come on guys
you can't lynch guild and then just stop playing in the hopes someone will start a new game so you can lynch guild again
it's quicker if you just complete this one
The rules:
Guildenstern is a player. There is a 50% chance he is a wolf.
There is an innocent player, randomly determined. He is innocent and is declared as such by me in public at the start of the game.
There is the rest of everybody. They are innocent if Guild is the Wolf, or, if Guild is innocent, they are all wolves.
The single innocent player has a gun. He can either shoot Guild or everyone else.
Sign ups go here
this is probably a joke but I will also run it if asked nicely
-
That's too crazy for me not to play!
-
I want to play that.
Guys, let's play that.
-
I just want to shoot Guild. In.
(Can we have an option to blow up Thad, too?)
-
I'll play if I can blow up Thad.
Fuck that guy.
-
I know a guy who knows a guy who found out where he used to live.
-
In. :doit:
-
how can I refuse
-
It's like Russian Roulette only with worse odds!
-
I feel much better about the odds since Friday's the GM.
-
Sounds yummy, although it escapes me how we (the innocent) will actually deduce anything.
-
in
-
How deliciously absurd.
In...
if asked nicely
... ~O Queen of the Blades, smiter of the Earth-borne, death-bringer to the Overmind, and not - at - all unattractive in any form, despite those actual blades and that... That cavern.
-
from which flames shoot out at random intervals
-
:perfect:
I'm in!
-
WHERE IS GUILD
I WILL FIND HIM
I WILL FIND MY GUILDENSTERN
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
(seriously Guild you have to play or else this doesn't work)
-
Ah, I had surmised the role of Guild was doled out, with the pitiful sap unlucky enough to be selected given a cordial Texas funeral.
-
Well we could do it that way too I guess!
Especially if Guild is dead or whatever!
OK I will be starting this trainwreck tomorrow if Guild does not show by then!
-
:perfect:
-
I AM HERE OMG
This game is so win.
-
Bongo
DNi
Brentai
O. Hakubi
Romosome
Lunartick
Zara
Constantine
Arc
Kazz
and of course Guild
Arc is the confirmed innocent with the cannon.
Roles going out, if you do not get a PM, you're innocent.
There are two scenarios, with a 50% chance for each:
Either Guild is a wolf and everyone else is inno, or Guild is inno and everyone else is a wolf.
Arc must decide who to shoot!
He may ask questions and Guild may post and others may post and whatever.
Roles going out, game to start in 3... 2... 1...
-
START!
Arc has the gun and can end the game at any time by simply posting "I shoot Guild/Everyone Else."
-
I got a PM from Arc claiming he was a secret seer forming a voting block for the Master Vampire to flush out the real threat, the werewolves, and that he already knew I was the fool. He has asked me to pretend to be the seer, which means he is most likely lying about all of this HOWEVER I actually believe he is Innocent and has a good plan.
however I am going to vote to lynch him because I have a reverse psychology master plan so brilliant it will appear retarded to everyone, which is exactly how it works, only I forgot part of what happens next because I ran into a wall today
at any rate nothing is what it seems and this merely proves I am so good at werewolf and human manipulation that I have developed (for game purposes of course) the ability to cloud my own mind.
this is why I am voting for MYSELF and I hope this explains the situation properly
-
What kind of cannon is it, and are we in two separate groups? Because I'm guessing that we're in one location and Guild is in another, with Arc and the cannon roughly equidistant from the two, but how it's set up would probably vary depending on the kind of cannon. If it's a muzzle-loading gun circa the 17th to 19th centuries we'd all probably have to be lined up for the cannonball to actually kill us, which strikes me as being entirely too organized for what amounts to a one-man prisoner's dilemma. Something like a Great Turkish Bombard would give a little more leeway in that respect, though not much. Canister shot might work too, but then it's just everyone lined up side-to-side within the arc of the shot instead of in a queue.
Artillery is a bit more likely, owing to the relative ease with which one can eliminate a group of targets, even if the targets are spread out a bit. It is, however, meant for extreme distances, which means that this entire ordeal would be taking place with the respective parties hundreds of yards away at the very least. Direct fire is less likely but still possible, as proven during the Korean War at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, but then things simply run into the same problem as with the cannon and you're still shouting at each other over long range anyway.
Likelier still is that the cannon Arc is tasked with is in fact an autocannon, firing 20mm rounds or greater at extremely high speeds. Indeed, if one wants to kill a werewolf and silver, fire or whatever else isn't available, savage dismemberment and reduction to "chunky hairy salsa" status would probably be your next best bet. Though to be fair, most people don't immediately think of high-caliber automatic weapons when they hear the word "cannon" and I'm not going to be so presumptuous to instantly assume that's what Friday meant.
I'm not even going to get in to future technology and science fiction (orbital satellite cannons, energy weapons, electromagnetic and gauss projectile systems, &c &c), but I won't discount the possibility of its use or reference in this werewolf game. Any clarification on these matters would be appreciated.
Thanks muchly.
Yours etc.,
O. "Abbreviated Effete First Name" Hakubi III, Duke of Sealand

