Title: Werehog Day
Post by: Frocto on March 02, 2010, 07:10:21 PM
I had this idea IN THE GYM *flex flex flex*.

Anyway, I am looking for players for my first ever Werewolf game. I figure everyone (myself included) is sick of Wolf right now, but there is no harm in putting a thread up now and running it down the track (unless we have quittas like SCD). If I get enough players NOW, I will run it now.

Looking for 7+ people to play

(http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt344/Frocto/clock_groundhog_day.jpg)

Werehog Day!

The rules are as follows. There are some wolves. You vote for them. If you win, you win. If the wolves win, they win.

Every non-wolf player but one is a Vigilante and can day-kill as many times each day as they want. If a Vigilante kills an innocent, the game resets and one of the Vigilantes, chosen at random, is permanently transformed into a wolf. All players shuffle accounts. Obviously, because of shuffling this game will need to be played with anonymous accounts, but we should all have one of those by now, right?

The remaining Innocent is the Phil Connors/Rika Furude/Special Seer. When the game resets, they start out knowing the new identities of any wolves that were uncovered in previous games, while they were alive. They can do their usual bit, but obviously must keep their identity a secret.

Just in case you didn't grasp it, here's an example.

There are two wolves, four innocents and one Phil. First day lynch hits an innocent, wolves night-kill another innocent. Second day, a Vigilante baseball bats a wolf, lynch hits another innocent, leaving two innocents and a wolf. Since the night kill will win the game for the wolves, the Vigilante tasers, but accidentally hits Phil Connors and kills him. Game resets.

There are now three vigilantes, three wolves and one Phil. Phil knows the account of the werewolf that died, but not the werewolf that survived the previous game.


ANY QUESTIONS?

Please sign-up if interested :)

Are roles tied to accounts? Because if they are, in your scenario, not only will the innocents after the reset know the identity of the dead wolf (unless you don't say anything about that) (though the account owner could still get the wolves' planning PMs) but Phil Connors' account will be known, and then Phil Connors can just be killed immediately ad infinitum so he's completely useless.

If they aren't tied to accounts, Phil Connors knowing the account of a Wolf from the last game is completely useless because there is no longer any certainty in that. After one reset, it's 50/50. After two resets, the wolves win like normal (in a seven man)?

Help I am potentially way confused

Yyler, people keep their powers, but they change their names. So if Yyler the Seer and Brentai the Wolf are posting as Smacko and Shitto, then next game, Yyler would still be the Seer, but he would be Shitto. Brentai would still be a wolf but he would be Smacko.

When I randomly determine resets, I would send them the password for their new random account. Capiche?
Title: Re: Werehog Day
Post by: yyler on March 02, 2010, 09:48:28 PM
Capiche?
nope

because again, what is the point in Phil knowing that Smacko was a wolf if the wolf behind Smacko was now Shitto?
Title: Re: Werehog Day
Post by: Frocto on March 02, 2010, 10:10:46 PM
Because I would start each Groundhog Day by sending the Phil a PM with the new identities of the wolves that were uncovered via lynching in previous games.

Yyler the Seer would receive a PM stating that the wolf previously named Shitto is now named Smacko.

Title: Re: Werehog Day
Post by: Frocto on March 03, 2010, 05:53:40 AM
Minor rules adjustments after some consideration:

1) For the werewolves to win, they must have more wolves than survivors AND Phil must be dead.

Reason for fix: In a seven player game, after two games, wolves would receive an automatic win. This gives the Town a first turn for the Vigilantes to try to salvage the situation.

2) If Vigilante kills are resolving on wolves AND town, then they resolve in the order I receive them. For example, if Vigilantes kill Wolf, Innocent, Wolf, in that order, on the next Werehog Day, Phil would be aware of the identity of only the first wolf.

I'm a god. No, not THE God.

This is Doris, her brother in law Carl owns this diner. She's worked here since she was 17. More than anything else in her life, she wants to devour humans before she's uncovered as a werewolf.

This is Debbie Kleiser and her fiance Fred. They're supposed to be getting married this afternoon, but Debbie is a vampire.

This is Bill, he likes the town, he paints toy soldiers and he's a Weretiger.


Okay, only post with fake accounts. If you don't have one already, I have two spare. Only communicate via PMs unless you're a wolf, blah blah blah. Make sure to delete any game-related PMs before you switch accounts.

 That's right, woodchuck-chuckers, it's Groundhog Day!

You may remember me from such films as Space Jam, every Wes Anderson flick, and Ghostbusters. In Groundhog Day I played Phil Connors, who was stuck repeating the same day over and over, no matter what... until I learned to love. Later, I piloted a submarine to avenge a fallen comrade.

Okay, one thing I forgot to mention earlier. Vigilantes must announce in the thread that they are killing someone. I'll change it if anyone can provide a good reason to not do it that way! :)

It has been two days without activity! Shame on yoooooooouuuuuu.

