WEREWOLF GMS HOSTING ORDER(LIST IN FIRST POST)

[Blade6119]

There has been a growing number of people wanting to host WW games, and a fairly unorganized calling of order or just a race to post signups first. If everyone agrees someone like myself(who has no interest in hosting a game, so im unbiased) can post this. I know hoops is widely agreed upon as the next host, but after him there is some competition going on. Instead of creating a
big fight i figured we could just make a list, first come first serve from here on out. If your next on the list(the person before you is running their game right now) and no longer wish to host just notify and ill move everyone up a slot. Hope this helps clear up a murky situation somewhat, and if you all feel this is not a good option let me know that as well. Im merely trying to help. Im going to limit it to 10, as i doubt we have that many and any more then 10 is like a few months back-logged and i dont want that for this list.

Well, hope this helps clear up the murky situation. :)

[Schmidty]

If people actually call this legit (which I am skeptical of), I call spot #4.

[Blade6119]

done and done...i think we can all agree to some system..if you dont like this one suggest a better one

[Barkeep49]

I'll take spot 5, but am happy to move down if any other people who have never hosted a game want a spot.

[Blade6119]

Interesting, 2 people have signed up and spots 2-3 are still open lol

[Barkeep49]

I figured dubb wants one and ardent wants the other. I'm guessing Schmidty thought the same.

[kingfc22]

I'll go with lucky #7

[saldana]

i figure i will wait til HP is over and see how many people think i suck before deciding if i want to try again.

[path12]

I think you've done well. It may be a little big though.

[Blade6119]

updated for kings entry...i figure dubb and ardent will both sign up in the morning, and i know at least 2 others interested.

[dubb93]

I'll take 3 and let Ardent have 2.

[Blade6119]

nice gesture dubb

[SnDvls]

put me in at #6 I figure that's about April I can clean up my rule set by then

[Poli]

I'll take #2. Barkeep's helping this new guy out, so I may not be ready in time, though.

[Blade6119]

updated, we now have 1-7 full...i dont know if anyone is going to sign up in 8-10 right now, but i will keep updating this list as games go by, replacing people at the top of the list with people below them.

[Poli]

After barkeep's positive suggestions, I'm looking forward to this. I think he may be ineligible, though. :)

[Blade6119]

i know mr. w helped hoopsguy, and since is now ineligible for hoops' game

[hoopsguy]

Actually, it was Barkeep who helped me as well. And we mutually agreed he knew too much to be able to play it. Mr W (along with everyone else), please feel free to play in my game when I post the rules.

[Coder]

Aas long as you allow me to be a part of it, I don't care which order you're doing it in... I'm having an absolute blast in the harry potter one (which is my first), and even though I don't have the deep analysis compulsion as most people do, I think it's far more fun than I ever imagined it to be...

Now lets kill those death eaters!

[Schmidty]

Will we have the right to decide if someone should be barred from our particular games? If not, I withdraw my application.

Oh boy.. I'm not welcome anymore :(

[Schmidty]

Oh boy.. I'm not welcome anymore :(

Heh.

You've handled yourself extremely well.

Unfortunately for me, I'm Irish-German and I don't take shit. It bites me in the ass, but I can't help it. ;)

[Blade6119]

I would say as GM you can do whatever the hell you want and people can choose to sign up or not...if you bar someone, that is your decision...i personally would hope no one is barred(yes, i would even let my old nemesis real deal play if i did one) from any games due to drama or hurt feelings over a game, but if you feel it's extreme enough i see no reason to stop you.

[Barkeep49]

I have to say, having been privledged to look at Ardent's and Hoop's games I think everyone will really like them. It's good to see with saldana's current theme game and what hoops and ardent have planned that there still a lot of room for innovation in WW and that the game is nowhere close to having been played out.

[hoopsguy]

Barkeep, thanks for the kind words. I definitely appreciate your help in balancing the roles between the factions as well as being a sounding board for the concept as a whole. The trick over the next couple of days is to nail down a storyline that will be interesting to read. I think that is one area that was particularly fun with the games run by Coffee and Saldana.

I'm expecting that I'll list the sign-up sometime mid/late next week with the idea of kicking off Monday the 30th.

Save me a spot Hoopsy.

[dubb93]

BUMP!

Take me off the GM hosting list please. I have no desire to jump back into the game in the near future.

[Poli]

[dubb93]

Hater. :)

No, it's just a regular found his way on my ignore list. ;) Otherwise I'd probably jump back into your next game.

[Blade6119]

After a talk i just had with dubb i cant fault him. Everyone else gets bumped up a spot(since hoops is no longer next as well). I may sit the next one out too, i dont know. But i respect Dubbs decision after what i heared, so his request is my pleasure to grant

[Poli]

You should still play in mine.

To be honest, I've felt taking this game off has been rather relaxing, though I do wish I could play in my own game. :)

I'd like to know what you heard.