Perhaps Guild is in a cannon, and Arc has the choice of either aiming it at the trigger of a dunk tank upon which we are all mounted, and we are all composed of flame or we're bastard children of a Wicked Witch or something so the water will instantly kill us, or at a brick wall.
Anyway, I propose that Arc should murder Guild, because per the rules of the game, no matter what I am or what Guild is, Guild has to die in order for me to win. Things are rather clear-cut in that sense, aren't they.
-
this is why I am voting for MYSELF and I hope this explains the situation properly
WARNING: I AM NOT IN THIS GAME!
I just wanted to comment Romo, I used that tatic. Did you ever see where it got me?
-
I am innocent, so I therefore I urge you, Arc, to kill the rest of the town. Thank you. Tip your waitress.
-
Guild.
-
:THATWAY: THE GAME DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!
-
If you're so innocent, what are you doing with THIS?!
(http://kazz.rooms.cwal.net/oolong.jpg)
-
Guild wire. Kazz wire. Zara is usually the ground.
Uh, so much pressure. Pressure!
-
If you're so innocent, what are you doing with THIS?!

Am I the pancake or the bunny?
You fool, I have already won this game.
-
OOLONG IS A PANCAKE/BUNNY HYBRID AND HE IS BEYOND YOUR POWERS OF COMPREHENSION
-
OOLONG is DEAD
GUILD KILLED HIM
-
This is by far the best wolf game I've seen in a damn long time. I've laughed at pretty much every post.
-
Little does Arc realize, the wolf(s) carry his child, unknown to him.
-

But the trigger for dunk tanks is traditionally a bull's-eye with a little plunger thing in the center, which would probably splat Guild when he hit it and make this entire affair "kill Guild or kill Guild and everyone else." Unless Arc aimed the cannon into the air and shot Guild into the dunk tank, which would mean that everyone survived. Unless the dunk tank was full of, like, liquid silver or liquid fire or ninjas or something. But then we're just back to where we started.
Maybe it's a cannon with a line of fire that either goes past a lever that drops us into a dunk tank full of flaming liquid silver ninjas and ends with a pool of water OR goes into a brick wall, but in that case Arc's not really killing us with the cannon so much as not killing Guild, who then kills us, effectively making it an indirect cannon kill.
-
Guild.
-
:popcorn: Tonight, people will die. I'm a construct of my word.
-
If we were wolves, one of us would have outed ourselves by now.
...don't look at me like that. I'm not a wolf this time.
-
Brentai by "not a wolf this time" don't you mean "I am from a future game of werewolf where I am not a wolf and have traveled back in time to replace myself, who is a wolf, in this game, thus giving me a perfect cover and defense against seers"
I think you do
OR DO I
lol just kidding guys
OR AM I!?!?!?!?!?!!
at any rate I am changing my vote to Kazz because he has agreed to vote with me and I hope revealing this increases our chances of winning, as it is the last thing anyone would expect me to do.
-
I am not a wolf at this time.
-
how about now
-
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaybe.
-
One hour until the Glock strikes twelve.
Current score? Guild is winning.
-
according to what criteria? D:
-
If Guild's not the werewolf, then why does his highschool yearbook photo look like this:
-
Current score? Guild is winning.
Before or after the requisite "I should really do exactly the opposite of what I feel like doing to Guild" logic?
-
:justasplanned:
-
Who to choose?
Who to choose?
Allies?
Enemies?
These waters are murkier than they appear on the surface.
Is this truly my fate?
My inescapable fate?
To end the lives of those who I've known for so long?
There is no other option.
They have made the choice clear through their actions.
Goodbye.
Everyone.
May my hand send you to a better place.

