the best way to catch a wolf is. And since it's a game everyone puts their vote where they want. With that being the case every time it is attempted to "organize" something like that, it is unhelpful to say "well so and so didn't follow my plan and is therefore a wolf." <------This is what I'm saying and have repeated in , oh, about 4 games of werewolf before.

I find it interesting you haven't read the proposed plan, yet claim it won't work. If you think the best way to catch a wolf D1 is with a blind uneducated vote that's fine, I would rather have some sort of plan that can help us down the road.

Well this is a problem I hadn't anticipated. It seems most everyone has voted, but most people are "forgetting" to vote for an actual candidate. Does everyone understand that they're still supposed to vote their normal vote as well? We still need to have an actual voting record or we've just wasted day one.
Since Schmidty has checked in I feel free to move my vote, since we have way too much spread (and obviously I'm not a fan of the leading candidate). I'm not quite sure where I'm going to move it yet. I'm still not a fan of Schmidty's style here, showing up and adding nothing to the conversation. If he's a wolf then on day 6 we come back and have absolutely nothing to judge him on (or if he's a villager). CF seems to be throwing a monkey wrench in a fairly solid plan everyone is following for no good reason. DV just strikes me as off with his out of the blue vote on J23. Hoops I don't have any real suspicion on yet, and I feel he's too useful as a villager to just off for no reason.

The reason why logical plans don't work is because people choose to not go along with them, using the logic that someone always messes it up, in turn being the one themselves to mess it up.

I'm just saying - if everyone was like "oooh Hoopsguy is my vote" but I had some "tell" I noticed in Hoops' play that let me know he wasn't a wolf...I wouldn't blindly follow along and lynch a villager.

It shouldn't be. The whole point of this is to still have a voting history, in order to do that we need a vote from as many people as possible with you duking to the candidate the majority chooses, thus recreating D1 as accurately as possible while removing the duke from the game.

No, no, the whole point is that you have to vote, like a normal day. And that you only duke the person who wins the vote. So it's a regular voting day. If you're a wolf you don't get to pull any stunts, if you're a villager you don't pull any boneheaded moves. If you just duke as usual the whole thing is wasted.

That may be a lame reason to vote CF, PurdueBrad, but what reason is there to vote me? Because Hoops voted me? That's pretty much all that's happened against me, and he only voted me because I didn't check in and say "I'm a villager."

I went along with this plan with my eyes wide open in terms of how the duke (DT had revealed) may choose to play it. They have the power, and it is tough to cede that over to the majority, no matter how well conceived the plan might be.
DT, I would just ask that you strongly consider the majority vote in your order and that if you deviate from it that it not be a post-deadline surprise. I don't see any upside for you doing that as a villager, and would see pretty considerable downside.
I would also ask the seer to put in a conditional order, with the provision being that if DT does not duke to the majority that he is the scan choice. If he does duke to the majority then scan whoever was your original target.
I think that at least puts some pressure on a potential "wolf duke" ... no idea if we have that scenario here, just trying to think up some kind of appropriate counter-measures if the duke goes rogue.

Hmmm - I see I guess. Guess I don't see the point in my making an unofficial vote on the person who's going to be duked to and then duking to them. If I disagreed with the majority then I would duke to someone else. But if I agree with the majority then why make the unofficial vote and then duke to them? Seems...redundant.
But if you're getting all wrapped up in it:

Yep, just typed them.
Keep in mind, I've never had a "real" duke role so that probably colors my thinking just a little bit. I try not to let that impact me, but I'm dying to get to use the duke just one time in a werewolf game :) Alas, it isn't going to be this one.
Always the duke-ie, never the duke :rant:

