WW Small Game II: Football Tryouts (Day 5)

Barkeep49 · 10-30-2006, 06:46 AM

The best time of the year has come: football tryouts. For the next few days you will be running, throwing, hitting, and puking your guts out, in the hopes that you will be able to join the squad this year. The only problem is that your archrival, FMHS, reportedly has recruited a couple of guys to turn over the playbook if they make the team. So each day you will be "convincing" one of the players to not come back to practice the next day. Hopefully you can find out who the two moles are before their numbers get equal to your own...

Barkeep49 · 10-30-2006, 06:46 AM

This will be a traditional game of WW. No strange mechanics or rules. There are two sides, the students and the moles.

Each day there will be a vote. The player with the most votes will be kicked-off the team. Each night the moles may choose one player to remove from the team as well.

Night Deadline will be 9 PM Eastern with morning deadline at 7 AM Eastern.

Roles are:

Moles (The Bad Guys)
Moles (Wolf) -- These three players have been bribed to turn over the playbook of FOFCHS should they make the team. May PM each other. Each night they may choose one player to remove from the team. They should PM me with who is doing the dirty deed.

Saboteur (Sorcerer) -- A former student at FMHS, he has been told who the two moles are by some friends who go there. He wins if the moles win, but counts as a student for purposes of determining moles/students.

Students (The Good Guys
Dean's Assistant (Seer) -- Thanks to his role in the dean's office he can obtain the locker combination of one person in the game each day. He can then check their locker during the night cycle to see their role (except he will not detect the Saboteur). Should PM me each night with who he wishes to check.

Night Owl (Bodyguard) -- This is the guy who doesn't really need any sleep. He can camp outside one person's home each night. If the moles attempt any shenanigans, he will be able to fend them off and also learn the identity of the mole. However, he doesn't want to be a stalker or anything so he won't go to the same house two nights in a row. Should PM me each night with who he wishes to protect

Player (Vanilla Villager) -- A hard working player attempting to make the team.

Unknown (Public Role which could be either a good or bad player)
Coach's Son (Duke) -- He tries to attract little attention, but it can't be avoided that he is the son of the coach. Once per game he may decide a different person to be kicked off the team thanks to his influence with his dad.

Fouts · 10-30-2006, 06:59 AM

I'm going to assume the players not currently in the large game get the first shot at this one.

Good luck!

Oh my goodness. I never said anything like this.

I will concede that you didn't call me a sexist if you stop this. I'm not the only person to comment on your style of play and my comments haven't been the worst.

This is sad.

spleen1015 · 10-30-2006, 08:20 AM

I will play if you need someone to round out the group.

st.cronin · 10-30-2006, 08:27 AM

I will play.

Tyrith · 10-30-2006, 09:44 AM

path12 · 10-30-2006, 10:25 AM

I'm suddenly without a game. In.

Alan T · 10-30-2006, 10:28 AM

Same here, I'll play too

Can put me down as #10 or #12 though. If a newer player wants to play, then feel free to bump me for them.

Not sure if you did or not though, might post on General discussion forum to get more folks aware of this game.

saldana · 10-30-2006, 11:46 AM

mmmmm...two more days of WW...sure sign me up....the moles have to have someone to kill the first or second night.

Lathum · 10-30-2006, 12:26 PM

in unless a new player wants that spot

SnDvls · 10-30-2006, 12:39 PM

someone should pm all the players from the newbie game and nequia I believe who was also asking about this.

Swaggs · 10-30-2006, 02:40 PM

What's the timeline on this one? I am out of town for the weekend, but if it starts after Sunday, I might be interested.

I think Schmidty has already (self-) claimed that title.

in please

Lathum · 10-30-2006, 03:17 PM

bk, when is this game starting?

Barkeep49 · 10-30-2006, 04:34 PM

I plan on starting it, hopefully, tomorrow, or Wednesday at the latest. We're at 8 (including spleen) already so if we can get at least two more I'd start tomorrow as there would be no Night 0 actions.

Neuqua · 10-30-2006, 05:20 PM

I'm in.

LoneStarGirl · 10-30-2006, 05:28 PM

Oh i dont think im the worst, in fact hoopsguy is my favorite WW player ever because he has told me numerous times that he thinks im a good player.

So what the hell, i'll play.

And no spleen, nobody has ever been rude enough to say im a bad player except you.

Barkeep49 · 10-30-2006, 05:37 PM

Enough with the bad player bit. We all know that tempers flair during WW. The intensity of the game is what makes the game so alluring. We all need to be careful before we post, taking a moment (or 12) before casting asperisions on our fellow players because ad hominem attacks do not make the game more fun. I direct this not only at our two current upset players but as a reminder to us all.

~Barkeep49, Your Friendly WW Mod

Barkeep49 · 10-30-2006, 05:38 PM

I'd like to fill out the game. Roles will be sent around 10 PM tonight so we'll run with whatever we have by then, though I hope we could get a full game.

Alan T · 10-30-2006, 05:39 PM

For whatever its worth, in a game that is antagonistic by nature, it is not unusual to see attacks of all kinds of sorts go at each other. Sometimes people get heated up for real and say stuff they don't mean. Other times people say stuff just for effect and a good cover in the WW game...

Whatever the reason, I usually find it a good policy to wipe the slate clean each game and start fresh in the next one. You two (Lonestargirl and Spleen) might end up needing each other this game and not being able to work together will ruin your playing experience.

This is my point stated in a far better fashion. Thanks Alan.

Barkeep49 · 10-30-2006, 08:18 PM

Ok roles will be sent shortly. Game will then go into Day 1 with a deadline of 9 PM tomorrow for the first boot.

Neuqua · 10-30-2006, 08:24 PM

Man did you butcher my name.

Barkeep49 · 10-30-2006, 08:24 PM

Made a few changes to the role descriptions. Would recommend players reread before starting the game.

BK - in the roles under moles you say 3 in scorcer you say 2 moles

which is it?

3. I fiddled around a bit with that number but decided it wasn't quite balanced with just 2 moles. However, I expanded the seer's power so they now would learn who the BG was, if they scanned that person. I think 9-3, with the 1 villager working for the bad guys, is the right balance in a 12 player game.

so there are three moles plus the scorcer correct?

Barkeep49 · 10-30-2006, 08:37 PM

What glory. To make the FOFCHS football team is your ticket in. The world of Varsity Blues or Friday Night Lights could be yours if you can simply stomach your way through the next week, or so, of tryouts. And you will win yourself an all elusive spot on the varsity roster.

However, there is that persistent rumor that your arch rival, FMHS, has infiltrated your high school. That a couple of kids from the school really are just trying out because they have been promised a lot of money if they can pass the playbook over to FMHS. That playbook could be the difference between state champions and state chumps.

As the 12 players go out for the first day of practice, there is one person who seems to have the leg up. Everyone denies it, but since Tyrith is the coach's son, it seems like he'll have some sort of advantage. But who knows. As the coach sets you to some wind sprints you find a moment, in the sweltering sun, to look around and attempt to see who might be one of the moles.

Day 1 now going. Lynch 9 PM Eastern Tuesday.

Correct. 4 total bad guys.

Barkeep49 · 10-30-2006, 08:37 PM

Whoops. Forgot to put in the standard disclaimer, but the Night Owl may not protect the same person two nights in a row. This is updated in the rules.

LoneStarGirl · 10-30-2006, 09:18 PM

okay guys, just checking in, I am going to try and be a lot more over the radar and not be so drive by like i have been before.