Mmm, Arc sandwich. :want:
-
(PS: Game is awesome. Would totally run another one with randomized roles.)
-
Yeah, sorry Arc. But we have to kill and eat you now.
Thems the rules.
-
ARC! I'm coming in for a pickup. GET THE HELL TO THE LADDER. I wasn't even in the game so you know you can trust me! COME ON!

DAMN IT WE STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT HOW THE CANNON WORKS :MENDOZAAAAA:
-
WOLVES DON'T HAVE THUMBS YOU ASSHOLE
WOLVES DON'T HAVE THUMBS
-
OK, that was amusing.
Just to be clear, Guild was inno and everyone else was a wolf.
Guildenstern, it appears you are unable to convince anyone of your innocence even when you are the only innocent person alive.
I'm sure this is just as you planned.
-
::D:
Sign up for next game. I'll run it when I have x number of people, x being a number generated by my ass.
-
Of course I'll play.
-
whoops
-
Would anyone in Arc's position not have shot Guild?
Would anyone risk being the one who joined a game named "Kill Guild" and NOT have killed Guild?
-
Exactly.
The fact that everyone was a fleabag was fairly obvious from the start, due to the volume of immediate replies, and the intentional confusing nature they (playfully) exuded. Suggestion: Send everyone private messages.
The Camel - Back - Breaker comment:
If we were wolves, one of us would have outed ourselves by now.
HA!
That said, not shooting Guild would have made me the Demons (a new title for this type of game?). The format will work correctly when another player is the target, and can be spiced-up with a werewolf character. This will allow for some form of relevant questioning.
(http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/oo22/driftycity/RockVampireSS.jpg)
-
It might be interesting if a player at random is the only innocent/the only wolf, and nobody knows who it is.
-
Would have made you the demons?
Um, Arc... You were the one, confirmed innocent... That's how the game works? This is better designed than the two-thirds game (http://www.qwantz.com/archive/001360.html).
It might be interesting if a player at random is the only innocent/the only wolf, and nobody knows who it is.
I'm not sure how that would work in this game? So would everybody without a specifically defined role come up as ambiguous at time of death?
-
Thank you, Classic.
You are a valuable board member, and vital asset to these games.

Just call me the next time you want to make reference to something I haven't read, like that comic you recommended ages ago, while simultaneously making it look like you can't read. If you don't, there's no guarantee I'll be around to point out the obvious like I was this time.
-
So far DN, Bongo Bill, Detonator, Arc, and Zaratustra have signed up.
-
I WILL PLAY
-
I'll sign up!
-
In.
For some reason I was trying to think of variations on this where there were more innocents and you shot, say, three people at a time to try and kill all there werewolves before you end up killing all the innos in the process. Or have it start with one vampire-type character and every turn he turns another player and you need to stop the vampires but, again, multiple kills.

Lynch Guild Round 2
One day a dusty stranger rolled into town. It was Detonator, a lone vigilante with a very special cannon.
"Now then," he said with an exaggerated drawl, "Who here's a god damned werewolf?"
"Not me!" cried all the townspeople!
Then, a quiet voice from the back whispered, "All of them."
Everybody gasped! Oh my fuck!
It was Bongo Bill! What's his game?
Detonator had to choose... turn his cannon on the treacherous Bongo Bill, or save him and burn the rest of the town in cleansing cannon fire?
Oooh, the pressure.
The pressure.
Go.
-
But-
a very special cannon.
Oh, okay. :happy:
-
Oh, sweet!
I'm innocent again!
:goodnews:
-
I'm the seer.
-
Am I still Guild?
-
I shoot Guild.
-
I didn't get a role PM in the first round, so I really had no idea if I was the wolf or not, but I figured it didn't much matter. Ditto this one.
Next round I want to be the confirmed innocent AND Guild.
-
THE PRESS... oh.
Detonator fired the amazing cannon straight at Bongo Bill's stupid head!
"Just as plaaaaaaaaaa" Bongo Bill said, and then he exploded.
Detonator nodded, "Only wolves die when they are killed. You're all innocent!" he declared.
And then Detonator and the Innocents all rocked out.