I know that Dubb and I are cool, since we hashed it out yesterday.

[Eaglesfan27]

I'm curious too. I didn't have any further comments or discussion with dubb other than my few posts in the game thread.

[Blade6119]

I'd like to know what you heard.

I know that Dubb and I are cool, since we hashed it out yesterday.
He had a private discussion with a player that has played past games with us in which said player was entirely classless. It was rather unflattering if you understand me. We dont need to name names, but i respect how he handled it. If i had recieved the same PMs i would have caused a huge fight.

[Blade6119]

dola, that person is still alive as well, so for their sake i wont name names

[Eaglesfan27]

Well, it wasn't me. I didn't send him any PM's.

[Peregrine]

Hmm, I see the monster I created is still rampaging around. Good luck to all the WW moderators!

[Schmidty]

That was vague. Why is everyone afraid to just say what they mean, and mean what they say?

[Poli]

I PM everyone. I call it spam. If you haven't got a PM from me, you're not in the know, you know?

Ok, I'm pretty sure it was RPI, although that was just a guess. Regardless, quitting because of one dude isn't the best decision IMO.

[Poli]

I never mentioned this to anyone but dubb, but I did get a PM from another player other than a wolf during the last game.

I just ignored it. Laughed, but ignored it, since it was from a villager. :)

ARDENT, YOU ARE OFFICIALLY ON THE CLOCK!!!!

Not sure Werewolf is the first thing he's thinking about right now. Might be a good idea to slide him down at least one notch.. though obviously we should wait to see if he has any wishes.

[hoopsguy]

Drop me back in the mix to host one whenever there is an opening. Although if my turn somehow comes up in March then I'll defer to April - no way I'm doing this while the NCAA tourney is running!

[Blade6119]

I know, i talk with him on aim quite regularly..just putting this out there for him...sometimes when im down i need i like things to take my mind off the pain. Until he says otherwise, the spot is still his.

[Poli]

Thanks guys. Give me a few days, and I'll be up and running.

[Alan T]

Thanks guys. Give me a few days, and I'll be up and running.

Is it okay for me to suggest a theme to the GMs in this thread?

[spleen1015]

Cool.

I'm not going to go through all of the games to see if it has been done, but a Star Wars theme following a light and dark jedi scenario would be cool to play in.

[saldana]

I'm next and that was my idea. Seriously.

I would honestly like to move one spot down, if at all possible, to think of something else.

if you are saying that because of me, i seriously have no problem with you doing that game...i really havent even started to write it (i am not even on the list), and actully have something else in the pipe that will probably come out first anyway.

I actually am not a huge Star Wars fa, so I feel a little insecure about running a game based on it. If someone who isn't playing wants to help me, I'd love to do it, otherwise, I think I'd like to give up my spot.

[TazFTW]

I remember in one of the early werewolf games, someone asked about a jedi/sith game. Peregrine (I think it was him) responded with a link to a game being held on another board. Might be useful if you can find the link so you can do some research on how that game was run (good things/bad things).


If we can throw out ideas, I was thinking about a game based on 24. Have it time based so that the CTU agents would have to eliminate all the terrorists before 24 hours ran out. Maybe have a day/night turn equal 2 hours so that 6 days and 6 nights would equal 24 hours (that could be too short of a time period). Instead of lynchings there would be being interrogated by Jack Bauer. Terrorists would have a mole role, maybe a Director of CTU/President role which would be like the duke.

[hoopsguy]

Taz, I've been contemplating how to run a 24 game for a couple of weeks. If you would be interested in running one I would be happy to work with you on a rule set.

And there have been a number of Star Wars/werewolf games run over at board game geeks - although none on the first page at the moment.

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geekforum.php3?action=viewforum&forumid=76

Also, for people who have thought about moderating one but are a little unsure about putting together a game, there are so many on this site that you could just sample for themes/rules. Just make sure to give proper credit if you go that route ...

[Blade6119]

So are we dropping schmidty or what?

[saldana]

i believe i am taking over his slot, but wait for final confirmation of that from him

[Schmidty]

So are we dropping schmidty or what?

I'm giving him my spot, but I don't want to drop. I'd rather just move down.

[Blade6119]

Heres the problem. Do i move you to the bottom of the list for hosting, or just down a spot on the list? Technically barkeep would take over your spot if you dropped down so im not sure how fair it is to push everyone else back and just insert saldana at 2 and drop everyone else a spot. Anyone have a fair suggestion?

[hoopsguy]

I have no problem with however you guys want it to work.

[SnDvls]

Schmidty can take my spot, I'm not sure I'll be able to host for a while.

[saldana]

just let me know, i dont want to piss anyone off by jumping the line

[SnDvls]

if schmidty takes my spot he's not jumping anyone as you are subbing for him and he is subbing for me. If I choose to get back in or find I have time I'll jump to the back of the line, no problems or regrets.

