sorry if this rule gets in you get a lot of crap posts from me that mean nothing and will probally piss alot of people off to have to go through pages of one word post from me.

The simple answer to this is vote to lynch those people if you must, but we all have our different styles. I choose not to add to the mess and confusion if I have nothing to add to a conversation. I suppose I could just say "I agree" and quote peoples posts I guess, but that still won't help.

my 2 cents

Fool scans Wolf gets Villager

Fool scans Seer gets Fool

Seer scans Fool gets Fool

Rather than having straight opposite can it be %, based on the remaining proportion? I think the straight opposite in effect adds a second seer as it becomes clear who the fool is.

If I do, my bonus goes back to 0 and I have to start over accumulating points.

I have no problem with this and think it works well in concert with a majority vote game. Do you want this to be your rule?

While I admire the spirit, I agree that in practice the rule becomes unworkable as people post meaningless posts causing me to have to keep a manual count of "real" posts. I would really prefer not to have to judge all that.

I liked a couple of roles you came up with for the last big game, I might go with one of those.

I like the Idea of a role of Thief who can steal the role or steal an item designed for the role. like stealing seer's cloak or fool's hat or Wolves claws or gun or something.

2. Encourage players to post just for the sake of posting. I could see posts such as,



Repeated multiple times just to avoid a lynch.

How about person with the most posts in invulnerable to being lynched or night killed. I WOULD NEVER DIE!!!

Let's go with this for my addition.

As a side note, I'm not sure if these abilities we are adding are specifically villager or if they can be wolf/villager? Should the wolves get roles that go either way from the ones players have listed here and the non use of the traditional roles brutal, cunning etc...? This way we can avoid a mass reveal. Normally the wolves would have a list of roles not in the game, but I'm not sure that works here because people can probably assume their chosen is in the game. Or if not, how are we going to handle this?

Great questions. I have been adding some as either villager or wolf roles when it seems ambigous. People can correct me if they intended for their role to go one way or another. But this question, one that's certainly been on my mind, certainly seems like a great area for someone to create a rule or role about.

So I probally should modify my role/rule to exclude wolves (only villager/villager paring)...unless we get a bodyguard role in the game.

I'd prefer the flexibility, but am happy to honor your request either way.

So would this work for a rule?


At the start of day 4, the winning condition of one wolf and one villager (both randomly chosen) are swapped (so the wolf wins with the village, the villager wins with the wolves).


BK, if you want to sort out the details of that, feel free. I'll just throw some ideas after the basic one in case you want to use any of them but don't feel like you have to. In particular I'm unsure how to handle the wolf who learns that he now wins with the village.

Option a. Neither of these players know that their winning condition has been changed. (I don't support this option if it can be avoided, I don't think it's fun to try your best to win only to find out you really were hurting yourself)

Option b. For the villager who wins with the wolves, if all the remaining real wolves are killed off then they become the final wolf.

Option c. Only a 50% chance that this swap occurs.

Option d. The wolves have one opportunity to immediately kill who they perceive to be their traitor (has to be unanimous minus one). If they are correct, they immediately kill (3? 4?) additional villagers. Essentially this is the only way I could think of disuading the traitor wolf from doing a full reveal of the other wolves.


If you don't think this would work well, let me know and I'll come up with something else.

Hello everyone, I'm the friend Danny was talking about earlier. I'll sign up for the 100th if there's still room. I know how the game works but since I haven't actually played one before and don't have strategy yet I don't think I should really add a rule or role to the game. Thanks.

Honestly, the villager becoming wolf this is fine because it's like a convert, but I'm not sure any of the above mechanics will work out with a wolf becoming a villager.

I knew I should have put a role in that specifically said you had the ability to kill Hoopsguy at any time in the game you wish for the person who received that power.

Careful, other people are still naming roles.

I already named a role that has that ability, although I should have put in a clause that it could not be used against Hoopsguy.

Psycho- Thinks they are psychic(seer) and will scan as a seer up on any and all role reveals but only has a 50% chance of being right on any scan. They will be given one scan a night and told they are the Seer.

it's your game. I was just thinking that without a BG and with a fool seer it might better balance the game...if you feel it's ok to have a possible wolf/villager combo then go for it.

Hey, I don't think I told you, it's ok since nothing has started, but during a WW game we can't edit our posts.

Also don't trust AlanT, Hoopsguy, Lathum or Dubb or really anyone else for that matter

Actually I'll change mine. I really only like the Fool when it's polar opposite. So if NFG likes it at half-chance then he can use that and I'll bite the bullet and add a Bodyguard.

But let's not call him the Bodyguard let's call him the Supreme Being of Safety.

I am going to have to withdraw from this game. I will not have even the availability that I thought I would have over the next couple of weeks. August has always been tough in my line of work, and this will be even more/
