WW 109 - Hungry for Gold (Game Over, Wolves Win, Team USA Wins)
 

The rules will continue to be posted throughout the next 24 hours or so. Based on a conversation today in the last game thread I thought that it would be fun to give everyone PM rights of some sort.

The game will be a relatively standard game of WW but with an additional twist.

It will take place at the olympics. The players will be divided into teams. Each day will have a competition and the players will have options of how to play the competition. Results of the competition will be randomly determined but the odds will be based upon the chioces made by the teams. In addition to the competitions, nomal werewolf mechanics will be in place and there will be a lynch and a night kill.

There will be two sets of winners. The wolves vs. village winners and the team winners.

The roles and alignment of a player will not determine their team. A team may have no wolves, one wolf or even more.

Teams may PM their own players each day (each player my send his team up to 3 PM's per day).

Wolves will be able to PM amongst themselves an unlimited amount.

I will elaborate as the night goes along but my youngest is sick and I am watching her while my oldest is at dance.

Feel free to post questions that you may have and I will do my best to answer them either in the rules or in a post.

The deadline will be 9 PM EST. At that time first the results of the day's competition will be announced, secondly the results of the lynch will be announced and finally the night results will be announced.

General Rules

- Daily deadline 9:00 PM EST, votes and actions will be taken up to and including a 9:00 PM timestamp. Once the timestamp his 9:01 the deadline has passed.

- At the deadline the first result processed will be the even results.

- Once the even results are announced the lynch result will be tabulated and announced.

- After the lynch results are announced the night actins will be run and announced. Order of night actions: defensive, scanning, killing

- Tie lynch vote means no lynch.

- A no lynch means no night kill.

- A no lynch means no scan.


PM Rules

- Team members may send 3 PM's to their fellow team-mates during the course of a game day (after the previous day's results until the next day's deadline).

- Wolves have unlimited PM rights.

- NO PM's may be discussed in thread, exceptions will be noted in PM's which I send (such as the seer getting a scan result, revealing that willbe up to them and noted in the PM). This means that if a wolf messes up and sends the other members of his team (competition, not wolves) an incorrect PM which reveals he is a wolf those who received that information may not mention it in the game thread. They can vote on what they have discovered but they can't tell the rest of the group what they discovered from "insider information".


Competition Rules

- The number of teams, and number of players per team will be determined by the number of players.

- Each day a competition will be announced. At the time of the competition being announced the decisions available to the teams will be announced.

- Each player will be given a certain strength and weakness which they will know. The decisions and actions taken by the teams will determine the odds for the results.

- Actions taken during the competitions can affect the night action results (if the BG left it all on the ice that day, the odds of a successful block may decrease).

- The team that wins a competition will have an advantage available to them during the night phase (such as increased chance of surviving an attack, or maybe increased chane of a successful attack). One of the choices made by the team will be which team member will benefit from the advantage if they win.


Roles

- Not all roles may be used in the game (total number of players to determine).

Villager Roles

Seer - Standard seer role. Each night will select one person to scan. Will discover if they are villager or wolf (unless scanning the cunning).

Bodyguard - May select one player each night to protect. May self protect. Cannot protect the same person two nights in a row. Will not learn of an attack if it happens.

Duke - One time during the game may alter the lynch result (may either chose a person to lynch or change the result to a no lynch).

Fool - Thinks they are the seer. My submit a scan each night. The results will be completely random (based upon the number of wolves to the total remaining number or players). Example: If there are 10 players left and 3 are wolves there will be a 30% chance that any scan comes back wolf.

Soothsayer - May select a statement posted in the thread and determine the truthfulness of that statement. May use this ability once.

Judge - You are secretly an olympic judges as well as competitor. Once during the competitions you may use your "ability" to rig the results of the competition so that your team wins. Using this ability will cause you to be night killed if any member of your team is targeted during that night regardless of the outcome of that kill (if a BG block happens you are still killed, if your team-mate is killed you will still be killed as well).