[Barkeep49]

I've said I'd prefer to let first time hosts have their game so saldana can have the slot, no problem with me as I don't have a finished rule set that I'm happy with at the moment anyway as I thought I'd have more time.

[saldana]

I've said I'd prefer to let first time hosts have their game so saldana can have the slot

first time host? i know you died the first day, but i did do that harry potter thing a couple games ago ;) must be the old age that forced you into retirement catching up.

[Barkeep49]

My apologies to saldana. I am indeed getting to be an old man.

After talking things over with him I'm going to go ahead and run my game. Rules will be forth coming as soon as I put on "paper" my idea.

[Blade6119]

My apologies to saldana. I am indeed getting to be an old man.

So put you at #1 now and saldana #2?

[Barkeep49]

Well put me at 1 and we are assuming that schmidty et al are OK with saldana as #2.

[SnDvls]

and schmidty @ #3

[Barkeep49]

I look forward to SnDvls game and asked to be put back on the list at the bottom.

[KWhit]

I'd like to be put on the list. I have an idea for a game that I think will be fun and unique.

[SirFozzie]

same here, while I'd like to jump ahead of the folks who just ran one (but willing to wait if need be), but I have a game hopefully as much fun as my last one (the X-Com game)

[Barkeep49]

So drop me below KWhit and Fozzie. If someone drops out at the last minute though I would be ready to go whenever as my next game will simply be a close variation on the last one to see how it plays out over a longer game.

[Blade6119]

done, done, and done.

Saldana, you are on the clock

[Schmidty]

By the way, I'd like to apologize to Blade - This thread is very useful and was a great idea.

[Grammaticus]

check your pm box
So, does this mean it is going to be a Star Wars theme?

[hoopsguy]

You can go ahead and bump me back behind SirFozzie and KWhit as well, since I did run one recently. Have a pretty good idea how I want my game to run, but there is no major sense of urgency to unleash it.

[SirFozzie]

Looks like I have WereWolf XXX: Grins evilly..

[hoopsguy]

Just don't make it a Vin Deisel theme :(

[tanglewood]

Looks like I have WereWolf XXX: Grins evilly..

Vin Diesel theme?

I have been working on a Blade Runner themed WW game for a few days and would like a muse with more WW expererience than myself to bounce ideas off/co-write the ruleset with a view to eventually running it here. Applications by PM. :)

[SnDvls]

I look forward to SnDvls game and asked to be put back on the list at the bottom.


thanks for the compliment. I'm not sure you were refering to my game though? :confused: I do however hope you play in it.

Sorry thought you were next. It's saldana. Darn s names :) And I like playing in different peoples games as each one has its own flavor and twists.

Sheesh, kids these days.. haven't you ever seen a XXX film that didn't star Vin Diesel or Ice Cube? you know the ones with a bow-chick-a-wow-wow for a soundtrack. With surgically enhanced lead females, and Viagra enhanced lead males?? :P

Bah. that joke fell flatter then a souflee smashed by a steamroller.

Nah.. no fun now.

Although I would have loved to see a player's face when he received his role information.

You are RON JEREMY...

Your secret power is to mack with any lady you want, no matter how much you turn off 90% of those watching your ahem, performances..

According to barkeep you actually dont. RPI repeated a number, so the current game is XXV and not XXIV...so the next game will be XXVI, and you will be XXXI :)

This is true. The things you discover doing a statistical survey of voting paterns in werewolf games.

For those looking for a fun game experience, but who don't want to devote the many hours needed to play werwolf give a look at paranoia (http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?p=1079350#post1079350).

Holy crap. I'm next up? I thought I had been moved down a few spots after giving up my spot to saldana.

I'll try to get something together, but I might need help since I've never run one of these before. If SnDvls wants to swap with me, that's fine too.

i was planning on taking the next game off after JM'ing, so PM me if you would like some help

[SnDvls]

I've been trying to get out of the rotation for a while now.

back when we did the whole switch/reshuffling. I have an idea for one, but I'm not near as creative as you all are. Also being on the west coast causes many timeframe problems ect.

[Schmidty]

Ok, thanks. I'll take all the help I can get.

The creative part won't be a problem (I think), but my organization skills suck.

[Barkeep49]

I might have to sit the next one out due to WW comments elsewhere so if you want another eyes feel free to pm me.

see post #66 & #68

yes off the list. I really don't think I have the time to GM now. If I choose to try it I'll jump in at the end of the list. thanks.

[Blade6119]

Im sorry, i must have mis-understood you...you are now off the list, so king needs to know hes on deck when schmidty starts his game

[kingfc22]

bump

[Schmidty]

Everyone's going to hate me (even more), but it might be about 3-4 days before I have my game ready. Of course, it might happen a bit sooner, but that's wishful thinking.