You are my vote by default based on what is out there. I don't want to risk a tie, I want to pressure DT into having to follow through with our plan, and I really don't like the reasoning for voting CF, that leaves you as my default. And Hoops and Lathum voting you actually made me consider not voting you because I count them as incredibly dangerous wolves (and great villagers but either of them as wolves always scares me).
Autumn
08-04-2010, 08:42 PM
Well I urged you to stick to the vote, DT, but now I"m reconsidering.
Why are you voting me, DT? It seems I have four votes, and only one of them has given even a trace of a reason. What have I done that's suspicious?
CrimsonFox blew in here and refused to go along with a really useful village plan. Isn't that more suspicious than checking in without saying "I'm a villager," which I might add I never do in any game?
hoopsguy
08-04-2010, 08:43 PM
Autumn, if you do end up getting whacked as a villager on day 1 for something as silly as my initial vote then that really sucks and I'm sorry. I certainly did not push for a bandwagon - was just having some fun last night before going to bed.
In all seriousness, I've got some minor wolf vibes early with you trying to downplay the vote and now sweating it a bit when it looks like you might get caught. I'm feeling this enough to not change my "unofficial vote" at this stage in the day.

If you were duke on D1 would you switch the vote to the person you voted just for the hell of it?

That makes zero sense, PB. You would have made it 3-2 CF, and then DT would have to go along with that and it would be 4-2 CF. So how about you switch over to him, and DT will Duke to him and we'll all be happy?

I'm confused about what has you confused. But let's just table this one - I get the feeling we're both on the same side and just miscommunicating past each other.

I think at this stage if Autumn was a wolf he would have fake revealed to cast a shadow of a doubt if nothing else.

Yeah I downplayed it because it was the first vote in the game, early on day one. That's nothing. Now I'm going to get lynched, with only half the people in the game even voting. Aren't the people not participating in a day one vote more suspicious than someone who's been participating all day?
I get it. Next time I'll freak out when someone throws a silly vote at me early on day one. That's the villager play.

I'm sorry, but voting for CF for questioning the groups plan is insane to me because a wolf would go along with the plan rather than draw that kind of attention. I feel comfortable where I am in comparison to that reasoning. I do know that I could've put CF into the lead but I don't agree he belongs there for the reasons given.

It would be a really solid wolf play to do just that to get people to think along the lines you are thinking and a move he is capable of making.

If we're tied, I guess it is in your hands. I would still prefer to see you go for one of the leading vote-getters so we have some vote history.

hoopsguy

DT, you get to make a call regardless of how the vote shakes out.
But if it is tied then the duke vote breaks the tie if you do nothing. So it wouldn't really be tied.
As far as your vote, do you really think Autumn is the right candidate today or were you just trying to remove the pressure on your duke action? I would like to know in terms of evaluating voting records for later in the game.
Autumn
08-04-2010, 08:54 PM
You guys drive me crazy. Thanks for the vote *hah* of confidence, Lathum. Though honestly I'm not sure a fake reveal would help a wolf in this game. DT, I'm hoping that you duke elsewhere. I'm not a roled player right now, so I can't say I'm a worse lynch than duking randomly. But CF has been on the hot seat and would have revealed if he was a role.
Autumn

His play later this afternoon has given me increased confidence that he's the right candidate.

I really have nothing much else to add other then DT seems pretty fishy for wanting to suddenly reserve the right to switch. I understand it, just odd that he decided this so late in the game day.

No one is saying anything of the sort, anyone could have been the duke and been in your position, it isn't anything personal towards you.
If you weren't going to be 100% on board then you shouldn't have revealed and just let today be an ordinary day 1, but this 180 and second guessing you are doing now stinks to high hell.

you just seem to zero in on me in WW games lately and feel like I'm wolfy no matter what I do, even when I'm not a wolf. So I guess I should expect it. And maybe it's a compliment.
But it's a bit irritating I must admit. Makes me want to post less and be more thoughtful with my posts, rather than just "stream of consciousness" style, which tends to be how I play best. You're cramping my style.

You have spent the last hour discussing the possible ways you can use your ability and claiming if you don't like the majority candidate you reserve the right to go your own direction, which wasn't what was discussed earlier.

Everyone decides DaddyTorgo should decide the lynch with his duke ability, but who shall be the one to die? Sauron? Jason Worthing? Boba Fett? Ooops wrong game
No, he decides it shall be Autumn!
Autumn is killed, he was a wolf! Autumn had no current ability and thus all abilities are still currently in the game.

i mentioned that in one fucking post and you jumped on it and have been beating it to death, forcing me to talk about it.