As punishment, in exactly 24 hours from now, I will execute one of you. One unlucky player who has not yet posted will die by my discretion and we will move on to the night kill. I hold life and death in my VERY FUCKING HANDS.

That player is...

Roll(1d4)+0:
4,+0


Reaverbot

If any single person votes within the next 24 hours, give or take a few hours, Reaverbot's life will be spared and I will go with a majority vote, regardless of size, but if not...

Barely half the players have even checked in. I don't think we're exactly stuck in an indecisive gridlock.

Reaverbot was a Wolf! One down, two to go, fearless fellows. In the words of a great man, "Bark bark bark."

ANYWAY, if we go through a second cycle, and he doesn't have internet again by then, I will find a celebrity player to fill in for him.

Also, everyone playing in this game has now been sent a message to let them know they are, in fact, playing in this game! Oh boy!

Our two remaining wolves can PM me with their night kill decision at their leisure.

Looks like during the night The Noid was spamming abuse of well-liked regulars all over the Wolfoforums. He was rapidly banned and banned hard. Also apologies to The Noid for comparing him to Sora. I don't get that advertising here, but I doubt anyone wants to hit his testicles with a hammer?

Seven players remain.

Bill Murray

No, I'm Phil Connors. Why do you think I would register a Bill Murray account if not for the irony of it? What this proves is Egg Shen is evil; there's no other reason for him to want to turn something around on a professed Phil.

An innocent wouldn't do that, unless the innocent was a fucking moron, and I take it on faith wolf players aren't morons on Brontoforumus, especially not the ones playing this game.

You can either follow the brilliance of Phil Motherfucking Connors or get him lynched and possibly lose the game by listening to Egg Shen. CHOOSE WISELY IDIOTS

Listen up, Murray. I just wanna talk.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AbURGah-sI

You'll see that, once I called out Eggy, he had a big wolf tell:
Actually, I'm going to go for Bill Murray as well, because I'm Phil Connors. Wasn't going to claim it because it's so much less useful this game, but I forgot that it means I can identify fake Phils.
Flimsy claim. Which proved to be false. So sad.

Since Eggy was so hard on killing Mikuru, she's in the clear. And Murray? I believe you, man. Oh, yeah. Feel it.

That leaves waterglass and Lum. And me? I'm leaning Lum... her tell came a post or two before Eggy's:
GUYS I THINK BILL MURRAY IS UP TO SOMETHING

However instead of killing him I will cleverly outwit him by doing exactly as he suggests Egg Shen

didn't see that coming did you Mr. Psychic

Looks to me like a partner wolf was eager to clear herself of suspicion. And if not? Kill water next turn, and this game is won.

I hope you see it... My Way!

That's part of why I voted for Lum, but I don't want to trust anyone. This isn't the part of the movie where I learn to love my producer and play piano; this is more like the part where I kill myself over and over.

If I wasn't Phil Connors I would just whack Lum or Rain based on a coin flip at this point. Seems kind of a shame to play this and never have the special effect go off.
Title: Re: Werehog Day
Post by: Bill Murray on March 16, 2010, 10:25:19 PM
I guess the question on everyone's mind is whether or not I am Phil Connors in the game or just the 1993 comedy film. I won't spoil it.
Title: Re: Werehog Day
Post by: Rain on March 16, 2010, 10:40:15 PM
Honestly, I would axe Lum if I wasn't afraid that I'd be wrong, the game would reset, no one would respond to Frocto's call for shifting, and the game would die.

Plus, the lynch is just safer at this point. We've got two tries at it.

Uh... no cute YouTube video this time.

Rain, darling!

1. I wouldn't say Egg had a hard on for lynching Mikuru, considering he couldn't even be bothered to get the name right. Not that this is relevant, but you making crazy baseless declarations could be character evidence.

2. why are you so convinced that Bill Murray is legit? Sounds more like you are just trying to swing the least currently suspicious player into not voting for you.

I refrained from saying anything earlier in case this was some executive wolf tactic, but please do not let this figure into your decision making process! It is sort of like saying you shouldn't take an action figure out of the box in case it gets dirty.

Or rather, it's like saying you shouldn't do the thing that is the main reason I wanted to run the game in the first place, because it's a hassle for people who signed up fully aware they would be expected to do it!

Yeah this game is pretty much up-fucked.

Nothing for it now but to send it careening over the edge.

HEY LUM.

BAM LUM WAS NOT REALLY A WEREWOLF

BUT BAM SHE WAS

BUT BAM IT WAS REALLY ALL A DREAM

BUT BAM WHEN SHE WOKE UP, A WEREWOLF CAME OUT OF HER SKIN

Lum was the final Werewolf.

Innocents win! Thanks for playing, everyone!

I wish I had been a vigilante so I could have just day killed all those wolves.

I kind of wanted to be a vigilante so I could start shooting immediately and only stop once I got converted to the werewolf team or accidentally gave myself the Phil Connors role, which was the one possibility for failure my plan had.