I'm new at doing this and want to make sure I don't screw up the rules and such.

Thanks for the update.

[Schmidty]

I'm going to post the thread today, so that we can get sign ups going.

[Blade6119]

So is schmidty starting his the day after the tourney? Just trying to set up a time table for the return of FOFC WW, as people have expressed concern over this latest push-back.

[Barkeep49]

If schmidty and king still want some more time I would still be happy to point an aspiring GM to a well balanced 9 player game that's interesting (and short).

[Schmidty]

So is schmidty starting his the day after the tourney? Just trying to set up a time table for the return of FOFC WW, as people have expressed concern over this latest push-back.

Concern? Why has no one expressed that to me?

I pushed it back because of the lack of a showing by the majority of WW players. I refuse to do mine half-assed, and only delayed it because of lack of interest and a busy time for me.

If you wish to replace me, oh master, please do.

[Schmidty]

Dola.

Blade, you didn't even sign up for my fucking game, so what do you care?

[Blade6119]

Dola.

Blade, you didn't even sign up for my fucking game, so what do you care?
Relax, im not attacking your game...i have had ww players come to me and express concerns over this WW break. A few went as far as asking me to see if king was ready to run his game. As the creator of this thread i simply put that question out there. Just becuase i didnt sign up doesnt mean i cant address other's concerns. And i was planning on signing up until you pushed it back. Relax buddy, lets keep things civil.:)

[Schmidty]

I'm sure this makes you ecstatic.

If you had even remotely contributed by signing up for my game, you would have perhaps helped this "lull", even if there weren't enough people.

As far as the people that weren't man enough to complain about their "concern" to me, I say too bad. If you people had sent me your thoughts, perhaps I would have got this moving before my now decided date. I would say more, but I won't. Crying to Blade was pretty lame.

If Barkeep wishes to get in there and start a game, I just don't care.

I will still run my game, and a "mod" like Blade will not scare me off.

And no, I am not hostile toward you Blade. I wish you well; however, at this point, I don't quite respect you. If you were to prove that you are dedicated to being more....whatever..., I would love to befriend you. I wish I were an ass-kisser, but I'm just not.

Im not trying to scare you off your game, merely asking since i never saw a set date posted. Your feelings are your own, im just trying to run this thread/system as best as possible(please everyone)...people asked, so i relayed it to this thread. For me, can you tell me what the set date is? Hopefully, this will appease everyone. If anyone cannot wait any longer, i can give you the link of a board dedicated entirely to WW with quite a large player base. Im trying to please both sides here schmidty, and if you have any suggestions for ways for me to better run this thread and please everyone, feel free to shoot me a PM. Other then that, lets drop this discussion or take it to PM. This isnt the place for it. I leave that call up to you

[Schmidty]

Im not trying to scare you off your game, merely asking since i never saw a set date posted.

Maybe you should read a little harder.

I clearly stated that I would start the game 1-2 days after the Championship game, because that was the preferred time for quite a few WW players, other than the people that "contacted" you privately.

Did you not read the thread? I wonder why?

I read the first post once, and the last post at the time saying the game had been post-poned...didnt see a need to read why. Figured it would be bumped when it was back on and i could then. *Sigh*:(

You got my PM in response to yours, lets stop posting here unless it relates to hosting.

And thank you for the date, i never saw it.

[Schmidty]

I responded via PM.

[Blade6119]

The list on page 1 has been updated with sndvls dropping out and saldana finishing his game. Everything should be current, so if anyone sees any problems let me know.

[Barkeep49]

I am in desperate need of a werewolf player for a game I am hosting on another board. The posting is far less then here, as we're on Day 3 and there are only 188 posts, many of them very short. The player has withdrawn due to computer problems. We are running on a 24/12 schedule with the deadlines being 9 PM/AM Central. We are currently in a day cycle scheduled to end at 9 PM. It is my To Crown a King Game. I would prefer someone who has never played it before, but at this point I'm in a beggars can't be choosers situation. If you're interested please PM me or post here and I'll get you the relevant details. Plus as an added bonus our very own path is playing in the game already so you'll have at least one friendly face.

The player has withdrawn due to computer problems. We are running on a 24/12 schedule with the deadlines being 9 PM/AM Central. We are currently in a day cycle scheduled to end at 9 PM. It is my To Crown a King Game. I would prefer someone who has never played it before, but at this point I'm in a beggars can't be choosers situation. If you're interested please PM me or post here and I'll get you the relevant details. Plus as an added bonus our very own path is playing in the game already so you'll have at least one friendly face.

Plus, there's chicks! Werewolf chicks!

[Barkeep49]

Thanks. Can't believe I forgot to mention the chicks.

[Blade6119]

I can if no one else newer wants to since im already signed up on that forum

You can remove my name from the hosting list. Work is going to be way too busy for the next few months for me to play - much less host.