Innocents win game over.
-
:victory:
See? Killing Guild is always the right answer in this particular case.
-
There is nothing untrue about that statement!
-
This game functions just as well with just one non-Guild player.
Actually it probably functions just as well without him, too.
-
Well I think the challenge is to match Guild's word up against the word of everybody else.
This probably really does work a lot better when Guild is actually Guild because the sheer weight of everybody else being right just slips right off him.
Of course the name of the game is obviously influencing the shooter's decision, too.
-
Not to mention it isn't as fun when most of us aren't wolves.
-
Can I be Guild next game?
-
The thing is that there isn't much to argue about. One side goes "NUT UH" and the other goes "YUH HUH" and you go back and forth and the cannoneer flips a coin.
In a real werewolf game, you discern what's going on by detecting logical fallacies and noticing who's working with whom and, y'know, deduction.
This game is another example of games that would be better in person, because you can watch your opponents sweat.
-
Please keep in mind that this entire concept is a joke. I based it off of a comment by Romo. The assassin game would work better in person, yes.
-
But I like it so much.
...mainly because it can theoretically be finished in a number of seconds.
-
Friday has a habit of turning ridiculous joke wolf games into things fun enough for us to want to improve them so we can play it more.
-
VvWvG

Guild plays as Guild. He is either innocent or a wolf or starts as a vampire. If he is an innocent he can be turned. Anyone, at any time, can kill Guildenstern, simply by stating so in bold.
Guildenstern has the role list, and is notified of everything the GM knows, every day.
Guildenstern wins if he is still alive at the end of the game, and his (current) side wins.
Note that if he begins the game inno and drops the role list immediately, one of the opposing teams will turn him (remember, the wolves get one turn, too) and then he will lose the game because the innos will lynch everyone he named and then kill him, and since he was a wolfpire he'd lose.
Players must threaten Guild to get him to reveal enough information to sate them for the time being. At any time if they are fed up with his bullshit they may kill him. Guild may do whatever the fuck shenanigans and lie and whatever.
Guild cannot be scried.
-
holy shit
-
Note that it's also possible for Guild to begin the game as the Weretiger
-
I don't remember signing up.
This game always ends before I can post. I think I'll pass all subsequent rounds.
-
... we're going to have to try that.
In.
-
UPDATE
Detonator shot Bongo Bill so hard that Bongo Bill died in every game forever.

Guild makes fuckpies in normal games, I cannot imagine what he will do with such awesome knowledge.
IN.
-
I'm only in if there can be some sort of God Hand theme going. Or really just people being punched a lot and/or hard enough to end up in other states.

So .. innocents are Alexander?
-
Count me in!
-
I guess I should say in before Friday decides that people who post in this thread aren't automatically joining. Losers.
-
In.
-
do i have to say so every time i'll play this game
-
Well, I'll run this if I get 25 people.
I do not even remotely expect to.
Oh, and, uh, I'd need Guild.
-
Are there even that many regular members?
-
Regular players? No. I've gotten 25 before, though. Three times.
Last time I asked, I got twenty, I think.
-
Well, I'll run this if I get 25 people.
I do not even remotely expect to.
Oh, and, uh, I'd need Guild.
That many? Sure, why the fuck not? In.
-
So what's the count at now?
-
me if I didn't join already
-
:nyoro~n: I dunno how much time I can responsibly make for the game, but what the hell? In, you lynch happy bitches!
-
I'm obviously in this.
