Werewolf LXXIX - The Labyrinth (Game Over - Commoners Win!)
Mid-day move deadline at 3 PM EST.
Lynch deadline at 10 PM EST. No lynch is allowed. Nightfall is not allowed. Tie conditions known only to me. CONCEPT: The Ancients, some of the first beings of this world, have created a massive labyrinth with which to entertain themselves. They have plucked creatures from all over the world to participate in their game. The Ancients will make up the wolves, and will not know the layout of the labyrinth. However, they will have special powers. They will alternate kills at night. Only creatures in the same section as the Ancient performing the kill can be targeted, and they will be informed of their choices. The commoners will make up the rest of the characters. You may be a human, a dinosaur, or some sort of exotic creature. Each type of commoner will have certain abilities. The catch: Minotaur - Known as the 'Hammer of the Ancients' by the massive weapon he wields and those that created him, the Minotaur has been placed in this labyrinth and considers its defense a holy honor. He starts in the center of the labyrinth and if he runs into any players, there is a strong chance they will immediately die. The Minotaur cannot be lynched or night-killed. The only way it can be killed is if it meets an Ancient in the labyrinth, whence a mighty battle will ensue. If a commoner finds the center of the labyrinth, the game ends and the commoners win. |

LOL - that was my first thought too. In for sure. Sounds sweet. |
Not fair! Every time I tell myself I'm going to take a WW break, another game with an awesome theme comes around. AND someone else claimed David Bowie before I could! Um, can I be a Spider from Mars?

That is exactly what I am thinking right now too, heh. |

Very bummed I'm not going to be able to be in this one (I'm out of town Weds-Sunday).
Probably for the best, as I should solidify my rules for Werewolf LXXX: Tiddlywinks (you think I jest). So all of you people thinking of taking a break better hope you get killed early in Jackals game, as no one will want to miss Tiddlywinks. |
I'm in.
|
I'll be on vacation also... this sounds like fun
|
No Lathum and No Ketchup Porn??? And I'm the only girl signed up so far???
At least pass is here to give me shit, harass me and annoy the crap out of me, otherwise it wouldn't seem like a ww game! ;) |
I'm in.
|
Sign me up.
|
Quote:
With haikus, correct? Because what is Tiddlywinks Without restrained speech? Jackal, I regret that my work again impedes werewolf involvement. |
In, if you'll have the world's worst wolf!

