    TWG XXII Hosting - voting reopened

    I know Chardish is going to run for this, so he can just edit this with his final draft of the game plan. Running against him this time will be:

    Whorlichan

    The plot is the usual Buffy The Vampire Slayer episode: Vampires are attacking Sunnydale. The point is to find the vampires and kill them before they kill all the humans.

    There will be 3 blues: a guardian, a seer, and a psychic.
    Guardian: Gets to choose one person each night to protect from the vampires. CANNOT protect self.
    Seer: Gets a report each night (after the kill) about a chosen person's role.
    Psychic: Gets the report at the beginning of each day (or after everything has been done for the night) about how many vampires are left.

    There will be 3 reds: a master vampire, a vampire seer, and one regular vampire.
    Master Vampire: Seen as normal human if ever seen by the Human Seer.
    Vampire Seer: Gets a report each night (after the kill) about a chosen person's role. CANNOT be used before the kill the same night to choose who to kill, but CAN use that information to choose who to kill the NEXT night.
    Regular Vampire: No special powers.

    New Role: Master Blue. This is a randomly assigned "master wolf" power to one of the already-assigned blues. If seen by the Vampire Seer, the report comes back as normal human.

    Kill priority is as follows:

    1. Guardian guards someone.
    2. Vampires kill someone.
    a. If they kill the guarded person, he is saved.
    3. Human seer report. (Applies whether the person seen is dead or alive as a result of that night's kill.)
    a. Sees a green: Gets a report of green/human.
    b. Sees a blue: Gets a report of blue/human/name of role.
    c. Sees a red: Gets a report of red/vampire/name of role.
    1. Sees the Master Vampire: Gets a report of green/human.
    4. Vampire seer report. (Applies whether the person seen is dead or alive as a result of that night's kill.)
    a. Sees a green: Gets a report of green/human.
    b. Sees a blue: Gets a report of blue/human/name of role.
    1. Sees the Master Blue: Gets a report of green/human.
    c. Sees a red: Gets a report of red/vampire/name of role. (Shouldn't happen, as they all know each other.)

    Tps222

    Same thing once again.

    Ok, here. 18 players, football themed. 4 blues- Quarterback, 2 Static Wide Recievers, and a Guard. 3 wolves-Safety, Middle Linebacker, Defensive End.

    QB=Quaterback
    G=Guard
    S=Saftey
    WR=Wide Reciever
    DE=Defensive End
    MLB=Middle Line Backer.

    QB has the power to throw passes, and has 2 seerings. A pass is when the QB chooses one player each night to throw a "pass" to. If the Pass is thrown to the WR, and the safety does not inteferre, the QB finds out the role of the WR. Seerings and passes can be used together in the same night.

    WR-Static. Role is explained up in the QB section.

    G- Can guard a player- will get deeper into this later.

    S- If chooses the WR with his power, and the WR is thrown a pass, the identity of the WR is known to the S, and the QB and WR find out nothing, goes as a incomplete pass.

    MLB- Kamakaze powers. Can kill himself and another at anytime during the game, counts as the days lynching. CAN NOT END THE GAME. If waited to the end of the game, power becomes void.

    DE- Has the power to "blitz" the QB. If the QB is chosen, then the QB dies.

    Now, for the variations:

    If the G gaurds the QB, and the DE uses his power on he QB, the DE's power is gone for the rest of the game.

    If the S uses his power on the WR, and the WR gets a pass thrown to him, and the G guards the WR, then the QB learns the role of not only the WR, but the S as well. The S also learns the indetity of the WR. This makes it difficult for the QB to come out, as the guardian can only protect one. With the chance of getting sacked as well, it adds another dimension.

    My game would be very simple.

    No blues.

    After what's been going on lately with TWG, I'm anxious to see how you all could do without things like guardians, seers (this includes seer based roles *cough*morphWTF*cough*), etc. In general, I'd like to see how this would play out without a strong alliance of any kind.

    Amount of people in the game and amount of wolves to be determined if I actually win. And by determined I mean talked over with TWC until we come to an agreement.

    Story would probably be very lacking. It doesn't really matter though, since if you only play a TWG based on who has the best story, you need to adjust your priorities.

    PS Yes this idea was spawned from the bitterness of having lost when I did all I could and then some.


    Chardish

    I'm going to run an election TWG. You know I do an awesome job hosting because I write good, funny stories and have interesting ideas for cool games like this.