With Schmidty's game in limbo due to the loss of his grandfather, would it make sense to at least do signups for king's game until we find out where's at? I really really want to finish, but also don't want him to feel an obligation to us in his time of need.

It all depends on how long schmidty's game is going to run. Either were a day from losing, or if converts every other night still have a few days left. Any things want to give us a hint? ;)

Seriously, its up to king...see if he sees this and comments, and if not ill shoot him a PM later

[Abe Sargent]

I just wanted to let you guys know that I would love to host a game.

I've played a ton of real life mafia, read every Werewolf game here (for the initial ideas, I didn;t read every post, obviously, because that would be herculean. I read all the way through thelast four or five, though). I already have an idea and roles chosen and written up.

I just need a more online experience before I begin, but if you want to put me in the rotation, that'd be great!

[st.cronin]

Would it make any sense to ask somebody not playing to take over for Schmidty?

[SirFozzie]

No, since Schmidty knows all the things that were planned and done since the game started.. for example if someone had a hidden role that they didn't know about

I could get my game ready to start on next Monday if needed. I'll start a new thread for signups and what not. And we'll wait and see what will happen with Schmidty's game.

[Barkeep49]

Yeah I agree that Schmidty will be back to let us know what's going on. And we're in no huge rush, but with king taking signups at least if he does decide he can't continue it gives an option. Which I hope he doesn't take :).

[st.cronin]

I have an idea for a game, so would like to be added to the queue.

Nah -- it's a different one. But maybe I can ask for some advice for the idea I'm developing here.

It would involve more or less equal teams as the Hatfield/McCoy feud. But I'm not sure how to implement that or if I would need a smaller third party (cops?) to go against the two teams to serve as the 'wolves'.

Thoughts anyone?

How about - everybody is either a Hatfield or a McCoy. Hatfields can only vote for McCoys, and McCoys can only vote for Hatfields. The anthropologists (disguised as hillbillies) win if they get out alive.

[st.cronin]

dola

And of course the hillbillies win if they get rid of all them intellectuals. All anthropologists lynched means peace between the Hatfields and McCoys.

[path12]

Interesting. There was actually a romance between one of the McCoys and Hatfields that I was going to use as a lovers role. Maybe if they find each other they could elope and gain their victory condition.....

[st.cronin]

Thinking about this some more - you could have 2 lynchs per day. The Hatfields lynch a McCoy, and the McCoys lynch a Hatfield. The anthropologists know who they are, but not who the lovers are (neither do the lovers). When both lovers are lynched, the anthropologists win (if they are still alive). When the anthropologists are killed, the hillbillies win.

When the anthropologists are killed, the hillbillies win.

So the anthropologists would be hidden in both the McCoy and Hatfield clans, right?

I like parts of this, but I wonder how much interaction there is with the McCoys lynching Hatfields and vice versa -- it doesn't seem like it would create much tension because if you were a McCoy and on the lynch list from the Hatfields how could you try and convince them that would be a bad idea?

I'm starting to think that you need a third team to serve as the wolves, whether anthropologists/deputies/spies/whatever. I recall seeing a game elsewhere that was based on Romeo and Juliet. I'm going to try and find that again and see how this similar situation (Montagues and Capulets) were dealt with.

[hoopsguy]

I'm mulling a concept for WW that I wanted to bat around, see if people would be willing to give it a shot. Basically, I would like to try and run a game that is not a slave to the traditional day/night cycles. Actions can be processed when certain conditions are met (rules would be listed for this game), whether it takes 5 minutes or 5 days to meet the criteria.

If I went this route I would probably need some help from a co-GM but I potentially think this could be a neat change of pace. But if others think this would potentially require too much commitment or worry about missing out on big chunks of game where they don't feel they have a chance to impact the game then I can shelve this idea. So, hoping for some feedback either here or by PM. Thanks.

[Blade6119]

I think it has the potential to be a massive success, IF, you get a group that is committed to posting/playing. Players who post 1-2 times a day prob. would have troubles with that set-up, as some more active players might drive scenarios while others are gone, and therefore gain an unfair advantage for whichever side. If the right players are playing, it could be great. If not, things could get ugly.

I tried this a bit w/ my time travel game w/ people voting "end day" didn't ever really catch on, but it does have the potential of sliding in favor of the more active players.

[Barkeep49]

For the hatfields and mccoys:

There are the hatfields and the mccoys. Seperately there are wolves. Maybe through in a sociologist team in there. The goal is to EITHER eradicate your enemies OR eradicate the wolves.

The trouble is, either the hatfields and mccoys know who they are, or they don't. If they do, then you end up with mass voting blocks. If they don't, then it's just random. I suppose you could set up so that each Hatfield knows ONE other hatfield, and each mccoy knows one other mccoy - or pair off hatfields and mccoys who know who the other one is. Something like that.

