Werewolf XCVIII - 24 Day Game Over - Post 2899
Tick tick tick tick
tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick KA-BOOM! The next game of werewolf will be based upon the FOX show "24". Information on this show can be found on many different places on the Internet, but my co-moderator Barkeep49 and I have relied mainly on Wikipedia. The game is targeted to start on Monday, July 6th with a Night 0. Day 1 will begin at 9PM CST on Monday night. And now, the rules .... Source - this game is based upon the FOX TV show "24". All content is derived from personal experience watching this show, as well as research at Wikipedia.org and 24.wikia.com. This is not based off any one particular season. Instead, characters from each of hte eight seasons are represented. There is a smidge of creative writing that is solely from the collective imagination of Barkeep49 and Hoopsguy. Background: The following events take place at 5AM. The Department of Homeland Security has raised the National Threat Advisory to "Orange". But inside the offices of the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) the concern is even more grave. Rumors are flying of an imminent attack on US soil from an as yet unidentified group known only as "The Conspiracy". All levels of government are focused on learning more about this threat as quickly as possible. Breakdown: Players: 25 (not a fixed #) Evil/Werewolves: Conspiracy Good/Villagers: Government Undetermined: only the truly paranoid thinks anyone fits in this category Win Conditions: Conspiracy: achieve a 1:1 ratio with the Government Government: eliminate all members of the Conspiracy Undetermined: does anyone actually believe that these people exist? Roles: Each character is assigned the name of a character from the television show. All characters have unique abilities. The faction of the players, with the exception of Jack Bauer, is not predicated on the actions on the television show. However, it is logical to assume that the player abilities will be at least loosely associated with the capabilities demonstrated on the television show. As applied to werewolf, of course. The game begins with one public role - Jack Bauer, CTU agent extraordinaire, is loyal to the Government. All other players have private roles. It is the discretion of the players, both individually and collectively, to share any information about their role. The moderators have strived to have an appropriate risk/reward system in place for such conversations. On that note, the Conspiracy will know at least two characters that are not in the game in order to assist with fake reveals. The moderators would encourage all players to play as fast and loose with their roles as possible, in order to provide us with the most amusement. Deadlines: In a nutshell, there are not set deadlines. Instead, the deadlines will be fluid and predicated on player actions. There is not a day/night cycle, but there is a lynch that the moderators will use to mark "days" in terms of the thread title. Lynching can occur at any time in this game. For a lynch to occur the leading vote getter must have a certain % of the total player votes. The farther away from the last lynch it has been the lower the percentage that is required. It is unknown what % is needed at what time except that between 23 hours and 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds since the last lynch 40% of votes must be on the leading candidate in order for a lynch to occur. As soon as the required % is reached lynching will occur instantly, rendering invalid any votes cast after that one. Votes are cast in traditional werewolf fashion. Votes should be in bold. If there is also discussion in the voting post then the vote should be at the very bottom of the post. Unvotes are allowed and must follow the same convention - bold and at bottom of post. Player actions are predicated by the passing of time, not days in the game. For example, a player may be able to use a power every 36 hours. This information will be included in each of the role PMs sent at the beginning of the game. The contents of all PMs, including the starting PMs, may be discussed within the thread if the player sees an advantage in doing so. The order of actions will be driven by the order that actions are submitted. All actions must be submitted by PM to both moderators. We can not accept actions via e-mail or IM since we are relying on the time maintained by OperationSports (when PM arrives at Inbox) to determine the order of actions. Additional Notes: all characters begin the game with the ability to sent up to four PMs per day to anyone in the game. This is in addition to any role-specific PM abilities (Conspiracy members can PM each other freely, for example). The moderators must be included on all PMs. Players are on the honor system to not send PMs above and beyond the set limit. Please do not forward the initial role PMs when exchanging PMs with other players. The moderators will do their best to have at least one moderator around to process actions in a timely manner and will inform players if at least one moderator won't be around for an extended time. As a rule there will be no moderators present from approximately 2 AM - 6 AM CDT. Any actions or votes will be processed chronologically even if no moderator is present. Due to the unusual nature of the game no actions or votes will be accepted and all powers "paused" between 12 AM Saturday (aka Friday night) and 6 AM Monday. |

And final reserved post.