    Election TWG

    The gameplay is perfectly normal. 16 players, 3 wolves (1 of them master wolf), 1 seer, 1 guardian.

    The game features cardflipping - meaning when you die, either by wolfing or by lynching, everyone learns your role.

    The catch: At the beginning of the game every human sends in 6 votes to the host, privately: 1st 2nd 3rd choice for who they want to be seer, 1st 2nd 3rd choice for who they want to be guardian. Wolves don't vote.

    If your 1st choice vote was for a wolf, then it gets ignored and converted to a 2nd choice vote. If that was a wolf too, it gets converted to your 3rd choice vote. If your 3rd choice vote was also a wolf, your vote doesn't count. (Odds of this happening: 00.21%)

    The person with the most votes gets "elected" to the role. In case of a tie, the person who had more 2nd choice votes wins. In case of a tie, the person who had more 3rd choice votes wins. In case of a tie, coin toss to determine who wins.

    It is not to your advantage to share who you voted for, especially not publicly, because this makes it easier for the wolves to track down the blues.

    Balance: The wolves are allowed to pick one person as "unelectable" who cannot be elected to any blue role. Voting for the unelectable person is like voting for a wolf; your vote gets changed to the next one down.

    I think this game will be really interesting because it's never been tried before, and most people think it sounds like a neat idea.

    RE: TWG XXII Hosting

    How many players and reds in Afro's game? It has to be reasonably balanced, because having no blues at all is quite the advantage for the wolves. If the wolves play it right, not a one of them will die.

      RE: TWG XXII Hosting

      Qreepy: I'd imagine you should just be ignoring Afro's campaign. He isn't running because he wants to, he is running out of anger and from hostility. Which is why he has no gameplan, no structure, and no blues... which is Manhunt to a new level. There is practically no way to form an alliance, which is the only way humans win games. No alliance, no human victory. Its that simple. Wolves would run with Afro's game hands down.

        I wasn't planning on voting for his (due to massive lack of fun and innovation), but it's nice to have the details.

        When's the voting start? Because I like that idea chardish proposed.

            Whorli... I wouldn't have a place to sleep if I voted anyone else.

            Plus... Chardish has hosted 5 or 6 times already. Whorli hasn't.

              Chardish. I like the fact that Whorli wants to host and all, but I'm hoping that she'll hold off for 23. Also I don't like the restrictions on who the vigi can tell that he's the vigi. It seems like that's opening up a huge can of worms.

                  Whorli because I'm just that cool. Honestly, Chardish, you've run like a zillion games and you have ideas for a zillion more. Can't you wait until 23? And I do mean that in the nicest possible way.

                      RE: TWG XXII Hosting

                      suppose in whorli's game we organize so that everyone comes out as the vigilante except the vigilante. By process of elimination we'd have the vigilante and an instant allilance. (the vigi couldn't come out or else he'd die whereas everyone else can come out as the vigi and nothing happens to them). the wolves would have to go along with it since otherwise it would be kind of obvious if there were four people not coming out as the vigilante.

                        Talisman... the point of the rule was not to go "Hey, how can we get around this?" It is so that it is made clear that the role is to be used solely to kill someone, by themselves, and in no way make an alliance.

                          The Caldor Rule Clause will apply to whorli's Vigi role if she is chosen to host.
                          I watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.

                            Or the vigi could just contact everyone on AIM individually. There are tons of ways the vigi could get around this you-can't-tell-anyone idea, even if it's not digging deep to find a loophole. Whorli said that the vigi could tell people on AIM, so why not everyone? What's the difference with that and coming out in the thread?

                            Also, with the vampire seer, there's probably going to be considerable importance placed on forming an alliance with the guardian. Since just one of the blues will have immunity to it, the others are quite vulnerable to random guess luck.

                            I find it a little sketchy. Plus, Tps's blues are cooler.

                              Kilga's comment is saying this... any clear attempt to use a loophole in the rule is not allowed. We know the flaws in the vigi. So accept the fact that Whorli is using the vigi WITHOUT the ability to come out.

                              How about this... make it REAL easy... THE VIGI CAN'T TELL ANYONE HE IS THE VIGI. ONCE HE KILLS SOMEONE, CLEARLY HE'S THE VIGI AND AN ALLIANCE CAN BE FORMED WITH HIM... until then, he's purely green and has nothing special to tell anyone.