That's why you throw in the sociologists. So everyone knows a third of the players. Whether a player plays to win via the traditional way, villagers vs. wolves, or alternative, by knocking off the other 10 (I'm imagining 15 players as it divides into thirds and is a number we could get these days) could be interesting.

could work if roles/clans are not revealed upon death. if you know who died, it will be easy to see who voted with the dead person, and keep ganging up on that clan until there were only 2 clans left, then it would just be a question of who has more numbers

[Abe Sargent]

I'm not going to do it, because I already drew up plans for my game, but I think Total Recall would be interesting withteh Martian Resistance, the Guy Whose Name I Can't Remember Who Controls the Planets and mutations tossed in for nice benefits. You could easily be members of the Resistance with spies who are trying to take you down, etc.

I'd be interested in hosting a game. I have ideas for two games, one based on System Shock 2 that would be somewhat similar to The Thing game, and another on Reservoir Dogs.

I went back and did some research last night. I'm leaning towards something like the following:

Three factions: Hatfields, McCoys, Deputies (neutral)

Roles of other players not known, faction only revealed on death. Main victory conditions: Each clan eliminates the other clan, Deputies by achieving certain goals. Lover role on each side that will entail finding each other and making a successful escape.

Special roles and victory conditions for most players. Each player will be able to send out a certain number of PM's to other players per day. This will allow negotiation/bribes and ways to try and find out the loyalties of other players. Points will be awarded/taken away for positive/negative actions.

That's the gist of where I'm leaning right now. I've got one main problem: PM box limits. Also, it's likely to be a pretty complex game and therefore will take a while to get straight -- also may be a bit too much for a first time mod. Maybe it'll be my second game.

[Barkeep49]

I know my game's still a bit off in the future, but Hoops has mentioned a couple times to me that depending on his work schedule he might ask to switch games, so I would like to be ready in case that is true. With people seeking feedback on ideas here, I thought it would be good to get in on that action.

I am thinking of going back to the well to one of my previous games to do the first sequel and would like to know which game people would be most interested in seeing redone. Here are my 3 games and what the premise is, and what changes I would likely do.

Spawn: Sci-Fi theme. Ship is stuck on planet. Very complex. Notable features include everyone having a public and private role, each with their own powers and abilities, with some private roles unknown to the players, or only revealed over time. Original game was designed to be run with 20+ people. New game, would likely be fixed at between 12-14. Away missions would play a larger role.

To Crown a King: Basic premise is that there are competing "human" factions in addition to the wolf faction. The least complex of my games. You are rewarded based on how "well" you vote, so if you vote for a wolf, and no one listens, you are still closer to victory. I have since run this game on another board with some significant changes, for instance wolves now get points as well, and have some really solid refinements on that as well as there was a good deal of interest among those players in doing another version.

Treasure Hunt: I feel this game didn't get a fair shot last time. In this game in addition to trying to find wolves, people also try and find gold. There is a map you can move around and buy items and services. For the new game there would be a new map and new items, but the rule set would be almost identical otherwise.

If you have a preference let me know, if you don't care, I wouldn't mind hearing that too. If you would rather see a new theme, as I have a couple of ideas around that as well, I'd be happy to hear that.

[path12]

I wasn't in the Spawn game, but played in both the other ones. I'd sign up for any of them, but I have to say that I thought Treasure Hunt was one of the more interesting themes I've ever played in and would love to give that one another go someday......

[hoopsguy]

I loved the spawn game, but would be happy giving the Treasure Hunt game another run as well since the last one was a little anti-climactic down the stretch.

[Tyrith]

I didn't play in any of these games, and I know I'm new to WW, but from reading through the past games, I really think the Spawn game was interesting and looked entertaining -- it was complex, but the complexity was understandable and it didn't involve anything too off the wall.

[Blade6119]

Updated through Hoops' game running right now, meaning BK is on deck(which i know he knows already)

[Barkeep49]

I do indeed know that I am up next, but wish I wasn't having to follow up Hoops' incredible game.

[Chubby]

I have an idea for a WW game based on the Resident Evil universe with 3 teams: STARS, Umbrella, and zombies. I don't knof if i'd be able to do it by myself with my limited WW exp so if anyone is looking to cohost one keep me in mind :)

[Alan T]

I'm interested in running a game I think too. Had a few ideas in my head, one based on LotR, one based loosely off of Romeo and Juliet, however I think path's game is really similar to what I wanted to do there, so doubt I would do that.

I think what I would like to run is a Wild West WW. Horse thiefs, gun duels, corrupted town sheriffs and the like. Basic idea would be a peaceful mining town that recently has heard talk of two rival gangs move in to try to take over the town. The Citizens of the town win if they remove all of the gang members. Each of the gangs win if they remove their rival gang and take control of the town through various means.

Unless people think that would be a horrible game, I would like to be added to the list too :)

If I can't trade up, I will almost certainly have to trade down.