Didn't expect to start out as a wolf. I was considering posting this strategy in the thread, but then THIS happened.

Time for some fun!

It has been two days without activity! Shame on yoooooooouuuuuu.

As punishment, in exactly 24 hours from now, I will execute one of you. One unlucky player who has not yet posted will die by my discretion and we will move on to the night kill. I hold life and death in my VERY FUCKING HANDS.

That player is...

Roll(1d4)+0:
4,+0


Reaverbot

If any single person votes within the next 24 hours, give or take a few hours, Reaverbot's life will be spared and I will go with a majority vote, regardless of size, but if not...

(Since he doesn't check the boards regularly, I'll even drop him a message to let him know what's up)


This is the post where I realized this game was fucked and pretty much quit. Because:



If you have not been informed of your role, you are a Vigilante.

I think I found the culprit.


...combined with the fact that activity in Forum Games isn't even reported in the New Posts box on the front page means hey, way to build a mechanism into the game to show who has special roles and who doesn't.

New rule: if you run a game of werewolf, you have to PM every fucking player before the game starts.

Does seem like the best way to win was to reset the game until you became a wolf. You can't have become Phil Connors.

I don't get the implication here. Are you saying everyone who posted late were the Vigilantes? Because that wasn't what happened, Brentai posted well before you did.

And also! According to you, killing Phil Connors should have been easy but he finished the game alive. So, yeah, I just wanted to doublecheck that was what you actually meant, because it doesn't make sense.

Anyway, I don't actually mind the game was bumpy, since I was just trying to test my rules out, haha. Better luck next time, right?

By the time you were threatening to kill people, we'd had posts from Lum, Bill Murray, Mikuru, me, and Rain.

People who posted: 2 wolves, Phil Connors, 2 vigilantes.

People who hadn't posted: 1 wolf, 3 vigilantes.

Let's look at alternate accounts:

Brentai: Mikuru
Disposable Ninja: Never made one.
Guild: G, maybe? Or waterglass? Fuck, I don't know. There are more accounts posting here than should be playing.
Kayma: Rain
Kazz: waterglass? The Noid? Who can say.
Laserbeing: Lum
Newbie: EGG SHEN
Reaverbot: Spocktopus, but he posted using his regular account once and was already on his way to being dead
Yyler: Bill Murray

What I'm trying to say here is that, of this list of players, only Brentai, Kayma, LaserBeing, myself, and Yyler were actually playing. Maybe Guild, too. I couldn't tell. It was pretty obvious from the start that anybody who either didn't bother to make an anonymous account or who didn't post until the second day or at all was a wolf. That tied the wolves' hands: they had to kill inactive players first in order to maintain as large a pool of credible threats as possible: The Noid first, then DN.

In order for werewolf to work, the players have to be invested. By default, the way that investment happens is that you're a huge fan of wolf (Brent, Guild) or that you have a special role. If I sign up for a game, I won't necessarily realize it's going to happen right then—some games have a much longer incubation period than others—but I'm at least interested in playing it. On the other hand, finding out that a game I signed up for started without me realizing it, has been going for a while now and has seen people die already is a good way to guarantee I won't care one way or another.

I guess what I'm saying is, it's frustrating to sign up for a game, find out half the players were never notified that the game's starting, and then see the moderator threaten to start mod-killing people for inactivity when barely half the players have checked in.

This was an interesting game idea, though, and I'm glad we got to try it out. I'd be interested in trying out a tweaked version again some time.

I don't follow this. If the werewolves had killed the active players and waited for me to modkill inactive ones, they would have had a landslide victory. I was even saying that to Lee-Ham earlier, he was doing the wrong thing by killing people who weren't voting.

A victory of the malicious over the inactive isn't really a victory. I don't want to win as much as I want a good game.

what you want to do is wildly contradict yourself, I guess

Anyway! I don't want to be some nanny to you guys, constantly harassing you to give a shit, especially since like four people were incapable of reading the rules, but hey whatever. Brentai and yyler think I did a fantastic job of putting up with bullshit, and it is not my job to motivate people like Mr. "I Haven't Even Read The Rules LOLOLOLOL!" to care, BUT

Sure, if I ever run Werewolf again, I will send everyone an introductory PM. I would hazard a wild guess it will change exactly jack shit, since I am sure somewhere on the internet people have run Werewolf games on forums that didn't have introductory slaps on the ass to get started and they went fine, but if it comes to that I will stock up on funny insults to call you. I could direct a lot of blame at a lot of people for this game not being the best, too, but I had fun, so I don't need to?

And the other thing is that I just wanted to get through the game and test my rules out. You're acting like, what, my Werewolf game has to be super awesome fun, which I certainly never promised! When I realized
this game was fucked
I could have
pretty much quit.
like a big baby but I just saw it through and had fun with it and so did everyone else.

You big baby.