Vanilla - No special ability for night actions buta valuable member of their team


Wolf Roles

Brutal - If lynched you will take out a random villager, if duked to you will take out the duke.

Cunning - If scanned you will come up as a villager.

Slut - You may choose a villager each night and prevent them from performing an action. You may not select the same villager twice during the game.

Juicer - HGH is your friend, you may chose to use your ability for an event that requires strength and fix the results. If you use this ability and a member of your team is scanned that night the person performing the scan will also scan you.

Cultist - You win with the wolves but you count towards the villager numbers. You will learn the identity of a wolf upon the first vote for a wolf each day but no more than one wolf identity per day. Example: If EagleFan was a wolf and received the first vote on day one you would learn that he was a wolf. If BK was a wolf and received the second vote you would not learn his identity.

Wolf - No special night ability but a valuable member of their team.


Other

Defector - You start the game as a villager but if night attacked you will be converted to a wolf. You win with whatever team you end the game on.

Vilus in

Sure

In

in

in although after living through day 5 this past game, I am sure I'll be out day 1 or 2 here, especially since in the last game I only have votes for wolves after day 2 :).

I'm in, despite the fact that I find the GM to be a hateful, hateful jerkface.

I'm in. Should I vote dv now or later?

Vote Poli

Self preservation

Bump, have posted a little game information.

Sounds cool, but I'll bet on a wolf mixing up PM's and sending it to his teamates :)

:)

Make me a cultist so that I can do that on purpose to screw with the villagers on my team.

how do u post pics in pms and threads?

i did it once but can't remember

Click the insert image button and type in the link.

In.

hmm, wasn't working earlier

how many teams we having? and what events?

Depends upon the number of players in the game. I am hoping to have 3 person teams. The events will be basic olympic events. The actual event will be just for flavor but the daily results may act as a "buff".

Added some of the rules, will still be posting more throughout the night/day tomorrow.

Can she be on my team?

She's been given the position of special assistant to the game GM. :devil:

i'm tempted to take out the GM

You could at least assign one Olympic hottie to each team, come on. You want signups or not?

Okay...

Vonn to Lathum's team

Mancusa (sp?) to PB's team

Random Swedish hottie to Danny's team

Weir to Autumn's team

You know, I distrust you so much I actually hunted down a picture of Julie Mancuso, expecting "her" to be a German male weightlifter, but I am impressed.

You could throw Tanith Belbin in there too probably.

Apparently you distrusted him just enough, PB, if you were me.

Grrrrrrr

I would do dirty things to Lindsey Vonn.

See, I'm not always evil. :)

dola: There's a really good picture of her in the Olympics thread.

in

:D

Have meetings to jump into for the rest of the afternoon. Then I'll be taking my daughter to signup for lacrosse so I will jump on later this evening to finallize anything rule related.

Will also include an event list (the number of events used will depend upon how long the game lasts and how many people are involved) and more details about the events and how they will work.

Added event information.

Skeleton is an event?

Yep, I'll try to find a link for you.

Skeleton (sport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)


It's basically like a sled in which you are going head first.

I'll play.

I stand corrected. I saw a bit of it last night. When does innertubing become a summer olympics sport?

Some of those olympic sports seem pretty ridiculous to me too. Why does there need to be 2-person luge?

I'm assuming we're shooting for something like a monday start. So I want to post saying I'll be gone this weekend, back on for a bit monday morning and then probably mostly gone until Tuesday. so if the game starts up by Monday I'll try to check in in the morning and then be out for a bit. I should be fine after that.

Welcome, now if you could tell RendeR to get his @$$ in here and signup. :)

Guess I should mention that I'm out of town this coming Thurs & Friday, but should be able to pop in via my phone to at least put in a vote.

I'll play.

I'll keep pimping this one, would like to get to at least 15.

I was taking a break, but if you need somebody to fill this up, I'll play.

I would not be able to participate during the first three days, so I think it would be kind of useless to sign up. But I can be an alternate, in the event that someone else has late availability issues and needs a fill-in.

I will let you alternate for me in the event that I am about to die.