[Lathum]

If I may add my humble 2 cents I think it may be a good idea to alternate "complicated" game models and more traditional game models. It may attract some new players and allow other players who may not be able to dedicate alot of time to playing.

Not trying to tell anyone how to run their game, I just think the keep it simple motto should factor in at some point.

[Alan T]

Well I have been trying to work out a LotR one for a while now. Its basically my favorite series of books ever. The best idea I have come up with for a LotR theme was based in the town of Bree when the hobbits first get there. You can have the henchmen (such as Bill Ferney), the Arnorian rangers (such as Strider/Aragorn and his men), as well as local town folks like Barliman the barkeep.

The writings leave you to be able to add in Wizards, Nazguls or who knows what too. I think a game such as this would be more complex to get it to not be dull or boring. I'll run with a Wild West theme for the game I'm running next, so if someone wants to go with a LotR theme I can give you my notes and insights via PM if you want. I've read probably about 20-25 Tolkien's writings so know it fairly well :)

[saldana]

If I were to write this game, I'd go slightly off script and make all of the characters Maia (like Gandalf, Saruman, Pallando, Radagast and Alatar). In the books, all but Gandalf fall, showing that the Sauron can exert influnce even over these powerful cretaures. Then it'd be Sauron's followers against the Maia.

[Chief Rum]

I'm relatively new to the WW phenomenon, but I think I have a fun idea for a game, and would like to be added to the list to give it a shot. When it gets down to it, I may need a co-GM if my work schedule doesn't work for me, but if I have some knowledge of when I would be hosting a game, I should be able to work around it pretty good.

Anyway, my idea is based in the 19th century London of Sherlock Holmes, Jack the Ripper and Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde.

[st.cronin]

I have gotten used to dying early in WW games. The way I cope is I play a little minigame after I die. I try to follow along as if I was still in and see how close or far I am from my guesses on who I would vote for and who i wouldnt :)

Sometimes its quite fun! Especially if I have someone else to play along with via PM. One game Vince and I would PM back and forth with our guesses to who we thought were good/bad and why. And during the lynch we would try to figure out if we thought they were a good choice or not. :)

By the looks of the current game we've got a few days to go -- since I'm out from the 20th through October 6th I think I'm going to have to request to be bumped down a spot and then will be able to run the next game starting after 10/6.

[path12]

OK, I know I'm all over the place with this, but since this game ended a bit earlier than I anticipated, I think if we start on Monday we can probably get my game in on time -- I'll keep my spot in line and start signups late tonight/tomorrow morning for a Monday day 1.

[Alan T]

I haven't seen mckerney in a game for a while. Mck you still planning on running yours? I'm actually going to chile for 10 days at the end of this month (Sep 29) so I think my turn to host won't be till after I get back.

Updated

[Mustang]

Blade, if you could, add me to the list of people that want to run one.

I'll have plenty of time to hash out what I want to do. :)

[Blade6119]

Updated, and were back to a full list of 10. I also sent Mckerney a PM, which i think ill do for all on-deckers from now on.

[Abe Sargent]

I have worked out the plot for my WW which will be based in Middle-Earth and I'm very happy with the basic idea. If someone between me and th enext WW game is going to do a ME WW game, would you please let me know now, before I hash it out? Thanks!

[Abe Sargent]

WW XXXIII is over so whenever McKerney is ready.....

[Blade6119]

WW XXXIII is over so whenever McKerney is ready.....

I have sent him 2 PMs recently, 1 today, and have yet to hear back. If i dont hear back by friday i will bump him.

I am next on the list after mckerney and my game is ready, but I leave the country for 10 days on the 28th, so if Mckerney doesn't respond #3 on the list will need to go. I'm ready for when I return though.

[Barkeep49]

#3 on the list? Why damn that would be me. I am so glad I have off tomorrow. I will try and pump out a set of rules as I want to avoid doing another sequel, though I do have a rule set for To Crown a King, pretty much ready.

[mckerney]

I apologize for holding things up a bit, but I'm not going to be able to host a WW game right now. Not sure when my schedule will allow it, so it's best to just take me off the list.

[Abe Sargent]

Sorry ta hear that.

[Barkeep49]

I'm sorry to hear that as well. Ok I guess that puts me on the clock. Damn. I will get to work tonight coming up with a game.

[Blade6119]

Barkeep, if you want more time i know there are others on the list ready to go. Your on the clock, so its your call.

I've debated, since I do have a week long vacation the second week in October, but by then mckerny and/or alan t would likely be ready to go so the timing would, in many ways, be worse. So I think I'm going to keep the spot, despite it's unexpected early arrival.

I come back october 8th, and my game is ready any time. But I am pretty flexible, so can move back a little more if its inconvienant for you Barkeep..

Maybe right now is a good time for someone who's willing to run a basic/simple game since those are good from time to time to mix in. Then you can go after that game Barkeep? I can go after you're done Barkeep.