you missed me sayign i was in at the top of the page :) |
Quote:
Not really true, I more scanned you as a lack of better options |
I am in.
|
Debating.
|
Sign me up. August recess, here I come!
|
I'm in.
|
I would like in if it isn't too late
|
I'll join up, too.
|
Wish I could, but too close to the wedding
|
signups closed, or can I still get in on this game?
|
Quote:
I think you guys are all in, based on the above. |
Yep people feel free to jump in - we're at 16 now, would love to get to 20 but anything works. Roles won't go out until Monday morning so I'll close signups at Midnight on Sunday so I know how many people are playing.
|
Here's what the schedule will be:
Day 0 - starts Monday when all the roles are out, one movement deadline at 10 PM. Day 1 - starts Tuesday and begins the regular schedule of 3 PM and 10 PM movements, as well as the first 10 PM lynch. |
Snagged a limited internet connection, may not be back around until tomorrow night, I'll get the full ruleset up then.
|
On
|
Or In, as the case may be
|
abe's gonna play?!?! rock on!
|
Well, after being up since 7 AM and with over five hours of driving and the withdrawal of two people (which I understand), I'm going to postpone this till Tuesday, just removing day 0. Hopefully some of the non-weekend crew will want to latch on, but I can probably make it work with 15. I'll be designing it tomorrow and roles will be out by tomorrow evening, so if you still want in just post in the thread.
|
wait... does this mean Im gonna have to do work today? :(
|
Quote:
Instead of working you can find more people to play. ;) |
I'll play. :)
|
yay
|
I know there's 1-2 more people that want to play. :)
|
Would if I could but I can't so I won't.
|
Quote:
Quit getting my hopes up and provide the thread with ketchup porn instead |
Quote:
Hey now, this thread/game has to *earn* the ketchup porn first. I don't throw that kind of serious business around all willy nilly ya know |
you can count me in but I will probably be pretty quiet
|
Vote Lathum
He's too quiet. |
Quote:
Lahtum, you're so manly. So this game hasn't started yet? Looking forward to reading along. |
I was going to edit my Lathum post to correctly spell his user name when I realized it was far too apropos for me to change it. ;)
|
Quote:
Get back to work on your tiddlywinks. |
Hasnt quite started, still working on it/hoping one or two more sign up in the middle of the night ;)
|
Finishing up roles and I imagine theyll be sent out by 9 AM.
|
good news, bad news!
good news is I did all my work yesterday! so I have lots of time to devote to WW, bad news is I wanna live, so Im gonn abe quiet :) |
Please don't start until I say that all roles are out.
|
Each of you are here for your own various purposes, or perhaps you've simply been thrown into the fire. In the middle of the desert, inbetween two glorious mountains that touch the sky rests your destination. A labyrinth crafted from onyx stone. Walls fifty feet high.
As you step inside of the labyrinth a giant piece of stone slides shut behind you, sealing you within. Press forwards, you must. A deep and bellowing laugh echoes throughout. "Why, HELLO, my little fools. Welcome to MY little game. The Ancients thought they were just going to have some fun, hm? Not anymore. You're locked in too, you blathering old idiots. And now you'll have to kill every single last one of these contestants before I let you out. Oh, and as for the rest of you, if by some stroke of impossible luck you manage to find the center, I'll let you out instead." Silence for a few moments. "My name, dear Patriarch? Oh, you can just call me the Jester." |
Silence is interrupted once more.
"Just in case you were curious, I've changed all of your appearances. You'll all look the same to each other. Enjoy!" |
I havent gotte na PM :(
|
Note: I have not gotten a PM yet.
But I wanted to go ahead and ask - if I understand it right, everyone except the Minotaur just walked in the same door together - right? |
I dont think so....
|
Quote:
Hmm... I can see how this could be interpreted that we all walked inside at different locations I guess. |
Another interesting note:
Quote:
It looks like the Ancients/wolves have to kill all of the contestants/villagers instead of reaching an x:x ratio. Perhaps if the minotaur is gone then they would win on a normal x:x ratio? |
Roles are in the process of being sent out, each one takes a personal touch.
You all entered the labyrinth at different locations. |
::Waits nervously for a 'personal touch' from The Jackal::
|
Quote:
The answers to this will be made clear as the game progresses, based on what happens. There is no final answer yet. |
Narcizo, I see you reading - why didn't you play??
|
I'm only really free on Mondays and Tuesdays.
I nearly did anyway. |
Ok, got my PM. FWIW, I'm a contestant.
|
how does one move about the labarynth?
|
I have no indication of my location or surroundings.
I'd guess we have to PM where we want to move? |
Three left.
|
For your first movement at 3 PM you all get the same choice - forwards. Everyone sees the same thing, a straight, dark passage, and moving down it will take up your first movement phase. After that you will be given choices on where to move for each phase.
|
All roles sent out. Begin! PM me with any questions, or ask in the thread.
|
Quote:
Gotchya, that clears that up. |
cheking in as a vilegar :)
|
this game is going to hurt my head i have a feeling.
got my PM - haven't checked it yet, as per my usual M.O. |
Will put this in the first post too -
No lynch is allowed. Nightfall is not allowed. Tie conditions known only to me. |
VOTE LATHUM
nahhh...jk - that never gets me anywhere good. random D1 vote (subject to change) and because he's a crafty player who I haven't played with in a while - VOTE NTNDEACON |
chesapeake played good last game; let's see what happens with this:
VOTE chesapeake |
Checking in. And FYI, I am VERY busy with work today so I won't be around much.

:+1: at least till after work - oh wait, and then i'm going out drinking with a friend, since "she" decided to show back up in my life and I need a couple stiff drinks. but i'll try to make time to make sure i didn't cast a stupid vote on NTN |
I assume then, since we all have the same D1 move, we don't need to submit one at 3pm.
|
Correct, PF. Everyone will move on their own. But if you have other abilities, you need to PM those in.
|
Time for a meeting at work - I'll be back around lunchtime.
|
what happens if 2 people end up in the same square? what if one is a baddie?
I assume if you end upnear the minotaur you die...... |
Quote:
"What happens if two people end up in the same place? Guess you'll just have to wait and find out! You trust everyone, right?" The Jester's voice fades away with laughter. |
"I've got a peanut here, who wants it?"
|
ill take the peanut!
|
claphamsa makes his intentions clear before anyone else can respond. In a flash of light the Jester appears before him, his form shimmering in the air. Upon his face he wears a mask made of so many colors and items it hurts to think about it.
"Here you go!" He drops the peanut at claphamsa's feet and disappears. |
claphamsa picks up the peanut and studies it. He seems to decide its fine and pops it in his mouth.
Seconds later he falls to his knees in pain and a stream of walnuts fly out of his pants. "GET IT?" The Jester unleashes a chorus of high-pitched laughter and fades away once more. |
u are a very deistubed individual!
|
And the deadlines are EST, correct?
|
Quote:
Quite right. |
Okay then. I guess I'm moving forwards into this place.
|
I guess now's a bad time to admit to being afraid of the dark.
|
Checking in, will be around in awhile.
|
Checking in, Moving forward with the same as everyone at 3pm obviously. I'l be in and out till i get to work then I'll be on most of the night.
|
Clap, are you feeling alright or are you still a bit nutty?
|
Do we have rules anywhere beyond what is in post 1? I'm always a little leary of very complex games with no rules.
