Werewolf LIII -- Boo! (GAME OVER!)
 

As the cast members of "Dude, This Is A Scary House", you are used to things that go bump in the night. But this particular house, Path Mansion, has the potential to make those other places look like kiddy parks. Can you survive?

Current rules:

Evil Roles:

Dark Spirits (wolves) -- you are out to kill these invaders. You have unlimited PM rights with your fellow dark spirits.

Dark Follower -- although you are a cast member, you secretly sympathize with the Dark Spirits and hope to prove yourself worthy of joining them. You may search one player each night in hopes of finding the Empath. You count as a cast member for parity purposes.

Good Roles:

Empath: You have extra intuition to evil. You can search one player each night in order to detect evil within them.

Cameraman: You are always at the ready to catch any action. You may protect one player each night. If they are attacked, you will prevent the attack. There is a 50% chance you are killed. There is a 50% chance you will identify the attacker. You may not protect the same player two nights in a row.

New Guy: You are a regular cast member, but your lack of experience means that you may be scanned as evil by the Empath. This role will not be known by the holder, who will think themselves a regular Cast Member.

Host: As the focus of the show, you are brave and fearless. If the game comes down to you and a Dark Spirit, you will kill the Dark Spirit.

Cast Members: You have no special abilities.

We will run this on the newly popular 24 hour schedule, with deadlines at 10PM Eastern/7PM Pacific.

I'm in and I really hope we run it this time. I think it's an intriguing rules set and as I said in "Games I'd like to See", I've really been wanting a multi-faction game for a while now.

any word on start date and deadline times?

I'm planning deadlines to be 9PM Eastern, and night actions due by 9AM the following morning. My hope would be that we could start by end week if we fill.

In.

Sign Telle and I up please!

I would like to play, but I'm not going to be available from 8/30 - 9/4. So unless we are starting soon and playing through the weekend then I'm probably going to have to sit another one out. Sigh.

dammit hoops!! :D

I think I am out also.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Maybe it's best i sit this one out...


;)

Actually I have to look into my schedule. Do we have an estimate on when this'll start? Haven't read all 14 posts yet. :D

Darn. Another complicated game. :(

I'm not saying the game doesn't look fun, I just wish there were more "classic" werewolf games on occasion.

Inyo.

I'm thinking about it. I'll make up my mind tomorrow, probably.

Umm Schmdity the previous two games to Clue were basically classic WW games and the one before that wasn't too far from the classic formula itself.

Heh. We can start once we fill. We'll need at least 17 for this ruleset. With the participation of the last few games, I'm optimistic that we can start by end week.


Don't be fooled by the lengthy rules. I really think this is not a very complicated game in practice. It is basically two equal teams with some neutral roles to add some flavor. I hope it's a game that will be a lot of fun to play since everyone will be able to do something.


I hope you play. It's been awhile.

I'll play

Please let me piss and moan in peace.

Sorry bout that.

Schmidty's gotta have some entertainment in his life, if he can't piss and moan about something he's just miserable ;)

sign me up

although if the game goes into the end of next week I'll probably be pretty quiet.

Lathum seems kinda quiet, don't you guys think?

Lathum has been quiet, but what about Swaggs? Now that is a guy who I'm suspicious of right now.

Never mind that
a.) I'm not playing this game if it starts this week
b.) Swaggs isn't signed up

He is too quiet, I tell you!

Sign me up, though have no computer in my office. (there is a bucket under a pipe instead...so comp was removed to prevent water damage to it.)

I can't do this one, sadly, family stuff has come up beginning of next week then school starts, miss next Tuesday for major orientation, etc etc. But probably sometime soon.

OK, this is the third time I've tried this ruleset and for whatever reason it just doesn't seem to be one that catches on. I'm going to try and put an alternate game ruleset together tonight and change this to a simpler theme.

Feel free to still sign up if you want to. The new ruleset will not have a set number.

Maybe a thread in the GD would help?

If we're only halfway in three days, I don't think a GD thread is going to help. Games have been filling fast lately.

I think its just been poor timing, rather than the ruleset.

I agree with Cronin. Alot of people are going out of town for Labor day weekend and the last holiday weekend before summer is over.

I wasn't going to play because I'll be busy with my girls, but felt bad that the game wasn't filling up, so joined up.

I believe that this ruleset is cursed. However, if it does end up running shortly after Labor Day then I would like to try and help break the curse by signing up.

I agree with this and Alan T.

so are we looking at a Monday start then??

I'm afraid of the ruleset. However, I'd like to echo cronin and say that it seems like the timing might just be bad.

On the other hand, Passacaglia's post in Off Topic is what got my in the last game. Wish I could join up. If this is delayed enough, I will, but more likely I'll try to catch the next game.

OK, I've changed the ruleset and we'll lock in at the signups so far.

Now the question is when to start? I'd love to get in a quick day 1 today so you at least have something to mull over the longer weekend schedule.

But if you'd rather start Monday, that's cool also. Open for discussion.

VOTE ST.CRONIN

he wasn't listed on the same PM as me so he must be a wolf.

VOTE START TODAY...DAY ONE IS LARGELY A CRAPSHOOT ANYWAYS

Are roles fully revealed upon death? (specifically the Dark Follower). And does the Empath see the Dark Follower as good or bad?

And I'd rather start Monday. I'm not going to have much time today after about 2pm.

I am ok starting today, but I won't be around this afternoon.

Im ok starting whenever, but I wont be around later afternoon/early evening and my weekend schedule is pretty spotty. I should make it around enough to pop in at least to accuse Cronin of something or another.

The Dark Follower will scan as evil. Roles will be revealed upon death.

Well, I'm tempted then to just open signups through Sunday morning, and then send out roles that afternoon for a Monday start.

I'm leaving for the weekend, in a couple of hours, so Monday would be best for me.

OK, roles will go out Sunday.

Either day to start is fine with me. I'l be on and off all weekend.