[st.cronin]

I have a simple game ready, similiar to my last, but with some of the "problems" solved. Ready anytime.

[hoopsguy]

My upcoming game is definitely not simple, but hopefully has a high "fun" factor that will entice people to play despite a medium/challenging rule set.

dont misunderstand my comments from the end of the animal farm game...i am not saying that the recent round of games has not been fun. nor am i saying that we shouldnt have various rulesets and various difficulty level. my point was that i think we have fallen into a bit of a one-upsmanship situation, where everyone is trying to make their game somehow better than the ones before it, and in doing so, have overcomplicated things to the point that the games are becoming frustrating at points instead of fun the entire time.

my ego would like to think that i ran two games that people enjoyed quite a bit, and the Harry Potter game was one of the most simple games we have ever had...all i was saying is that we dont have to reinvent the wheel every two weeks when a new game starts, not that i thought we should make people change their signatures to their role for the duration of the game to make it easy...a challenging task is great fun...an insurmountable task can become more of a burden than fun.

[Barkeep49]

saldana: I haven't read your commentary but I don't think I disagree with you. I think Spawn 2 was far too complex, actually, and have been glad we've had some simpler games as they have had some excellent role play.

[hoopsguy]

Saldana, I didn't take it in that way at all. I was just mentioning that if we are looking for a "simple game" (know you love that phrase) to bump up the list that I know the one I've been working on does not fit that bill.

I think that there is plenty of room for creativity in the format. The more complex, or less defined rule sets, are probably not as easy to pick up for newer players. So I completely agree with the idea that we should ideally run a mixture of game types.

Personally, I don't think there is an element of one-upsmanship as much as each person having a vision of what they want their game to deliver. I have aspects of the game that I find to be the most fun, so I will likely incorporate that kind of logic into my games. I try to run a game that I think I would have a blast playing, and hope that others feel that way at the end.

my .02-

[Abe Sargent]

I personally like complex games, although my next game won't be as complex. Here's what I'm thinking of doing:

Set in Bree in Middle Earth. Four factions, two on each side. Light has Rangers and Townsfolk. Dark has servants of Saruman and Sauron. Each faction has its own winning conditions, and it is possible for both good factions to win under the right conditions, but not both evil factions, since both evil factions are vying for power.

Outside of that element, the roles will be relatively standard with only a few bells and whistles tossed in for fun.

I think the idea of four factions, two on each side would be interesting to see in gameplay, and I haven't seen it yet since I started playing around ten games ago or so.

-Anxiety

[hoopsguy]

Anxiety, I know that Dubb had planned to do a multi-faction game as well at one point, but never did.

I'm planning on doing a Marvel comics theme, very loosely based on the "Twelve" storyline. While that was strictly an X-Men game, this would be open for any Marvel hero or villain. Players select their character, I then assign a series of "powers" for each of the characters that may or may not match up with conventional werewolf roles. In this format everyone has a unique role; hopefully many players get someone they already have an attachment to from reading comics.

That is actually a bit similar to the Bree game I had tossed around on here a bit before. I kept running into an issue where I had like 6 different winning conditions for people and it almost became like Free for All Werewolf.. :)

I'm looking forward to your game as J.R.R Tolkien is my all time favorite setting for literature and something I've probably read more on than anything else we've had WW about. :)

[hoopsguy]

Agreed on Tolkien being a natural setting for these games. I would say Middle Earth and the Matrix universe, are two themes that I have been waiting to see happen.

[Barkeep49]

I actually considered doing a star trek theme for my game but decided it wouldn't be popular enough for me to do.

i have tossed the matrix idea around but never really done much as far as development..i already have my next theme, plus the horizion still has the impending collaboration between myself and dubb for harry potter 2....although i havent seen dubb around at all lately.

I think Star Trek would be a great theme.

someone needs to have the grand poopbah sticky this

[Alan T]

I'm leaving for south america tommorrow, I'm sad I won't be able to see how Barkeep's game progresses till much later, its looking like a very fun game.

I'll be back on the 8th, and my game is all set to go if Barkeep's is done by then. I'm hoping everyone will enjoy it, I've tried my best to create a game that remains fairly basic as far as what players have to do, while trying to incorperate as many people as possible in the game. Even the vanilla roles won't be vanilla... I've spent alot of time hopefully to give every player some form of personality, and actually create a village for the setting.

See you all when I'm back on the 8th :)

[saldana]

I think Star Trek would be a great theme.

again, something i have thought about as a huge Trekkor, but i could never figure out how to do to the bad guys...none of the federations enemies look enough like them that they could hide amongst a group of them.................................................................except for maybe the romulans..........................................*scratches head as game begins to take shape in puny little mind*

I think the key to something like this is to have Q doing it for his amusement. Once you have that in place the doors open wider as to what is possible.