I am in like a thin Laura Flynn
|
Aww, I'm not first in anymore.
|
Is who is what character made public? In the Marvel game we knew who each character just not powers and such
|
Quote:
I'm guessing no since in that game we all had separate accounts, so it didn't matter that we knew who the characters were. |
Danny - nope, there is no start of the game match like "Danny = David Palmer". There may be reasons to disclose that info, but there may be reasons to keep it to yourself.
|
Quote:
It still mattered in that game as the wolves specifically targeted players who were likely to have telepathic based powers. Of course, in that game it would have been much less fun if we didn't know as that would have taken away the role play factor. |
Quote:
Right. Man, that was a fun game. I've forgotten who I possessed as of now, but I'm sure they haven't. ;) |
Quote:
Yeah, probably my favorite game outside of you possessing me. And no I have not and will not forget. I'm not sure I ever did get my vengeance. Perhaps in this game. |
Quote:
Which one were you? |
Quote:
Nick Fury |
Quote:
Right. Nothing personal. :D |
I'll give it a shot.
|
I love 24. And Jackal should be our resident Elisha Cuthbert poster ;)
I am in. |
Quote:
Well I mean now it's going to have to happen. |
Cuthbert is going to end up a wolf and betraying her father.
|
She already betrayed us all:
 .... sigh |
Wow, she doesn't look hot there and Sean Avery? Ugg
|
I'm sure Tyrith will have thoughts on that pic.
|
Quote:
I promise, that's the last pic I'll post of her where she doesn't look great. But Sean Avery doesn't deserve her at her hottest, and it kind of makes me feel better to see that. |
We all make mistakes; she redeemed herself by dating Phaneuf shortly after. But hopefully she's single by now.
|
With how hot girls like to date hockey players you'd think that the NHL could find some marketing in that.
|
I had to edit that one, I mistyped the whole thing horribly :)
|
Quote:
So much truth right there. |
Quote:
Actually, being possessed was really fun for me -- except for when it came down to actually trying to convince people I had been possessed. That still burns me. But my early role-playing the Scarlet Witch, and trying to figure out what her character was supposed to be like, was also fun. The time when I guaranteed our success on some colossal failure of a mission was good times. |
Oh, and in.
|
I don't think I can resist this game, I love ones with all the roles, Hoops. I'm a little worried as the one thing that gave me an ulcer about the Marvel game was the real time actions, coming in five minutes after Hulk had tried to smash me, for instance. I'm a little afraid it will give me conniptions, but if the game is based on it rather than it just being a freak thing maybe I'll be all right.
In. |
Quote:
Your situation was a bit different since you still was able to post and play, plus it was one day, not four :) |
Quote:
As the rules are posted, I think it will be clear that the real-time element is core to this game where it was an oddity in the Marvel games. Also, if someone is uncomfortable with the rules as they are posted just let me know and I can remove names from the list. I hope that people will be excited about the game, but if the game does not look like it suits them then let me know. |
I will play if you'll have me.
|
Sean Avery got Brett Hull fired, so I'd almost say he was a good thing for the Stars.
|
I am in please.
|
Quote:
With the amount of money they had to pay? No. |
Quote:
Possessing you was fun because we could actually communicate. I definitely felt bad possessing the other two - it was Danny/Nick Fury and.. who? The first one was the toughest to pick, that was definitely gonna make someone pissed. |
Ugh. Please, no one bring up possession.....
|
I am definitely in, but may be in and out a lot on day 1 and 2 as we'll be driving back to Chicago. But I would like to play if that isn't a problem.
|
In

Quote:
Yeah, but it did get confusing. I was all, "wait, is that new PM from me to you, or from you to me?" And I didn't want to read it, in case it was from me to you, and I was marking it read when you hadn't seen it yet. |
What the heck, I'll throw my hat into the ring.
|
I'd sign up but I'm busy scheming my way to the top in youth football. Camp is just two weeks away.
|
Quote:
I imagine that you would make a fine field agent if the youths could spare you. |
Wish I could but I'm out of town all next week...
|
Quote:
Bummer. If there was an interest in coming in as a replacement player upon your return I would love to slot you for that. For whatever reason, I find that my games usually need one before all is said and done. |
I will take Lerriuqs and Poli's spot in addition to mine.
|
Quote:
I probably could - I'm not back till after the 11th. |
I'll list you as an alternate, with that date in mind.
